Chapter 2: Being Thanked for Being Hospitalized

Ye Zhen didn't dare to continue resting in the hospital for two days. His pockets were empty, so he took the receipts for all the hospital expenses and prepared to go back for reimbursement.

The Soul-Fixing Pearl is indeed powerful. No wonder it can be regarded as a family treasure. Her body has recovered.

I took the subway according to my memory, and then walked for another twenty minutes to the rental apartment after arriving at the station.

This is a village in the city. Although Jincheng is a nationally economically developed city, its outward splendor cannot conceal the hardships of the people's livelihood.

Ye Zhen opened the door according to his memory. This was a self-built shared house. Compared with a house with stairs, the space was higher, so the decoration was naturally average.

As a college student who is still intern, Ye Zhen doesn't have much money in his pocket. The salary he gets from his job is so low that after paying the rent, utilities, and electricity bills every month, there is not much left. Now, he has to pay the hospital for all the food expenses he saved before.

Submit a reimbursement application to the company right away!

I haven't been back for a few days, and the whole room seemed to be covered with a layer of dust. I subconsciously made a hand gesture, but then I forgot that there was only a little spiritual energy in my body, so the cleaning technique was naturally useless.

Thinking about resigning and going home in a few days, Ye Zhen didn't pack up. He shook off the quilt, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and started practicing again.

The body still has the original spiritual roots, so there is no need to find other methods. Just start to guide the spirit in the familiar way.

After a while, Ye Zhen couldn't help but sigh, it was too slow, watching the dripping in his soul take a long time to attract the thin spiritual energy.

I continued to meditate. I don’t know how long it had been, but I finally achieved enlightenment with the help of the free spiritual energy in the air. Now I have reached the first stage of Qi training.

There was a layer of greasy black stains all over his body, like a hard shell. When people moved, the stains would fall off with a rustling sound, and when they were torn with their fingers, a piece of stain would stick to them again.

There are too many impurities in the body, which have been accumulated for more than 20 years and cannot be discharged in a short time.

He could only wait to be washed away every time he practiced. Ye Zhen sighed, and washed back and forth two or three times before the smell on his body was clear.

The small house was filled with a fishy smell. She quickly opened the window to let the wind take it away. She even hated herself.

He grimaces and pulls back the bed sheet. This quilt can no longer be used. It is soaked with grease and stench. It cannot be cleaned without half a packet of laundry detergent.

After rolling it into a ball, find a bag to put it in and throw it away.

Now, the already empty room is even emptier, with the mattress exposed.

He just found a stall and continued to meditate to consolidate his cultivation.

When I opened my eyes, the lights were already on. The orange light of the street lights outside was reflected on the curtains, and a cool breeze blew in, and there was no odor in the room.

He was hungry, but his mortal body had not yet undergone fasting. Feeling his restless stomach, Ye Zhen got up to look for food.

There was only a pack of noodles left in the small kitchen, no refrigerator, a handful of green vegetables that were all wilted and yellow, a few eggs, and two tomatoes. I wanted to cook some noodles, but I couldn't help frowning when I smelled the food.

Such a heavy dust!

Before entering the Tao, you won’t notice anything, but once you practice and enter your body, you can see clearly within a radius of ten miles.

A little smell seems to be magnified and drilled into the nose.

If I eat this, all my training today will be in vain.

He quickly used his limited spiritual energy to make hand gestures to close his five senses. Looking at the simple ingredients, Ye Zhen had no choice but to do his old job.

There was no soil at home, so Ye Zhen walked out of the room and dug a pot of soil in the corner of the yard.

Take out the tomato seeds, recite the formula silently, and cast the initial chapter of the spiritual method to attract the plants - infusing the spirit.

I saw that the small sesame seeds seemed to be illuminated by a layer of spiritual light. The slightly shriveled seeds instantly absorbed sufficient nutrients and swelled up, becoming the size of mung beans in the blink of an eye.

Wow! This kind of seed change is good!

Ye Zhen happily buried the seeds in the soil and squeezed out the few remaining spiritual energy in the Dan Palace to inject into the seeds in the pot.

It sprouts, grows vines, leaves, and flowers, until it produces red fruits as big as bowls.

The three tomato plants were growing well, with branches as thick as fingers climbing on the wall and table. Each plant had more than a dozen red fruits, which were big and juicy.

Ye Zhen couldn't wait to pick one and start eating it. It was sweet and juicy, not sandy, with thin skin and thick flesh, and the seeds were also a circle larger than the original ones.

She squatted there and ate three of them before she was satisfied.

At night, Ye Zhen curled up on a small blanket and meditated, while the cell phone next to him had been ringing non-stop since the day.

Looking at the message from Manager Chen, she knew that someone from the company was looking for her, but she didn't want to pay attention to it, so she pretended not to see it and continued to meditate.

Who wants to go to work now? Go!

The next day, Ye Zhen Zhaolie was eating tomatoes for breakfast when the phone started ringing. Ye Zhen didn't answer the phone as it kept ringing one after another.

She had no choice but to open her phone, "Hello?"

The tone on the other end was not very good, asking why I didn’t answer the phone?

Ye Zhen rolled his eyes, but said in a businesslike way:

"Sister Chen, I'm sorry, I was so weak that I almost lost my life. The doctor recommended that I rest and I didn't even check my phone, so I didn't answer it."

Sister Chen's tone suddenly weakened, and she greeted dryly:

"When will you feel better? When can you go back to work? As you know, our company has a wide range of businesses, and the clothing e-commerce business has been developing well. We can't be absent for too long when we are busy, right?"

"I'm almost out of work, and the company doesn't have any explanation?"

As the company's personnel manager, Manager Chen naturally knew about the company's benefits. Upon hearing this, he said:

"Eighty percent of your hospitalization expenses will be reimbursed this time, and the period will be settled according to your normal work salary."

"What about overtime pay? I almost died from working overtime for the company. Logically, the company should compensate me for all my hospitalization expenses, including nutrition expenses and loss of work time." Ye Zhen asked back.

You little brat, you think this is a benefit? Are you bullying her because she just got put back here and doesn't know about labor laws?

She checked it out at the hospital!

Manager Chen had a dark face and said in a dissatisfied tone: "I'm sorry, the company stipulates that everyone is required to work overtime voluntarily, and there is no overtime pay. Now I have already secured the maximum benefit for you."

In other words, don't think about anything else.

Ye Zhen didn't say much, "Okay, then wait."

When did overtime work become an obligation? She wasn't doing charity! She had a cell phone with the time clocks. She got off work at one or two in the morning every day and had to work during the day. She worked like this for four days straight. Even the strongest person couldn't stand it!

She did not make things difficult for Manager Chen, as he was just an employee. She picked up her phone and sent the recording to the work group and various cooperation groups. She edited a long paragraph and sent out the medical records. In addition, she also had to include social media accounts, especially Tik Tok, which had a large traffic volume. She did not believe that he was not anxious for the company's reputation.

After putting away his phone, Ye Zhen planned to go out for a walk, mainly to check on the seeds and seedlings. It would be difficult for a spiritual planter to practice without planting.

Ye Zhen planned to take the subway to the flower and bird market. In order to save time, she used the navigation to take a shortcut. As she walked, she sighed that the road was lined with big trees, which were old enough, and the air quality was relatively better.

There are residential areas on both sides. The path is not big and is a bit like a small residential park. There are many flowers, plants and trees, and the spiritual energy is more abundant than in the urban area.

Sometimes it's not good to have too sharp eyes. Ye Zhen was admiring the cherry blossoms and kapok trees planted by his family, but his eyes turned and his heart jumped when he looked towards the window in front of him!

Whose kid is clinging to the window with half of his body about to fall off!

Ye Zhen ran as fast as he could, looking inside. He estimated that he was on the fourth floor. If he fell...

The people around had no idea of ​​the danger above, and they didn't dare shout loudly for fear of scaring the children.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have much spiritual energy, and his Qi training level is only at the first stage, which means his body is stronger than that of ordinary people.

It was too late. Ye Zhen took a run, climbed up to the top of the wall in a few steps, and without bothering to explain to the people around him, he flipped over and jumped in.

"Hey, why did this little girl jump in?"

"What's this for?"

"Look, is it still hanging on the window? Oh my God, it's going to fall down. Go find someone to help!"

Some people saw Ye Zhen climb over, and naturally followed Ye Zhen's gaze, and this time they were looking at the child on the windowsill.

Someone was calling for help urgently, but no one dared to speak loudly. Some residents who lived nearby came out after hearing the noise and offered to move their own thick quilts to help.

But there is no winter in Jincheng all year round, and there are no thick quilts at home.

The security guard and property management haven't arrived yet. There is a group of people gathered outside the wall watching. It's working hours now, and there are not many residents inside, and even fewer people following Ye Zhen.

It was too late. Ye Zhen ran over and took off his clothes, ignoring the screams of the people behind him.

"Ah!! The child fell down!"

"Whose child is this? It's too late!"

"Where is the master? Does anyone know the master of this family?"

Ye Zhenxin had her heart hanging in her throat. She ran to the window at the speed of wind and opened her hands before she could even catch her breath.

"Bang!" The child fell heavily on me.

Ye Zhen only felt that his penis was about to break, his internal organs were about to be dislocated, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat.

She fell to the ground and the child threw himself on her. It seemed that there was no big problem. Ye Zhen guided the Soul-Fixing Pearl to slowly repair the bleeding internal organs.

By the time he was taken away by the ambulance called by the residents, Ye Zhen's body had already recovered a lot along the way.

"I'm back." Looking at the nurse who was anxiously pushing the cart in front of him, Ye Zhen greeted her with a smile.

The nurse was about to cry when she saw an acquaintance. This child was so unlucky. He was admitted to the hospital again for emergency treatment just a few days after being discharged. She didn't know whether he was okay this time.

It’s okay, Ye Zhen is lucky, his fatal injury has been completely repaired.

The doctors found it incredible!

This time, even Ye's father Ye Minghai and Ye's mother Xu Mei received a call from the hospital. When they heard that Ye Zhen was in the hospital, they hurried over from their hometown.

When Ye Zhen opened his eyes, Ye's mother came over and asked, "Ye Zi, how do you feel now? Does it hurt?"

"I was so scared that I almost died. Your father and I were so weak in the knees when we received the call from the hospital. You say you are such a good person, but there are so many people out there, how could it be your turn to be a hero? If you are not careful, you will be dead!" Mother Ye said as tears streamed down her face.

It’s not that it’s a bad thing for the child to save people, but this time, if it weren’t for God’s mercy and the blessings of the ancestors, the person might not be alive.

If someone falls from the building, there is a risk of being crushed to death! Although it is not pleasant to say, she would rather be selfish and hope that her child is fine and not get involved.

Father Ye nodded silently.

Ye Zhen felt happy when he saw his parents whom he hadn't seen for hundreds of years. He kept comforting them, thinking that even though he was hundreds of years old, he still had to call people who were only in their dozens mom and dad.

Only after Ye's mother stopped crying did Ye Zhen look around.

"Mom, you and Dad are here, where are the others?"

"Your little brother and your grandparents are at home. When they heard that you were in the hospital, they were so worried that they didn't come with you. Don't worry, you are fine! I will call your grandparents later to let them know you are safe."

Xu Mei answered while packing up the things she had brought.

"This is really a disaster. Forget about the internship. Health is the most important thing. How about going home to recuperate and then come back to find a job?"

Father Ye, who was standing nearby, felt sorry for his daughter, who had been sensible since she was young. This time she had finally managed to survive, and she insisted that she take a good rest and then go home and let her mother take her to the temple to burn incense and worship.

Ye Zhen: "..."

The couple burns incense when they have something to do, but can't think of it when they have nothing to do.

"I think so too. Forget about the internship. I really need to recuperate for a few days. As for the graduation stamp, I'll go home and ask my uncle to get a stamp from his factory. I'll talk about it after graduation. Dad, you have to let my uncle know. Don't let anything slip when the school calls to inquire. Don't delay your graduation because you don't have enough points for the internship."

I used to think about not bothering my relatives, but now I don’t think so anymore. Whoever likes this crappy class can join!

Ye Zhen was holding the home-grown cherries that her parents had brought from far away, and she told her father that the cherries were sour and sweet, and they must have grown in the mountains and had few impurities.

Ye's mother washed the food and brought it over in a fresh-keeping box, so you can just grab a handful when you want to eat it, but it's a pity that it can't be kept for long.

"Go home and wait a little longer. I haven't finished my graduation defense yet. I haven't finished my thesis after all the traveling back and forth. Besides, I just rented a house not long ago, and it's only a few stops away from school. I'll quit my internship first and finish my thesis in the rented house. Then I can go home and recuperate after the defense."

Ye Zhen is now lying in bed. Although no major internal injuries have been found so far, the hospital is afraid of potential risks and recommends hospitalization for a few days of observation.

Naturally, whatever Ye Zhen said was what it was, and Ye's father and mother had no objection.

As the family of three was talking, there was a knock on the door.

Ye's mother was pouring water at the time, so she opened the door directly, stood at the door, and was stunned for a long while.

Ye's father was also curious, "Who is it?"

A middle-aged couple was outside the door, carrying a basket full of flowers and fruits.

The door was not fully opened yet, the middle-aged man put down the things in his hand, rushed forward and knelt on the ground.

"I am so grateful to your daughter, otherwise... I... my family would have broken up..." He didn't finish his words, his voice was choked with sobs, and tears suddenly flowed down his face as he was a grown man.

As the saying goes: A man's knees are made of gold.

But now, who remembers this?

Wang Hui was terrified at the thought that his only child almost died.

My husband and I have been married for many years and had a child in middle age. For the baby that we finally got, we hold it in our mouths for fear that it will melt, and it is not an exaggeration to hold it in the palm of our hearts.

Unfortunately, my husband and I are both teachers in the school. The elderly in the family are old and live with my brother and sister-in-law. We can't trouble them to take care of the children, right? So we hired a nanny to look after the children.

Who knew that when the nanny was serving food to the child, the child was naughty and opened the window bars, climbed up and fell down.

If someone hadn't picked up the child, his child wouldn't have been injured so lightly!

Now, let alone kneeling, he would not hesitate even if his life was taken away!

Father Ye stepped aside and stepped forward to stop him:

"Oh, that's not possible. No one wants something like this to happen. Please take good care of the child. It won't happen again next time. If it weren't for my daughter's luck, I wouldn't agree to it. Every child is a treasure."

Father Ye thought about how his daughter had suffered so much for no reason, just because the other party didn't take good care of the child. He got angry at the thought. If she hadn't been spared, her daughter's life would have been ruined. He pulled the man up and continued with anger:

"Forget it this time. My daughter is lucky. Just take good care of the child!"

Wang Hui also knew that he was in the wrong and kept nodding his head while being scolded. It was because the other girl took the place of a cushion that his son was fine. It was no exaggeration to say that he had saved their entire family, and what the other parent said was not wrong.

He lowered his head in guilt and listened to Ye's father's teachings sincerely.

When Ye's father told him to stop talking, Ye's mother Xu Mei seemed to have just reacted and hurriedly stood up and pulled the other person to sit down.

If she were to say, the parents of these children should be scolded. If the children were not so young, the parents would not notice them. Otherwise, the Ye family would not be so easy to deal with.

Wang Hui's wife also came forward and kept apologizing. She was in tears before she had said a few words. This time she was really scared.

When the child had the accident, the school was holding an emergency notification meeting because it was a working day. During the meeting, I received a call from a neighbor saying that the child had an accident. I almost fainted on the spot.

After finally arriving at the hospital, she was afraid to go in and had to rely on the child's father to support her. She finally came to her senses when she saw that her child was fine, and her back, even though she was wearing clothes, was covered in cold sweat.

So she is really grateful to the parents who saved their child.

"Next time I'll keep an eye on the kids."

Xu Mei moved a chair out and asked Wang Hui's wife to sit down. Looking at her crying, she couldn't say any unpleasant words.

"Yeah, thank you so much girl."

Wang Hui's wife held Xu Mei's hand gratefully and looked at Ye Zhen lying on the hospital bed.

"We don't know how to thank you. We brought some fruits and nutritional supplements. We also paid for the child's hospitalization. Don't worry, call us if you have any problems!"

As he spoke, Wang Hui took out a bank card from his bag.

"The password is right above. Here's my contact information. Let's add it. If you need anything, be sure to find me. Although my husband and I are not very capable, we still have a few capable relatives at home."

Dad Ye exchanged contact information, and the money was just right for his daughter's nutritional supplements, so he accepted it without hesitation.

Her daughter specially rescued someone else's child, so he didn't feel guilty at all for taking the thank-you fee!

Seeing that Father Ye took the things, Wang Hui and his wife felt much better.

By the time the Ye family sent the Wang couple out, it was already time for lunch.

Dad Ye wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. It was quite tiring to accept thanks from others!

Ye Zhen wanted to laugh when he saw it.

Father Ye glared at Ye Zhen and put away the fruit that was sent by others.

"You must be hungry. You can't eat anything after the operation. Let me buy something light." Father Ye said, glancing at the ward. He thought that Ye Zhen would need to be observed for a few more days, so he needed to buy some towels and other things.
