You can't blame her for overthinking.

These days, who still rushes to thank people?

Could it be that we've been scammed?

Lin Yuxi sat at the entrance of the courtyard and waited.

Hearing her agree, Cao Wang breathed a sigh of relief. "Just go and check on it in a bit, it should be fine."

Gu Zhixiang's home is very close to Qinghe Village Primary School. Although there are more than 200 households in the village, there are not many children. There are only about 20 students in the primary school.

Lin Yuxi sat under the eaves and could still hear the sounds of children playing and laughing at school, as well as the chirping of birds hanging in the trees.

“Okay.” She nodded, fanning herself with her straw hat every now and then. The two sat at the door for more than half an hour before Gu Chen came back from the loess slope carrying a basket.

Cao Wang offered a few words of explanation, though he seemed embarrassed.

finally.

After riding a bicycle for more than an hour, we finally arrived at the hospital in Xinluo Town.

The hospital wasn't exactly empty, but there weren't many people there either.

When Lin Yuxi arrived, she immediately knew which old lady it was.

"She lives in room 301, you can go up now."

Lin Yuxi walked ahead through the narrow corridor, with Gu Chen following behind her. As soon as they reached the third floor, they heard an old woman's voice.

"You spendthrift! You've sliced ​​off the whole apple! Are you here to serve me or to annoy me?"

"My son is so unlucky to have married you! Your womb is so useless, it gave birth to a money-losing child."

"Hurry up and pour me a glass of water, are you trying to kill me with thirst?"

The hospital had poor soundproofing, and her sharp and sarcastic voice could be heard throughout almost the entire corridor.

Lin Yuxi looked up at the numbers marked on the door frame, went inside, and found only an old lady and a woman.

The old woman saw them and changed her tone, asking, "Who are you looking for?"

Her eyes darted around, her gaze lingering on Lin Yuxi for a moment. She was quite a pretty young girl, while the boy was dark-skinned and tall. Compared to her, the old lady's face was wrinkled like a piece of parchment. Although she was shocked by Lin Yuxi's appearance.

A thought flashed through my mind, and I instantly recognized the person. The old woman's tone was filled with undisguised contempt, and she let out a soft snort, "You're the ones who saved me?"

Lin Yuxi stood at the door, her voice neither loud nor soft, "Mm."

"Save what?" The old woman suddenly sat up in bed, ignoring her wounds, and pointed at her with her withered fingers. "You were the ones who led me into the deep mountains, saying there were pheasants in the back mountains, but you ended up sending this old woman into a wolf's den!"

There were quite a few people at the hospital, all of whom had heard that the old lady had been bitten by a wolf but was lucky to survive. Her voice was sharp and loud, which immediately attracted a lot of people to come to the entrance to watch the excitement.

Seeing a crowd gathered at the door, the old lady lifted the quilt, revealing her legs wrapped in bandages, with traces of blood seeping out.

"I'm sixty years old, how could I possibly outrun a wild wolf? And you all, now you're playing the good guys, leaving this old woman like me in the hospital and then abandoning her! You heartless bastards!"

The old lady sat on the bed throwing a tantrum, then suddenly clutched her chest and coughed violently. Blood seeped from her arms and legs, making her look particularly alarming, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Yuxi and Gu Chen.

The two of them weren't poorly dressed; they weren't wearing patched clothes. We'd sell everything we own to make sure they paid for their medical expenses.

"Kids these days are so cruel!"

"They actually tricked a woman in her sixties into going deep into the mountains and forests."

"How can someone so young have such a vicious mind?"

Lin Yuxi's gaze suddenly darkened. "Slandering others can result in a record being kept and public criticism. I kindly saved you, and now you're turning around and biting me?"
