Chapter Ninety-Four: Our Wish

Fearing that the system would break down, she spent nearly two more days seeing all the patients she had missed during her six or seven-day absence before she finally had some free time.

When Ma Liang returned the flashlight, he was carrying a small bucket full of cicada nymphs. The bucket was packed full of them, and his dark little face was beaming with a bright smile.

"Sister Gu! Look!"

As he spoke, he presented the small bucket to Gu Zuozuo as if he were showing off some treasure.

"Sister Gu, you like this, this is what I saved for you."

The boy's sun-tanned face now had chubby cheeks, indicating that he had been eating well and his body was getting the nutrition he needed. He was no longer the skinny boy he had been when we first met.

"Why didn't you keep it for yourself? What if I don't come back?"

Ma Liang proudly raised his head, his bright eyes filled with joy.

“I leave you a small bucket every day. I know you won’t come back, so I’ll eat it myself. I’m not afraid it will spoil.”

Gu Zuozuo gently rubbed his slightly prickly buzz cut, her eyes softening.

"Don't worry, Sister Gu. I ask Uncle Captain to take them to the county town to sell every day during his meetings. They're two for one cent each. I've earned enough for my tuition in the last few days!"

"That's great! There's still more than a month before school starts, so keep working hard and save up more money to buy you and Grandma some good food. Don't rush to return the flashlight, I have another one here."

Fluttering~

"Chirp chirp~"

Gu Zuozuo's eyes sharpened as she caught sight of a small yellow bird fluttering its wings and flying towards her.

This idiot actually sent her a flying bird in broad daylight.

With a slight twitch of the fingers behind his back, the paper bird vanished into thin air.

"Here, take this, it's a gift for you."

She stuffed a packet of honey into his hand, not letting him refuse.

"Grandma can eat this candy too, take it home."

Ma Liang understood her meaning, and without refusing, he stuffed the candy into his pocket, waved, and ran away quickly with his flashlight.

Sister Tiantian said that Sister Gu has a lot of things to do, and he can't come and bother her often.

After confirming that no one was around, Gu Zuozuo took out the flying bird.

The bird flapped its wings, circled her several times, and then stopped in front of her, slowly opening its wings. A familiar, clear voice rang in her ears.

"What did you say you wanted to hand over? You wait! I'll be there with the boss right away!"

Gu Zuozuo rubbed her ears and rolled her eyes speechlessly.

How did this woman get recruited into the Bureau of Foreign Affairs?

Not only do they have unusual and unconventional perspectives on doing things, but they are also very impulsive and decisive.

· ...

At 11 p.m., the entire Malutun village fell into silence, with only the chirping of insects and croaking of frogs remaining.

Four figures appeared at the entrance of the health station as if they were ghosts.

Is this the place?

The tall man at the head turned his head and asked the petite girl beside him.

Before the girl could speak, the door creaked open, and a dim light shone through.

A strange, round object stood at the doorway, its two constantly flashing red eyes staring intently at the four people.

"Holy crap! What's this?"

New Year politely extended his mechanical arm and gave a gentlemanly bow, gesturing for the four people to enter.

"The master has been waiting for a long time, please come in."

The four looked at each other, wondering what this talking and polite creature was.
