"Don't move!" the doctor scolded. "I'm cleaning your wound, what are you doing moving around?!"
The man's lips moved, but his gaze was fixed on Jiang Ci, deep and reserved, as if he could see through everything.
Jiang Ci swayed slightly, but quickly regained her balance. She took a deep breath to calm her surging emotions and make herself appear less agitated.
Jiang Ci signaled him not to act rashly and just carried Zhou Miao to his side.
"Where the hell have you been? You haven't been home for several days!" Jiang Ci's voice was a little trembling, but she seemed relatively calm.
The man seemed to have not spoken for a long time, his voice very hoarse, "There was a bit of an accident."
The doctor glanced at the man, then at Jiang Ci.
"Your family is the same. Since you're injured, you should be injured together, right?"
The doctor told the educated youth to continue cleaning the man's wounds, while he went back to get a thermometer to take Zhou Miao's temperature.
Thirty-nine degrees eight.
The doctor asked, "How long have you had the fever?"
Jiang Ci: "She was fine when we were eating tonight, but suddenly she started crying from the pain. When I touched her body, I found that she was very hot, so I came over immediately."
"Give her an injection to bring down her fever first."
The doctor went inside to get needles and medicine, and Jiang Ci held Zhou Miao while watching the educated youth apply medicine to the man's wounds.
When their eyes met, their gazes were quite complex.
After Zhou Miao got a fever-reducing injection, he took a packet of medicine at the medical station.
Jiang Ci stood up and paid the medical bills.
After deducting her medical expenses and the money for buying eggs, Jiang Ci only had six yuan left from the ten yuan she extorted from Li Hu, and she took it all.
I was thinking that I would only give Zhou Miao injections and medicine, and there would be some left over, but I didn't expect there to be another patient here.
Not only did Jiang Ci give away all his money, but he was still short of two yuan.
Behind her, Jiang Ci always felt that the man was looking at her.
Jiang Ci was sweating profusely and looked rather embarrassed.
In the past, she was very generous and almost never returned empty-handed when she saw something she liked, let alone when she couldn't pay for it.
Now... it's not even enough to cover the medical expenses.
Jiangci was in a bit of a predicament.
"You two go back first, and remember to bring those two yuan over tomorrow."
The man responded and stood up.
He wasn't noticeable when he was sitting there, but when he stood up, he was a head taller than Jiang Ci.
He limped behind Jiang Ci, and the three of them left the medical station.
The night was dark, with only the moonlight still bright enough to faintly illuminate the way back.
After nearly a minute of silence, Jiang Ci tentatively asked, "Zhou... Zhou Mingli?"
"It's me."
Zhou Mingli said in a low voice, "Jiang Ci, it's me."
Jiang Ci, who had planned to never see him again after the divorce, felt a sense of relief and tears welling up in her eyes when she realized that the abusive husband in the original body had become her ex-husband, Zhou Mingli.
At least she's not fighting this battle alone.
Jiang Ci quickly asked, "Why are you... here?"
Zhou Mingli shook his head. "When I woke up, I was lying in a big pit. My whole body ached, and I had some unfamiliar memories. That's when I learned that the original owner of this body went to steal things with his brother. They were discovered by that family, and his older brother pushed him and ran away."
"These are the injuries on my body. After I woke up, it took me a long time to walk back."
Jiang Ci sighed, "Although my experience is different from yours, neither of ours has been good."
Jiang Ci also told Zhou Mingli what happened after she woke up.
Zhou Mingli listened attentively.
"Although I don't quite believe it, we have indeed transmigrated into a historical novel, and it's the kind of novel where the male and female supporting characters are a family of villains."
At this point, Jiang Ci's mood became somewhat heavy, and after a long while, she asked Zhou Mingli, "How are Mom and Dad?"
Zhou Mingli remained silent. "I don't know."
Jiang Ci: "You don't know?"
Zhou Mingli shook his head. "According to the time calculation, we should have all come here after the accident. No one went to see my parents."
The parents here refer to Jiang Ci's parents. Zhou Mingli only has a grandparent, and they passed away long ago.
Jiang Ci keenly noticed the key point in his words, "What happened after you came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau?"
Zhou Mingli countered with a question, "You don't remember?"
Jiang Ci: "What do you remember?"
Zhou Mingli rubbed his heart, which still vaguely felt a sharp contraction, and said, "We... you had just left the Civil Affairs Bureau when an out-of-control car rushed towards you."
The car that was coming towards her, how could he also be in an accident?
Jiang Ci stopped walking, and Zhou Mingli, anticipating her sudden braking, almost hit her.
Jiang Ci turned to look at him, "You couldn't save me, so we got hit by a car together?"
Zhou Mingli did not answer, which Jiang Ci took as tacit agreement.
She continued walking forward without saying another word.
Zhou Mingli is a man of few words. If Jiang Ci doesn't speak, he won't speak either.
Although Zhou Miao was very light, she was still a three-year-old child and weighed several dozen kilograms. Jiang Ci carried her all the way, and her arms were very tired. She had to bounce her up and down along the way to move her swollen and sore arms.
Zhou Mingli whispered, "Let me hold you."
“You’re covered in injuries. What if you move too much and aggravate your wounds and cause them to bleed?” Jiang Ci replied, “I still owe the clinic two yuan in medical fees.”
Zhou Mingli looked at her head, which was bandaged, and asked, "Don't you have an injury on your head too?"
The two of them froze at the same time. Jiang Ci couldn't help but chuckled, "You've never seen me so embarrassed before, have you?"
In the past, wherever Jiang Ci went, she was always the center of attention, if not dazzlingly so. Whatever she did, she was always confident and capable, and it seemed that no difficulty was insurmountable in front of her.
