Wei Dingbang opened his eyes drowsily and found that he had been moving.

When I looked down, I found myself being carried on a stretcher by two people and running forward.

He hummed, cleared his throat, and said, "Stop."

The person carrying him ran very fast and said, "We can't stop. You are seriously injured. The wound has not been dressed in time and there are signs of infection. You must be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. If you delay any longer, something serious will happen."

Wei Dingbang looked at the surrounding scenery and found that this was already the scope of Hongxing City.

He immediately sat up from the stretcher without caring about anything, took a step with his long legs, stood firmly on the ground, and ran south without looking back.

The two men were stunned, and chased after him carrying a stretcher: "Hey, where are you going?"

"I want to go home, thank you." Wei Dingbang ran very fast and soon disappeared.

The two men carrying the stretcher chased after them but failed to catch up and looked at each other in surprise.

"This man is injured but still running so fast, he really doesn't care about his life."

"I'm afraid there's something urgent going on at home. Forget it, everyone has run away, let's go back."

…

Dr. Li entered the operating room and was pushed out again more than an hour later.

When Dr. Dong came out, his face was gloomy, and Lu Manyue heard him cursing under his breath.

"There was no good meat at all. Fortunately, it was delivered in time and Lao Li was lucky. The person who did this was really cruel. He tore open the wound little by little and finally suffocated him. This torture was like torture."

Soon, Dr. Li was pushed out, and Wang Tingting nervously went forward to check on him.

Doctor Li smiled at her and said, "It's nothing, it will be fine after a while. You must have been worried these days, right?"

Wang Tingting nodded with sobs, almost unable to hold back her tears.

"Silly girl." Turning to look at Lu Manyue, he waved at her again.

When Lu Manyue came closer, he lowered his voice and said, "Although I only remember the two women who gave birth the most, and I don't remember much about the other four, but the young Ji who was in charge of the archives at that time, Ji Yuntang, was a very responsible young man.

If he could be found, he might remember the names and addresses of the other four women who had given birth.

In addition, the deformed fetus that was later confirmed not to be from the Lin family, excluding factors such as drugs and radiation, could only be the product of a marriage between close relatives that would be deformed like that.

In some remote rural areas, many people still continue the ancient practice of marrying relatives, wondering if it will affect future generations.

Perhaps, if you ask around and find out who got pregnant and gave birth during that period and who were close relatives, that would be a clue.”

Lu Manyue nodded slightly and took note of what Dr. Li said.

After the hospital matter was settled, Lu Manyue went straight back to the factory.

There will be a meeting tomorrow, and as a member of Hongxing Steel Plant, she must attend.

When she was leaving the emergency center, she happened to meet Su Jili who was taking out the trash, so she casually asked about Qin Ning's condition.

Su Jili said that Qin Ning always talked about her, and asked her to go and see him in person when she had time.

Lu Manyue promised to visit her when she was free.

Su Jili suddenly stared at the hospital gate in a daze.

A tall and thin man wearing coarse clothes walked quickly out of the hospital gate and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

Lu Manyue followed Su Jili's gaze and happened to see Qin Tian walking in.

Her face changed, and she immediately said to Su Jili: "Qin Ning's brother is here again, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

Su Jili snorted coldly and said, "He came here once yesterday and wanted to take Qin Ning back. I asked him to pay for the medical expenses, but he said he would collect them. Then he hid aside and tried to sneak into Qin Ning's ward and take her away when no one was paying attention.

After being discovered, Dr. Dong called the security department to kick him out.

He came again today, I'm afraid he has come up with some new countermeasures."

"Transfer Qin Ning out of the ward and have him live in your dormitory. Tell others that he has been discharged from the hospital and ask them to look for him outside." Lu Manyue gave Su Jili a bad idea.

Su Jili nodded and said, "I think so too."

Lu Manyue stayed in the hospital for a while.

Seeing that Qin Tian had not found the person and was being asked by the hospital to pay for the medical expenses, he played tricks and said that whoever was hospitalized should be asked to pay, and that you let the person go yourselves, and it had nothing to do with him.

Qin walked around the inpatient department and looked into every ward. When he didn't see Qin Ning, he left unwillingly.

Seeing him leave, Lu Manyue felt relieved and walked out of the hospital to return to the factory.

After walking more than a mile, she felt a little tired, so she found a slightly cleaner place to sit down and rest.

Behind her was an abandoned pond, in front of her was a country road, and across the road was a desolate cemetery.

From time to time, the wind blew through the grave, making a humming sound.

A little old lady walked past Lu Manyue carrying a bamboo basket.

There were incense, candles and paper money in the basket, and it looked like it was going to a grave.

Lu Manyue watched her walk to the cemetery and climb up a high ridge where there was a mound with a stone tablet erected on it.

After a while, she lay there and started crying sadly.

"My poor child, I raised you with so much hardship, not expecting you to become a successful person, but only hoping that you would be healthy and safe. However, God didn't even give me this hope.

I took you away from me.

Oh my God, what am I going to do next..."

After crying for a while, the old lady seemed to faint from crying and was silent for a long time.

Lu Manyue shouted twice but failed to wake the person up.

Standing up with a frown, Lu Manyue turned and continued walking towards the Hongxing Steel Plant.

Suddenly there was a scream behind me.

The old lady's body suddenly jumped up from the ground and she stared at the snake lying on her legs in horror.

"Yes, it was a poisonous snake..." The old lady screamed and cried, "It's good that it died in front of the child's grave, so that mother and daughter can be reunited in the underworld."

Lu Manyue paused.

You will wake up on your own after being unconscious for a while, but if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, it can be fatal if no one takes care of you.

But there is no human habitation within half a mile.

She also can't recognize herbs.

"Auntie, wait a minute. I'll go to the hospital and ask someone to bring medicine to save you." Lu Man took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and ran back towards the hospital.

The old lady's face turned pale. "It's no use... Yes, it was a five-step snake... From the bite to the poison killing him, it only took a few minutes."

Lu Manyue thought about it and realized that it would take only a few minutes to get to the hospital.

"Actually... there should be some herbs in this cemetery that can cure snake venom... but I can't get down from the high ground or move in this state..."

"Do you know any herbs?" Lu Manyue asked.

“How many country folks would not dig some herbs and eat them to cure their illnesses? Unless it is a serious illness, no one would spend money to go to the hospital.

You see, the one with the little white flowers may be able to cure snake venom."

The old lady pointed to a herb under the high ridge.

There was a shadow swaying behind the tombstone. The old lady coughed, and the shadow immediately fell down.
