Just as Xie Lin brought Shi Shi ashore, he saw an old woman leaning on a cane, standing solemnly in front of Lu Fan and the others.
The old lady seemed very unhappy and told them to leave quickly.
The villagers in the small fishing village are self-sufficient. Apart from the village organizing trips to the city to exchange for daily necessities on a regular basis, they rarely interact with city dwellers.
In their eyes, the small fishing village and the city are two different systems, and they should each live their own lives without interfering with each other.
Therefore, they were not welcoming to city dwellers who appeared in the small fishing village; there was a sense of xenophobia.
Zhou Yan explained, "Old comrade, we're just out for a walk, we'll leave soon, we won't go into the village."
As a local, Zhou Yan also likes to wander around looking for inspiration, and he is very familiar with the habits of the villagers in the small villages around Haicheng.
The old lady hummed in agreement, glanced at the two people who had come up, and slowly walked away, leaning on her cane.
Xie Lin frowned.
What did she mean by that look in her eyes just now?
Did they offend her?
Problem.
Thinking it best to avoid trouble, the group prepared to head back, only to find Shishi gazing longingly at the old woman's trembling back.
No one knows a wife better than her husband; the patriarch is always on his mind.
Little darling, you can't hit her! She's an old lady, she can't take a punch from you.
"She's a bad guy, but not an old bad guy."
? ? ?
While the others were still confused, Xie Lin immediately looked at the old lady.
Taking one step and shaking, taking three steps and slowing down – this is indeed the walking posture of an elderly person.
Why does the little girl say she doesn't look old?
wrong!
There are people near the beach. If they wanted to drive them away, they could call for help at any time. Why send an elderly person who has difficulty walking?
Lu Fan and Zhang Dong also reacted quickly. The three exchanged glances without making a sound, and Lu Fan slapped Zhou Yan's arm.
"Ouch, why did you hit me?"
"Oh dear, I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry. My legs went numb from sitting for so long. Let me stretch them out a bit. Are you alright?" Lu Fan apologized insincerely.
That sounds a bit teasy, but none of those present knew how to appreciate tea.
"Oh dear, little brother, your hand is bleeding. Did the wound reopen?"
"Wait here, I'll go to the village and ask if there's a doctor, or find some medicine."
"Old comrade, wait a minute, wait a minute, my brother's hand is bleeding, do you have any medicine?"
Zhang Dong talked as he chased after the old lady.
Zhou Yan, the "tool man," looked at the wound that was only oozing a little blood, and his lips twitched repeatedly.
This acting was completely half-hearted.
Why don't you just pin me to the ground and rub me against it?
Born into a military family, he had received training from a young age, and the three men's acting skills couldn't fool him; he had clearly noticed something amiss.
Since that's the case, he should try his best to cooperate.
He stuffed the toys his sister had temporarily entrusted to him into Chou Chou's arms, then raised his hand and pinched the wound hard.
Okay, the wound that was almost healed has reopened.
Ugly was stunned.
Tenth Brother, your hand will be healed in a day or two and you'll be able to go back to work. Does that mean you want to share a bed with me for a few more days?
The old lady was a little impatient when she was told to stop.
"The city isn't far. Don't you have a car? Hurry up and go."
"No, it's bleeding. It will take time to get back to the city. We need to stop the bleeding quickly."
"When he fell from the tree, the wound was too big and he bled a lot. If it keeps bleeding, it will dry."
"Old comrade, please, have mercy and take us to the village doctor..."
Zhou Yan: ...Brother, thank you.
After Zhang Dong's incredibly persistent and persuasive skills, the group was finally able to enter the village.
It turned out that the old lady's son was the village's barefoot doctor, who lived at the village entrance.
The so-called clinic was just a dilapidated house next to her home, which looked like an old ancestral hall.
The old lady made it clear that only Zhang Dong could help Zhou Yan inside, and the others were to wait at the village entrance and were not allowed to enter the village.
The more she resisted, the more Xie Lin felt something was wrong.
However, he conducted spatial coverage but found nothing unusual.
"Shishi, what did you see?"
“Shishi smells stench. This house smells bad. Shishi doesn’t like it.” She pointed to the clinic.
The clinic has medicine, so it must smell bad. Xie Lin reassured him, "Okay, we'll leave in a bit, just bear with it."
"But, you stinky egg, there are a lot of bones under that house, and the corpses don't like them either."
Shi Shi bit her lip, burying her face in Xie Lin's arms, looking rather downcast. "You stinky egg, hug me."
A single word jolted the person beside him awake.
He had only checked the ground and had not found any traces of a secret passage on the walls or floor, so he did not explore underground.
Suddenly he remembered the map he had found on the ship at sea.
Skeletal remains, a mirage, an experimental site.
Is that what he thinks?
He picked up the listless girl, held her in his arms, pressed her head against the crook of his neck, and whispered softly.
"Okay, okay, let's not watch anymore, let's not think about it anymore, how about we go to sleep?"
"good."
Seeing his good friend's gloomy face, Lu Fan felt that things were getting serious, but he didn't know anything about the map and was completely baffled.
Chou Chou heard what her friend said and became worried. She let go of Lu Fan's hand and grabbed Xie Lin's clothes instead.
"Brother, let's go home. Ugly wants to go home."
He didn't want to see Shishi going berserk anymore.
After scanning the ground, Xie Lin's eyes were filled with a storm, but when he heard the little child's voice, his thoughts returned to normal.
"Okay, let's go to the car first. Lu Fan, you wait for them here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dong came out arm in arm with Zhou Yan.
Since the old lady's son wasn't home, Zhang Dong had no choice but to borrow her medicine to give Zhou Yan a simple treatment.
