Lin Ye stayed with Guo Yuanhua until early the next morning, and the two of them spent the whole night discussing Su Man's route to the free clinic.
Finally, it was decided to have someone start searching along this line.
After the discussion, Lin Ye took the sleepy Xie Jing out.
Before leaving, he did not forget to give the two of them some instructions.
"Li Genshen has someone monitoring me. He still doesn't know that the body isn't my wife. For my wife's safety, please refrain from contacting me."
"If there's anything, I'll find a way to find you."
The two nodded, and Xie Jing was really angry.
"I've never seen a father like this, always scheming against his own family."
"Humph, I'm going to write a report criticizing him, criticizing him severely..."
Lin Ye sent Xie Jing home first, washed his face with cold water, and started to get busy again.
He did not return to the courtyard, but turned around and rented a house outside the Gu family compound.
This makes it convenient to monitor Li Genshen's movements at any time.
As for the telephone line at home, it has been monitored by Li Genshen and cannot be used.
He installed a new telephone line and from that day on, he would live here.
Lin Ye placed the photo of Su Man he brought from home on the table and wiped her face with a smile.
"Wait, your husband will be able to take you home soon."
——————————————
Two months later, the mountain road out of Xixian Village was finally cleared.
Early in the morning, Yun Dashu's wife Zhu Jiumei woke Su Man up.
I cooked her a brown sugar poached egg and asked her to get up and eat something first.
"Doctor Su! The mountain road is open now. Aren't you going to town to mail a letter?"
"Later, just take your uncle Dashu's ox cart and go out."
"See if there's anything else you want to buy, and buy them all together."
"If it's really not available, wait until we send a message to Yuncai and ask him to bring it back."
"This flood is so severe that everywhere is flooded."
"I heard the only telephone line in town is down, and I don't know when it will be repaired."
After washing up, Su Man walked to the kitchen, picked up the fried egg and took a bite.
"I don't think there's anything I want to buy, but there are a lot of people injured in the village this time, so I need someone to get some medicine."
"By the way, epidemics usually break out after floods, so we need to prepare some medicine to prevent them."
It was also her bad luck that it started raining heavily as soon as she arrived in Xi County.
Just two days after arriving in the village, the mountain road was destroyed by a mudslide.
There is limited labor in the village and the heavy rain has not stopped.
It took a long time to repair and renovate a mountain road.
She herself was fine, but she was worried that the school and Lin Ye would be worried.
After all, we haven't been in touch for so long. However, the government here should have notified them, right?
After eating the fried eggs, Su Man still felt hungry.
She pursed her lips sheepishly, her eyes darting around.
Zhu Jiumei couldn't help laughing when she turned around and saw Su Man like this.
He quickly grabbed a few steamed buns from the pot and handed them to Su Man.
"That's what it's like to be pregnant. You can never have enough to eat."
"Even here we don't have anything nutritious. All the chickens in the village were drowned. There are only two left."
"I'll go to town and ask for you later and buy some eggs."
"You're already over five months old. You can't lack nutrition."
Su Man took a bite of the steamed bun. Although it was dry and choking, it was the best thing Uncle Dashu's family could offer.
She finished her meal in a few bites and waved her hand.
"Auntie, I'm going to go get some medicine for the villagers first. If Uncle Dashu comes back, ask him to wait for me for a while."
Many people were injured in the mudslide, and all the medicine Su Man brought was used up.
Fortunately, she had studied Chinese medicine with Teacher Guo and knew some basic Chinese medicinal materials.
We could find quite a few on the mountain, and we were able to successfully get through this crisis.
After changing the medicine for the villagers, Su Man and Yun Dashu went to the town together.
It is called a town, but in fact it is just a village with a few people in a remote mountain area.
There is only one mountain road in and out, which was washed away by floods.
But at least it's better than the village, so Su Man handed the letter to the postman.
I asked approximately when the letter could be sent to the capital.
The postman smiled bitterly and pointed to the two sacks of letters at the back, then pointed to the muddy road.
"I don't know yet! Comrade, it's not that I don't want to send the letter out, I just have no choice."
No one has an easy time under this kind of natural disaster, Su Man sighed.
I went for a walk in the town, got some medicine from the town hospital, and bought some food.
I spent a lot of money and got a bottle of malted milk and a bottle of milk powder.
I don’t know how long I will be trapped here, and the baby in my belly needs nutrition.
She can't always rely on Uncle Dashu's family to subsidize her.
Then she went to buy some candies and cakes, intending to share them with the children and aunt in the village.
After buying things, she got on Yun Dashu’s ox cart and returned to the village.
I don’t know if it’s because the mountain road is too rugged, but the road is so bumpy.
When I got home at night, my stomach hurt a little.
She was the only doctor in the village, and she couldn't rely on anyone else, so she had to check it out herself.
Fortunately, there was no bleeding.
Su Man was shocked and decided to go out as little as possible in the future.
I stayed up all night in a daze until dawn, and then I heard the voices of Yun Dashu and Zhu Jiumei talking outside.
"Doctor Su is already showing her pregnancy, and it's uncomfortable for her to even wander around the village. Why are you still letting her go up the mountain? Who will be held responsible if something happens?"
Zhu Jiumei is a woman herself, so she knows how difficult it is for a woman to be pregnant.
Yun Dashu looked worried and took a puff of his pipe.
