Chapter 85 First Aid
The village chief sat on the edge of the bed with his head lowered, feeling a little powerless.
The eyes that were originally bright and energetic now dimmed a lot.
It was as if all life had been lost overnight.
"Why is it suddenly so serious?"
Shen Jinan did not hesitate and began to take Chen's pulse.
The situation was not optimistic for Chen, who was already on medication due to the anger.
"It's Chen Liu..."
His voice was hoarse, and he didn't even move his eyes. "Her son is back and brought back some news."
"Heng'er died on the battlefield..."
The village chief's voice was choked and his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his life.
really……
"Don't you know who Chen Liushi is? Did you see her son? Did you hear it with your own ears?"
Shen Jinan looked at Chen, who was lying there with a dead heart.
The acupuncture continued, but the words he spoke were cold and heartless.
"A few days ago, the village chief helped to uphold justice and fined her. Maybe Chen Liu knew that my aunt was undergoing treatment and was deliberately provoking you."
"Her son has returned safely, so there's no reason why Brother Chen can't come back."
Although Shen Jinan didn't know what the situation was, she had already seen through Chen Liushi's nature.
"Really?"
Chen was barely breathing, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"No matter what, I should go and ask her in person. If she really is deliberately provoking you to get revenge, wouldn't that mean she's succeeding?"
Putting away the last silver needle, Shen Jinan's face was cold: "Even if your son really died in the battlefield, it should be the government that informed you of this news, not Chen Liu's one-sided statement."
No matter how skilled her medical skills were, she couldn't save someone who was determined to die.
Shen Jinan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Chen was determined to die, so she had to distract herself to comfort her.
At this moment, he relaxed and fell on the stool somewhat exhausted.
"Doctor Shen is right." The village chief's eyes lit up again. "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we can't give up easily. Even if the worst happens, the government will soon send a message. We've waited for so many years, so a few days won't make a difference."
Chen's eyes were filled with tears, and she said with gratitude and apology: "Doctor Shen..."
"My aunt's condition has stabilized for the time being, but her body can't withstand something like this for the second time." Shen Jinan did not hide anything and told the truth about her illness.
She didn't want the patient she had saved with so much effort to waste his life and her hard work.
If even Chen herself doesn't care about her life, what good is her medical skills?
"Yes, yes, yes!" The village chief stood up and responded repeatedly, his back unconsciously hunched, looking even older than before.
"It's so late, Doctor Shen. I'm really sorry to trouble you..." His old face was a little embarrassed. "Doctor Shen, please go back and rest."
I decided to have a good talk with the old woman and never believe anything Chen Liu said again.
He couldn't help but sigh. She couldn't stay calm when it came to anything related to Heng'er.
Even though he was angry, Shen Jinan did not forget what he should do. He took out the medicine from the medicine box, handed it to the village chief, and repeatedly reminded him: "Remember, don't get angry easily, and don't worry too much."
These twists and turns almost made all her previous efforts go to waste, so she didn't dare to take it lightly.
When Shen Jinan, exhausted both physically and mentally, returned to Gu's house, both children were already asleep.
"How is Aunt Chen?"
Seeing that she looked tired, Gu Yanqing stepped forward, took the medicine box from her hand, and placed it on the table.
He naturally took her hand, let her sit on the stool, and massaged her shoulders to relieve her fatigue.
"The disease is under control." Shen Jinan rubbed her eyebrows. Gu Yanqing's actions made her relax a lot.
Wait! Shen Jinan turned around suddenly. Was Gu Yanqing massaging her shoulders?
Her hand subconsciously reached out and held Gu Yanqing's hand. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she tilted her head to look at Gu Yanqing.
But he still acted as if it was a matter of course and looked at her with a puzzled look.
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Shen Jinan stood up with an unnatural look on his face, not daring to look at him: “I’m much better, I’ll go wash up first.”
"..." Gu Yanqing twisted his fingers, the feeling of the girl's shoulder still lingering between them, his eyes darkened.
After washing up, Shen Jinan’s face was still a little hot.
She didn't understand why he was acting so abnormally, and she was a little overwhelmed by Gu Yanqing like this.
After some inner struggle, Shen Jinan opened the door and found that Gu Yanqing was already asleep.
After closing the door, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief, took off her shoes and lay down beside Gu Yanqing.
Since the beginning of winter, it is still a bit chilly at night. The two children are sleeping in the bed next to her. She couldn't help but move closer to the source of heat in the quilt, and Gu Yanqing's arm inadvertently rested on her.
The breathing gradually became even.
In the Thirteen Villages.
"Boss, I've sent someone to deliver the message. What should we do with these people?"
Liu Fangping, who was sitting in the middle chair, did not react at all.
His eyes were elsewhere, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Lin and Shen Xitang, who were kneeling on the ground, were panicking at this moment.
After crawling forward a few steps using his hands and feet, Minister Shen said anxiously, "Sir, you must not let her go. A fickle woman like her has let down your kindness!"
Minister Shen, who was once high and mighty, now crawled at Liu Fangping's feet like a stray dog, whispering to him in a low voice.
Good intentions? Liu Fangping slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on the people below. Looking at Shen Xitang's face, which was somewhat similar to Shen Jinan, his eyes were a little fiery.
The woman was indeed stunningly beautiful. If she had not been able to cure his hidden illness, he would not have let her go no matter what he said.
During this period, he took the medicines prescribed by Shen Jinan, and his body recovered.
There was also good news for the concubine in the backyard.
Suddenly, other thoughts came to my mind.
"Sir, you kindly let her come down the mountain, but she lives with someone else at the foot of the mountain. How can you swallow this?" Seeing that his expression was somewhat relaxed, Minister Shen continued to fan the flames, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
It was all Shen Jinan's fault for forcing him to this point without considering the relationship between father and daughter. Otherwise, he would not be so heartless.
He clearly remembered that several people fled to the mountains together, wandered around in the forest for a day and a half, but did not get out of the mountains. Instead, they were caught by these bandits.
He was not very familiar with others, but he still remembered Liu Fangping's face.
At that time, he sent people down the mountain step by step.
No one believed his earnest look that there was nothing fishy going on between him and Shen Jinan.
"Then what should I do?" Liu Fangping, with a bandit-like look, played with the dagger in his hand and glanced at him. The beard on his face made him look even more ferocious.
Minister Shen trembled with fear and stammered: "Bring...bring him back!"
It would be best if I could torture Shen Jinan properly!
"It's a good idea." Liu Fangping nodded. This idea was in line with his usual style of doing things.
