Chapter 301 How could Ah Nuan be an insect?
Dean Yue wiped the blood from his face, looked at Jiang Nuanzhi and the old man with a blank expression, and then grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Hey, what brings you here?"
At that time, the night was deep. Dean Yue's gray-blue robe was covered in mud, and his chest and sleeves were soaked with blood. A dim oil lamp flickered at his feet...
At the other end of the oil lamp was a richly dressed woman whose face was obscured. She lay there, her fate unknown. It must be said that the scene was quite eerie; even the old man couldn't help but shudder.
"No, you're now harming innocent young girls without even hiding it from anyone, aren't you?"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Anuan, stand back a bit. I'm going to teach this scum a lesson today! I told you, he didn't look like a good person!"
Having said that, he began to rub his hands together in anticipation.
Jiang Nuanzhi, standing behind him, said with considerable concern, "Grandpa, please be careful!"
Dean Yue became increasingly suspicious. Seeing the old man raising his fist and heading straight for him, he widened his eyes in disbelief: "Hey, hey, hey? Wait a minute, what are you talking about!"
The next second, his mind went blank as he heard Jiang Nuanzhi and the other girl's words. He practically leaped several steps away from the girl, pointed at the person on the ground, his face flushed, his hands trembling. After a long pause, he finally said, "This person! I rescued her from the big crater in the mountain! Who am I? I'm the Dean of Panshi Academy! My reputation is impeccable! Don't talk nonsense! What harm to innocent girls? Absolutely not! I rescued her! I rescued her!"
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He roared at the two people standing there dumbfounded, "Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda! Don't you two understand?!"
The old man and Jiang Nuanzhi looked at each other, but their eyes still held a hint of distrust.
Dean Yue's eyes widened: "You! Why are you two looking at me like that!"
Jiang Nuanzhi asked suspiciously, "Why are you covered in blood? And why did you bring a sick person to the new house instead of coming to me?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, when you came in just now, you were standing so close to that girl!"
"I was checking if she was dead!" The dean paced around anxiously for a while, then looked at the bloodstains on his chest. "Her arm was injured! I carried her back, and that's how I got covered in blood!"
Dean Yue was anxious and wanted to push the girl, but he immediately pulled his hand back before touching her. He circled around, picked up a stick, and poked the girl's clothes: "Hey! Wake up! Explain yourself! Wasn't it me who saved you from the pit just now!"
The girl didn't respond, so Dean Yue anxiously went to Jiang Nuanzhi: "Dr. Jiang, hurry up and save her! Once she wakes up, she can explain to me! Really! I saved her."
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the girl, then frowned and looked at Dean Yue: "I don't understand, why didn't you bring the injured person directly to me? Why did you come to this new house?" It really makes one suspicious.
Dean Yue's eyes widened as he said, "I was just thinking of bringing back crabs! And then I'd take her to your house, right?"
Jiang Nuanzhi looked over suspiciously: "Sending crabs?"
Dean Yue clapped his hands: "You wait here." As he spoke, he turned around and went behind the high wall of the new house, carrying out two large baskets on his back. "Look, I'm going to catch crabs."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked somewhat puzzled: "Good heavens, so you weren't satisfied with catching crabs all day, and now you're out catching crabs again late at night?"
Dean Yue's face flushed slightly, and he cleared his throat. "Well, isn't this a way to make some money? There are an unusually large number of crabs this year, and I never expected them to fetch such a good price."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
"You should have said so earlier."
Without saying a word, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and went forward to check on the injured person.
The old man squinted at Dean Yue: "Why didn't you call Ping'er and the others to catch the crabs yourself?"
Dean Yue looked at the old man, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. The next second, he immediately puffed out his chest and said, "It's so dark, isn't it abnormal not to call the child?"
The old man narrowed his eyes, then put his hands on his hips and said, "Anuan, he's definitely not a good person. He hid the crabs here, he's just planning to come to our house and have another crab feast on an empty stomach!"
He even suspected that this kid had tricked Ping'er and the others into going home, and then went to the river to catch all the crabs!
Upon hearing this, Dean Yue's face flushed red and then darkened in turns, and he carefully observed Jiang Nuanzhi's expression.
Jiang Nuanzhi noticed the look in Dean Yue's eyes. She was taking his pulse, but she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. She said, "Dean Yue has a large family to support, so it's understandable that he needs to earn some money. Besides, Dean Yue works very hard catching crabs at night to earn money. Uncle Jing, please don't say that."
As she spoke, she pointed to the food box next to her: "If the Dean is hungry, you can have a bite to eat first. I brought you some crab and some corn, which are still warm."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Wash your hands before you eat."
Dean Yue's eyes welled up with tears, and he bowed deeply to Jiang Nuanzhi, saying, "Dr. Jiang, you are like a living Guanyin Bodhisattva. No, you are like a mind reader! No one in this world can understand my feelings better than you. It is truly my great fortune to have such a close friend in this life."
As he spoke, he wiped the mud-covered corners of his eyes with his clothes.
Then, she looked at the old man beside her and glared at him resentfully: "Unlike others! They don't understand me at all!" After saying that, she happily hugged the food box, looking blissful.
"What kind of stinky fart did you let out? How could Ah Nuan be a bug?"
The old man flew into a rage upon hearing this.
While treating the wound, Jiang Nuanzhi gave the old man a thumbs up.
The next second, the old man puffed out his chest and said fiercely, "Even if it's a bug, it's still the bug in my belly!"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
Thank you all, but I have no intention of being a bug, so I'll politely decline.
Dean Yue had already opened the food box. On the corn husks on top were steamed corn pancakes. He couldn't help but wipe his hands on his chest. Not quite clean, he wiped them on his pants, then reached down and picked up a corn husk from under the pancake, dragging it to his mouth. Then, his eyes widened instantly.
"It smells so good, it's intoxicating! My goodness, I never knew today that jade grains were so delicious!"
The old man rolled his eyes: "Eat carefully, don't choke! Then I, Ah Nuan, will have to save you."
