Chapter 13 Disfigurement
Jiang Chen walked to Ye Rou's side. Her hand with the needle in it was outside. He touched it and it felt cold.
He hooked a chair and sat down, supporting his chin lazily, his slender hand pressing on the back of Ye Rou's hand.
Ye Rou was stunned and stared at him blankly.
He asked, "Do you regret jumping down to save people?"
Ye Rou turned her head to look at him, and when she heard his words, she shook her head slightly, "What if it's true?"
Jiang Chen smiled, a little warmer than usual, "How stupid."
"Jiang boy, don't teach the little girl bad things."
Old Wang’s voice rang out.
Jiang Chen lifted the curtain next to him and saw the old man inside. He raised his chin slightly as a greeting, "Why are you in the clinic?"
Wang Guoping shook the book in his hand and said, "The light here is good."
He glanced at the little girl in the bed next to him. She was as thin as a piece of dead wood, and her eyes were exceptionally clear.
This is a good girl.
Afraid that Jiang Chen would corrupt the little girl with his twisted theories again, Mr. Wang stopped reading and pulled Jiang Chen to chat with him.
——
Ye Rou finished the infusion and said, "Doctor Liu, I feel better now."
Doctor Liu removed the needle from her. Ye Rou asked anxiously, "How much?"
She had no money and her voice sounded a little nervous.
Jiang Chen suddenly said, "Go ahead. I'll give the money to Doctor Liu."
Ye Rou was stunned, "Why?"
Jiang Chen turned around and smiled lazily, "As payment for the chicken."
Ye Rou disagreed, saying that the chicken was caught by Jiang Chen, and she just cooked a meal that was not worth anything.
Jiang Chen said casually: "Then make chicken for me again."
Ye Rou looked at Jiang Chen and her emotions suddenly calmed down. Knowing that he acted in a domineering manner and only followed his own will, she no longer refused and said seriously, "Thank you."
Doctor Liu came over and removed the needle from her, and said, "Don't catch a cold these next two days."
In the book, Dr. Liu committed suicide by hanging.
Medicines in the clinic were stolen, and he was accused of embezzlement. There were too many rumors in the village, and Dr. Liu could not explain himself clearly. The next day, he was found hanged in the clinic.
"Thank you." Ye Rou got out of bed, still feeling a little dizzy.
After she left, Jiang Chen turned around and glanced at the empty single bed.
Elder Wang and Doctor Liu looked at each other and said with a smile, "Do you like that girl?"
Jiang Chen said lazily: "Her fragrance can calm me down."
Old Wang just thought that Jiang Chen liked to deny it and that the young man was just being stubborn.
He admired this girl very much. She remained calm in the face of danger and did not let the two women lead her astray. She was organized and calm from beginning to end. She was a little dark, but she was a good kid.
——
Ye Wen was sweeping the yard. Seeing Ye Rou coming back, he threw the broom in front of Ye Rou and said, "You come and sweep the floor."
Ye Rou kicked the broom away and walked straight towards the house.
Ye Wen grabbed her and said dissatisfiedly: "I asked you to sweep the yard!"
Ye Rou shook Ye Wen off, "I won't sweep."
"If you don't sweep the floor, grandma will definitely scold you when she comes back." Ye Wen brought up Zhao Xiulan to scare Ye Rou.
Ye Rou snorted coldly, "Whatever."
She was in a terrible mood and didn't want to waste time talking to Ye Wen, so she pushed her away and went back to the house.
Ye Wen stared at Ye Rou's back in amazement. She wasn't even afraid of her grandmother!
Ye Wen was fighting and cursing in the yard, but Ye Rou pretended not to hear him. She opened the system and found that she had another chance to win the lottery.
Thinking of the embarrassment of not being able to pay, Ye Rou sincerely prayed that she could exchange some daily necessities, even if she couldn't use them, she could still exchange them for money.
According to the system's probability calculation, the probability of drawing pink is 40%, the probability of drawing green is 24%, and the probability of drawing the other three is 12%.
She muttered and prayed, "Not pink, white."
The black pointer spun wildly, and under Ye Rou's expectant gaze, it once again landed on the pink [Ice Skin and Jade Bones]!
She moved stiffly and slowly turned her head to look at the mirror.
Ye Rou in the mirror had flawless, fair skin, like white jade, and her fox eyes were charming and alluring.
Although her appearance was somewhat inferior to that of her previous life, in this era where everyone was dark, thin and skinny, Ye Rou's appearance was already that of a great beauty.
The Ye family is determined to marry Ye Rou off and find a job for Ye Yaozu. Her current appearance will definitely bring her trouble!
How can this face be hidden?
She would definitely be discovered tomorrow when she sat at the dinner table. How would she explain her change?
No, this can't go on.
Ye Rou was so anxious that she was pacing around the room.
Is there any reason to cover your face without arousing suspicion?
She jumped out of the window, squatted by the side of the road, looked around, picked a bunch of flowers, covered her nose and breathed a sigh of relief.
——
The next morning, Zhao Xiulan saw that Ye Rou did not get up to light the fire, and she was so angry that she immediately went to bang on the door.
"Lazy guy, it's already so late and you haven't gotten up yet, hurry up and get up!!"
"It's getting more and more out of shape!"
After the second hit, the door opened. Seeing Ye Rou's appearance, Zhao Xiulan's face suddenly changed, "What's wrong with your face?"
Ye Wen, Ye Yaozu and Ye Hai ran out and were shocked to see Ye Rou.
Zhang Lan walked in from outside and screamed when she saw Ye Rou's face.
Ye Rou's face was red and swollen, as if she had been splashed with hot water.
Not only the face, but also the arms, neck... the exposed skin is also very red and covered with small red spots.
Ye Rou said aggrievedly: "I don't know what happened. I was like this when I woke up this morning."
Ye Hai slapped his thigh and said, "Hurry and take her to the clinic."
Zhao Xiulan hates spending money, but she also knows that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. Ye Rou is not married yet, so her face cannot be ruined.
The village is too small, and the whole village will know about any little movement in other families.
Zhang Lan's scream attracted the neighbors, who ran into her as soon as they went out. When they saw Ye Rou's appearance clearly, they were also shocked.
"What's wrong with this kid's face?"
Zhao Xiulan said in a panic: "I'm sick."
After saying that, he pulled Ye Rou away.
As the saying goes, the more you fear something, the more it will come to you.
Zhao Xiulan wanted to avoid people, but she met more and more people on the road.
Ye Rou tilted her head up so everyone could see her face.
As soon as Zhao Xiulan brought Ye Rou into the clinic, the news that Ye Rou's face was ruined spread throughout the village.
When Wang Qian's mother heard this, she smiled and said it was retribution, but no one around paid any attention to her.
"Hurry up and take a look at my granddaughter. What's wrong with her face?"
Zhao Xiulan dragged Ye Rou into the clinic and couldn't wait to ask Dr. Liu when she saw him.
Seeing the little girl who was fine yesterday turned into this state today, Doctor Liu hurried over and carefully examined Ye Rou's face. He said firmly, "It's an allergy. It's not serious. Just take some medicine."
Zhao Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Rou pretended to be dumb and asked, "Doctor, what is an allergy?"
Dr. Liu explained, "Something that others can touch, but you can't touch. If you touch it, this will happen."
Zhao Xiulan disliked Ye Rou's current face. She thought that the girl was ugly to begin with, and now this pig-headed look was even more disgusting. When she heard that Ye Rou was allergic to something, she asked, "Does that mean even if it's cured, will it still look like this in the future?"
"That's right." Doctor Liu applied ointment to Ye Rou and asked, "Have you touched anything recently?"
Ye Rou shook her head and pretended to be dumb, "No, it's just my usual work, nothing special."
She climbed over the wall to look for flowers last night, delayed Zhao Xiulan's wake-up time, and rubbed the pollen on her face to let everyone know that she was allergic.
Now she had a legitimate reason to cover her face and avoid this period of time.
Zhao Xiulan took Ye Rou home, and many people came to see Ye Rou along the way.
She had green blagi ointment on her face, and her skin was red from allergies, making her look incredibly ugly.
"What's wrong with this girl's face?"
"Disfigured."
"Ah? This girl is already ugly. How can she still look good after being disfigured?"
Zhao Xiulan quickly explained: "It's not ruined. Doctor Liu said she is allergic and it will be fine after taking some medicine."
"What is an allergy?"
Zhao Xiulan couldn't explain it clearly, so she simply said, "I'm sick, I'll be fine in a few days."
From then on, Ye Rou wore the mask she had sewn herself. The villagers knew that her face was not in good condition and did not suspect anything.
