Chapter 37 The Shadow Comes Again
After Jiang Chen left, Ye Rou took a kerosene lamp, moved a chopping board and a kitchen knife, and started to sort the bamboo shoots and mushrooms in the yard, hoping that they would last longer.
"Bang!" The sound of the iron door being smashed was like thunder.
Ye Rou stood up suddenly and stared at the door, where a thin black shadow stood.
She bravely asked, "Who are you?"
The shadow didn't answer, but slammed and kicked the door again.
Ye Rou picked up the kitchen knife that was placed aside, pointed it at her chest and shouted, "I'm warning you, don't come here again!"
"Bang!"
The black shadow smashed down the iron gate again.
Ye Rou walked over bravely, and the black shadow suddenly ran away.
She didn't dare stay in the yard, so she packed up her things and went back to her room.
In the dark night, she shivered and hid under the lamp.
The iron door made a sound again.
Ye Rou looked back in fear and saw a tall figure walking out of the darkness.
Jiang Chen looked at Ye Rou. Her face was pale and her eyes were filled with tears of fear.
"The shadow is here again."
Jiang Chen's expression instantly turned cold. A hint of a smile still hung at the corners of his eyes and lips, but a chill still seeped out, sending chills down one's spine.
——
Ye Wen gritted his teeth in hatred when he thought of Ye Rou's face, because that bitch, Brother Wen actually talked about her all the way!
Damn bitch, why hasn’t that lunatic hacked her to death yet!
She returned home and found her whole family there.
Ye Yaozu's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was heavy, and he shouted at Zhao Xiulan, "It's all your fault, you keep delaying! If you had 300 yuan, that job would be mine!"
Zhao Xiulan looked annoyed. She hadn't expected that the shortfall was just that hundred dollars.
Zhang Lan and Ye Hai looked at Zhao Xiulan with resentment in their eyes.
Ye Wen thought of Ye Rou's face and said harshly, "You have all been deceived by Ye Rou!"
Zhang Lan looked at Ye Wen, "What's going on?"
"Her face isn't ruined at all. She's incredibly beautiful now. She wore that mask before just to deceive our family. She's still working at the clinic, earning only five work points a day!"
"Five work points?" Zhao Xiulan stood up. A man like Ye Hai could only earn eight work points after working in the fields for a whole day.
"No, we must get Ye girl back."
Zhang Lan touched her belly. She firmly believed that Ye Rou was the unlucky star and that her return would definitely bring disaster to their whole family.
She said softly, "Ye girl definitely doesn't want to come back."
Zhao Xiulan glared at Zhang Lan, "It's all your fault. You insisted on promising Xiaorou to a fool!"
Damn old woman, when she first asked me to do it, I agreed without any hesitation, but now I blame her.
Zhang Lan tried her best to keep smiling. "Mom, now is not the time to argue about this. Ye has become beautiful and is working at the clinic. Isn't she still unmarried?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.
After a while, Zhao Xiulan said in disbelief: "Ye Rou is Jiang Chen's person, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Lan sneered, "What's the matter? It's already been done. Which man can accept a woman cheating on him?"
"You mean catching someone cheating?" Ye Wen's tone hinted at excitement.
Zhao Xiulan and Ye Hai were a little hesitant.
Ye Yaozu's breathing became heavier. In fact, he didn't have any job in the town at all. He lost in gambling and owed a large sum of money outside. The interest had already made it a sky-high price.
Thinking of the man who lent him the money, Ye Yaozu suddenly said, "I know a big brother who is very rich."
The room fell silent, everyone having their own agenda.
——
Ye Rou woke up in the morning and made wontons for Jiang Chen as she had promised yesterday. She changed the filling to corn, bamboo shoots and pork.
Jiang Chen's hair was a mess when he woke up in the morning.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. He was wearing a white shirt with all the buttons undone, revealing his strong abdominal muscles and his wheat-colored skin was firm and powerful.
Ye Rou protested, but Jiang Chen didn't listen.
She stared at the bowl and finished her meal with a red face.
Jiang Chen stayed in the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Ye Rou returned to her room and took out a cloth bag. She had made this bag by piecing together various scraps of cloth. Its shape was very similar to the canvas bags of later generations, with wider shoulder straps and a larger capacity.
Jiang Chen came out after washing the dishes, blocking Ye Rou's way out.
When Ye Rou glared at him, he turned his head and looked at the sky and the ground, but not at Ye Rou.
"..." So childish.
Ye Rou grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and said softly, "The soybean seeds I bought the day before yesterday have been soaked. Can you plant them in the yard?"
Jiang Chen found that Ye Rou was becoming more and more daring. She didn't listen to him and insisted on going to the clinic. Now she even dared to order him to do things!
Ye Rou shook Jiang Chen's hand and said, "I'll come back at noon and make you something delicious."
Jiang Chen looked down at Ye Rou. She tilted her face up, her cheeks were white and tender with a pink cloud, and her eyes were curved, making her look more like a little fox.
"Um."
Ye Rou smiled in surprise, "You agree?"
Jiang Chen snorted coldly.
Ye Rou threw herself into Jiang Chen's arms and rubbed her head against his chest.
Her movements were like those of a child. Jiang Chen smiled and reached out to hug Ye Rou's waist.
Ye Rou pushed him away.
Not being able to hug him again, Jiang Chen took a deep breath, his cheeks bulging with anger.
“When planting soybeans, you should put more beans in one hole to ensure the survival rate.”
After she finished speaking, she rushed out the door in a hurry.
Jiang Chen grabbed her waist and pulled her back.
Ye Rou's eyes widened. "Didn't you agree?"
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Chen hugged her tightly, his arms around her waist, which made her feel a little painful.
Ye Rou didn't care about the pain, she was already stunned.
Jiang Chen took the initiative to hug her!
Her hands were suspended in the air, and when she was tentatively trying to hug Jiang Chen's waist, Jiang Chen pushed her away.
"You can go now."
“…” Ye Rou’s cheeks puffed up with anger and she glared at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't understand.
Fool!
——
Ye Rou arrived at the clinic and saw Dr. Liu giving an acupuncture to a patient.
An old man was lying on the hospital bed, his upper body naked and covered with silver needles.
Ye Rou leaned over to take a look. The old man's back was covered with blisters, some of which were very dark in color, almost purple.
"Ye girl is here!" Doctor Liu called her over and explained to her, "The blisters are caused by the accumulation of heat in the body that can't be released. These acupoints can relieve and detoxify it."
Doctor Liu gave the injections while talking, his technique was very skillful.
Ye Rou studied Western medicine in her previous life. She originally wanted to study Chinese medicine, but when she saw her senior brothers and sisters who studied Chinese medicine using silver needles to prick her arms, she became scared.
After living a new life, she drew the [Medical Skills] skill, which covered all the lifelong learning of Chinese medicine from ancient times to the present. The more she read the knowledge, the more fascinated she became.
She was determined to learn Chinese medicine and promote it.
Ye Rou listened carefully to Dr. Liu's explanation of the acupoints.
Doctor Liu suddenly had an idea and handed a silver needle to Ye Rou, "Would you like to try it?"
Before Ye Rou could say anything, the old man lying on the bed got angry.
Old man Wang has a bad temper and always feels like there is a fire in his chest that he can't relieve.
He had these blisters on his back that hurt when touched, so he had to sleep on his stomach.
Unable to bear the pain, he came to see Dr. Liu. After a few injections, he felt like a nail stuck in an inflated tire.
My throat is no longer blocked and my nose no longer feels like it’s about to spit fire.
But he trusted Doctor Liu. It was impossible for a little girl to use him to practice acupuncture!
Doctor Liu asked him, "Brother Wang, how long has your wife's illness lasted?"
Old man Wang remained silent. His wife had the same disease as him, but he could still come to Dr. Liu for acupuncture and relief, but his wife couldn't.
"Ye girl is a girl. If she learns medical skills, your wife's illness can be cured."
Dr. Liu studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and is best at acupuncture.
Two years ago, a girl caught a cold. The medicine and intravenous drips were ineffective. He suggested giving her acupuncture, but the girl disagreed, and neither did her family.
Doctor Liu suggested sending the girl to a big hospital, but the girl was unwilling to go because it was too troublesome.
After repeated delays, the girl was finally burned to death.
In his eyes, both men and women are patients, but for the villagers, they cannot accept being naked and receiving acupuncture by a man.
This is also the reason why he wants to take in Ye Yatou. She is smart and careful, and she is not afraid of seeing blood. As long as he takes her away, the girls and women in the village will not have to worry about him being a man and refusing to see a doctor.
Thinking of his wife who cried in pain at night, Old Man Wang lowered his head and said, "Girl Ye, you can get the acupuncture!"
Doctor Liu looked at Ye Rou encouragingly.
Ye Rou picked up the silver needle, her eyes calm. The knowledge and experience of countless predecessors gathered in her mind, and her hand was extremely steady as she placed the first needle.
"Not bad." Doctor Liu now felt like he had met a treasure when he looked at Ye Rou.
This girl is born to be a doctor!
"Is the injection finished?" Old man Wang didn't feel anything.
Doctor Liu smiled and said, "Brother, bring your wife here this afternoon. Miss Ye will be fine."
"Okay!" Old man Wang smiled excitedly.
After Ye Rou finished the remaining acupuncture needles, the old man Wang's anger subsided and he fell asleep with his head tilted.
