"There's no fire monster. Did it run away?"
Upon hearing this, the villagers rushed over to see for themselves, and sure enough, they didn't see the fire monster.
Liu Pingkang frowned, then went inside and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
He paused for a moment before asking, "You said you woke up here, what's going on?"
Ji Minxiu said in a hoarse and slow voice, "That old woman lost her son and locked the door to burn us alive as a sacrifice. When she woke up, we were here."
"Yes, yes, sir, the old woman from the Cen family has gone mad. We saw it with our own eyes." At this moment, the villagers pulled the old woman over.
"Dead...dead..."
The old woman, who had been clapping her hands somewhat erratically, suddenly stared wide-eyed at Ji Minxiu, excitedly about to pounce on him, "You're not dead... How could you not be dead... You should have been burned to death!"
The villagers quickly grabbed her and said to the postmaster, "Look, she herself has admitted it. We don't know why the two female doctors are here."
"I... I think it's possible that the fire monster saved them."
At this moment, a villager whispered, "I saw the fire monster carrying something very big into this room. Now that I think about it, it was very likely the female doctor and Miss Biao."
"Yes, yes, that fire monster is huge! It looks over ten feet tall, and it could easily carry two people!"
"Yes, I saw it too. That fire monster was indeed very big. It was completely unafraid of fire and could walk as fast as it could while walking through the flames!"
"It must be because the good deeds of Healer Yun and Miss Biao are rewarded that Heaven sent the Fire Monster... no, the Fire God to save them!"
"Yes, yes, it must be Vulcan!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the villagers all chimed in with agreement.
Hearing the villagers' words, Ji Minxiu's lips twitched involuntarily behind his mask. This was getting more and more outrageous. This was how rumors spread!
Liu Pingkang, on the other hand, didn't really believe it. He was always fearless and didn't believe in such things at all.
However, with so many villagers coming forward to testify, he had no choice but to believe it.
Seeing that Yun Zhourong's eyes were closed, he asked anxiously, "How is Doctor Yun now?"
"She's just unconscious, there's no danger," Ji Minxiu said truthfully, though he frowned slightly.
"It's good that you're alright. Take Physician Yun back to rest first. The medicine for the patients at the post station has run out, and you'll need to go back and replace it."
Liu Pingkang breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes suddenly turned cold. "As for this crazy woman, if she wants to die, I will grant her wish."
"good."
Ji Minxiu simply nodded calmly, then carried Yun Zhourong away.
That old woman wanted to kill them; she deserved to die and was not worthy of sympathy.
Looking at his broad back, Liu Pingkang frowned slightly, feeling that his cousin was too burly and didn't seem like a woman at all.
However, considering that the other party ate and lived with Yun Zhourong every day, it wouldn't make sense if she weren't a woman, so he withdrew his thoughts and looked at the old woman.
"What...what do you want to do..."
That cold gaze made the old woman back away in fear.
The thought of suicide was a momentary emotion, but now that she has calmed down and witnessed the devastation of the fire, she has begun to fear death.
"Of course, I'll take you to see your son!"
Liu Pingkang sneered and grabbed the old woman by the hair, dragging her outside.
"Help! Help!" The old woman guessed what he was going to do and immediately began to struggle desperately in terror.
Unfortunately, no one helped her.
Soon, the old woman was thrown into the fire.
"ah!"
Heart-wrenching screams soon erupted from the fire.
The house was mostly burned down, and the ground was covered with scorching hot coals. As soon as the old woman went inside, her feet were burned and white smoke rose from them.
She instinctively tried to run outside, but the courier guarding the outside poked her back with a wooden stick.
Not long after, the old woman was burned alive in extreme agony.
This scene terrified the villagers watching, sending chills down their spines.
That's incredibly ruthless!
At this moment, Liu Pingkang turned to the other villagers, his eyes as cold as a hawk's, and said, "Yun the Doctor is my savior, and I protect her. Anyone who dares to disrespect her or have bad intentions towards her will suffer the consequences!"
"No... I wouldn't dare, I absolutely wouldn't dare!" The villagers all shook their heads in fear.
"That's good."
Taking in the villagers' reactions, Liu Pingkang snorted coldly and left with the courier.
Meanwhile, on Yun Zhourong's side, Ji Minxiu placed her on the bed and looked at her dirty little face and some of her burnt hair. He was initially angry, but then his anger turned into uncontrollable heartache.
She must have been terrified before she fell into a coma.
Afterwards, he personally wiped her face and hands, holding her hand and watching over her the whole time.
The people from the second branch of the family also came, but Ji Minxiu persuaded them to leave.
Before leaving, I repeatedly reminded them to call them if they needed anything.
"Miss, you and Doctor Yun have such a good relationship."
At this moment, Da Niu Niang brought over a bowl of thin porridge. "You haven't eaten all day. Drink some so you'll have the strength to continue taking care of Doctor Yun."
Thank you.
Ji Minxiu didn't actually have an appetite, but he still politely accepted it.
Seeing that he didn't drink it but just put it aside, Da Niu's mother didn't say anything more. She glanced at Yun Zhourong with concern and then went back to take care of Da Niu.
Since coming here and receiving an IV drip, Da Niu's condition has stabilized, which has put her at ease.
Yun Zhourong slept until evening before slowly waking up.
