"Lu Yuanting!" Jiang Xia's voice.
Lu Yuanting, who had not responded to anyone's persuasion before, finally reacted at this time. He stopped and looked back. After seeing Jiang Xia standing in the crowd, the gloom and darkness in his eyes faded away.
He took two steps at a time and walked in front of Jiang Xia.
"Everything's okay?" Lu Yuanting asked. His voice sounded the same as usual, but one could faintly hear the nervousness and caution underneath.
"One thing, I sprained my ankle and it hurts." Jiang Xia nodded first, then quickly shook his head and rolled up the legs of his jeans. A light red color had appeared on his fair skin and his ankle was swollen.
This was not a serious injury, but it looked shocking on Jiang Xia's exceptionally fair and tender skin.
Lu Yuanting narrowed his eyes.
"Xia Xia, what happened? The neighbors said you went to the clinic. How did the clinic catch fire out of nowhere? How did you sprain your foot?" Su Zhongshu and Zhao Hexiang felt so distressed when they saw Jiang Xia sprained her foot. Zhao Hexiang was wiping her tears with a look of fear on her face.
It’s a good thing that no one is inside.
"I went to the clinic, and soon after I entered, I noticed someone watching outside the clinic." Jiang Xia looked at the appearance of Zhao Hexiang and Su Zhongshu, and was just glad that it was her who went to the clinic today, and that these things happened when she was here. Otherwise, if it was an outsider, she might not be able to run away in time.
Jiang Xia sprained one of her feet and was standing unsteadily. She subconsciously wanted to hold on to something, so she reached out and grabbed Lu Yuanting's hand.
Her hands trembled slightly, not because she disliked the pain from the calluses on Lu Yuanting's hands, but because they were cold. Lu Yuanting's hands were too cold, as if he had just died. It didn't feel at all like the warmth of a stove in the daytime.
Jiang Xia's eyelashes trembled, and she looked up at Lu Yuanting, but Lu Yuanting was standing beside her without saying anything.
"I saw someone sneaking around outside the clinic, so I became suspicious and pretended to know nothing. I went into the clinic, and then someone came in at that moment. He secretly started a fire. He also laid a lot of dry wood and hay outside the clinic, which caught fire easily." Jiang Xia said.
As he said this, Jiang Xia looked behind him.
The villagers then noticed that there was a person lying on the ground, a person familiar to everyone in the village.
It was Niu Wang, the cousin of Niu Gen who had his leg amputated today. Niu Wang was an uneducated man since childhood. He was tall and strong, and had great strength. He was a bully in the village. He would either steal chickens from the production team or climb over the wall to steal meat from other people's homes.
Every household was on guard against him. On the one hand, they took into account their neighbors in the same village, and on the other hand, Niu Wang was really so strong that no one could beat him. Seeing this young and energetic man, one could only hide and be afraid.
"Niu Wang, how dare you do such a stupid thing? Doctor Su is such a nice person. When you were a child, you almost died of fever. If it weren't for Doctor Su giving you acupuncture, you would have died long ago." The villager spoke angrily.
"Hurry, report to the police. Someone almost died today. Let the guards handle it! Bah, what a beast. Fortunately, Doctor Su didn't come to the clinic today!" Another person in the village spoke, still frightened.
Niu Wang, who was lying on the ground, had a faint cut on his forehead, obviously hit by something. There were also several needles stuck in his feet. Niu Wang frowned and moved his feet. His feet, which were numb and weak, finally recovered. He touched his forehead and stumbled to his feet.
He looked at Jiang Xia with a pair of gloomy eyes. It was obvious that he didn't expect that he would fall into Jiang Xia's trap and be knocked down. He also chased her all the way but failed to catch up with her.
