The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling began to sway, emitting flickering light, and the windows creaked.
Bai Rou'er panicked and tried to run away with Zhang Fan and Ran Meng, but Zhang Fan stopped her, saying, "It's just a small earthquake, don't be afraid."
Hearing this, Bai Rou'er's panicked heart calmed down temporarily.
With Zhang Fan around, she felt safe even if an earthquake occurred.
Ran Meng was still a little scared: "Why don't we go downstairs first?"
Bai Rou'er nodded: "You...go home and take a look."
In order to see her and to avoid revealing Zhang Fan's identity, she endured so many whippings.
Zhang Fan's medical skills are superb. He treated her for several days, and the whip marks are still so obvious. It's unimaginable how serious her injuries were and how much suffering she endured.
These facts are enough to show that this biological mother loves him.
Bai Rou'er wanted to try to gradually accept Ran Meng.
Ran Meng's smile stretched almost to her ears, her tone filled with deep surprise: "Okay, sure."
She planned to visit him again with generous gifts after she recovered.
When they went down, they didn't dare take the elevator; they took the stairs instead.
Bai Rou'er was wearing high heels and couldn't get down easily, so Zhang Fan squatted down and said, "Let me carry you on my back."
Seeing the two holding hands affectionately, Ran Meng's eyes were filled with immense joy.
It's unbelievable that the two are lovers. No wonder she likes Zhang Fan more and more the more she looks at him. Isn't that how a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law?
After observing him for several days, she concluded that Zhang Fan was a rare good man, and that her daughter would definitely be very happy to have found him.
They calmly went downstairs, only to see panicked people everywhere on the street. Some were frantically making phone calls, their faces filled with anxiety: "Why can't I get through?"
Bai Rou'er felt a pang of panic. Her trembling hands took out her phone to call Bai Nongrui. After several calls, she finally got through and confirmed that Bai Nongrui was safe and sound. Her heart finally settled down, but she hadn't told Bai Nongrui yet.
Bai Nongrui harbored resentment over being abandoned by her. Last time, she was about to tell the truth, but Bai Nongrui became very angry.
Bai Rou'er decided to try to persuade Bai Nongrui again.
Zhang Fan received a call from Li Jingjing: "Zhang Fan, can you find the doctor Wang who saved people last time? Zhang Tiegen is in trouble, and many people in the village are injured."
This morning, Zhang Tiegen delivered medicine for treating the plague back to the village, but then an earthquake struck. A tree fell, and a branch pierced through Zhang Tiegen's body. The villagers were too afraid to move him and could only call Zhang Fan for help.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Fan immediately asked Ji Zhi to pick up Wang Yi, while he went to the herbal medicine shop to get some hemostatic medicine, and then took Bai Rou'er's car back to Zhangjiapo.
Xiao Hei wouldn't let Li Chunyan go out today, which was unusual behavior. Zhang Fan immediately did some divination and concluded that there would be no danger, which is why he remained calm when the earthquake occurred.
Once on the road, Zhang Fan realized that things were much worse than he had imagined.
In the distance, many trees have fallen, houses have been hit by boulders, and two mountains have even merged together.
Zhang Fan frowned slightly; this earthquake was unusually large.
The road that had collapsed before hadn't been repaired yet, so Zhang Fan was driving when we crossed the wooden bridge.
Bai Rou'er sat in the passenger seat, her heart pounding. She gripped the seatbelt tightly and kept taking deep breaths to force herself to calm down.
The car had already reached the wooden bridge, and Bai Rou'er felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. The surge of adrenaline made her feel extremely excited.
The car came to a smooth stop, and Bai Rou'er felt a sense of joy at surviving a disaster. In a daze, she even had the feeling of living and dying with Zhang Fan.
Li Jingjing had been waiting for Zhang Fan. After calling him, she started a live stream to build anticipation. The moment Zhang Fan appeared in the live stream, her viewership soared to number one.
Zhang Fan's previous performance of driving across a log bridge brought her a million followers. She usually livestreams the local customs and culture of Zhangjiapo, and everyone loves her rural life. Her livestreaming income is tens of thousands of yuan every month.
Today's live stream, roughly estimated, will generate several hundred thousand in revenue.
After Zhang Fan crossed the bridge, Li Jingjing turned off the live stream and sat in the back seat.
"Brother Zhang Tiegen is under the old locust tree."
He drove straight to the village entrance, parked the car, and sped off to the old locust tree as fast as he could.
Zhang Tiegen and his wife had always treated him well, and Zhang Fan couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
When Zhang Fan reached the old locust tree, he saw Zhang Tiegen lying on a mat. A branch had pierced through his body from his stomach. His chest was heaving violently, his face was as white as paper, and blood was constantly gushing from his mouth.
Villagers gathered around: "Zhang Fan, why hasn't your senior brother returned?"
Zhang Fan did not answer. He opened his acupuncture kit to get the silver needles, but was stopped by the villagers: "Zhang Fan, let's wait for your senior brother to come. This injury is too serious."
The villagers were unaware of Zhang Fan's medical skills, but Zhang Fan was not annoyed. He simply said coldly, "I can cure him. Get out of my way."
Seeing this, Li Jingjing quickly chased away the villagers: "Make way, Zhang Fan is the apprentice of the miracle doctor, of course he can do it, don't cause trouble."
She chased everyone away, leaving only Zhang Fan and Bai Rou'er.
Zhang Fan took out silver needles to stop the bleeding and used them on acupoints to delay the pain. He then channeled spiritual energy into Zhang Tiegen's body and said, "It will hurt a little, just bear with it."
Zhang Tiegen was in so much pain that he couldn't speak; he could only blink in response.
Zhang Fan bent down, picked up Zhang Tiegen, carried him directly to the car, and drove away.
On the way to Tianci Hospital, Zhang Fan had already notified Luo Chang to arrange the surgery. Luo Chang did not come, but he arranged for a surgeon he thought was the best.
There will be a lot of residue on the branches, which must be cleaned thoroughly, otherwise leaving them in the body can easily cause infection.
Although Zhang Fan could pull out the tree branch, he was more skilled in Western medicine in surgery. He was responsible for strengthening Zhang Tiegen's body and helping him recover from excessive blood loss until the end of the surgery. Zhang Tiegen's subsequent recovery also required his care.
The surgery was a success. As Zhang Fan walked out of the operating room, Aunt Pang burst into tears.
Upon seeing Zhang Fan, she knelt down and said, "Zhang Fan, you are the savior of our family."
Zhang Fan helped her up: "Auntie Pang, you and Brother Tiegen have helped me a lot, don't say that."
He pulled Aunt Pang up and said, "Tiegen is most worried about you and the baby in your belly. You must take good care of yourself."
Aunt Pang wiped away her tears and sobbed softly, while Li Chunyan continued to comfort her.
When she heard the news, she almost fainted. She had been living in fear that the last time they met was the last time, and all the suppressed worry and despair in her heart were released at this moment.
She only managed to calm down when her stomach tightened slightly.
She's pregnant, so she needs to take care of herself.
Although the surgery was successful, the first night is still dangerous, and high fever is common.
Aunt Pang decided to stay at the hospital, with Li Chunyan accompanying her, while Zhang Fan and Bai Rou'er went back first.
Speaking of children, Zhang Fan suddenly remembered that he still needed to refine a medicine that would enable Zhao Lin to have children.
When he got back, the post office was still open. He went to ask and sure enough, there was a package for him.
