"Okay, don't be afraid."
The two people walked hand in hand toward the haunted house.
Upon entering, there was a large skull, and the word "Entrance" was written on the right. The two of them went in from there.
First, there was a pitch-black corridor with words written in fluorescent powder: "You've come too!" "Hahaha..." There were also some skull hands, creating a rather scary atmosphere.
Xiao Li felt Ran Wenjing's hand tremble slightly. She smiled gently, which startled Ran Wenjing.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm a little scared."
...
You've only just come in, sister.
"Don't be afraid, we're all in this together."
"Okay, you'd better hold on tight to me."
"OK."
Passing through the corridor, there was a small room with flashing lights. A doll dressed in a white shirt and red skirt with long hair stood up. Her face was covered in powder, and when the lights flashed, her face turned pale.
"ah……"
Ran Wenjing gripped Xiao Li's arm tightly, practically sticking to her.
Xiao Li patted her hand reassuringly.
"Don't be afraid, it's fake."
The two continued walking forward, and a skull door with a gaping mouth appeared. They cautiously passed through it, and suddenly a furry thing fell down on their heads.
Ran Wenjing screamed again.
"Xiaoxiao, run!"
She grabbed Xiaoli and ran. They went through another corridor and entered a room that was pitch black.
Only the green arrows indicate the direction of the safety exit.
The two dared not utter a sound and moved slowly.
Suddenly, a skeleton appeared out of thin air and walked towards the two of them, accompanied by a strange, chuckling sound.
Ran Wenjing yelled and pulled Xiaoli toward the door. She tripped over something and stumbled, and the two let go of each other's hands.
"careful."
Xiao Li rushed to help her, but to her surprise, Ran Wenjing actually ran away with the skeleton.
Xiao Li was left dumbfounded. Would Ran Wenjing be scared to death in a moment?
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to linger and quickly took off after him.
Just then, she felt a touch on her shoulder. Without thinking, Xiaoli grabbed the object, twisted her body, and threw it to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Ouch! My back."
Xiao Li then realized that it was a boy who had probably fallen somewhere and hurt his back.
"Are you alright? I need to go catch up with my friend. Can you get up by yourself?"
"I...I can't, I can't get up. Could you please help me up?"
Don't worry about your friend, the houses in front are lit, it won't be so dark anymore.
Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, but decided to stay.
The boy, holding onto Xiaoli's arm, slowly stood up. Xiaoli touched the injured area with her hand; it seemed to be swollen, possibly with some bruising.
The boy groaned, "Hiss~ I can't move, it hurts to walk. Could you please help me out of here? There's a room in the back, I'll go there to rest for a bit."
He pointed to a wall, which should be an emergency exit.
Xiao Li was a little worried about Ran Wenjing. "Let me call my friend first."
The boy nodded, stood still and waited, taking the opportunity to remove the props from his body.
"Beep beep beep..."
"Xiaoxiao, where are you? Waaaaah, I lost you. I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to."
Xiao Li was both amused and exasperated.
"Wenjing, are you sure you can manage on your own? If you're scared, find some staff and ask them to take you out. I have something to do here, we'll meet up outside later."
Ran Wenjing quickly agreed, "Okay, I'm going out now. It's too scary here. See you later."
"Okay, see you later."
Xiao Li put away her phone and helped the boy walk towards the outside of the wall.
Once outside, Xiaoli realized that the boy was actually quite young, about the same age as her.
Are you alright? Do you need any help?
Xie Qing then realized that it was a beautiful girl, and his face flushed red. He had actually been thrown by a soft-spoken girl.
"Thank you! There's a first-aid kit over there, could you please bring it over for me?"
He pointed to a cabinet in the corner.
Xiao Li walked over, opened the package, and took out a bottle of safflower oil. The other bandages and alcohol were not very useful.
Thinking about the bump she had just touched, she figured it must be bleeding. She thought for a moment, then reached into her small bag and pulled out a box of silver needles.
"I'm a medical student, I can take a look at you. You seem to have an acute lumbar injury. I can give you a few acupuncture treatments, which should relieve the pain."
Xie Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and let Xiao Li help him to the ground to lie down.
Xiao Li lifted his clothes; the bulge wasn't big, so the bleeding should have stopped. Xiao Li quickly inserted needles, and soon more than a dozen silver needles were inserted into his waist.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Li removed the needles and massaged him again. Xie Qing immediately felt much more relaxed and comfortable in his waist.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, and moved around a little, but felt a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you! Your medical skills are amazing. I'm almost fully recovered."
Xiao Li smiled; she was quite experienced, having spent a month stabbing herself in the body of a violent man.
"You're welcome. I'm the one who broke you just now, so it's what I should do."
Xie Qing blushed. If we don't bring this up, we can still have a proper conversation.
"I still want to thank you! After all, I was the one who scared you first. I accidentally bumped into your shoulder. We shouldn't have bumped into tourists in the first place."
Xiao Li nodded, "Then we're even. Neither of us did it on purpose; it was just an accident."
"Um."
Following Xie Qing's directions, Xiao Li left the haunted house and saw Ran Wenjing waiting at the door.
"Xiaoxiao, you scared me to death just now! I turned around and found you had turned into a skeleton..."
She smiled sheepishly, "I only realized later that I had pulled the wrong person."
Xiao Li burst into laughter.
"I was completely stunned. You ran off with the skeleton... haha..."
Ran Wenjing laughed too, "It's all my fault, I ran away without seeing clearly, and then..."
Xiao Li looked at Ran Wenjing, whose face was flushed, and thought, "Hmm, something's up!"
"What happened next?"
Ran Wenjing refused to say anything more, saying, "Let's go play bumper cars."
"Alright, let's go."
Xiaoli had a great afternoon of fun, and even ate at a roadside stall and drank milk tea before going home.

The Li family runs a herbal medicine business, collecting wild herbs and selling Western medicine. They also have a doctor on duty, making it a small clinic-like pharmacy.
However, it mainly sells medicines and health products.
Xiao Li spent the entire month in pharmacies. The original owner had applied to a university in Beijing, but after Xiao Li arrived, she went to the school and changed her application, choosing a medical university in her city.
The original owner already knew a little about traditional Chinese medicine, and now that Xiao Li has arrived, it's a good time to enroll in the TCM department and promote TCM.
The Zhou family arrived as scheduled.
"My child, you've suffered so much these past years."
Zhou's mother, Su Luan, cried as she held Xiao Li's hand, as if she were the one who had been wronged.
