After leaving Yu County, they were charged another toll, still one dollar per person.
When we reached the border between the two counties, a large group of thugs were standing at the intersection with weapons in their hands, trying to stop cars.
In front of their jeep was a tractor, and in front of that was a large bus. The license plate on the back of the bus also indicated that it was traveling from Hongyang County to the provincial capital.
"I suspect the ones we met on the road were just small fry. These are the real scissors." He Kun instinctively reached for his scissors at his waist when he encountered danger, but when he found nothing, he couldn't help but curse. "Damn it, if a scissors club doesn't bring scissors, what's the point of calling it a scissors club?"
As soon as the jeep stopped, a group of people rushed over and surrounded them.
After Ji Nanfeng and He Kun performed a show, they struggled to pay the three yuan toll.
Just as Ji Nanfeng started the car, the gangster reached out from the window and grabbed the steering wheel. "Brother, what's the rush? Let's have a good chat."
The leading thug asked, "Are you from Hongyang County?"
Ji Nanfeng nodded, and the leading thug grinned, "After walking so far, the car must be out of gas, right?"
Judging from the tone, it seems like they are forcing a sale.
Ji Nanfeng rubbed his hands and asked He Kun and Ruan Tang to contribute money for gas.
He Kun refused to do it when he heard it, and cursed at Ji Nanfeng according to the script he had prepared, "You can't ask us to split the gas money, right? If you hadn't said the fare was a little cheaper than the bus, we wouldn't have been your illegal taxi."
The leader was used to hearing this kind of infighting, so he came in to join in the fun and persuade He Kun to calm down.
"The car has no gas, no one can move... Oh, I didn't expect there was such a pretty girl in the car."
The leader was about to open the door of the back car and said, "Girl, are you looking for a partner? Do you want to live with me and enjoy the good life?"
Ji Nanfeng suddenly clenched his fists, and Ruan Tang secretly patted his back to signal him not to be impulsive.
As the leader opened the car door, he heard a violent coughing sound, as if the lungs were being coughed out.
Ji Nanfeng jumped out of the driver's seat in shock, cursing He Kun for being unjust. "You didn't tell me your wife was so ill before you got in the car."
He Kun understood and hurriedly got down from the passenger seat: "Brother, I'm sorry, my wife is sick, and the doctor there told me to take her home to prepare a coffin, but I'm not willing to do that."
He Kun took advantage of the fact that the leader was still in shock and quickly closed the car door. "I emptied my parents' savings to marry this woman. She died before she even laid an egg. My family doesn't have the money to marry me another one. I had no choice but to borrow money to bring her to the provincial hospital for a checkup."
The leader thought to himself, no wonder the woman in the back seat looked so pale.
But—she was so pretty, prettier than any other woman he had ever seen. If he had to spend all his money to marry a woman like her, even just to sleep with her, he would have thought it was worth it.
He could still faintly hear a cough coming from inside the car. He subconsciously glanced at the back seat and saw a pale face with disheveled hair pressed against the car window...
The leader took several steps back in fear, he almost thought he saw a ghost.
Forget it, a mortal like him is not worthy of experiencing the love between humans and ghosts.
"Old man, cough cough cough... I'm scared, come and accompany me."
He Kun waved his hand in disdain, "Brother, listen to my advice, don't marry a pretty face like this. Alas, you'll lose out."
"Ah...Okay."
Perhaps because He Kun's experience was too tragic, the leader patted He Kun on the shoulder and said, "If you have nowhere to go, come find me here. My name is Wang Qiang."
"With Brother Qiang's words, I no longer have to worry about being single for the rest of my life." He Kun said as he wiped away a tear of sadness.
Ji Nanfeng was busy playing the victim to Wang Qiang: "Brother Qiang, to be honest, I am also a poor man. I am over 30 years old and still haven't married. I secretly picked up a guy on the way to save some money for a wife. Who would have thought that he would cheat me."
Wang Qiang's head ached from the crying of the two grown men, so he waved his hand and let them go.
After leaving this area, Ruan Tang and Ji Nanfeng joked, "I heard that Beijing Film Academy is recruiting actors. It would be a pity if you two didn't go."
Ji Nanfeng glanced at Ruan Tang from the rearview mirror and said quietly, "You're such a chatterbox."
"It's getting dark, and we can't delay the journey. If we can get rid of them with money, we'll do it."
When we entered Yue County, a few scattered gangsters collected tolls, one yuan per person.
Ji Nanfeng and He Kun took turns driving, and after eleven hours, they finally arrived at the First Hospital in the Provincial Capital.
Ji Nanfeng gave the car keys to He Kun and asked him to go to the car factory to deliver the goods and meet up later.
It's 12 o'clock, the time when doctors get off work.
The two of them brought Li to the gate of a hospital in the provincial capital and instantly became the focus.
"Why are they staring at us?" Ruan Tang looked puzzled.
Ji Nanfeng glanced at Ruan Tang's clothes, then at his own. Then he remembered that they had changed into patched clothes to avoid attracting attention along the way.
After arriving in the provincial capital, I rushed straight to the hospital because it was already late, forgetting even to change my clothes.
A young doctor passed by and kindly reminded the two, "Are you here to see a doctor? It's past 8:00 PM and the doctors are all gone. If it's not an emergency, come back tomorrow."
Ruan Tang glanced at the nameplate on the young doctor's chest, smiled and shook her head, "Thank you, Doctor Yuan Hua. Let's go find Dean Pu. Is he in the hospital today?"
"Director Pu, let me ask someone for you." Doctor Qing asked the guard and said that he had not seen Director Pu come out.
Just as he was about to turn around and go into the hospital to find Director Pu, he was blocked by a group of medical staff who had just gotten off work.
"Doctor Yuan, is this your relative?"
Yuan Hua shook his head, "I also met them after get off work, and when I asked, they said they were looking for Dean Pu."
"I don't remember having such a poor relative in my family." Pu Xiabing said with disdain, "Is he a thief? He's dressed in rags, and the suitcase next to him would cost thirty or forty yuan in a state-owned store, and the black pants would cost sixty yuan..."
Other doctors agreed, saying that their provincial hospital wards had been frequently robbed recently, and the security department had not been able to catch the thieves.
It is very likely that these two people used Dean Pu's name to make themselves familiar to the hospital and then took the opportunity to commit theft.
Besides, Pu Xiabing is the dean's daughter. If she says that her family has no such relatives, then that definitely doesn't happen.
Before Yuan Hua could say anything, he was pushed away. A female doctor had already gone to look for her colleagues in the security department.
Ruan Tang frowned, watching the young medical staff gathered together, whispering to each other. "Are these people blocking the way here to watch monkeys?"
Ji Nanfeng was originally worried that Ruan Tang would be bullied for coming to the provincial hospital alone, but when he heard that she was in a mood to laugh and joke, he felt a lot more relaxed.
This will be where Ruan Tang will work in the future, and those who look after the monkeys will also be Ruan Tang's colleagues in the future, so Ji Nanfeng does not intend to interfere. He believes that Ruan Tang can handle it herself, and if she can't, she will naturally take care of it.
"If you're all busy, you can tell me where the dean's office is and I'll find it myself."
As soon as Ruan Tang finished speaking, a group of people in uniform appeared and surrounded them.
"You guys, what do you mean?"
