It has only been a month, but Zhou Yuanyuan felt like she hadn't seen Zhao Qingshan for a long time. Regardless of the crowds at the hospital entrance, Zhou Yuanyuan rushed directly towards Zhao Qingshan.
Zhao Qingshan had just hugged Zhou Yuanyuan and hadn't had time to say anything when an anxious voice rang out, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Zhao Qingshan looked up and saw a man in his thirties holding a curled up body in his arms, running past them anxiously towards Renhe Hospital.
When the man passed by Zhou Yuanyuan, a faint stench floated in the air, making Zhou Yuanyuan frown.
"Grandpa, I'm going to school. I'll pick up Jiasheng after school." Wen Ziqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Qingshan. Just a moment ago, Wen Ziqing was still wondering if he could find Zhao Qingshan at the hospital. After all, he didn't know if Zhao Qingshan would go to work today. Although Wen Ziqing knew Zhao Qingshan's address, if he kept going back and forth, he might be punished by the teacher on his first day of school.
"Let's go! Run faster." Zhao Qingshan smiled and waved at Wen Ziqing. It was getting late, and if Wen Ziqing hurried back now, he would just be able to catch the first class at 8:30.
"Master, there is evil spirit." At this time, Xiaoyu in Zhou Yuanyuan's mind screamed.
"What's evil energy?" Zhou Yuanyuan had heard the term "evil energy" for the first time and found it a bit strange. Xiaoyu had been obediently helping Zhou Yuanyuan repair her sea of consciousness these days, only taking a small amount of time each day to practice on her own, and had always been very silent. This was the first time she had screamed like that.
"That person who just ran over had an evil aura about him." Xiaoyu explained, "Evil aura usually appears on evil cultivators. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that that person was targeted by an evil cultivator."
"Evil cultivator? Is he very powerful?" Zhou Yuanyuan's habit is that when she encounters something she doesn't understand, she will never pretend to know, and she will have to get to the bottom of it.
"Very powerful. Evil cultivators are the mortal enemies of cultivators. They like to absorb the spiritual energy of cultivators to strengthen themselves. Master, you are still relatively weak now, so you must protect yourself!" Xiaoyu persuaded earnestly.
Huh? Zhou Yuanyuan shuddered. Why did Xiaoyu's words sound a bit creepy? Absorbing the cultivator's spiritual energy? How? Just the spiritual energy, or the entire person? Skin and bones...?
"Yes, Xiaoyu, I will stay away from danger." Zhou Yuanyuan quickly assured Xiaoyu. Zhou Yuanyuan has always been cautious when encountering unknown things.
Xiaoyu was finally satisfied. Xiaoyu's greatest hope was that Zhou Yuanyuan would gradually grow into a powerful cultivator. Only when Zhou Yuanyuan became stronger could Xiaoyu possibly return to her original state. The middle-aged man's evil energy wasn't much, just a trace. Xiaoyu exaggerated a bit, just to scare Zhou Yuanyuan.
Xiaoyu knew that humans were the most curious of creatures. When encountering something unknown, they always wanted to explore its depths. Xiaoyu had seen many brilliant individuals fall before they could truly mature, simply because of their excessive curiosity. For a cultivator, the most important thing wasn't aptitude, but a heart that didn't care about other people's affairs. Xiaoyu constantly monitored Zhou Yuanyuan's cultivation and constantly shared with her the ideas she believed were correct.
At the same time, Liu Yicheng was called to Dean Hao's office and given a good warning. Liu Yicheng was so angry that his face turned pale.
Damn, is that country old man a relative of Dean Hao? Otherwise, why would the Dean defend him so much?
Although Liu Yicheng promised Dean Hao that he would not cause trouble for Zhao Qingshan again, he hated Zhao Qingshan in his heart.
As soon as Liu Yicheng returned to his clinic, a patient came.
"Doctor, please take a look at my wife. She twisted her ankle when she just went downstairs. It seems that she sprained her ankle." The man who accompanied the woman to see the doctor was a man in his thirties. He was strong and looked very imposing.
"Your lover?" Liu Yicheng felt a little strange. He looked at the patient, then looked at the medical records in his hand, and suddenly felt that this world was a little mysterious.
The medical record stated the patient was 25 years old, female, and a teacher. However, the woman before Liu Yicheng had a head full of silver hair and a face full of wrinkles, looking at least in her 50s. If the man hadn't proactively explained his relationship with the patient, Liu Yicheng would have thought she was his mother.
The patient closed his eyes and frowned, biting his lips tightly to endure the pain, but did not utter a single groan.
"Doctor, look." The man carefully rolled up the woman's trouser legs, revealing her swollen ankles.
Liu Yicheng bent down and touched the patient's ankle. It was indeed sprained, but based on the touch alone, Liu Yicheng could not tell whether the bones inside were okay.
Remembering how Zhao Qingshan mocked him two days ago for not even noticing the dislocation of the bones, Liu Yicheng thought about it and wrote out an order for an X-ray examination, asking the man to take the patient to have an X-ray first and then come back to the clinic.
An hour and a half later, Liu Yicheng was holding the patient's X-ray, looking confused.
The patient's ankle was merely sprained, but her bones were different from those of an average person. While an average person's bones are dense and appear smooth white on X-rays, this woman's bones were peculiar, dotted with tiny black spots that resembled tiny holes the size of sesame seeds.
After Liu Yicheng prescribed the patient a prescription, he kept the X-rays, claiming the patient's condition required a consultation with specialists. The man, Zeng Mingliang, was a driver. After leaving his name and address, Zeng Mingliang and his wife slowly departed.
After making sure that she had no broken bones, Wang Xiaona did not let Zeng Mingliang hold her. Instead, she held Zeng Mingliang's hand and slowly walked to the hospital entrance.
"Mingliang, don't worry about me. I'll take the bus back later. You can go to work!" Wang Xiaona persuaded Zeng Mingliang softly. Because of her, Zeng Mingliang had been taking leave frequently in the past month. Wang Xiaona was afraid that Zeng Mingliang would be disliked by his boss and lose his job.
"Xiao Na, I'll take you home first, and then go back to work." Zeng Mingliang insisted on his opinion.
Zeng Mingliang and Wang Xiaona had been married for just over a year and had no children, but their relationship was very good. Just a month ago, Wang Xiaona contracted a strange illness, and her appearance began to age rapidly. In less than a month, she had transformed from a beautiful young woman into the old woman she is today.
Zeng Mingliang took Wang Xiaona to many hospitals, but no cause was found. Just three days ago, Wang Xiaona inexplicably fell while walking.
