Dahei's late-night visit kept Mu Huaixi busy until the dawn.
She was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back. She didn't even bother to change clothes or wash up before going to the cafeteria. She quickly ran to the kitchen and cooked herself a bowl of noodles on the small stove that was still on. She ate it up in one gulp and only then did the panic in her heart subside.
Mu Huaixi breathed a sigh of relief and stroked her lower abdomen. For the first time, she felt the changes in her body after pregnancy. Just as she was about to say something to the baby in her belly, she saw a big furry head arched to her waist and rubbed her lower abdomen gently.
"Dahei," Mu Huaixi smiled and touched its head. It obediently placed its head in her palm. Mu Huaixi felt a chill in her palm and saw that there was an extra branch full of fruits. She felt angry and funny at once.
Dahei was more human than she had imagined. Perhaps he knew that he had troubled her in the middle of the night, so he still remembered to give her some fruit to thank her.
"Where did the cherries come from?" Mu Huaixi picked up the branch and found that it was a string of cherry beads. Most of the hanging fruits were ripe, and it was obvious that they were carefully selected.
Mu Huaixi couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. He took out a few cucumbers from the vegetable rack next to the stove and placed them in front of Dahei. He patted its head and said, "You've worked hard too."
What Dahei brought in the middle of the night was not his own offspring, but an injured puppy. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that Dahei would actually save a puppy?
The puppy seemed to have been caught by some bird of prey. Its skin around its waist was torn and its hind legs were covered with peck marks. If Dahei hadn't brought it to her, it would probably not have seen the dawn.
"You really trust me," Mu Huaixi stroked Dahei's head, frowning as she thought of the puppy's injuries. She had been busy most of the night, not only because it was covered in wounds, but also because its spine had been broken by a bird of prey, and its two short hind legs hung limply behind it.
She had never treated a cat or dog before, so she could only give it acupuncture by feeling its qi, and applied the "Black Jade Intermittent Ointment" that she had tried last time. In order to apply the medicine, Mu Huaixi shaved off a circle of its hair.
Fortunately, the puppy seemed to know that she was saving it. It turned back with a whimper, rubbed her hand with its wet nose, and obediently let her apply the medicine.
Mu Huaixi made a small nest for it with soft cloth and a bamboo basket, and placed it on the now unused kang bed, just like the little white deer at that time.
She hadn't slept in the second half of the night, and now she had filled her stomach with breakfast. She yawned one after another, and didn't even eat the cherries that Dahei had given her as a reward. She went upstairs to sleep.
She slept until noon, and only woke up when Wang Xiaohua knocked on the door and called her.
"Didn't you sleep well last night? Are you still going up the mountain with us this afternoon?" Wang Xiaohua was circling around her like a little bee, her expression filled with worry. "Doctor Mu, what were you doing last night?"
Mu Huaixi rubbed his eyes and let her in. He pointed to the bamboo basket beside him and yawned, "Dahei picked up a puppy from his hand and was busy most of the night."
"Did Dahei pick it up?" Wang Xiaohua's eyes widened, and she immediately looked at the pile of puppies in the bamboo basket with curiosity.
"Dahei can also pick up dogs?" Wang Xiaohua was more and more surprised. She tilted her head and was about to say that this kid didn't look like a dog, but the next second, the finger she extended was bitten by the whining puppy. She was amused and laughed so hard that she obviously forgot what she was going to say.
Wang Xiaohua played with the immobile puppy for a long time before going out with Mu Huaixi who had packed up.
Fengjuan's home is in Maidiping, which is not very close. Wang Xiaohua originally planned to take her there by bike, but she happened to meet Xiao Hu who was also going to Maidiping, so she asked him to give her a ride.
"You have to ride steadily and don't bump into our Doctor Mu," Wang Xiaohua warned seriously. She also took off the cotton pad on her bicycle and tied it to Xiao Hu's bike.
Xiao Hu couldn't help but laugh, "Wang Xiaohua, you really value Dr. Mu too much, don't you? If you knew she was a doctor at your health center, someone would think she was your sister!"
"Forget it, I'll take her," Wang Xiaohua curled her lips and pretended to pull the cotton pad back, which made Xiao Hu beg for mercy quickly.
"Hey, Comrade Wang Xiaohua, I will ride the bike carefully and will definitely not let Dr. Mu get hurt," Xiao Hu assured him again and again, and only then did Wang Xiaohua put the cotton pad back.
Mu Huaixi felt helpless. In fact, her bicycle riding skills were already very good, but Wang Xiaohua would not let her ride by herself and insisted on taking her there. The colleagues at the health center had been taking good care of her since they knew she was pregnant, which made her feel warm in her heart.
Wang Xiaohua followed Xiao Hu all the way. Seeing that he was riding very carefully, she finally had time to talk to him, "Xiao Hu, what are you doing at Maidiping?"
Xiao Hu was a little embarrassed. "I, I'll go find someone. No, someone asked me for help. I'll go take a look."
"......", Mu Huaixi turned around and looked at Wang Xiaohua. Both of them noticed something from Xiao Hu's attitude, and even thought of someone at the same time.
Tang Xiaotang.
Wang Xiaohua obviously also thought of her, frowned, and did not continue to dig deeper into Xiao Hu's words, but Xiao Hu opened up and talked incessantly about him and Tang Xiaotang.
"Xiaotang is also a poor girl. Her family treats her very badly. Well, she can only come to me to talk about it." Xiao Hu's ears were obviously red, but he still said that he just cared about Tang Xiaotang.
Wang Xiaohua rolled her eyes and didn't want to respond to Xiao Hu's words. After all, the heartache in his words was about to overflow, but he still insisted that they were just friends.
She hates this kind of unclear relationship between men and women the most!
Mu Huaixi didn't want to listen, but Xiao Hu was talking so enthusiastically, the more he talked, the more he kicked his feet, so Mu Huaixi had no choice but to play the supporting role. Fortunately, Xiao Hu didn't need her to rack her brains to say anything. As long as she responded, he would continue to talk a lot.
The more Wang Xiaohua listened, the more her brows furrowed. When Xiao Hu said that the Tang family was treating him to a meal, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Hu, are you going to be the Tang family's son-in-law?"
Xiao Hu's handlebars suddenly tilted. He turned back with a red face and wanted to say something to explain, but accidentally hit a rock on the side of the road. The car immediately tilted. Before Mu Huaixi could say anything, Wang Xiaohua, who was following behind, immediately reminded him, then hurriedly pedaled a few times, dropped the handlebars and ran towards Mu Huaixi.
Mu Huaixi felt something was wrong the moment Xiao Hu turned his head. She leaned back on the back seat and jumped out of the car. She was supported by Wang Xiaohua and stabilized her body.
"Xiao Hu, what are you doing?!" Wang Xiaohua said in a bad tone, but before Xiao Hu could explain, she heard the exclamations of others.
"Brother Hu, are you okay?!"
