Chapter 338 Encountering Danger
Her biggest wish now is to see her brother return to her safely.
As long as he is taken to the military hospital, there is still hope that my brother's illness will be cured.
…
It would have been fine if Lu Chen didn’t know about that, but now that he knew, he couldn’t stay here for even a minute.
He had to go see Xu Nuo. Only by seeing her and explaining the situation to her would he feel at ease.
So he drove to the mountain village overnight. If everything went well, he could arrive there early the next morning.
Xu Nuo didn't know that Lu Chen was on his way here. She stayed by the phone for half the night, but Lu Chen never called.
Occasionally, the sound of dogs barking could be heard outside the window, making the night even quieter. Xu Nuo stayed there until she felt too sleepy to hold on any longer, then she locked the door and went to sleep.
The next day was a rainy day.
It rained heavily early in the morning. Xu Nuo walked on the muddy village road with an umbrella in hand, rushing to the treatment center at the primary school.
She slept too late last night and got up late this morning. Jin Yue and Zhou Ling were taking care of things over there, so she had to hurry to take over.
She entered the treatment center, closed her umbrella, shook off the rain on it, and then went into the house.
Jin Yue and Zhou Ling were busy preparing medicine and preparing intravenous drip for the child.
"Sorry, I got up late." Xu Nuo said.
"It's okay. There's not much work to do today. It doesn't matter if you come a little late." Zhou Ling said with a smile, "Today, the conditions of three more children have improved. Don't forget to check on them and discharge them if possible."
"Okay." Xu Nuo put on a white coat and said, "Then I'll go take a look."
Xu Nuo had just opened the door and was about to go to the ward area of the treatment center.
Suddenly, a villager, soaking wet, rushed into the treatment center in a panic: "Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu, someone has fallen into the old pond at the foot of our village! Hurry... hurry over and take a look."
Xu Nuo's heart sank suddenly, and he immediately grabbed the medicine box: "Where is the exact location?"
"It's on the road going north... there's a pond next to an old locust tree!" the villager panted, "It's a kid, he's fishing it out, go quickly."
"I understand." Xu Nuo didn't even bother to open an umbrella and rushed outside in the rain.
"Xu Nuo, Xu Nuo..." Jin Yue rushed out and wanted to ask her to take the umbrella with her.
As a result, when she came out, Xu Nuo had disappeared.
Jin Yue had no choice but to give up.
The rain blurred his vision and Xu Nuo's shoes were soon soaked with mud.
Along the way, she didn't dare to stop for fear that she would be too late and lose a life.
But when she ran to the pond, panting, there was no one around, only raindrops stirring up countless ripples on the water.
"Is there anyone there?" she called out, but her voice seemed particularly weak in the rain, and the only response she got was the whistling sound of the wind.
"Is the person okay now?" Xu Nuo muttered to himself.
Now that the person is fine, she feels relieved.
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly felt a huge push from her back.
"ah--!"
With a splash, Xu Nuo fell into the pond.
The cold water instantly drowned out her screams, and the turbid pond water poured into her mouth and nose.
Xu Nuo struggled to float out of the water and vaguely saw a man standing in the rain staring at her.
The rain and pond water wet her eyes, making it difficult for her to see who was standing on the shore.
"Help! Help--" she cried for help.
The person on the shore watched her floating and struggling in the water until her body slowly sank into the pond, and then he turned and left.
Xu Nuo held his breath in the water for a while before he surfaced and swam towards the shore using the swimming skills he had learned.
When Xu Nuo climbed ashore trembling, he didn't care about anything else. He ran back to the village branch to fetch water, boil water, take a hot bath, and then changed into clean clothes.
She was not in a hurry to go back to work. She sat on the stool and recalled what had just happened.
Who on earth would treat her like this?
Why did the villager lie to her?
Xu Nuo couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being, but he couldn't stay in the house all the time.
She thought about it and decided that even if someone wanted to deal with her, they would only do it in a place where no one was around.
If they were in a crowded place, that person would not dare to do anything to her.
So Xu Nuo rested in the house for a while, and then returned to the treatment center at the elementary school.
Seeing that she had been gone for a long time before returning, Jin Yue asked her, "How is it? Did you rescue the child?"
Xu Nuo shook his head: "No."
Jin Yue was stunned: "Not rescued?"
Xu Nuo said: "It's not that I didn't save him. It's just that when I went there, there was no one who fell into the water! The person who fell into the water was me!"
"What do you mean?" Jin Yue asked hurriedly.
Xu Nuo told Jin Yue about his experience, and Jin Yue was trembling with fear: "Who is that villager? Do you know him?"
"No, I don't know him."
"That's strange. What does he look like? I'll go find out for you!"
Xu Nuo originally didn't want to let Jin Yue ask, but she suddenly felt that it would be a good idea to ask Jin Yue for help.
At least, let that person know that she is investigating the matter, so that the other party will not be too arrogant.
"By the way, I have to ask Secretary Lu to help investigate it. Xu Nuo, this is not a trivial matter. You must figure out why that person attacked you." Jin Yue said.
Xu Nuo nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"What are you talking about? I'm going back to the village and I'll leave this place to you."
As night fell, Xue Long was wandering in the village and heard several villagers chatting outside their doorsteps.
"Dr. Xu had a hard time today, falling into a pond..."
"I heard that he swam up by himself, he is really lucky..."
Xue Long was stunned when he heard this.
This afternoon, he went to the water's edge and saw that the water was completely calm, so he thought she was dead.
Unexpectedly, she could swim.
That woman was so abominable. She obviously could swim, but she deliberately shouted "Help" to deceive him.
Otherwise, he would definitely grab a stick and beat her to death in the water.
So hateful!
I thought that after dealing with her, the next step would be to deal with Chen Rui.
After searching for a while, he was sure that Chen Rui was Jian Rui who escaped from his superior.
As long as he deals with these two people, he can leave this desolate village immediately.
Unexpectedly, his plan was disrupted.
no!
He has no time left. If he can't get rid of Xu Nuo today, he will have to kill her tomorrow!
He couldn't wait much longer, not even until tomorrow.
So he decided to take a risk and start his next operation tonight.
