Chapter 257 It’s obviously just an old man!
Ran Qingxuan had nothing to do, so he fiddled with Gu Yanchen with his arms.
"Did you notice that someone was watching you outside while we were having dinner just now?"
"I noticed it a long time ago..." It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as it was mentioned, a look of speechlessness flashed across Gu Yanchen's face.
"I was wondering why Ma Lian'er stared at me like that in the afternoon. It turned out it was because of you!"
As a man, Gu Yanchen found some things difficult to say, but Ran Qingxuan next to him approached him with a smirk on his face.
"Don't tell me, if women still don't like this face, then there's something wrong with their eyes!"
"You still said..." Gu Yanchen, somewhat annoyed, pushed the tea in front of her, trying to shut her up.
Ran Qingxuan laughed so hard that he couldn't stop, and then made a few more jokes.
"There are people at home, don't teach them bad things!"
"Look how scared you are."
At noon, He Qingtuo drank a glass of rice wine at the instigation of his father and Lu Tao. He ended up not being able to handle the alcohol and went back to his room and lay down before the meal was over.
Just when Ran Qingxuan wanted to ask about why he had stared at the He siblings before, the door was slammed open, which scared Ran Qingxuan.
At the gate, Lu Adong, who was holding the door frame and panting, couldn't even speak. He took a few steps forward before speaking intermittently.
"Miss Qingxuan, please...come with me quickly, Qingqing's grandfather is in trouble...in trouble!"
Life and death are serious matters. Ran Qingxuan stood up without hesitation. Gu Yanchen had already taken his backpack and was ready to go with him.
"You stay and look after the child. I'll go take a look."
The old lady is old, and if her physical functions have really reached the end, her presence would just be a formality.
Gu Yanchen seemed to have thought of it as well, so he handed the backpack in his hand to Lu Adong.
Since we live in a village, it only takes a few minutes to get to the west end of the village.
When he hurried to the place, Ran Qingxuan faintly heard crying sounds coming from inside.
The relatives of the Lu family and Zhang Fengxia's family gathered in the yard, talking in low voices.
"It's not easy for the old man to survive till this age. It's a pity that I'm afraid he won't be able to see Qingqing get married!"
"Who says it's not true? Qingqing's grandfather has suffered a lot over the years. He is already over 70 years old and still works so hard. If you ask me, the old man is gone to enjoy his life and doesn't need to work so hard to support her."
"Qingqing is getting married the day after tomorrow, and I don't know if the old man can hold on..."
When the people gathered together saw Ran Qingxuan rushing to the door, they immediately signaled to those around them to stop talking.
"The distinguished guest of the Lu family has arrived. Let's let him in first. I heard that she is a female doctor with excellent medical skills!"
When Ran Qingxuan walked through the crowd to the door of the room, he heard someone behind him whispering.
"This girl is so young, I don't know if she can do it..."
"If I could really save people, I would be a fairy in heaven..."
Ran Qingxuan was not affected. When he entered the main room, he glanced at the three medicine cabinets against the wall. He smelled the strong fragrance of medicine and lifted the curtain of the bedroom.
When Lu Tao saw that it was Ran Qingxuan, he immediately reminded He Zishi, who was kneeling beside the bed with a painful look on his face.
"Mrs. Gu, may I have a word with you?"
"good."
Ran Qingxuan glanced at the earthen kang, and besides Old Master He lying there, there was also a thin figure sitting beside the bed.
With a quick glance, I only saw a head full of silver hair.
After coming out, He Zishi's lips were trembling, and then he knelt down to Ran Qingxuan without any warning.
When the relatives of the Lu family nearby saw this scene, they were immediately shocked. Since ancient times, it was unreasonable for a man to kneel down to a woman, not to mention that Ran Qingxuan was several years younger than He Zishi.
Seeing that he couldn't hold on, Ran Qingxuan decisively took a step back.
"Uncle He, I understand what you mean, and you don't have to kneel to me!"
Zhang Fengxia's two brothers were also there. Seeing this, they stepped forward to support He Zishi. Unexpectedly, He Zishi could not get up and even spoke with a crying tone.
"Madam Gu, I know my grandfather is too old to be cured, but I beg you to find a way to keep him alive, even if it's only until Qingqing gets married..."
Ran Qingxuan knew that people like them who were born in the countryside could not afford to get sick, especially the elderly who lived day by day.
Not having enough money is one thing, and not being able to meet or seek out famous doctors is another.
He Zishi took out something wrapped in cloth from his arms and handed it to Ran Qingxuan with trembling hands.
"This jade pendant is a family heirloom left by my grandfather. It was originally intended for Qingtuo. It is the most valuable thing our family can give us. Madam Gu, please accept it!"
Ran Qingxuan lowered his eyes, glanced at the jade pendant in He Zishi's hand, then reached out to take it and put it in his arms.
"Okay, I'll do my best."
The reason why Ran Qingxuan accepted the jade pendant was not because she was greedy for money. She had plenty of these things in her space. She accepted it just to make He Zishi feel at ease.
When He Qingqing's two uncles saw the jade pendant that Ran Qingxuan put into his arms, they opened their mouths and wanted to say how could this heirloom jade be given to outsiders casually, but when they thought that this thing belonged to the He family, they didn't know what to say.
After Ran Qingxuan entered the bedroom, the people around him automatically made way for him. The white-haired old man sitting beside the bed slowly turned his head and looked at Ran Qingxuan who was approaching.
The moment their eyes met, Ran Qingxuan instantly felt a sense of oppression...
He was clearly just an old man in plain clothes, but the fierceness in his eyes forced Ran Qingxuan to subconsciously avoid his gaze.
Trying hard to suppress the uneasy feeling in his heart, Ran Qingxuan straightened his back and looked at him calmly.
In just a moment, the old man became no different from an ordinary old man.
The younger generations around didn't even dare to breathe. They all knelt down with their heads down and didn't dare to look up.
The somewhat stiff body gradually relaxed, and Ran Qingxuan said to everyone: "Everyone was here when I treated Aunt Yuelan before, so please step aside for a while."
But when everyone stood up and walked to the door, the old man sitting beside the bed still didn't move.
He Qingqing knew her grandfather's temper, and also knew that Ran Qingxuan's treatment method was rather special, so she walked up and whispered, "Grandpa, Sister Ran doesn't like people watching when she's treating patients, let's go out and wait."
He Fanxiong turned sideways and looked at Ran Qingxuan with sharp eyes.
"How come I didn't know there was such a special healing method?"
Although the tone of voice was normal, Ran Qingxuan always felt that the room was a little hot, and even cold sweat broke out on his back.
She thought it might be because the old man was too serious. After all, asking someone to leave after meeting them for the first time would be hard for anyone to accept.
Besides, the father was almost dying, how could a girl who had just come of age help him?
However, she was entrusted by someone else and she also adhered to the concept of curing diseases and saving lives. When faced with the imposing old man, she did not take it seriously.
