Chapter 3



Ye Xiaoxiao knew that they were worried about money, so she took the initiative to say, "I brought some money with me when I came here, which is enough for emergency. Fourth brother fell into the river because of me. If anything happens, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life, so let me go with you."

Hearing Ye Xiaoxiao's firm voice, Ye Jianguo pondered for a while before agreeing: "The mountain road is not easy to walk on. If you regret it halfway, no one will take you back."

In fact, he was not worried about the money. Ye Jianguo was more worried that the child wanted to run away on his own.

Wouldn't that just cause more trouble?

The mountain road was indeed very difficult to walk on, and it was not certain that the girl could have persisted. I don’t know how she managed to get to the village by herself.

Although Ye Jianguo had a stern face and looked very serious, Ye Xiaoxiao knew that this patriarch, although he looked serious, actually cared a lot about the children.

"I know." Ye Xiaoxiao nodded heavily.

Before leaving home, Miao Cuifang tried to persuade Ye Xiaoxiao to stay for a long time. Finally, she had no choice but to give her the rabbit fur hat and scarf at home, and gave her a few words of advice before sending her away.

However, Ye Xiaoxiao still underestimated the ruggedness of rural mountain roads in the 1980s, because taking the main road required taking a very long detour. At that time, villagers had to climb over the rocky ridge and take the mountain road to get to the town.

The snow was very deep in the mountains, and every step Ye Xiaoxiao had to pull her feet out like pulling radishes.

Ye Changqing and Ye Changyuan, who were pulling the cart in front, walked much faster than her.

When Ye Xiaoxiao had difficulty walking, Ye Jianguo was also secretly looking at her.

Ye Jianguo had served in the army when he was young and had very keen observation skills. He was very sure that this doll was different from the previous ones.

I don't know if he has figured it out, so he looks a little bit peaceful.

It's better than when I first came.

I don't know how long I walked. Ye Xiaoxiao felt like she couldn't even feel her feet. "Are we almost there?"

"It's still far away. Let's go downhill now and walk another twenty miles when we get downhill."

Ye Changyuan's voice was lost in the north wind, which made Ye Xiaoxiao feel cold as well.

Ye Jianguo shouted, "Little bastard, don't roll down the hill."

Only then did Ye Xiaoxiao realize that Ye Jianguo had slipped and fallen to his death while going downhill on the mountain road.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you get in the car too."

Ye Changqing looked at the little girl and said.

He was shocked when he first found out that the little sister he had loved for more than ten years was not his biological sister. It was not until Ye Xiaoxiao came to Baishi Village that he accepted this sister from the city without much hesitation, perhaps because of the blood relationship.

Since she is a member of the Ye family, he should protect her as the eldest brother.

Ye Xiaoxiao quickly said, "I can still hold on."

As if to prove himself, he took a few quick steps until he was stopped by Ye Jianguo.

"Go downhill more slowly, follow me."

Ye Jianguo led the way, occasionally using a stick to feel for snow pits.

They set out in the morning, and by the time they arrived at the town health center, it was already noon.

Ye Xiaoxiao is now tired and hungry, but she still wants to persuade them to go directly to the county town.

"Old Four just has a fever. Go to the clinic and get a shot first. If the fever doesn't go away, go to the hospital," said Ye Jianguo.

Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to compromise, but she remembered that Ye Changsheng suffered muscle atrophy and paralysis in bed because of the doctor's mistake at the health center, so she decided to stay with him and keep an eye on him.

The town's health clinic is small, with only two doctors on duty.

When the female doctor saw Ye Changsheng's condition, she quickly asked his family to carry him to the bed. "He's delirious from fever. We need to give him a shot to reduce the fever."

The female doctor went out to get the medicine, and finally a male doctor with glasses came in.

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't know who the wicked doctor mentioned in the book was, so she could only stare at his movements closely.

Ye Changqing unbuckled his brother's belt and took off his pants.

Looking at Ye Xiaoxiao's sharp eyes, he reminded her awkwardly: "Xiaoxiao, why don't you go out and sit down."

"No..."

How could Ye Xiaoxiao possibly go out?

Just as the doctor was about to insert the long needle into Ye Changsheng's butt, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly pushed the doctor out.

The medical equipment in the 1980s is totally different from that in decades later, but when it comes to injections, Faye Xiaoxiao is never wrong. This doctor is the unprofessional one!!!

"What are you doing, kid, stop making trouble!"

The male doctor was angry, but when he saw that Ye Xiaoxiao was just a fair and tender little girl, his anger immediately disappeared by half.

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Doctor, I also know how to give injections, why don't you let me do it."

The male doctor and others looked distrustful.

"I really can." Ye Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, "I really won't let anyone touch my brother!"

The male doctor asked a soul-searching question: "Are you sick?"

Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly reached out to grab the syringe from the doctor, then skillfully used tweezers to pick up the alcohol cotton ball beside her, applied it to Ye Changsheng's buttocks, found the right position, and pushed the medicine in the syringe into him.

He moved in one breath, and at the end he did not forget to help Ye Changsheng pull up the waist of his pants which were half stripped off.

As soon as Ye Changsheng opened his eyes, he saw his cheap sister helping him pull up his pants, and he immediately wished he could faint again.

"Nonsense! It's just nonsense!"

The male doctor came over and became furious.

"Thank you for your hard work, doctor. There are so many patients here who need your care. I am sharing the work for you. Please go and have a rest."

Ye Xiaoxiao stuffed the syringe back into the doctor's mouth and gave a beautiful smile to the angry man, bringing out her aura as the best supporting actress to the maximum.

“You! You! You…”

I didn't say a word to you for a long time, and finally turned around and walked away angrily.

Ye Changqing asked what happened, "Xiaoxiao, you..."

"Brother, I studied medicine with my master in the capital. If there were medicine at home, we wouldn't have to travel so far."

Since the Ye family didn't know Ye Xiaoxiao's background, she didn't have to worry about being exposed when she made up stories.

Resting outside, Ye Jianguo and Ye Changyuan hurriedly lifted the curtain, but they didn't know what had happened before.

"Brother Sheng, wake up!"

Ye Changyuan shouted.

Originally wanted to continue pretending to sleep, Ye Changsheng: "..."

Ye Xiaoxiao ignored other people's concerns about Ye Changsheng. There was a stove in the bathroom, so it was quite warm. After a while when she came in, the snow on her body disappeared and her feet were cold and wet. She found a place in front of the stove to warm herself.

Two hours later, although Ye Changsheng still had a fever, the temperature had dropped.

Many people kept coming to the clinic. There was no overnight stay here, so they usually left after getting their injections and infusions.

Ye Xiaoxiao stood up and moved around. "Where are we staying tonight? Is there a guesthouse here?"

Ye Jianguo: "Sheng'er is not well yet. The doctor said he needs a few more injections. Let's stay at your grandmother's house for one night."

Ye Xiaoxiao then remembered that her mother Miao Cuifang was from the town and her father Miao Fengshan was originally a teacher. Later, he was severely persecuted during the special period. After that, he lived alone in the town and received a pension of more than ten yuan a month, which was enough for his life.

"oh……"

In the original text, this old man was only mentioned as a background board, and Ye Xiaoxiao was unable to understand his personality.

She nodded, and while the others were packing up Ye Changsheng's things, she went to get the medicine room.
