Chapter 142 Let Me Go
After hearing this, Fu Yanlin pointed to the rough layout of the village he had drawn and replied, "It's just your ordinary memory. It's really amazing that you can heal patients."
Blinking his eyes, Qiao Jin thought: This is one of the gifts brought to me by rebirth. God has mercy on me and given me this skill.
She turned around, gathered up her medical supplies, and suggested, "Let's go out and treat the villagers."
After nodding in agreement, Fu Yanlin carefully put the map away and put it in his pocket to avoid leaving any evidence in this unfamiliar place.
When the two of them appeared together, they immediately attracted the curious eyes of the people around them, including some who were busy with their own things but still cast their eyes on them.
Especially from Le Fei's gossipy eyes, he looked them up and down before saying goodbye: "Thank you for running errands and seeing the doctor today."
Afterwards, he waved goodbye and left the scene, leaving only the small team with a heavy responsibility walking out of the village; even in broad daylight, the entire village was still shrouded in deathly silence.
Everyone stayed in the house and no one wanted to go out.
A small hole was drilled in the window of every household. Although they did not go out, they were secretly observing the situation outside.
Qiao Jin looked at the empty country road and called out softly, "The medical team sent by Kyoto are also young people who came to support the countryside. Don't be afraid, we are here to treat you."
However, when Qiao Jin just finished speaking, there was still no response around, and it was frighteningly quiet.
Qiao Jin couldn't help but look up at Fu Yanlin, who suggested, "Let's go a little further inside."
Just now, Cong Lefei walked a few steps ahead of them, but seeing the changes in the dust on the ground, Fu Yanlin felt that he should check where Cong Lefei had gone.
Qiao Jin naturally did what Fu Yanlin said. If Fu Yanlin pointed east, she would go east; if he pointed west, she would go west.
Never go the other way.
So the two of them continued along the village road.
At this time, a low voice was heard from the house of a family in the village:
"These two young men are so bold that they dare to go deep into the village. Don't they know what the current situation of Congjia Village is?"
The man, Lao Wang, was lying on the bed, covered with several quilts, but he was still sweating profusely.
"Just keep your mouth shut. If you want to protect our children, you have to stay at home!"
he snapped at his wife.
The woman frowned and complained, "But everyone knows that Cong Lefei lied to us. He said that if we let the children go out, they can make money and get rich. But now? There is no news from the children! He also said that he wanted to turn this place into a research base! Bah! What a bullshit research! The pests came and ate up all the crops. Now there is nothing to eat at home!"
Hearing this, Lao Wang's face suddenly turned ugly. He didn't know when these bad days would end.
"Since Le Fei said we will have food on time, why don't you go out and see him sometime."
"How dare I go out? If I go out, I'll be taken away. I won't go. You go if you want to go."
"I want to go out, but my leg disease has come back and it's hard for me to even get out of bed. You take care of me every day, don't you know that?"
The epidemic severely hit Lao Wang, who had been doing physical labor for many years, and made him unable to move.
The woman kicked her shoes under the bed in annoyance. "I think those two kids are really ignorant. I'm afraid they will get into big trouble!"
"Oh, it would be great if we could really be cured. But since Le Fei has threatened everyone not to receive medical treatment, what can we do?"
The woman was filled with resentment and regretted that she had listened to the matchmaker and married here.
It was said to be a model village in the vicinity and would become prosperous in the future. However, after more than ten years, not only did it not become prosperous, but life became even more impoverished.
The village was controlled by outsiders. We were not allowed to go out every day, and even my mother’s family could not be reached by phone.
Qiao Jin followed Fu Yanlin towards the village. The village was next to a forest on the mountain, and the road was difficult to walk on with many slopes.
After walking for a long time, she felt her legs starting to feel weak.
She tried hard to follow Fu Yanlin, not wanting to hold him back.
But Fu Yanlin still noticed Qiao Jin's condition, turned around and said, "Let me help you, let's go together."
Qiao Jin shook her head: "No, I can do it myself, just pay attention to the surrounding situation."
"Qiao Jin, I said I would protect you."
Fu Yanlin stared into her eyes, his eyes full of concern.
The two looked at each other, and the next second, Fu Yanlin stepped forward and carried her on his back.
Seeing this, Qiao Jin exclaimed, "Fu Dazhuang... put me down quickly. It would be so embarrassing if others saw me like this."
“Not embarrassing.”
Fu Yanlin had a blank expression on his face and didn't care at all.
He felt sorry for Qiao Jin because she was so tired.
Qiao Jin struggled for a while but failed.
Fu Yanlin stopped only after finally seeing a house.
Both of them looked at the house in front of them. The door was overgrown with weeds and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time.
However, there was a sow and several newborn piglets in the pigsty in the yard.
Qiao Jin immediately asked loudly: "Is anyone home? We are a medical team from Kyoto Hospital, responsible for treating the plague. Do you need help?"
“Free treatment, no money charged.”
After saying that, Qiao Jin listened carefully to see if there was any movement around him.
Seeing that the people of Congjia Village were so cautious and on guard, Qiao Jin looked at Fu Yanlin helplessly.
Now we can’t contact any villagers at all, so we can neither see a doctor nor find any clues about the criminals.
Just when Qiao Jin was feeling troubled, a woman suddenly knocked on the door and shouted, "I want to be cured!"
A man's voice immediately drowned out her cries for help: "What are you yelling about! Be quiet, or I'll punish you!"
"Hen that can't give birth to babies, get out of here."
There were sounds of smashing things, beating and scolding, as well as faint crying and screaming in the house.
This voice made Qiao Jin tremble all over.
Fu Yanlin also frowned, his face gloomy.
He winked at Qiao Jin, asked her to stand behind him, and then walked straight towards the house.
When he arrived at the door, Fu Yanlin smelled a pungent musty smell, and his stomach churned, but he still endured the discomfort and said, "We are a medical team sent from Kyoto. If you get the plague and don't get timely treatment, you will die."
"I'm going to beat you to death! You're always causing trouble, you're a loser, no one likes you, and you still want me to give you..."
"Stop hitting me, please let me go..."
The woman's painful cries continued to be heard, which was creepy.
Qiao Jin followed behind Fu Yanlin, feeling tense and unable to relax at all.
Fu Yanlin's brows were tightly knitted together, the patience in his eyes had long disappeared. He stepped back, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked hard.
Even though it was locked from the inside, the door was so fragile that it could not be easily broken.
Fu Yanlin kicked with all his strength and kicked the wooden door open. Dust on the beams began to fall.
