Chapter 155: Seeing a Doctor
Dong Chunlan forced a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere: "It doesn't matter. Strangely enough, this ancestral medicine is really miraculous."
"If it's convenient, could you show me the medicine?"
Qiao Jin asked tentatively, his eyes full of curiosity.
Hearing this, Dong Chunlan's face instantly became uncomfortable, and she quickly changed the subject: "Oh, that, that's just a very ordinary bitter recipe, there's really nothing special about it, and there's no need to show it to you."
Afterwards, Qiao Jin followed Dong Chunlan out of the room and came to the dining table.
Only then did they realize that Fu Dazhuang was not in the house.
Dong Chunlan pretended to be surprised and asked, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, where is Comrade Da Zhuang? Is there something urgent?"
"He went out in the morning and said he was going to go around the village to see how the villagers were doing."
Qiao Jin answered briefly. She remembered that Fu Dazhuang had gone out early this morning.
Dong Chunlan responded softly, knowing very well that Fu Dazhuang must have left in a hurry that morning because of something, which might be related to the problems in the village.
After dinner, Qiao Jin hesitated whether to go out for a walk, and Fu Yanlin's previous instructions to her emerged in her mind again.
After all, Fu Yanlin had not returned all night, and Team 214 must have already started their mission, so the situation became complicated.
Just when Qiao Jin was still considering whether to go out, there was a sudden and forceful knock on the door, interrupting her thoughts.
For a moment, the bowl in Dong Chunlan's hand accidentally fell to the ground, making a crisp sound and then broke into pieces.
The fragments were scattered everywhere, looking extremely messy.
Qiao Jin calmly looked at the mess on the ground. There was a hint of barely perceptible surprise in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Dong Chunlan quickly bent down, her movements were a little hasty but cautious, and she carefully picked up the broken pieces of the bowl on the ground one by one.
"The knock on the door was so loud that people thought something big had happened."
Dong Chunlan said with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "Comrade Qiao, you continue to eat. I'll go out and see what happened."
After saying this, Dong Chunlan stood up hurriedly, obviously feeling a little uneasy about the situation outside the door.
She was about to go out, still feeling a little confused.
As she moved, Qiao Jin's gaze followed.
Dong Chunlan was seen almost jogging towards the door, her steps were brisk but she seemed a little flustered.
After arriving at the destination, he did not open the door immediately, but paused for a moment and peeked out through the peephole. When he confirmed that the visitor was the familiar villager Old Li, he felt relieved and reached out to unlock the door.
As soon as the door opened, the anxious and worried voice of Old Li came to me: "Where is the doctor? Who here knows medicine? Quickly ask the doctor to come and see my wife!"
I saw Old Li standing at the door, sweating profusely, his tone anxious and even a little rude.
After hearing this, Dong Chunlan first looked at him with a puzzled look on her face, then changed to an unfriendly expression and walked out.
From the look in his eyes, it seemed as if he was silently warning Old Li to be careful about his words and actions.
Qiao Jin didn't say much, but just followed Dong Chunlan silently, trying to make her footsteps as light as possible, for fear of disturbing anyone inside or outside the house or attracting more attention.
Seeing Qiao Jin appear in front of him, Old Li rushed over as if he had seen a savior, and angrily asked, "Woman, what method did you use to treat my wife? Why is she vomiting and having diarrhea now, and her face is as pale as a piece of white paper? And she even kept saying that she was about to die?"
When he said this, Old Li became noticeably more excited.
"I'm telling you! If anything happens to my wife, don't even think you can get away with it! You'll be buried with her!"
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Lao Li's mind, including many extreme ideas.
Because until now they still have no children; on the other hand, because he noticed the graceful figure of the woman in front of him, some impure motives arose in his heart.
If he fails to cure his wife, he plans to take extreme measures to force her to stay.
If a so-called original wife really shows up in the future, he has his own plans to get away with it.
Feeling the almost crazy and vulgar look in the other person's eyes, Qiao Jin couldn't help but feel an irrepressible nervousness in his heart.
On the surface, she was still trying to maintain that rare calm and composed attitude, but deep down she was actually very worried about the safety of the woman lying on the sickbed.
The mission of Team 214 this time is to protect the safety of the villagers. Even as a doctor in the team, Qiao Jin is determined to help his father complete the mission of every task.
She knew that this was not only a responsibility and obligation, but also a commitment and an expression of her deep affection for her fellow countrymen.
Qiao Jin said: "I will go with her to see the doctor."
Her voice was calm but firm.
Dong Chunlan's body trembled noticeably after hearing this, as if something had touched a fragile spot deep inside her.
Turning to look at Qiao Jin, he thought of what Le Fei had told him before and forced a smile on his face: "Comrade Qiao, I'll go with you."
Although she had thousands of doubts and worries in her heart, she dared not express them directly and could only convey her feelings through actions.
Then he turned and walked towards Qiao Jin. Although he tried his best to act natural, he couldn't help but whispered a reminder when he got close to Qiao Jin: "This guy is a little mentally ill. I'll go with you to take care of him."
Although her voice was so soft, almost inaudible like a mosquito, the tension and concern in her tone could not be concealed.
But at this moment, Qiao Jin knew clearly in his heart that the entire Congjia Village had already been rotten to the core, and it was full of a bunch of ruthless villains.
These people may seem calm on the surface, but they actually harbor evil intentions and are hard to guard against.
But none of this matters to her, because fulfilling her duties and maintaining order and peace in the village is more important than her personal safety.
She firmly believed that Fu Yanlin would be able to complete this task excellently.
This trust not only comes from long-term cooperation experience, but also is based on a deep understanding of the other party's professional ability and sense of responsibility.
Without saying much, Qiao Jin went straight back into the house to pack the medical kit.
When he was ready to go out again, Dong Chunlan had already put on a mask and followed him out of the yard quickly.
The two people's steps seemed particularly steady.
When I passed by Liu Dayang's house, I heard a child crying loudly inside.
The thin figure stayed in the cowshed, holding the calf and refused to let go, no matter how the father pulled him.
The tears and screams intertwined into a heartbreaking picture that was unbearable to watch.
This made Father Liu angry: "You bastard, why don't you listen to me? If you don't go back, just watch for a while..."
