The next day, the rain continued to fall.
"This is good rain. It's raining heavily when the corn is growing. This will definitely be a good year!"
Old Man Xie stood at the door of the main room, tapping his pipe, looking at the rain outside with a look of longing.
Gu Nanzhi: “…”
Good year?
A good year for natural and man-made disasters? That's really...
It couldn't be better!
She's almost going bald from worry!
However, the smoke from the kitchen curled up, and through the rain, the view of a misty countryside really gave me a sense of peace and tranquility, but soon...
The artistic conception was broken!
Because the Xie family's breakfast had just been prepared, and Gu Nanzhi had not yet instructed Xie Jianbang to go to the backyard to deliver the meal, Wang Wanning came limping in the rain!
"Oh no! Xiang Ling went to town yesterday and didn't come back all night. She hasn't been seen since!"
Wang Wanning was so anxious that she almost cried, "It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I got angry with her. I didn't go to her room yesterday to check on her, and now I know she hasn't come back. If anything happens to her, I... wuwu..."
It was only when she woke up in the morning and heard from Zhao Jie that she found out that Xu Xiangling had not returned. Upon hearing the news, she was immediately very anxious!
It rained all night last night. The village is far from the town. What if Xiang Ling...
Wang Wanning didn’t dare to imagine it at all, she regretted and blamed herself to death!
Gu Nanzhi heard: "???"
Xu Xiangling didn't come home at night?
this……
Xu Xiangling rented a house in the backyard of the Xie family. If she had any mishap, the Xie family would also suffer. Although the Xie family had a lot of things to do these two days, it was understandable that they didn't notice Xu Xiangling's absence all night, but...
The Xie family members are kind-hearted!
This time, without even bothering to eat, Xie Jianbang put on his straw raincoat and went to the old village chief's house. When something like this happened, he had to report it to the village immediately. Not long after, the old village chief came to his house with several cadres. After asking Wang Wanning about the situation, a group of people immediately went out in the rain to look for people!
Gu Nanzhi saw this: "!!!"
After a moment's hesitation, he left Xie Ruyun and Xie Ruhua at home to look after the children, and after instructing them to take care of Xie Yuanbao's emotions, he also went into the rain.
If possible, she doesn't want to leave Xie Yuanbao. The one who suffers the most when Xie Jianbang and Du Guirong divorce is the child!
Xie Yuanbao is currently in a period of separation and his emotions are very unstable. If anything goes wrong, it will leave a lifelong shadow. Gu Nanzhi doesn't want to leave such a hidden danger for the child, but...
Such a rainy day, such an impulse...
She was afraid of missing out, and she might not have the energy to look for the Sweeping Monk again!
Xiejia Village is not close to the town. The road, which is usually flat, is now muddy due to the rain. Gu Nanzhi walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and soon her shoes and trouser legs were soaked. However, she didn't care about anything else...
On the road, he caught up with the old village chief and Xie Jianbang and others who were shouting Xu Xiangling's name. Gu Nanzhi did not listen to them and went back. When he arrived in the town, he took the task of looking for someone in the town hospital and went straight to the town hospital!
After going to the hospital and asking many people, Gu Nanzhi confirmed that Xu Xiangling had indeed come yesterday morning, but had never been to the hospital since then. Then she took a deep breath and went to the Chinese medicine pharmacy.
The familiar pharmacy, with the aroma of medicine filling the air.
When Gu Nanzhi was shaking off the raindrops on her straw raincoat at the door, the old doctor glanced at her through the gap in his reading glasses. When he recognized her, he smiled and said, "Oh, I was wondering who came to get medicine in the rain. It turned out to be you, little girl! What's the matter? Little girl, have you figured it out?"
Gu Nanzhi heard: "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched. Knowing that he was talking about going to college, he didn't respond to his words and sat down on the chair opposite the old doctor. "I have something serious to talk to you about. Can you get me some medicine?"
The old doctor heard: "???"
He frowned and looked at Gu Nanzhi, then said in a deep voice, "Did you run out of the medicine you got last time so quickly? I heard from the pharmacy next door that you took away a lot of medicine last time, and you took all the prescription quotas from the villages around your home!"
"I haven't run out of medicine, but I want to stock up on some more for backup!"
Gu Nanzhi spoke after some hesitation.
"Hoarding medicine? Ha! I think you are an old man drinking poison!"
The old doctor laughed when he heard this. While picking the herbs in front of him, he said, "To tell you the truth, without me, this small town wouldn't be able to distribute so many medicines. Little girl, do you know what the barefoot doctors are like in other remote areas?"
"With just a needle, a few medicines and pills, and a small medicine box, they can go from street to street and benefit the community!"
"In this situation, if you want to stock up on medicine, you might as well find a rope and hang yourself!"
Gu Nanzhi: “…”
She didn't hear what the old doctor said later, she only heard the first sentence!
Even the medicines dispensed in this town are influenced by this sweeping monk. This sweeping monk...
He really is a sweeping monk!
That’s it!
"I want medicine! Medicine to prevent and treat epidemics! Medicine to stop diarrhea, medicine to reduce fever..."
Gu Nanzhi stood up, put his hands on the counter, looked at the old doctor with a sharp gaze and said, "The more the better!"
Eyes met.
Old doctor: “…”
He frowned and looked at Gu Nanzhi for a while, then stammered, "Why?"
"No reason!"
Old doctor: “???”
Are you teasing him?
"If you insist on asking why, I can only say that it rained last night and I had a dream. I dreamed that in the near future, the villages around the mountains would suffer from rainstorms and epidemics..."
Old doctor: “!!”
He looked at Gu Nanzhi with a helpless smile and said, "Okay, the more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes!"
"I'm telling the truth!"
Gu Nanzhi became anxious.
"Even if what you said is true, the hospital doesn't have any extra medicine!"
Seeing her anxious look, the old doctor sighed helplessly and said, "I carefully calculated the expenses of the entire town and used a lot of connections to approve the medicine here. If I let you take more, others will definitely not be able to get timely treatment due to lack of medicine!"
"Little girl, it's not that I don't want to help you, but are you... willing to see that happen?"
Gu Nanzhi heard: "..."
She hoarded medicine to save people!
If her hoarding of medicine prevents others from getting treatment, wouldn't that be a pointless act?
"Is there no other way?"
Gu Nanzhi's eyes were slightly red. Many villagers near Xiejia Village had come to her for medical treatment...
Most of them are honest, simple and kind, just like Ruhua and Tuanzi, they are all living people, vibrant lives!
She really couldn't watch them struggle and die in pain, she couldn't do it, so...
She is here!
She would rather risk exposing herself and come here, but...
The result was a heavy blow to her!
Old doctor: “…”
He looked at Gu Nanzhi for a long time with deep eyes, and watched her lower her head and cry silently. Finally, he couldn't bear it and said slowly, "Here, there is indeed no extra medicine for you, but..."
