Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Are you the...miracle doctor Wu Qiaozi?"
She had no intention of hiding her surprise and expressed it directly.
The person had agreed to her request and was willing to go and treat Hua Yu tomorrow. Revealing one's identity was not something that could not be said...
She really didn't expect that the miracle doctor she had spent so much money to find would actually show up at her doorstep...
Although Wu Qiaozi had no intention of concealing his identity, he thought that no one knew his name in this remote countryside of mountains and hills, and no one would know it even if he told it.
Unexpectedly... seeing Hua Shi's surprised expression, I knew that she definitely knew about me...
"You know me...?" Wu Qiaozi stopped talking and asked.
Hua Shi nodded and continued as if explaining, "I went to Taohua Town a few days ago and heard what the people there said."
Wu Qiaozi glanced at her thoughtfully, then said with a hint of pride, "If that's the case, you know I never make random visits. You're lucky to have run into me."
Wu Qiaozi seemed very pleased with himself. After saying this, he followed the house Hua Shi pointed to, walked in, and went back to rest.
Judging from his aloof attitude, he doesn't seem to want to get too involved with other people...
Moreover, Hua Shi noticed that he seemed to attach great importance to the man in the room who was still unconscious, and his slightly impatient mood was clearly reflected between his brows.
Hua Shi looked at his indifferent back as he left, pursed her lips, but had her own plans in mind.
However, she didn't show it on her face at all, and silently suppressed the thoughts rising in her heart bit by bit...
The attitude of the miracle doctor was indeed a bit strange, and he didn't seem easy to get along with. If she revealed her little thoughts now, she would probably be given the cold shoulder...
"Sister...?"
Suddenly, I heard Hua Xiao's timid voice from the direction of the eaves behind me.
Hua Shi turned around and saw Hua Xiao's big, dark eyes sparkling with watery light, and a look of confusion, anxiety and uneasiness on her face.
"What's wrong?" Hua Shi rubbed his forehead, came back to his senses, and asked patiently in a low voice.
Hua Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward and asked anxiously, "I heard that Second Brother wants to take the risk of having his leg treated? Shouldn't we try to dissuade him?"
After all, that's... the risk of breaking a leg...
Hua Xiao was a little confused. She only knew that this was an extremely dangerous and disadvantageous thing to do. She didn't understand why her second brother, after waking up, resolutely chose this dangerous thing...
After hearing this, Hua Shi thought quietly for a moment before saying, "He probably doesn't want to live his whole life with a limp. Now that there's a glimmer of hope, he'll naturally give it a try."
Even though the results may not be satisfactory...
After hearing this, Hua Xiao looked at her as if he understood but not quite.
She knew that this was her second brother's own decision, and her elder sister would not try to dissuade him. Even if she did, it would be useless...
"Okay, don't think too much. Have you washed your face and brushed your teeth?" Hua Shi rubbed her frizzy short hair and asked to change the subject.
“…Not yet.” Hua Xiao replied absentmindedly.
"Go wash your face and brush your teeth, it's time to go to bed." Hua Shi urged.
Hua Xiao lowered his head, turned around and left the main room again.
It is said to be brushing your teeth, but in fact it is just rinsing your mouth with coarse salt water several times to rinse out food residues in your mouth with salt water and scrape off the dirt on the surface of your teeth.
This is the best way to clean teeth that Hua Shi can think of under limited conditions. There is no toothbrush or toothpaste here. If you want to keep your teeth clean, you must rinse your mouth with salt water in the morning and evening.
Under her influence, her younger siblings also developed the habit of washing their faces and rinsing their mouths after meals and before going to bed.
Especially for Hua Xiao, Hua Li and Hua Ying, who are still in the period of changing teeth, they should pay more attention to teeth cleaning and protection.
When Hua Shi came out of the main room, he happened to see Hua Li, who was in high spirits, bringing Hua Zhu with him. They were squatting by the well, holding a wooden cup full of water, and chattering about something.
Although he was standing far away, the bright light from the oil lamp in the yard was facing the two boys' faces, and Hua Shi could clearly see their happy smiling faces.
It seemed that during the past two or three days that she had been away from her, Hua Li and Hua Zhu, who had just arrived at her home, had gotten along very well, without her even needing to introduce them...
Hua Shi looked at it and nodded with some relief.
On the other side, Hua Xiao was taking the youngest daughter, Hua Ying, to wet a towel, wipe her face, and rinse her mouth.
Everything is in perfect order and harmony...
The bright moonlight, filtering through layer after layer of thick dark clouds, spilled into this narrow courtyard, leaving it serene and silent...
