Chapter 13 He seems to be a little dead!
Wolf Fang retains the instincts of a hunting dog, enjoying hunting and patrolling its territory, but it also possesses a strong sense of discipline typical of hunting dogs.
Regardless of whether it catches prey or not, it will always return home at the same time and place.
He didn't come back last night.
There's only one possibility: it refuses to come back.
Xu Chi walked down the mountain path, a half-hour journey, but after several moments of exhaustion, it took him two hours to finally reach the foot of the mountain.
As soon as I stood still, I heard a clear and arrogant voice coming from the courtyard not far away.
"Big Fatty and I spent an hour filling this out, so you'll have to spend an hour too, brother!"
"I give up, Tu Xiaomao! I owe you something!"
Tu Chaoxi glared at him, wishing she could punch him!
He woke up and rushed over to see her, only to find two little kids struggling to fill in the two-meter-deep hole that hadn't even been put to any use.
Just like yesterday, he was overcome with kindness and started helping again.
But as soon as he started working, Tu Xiaomao wanted to slack off!
Tu Chaoxi couldn't understand how someone could be both stupid and shrewd!
She's shrewd, yet she seems a bit naive. And when you say she's naive, she knows how to push all the work onto him!
"Where did you get so many fallacies from!"
Tu Yao pouted, "So, are you going to do it or not? If not, I'll keep doing it."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Chaoxi gritted her teeth: "Fine, I'll do it!"
Then he ended up doing all the work by himself, while Tu Yao and Ding Dapang sat down on the steps next to the wolfhound that had been guarding them all night and had fallen asleep.
Ding Dapang scooped out a handful of candy, and Tu Yao skillfully grabbed it!
The chubby boy said with a bitter face, "Tu Xiaomao, you don't like this candy. It has pine nuts in it!"
Tu Yao ignored her: "Never mind, I'll decide after I've tasted it!"
Ding Dapang: "Okay..."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
Tu Chaoxi was too lazy to pay attention to the two idiots anymore, and turned her gaze to the house.
The brick and tile bungalows are spacious.
The people in this village all seem quite friendly. They took in Tu Yao and not only provided her with this house, but also spoiled her so much that she became this way.
He casually asked, "Whose house was this originally?"
Tu Yao spat out the candy, replaced it with a new one, and explained what she knew.
Tu Chaoxi frowned as she listened. Her family of four had moved to the city ten years ago...
When we move back, will Tu Yao be homeless again?
It seems he'll have to trick people into leaving after the show is over.
He asked for some specific information, but Tu Yao knew nothing else.
Auntie San from next door just happened to come out and chimed in.
"Old Xu's family has had a tough life, they don't plan to come back."
The three of them turned around in unison: "Why, Third Aunt?"
The aunt waved her hand. "Old Xu's wife fell seriously ill five years ago. To get her medical treatment, Old Xu ran around tirelessly. But before his wife could get better, his daughter died in an accident. A year later, his son, I remember his name was Achi, also fell ill. It's so hard!"
“We live in a poor, remote area with no good doctors, so there’s no point in bringing them back.”
"Oh, that Ah Chi, he's even more pitiful than Xiao Mao. He worked at a young age to earn money for his mother's medical expenses, and later he worked to earn money for his own medical expenses. He's become so thin and frail!"
Tu Yao felt like the candy in her mouth had lost its flavor.
...A gambling father, a seriously ill mother, a sister who died young, and a broken man...
Tu Yao immediately conjured up a tragic human image in her mind.
"Woof!"
Wolf Fang suddenly woke up, and seeing something, he shouted excitedly!
Tu Yao ruffled the dog's head: "Shut up!"
Wolf Fang ignored them and kept barking at the door! Its tail was practically wagging like a propeller!
Tu Yao was taken aback and looked over in that direction.
Upon closer inspection, they saw an unusually thin young man standing outside the courtyard.
The young man was wearing a black shirt, which fluttered loosely in the wind, giving him an air of frailty.
His eyes were exceptionally clear and bright, and he was calmly observing her.
The moment their eyes met, Tu Yao's open mouth slowly closed.
Thinking about it calmly, it seems the template has come true.
The next second, before anyone could react, Wolf Fang suddenly broke free of his chains!
He suddenly rushed out of the courtyard!
Instantly, it stirred up a cloud of dust in the air!
The young man standing there changed his expression slightly, and almost inaudibly uttered half a "retreat"!
But before he could finish speaking, he started coughing violently.
The wolfhound seemed to have realized something as well, and suddenly stopped halfway, pacing around anxiously and frustratedly, whimpering.
The young man's cough worsened, and his strength was visibly fading away.
Tu Yao stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly snapped out of it and rushed over to reach into his shirt pocket with a clear objective.
Sure enough, I found a bottle of medicine.
He quickly unscrewed the bottle cap, took out a pill, and popped it into his mouth!
After a short while, her pale face turned into a faint rosy hue, but she was still in a semi-conscious state.
Ding Dapang was terrified and whispered, "Tu Xiaomao, he seems to be a little dead."
Ding Dapang had always been afraid of this kind of scene since he was a child. Tu Yao waved her hand at him and said, "Alright, go back and finish your homework. Your parents will be back tonight."
The couple went to buy things for the program crew, and they should be back tonight.
The chubby boy immediately turned around and ran away without stopping.
Once everyone had run far away, Tu Yao's face immediately turned serious: "Let me feel it and see what the specific illness is."
Tu Chaoxi: ?
"Wait! Do you even know how to touch it?!"
Tu Yao had already touched this unusually thin wrist joint.
Following the slightly throbbing veins, the cool touch gave her a slight jolt.
Tu Yao frowned: "...It's...asthma."
Tu Chaoxi breathed a sigh of relief; the symptoms just now did resemble those described.
It seems they really do.
But the next second, Tu Yao suddenly touched it again.
After a long pause, he uttered two words: "...cold body".
I touched it again.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "...stomach problems."
He paused for another second: "Heart rhythm disorder."
And so, one diagnose per second.
A total of eight illnesses were reported one after another!
Tu Chaoxi: ? ? ?
It's getting more and more outrageous!
"Tu Xiaomao! Don't do anything reckless! Don't try to do things you don't know how to do!"
Tu Yao stopped what she was doing and said in a serious tone, "I know how to do it. This is the pulse I felt."
Although she's only a novice, she still knows some basic things.
"You can do it? What can you do?!"
Tu Chaoxi was going crazy and quickly tried to pull the person away!
Just then, a weak, youthful voice rang out softly:
“She didn’t misdiagnose me; I have all of these illnesses.”
Tu Yao immediately looked down and saw that the young man, who had just been half-conscious, had somehow regained consciousness.
He was leaning against her, gazing at her calmly.
His faint breath was coming from his neck.
Amidst the sound of breathing, "beep—"

Tu Yao: ?
Tu Yao was startled and let go of his hand. The young man, caught off guard, fell to the ground.
Xu Chi: ...
Tu Chaoxi: ...
They quickly and frantically helped the person up!
