Wen Changhei lowered his raised hand in frustration and asked in a low voice with some dismay.
"Master, can I really... still make them accept me? Actually, now that I think about it, after I came back, although they exploited me and were picky about me, they didn't starve me.
I ate and used the same things as them. Occasionally, if I behaved well and took the initiative to do things, I would be rewarded with candy.
Me, why do I always want to get my previous status and be the boss... I messed everything up.
Uncle, you are right. I regret it, a hundred times. I want to go back and ask my grandma for forgiveness, but... I know she will never forgive me again..."
As Chang Hei spoke, his mouth was filled with bitterness and his face was covered with tears.
Old man Li had originally mocked and looked down on him, but now seeing his sincere regret, he was speechless.
Finally, put a piece of pickle in his bowl.
"Forget it, let's eat. Actually, don't I regret it? I am the head of the family, my wife and children are filial to me, what a wonderful life.
I just had to get together with that old bitch without thinking. I even hurt my whole family's heart for her... Boy, I regret it so much that I can't sleep every night.
But what's the use of regretting it? Going to beg them... will only make them look down on me even more.
Now that I think about it, how could I be so blind to fall for such a thing?
The old woman was so nice to me in the past, she rarely even spoke to me loudly.
But I took her kindness for granted. Now that she is gone, I realize how precious she was. Isn’t that ridiculous?..."
Wen Changhei listened and stopped talking. Finally, he approached Old Man Li and sighed.
"Forget it, you're right. If I go back now and really beg you to take me in and forgive me, it will only make them look down on me even more.
I will try my best to be a good person and let my grandma and the Wen family know that I, Wen Changhei, am not a piece of shit. In fact, I just have some bad thoughts.
Now I know I was wrong, but I will work hard to correct it.”
"That's right, kid, let's work together to correct our mistakes. We can't live in the same muddle as before. Especially you, you still have a long future ahead of you.
Heizi, you have to fight for your reputation, so that they will be proud of you when they talk about you in the future."
"Yes, uncle, you are the same as me. Let's work hard together and strive to live a good life.
Your family won’t feel ashamed when they talk about you in the future.”
"Yes, let's work together..."
In the darkness, the two people who had done something wrong clasped hands together and secretly vowed to live every day well from now on...
After most of the day, looking at various people lying on the road, people were leading animals wearing masks and walking forward in a hurry.
There were some passers-by who were fleeing the famine with them, and they were envious of them as they were fully armed.
The smarter ones seemed to be thinking about something, then turned around and got a piece of cloth to cover their mouths and noses.
On the first day, everyone chose a forest to rest. Fortunately, no one had a fever.
But when everyone was relieved, many people came to report the next day that some elderly people and children had fever and diarrhea.
Xu Yiding, along with his aunt and nephew, as well as several other temporary disciples who had vowed to study medicine, examined the symptoms of these people.
Xu Yiding looked very ugly.
"On the surface, it looks like this is caused by a cold. But upon closer inspection, there's something else mixed in. It could be the outbreak of the plague."
As a result, everyone started to panic.
"What should I do?"
"We're not leaving. From now on, we're staying here and not following the team."
Among those with fever, someone called Grandma spoke up, coughing and waving at everyone.
"Stay away from us. We will leave some food for you to eat in this mountain den.
If we can make it through, we will come and join you.
No, this is fate."
Her children and grandchildren were very reluctant to let her go. After all, they had been gone for so long, and now they were abandoned halfway...
"Don't be reluctant, I almost wanted to end it before I set off.
But at that time, I was greedy and couldn't bear to leave you. We've been together for so long, and with the Wen family and the village chief taking care of you, I feel much more at ease.
I have some regrets, but they're not too many. After all, we're better off than most. Go away, and don't worry about us. We'll find a safe place.
My sick old friends and I will also take care of these young children.
Hopefully, we can pull through.”
Xiushui was extremely depressed.
When she discovered that they had fever symptoms, she immediately prepared antipyretics.
However, those medicines that were usually very effective will have some effect on people this time.
The diarrhea, cough, etc. are still continuing, and the fever is also intermittent.
There were five children who had the seizure, and their parents couldn't stop crying.
Whether it is the elderly or children, everyone in the family feels very sad.
Seeing everyone crying in frustration, she felt for the first time how incompetent she was.
"Girl, being a doctor means facing helpless choices like this time and time again. We're just getting started. There will definitely be more people who will have attacks in the future."
"So, sir, do we really want to keep them now?"
"Don't keep them here. Let them sit on the oxcart and be pulled along. I think your medicine is having some effect on them, so it's effective."
It’s just that, in terms of the amount of medicine and the choice, we can pick more.”
Xu Yiding was not depressed, on the contrary he was very excited.
As a doctor, overcoming life-and-death challenges time and time again is the path to medical excellence that he has always pursued.
Finally, the Wen family contributed an ox cart for the sick to lie on.
Grandma's eldest son was in charge of driving the car, and they all took protective measures.
When he went out to see patients again, Xu Yiben would not let them go with him.
"You are still young, but I am old and have lived enough."
"No, I want to go too."
Xiushui and Ruzhu both disagreed.
Especially Ruzhu, her attitude was very firm.
"Xiushui can't go with us, our lives all depend on you.
If anything happens to my master and me, you can help us find a way to treat us.
If you also fall, our entire group might be wiped out. So you, who have your hopes tied to you, cannot go."
Xu Yiding also nodded.
"Yes, you really can't go. If Ruzhu girl must go with me, then let's go together. We agreed to defend well and do our best to handle the rest and leave it to fate."
Xiushui had no way to refute and finally acquiesced to this arrangement.
To this end, she sat alone in the car, constantly extracting the medicine, hoping that the medicine would work.
The next day, more bad news arrived: another twenty people in our group had developed symptoms...
