C2 Scared
Seeing everyone leave, Ning Rongyue was touched and comforted Doctor Fu. When the village chief saw this, he asked Ning Rongyue about the whole story. He was also angry that his raised child suddenly brought back a man.
Ning Rongyue saw the serious look on the village chief's face and said timidly, "Uncle Fu Yuan, don't be angry. It was like this. Today, I went to the river to dig wild vegetables. After digging the wild vegetables, I saw that the fish in the river was quite fat, so I wanted to catch two. But not long after I went into the water, this person floated over from the river. A doctor should be kind, after all, it was a human life. I pulled him back without thinking. Then, I dragged him back. "
Although the village chief, Fu Yuan, understood the whole story, his temple still throbbed with pain. "You went into the water to catch fish alone?! How dare you grab a floating corpse when you see it!"
After all, he was not Ning Rongyue's father. There were still some things that he did not consider thoroughly. He did not expect that this girl would be raised by him to be so wild!
"I'm sorry, Father Fu Yuan. I know I was wrong. Moreover, all of you have always taught me that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. I was just in a rush."
Seeing Fu Yuan getting angry, Ning Rongyue immediately changed her way of addressing him as a spoiled brat. Fu Yuan immediately had a helpless expression on his face. This girl just knew how to coax him.
"Alright, alright. Your father Fu Yuan is also worried that this will not be good for your reputation as a girl." Doctor Fu tried to smooth things over. Ning Rongyue stuck out her tongue, and Doctor Fu changed the topic to the man who was still unconscious. "But what should we do with this person?"
Fu Yuan was also in a dilemma. Judging from the man's clothes, he was either rich or noble. He was afraid that he would bring disaster to the village. However, this was still a life. It was not appropriate to leave it hanging like this.
Ning Rongyue suggested. "Why don't you bring him back to my house? I brought him back, and I can also use this to train my medical skills. " It should be me. Fu Yuan stared at him and said the rest of his words.
Although Doctor Fu was deep in thought, he still looked at her with dissatisfaction. "How can a girl like you bring a stranger home? But in that case, bring him to my medicine house. There are still a few unoccupied houses over there that can be used to house people. It will be more convenient for us to treat his injuries. When he wakes up, Let's see if he's going to stay or not. "
That's fine. The village chief nodded and found a few people to carry the man to the clinic.
Ning Rongyue volunteered to clean up a room. This was the person she saved. Ning Rongyue seemed to have found a new toy and was very interested in it. She excitedly went to make a medicine to drive away the cold and wanted to feed the man. Doctor Fu saw her like this and thought about it but did not stop her.
The man changed into dry clothes but Ning Rongyue held the medicine bowl and was in a dilemma. She placed the bowl on the side of the small table and supported the man's upper body to lean against the bed. She then picked up the bowl of medicine and fed it to the man with a spoon. Fortunately, the man seemed to have some consciousness. She very cooperatively swallowed the medicinal liquid. After feeding the medicine, Ning Rongyue wrinkled her nose somewhat complacently. Her footsteps were light as she went out and closed the door.
In the courtyard, Doctor Fu took a look at the empty medicine bowl in her hands and lowered his head to continue fiddling with the medicinal ingredients in his hands.
"Yue, are you there?" A shout came from outside and Ning Rongyue's eyes lit up. It was the village chief's second son.
Ning Rongyue put down the medicine bowl in her hands and ran to the door and asked happily, "Mr. Anian, what are you doing here?"
Ah Nian's full name was Fu Yingnian. It was a cultured name that was given by Ning Rongyue's father. He was also 18 years old now. He was older than Ning Rongyue by four years. He looked tall, strong, and honest. Although he was at the age where he should marry, he did not know why he had not married yet.
"Dad told me to catch some fish. He asked me to tell you to bring Doctor Fu to dinner tonight." Fu Yingnian, who was talking to Ning Rongyue, was a little shy. However, his bronze face could not be seen. Ning Rongyue's attention was completely on the fish. She smiled until her white teeth were full and agreed.
At the same time, the fingers of the man lying in the room moved slightly.
A blissful fish feast filled with happiness. The village chief's wife continuously picked up food for Ning Rongyue and made her eat until her mouth was full of oil. She kept praising the village chief's wife's culinary skills. After the meal, Doctor Fu and Ning Rongyue got up and said goodbye, "Uncle Fu, Aunt Fu, Grandfather and I will leave first. You guys should rest early too."
Mrs. Fu was a little reluctant, "Yue Er, why don't we stay here tonight?"
Village Chief Fu's family did not have a daughter, so Mrs. Fu really treated Ning Rongyue as her own child. Ning Rongyue used to live in the village chief's house before she was ten years old, but as she grew older, there were more and more people gossiping outside. Ning Rongyue was stubborn, so she moved back to the house her father left behind.
Ning Rongyue hesitated for a moment but still refused. "It is not early now, so I will not disturb Aunt and Aunt. I will just go back with Grandfather." Doctor Fu also nodded. Mrs. Fu could only nod and watch the two of them leave. When she turned around, she sighed to Village Chief Fu and wanted to say something but stopped herself.
"Grandfather, I will go to the medicine store to take a look first. You should quickly go back." After sending Doctor Fu to the door of her house, Ning Rongyue was somewhat worried about the man in the medicine house and decided to go over to take a look. Anyway, the medicine house was close to her house and there was a distance of two steps between them.
Doctor Fu was a little worried. "I don't think that man is easy to get along with. There are several bowl-sized scars on his body. Be careful. If he wakes up, come and call us. "
Ning Rongyue stuck out her tongue and turned around to leave. "Grandfather, don't worry. I'm leaving." Doctor Fu, who saw her leave, smiled and shook his head.
He pushed open the door of the medicine house. The sky was already dark. There were a few big trees planted in the courtyard and they looked like shadows. Ning Rongyue had always been bold and did not feel scared. She walked to the door of the room where the man was placed and pushed open the door. The room was dark. Ning Rongyue touched the darkness and walked to the table where the oil lamp was placed. She lit the oil lamp.
The oil lamp lit up a gentle yellow flame and the room was also lit up. However, Ning Rongyue was stunned for a moment. At this time, the blanket on the bed had already been lifted. The man who was originally lying there had disappeared without a trace. Ning Rongyue was puzzled. "Where is he? Could it be that he woke up and left by himself?"
She walked to the bedside and lowered her head to take a look. This one look actually frightened her quite a bit. Carefully looking at the two shadows on the ground, there was a person standing behind her! Ning Rongyue's heart was pounding and her face was also somewhat pale. She stiffly turned around and saw that person revealing a mouthful of white teeth to him.
"Ah!!!"
Ning Rongyue squatted down and let out a loud and piercing scream. The people behind her were also frightened by her reaction and took two steps back with a helpless expression.
After a while, nothing bad happened. Ning Rongyue then calmed her frightened little heart and looked up carefully. She could not help but grind her teeth. Isn't this the injured man who should be lying on the bed? Seeing the frightened and helpless expression on the face of a big man like him, Ning Rongyue could not bear to look at him directly. She thought to herself, What do you mean by that expression? I was the one who was scared, okay?
