Chapter 128: Chapter 127: Famous Orthopedic Doctor

Wang Xue finally managed to pull herself together and returned to the Educated Youth Corps, only to discover that there was not a single person at home.

She was a bit dazed, searching inside and out with wide eyes, confirming that indeed there was not a single soul around.

By the kitchen side, there was a basin of soil-covered string beans, with a few scattered on the floor, still not picked up.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Xue felt somewhat at a loss.

Cluelessly, she picked up the string beans, then had no idea what she should do next. Standing in the courtyard, she felt utterly helpless and began to question her life.

Just then, a figure covered in mud and grass stumbled in.

Seeing a living person, Wang Xue’s eyes lit up as she approached him, "Fu Aiguo, what happened to you? Where has everyone gone?"

Fu Aiguo’s lips were tightly sealed, one hand pressing against his right thigh, head lowered without speaking.

Only when Wang Xue walked closer did he finally raise his head.

A bloody gash from a tree branch was on his face, about an inch long, still oozing blood.

Wang Xue gasped in fright, instinctively wanting to step back, but Fu Aiguo grabbed her wrist.

"What are you..."

Before Wang Xue could finish her sentence, Fu Aiguo lunged forward, covering her mouth with his other dirty hand.

Wang Xue looked at him in terror, tears uncontrollably welling up.

"Wang Xue, Wang Xue..." Fu Aiguo stared into her eyes, a frightening darkness twinkling there, "Don’t be afraid, don’t yell. I’ll take you away, I know you’ve had enough of this place...while they are all away, let’s head out quickly."

His tone was unusually calm, yet it reminded Wang Xue how insane he was right now.

Wang Xue shivered and shook her head, forcefully trying to free her restrained hand.

But she was not Wen Lan, how could she possibly escape from a man’s grip?

Fu Aiguo watched her struggle, and weirdly smiled, "We’ve been together for so many years, of course, I know what you’re thinking... Look, last time I gave you a chance to try one last time, but you were useless... so I had to find every way to help you..."

"Look, Xiao Xue, I am the one who understands you the most, the one who treats you the best."

Wang Xue’s shoulders began to tremble.

"Last time."

That was when he told her Li Xiaoshan "gave" Lin Nianhe things.

Wang Xue was terrified, she held her breath and with all her strength, freed her handcuffed hands.

Without bothering to wipe her mouth, she quickly took several steps back.

Waving her hands frantically, she stuttered, "Fu, Fu Aiguo, what do you want to do? Where are you taking me? Were they all deceived by you? It’s almost end of work, don’t mess around!"

As Wang Xue spoke, her voice was timid, and she couldn’t help feeling terrified.

She feared what Fu Aiguo might do to her and also feared him spreading the word about past matters... If Lin Nianhe found out she had gossiped about her before, wouldn’t that wreak havoc on her?

"Ha ha ha..."

Fu Aiguo laughed, his face trembling a bit due to the injury, looking particularly terrifying.

"Xiao Xue, what’s all this? I like you so much, how could I possibly hurt you? Haven’t you always wanted to leave? Come with me, I’ll take you away, let’s go abroad and live a good life!"

Wang Xue stared at him incredulously, hardly believing her ears.

Is this person crazy?

Go abroad? What gives him the right!

Meeting Wang Xue’s skeptical gaze, Fu Aiguo pulled out a shiny wristwatch from his pocket, flauntingly checking the time.

Wang Xue’s eyes grew even wider.

Fu Aiguo never mentioned his family situation, but from observing his food and clothing over the past few years, it’s not hard to deduce that he comes from a very ordinary background.

What on earth has this madman done?

"Damn, no time left."

Fu Aiguo muttered, looking up to see Wang Xue still stiff in place. He sighed and murmured as if talking to himself, "I really didn’t want to treat you like this, but... well, whatever, I’m doing this for your good. You’ll understand once we get out..."

He then grabbed the firewood cutter from the corner.

...

"huff... huff..."

Yu Xiangqin was fiercely riding a bicycle, beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

Miao Hongqi sat on the back seat, leaning forward worriedly, "Xiangqin, shall I pedal for a while?"

"Drop it, you’ve just been discharged from the hospital, what can you do?" Yu Xiangqin casually remarked.

Miao Hongqi was used to Yu Xiangqin’s way of speaking. She instinctively withdrew her head, not saying anything further.

Beside them was Zhuang Shu, the barefoot doctor from Nine-miles Team.

Zhuang Shu was thirty-seven, prematurely grey-haired, and had somewhat of a physician’s demeanor. It’s said that he previously worked as an assistant in a pharmacy, later learning some Western medicine at the clinic, always handling minor headaches and pains with a shot of gentamicin.

His bone-setting skills were learned from his pharmacy days. He had set Old Man He’s leg recently, and years before that, he set Accountant Zhao’s leg, with a success rate of 33.33%.

Perhaps this success rate made Zhuang Shu unsure himself, as this time, he not only brought splints and gauze but also his all-purpose gentamicin.

As they were about to reach Ten Miles Team, Zhuang Shu gripped the bicycle handlebars and straightened his back.

Today, he was determined to redeem himself at Ten Miles Team!

"So, who exactly broke their leg?"

Seeing the Educated Youth walking normally around the yard, Zhuang Shu’s brow furrowed.

"Wow, what brings Doctor Zhuang here?" Wang Dong asked in astonishment, quickly stepping forward, "Doctor Zhuang, no one broke their leg, someone gave you wrong information!"

Yu Xiangqin and Miao Hongqi were baffled, especially seeing Sun Guanghui standing aside.

They were about to ask when Zhuang Shu became impatient, "What? No one broke their leg? Are you kidding me?"

Wang Dong touched his nose, "That’s not exactly it."

Zhuang Shu reached out a hand, shaking it agitatedly, "No, no, you can’t do things like this, I must get my consultation fee! Ten cents!"

Wang Dong furrowed his brow, "Are you crazy? Registration at the clinic is only five cents."

"But the clinic is where you bring patients, I came here on my own, that’s not the same!" Zhuang Shu rolled his eyes, "Hurry up, otherwise I’ll have to take it up with your team leader."

"Fine, fine!"

Wang Shumei, frustrated, pushed through the crowd and tossed ten cents into Zhuang Shu’s hand.

"Hey, Wang Shumei, what are you doing? He’s just—"

"That’s enough! Is now the time to argue with him? Hurry and find Nianhe and Wang Xue!" Wang Shumei’s voice trembled with anger.

She and Wen Lan had followed Fu Aiguo up the mountain, and not long after, Fu Aiguo had accidentally stepped into a hollow and rolled down the slope.

They wanted to go down and look for him but hadn’t walked far when six carefree Mu Tous came down the mountain.

Only then they learned that no one had fallen into a trap or got hurt; Fu Aiguo said his stomach hurt and he ran back first.

They had just returned minutes before Yu Xiangqin’s group, and just as they discovered Lin Nianhe and Wang Xue weren’t at the Educated Youth Corps and were about to look for them, Zhuang Shu blocked the door.

At this time, it’s not just about the ten cents anymore, even if he asked for more... it would be easier to let the furious Wen Lan punch him to relieve the anger.
