Chapter 492 Boys Need to Go Out and Gain More Experience
Aunt Wu understood immediately. She knew that "miracle doctors" like Xiuying often didn't want others present when they were giving patients intensive treatment. So, she quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll write the prescription right away." Then, she and Shi Liu turned and left the room.
Aunt Wu looked back at the child lying on the bed, breathing in less than out. She thought that since the child had met Xiuying, there was finally hope for his life, so she followed Shi Liu out.
When Xiuying and the black dog were alone in the room, Xiuying carefully examined the dog's wounds, noting that Aunt Wu had properly bandaged them. She reached out and touched his forehead, which was severely burned. However, the child's ability to persevere until now proved his strong will to survive.
Xiuying quickly opened the system and, after selecting it, bought cephalexin and fever-reducing medication. She carefully fed the medicine into the black dog's mouth. Thinking that after taking the medicine, the dog also needed to get enough nutrition, she bought a box of oral glucose, opened it, and fed the black dog a tube.
Before we knew it, it was already dawn. Everyone got up and went to the main room to have breakfast.
The new girls, Big Girl and Second Girl, quickly became friends with Little Six and Little Seven.
At the dinner table, Xiao Laoliu enthusiastically picked up some meat for Da Niu, "Dan Niu, eat more. You look as thin as a bamboo pole."
Little Lao Qi was also busy picking up some food for Erniu, "Erniu, eat more too. You'll be cute if you grow up to be white and plump."
The two sisters looked at the skinny eldest and second daughters, as if they saw their former selves.
Yang Qingfeng was sitting nearby, sipping porridge from his bowl. He listened to the children's conversation and said, "Little Six, Little Seven, I'm leaving the eldest and second daughters in your care. You must treat them well."
Little Laoliu nodded quickly and patted his chest to assure: "Don't worry, Uncle Qingfeng, I was just worried that no one would play with me, now it's all good."
After hearing this, Little Seven looked at Little Six with dissatisfaction and asked, "Am I not a human being?"
Xiao Laoliu replied directly: "I'm tired of playing with you."
Xiuying walked quickly into the main hall, not even bothering to eat, and said to Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, after you finish your meal, come with me to the village chief's house."
When Qingfeng heard this, he picked up the bowl and drank the remaining porridge in one gulp. He wiped his mouth casually and said, "I'm done, sister. Let's go. Let's get down to business first."
Qingfeng knew that since he had food every day, this one wouldn't be a big deal. He noticed that Xiuying had been in Heigou's room since midnight and didn't come out until dawn. So he grabbed a white steamed bun and followed Xiuying out of the house.
As they walked along the road, Qingfeng handed the steamed bun to Xiuying and said with concern, "Sister, eat something to fill your stomach. Your health is the most important thing."
"Hmm," Xiuying replied, taking the bun and biting into it. She was truly starving, and only then did she truly feel that Qingfeng had changed a lot since his long journey, no longer as rigid and stubborn as before.
It seems that boys really need to go out and gain more experience and know more things in order to truly grow up. Otherwise, they will be no different from nerds who only know how to study.
The old village chief had already learned what happened last night from his daughter-in-law, Wang Shufen. It was Wang Shufen who went to the old village chief's house when the gong sounded last night. As soon as she got home, she told her father-in-law everything she had witnessed.
Early in the morning, the village chief asked his daughter-in-law to prepare the tea that Xiuying usually liked to drink, and waited for Xiuying to come in the main hall.
Wang Shufen, who was standing in the yard, saw Xiuying and Qingfeng from afar and immediately waved and greeted them: "Sister Xiuying, Qingfeng!"
Xiuying walked over quickly and held Wang Shufen's hand affectionately, "Sister Shufen, I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning."
Wang Shufen smiled and led Xiuying into the main hall, saying, "Why bother you? I've been looking forward to you coming to chat with me every day. Come in, the tea is ready for you, and my father-in-law is waiting inside."
As soon as Xiuying entered the house, the old village chief, who had been a little tired, suddenly perked up, sat up straight, and greeted her with a friendly face: "Xiuying, please sit down. Qingfeng, please sit down too. Don't be so formal."
Wang Shufen filled the tea she had prepared and gently placed it in front of Xiuying. Xiuying quickly took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, Sister Shufen."
Wang Shufen immediately spotted the half-eaten steamed bun in Xiuying's hand. Thinking of the tense and chaotic scene last night, she knew Xiuying hadn't even had time to eat breakfast. After pouring tea for Qingfeng, Wang Shufen turned around and walked briskly towards the kitchen without saying a word.
The old village chief slowly turned his gaze towards Qingfeng and asked earnestly, "My child, what happened to you in Jizhou? I heard you rushed back in the middle of the night last night, with a blood-soaked baby lying on the ox cart."
Xiuying accidentally choked while eating a steamed bun. After taking a sip of tea, she felt much better. She looked at Qingfeng and said, "Qingfeng, tell the village chief everything that happened in Jizhou. We need to discuss it quickly so we can make our next plan."
Yang Qingfeng sighed slowly, "After Afan and I arrived in Jizhou, we found that the economy there was prosperous, prices were quite high, and the shops seemed to be doing a booming business, not as the outside world had said.
In Jizhou City, there's a place called Juxian Restaurant. It's a truly magnificent place, spanning two floors, divided into inner and outer courtyards. It's undoubtedly the most luxurious restaurant in Jizhou. But who would have guessed that this restaurant was originally owned by the child I brought back?
The black-hearted Jizhou prefect not only swallowed up his family's property, but also harmed his family, and forcibly turned the Juxian Restaurant into his own private property.
That's not all. Many shops in the city have fallen into the hands of the Jizhou prefect. It's no exaggeration to say that most of Jizhou's wealth has gone into the pockets of that corrupt official. The few remaining shops, like Mr. Chen's jewelry store, can only barely make ends meet and operate with difficulty.
The old village chief listened quietly and couldn't help but sigh deeply. He had lived for so many years and experienced many things in life, so naturally he knew the ins and outs of it well.
He said slowly, "It seems that the official is determined to kill the child. After all, only the dead can keep secrets forever. Now that you know the secrets behind the Juxian Restaurant, the official will not let you go either. He will definitely want to take your lives as well to prevent future troubles."
Yang Qingfeng quickly interjected, "Don't worry, Village Chief. That corrupt official doesn't even know our names. In his eyes, he probably just thinks we're two ordinary businessmen from out of town. Besides, when we rescued Black Dog, we deliberately changed into women's clothing, so it should be difficult for him to guess our true identities."
