The doctor came out soon, and Zhuang Keqing and the village chief went to greet him. He was relieved when he learned that Shen Ling only had some external injuries.
"The injuries on the legs are not serious, but the wounds on the palms of the hands may have injured the muscles and bones, and they were not treated in time. Even if they are cured in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to write again."
The doctor shook his head sadly.
He had just seen clearly that although the young man's hands had some small scars, there were no calluses. Judging from his appearance, he was not someone who was accustomed to farm work. Instead, his hands had thin calluses from scholars who had been holding pens all year round. Literary and hyphenated.
Zhuang Keqing looked at the closed door, thinking of the right hand that the other party had hidden after saving her the day before, and her heart became clear. But at this time, she did not say anything, she just took the doctor's prescription and took out her wallet to pay for the consultation. gold.
Shen Ling was lying on the bed.
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, the annoying cicadas chirped one after another, and the heat flowed into the hut through the wide open windows. It should have been a hot and depressing environment, but with his eyes closed, he felt peaceful in his heart.
The faint chatter outside the house stopped at some point.
With the sound of the door opening "squeaking", he felt a breeze coming into the house, bringing the lightness and liveliness of summer to his bed.
"The doctor said you're fine. Just rest more and you'll be fine soon."
Shen Ling opened his eyes. The girl in front of the bed saw a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, her cheeks were slightly red, and she had a friendly and soft smile on her lips.
As a man, even though he is sick, it is really rude to lie down and respond to other people's concerns. Shen Ling thought this and was about to get up. However, he was suppressed by a pair of firm hands.
"I told you to get more rest." Zhuang Keqing was dissatisfied that the other party was still showing off at this time, "Just listen to me."
"girl."
Now that I have left the Shen family, you don't have to keep that ridiculous promise just for the sake of a word from the Zhou family.
Please forgive me for my inappropriate thoughts yesterday.
I don't deserve you.
Shen Ling opened his mouth. He had a lot to say, but looking into those clean eyes, whether it was because he was greedy for this short-term care or was controlled by the hidden longing in his heart, he couldn't say anything in the end.
"You and I are already engaged, so there is no need to be so unfamiliar."
Even though he had expected it thousands of times, he never expected to get such an answer. The young man, who had always been calm and calm, was stunned, and there was a moment of confusion on his face.
Not hearing the other party's answer, Zhuang Keqing tilted his head and glanced slightly with angry eyes, "Do you want to go back on your word?"
"No, it's not."
He subconsciously denied it, but the girl immediately took the opportunity.
"That's good. Now the whole village knows the friendship between you and me. It's better not to disappoint them."
The village chief was pouring tea for the doctor outside. He just saw the girl getting into the back room when he wasn't paying attention. However, the doctor was still sitting in the main room, so he couldn't go in and take someone out. He could only prick up his ears and listen inside. movement.
As a result, he heard this.
This girl is really shameless!
There is no such thing as an unmarried girl! In the decades he has lived, he has never met one.
The doctor had obviously heard it. These two old men, who were over a hundred years old together, were serving tea and pouring water, with their eyes wandering, which was really embarrassing.
"You should rest first. I have been busy with some things recently. When you recover from your injury, we will get married."
Zhuang Keqing shook off these words and leaned down to tuck the thin blanket around Shen Ling. Regardless of how entangled he was, he walked out of the back room.
She closed the door carefully, and when she turned around, she saw two old men looking at her with straight eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.
Why are you looking at me like this?
Zhuang Keqing stretched his head and looked at the sun hanging high outside, which was not stingy in distributing its own heat.
Could it be that the weather was too hot, giving these two old gentlemen some signs of heat stroke?
When the village chief saw that the girl was still acting ignorant, he instantly realized that not only his face, but also the dignity of Erlizi Village had to be lost.
His eyes moved from Zhuang Keqing back to the doctor, his eyes filled with tears: You must never forget what you heard today.
The doctor didn't understand. He had been traveling all morning, but he had never felt as tired as he was now. He could only give a sympathetic look to the village chief's pleading eyes, and then nodded heavily. .
Since there was nothing going on at Shen Ling's side, Zhuang Keqing felt confident.
She had originally planned to go to Wang's house to see Meimei, but it was noon now, and she couldn't let the doctor work when he was hungry, so he had to eat first.
Lunch was made by the village chief's wife. It consisted of ordinary farm vegetables, soup made from bean curds, and multigrain rice. It was quite a good meal.
"Shall we leave now?"
After eating, the doctor refused to rest. They still had a family to see. If they didn't hurry up, they might not be able to get back to Daxing Village in the dark.
Zhuang Keqing had no objection. She originally wanted to tell the village chief about the Wang family, but now she couldn't find a good opportunity. She thought about it next time, so she said hello, carried the doctor's medicine box on her back, and left without looking back. .
"This girl came in a hurry and left easily." The village chief's wife liked such a quick temper, so she covered her mouth and joked.
But when the village chief looked at the girl's leaving figure, her shocking words just echoed repeatedly in his mind, and he felt extremely helpless.
It's so straightforward and quick, and doesn't have any girlish reserve at all!
…
The Wang family was pleasantly surprised by the doctor's unexpected visit.
Seeing Zhuang Keqing standing with the doctor, Wang Da almost knelt down in front of the girl who was young enough to be his daughter.
In just two days, he seemed to have aged ten years.
It was obvious that the doctor had administered the injection yesterday and Meimei woke up, but she fell into coma again not long after that. During this period, she could not feed her even though she had taken the medicine.
Mrs. Lin resented her mother-in-law, but she hated her husband even more. Although her anger had softened when she saw that Wang Da had invited a doctor, she could not control her resentment because of Meimei's subsequent coma. After seeing Wang Da, The big eyes are no longer as gentle and submissive as before.
At this time, she only gave Wang Da an indifferent glance. She walked past the other people standing outside and only asked the doctor to hurry up and see her daughter.
The doctor went into the house to see Meimei, while Zhuang Keqing and the Wang brothers stayed in the main room.
Maybe he heard Mrs. Lin's cry outside, and then there was an old woman yelling and cursing from the west room.
"My old lady is lying down, why should I treat a worthless girl? I don't have the money to waste money at home!"
It was Aunt Wang.
Listening to the angry voice, this was only the second day after Wang San robbed the money, and she had already recovered. It would be better for the mother-in-law not to complain about her third son, but to stay here and think it was a waste of money for her granddaughter's medical treatment. Money.
Rao was Zhuang Keqing, another victim, and now they all sympathized with Wang Dalai.
Fortunately, this man who had always known only foolishness and filial piety became clearer after this experience. He did not react at all to his mother's incomprehensible yelling. He only stood nervously outside his daughter's room, frowning with a sad face, waiting. The doctor comes out.
