Fetching chapter list...

Now that the matter was discussed, there was no need to delay anymore. Lin Amo helped Zhou-ger and Lin Laogen as they headed home first, while Lin Tianbao ran barefoot to find the doctor they called ‘Uncle Li’ in the village.

Wu Qingyuan had wanted to help and lend his strength; however, Zhou-ger was a ger who was eligible for marriage, and it was not convenient for him to follow after them, as he had to follow the common customs here.

During this time, his attention has been on the ger named Lin Amo. It was not that he was easily fond of others, but that he thought this boy was very interesting. If other people were told they were ugly most of their lives, their personalities would become weak and quiet, but Lin Amo was the opposite, as his entire personality was very lively.

Despite having Lin Laogen as his father, Wu Qingyuan observed along the way that it was his ger, Lin Amo, who dominated the Lin family.

A very attractive trait.

Although his gaze was very vague and restrained, others would still feel it after feeling the stare of someone, so Lin Amo quickly noticed his gaze and turned his head back.

However, Wu Qingyuan did not look away, nodding at him with a generous smile, not conscious of being caught, but it made Lin Amo’s cheeks redden imperceptibly. It was the first time that a strange man saw that he was not annoyed while also smiling at him.

Although he was used to the staring eyes of others, all these eyes usually judged him about his appearance, so when Wu Qingyuan did not look at him with any disgust or contemptuous eyes, Lin Amo had a good impression of him in an instant, and while he still felt defensive against him, his wariness had lessened.

Lin Amo had never been an introvert, so once his wariness had lessened, he began to ask about Wu Qingyuan’s origins and for various information.

There was none of the reservation that a ger should have here. It seems that this was why Lin Laogen was so upset that he blamed his carelessness as a father. The older man couldn’t teach the child, so the child developed this temperament. Those who don’t know think he had the character of a naughty child.

Wu Qingyuan had no such thoughts, so when Lin Amo asked, he answered, and after a while, he became familiar with the other party.

“…It turned out to be like this. I have long heard that the sea was dangerous. I didn’t expect it to be like this. Then you were really lucky to survive. Don’t worry, my dad and I are very familiar with the nearby villages. When the need arises, I will also help you inquire about your matters. If you can’t find your relatives, you could live in our village. Although our Liushu Village is not rich, it is close to the county and easy to travel to….. “

Lin Amo, who has lived in the village all year round, has only ever been at the market, and his nature was as simple as most villagers. He sympathized with Wu Qingyuan after hearing what happened. Besides, because Wu Qingyuan showed no expression of disgust, he felt comforted in his heart and was very enthusiastic in helping him by providing him with ideas.

Lin Laogen also nodded and said that he could help him talk to the village chief when that time came.

The Lin family’s father and son were willing to help with the settlement, so naturally, he accepted. It would be better if there were more people to help. Wu Qingyuan quickly thanked them, finding himself becoming familiar with the Lin family.

They walked while talking, and soon they arrived at the Lin Family’s house.

“Brother Wu, this was my house…”

Lin Laogen brought Wu Qingyuan into a small farmyard.

The Lin family’s house was relatively good in Liushu Village. Although it was built more than a decade ago, it was still a solid tiled house, and the area surrounding it was large. However, the yearly flooding meant having to change roof tiles every year.

However, after entering the yard, Wu Qingyuan discovered that although the Lin family’s house was not small, there were also a lot of people in the family. The layout of the east and west sides housed the three families of the three brothers, a total of nine people.

Contradictions were naturally inevitable when there were this many people in the family. From just a few exchanges in the yard, as they said hello– who had a cold attitude and who had a warm attitude- he could already discern that the relationship between the Lin family was not so harmonious, but in general, like most families, there was friction regarding firewood, rice, oil, and salt, but there was no deep hatred.

Seeing Zhou-ger, who was being helped back by Lin Amo, the people in the yard took a breath and said, “That person has once again committed evil.”

Even the old lady of the Lin family, who has always disliked nosy people, couldn’t help but frown and say, “How heavy is the hand of that Zhou Laotai?” and hesitated when she heard Lin Amo say that he would take him in for a few days. She didn’t refuse, but she said, “I won’t be providing his rations.”

“I already know my responsibility towards him.”

The elder of the family nodded in agreement, and Zhou-ger was allowed to stay without hindrance. Lin Amo happily helped him into his house.
At this time, the one who went to find the village doctor, Lin Tianbao, the younger brother of Lin Amo, also came back, but he came back alone. Uncle Li, the only doctor in the village, was not at home, so he had to go to town if they wanted someone to attend to Zhou-ger’s injuries.

However, the time was late, and it would be night by the time they reached the town. All the shops in the town would be closed, the doctors in the medical clinic wouldn’t go to distant places to visit at night, and they could only wait until tomorrow. But Zhou-ger’s injury looked very serious. Who knows if it would kill him if they dragged it all night? Lin Amo was about to die of worry.

The ugly spots on his face were too scary, so the children in the village didn’t like to play with him. Only Zhou-ger had the best relationship with him, and they grew up together. When he was young, he fell into the river, and it was Zhou-ger who risked his life to save him.

Now that something had happened to Zhou-ger, he was already lying in bed with a fever and passed out. He was naturally worried and anxious. The medical conditions here were backward, and it was not uncommon for people to die from fever.

“Brother, don’t worry, Zhou-ger would be fine. I ran into Brother Dahzu on the road just now. Brother Dahzu has already gone to the next village to find a doctor…”

Lin Tianbao wanted to comfort his brother next to him, acting like a little adult.

The second daughter-in-law of the Lin family, named Wang, also found a bottle of wine and handed it over, “Amo, you could try this wine first to see if you could lower his temperature. If he goes on like this, he would die, and we would be burning incense papers for him.”

“Yes!”

These things were only understood by elders, so Lin Amo nodded and quickly put the wine on the cloth and wiped the face of Zhou-ger on the bed.

He didn’t know if it was because of the serious injury or the poor physical fitness of Zhou-ger, but his body temperature did not drop even a bit; instead, the fever got worse. The expressions of the people in the room were not very good. Even Lin Tianbao, who was only ten years old, knew that if the doctor did not come, it was unknown whether Zhou-ger would survive tonight.

Wu Qingyuan stood by and watched for a while, hesitated, and finally took out a fever-reducing medicine from his bag and handed it over.

“Try this. This was a special medicine that I got from an old genius doctor when I was traveling. It has a good effect on reducing the fever. Give him one to see. The doctor would probably not come for a while.”

He hadn’t just decided to hand over the medicine; rather, he had been thinking about it all this time.

Since the ancient people here have never been exposed to modern medicines and their bodies were not resistant to medicines, modern medicines would have a very good effect on the people here. It could be called a magical medicine that could cure the disease with one dose, and it was easy to cause trouble. People would either want to treat him as a god or treat him as a different kind.

You could help others, but only if you don’t endanger your safety.

But seeing Lin Amo’s anxious look, him almost crying from worry, and the thin ger named Zhou-ger on the bed, Wu Qingyuan’s strong resolve became weak.

The people in the room were at a loss. When they saw the medicine Wu Qingyuan took out, regardless of the strange appearance of the medicine, they had to try it out, as they had no other choice and were already desperate.

Similar to what Wu Qingyuan thought, modern antipyretics were very effective. Soon Zhou-ger’s complexion on the bed began to slowly recover, and Lin Amo suddenly exclaimed with joy, “He’s getting better!”

Lin Laogen and the others’ faces also showed joy, and it was good that this person was rescued.

“Uncle Lin, Lin-ger, quickly open the door, it’s me, Zhang Dazhu, I brought the doctor here…”

When they were rejoicing, a rough man’s voice suddenly sounded outside the Lin family’s yard.

There was another wave of joy on Lin Amo’s face, and he hurriedly called Lin Tianbao to open the door, and then another sturdy man with a loud voice, dragging an old man with a white beard and carrying a medicine box, ran in quickly.

“Zhang… Zhang Dazhu, you stinky boy, you… Could you slow down, I- I’m an old man, my body is not as strong as you young people!”

Because he ran too fast, the old doctor was almost out of breath, red-faced and shouting.

“We can’t be slow, uncle, help! You could help me care for Zhou-ger; if Zhou-ger is gone, I won’t live anymore…”

The brawny man called Zhang Dazhu pushed the doctor to the side of the bed with an anxious look and yelled at him to move quickly. The doctor had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Fortunately, while the injuries on Zhou-ger’s body looked scary, they were all skin traumas. The internal organs were not injured, and the high fever subsided. There was no major problem, but his overall condition was too bad, so he needed a good rest and recovery.

After taking the pulse, the old man looked at the scars on the face of Zhou’s arm and neck again, sighed, took out a paper and brush to write a prescription, stuffed it into Zhang Dazhu’s hand, and said some precautions before he hurried to pack his things and go home. His residence was in the next village, and he could only rush back.

As soon as the old man left, everyone was relieved after confirming that Zhou-ger was really fine.

Especially the strong man named Zhang Dazhu, who had wanted to stay with him, but this was the Lin family’s home, and the room was Lin Amo’s private room. He could not stay for long, so he could only reluctantly leave the prescription and a purse with silver in it. He passed it to Lin Amo and left after asking for their help.

Having been busy for so long, the light outside was dark, and dinner time was over. The old lady of the Lin family would not wait for the three in Lin Laogen’s family; she merely told the others in the family to eat their food and did not even leave the washing water for them.

The second family’s wife, Wang, wanted to leave a little for the others, but she couldn’t be the master of the house without separating. She was scolded for providing the wine just now, so Lin Laogen, his children, and his guest had to find a solution by themselves.

The three were accustomed to the practice of Lin Laotai and were too lazy to fight with her.

Letting Lin Laogen and Wu Qingyuan rest outside, Lin Amo and his younger brother went into the kitchen. When they came out, the two brothers had bowls with them, and from Lin Laogen’s bamboo tube they put in noodles full of green vegetables and a few wotou.

“Brother Wu, this bowl is for you.”

Lin Amo handed the bowl with the most noodles to Lin Laogen, and the bowl with the second most noodles to him; a pair of shining eyes curled toward him with a smile.
