"Hahaha!" Xiao Zimo burst into laughter, clapping his hands as if in a good mood.
"Didn't expect this, really didn't expect it. To encounter soone skilled in surgery here! If you co to our place, you'll surely beco a top-notch doctor!"
Xiao Zimo paused and asked, "Xiao Han, where do you co from exactly?"
"Oh, that..." Xiao Han teased, bouncing away from Xiao Zimo's gaze, "Since you're so clever, why don't you try guessing yourself?"
Watching Xiao Han disappear, Xiao Zimo chuckled, "Which man walks like you?"
But in the next mont, his smile vanished as he looked down at his legs, muttering, "No matter how you walk, it's better than not being able to walk at all."
...
The next day, news of Xiao Zimo performing a cesarean section to save Auntie Wang and her child spread throughout Lianhua Village.
If it weren't for the well-being of Auntie Wang's daughter-in-law and grandson, no one would believe it.
When Older Xiao heard the news while having lunch, his chopsticks dropped in astonishnt.
Older Xiao's expression beca peculiar, and Xiao Qi, beside him, asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Nothing..." Older Xiao stood up, "I'll go to the isolation shed to check on today's situation."
"Grandpa!" Xiao Qi grabbed his arm, "There are so many people infected over there. Don't go if it's not necessary! You're old and can't afford to be exposed to this disease."
"It's fine, I won't go in. Just going to ask Xiao Gongzi about the situation."
Older Xiao shook off Xiao Qi's hand and walked out.
Knowing he cared about Lianhua Village, Xiao Qi didn't stop him.
At the entrance of the isolation shed, Liu Yan stopped Older Xiao, "Grandpa Xiao, Xiao Gongzi said that people without symptoms should not approach the isolation shed."
"I need to talk to Xiao Gongzi."
"Let call Xiao Gongzi for you."
Liu Yan entered the isolation shed, and after a while, Xiao Zimo ca out, pushing a wheelchair.
"Older Xiao, what's the matter?"
"Xiao Gongzi, can we talk privately?"
Xiao Zimo glanced at Older Xiao and whispered, "Sure."
Xiao Zimo pushed the wheelchair, following Older Xiao to a massive yellow horn tree.
Looking at the tree, Xiao Zimo's eyes darkened. When he left Lianhua Village, this tree was not as tall; now it stood majestic.
"I heard you perford a cesarean section for Auntie Wang yesterday," Older Xiao inquired.
"Yes."
Older Xiao scrutinized him, "Why did you perform the cesarean section?"
"Older Xiao, why do you think I perford the cesarean section?" Xiao Zimo asked, looking back at him.
"Do you... know Xiao Heng?" Older Xiao cautiously asked.
Xiao Zimo chuckled, "Didn't expect Older Xiao still rembers Xiao Heng. Yes, I know him. Is he still alive?"
"Whether he lives or not, does it matter to you? Haven't they been driven out of Lianhua Village long ago?" Xiao Zimo's tone was devoid of emotion.
"I..." Older Xiao choked up, unsure of how to respond. Suddenly, sothing dawned on him, and he looked at Xiao Zimo in astonishnt.
"Could it be... you're Xiao Heng??"
Xiao Zimo paused, no longer hiding his identity, and looked at him. "Grandpa, long ti no see."
"Is it really you?" Older Xiao approached him, scrutinizing his face carefully.
When Xiao Zimo and his father left Lianhua Village, he was only five or six years old, and there was quite a difference in his appearance now. Older Xiao, being aged, couldn't recognize him.
"It's ."
"Then, where is your father? Why didn't he co back?" Older Xiao asked hurriedly.
"My father passed away long ago." Xiao Zimo looked at Older Xiao. "Grandpa, when you drove us out of Lianhua Village back then, did you ever consider this possibility? Now, he has repaid one life for another."
Older Xiao was stunned, and after a mont, he uttered three words, "...I'm sorry..."
Older Xiao hung his head, stooping as if he aged several years in an instant.
Older Xiao and Xiao Zimo's grandfather were blood brothers, with Older Xiao being the elder brother and Xiao Zimo's grandfather being the younger.
However, Xiao Zimo's grandfather passed away early, and Xiao Zimo's mother also tragically died during childbirth, leaving him orphaned.
His father was originally a doctor but couldn't overco the grief of his wife's death. He imrsed himself in dical books and the pharmacy, obsessed with his dical skills. Xiao Zimo grew up almost entirely surrounded by various dicines.
So, his blood was different from ordinary people's, capable of detoxifying various poisons.
At that ti, Older Xiao's son, Xiao Zimo's uncle, helped him a lot, and Older Xiao was also good to him.
But everything changed drastically after Xiao Zimo's uncle tragically passed away, which was related to Xiao Zimo's father because Xiao Zimo's uncle died when he accompanied Xiao Zimo's father to the mountains to collect herbs, and unfortunately fell off a cliff.
...
Thinking of childhood matters, Xiao Zimo felt that there was no need to dwell on who was right or wrong.
He pushed the wheelchair away from the yellow horn tree. "Grandpa, rest assured, I will do my best to cure the epidemic in Lianhua Village."
Watching Xiao Zimo's figure, Older Xiao couldn't help but wipe away tears. Back then, his son's accident happened while helping Xiao Zimo's father collect herbs. He couldn't accept it for a while, hence harbored deep hatred toward them. But after more than a decade, Xiao Zimo and his father were still his relatives, descendants of his younger brother. He couldn't help but feel so regret.
Just as Xiao Zimo returned to the isolation shed, he encountered Xiao Han, who was about to go out to find him.
"Xiao Zimo, Older Liu's condition is getting worse. The needles I've administered aren't working anymore. You need to go and see!"
Xiao Han imdiately pushed his wheelchair to Older Liu's place, while Xiao Zimo's golden thread flew out and wrapped around Older Liu's wrist.
Frowning slightly, he said, "We can only try bloodletting therapy. Hopefully, he can hold on until Yuan Zhan returns with the dicine."
"Yeah, transportation here is just too inconvenient!" Xiao Han couldn't help but sigh.
...
In recent days, the number of sick people has continued to increase.
Xiao Zimo estimated that the number of patients would reach its peak in five days.
The two of them were so busy in the isolation shed that they hardly had ti to eat or sleep.
Liu Yan and so young people from the village also volunteered to help in the isolation shed.
Only then did Xiao Han have ti to rest for a while, lying on the desk.
When Xiao Zimo ca to find her, he found her asleep on the table.
He didn't want to disturb her, but inadvertently saw Xiao Han drooling...
The saliva flowed onto the dical records on the table, wetting a large piece of paper.
Xiao Zimo: "..."
Xiao Zimo originally wanted to leave directly, but he stopped when he pushed the wheelchair to the door.
He turned back and carefully stared at Xiao Han's face, amused by her appearance, "Quite delicate looking..."
He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and reached out, gently wiping the saliva from the corner of Xiao Han's mouth.
"Hmm... Pig trotters, so fragrant... so delicious..." Xiao Han seed to be dreaming, randomly grabbing Xiao Zimo's hand and biting it.
Xiao Zimo frowned at being bitten and tried to pull his hand back.
"Don't... don't take away my pig trotters!"
Xiao Han held Xiao Zimo's hand, rubbing, kissing, and nibbling.
Xiao Zimo: "..."
When Liu Yan ca in, she happened to see this scene.
She was stunned at the door, watching the sowhat ambiguous actions of the two, as if thunderstruck!
Big Brother Xiao was actually kissing Xiao Young Master's hand???
