"Caiyun, get up first." I frowned: "You have the determination to kneel before me, but do you have the determination to rebel against them?"
Caiyun was stunned: "Rebel against whom?"
"Anyone who tries to stop you from getting treatment for your son, you should fight back. Do you really need to ask me that?" I was speechless. "Besides, if you're not determined, what if I help you and offend the whole village, and then you turn around and blame me?"
The colorful clouds remained silent.
“Caiyun, I’m not your tool. You want to treat your son’s illness, which is out of maternal love. I’m helping you out of kindness, but you can’t use me and think you’re not wrong. I haven’t even asked you for money or anything like that. I think you understand.” I looked at her coldly.
Some things she still has to fight for herself.
What good would it do me to help her?
What about next time?
Caiyun looked at me nervously: "Is there really no way?"
I shook my head.
"Professor Shen, I'm sorry to have disturbed you." Caiyun turned and left.
I sighed.
Dai Chen'an walked over: "I thought you were going to help her this time."
"I can't help." I explained, "Hejia Village is too complicated, everyone there is a swindler, I have to be careful."
"You think she's lying to you?" Dai Chen'an asked in surprise.
“She didn’t come to see me yesterday.” I sneered. “She didn’t even call, but after the incident in the village, she’s suddenly become so eager to find me. There’s definitely something wrong with her.”
"What if she really wants your help?" Dai Chen'an handed her a bottle of water.
I unscrewed the cap and took a sip: "Then she needs to be even more determined. After all, treating this kind of disease is not something that can be done overnight. If she wants to bring her son out for treatment, she will inevitably quarrel with her family. I can't be the one to stick my neck out; it's not my business."
Dai Chen'an shrugged: "Speaking of which, the people in Hejia Village are really problematic. When I was collecting their DNA yesterday, I found that many of them have a habit of lying. I don't understand. Some of them are already so sick, yet they are still lying. They don't think about themselves at all."
I said, "It's just a matter of habit; what the superiors do, the subordinates follow."
Dai Chen'an gave a helpless smile.
Dai Chen'an and I walked back.
Jiang Miao walked over with a middle-aged man.
"Professor Shen, the village chief needs your help," Jiang Miao said.
I walked over and asked, "Village chief, what is it?"
“Professor Shen, I have a friend who is about my age. He injured his leg when he was young and has been bedridden ever since. He was the first college student in our village, but now he is paralyzed at home. I would like to ask you to help him.” The village chief said with a simple and honest expression.
"Jiang Miao brought a first-aid kit, let's go take a look," I said.
“I’ll go with you. It’s a man, so it’ll be more convenient for me to go,” Dai Chen’an said.
I laughed and said, "Team Leader Dai, why are you being sexist?"
"That's not what I meant," Dai Chen'an said awkwardly.
"Just kidding, let's go." I asked the village chief to lead the way.
On the way, I asked about Hejia Village.
The village chief gets angry whenever Hejia Village is mentioned: "Hejia Village is a bunch of liars. Let me tell you, no one in the surrounding villages likes the people from their village. They don't even consider them when looking for a wife or son-in-law!"
"That's not necessarily true. I think Hejia Village is thriving, with a lot of children," I said.
The village chief looked embarrassed for a moment, then said, "That's not necessarily true."
"Village chief, do you have a grudge against the people of Hejia Village?" I asked.
The village chief glanced at me and said, "It wasn't me, it was my friend. His leg was broken by the people from Hejia Village."
I became even more curious: "Why?"
"For the sake of dating." The village chief looked very angry: "My friend is also stubborn. He just likes that crazy woman from Hejia Village. If it weren't for him, with his education and ability at the time, he would have become a high-ranking official long ago."
"The crazy woman you're talking about is He Xi?" I asked, puzzled.
“He Ya,” the village chief said, “that He Xi also likes my friend, but unfortunately my friend thinks she’s empty-headed.”
I became increasingly curious.
After walking for about ten minutes, we stopped in front of a house.
The house is new.
“My friend used to live in terrible conditions, but thankfully the government helped build him a new house.” The village chief smiled happily. “Even the main road in our village was built by the government, making it much more convenient for the children to go to school and get around.”
The village chief had a genuinely happy smile on his face.
"Zhuang Yan," the village chief called out as he entered the courtyard, "I've brought the doctor."
"Wang Tongzhou, what are you doing? I already told you I'm not going to see a doctor." Zhuang Yan's voice came from inside the house.
I looked at the village chief, and I was surprised to find that his name was quite nice.
“What do you know!” Wang Tongzhou explained, “She’s an expert; she’s treated many patients like you.”
"Treatment costs money, and I don't want to cause you any more trouble. You should take your people and leave now," Zhuang Yan said sternly.
"You should see the doctor first!" Wang Tongzhou lifted the curtain and beckoned us to come in.
Dai Chen'an and I are ready.
After all, the places where patients who are bedridden for years live will inevitably have some odor.
Surprisingly, Zhuang Yan's room was quite clean and didn't have a strong odor.
What surprised me even more was that Zhuang Yan was dressed neatly and cleanly, and his hair was obviously combed. He had deep-set features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and must have been a handsome man when he was young.
“This is Professor Shen,” Wang Tongzhou said. “Don’t let his young age fool you, he’s incredibly capable. Zhuang Yan, listen to me this once, let’s have him treat you, maybe he can help you stand up again.”
Zhuang Yan said helplessly, "What good would it do if I stood up, since we're in the same boat?"
He has lived through a full thirty years.
“At least you can do what you want to do,” Wang Tongzhou said. “I heard that woman, like her sister, has gone mad. Don’t you think this is retribution?”
"Stop talking." Zhuang Yan glanced at me. "Professor Shen, I've been paralyzed for many years and can't be cured. Don't waste your time on me. Go and save others."
“Mr. Zhuang, let me take a look first. I’ve treated patients with more complicated cases than yours.” I stepped forward and lifted the blanket.
Zhuang Yan's face immediately turned red.
He wasn't wearing anything underneath.
I looked at his legs and examined them carefully.
Dai Chen'an also came over: "How is it?"
“There’s something wrong.” I frowned. “Something’s not right with these bones.”
After I finished speaking, I pulled the blanket over myself and asked, "What did the doctor say back then?"
Zhuang Yan was on the operating table at the time and didn't know.
Wang Tongzhou said, "The doctor said the bone was broken and had to be set, but there was no guarantee that it would be like before the accident. But I didn't expect that after the surgery, he couldn't stand up."
"What about the films you shot back then?" I asked again.
Wang Tongzhou found it immediately; he was very familiar with the place.
After watching it, Dai Chen'an and I both felt a little heavy-hearted.
“Mr. Zhuang, if you want treatment, can you come back with us?” I asked.
"Where did you go?" Zhuang Yan asked.
“Xinjing City,” I replied.
"No, I'm not going!" Zhuang Yan was very disgusted.
