Ma Biao came back to his senses. He didn’t expect Ye Ling to suddenly change the topic. He hesitated for a moment, but he really couldn’t refuse any of Ye Ling’s requests. “Okay, but there’s nothing much to see. Her condition isn’t very good.”
The two of them walked to the door of the woodshed. Ye Ling turned to look at
Ma Biao. “Wait for me. I’ll come out after I’m done.”
Ma Biao originally wanted to follow Ye Ling, but when he heard Ye Ling’s words, he stopped.
Ye Ling walked into the woodshed and gently closed the door. Then, she saw Ah Hui lying on a haystack, unconscious.
Ye Ling held Hui’s wrist and felt her pulse.
The situation was better than the last time!
Ye Ling couldn’t help but feel amazed.
After thinking about it, she guessed in her heart, “Could it be that after I came here last time, the desperate Ah Hui’s desire to live was ignited, so her body’s condition became better?”
Sometimes, patients who were determined to die would find it difficult to get better even if they were given the best medicine.
On the other hand, the situation would be the opposite for patients who had a desire to live.
Regardless of whether it was because of this or not, Ah Hui’s improvement was something to be happy about.
Ye Ling took out a silver needle and quickly stimulated a few acupuncture points. The unconscious Ah Hui quickly woke up.
Ma Biao was still outside the door. Ye Ling didn’t have much time to chat with
Ah Hui. She quickly stuffed a pill into Ah Hui’s palm and said, “Eat it tonight.”
Ah Hui gripped the pill tightly with her skinny fingers as if she was holding onto the last hope of her life.
Ye Ling patted Ah Hui’s hand and gave her a determined look. Then, she gently said, “Sleep for a while. When you wake up, you’ll be free.”
Ah Hui’s dry eyes glistened with tears. She opened her mouth, but because her vocal cords had been damaged when she shouted for help, she could not make any sound.
Ye Ling stood up and glanced at Ah Hui again before turning around and leaving the woodshed.
At the door, Ma Biao leaned against the wall and looked at the chicken coop not far away in boredom.
After Ye Ling came out, he hurried over. “How’s Ah Hui?”
Ye Ling shook her head regretfully. “The situation is indeed not good.”
Ma Biao smiled bitterly. “That’s true. In this situation, what other results can there be?”
Ye Ling was silent for a few seconds. “Comrade Ma Biao, don’t be too sad,” she said in a “regretful” tone.
This “comfort” was the most Ye Ling could offer to Ma Biao. Seeing that Ma Biao still wanted to say something, she immediately interrupted him. “It’s getting late, Comrade Ma Biao. I’ll take my leave first.”
“Ah, are you leaving already?” Ma Biao said subconsciously, his tone carrying a trace of disappointment and reluctance.
“I still have something to do in the pharmacy.” Ye Ling made up a random excuse and walked toward the door.
Ma Biao stood at the door and watched Ye Ling walk away. He was still a little depressed. He recalled every word he said to Ye Ling, and his heart was both sweet and nervous.
If Ye Ling didn’t have any feelings for him, then he naturally didn’t dare to imagine what would happen between him and a woman from the city like Ye Ling.
However, if Ye Ling had a good impression of him, then perhaps it was not impossible for the two of them to be together…
At the thought of this, Ma Biao felt his mouth go dry and his heart beat faster.
An hour after Ye Ling left, Aunt Mei and Mei Lian returned with a bamboo basket containing some beans.
Aunt Mei put down the basket, rubbed her sore waist, and complained.
During dinner, Aunt Mei noticed that Ma Biao seemed to be in a daze. She could not help but frown. “What’s wrong with you?”
“It’s nothing.” Ma Biao said perfunctorily.
Aunt Mei Imew her son very well. Ma Biao’s words made her even more certain that there was something wrong with Ma Biao. She raised her voice. “What’s the matter?!”
Ma Biao was a little speechless. He had already grown up, but his mother was still meddling in everything.
Ma Biao also knew that he couldn’t hide the fact that Ye Ling had come. There were many people living around, and someone might have seen Ye Ling when she came over. If Aunt Mei found out from others that Ye Ling had come, she might be even angrier.
“The pharmacy administrator from last time is here again,” Ma Biao sighed and said helplessly.
“That Ye Ling?” Aunt Mei frowned and asked.
Ma Biao nodded.
“What is that woman doing here again? Is she here to seduce you?” Aunt Mei said disdainfully.
Ma Biao’s face immediately turned red. He looked at his mother with dissatisfaction.. “Mom, what are you talking about?”
