Chi Gui suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Outside, the bodyguard’s low voice could already be heard reporting, "It’s the old village chief."
The old village chief?
He was coming to find her in the middle of the night, could it be that Granny Zhang had a problem?
Chi Gui hurriedly threw off the covers and got out of bed, put on her slippers, and walked outside.
She had felt that although Granny Zhang seemed to be in good spirits when she visited her that afternoon, her complexion was not normal, which was why she had wanted to ask Academician Wu to have a look.
She hadn’t expected trouble to arise so soon.
There were no street lights in the village, and in the dead of night, everything outside was pitch dark, with only the old village chief’s flashlight shining frighteningly bright.
Chi Gui went to open the door; the old village chief grabbed her hand and, as if clutching a lifeline, dragged her outside urgently, "Miss Chi, I don’t know what’s happened to my old lady, but she suddenly fell unconscious! Please come quickly and take a look for me!"
For over a year, Chi Gui had been sending medicine on time to Granny Zhang, which had been very effective, and the old village chief had a lot of trust in Chi Gui.
Additionally, having heard a few days ago that she had gone to the medical academy, the old village chief’s trust had grown even stronger.
Tonight, when trouble occurred, his first reaction was to look for Chi Gui.
The night was dark, the road slippery, tough to navigate; Chi Gui, afraid that the old village chief might fall, quickly supported him and comforted him with her words, "Village Chief Grandpa, don’t worry, I know the path. I’ll go ahead, and you follow slowly."
Having said that, she gave a signal to the bodyguard not far behind her and then let go of the old village chief, hurrying toward the village chief’s house.
The old village chief, anxious as his house was on fire, but hindered by his aged and no longer nimble legs, lost sight of Chi Gui after only a few steps.
The commotion wasn’t small, and Aunt Wang’s house was next to Miss Chi’s grandmother’s house, which also woke her up.
When Aunt Wang came out and saw the old village chief in such a state, she was immediately startled and quickly woke up Wang lululu and Wang Shuai in the house, instructing them to head over first to see what the situation was, while she herself supported the old village chief’s arm, to prevent him from falling.
Wang Lulu and Wang Shuai were groggy from sleep, but upon hearing Aunt Wang’s orders, they also hurriedly made their way to the old village chief’s house.
Chi Gui walked fast; she was the first to arrive at the old village chief’s house.
The village chief had left in a hurry and hadn’t locked the door; Chi Gui went straight in, walked to the bedroom, and saw Granny Zhang lying in bed with her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.
She frowned, went over, pressed around Granny Zhang’s head, and checked other parts too before slowly letting out a breath of relief.
From what she could see, Granny Zhang was just in an ordinary faint, nothing serious.
However, the cause of the fainting had to be determined by a full examination at the hospital.
Chi Gui applied a special technique to press on a few major acupoints around Granny Zhang’s head, and after a few tries, a faint sound came from Granny Zhang’s throat as she slowly woke up.
Seeing Chi Gui, she looked stunned for a moment, and then smiled kindly, "Miss Chi, what brings you to my house? Are you too scared to sleep alone at night?" Google seaʀᴄh NovєlFіre.net
With that, she patted the space beside her, "Don’t be afraid, Granny will sleep with you."
Chi Gui’s eyes instantly grew a little sore.
When she was a child, and her grandmother occasionally went out for ten days or half a month, Chi Gui would eat at the old village chief’s house, and Granny Zhang, worrying that she’d be frightened to sleep alone, would hold her to sleep.
Now, Granny Zhang had just woken up, still not quite clear-headed, but her first reaction was to take care of her.
Chi Gui calmed her emotions, smiled and took Granny Zhang’s hand, just about to speak, when the door was violently pushed open.
Wang Lulu and Wang Shuai rushed in and saw Chi Gui holding Granny Zhang’s hand; Wang Lulu’s face instantly changed, and she shouted, "Chi Gui, let go of Granny Zhang! We don’t know the patient’s current condition; what if your action aggravates her illness?"
