222 What A Sweet Couple
Zhao Chuchu came out after operating on the village chief’s son. The sheriff immediately got up and looked at Zhao Chuchu.
“Chief, have someone carry your son to the room next door first. Then, when he wakes up, you can bring him back home,” Zhao Chuchu said directly to the village chief.
The village chief answered yes and told the family to carry his son to the room next door carefully.
Zhao Chuchu waited for them to go out and disinfect the room before letting the next patient in.
The sheriff was very nervous but did not dare check on the village chief’s eldest son’s condition in front of Zhao Chuchu. However, he kept straining his neck to see if he could find out anything.
Xie Heng saw the situation and said in a soft voice, “Sir, you can go and see. As long as you do not speak loudly and do not touch the patient, it’s fine.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
The sheriff hurriedly went over to take a closer look at the village chief’s son’s condition.
After all, he was a person who worked in the governing bureau. It would only take him a glance for him to determine whether the person was alive or dead. Now he knew that the village chief’s son was just unconscious.
The cut on his abdomen had been bandaged.
Although he was curious about what the wound looked like, the sheriff did not dare to see it.
“Sir, can you please leave first? Mrs. Xie said that people who have undergone surgery need time to rest. So sorry, sir.” The village chief was worried about his son and mustered up the courage to ask the sheriff to go out.
Without saying anything, the sheriff turned around and left the room.
He thought about it and decided to stay and see if what Zhao Chuchu said about opening the belly was really able to save the person. At the same time, he had someone go back to the county office to inform the assistant of the county magistrate about it.
After all, the assistant of the county magistrate of Yuyun County was more reliable than the magistrate.
Otherwise, the magistrate would probably freak out upon hearing the news. By then, if anyone brought this up, he could ask the Thousand Battalion to have Xie Heng and Zhao Chuchu arrested.
In fact, the sheriff was also afraid, but he decided to make a bet on it.
After all, he was from Yuyun County and didn’t want the imperial court to order the people to be killed.
Now that the assistant of the county magistrate was around, the magistrate could be stalled for now.
In just a few days, it would be known whether those so-called people pregnant with ghosts in Qiaoyi Town were getting better.
The sheriff waited until the evening when Zhao Chuchu finally finished operating on the last patient.
The people who had been operated on earlier had also woken up, and after the anesthetic effects had worn off, the wound hurt so much that they screamed.
Zhao Chuchu told them to bear with it.
In order to give Zhao Chuchu access to better care for these people who had undergone surgery, Dachuan’s family temporarily stayed in other people’s homes in the village so that Zhao Chuchu could have their house.
Zhao Chuchu was so tired that she could not lift her arms.
Xie Jun rushed to give Zhao Chuchu a massage on the back and shoulders. “Chuchu, are you feeling any better?”
Zhao Chuchu smiled over her shoulder. “It would be better if you could push a little harder.”
Xie Jun smiled and exerted all his strength.
Even though his arm was sore, he didn’t stop.
“Junjun, I’ll do it.” Xie Heng saw this and went forward to take over for Xie Jun. “Go see if the others need your help.”
“Um, okay.” Xie Jun was happy that his brother was so thoughtful as to take the initiative to give his sister-in-law a massage. He immediately stepped aside.
Xie Heng’s force was moderate, making Zhao Chuchu squint comfortably. “Da Lang, that’s quite a hand you’ve got.”
“I’ve done this before,” Xie Heng said. “How about now? Want me to ease up?”
“That’s fine.”
“Well, you can rest for a while and then eat something later.”
“Okay,” Zhao Chuchu answered. However, as she was too tired, she unknowingly fell asleep.
Xie Heng lowered his head and looked at the sleeping Zhao Chuchu with worried eyes.
After a while, Xie Heng went to the front and carefully picked up Zhao Chuchu, intending to carry her back to her room to sleep on the bed.
As soon as he touched Zhao Chuchu, she woke up and opened her eyes.
Their eyes met.
Zhao Chuchu was confused and fell into a pair of eyes that were as deep as the sea and could not see the bottom.
She subconsciously smiled. “Da Lang, I’m sleepy.”
After saying that, she naturally hooked his neck, rubbed herself into his arms, and fell asleep again.
Xie Heng’s heart was so soft that his tone was gentle. “Then you can sleep for a while. I’ll heat up the food for you so you can eat it when you wake up.”
Zhao Chuchu muttered something and then quieted down again.
Xie Heng smiled and said, “Sweet dreams.”
He carried Zhao Chuchu to the bed and gently put her down.
Zhao Chuchu fell onto the bed, turned over, and turned her back to Xie Heng.
Xie Heng covered her with the blanket and then looked at her. He saw that she was exhausted and had fallen asleep. However, he did not stay in the room but went to look after those who had undergone surgery.
The sheriff did not leave either.
Even though those who had surgery were in pain, they didn’t look as dead as before.
The sheriff’s world was shaken.
He cautiously approached Xie Heng and asked quietly, “Mr. Xie, will they all stop having big bellies afterward? That’s how they’re cured? Then why don’t the others do it?”
“Surgery will greatly injure people’s vitality. These people’s situation has been serious to the extent that there is no cure for it. Only by doing this can the disease be completely removed. They would have died if more time had been wasted. So it was better to take a shot than do nothing.”
“But such a method is unheard of.”
“She is called Doctor Miracle because of her unique way of treating patients. Ordinary doctors have used all the methods they can think of, but they can’t save people, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Sir, I know what you are worried about. But since they would die anyway, why not choose a path that might lead to survival? As human beings, we all have a strong survival instinct, don’t we?”
“You have a point. Don’t worry. The government won’t come to Qiaoyi Town to give you trouble in these few days. But, Mr. Xie, I hope Mrs. Xie’s method is beneficial. Otherwise, no one can save you by then.”
“Thank you for reminding me, but please also rest assured. We will not disappoint you.”
“That’s a relief.”
Zhao Chuchu woke up in the dead of night.
Hearing the moaning of the patient next door, Zhao Chuchu got up.
Xie Heng had not slept and was sitting outside in the courtyard.
When he heard the sound of the door opening, Xie Heng turned around to look.
Zhao Chuchu rubbed her eyes, yawned, came over, and spoke naturally, “Da Lang, I am so hungry.”
Xie Heng smiled and got up. “Go brush your teeth. Then, I’ll bring out the food for you. I saw you were sleeping very well, so I made you some porridge. So have some porridge, and then I’ll cook for you.”
“I’ll just drink the porridge. It’s so late now. Don’t wake them up,” Zhao Chuchu said.
“Okay.”
Xie Heng had warmed up the food for Zhao Chuchu, but Zhao Chuchu had been asleep for more than two hours, and the food was no longer fresh.
Xie Heng felt sorry for Zhao Chuchu’s tiredness and knew that she liked to eat freshly made dishes, so he prepared the ingredients, ready to cook again when she woke up.
Zhao Chuchu scooped a ladle of cooled, boiled water to rinse her mouth and face while Xie Heng brought the porridge out.
When the sheriff opened the door and saw the two young people sitting in the courtyard, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he closed the door and went back to his room.
“What a sweet couple!” he said.
