Chapter 65 The Unlucky Guy

It was a high tide day, and all the fishing boats that had gone out to sea had returned. But the people on one boat were unlucky. As they were about to come ashore, a large wave crashed down, and two young intellectuals on deck were swept overboard. Coincidentally, they hit their heads on the rocks by the shore, and blood gushed out immediately. An elderly person immediately used stove ash to stop the bleeding, but it had little effect. The brigade leader then called ten or so people with nimble legs to go up the mountain to call Qian Xiaolan.

At that moment, Qian Xiaolan was using things to block the other holes of the rabbit burrows, using smoke to drive out the last one. Watching the rabbits scramble out in a panic and fall into her traps, she smiled with her eyes curved. After collecting all the rabbits unceremoniously, just as she was about to find another rabbit burrow, she seemed to hear someone calling her name. She stopped, pricked up her ears, and listened. “Doctor Qian, Doctor Qian Xiaolan, where are you?” “Doctor Qian, help!”

Qian Xiaolan’s expression changed slightly. She quickly ran towards the source of the sound, leaving two rabbits out of a string, and putting the rest into her space. “I’m here!” Everyone saw Qian Xiaolan and hurriedly told her what had happened. Qian Xiaolan handed her backpack and the two rabbits in her hand to a young man, “You hold these for me, I’ll go back first.” As she finished speaking, she was already far away. Everyone was speechless at her speed, even the fastest runner among them couldn’t match her.

Qian Xiaolan ran back to the clinic at top speed, barely catching her breath. Without anyone needing to say anything, Qian Xiaolan already knew the specific situation of the two unlucky souls. Tsk, she had to say, it was pretty bad. The blood was gushing out like a waterfall. While mentally criticizing, Qian Xiaolan opened the door to the clinic, took out her needle bag, and quickly stopped the bleeding of the two unlucky souls. Then she cleaned their wounds, applied medicine, and wrapped them with bandages. Everything was done in a smooth and flowing manner, leaving everyone in awe. “Okay, remember not to get the wounds wet. Go back and eat something good to replenish your blood. Don’t eat seafood for a while, to avoid infection.”

The two young intellectuals, pale-faced, thanked her, paid for the medicine, and left supporting each other. At this time, the group that had gone to call Qian Xiaolan came running back, panting heavily. The brigade leader saw them and was surprised. “What were you doing? Why are you back so late?” The group couldn’t answer, they were still gasping for breath, hands on their hips, legs unsteady.

Qian Xiaolan saw that her backpack and rabbits were being carried by two people, she reached out to take them, and smiled and thanked them, “Thank you for carrying my things back, why don’t you come in for a cup of tea?” The group immediately waved their hands, they didn’t have the face for that! They had seen from afar that the two unlucky souls had returned with bandages. Doctor Qian, a woman, was not only more capable than them, but they couldn’t even outrun her. It was too embarrassing for the men! They ran off with a mournful look on their faces, without answering the brigade leader’s question. This made the brigade leader unhappy, and he decided to assign them some heavy work in the afternoon.

Qian Xiaolan didn’t know the thoughts of these few people. Seeing that the brigade leader’s face wasn’t good, she hesitated and held up the rabbits in her hand and asked, “Brigade leader, is it okay if I take two rabbits for myself?” The brigade leader heard Qian Xiaolan’s voice and his face immediately brightened, “No problem, Doctor Qian, as long as you go yourself, you can take as many as you want.”

Qian Xiaolan was reassured and took the rabbits home to cook. To avoid the trouble of cooking every meal, she closed the courtyard gate, killed four rabbits and braised them all. Today was also a windy day, and the aroma wafted far and wide, almost the entire brigade could smell it. In their fishing village, they didn’t lack fish, shrimp, or crabs, but they rarely ate meat. Firstly, they didn’t have money, and secondly, the commune’s supplies were scarce, even if they had money, it was difficult to get it. Those who were skilled enough to hunt would go up the mountain to try their luck. Those who weren’t would have to eat their meals with the smell of other people’s meat. At this moment, almost every household was eating their meals with the smell of Qian Xiaolan’s meat. Even if it was just the smell, it could make them eat an extra bowl of rice, causing the women in their families to scold, “You bunch of good-for-nothing men, you can’t do anything right, and you eat everything!”

After making the rabbit meat, Qian Xiaolan scooped a bowl for Wang Yufeng’s family and received two large cabbages in return. After returning home, she also sent a bowl to Wang’s aunt’s family. Wang’s aunt’s husband and son had also returned with the boat today. Seeing Qian Xiaolan bringing a large bowl of meat, Wang’s aunt didn’t refuse, she smiled and accepted it. She went back to the kitchen to empty the bowl, then turned around and handed Qian Xiaolan a monkfish. She was afraid that Qian Xiaolan wouldn’t know how to cook it, so she said with a chuckle, “Little Qian, don’t look at this monkfish, it’s ugly, but chop it up, add some chili peppers and stir-fry it, it’s really delicious.” “Do you dare to kill this fish? Or should Auntie kill it for you and bring it back?” Wang’s aunt didn’t wait for Qian Xiaolan to answer, after she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and called her son, “Heiyu, come quickly and kill this monkfish for your little Qian sister.” Heiyu responded and immediately came over, took the fish, and started to kill it in the yard. Qian Xiaolan saw him chop and cut, killing the fish in three or two moves, so she didn’t say anything more to refuse.

When she carried the fish back home, she found the courtyard gate open. Her heart skipped a beat, she quickly walked a few steps into the courtyard, and sure enough, she found her husband had returned. He was standing there with his arms open, smiling at her. Qian Xiaolan didn’t move, she stood there and looked him up and down, seeing that he didn’t seem to be injured, her heart finally settled. She smiled and rushed over to him, throwing her arms around him. They embraced for a long time before Qian Xiaolan struggled out of his arms, “You haven’t eaten either, right? Let’s go eat.” Gu Yanqing heard this and knew that she hadn’t eaten, so he let her lead him to the kitchen. The remaining rabbit meat was still simmering in the pot, the rice had been cooked long ago, and to prevent it from getting cold, it was also placed in a large basin and sat on the back stove. Qian Xiaolan scooped up the rabbit meat, didn’t bother to wash the pot, just washed a few cabbage leaves and put them in the pot to stir-fry. The cabbage leaves quickly absorbed the aroma of the rabbit meat, making them incredibly appetizing.

They both ate until they were full from the simple lunch. After the meal, Qian Xiaolan asked Gu Yanqing if his mission had been successful. Gu Yanqing only said that it had been smooth, but a few comrades had been injured. Qian Xiaolan didn’t ask further. When she learned that he had two days off, she told him to rest first, and she would go to work. Gu Yanqing had taken a nap on the boat, and he wasn’t tired now, so he said he would accompany her to work. Qian Xiaolan naturally agreed. When they arrived at the clinic, Gu Yanqing was immediately drawn to the six banners on the wall. He looked at Qian Xiaolan in shock, “My wife’s medical skills are so amazing?” He knew Qian Xiaolan’s background. In her previous life, she was a high-ranking executive in a factory.

 She had abilities, she had skills, but she wasn’t a genius, like most people, she had climbed to that position through countless days and nights of tireless effort. Unexpectedly, the ordinary talent she had in her previous life, when applied to a different profession, turned into a remarkable talent, advancing by leaps and bounds!
