The doctor treated Hua Tuo for a full hour and a half before finally emerging from inside.

He said, "The patient's brain injury is severe and he will need at least two or three months to recover. As for his right leg, the injury is not serious and he will recover in half a month."

Yan Nanfei nodded and wrote down the doctor's instructions.

"Doctor, please prescribe the medicine, no matter how expensive it is." Yan Nanfei was determined to save the person to the end. Otherwise, if she didn't pay for it herself, the person would have died anyway if she brought him to the clinic. Why would she bother?

"Okay." The doctor responded, "The injured person won't wake up so quickly. You can go in and take a look, but don't disturb his rest."

“Okay.” Yan Nanfei nodded and went inside with Feng Shan.

There was only one bed in the ward. Hua Tuo lay quietly, his face as pale as paper, his eyes tightly closed.

The grime on his face was wiped clean, revealing his originally handsome face.

Although Hua Tuo is handsome, he is different from Feng Shan. Feng Shan's handsomeness is rugged, while Hua Tuo's is filled with compassion for the world, yet he is disliked by the world. Therefore, his expression is always timid, giving people the feeling of humble handsomeness.

At this moment, the eyelashes of the person on the bed trembled slightly, and then slowly...

I opened my eyes and saw that both of them were there; I was a little dazed.

It took him a while to realize that he had been taken to the clinic.

"Thank you for saving me..." Hua Tuo said weakly, his voice hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat.

“It was my wife who found you on the mountain, carried you down, and took you to the clinic.”

Feng Shan proactively explained that he would not steal Yan Nanfei's credit.

Even if he saved Hua Tuo, it was thanks to his wife, because he was her husband, and everything he had should belong to his wife!

Hua Tuo tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, but his head was throbbing with pain.

Even his smile seemed forced.

"Although I'm still a bit dazed, I vaguely remember that you two helped me. If you ever need my help in the future, please just say the word." Hua Tuo's eyes darted away as he spoke, avoiding eye contact.

He knew in his heart how much people disliked him in Qingshan Village.

Hua Tuo tried to get out of bed, which startled Yan Nanfei, who quickly went over and pressed down on his shoulders: "Lie still, don't move!"

Yan Nanfei's tone was somewhat angry. He had finally managed to save him, and he shouldn't let him torment himself to death.

"I don't have that much money to see a doctor..." Hua Tuo looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Yan Nanfei and Feng Shan...

He lowered his eyes awkwardly, his hands gripping the sheets tightly around him.

"Don't worry, I'll cover the cost for you." Yan Nanfei lowered his eyes and sighed inwardly.

Being broke is a helpless situation in any world.

Hua Tuo also heard from the villagers that Yan Nanfei had repented and dug out the several boxes of silver left to her by her parents.

However, as a medical student, he understood the severity of his injuries.

The cost of treating him alone is almost ten taels of silver, not to mention the subsequent medical expenses..."

"I'm fine, I'm awake now. I'll go home and make myself some medicine, I'll get better soon..."

Hua Tuo shook his head, declining Yan Nanfei's offer.

He was penniless and couldn't afford any of that.

Hua Tuo turned his head away, unwilling to let anyone see his expression. His eyes were a little moist, and his nose was sore and aching, as if he could burst into tears at any moment.

Feng Shan, who was watching from the side, frowned as he saw Yan Nanfei about to get angry.

He said directly, "Hua Tuo, you can't make my wife angry. She's your savior. If you want to repay her kindness, listen to my wife now and lie down obediently. Don't worry about the money."

After saying that, Feng Shan was silent for a moment, then spoke fiercely again: "If you refuse again and make my wife angry, I'll beat you up!"

Feng Shan's anger surged. Couldn't this Hua Tuo be a little more obedient and put his wife at ease?!

Although the mountain was closed, everyone understood that without money, everything would be difficult.

But now that Yan Nanfei is willing to help him, and he is seriously injured, he needs to save his life first, and he can pay back the money slowly later.

Now that Yan Nanfei has reformed, he will certainly not press him to repay the money.

Yan Nanfei felt a warm glow in his heart; Feng Shan was truly an exceptional man.

Hua Tuo pursed his lips, a hint of humility in his eyes: "But I'm a cursed lone star. Aren't you afraid of being cursed by me if you come with me?"

"Besides, if the villagers find out you're helping me, what if they start cursing at you too?"

Hua Tuo had tried to talk to the villagers before, but as soon as he got close to them, he was cursed and told he was bad luck…

And they cursed him for a whole month..."

From then on, Hua Tuo never dared to speak to the villagers again…

“Those idiots are superstitious, but my family isn’t. What do you mean by ‘lone star’? That’s utter nonsense!” Yan Nanfei sneered, dismissing Hua Tuo’s words with disdain: “They’re just bored and have nothing better to do. If you really were a lone star, we would all be dead by now after living in the village for a few years.”

Feng Shan looked at Yan Nanfei's earnest and righteous words, and remembered her warning to herself: "Don't get close to that filthy Hua Tuo. If you get tainted by Hua Tuo's bad luck and ruin Yan Nanfei's gambling luck, I'll dump you..."

His wife is a bit shameless, huh? Has she forgotten what she said?

Feng Shan scratched his head. It seemed that his wife had really changed a lot, which was something to be happy about!

Yan Nanfei's tone was firm, and with each word she spoke, Hua Tuo, who was filled with inferiority, became increasingly moved.

Feng Shan chimed in, "My wife is right, you should trust her."

Hua Tuo gritted his teeth, tears welling in his eyes. He didn't speak, but nodded vigorously.

"Take good care of yourself and we'll come see you again tomorrow." Yan Nanfei breathed a sigh of relief and patted his shoulder. "The medical apprentices will look after you, and I'll give them money to prepare meals for you. Just relax."

After saying that, Yan Nanfei and Feng Shan left.

As soon as Yan Nanfei left, Hua Tuo couldn't help but cry. He sobbed like a child, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Since his parents passed away, Yan Nanfei and Feng Shan were the first people to make him feel warm.

As they left the clinic, Feng Shan asked, "My lady, I thought we were going to stay with Hua Tuo tonight. Why are we suddenly going home?"

While Yan Nanfei was pondering the matter, he worried that Hua Tuo might sneak home and that he would have to stay by his side all night.

Yan Nanfei hugged his arm and rubbed against him: "We tried everything to reason with him, but he still wanted to run away. There was nothing I could do. I can only say that he doesn't know what's good for him."

"Besides, didn't I say tonight I'd wear my new ripped clothes for you to see?" Yan Nanfei's cheeks flushed as he thought of this, a silent invitation to Feng Shan: "So, let's hurry back and get started, I can't wait!"
