There is An Apocalyptic Man in the Village

Chapter 9- Brother Zhou

Now that the matter was discussed, there was no need to delay anymore. Lin Amo helped Brother Zhou and Lin Laogen as they headed home first, while Lin Tianbao ran barefoot to find the doctor they called ‘Uncle Li’ in the village.

Wu Qingyuan had wanted to help and lend his strength to help, however, that brother Zhou was a ger who was eligible for marriage, and it was not convenient for him to follow after them as he had to follow the common customs here.

During this time, his attention has been on the boy named Lin Amo. It is not that he was easily fond of others, but that he thinks this boy is very interesting.

If other people were told they were ugly most of their lives, their personalities would become weak and quiet, but Lin Amo is the opposite as his entire personality is very lively.

Despite having Lin Laogen as his father, Wu Qingyuan observed along the way that it was his ger Lin Amo who dominated the Lin family.

Very attractive.

Although his gaze has been very vague and restrained, others will still feel it after feeling the stare of someone, so Lin Amo quickly noticed his gaze and turned his head back.

However, Wu Qingyuan did not look away, nodding at him with a generous smile, not conscious of being caught, but it made Lin Amo’s cheeks redden imperceptibly. It was the first time that a strange man saw that he was not annoying while also smiling at him.

Although he is used to the glaring eyes of others, all they judged about him was his appearance, as such when Wu Qingyuan does not look at him with any disgust and contemptuous eyes. Lin Amo had a good impression of him in an instant, and while he still felt defensive against him, his wariness had lessened.

Lin Amo had never been an introvert so once his wariness had lessened, he began to ask about Wu Qingyuan’s origins and for various information.

There is no reservedness a ger should have here. It seems that this is why Lin Laogen is so upset that he blames his carelessness as a father. The older man can’t teach the child, so the child develops this temperament. Those who don’t know think he has the character of a child.

Wu Qingyuan had no such thoughts so what Lin Amo asked, he answered, and after a while, he became familiar with the other party.

“…It turned out to be like this. I have long heard that the sea is dangerous. I didn’t expect it to be like this. Then you are really lucky to survive. Don’t worry, my dad and I are very familiar with the nearby villages. When the need arises, I will also help you to inquire about your matters. If you can’t find your relatives, you can live in our village. Although our Liushu Village is not rich, it is close to Zhenshang County and easy to travel to….. “

Lin Amo, who has lived in the village all year round, has only ever been at the market, and his nature is as simple as most villagers. He sympathizes with Wu Qingyuan after hearing what happened. Besides, because Wu Qingyuan has no expression of disgust, he feels comforted in his heart and is very enthusiastic to help him by providing him with ideas.

Lin Laogen also nodded and said that he could help him talk to the village chief when that time comes.

“Brother Wu, this is my house…”

Lin Laogen brought Wu Qingyuan into a small farmyard.

The Lin family’s house is relatively good in Liushu Village. Although it was built more than a decade ago, it is still a solid tiled house, and the area surrounding it is large. Although the yearly flooding meant having to change roof tiles every year.

However, after entering the yard, Wu Qingyuan discovered that although the Lin family’s house is not small, there are also a lot of people in the family. The layout of the east and west side houses the three families of the three brothers, a total of nine people.

Contradictions are naturally indispensable when there are this many people in the family. From just a few exchanges in the yard, as they said hello- who has a cold attitude and a warm attitude, he can already discern that the relationship between the Lin family is not so harmonious, but in general, like most families, there is friction regarding firewood, rice, oil, and salt, but there is no deep hatred.

Seeing Brother Zhou, who was being helped back by Lin Amo, the people in the yard took a breath and said, “That person has once again committed evil.”

Even the old lady of the Lin family, who has always disliked nosy people, couldn’t help but frown and said, “How heavy is the hand of this old lady Zhou?”, and hesitated when she heard Lin Amo say that he would take him in for a few days. She didn’t refuse, but she said, “I won’t be providing his rations.”

“I already know my responsibility towards him.”

The elder of the family nodded in agreement, and Brother Zhou was allowed to stay without hindrance, Lin Amo happily helped him into his house.

At this time, the one who went to find the village doctor, Lin Tianbao, the younger brother of Lin’s family, also came back, but he came back alone. Uncle Li, the only doctor in the village, was not at home, so he had to go to town if they wanted someone to attend to Brother Zhou’s injuries.

But now, the time is late and it would be night by the time they would reach the town, all the shops in the town would be closed, and the doctors in the medical clinic wouldn’t go to distant places to visit at night, and they can only wait until tomorrow.

But Brother Zhou’s injury looked very serious. Who knows if it will kill him if they drag it all night, and Lin Amo is about to die of worry.

Because of his ugliness, the ugly spots on his face were too scary. The children in the village didn’t like to play with him. Only his Brother Zhou had the best relationship with him. They grew up together. When he was young, he fell into the river and it was Brother Zhou who risked his life to save him.

Now that something happened to Brother Zhou, wherein he was already lying in bed with a fever and passed out. He was naturally worried and anxious. The medical conditions here are backward, and it is not uncommon for people to die from fever.

“Brother, don’t worry, Brother Zhou will be fine. I ran into Brother Dahzu on the road just now. Brother Dahzu has already gone to the next village to find a doctor…”

Lin Tianbao wanted to comfort his brother next to him, acting like a little adult.

The second daughter-in-law of the Lin family named Wang also found a bottle of shochu and handed it over, “Amo, you can try this shochu first to see if you can lower his temperature. If he goes on like this, he will die and we will be burning incense papers for him.”

“Yes!”

These things are only understood by elders so Lin Amo nodded and quickly put the wine on the cloth and wiped the face of Brother Zhou on the bed.

He doesn’t know if it’s because of the serious injury or the poor physical fitness of Brother Zhou but the body temperature has not been able to drop. Instead, the fever gets worse. The expressions of the people in the room are not very good. Even Lin Tianbao, who is only ten years old, knows that if the doctor does not come, it is unknown whether Brother Zhou will survive tonight.

Wu Qingyuan stood by and watched for a while, hesitated, and finally took out a fever-reducing medicine from his bag and handed it over.

“Try this. This is special medicine that I got from an old genius doctor when I was traveling. It has a good effect on reducing the fever. Give him one to see. The doctor will probably not come for a while.”

He hasn’t just decided to hand over the medicine but rather, he had been thinking about it all this time.

Since the ancient people here have never been exposed to modern medicines and their bodies are not resistant to medicines, modern medicines will have a very good effect on the people here. It can be called a magical medicine that can cure the disease by taking one dose, and it is easy to cause trouble. People would either want to treat him as a god or to treat him as a different kind.

You can help others, but only if you don’t endanger your safety.

But seeing Lin Amo’s anxious look, him almost crying from worry, and the thin young man named Brother Zhou on the bed, Wu Qingyuan’s strong resolve became weak.

The people in the room were at a loss. When they saw the medicine Wu Qingyuan took out, regardless of the strange appearance of the medicine, they had to try it out as they had no other choice and were already desperate.

Similar to what Wu Qingyuan thought, modern antipyretics are very effective. Soon Brother Zhou’s complexion on the bed began to slowly recover, and Lin Amo suddenly exclaimed with joy, “He’s getting better!” 

Lin Laogen and the others’ faces also showed joy, and it was good that this person was rescued.

“Uncle Lin, Brother Lin, quickly open the door, it’s me, Zhang Dazhu, I brought the doctor here…”

When he was rejoicing, a rough man’s voice suddenly sounded outside the Lin family’s yard.

There was another wave of joy on Lin Amo’s face, and he hurriedly called Lin Tianbao to open the door, and then another sturdy man with a loud voice, dragging an old man with a white beard and carrying a medicine box, ran in quickly.

“Zhang… Zhang Dazhu, you stinky boy, you… can you slow down, I- I’m an old man, my body is not as strong as you young people!”

Because he ran too fast, the old doctor was almost out of breath, red-faced and shouting.

“We can’t be slow, uncle, help! You can help me care for Brother Zhou, if Brother Zhou is gone, I won’t live anymore…”

The brawny man called Zhang Dazhu pushed the doctor to the side of the bed with an anxious look and yelled at him to move quickly. The doctor had no choice but to bite the bullet.

Fortunately, while the injuries on Brother Zhou’s body looked scary, they were all skin traumas. The internal organs were not injured, and the high fever subsided. There is no major problem, but the foundation is too bad, and he needs a good rest and recovery.

After taking the pulse, the old man looked at the scars on the face of Zhou’s arm and neck again, sighed, took out a paper and brush to write a prescription and stuffed it into Zhang Dazhu’s hand, and said some precautions before he hurried to pack his things and go home, his residence was in the next village and he can only rush back.

As soon as the old man left, everyone was relieved after confirming that Brother Zhou was really fine.

Especially the strong man named Zhang Dazhu who wanted to stay with him, but this is the Lin family’s home, and the room is Lin Amo’s private room. He cannot stay for a long time, so he can only reluctantly leave the prescription and a purse with silver in it. He passed it to Lin Amo, and leave after asking for their help.

Having been busy for so long, the light outside was dark, and dinner time was over. The old lady of the Lin family would not wait for the three fathers and sons of Lin Laogen, she merely told the others in the family to eat their food and did not even leave the washing water for them.

The second family’s wife Wang wanted to leave a little for the others, but she couldn’t be the master of the house without separation. She was scolded for providing the soju just now, so Lin Laogen and his children and guest had to find a solution by themselves.

The three fathers and sons were accustomed to the practice of the old woman Lin and were too lazy to fight with her.

Letting Lin Laogen and Wu Qingyuan rest outside, Lin Amo and his younger brother went into the kitchen. When they came out, the two brothers had bowls with them and from Lin Laogen’s bamboo tube they put in noodles full of green vegetables, and a few wotou.

“Brother Wu, this bowl is for you.”

Lin Amo handed the bowl with the most noodles to Lin Laogen, and the bowl with the second most noodles to him, a pair of shining eyes curled toward him with a smile.
