Su Yanke searched her mind several times but couldn't find any similar cases. Her curiosity had already been piqued.
But obviously, this matter had to wait. The most important thing now was to sell the stoves!
The following time was all about Su Yanke and Aunt Li. Uncle Lao Ji was not good at speaking, so he just poured water for everyone on the side, lest his mouth get dry if he talked too much.
Su Yanke briefly told them about the plan. The more they listened, the brighter their eyes became. At the end, Uncle Dali slapped his thigh and didn't hesitate to say he wanted to join. Uncle Daishu also agreed right after. Su Yanke had already expected this result.
Aunt Li took out a white slip on the side. It was written as a valid agreement form.
This was unique to this world. Su Yanke was quite surprised when she first heard about it. She didn't expect the laws in this world to be so complete.
This valid agreement form was available in every area. As long as people needed it, they could go to the local official to get one. As long as they handed in the worker's labor tickets and this valid agreement form to the official for a backup, they didn't have to worry about someone going back on their word later.
Uncle Lao Ji was very surprised that Aunt Li took out the valid agreement form. "We're all family and brothers. Why do we need this? It really hurts our feelings. Put it away, put it away!"
Aunt Li looked at Su Yanke and was a bit unsure what to do.
Su Yanke said, "Uncle Lao Ji, we can't put this away. I suggest signing this not because I don't trust everyone. On the contrary, I trust everyone very much. We should clearly divide the interests in it. It's also for our future. It's very likely that we'll cooperate for a long time in the future. As time goes by, conflicts will inevitably increase. This is also to avoid the breakdown of our relationship in the future. Can you understand?"
Almost as soon as Su Yanke finished speaking, Uncle Dali quickly agreed.
"Yes, yes, Miss A Yan is right. I'll hand it in first!"
After saying that, Uncle Dali handed over the labor ticket he had just received and hadn't even warmed up to Aunt Li. Uncle Daishu wasn't a difficult person to talk to either. Seeing that what Su Yanke said made sense, he also handed his in. Uncle Lao Ji saw that the brothers had all handed theirs in. He could only look at Aunt Li and Su Yanke and opened his mouth.
Aunt Li knew that he wouldn't say anything nice, so she picked up a piece of food and put it in his bowl, hoping that he would talk less if he couldn't speak well. Uncle Lao Ji was sensible enough to know that he wasn't good at speaking, so he just buried his head in eating and didn't say anything more.
After the meal, Aunt Li stayed at home to do the housework. Su Yanke planned to finalize the personnel today. It hadn't snowed yet. Once it snowed, there would be fewer people outside, and it would be even more difficult to sell the stoves.
Su Yanke told them her idea, and they all nodded in agreement. They had the same thought and were ready to set off right away.
But when they were about to set off, Xiaobao ran to Su Yanke's side and said that he also wanted to go. Su Yanke thought for a while. Uncle Lao Ji didn't object either. She happened to have other questions to ask Xiaobao, so she agreed to let him go with them.
Chen Yonggui's house wasn't far from Uncle Lao Ji's. It was just across a river. They walked for about ten minutes and arrived.
Since Su Yanke had a cloth covering her eyes, the others were worried that she might fall while walking, so they deliberately slowed down their pace.
During the whole journey, Su Yanke's steps were very steady. Uncle Dali was very surprised and asked, "Miss A Yan, was your eye condition present from birth?"
"No, Dr. Liu said it's just temporary!" Before Su Yanke could answer, Xiaobao, who was being led by Su Yanke, answered first.
This made Uncle Dali even more curious. "Then how can you walk so steadily?"
"My five senses are more sensitive than ordinary people, so it's more convenient for me!"
Su Yanke casually made up an excuse to try to get away with it. She couldn't very well say that she used her spiritual energy to detect the position of external objects so she could avoid them, could she?
That would take a long time to explain, and she really didn't want to waste her breath on such things.
Unexpectedly, this only piqued Uncle Dali's interest. He said he wanted to see just how sensitive she was. Su Yanke could only postpone it by saying that if there was a chance in the future, but there were too many things to do now. Only then did Uncle Dali stop asking.
Su Yanke thought for a while and lowered her head to ask Xiaobao if it was Dr. Liu who came to see her when she was in a coma, and if there was anyone else.
Xiaobao shook his head and said, "It was only Dr. Liu. There was no one else."
"Then did anything strange happen when Dr. Liu was examining me?"
Xiaobao thought for a while and said, "No. Dr. Liu just felt your wrist, and then..."
Xiaobao paused here. Su Yanke sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaobao?"
"Sister, there really was something very strange."
"Strange? Where?"
"At that time, you were still sleeping. Dr. Liu took a small black stone out of his bag and put it on you. Then he sat down on one side and went to sleep. After that, he seemed to be suddenly woken up in shock. He kept saying it was impossible, impossible and so on. Then he felt your wrist again, and then... then you woke up."
Su Yanke fell silent after hearing this. A black small stone? Could it be... As soon as this thought came to her mind, Su Yanke couldn't help but feel a little excited. If that was the case, she must go and see this black small stone!
This family's house still had tiles. There were only a few houses with tiles in the village. For example, Uncle Lao Ji's house was a thatched cottage.
Su Yanke had always been worried before that if there was a strong wind, the house might collapse!
From this house, it could be seen that Chen Yonggui used to have a very wealthy family.
Uncle Lao Ji stepped forward and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, a middle - aged man with a stubbly beard opened the door in extremely ill - fitting clothes.
"Yonggui?" Uncle Lao Ji's tone was full of doubt. He seemed a little reluctant to believe that the person in front of him was Chen Yonggui.
"Old... Old Ji?" Chen Yonggui seemed to have not drunk water for a long time. His voice was extremely hoarse. It was very unpleasant to hear, just like the feeling of nails scraping on a blackboard.
Chen Yonggui recognized Uncle Lao Ji. He looked at Su Yanke and the others, feeling a bit confused. He had already declined Uncle Lao's invitation to dinner before. What were they here for now?
Chen Yonggui knew that the doorway wasn't a place to talk, so he led Su Yanke and the others into the main hall to sit down. He was about to go and boil some water, but Uncle Lao Ji stopped him.
"No need, no need. Please forgive us for this sudden visit, Brother Yonggui."
This was what Su Yanke had taught him. After all, Uncle Lao Ji couldn't always just deal with the people in the village. He must learn some official language.
Chen Yonggui was obviously a bit surprised by Uncle Lao Ji's way of speaking, but he didn't ask.
Uncle Lao Ji handed the food he had brought to Chen Yonggui. "Since you didn't come, in a way, this is like us having dinner together!"
Chen Yonggui looked at the delicious - looking food. His throat couldn't help but move, but he still managed to hold back and not lose his composure in front of others.
"What are you here for?"
Uncle Lao Ji didn't say anything and just looked at Su Yanke.
Su Yanke took over and told Chen Yonggui the plan they had discussed before.
But Chen Yonggui just hesitated for a moment and then refused.
Su Yanke was a bit surprised and wanted to ask for the reason, but Chen Yonggui's attitude was very firm. Su Yanke felt a bit pity. Since it couldn't be forced, she could only prepare to go home and think of other ways.
Just as Su Yanke had taken two steps after turning around, she suddenly stopped. Her nose twitched slightly. Something was wrong. There was a smell of blood!
Su Yanke's sudden stop made everyone a bit confused. Uncle Dali was just about to walk to Su Yanke's side and ask what had happened and why she had stopped when Su Yanke suddenly turned around and quickly walked towards a room.
Chen Yonggui looked at the direction Su Yanke was walking towards. His face changed greatly. He wanted to step forward to stop her, but when he reached the door and saw the scene inside, his already pale face turned even paler.
A shrill scream suddenly rang out behind Su Yanke. Su Yanke frowned so tightly that it seemed she could crush a fly.
"Stop screaming. Go get something to stop the bleeding. He won't die. Stop screaming!"
As soon as Su Yanke opened the door, a smell of blood rushed towards her. Using her spiritual energy, she detected an object on the ground. Its heat was starting to decline. Su Yanke guessed what was going on.
She knew that there was still a chance to save the person in this situation, but if Chen Yonggui just stood there screaming blindly, she would be tempted to let him die first.
Uncle Lao Ji and the others also rushed over. They were startled by the scene, but they were calmer than Chen Yonggui. At least they didn't scream blindly.
Hearing Su Yanke's instructions, they started to divide the work, but since they were not familiar with the environment here, their efficiency was a bit slow.
Seeing that Chen Yonggui was still in a daze on the side, Su Yanke said angrily, "Chen Yonggui! If you really want to watch him die, I'll grant your wish and make him die faster!"
Su Yanke's shout, along with the content, pulled back some of Chen Yonggui's rationality. He murmured, "No, no, he won't die, won't die!"
"If you don't want him to die, then go and help Uncle Lao Ji and the others get things!"
Su Yanke casually tore off the cloth on her eyes and covered the wound to slow down the blood flow. But obviously, this thin cloth wasn't very effective, so she had instructed them to quickly find other tools to stop the bleeding.
With Chen Yonggui's help, the things were quickly prepared. Su Yanke used the first - aid methods she had learned before on the person. It worked quite well, and the bleeding stopped.
During this process, Su Yanke also used the help of her spiritual energy to make the bleeding - stopping process go so smoothly.
During the treatment, Su Yanke also noticed some problems. This person's leg seemed to have been severed by something?
It seemed that this person was Chen Yonggui's son, Chen Yongshun.
Just now, Su Yanke had checked his body and found not only the problem with his leg but also that Chen Yongshun's physical constitution had a big problem. It seemed that this incident happened because Chen Yongshun didn't want to live anymore and was trying to commit suicide!
At this time, Chen Yonggui finally came to his senses. He trembled as he wanted to touch Chen Yongshun's head, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Was he... afraid?
