"Come on. If you keep dawdling, it'll be dark soon." The captain of the archaeological team gave the man a cold look and said to Shi Wan, "Student Shi Wan, do your job well. You're still young."
Actually, Shi Wan's techniques were even more proficient than theirs. The captain had intended to recruit her, but he heard that this was just a hobby of hers and her career aspiration wasn't in this field.
"Thank you."
The man felt he was being targeted. Everyone was protecting Shi Wan, while he was the real teammate.
It was still that Shi Wan. She was so disrespectful to her seniors.
He wanted to teach her a lesson this time but ended up getting himself in trouble. It was really bad luck.
After this incident, Shi Wan didn't want to cause any more trouble and didn't say a single word to the man.
A few days later, all the tasks were basically completed. Qi Meng, who hadn't been seen for a long time, showed up again. The difference was the injury on her face.
It looked like she had been beaten.
She went to see the village head. No one knew what they talked about, but the village head looked very embarrassed and glanced at the group from time to time.
"Wanwan, what do you think she's talking to the village head about? Is she up to some more tricks?"
Bai Shaoyuan and a few other senior students had already been on guard against Qi Meng. How could a 15 - year - old girl be so calculating?
Even if her family was poor, she shouldn't harm others.
It was just that Shi Wan was too lazy to pursue the matter.
"I don't know. As long as she doesn't bother me, it doesn't matter."
"Huh?"
"I'm too lazy to argue with her."
Shi Wan finished the last bite of her bread, clapped her hands, and went to help.
The others: "......"
It was in line with Shi Wan's character.
Shi Wan had been helping out for a while when the village head walked over awkwardly. "Captain, do any of you know a good doctor?"
"What's wrong?"
The team was able to come here thanks to the village head, so the captain was very polite to him.
"Qi Meng's younger brother is seriously ill. He knows you're from the big city, so..." The village head sighed. "Actually, the illness wasn't that serious at first, but it got worse because of the delay. There's basically no hope."
No one knew exactly what the illness was, but it was getting worse by the day.
"Yes. I'll give you the contact information later. You can get in touch."
"Good, good. Thank you, captain."
"You're welcome."
The captain glanced at Shi Wan, who was helping out. He seemed to remember Shi Wan's identity...
But seeing that Shi Wan didn't want to reveal it, the captain didn't say anything either.
Not long after, Qi Meng walked over. "Captain, will the medical expenses be expensive?"
"I can ask the doctor to waive his consultation fee for you, but for other expenses... it depends on what the illness is."
"Heart disease."
"The cost won't be low. You..."
"We've managed to scrape together 50,000 yuan. Can we cure it?"
Qi Meng glanced at Shi Wan, and a look of guilt flashed in her eyes. The 46,000 yuan was found in Shi Wan's bag.
Why didn't she put more money in it?
If the treatment was successful, her family could still have some left.
"It's hard with 50,000 yuan."
If a heart transplant was needed, it would cost much more.
"Then how much will it cost?"
"At least 300,000 to 400,000 yuan."
Qi Meng was stunned. She pleaded, "Captain, you know the doctor. Can you get the fees waived? We'll definitely be grateful to you."
"But these things aren't up to me or the doctor."
A heart transplant required a heart donation. How could it be done without spending any money?
"But... but we're so poor."
"I'm powerless."
After saying that, the captain continued with his own work.
Qi Meng stood there motionless. The pain on her body made her afraid to go home.
Suddenly, she thought of something. She suddenly looked at Shi Wan and strode over to her.
"What do you want?"
Bai Shaoyuan and the other senior students stood in front of Shi Wan, glaring at Qi Meng.
"I want to borrow money from her." Qi Meng looked at Shi Wan. "Shi Wan, I know you're rich. Please help me."
"Why should I?"
Shi Wan signaled the others that it was okay and faced Qi Meng directly.
"Aren't you rich? Help me. I'll never forget you."
"Don't. You'd better forget about me as soon as possible." Shi Wan said coldly, "No matter how much money I have, I earned it myself. Do you think I have to help you just because you say you won't forget me?"
The others nodded in agreement. This was no longer moral kidnapping; it was just being shameless.
"But I have no money. If I can't find the money and go home, I'll die..."
"What does it matter to me?"
"You..."
"Don't try to take advantage of me. I don't know you."
Qi Meng was stunned. But apart from Shi Wan, she didn't know anyone else.
Moreover, Shi Wan was the richest here. Who else could she turn to?
"By the way, remember to return what you took from me. Otherwise, I'm not sure what I'll do."
If it was just her own money, she could let it go. But that was the pocket money given to her by Shen Siyan.
"You!" Qi Meng said defiantly, "That's my own stuff. I won't give it back."
"Then wait for the police. Also, about the thing when you pushed me down the slope..."
"Shut up!"
A 15 - year - old child couldn't stand being provoked. She panicked immediately.
"You're fine and you're so rich. Why do you have to pick on me, a poor person?!"
"Did I make you poor?"
Not only Shi Wan but also the others standing by thought her words were extremely shameless.
Did being poor give you the right to do whatever you wanted?
"Wanwan, let's go. Don't bother with these people."
Shi Wan nodded.
When it was time to go down the mountain, they found that there was something wrong with the car, so they had to stay here for a few more days.
Counting the days, she hadn't seen Shen Siyan for almost two weeks. The last time they talked on the phone was two days ago.
The man who had made things difficult for Shi Wan stared at her like a venomous snake, looking for an opportunity to bite her.
Just at night, the man was really bitten by a snake.
The reason was that he was careless when going to the toilet...
After all, it was a human life. Everyone was extremely anxious, but the car was broken and there was no doctor on - site.
Even if the car was repaired and he was sent to the hospital, it might be too late.
"Where's Shi Wan?"
"Shi Wan? She was here just now. Where has she gone? I hope nothing bad happens to her. She's just a little girl. What if she's bitten by a snake?"
"Hurry up and look for Shi Wan!"
The scene was in a complete mess. Just then, Shi Wan came back.
The captain saw her as if he had seen a life - saving straw. "Shi Wan, you know medicine, right? Someone is injured over there. Although... although there are some conflicts between you, please save him."
The students from Beinan University were silent. Shi Wan's reputation had actually spread throughout their university for a long time. They had heard some things, but the rumors had become more and more exaggerated, so they just regarded her as an ordinary junior.
But now...
Shi Wan glanced at the situation. "It's okay."
"Okay?" The captain was shocked. "But he was bitten by a venomous snake, and there are no medical facilities on - site..."
"Use needles."
"Use needles?"
Before the captain could react, Shi Wan, who had somehow gotten the silver needles, had already started to insert them.
"Captain, will... will this work?"
