Chapter 23: Anan!
Xu Nan's eyes narrowed slightly.
With his medical skills, he could tell at a glance that if he delayed any longer, the old woman would die.
Beside the old woman was a little girl who looked to be about five or six years old.
Her clothes were patched and very old, but they were clean and tidy.
Her little face was white, like a jade carving and at this moment, it was full of tears.
When he saw this little girl, Xu Nan suddenly trembled, and his eyes could not help but become absent- minded.
She looked like a person he knew.
The person that Xu Nan owed the most in his life and could never forget.
Qin Feiyue.
"Uncles and Aunties, I beg you, please save Grandma...Anan begs you...woo..."
The little girl cried very sadly, her beautiful big eyes filled with helplessness.
Xu Nan was silent for a long time before he walked over.
Besides the fact that this little girl reminded him of the woman he felt guilty about, he also jumped to action because the old woman was already very dangerously close to death.
Since he had the ability to save, he had to save her.
He used to be the Commander of Nanjiang and could save all the people in the world.
Even if he was no longer one now, he could at the very least save one person.
"Please move aside."
Xu Nan pushed away the crowd and squatted beside the old woman then he stretched out his hand to check her pulse.
Using Chinese medicine, he should see through the illness, but he still was not careless.
Instead, he made a further diagnosis.
He had to truly understand it thoroughly to save her and avoid any accidents.
"Uncle, I beg you to save my grandmother...I beg you..."
The little girl hurriedly kowtowed to Xu Nan.
"Little sister, don't worry.Grandma is fine."
Xu Nan stopped her.
He didn't know why, but he had an inexplicable feeling of affection for this little girl.
When he saw the little girl crying, he felt distressed and sad.
She looked too similar to Qin Feiyue.
At this time, the onlookers said, "Young man, you have to be careful not to be cheated.Many people just can't be good people these days."
"Too true, too true.If you get blackmailed later, you won't be able to cry even if you want to."
"Yes, if you fall at the entrance of the hospital and the hospital doesn't pay attention to you something is definitely fishy, you might really get bamboozled if you rush like this."
Everyone talked at the same time, and their words were full of disdain.
It was no longer a novelty to save people with good intentions and be blackmailed. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
This deterred many people from helping at all in fear of encountering this situation again.
Even if they wanted to help, they had to take out their mobile phones and record videos beforehand, lest they were really blackmailed and they could not explain themselves later.
Moreover, even if they recorded a video, it might not necessarily be enough.
Many people still suffered losses.
It was not that people were no longer kind-hearted, but just the whole society was not as it was back in ancient times.
There were too many lawless people who used people's kindness to achieve their own ends.
They also saw that Xu Nan was wearing a military uniform.
They thought that Xu Nan was an ignorant big-headed soldier and had never suffered such a loss, so they opened their mouths to remind him.
But at the same time, they felt that when this person stood out to help, they seemed to be too cold- blooded.
They thought in their hearts, ‘'If you think you are kind, then are we all numb and heartless? The hospital ignored them.It is obviously a scam.Don't you think you are stupid to jump in?’'
"Anan is not a liar!"
The little girl hurriedly shouted, her tears falling even more urgently.
"Really! Anan is not a liar! My grandmother is really sick! Really! Uncle, please believe Anan.Anan is really not lying! Anan will not blackmail you.I beg you, when mother comes, she will pay the medical fees!"
"Your name is Anan? Anan, relax.Uncle knows that you are not lying.” Xu Nan ignored the words of the onlookers what he realized was that this little girl's soft and tender voice was full of grievances, making people stressed.
After comforting her in a soft voice, Xu Nan took out a silver needle and stabbed it into the old woman's neck in front of everyone.
Cries of surprise rose and fell one after another.
Such a long needle was stabbed in her neck.
This surely was not saving a person, but killing them, right? But soon, the old woman trembled all over as she suddenly opened her eyes, tilted her head, and spun out some black filth.
The stench immediately spread out.
The expressions of the surrounding crowd changed immensely.
They hurriedly covered their noses and retreated.
The old woman let out some heavy breaths.
The little girl seemed to not have smelled the stench.
She quickly rushed to the old woman's side and shouted in panic, "Grandma! Grandma, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine now."
Xu Nan casually took back the silver needle and stroked the little girl's hair, casting a bright smiling gaze into her big, ignorant but clear eyes.
"Grandma is fine.You have to take good care of her in the future, understand?"
The little girl pursed her lips and soon burst into tears again.
She pulled the corner of Xu Nan's clothes and cried, "Thank you, uncle.Uncle, you are such a good person!"
"Be a good girl, don't cry.' Xu Nan gently patted the old woman's back.
Her breathing calmed down and she looked at Xu Nan gratefully, "Thank you...Thank you...
"You're welcome.Don't eat expired food in the future."
"Okay...okay."
The old woman reached into her pocket, took out a cloth handkerchief, opened it, and handed it over.
She said apologetically, "Thank you for saving my old life.I only have this much money..."
A roll of crumpled money lay in the handkerchief that was held in her wizened hand.
The maximum value was twenty yuan.
Then there was a ten yuan note, a few pieces, and the rest were all some tiny bucks and coins.
"My dear grandma, I don't want money."
Xu Nan shook his head and got up to leave.
The crowd also dispersed.
The old woman hugged the little girl and looked at Xu Nan's back as he left.
Her old eyes were misty and she murmured, "Thank you…”
