Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 48 Timid
"Look, Xiaotong, this is the little girl who is about the same age as your sister that I was talking about."

"She looks much cuter than my sister."

"Come in Ningning, you've seen him before, just call him brother."

Ignoring what the two people said, Li Yancheng waved his hand for Xiao Ningning to come in and introduced her.

"Hello, two big brothers."

"You too!"

"Ningning, are the test results out?"

Going to the hospital for a urine test to check for pregnancy is quite quick, as there is a hospital not far from their home.

"Uh-huh"

When talking about the test results, Xiao Ningning nodded excitedly: "Brother Dacheng, I'm really going to be an aunt."

"Hehe, where are your brother and sister-in-law?"

"They are walking slowly behind us. My brother said he would like to invite you to have lunch at the restaurant at the entrance of the alley today."

"That's great, it saves me from having to cook."

"Hey, Dacheng, you guys chat first, goodbye, the two big brothers."

Since there were strangers around, Xiao Ningning didn't say much. After explaining the situation clearly, she ran out like a gust of wind.

"Then we'll go too."

"Uh... Luo Yang, you're not trying to tell me that you came here today just to talk about her family matters?" Seeing that Luo Yang was about to leave, Li Yancheng was slightly stunned and asked in surprise.

"That's about right. I just heard Xiaotong mention it to me, so I thought I should tell you about it. Since you're not interested, forget it."

"All right"

Li Yancheng nodded helplessly: "I know you are all busy people, so I won't stay. I still want to thank you for your concern."

"You're welcome. I didn't help much. By the way, Yan Cheng..."

Luo Yang, who was walking out of the house, suddenly remembered something, stopped, turned around and said, "Are those ancient Chinese medicine books particularly precious to you Chinese medicine doctors?"

"Well... of course, all the prescriptions written by Chinese medicine doctors now are passed down from the past. The prescriptions we doctors write are just to make appropriate additions and subtractions to the various herbs in the prescription according to the condition and physical condition of each patient. How did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

Li Yancheng was a little curious as to why Luo Yang suddenly remembered to ask this.

As far as he knew, many ancient books in the libraries, even rare copies, not just those on traditional Chinese medicine, had been taken away.

Some of them were kept properly, and a large part was taken away by people in Luo Yang's committee. He didn't know where they went.

But what he knew was that many books were lost in this way. Those that reappeared several years later were either copies or those that had been put away in advance, and many of the original works were gone, which was a pity.

"That's it."

Hearing Li Yancheng say this, Luo Yang nodded thoughtfully, frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Then I'll bring you a few books later, but..."

At this point, he took two quick steps, lifted the door curtain and looked outside. After making sure that there was no one outside, he continued, "But I'm not saying that. Even if I bring it to you in the future, you have to pack it up and not let others see it, let alone tell anyone else, including your good brother.

I secretly hid those books. You know, I had a difficult disease, so I tried to find a cure from those ancient books, so..."

To be honest, Li Yancheng was really confused at the moment. He really couldn't understand why Luo Yang suddenly asked him to bring him some ancient books on Chinese medicine. He even had some doubts. Was Luo Yang deliberately testing him by saying this?
But think about it, it shouldn't be possible. No matter what, he is receiving treatment now. It would be crazy to get rid of him before his illness is cured.

But this also reminded him that in order to avoid being abandoned after his own failure, he had to leave himself a way out no matter what he did.

"Luo Yang, I think this kind of books... you should keep them yourself. To be honest, I don't have anywhere to put them. They're not easy to keep. What if... hehe, I'm worried that I'll cause you some trouble."

Books, especially those ancient books and rare copies, does Li Yancheng want them? Of course he does.

He didn't have any particularly lofty ideals, although he had once thought that now that he had the warehouse, he could quietly put away some of the things that were lost during this period, which would also reduce the losses.

But after careful consideration, he rejected his idea.

There is no other reason. What he has to do first is to ensure his own safety.

Another most important thing is that he has no idea where those things were put after they were put away.

Besides, even if he knew, would he dare to take it casually? If he was discovered by others, he would really be in an irretrievable situation.

Li Yancheng's reaction made Luo Yang slightly stunned, and then he reacted, shook his head and laughed: "Haha...you...Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"I'm sorry, Luo Yang. I'm afraid of trouble, and I'm even more afraid of causing trouble for others."

"It's okay, it's okay, I understand." Luo Yang smiled and nodded: "Let's go, Xiaotong."

"Let's go, Li Yancheng."

"Okay, I'll send you two off."

Luo Yang and Su Xiaotong came over in a jeep and parked it at the gate of the yard.

Children in cities have seen more of them and are not as surprised as those in rural areas who are curious about seeing a car.

There were many children running and playing in the alley, but no one came over to watch the car. Only when the car started did the children stop and look over here. Some children who were playing in the middle of the road moved to the side of the road and waited for the car to pass by.

"Let's go, Yancheng. I'll come over in the evening."

"Okay, take care, both of you. Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm not helping much."

Li Yancheng waved at the car that had already started, and stood at the gate watching the car slowly drive away.

"Dacheng, that's your friend?"

"Uncle Duan, uh... we're friends."

Duan Xin'an, deputy director of the street office who lived in the next door courtyard No. 21, just came out of their courtyard at this time. He glanced at the jeep that had driven away, walked to the direction of courtyard No. 20 with his hands behind his back, and asked casually with a smile on his face.

"Dacheng, the sign hanging on the door of your house...haha, it's well hung. It can keep out many evildoers and people who are spying on you."

"Alas, there is nothing I can do about it."

"People are all selfish. It's good to have some means of self-protection. Okay, I'll go get some soy sauce. Your aunt is waiting for you at home."

Old Duan shook the soy sauce bottle in his hand and walked towards the entrance of the alley with a smile.
