Chapter 107 Sadness and Joy
"Alright, alright, don't cry. Let me take a good look at where you're hurt. Where are your parents and older brother? How badly are you injured?"

Yan Xi gently coaxed him a few times, then helped him up with both hands and began to look him over from head to toe.

Summer clothes are thin, and her clothes were not only stained with blood from rolling in mud and water, but also torn and worn in several places.

His hair was disheveled and mixed with mud, forming clumps. He looked as disheveled as could be.

“Mom and the others are resting in that room. Dad and my older brother are more seriously injured, but neither of them are in life-threatening danger. I’m fine, I just scraped my skin a little.”

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying and that there were no serious injuries on her body, Yan Xi let go of her hand and went to the inner room of the pharmacy.

A short while later, he came out with red eyes but a much more relaxed expression.

"Uncle, what brings you here?"

“I heard the news from your friend, and I couldn’t be at ease without seeing it with my own eyes, so I rushed over as fast as I could.”

"Uncle Yan".

"Ningning, what are you doing here?"

"Uncle, listen to me, if Ning Baogai and the others hadn't arrived in time..."

Before Su Ning could explain, Luo Shuangshuang quickly recounted the whole story to him again.

No matter how many times she recounts it, she still feels lingering fear when she recalls the incident.

As expected, Yan Xi thanked Su Ning profusely after hearing this, just as Youyou had said. If it weren't for their help, and if she hadn't come prepared with the worst-case scenario and brought that secret medicine...

Yan Xi couldn't even imagine what the outcome would be!

"Ningning, you not only saved Youyou again, but you also saved the lives of everyone in the Yan and Luo families. I... I thank you..."

"Uncle Yan, please don't do this! You can't kneel before me! I'm Xiyou's friend, and I'm willing to do these things!"

Having had a few experiences, Su Ning noticed his movement, her scalp tingled, and without thinking, she grabbed his arm.

Luo Shuangshuang, belatedly realizing what her uncle was about to do, quickly wrapped her other arm around his, saying, "Uncle, don't do that, or Ning Baogai will be so embarrassed, and you'll scare her away!"

"Fine, fine, you two let go of me, especially you, Youyou!"

He said he was just excited and didn't know how to thank her properly, so he acted unconsciously. Why did he secretly pinch himself?

She's such a wonderful niece of his!

"Hmph. Who told you to scare us!"

Although she knew he was genuinely grateful, Luo Shuangshuang really didn't want this to happen.

When family members came, they all knelt down upon seeing each other. Ning Baogai was embarrassed because Xiao Ruozhen had really run away. Where could she find such a lifelong friend again?

"Ningning, since your secret medicine was passed down from your ancestors, there must not be many left. It's such a precious thing, so we should at least give some of it. Otherwise, we'd feel bad. We absolutely have to accept it!"

Yan Xi tapped Luo Shuangshuang's forehead, chuckled and scolded her in an annoyed tone, then turned to look at her seriously. This thank-you gift wasn't urgent; the two families could discuss it slowly.

It's only right to pay for something that can save your life; you can't use something so rare that it saved your life and then pretend nothing happened.

"this…"

“Yes, Ning Baogai, this medicine is so effective, it must be rare. I heard from Doctor Ge that it also contains ginseng. We can’t let you lose money on it no matter what.”

This time, Luo Shuangshuang sided with her uncle. She had originally planned to discuss it privately with her parents, but since her uncle had brought it up in public, she had to take the opportunity to express her opinion.

She didn't know the exact value of a single ginseng root, but she'd heard Doctor Ge say, "There's a market for it, but no price; there's also a price but no market."

It's not hard to tell from this exclamation that this is just one of the secret medicines.

"No rush, we'll talk about it later."

"How can we talk about it later!"

Before Luo Shuangshuang and Yan Xi could say anything, a strong and resonant voice came from outside the half-open door.

Puzzled, the three went outside and discovered that the small kitchen had been filled with people.

Thinking of Yan Xi, Su Ning instantly realized that these must be relatives who had rushed over from the pharmacy after being injured.

They were only slightly slower than Yan Xi. Having entered the courtyard, they were eager to find their families. Seeing the firelight and strong smell of medicine behind the half-open door, they naturally rushed over to investigate. By chance, they overheard their entire conversation, learning the whole story and that it was the young woman who had specifically come looking for them who had brought the life-saving item, which had saved their loved ones' lives…

"Girl, we'll cover the cost of the medicine, whatever it takes!"

"Yes, that's true. My mother is all I have left. If she's gone..."

Among them, a burly man, still wearing his work clothes and apron, rushed over anxiously in a water hyacinth borrowed from someone, along with other people in town who had received the news.

His father died early, and his mother single-handedly raised the three brothers. Now, the youngest brother has also started his own family.

Just as they were about to show their filial piety as her son and daughter-in-law, it was precisely the time for her to begin enjoying her retirement...

After wiping his face vigorously, Peng Dashu was excited that he would have plenty of time to fulfill his filial duties in the future, and he was naturally even more grateful to the benefactor who had acted bravely and saved his mother's life.

Judging from the girl's description, one of them must be his mother, absolutely!
Even if it drained his savings for this life-saving medicine, he would be happy to owe a huge sum of money!
"Young lady, I'm Old Peng, the head chef of the state-run restaurant in Yong County. If you ever come to the county, be sure to look me up; I have many signature dishes..."

"Peng Sandao, please step aside after you've finished speaking!"

An elderly woman with bound feet pushed aside the man who was still talking non-stop and about to list the names of the dishes, and squeezed forward to tightly hold the hands of the two girls.

"Little girl, you just said you saved a little girl, right? She's so tall with two little pigtails and wearing a floral dress, isn't she?"

"Correct."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, God bless me, boohoo..."

Ignoring the tears of joy streaming down her face, the old woman pressed on, "Where are my sons? Are they here too? How badly are they hurt? Our Meng family will accept that medicine, no matter the price!"

As long as the person is still alive, it's worth spending any amount of money.

"..."

Thinking back to when they rescued the little girl, the body lying on top of her, which took Fu Jiaming and Yan Bei a great deal of effort to move...

For a moment, neither Su Ning nor his partner knew how to respond.

"Young lady, is there a Xu Dafu among them? He's fair-skinned, thin, and in his forties. He's a teacher at the town's No. 2 Elementary School..."

“Girls, girls… there’s Luo Juanjuan, she has a beauty mark on her face, right here, do you see her?”

Because of their hesitation, the crowd, feeling panicked, rushed forward, each trying to ascertain the safety of their loved ones.

Those anxious, expectant, and even pleading looks brought tears to their eyes.

They all knew that compared to the few who were rescued, there were far too many who were left behind in the accident and would never be able to reunite with their families.

"What's all this noise about! Don't you want the injured person to recover in peace?!"

Old Ge was still holding a scale in his hand, so he must have been busy picking up medicine inside.

Hearing the increasingly noisy voices in the courtyard, he stepped out of the room with a dark face and shouted angrily.

Immediately, everyone in the courtyard stopped asking questions and turned their attention to him.

"One person from each family should go in and take a look. Whether they are injured or not, they should come out immediately. They are injured, have taken medicine, and urgently need to rest!"

"have you understood?"

Everyone nodded. Even though they were anxious, they didn't want to offend the doctor, as their family members inside still needed his treatment.

One by one, following Old Ge's instructions, everyone began to enter the pharmacy in an orderly manner.

Among those who emerged were people sobbing with their faces buried in their hands, others pacing aimlessly with blank expressions, and still others collapsing to the ground, wailing in agony…

Old Man Ge probably knew how difficult it would be for them to remain calm and quiet at this moment, so he could only sigh and turn back into the house without saying a word.

Are we really going to kick them all out of the yard?
Crying and wailing in the yard is better than huddling together in the house in a frenzy.

"Waaah, honey, how am I supposed to tell my two kids... that you're just gone like that? I told you I wouldn't go after sports cars anymore, but you wouldn't listen..."

"Is it the ticket seller?"

"Oh...yes, a girl..."

"She and another seriously injured person were taken to Yuanxian Hospital by our friends."

"Wh...where?"
