Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

That incident had terrified Wang Tianlai. During his daytime shift at the clinic, he was listless, his head was spinning, and he had no energy at all.

His face was sallow, his eyes were dark and swollen, and he looked even more haggard than if he had been seriously ill. His whole body was limp and he didn't even have the strength to lift his arms. His mind was filled with that dark shadow floating around under the window, and the scratching sound of it scratching the glass. He couldn't forget it no matter how hard he tried.

The clinic was quiet during the day, and there was no commotion in the village, but he felt uneasy and restless.

Someone pushed the door open and brought in a gust of wind, which made him jump. He seemed to lose his soul and slumped in front of his desk, staring blankly.

Just then, a light fragrance wafted in, followed by a clear female voice:

"Hello, I'd like to get some medicine."

Wang Tianlai slowly raised his head, and the moment he looked up, he was completely stunned. His previous half-dead, bear-like appearance vanished instantly.

Her little eyes widened and lit up instantly. She quickly ran her fingers through her hair, completely forgetting the terror that had gripped her so tightly the night before.

The person standing at the door was Chen Yannan.

Wearing a light blue shirt and jeans, she was 1.75 meters tall, with an upright posture, a classic beauty.

The sunlight fell on her, making her look clean and fresh. She had a completely different vibe from the other girls in the village. Her skin was fair, and her face was full of collagen, making her stand out and look particularly attractive.

Wang Tianlai's heart was pounding wildly; he was incredibly nervous. He quickly straightened his wrinkled white coat, deliberately using a high-pitched voice to feign politeness and solicitity, and asked in a strange tone:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Come sit down, let me take a good look at you!"

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled over a stool next to him, being overly attentive; the deliberate effort was obvious at a glance.

Hearing his awkward tone, Chen Yannan frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it and said in a flat tone:

"It's not that I'm not feeling well, it's that Brother Chen asked me to come and get some medicine for my throat, cold medicine, and anti-inflammatory drugs, just in case."

"Oh, this is what Brother Chen wanted..."

Wang Tianlai felt a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to delay. He immediately got up and went to the medicine cabinet to rummage through the medicine boxes. While rummaging through the medicine boxes, he secretly turned his head to look at the person, his eyes glued to him.

He thought to himself, "No wonder she's a college student from the city. Her figure and looks are incomparable to the girls in the village. She has a slim waist, long legs, and is tall. She seems to be even taller than me. She's much more attractive than Xiangxiu. Compared to her, Xiangxiu looks like she was dug out of a coal pile."

After packing the medicine, Wang Tianlai handed it over with both hands and mustered up his courage to speak:

"You must be the new college graduate technician? My name is Wang Tianlai, and I haven't been here long either."

"Yes, it's me."

Chen Yannan nodded lightly, took the medicine without saying another word, and turned to leave.

Wang Tianlai immediately leaned against the door frame, craning his neck to look, his eyes fixed on the person's back until he could no longer see them, before reluctantly turning his gaze away.

He touched his pounding chest and murmured to himself:

"Oh my god, this girl is so beautiful, she's absolutely gorgeous! Li Daguo really didn't lie to me."

He had previously complained that the health clinic was frightening and was single-mindedly looking for a transfer.

Ever since he saw Chen Yannan, his desire to transfer has completely vanished. He even wishes he could stay on duty at the clinic every day, hoping to run into her a few more times.

……

Before we knew it, it was past ten o'clock at night.

It was completely dark, and the village was eerily quiet.

The clinic had only one light on, and the night wind howled outside, making the paper windows rustle loudly. It was even more eerie than last night, sending chills down my spine.

As soon as it got dark, Wang Tianlai's lustful courage vanished again; the shadow of last night had not yet dissipated.

He started pestering Xiangxiu from the afternoon, using all sorts of tactics, including pleading, begging, and acting pitiful, to stay and keep him company on duty.

"Show, I'm begging you, just stay with me for a little while! I really can't stay here by myself! I was almost scared to death last night, I definitely can't stay alone tonight!"

Xiangxiu, worn down by his nagging, could only nod and stay, sitting in a chair slowly knitting a sweater, occasionally rolling her eyes and complaining about him:

"Let me tell you, I'll just stay with you for a little while. There are no ghosts in the world. You're just scaring yourself. You haven't done anything wrong, so what are you feeling guilty about?"

The two chatted idly for a while, and it was almost eleven o'clock when Xiangxiu yawned and started tidying up her knitting needles.

"No, it's too late, I need to go home and sleep."

"Wait! Don't go!"

Wang Tianlai panicked instantly, his face turned pale with fright, and his eyes turned red as if he was about to cry:

"Xiangxiu, I beg you, please stay with me a little longer. I really can't bear to be left here alone!"

Xiangxiu, unable to resist his persistent pestering, sighed helplessly and sat down again.

"Fine, fine, I give up. Wait another half hour. You're a grown man, but you're as timid as a mouse. Aren't you ashamed?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a dark shadow flashed past the window.

A tall, ethereal, dark shadow with disheveled hair was clearly reflected in the glass. It flickered for a moment and then disappeared. The scene was incredibly eerie.

Clang!

Xiangxiu dropped the knitting needles from her hand, her whole body stiffened, her scalp tingled instantly, her throat tightened, and she screamed:

"ah!!!"

Wang Tianlai's screams were even more frightening. He let out a loud yell, his body went limp, and he scurried under the bed, clutching his head tightly with both hands, trembling like a leaf, and wailing at the top of his lungs:

"Here it comes again! Oh my god! The ghost is here again!"

Behind the back wall of the clinic, it was pitch black. Lin Chen had come here specifically tonight to stake out the place, knowing that the person who pretended to be a ghost last night would definitely come back to cause trouble again. He hid in the shadows early on, keeping a close watch without moving.

A moment later, a furtive shadow crept along the wall and was clearly seen by Lin Chen on the wall.

He found the tattered black raincoat, crouched quietly against the wall, put it on, smeared a thick layer of talcum powder on his face, and even put on a mask today, preparing to repeat his old trick to scare people again.

Lin Chen watched coldly the whole time without saying a word. After he finished tidying up, he bent over and went to the window. He ran quickly to the window and then heard a scream from inside the house.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to scratch the glass, Lin Chen silently circled around behind him.

Without saying a word, he gathered his strength and kicked him hard in the lower back.

"Bang!"

Li Daguo was completely unprepared. He lost his balance, screamed, and fell face-first into the mud. Most of the talcum powder on his face was rubbed off. Luckily, it was mud; if it had been a cement road, his face would have been ruined.

Before he could get up, Lin Chen stepped forward, pressed down on his back, and then landed two punches on his back.

Li Daguo screamed in pain. Lin Chen turned him around, grabbed him by the neck, and without removing his mask, rained blows on him.

Li Daguo, his voice hoarse, cried and wailed:

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! It's me, Brother Chen! Da Guo! Li Da Guo!"

Lin Chen grabbed him by the back of the collar, pulled him up, removed his mask, and coldly reprimanded him:

"Li Daguo, are you bored out of your mind? Instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, you're here playing ghosts and scaring people! If you really scare Wang Tianlai badly, can you take responsibility?"

Li Daguo grimaced in pain, kneeling on the ground, his chest and back aching terribly, and quickly begged for mercy:

"Brother Chen, I was really wrong. I just felt uneasy seeing Wang Tianlai always hanging around Xiangxiu, so I wanted to scare him and make him transfer on his own. I really didn't mean anything by it!"

He pleaded in a low voice:

"Brother Chen, I'm begging you, please don't tell Xiangxiu about this. If she finds out I did something so despicable, she'll definitely break up with me. Please keep this from me this once!"

Lin Chen sneered and threw the raincoat into his arms:

"Don't try that on me. I'll let you off the hook today. Take this piece of junk and get out of here. If I see you playing tricks on me again, it won't just be a couple of punches!"

"I'll remember this! I'll never do it again!"

Li Daguo felt like he had been granted a pardon. He grabbed his raincoat and scrambled to his feet, clutching his lower back and wincing in pain. Without looking back, he took off running, only to stop after a few steps. The pain was unbearable; he suspected he had broken a bone, but he couldn't express his suffering.

Inside the room, under the bed, Wang Tianlai was still trembling, clutching his head.

Hearing the screams outside, he stammered:

"Wow... that scream is even scarier than that ghostly wail from before... it's so horrible..."

Xiangxiu's face was deathly pale. She gripped her phone tightly. She had just called Li Daguo, but it rang for a long time without being answered, which made her even more panicked.

"Xiu, did you hear that? It's a mess outside... It doesn't sound like ghosts, it sounds like people are shouting!"

Xiangxiu was so frightened that she dared not breathe and huddled in the corner, not daring to move.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.

The two were already on edge, and the knock on the door startled them even more, their screams even louder than before.

Lin Chen's helpless voice came from outside the door:

"It's me, Lin Chen. Open the door! It's alright!"

Upon hearing Lin Chen's voice, Xiangxiu rushed over to open the door as if she had seen a relative.

As soon as the door opened, she threw herself into Lin Chen's arms, her voice trembling with tears as she said:

"Brother Chen! You're finally here! You scared me to death, there was a ghost!"

Wang Tianlai quickly crawled out from under the bed, covered in dust, and moved to the doorway, clinging to the doorframe, sobbing as he approached:

"Xiu, move aside a bit, give me some room! Chen-ge, give me a hug too! I'm so scared! I'm terrified!"
