Chapter 227 Her Child
Chapter 227 Her Child
Thirty years ago, when Yunmiao was seventeen, she met a young man who had come from the city to the countryside.
It was a spring morning when Yunmiao went outside to swim and saw a person lying on the riverbank.
As Yunmiao approached, she saw a young man with delicate features, but his face was deathly pale. He lay there with his eyes closed, as if he were ill.
"Hey, wake up!"
Yunmiao put down the carrying pole and walked to the boy's side, nudging him, but he didn't react at all.
"What happened to you?"
Yunmiao tried to check his breath with her hand and found that he was still alive, but when she touched his body, she found that he was burning hot.
Are you sick?
Without thinking twice, Yunmiao put down the buckets and carrying pole and carried the young man home.
When they got home, Uncle Yun saw his daughter carrying a man back and hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?"
"Dad! He's sick. He collapsed by the river. I found him when I went to fetch water."
When Uncle Yun heard that the person the woman was carrying back had a fever, he rushed over to check on him and said, "It seems like his wound is infected!"
"Wound?"
Uncle Yun was the village's barefoot doctor, and he immediately noticed that the man had a fever due to an infected wound.
"Yes! Let me see where he's injured."
Uncle Yun lifted the young man's clothes and found that his wound was on his stomach, as if he had been stabbed.
"The wound is here; it looks like a knife wound."
After saying this, Uncle Yun looked at his daughter and said, "A person with knife wounds must be being chased by enemies. Daughter, we can't keep this person. Take him back to where you carried him from."
"No! If we don't save him, he'll die soon. Father, I have to save this man."
Unable to persuade the stubborn Yun Miao, Uncle Yun had no choice but to keep her here.
Soon, Uncle Yun helped the young man brew medicine and cured his illness.
After recovering from her illness, she became even more beautiful, and Yunmiao blushed every time she saw her.
“Your name is Yunmiao, right? My name is Xie Dan. I came here because I was being chased by my enemies. I was originally from Mapo Town in Xiliang. I need to leave you and my uncle immediately, otherwise if people find out I’m here, it will cause trouble for you and my uncle.”
Yunmiao was surprised to hear that the young man was from Xiliang: "So far away? How will you get back?"
"I'll try my best. Thank you for saving my life, young lady. I'll be back soon."
The young man left after saying these words, but before he even reached the gate, he was blocked by a group of men in black.
"Xie Dan! We've searched the entire Western Liang region, and it turns out you were hiding here?"
The man in the lead was tall and burly, speaking with a strong Xiliang accent.
"What do you want? Let's talk outside and not bother them."
The man in black looked up at Yun Miao, his eyes blazing with anger: "This chick is pretty good, she's fresh-faced and beautiful, come here!"
Hearing this, Yunmiao was so frightened that she quickly backed away. Xie Dan saw this and hurriedly stood in front of her, saying, "I already said that my affairs have nothing to do with others. I just came here to get medicine. Don't do anything rash."
"Nonsense! If this woman hadn't saved you, would you be alive today?"
The man in black licked his cheek with his tongue, then looked back at his men: "Take him away!"
Yunmiao was grabbed by two men in black. She struggled fiercely, shouting, "Don't do anything rash! I'll call for help!"
The man in black chuckled twice: "Go ahead and shout. Let me tell you, even if you shout until you're hoarse, no one will come to save you today."
"Help! Help..."
Yunmiao's mouth was covered by the man in black, and she could only make fragmented sounds.
"Stop! What are you trying to do? I've already said that my business has nothing to do with that girl. Don't hurt innocent people."
"Innocent? You think my ears are just for show? I know everything. This bitch saved you, so we're taking her away today. My brothers haven't had any meat in a long time."
All the men in black gleamed with lewdness in their eyes. Seeing this, Yunmiao cried out in terror, "Father, save me!"
When Uncle Yun returned home, he saw the men in black stripping his daughter's clothes off. He angrily shouted, "I've called the police! If you dare to do anything reckless, you'll definitely go to jail!"
The man in black focused his attention on Yun Bo: "So it was you, you old codger, who helped Xie Dan cure his illness?"
Uncle Yun glanced at Xie Dan, knowing that today's events were all related to him.
“I saved her, it has nothing to do with my daughter. Let her go, and if you have any problems, come at me.”
Aunt Yun has been dead for many years. Uncle Yun raised Yun Miao all by himself, and he was willing to risk his life to protect his daughter.
“I know you saved her, but your daughter has to pay the price for what she did.”
After saying this, the leader in black looked at his subordinates and said, "Take her to her room. I want her to experience what it's like to go against me."
"You can't touch her!"
Xie Dan stretched out her arm and protected Yun Miao tightly.
"Get the hell out of my way!"
The leader in black took matters into his own hands, and Xie Dan was pushed aside and fell.
When Uncle Yun saw that these people were going to harm his daughter, he couldn't stand it anymore. He looked around and picked up a fork, pointing it at the leader in black: "Release my daughter, or I will die with you."
The leader in black, seeing the fork in Uncle Yun's hand pointed at his neck, became a little scared and waved his hand: "Let her go!"
"But, head..."
The men in black were still imagining what it would be like to have some fun later.
"I told you to release them, so you released them. Why all the nonsense?"
Unexpectedly, the man in black used a feigned retreat to advance. As Yun Miao was released, he suddenly walked over and snatched the fork from Uncle Yun's hand.
"I'll deal with this old bastard first!"
At the leader's command, everyone swarmed around and began punching and kicking Uncle Yun.
"Please stop hitting me, I beg you."
Yunmiao cried and shouted, and Xie Dan took the opportunity to pull her aside: "Go out and call for help. Tell them there's a thief in the house."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yunmiao went out to call for help. When the neighbors gathered, she returned to the courtyard and found Uncle Yun and Xie Dan lying in pools of blood. The man in black had disappeared.
When Yunmiao saw this, she shouted "Father!" and ran over to hug Uncle Yun, who was covered in blood.
"Father, don't leave me."
Yunmiao was on the verge of collapse. After everyone helped take Uncle Yun and Xie Dan to the local hospital, Xie Dan survived by chance, but Uncle Yun died.
With the help of the villagers, Yunmiao buried Uncle Yun and also had to take care of Xie Dan, who was seriously injured.
Xie Dan was not able to get out of bed for another month. He was also deeply saddened when he learned of Yun Bo's death. With Yun Miao's help, he went to Yun Bo's grave and cried, saying that he would be Yun Bo's son from now on.
Xie Dan stayed at the Yun family home and even married Yun Miao.
Yunmiao followed in her father's footsteps and became a barefoot doctor in the countryside. Six months later, she became pregnant.
