CEO's Sweet Wife

Chapter 266 A Small Village Isolated From The World

"You three are from outside!" the man asked.

He Zefeng stood in front of the two girls and nodded.

"We saw on the news that the disaster rescue here couldn't keep up, so our medical staff came here first to see if you are sick and need help."

Shen Wan Bai thought that these people would let them in after listening to their words, but he didn't expect that those people still stood there and didn't intend to let them into the village.

"There are witches in our village. You don't need a doctor. You can leave as you come!"

The man's words left Shen Wanbai and the three at a loss.Knowing that they are doctors, they are not welcome, but drive them away, and say that there are witches in the village. Which century's old-fashioned thinking is this?
After a stalemate with that man for a while, He Zefeng decided to turn around and leave after confirming that they would not let him into the village.

It's just that it's getting dark, where can they go if they leave.

"Damn things!"

In desperation, an old voice came from behind the crowd.

Shen Wanbai heard the prestige a few times and looked over, and saw these villagers step aside after hearing the voice.

An old man came out with a hunched body and a cane. The old man walked very slowly, but it could be seen that he had a high status in the village.

The old man looked older than Mr. He, but his eyes were clear and not cloudy. I don't know if it was because he lived in the countryside that his body seemed a lot tougher.

"You guys are really serious. They are doctors who came to help us. If we don't keep them well, we will drive them away. And drive them to the mountains to feed the wolves at night?"

The old man was still very angry as he spoke, and hit the ground twice with the crutch in his hand. The people around him dared not speak, and even dared not breathe out.

"Hello, I'm the village head of Huaiyou Village. They are young and ignorant. Come and sit in our room and drink a cup of hot water!"

Shen Wanbai was then invited into the house. The house was made of stone and a fire was burning inside. Sitting around the fire made people feel a little warmer.

Because of the constant fire in the house, the house was smoky for four weeks, and there was no light bulb in the house. Now I can only rely on a small candle for lighting.

Moreover, this small candle was only lit after Shen Wan Bai and the three of them entered the door, it should be a kerosene lamp that was lit before.

"Are all three of you doctors?" The village head sat down next to the three of them and asked.

"No, I came with them. My main task is to deliver supplies!" He Zefeng said, pointing to the backpack he put aside.

The village chief nodded when he saw this, and the man who blocked them before brought out some sweet potatoes from nowhere.

Seeing that the man Shen Wanbai sent over blushed in embarrassment, he seemed a little too aggressive just now.

"Don't be surprised. Someone came here before, and they also treated us in the name of a doctor. It was only later that we found out that those people took a fancy to our foundation and wanted to buy it. , so I drove them away in a fit of anger, and I didn’t trust others much after that.”

The man distributed the sweet potatoes in the bowl to Shen Wanbai and the others, and explained the reason while distributing them.

Shen Wan Bai didn't know whether to cry or laugh when he heard this.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, the old village head asked a few more questions, and He Zefeng answered them truthfully.The old village chief was also in this chat, and only then did he learn that the road outside into the mountain was actually blocked.

But what surprised Shen Wanbai and the others was that no one in this village knew the news that the mountain was sealed off.

Looking around, Shen Wan Bai could somewhat understand.

From the time they entered the house, except for a lamp that would not turn on, there was nothing that was in line with modern times, as if it was a small village isolated from the world.

"People here don't go out very much, so they don't know much about the outside world. Even the electric light was connected just two years ago. There are only three houses in the village, and my house is one of them."

The boy saw Shen Wan Bai looking at his own electric light, so he explained with some pride.

Shen Wan Bai smiled when he heard this, why didn't he realize that this boy was a little cute before!

"Then if your people don't go out and outsiders don't come in, how are you going to go to school?"

Shen Wan Bai suddenly thought of such a question, seeing that the boy was about the same age, it's unlikely that he didn't even go to school.

"They do go to school. There is a small school in the village, and there is a teacher in it. Every day when they are free, he will teach them to read and read! By the way, he is also a teacher or a doctor!"

The village chief rolled a cigarette while talking, and then started smoking.

The door was pushed open with a squeak of teeth, and a woman walked in. She was still holding firewood in her hand and added it to the fire. It seemed that it was the boy's mother.

After the boy's mother finished speaking, she was about to go to prepare for the next thing, Shen Wan Bai just glanced casually and saw that the boy's mother's wrist was full of suppuration.

"Eldest sister, wait a moment!" Shen Wan Bai hurriedly stopped the man, pushed the man down on the stool, and then played with the woman's sleeve.

Now He Zefeng and Shi Yao also saw clearly that there was a scar on the woman's wrist, which had started to fester due to improper handling, and it had been a day or two since anyone saw it.

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I'll find some herbal medicine and apply it for two or three days and it'll be fine!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her wrist, the woman blushed and wanted to take it back, but Shi Yao held her down.

"Elder Sister, this is not a trivial matter. If your wrist continues to rot, I'm afraid this hand will be useless!"

Shi Yao suppressed the nausea in her heart and said such words. This was the first time she saw such a festering wound.

Shen Wan Bai quickly discussed his movements, took out something from his schoolbag, and started to disinfect the elder sister's wrist.

After cleaning up all the pus and applying medicine, Shen Wan Bai bandaged the elder sister's wrist.

"What happened to your hand? Don't pay attention to it at all. If it breaks later, you will lose a hand!"

Shen Wan Bai still feels terrified when he thinks about it now, if he hadn't seen it just now, I'm afraid this eldest sister will have to endure the pain until her whole hand is useless.

"My mother accidentally fell when she was going up the mountain a few days ago. She originally said that it would be good to put some herbs, but after so many days, it didn't get better!"

"Thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, I don't know when I will be cured, thank you!"

The boy's mother was very grateful, and then hurriedly went down to prepare dinner after saying thank you.

As soon as the boy's mother walked away, the village chief chatted with the three about the current situation in the village.

Shen Wanbai also took advantage of the opportunity to inquire if anyone was sick in the village, but the old village head's answer to this matter was a bit hesitant, and finally he didn't say anything directly.

Such an answer made Shen Wanbai suspicious. Logically speaking, under such weather conditions, one or two people in the village should have caught a cold.

But the old village head didn't mention it to anyone, but this was a matter in his village, Shen Wanbai, as an outsider, couldn't ask too much, the village head didn't say anything, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

After confirming this matter, the three of Shen Wanbai unanimously decided to continue on their way to the next village on the second day.The situation here is not very serious, but not necessarily in the next village.

"What's your name!" Shi Yao chatted with the boy next to him when he was bored.

"Second baby!" The boy's answer made Shi Yao freeze in place.What kind of name is this, there is not even a formal name, the second baby is obviously Xiao Ming.

Shi Yao was impatient, and wanted to say something after hearing Erwa's name, but before she could say anything, she was held down by Shen Wanbai next to her.

After Erwa's mother finished dinner, the group moved to the kitchen to eat. Shen Wanbai thought he would eat sweet potatoes and vegetables, but he didn't expect that there was meat in the pot.

"Because we don't have much contact with the outside world, these pigs and chickens are all raised at home. I made some bacon before Chinese New Year, and I have been eating it until now. Come and try it, this is our specialty."

After listening to the old village chief's introduction, Shen Wanbai picked up a piece, as expected, it really has a special flavor.

This meal should be the happiest meal Shen Wanbai has eaten since he joined the volunteer team, but Shi Yao's food was a little tasteless.

After eating, the boy's mother prepared a room for them to rest.Lying on the bed, Shi Yao couldn't figure out why Shen Wanbai stopped her.

But for some reason, Shi Yao was able to suppress the doubts in her heart without saying a word.

In the end, Shen Wan Bai couldn't help it, and opened his mouth first.

"Shi Yao, it's very backward here, we can't use our thoughts to think about their affairs. It's like they still have witches who don't believe in doctors, but we are soft-spoken and can't do anything at all."

It's not that Shen Wanbai doesn't want to do something, but the reality is here, facing such a closed and ancient village, they can't do anything.

Although the village head had told them that there was no such thing as a witch, maybe Shen Wanbai didn't believe it?The son of the village chief said so swearingly before, it doesn't look like there is nothing.

"Then we don't care about them? This idea is obviously wrong, so don't we say it? Shouldn't we stick to something we think is right from birth? No matter what the result is, just stick to it ah!"

Shi Yao could not quite understand Shen Wanbai's thoughts.

But Shen Wan Bai was able to understand Shi Yao's thoughts.Shi Yao hasn't left the society yet, so she has a sincere heart for everything.But after struggling in the society, who can maintain his sincerity.
