Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

In the darkness, Yang Xiaoyue stood by the window of the main room, watched the lights in Xu Changping's house go out, then turned and entered the bedroom separated by a curtain.

She couldn't and didn't dare tell Xu Changping that she could absorb the medicinal power in Xiao Mi's body.

He silently placed his hands on Xiao Mi's body, used all his strength to activate the wood-based abilities in his body, and began to devour her.

Suddenly, Yang Xiaoyue's face turned pale, she withdrew her hands from Xiao Mi, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Unlike yesterday when she was about to break through, today she suffered the backlash of the medicine.

I thought that I could take advantage of the breakthrough I just had and make a concerted effort to absorb more of the medicinal power in Xiao Mi's body.

She didn't expect that this rare and precious medicine had such a strong effect. With her physical condition, she almost suffered the same fate as Xiao Mi and fell into a coma.

In order to prevent the backlash, Yang Xiaoyue could only use all her strength to activate her special powers and absorb the medicinal power in her body.

Fortunately, this happened at night, otherwise if people saw the big trees in the east wing turning yellow and green, green and yellow, who knows how much trouble would have been caused.

Just when it was about to dawn, Yang Xiaoyue opened her eyes, and the first thing she did was to check on Xiao Mi on the bed.

Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly and not affected, he took off his coat, closed his eyes and lay down to take a nap.

Although she wasn't sleepy after practicing, she hadn't slept all night and her body instinctively wanted her to rest.

When she closed her eyes, Yang Xiaoyue fell asleep in a daze without knowing when.

----

The next morning, after Xu Changping got up and sat on the kang and practiced the exercises three times, he did not hear any sound of anyone moving in the yard.

When he opened the door and saw the closed door next door, he did not go over to disturb them. He just turned around quietly and went back to the house, put some food in the kitchen, and went out to work.

After the flu virus passed, Xu Changping became idle in the infirmary.

In the morning, I took some time to attend a few hours of class with Teacher Xuni, and in the afternoon I sorted out the cases brought by Xiao Gang and others, and the day passed by.

When Xu Changping got off work in the evening, he had just changed his clothes and was about to leave when he saw Zhang Xiaolong walking in with a familiar man.

Xu Changping took a closer look and immediately stood up to greet him: "Comrade Zhang, when did you come back?"

Zhang Aiguo took two quick steps, shook hands with Xu Changping, and said with a smile:

"Director Xu, I just came back and was dragged here by Xiaolong. I have to trouble you again today."

Thinking of what Zhang Xiaolong had said before about his cousin being injured and hospitalized, Xu Changping smiled and replied, "It's no trouble, please come in and take a seat."

When Zhang Aiguo sat down, Zhang Xiaolong rushed to say, "Brother Xu, please help my brother to see if he has any hidden injuries."

Xu Changping did not reply to Zhang Xiaolong's words. He first said to the two nurses Zhou who were still in the infirmary waiting for instructions:

"I don't have anything to do here, you should get off work."

After watching the two leave, Xu Changping explained to Zhang Aiguo and his brother:

"The factory is not allowed to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat diseases now."

"Understood. Please take a look."

Although Zhang Aiguo didn't understand why there was such a rule, he still nodded respectfully and placed his wrist on the pulse pillow.

After a while, Xu Changping took back the three fingers on Zhang Aiguo's wrist and said in a gentle tone:

"Comrade Zhang is recovering well. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to promote bone recovery. Go back and drink some to consolidate your health, and you'll be fine."

"Thank you, Director Xu. I'm just getting off work now. I'll treat you to a hotpot dinner."

Zhang Aiguo felt relieved after hearing what Xu Changping said. After all, he was seriously injured this time.

Xu Changping quickly waved his hand and refused: "No need to bother, I have something else to do at home, I'll have a chance next time."

"Okay, let's make an appointment another day."

Seeing Xu Changping's words, Zhang Aiguo did not force it. When he got off the train, he happened to meet Zhang Xiaolong who was loading goods. He was pulled here without even going home.

Xu Changping packed up simply and followed the two Zhang brothers out of the infirmary. They walked all the way to the entrance of the steel rolling mill before going home separately.

Zhang Xiaolong had just heard Xu Changping's diagnosis of his cousin, and on the way he was thinking whether he should tell him about the woman's pregnancy first, so that he wouldn't be caught off guard when he returned.

"careful!"

A loud shout rang out behind him, and before he could come to his senses, the bicycle was forced to stop.

Zhang Xiaolong's back suddenly broke out in sweat. It turned out that he had ridden his bicycle to the side of the road without knowing when and almost hit a tree.

He turned around and gave his cousin a grateful smile. When he was about to say something, he heard Zhang Aiguo's scolding voice.

"Xiaolong, what were you thinking about just now? You didn't pay attention when riding your bike. What if you hit someone?"

"I'm missing your wife." Zhang Xiaolong blurted out the words for some reason.

"Uh...what did you say?"

Zhang Aiguo was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong, and asked again.

"Oh, cousin, I better tell you. I've been holding this in my heart for a long time."

Zhang Xiaolong glanced around and found that the surroundings were quite empty, so he immediately decided to say it here.

"what's up?"

Zhang Aiguo frowned and asked Zhang Xiaolong. In fact, the last time Zhang Xiaolong went to the army to find him, he found something wrong.

However, he stayed for two days and left without saying anything, and Zhang Aiguo kept the matter deep in his heart.

"Cousin, you have to promise that after I tell you this, you won't be too impulsive and do something irreversible."

Zhang Xiaolong first gave Zhang Aiguo a shot of prevention to prevent him from doing anything irreversible in the heat of the moment.

After all, my cousin has a bright future in the army, and he can't let anything happen to him because of that woman.

"I promise, tell me."

When Zhang Aiguo heard what Zhang Xiaolong said, his heart sank little by little and his face became gloomy.

Zhang Xiaolong faced Zhang Aiguo's horrified look and gritted his teeth as he spoke out his findings:

"My cousin's wife is pregnant."

"She's pregnant, so what? Why are you making such a scene like that?" Zhang Aiguo didn't react at first and scolded Zhang Xiaolong.

Then he was stunned for a moment, grabbed Zhang Xiaolong's shoulder and asked, "Pregnant, who did you just say was pregnant?"

Zhang Xiaolong stammered nervously, "Yes, yes, it's my cousin's wife, your wife."

Although Zhang Xiaolong was afraid of his cousin's gloomy face, he still held his arm tightly to prevent him from doing anything in anger.

What he didn't expect was that what he faced next was not Zhang Aiguo's rage, but a long silence.

The sun gradually set, and only after the last ray of light was swallowed up did Zhang Xiaolong hear Zhang Aiguo's hoarse voice:

"She is pregnant."

"Cousin, don't be like this. A woman like her is not worth your sadness."

Zhang Xiaolong didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of accidentally irritating Zhang Aiguo again.

"She's pregnant. Haha, it's good that I let her go free."

"Cousin."

Hearing Zhang Aiguo's words, Zhang Xiaolong called him carefully, but in his heart he suspected that he was mad.

"I'm fine." Zhang Aiguo ignored Zhang Xiaolong's thoughts and asked, "By the way, do my parents know about this?"

"I don't know. She has been staying at home recently and hasn't come out much."

Zhang Xiaolong immediately shook his head and said that although he went to work every day, his wife helped to keep an eye on him.

Hearing that his parents didn't know about this, Zhang Aiguo felt relieved and immediately told Zhang Xiaolong:

"Xiaolong, don't tell anyone about this. I'll talk to her about divorce when I get home."

"Cousin, even though it's not decent to tell this to others, you can't let that woman off so easily!"

Zhang Xiaolong didn't understand what Zhang Aiguo was thinking and said indignantly.

Seeing his cousin so angry, Zhang Aiguo chuckled and said, "Xiaolong, you know that Director Xu treated me before."

"Well, I know, and I was the one who took you there." After Zhang Xiaolong answered, he became confused.

Could it be that my cousin grew so tall in vain and Xu Changping didn't cure him, so that woman went out to have an affair?

Zhang Aiguo seemed to know that Zhang Xiaolong had misunderstood, and said unhappily: "Don't let your imagination run wild. It has nothing to do with what you think."

"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong laughed dryly and said nothing.

Zhang Aiguo rolled his eyes at Zhang Xiaolong, sneered and said:

"Actually, I came to see Director Xu to ask if I could be less energetic. Your cousin's wife and I have been married for the past few years and things have not been harmonious."

"Um, so cousin, what you mean is that your kidneys are not bad, but too good?"

Zhang Xiaolong was unhappy when he heard this answer. He felt that he had grown in vain and needed to take medicine occasionally.

"Haha, Director Xu gave me another solution besides divorce, which is to let your sister-in-law exercise more, but it seems that your sister-in-law still chose divorce."

In fact, when Zhang Aiguo heard Zhang Xiaolong's words, he was not only angry, but also relieved.

"Well... if that's the case, let's go back now without further delay."

Since Zhang Aiguo is no longer angry, he doesn't want to waste time here anymore, so he should go home and hug his wife.

The two separated at the door of Zhang Xiaolong's house, and Zhang Aiguo walked home alone.

———Chapter 322———

Xu Changping had no trouble along the way and soon returned to the courtyard. However, he did not expect to see He Yuzhu's bearded face again when he pushed his bicycle into the central courtyard.

Xu Changping paused for a moment. Although he had a bad feeling in his heart, he still went forward to meet the man. There was nothing he could do about it since this man was blocking his way home.

Although he is very gossipy, he is not really interested in such trivial matters.

When He Yuzhu saw Xu Changping, his eyes lit up. Fearing that he would run away, he immediately called out:

"Brother Xu, it's time to get off work!"

"Brother He, you're still planning on drinking today!"

Xu Changping glanced at the oil-paper bag and wine bottle in He Yuzhu's hands, and said helplessly.

"Drink with me, or I don't know who to find."

He Yuzhu knew very well that he had no one to talk to about their little troubles except Xu Changping.

Since it concerns a man's dignity, he never mentioned it to He Daqing.

What's more, he also wanted to ask today whether there was any way in traditional Chinese medicine to identify the parent-child relationship.

"Let's go."

Xu Changping had no choice but to nod and agree, and took He Yuzhu back to the East Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the east wing, Yang Xiaoyue came up to me and shouted with a smile:

"Brother Xu, you're back!"

"Well, how is Xiao Mi doing today? Is there any change?"

"Brother Xu, Xiao Mi woke up for a while in the afternoon, can you take a look at her?"

Yang Xiaoyue had been waiting in the yard for Xu Changping to get off work, and she had heard the conversation between He Yuzhu and the others just now.

However, Xiao Mi woke up for a while in the afternoon. She suspected that it was related to the medicine she took last night, so she wanted to see what Xu Changping would say.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Xu Changping nodded, turned around and said to He Yuzhu, "Brother He, please go inside and sit for a while. I'll go see Xiao Mi and be back."

"Is Xiao Mi sick? I'll go with you to take a look."

In fact, faced with this situation, He Yuzhu should have left tactfully, but at the moment, in his heart, his child's affairs were more important than his face, so he stayed shamelessly.

Yang Xiaoyue actually didn't want other people to know about Xiao Mi's situation, but because He Yuzhu was brought back by Xu Changping, she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"No need, Xiao Mi just has a cold, I'll go over and take a look. Your sister-in-law is still pregnant, if you bring the cold virus back and infect her, it will be troublesome."

Xu Changping didn't want others to know about Xiao Mi's situation, so he made up an excuse.

After hearing what Xu Changping said, He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go get the dishes ready first."

Although he is not sure whether the baby in Bai Yingying's belly is his, he does not want Bai Yingying to get sick because he will have to take care of her.

After tricking He Yuzhu away, Xu Changping followed Yang Xiaoyue into the house.

Seeing Xiao Mi with a rosy face sleeping on the bed, Xu Changping walked up to her, grabbed her little wrist and found out what was going on.

Feeling Xiao Mi's physical condition, Xu Changping's eyebrows tightened and relaxed from time to time.

After a while, he put down Xiao Mi's wrist, frowned slightly and said to Yang Xiaoyue:

"For some reason, the potency of the medicine in Xiao Mi's body has suddenly decreased a lot. According to the current situation, her physical strengthening this time may end soon."

Yang Xiaoyue said with surprise: "Really?"

"Well, you're fine. Just be careful. In her current condition, she may wake up at any time."

Seeing that Yang Xiaoyue was so excited that she was about to cry, Xu Changping patted her shoulder soothingly and gave her some advice.

"Okay, I understand. Brother Xu, please go back quickly. He Yuzhu is still waiting for you."

Yang Xiaoyue wiped her eyes and spoke softly.

"Well, I'll be leaving first. Call me if you need anything."

After Xu Changping finished speaking, he turned around and left the Yang family, ready to go back and face his new husband, He Yuzhu.
