Since the Yin Spirit had learned to glide with the wind, its moving speed had greatly increased.
It took Luo Yang only a minute to reach the Village Office from Qin Piao's house, which was a few hundred meters away.
The dormitory window was not lit, making it hard to tell whether Fang Lin was inside. Gliding through the main gate of the Village Office and up the stairs to the second floor, Luo Yang hadn't yet reached Fang Lin's dorm when he heard sounds coming from it.
Taking a few steps closer, indeed, he could hear the low humming sounds more clearly, indicating that Fang Lin was indeed still inside her dorm.
However, while Qin Piao liked to fight "Qie Zi" with the lights on, Fang Lin's dorm was dark, indicating she was a low-key beauty.
Whether Fang Lin was alone in the dormitory or not was hard to judge.
Approaching the door, Luo Yang listened carefully to the sounds; there seemed to be no creaking noise from the bed. As he floated into the room, the dim light inside made it difficult to clearly see her actions, but he could hear Fang Lin's deep, urgent panting and groaning.
After listening for a while, he realized she was lying on the bed groaning in pain, evidently sick.
Although he did not know why she did not seek out the village doctor, Tang Guihua, the painful, intermittent moans made it clear that she was suffering from either a headache or stomach ache.
Luo Yang immediately returned to Qin Piao's house. After the Yin Spirit returned to his body, he turned and gently shook An Yuying, then leaned in close to whisper in her ear.
In the dim light, An Yuying saw Luo Yang leaning over her and immediately used her palm to block his mouth, then bit his ear, whispering, "It's very late. I want to sleep. You should sleep too."
Hearing this, he knew she had misunderstood.
Luo Yang moved her hand away and, close to her face, softly said, "Sister An, I need to go out for a bit. I'll be back soon. Could you open the door for me when I return?"
It was already deep into the night, and An Yuying curiously asked, "What are you going to do?"
Luo Yang did not have time to explain in detail why he knew Fang Lin was sick, as it would take quite a bit of talking and it was still difficult to clarify.
"Just a small matter. After I leave, lock the door well. If someone tries to force their way in, call me immediately," Luo Yang instructed.
He had just scouted the area and didn't notice any suspicious signs. In the middle of the night, he felt that going out briefly, Hong Jiaxin should be safe.
Thus, he hurriedly got out of bed, descended the stairs, and went out, leaving An Yuying to lock the door.
In no time, he arrived at the main gate of the Village Office, which was locked, so Luo Yang climbed over the wall to enter. He rushed to the door of Fang Lin's dorm and could still hear her agonizing moans.
He gently knocked on the door and said, "Sister Fang, it's Luo Yang. What's wrong?"
At that moment, he heard her get out of bed. A normal person could have walked over and opened the door in a few seconds, but she took nearly half a minute, stopping frequently.
As soon as she opened the door, Fang Lin squatted down.
Luo Yang turned on the light and saw her forehead covered in sweat beads, her face pale with pain, and he quickly asked, "Are you sick?
With a weak voice, Fang Lin said, "Niu Zai, my stomach hurts terribly, please help me."
After asking only a couple of questions, he figured she probably had acute appendicitis. Having no medicine at hand, Luo Yang could only take her to Tang Guihua's house.
Immediately, he picked her up and hurried to Tang Guihua's house at the fastest speed.
Along the way, Fang Lin's heavy sweating soaked Luo Yang's back, and her moans were almost like cries.
Luo Yang comforted her, "Sister Fang, hang in there, you'll be fine after an injection soon."
From the Village Office to Tang Guihua's House was several hundred meters away, and Luo Yang ran as fast as he had ever run in his life, since he still needed time to wake her up. If her house didn't have the necessary medicine, they would have to proceed to the village clinic to administer an injection or an IV to Fang Lin.
Only because he was bursting with energy, carrying Fang Lin was no bother to him; otherwise, he would have left her in the dorm and gone to find Tang Guihua alone. He hadn't made a phone call at that time because he considered that Tang Guihua might have turned off her phone to sleep, which would have wasted more time. To get Fang Lin treated as quickly as possible, he had no choice but to carry her on the way.
Upon reaching the outside of Tang Guihua's house, he saw to his surprise that her room was still lit. Luo Yang called out loudly, "Sister Guihua, someone is sick, please open the door."
Tang Guihua responded from upstairs and quickly came down to open the door. Upon learning that Fang Lin might have acute appendicitis, the three of them immediately went to the village clinic.
On the way, Tang Guihua inquired about Fang Lin's symptoms and confirmed it was acute appendicitis.
At the village clinic, they administered an IV to Fang Lin, and after several minutes, she finally calmed down, clearly showing the medication was taking effect. She lay on a long wooden chair, looking haggard, her hair sweaty, tussled, her shirt soaked with sweat, clinging to her skin.
Luo Yang took some tissues, sat next to Fang Lin, and wiped the sweat from her face and neck. She gave him a slight smile.
Only then did Luo Yang notice that Tang Guihua's eyes were red, obviously from crying.
Tang Guihua, sitting behind the table, asked with a hoarse voice, "Fang Lin, why didn't you call me first?"
She thought Fang Lin had called Luo Yang for help.
Earlier, amidst the chaos, Fang Lin had never considered how Luo Yang knew she was sick. After all, it was past midnight, when most people would be asleep.
Prompted by Tang Guihua's question, Fang Lin began to ponder this issue. She denied, "I didn't call Niu Zai."
Saying this, she looked at Luo Yang with an inquiring gaze.
"If you didn't call him, how did he know you were sick?" Tang Guihua exclaimed in surprise.
Both women then turned their gaze to Luo Yang, waiting for his response.
Regarding the secret of his Soul Out of Body, Luo Yang wasn't going to divulge it. He grinned and laughed, diverting the topic, "There are quite a lot of mosquitoes around here at night."
Fang Lin thought to herself, "Surely he must have been strolling near my dorm late at night. Fortunately, he appeared just in time tonight." With that thought, she gazed at him lovingly.
Fortunately, Tang Guihua seemed preoccupied and did not pursue the matter further.
The clinic suddenly became quiet. Luo Yang glanced at Tang Guihua and noticed her secretly wiping tears, which surprised him greatly. The Tang Guihua he knew was always cheerful and lively; he had never seen her cry before—this was a first.
"Sister Guihua, what's the matter?" Luo Yang asked curiously.
Tang Guihua sniffled and lifted her head, saying, "There's some trouble at home."
From her choked words and her slightly swollen, reddish eyes, it was clear that her family was facing more than just a little trouble. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been brought to tears like this.
Luo Yang's relationship with her had warmed recently, and since they were business partners, he found it difficult to remain indifferent to her troubles.
"Sister Guihua, what exactly happened?" Luo Yang asked with concern.
Possibly because Tang Guihua didn't want to air her family's dirty laundry, she still shook her head, but continued to shed tears, sobbing profusely. It was apparent she couldn't easily solve the trouble she had encountered.
Luo Yang moved a chair next to Tang Guihua, took her hand with his left, wiped her tears with his right, and said sincerely, "Sister Guihua, tell me what trouble you've encountered. I will help you with all my might."
Tang Guihua looked at him, then threw herself onto his broad shoulders, crying intensely.
