Luo Yang, though aware of how to treat a high fever, had no medicine at hand, so he could do little without resources.
He had no choice but to take the patient to the nearest clinic for IV therapy.
He was always a man of action.
He knew that if he didn't get the patient to the clinic for fluids soon, it could seriously harm them.
"We can't wait any longer, or there'll be serious problems. I'll carry her. Sister Nan, can you lead the way? Is there a clinic nearby?"
As Luo Yang spoke, he squatted down and reached his hands back.
Sister Nan reluctantly helped her sister onto Luo Yang's back, and Luo Yang wrapped his arms around her legs.
At this moment, Sister Nan's sister stubbornly said, "I'll get better without seeing a doctor."
Seeing her condition and still refusing to see a doctor, Luo Yang couldn't stand idly by.
"Stop fussing, hold on to my neck," Luo Yang instructed.
As he spoke, he was already carrying Sister Nan's sister out the door.
Sister Nan followed behind them.
They soon arrived at a small clinic, and the doctor immediately administered an IV to Sister Nan's sister.
The clinic's lighting was brighter than in the Shi family's home.
Sister Nan's sister was about 1.65 meters tall, a beauty in the making, but too thin and seemingly undernourished.
With a melon-seed face, normally rosy white, hers was pallid, her nose was straight, and her eyes were large; she always looked timid.
The clinic's doctor suddenly remembered something from the past and said, "Your father picked up some stomach medicine here a few days ago and hasn't paid yet; he must have forgotten."
Sister Nan had no money on her and said awkwardly, "I'll go back and get it for you in a moment."
Earlier, at the Shi family's home, Luo Yang had not seen Sister Nan's father.
Their medical bills together amounted to just over a hundred yuan, and Luo Yang helped Sister Nan pay.
Qiao Zai Shui called to ask how much longer Luo Yang would be, and Luo Yang said he was just leaving.
Hearing Luo Yang was leaving, Sister Nan walked him outside the clinic.
"What does your father do?"
When the two walked together without speaking, the atmosphere was quite heavy.
"He's an alcoholic, a gambler," Sister Nan said coldly.
Upon this reply, Luo Yang felt embarrassed.
"Do you know how to treat mental illnesses?" Sister Nan suddenly asked.
"Mental illnesses aren't incurable, but they're not easy to cure," Luo Yang replied.
As for An Yuying's father's concussion aftermath, Luo Yang still hadn't found the most suitable treatment method.
If Sister Nan hadn't come out, Luo Yang wouldn't have had the chance to discuss her situation with her.
"Sister Nan, are you interested in singing at a bar in a township? The pay might not be as high," Luo Yang got straight to the point.
"Where?" Sister Nan asked, throwing away her cigarette butt and lighting another.
"Hongyun Town. My god-sister owns a bar there. Interested?" Luo Yang asked with a smile.
In the night, the light of Sister Nan's cigarette was especially bright.
"I could try," Sister Nan said, exhaling smoke.
"Then I'll talk to my god-sister first, and I'll call you later," he said.
After saying goodbye to Sister Nan, Luo Yang headed back the way he came.
After consulting Zhu Li, she agreed to let Sister Nan sing at her bar, with a guaranteed minimum monthly salary of three thousand yuan.
Luo Yang immediately called Sister Nan and told her; Sister Nan agreed to start working at Zhu Li's bar from tomorrow night.
Over the phone, Luo Yang dared to discuss Big Brother B with Sister Nan.
"Sister Nan, then you won't go sing at Big Brother B's bar anymore," Luo Yang said.
"I won't go there anymore," Sister Nan replied.
"Will Big Brother B cause you trouble?" Luo Yang asked.
Actually, he mainly meant whether Big Brother B's wife might cause trouble for Sister Nan.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
After a while, Sister Nan said, "She might."
"Then do you need my help?" Luo Yang asked.
At this moment, Sister Nan finally accepted gratefully, "Of course. Would you really help me?"
Big Brother B was also a notable figure in the county, not someone just anyone could deal with.
Luo Yang ran a martial arts gym, and just because of that, Shi Nan thought he was no ordinary person.
"If he causes you trouble, call me. Let me talk to him," Luo Yang said.
"Then I'll follow you from now on," Shi Nan said with a smile.
"I wouldn't dare, Sister Nan. Just give me a shout if you have any problems," Luo Yang replied cheerfully.
After hanging up, Luo Yang stepped outside to the highway and saw Qiao Zai Shui had already stopped his car and was waiting there.
As Luo Yang got into the car, Qiao Zai Shui teased, "Chasing her all the way to her house, are you going to meet her parents?"
Luo Yang smiled, "Little Sister Qiao, are you jealous?"
While speaking, he glanced through Qiao Zai Shui's delicate body, deeply attracted by the firmness of her upper body.
Qiao Zai Shui stretched out her hand to push Luo Yang's head away, smiling, "You stare at others like that, aren't you ashamed?"
With no one else around, Luo Yang's gaze toward Qiao Zai Shui's upper body, and his appreciative look were indeed a bit more noticeable.
No one knew he had the X-Ray Ability, so the person being looked at didn't feel too embarrassed.
"Little Sister Qiao, you..."
In his excitement, Luo Yang almost carelessly mentioned that there was a strand of hair on the left upper side of Qiao Zai Shui.
Suddenly remembering he had the X-Ray Ability and could see special scenes others couldn't, he quickly stopped himself.
"My sister called; she said she will stay at your place tonight," Qiao Zai Shui said as she brushed her hair.
"Let's go, buy a bed now, meet up with Big Sister Qiao later, and then head back together," Luo Yang said.
So, Qiao Zai Shui drove Luo Yang to the furniture city in the county, right next to the bus station.
The two walked into the furniture store, and the store owner warmly introduced the beds.
Then the owner changed her tone, "Are you buying this for a wedding?"
Qiao Zai Shui's face turned red instantly, and she hastily said, "No."
Seeing Luo Yang smirk, Qiao Zai Shui shot him a mild glare.
"You two are a perfect match, a handsome guy and a beautiful girl, a match made in heaven," the store owner praised.
"Owner, based on what you just said, I've decided to buy all the beds in your store," Luo Yang declared generously.
"Handsome, how many do you want?" the owner smiled.
"Just one is fine," Luo Yang smiled.
Qiao Zai Shui glanced at Luo Yang, both amused and annoyed.
Then, she took a liking to a double bed with a carved headboard.
As she sat on the edge of the bed, Luo Yang sat down too.
He then climbed onto the bed and sat there, pressing down hard on the mattress with both hands.
"Come up and try it out, see if it fits," Luo Yang said.
"The mattress is of good quality; it won't cause back pain. The bed is also sturdy," the store owner explained.
She seemed to imply, "Even if you two engage in vigorous activities on the bed, it won't break."
Some mattresses are too soft, and sleeping on them for a night might lead to discomfort the next day.
Qiao Zai Shui still sat on the edge of the bed, pressing down on the mattress with her hand.
"Little Sister Qiao, come up quickly, let's sleep a bit and we'll know if it's good," Luo Yang said.
Shuang Qiao would share the same bed.
At the moment, Luo Yang was joining Qiao Zai Shui in testing the bed, substituting for Qiao Yousi.
Qiao Zai Shui blushingly said, "If you want to sleep, you sleep."
At that moment, Luo Yang crawled over and grabbed Qiao Zai Shui's arm.
"Little Sister Qiao, come up and sleep for a bit," Luo Yang pulled her onto the bed.
"Let go!" Qiao Zai Shui scolded playfully.
But she didn't have the strength that Luo Yang did, and her body was dragged onto the bed.
Seeing the two frolicking, the store owner laughed, "You guys decide first; there's another customer over there, I'll go check."
Once the store owner walked away, Qiao Zai Shui waved her little pink fists at Luo Yang. Her pretty face blushing and dancing lightly, she looked exceedingly charming.
"Little Sister Qiao, lie down and try it out," Luo Yang grabbed Qiao Zai Shui's hands.
"If you keep pulling and tugging, I'm going to get mad," Qiao Zai Shui said, her face red.
"Little Sister Qiao, buying a bed without trying it, how can that be? You look good even when you're angry," Luo Yang complimented.
Qiao Zai Shui chuckled.
