They had been busy for a whole day. An unexpected visitor came to their village in the afternoon.
"Sirou?"
"Xiaoxue."
The visitor was Guo Sirou. She looked rather pale and lethargic. Her eyes looked murky and were completely devoid of the beauty and competence normally seen in them.
"Happy New Year, sorry to bother you guys."
"Happy New Year, please, come inside."
"No, not the house. Let's head to the clinic." Wang Yao was able to tell just from one look that Guo Sirou was sick. She had been bugged.
"Yeah, sure."
The three of them went to the clinic. She was the first patient in the clinic since the Lunar New Year began.
Wang Yao got her a bowl of medicinal soup, which she gulped down.
"How did you get bugged?" Wang Yao asked, feeling something was off.
"I made a trip to He County before the Lunar New Year festivities, the place where Zhenghe works, and somehow I caught this," Guo Sirou replied.
