The girl put her small hand in her pocket and stroked the two dollars inside with a pleased smile on her face. The tiredness from working hard all day vanished like smoke in thin air.

She was finally able to make money and help the family.

In this family, there were both old and young. Grandmother was old and ill; her cousin was young and had to go to school every day; her uncle left early and came home late, to get furniture.

Only his aunt was left. She was the main labor force.

Auntie wanted to cook three meals a day, raise chickens to feed the ducks, and clean up the house and yard.

She was a few years older than her cousin and could be considered a big girl. When the farmers were busy, they would follow the whole family to work in the fields.

Recently, the work in the fields had been finished. At home, besides cooking and washing his aunt's clothes, Qingzhu would go out and do some odd jobs whenever she had time.

In the past few days, he had finally reached the bottom of the bowl at home. Before she came out, she heard her aunt complain again about her uncle's failure to live well.

After returning home, she gave her aunt the money she had earned today, so that she could buy some flour first. In this way, the couple wouldn't quarrel, right?

Last week, my grandmother's rheumatism broke down. At night, his whole body would hurt and he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.

She had to work harder, more laundry, more bran picking. When he had enough money, he would take his grandma to the big hospital in the city to see a doctor and buy some tonics.

The more the bamboo thought about it, the more it felt like there was going to be an end to the future. It couldn't help but quicken its pace.

As she neared the cornfield, she saw a man lying in a puddle by the side of the road.

The man was in his sixties, with unkempt gray hair and beard. The clothes on his body were patched up in all sorts of colors, and it was hard to tell the color of his clothes. The broken sandals on his feet gave off air in all directions, and were full of holes.

He curled up his body, his hands clutching his chest. His facial features were entangled, and his expression was extremely painful.

On the ground not far away was a pile of things — two chipped bowls, a tattered straw hat, a dry branch as thick as a wrist, and an old black leather bag.

From the looks of it, he was a beggar passing by. It was unclear if he had been robbed, or if there was some sudden illness.

The green bamboo didn't have time to think about it as it hurriedly ran over. He bent his knees and half squatted beside the old man.

His lips were pale and his forehead was covered in sweat.

"Old grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Does it hurt somewhere? " The green bamboo asked tentatively.

There were no traces of blood on this person's body, so it was possible for him to have sustained external injuries.

The old beggar tried his best to lift his heavy eyelids as he stuttered, "My chest feels uncomfortable, my old ailment is acting up again …"

Green Bamboo pursed her pink lips. From the looks of it, she must have had a heart attack. Grandma Yu, who was next door to him, usually had a bad heart, which was similar to this symptom.

She knew better than to move the patient around in this situation.

"Do you have any medicine with you?" the girl asked, unbuttoning the old man's collar to make his breathing easier.

A few years ago, when the clinic was still active, every time Grandma had a heart attack, she would do the same thing. She still remembered the procedure.

"Yes." The old man closed his eyes and took two heavy breaths before he managed to utter a few words. "It's … it's in the bag."

Green Bamboo reached out and picked up the leather bag on the floor. He then took out a small porcelain bottle that was shaped like a gourd. She deftly poured out ten pills and clasped them in her palm.

"I found it. Eat it."

She urged a few times, but there was no response.

It turned out that the old beggar's mind was no longer clear. He groaned a few times, but kept his lips tightly shut, refusing to cooperate at all.

At that moment, a black Land Rover came from afar, followed by two motorcycles. Not too far away, but around five meters away. The direction they were heading towards was Stone Village that wasn't far away.

When they arrived near the green bamboo, the Land Rover suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? "Uncle Zhong." A clear and melodious voice of a youth sounded out within the carriage.

"Young master, the car is dead. Please wait a moment, I'll check. " The middle-aged driver replied with a respectful tone.

After listening to the driver's report, the youth in the back row of leather seats hummed softly, "Yes."

He leaned back and adjusted his posture. The two slender legs were elegantly folded together.

On the left jade earlobe, there was a diamond earring the size of a rice grain embedded. It was dazzling.

When the Land Rover stopped, the motorcycle behind it turned off. Two bodyguards wearing sunglasses stood with one leg on the ground, waiting.

Not only did the two have similar appearances, even their movements were surprisingly identical.

The teenager in the car tilted his head and casually looked out of the window. Green Bamboo, who was trying his best to save him, coincidentally caught his eye.

As if sensing something, Green Bamboo lifted his head and glanced at the Land Rover. It was probably just a passing car, so he did not pay too much attention to it. He lowered his head and continued to think of a way to save her.

At first, she pinched both sides of the old beggar's jaw and tried to force the medicine inside. However, he soon discovered that the other party was clenching his teeth tightly, making it impossible for him to do so.

This illness could not be delayed, if it was dragged on any longer, the old man would be in danger. The green bamboo blinked its long and narrow eyes as it swiftly searched for a solution in its mind.

After a few seconds, she bent down and gently lifted the old beggar by the nape of his neck. The muddy water on her clothes stained the front of her shirt.

The green bamboo didn't have time to pay attention to those. It softly encouraged in his ear:

"Old grandpa, do you have anyone you really want to see or have wanted to do but haven't found the time to do? We can only do it if we survive, right? "

"Open your eyes and take a look at the surrounding mountains and rivers. It's so beautiful!" There are many beautiful places like this in the world! When you get better, you can go to a more distant place and see a more beautiful scenery. "

"I know, you're going to make it hard for the thief now. After taking the medicine, his chest would no longer hurt. "Come, open your mouth and say 'ah' loudly!"

She had said so much in a row just to arouse the old man's desire to live.

Finally, his hard work paid off. The old man gasped for breath. His two rows of tightly closed yellow teeth had finally cracked open.

The girl's eyes lit up as she hurriedly put all the medicine into his mouth. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

In her experience, patients with heart disease were basically fine as long as they woke up.

She warned him repeatedly before putting the medicine under her tongue and swallowing it. At the same time, she stroked his chest and massaged the acupoints of the old man.

A few minutes later, the car made a low engine noise.

"Young master, the problem has been resolved."

"Un, let's go!"

The youth responded and slowly retracted his gaze.

The Land Rover drove off, and the motorcycle followed. Several rows of obvious tire marks were left on the muddy dirt road.

At this moment, someone was walking from the direction of Stone Village.

The one walking in front was a little girl.

She was dressed in a red one-piece, with a high ponytail at the back of her head and a little donkey in her hand.

On the donkey's back, there was also a little girl who was slightly younger. Her face was flushed and her hair was short to her ears.

They were a pair of little sisters. Their names were Big Red and Er Hong. Their ages were similar to Green Bamboo, and they were also Stone Village's villagers.

On this trip, he planned to visit his relatives in the neighboring village.

When the Land Rover whizzed past them, Erhong instantly widened his eyes and could not help but exclaim:

"Sis, quickly take a look. What kind of car is that?" Why haven't I seen it before? So cool, so mighty! "

"Phew!" Red pulls on the reins to stop the donkey. He craned his neck to take a look, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
