"Niánnián?" Fēng Chéngyuǎn frowned tightly. He noticed that the ankle of Yú Nián, which had been entangled by the hair of the drought demon just now, was constantly oozing blood.
Míng Míng and Hé Zhipíng were both startled.
Hé Zhipíng looked at Yú Nián's pale face and felt a surge of sorrow. Wiping his tears, he said, "Yú Nián, wake up quickly. What will we do without you..."
Yú Nián coughed and was amused by his words.
"Don't cry. I'm not dead yet. I'm just too tired."
After all, exorcising ghosts and subduing demons were not easy tasks. They extremely consumed the supernatural powers and spiritual energy of practitioners.
Although Yú Nián said that she would be fine after a short rest, she couldn't persuade the persistent Fēng Chéngyuǎn. So they took a car to the nearest hospital to Wúxiāng Village.
After the doctor finished the examination, he said that it was just a flesh wound and the bones were not injured.
After disinfecting the wound and prescribing some painkillers and anti - inflammatory drugs, the doctor told Yú Nián to go back and rest.
Yú Nián sat on the chair and quietly waited for Fēng Chéngyuǎn to get the medicine.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the emergency department in the distance. A young couple rushed out of the crowd, holding a child about four or five years old in their arms. They were hurrying towards the nurse in a flurry.
The child's little face was blue and purple, and his eyebrows were tightly knitted. It seemed as if something was choking his throat, and he was gasping for breath.
When they passed by Yú Nián, she saw the thick ghostly aura emanating from the child.
Yú Nián was stunned for a moment, then got up and followed the couple.
The couple ran in front of the on - duty nurse and asked loudly, "Where is the doctor? Please save my son quickly!"
The nurse checked the child's condition and was also startled. She quickly asked, "Did the child have any symptoms before the onset of the illness? Or did he accidentally swallow something?"
The child's mother, whose name was Sū Yuè, looked a bit helpless. "We don't know what happened... The child is already four years old. He usually stays in the room by himself without any problems. Today, I was cooking in the kitchen when I heard him suddenly scream. When we rushed over, the child started talking nonsense, then twitched and fainted."
The more Sū Yuè talked, the sadder she became. She covered her face and cried.
The nurse was also a bit embarrassed. "The symptoms seem a bit like suffocation. Let's go for a CT scan first."
The couple nodded and were about to take the child to register, but were stopped by Yú Nián on the way.
The couple's expressions darkened.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?"
Yú Nián's gaze fell on the child's face and she said calmly, "He's not sick."
The child's father, Kāng Níng, was momentarily stunned. He sized Yú Nián up and down and guessed that she was just an innocent college student. He became even more angry. "Are you a doctor? Do you know that you're endangering someone's life by standing here? Get out of the way quickly!"
He was convinced that Yú Nián was here to cause trouble. Anxiety and anger welled up in his heart, and he raised his hand to swing at Yú Nián's cheek.
But before he could touch Yú Nián, a strong hand intercepted him.
Kāng Níng stared blankly at Fēng Chéngyuǎn who suddenly appeared. He was intimidated by Fēng Chéngyuǎn's aura and couldn't say a word. But since he thought he was in the right, he shouted angrily, "There's no reason to stop a patient from seeing a doctor in the hospital! Does the hospital care about this? They're in cahoots. Quickly arrest them!"
The nurse finally reacted and picked up the phone to call the security guards.
The commotion was quite big and attracted a lot of onlookers.
Some people even took out their phones to record videos and whispered, "What's wrong with these young people nowadays? They're so vicious. They'll surely get their comeuppance!"
Then Yú Nián suddenly stepped forward. She bit her finger and gently tapped on the child's glabella.
The next moment, it seemed as if a wisp of black smoke drifted out from the center of the child's eyebrows.
The child suddenly coughed twice. His blue - purple face gradually turned rosy, and soon he opened his eyes and returned to normal.
Not only were the couple extremely stunned, but the onlookers were also dumbfounded.
"What... What on earth is going on?"
Yú Nián withdrew her hand and said calmly, "This child must have accidentally encountered something evil. Driving it out of his body will solve the problem."
The couple obviously didn't understand the metaphysical events. They still looked skeptical.
Yú Nián wasn't angry. In this era of the decline of the Dharma, there were many swindlers. If she were stopped inexplicably in the hospital, she would also be angry.
Yú Nián left a phone number and a talisman for the couple.
She glanced at Sū Yuè and noticed that the yin energy on her was the heaviest among the three. She instructed, "After you go back, wear this talisman on your body. If there are any other strange things happening at home, you can contact me at any time."
Sū Yuè took the talisman blankly, looking a bit confused.
Yú Nián didn't say anything more. Supported by Fēng Chéngyuǎn, she left the department.
When they reached the door, Fēng Chéngyuǎn suddenly knelt down in front of Yú Nián and said to her, "Get on my back."
Yú Nián was startled. Her eyebrows twitched. "What are you doing?"
"Cars aren't allowed to park at the hospital entrance. The car is parked far away. You have a hurt leg. I'll carry you there."
Yú Nián looked at the constant stream of passers - by around and coughed softly. "No need. I can walk there by myself."
Fēng Chéngyuǎn frowned. "You're injured like this. How can you walk by yourself?"
Yú Nián's stubbornness flared up. She pursed her lips and stared silently at Fēng Chéngyuǎn.
Perhaps the combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was too eye - catching. Passers - by couldn't help but glance at them and then show an expression of "we all understand as people who've been there".
When an elderly couple passed by them, the old man looked at Fēng Chéngyuǎn and praised, "Young man, you're great. You should love your wife like this! When I was young, I was also so handsome and dashing!"
The old woman beside him deliberately pouted in disgust.
"Come on. If you were as good - looking as his little toe when you were young, I'd be satisfied."
The old man: ...
Fēng Chéngyuǎn coughed softly. His ears were a bit red. "Aren't you going to get on?"
Yú Nián shook her head.
Fēng Chéngyuǎn seemed to sigh very softly.
The next moment, Yú Nián felt a dizzying spin. She was picked up horizontally by Fēng Chéngyuǎn.
Fēng Chéngyuǎn's palms were thin, strong and powerful. Since Yú Nián was rather thin, she seemed to be curled up in Fēng Chéngyuǎn's arms at the moment, clinging tightly to his chest and clearly hearing his strong heartbeat.
Yú Nián pursed her lips and subconsciously looked up at Fēng Chéngyuǎn.
From her perspective, she could see Fēng Chéngyuǎn's thin chin and high - bridged nose.
As a CEO who didn't rely on his looks, Fēng Chéngyuǎn was really too good - looking.
She noticed that when Fēng Chéngyuǎn concentrated, he would slightly purse his lips, inadvertently revealing the faint dimple on his cheek.
On a whim, Yú Nián reached out her finger and poked Fēng Chéngyuǎn's dimple.
Fēng Chéngyuǎn's steps suddenly stopped. He lowered his gaze. At the moment when their eyes met, Yú Nián felt a bit uncomfortable.
The atmosphere became a bit delicate for a moment. They were very close to each other. The faint mint scent filled her nostrils. Fēng Chéngyuǎn's steps were very steady, giving a strong sense of security.
Yú Nián actually felt a bit sleepy. She yawned and closed her eyes peacefully.
Fēng Chéngyuǎn gently placed Yú Nián on the car seat and then took out a blanket to wrap her up tightly.
Looking at the sleeping Yú Nián, Fēng Chéngyuǎn's voice was very soft but filled with infinite tenderness.
"Niánnián, have a good dream."
Yú Nián didn't open her eyes, but the corner of her mouth slowly curled up.
