My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 238: Chapter 231: People are Gone

She placed her book on the table, propping her face with one hand while flipping the pages with the other.

Soon the college student arrived to give them a class and assign them some homework before leaving. Naturally, the rest of the time was their own.

That day, Tang Yuxin took a bus into the city to clean the house, school semester was starting soon. Even though she planned to stay with the Xu Family, she thought she should clean the place here as it was close to the school and could be used as a resting place if needed.

By the time she finished cleaning, it was nearly the afternoon; she was so tired that she could barely stand upright.

She was feeling a bit weak still, touching her arm, she realized that despite the time she had spent here, she hadn’t developed any muscle yet.

After packing up, she shut the door to head home for dinner, they still had to review other courses in the evening.

On the outskirts of Qing’an City flows a small river, the Blue River, which was still unpolluted at this time. In the earliest days, this river served as the mother river of Qing’an City. The large river that flows through Li Tang Village, where they lived, was actually a tributary of the Blue River. The river water was still crystal clear and contained many fish now. However, once the city’s industrial parks and various factories were constructed, unregulated discharge polluted the river, which no longer housed fish, sand, or stones; all that was left were dark substances and a foul smell.

This river was still clean now. If only she had a camera, she could capture its beauty, which only remained in the photos in the future.

The damage human beings have caused to nature is truly devastating.

Tang Yuxin was standing by the Blue River, where the moist wind occasionally blew her skirt and tousled her hair. In this chaos, she still felt a clearness, a cleanliness unpolluted by anything.

She walked ahead and crouched down, reaching her hand into the Blue River. Upon touching the water, she felt a slight chill. The water was so clear that it created her reflection.

All of the sudden, there was a splash. It seemed as if something had fallen into the river. She turned around, but all she saw were the riverbanks.

They were quite high because the Blue River sometimes rose dramatically. In recent years, however, such occurrences had become rare, mainly because a power station had been built upstream, which resulted in less and dirtier water in the Blue River.

Tang Yuxin stood up and noticed small ripples continuously appearing in the water not far away.

She then detected a faint scent of blood.

She didn’t know if it was due to the Cold Fragrance Pills, but she had become incredibly sensitive to various smells. There was definitely a smell of blood here; she couldn’t have mistaken it.

But where did the blood come from?

She narrowed her eyes, presumably thinking about something, took off her shoes, and jumped in.

Luckily, the Blue River water was still very clear. Luckily, she knew how to swim. Luckily, these two factors worked in her favor at the moment. Otherwise, if she were faced with the contaminated, ink-like water of the Blue River in the future, she wouldn’t dare jump, not wanting to swallow such dirty water.

She swam to the spot where the splashes occurred and, as expected, she had not been wrong. There was a person in the water, bubbles surging from his nose.

He was alive.

She swam over without thinking, immediately pulling the person up.

Chen Zhong once told her that the Chen Family helped those they encountered by chance. If they came across someone, they had a duty to help the person; this was considered fate.

Learning the Chen Family’s medical skills, she carried this responsibility. So, she felt like she really had to save that man today, although, she regretted it later. Why did she rescue him?

But maybe it was because of that.

It was fate, and it was karma.

She dragged the man to the bank, crouched down, and lightly slapped the man’s face. He was young, in his twenties. His face was quite pale, and his breathing was very weak. Blood was seeping from his arm. While his features were soft, he was indeed very handsome.

“Hey…” Tang Yuxin lightly slapped the man’s face. The man’s breathing was slow. Because his face was so pale, Tang Yuxin spotted a red mole under his right eye.

This mole was in an odd place at the corner of the eye.

A tear mole.

This man now was unconscious. She held his wrist again. He had a pulse, so it wasn’t serious. As he had not stayed underwater for long, she placed her hand on his belly and forcefully expelled the water he had swallowed.

Then, she heard coughing. The man was already coughing out the water he had drunk.

He opened his eyes, only seeing a blurry figure, and then stretched out his hand…

Next, a lukewarm hand held his tightly. In the faint distance, he seemed to hear a girl’s voice.

“Rest assured, you’ll be okay.”

Finally, unable to resist the physical exhaustion, he fell into a deep sleep.

Tang Yuxin held his wrist again. His pulse was steady. The wound was not lethal, and he had not swallowed much water. She felt her wet clothes.

She had no strength to carry this man to the hospital.

She stood up, ready to go out and find someone to help.

But she was puzzled about the unusual quietness around the Blue River today. She originally thought about about walking a bit further to find some people to help.

In the end, she returned to where she had left the man. However, when she arrived at the riverbank, the man was nowhere to be seen…

Did he leave, or was he taken away?

Tang Yuxin frowned. She searched for the man for a long time, but failed to find him. Eventually, she returned to the Xu Family house, her clothes soaking wet.

“Yuxin, what happened to you?” The moment Xu’s mother saw Tang Yuxin, she was startled. How did she end up so wet?

“There was a puppy in the river. I went to save it, and this is what happened,” Tang Yuxin laughed. Yes, it was a puppy. From the moment she scooped the man out of the water to his strange disappearance, she considered him a puppy. She didn’t know why she considered him so…
