The 26th Zhao Yang's Blacklist

  Back to the orchard, Xiao Hei wagged its tail and came up to greet him. Zhao Yang patted its head and went inside to check on Xiao Hong's recovery. Now Xiao Hong had special treatment, moving from the chicken's "dormitory" to the main room.

  Xiao Hong's injury was no longer serious, but the loss of qi and blood was too severe. This time, Zhao Yang took out a "Life-Rejuvenating Pill" and broke off a small piece to feed her.

  At this time, the gate suddenly rang out. The knocking sound stopped for a moment, and then a familiar voice came in: "Zhao Yang, I know you're at home! Come out, I have something to say to you!"

  Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment, and he had already realized that the person who came was Shang Nian Tao. But after thinking about it, there was nothing to say. If Zhu Xiuzhi had any hope of survival, not seeing the faces of the Shang family would be unbearable, but watching her die like this was even more unbearable! However, now, he really had nothing to say to Shang Niantao!

  At this time, the knocking sound outside the gate became louder. Xiao Hei let out two impatient whines. Dogs have good memories, and upon discovering it was the same person as last time, seeing that Zhao Yang didn't intend to respond, it also didn't want to respond. However, its hearing was too sensitive, so this kind of noise sounded especially loud in its ears.

  "Brother Zhao Yang, I was wrong! Forgive me!"

  The humiliation that was barely suppressed in his voice made Zhao Yang frown, he shook his head and really had no desire to talk to Shang Nian Tao!

  Wash your hands, sit cross-legged on the bed, and let your mind sink into the flow of blood and energy. Soon, the external sounds fade away, and everything seems like fleeting clouds that leave no trace in his mental sky.

  It was unclear how much time had passed when Shang Nian Tao disappeared from Zhao Yang's perception, but he remained still, maintaining his state of mental and physical relaxation. If nothing unexpected happened, this state would continue until dawn, and although in this state, he only needed two hours to guarantee sufficient sleep!

  But he suddenly opened his eyes and thought if there was someone disturbing his parents at home now?

  From the orchard to his home, it's about two miles away. Recently, Zhao Yang found that the road seems to have shortened. Of course, it's not that the road has shortened, but he's gotten used to this kind of life, and his mood has also changed, becoming more relaxed. Moreover, Zhao Yang's understanding of his own body is becoming clearer, every movement is kept natural and consumes the least energy, so walking doesn't feel like anything anymore.

  Before entering the village, Zhao Yang heard a quarrel coming from his home. Upon entering the gate, he saw two armchairs with a man and woman sitting on either side: the man was Shang Baijun's brother, Shang Baicheng, the team leader of the village; the woman was Shang Baijun's wife, Kong Hehua, the director of the village women's committee. His parents, Zhao Bingxing, were leaning against the wall beside Shang Baicheng, surrounded by three or four men; Sun Zhenxiang sat on the other side, also surrounded by seven or eight women.

  Shang Baicheng puffed on his cigarette, looking at Zhao Bingxing and saying: "Bingxing, we grew up together, how can you watch the Bai family die? Go tell Zhao Yang to take care of it again!"

  Zhao Bingxing smoked silently with his head down and didn't say a word.

  Kong Hehua held a tea bowl in one hand, drinking the tea that Zhao Yang had personally fried for his parents, and on the other hand, he echoed Sun Zhenxiang, saying: "Auntie, we are all from the same village, if we can help each other, let's help each other! Their family's young son is not a good thing, can't be counted on his mother's head, right?"

  Several other women chimed in:

  "Yes, we are from the same village, how can you be so heartless and watch Xiu Zhi die like this?"

  "It's true, people say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. We've been neighbors for decades, can't just ignore Xiuzhi's life and death?"

  "Zhenxiang, just listen to your elder sister for once. Let your husband Zhao Yang go and have another look at Xiu Zhi's illness. I'll let him bring his whole family to apologize and make amends with you!"

  ……

  Sun Zhenxiang's face turned bright red as she loudly defended herself, "Why don't you care about her life or death? Last time my family's Yangyang stayed up all night to save her... How could I be heartless? If I were heartless, wouldn't it be like the Bai family treating us that way? Could I still let Yangyang go take care of her... The county hospital doctors said there was no saving her and told us to bring her back, what could my family's Yangyang do?"

  But she said one sentence, and there were seven or eight sentences waiting for her, so she had to use a louder voice to defend herself, and the people in the back were shouting hoarsely!

  Zhao Yang walked into the house with a gloomy face, and the room immediately fell silent. Sun Zhenxiang saw him and stood up, worriedly asking: "Yangyang, why have you come back?"

  Zhao Yang didn't say a word, but instead stared at Shang Baicheng and Kong Hehua who were sitting on two armchairs. As soon as the two of them met Zhao Yang's gaze, they suddenly felt uneasy, hastily getting up from their chairs.

  Zhao Yang first helped Sun Zhenxiang and Zhao Bingxing sit down, then looked at the people in the house and said to Sun Zhenxiang: "Mom, what are you arguing with them about? Remember them, if they have something going on at home in the future, I absolutely won't go help!"

  As soon as he heard this, the others in the room looked at each other in dismay. Quickly, someone clever jumped up and smiled apologetically: "Zhao Yang, I, uh, I just came to sit down for a bit, no other meaning!"

  There was a start, and the rest of them also hurriedly followed: "Yes, we didn't mean anything else!" "We are also for the good of your two families, for the stability and unity of our village!"

  Zhao Yang didn't say anything, they said two sentences and then couldn't continue.

  Zhao Yang said coldly: "It's night, we need to rest!"

  The others in the room hastily stood up and walked away with their heads hung low.

  As soon as they left, Sun Zhenxiang indignantly said: "For our own good, for the village's stability and unity, why didn't they say this when they were framing us?"

  Zhao Yang washed the teapot and tea cups clean, re-brewed a pot of tea, then said: "Mom, don't be angry anymore. Next time there's something like this, just give me a call!" He also said: "Today I'll just stay home and play video games!"

  Originally, the western room was Zhao Yang's bedroom, but he rarely stayed at home, so his bed became a place to put things. Also, because the bedrooms in the orchard were better than those at home, it had never been cleaned up.

  Zhao Bingxing went into the house to fetch a straw mat for Zhao Yang while asking, "Zhao Yang, is it true that the Bai Qun family really can't be saved?"

  Sun Zhenxiang went to the inner room to find a rattan chair and bed sheet, and as soon as she heard this, she said: "Benxing, I'm telling you, don't pretend to be a good person! The doctors at the hospital all say that there's no hope for recovery, but Yangyang can cure him? He's not a god! Even gods have times when they're not effective! I've heard that once brain hemorrhage relapses, it's basically hopeless! Don't let Yangyang show off his abilities, what if something happens and it ends up being blamed on Yangyang?"

  Zhao Yang had just finished laying out the goods when Shang Niangu came in, but Zhao Yang and his family were all busy with their own tasks and ignored him.

  Shang Baigun rummaged through his pocket and took out 4,400 yuan, saying in a low voice: "I've come to apologize to your family!"

  "Apologize? What's the point of that now? Do you know how sorry we are for what happened? Don't you think about how Zhao Yang didn't sleep all night just to save your wife? Go ask around, is there any hospital in Huaxia that treats patients for free? Think again, not to mention saving your wife's life, if it were a big hospital, just the medical expenses would be a fortune! And you guys, for 3,000 yuan, you framed Yangyang! Do you still have a conscience?"

  Shang Nian crouched on the ground and said in a low voice: "At that time, Old Zheng found us, I didn't agree either, but we were also doing it for your family's Zhao Yang..."

  Sun Zhenxiang couldn't help but laugh, "For the sake of my family's Zhao Yang, you actually dare to say that!"

  Shang Nianqun lowered his head and said: "Haitao said that there is no proof now, the public hospital does not allow people to see patients casually... He also told Zhao Yang about it, saying that he should open a clinic or something. With Zhao Yang's medical skills, he will definitely make a lot of money! Zheng Laoban also said that as long as Zhao Yang opens a clinic, he will give him wholesale prices for the medicine..."

  Zhao Yang shook his head, this twisted logic was just an excuse for taking money!

  Sun Zhenxiang snorted: "Hmph, so you're saying this for our family's Zhao Yang's sake? Get out!"

  Zhao Yang sat up and said seriously: "If you want to listen to me, hurry back and spend the last moments with your aunt!"

  Shang Nianqun got up with a lost soul and walked out the door. Zhao Yang said, "Take your money with you, we don't want it!"

  Shang Nianqun looked back at Zhao Yang's clear eyes and then at the stack of money on the table, feeling utterly ashamed.

  The next morning, Zhao Yang and his family were having breakfast when they suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. Sun Zhenxiang, who was stirring a cold dish in the kitchen, glanced out the door and exclaimed anxiously and angrily: "Bingxing, Yangyang, they've carried Xiuzhi to our doorstep!"

  Zhao Yang furrowed his brow and said, "Mom, you two don't need to worry about it, I'll go take a look!"

  Zhao Yang opened the big gate and first looked at Zhu Xiuzhi who was lying on the door panel. Only half a month had passed, but she had already become thin and dry, and her "fire of life" was like burned-out coal, leaving only a pile of dead fire!

  Zhao Yang looked at the crowd again and finally fell on Shang Nian Tao's body, calmly asking: "What do you want to do?"

  "Hey! What's going on? We've come to ask you, Zhao the divine doctor, to save my mother!" He panted heavily and continued, "We've carried my mother all the way to your doorstep, you can't just refuse to help, can you?"

  Zhao Yang shook his head and said, "It's too late for rescue!"

  "Shang Nian shouted loudly: 'I don't care, you have to save my mother!' He also begged: 'Please, please save my mother!'"

  Zhao Yang stopped talking and turned around to go back into the house. Shang Bai Zhong hurriedly called out to him, saying: "Zhao Yang, just give my sister-in-law two injections, okay?"

  Administering injections to someone who is already doomed is not mercy, but rather an insult to her!

  "It's all over! You go back now and let Auntie leave in peace!"

  As soon as Zhao Yang finished speaking, Zhu Xiuzhi, who was lying on the door panel, suddenly became short of breath and tears flowed from her eyes!

  "Zhao Yang, look! My sister-in-law is reacting, she can still be saved! She can still be saved!"

  But Zhao Yang knew that if he were Zhu Xiuzhi, what she would most want to do now is go back home!

  "Go back! Auntie can see her son again and live together for another month, it should be no regret!"

  For the loss of life, anyone would feel sad and sympathetic. Zhao Yang paused again and said: "The hospital has already said that there is no rescue, I am also powerless!"

  "We don't listen to the hospital! We listen to you!"

  Shang Baigun also stuttered: "Right, we'll listen to you, we'll listen to you, Zhao Shengyi!"

  "Listen to me," said Zhao Yang, "I've already told you, I'm powerless! You'd better go back!"

  The village chief, Shang Baijun, coughed and said, "Let me say something fair..."

  "What qualifications do you have to speak justice!"

  Shang Baijun was choked and couldn't catch his breath, this time he really started coughing!

  Shang Nian Tao clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Zhao Yang, "If you don't save my mother, I'll let her die in front of your house!"

  Unless there is a deep hatred or an unspoken grievance, one would not carry a corpse or a dead person to someone else's doorstep! Zhao Yang had endured the whole night, his vital energy dropping from 100% to 90%, could he have ever imagined that the final outcome would be like this?

  He recalled a report from last year about a vegetable farmer who, seeing that cabbage was too cheap, placed an ad in the newspaper saying that people could dig up his cabbages for free. What happened? Not only were all the cabbages dug up, but also the radishes and tomatoes were completely cleared out!

  Pure kindness will only bring endless trouble!

  Zhao Yang turned around and said to Shang Baijun: "You are the village head, you handle this matter!"

  Shang Nian Jun flicked open his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, saying with an air of pretentiousness: "This is between your two families, what can I do? Can I force them to do business?"

  Zhao Yang's expression didn't change, and he emphasized: "Then let me tell you, if you don't handle this matter well today, Village Chief, you won't be able to stay in that position!"

  Shang Nian's face suddenly changed color, and he was about to say "What are you?" But soon he thought of the old man who often came to find Zhao Yang, the old man whom the current county party secretary respected. His anger immediately dissipated! However, in front of so many people, being scolded by a young man, his face still couldn't hold on. He turned his head and shouted at Shang Nian and others: "Take him back! Since others won't save him, what are you still doing here?"

  Abandoning someone to die?! Zhao Yang nodded and said: "Wait!" After that, he pointed at Shang Baijun, Shang Baizhong, Shang Baiguan, Shang Niantao, and the few people who appeared last night, saying coldly:

  "If anything happens at your house, I won't help!"
