Chapter 80: Doing Good Deeds

d never allow others to take advantage of her. Sometimes, suffering a loss wasn't a good thing. 。"I agree. Since my craftsmanship isn't great, I'll take on more of the financial burden." 。Zhang Qingfa...Niu Da Ma instructed her grandson, who was playing in the yard, to fetch clothes and bedding. She asked He Jian Guo to fetch water, while she herself unfastened the baby's clothing. Looking at that tiny bundle of life, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Although she doesn't discriminate between sons and daughters, judging from the woman's circumstances, the child might face family issues if it survives. For the child's long-term well-being, adoption might be a necessary consideration, as boys are generally more readily accepted. 。When He Jianguo returned with the hot water, Niuda Ma had already sent the child to Niudai's side and then took Jiang Lin by the hand, preparing to help the woman wash herself. 。

It was only then that Jiang Lin noticed that the white garment wasn't a dress, but a hospital surgical gown. As the clothes came off, both she and Niu Da’s mother couldn't help but gasp.

The woman inside was covered in scars, with two lifelike dragon patterns etched onto her back. The dragons' postures were unique, though different from those Jiang Yan had seen in the underground secret realm. But their fine lines and style seemed to come from the same artist's hand.

"This woman's background is extraordinary, Jian Guo, you quickly give Captain Liao a call." 。"To his astonishment, Niu's mother quickly attended to the woman and instructed He Jianguo in a grave tone. " 。Since Zhang Hongjun and Xiuer got married, Liao Jun also frequently visited, so the villagers couldn't help but have some opinions about the public security agency in town. 。Niubi's sister-in-law noticed the baby's cries were filled with hunger, so she quickly wrapped the child snugly and prepared to take him to the next-door new mother for breastfeeding. 。She listened to the conversation between her grandmother and He Jian Guo, her footsteps pausing slightly. 。Jiang Yan witnessed all this, took out his digital camera, and quickly captured the dragon tattoo on the woman's back. Afterward, he organized his thoughts, his mind filled with confusion. 。Since the earth-shattering secret was discovered, apart from the dragon patterns and mysterious orbs, there were few clues. She suddenly came up with a bold hypothesis 。If the Dragon Diagram is the key, and the "Dragon Balls" are part of the map, doesn't that suggest more possibilities This thought made her regret even more that she hadn't recorded the secrets of the underground labyrinth with the two dragons earlier>>> 。She worried that the later arrivals might have already destroyed them, but she guessed that the treasure was perhaps not unique. Now that the dragon charts appeared in pairs, it seemed to confirm her guess. 。Although Jiang Yan was nervous, she felt a little relieved. As long as she didn't reveal too much, there was at least a glimmer of hope left. 。"You two, why are you always getting into trouble" 。Uncle Niu heard his grandson's call and saw He JianGuo and Jiang Yan. There was confusion in his eyebrows. 。Though these two children are well-behaved, they seem to always get into trouble. 。"Mister, we're doing a good deed here, it was Ranran who saved that child" 。He Jian Guo smiled wryly. The village head didn't know the full story, but his sharp eyes had hit the core of the problem. The two of them did often stir up trouble, all because they were hiding a secret. 。Jiang Yan gently rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit nervous. Focusing too much on the details might expose him. 。She reminded herself that while treasure was tempting, it shouldn't put those around her in danger. Like Conan in the anime, she decided to proceed with caution. 。Before He Jianguo could even make the phone call, Liao Jun and Zhang Hongjun unexpectedly arrived. On vacation fishing, they brought with them their longing for family and a passionate pursuit, arriving together in Qingshangou. As soon as they entered the village, they were drawn to the child being held by Niuda's wife, and subsequently led to Niudash's home. 。"Eh, this woman..." Liao Jun and Zhang Hongjun stepped into the Niu family. While Liao Jun still nodded in agreement with He Jian Guo's words, Zhang Hongjun couldn't contain himself and rushed forward to take a look. 。When he saw the woman lying unconscious on the kang, his brows furrowed. After a moment of contemplation, he slapped his thigh suddenly, as if he had grasped some crucial clue. 。I recognize this woman! During that investigation into counterfeit goods, wasn't there a pair of Japanese twins involved We followed the lead and found some of their descendants in town, and this woman is one of them. 。Her Japanese father, Sato... I can't remember his full name for the moment. Back then, there were so many people involved, and to protect everyone's safety, many details were chosen to be forgotten. The investigation process was incredibly difficult. 。Zhang Hongjun weighed his words, the bitterness of that historical period in his memory making him reluctant to delve deeper. 。"Sato Ichiro" 。Jiang Yan's heartbeat accelerated instantly, as if the gears of fate had just turned. She had always suspected the reason for Satoichiro's stay—either he couldn't let go of his feelings or perhaps he had discovered a crucial clue! "Does her family have other relatives This child…" Jiang Yan quickly adjusted her emotions, pointing to the baby in Niuda's hands with her finger, and continued to inquire. 。"Disappeared, the girl's mother took her own life after being criticized for the first time." 。That Japanese old man was originally mentally unstable. Perhaps due to an accident, he went into the mountains alone and unfortunately met with disaster. It is said that he also has a son, but he seems to have had a falling out with his family. 。This girl's life has been truly unfortunate. 。Zhang Hongjun's words were laden with weight, Jiang Yan could feel it. As a woman herself, she felt a deep sense of sympathy for another woman going through such hardship. 。Jiang Yan returned to the educated youth's hut with a hint of fatigue. He was in low spirits and unwilling to talk much. After a simple wash, he fell into a deep sleep. 。As night fell, she suddenly developed a high fever and cried out for her parents in her sleep. He Jian Guo, who was keeping vigil beside her, felt his heart break. He wished he could immediately hold her in his arms to comfort her, but in this conservative era, even the slightest touch would be considered inappropriate. All he could do was suppress his urge and silently guard over her. 。Lingzhi's father came to visit and diagnosed Jiangyan with積鬱 (ji jù), suggesting that releasing it might help. He advised her to take some ibuprofen and rub alcohol on key parts of her body. 。Jiang Yan's medicine chest was fully equipped, even more complete than Ling Zhi's father's, which made the latter couldn't help but show an envious expression. 。After dinner, He Jianguo dismissed the weary Lu Hong and Zhang Qingfang, staying alone with Jiang Yan who was lost in thought. Filled with guilt, he realized that the accident earlier had indeed frightened her. 。It's not your fault, it's me letting go. 。In the hazy space between sleep and wakefulness, Jiang Yan heard his self-reproach, and warmth filled her heart. She understood that her entanglement stemmed from the ordeal she had faced during this Shandong trip and the image of that tragic woman. 。"From now on, don't ever make me afraid. Face anything together, and leave it to me to handle." 。He Jian Guo's face flushed slightly, he carefully wrapped her up and held her in his arms, gently rocking her back and forth, hoping for her promise. 。Jiang Yan then acted like a spoiled little girl, pouting her lips and staring at him with glistening eyes. 。"I'm hungry" 。Her words carried a hint of playfulness. He JianGuo, upon hearing this, laughed as if holding a treasure, scooped her up in his arms, carefully scrutinized her eyes, and then leaned down to gently kiss her dry and slightly pale lips. 。"He JianGuo" 。Jiang Yan was awakened by the sudden kiss, blushing and angrily struggling. Although her body was restrained, there was more coquettishness than anger in her voice. 。

He Jian Guo did not back down, but was pleased with her recovery. However, he was still worried that she was really angry and quickly put down the food in his hands.

He specially cooked a bowl of light vegetable congee, paired with slightly salty salted duck eggs. As he peeled the eggs, he recounted the trivial matters that had happened since Jiang Yan's departure. 。What was the first thing that woman said when she woke up 。Jiang Yan savored the delicious porridge, listening to He Jianguo's words. She momentarily put down her spoon, her eyes showing curiosity and thoughtfulness. 。With Liao Jun's swift action, the scene fell silent. However, after uttering those words, the woman lapsed into silence, leaving only muffled sobs. 。When she caught sight of the child beside her, her emotions instantly spiraled out of control. She seemed to lose her sanity and rushed towards the child. Luckily, He Jianguo reacted swiftly and stopped this heart-stopping scene in time. 。 that pair of despicable villains, pay the price. 。She firmly believed that both surprise attacks today stemmed from Lan Junsheng's betrayal. He must be in a difficult situation, either wanting to dr...
