บท 8: Chapter 8 Living Is Good_1
Qiao Duo'er straightened her attitude and undid the splint on his leg. His leg was bruised and swollen, looking somewhat fierce.
But to Qiao Duo'er, this was child's play; she calmly touched the fracture site.
Fortunately, Tan Zhenghong's condition was not much different from what she had expected.
It was simply a dislocated fracture, which in modern times would only require two months of bed rest to heal.
But Tan Zhenghong was in ancient times, and that doctor actually hadn't set the bone back in place. It would be a miracle if he didn't end up with a disability afterwards.
Could she criticize that quack?
No, the Joint-Healing Method wasn't a secret art; any decent doctor would surely know it.
Probably the doctor felt quite wronged himself; he was just a barefoot doctor and could only treat colds or headaches.
There were competent doctors available, so the only explanation was that the Tan Family refused to spend the money and gave up on Tan Zhenghong, even skimping on his food.
This guy was indeed a pitiful worm!
Qiao Duo'er wiped some strong liquor on the fracture on Tan Zhenghong's leg. In the heat of summer, it was very easy to get an infection if you didn't pay attention to hygiene.
"Silly... are you Qiao Duo'er?"
Tan Zhenghong couldn't help but ask as he could be sure that Qiao Duo'er today and the one from yesterday were completely different people.
Yesterday, Qiao Duo'er was just smiling at him foolishly, but today, her presence was powerful, her gaze sharp.
Qiao Duo'er said indifferently, "Your wife jumped into the river and drowned at noon. I've come back by borrowing her body."
She spoke as if recounting someone else's tale, her tone light and breezy.
But Tan Zhenghong felt overwhelmed, for he didn't have the same emotional fortitude as Qiao Duo'er.
Just thinking about the term "borrowing a body to return" sent chills down his spine.
Qiao Duo'er continued, "I was living just fine when suddenly I ended up here. If you don't believe it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Whether he believed it or not didn't matter to her. She just wanted to share her secret with someone. Tan Zhenghong was the first person she saw in this world, and he held a different meaning in her heart.
Tan Zhenghong was silent for quite a while before suddenly asking, "You suddenly came here; don't your family worry about you?"
"I don't have any family; I am alone."
Qiao Duo'er smiled faintly, but her smile made Tan Zhenghong feel a pang of heartache.
"I could be your family from now on," he almost blurted out, but he knew he wasn't in any position to say such things right now.
No, he was never in a position to discuss feelings.
Silly Sister had jumped into the river just three days after marrying him. That was enough to show how unbearable life in this household was.
It was a good thing that she had left. For her, it was an escape.
Silly Sister had never lived a good life. She was bullied at her parent's home and scolded at her in-laws'. He hoped that in her next life, she would find a better family.
Tan Zhenghong felt a little sad. Although he had no affection for Silly Sister, it was natural for a person to feel such emotions.
Qiao Duo'er was somewhat surprised. "Are you not afraid of me?"
"My master said this world is magical, each person is just a small part of this world, and we never know what kind of wonder may befall someone else. Perhaps 'borrowing a body to return' is your serendipity," Tan Zhenghong said slowly. So, after a brief moment of disbelief, he chose to believe.
"More like an encounter than a wonder," Qiao Duo'er couldn't help but retort. She was willing to travel through time, but couldn't the experience be a bit more dignified?
Tan Zhenghong smiled bitterly. Coming to this family had indeed been an ordeal.
Qiao Duo'er patted Tan Zhenghong on the shoulder. "But it's still good as long as you're alive."
To be alive was to have hope; death was when you truly had nothing.
