Gu Ran let go of her hand and hugged her again. She gave her coat to her little sister as a blanket and was only wearing a single layer of clothing.
Feeling her soft body and smelling her faint fragrance brought him peace and joy.
But after a short while, he pushed Su Xiaoqiang away and stopped hugging her.
"what happened?"
"I haven't showered for days, so I'm a bit dirty."
"I don't mind..."
"No..." Gu Ran knew his situation, "The smell of blood on my body is too strong."
After collecting the White King's dragon bones, Gu Ran went to arrange matters for the three Yuan siblings. He originally planned to return to the hotel to rest, but when he passed by a hospital, he found that the emergency room was overcrowded.
That tsunami affected so many people, including many children.
So Gu Ran asked the Snake Clan to arrange a doctor's identity for him, and also asked EVA to forge a medical student's degree for him, so that he could help out in the emergency room.
Gu Ran had learned some surgical skills at Kassel College and also had the Palm Cultivation Technique to heal wounds, which was more than enough for emergency treatment.
Initially, the doctors at the Tokyo hospital treated him as a volunteer, assigning him some basic diagnoses, but Gu Ran said that his strength was in surgery, specializing in emergency care.
So they arranged for him to be a surgical assistant. Later, an older doctor was exhausted after performing several surgeries, but there was a three-year-old child on the operating table. Other interns were hesitant to take on the case because children's blood vessels and internal organs are thinner and more fragile than adults', and the probability of problems is higher.
"I'll give it a try." When the Japanese interns didn't dare to take the plunge, Gu Ran volunteered to take the scalpel.
The old doctor stood aside, intending to give Gu Ran some guidance, but he didn't expect Gu Ran's surgical skills to be so excellent. His incisions were extremely precise, just like a battlefield doctor who had performed surgeries for many years. He could also handle emergencies accurately without the doctor needing to say anything.
Therefore, the old doctor also recognized Gu Ran's skill level and told the hospital's director that he could let Gu Ran perform surgery independently.
Therefore, Gu Ran took over the emergency operating table, specializing in the treatment of seriously injured children.
The tsunami that night affected a large number of people, mostly the elderly and children, with minor injuries.
Gu Ran instructed the person in charge of triage to prioritize the seriously injured children to his operating table. In any case, children are the first priority to be saved in times of disaster, after all, they have not been in this world for many years.
He worked non-stop for three days and three nights without sleeping, spending all his time in the emergency room until this morning, when he finally completed his last emergency surgery.
In the morning, the old doctor learned that Gu Ran hadn't slept for three days and three nights. He wanted to visit him to offer his condolences and also ask if he was interested in coming to Tokyo to pursue a doctorate, since Gu Ran's degree was a medical master's degree and the old doctor was his doctoral advisor.
But Gu Ran took off his white coat and left immediately, without meeting the old doctor or leaving any message for the nurse.
The old doctor, eager to nurture talent, actually used his connections to inquire about Gu Ran from the Snake Clan.
The current head of the Snake-Headed Eight Families is Sakurai Nanami, who has been working tirelessly for days, coordinating disaster relief efforts.
After hearing what Gu Ran had done at the hospital, she understood that Gu Ran wasn't doing it for fame, so she told her subordinates to find a reason to cover it up, but to treat the old doctor well, since he didn't mean any harm.
Sakurai Nanami now has mixed feelings of love and hate towards Gu Ran. She loves him because Gu Ran played a part in keeping the White King at Red Well, and he even went to the hospital to help save people afterwards, which is enough to prove his righteousness.
As for hatred... it's because Gu Ran had Liu Yue buy natural disaster insurance for Yokohama Chinatown and all the Chinese shops along Tokyo Bay, and the insurance company was the Hebi-hachi family's company...
Therefore, the Snake Clan has suffered a huge loss this time!
Fortunately, the Snake-Headed Eight Families have merged with the Demon Clan, so they can recoup some of their losses from the Demon Clan's businesses. The Secret Party has also provided the Snake-Headed Eight Families with loan assistance. In addition, the Snake-Headed Eight Families have accumulated wealth over thousands of years, so the entire family will not go bankrupt. They will just have to get through a difficult period.
Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang sat hand in hand on the picnic mat, talking about what had happened in the past few days.
"So you haven't slept for days?" Su Xiaoqiang touched his hair, which was covered in oil, and she didn't know how long it had been since he washed it.
"Yes, I'm eager to see you."
"There's no need to rush, I'm not going to run away." Su Xiaoqiang pouted and said proudly.
Gu Ran reached out and pinched her chin, looking at her charming eyes and cute little mouth.
Su Xiaoqiang sensed his meaning, closed her eyes slightly, and pouted her lips...
But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't kiss her.
Su Xiaoqiang opened her eyes somewhat annoyed, about to say something to him, but then noticed that he was staring at her from behind.
She immediately realized what was happening and turned around to see the little girl, Lianhua, staring at Su Xiaoqiang and Gu Ran with wide, curious eyes.
"Do you want a kiss?" she asked with a smile and a hopeful expression.
Su Xiaoqiang was a little shy and lowered her head slightly. Seeing this, Xiao Lianhua very sensibly covered her eyes with her hands.
"I won't watch it. I know kids shouldn't watch these kinds of things. My older sister always covers my eyes when they show kissing scenes on TV..."
Gu Ran watched with amusement. Although the little girl covered her eyes with her hands, she left a lot of gaps between her fingers, and her black pupils shone brightly through the gaps, highlighting the ineffectiveness of covering her eyes.
Gu Ran smiled and reached out to pat the little girl's head: "Let me guess, your name is Lianhua, right?"
"You're Brother Gu Ran!" Lianhua stopped covering her eyes at this moment. "You're so handsome!"
"You're cute too." Gu Ran extended his large hand and shook hands with her small hand.
"Since it's our first meeting and I don't have a gift, I'll give you this insect." Lianhua handed the insect box to Gu Ran, and it was clear that she liked Gu Ran very much, which was why she gave him a gift.
"Wow, what a huge rhinoceros beetle!" Gu Ran exclaimed, looking at the beetle's horn. "Such a thick horn!"
"Right? This is the one I picked after a long time. It's the biggest one in the whole forest," Lianhua said proudly.
"But I'm leaving in a couple of days and can't keep it," Gu Ran said with some regret. "I'm sorry."
"It's alright, I'll take care of it for my brother."
"Thank you."
Lianhua has a lively personality, and Gu Ran quickly became good friends with her.
The two were holding hands as they walked home, leaving Su Xiaoqiang behind.
She followed behind without getting angry, a smile always on her lips, wondering if he would be just as good at taking care of children in the future.
Then she complained that she was overthinking things, since they weren't even married yet...
However, they will get engaged this summer, and in two years, when Gu Ran reaches the legal marriage age, the two will get their marriage certificate. Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem too far away.
She was a little shy when she remembered Gu Ran saying he wanted to have a son and a daughter with her. Now that she thinks about it, raising children seems quite interesting.
Just as she was lost in her fantasies, she suddenly noticed Gu Ran jogging over, as if he had discovered something and was going to pick it up.
"Brother Gu Ran, what did you find?" Lianhua ran over after him.
Gu Ran picked up a straight stick from the ground, looked at it in the sunlight for a few moments, and said to Lianhua, "Look, the legendary sword!"
"Wow!" Lianhua's eyes widened, completely mesmerized. "So cool! It really is the legendary sword!"
This stick is really straight, and it's not prickly at all; it's very smooth and easy to swing.
Gu Ran swung the stick a few times, easily cutting down the surrounding weeds!
"Amazing! Amazing!" Lianhua exclaimed excitedly as she looked at the stick.
"Lianhua, this legendary sword is yours." With that, Gu Ran raised the sword high, then, imitating a Western knight's salute, tapped Lianhua's shoulders with his cane before presenting it to her.
Lianhua had seen this ceremony in an animated film and immediately felt extremely honored: "Really? Are you really going to give me such a precious sword?"
"Of course!"
"Great!" Lianhua happily accepted the legendary sword and brandished it.
She regarded the surrounding weeds as enemies and began to 'behead' them.
"What a fine sword! It truly lives up to its legendary reputation!" Lianhua exclaimed happily. "Brother is amazing! He found the best sword in our village on his first visit!"
Su Xiaoqiang, who was behind her, was both amused and exasperated by the scene. She hadn't expected Gu Ran to be so good at playing with children. Or perhaps, boys are just children who never grow up, so they are better at playing with children.
In short, Gu Ran and Lian Hua played in the wild for quite a while longer, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon before they went home together.
When they returned home, they saw Zhang Qiong carrying a hunting rifle in one hand and a sika deer in the other.
"Wow, are there any deer to hunt at this time of day?" Gu Ran asked curiously.
“You can still have sex now, but you won’t be allowed to next month when he’s in heat.” Zhang Qiong looked at her son as he came back and noticed the faint dark circles under his eyes.
She knew that Gu Ran had been saving people these past few days, so she was proud of him and went into the mountains to hunt a deer to give him some nourishment.
"Lianhua, would you like to stay for dinner tonight?" Zhang Qiong went over and pinched Lianhua's cheek.
“Okay!” Lianhua said happily.
"Then let's have roasted venison tonight." Zhang Qiong took the deer back to the yard and prepared to tidy it up.
Chapter 524 The Troubles of Having Too Much Money
In the evening, Zhang Qiong invited Lianhua's family to dinner, but Lianhua's parents were both farming in the fields, so only her two older sisters came.
Lianhua's eldest sister is around 25 years old and works as a teacher at a rural elementary school. Her second sister is 16 years old and attends high school in Tokyo, but her school was flooded by seawater a few days ago, so she is currently on holiday at home and probably won't have to go to school this semester.
When the older sister heard that Lianhua had encountered a black bear today, she asked Su Xiaoqiang about the situation. Finding a bear in the forest near the village was a big deal, and she had to find out the details.
Gu Ran said, "That bear is alright. I threw it two wild rabbits to fill its stomach and hypnotized it so it would go back to the deep mountains. You can hang some bear-repelling bells in the forest. They will be scared when they hear the sound and will not come near the village again."
He had previously planted a seed of intimidation directly in the black bear's mind, so that it would reflexively feel fear whenever it heard the bear-avoidance bell and would never approach it again.
Moreover, this fear will also be passed on to the black bear's 'relatives and friends' and the next generation, so there should be no black bear attacking people in this village.
Of course, it's also possible that a black bear from afar might come and not notice, so we still need to be careful. Anything can happen in the wilderness.
The Lianhua sisters were stunned to hear that Gu Ran could hypnotize the big black bear. They were both very curious about how Gu Ran did it.
What kind of spiritual power could control even animals?
"Brother Gu Ran, I heard you faced the White King head-on this time, right?" Lianhua, the second sister, a high school girl, asked curiously.
"Is that so... but I can't go into details with you."
"Can you tell me other stories about slaying dragons?" Little Lotus asked Gu Ran with sparkling eyes.
"Alright, shall I tell you about my dragon-slaying adventure in South Korea?"
"Okay!" the sisters said in unison.
"First of all, dragons can change their appearance according to their own will, which means they can take on the appearance of humans and live in the human world..."
Gu Ran told stories to the three sisters for more than two hours until around 9 p.m., when Lianhua got a little sleepy and had to prepare to end the event.
"Brother Gu Ran, can I come visit you again tomorrow?"
Lianhua held Gu Ran's hand, pouting and asking pitifully.
"Okay."
