Reborn in the Seventies: Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse Before Heading to the Countryside No Flowers Bloom in June 2445 words 2026-04-01 07:05:35

After all, Great-aunt was getting on in years and had even suffered a fainting spell, so Sun Huaisheng dared not be careless and wrote out the admission orders.

She was to be hospitalized for two days of observation and treatment, and once it was certain there would be no other complications, she could return home to recuperate in peace.

Wang Facai and the others had no objections and quickly went to pay the fees and complete the paperwork.

Once they left, Sun Huaisheng asked Xu Lin to stay behind to discuss the upcoming treatment. Restoring her to the state she was in before fainting would not be an easy task.

After discussing for quite a while, they finally formulated a treatment plan. Sun Huaisheng asked with a curious look on his face, "Do you remember that unlucky patient I told you about?"

"I remember. What about him?" Xu Lin asked.

"Let me tell you, it's no longer just one unlucky fellow; now there are four unlucky fellows. Yesterday, three more similar patients were brought in."

Sun Huaisheng lowered his voice even further. "I still stand by my view. I've truly never seen anyone so unlucky. Moreover, with these four gathered together, their bad luck has compounded. Since last night, not a single one of them has managed to successfully receive an intravenous drip."

When it came to the misfortune of the four men, Sun Huaisheng was truly convinced.

In their room, they didn't dare have beds, tables, benches, or even a stand for hanging IV bags.

For safety's sake, they hung the IV bags from the window, but the rope, which had been tied extremely tightly, somehow snapped.

That was a rope that even a nurse couldn't break with a hard tug.

Later, since they couldn't insert the IV needles, they switched to intramuscular injections in the buttocks, told them to drink more water, and cleared all dangerous items out of the room.

Thinking that it must be safe now, right?

Ha, safety was out of the question. The four men choked so badly on drinking water that they nearly coughed themselves to death.

Now those four had become celebrities in the hospital, and every day people came from afar just to catch a glimpse of them.

Sun Huaisheng felt that if they put up a sign and charged for admission, the earnings in a single day would be enough to pay a nurse's salary.

"Linlin, do you want to go take a look at this oddity?" Sun Huaisheng asked with full anticipation. "If you can figure out any clues, tell me about it."

Xu Lin hadn't expected to be so fated with the unlucky fellows. Thinking of Qin Fang's vicious gaze, she felt that going to take a look wouldn't hurt.

So Xu Lin smiled and said, "You busy yourself with work. I'll just wander over by myself."

"That's fine too. If anyone saw me taking you to watch the fun, there's no telling what they'd say behind our backs."

Sun Huaisheng picked up the finalized treatment plan. "Let's go. I'll check on things at the pharmacy."

Xu Lin smiled and nodded, truly surprised that Elder Sun still had such a penchant for joining in the excitement.

The two walked out of the office. Xu Lin strolled leisurely toward the inpatient ward, while Sun Huaisheng went to the pharmacy by himself.

As soon as she entered the corridor of the inpatient department, Xu Lin spotted the ward of the four unlucky fellows.

The doorway to that ward was truly bustling with people coming and going, creating quite a lively scene. Not content with just watching the commotion, people were whispering to each other and discussing with smiles whose turn it would be next.

It made the four patients inside want to leap up and hurl abuses.

Not only did these people lack an ounce of sympathy, but they were also a bunch who loved adding fuel to the fire.

They even egged the nurses on to give the patients IV drips, as if they wanted to needle them to death.

Others wore wicked grins and asked if they wanted to drink water—sugar water at that. Bah! As if no one had ever tasted sugar water before.

What was most hateful was someone standing at the doorway, gnawing on a large meat bun with immense relish.

It made their mouths water so badly that they ended up choking on their own saliva.

That jerk kept eating with great gusto while cackling away, standing right at the door and finishing three large meat buns while enjoying the spectacle.

It made the four unlucky fellows crave it so much that they demanded to eat meat buns as well.

As soon as this request was made, the nurses and family members were deeply startled. They could choke even on thin rice porridge; if they ate meat buns, wouldn't they choke to death?!

In the end, they didn't get to eat anything and were scolded by the nurse, who asked if they were tired of living.

Oh dear, they couldn't even think about it. Just thinking about it made the four unlucky fellows' livers ache. Living like this was far too stifling.

Just as the four men were feeling aggrieved, Xu Lin's smiling little face appeared at the ward doorway.

The unlucky man lying on the edge recognized Xu Lin at a glance; this was the young girl who had seen through his problem the other day.

Since she could see the problem with him, she must possess some skill, at least.

Even if she lacked ability herself, she should still know people who did.

To stop himself from being so unlucky, the unlucky man pointed—though his arm was broken and he couldn't point at all, he could only shout anxiously in distress.

"Miss, it's you, it's you!" The unlucky man shed tears of remorse. "Miss, save me!"

Xu Lin rolled her eyes, cast her gaze over the other three men, waved her hand, and turned to leave.

She had already seen it: not only had those three men lost their fortune, but they had also lost over a dozen years of their lifespan.

This Qin Fang was truly ruthless; she was pushing people straight onto the path of death.

Taking away their lifespan on top of other people's fortune, she had no idea what it meant to leave a way out so that people could meet again in the future.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave! Don't leave! Stop, stop!"

The unlucky man grew frantic, wanting to stand up and chase after her, but alas, his legs were broken and he couldn't get up. Having no other choice, he could only shout loudly in panic.

"Xiaochun, Xiaochun, hurry up and catch up with that young girl in the blue clothes. Quick, she has a way to save us."

"What?" Several heads crowded into the ward doorway, and the other three unlucky fellows simultaneously turned their heads to look at the unlucky man.

Because they turned too hastily, two of the unlucky fellows pulled a muscle, causing their eyes to twitch from the pain.

"She has a way to save us. Hurry, go chase her down! You must catch up with her!"

The unlucky man was so anxious tears came out. Why was this silly Chun so clueless?

"Really? Is she the young girl you asked to look for?" Xiaochun asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, go!" the unlucky man roared. And roar he did—a gust of cold wind rushed down his throat, setting off a string of coughs.

The onlookers were dumbfounded, not expecting that even roaring was forbidden. This was truly something!

Before they could even finish marveling, the unlucky man barely managed to suppress his cough and urged again, "Hurry up and go!"

"Oh," the man named Xiaochun acknowledged, turning to leave before suddenly turning back to ask, "Bro, why is your voice hoarse?"

Oh dear, a wave of discussion broke out among the onlookers. They had thought that choking on the cold wind was unlucky enough.

They never expected that letting out a roar could also make one's voice hoarse. It really was a sight for sore eyes.

The unlucky man rolled his eyes in exasperation and rasped in a hoarse voice, urging Xiaochun to chase after her quickly. If they missed her this time, would they ever have a chance to run into her again?

The unlucky man didn't want to keep being this unlucky; he was afraid he would be unlucky to death.

There were thousands of ways to die in this world, but the unlucky man felt the one he least wanted to accept was dying of bad luck.

And he certainly didn't want to become an unlucky ghost after death.

The other three unlucky fellows also snapped to their senses and hurriedly urged their family members to go after her.

Go chase her, catch up with her quickly! Those three unlucky fellows were even more urgent than the first one.

No matter how young one was, nobody wanted to live looking like an old grandpa or an uncle.
