After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 27, Episode 0027: I've Never Forgotten

Although she lived in another world's apocalypse for more than ten years, she never forgot that she was a Chinese from the Dragon Kingdom and that her ancestors had yellow skin!

Even after transmigrating to this parallel world, the original owner never forgot what patriotism meant!

Chen Wenkun was silent for a moment, a struggle flashing across his face. After a while, he said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "I still have a bottle of Ginseng Nourishing Pills. It's hidden in the second brick in the corner on the right side of the cowshed. Have someone go and get it."

Compared to this young girl, he felt ashamed.

At such a young age, she was constantly struggling on the brink of life and death, yet she remained devoted to her country.

But what about him?
Faced with the girl who was extremely weak but whose eyes shone brightly, Chen Wenkun felt ashamed and turned away, staggering slightly as he quickly left.

Lin Yuexi watched his retreating figure and sighed softly.

This is also a pitiful person created by the times.

Chen Wenkun's treatment in the book is much better than that of the original owner. Although he is a marginal character, at least he has a clear introduction.

Chen Wenkun was a highly skilled doctor. He was proficient in both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. He once served as the president of the Beijing Municipal Hospital and the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

However, his overseas experience and the so-called "sealing off China and building medical institutions" became excuses for others to deal with him. His only apprentice and three sons were afraid of being implicated, and his eldest son and apprentice even ran away. His wife also divorced him.

On the way, Chen Wenkun suffered cruel torment, and by the time he arrived at the Hongxing Brigade, he was almost unrecognizable.

Although the Red Star Brigade members wouldn't be harsh on anyone, no one dared to take care of them.

In the book, Chen Wenkun dies in the early spring of the second year after the female protagonist goes to the countryside, which is the early spring of the following year. The cause of death is only written as "sudden death".

But a book is a book, and reality is reality.

Lin Yuexi, who possesses psychic abilities, had long ago discovered that Chen Wenkun was being protected by someone. She guessed that Chen Wenkun was being protected by someone from above, but an accident occurred, leading to the current situation.

The higher-ups never gave up on him and always had people protecting him, and not just one. It is obvious that he was important, so the cause of death, 'sudden death', is questionable.

Hongxing Brigade is truly a special place; the people there are special, the educated youth are special, and the villagers are equally special.

Liu Huai walked into the room and saw Chen Wenkun sitting blankly on the kang (a heated brick bed). "What's wrong with you?"

It's like I've lost my soul.

The two are now living in the same room; both are doctors treating Lin Yuexi, and living together makes it easier for them to discuss their treatment.

Looking at the leg he couldn't cross, Liu Huai couldn't stand it. "Don't lie to me, with your medical skills, there's no way you can't cure this leg."

Chen Wenkun looked at him blankly and mumbled, "It'll break sooner or later even if I treat it, so I'm not going to treat it."

Liu Huai felt a sudden pang of sadness in his heart. "...No way."

As for why they wouldn't, they both understand without needing to say more.

Chen Wenkun's medical skills were almost capable of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones. Some people hoped he would live to be a hundred, while others did not want him to live. So even though he was assigned to this remote place, there were still people who went too far to harm him.

Chen Wenkun has been with the Red Star Brigade for five years. In those five years, he has faced danger more than once or twice. He couldn't possibly be unaware that someone was protecting him, so it shouldn't be hard for him to guess who was protecting him. However, Liu Huai also understood Chen Wenkun's distrust; the suffering he had endured was far too great, and even someone in his shoes wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Being abandoned by everyone and even one's family, the physical injuries are actually the least of one's harms.

Chen Wenkun stared blankly at Liu Huai for a while with his lifeless eyes, then looked away and lowered his head. He seemed to have no vitality at all, as if even the sunlight had been blocked out of him.

Liu Huai couldn't stand it any longer. He felt that the air was oppressive and that anything he said would just be sarcastic. He had no right to advise others on how to handle things since he hadn't experienced it firsthand.

He made up an excuse and slipped away. He figured he should go cook; eating would probably make him feel better... right?

Lu Guihua failed to deliver Xiaoyu today, as she was 'intercepted' by the lively scene at the educated youth gathering halfway there.

The educated youth settlement not only "kidnapped" Lu Guihua, but also seduced Ren Yan, who was washing vegetables.

"Aunt Wu, what's going on in here? It's so lively."

When Aunt Wu saw her little friend arrive, she grinned and shared with her, "Er Gou's family from the Fourth Brigade has come looking for us. Er Gou's mother said that Su Xiaohong cheated Er Gou out of more than a hundred yuan and a bicycle ticket."

While excitedly talking, Aunt Wu cleared a path for Ren Yan, managing to squeeze Ren Yan to the front line of the melon-eating crowd with her not-so-imposing figure.

Coincidentally, on the other side was Aunt Lu, another gossip buddy of Ren Yan.

Ren Yan took out a handful of pumpkin seeds that she had roasted yesterday, and the three of them ate the pumpkin seeds with great interest.

The other people in the educated youth compound either hid because they felt ashamed or were simply not there. The only ones who showed up were Li Bin, the person in charge of the male educated youth, Yu Mengmeng, the person in charge of the female educated youth, and the four unlucky female educated youths who shared a room with Su Xiaohong: Lou Yuefang, Yang Qiuju, Qian Duoduo, and Li Laidi.

Er Gou's mother was small and thin, but her two daughters-in-law were both big and strong. When they stood behind her, it was as if two giant steel men were standing behind her.

The scene is as follows: Li Bin and Yu Mengmeng are standing in front of the educated youth settlement, with Qian Duoduo and the others behind them. Su Xiaohong, the person involved, is hiding in the room crying... or rather, crying can be heard.

Er Gou's mother, along with the two giants, stood in a stalemate with the educated youth, and the two sides were having a friendly exchange.

“Auntie, I’m not looking for trouble. It’s just that your Su educated youth went too far. She made an agreement to marry our Er Gou, and agreed on a dowry of 120 yuan plus a bicycle.”

People at the door gasped; this was way too expensive.

Many grandmothers and older women who had wanted to marry off a former educated youth to their children or grandchildren have backed out.

Although the three most popular wedding items nowadays are bicycles, watches, and sewing machines, those are only available in the city. How much money can people in the countryside save in a year? They can't afford them, let alone get the ration coupons. A piece of red cloth to make a wedding dress is the best they can do.

Forget about a dowry of 100 yuan; any family that can save 40 or 50 yuan a year is considered wealthy.

It's usually ten yuan, thirty-three, or sixty-six yuan, and in some places, people can just take away ten jin of mixed grains.

"She said the day before yesterday that she was going to the county to buy a bicycle after the harvest was over. Er Gou was at work and didn't have time to go with her. She said she could manage on her own, so Er Gou gave her the money and ticket for the bicycle."

"They had planned to get their marriage certificate yesterday, but she didn't come back the night before last. Er Gou went to the county to look for her yesterday, and then, do you know what Er Gou saw?"

Er Gou's mother was so angry that her face turned red, and her two sisters-in-law behind her were already rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
