Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1126: Chapter 1126: You’d Better Worry About Yourself

"Girl, do you want to go outside and have a look?" Tang Jun asked.

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "If Grandpa goes, I’ll go. I want to follow Grandpa."

"What about your mom and dad?" Tang Jun asked cautiously. It seemed like only the girl and her grandfather lived here, without anyone else. Could it be that the girl’s parents were working outside?

Nowadays, many people go outside to work.

"They’re no longer here." The girl said with some sadness, "Grandma passed away early too, so it’s just me and Grandpa."

Tang Jun was thinking about how to comfort her when the girl swiftly changed the subject, saying lightly, "Brother Tang, although I only have Grandpa, my Grandpa is the best in the world."

When the girl talked about her grandpa, she wore a proud expression, saying, "My Grandpa is a doctor and knows a lot about herbs. The uncles and elders in the village all respect Grandpa. When I grow up, I want to be like Grandpa and help the sick."

"You want to be a doctor?" Tang Jun remembered Yuan Yu, and he encouraged her, "Then study well, and become a doctor who saves lives in the future."

"I will." The girl nodded excitedly. Becoming a doctor was her biggest wish now.

The girl loved to talk and continued chatting with Tang Jun about the village. Although anxious to connect with the outside world, Tang Jun was in a unique situation and had to wait for the girl’s grandfather to return to talk about it.

The village seemed very pure from the girl’s words.

Tang Jun thought the place must be as beautiful as a land of peach blossoms.

"Brother Tang, we seldom have outsiders in our village, you’re the first!" the girl suddenly said. She remembered the sister she just found, saying, "Normally, we don’t see one outsider a year here, but after I found Brother Tang, I found a sister too."

"That sister is really pretty, I’ve never seen such a pretty sister," the girl said joyfully, not noticing the change in Tang Jun.

"Girl, you said you found a sister?" Tang Jun, excitedly reaching out, grabbed the girl’s hand.

The girl felt pain in her hand but nodded at Tang Jun’s excitement, thinking he couldn’t see, she corrected herself, "Yes, Brother Tang, we found a sister. She wore a white shirt, and I heard Grandpa say she’s a doctor."

"Doctor, sister, very pretty."

Tang Jun was almost certain the sister the girl mentioned was Yuan Yu. He asked, "Girl, is she injured? Where is she now?"

Tang Jun wanted to rush out and find her, but all he saw was darkness.

"She’s injured, just at Fat Aunt’s home."

The girl answered Tang Jun’s questions one by one. She asked, "Brother Tang, do you know..." her?

Before finishing, the girl sensed a gust of wind then heard ’bang’ and ’clang’ sounds.

Tang Jun’s tall figure fell to the ground.

"Brother Tang, be careful."

The girl felt a heart-racing fright seeing Brother Tang bump into tables and chairs. If he had hit fire or hot water, he could have injured himself.

"Brother Tang, if you want to see the sister, I’ll take you." The girl helped Tang Jun up and guided him.

Tang Jun felt anxious, hating his uselessness after the fall.

"Brother Tang, how badly is she injured?"

"Was she found in the river like you were?"

Though spring had arrived, the water was still cold. A man would be fine, but what about Yuan Yu?

If she soaked in cold water, it could harm her health.

"Brother Tang, I’m not sure how bad her injuries are; Grandpa checked her. She was found by the river, not far from where you were found." The girl answered crisply, leading Tang Jun swiftly to Fat Aunt’s house.

Arriving at Fat Aunt’s house, they saw Fat Aunt coming out with a basin of clothes.

"Girl, why are you here?" Fat Aunt asked when she saw the girl with a tall man, "Girl, is this the guy you found?"

"Fat Aunt." The girl blushed at Fat Aunt’s words, quickly glancing at Tang Jun, "This is Brother Tang. How is the sister? She might be someone Brother Tang knows, and I brought him to see her."

"I just gave her a warm bath and changed her, but she hasn’t woken up." Fat Aunt carried the clothes, asking, "Little Tang, do you know that girl? Go have a look, she’s still unconscious."

Tang Jun strode forward, while the girl reminded him to watch his step.

Fat Aunt followed with clothes, observing Tang Jun until she noticed there was something odd about his eyes.

"Grandpa." The girl called Mr. Miao.

Mr. Miao saw the girl and wanted to ask why she came but realized why when he saw Tang Jun.

"Tang Jun, do you know her?"

Mr. Miao asked, then recalled Tang Jun’s blindness, asking, "The girl seems like a doctor, but I don’t know if she’s someone you know."

How to confirm if she was Yuan Yu?

Suddenly, Tang Jun remembered a special mark: the necklace Yuan Yu wore when stranded in the mountains, saying, "It’s my mom’s dowry; I’ve worn it since I was little."

Yuan Yu’s nostalgia while talking about Mrs. Yuan deeply touched Tang Jun.

Tang Jun excitedly said, "Grandpa Miao, could you check her neck for a necklace with a heart pendant?"

"There is."

Before Mr. Miao responded, Fat Aunt, who changed Yuan Yu’s clothes, said, "The necklace is gold; that heart looks nice."

Fat Aunt thought the girl was pretty and admired the shiny gold necklace while changing Yuan Yu.

"Yuan Yu."

Tang Jun was now certain she was Yuan Yu; he moved forward, asking, "Grandpa Miao, she’s a doctor. How is she now?"

Knowing it was Yuan Yu, Tang Jun’s concern for her was evident.

"Worry about yourself instead, kid." Mr. Miao glanced at Tang Jun, saying, "You’re just recovering, your eyes can’t see, and the fever just broke. Yet, you came with barely any clothes. Do you wish harm upon yourself?"
