Chapter 2344

Yan Aohan nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhu Yanyi and said, "I was just expressing my feelings. But I must say, this child is truly destined to be close to us."

Yan Aohan was not speaking politely. With everyone else, he maintained a slight distance even in intimacy. However, with Zhu Yanyi, he had never felt any such distance. Now, Little Northwest was the second person he actively sought closeness with.

"Little Northwest is our child from the start," Zhu Yanyi glared at Yan Aohan. Outsiders only knew one truth: Little Northwest was their child. Even Grandpa Yan, Madam Alogangsan, and Zhu Shunyao from the Zhu family had forgotten, under Yan Aohan’s subtle hints, that Little Northwest was not biologically theirs. They subconsciously believed she was their first child.

"Yes, my wife is right. Little Northwest is our child," Yan Aohan smiled softly. Life with a wife and child was truly happy.

The drive from Sicheng Town to Hangzhou took two and a half hours. Upon entering the city, their first stop was their residence. It was wise to have preparations made in advance; the house was ready for use.

This time, their Hangzhou home was very close to West Lake. Zhu Yanyi loved the scenery there. It gave a sense of peace, unlike the vast, overwhelming feeling of Taihu Lake.

Although they drove themselves, traveling was tiring. So, their first task in Hangzhou was to rest. Little Northwest slept all the way to their home.

They bought an entire unit in Hangzhou, not just an apartment. Because the unit was independent, no one knew it was owned by one person, nor that it had been renovated. The building had six floors. They combined every two floors into one level, creating three large levels. This provided many rooms and a spacious living area, with excellent decoration.

Yan Aohan was satisfied. With so many rooms, Little Northwest even had a dedicated playroom.

"It’s too luxurious. You even renovated Little Northwest’s playroom. We won’t stay here long," Zhu Yanyi said helplessly.

"We’ll stay for over a month. What if you have patients? What if you encounter someone like Zhang Xiaofeng and need to extend your stay? Can you leave early? Besides, our child needs to start learning. I plan to teach him while he plays during this time," Yan Aohan had a plan.

Since Little Northwest was destined to be his child, Yan Aohan, as a father, would arrange his future carefully, ensuring he stayed on the right path.

Zhu Yanyi agreed with Yan Aohan’s arrangement. From then on, Zhu Yanyi treated patients, while Yan Aohan taught Little Northwest.

Little Northwest was smart. She quickly learned what Yan Aohan taught her. After learning pinyin and how to use a dictionary, she fell in love with the Xinhua Dictionary. She held it every day, learning characters. Sometimes she forgot to eat. Her diligence amazed Zhu Yanyi. The child was precocious.

Zhu Yanyi’s time as a traveling doctor in Hangzhou lasted one month. In that month, everyone in Hangzhou knew about the medical vehicle. No one knew where it would go next day. But wherever it stopped, if there were patients, she could cure them, regardless of the illness. Many people’s confusing ailments were cured.

By the time some people heard the news and rushed over, Zhu Yanyi had already moved to the next city.

Thus, everyone realized that seeing the medical vehicle was a matter of fate.

After this period, Zhu Yanyi understood the meaning of "following fate." It was also a form of doing as one pleased. Whether patients met her or she met them, it was mutual. Zhu Yanyi liked this way.

However, this calm life lasted only four months before news arrived of an earthquake in Sichuan Province.

Zhu Yanyi immediately drove toward the disaster zone.

To be safe, Little Northwest was left in Zhu Yanli’s care.

Zhu Yanli and her family had joined them earlier. Since Zhu Yanyi had business, Little Northwest stayed with Zhu Yanli. For safety, Taishu Yuanxiang took Zhu Yanli back to Beijing by plane.

Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi traveled to Sichuan by car, driven by Luo Gang and others.

They carried enough gasoline and refueled at stations along the way. The drivers took turns driving.

During this time, Zhu Yanyi used the medical vehicle to refine various protective medicines.

When Zhu Yanyi and her team arrived, aftershocks were still occurring.

Zhu Yanyi entered the refugee area immediately. She examined patients and distributed medicine.

Although she was not the first to arrive, she worked the fastest.

Yan Aohan and Luo Gang helped catch, boil, and distribute medicine.

Zhu Yanyi was recognized a week later. This happened because the person leading the rescue medical team was Hun Junlan.

"Teacher," Hun Junlan said, surprised to see Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "You have returned from peacekeeping."

Hun Junlan nodded. "I returned last year."

Zhu Yanyi said, "Let’s talk about this later in Beijing. For now, let’s save lives."

"If I had known you were here, I wouldn’t have worried," Hun Junlan smiled.

"Junlan, remember, as a doctor, do not rely on others. You are a doctor. Everything you do is for yourself. Saving people here is also for yourself. So, do not care if I appear or not. The outcome is the same because you must save lives with all your heart," Zhu Yanyi reminded her seriously.

"I understand, Teacher. I will go to work," Hun Junlan knew his previous words were wrong and replied quickly.

Zhu Yanyi smiled and nodded. "Go."

No extra words were needed. With Zhu Yanyi there, Hun Junlan notified her fellow disciples. Soon, everyone in Beijing knew Zhu Yanyi was at the disaster site.

The Big Boss received the news and sighed helplessly. "This Zhu Yanyi. She is always like this. But we indeed need such a doctor."

"Yes," the Second Boss said seriously. "Big Boss, since Zhu Yanyi is there, Yan Aohan is likely there too. If there are matters they cannot handle, perhaps let Yan Aohan deal with them."

"You mean the landslide dam formed on the mountain top?" The Big Boss understood instantly. "That is a good idea. Only he can handle this."

Thus, Yan Aohan received an additional task.

Yan Aohan looked at the message on his phone, raised an eyebrow, and said nothing. He went to Zhu Yanyi’s side and whispered to her.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow and said, "I will give you some pills. You may not need them, but the people trapped there might. If anyone is critically ill, tell me. I will come directly." The couple could move back and forth easily.

Yan Aohan nodded. "I am leaving. I will let Luo Gang and the others continue here."

Zhu Yanyi nodded in agreement and said no more.

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan separated temporarily. Yan Aohan went to handle the landslide dam formed days ago. This dam was not old.

Sichuan Province sits on a seismic belt, with minor earthquakes occurring regularly. No one expected this earthquake to be so severe. There were old landslide dams, but after years of management and excavation, they had become useful natural lakes.

However, this lake was caused by the recent earthquake. It was located between two mountains. One side was weak. If too much rain washed away the weak section, it could cause widespread flooding or landslides.

Yan Aohan’s main task was to handle this landslide dam.

For Yan Aohan, handling such a lake was not difficult. The main issue was that people were trapped on the other side. Due to the earthquake, the weather was unstable, with intermittent rain. No one knew what would happen next.

Yan Aohan moved quickly. With no one holding him back, he moved like a beam of light, using the flow of air, wind, and rain in the space to advance rapidly.

Upon reaching the landslide dam, he observed the situation and frowned slightly.

The situation was worse than he imagined. The weak side faced the trapped crowd. So, the first priority was to rescue people. To prevent the dam from tilting, Yan Aohan placed a barrier. It was a light barrier, designed to prevent the dam from being affected by the surrounding environment. The first task was to save people.

Yan Aohan went directly to the trapped crowd.

A soldier who was trying to calm the crowd stepped forward and said, "Hello, comrade."

Yan Aohan said nothing more. He directly showed his ID. The soldier saluted sharply after checking it. "Your Excellency, Lei Zhouxi, member of Rescue Squad 143, reporting."

Yan Aohan said, "Lei Zhouxi, lead your people and leave via another route immediately. You have only four hours. That means, within four hours, your task is to bring everyone to the opposite mountain top. After four hours, I will handle this landslide dam. Do you understand?"

"Understood. I guarantee to complete the mission." No matter how many difficulties arose, they had to complete their task.

Yan Aohan nodded, satisfied. "Alright, you may depart."

"Yes." Lei Zhouxi led Rescue Squad 143 and began moving people to the opposite mountain. Due to the rain, the mountain path was very slippery. After walking only a short distance, one person slipped and rolled down.

This frightened everyone. Yan Aohan saw this, stepped lightly, grabbed the person, and landed safely above.

Everyone watched in awe. What kind of ability was this?

"What are you looking at? Hurry and lead them away," Yan Aohan frowned slightly.

Lei Zhouxi immediately led the people, carefully having those in front help those behind, pairing them up. The progress was slow, but they were moving.

Normally, the trip from the foot to the top of the mountain took half an hour. However, due to constant aftershocks and slippery roads, it took three and a half hours. Fortunately, they completed it within four hours.

Yan Aohan confirmed everyone had moved and scanned the area to ensure no one was left below. Then, he waved his hand and struck the landslide dam with a palm, creating a hole. The water drained out, and using the water’s force, it formed a channel.

Yan Aohan was very satisfied. Seeing planes in the sky, he knew rescue had arrived. He did not stay long. Once the task was done, he left and headed back.

If the Big Boss had not asked him to handle this, he would not have come.

Zhu Yanyi was also busy saving lives. A sudden aftershock broke a fragile road, and a child fell down.

"Save my child!" Zhu Yanyi saw a mother begging desperately.

Zhu Yanyi looked. The broken road revealed a chasm nearly fifty meters deep. It was too deep for ordinary people to descend.

"We have called for help," someone advised the mother.

The mother looked at her child below. The child had fallen from a height. Although not a straight drop, the friction caused severe injuries.

Zhu Yanyi slung her medical box over her shoulder, said nothing, and jumped down.

Onlookers were shocked. But Zhu Yanyi’s martial arts skills were high, and as a cultivator, descending was no problem.

Zhu Yanyi reached the child. Fortunately, she arrived in time. The child’s legs were comminuted fractures from the fall, and she was bleeding heavily.

Zhu Yanyi had no time for anything else. She took a clean cloth, carefully placed the child on it, and inserted gold needles into the corresponding acupoints quickly.

Confirming there was no immediate danger, she prepared her medical box, carried the child horizontally, looked up, and pushed off with her foot. Using air resistance, she flew directly to the top.

"Wow, am I watching TV? Real lightness skill!" Onlookers were stunned.

Zhu Yanyi ignored their comments. "Brother Luo, notify people to prepare the operating room immediately. This child needs surgery right away."

"Yes, Madam." Luo Gang hurried to prepare. Zhu Yanyi carried the child over. The mother cried and approached. "My child."

"Stop crying. Your child is not dead yet. Stand aside. Crying like this is inappropriate," Zhu Yanyi had no time for the mother. To her, crying women were the most useless in emergencies.

Zhu Yanyi ignored her and carried the child to the operating room. It was simple, allowing only basic disinfection.

While they disinfected, Zhu Yanyi wrote a prescription for Li Yang. "Brother Li, prepare the medicine immediately. As usual, boil three bowls of water down to one, then bring it in."

"Yes." Li Yang went to prepare.

Zhu Yanyi put on gloves and a mask, walked to the child, and began operating quickly. The gold needles remained in the child’s body.

Everyone had witnessed Zhu Yanyi’s medical skills. Even if they did not know her true identity, they had great hope in her surgery.

Hun Junlan heard the news and came over. Seeing the worried mother at the door, she said, "Sister, do not worry. The doctor operating on your child is Zhu Yanyi, the Divine Doctor of China. Since she is willing to operate, your child will not die."

"Really?" The mother looked at Hun Junlan.

"Really," Hun Junlan said seriously. "She is my teacher. My medical skills were taught by her. So, do you believe it?"

Everyone was shocked again. They now realized how powerful Zhu Yanyi was. Her disciple, Hun Junlan, was capable, as they had seen.

The surgery lasted four hours. After completing the operation, Zhu Yanyi used a syringe to inject the boiled medicine into the child’s body. She checked the child again and was satisfied.

She walked out and said to the mother, "Your son is fine now. However, she needs to be observed in a special ward for forty-eight hours. You can visit her in the morning and afternoon, but each visit must not exceed fifteen minutes. Also, before entering to see her, you must clean yourself. You are covered in mud, which means you are carrying bacteria. It is best not to visit."

Zhu Yanyi’s words were blunt, but the mother nodded seriously. "I will go clean up. I will go clean up now."

Saving the child was enough. She was relieved.

Zhu Yanyi gave some instructions to the caregivers and then went outside to check on the refugees again.

"Bad news! The mountain road on that side is broken. Injured people cannot be brought over. A pregnant woman is about to give birth," someone shouted.

Zhu Yanyi was startled. Remembering the broken road, she had no time to rest. She headed directly there. Perhaps only she could save the people below.
