I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 880: Chapter 879: Predicament

After the Shi Family ’moved into’ the remote village, this girl was the third group of people to come here, and almost without exception, everyone who came was a type of outdoor enthusiast.

Perhaps life was getting better, as many people began to seek outdoor thrills, so cases of lone women entering the deep mountains were becoming less rare.

The first two groups before them saw a couple get driven away, the second was a small group of five hikers, two of whom left the village while the remaining three stayed behind.

Those who left the village were, of course, driven away. There was already internal discord among them, leading to self-division, which gave the village an opportunity to take advantage, and the three who stayed were young people in their twenties. Where they were sent, no one knew, but they were never seen again.

The Shi Family knew that this group of people were not good people, and the fate of those three was likely not good either, because they once saw those people take a child away, only to return gravely ill, plagued with nightmares, and soon depressed to death.

The child’s untimely death had a significant impact on the Shi Family, marking the point when they began to realize that these people might have no boundaries in some areas.

Now that three elders and three younger members of the Shi Family were in the hands of the opposition, the others had no choice but to comply.

Right now, Shi Jianbin could only vaguely make out a shadow, even two people standing together would become ’stuck’ together visually, his eyes were ruined by these devious people!

Despite Shi Jianbin’s condition, the Shi Family still did not give up trying to get the message out, but they were quite unclear about who it should be sent to.

On the surface, various families seemed to get along very well, but when a critical moment truly arrived, nobody knew if anyone would stand up, after all, harmony was one aspect, and competition was another, with competition weighing in more heavily.

Whenever interests were involved, people’s hearts changed.

But regardless, the Shi Family still felt it was necessary to get the message out. Scattered members of the Shi Family might have some ways, which was better than being like a fish on the chopping board, at others’ mercy.

Moreover, the Shi Family held onto some hope that although they didn’t know the identities of these people, seeing them raise so many children with ample spirit indicated that their purpose might not be something the public could accept.

Sending the message was not only to save themselves, but also to save these children. These children could be called the cornerstone of the Mystic Medical World, all of them very promising seedlings, to be raised in captivity only to lose their lives was truly a great pity.

Furthermore, once the existence of these children was exposed, it would surely arouse public indignation and societal condemnation, at which point some relevant personnel might get involved, allowing the Shi Family a chance to escape.

The Shi Family’s information was very restricted, so they didn’t have good plans for many things, nor did they know what the outside world was saying about their disappearance, or even that there were those who wished to take their place.

”Brother, if that girl gets driven away, can we use her to send out the message?” Shi Jianhua quietly asked Shi Jianbin as he supported him by the ear.

When the previous two groups came, the Shi Family hadn’t fully grasped their predicament and what the consequences might be, so they didn’t take any immediate action.

This time it was hard to wait for people to come again, so naturally, they didn’t want to let the opportunity slip by.

But Shi Jianbin shook his head, ”This girl might not be able to leave.”

Shi Jianhua was shocked by the words, his gaze fell on the figure that had now become two small dots, ”You mean, this girl’s spirit is strong?”

Shi Jianbin said nothing, it wasn’t just strong, it was quite substantial, if this girl were a Mystic Doctor, she would definitely be formidable, what a pity...

For some reason, Shi Jianbin felt the girl’s voice was very familiar, a voice he surely had heard long ago and found hard to forget.

Maybe because of that, Shi Jianbin didn’t want anything to happen to this girl. He and others in the Shi Family quietly speculated that those forcibly detained and taken away were likely drugged.

Shi Jianbin’s eyes were ruined when he attempted to secretly escape and was doused with bad water, some bad water needed human blood as a primer, and even that had to be poisonous human blood, which was why they cultivated so many children.

If their guess was right, these phenomena could all be connected and explained, but they had no evidence, it was based on private speculation.

Although this conjecture was about eighty to ninety percent accurate, the Shi Family, being a large family, wouldn’t easily jump to conclusions without evidence.

Shi Jianbin’s eyes were blinded during an attempted escape, nearly costing the Shi Family an elder, so the Shi Family dared not act recklessly again.

Shi Jianbin thought, having already lost his sight, if he ever got the chance, he must warn this girl, to let her find an opportunity to escape early.

Shi Jianbin had a sensitive constitution, this village had three people with sensitive constitutions, as he knew, as if an originally rare crowd was gathered just to sense those with robust spirit, and thus keep those people.

The village was small, but it had many mud-brick houses, for Shi Family adults, except those already married, each could have a mud-brick house.

Don’t think those people were being kind-hearted in this arrangement, living separately meant constant surveillance, preventing easy congregation for discussion.

Shi Jianguang helped Shi Jianbin back to the house, under the watchful eyes of two women. Shi Jianguang returned while holding his breath, a sign that they weren’t supposed to be alone together for too long, yet it wasn’t entirely forbidden for them to interact.

Outside the mud-brick house, there was also a small courtyard fenced in, with virtually nothing inside. It seemed to be newly fenced.

Yet to Shi Jianbin’s surprise, that new girl was actually living in the mud-brick house next door!

”Thank you very much, I never imagined I could live alone in a small courtyard, by the way, auntie, is there anything to eat?”

The girl’s voice was very pleasant, like the tinkling of a spring, not too sweet nor too cloying, offering a touch of coolness in the chest on a summer day, very comfortable!

The village woman chuckled twice, ”It’s just the village food, it’s not a real farmhouse, as long as the girl isn’t disgusted by it, that’s fine.”

”I’m not picky, thank you.” The girl said with a smile.

Shi Jianbin listened to the gradually fading footsteps, turned slightly and asked, ”What’s your name?”

”Shi Tian.” The girl softly replied.

Shi Jianbin was momentarily stunned; he hadn’t heard the name before. ”Why did you come here?”

”For a vacation, climbing wild mountains is exciting. Why are you here?” the girl asked in return.

Shi Jianbin hesitated, wondering if he should reveal anything...
