Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 469 The Stick-like Guy Gets Tied Up

Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

He Daqing handed the examination report to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, can my hands and feet ever recover?"

The doctor took the test results, looked at them, and said:

"Comrade He Daqing, you fractured your hands and feet more than a month ago. Why did it take you so long to come to the hospital for treatment? Your hand bones are recovering well and are basically back to their previous state. However, your leg bones are growing crooked. You can still walk normally, but you may limp. How about this, you stay in the hospital for half a month and we will try our best to fix it for you."

Upon hearing this, He Daqing's face darkened, and he hurriedly asked, "Doctor, is it impossible for my foot to fully recover to its previous state?"

The doctor slowly shook his head: "Comrade He Daqing, your leg bone is crooked. We can only try our best to fix it, but it's basically impossible to restore it to the way it was before."

"Will I walk with a limp in the future? Or will I walk like I do now, limping?" He Daqing asked hurriedly.

"No, judging from the angle of your leg bone's growth, it's not very crooked. After the adjustment, you'll probably walk with a slight limp, but it won't have a significant impact on your work or life," the doctor explained.

"That's fine then."

Hearing that it was only a slight limp, He Daqing was finally relieved. He still needed to find a job, and if the limp was too severe, it would be unbecoming of him as a head chef.

He can also restore his hands to their original state so that they don't affect his ability to flip the wok; otherwise, he would be completely finished.

......

Hongxing Primary School.

After school, Bang Geng walked home alone, just like before.

He usually likes to steal food from his classmates and often bullies other students, so no one in the class can get along with him.

He was walking down the main road when suddenly a gaunt young man with a gloomy appearance came up and blocked Bang Geng's way.

Seeing this, Bang Geng pointed at the skinny young man and cursed, "Where did this dead son of a family come from? How dare you block my way! You deserve to die with your whole family!"

Upon hearing this, the gaunt young man nearly ground his teeth to powder, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a gentle smile:

"Little friend, could you do me a favor?"

"Get out of my way! Why should I help a dead child like you? I'm busy right now," Bang Geng yelled.

The gaunt young man kept repeating the phrase "may your family line die out," and he wanted nothing more than to slap the little bastard to death. However, in order to complete his mission, he had no choice but to endure it for the time being.

Forcibly suppressing his anger, the gaunt young man pulled a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket and said with a smile:

"Little friend, if you do me a small favor, I'll give you this White Rabbit candy, how about it?"

Upon seeing that it was White Rabbit milk candy, Banggeng swallowed hard, his tone instantly softening considerably as he asked:

"What do you want me to do for you?"

The skinny young man shoved the White Rabbit milk candy into Bang Geng's hand and laughed:

"Here's the thing, Uncle has something urgent to attend to and needs to go buy some things. But I have some things that I'm worried might get stolen if I leave. Could you watch over them for me and make sure no one steals them? When Uncle comes back, I'll give you a White Rabbit candy, okay? Don't worry, it'll only be ten minutes, Uncle will be back soon."

Upon hearing that it was just guarding the things, Banggeng thought for a moment and said, "No, give me another one, and give me another one when you come back, and I'll watch it for you."

"Hehe, no problem."

The thin young man smiled slightly, then took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket and placed it in Banggeng's hand.

"Little friend, is that alright now? You keep a close eye on things for your uncle, and when he comes back later, I'll give you two more White Rabbit milk candies."

Hearing that he would be given two White Rabbit milk candies later, Bang Geng was overjoyed and patted his chest loudly.

"No problem, Uncle, don't worry. I'll keep an eye on things for you, no one will dare to steal your things."

"Okay, then come with me."

The gaunt young man revealed a sinister smile and led the stick-wielding man into a secluded alley.

After walking for about two minutes, the two arrived at a secluded alley where few people passed by.

Banggeng saw two baskets in a secluded alley and asked, "Uncle, where are your things? Are they those two baskets?"

The gaunt young man turned around, a sinister smile on his face: "Heh heh heh, little brat, you're right here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered Bang Geng's mouth and nose before Bang Geng could react.

"Mmm mmm!"

Bang Geng's mouth and nose were forcefully covered. He tried to shout for help, but no matter what he did, he couldn't make a sound.

He tried with all his might to push away the skinny young man, but how could a seven-year-old child possibly push an adult?

Soon, Bang Geng's eyelids felt heavier and heavier. He felt very sleepy, and the hand he was pushing towards the thin young man slipped down, causing him to faint.

The gaunt young man sneered, "You little bastard, you dare to curse me with the thought of dying without descendants? If I don't show you how many eyes Lord Ma has, I'm a beast."

As he spoke, he quickly took out a large burlap sack from the basket, put the stick stalks over it, then put the stick stalks into the basket, covered them with another large burlap sack, and left the secluded alley with the baskets on his shoulders.

......

The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family.

5:30 p.m.

Qin Huairu had just finished steaming the cornbread when she looked at Jia Zhangshi, who was sitting at the door sewing shoe soles, and asked:

"Mom, have you seen Banggeng? Shouldn't Banggeng be home from school by now?"

Madam Jia Zhang pouted, "He probably took Xiao Dang out to play. I went to the toilet just now and didn't see Bang Geng come back. He was playing in our yard, what could have happened to him? Qin Huairu, don't worry unnecessarily."

"Mom, I just saw Xiaodang playing in the mud with Erdan's son Xiaobao in the front yard. Banggeng wasn't there at all, and he didn't even bring his schoolbag home. Banggeng usually comes home on time after school every day, so where did he go today?" Qin Huairu asked anxiously.

"Mom, hurry up and go find Banggeng. He hasn't come home yet. I'm afraid something might have happened to him. I heard a while ago that Tiedan's son from the next courtyard was kidnapped by a kidnapper, and they still haven't found him."

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia pouted and said, "Fine, fine, I'll go find it right now, okay?"

With that, Madam Jia went to the front yard.
