The little girl pointed in a direction and said, “Daddy is in the car!”
Qin Xi looked over and saw a dilapidated and old light truck parked there. Compared to the other well-maintained light trucks, it was especially eye-catching.
Han Shi walked over and looked into the car.
A tall and burly man was curled up on the car seat. His eyes were closed and his face was pale. On closer look, his well-built body was trembling slightly, as if he was very cold.
Han Shi frowned and opened the car door, wanting to touch the burly man’s forehead.
However, before his hand could reach the burly man’s forehead, the latter opened his eyes with hostility and vigilance. He grabbed Han Shi’s wrist at lightning speed.
Han Shi reacted quickly and he instinctively retracted his hand.
This was the burly man’s instinctive reaction to protect himself. When he smelled the scent of a stranger, his instinct urged him to attack. However, when he failed to catch Han Shi, he suddenly became vigilant.
In particular, Han Shi’s extraordinary aura made the burly man’s heart skip a beat. He asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Who are you?”
The moment the burly man opened his eyes, Han Shi sensed that his ident.i.ty was definitely not ordinary.
He could sense a righteous and just aura from the burly man. He was very familiar with this aura. It had to be known that Jiu Yuan had once fought alongside many unyielding generals on the battlefield. Their aura was extremely similar to the burly man’s in front of him.
It was an aura unique to people who survived bloodshed and seen mounds of corpses.
He ignored the burly man’s hostile gaze and shouted at Qin Xi, “Wifey, he is quite sick. Come and take a look!”
The burly man was speechless. He was just sick, but why did Han Shi make it sound like he was about to die?
Qin Xi quickly walked over and placed the child in Han Shi’s arms. Han Shi subconsciously took the child and felt a softness on his arms. There was also a fragrance. His body stiffened and he placed the child on the ground.
However, the little girl did not let go. Her hands were still around Han Shi’s neck as she kept glancing into the car. She shook Han Shi’s neck anxiously and shouted, “Daddy, I want to see Daddy. I want to look at Daddy!”
Han Shi could only pick her up so that she could look into the truck at her dad.
“Tong Tong!” When the burly man heard his daughter’s voice, he ignored the pain in his body and struggled to sit up to get out of the car.
Qin Xi immediately stopped him. “Don’t move. Your body is already collapsing. If you move again, I guarantee that you will be paralyzed on the bed for the rest of your life.”
Even though the burly man’s face was twisted from the pain, he didn’t wail and asked nervously, “Who are you?”
“You don’t have to be so guarded. We’re here to hire a truck driver. Your daughter asked me to come and see you,” Qin Xi said calmly. “You have a waist injury and can’t sit for long, but you chose to drive a truck. Do you know that if you keep on driving like this, you’ll be permanently paralyzed?”
The big man’s eyes widened. “How did you know I had a waist injury?”
“I’m a Chinese doctor.”
“The wrist injury should have been caused by a martial artist specializing in internal energy. As long as you move slightly, your entire body will be in pain. You have to endure pain that ordinary people can’t endure every day.”
The big man was shocked. “How did you know?”
Qin Xi smiled and said, “I can treat you, but I have a condition.”
The burly man was originally pleasantly surprised, but as if he had thought of something, he shook his head. “No, I don’t need your treatment!”
