I became beautiful by eating melons

Ye Rou stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

It is the family housing provided by University A for faculty and staff.

There was an old man sitting at the door.

The moment she saw the old man's face clearly, Ye Rou's eyes flashed with surprise.

The old man was surrounded by four or five children. He was wearing a long jacket that was so dirty that the color could not be distinguished, a melon-shaped round hat, no shoes, and walked barefoot on the ground, smiling kindly.

The few children surrounding the old man just thought he was having fun and did not listen to his class at all. Instead, they pulled his hat and grabbed his clothes.

The old man didn't care at all and continued to recite the effects of Chinese herbal medicine.

"Pinellia can cure dampness and resolve phlegm, relieve adverse reactions and stop vomiting. Aconitum can dispel wind and dampness..."

The old man's voice suddenly rose, his eyes glowed with excitement, he suddenly grabbed the little boy who was closest to him, and raised his voice to almost shout: "Aconitum and Pinellia should not meet, if they meet, I'm afraid..."

The other children were frightened and ran away screaming.

The little boy who was caught by the old man was so scared that he started crying.

But the old man's voice became increasingly shrill. He didn't care at all whether the child heard him or not. He spoke quickly and in an almost enthusiastic tone, but his voice was unclear, his words were disorganized, his expression was manic, and it was impossible to hear clearly what he was saying.

His crazy look frightened the little boy who was caught and made him cry even more sharply. He subconsciously swung his fists and hit the old man's face, nose and head, struggling desperately.

The little boy attacked the old man randomly and grabbed his eyes. The old man cried out in pain and subconsciously let go of the little boy. The little boy ran away crying.

The old man bent over in pain and kept groaning in agony.

Ye Rou walked over worriedly, "Old man, are you okay?"

At a distance of one step, the old man suddenly raised his head, stared at Ye Rou with bloodshot eyes, and said sharply: "Aconitum and Pinellia should not meet, if they meet, they will be poisonous! Aconitum and Pinellia should not meet, if they meet, they will be... Ugh!"

His face was covered with red scratches, looking hideous and terrifying. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably and he drooled constantly.

He no longer looked kind, but rather more like an evil ghost.

Ye Rou paused. She was not frightened, but she felt that the old man's symptoms did not seem like that of an illness.

She was just about to take the old man's pulse when a sharp, unfamiliar female voice suddenly rang out.

"What are you going to do!"

A man ran out from the family compound and stood in front of the old man.

Ye Rou looked at the woman in front of her, she looked so familiar.

She narrowed her eyes slightly. The woman was very thin, with dark yellow skin. Half of her hair was so thin that her pale scalp could be seen.

Ye Rou found this woman from her memory - Wen Bo's wife.

Ye Rou met her once when she delivered food to Wen Bo.

The woman stared at Ye Rou warily.

Ye Rou explained in a gentle voice: "I am a student of the medical school. I saw that the old man seemed to be unwell, so I came forward to take his pulse."

Her attitude was gentle, but the woman still stared at her warily.

The woman turned around and glanced at the old man's face. She saw the scratches on the corners of his eyes and face, and asked with a ferocious expression: "Did you do this?"

Ye Rou said frankly: "It wasn't me, it was a little boy. The old man suddenly got sick and grabbed the boy. The boy was frightened and grabbed the old man."

【Ding! 】

The melon-eating alarm has sounded.

Ye Rou raised her eyebrows. Suddenly, the sound of many footsteps was heard in the family compound.

Leading the way was the childish voice of a child complaining.

"It was the old lunatic sitting at the door who pinched me."

The family compound was not big, and while we were talking, a group of people ran out.

The leader was a tall and strong man, holding a child who had scratched an old man's face, and had a fierce expression on his face.

The little boy seemed a little afraid of the old man. He buried his face in his father's shoulder and cried and complained.

The man glared fiercely at the old man who was still crying out in pain, and then glared at the woman who was protecting the old man.

"Cheng Hui, how many times has this happened?"

Ye Rou raised her eyebrows. It turned out that the woman's name was Cheng Hui.

Facing a man taller and stronger than her, Cheng Hui did not show any fear. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "I'm still looking for you! Why don't you take care of your children? I told you that the old man is sick, but you still stay close to him."

The man was choked by Cheng Hui's backhanded attack, and he seemed to have come to his senses and shouted: "If he is sick, why let him out!"

"Why can't I come out? University A is owned by your family, and you live alone in the staff compound!" Cheng Hui yelled with saliva flying, her face flushed, and her fingers almost poked into the man's eyes.

The man could no longer bear it and shouted, "A University is not owned by my family, but it is not yours either. You are not the only one living in the family compound. Tell me yourself, how many times has your crazy old man hurt someone?"

"Shut up!"

Cheng Hui said with red eyes: "Don't call me crazy. When my teacher was normal, your father and your son were all cured by my teacher. Now it's his turn to be sick, and you shameless people start to bully him!"

She cursed everyone around the tall and strong man, and a hot-tempered aunt was caught in the crossfire. She immediately said unconvinced:

"Zhu Zi's words are harsh but reasonable. Yes, Teacher Niu has helped us. He cured many people of their illnesses. We remember his kindness. But Teacher Niu's disease is insane. It can't be cured and it hurts people. We can't just let us endure it forever!"

"That's right. With him around, I don't dare let my kids go out to play."

"If it were you, I'd ask him to move out. If Teacher Niu goes crazy, he's no longer a teacher at University A. He shouldn't occupy the staff quarters anymore!"

"That's right. He's not even a teacher at A University anymore. Why does he live in A University's house?"

A group of people started to discuss who would own Professor Niu's house if he left University A.

Ye Rou looked at Cheng Hui who suddenly fell silent.

From her angle, she could only see Cheng Hui's profile. She stared at these people with her eyes blankly, without any expression on her face. Her facial features were like a mask made of clay, gloomy and stiff. On her dark and thin face, only a muscle stretching from her cheek to her temple was bulging.

Even though she was silent, Ye Rou could feel the gnashing anger from her.

The conflict here attracted the attention of many students.

There was originally a wall separating the staff quarters from University A, but the teachers living in the staff quarters felt that it was too troublesome to take a detour back and forth to attend classes every day, so they applied to the school to tear down the wall.

This place is close to the Medical College, the Conservatory of Music, and the Institute of Education. It is also a time for early morning classes, so many students pass by here.

Seeing the excitement here, they all stopped.

More and more students gathered around, and most of the people in the family compound were teachers' family members. They didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so they used both pulling and coaxing to drag the tall and strong man away.

Cheng Hui also escorted the old man into the family compound.

Ye Rou raised an eyebrow as she looked at the progress bar showing that only one-third of the melon had been eaten.

This melon seems to be quite big.

But the class bell rang and she didn't have time to continue exploring.
