Chapter 20 hides a man

Back beside the man, Du Ruoxia continued to complain, "You're so tall and strong, it's hard for my small frame to carry you."

Du Ruoxia lost so much blood today, and her strength hasn't recovered yet.

She muttered disdainfully as she bent down to pull the person up. When she saw the snake, which was as thick as an arm, Du Ruoxia's eyes paused for two seconds.

Finally, she found some sweet potato vines to drag the snake along, made a makeshift mat out of grass, threw the person onto it, and dragged them out.

It was too dark, so she could only turn on her flashlight and move her petite frame with difficulty.

She never dreamed that simply trying to help someone would bring her so much trouble!

When Du Ruoxia dragged the person home, the village was very quiet.

Judging by the time, it's already past 10 PM.

Exhausted from the physical exertion and lack of food, she collapsed to the ground, motionless.

"I'm exhausted! This jerk almost killed me!" Du Ruoxia complained to the roof while lying on the ground.

Fortunately, she lived at the end of the village, so no one noticed when she dragged someone out. Otherwise, if the villagers had seen her bringing a man back, they would definitely have reported her for having an affair.

The sweet potatoes she had dug up had mostly fallen off along the way, and she tied the two remaining ones, given to her by the little girl, tightly around her waist.

Du Ruoxia wanted to rest a bit before dealing with the man on the ground when she heard a noise coming from her doorstep.

Luo Xiaojuan is outside.

Luo Xiaojuan came to Du Ruoxia with a book on difficult and complicated diseases. She was influenced by Du Ruoxia and thought that she should also learn more about medicine.

Du Ruoxia patiently explained to Luo Xiaojuan, and then said, "Xiaojuan, it's normal that you can't understand it just by reading the book. After I go to work, I'll see if there's a chance to apply for you to be transferred here to learn. Seeing it with your own eyes will be more useful than what's written in the book."

Luo Xiaojuan nodded happily, "Okay, okay, thank you Ruoxia."

"Xiao Juan, the educated youth settlement is about a kilometer away from here. Be careful on your way back. It's getting dark, and don't take any side roads. It would be bad if you were bitten by a snake or something."

Du Ruoxia remembered the person lying in her room. Luo Xiaojuan, a girl, would definitely be terrified if she encountered a snake.

Moreover, Luo Xiaojuan came to find her, so she can't escape blame.

Du Ruoxia watched Luo Xiaojuan walk away until she could no longer see her back before closing the door.

"Fortunately, we had this snake; it was a pleasant surprise."

She quickly stewed the snake into a soup, and after drinking a delicious bowl, she finally regained some strength.

After relieving herself of her stomach, she went to check on the man on the ground. He showed no signs of waking up and was covered in mud. He didn't deserve to lie in her bed!

She set up a simple wooden bed in one corner of the room.

After settling everyone in, Du Ruoxia went to fetch a plate of water. She bumped into the threshold, which almost shifted!

"This dilapidated house is just one of a series of misfortunes; it's really hard to survive here!" Du Ruoxia was somewhat discouraged; she knew she couldn't stay in this place any longer.

She didn't change the man's clothes; she just wiped him down casually, revealing his true face.

This person...

Du Ruoxia's mind conjured up images of herself "dominating" money at the supply and marketing cooperative.

The birds chirped incessantly in the early morning.

The man's eyes flickered in the quiet room.

The first thing you see is a magnified face with very fair skin, long eyelashes that are close together, and arched eyebrows that are partially hidden by bangs.

It's her!

Yang Zeyan's heart was pounding.

"Cluck cluck!" A loud rooster crowed.

The man quickly closed his eyes, pretending nothing had happened.

Du Ruoxia opened her eyes and was a little confused when she saw the handsome face in front of her. She propped herself up and rubbed her eyes, then she woke up instantly.

Oh right, I saved a man yesterday, I almost forgot.

After regaining her senses, she turned to check on Yang Zeyan on the bed and found that his face was very red. She touched it.

"Oh no, she really has a fever!" Du Ruoxia quickly got up and went outside.

Yang Zeyan carefully opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings. After just one glance, his brows furrowed.

He didn't forget to check his wound, and upon seeing it, his ears turned even redder, and he quickly fell into deep thought.

Du Ruoxia encountered an uninvited guest as soon as she came out. Before she could react, she was already subdued.

"Who are you?!" Du Ruoxia struggled.

Huang Dazhu said, "Du Ruoxia, your parents sold you to me, so you'll be my wife from now on."

"Pah, you filthy scoundrel, my parents are in Haishi."

“I’m from Haishi. Your father is Du Dayong and your mother is Xu Qiuhua, right? Your parents owe me money, so I spent three hundred yuan to buy you as my wife.”

Huang Dazhu was obviously making things up, and Du Ruoxia felt that these people had come out of nowhere.

"What are you waiting for? Tie them up!"

Huang Dazhu waved to his henchmen, and the three henchmen walked towards Du Ruoxia.

Du Ruoxia assumed a defensive posture, looking at the parts of the people's bodies, intending to find the right spot to strike.

Whom are you going to tie up?

A cold voice rang out, and Du Ruoxia mechanically turned her head.

The man who should have been unconscious in bed was now standing behind her. Because he was too tall and the door blocked his view, only his lower body could be seen.

"You, why are you up?" Du Ruoxia put away her thorns and looked at Yang Zeyan apologetically.

Yang Zeyan looked at Du Ruoxia with gentle eyes, smiled at her, and put his right hand on Du Ruoxia's shoulder. The two seemed to have a close relationship.

The villagers of that era saw it differently; at least the distance between men and women was still relatively well-maintained.

Everyone was astonished by the person behind Du Ruoxia.

One of the henchmen leaned close to the man in front and whispered, "Hey bro, didn't you say this woman lives alone? How come she's hiding a man with her?"

Huang Dazhu was also puzzled; why did his story differ from Zhang Qingsong's?

He Meiling, who was peeking from behind, did not see the man's face, but saw a section of his lower body covered in dust. She knew that Du Ruoxia had let the man stay overnight. She had an idea and stepped forward without caring about exposing herself.

"Du Ruoxia, who is this man? How could you just bring someone to your house to spend the night? You have no shame, you're messing around!"

Without saying a word, He Meiling began to accuse Du Ruoxia.

Yang Zeyan frowned upon hearing this, his eyes instantly turning cold.

"You bitch, you've been cheating on me with another man! I'll beat you to death today!"

Huang Dazhu was originally ordered to deal with Du Ruoxia, so he started pointing and cursing directly, as if he were the other half who had caught them cheating.

Du Ruoxia already understood; it was He Meiling who was behind this!

"He Meiling, did you call this person here? I advise you to take him away from me right now, or you'll regret it!"

He Meiling, seemingly unfazed, retorted, "I don't know them. Your parents sold you to them. Don't think you can hide in this shabby little house forever just because you've managed to get the brigade leader to protect you."

This person was definitely not arranged by He Meiling; it was all arranged by Zhang Qingsong and had nothing to do with her. She sacrificed her virginity, and today Du Ruoxia must disappear.
