After saying this, he climbed down from the tree. Before Su Li could run away, he was attacked by the emerald green bamboo viper.

Its attack was so fast that she didn't even have time to react before she felt a sharp pain in her calf.

Gu Huanian immediately cut the snake in half with a knife and tossed it aside. He quickly squatted down, picked up her calves with both hands, and began to suck out the snake venom.

As he inhaled and exhaled, Su Li's initial fear inexplicably subsided.

Gu Huanian kept inhaling until fresh blood flowed out.

"Don't be afraid, it should be nothing serious." This was the first time Su Li had heard Gu Huanian's voice so gentle.

Su Li felt that she should be fine, but Gu Huanian had some poison on his lips.

I don't know why I'm so unlucky. This is the second time she's encountered a snake with him. It's like God is determined to see her get bitten.

Seeing that the woman in front of him was still relatively lucid, Gu Huanian breathed a sigh of relief.

He crouched down and said, "Get on, I'll carry you to the hospital."

Su Li didn't hesitate and simply lay down on him. The man's back was very hard, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

She unconsciously shifted a few times.

Gu Huanian only felt a soft mass rubbing against his back.

This made his body tense up a bit.

"Don't move," the man's voice was hoarse and magnetic.

She felt like her ears were pregnant; oh my god, how come she never thought his voice was so nice before?

Gu Huanian took a shortcut down the mountain, which Chen Shengnan and Aunt Li did not know. They thought Su Li was picking something in the mountains again.

As Su Li was being carried down the mountain, she happened to run into Su Jiaojiao seeing Li Liang and Li Fang off out of the village.

Gu Huanian spotted the bicycle Li Liang was pushing and quickly went up to him, saying, "Comrade, could I borrow your bicycle for a moment? My friend was bitten by a snake, and I need to take her to the town hospital."

Li Liang turned around and saw Su Li on Gu Huanian's back. He was still angry about how she had slapped his sister earlier.

Now, hearing from this soldier that she had been bitten by a snake, he silently cursed her, thinking she deserved it.

Li Liang looked at Su Li with schadenfreude and said, "I won't lend it to her. Someone like her deserves to be bitten by a snake."

Li Fang chimed in, "Yes! Comrade soldier, I know you mean well, but you have no idea how wicked this woman is. She refused to help someone in distress this morning, and now she's getting her comeuppance!"

Gu Huanian didn't expect that these two would not only refuse to lend the money, but also make sarcastic remarks.

He knew Su Li better than they did.

He didn't press the matter further, recalling that he had seen a bicycle at the brigade leader's house before.

He went there to borrow it.

When Li Fang saw the man about to carry Su Li away, she reached out and stopped him, saying, "Comrade, it's not worth saving someone like her. Look at her, she's wearing a veil and is afraid people will see her face. She must be very ugly and probably can't get married. Be careful, if you send her to the hospital, she'll cling to you."

Jiaojiao was helped by her neighbor once, and now she's being taken advantage of.

She had seen too many people like this when she went back to her hometown with her father to pay respects to their ancestors. She knew she shouldn't help them; if you help them even once, they will pester you relentlessly.

She only chose this soldier because he was good-looking and clearly came from a wealthy family. It would be such a waste if she ended up with this ugly guy.

Gu Huanian's face turned cold in an instant. If Su Li really clung to him, he would be more than happy. And this person was too self-righteous; "Just because you're ugly doesn't mean everyone else is like you."

Upon hearing this, Li Fang was furious. How was she ugly? But faced with the man's cold face, she only dared to curse Su Li in her heart.

Su Li, who was lying on top of him, really didn't expect that these two people, despite their young age, had so many thoughts.

She hadn't expected Gu Huanian to have such a sharp tongue; it was quite unique.

Su Jiaojiao then brushed a stray hair behind her ear and stared straight at Gu Huanian.

"Comrade, don't be angry. My sister is just too naive. Today, Su Li saw someone asking her for help, but she refused to help, which is why my sister is a little angry. He's afraid you'll fall into his trap. Besides, it's not right for a man like you to be carrying Su Li on his back; it would damage your reputation. Otherwise, you can put her down, and I'll take her there on my bike."

Gu Huanian didn't put it down, only saying, "Life is more important. You're riding too slowly, I'll take you myself."

Su Jiaojiao winked at Li Liang; "Xiao Liang, let this comrade ride the bicycle for a bit!"

Li Liang was very unwilling, and everyone could see that. He even glared fiercely at Su Li.

Su Li received the message, and she said dismissively, "No need, I find your vehicles uncomfortable to use. Battalion Commander Gu, let's borrow one from the battalion commander."

Gu Huanian also felt that these people were being indecisive. If they wanted to lend money, they should have done so; if not, they should have said so earlier. All this dawdling was just a waste of time.

So he carried Su Li on his back and ran quickly toward the brigade leader's house.

Su Li felt dizzy from being jostled on his back. She patted his shoulder and said, "Slow down, you're going too fast."

Gu Huanian's ears instantly turned bright red, reminding him of last night when she said the same thing in his dream, only her voice was more alluring and lingering...

The two went to the hospital, and at Su Li's suggestion, Gu Huanian also had a check-up. The doctor said that thankfully, the treatment was timely.

After the treatment at the hospital, Gu Huanian said to Su Li, "There's no time to cook on the mountain today. You can rest in this ward for a while. I'll go to the state-run restaurant to pack some food for you. See if there's anything you particularly want to eat or anything you can't eat."

"I'm fine with anything."

"Alright, you wait here."

Gu Huanian strode out of the ward, went to the state-run restaurant and ordered a braised pork, braised fish and shredded potatoes. After packing them in a lunchbox, he had just left the state-run restaurant when he heard a familiar voice calling him from behind.
