"Hey, don't move around. Your leg just got sprained. Don't you want this leg anymore?"

Seeing Hua Yu suddenly stand up, obviously wanting to continue working in the fields, Hua Shi hurriedly reached out to help him, frowned, and said in a disapproving tone.

Hua Yu avoided her outstretched hand, his face suddenly darkened, and his tone was cold, "It's useless anyway, what difference does it make whether you want it or not, don't block me."

Hua Shi grabbed his sleeve and pushed him back firmly. "Alright, sit still. I'll go pick the soybeans. You can remove the husks from the stalks and leaves that you've already picked and put them in the bag."

Having said that, without waiting for Hua Yu to react, Hua Shi moved the soybean stalk leaves that were stacked on one side to Hua Yu's feet.

Hua Yu was stunned by her words and actions for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the ankle with protruding bones. A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes and he sneered.

His legs became like this, wasn't it all thanks to her...

He no longer insisted on going to the fields. His goal was to harvest all the soybeans in the fields today and bring them back to report to Li.

Since she was willing to do it herself, there was no need for him to stop her. Once he had peeled all the soybeans and put them in bags, and she was too busy to do it, it wouldn't be too late for him to go over and pick them...

Hua Shi couldn't persuade Hua Yu, who was determined to finish the work. He originally wanted to take a break, but now he had no choice but to continue working.

Hua Yu grew up under the control of the Li family. For more than a decade, the suffering, fatigue, and mental and physical torture he endured made him dare not disobey Li's orders...

I don’t know how long it took, but Hua Shi held his breath and worked hard without stopping. He only felt that the scorching sun rays shining on him were gradually not so hot.

When I raised my head to wipe the sweat off my face, I saw that only a small piece was left...

Looking at the gradually setting sun, the orange-red sunset dyed half of the distant sky with its color...

"call……"

She let out a breath, clenched her palms which were burning from friction, and was surprised by her own perseverance.

Indeed, human potential is unlimited...

By the time all the soybean stalks in the field were pulled out, the sky had already begun to darken.

Most of the setting sun on the edge of the field was hidden behind the distant mountains, leaving only a few clouds that were reflected in the red glow...

"Huh, it's finally done."

Hua Shi lowered his aching waist and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the second half of the day, she hardly stopped. She was sweating profusely and her face was sunburned. Fortunately, she was in good physical condition and managed to hold on.

After a while, Hua Yu had peeled off all the shells covering the soybeans, and today's work came to an end.

The sky gradually darkened, and everything was gray...

Hua Yu slowly stood up, picked up a large bag full of soybeans, and said, "Let's go back."

Hua Shi nodded and picked up the basket on the ground, which contained four frogs and half a bag of soybeans.

Because she was afraid that Li would find out, she didn't dare to put too much in. She only put in a handful. If it was less, Li wouldn't know.

After an afternoon, Hua Yu's entire ankle was completely swollen, with a large bulge wrapped around the dislocated bone. The swelling was blue and purple, and it looked very scary.

Hua Yu used some strength and just stood up, when he felt a pain and numbness all over his leg. Almost in an instant, the excruciating pain made him break out in cold sweat on his forehead and his face turned pale.

Hua Shi also noticed that something was wrong with his expression. When she turned around, she saw his ankle that was swollen like a pig's trotter, and her expression changed.

"It's all swollen and bloody, why didn't you say anything?"

The words came out of her mouth smoothly, and she quickly reached out to steady his unstable body.

She was busy working all afternoon, and Hua Yu didn't show any abnormal emotions, so she thought the injury was not too serious and didn't think much about it...

Now, looking at the swelling, it is obvious that there are blood clots under the purple skin.

She didn't know if it was caused by internal bleeding. Although she didn't know medicine, she could see that something was obviously wrong.

If a blood clot forms inside and blocks the base of the leg, and the entire foot becomes necrotic, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk anymore...

Hua Yu lowered her head, pursed her trembling lips, and said nothing.

"I'm really scared of you. Why are you so stubborn? Can you still walk? I'll help you go back to see the doctor now."

Hua Shi said this as she put one of his arms around her neck and supported him up. With her other hand, she took the bag of soybeans from his hand and helped him walk forward.

The boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was shorter and thinner than her. It wasn't hard for her to support him as he walked. The soybeans were not too heavy, so she could lift them with a little effort.

By the time she slowly helped Hua Yu back to the village, the sky was getting darker and she could only vaguely see the gray road.

Along the way, I could only hear the barking of dogs coming from the alley, but no one was seen...

"Where is He Yaopo's home? Show me the way and I'll help you get there."

Hua Shi asked as they returned to the village path.

The young man, who had been enduring the pain all the way, was sweating profusely, his lips were pale, and half of his weight was on Hua Shi.

Perhaps it was too painful, he had tinnitus in his ears. Even though the words were ringing in his ears, he heard them as if they were coming from far away...

"No, no need, just go back."

His voice was weak and faint.

He knew his leg was incurable, and it would be a waste of money. Why bother with this?

He knew clearly that He Yaopo was just a half-baked doctor, not even a qualified one, and could not cure his leg.

At most, they would prescribe some herbal medicine for him to take home and apply as an application, but they would still charge him a large sum of money. He had saved up some money with great difficulty and didn't want to waste it on such useless things.

Seeing that he was still refusing even after all this, Hua Shi stopped asking him and helped him go to the village.

If he doesn't tell her, can't she ask someone else?

After supporting him and walking for a while, it was already completely dark, so pitch black that it was difficult to see the road.

Just as I was about to knock on a random door and ask for directions, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps from the side road ahead...

"Woof woof!"

The sound of a dog barking suddenly rang out in the silent night...
