Chapter 35: A lonely man and a lonely woman in the dead of night
Ye Xiaomei looked at the passbook in the evening. Was Ma Qijun lying?
Think about it, he is such a tall man, but he actually lied to a young girl like her. Why did he lie to her?
"If possible, take me there. The Armed Forces Department is not far away." Ye Xiaomei pulled Heizi into the car quickly. This matter was quite urgent.
The county’s armed forces department is not far from the police station. Although they are not the same department, all new recruits selected for military service every year must undergo screening by the armed forces department.
All soldiers who left here were recorded, including their subsequent military titles, which were all counted by the local armed forces department.
There have also been times when local security needs required the dispatch of armed police personnel from the Armed Forces to provide support.
"Heizi, your boss said that you can get it after finding the guy named Li Chengquan to stamp it." Ye Xiaomei urged hurriedly.
This was her first time in the Armed Forces Department. The yard was very large, and the military trucks and people in military uniforms coming and going made the atmosphere particularly intimidating.
"Sister-in-law, just follow me. I've been here before and I'm familiar with this place." Heizi faced Ye Xiaomei and took out his ID and entered the armed forces department.
There were also receptionists in the lobby. They all saluted when they met and greeted each other, looking extremely serious, causing Ye Xiaomei to follow Heizi closely, fearing that she might not be polite enough.
"Old Li." As I pushed open the office door, I saw a young man in his early twenties sitting at the desk.
"Zhao Heihu? How come you have time to come here?" Li Chengquan walked up and patted Heihu on the shoulder.
Mr. Li? Ye Xiaomei looked at the two of them talking, just waiting for the bank to stamp her document before closing time.
"By the way, Old Li, let me introduce you to Brother Ma's fiancée." Heizi was very good at putting on a good show, causing Li Chengquan to quickly salute:
"It's my sister-in-law. Hello, sister-in-law."
"Okay, all good." Ye Xiaomei was a little reserved.
"Stop talking nonsense and stamp it quickly. Since Brother Ma was injured, his allowance has been transferred to the local area. For the sake of convenience, I have to go through the procedures here."
Zhao Heihu was reliable and got straight to the point. Ye Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengquan frowned for some reason, and sighed the moment the steel seal fell from his hand:
"Brother Ma has applied for retirement after the incident. I'm afraid he can only apply for medical assistance next month. What a pity. There is only one head like him in our county."
There was a flash of lightning in Ye Xiaomei's mind, and her ears rang for a while before she came to her senses.
This is definitely something Ma Qijun could do. It reminds Ye Xiaomei of her former grandfather, who was also stubborn and unwilling to accept help from above.
"Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences. Brother Ma is a good man, and you are also a good person." Li Chengquan saluted Ye Xiaomei.
Ye Xiaomei curled her lips and said, "Thank you, Brother Li."
Following Heizi out of the Armed Forces, the sun was already setting outside and the cool evening breeze blew against my face, sweeping away the day's heat.
There was no time to lose, Ye Xiaomei hurriedly urged Heizi to go to the bank.
Ye Xiaomei took out the entire 500 yuan monthly allowance.
When returning to the car from the Chinese medicine store, Ye Xiaomei counted the bill again and again until even the extra two cents that the boss had erased was correct.
It cost a total of one hundred and thirty yuan. Ye Xiaomei didn't know how to explain it to Brother Ma. Moreover, this kind of golden bell root is so expensive, one piece costs eighteen yuan. This is only a three-year-old root. One piece that is more than ten years old will cost more than one hundred yuan.
But it happened to be the most important part of the medicine. If it grew in the north, she would definitely find a way to grow it herself.
As night fell, the car stopped outside the Ma family's low wall.
It was already past dinner time, and farmers didn't have televisions or anything, so they went to bed early.
It was the first time that Ye Xiaomei took the initiative to quietly push open the door of a man's room. The quiet air seemed like her heartbeat beating on her eardrum.
The lights in the house were dim, and it was the first day of the next month, so there was not even a trace of moonlight.
Ye Xiaomei groped nervously, thinking that Ma Qijun should be asleep. She touched but found nothing. She took two steps forward uncontrollably and unexpectedly entered Ma Qijun's bedroom.
Ma Qijun is really a weirdo. He sleeps without closing the door. Ye Xiaomei wanted to knock on the door. Snap...hiss! It hurts.
Ye Xiaomei kicked the bench with her foot, and her calf bone felt a piercing pain. She staggered.
"who?"
Snap! With the sound of the light rope, Ma Qijun sat up suddenly and saw Ye Xiaomei's red face twisted, and she was bending over and rubbing her front legs vigorously.
Their eyes met for a moment, and Ye Xiaomei's gaze moved slightly on Ma Qijun.
The tendons on his bare arms were clearly visible, and his bronze skin smelled of male hormones.
Ye Xiaomei turned around abruptly.
"Why haven't you gone home so late?" Ma Qijun also realized that it was too indecent, and hurriedly pulled over the white vest and put it on.
Ye Xiaomei turned her back to Ma Qijun and kept using the back of her hand to cool her face. It was horrible. At that moment just now, she was actually licking his muscles, his arms, and his body.
"I...I, I asked Brother Heizi to take me to the county to get medicine." Ye Xiaomei stammered. In order to cover up the urge to act like a hooligan, she quickly produced evidence:
"Here, these are the herbs I mentioned. They can cure your legs."
Ye Xiaomei placed the cloth bag on his desk, slowly turned around and took a peek at Ma Qijun. She found that he had put on his vest, and her pounding heart finally calmed down a lot.
She sat on the chair, holding onto the corner of the table, otherwise her legs would have gone weak.
"Cure my illness?" Ma Qijun's eyes lit up, but looking at this girl he didn't feel that she knew medicine.
Previously, his mother Wang Lan had looked into the girl's background in detail. She was illiterate and had never been to school for a single day. She would not poison him.
The corners of Ma Qijun's righteous face twitched strangely.
"Yes, it can be cured." Ye Xiaomei said confidently, "But it needs acupuncture as well."
Ye Xiaomei quickly took out the newly bought needle bag from her cloth bag: "By the way, this money is...part of your allowance."
Ye Xiaomei frantically took out the remaining money from her pocket, a total of 370 yuan. Just as she was about to hand it over, Ye Xiaomei suddenly retracted her hand and placed it on the desk for him:
"I'll put it here for you first."
Ma Qijun was looking at Ye Xiaomei the whole time. Her flustered little movements were like those of a frightened little rabbit. If she didn't speak for half a minute, she would keep twisting the corner of her clothes.
It makes people feel itchy and distressed: "Okay, then I will give myself to you, and I will do whatever you say." Anyway, he will be the girl's in the future.
Just thinking of this lonely man and woman in the middle of the night, Ma Qijun's heart beat three beats in a row, making his eardrums hurt.
"Really?" Ye Xiaomei's eyes brightened instantly. That's great. If it works a little tonight, even if Brother Ma goes to the city for inspection tomorrow, there will be no need for amputation.
"Brother Heizi, please help me boil the medicine."
Ye Xiaomei ran out of the room. Heizi was pacing back and forth in the yard in worry: "Sister-in-law, is there any way?"
"You boil this packet first. When you come back, don't throw away the residue. Use it to boil a pot of bath water. Oh, yes, that water tank. Use that water tank as a bathtub."
The knowledge that Ye Xiaomei had studied for so many years finally came in handy.
Heizi scratched his head and asked: "Which one?" He pointed to the big water tank at the corner of the yard.
"Yes." Ye Xiaomei nodded vigorously.
She turned around and planned to give Ma Qijun acupuncture all night. As soon as she reached the door, Ye Xiaomei's head shrank back again. A problem arose.
She was so close to him, what if she softened?
