Zhou Jianming stood quietly not far away, staring at his childhood sweetheart Liu Yiyi with gloomy eyes.
She looked so strange in front of me, as if she was a completely different person.
The Liu Yiyi in his memory was like pure and flawless white moonlight, beautiful and desirable.
However, at this moment, that beautiful image has been shattered.
At this moment, Xia Chan's crying and frightened voice suddenly came:
"Zhou Zhiqing, I think I was bitten by a snake. Please help me check if it's poisonous!"
Hearing this, Zhou Jianming's heart tightened.
At first, for some reasons, he was wary and rejecting of Xia Chan, but after spending some time together, he gradually let go of his prejudice and began to slowly accept this girl.
Hearing this, Zhou Jianming frowned tightly, quickly turned sideways, and asked with concern:
"Xia Zhiqing, where are you hurt?"
Xia Chan raised her foot tremblingly, pointed at her ankle and said:
"It's right here."
Zhou Jianming looked closely and saw two deep tooth marks on the fair skin, surrounded by bloodstains that even flowed to the heel of the shoe. It looked really scary.
This horrifying scene caused the surrounding villagers to come over to check what was going on.
Someone couldn't help but take a breath and said worriedly:
"Oh no! This wound doesn't look like an ordinary water snake bite!
Xia Zhiqing, do you still remember what the snake that bit you looked like?
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Chan, waiting for her answer.
"Wow, it seems, it seems a little colorful. It bit me and ran away. It hurts so much. What should I do? Is it poisonous?"
Xia Chan cried out and trembled with fear.
After looking around, I could no longer suppress the fear and despair in my heart. Tears burst out like a dam breaking, and my cries echoed in the air, heartbreaking.
Her delicate body trembled constantly due to extreme fear, like a fallen leaf in the wind.
She was filled with resentment. She was so young and there should be countless wonderful possibilities waiting for her to explore and realize in the future.
However, at this moment, the shadow of death hung mercilessly over her head.
She has not yet succeeded in winning Zhou Zhiqing's heart, and she longs to spend the rest of her life with him and live a happy and fulfilling life.
But now, all this seems to be coming to nothing.
Just then, Zhou Jianming noticed Xia Chan crying.
Looking at the tearful woman in front of him, his mood became very complicated, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart, as if he was bitten lightly by a naughty mosquito. The slight stinging was accompanied by a tingling and itching, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
This strange feeling was not completely unfamiliar to him. Thinking back carefully, it was similar to the feeling he had when he felt sorry for someone.
Yes, he realized that he was feeling sorry for Xia Chan. This feeling came so suddenly that he was surprised.
"Uncle Jiang, please ask the team leader for leave for me. I need to take Xia Zhiqing to the town clinic for medical treatment."
Zhou Jianming said anxiously, his voice revealing concern.
"Okay, okay, Zhou Zhiqing, go quickly. I hope Xia Zhiqing is alright. Hopefully, she's not poisoned. If she's really poisonous..."
The surrounding villagers echoed in agreement. Although they were busy making a living, they were all kind-hearted and had some concern for the hardworking educated youth.
Especially the educated youth like Zhou Jianming and Xia Chan, who never slacked off at work and were serious and responsible, won the favor of the villagers.
Therefore, when they encounter difficulties and need help, the villagers are naturally happy to lend a helping hand.
Zhou Jianming bent down slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and waved to Xia Chan gently, saying:
"Come on up, let me carry you."
When Xia Chan heard this, she was stunned at first, then raised her hand and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, she felt mixed emotions, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.
This time, she seemed to no longer be moved just to achieve a certain goal, but she truly felt the care and warmth from Zhou Jianming.
This feeling, like the warm sunshine in spring, quietly melted the ice in her heart.
However, a terrible thought suddenly flashed through her mind -
If she was unfortunately bitten by a poisonous snake and could not find the antidote serum, then the shadow of death would be waiting for her.
Thinking of this, Xia Chan couldn't help sobbing again, and tears burst out like a flood.
“Wuwuwu…”
Her cries echoed across the empty fields, sounding particularly desolate.
At this moment, Ye Aixia and Liu Yiyi, who were confronting and arguing with each other not far away, were attracted by the movement over there.
Ye Aixia had no hatred towards Xia Chan, but Liu Yiyi was completely different.
When she saw Zhou Jianming treating Xia Chan so considerately, she suddenly felt a raging rage in her heart.
She seemed to understand all of a sudden why Brother Jianming had become cold and distant towards her recently. It turned out that it was because this shameless Xia Chan had been pestering him!
Humph, you actually dare to set your sights on Brother Jianming. You must be tired of living!
So, Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes and came up with an idea.
She pretended to slip and fell backwards, while she was still shouting:
"Brother Jianming, I sprained my ankle! It hurts so much!"
However, what Liu Yiyi never expected was that Zhou Jianming didn't even turn his head, and didn't even stop for a moment.
He carried Xia Chan steadily on his back and walked resolutely out of the field, gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.
Only Liu Yiyi was left alone, falling to the ground in a mess, her face full of shock and anger.
Liu Yiyi felt as if her cheeks were burned by fire. The burning and stinging sensation was unbearable for her.
At this moment, she was like a ridiculous clown, exposed to everyone without any cover.
People's curious and slightly mocking gazes were like sharp blades, ruthlessly piercing her fragile heart.
Ye Aixia laughed openly, holding her stomach. Her laughter echoed in the air, sounding particularly harsh.
She smiled and gently patted her cousin's shoulder, not forgetting to tease:
"Wang Mo, look at this! This is the Liu Zhiqing you wholeheartedly defended! He's flirting with Zhou Zhiqing right in front of you. How shameless!"
After saying that, she laughed even louder, as if she wanted to exaggerate Liu Yiyi's embarrassment and distress to the extreme.
Jiang Wangmo's face was as dark as ink. His cousin's words were true.
He was clearly right next to her, so why did Liu Zhiqing call Zhou Zhiqing instead of him...
