Ye Yun buried her head deeply in Qin Zheng's arms, unable to hold back her tears any longer. Silent tears overflowed from her eyes like a dam breaking, wetting Qin Zheng's shirt.
She didn't utter a sound; only her slightly trembling shoulders spoke volumes about her emotions.
Qin Zheng was caught off guard as Ye Yun held him, crying in his arms. He, a grown man, didn't know how to comfort her. His hands froze in mid-air for a long while before he gently patted her thin shoulders, saying helplessly, "Wife, don't cry..."
Ye Yun gently punched Qin Zheng's shoulder, "You were so careless..."
"Hehe, saving my wife is the most important thing." Qin Zheng wasn't good at saying sentimental things, so he just said what was on his mind.
Ye Yun felt even more upset after hearing this.
"Can you still walk?" She bent down and gently touched Qin Zheng's leg with her fingertips.
Suddenly, her body was lifted into the air, and Qin Zheng suddenly picked her up, startling her so much that she grabbed Qin Zheng's shoulder.
Concerned about Qin Zheng's leg injury, she hurriedly said, "Put me down quickly, you can't..."
Qin Zheng stubbornly refused to let her go, chuckling, "Wife, you can't say your man is no good!"
Ye Yun blushed.
What's on this person's mind!
Ye Yun's legs were indeed a little weak at this moment, but she couldn't bear to see Qin Zheng carry her all the way while he was injured. But Qin Zheng didn't listen at all. He put her on his shoulder and carried her down the mountain with a limp.
Back home, Qin Zheng helped Ye Yun onto the kang (a heated brick bed) inside the house.
Qin Xiang'e and the others looked worried and wanted to check on Ye Yun. Qin Zheng was afraid of disturbing Ye Yun's rest, so he left Qin Xiang'e alone and asked Tian Xiaohui to go out with the aunts and grandmas to get some water.
He turned to leave, but Ye Yun grabbed his hand. "Where are you going..."
Qin Zheng glanced out the small window, patted the back of her head, and said in a steady voice, "Zheng Song is still waiting outside. I'll go out and say a few words to him."
"Remember to bandage your leg, or use the herbs outside. Just like I told you, pick a few, and I'll crush them and apply them to your leg when you get back."
"I know, honey."
Qin Zheng hugged her again before leaving.
Qin Xiang'e felt sorry for Ye Yun, who had been so frightened in the mountains. She first poured Ye Yun a cup of hot water, and then asked Ye Yun if she wanted to sleep for a while.
Ye Yun waved her hand, indicating that she wanted to wait until Qin Zheng returned before discussing the matter further.
Ye Yun also had some injuries, but she didn't care much. After Qin Xiang'e saw this, she quietly went out and told Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng asked her to invite a barefoot doctor to come and take a look at Ye Yun.
He didn't utter a sound even though his own leg was injured by the clamp.
Upon hearing that Ye Yun was injured, he immediately sent Qin Xiang'e to fetch a barefoot doctor, which amused Zheng Song.
Zheng Song said meaningfully, "I'm telling you, Qin Zheng, you've really done a lot of bad things."
He was referring to Ma Dalong's matter. Ma Dalong had a minor disagreement with him before, but unexpectedly, like Xu Tianqiang, he also implicated Ye Yun.
Zheng Song patted Qin Zheng on the shoulder, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left.
Although Qin Zheng had many enemies, Zheng Song never felt that this was Qin Zheng's problem, because there were many people who thought Qin Zheng was a good person, even more than his enemies.
Therefore, Qin Zheng's character should not be judged based on one or two individuals.
Qin Zheng watched Zheng Song leave before slowly returning to his room. Qin Xiang'e had just brought out a basin of hot water for Ye Yun, saying that Ye Yun was washing up in the room.
Qin Zheng sat in the main room for a while until he heard Ye Yun calling from inside before he went in.
Ye Yun was carrying a basin of hot water and was about to hand it to Qin Xiang'e when she suddenly noticed that it was Qin Zheng who walked in. She glanced outside and asked, "Have Zheng Song and the others already left?"
"They're gone."
Qin Zheng naturally reached out to take the basin of hot water from her and turned to leave, but Ye Yun stopped him, saying, "You don't need to, you go back and rest first."
She noticed that Qin Zheng's leg injury hadn't been bandaged, clearly indicating that he was only verbally agreeing.
Qin Zheng let her go.
Just then, Qin Xiang'e returned from Aunt Tian's house. Seeing this, she quickly stepped forward and took the basin of hot water from Ye Yun's hands, saying, "Wife, you should go back and rest. I'll take care of this."
Ye Yun didn't give it to her. "Auntie, I need to get some more hot water. Qin Zheng's leg injury still needs to be treated."
"I'll do it, I'll do it."
Knowing about Qin Zheng's leg injury, Qin Xiang'e quickly took the washbasin from Ye Yun's hands, dumped it outside the courtyard, and then quickly fetched some hot water and hurriedly brought it back inside.
Ye Yun had Qin Zheng sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) first, and then gently removed the wooden boards from his legs.
Once the wooden board was removed, Ye Yun was shocked by what she saw. Her calf, which had been caught in the clamp, was now a bloody mess, a horrifying sight.
In fact, there wasn't a single place on her hands that she could safely touch.
Ye Yun suppressed the warmth in her heart, wet a towel with hot water, and carefully cleaned away the bloodstains around her.
The touch of her slender, pale fingers on the man's blood-stained, muscular calves possessed an exquisite beauty. Qin Zheng felt slightly embarrassed. He bent down slightly and took Ye Yun's hand, whispering, "Wife, don't..."
It's so dirty, you'll only make her more dirty.
Ye Yun tilted her head back and stared intently at him, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, and forced a nonchalant smile: "Don't worry, it's nothing."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head, afraid that she would lose control of her emotions again.
The iron clamp was so hard, usually used to catch prey in the mountains, yet it clamped Qin Zheng's leg so tightly with such force.
She could hardly imagine the pain he had endured at that time.
