Chapter 20 Back to the Infirmary



Shi also frowned and looked back at Xiao Yue. Did he come all the way up the mountain to find her? Is this man so kind?

When they got back to the educated youth dormitory, Zhang Bin came up to them in a hurry and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you? You sneaked up the mountain alone. You really don't know the seriousness of the situation! Lianli Mountain is full of wild beasts. Shiye, are you not afraid of death?!"

Shiye lowered his eyes and looked at his coat, apologetically saying, "Instructor Zhang, I'm really sorry, my clothes are dirty."

Zhang Bin was so angry that he rolled his eyes. At this time, Xiao Yue said, "It's okay. I'll have someone send a new cotton coat to Instructor Zhang later. Xiaoye, you're injured. I'll take you to the infirmary."

"No need, I can go by myself. No need to trouble Captain Xiao." Shi also shook his head, took off the backpack, poured out the snow sprouts inside, and looked at the ginseng and condiments at the bottom of the basket without changing his expression.

"Instructor Zhang, please record these snow sprouts as work points for me." Shi Ye curved his pale lips and said in a low voice.

The ginseng had to be sold, and only after the sale was successful could she get the "Plot Ignore Ticket". As for the snow chicken, she caught it to replenish her body, and she didn't plan to exchange it for work points. She had just left the infirmary and was about to go in again.

Zhang Bin looked at the snow sprouts on the ground, then looked at Shi Ye whose body was covered in blood, and felt a little uncomfortable.

He nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yue threw the wolf corpse in his hand to the ground. He glanced at Shi Ye and said in a gentle voice, "And this one, which Xiao Ye also hunted. I suffered a lot of injuries for this. Remember it to her."

Shi also looked at Xiao Yue in surprise. He didn't know that the wolf corpse could be exchanged for work points.

However, before she could say anything, she heard murmurings coming from all around her.

Shi also looked up and saw that the educated youth were gathered in groups of three or four and looked over here frequently. It seemed that everyone knew that she had gone into the mountains and did not come back tonight, so they did not rest late at night and just waited here to watch the fun.

"See, what did I say? Shiye and Captain Xiao have a special relationship. When they go up the mountain, they have to hunt wolves. A gray wolf can be worth 220 work points, which is equivalent to more than a month's work!"

"Haha, what ability does Shi have to hunt wolves? Isn't it Captain Xiao who helped? Look how sorry he is for him!"

"Why are you being so jealous? They have such connections, is that something we can envy? All right, go back to sleep! We still have to work tomorrow. Can you be like them, who have not worked since they came to the Border Defense Corps, and yet have earned more work points than anyone else?"

"..."

Listening to these sarcastic words, Shi also laughed out of anger.

Well, she hunted the gray wolf herself, and Xiao Yue just played the role of transportation, and in the end she was the one being taken care of and helped?

Zhang Bin also heard the chatter behind him and frowned: "Everyone go back to sleep!"

The educated youth dispersed, leaving only Lin Wan standing in the corner. She was holding a towel in her hand. She stared at Xiao Yue for a long time, then glanced at Shi Ye. She didn't come forward or say anything, and turned back to the dormitory.

Shi Ye was sharp-eyed and saw at a glance that Lin Wan lived in the same dormitory with her. She felt something was wrong and had a headache.

She hated the intrigues among women. In her previous life, she had encountered many such things in order to complete her mission. Now, she was annoyed just by looking at them. She took a deep breath, put on her backpack and said, "Instructor, I'm going to the infirmary."

After saying that, she hurriedly turned around and left the educated youth dormitory, trying to hide as long as she could.

Zhang Bin looked at the wolf corpse and snow sprouts on the ground and nodded hesitantly.

Xiao Yue stared at Shi Ye's bloodstained clothes, half-closed his eyes, and followed her out of the educated youth dormitory.

"This...what does this mean?" Zhang Bin scratched his head and frowned when he thought of Xiao Yue's expression and tone.

Shi also walked a short distance away, then stopped and looked back at Xiao Yue, impatiently asking, "Why are you following me?"

Now that the other party's true face has been exposed, there is no need for her to continue pretending.

"What am I following you for? Don't you know?" Xiao Yue rubbed his fingers, and his expression gradually became cold and fierce as he looked at Shi Ye.

Shiye frowned and was about to speak when he suddenly thought of the phone call he made today. He turned around and met Xiao Yue's cold eyes. He shuddered and took a step back carefully: "What do you want?"

Xiao Yue pursed his lips, looked at Shiye with a strange and unfamiliar look, and said lightly: "What can I do? Shiye, I really underestimated you. Being able to coax people to be loyal to you is also a kind of skill."

Shi was a little confused and looked at Xiao Yue warily. The latter took out an envelope from his coat pocket and threw it on the ground.

Xiao Yue sneered and turned away.

Shiya looked at the envelope lying on the ground and was silent for a long time. Then he bent down to pick up the envelope and opened it. Inside was a thick stack of banknotes. At a glance, there were about three hundred yuan in total. This was not a small amount of money.

She looked at Xiao Yue's back with some surprise, so, Tong Muzhen said this was the way to send money?

Shi Ye held the money in his hand and suddenly laughed out loud. Thinking of Xiao Yue's expression just now, he felt relieved.

So, the psychopath Xiao Yue cares most about Xiao Fengnian and Tong Muzhen, and obeys their every word?

Shi also touched her chin, feeling that she had found a way to check and balance Xiao Yue. She had no intention of being an enemy of the male protagonist. As long as she could coax Tong Muzhen and let her say more good things to her, the previous "misunderstanding" would always be cleared up.

In the Northwest Frontier Defense Corps, as long as Xiao Yue doesn't target her, life will definitely be better.

"Brother Xiao Yue! Thank you!" Shi Ye clasped his hands together, placed them to his lips, and shouted loudly towards Xiao Yue's receding back.

Xiao Yue didn't care at all and didn't bother to look back at her. He slowly disappeared from Shi Ye's sight.

Shi Ye originally wanted to go directly to the investigation team and give the money to Sun Guofan, but then he thought that it was already dark and he would have to wait until tomorrow even to work. Besides, the numbness in his arm disappeared and he felt a dull pain, so he had to bandage it and apply medicine as soon as possible.

When I came to the infirmary again, I was already familiar with the place.

She asked the doctor to clean her wound, apply medicine, and bandage it. After a series of procedures, she didn't want to go back to the dormitory, so she stayed in the infirmary's ward. Lying on the bed, Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but her stomach was empty and she couldn't fall asleep.

She turned her head to look at the backpack. The snow chicken inside had lost the strength to flap its wings and lay motionless.

Shiye blinked, licked his lips, stood up, picked up the backpack and quietly left the infirmary.

The infirmary is adjacent to a private plot of land. In October, green onions grow lushly in the soil, and the smell is very pungent.

After a moment, the lingering smoke of fireworks rose up, accompanied by a rich aroma of meat.

Shiye sprinkled seasonings on the skinned snow chicken. The set of seasonings rewarded by the system came in handy at this time. An overbearing aroma wafted out. Shiye took a deep breath, tore off a chicken leg and started to chew it.

After having been empty all day, his stomach was filled with hot chicken, and Shi sighed comfortably.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps, followed by the light of a flashlight: "Who's there?"
