Facing his excited and expectant gaze, Lin Wanshun's throat seemed to be blocked by something. She opened and closed her mouth again and again, but finally uttered a word.
Sun Haidao was stupid, seeing her like this, how could he understand?
"Just tell me, I can handle it!"
Letting go of Lin Wanshun's arm, he spoke in a muffled voice.
He was really stupid. He himself was having such a hard time, how could his senior brother be spared?
Although she was very reluctant, Lin Wanchun still told him about her grandfather's death twenty years ago.
But to her surprise, the old man's reaction was not as intense as before.
Instead, he asked her very calmly whether her grandfather suffered before he passed away.
Lin Wanxun shook her head.
"No, everyone in our village is very grateful to him."
Hearing that he left in a dignified manner, Sun Haidao nodded with red eyes and murmured, "That's good, that's good."
It's a good thing that I didn't die under the swords of the Japanese, nor did I die at the hands of those idiots.
Lin Wanchun never thought that fate was so wonderful that she could meet her grandfather's junior fellow apprentice here.
She had wanted to help him out when they first met, but now that she knew he was so dear to her, she took care of him with all her heart.
After carefully sprinkling the powder on his right leg, Lin Wanchun picked up the bamboo boards and prepared to fix his leg.
Tang Qian was numb when she saw Lin Wanchun take out a long rope from the bag.
"How much stuff did you pack? How come you have everything?"
If she was afraid that she would get angry again, she would have wanted to open her bag and take a look.
Lin Wanchun held the bamboo board in one hand and the rope in the other, and was able to operate it well.
Hearing her voice, he hesitated for a moment, and finally called her to help.
After all, I just gave her medicine, so asking her for a favor wouldn't be too much, right?
Tang Qian, who was called upon, was not satisfied at all. She even took the bamboo board with a shrug.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll fix it firmly for you."
After hearing this, Lin Wanshun's attitude towards her finally changed a little.
With the cooperation of the two, Sun Haidao's legs were quickly fixed.
Lin Wanxun tied a knot before saying to Sun Hai, "I'll take you back first."
This time, Sun Haidao did not refuse, but he was unwilling to send her to the cowshed and only allowed her to be sent to the fork in the road.
"Get me a crutch. My left leg can still move. I can go back home without any problem."
Knowing that this was the limit of his concessions, Lin Wanchun said nothing more.
늀Go get him a sturdy walking stick.
Just as they found the crutches, Ji Hualan and the others came back.
Seeing an injured old man, everyone was shocked!
"Hualan, you're back just in time. Please help me look after Miaomiao. I'll take this old man back to the team."
Lin Wanchun did not say who he was, and the others did not think much about it, only thinking that it was an old man from a nearby brigade who fell while climbing the mountain.
"So what? I'll go with you. It'll be easier for you to carry her alone. Let them take a look at Miaomiao."
How could Ji Hualan feel at ease letting such a beautiful girl like her go to the team alone? What if someone had eyes?
Lin Wanchun didn't want her to get involved. After all, the situation was still turbulent, and it would be great if she was implicated.
"Yes, I'll be quick, don't worry."
As she said that, she was going to carry it.
But Tang Qian got there first.
"Let me do it. By the time you guys finish talking, it'll be dark!"
She was strong and quick, carrying 그늀 on her back and walking away.
Lin Wanchun was once again shocked by her actions.
When she came to her senses, she stopped Ji Hualan and refused to ask her for help, then she quickly chased after him.
"Slow down, wait for me."
The others all knew that Tang Qian was very strong, so when they saw that she had carried them away, they said nothing more.
Both Tang Qian and Lin Wanxun were used to walking on mountain roads, especially Tang Qian, who walked very fast with her child on her back, and Lin Wanxun almost couldn't catch up.
Soon, the two reached the foot of the mountain.
It's about four or five hundred meters from here to the cowshed.
Lin Wanchun was reluctant to let her carry him alone, and said, "I'll go the rest of the way. You go back first, and I'll give you half of the bamboo mat later."
Her family helped her so much, and Lin Wanchun was not the kind of person who knew what was good for her and only wanted benefits without giving anything in return.
늀 offered to give her half of the bamboo mat.
Hearing this, Tang Qian narrowed her eyes and smiled, obviously very satisfied.
"You carry me on your back, and I'm tired. If you feel bad about it, you can give me a few pieces tomorrow... Oh, two pieces of rice cakes are fine."
She was already satisfied, but because Lin Wanchun ignored her, she had the nerve to speak up.
Now that her attitude has softened, she is ready to take advantage of the situation.
"It's settled. I'll ask you for rice cakes tomorrow."
Afraid that Lin Wanchun would agree, she carried Sun Haidao on her back and walked quickly ahead.
Lin Wanchun: ...
When they reached a fork in the road, Sun Haidao refused to let the two of them send him off no matter what.
"Go back, go back, I can do it myself."
Sun Haidao waved to both of them.
After all, he is a Taoist priest, and his body is stronger than ordinary people.
After eating his fill, he regained his spirits and was able to walk with a cane.
Lin Wanchun did not leave. Instead, she took out the remaining medicine from her big bag, as well as a small bag of about seven or eight mung bean cakes, and stuffed them into his hands.
"Take this. I'll bring it to you after you finish eating. Don't refuse. Your legs are in this state. If I don't take care of it, you won't be able to face my grandfather after you die."
She had already said it, what else could Sun Haidao say?
Reaching out to take the bag, his eyes were red, and he urged, "Go back."
Lin Wanchun knew that he was worried about her, so she didn't stay long. She waved at him and left with Tang Qian.
Along the way, Tang Qian's eyes never left her bag.
"Why do you bring so much food with you when you go out?"
Most importantly…
"Are there any left?"
Lin Wanchun: ...
"No, it's all empty."
Afraid that she would not believe it, he opened his bag.
Tang Qian took a look and found that the room was empty, not to mention food, even medicine was gone.
"If I had known you had so much food, I would have asked you for one piece."
What a pity!
For her, not getting any advantage is equivalent to losing money.
What else can Lin Wanchun say?
After thinking for a while, she said, "I'll steam a pot of rice cakes for you tomorrow, but I need your help with something."
Hearing this, Tang Qian's face had a strange expression, as if she was in pain, but also as if she was alert, and she looked extremely conflicted.
"You won't ask me to do anything immoral, will you? Let me tell you, although I, Tang Qian, like to take advantage of others, I will never do anything against my conscience!"
An expression that showed she was very principled.
Lin Wanchun was both angry and amused.
"What are you thinking? What harm can I do to you?"
"Oh...Okay, tell me about it."
