Chapter 234: Have you suffered any injustice?
Yin Xinyi didn't tell anyone that she was leaving, and she even left without telling Qi Yanyu and the others.
After all, which educated youth would not be jealous when seeing such a thing?
It was a long way from the countryside to the city, but Lin Mengyao was a good person and helped her find a bullock cart to go to the city for business and gave her a ride along the way.
When she arrived in the city, she changed buses and took trains, which took more than ten hours.
The money she had on her was already used for the bus fare. She hadn't eaten all day, but her brother's place was still more than ten miles away.
It was getting dark, and she was cold and hungry. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a hospital bed.
"You're awake."
A pleasant female voice was heard. Yin Xinyi looked over and saw a female military doctor in a white coat.
Yin Xinyi wanted to speak, but her voice was so hoarse that no one could hear what she was saying.
Tong Yao patted the blanket on her body to comfort her. "Your fever has caused your throat to become inflamed. I'll get you some medicine later. Drink some hot water and you should feel better."
Yin Xinyi's eyelashes trembled, and she urgently wanted to know where she was.
Tong Yao seemed to be able to see through her thoughts and explained, "Don't be afraid. It's safe here. A comrade from our kitchen team saw you fainted on the way when they went out to buy groceries, so they brought you back."
When Yin Xinyi heard that this was a military unit, she became very excited. She forced herself to sit up and looked around the room to see if her backpack was there.
Tong Yao was about to stop her when a gentle male voice came from outside the door, "Sister Tong, has that female comrade woken up?"
Tian Xiaobo, dressed in military uniform, lifted the door curtain and walked in, just in time to meet Yin Xinyi's eyes that were filled with anxiety and worry.
Tong Yao said quickly: "Hurry up and pull her back. I just said a few words and she got so excited."
Tian Xiaobo walked over and hesitantly grabbed Yin Xinyi's arm, "Comrade, are you looking for your backpack?"
He brought the person back to the army halfway. Because she was unconscious and had a high fever, she was sent to the infirmary. However, because her origin was unknown, he conducted a routine check of the contents of her bag.
Upon hearing this, Yin Xinyi calmed down as expected. The bag contained not only her ticket back home, but also some books she cherished and the relics left to her by her mother.
Realizing that his hand was being held, Tian Xiaobo slowly broke free and covered her with the quilt. "Someone will bring it over later. Don't worry, it's not lost."
Yin Xinyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tong Yao urged: "Hurry up and lie down!"
Tian Xiaobo turned around and asked Tong Yao, "Is there anything wrong with her health?"
"She still has a slight fever now, but it's okay. She probably hasn't eaten for a long time. Go get her some porridge." Tong Yao instructed, "Bring her backpack over when the time comes."
"good."
Tian Xiaobo nodded, agreed and went out.
Tong Yao brought medicine and water to Yin Xinyi, "Take the medicine first and drink some water."
Yin Xinyi took it obediently, and after a while her throat started to feel better. "Doctor Tong...Excuse me, do you know Hu...Yin Xinjun?"
"Yin Xinjun? The new as in old? The soldier as in soldier?" Tong Yao asked.
Yin Xinyi's pupils suddenly shrank and she nodded frantically, "Yes! Can... can you take me to see him?"
Tong Yao then looked at her again and asked tentatively, "What is your relationship with him?"
Yin Xinyi replied without hesitation: "He is my brother."
"You are Xinyi's sister!" Tong Yao was surprised. She thought this was some lover of Yin Xinjun from his hometown!
This time it was Yin Xinyi's turn to be surprised, "You...you know me?"
"Not only do I know you, I've even seen your childhood photos! But girls really change a lot when they grow up. When you were little, you were like a tomboy. Your brother treasured you so much that he would brag to everyone that he had a sister who was very good at studying."
When Tong Yao finished saying these words, Yin Xinyi couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
She never thought that in her brother's eyes, she was worthy of his boasting and pride.
"Oh! Why are you crying?" Tong Yao quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her tears. "Your brother was sent out a few days ago. He may be back in the next few days. I will ask him to come and see you then. You came all the way to see your brother. Is there something wrong at home?"
Yin Xinyi shook her head gently. She just hadn't seen her brother for a long time.
Thinking that she is old, the chance of returning to the city is very small.
She would probably be trapped in that backward and remote corner of the mountains in Ankang Village for the rest of her life.
But my brother is different.
He is a soldier and has a bright future. He cannot always be dragged down by his uncle's family. He should have his own life, his own future and his own family.
Yin Xinyi came all the way to meet her brother and advise him in person to draw a clear line between himself and his uncle's family.
This may be the last time I see you in this life.
Seeing her crying so sadly, Tong Yao was also infected and her eyes turned red. "Sister, don't cry. You can tell me anything."
She guessed: "Have you been wronged?"
Yin Xinyi pursed her lips. Where could she begin to express all the grievances in her heart?
In the village, she remained indifferent to many people and many things and was used to being alone. Many educated youth cried because they missed home, but she never shed a tear.
But at this moment, listening to Dr. Tong's gentle and soft voice, she inexplicably felt her nose sore and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Yin Xinyi burst into tears. Tong Yao waited until she had finished venting and then hugged her gently.
I didn't continue to ask her why she was sad. Perhaps the answer could only be found when Yin Xinjun came back.
When Tian Xiaobo brought in the meal, Yin Xinyi's emotions had stabilized. She lay on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"Please help me take care of her. I just received an emergency call and need to go out for a while." Tong Yao urged: "Sister Xinyi, you can rest here and recover. This is Comrade Tian from the kitchen team. He is the one who saved you. I will be back soon."
Yin Xinyi nodded meekly, "Okay, thank you, Doctor Tong."
Tian Xiaobo did not refuse. He opened the aluminum lunch box and sat on the edge of the bed. There was not only porridge but also steamed eggs.
The steamed egg is topped with a layer of minced meat, which smells particularly fragrant.
Yin Xinyi hadn't eaten for almost two days, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva just by smelling the fragrance.
"Can you help yourself?"
Tian Xiaobo handed her the chopsticks, and he didn't intend to feed her.
Yin Xinyi took it with both hands, bowed her head and said thank you, "I... I can do it myself, thank you."
