Hearing this, Uncle Ning sighed, "This world..."
A thought popped into Xie Yuyao's mind, and she glanced guiltily at Zhao Honghui.
From that look, Zhao Honghui immediately guessed what she was thinking. His gaze turned stern, and he shook his head at her.
The black market can be profitable, but in Yu Wenbo's case, if something unexpected happens, he'll be completely finished.
However, Yu Wenbo's injuries are too severe, and he probably won't be able to do any work for a long time. We need to think of another way.
Xie Yuyao knew that getting involved in the black market was too risky, so she pursed her lips and looked away, focusing her gaze on the seriously injured Yu Wenbo. She would wait until he recovered before making any decisions.
We rushed as fast as we could and finally arrived at the commune hospital.
The on-duty doctor, upon examining the injuries, dared not take them on. "The injuries are too severe; we can't handle them here. Please send them to the county hospital as soon as possible."
Without saying a word, Zhao Honghui borrowed the hospital's phone and dialed two numbers, one to the county hospital and one to the transportation team.
Not long after, Hui Zi drove up in a minivan, and the group moved to the county town.
In the car, Zhao Honghui took out his younger sister's thick coat and covered Xie Yuyao with it, saying, "Take a nap first."
Xie Yuyao's eyes were really sore, so she secretly tugged at his hand warmer and closed her eyes to rest.
In the county hospital, a stretcher was placed in the lobby, and several medical staff stood by, having been waiting for a long time.
As soon as the van arrived, Yu Wenbo was lifted onto a trolley and rushed to the operating room.
Outside the operating room, the people who had accompanied him found chairs and sat down to wait.
Hui Zi frowned when he saw that Zhao Honghui's trouser legs were completely wet. "I'm going out for a bit."
Xie Yuyao also noticed that his clothes were wet. "I'll go ask someone at the hospital if they have any spare pants."
"I'll go!" Li Weidong stood up and left.
He knew very well that he had been able to get by so smoothly thanks to Zhao Honghui.
Therefore, even though he was a rival in love, he was genuinely grateful to him.
Soon after, he returned empty-handed.
These days, fabric is hard to buy, and most people only have two sets of clothes, with no extras to keep at the hospital.
Xie Yuyao looked out the dark window, hoping time would pass quickly. Once it was light, she could buy a pair of pants to change into.
"I'm back!"
Hui Zi strode over, carrying several bags. He first handed a bag of clothes to Zhao Honghui, telling him to get up and change quickly.
He then took out two enamel mugs and a military water bottle from the other bags, saying, "Everyone, have some hot water to warm yourselves up."
When Zhao Honghui stood up, his body swayed slightly, which Xie Yuyao noticed.
"What's wrong?" she asked worriedly. Yang Chunhua had been urging him to go home, and she had sensed something was off, but she hadn't had a chance to ask along the way.
Zhao Honghui laughed and said, "It's nothing, my legs just went numb from sitting for so long."
"I'll help you, you'll be fine after a few more steps." Hui Zi came over to help him, but he slapped her away.
Xie Yuyao saw that he calmed down and then seemed normal as he picked up the bag of clothes and walked to the empty ward.
Her eyes darted around, considering certain possibilities, and her heart clenched.
"Xie Zhiqing, have some hot water too." Chen Kai went to the water room to rinse his cup and poured her half a cup of hot water.
"Thanks!"
Xie Yuyao reached out and took it, but instead of drinking it, she walked towards the room Zhao Honghui had entered.
He's been inside for quite a while now and hasn't come out yet. Is there something wrong with his health?
Behind everyone's back, she secretly poured the spiritual spring water into the cup, turning half a cup of hot water into a cup of lukewarm water.
At this moment, Zhao Honghui was sitting in a chair, his hands tightly gripping his left knee, his forehead covered with fine sweat.
Countless chilling forces surged from the knees, coursing up and down the muscles and bones, vying to tear the nerves apart. They greedily absorbed the heat from the blood, grinning as they danced between the cells.
Knock knock knock
At the sound of knocking, Zhao Honghui quickly looked up at the door, swallowed his bitterness, and said coldly, "Wait a moment."
Outside, Xie Yuyao was restless and wished she could just open the door and go inside.
When Hui Zi saw that Zhao Honghui hadn't opened the door yet, he knew that Zhao Honghui didn't want Xie Yuyao to discover his injuries.
He strode closer to Xie Yuyao. "Xie Zhiqing, the team leader might be a little tired. Let him rest for a bit."
Hearing the sound, Xie Yuyao turned around and saw him walking over. Suddenly remembering the unusual thing about the water glass, she quickly turned around, blocking his view and diverting the half-filled glass of water away.
The door was suddenly opened, and she was so startled that she almost spilled her water glass.
"Watch out!" A pair of large, strong hands caught the cup from below.
Zhao Honghui looked up at Hui Zi, gesturing for him to turn back.
Hui Zi, however, had already noticed that Xie Yuyao was acting strangely. He glanced around and then focused his gaze on the glass of water.
A phrase involuntarily echoed in his mind: "Strike while the iron is hot."
"Thank you, educated youth. This water was specially poured for you by that male educated youth. I think you should drink it, and I'll pour another cup for the team leader."
Xie Yuyao: "......"
Seeing the serious expression on Hui Zi's face, she knew that the other party had become suspicious, so she took a sip without hesitation.
Zhao Honghui snatched the water glass with one hand, put the other arm around her shoulder, and led her into the room, then slammed the door shut.
He tilted his head back and gulped down the water in his glass, then explained with a smile, "Hui Zi's old occupational habit is acting up again, just ignore him."
Xie Yuyao shook her head and scanned herself from top to bottom. She didn't see anything unusual about her body, but the stray hairs on her forehead were already wet.
She sat down on the edge of the bed. "You left the army because of serious injuries?"
"Yes." Zhao Honghui pulled up a chair and sat down facing her.
She then asked, "What kind of aftereffects will it leave?"
Knowing he shouldn't hide it, Zhao Honghui honestly replied, "My left leg tends to ache when it's damp and cold."
"It's not serious, just keep warm and don't worry," he quickly added.
Xie Yuyao got up and lifted the blanket on the hospital bed: "Lie down!"
"I'm really fine..."
"Whether you're alright or not, you've been through so much already, get some sleep." Xie Yuyao took his hand and said firmly, "Listen to me."
Zhao Honghui was deeply moved and stopped trying to be brave.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Seeing him lie down, Xie Yuyao tucked the blanket around him. "I'll wait outside. You can sleep peacefully."
Seeing him nod, she turned and left.
Watching his beloved girl leave, Zhao Honghui had an impulse to ask her to stay and rest with him, but since neither of them was married and there were so many people watching, he had no choice but to give up.
When he got back, he urged his younger brother to find a girlfriend as soon as possible.
*
As soon as Xie Yuyao opened the door, Hui Zi, who was waiting outside, glanced at her expressionlessly, brushed past her, and pushed the door open to enter the room.
She wanted to tell him not to bother her, but she also felt that he was just worried and should come out soon.
Sure enough, Hui Zi came out shortly afterward. "I'll go tell the nurse."
I don't know what Zhao Honghui said to him, but his expression softened considerably, and there was no longer any hostility on his face.
