Chapter 230: Saving Him, Merits and Demerits Offset
When she opened her eyes again, Zhu Yunying stared at the glass bottle of saline solution dangling in front of her and was stunned for several seconds.
Where is this?
Her mind was not fully awake yet, and she could only vaguely determine that the saline bottle was hanging on the left side, so she raised her right hand and rubbed her eyes.
hiss--
The piercing pain made her gasp and also disturbed Pei Songyin who was watching over her.
"Yun Wei, how are you? Are you feeling better? Can you recognize me?"
Pei Songyin lowered his head, his brows not as sharp as before, his expression was very calm and indifferent, with the power to soothe people's hearts.
Zhu Yunying blinked and blurted out, "Mom."
"……Um."
Pei Songyin's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly concealed it, cleared her throat, and comforted him, "It's good that you woke up. You've been sleeping for several days."
"Several days? How come?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunying frowned and swallowed her saliva with some impatience. There must be a wound on her forehead, which is why it hurt so much.
"Child, how is the child?"
Zhu Yunying struggled to get up and touched her lower abdomen with her right hand, but the baby was too young and she couldn't feel anything.
She looked at Pei Songyin worriedly, with fear in her eyes.
Pei Songyin patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, everything is fine. The doctor has checked it, and the pulse is very stable."
Zhu Yunying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The scene before I fell into coma gradually came to my mind.
She was dragging Feng Shuo out of the space, but she lost her footing and fell...
"Mom, what about Feng Shuo? How is he? Which ward is he in? I want to go see him."
Zhu Yunying subconsciously thought that since Pei Songyin could save her, she would definitely see Feng Shuo, who should also be in this hospital.
But Pei Songyin frowned and said, "Feng Shuo is not here."
"Not here? How could he not be here? Has he been discharged from the hospital? But he was obviously injured so badly." Zhu Yunying muttered to herself, and when she sat up, she felt dizzy.
After a moment, she realized: "He is in the military hospital, right? Mom, I just want to know his current situation, what is going on?"
Her tone was a little excited, and Pei Songyin had to hold her shoulders to keep her calm.
"Yun Wei, calm down. Feng Shuo isn't here because we didn't find him. When we searched the mountain, we only saw you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yunwei's body stiffened, her expression was dull, and she looked like she was petrified, lifeless.
"Mom, what are you talking about... Feng Shuo was right next to me! No, I slipped and fell, and he was already on the hillside. Yes, yes, yes! There's a cave over there, and we were at the entrance..."
Zhu Yunwei's body was so heavy that she couldn't move, but her eyes were wide open, and tears blocked her vision.
She spoke with certainty, but Pei Songyin was stunned.
"Yun Yao, I personally inspected the forest near you. There's nothing in that cliff cave..."
"Impossible! I saw him! He was wounded in the shoulder. The bullet had pierced his left shoulder. His hand was swollen beyond recognition. And his eyes, his eyes..."
Zhu Yunwei's voice suddenly stopped, and she stared blankly at Pei Songyin in front of her and kept silent.
Pei Songyin's expression was filled with sadness, and there was an unnatural trembling at the corner of her lips. She was trying her best to suppress her emotions and not explode in front of him.
Zhu Yunying bit her lip and said dejectedly, "Really... no one has found him?"
"No."
Pei Songyin made the decision without hesitation.
Zhu Yunwei burst into tears.
That's impossible. I clearly saved him.
He also forcibly used his heart blood to open the space and soaked it in spiritual spring water. How could he not see anyone?
Could it be... is it my own illusion?
Is her space of no use?
Zhu Yunying stood up unsteadily, ignoring the needle stuck in the back of her hand, grabbed the pole where the saline solution was hung, and staggered out.
Her eyes were full of confusion, she was lost in deep thought, the corners of her lips were purple and black, and her face looked quite ugly.
"Yun Yao, Yun Yao..."
Pei Songyin realized something was wrong and wanted to call her, but got no response. She had no choice but to call the doctor in.
The doctor was also shocked when he saw her appearance and immediately injected a sedative.
Falling into darkness again, Zhu Yunwei seemed to have figured it out.
That’s right, how could Xiao Kongkong allow others to enter the space?
This is too much of a joke.
But where is Feng Shuo?
…
A ranger's cabin deep in the mountains.
Xiao Mu was roasting yam eggs outside the yard.
These yam eggs are not very big and not fully ripe yet, but everything in the house, including the food, has been taken away by my second uncle, so I can only go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to eat.
He picked up a lot of mushrooms and found a few pheasant eggs in the past two days, but his sister didn't let him eat them, saying that she wanted to leave them for her benefactor.
Little Mu couldn't understand why the uncle became their benefactor when they were the ones who saved him. He felt uncomfortable.
My sister said that the family house has been given to my second uncle, and they will have to go out to the forest to make a living in the future. Now they are staying here while the new forest ranger has not arrived.
This little house is really not big. When my father was here, he was the only one living here and it was very crowded.
Dad said that if he turned around, his elbow would hit his face.
But now, he, his little friend Erya, and the uncle who had been sleeping were squeezed together, making the place seem even more crowded.
In particular, Erya gave her bed to her uncle, so she and her sister had to sleep on the floor.
When he woke up in the morning, he saw ants crawling all over his body!
"Little Wood, are the yam eggs cooked? Don't eat them all by yourself. Leave some for your benefactor, okay?"
Erya was carrying a bamboo basket of mushrooms and kept smearing soot on her face, making herself covered in soot. She also did not forget to instruct Xiao Mu.
Little Mu picked up the hot yam egg, wrapped it in his clothes, and said reluctantly: "He sleeps so much every day, he's such a lazy pig, why does he still want to eat yam eggs?"
"Little Wood, sister has said this many times. He is our benefactor, and it is our duty to take care of him. Once his injuries are healed, he will leave."
Erya patiently persuaded him, and held the pen tightly with her hand in her trouser pocket.
Xiao Mu wanted to argue, but when he saw that the sun was setting, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and said "oh".
"Sister, you have to come back early. Pick up a thicker stick on the way and walk around Second Uncle."
"You little devil!"
"I am the man of the family, the pillar of the family!"
"Okay, okay, you pillar of the family! I'm leaving now, and you take care of the house."
Erya watched Xiaomu walk back into the house, and when she heard the sound of the door bolt being locked, she mustered up the courage to walk towards the black market.
She has been here for several days.
The mushrooms and medicinal herbs I picked were easy to sell, but no one was willing to bid for the pen I was holding.
A few days ago, when she returned home, she saw her second uncle tying up the little piece of wood and saying he was going to sell it to the south!
She was forced to give up her house and food and left home with the little wood.
There was nothing except a backpack.
After cleaning up the ranger's cabin, I felt for the pen in my pocket.
She stole it from the injured man in the cliff cave.
If they could sell it, they and Xiao Mu would have a way to survive.
That night, she went to the black market, but unfortunately no one could afford the price.
When she returned to the cabin in disappointment, the sky suddenly started to rain. For some unknown reason, she went to the cliff cave to shelter from the rain.
The man was still there, his clothes and wounds washed by the rain, the dirt gone, leaving only a bloodless paleness.
When you touch someone's forehead, it's scorching hot!
Erya grew up in the mountains and believed in mountain gods and monsters. She instinctively felt that she could not sell the pen because it was ill-gotten gains and was stolen.
Maybe if I save that man, the merits will offset the demerits and the pen can be sold.
So she dragged the man back to the cabin.
This is indeed the case. As the man's health gradually improved, more and more people came to inquire about the price of pens.
"Girl, this pen is in great condition. Would you like to sell it for 50 yuan?"
A man in a white shirt and black pants asked her with a grin, "I'm going to town to be a teacher! I need something to look good."
“Sell, sell, sell!”
Erya happily gave the pen away, paying for it and receiving the goods!
50 yuan!
It was much more than the 20 yuan she had imagined!
She also gave the man some mushrooms and returned to the cabin happily, carrying the basket on her back.
As soon as he got back, Xiao Mu excitedly said, "Sister, our benefactor has woken up! We can send him away now!"
