Chapter 025 Chapter 25 Rescue

The sun sets in the west, and the fiery red sunset glows at the end of the sky. The members finish their day's work and rush home in groups of three or five.

Lin Yue was carrying two heavy wooden boards in one hand and a carrying pole in the other. On both ends of the carrying pole were two large baskets. Two little guys were sitting in the baskets, one in front and one behind, happily singing the nursery rhyme Lin Yue had composed: "I am a little flower, growing in the sunshine. I am not afraid of wind or rain. I want to grow up happily!" While singing, they put their hands beside their faces, pretending to bloom.

This made Liu Jianhua beside him very happy. She stretched out her hands to hug little Wanli, but he dodged her. Little Wanli frowned and said, "I am a man, I can't let others hug me!"

Liu Jianhua teased him: "Little man, who was the one crying and looking for mom to hug you yesterday?"

Xiao Wanli turned his face away and ignored everyone.

Liu Jianhua teased little Lingling again: "Lingling, good kid, come here, let me hug you!"

Lingling was still raising her two little hands and shaking her head left and right. When she heard Liu Jianhua wanted to hug her, she laughed and said, "Auntie, Lingling is a little flower that has been planted in the soil. You can't take Lingling out, otherwise Lingling won't grow up."

Liu Jianhua didn't get to hold the baby, but she didn't seem angry. Instead, she was amused by the two little ones and laughed out loud: "You two little rascals, these are not two or three-year-old babies! Come, let me kiss you!"

As he said this, he rubbed his face vigorously on Lingling's face several times, making Lingling feel dizzy all over.

Lin Yue was in no hurry to rescue the two children. He just watched the fun from the side with a smile on his face.

She didn't go home this time, and said goodbye to Liu Jianhua on the way. Before they parted, Liu Jianhua leaned next to her and whispered: "Be careful of Wang Baodong, don't pay attention to him."

Lin Yue didn't say anything, but gave her a look that showed he understood.

Lin Yue came to Aunt Zhang's house carrying her two children.

Aunt Zhang has been in good health in recent years, but her sons are afraid to let her get tired, and finally persuaded her not to go to work and just cook at home.

She had many sons, all of whom were good at housework, and her daughter-in-law was also capable, so they did not need her work points. The family also happened to be in need of a cook, so she agreed.

Lin Yue is going to the county to collect her allowance tomorrow, but her children are too young to take with her. She came here this time to ask Aunt Zhang to help look after the two children tomorrow.

Aunt Zhang was cooking. When she saw Lin Yue coming in, she picked up a rag, wiped her hands, and came out to greet him. The two little kids sitting in the basket were vying to call grandma. Aunt Zhang was happy to hear that. She responded in unison, held the kids out, and let Lin Yue go in: "Your team got off work early today. Have you not gone home yet?"

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Yes, Auntie, I just came back from work and came to your place first. I have to go to town tomorrow, so I have to trouble you to help me look after these two little guys."

Aunt Zhang pursed her lips and said unhappily, "I told you a long time ago that when you go to work during the day, you should leave the children with me and I will take care of them for you. But you refused to listen and took two children to the fields all day long. It's inconvenient for the adults and the children suffer as well!"

Aunt Zhang usually treated her as her own child, and because they didn't involve conflicts of interest, she treated her better than her daughter-in-law. Lin Yue also treated her as her real elder, and was very grateful for her kindness, and knew that she was speaking from the heart. But she couldn't really be so tactless.

She chuckled and didn't say anything.

Aunt Zhang was speechless. She glared at her and said, "Send the kids here tomorrow morning. Don't rush back when you go to town tomorrow. You finally have a day off. Go out for a walk. Let them have lunch at my place."

Seeing that Lin Yue agreed, she continued, "You have good taste. Help me go to the department store to pick out a few feet of cloth tomorrow. You wait first, I will go get the money and cloth coupons."

Lin Yue asked: "What kind of cloth do you want to buy, and for whom?"

Aunt Zhang said, "Hey, isn't this Guixiang? She's getting married, and needs to dress up. Go pick out some brightly colored fabric for her tomorrow, and I'll make her a new dress. It's been years since she's had a proper dress made for her."

As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain was pulled open from the outside. Zhang Guixiang, with a red face and head lowered, quickly walked into the inner room.

Zhang Guixiang is Aunt Zhang's only granddaughter. She is already 17 years old this year, and it is time for her to find a husband.

Aunt Zhang shouted to the inner room: "Look at this old lady, why did she come into the house without calling anyone? Guixiang, come out quickly, it's time for dinner."

There was a muffled response from inside.

Lin Yue smiled, knowing that his family was about to have dinner, so he didn't stay long. He took the money and ticket, said goodbye and went home.

As the saying goes, "A morning glow doesn't leave the house, but a sunset glow can travel a thousand miles." The wisdom of our ancestors is correct. When Lin Yue saw the fiery red sunset glow yesterday evening, she knew that today would definitely be a sunny day. But she didn't expect it to be so hot at noon today.

The weather this year is really strange. It rains a lot and the temperature is higher than in previous years. It's only April and it's almost summer.

Lin Yue had made an appointment with Auntie Fatty last time to meet in the old house in the afternoon. She had nowhere to go at noon, so she came to the quiet alley in advance and hid in the space to wait.

It was still cold when she went out in the morning. She wore too many clothes and was sweating all over. It was still early before the agreed time, so she simply took a shower.

Just after taking a shower, Lin Yue heard some noise coming from outside the space.

She looked outside and saw a man in military uniform lying on the ground. Blood was flowing all the way behind him and piling up where he lay. She didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

It is said that one should mind one's own business, but when he saw a life was lost right in front of him, Lin Yue impulsively left the space.

She did not dare to go up and turn the man over, but just asked in a low voice over and over again: "Comrade, can you hear me? What's wrong with you?"

After asking several times, the man raised his head without warning.

What kind of face is this? The right half looks like it has been rubbed repeatedly on the ground, with long and thin wounds still oozing blood. The left side of the face is more serious, with a wound running from the top of the head to under the left ear, as if it was cut with a sharp blade. It is less than a centimeter away from blinding the eye. The whole face is a bloody mess, and the skin and flesh are turned out.

The visual impact was so great that Lin Yue swallowed and unconsciously took half a step back.

The man thought she was going to leave, so he quickly stopped her: "Comrade, please don't leave yet. I'm a soldier from the HeX Military Region. I have a very important document here. Please help me hand it over to Comrade Yang Wen of the local Public Security Bureau!"

As he was about to get up, he couldn't get up because of the serious injury, so he let go of his hand and let the thing in his hand fall down. Lin Yue could see clearly that he had been holding his other arm in his hand. The forearm was almost cut off, with only half of the flesh still connected. Lin Yue could even see the white human bones inside, and the wound was still bleeding. That's how the bloodstains in the alley came from. Lin Yue had never seen such a scene before, and her legs were shaking with fear. She covered her mouth, fearing that she would scream out accidentally.

Before she could ask anything else, the man straightened up alertly. Lin Yue had a bad feeling, so he listened carefully and heard noisy running sounds coming from outside the alley.

At one end of the alley is the bustling street with a department store. At the end of the road, after turning a corner, there is a longer and narrower alley. Further ahead are dilapidated houses with crisscrossing paths. The sound that alerted the man came from there.

The man said anxiously, "Comrade, it's too late. You should leave as soon as possible. If someone sees you, you will be in danger of death!"

Lin Yue did not hesitate any longer, took out a stone from the space, walked to the man, and smashed the stone behind his ear. Seeing that the man had fainted again, she immediately collected all the bloodstains she could collect into the space, and then disappeared into the alley with the man.

Lin Yue placed the man on his bed. This was his first time, and he was afraid that he might not be able to control his strength, so he fed him a large bowl of spiritual spring water before carefully examining his body. The man had countless wounds of varying sizes, many of which were old wounds, and it was obvious that he had encountered many dangers.

Lin Yue still remembered what document the man was talking about, but after searching through his tattered military uniform, he only found a sharp saber, not even a single piece of money or bill, let alone the document he was talking about.

Influenced by the times, most young people at that time admired soldiers very much, and even regarded wearing military uniforms as a fashion. Men's military uniforms did not have shoulder straps or armbands that could prove themselves, so Lin Yue could not confirm whether this man was really a soldier as he said.

Lin Yue just felt that she couldn't just stand by and watch the man die, and didn't want to cause any trouble. She placed a stone beside the bed, confirmed again and again that the man was really unconscious, and was ready to give him some more energy at any time.

The most serious injuries to the man were his nearly broken arm and the nasty wounds on his face. Lin Yue was just an ordinary person in both of her lives and had never experienced such a bloody scene. She suppressed her fear and repeatedly cleaned the two injured areas.

Her movements were not gentle. Even though the man was still unconscious, he still frowned and groaned in pain. Lin Yue was afraid that the man would be awakened by the pain. He thought that he had the spiritual spring water and the man would not die anyway. He was about to hit him with another brick, but he found that the man's groaning suddenly disappeared and his head tilted to one side weakly.

Lin Yue was startled and quickly checked his breathing. Fortunately, he was not dead. The man must have fallen into a deep coma from the pain. Lin Yue felt relieved and moved more recklessly.
