Chapter 037 Chapter 37 Checking the Wound

Hearing Liu Dejun say this, Zhang Shoucang secretly curled his lips.

This man was very careful about his life. He was standing so far away at that time, not daring to take a single step towards the south. Brother Far East had his back to him, so it was strange that he could see anything. He just kept bragging!

Zhang Zhiqiang also glanced at Liu Dejun, but did not expose him. He just asked, "I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing there?"

Liu Dejun smiled awkwardly and said, "I heard something was going on and my dad asked me to go check it out."

The children paid no attention to their actions and all looked in the direction of Zhang Yuandong.

The children admired heroes. Zhang Yuandong was not only a soldier, but he had just saved someone. Several children looked at Zhang Yuandong with admiration, and their eyes were almost full of stars. Zhang Wanli and Zhang Linghan were still too young to understand so much, so they followed suit and looked at their father along with the older children.

Lin Yue also looked over, and she discovered that there was a thin layer of blood mixed with rain water flowing down from Zhang Yuandong's head, leaving a large area of ​​light pink on the collar of his khaki shirt.

She knew the aqueduct, which was not too far from the reservoir. Even if the flood slowed down there, it would not be much slower. She felt that Zhang Yuandong should be thankful that he was not washed away by the flood.

She was struggling over whether to ask Zhang Yuandong to treat her wound, but the two of them were not very familiar with each other and her identity was awkward, so she opened her mouth several times but no words came out.

Aunt Su asked hurriedly, "What happened to the child? Is he okay? Why did he run so far away?"

Zhang Yuandong felt a little uncomfortable when Lin Yue looked at him, and he unconsciously raised his hand to wipe his erection. At this time, he heard someone asking questions, and quickly answered: "He was out of breath when he was just rescued. I gave him first aid, and he woke up now. When we left, he was still crying in his mother's arms."

Hearing that the child was fine, Aunt Su felt relieved. She clasped her hands together, bowed in all directions, and muttered, "May God bless me, may the Snake Goddess bless me..."

Even Wang Xiuxiang and Zhang Xiaomi followed suit and paid their respects.

Zhang Zhiqiang stood up and tugged at Aunt Su's sleeve, whispering, "What are you doing? Can you be more careful in front of so many children?"

Lin Yue took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to this place and went over to pat Zhang Yuandong on the shoulder: "Are you injured on the head? Let me go and take care of it for you."

Aunt Su was scolded by the old man and felt very embarrassed. After hearing what Lin Yue said, she realized that Zhang Yuandong's head was still bleeding slowly. She pushed her old man aside and urged Zhang Yuandong: "Yes, yes, you have to take care of it! Xiuxiang, go find the medicine at home and send it to Xiaoyue'er and the others. And the rest of you, change your clothes quickly, they are so wet, you will get a cold again!"

Lin Yue and Zhang Yuandong were pushed into the inner room by Aunt Su. She wanted to check Zhang Yuandong's wound first, but he was too tall and she couldn't see it, so she had to move a stool in for him to sit on.

Zhang Yuandong sat down obediently and let Lin Yue stand behind him and play with his hair.

The injuries he had suffered before were much more serious than this one, and he didn't even feel the pain on his head. Now he felt a burst of itching where the brush had touched him, and goose bumps appeared all over his body uncontrollably.

Lin Yue gently pushed aside his hair and carefully examined it. The wound was not serious. It was probably not caused by a bump, but rather a scratch by something sharp. Because of the continuous rain, the area around the wound had begun to become red and swollen.

Zhang Yuandong had no experience with women and felt uncomfortable. He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "When did Aunt Su become so superstitious? She didn't seem to believe in this before."

Lin Yue didn't notice the man's little movements at all. Hearing his voice was so soft, he thought he didn't want people outside to hear it, so he bent over and moved closer, whispering to him: "How dare you say that others are superstitious!" I forgot who said he was a god right from the start.

Zhang Yuandong obviously remembered the stupid question he asked last time, and his ears turned red.

The door was only half-closed. When Wang Xiuxiang pushed it open and entered, she saw the young couple huddled together and whispering affectionately. She quickly covered her eyes and said jokingly, "Oh, I came at an unfortunate time. How could I bother others when they are doing something nice?"

Lin Yue had no evil intentions and he was used to joking with her, so he turned around and scolded her with a smile, "You are such a jerk. Brother Shoutian hasn't been home for a few days and you come here to make fun of me! Be careful the next time Brother Shoutian comes back, I will stay by your side every day!"

Wang Xiuxiang was not afraid at all, she glared at her with a smile. She saw Zhang Yuandong's face flushed, even his neck was red, she thought she had come at the wrong time, she laughed and threw the medicine to Lin Yue, then turned around and left.

Lin Yue turned around and saw Zhang Yuandong's red face. She laughed without giving him face. She thought he was not used to being joked about like this, so she consoled him, "Don't pay attention to her. She is joking with you. She just wants to see you shy."

After hearing what Lin Yue said, Zhang Yuandong nodded stiffly.

The two took turns changing into clean clothes and found that Liu Dejun had not left yet and was chatting with Zhang Zhiqiang and his son.

Seeing people coming out, Liu Dejun greeted them warmly: "Yuandong, come over and drink some hot water to warm up!" He was as warm as if he was at home.

After the two of them sat down, he asked with concern, "The troops are not busy this year, right? I saw you came back twice this year. Are you here to visit your relatives?"

Zhang Yuandong paused and said, "I have received a transfer order. I will report to the county public security bureau tomorrow."

Liu Dejun asked, "So you're changing jobs? You've been a soldier for so many years, so the position you've been assigned should be pretty high, right?"

Zhang Yuandong smiled and evaded the question, saying, "I am just an ordinary police officer. I obey the arrangements of the Party and the country. I will go wherever I am needed!"

Everyone in the room was shocked. Liu Dejun's smile froze for a moment. He nodded faintly, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then said goodbye and left.

Zhang Zhiqiang was also a soldier himself, and he knew that since Zhang Yuandong had been a soldier for so many years, the job he would be assigned after retirement would generally be very considerate, and he would not be given just a small police officer position.

After the others left, he quickly grabbed Zhang Yuandong's hand and asked, "Yuandong, what do you mean? How come you just returned from the military service? Tell me, are you injured?"

Others just thought it was a pity that he had been a soldier for so many years and suddenly retired. No one really thought about his injuries.

Lin Yue knew how serious Zhang Yuandong's injury was last time. When she heard Zhang Zhiqiang say this, she was shocked. She thought, could it be that she didn't heal him last time, leaving hidden dangers?

After all, he was the person she had rescued with so much effort, and he was the biological father of the two little guys, so she couldn't help but look over worriedly.

Zhang Yuandong knew very well that if Lin Yue hadn't saved him, he might have really been forced to retire due to his injury. He didn't want everyone to worry about him, so he explained, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm not being forced to retire, I'm just seconded here this time, and I'll have to return to the army in the future."

He came back this time, saying that he was seconded by the Public Security Bureau, but in fact he was just a live bait, designed to catch certain people. This matter itself is a conspiracy, and he is not afraid of letting others know. The higher-ups will also release the news through some secret channels. Therefore, he would reveal a little bit to the few people present, also to reassure everyone.

Lin Yue was not stupid. After hearing what he said, he immediately thought of the danger he encountered last time and the document he had hidden in the wound. His heart became heavy.

Zhang Zhiqiang also realized that the matter was not simple, and warned everyone in the room not to go out and spread the news. He especially told the younger ones, repeatedly forbidding them to mention anything about Zhang Yuandong outside.

It was already noon, and everyone had been busy all morning. Wang Xiuxiang got up and went to the kitchen to make lunch. Lin Yue hurriedly followed her. She was now living in someone else's home, so she naturally had to be more diligent. She couldn't really treat herself as a guest and let others serve her.

Wang Xiuxiang didn't bother to be polite with her. The two walked side by side, discussing in low voices what they were going to prepare for lunch.

She knew that Lin Yue would eat, so she took out a small piece of bacon from the bamboo basket hanging on the ceiling, took out a handful of dried noodles, and gave her the position of cooking, and just helped beside her.

Aunt Su's family, like other families, planted a lot of vegetables in the yard. When Lin Yue saw the bacon, he asked Wang Xiuxiang to pick some vegetables from the yard, and he went to the pile of belongings he moved today to find a small can of soybean paste, and mixed it with the bacon to make a meat sauce. He boiled water in another pot and cooked a large pot of noodles. He blanched the water spinach that Wang Xiuxiang picked, scooped up the soup, and put it into a bowl to make a simple bowl of fried noodles. Unfortunately, this is not at home, and I can't add oil as I like, so the taste is a bit worse.

Everyone was tired and nervous the whole morning, but now they had a bowl of hot noodle soup, which was so comfortable that even the children ate so much that there was no soup left.

Zhang Shoucang slurped the noodles while praising her: "Sister-in-law, the noodles you made today are really chewy, and the salt inside is delicious too. You are a real master!"

Wang Xiuxiang laughed and scolded: "You are judging my cooking skills. My cooking is not this delicious. This is made by your sister-in-law. You should go to her house to eat in the future. Don't eat the food I cook!"

Zhang Shoucang begged for mercy again and again: "Sister-in-law, I don't dare to do it anymore. What you cook is also delicious, and what my sister-in-law cooks is even more delicious. They are all good, all good!"

After dinner, Aunt Su arranged for everyone to rest.

In addition to the main door, Aunt Su's house had four other rooms. The old couple slept in the main room on the east side with their young son. There was another room on the east side, which was divided into two rooms, the back room for Zhang Xiaomi and the front room for the stove. Zhang Shoutian and Wang Xiuxiang lived in one of the two rooms on the west side of the main door with their two children, and Zhang Shoucang lived alone in another.

Originally, Aunt Su had arranged for Lin Yue to sleep in the same room with Wang Xiuxiang and the two younger children, and for Zhang Shoucang to sleep with them. Now that Zhang Yuandong had returned, she wanted Wang Xiuxiang to live in Zhang Xiaomi's room, and for Zhang Yuandong and his family to live in the eldest son's room.

Lin Yue felt that it was too much trouble for the family. Having their whole family living here had already caused them a lot of trouble, and now they had to vacate a room specifically for them to live in. It was totally unacceptable.

Wang Xiuxiang also said: "Mom, my room has a big kang, let Lin Yue bring the child to sleep with me! Several children are willing to sleep together. Let Yuandong and Shoucang squeeze into one room!"

After hearing what Wang Xiuxiang said, Zhang Xianli and Zhang Xianle became happy and said excitedly, "Grandma, can we let our brother and sister sleep with us?"

Aunt Su thought about it and decided that the kang in her eldest son's room was big enough for seven or eight people to sleep on horizontally, so she agreed.

After arranging the accommodation, everyone was tired and soon went back to their rooms to sleep.
