"I'll say it again, I know him, he's one of my men." Xu Xinghe's eyes sharpened. "If you stop me again and delay his treatment, you'll face the consequences!"
Jiang Linchuan's condition is probably very bad. He is seriously injured and unconscious. Every second that is wasted increases the danger!
She didn't have time to argue with A Cui; she had to see Jiang Linchuan immediately.
Upon seeing this, the villagers in the courtyard all gathered around and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
Someone advised A-Cui.
"Ah Cui, since Miss Su says she knows him, let her go in and take a look. Saving lives is the priority."
Of course, some people also helped Ah Cui.
“This is someone Ah Cui picked up. Why should we let her in? Maybe she just wants to take advantage of us.”
As A-Cui listened to the villagers' discussions, she felt increasingly resentful, but her strength was no match for Xu Xinghe's, and the door was pushed open wider and wider by Xu Xinghe.
Looking into Xu Xinghe's eyes, she suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis for some reason.
This man might actually have something to do with her.
"I don't believe you! You must be lying to me!" Ah Cui still wouldn't let go, gritting her teeth tightly. "Unless you can tell me his name and what your relationship is!"
Xu Xinghe took a deep breath, suppressing her anxiety, and said, word by word, "If he really is the person I know, then he is my fiancé!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
Ah Cui stared wide-eyed at Xu Xinghe in disbelief, “Fiancé? How could that be…”
She simply couldn't believe that the man she had her eye on was actually this ugly woman's fiancé!
She was struck dumb, and the strength in her hands vanished instantly.
Xu Xinghe seized the opportunity, pushed open the door, and slipped inside.
Ah Cui staggered back a few steps.
Xu Xinghe ran quickly into the house and went straight to the kang (a heated brick bed).
On the kang (a heated brick bed), Jiang Linchuan lay quietly, his face as pale as paper, his lips cracked, and his wounds still bleeding. His tattered clothes were soaked with blood, making him look particularly shocking.
Xu Xinghe's heart clenched instantly, the pain making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She walked quickly to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), her hand trembling as she reached out to touch his cheek, yet afraid of hurting him.
Just then, Jiang Linchuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Those once determined eyes, now showing some weakness, suddenly brightened the moment they saw Xu Xinghe.
“Xinghe…” His voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
Xu Xinghe could no longer hold back, tears instantly streaming down her face. She choked out, "Linchuan, I'm here, I've come."
She immediately reached into her backpack and pulled out a small porcelain bottle.
It contains the spiritual spring water that she specially preserved.
Originally intended for use in case of an emergency, it has now come in handy.
She unscrewed the bottle stopper, carefully lifted Jiang Linchuan's neck, and slowly poured the spiritual spring water into his mouth.
The cool spring water slid down his dry throat, and Jiang Linchuan swallowed subconsciously. The confusion in his eyes gradually faded, and his complexion visibly regained some color.
"Drink slowly, don't choke."
After feeding him the spiritual spring water, she took out the external wound medicine she carried with her and prepared to treat his wounds.
Seeing the injuries, Xu Xinghe gritted her teeth and forced back her tears. She gently wiped away the bloodstains around the wounds with a clean, damp cloth and then applied the ointment evenly to the wounds.
The moment the ointment touched his skin, Jiang Linchuan's body trembled slightly.
It wasn't the pain, but rather the coolness that made him feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, a reaction that his muscles made automatically.
Just then, Ah Cui outside finally reacted and rushed in, only to see Xu Xinghe carefully taking care of the man she had her eye on on the kang (heated brick bed) in her own home!
They even applied the medicine affectionately!
Jealousy and anger instantly clouded her judgment.
She screamed and lunged forward recklessly, trying to shove Xu Xinghe away. "Su Xiao! Get out of here! This is the person I rescued. It's not your place to fawn over her!"
Her movements were so quick and forceful that her fingertips accidentally grazed the wound on Jiang Linchuan's chest.
Jiang Linchuan groaned, his face instantly turning pale.
"You're asking for it!" Xu Xinghe turned around abruptly, and before A Cui could get close, she slapped her hard across the face!
"Smack!"
The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the room.
Ah Cui was hit so hard that she turned her head to the side, and half of her cheek instantly became red and swollen.
She used all her strength this time.
After previous training, Xu Xinghe's hand strength is now even greater than that of many women who do farm work year-round.
"If it weren't for the fact that you saved my fiancé, I would have beaten him even harder!" Xu Xinghe's eyes were icy cold. "He's seriously injured right now. If you dare to cause any more trouble and delay his treatment, I won't hesitate to let you experience the same thing he went through!"
A-Cui was stunned by the beating. She covered her swollen cheek and looked at Xu Xinghe in disbelief, tears welling up instantly.
At this moment, Jiang Linchuan had drunk the spiritual spring water and applied some medicine, and his strength had recovered somewhat.
He struggled to sit up and grabbed Xu Xinghe's wrist. "Let's get out of here first."
There are too many people around, and he is carrying important documents, so it is not advisable for him to stay here for long.
Moreover, he didn't want Xu Xinghe to get entangled with these people for his sake anymore.
“Okay.” Xu Xinghe nodded immediately and carefully helped him down from the kang (a heated brick bed).
Jiang Linchuan's steps were still a little unsteady, and most of his weight was leaning on Xu Xinghe.
"You can't leave!" Ah Cui snapped out of her daze, crying and trying to stop them. Through her teary eyes, she looked at Jiang Linchuan, who was even more handsome after waking up than when he was unconscious. "I saved you, how can you just watch her hit me? What does this ugly woman have that I don't? Why did you choose her?"
She was unwilling to accept it. She was the one who found Jiang Linchuan first and saved him first, so how did she become this ugly man's fiancé!
This man clearly belongs to her!
Just then, the village chief's hurried footsteps came from the doorway.
He was furious when he heard that Xu Xinghe was causing trouble at his house again. He rushed into the house and immediately saw his daughter crying with her face covered.
Her face was noticeably red and swollen.
"Su Xiao! You've gone too far!" The village chief pointed at Xu Xinghe and shouted angrily, "I haven't even settled the score with you for what happened last time, and now you dare to come to my house and beat someone up? Today you must..."
"Shut up." Xu Xinghe coldly interrupted him, took out fifty yuan from her pocket, and threw it directly on the table. "This is your reward for saving my fiancé. Fifty yuan is enough to buy the best ointment and supplements, which is more than enough to repay your kindness! If you want more, I'm sorry, no."
"Also, keep an eye on your daughter. I made it very clear at the door that the injured person was my fiancé, but she still harassed him, spoke rudely, and even tried to hurt him. What's the difference between her behavior and stealing someone else's man? Is she that desperate for a man? I deserved to hit her, and that's perfectly reasonable anywhere!"
