There is no village in front of the river mouth and no shop behind it. It is pitch dark when you stretch your hand out.
Liu Tao was so anxious that tears almost came out.
"Su Niannian, don't scare me! Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Su Niannian's face turned pale, and she bit her lower lip: "I just... I just have a stomachache..."
"Then I'll carry you?!"
"?"
"You want to throw me to death?"
"Then wait a minute. I'll go to the farm and find someone to help."
After saying that, Liu Tao turned around and ran, and her figure quickly disappeared into the night.
In the silent night, the only sound that could be heard was the whimpering of the wind blowing through the treetops. In order to avoid running into the group of strong men who had just left, Su Niannian covered her stomach, and when the pain subsided a little, she simply dodged into the weeds nearby.
Just as she was about to move into the bushes, a beam of light suddenly came from the road in the distance. It was the light of a flashlight. In this day and age, only people in the army could use flashlights. Su Niannian reflexively stretched out her hand: "Comrade, can you help me?"
Gu Zhiye was walking on a country path, his eyes staring into the darkness and his ears listening to the movements around him. When the faint voice of "comrade" floated out, he immediately quickened his pace and took three or two steps to where Su Niannian was hiding.
The first thing he saw was the young wife's red eyes that seemed to have been washed by tears. She subconsciously held her breath when she was frightened, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she couldn't believe it: "Gu Zhiye, why are you here?"
Gu Zhiye didn't say anything, he just squatted down and held her shoulders: "Did you sprain your ankle? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"stomachache."
Almost at the moment when Su Niannian answered, Gu Zhiye stretched out his arms, accurately wrapped them around her waist and knees, and lifted her up horizontally.
The sudden feeling of being in the air made Su Niannian let out a low cry, then she covered her mouth. What she saw was the man's Adam's apple as he swallowed faster. His facial features were immersed in the darkness, and her expression could not be seen clearly. Only his tense muscles revealed a hint of anger.
Su Niannian felt a little guilty for some reason, and didn't dare to touch his hot chest at all. She just asked in a low voice: "You haven't answered my question yet."
The girl in his arms felt light, as if she weighed nothing.
In just one month, I lost a lot of weight for no apparent reason.
Gu Zhiye was really unhappy.
His eyes darkened, and he said simply, "Pick someone up."
Su Niannian couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, "You clearly said that we should keep this relationship secret, so why are you coming to pick me up now?! Gu Zhiye, I won't thank you. Who told you to come all the way from the northwest to pick me up? Do you miss me or..."
Before he could finish his words, a muffled laugh came from the man's chest, making Su Niannian's ears numb.
His eyes were deep and sharp, but at this moment they revealed a warm light.
His voice was as low as rolling sand: "I miss you."
There was silence all around. All they could hear were each other's heartbeats and the creaking of willow peaches in the distance. Su Niannian grabbed Gu Zhiye's arm and said in panic, "Put me down now!"
Before they knew it, the two had already left the river mouth. Perhaps because their attention was diverted, even their stomachs didn't hurt as much as before.
Su Niannian struggled to stand.
Gu Zhiyexu supported her arm.
The darkness of night concealed the slight blush on someone's cheeks.
Teacher Yang and Liu Tao approached quickly with a cart. When they saw the two, they were both startled. Teacher Yang came back to his senses first and greeted Gu Zhiye with a smile: "Captain Gu, why are you here?"
Gu Zhiye let go of his hand at the right time. "The political commissar asked me to pick up Mr. Xie. When I passed the river mouth, I happened to meet Comrade Xiao Su from your art troupe. She seemed to be feeling unwell..."
Su Niannian, who was about to climb onto the cart, said: "..."
It turns out he wasn't here to pick her up!
So embarrassing!
She had no choice but to wink at Liu Tao, who pushed the cart at a brisk pace.
He soon left the other two behind.
She wanted to go back to the house to get money and go see the doctor on the farm, but when she was changing clothes, she saw a red spot on her pants. She calculated the time and found that it was her period. Liu Tao at the door was still urging her. Su Niannian's cheeks were as red as blood. After a while, she said in a serious tone, "Taozi, you don't need to see a doctor."
"What? Don't be afraid to see a doctor!"
"Really, I just had my period."
Upon hearing this, Liu Tao rushed in immediately and just saw Su Niannian reaching for the sanitary pad in the package. She made two "tsk tsk" sounds and when Su Niannian turned her head to look at her, Liu Tao changed the subject: "Sorry! Niannian, I shouldn't have let you eat popsicles. Eating too many popsicles will cause severe pain during your period..."
Su Niannian curved her eyes.
"It's okay. I have menstrual cramps anyway. It has nothing to do with eating popsicles."
"Of course it does matter! Last time I ate a popsicle, my period stopped the next day and was disrupted for several months. Girls are delicate. How about this, I'll go to the village doctor and get you some brown sugar."
Liu Tao felt very guilty, so she opened the curtain at the door and walked out.
When I walked on the road, I happened to meet Gu Zhiye.
The other party casually mentioned why Su Niannian hadn't seen a doctor yet. This involved the privacy between girls, and Liu Tao was too embarrassed to say it out loud. But Gu Zhiye asked seriously, so she simply gave up and said, "No! She's not sick!"
"She clearly has a stomachache." Gu Zhiye frowned, wishing he could go into the house and ask his young wife himself.
Liu Tao seemed to sigh, and then looked numb: "These are just girl's problems. She doesn't need medicine, just brown sugar and hot water. Captain Gu, do you understand?"
"..."
Gu Zhiye's expression froze for a moment.
By the time he reacted, Liu Tao was no longer there.
…
The poverty of the farm once again refreshed Liu Tao's bottom line. There was no brown sugar in this place. Just as she returned dejectedly, she saw Su Niannian holding a cup of brown sugar water and drinking it happily. Seeing her shocked look, Su Niannian curved her eyes and explained with a smile: "Teacher Yang sent me brown sugar and hot water. I didn't expect that she is such a nice person."
Liu Tao very responsibly poured the hot water in the thermos for Su Niannian to soak her feet.
The next morning.
When Su Niannian went to change her menstrual belt, she unexpectedly found it was clean. Was it really like Liu Tao said, that it hurt her body?! She frowned slightly and secretly made up her mind that she would get some medicine to regulate her body after returning to the northwest.
She couldn't let her irregular menstruation get any worse, so she had just tied her belt when she heard a noisy noise coming from outside.
It was like a drop of water splashing into a frying pan, causing a huge noise!
Faintly, it was... it was Su Zhaodi's crying...
