Chapter 62 Zheng Xiu Visits
Ye Rou was woken up by stomachache in the middle of the night. When she was conscious, she touched her body and found a wet liquid on her fingertips.
She woke up in shock and sat up, her pants stained with blood. She hurried to the toilet and put on the sanitary napkin issued by the system.
After I came back and changed my pants, I didn't have the strength to pull the sheet off, so I had to pull it off and throw it aside. I struggled to lie back on the bed. My stomach was cold and painful at times, as if a hand was stirring inside.
She curled up and pressed on the uterus to try to relieve the dysmenorrhea.
Her original body's physical condition was already very poor, and in the past month, she had jumped into the water twice to save people. The cold penetrated her bones, and massaging the acupoints could not relieve the pain at all.
She wanted to get up and get the acupuncture bag, but as soon as she got up, her stomach hurt again.
Jiang Chen strode towards the west room and pushed the door open.
Ye Rou lay on the kang in a mess, her face pale and her forehead covered in cold sweat.
A faint fragrance mixed with the fishy smell of blood hit Jiang Chen's nose. His eyes swept across the bed sheet and blood-stained pants that Ye Rou had thrown aside.
He walked to Ye Rou, helped her up and tucked her back into the quilt.
Ye Rou said in a trembling voice: "Jiang Chen, my acupuncture bag."
Jiang Chen took out an acupuncture bag from his floral bag and handed it to Ye Rou.
Ye Rou's hands were shaking from the pain. She opened the acupuncture kit, found the Zhongji, Guanyuan, Sanyinjiao and other acupoints, and inserted the needles.
After doing all this, she lay exhausted on the pillow. Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her neck, which was very uncomfortable.
Jiang Chen stood aside in silence.
Her exposed skin looked more fragile than tofu, and was pierced with unsightly silver needles.
He suddenly turned around and walked out.
The pain eased slightly, and Ye Rou pulled out the silver needle. Half asleep and half awake, she was helped up. Warm water moistened her dry lips, and she greedily opened her mouth and swallowed in big gulps.
Water slid from the corners of his mouth and wet his neck, and his rough hands slid across his delicate skin to wipe off the water.
Ye Rou opened her eyes and saw Jiang Chen in the moonlight.
He sat cross-legged beside her with his upper body naked, and her expression could not be seen, which gave Ye Rou courage.
She closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks, and opened her arms towards Jiang Chen, shouting confidently yet with a hint of grievance, "I want a hug."
Jiang Chen's eyesight is much better than Ye Rou's.
She was wearing a thin tank top, her breasts were firm, her waist was slim and slender, and her skin was soft and flawless, shining like snow in the moonlight.
Her eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, revealing a fragility and pleading.
Jiang Chen was silent for a moment, then he lifted the quilt and lay down behind her, holding her slender waist and putting his hands on Ye Rou's belly.
Ye Rou turned over in the quilt and faced Jiang Chen. She snuggled into Jiang Chen's arms, her face pressed against his chest.
He was shirtless, his muscles and body thriving.
The coldness in Ye Rou's body was dispelled, and she curled her eyes in comfort: "Jiang Chen, you are so good to me."
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes to look at her and said with a mocking tone: "No matter how good I am to you, you still want to leave all the time."
Ye Rou blinked, she finally understood why Jiang Chen was angry.
She immediately said, "I won't leave, even if I can collect enough money. I will stay here forever, unless you drive me away."
Jiang Chen was silent for a long time, and finally took the initiative to hug Ye Rou, burying his face in Ye Rou's neck, and inhaling her deep fragrance: "Ye Rou, don't lie to me."
Ye Rou's voice was extremely soft and sweet: "I won't lie to you."
She buried herself completely in Jiang Chen's neck, her hair rubbing against Jiang Chen's face, making it itchy. He reached out and smoothed her long hair.
The rain, which had been held back for a long time, fell freely all night long.
The gentle drizzle dispelled the steaming heat.
——
The early morning light illuminates the earth, and the house at the foot of the mountain is still very quiet.
There were a man and a woman lying on the kang in the west room. The man was tall and strong, with firm skin and bones. He was holding an extremely beautiful woman in his arms.
She was held tightly in the man's arms, her head resting on his shoulder. Her long black hair covered her small face, and only her red lips and snow-white skin could be vaguely seen through the gap.
Ye Rou woke up. She and Jiang Chen were very close, their noses touching.
Jiang Chen leaned sideways, his messy hair hanging down over his eyebrows. The expression on his face was not as gloomy and cold as usual. He looked like a sleeping beast, somewhat harmless.
Ye Rou's ears moved slightly, as if someone was knocking on the door.
She listened carefully and found that someone was knocking on the door.
Ye Rou wanted to sit up, but Jiang Chen tightened his grip on her waist. He said lazily, "What are you doing?"
"Someone's knocking on the door." Ye Rou noticed the dark circles under his eyes, rubbed a few acupuncture points on his head, and said softly, "Go to sleep."
Her voice was soft, her hands were soft, and the fragrance from her body tightly wrapped around Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen curled the corners of his lips and fell into a deeper sleep surrounded by the sweet fragrance.
Ye Rou put on her clothes and got off the bed quietly.
She walked into the yard, pushed open the iron gate, and stood outside the door her aunt Zheng Xiu.
"Aunt." Ye Rou smiled and said, "Come in quickly."
Zheng Xiu had a bamboo basket on her thin arm, filled with large mushrooms. She smiled awkwardly, "I'm not going in. It rained last night, and there are a lot of mushrooms growing on the mountain. I'll bring you some."
Ye Rou grabbed her aunt's wrist and led her into the house.
"Aunt, come in, I have something to ask you."
Hearing Ye Rou say this, Zheng Xiu did not refuse and followed Ye Rou into the yard.
She looked at the small courtyard, which was neatly tidied, with green sprouts emerging from the vegetable plots on both sides. "What is this?"
Ye Rou was stunned by the question. Jiang Chen took care of all the vegetable plots, so she couldn't really say what was planted in each plot. She could only say in general terms, "Soybeans and cabbage."
Zheng Xiu smiled and nodded: "It's good to grow some vegetables at home."
Ye Rou led Zheng Xiu into the house. Zheng Xiu waved her hand and pointed at the mushrooms in the bamboo basket: "We need to pick these mushrooms quickly."
Two people brought a stool and sat under the eaves. They poured out the mushrooms from the bamboo basket, pinched off the roots of the mushrooms, and then rinsed the surface of the mushrooms with warm salt water to wash away the mud and loose soil.
Ye Rou picked up a mushroom casually, and a bug poked its head out. She was startled and immediately threw the mushroom away.
Zheng Xiu laughed when she saw this: "Sister is afraid of bugs too."
Ye Rou asked, "Aunt, what kind of person is my mother?"
Zheng Xiu's expression was filled with nostalgia and regret: "My sister was very beautiful and kind. She took care of me all the way when we were sold to the mountains."
Ye Rou thought of what Aunt Li said, and suddenly said: "Aunt, I am not Ye Hai's biological daughter, right?"
Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"
"A few days ago, when I went to Lijia Village for treatment, an aunt told me that you and my mother were abducted by human traffickers. She also said that my mother was pregnant at that time. I calculated and it almost coincides with my birthday."
Seeing that Ye Rou knew everything, Zheng Xiu no longer concealed it. "My sister and I were abducted by human traffickers. The leader of the gang wanted to sell us for a high price, so he took us to several villages. In the end, Ye Hai's father saw my sister's medal and paid to buy your mother and me."
Ye Rou asked, "Medal?"
Zheng Xiu nodded. "This is the medal your father gave you. He went off to fight in the war, and you kept it with you as a souvenir. Ye Hai's father is a veteran. He recognized it as a military medal, and knowing that you were a soldier's family, he paid for us."
"Where is that medal now?"
Zheng Xiu shook her head. "After my sister gave birth to you, her health grew weaker and weaker. She passed away within a month. After that, I hurriedly married and never saw the medal again."
Ye Rou remembered the medal and asked again, "Aunt, what kind of person is my father?"
Zheng Xiu smiled and said, "Your father is a soldier. Although he looks ordinary, he is very kind to you. If it weren't for the war, you and I wouldn't..."
She didn't finish her words, and her eyes were filled with a hint of melancholy.
Ye Rou fell silent.
Zheng Xiu wiped away the tears from her eyes: "Now it's okay. You've grown up and learned medical skills. You can take care of yourself. Sister doesn't have to worry anymore."
After she finished speaking, she took out a clean, but still worn handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her hands.
"I should go back and cook."
Seeing that her aunt insisted on leaving, Ye Rou did not stop her and sent her out.
"Go back." Zheng Xiu left.
Ye Rou looked at her back and realized that her aunt walked beautifully. She had an upright posture, like a professionally trained model.
She frowned slightly, turned around and saw Jiang Chen coming out, squatting in front of the pile of mushrooms with his upper body naked.
Seeing Ye Rou walking over, he raised his head and said calmly, "Your aunt treats you well."
Ye Rou smiled, but her smile lacked any warmth.
Is it really good?
When she first met her aunt, no warm memories came to her mind.
You should know that Ye Rou, who was very bad to her original body, has a very warm memory.
If her guess was correct, Zheng Xiu and her original mother were not biological sisters, they might have just met on the way to being trafficked.
Because Zheng Xiu knew nothing about Zheng Li's past, she only gave a general idea of her original father without any specific information.
She was more like a narrator, relaying Zheng Li's words.
