Chapter 591 Changjia Village 6
"Keep these," Ye Rou stuffed the medicine bag back into his pocket, looked up at Jiang Chen, and said seriously, "Don't get hurt."
Ye Rou's concern was sweeter than honey, but Jiang Chen was still angry at her for disregarding his own safety.
The man suppressed the slight curl of his lips and asked coldly, "Who brought you into Changjia Village?"
"Zhao Fengying used to work as a nanny in Ding Shufang's home in the military region." Ye Rou confessed honestly.
Jiang Chen frowned, "Is it credible?"
Ye Rou sat in Jiang Chen's arms, playing with the cufflinks on his clothes: "It's trustworthy for now."
There was a very light aura about Jiang Chen, a mixture of heavy wood and rain mist, and a heavy and cold aura.
Ye Rou liked the scent of Jiang Chen and snuggled into his arms in a daze.
After she became pregnant, she became extremely sleepy and would feel drowsy at her regular bedtime.
Jiang Chen noticed that she was sleepy, so he didn't ask any more questions. He tore off a piece of cloth and wiped the kang carefully. After wiping it clean, he turned over and checked the quilt.
After making sure that it was clean and there was no problem, he spread out the quilt, picked up Ye Rou and stuffed her into the quilt.
He withdrew his hand, and pressed his cool fingertips on the back of his hand. Jiang Chen pinched it with his backhand, rubbing it in his hand: "What's wrong?"
Ye Rou mentioned the location of the bright light across the back mountain, her voice stagnant: "I think someone did it on purpose."
Jiang Chen grabbed her hand and shoved it back under the quilt, then stood up and picked up the mirror. "I'll go check."
Ye Rou was relieved to leave the matter to Jiang Chen: "Okay."
"The police have surrounded Changjia Village. Chang Long can't escape. Don't take risks." Jiang Chen is not a nagging person, but he can't feel at ease when it comes to Ye Rou.
"I understand." Ye Rou pulled Jiang Chen's hand, unable to resist the sleepiness, tilted her head and fell asleep. Before falling asleep, she held Jiang Chen's hand and whispered to him, "Don't get hurt."
Jiang Chen's heart was completely soft. He sat beside the bed, waited until the woman fell asleep, and then he lifted up the loose hair on her forehead.
"Sweet dreams, dear."
The low voice was filled with endless indulgence.
The wind and rain gradually stopped. He gently pulled his hand out, and Ye Rou subconsciously grabbed it, like a clingy cat.
The man curled his lips into a smile, placed a kiss on the corner of Ye Rou's eyes, and quietly left through the window.
After leaving the village, he did not return to the grove. He left a letter to Cheng Gang and took advantage of the rainy night to quietly enter the back mountain.
——
In the early morning, Changjia Village was shrouded in a thin mist, and the fishy smell of soil mixed with the fragrance of grass hit the face.
Ye Rou didn't sleep well last night. Without Jiang Chen holding her, she always felt cold.
She walked down the creaking wooden stairs and ran into Zhao Fengying, who was carrying a bamboo basket and seemed to be going out.
"Aunt Zhao." Ye Rou called her.
Zhao Fengying shuddered, and the bamboo basket in her hand almost fell to the ground. She turned around, as if she didn't expect Ye Rou to wake up so early, "Comrade Ye, why are you up so early?"
"I'm not used to sleeping in a different place." Ye Rou glanced at the bamboo basket Zhao Fengying was carrying. "Aunt Zhao, where are you going?"
Zhao Fengying smiled and said, "I don't live at home all the time, so I don't have anything to eat. It happened to rain last night, so there must be mushrooms on the mountain. I thought I'd pick some and come back to make some soup."
Ye Rou told her not to bother and just eat the noodles.
Zhao Fengying insisted that it was okay and still went out to pick mushrooms.
Ye Rou blinked and suddenly said, "Aunt Zhao, let's go pick mushrooms together."
"No, no." Zhao Fengying waved her hands repeatedly: "It's hard to walk on the mountain after the rain. Besides, you are a guest..."
"It's okay, Aunt Zhao. I'm wearing rubber shoes." Ye Rou had already walked to Aunt Zhao's side. "Besides, it will be faster if two people go."
Zhao Fengying moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed: "Then... let's go."
The mountain path was indeed slippery, and the dew soaked their trouser legs. Zhao Fengying walked hurriedly, tripping over vines from time to time, but she didn't bother to clean them up. Ye Rou followed behind and noticed that Aunt Zhao had no interest in looking for mushrooms at all, her eyes always glancing towards the top of the mountain.
Ye Rou did not expose it, but followed Zhao Fengying closely, keeping an eye on the situation on the mountain.
After a while, someone suddenly ran up hurriedly and called Zhao Fengying.
"Aunt Zhao."
Ye Rou stopped and looked back.
It was Chang Gang, who had been guarding the village entrance yesterday. He was sturdy and strong, wearing a sweatshirt with most of the buttons unbuttoned. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his dark face was red from running. He panted and said, "Aunt Zhao, come down the mountain with me quickly."
Zhao Fengying's reaction was even stranger. Without asking what happened, she hurried to follow Chang Gang.
Ye Rou was about to catch up when her ears moved slightly and she suddenly stopped.
Seeing that she hadn't caught up, Zhao Fengying hurriedly called out to her, "Ye...Xiaorou, let's go."
Ye Rou pretended to be interested in the mushrooms on the mountain and refused to go down the mountain. "Aunt Zhao, if you have something to do, go ahead. Don't worry about me."
Zhao Fengying disagreed at first, but she couldn't persuade Ye Rou, and with Chang Gang urging her, she was in a dilemma and had to agree to let Ye Rou stay on the mountain.
"Xiao Rou, don't go to the top of the mountain. Be careful." Her words seemed to be a reminder, but in fact they contained a hidden warning.
Ye Rou understood, smiled slightly, and watched Zhao Fengying and Chang Long go down the mountain.
Unable to see the two people, she turned and walked in the direction of the sound.
——
Chang Hua often went up the mountain to pick mushrooms before dawn. She had walked the mountain road so many times that she could walk it with her eyes closed.
Unexpectedly, it rained last night and a pit was washed out in the loose soil on the mountain. Chang Hua didn't notice it and fell into it.
She fell into a big pit and hit her ankle on a sharp stone. Chang Hua hissed in pain.
Chang Hua didn't care about her aching left leg. She first pulled the small basket over and carefully checked the mushrooms inside. Only after making sure that they were not crushed did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She looked up and scanned the pit to make sure it wasn't too high. She bit the bamboo basket with her teeth and tried to climb out.
But as soon as she moved, her left leg hurt so much that she couldn't even stand up, let alone crawl out.
What bad luck...
But Changhua was unwilling to wait for others to rescue her.
What's more, she knew that no one would come to find her.
Chang Hua endured the pain and limped to the edge of the pit. She bit the bamboo basket with her teeth, clung to the exposed stones with her fingers, and tried to climb out with her arms.
Who would have thought that as soon as she took a step, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her left leg, which made her body tremble and sweat profusely.
“Hmm…”
My arms were trembling with pain, and my clothes on my back were soaked with cold sweat.
Chang Hua couldn't hold on any longer and fell down.
Her whole body was shaking with pain. Her small body, which had been malnourished for a long time, was so violently moved that her vision went dark and her head felt dizzy.
…
The sun rose and the temperature rose a little. Chang Hua held the bamboo basket and stared at the brightly colored mushrooms inside with an inexplicable expression.
A strange woman's voice interrupted Changhua's thoughts.
"Want to come up?"
Chang Hua raised her head and saw clearly in the early morning sunlight who was coming. It was the ugly woman who came into the village with Aunt Zhao.
Changhua, who grew up almost alone, is extremely wary of strangers' sudden kindness.
"No need." The little girl hugged the bamboo basket tightly, her back pressed against the other side of the pit, staring at the ugly woman vigilantly.
Seeing that she not only didn't leave, but sat down beside the pit, his eyes became more fierce: "I said, no need."
Ye Rou sat in the backlight, her face, so ugly that it would give people nightmares at the first sight, hidden in the shadows: "Don't get me wrong, if you want me to pull you out, there are conditions."
