Big Yellow broke away from the group and dashed into the tent cluster like lightning.
Lu Yuan couldn't keep up and could only run forward quickly.
"Woof woof woof!" A barking sound rang out.
Then, a woman's voice rang out.
"Big Yellow, you've finally decided to come back! Come here, let me see how you are? Ouch, this leg, you must have run into some bad guys again! Quick, let me bandage it for you!"
The voice was both strange and familiar. It took Lu Yuan a long time to finally remember the person's name.
Deng Yuanyuan, Song Heng's wife, was the one whose wedding was arranged by Lu Yuan and a few others. Moreover, she was the only nurse in the entire camp who could treat patients.
Lu Yuan walked over quickly, and sure enough, he saw Deng Yuanyuan holding Da Huang's neck and examining it.
Upon seeing Deng Yuanyuan again, Lu Yuan felt a tightness in his chest. She was an old woman who had come from Qingshui City with him back then, and seeing her again inevitably brought a sense of emotion to his heart.
"Deng Yuanyuan!"
Lu Yuan shouted at the other party.
At this shout, Deng Yuanyuan froze on the spot, then looked up in the direction of the speaker.
There was a man whose age was hard to tell, with long hair and a very long beard. He was dirty all over, but he was still very strong.
"Who are you?" Deng Yuanyuan was stunned and didn't expect Lu Yuan to be who he was.
"It's me, Lu Yuan! I'm back!"
Upon hearing that all-too-familiar name, Deng Yuanyuan immediately stood up. She quickly walked over to Lu Yuan, looked him up and down, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Yuan? Factory Director Lu? It really is you! Haha! You're not dead! That's great!"
Deng Yuanyuan is no longer the shy woman she used to be. Since being promoted by Lu Yuan to be the head of the hospital in the entire camp, her style of doing things has changed a lot, and her temperament and personality have also changed from the petite girl who never spoke loudly to a capable woman.
"Old Song! Come quick! Everyone come out! Factory Director Lu Yuan is back!"
At the shout, everyone in the tents immediately poked their heads out, and the once quiet camp was suddenly thrown into chaos.
Groups of people rushed out of the tent and immediately surrounded Lu Yuan.
"Director Lu, you're finally back! We all thought you were dead!"
"Can't you fucking talk?! Say it again right now!"
"Oh! That's great! Lu Yuan is back! Now we have someone to rely on again!"
Suddenly, the crowd became noisy, and Lu Yuan didn't know who to talk to. Everyone looked at him with such warm eyes, as if a long-lost relative had returned.
At this moment, a gap was squeezed through the crowd, and a man who was not very tall and had his head shaved squeezed in.
"Yuanyuan, what did you just say? Lu Yuan is back? Really?"
With tears in her eyes, Deng Yuanyuan pulled the man in and pointed at Lu Yuan, saying, "Old Song, this is Lu Yuan!"
When Song Heng saw Lu Yuan, he was completely stunned. He tried to say something, but his mouth trembled and he couldn't utter a single word.
Lu Yuan gently stepped forward and gave the other person a big hug: "Brother, I'm back!"
"Waaaaah, you son of a bitch, you're finally back! We all thought you'd died out there!"
Lu Yuan gently pushed the other person away and smiled: "You're not dead, you've come back alive and well!"
"Alright! Stop crowding around and go do what you were doing! Are you all not going to eat?!" Song Heng shouted at the crowd, trying to hide his expression after crying.
"Stop talking nonsense and take me to my house right now!" Lu Yuan said impatiently.
"Come on, come on! I'll take you there!"
Without hesitation, Song Heng grabbed Lu Yuan and pulled him forward.
After passing through a series of tents, the group finally arrived at a grove of dead trees.
There are several tents here, and a woman is washing clothes by the river. Occasionally, when she gets tired, she pats her back with her hands.
Song Heng gently patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "Brother, go by yourself. I'm afraid I'll embarrass myself again! I won't bother you!"
Lu Yuan nodded without speaking, afraid that if he opened his mouth, tears would fall.
Slowly walking to the riverbank, Lu Yuan softly said, "Mom! I..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Yuan couldn't continue speaking, and his legs went weak, causing him to kneel on the ground.
The woman stopped what she was doing and turned around, stunned like a puppet.
Seeing the man kneeling behind her, the woman's tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"Xiao Yuan! Xiao Yuan!"
"mom!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan rushed over and hugged his mother tightly.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was like a child hiding in his mother's arms, crying. His voice was filled with complex emotions such as apology, regret, and longing. At this moment, he was finally able to cry like a child, without caring about what others thought.
Lu's mother gently stroked Lu Yuan's beard and long hair, her lips trembling slightly.
"Son, you...you've suffered so much! Where have you been all this time?"
Just as Lu Yuan was about to say something, he heard a noise behind him.
"Son? Is it our son who's back?"
Lu's mother nodded repeatedly: "It's my son! It's my son!"
