Chapter 52: I was so moved!
"Huo Jianguo!"
Seeing the person on the ground fainting, Su Meiqing couldn't help but yell.
She knelt on the ground and took his head and placed it on her knees.
Looking at the wounds on his face caused by landmine fragments, and thinking of the last words this so-called husband said to her before he passed out, her heart couldn't help but palpitate.
No one ever said anything about protecting her.
When she was in the orphanage, she was the big sister in the yard. She kept to herself and was called a troublemaker by other children. No one liked her.
This was the first time someone told her that they were there to protect her.
It was also the first time that someone stepped forward to protect her without hesitation when she was in danger.
Su Mei knew that even if she had not traveled through time, with Huo Jianguo's character, even if the person walking with him at the moment was the original owner, he would sacrifice himself to save her without hesitation.
But even so, Su Mei's heart couldn't help but be moved.
She seems to be capable and strong, a cool female doctor who can stand out in the field of surgery. However, no one knows that beneath her calm appearance, she has always been secretly hiding a fragile and lonely heart.
So when she first traveled through time and found out that the original owner already had a husband, her first reaction was not to divorce, but to eagerly try to take over the original owner's marriage.
It's not just because she doesn't want to go back to the countryside that's like a primeval forest.
Another reason is that deep down in her heart, she really wants to have a little home of her own.
Who doesn’t want to be loved and cared for by someone?
Looking at the unconscious man lying on her lap, Su Mei's expression was complicated for a moment.
Soon, the soldiers who heard the gunshots came running and shot the remaining wolves. A few of them were injured and escaped into the woods.
The soldiers cut a stretcher from the mountain and carried Huo Jianguo all the way back.
On the way, listening to the warriors' idle chatter, Su Mei realized that the wolves here generally would not run out of the deep mountains.
They come out, mostly because poachers appear in the deep jungle, disturbing them and changing their range of activities.
Although the border has been vigorously cracking down on poaching, there are countermeasures to every policy, and these poachers always find ways to hunt wild animals.
The economy was not yet liberalized during that era, and many people had low incomes, so some desperate poachers would appear in border areas. They would sell the stolen prey overseas or on the black market in exchange for money.
Because there may be carnivorous animals nearby, many minefields have been laid out on the road from the military compound to the military district.
These minefields ensure the safety of people passing by. If they encounter an attack by wild animals, people can enter the mine circle for refuge.
Border warriors cannot actively hunt, but these prey that intrude into human activities are considered to have walked into their trap. Many warriors even look forward to their appearance because that means having meat as a meal.
Because many traps were set up, the warriors could usually deal with small carnivores with ease.
It was only because Su Mei was fat that she couldn't run away when she encountered the wolves, which caused Huo Jianguo to get injured.
After carrying Huo Jianguo back home, Su Mei asked Li Yuan to move from Huo Jianguo's room back to his own home, and then the soldiers moved Huo Jianguo onto the operating table.
When they were in the minefield, Su Mei had already checked on Huo Jianguo's condition. His pulse was stable, so it could be determined that he was not seriously injured.
The coma was probably caused by a mild concussion caused by the aftershocks of the grenade explosion.
Huo Jianguo woke up on the way.
At this moment, Su Mei was using tweezers to remove the fragments of the mine explosion on his face. The wounds were not deep, but there were many of them, and his whole face looked a bloody mess.
There is gunpowder in the fragments of landmines, and if these wounds are not treated properly, they may leave scars in the future.
After treating the wound on his face, Su Mei removed the bandages on his hands and legs and carefully re-fixed them.
During this period, Huo Jianguo kept staring at Su Mei. Even though she had so many wounds on her body and no anesthesia was used during the treatment, he didn't say a word.
Su Mei felt extremely strange being stared at like this. She finally finished tying the wound on her leg and asked Huo Jianguo:
"Why are you looking at me all the time?"
