Jiang Xia only felt waves of stomach cramps. She was originally standing, but because of the pain in her stomach, she could hardly stand. Her face was pale, and she bit her lips, calling Lu Yuanting's name.
The pain made her voice weak and trembling, like a frail kitten.
"Lu Yuanting..." Jiang Xia called out Lu Yuanting again, and with her slender white hands she gently pulled and grasped the corner of Lu Yuanting's clothes.
Lu Yuanting turned around and saw Jiang Xia's appearance. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, her originally rosy and tender lips had turned white from being bitten by herself, her hair was disheveled, and her watery eyes seemed to be filled with tears. She looked so weak and fragile that it made people feel distressed.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?!" Lu Yuanting came to Jiang Xia's side and quickly held Jiang Xia's hand. Jiang Xia lost all his strength at this moment and completely collapsed in Lu Yuanting's arms.
Lu Yuanting reached out with one hand and gently held Jiang Xia in his arms. He supported Jiang Xia with one hand and gently stroked Jiang Xia's lower abdomen with the other hand. His hand, which usually held the gun very steadily, was now a little trembling and flustered.
You couldn't tell from his expression, his eyes were dark and he seemed calm, but the movements of his hands betrayed him.
"I'll take you down the mountain." Lu Yuanting said in a deep voice, not even bothering to wait for Jiang Xia's answer.
He looked back behind him and reported the situation on the scene to Zhao Yuan.
"Zhao Yuan, you are responsible for finishing up. Take good care of the female comrade. Contact Director Zhao by radio later and report the location to him." Lu Yuanting spoke, and after he said this, he carried Jiang Xia and headed towards the downhill location.
"Okay, okay, Captain Lu, is it because Comrade Jiang hasn't eaten? I brought some food here. You can give her something to eat on the way and see if she feels better." Zhao Yuan nodded and quickly took out an oil-paper-wrapped sugar cake from his arms and gave it to Lu Yuanting.
Qin Zhen saw that Jiang Xia was not feeling well, and saw Lu Yuanting carrying Jiang Xia away. A flash of panic flashed across her face, but she did not chase after him or stop Jiang Xia. She knew that Jiang Xia was not in good condition and had to see a doctor, so she could only stand quietly by the side without saying a word.
"Don't be afraid. We are all soldiers in the army, the people's soldiers. We are not bad people. We are here to save you. You wait here for a while, and I will send you down the mountain later. Tell us your name and home address, and I will help you contact your family." Zhao Yuan looked at Qin Zhen's appearance, thought about the various situations he saw when he came to this village today, and sighed.
He carefully handed his coat to Qin Zhen.
"Put it on if you feel cold. And here is this cake. Eat it to fill your stomach when you are hungry. I'll hold it in my arms and it will still be warm." Zhao Yuan said.
Qin Zhen's face was still pale, and almost the moment Zhao Yuan reached out to take the clothes, he subconsciously shrank back. Then he overcame his fear, took the clothes in his hand, broke the candy cake, and took a small bite.
It took a long time before Qin Zhen spoke.
"Qin Zhen." Qin Zhen spoke.
"What?" Zhao Yuan didn't expect that this female comrade would be willing to talk to him. He was stunned for a moment and didn't hear clearly what Qin Zhen said, so he subconsciously asked back.
"Qin Zhen, your name." Qin Zhen spoke again, looking at Zhao Yuan seriously.
"Okay, I'll remember. My name is Zhao Yuan. Don't worry, I will find a way to contact your family for you after you get down the mountain." Zhao Yuan nodded, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Zhen was not as repulsive to him as before. He really didn't know how to get along better with female comrades.
On the other side, Lu Yuanting was holding Jiang Xia in his arms. Lu Yuanting's steps were still steady and solid as he walked in the forest. He frowned and looked at Jiang Xia, then reached out and touched Jiang Xia's forehead.
