Chapter 136 Cute Village Girl VS Innocent Educated Youth 22
Flash floods frequently occur in this area, and the villagers have some experience with them. After the team leaders settled the people, they quickly organized a team to begin rescue and relief efforts.
Many people also came to help from the county town and several neighboring unaffected villages.
Fortunately, the heavy rain had stopped, and since they had made some preparations beforehand, the situation was still under control and not too bad.
Looking at the list he was responsible for, Captain Fang of the educated youth settlement was worried. He had to find these people as soon as possible; he didn't want any of the educated youth to get into trouble.
Moreover, many of these people had been instructed to be taken good care of, such as Cheng Jiahe. Now that this has happened, if something really happens to them, things will become very difficult.
In the morning, Captain Fang led a group of people to the area where the educated youth lived to look for people.
Most of the day had passed, and the trapped educated youth had all been rescued. Now only Cheng Jiahe remained; they had been searching for a long time but hadn't found him.
“We’ve searched the whole area. You think he wouldn’t be home so late at night?” someone asked.
"Does he have a girlfriend? Could he have gone to see her?"
"Let's go take a look first." No one can say for sure right now, we can only try our best to find them.
Soon, they found Cheng Jiahe unconscious near Jiang Zhiyi's house.
He was lucky; he didn't die, but he was seriously injured and was rushed to the county hospital for emergency treatment.
On the other side.
Jiang Zhiyi was a little puzzled. According to Cheng Jiahe's personality, he should have come to find her by now, but she hadn't seen him all day.
Is something wrong with him?
"Tuantuan, how is the male lead? Is he alright?" Jiang Zhiyi asked Tuantuan.
"Master, the system shows the male lead is still alive, but we don't know anything else," Tuantuan replied.
"Do you know where he is now?"
Sorry, the system cannot find the information.
Helpless, Jiang Zhiyi could only try to find out information from the people at the educated youth settlement. The surroundings were chaotic, and she had to ask many people before she finally found someone who knew the situation.
“Cheng Jiahe has been taken to the county hospital. He injured his eye and broke his leg.” The man recognized her and added, “He was found near your house.”
Jiang Zhiyi then realized what had happened. She returned to the temporary settlement and told Jiang Xiangnong and the others about it.
"I'm going to the county town to check on Cheng Jiahe."
“Okay, go ahead.” Jiang Xiangnong nodded, having no objections at the moment.
Jiang Xiangnong thought to himself that the person was found near their home. The flash flood happened in the middle of the night, so Cheng Jiahe definitely didn't just happen to pass by there. He probably went around on purpose to rescue the person from their home.
True friendship is revealed in times of adversity, and Cheng Jiahe's willingness to show such kindness is truly admirable.
Jiang Zhiyi had originally planned to go there immediately, but there were many injured people urgently needing transportation, so she had to wait. She waited there for most of the day, until it was already dark, but it still wasn't her turn.
The situation was similar on the second day. Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, Jiang Zhiyi got into the car.
After arriving in the county town, she went straight to the hospital.
County hospital.
Jiang Zhiyi gently pushed open the ward door. Cheng Jiahe was lying motionless on the hospital bed. She didn't know whether he was awake or asleep.
He was pale, his eyes were covered with gauze, his face had many small cuts, and one of his legs was sticking out, with a wooden board attached to it for support.
Su Jingying and another person were sitting nearby. This was the task assigned to them by the educated youth settlement. They were all arranged to stay at the hospital to take care of the injured educated youth.
Both of them saw her.
Su Jingying got up and pulled Jiang Zhiyi outside, saying, "Cheng Zhiqing hasn't been in a good mood. He should be able to see again soon, but his leg injury is quite serious. The doctor said it might not be curable..."
"You're his girlfriend, so you should try to talk him out of it. If he's depressed, his wounds will heal very slowly."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work," Jiang Zhiyi said gratefully.
"Go inside," Su Jingying said.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhiyi enter, the other person in the ward quietly left.
Jiang Zhiyi sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the blanket up for Cheng Jiahe. It was a bit cold, and he would catch a cold if he did this.
"Don't touch me," Cheng Jiahe said coldly.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't say anything. She took off the white jade pendant he had given her earlier and put it directly into his mouth.
"Didn't you say it had a spirit? Won't it get better faster this way? I already told you I don't want this thing. You wore it to keep yourself safe, but now that you don't have it, you're suffering, aren't you?"
"You're here?!" Cheng Jiahe exclaimed in surprise. The white jade pendant was still in his mouth, and his speech was muffled, making it difficult for anyone to understand him.
Cheng Jiahe struggled to get up, wanting to hug her.
"Don't move!" Jiang Zhiyi was furious with him; it would be bad if he aggravated her leg injury.
Cheng Jiahe couldn't see, so he stretched out his hands and waved them around trying to reach her. Jiang Zhiyi had no choice but to go over to him.
"I was wondering when you would come to see me?" Cheng Jiahe finally hugged the person he had been longing for.
“I’m here now,” she said.
"Are you alright? How's everything at home?" Cheng Jiahe asked. The people at the educated youth settlement had told him that everything was fine, but he still wanted to check for himself.
"I'm fine, and they're all okay too, it's just that our house collapsed."
"It's good that everyone is alright. We can rebuild the house later," Cheng Jiahe comforted her.
Jiang Zhiyi looked at his legs, hesitating to speak.
Cheng Jiahe seemed to sense her gaze, and he remained silent.
After a while, Jiang Zhiyi said again, "Your injuries will definitely heal."
Cheng Jiahe understood what she meant; the doctor had already made it very clear to him that the situation was not good.
"Will you leave me?" Cheng Jiahe asked softly. He remembered that Jiang Zhiyi had once said that she didn't want someone who was all looks and no substance.
If he becomes lame, will she abandon him?
Jiang Zhiyi knew exactly what she should say. She squeezed his hand and said, "I won't."
"Mm," Cheng Jiahe responded.
He actually wanted to ask a few more times, but he didn't dare, afraid that she would give a different answer next time.
But if she really wanted to leave, he didn't know what to do. He didn't want to force her to marry a cripple.
"Will you stay here with me?"
Cheng Jiahe didn't want her to leave. He didn't need her to take care of him; someone else would take care of those things.
"You don't need to do anything, just stay here. I'll take care of everything else. As for your family, I'll find someone to go and help out."
“Okay.” Jiang Zhiyi did not refuse.
