Chapter Forty-Eight: My Heart Aches



Song Lili glanced down at the bloodstains on her knees and had no choice but to agree.

She has difficulty walking right now, and she can't walk fast, otherwise it will hurt her wound. It's also very inconvenient for her to find someone.

We can only place our hopes on Zhang Qinghua.

However, Song Lili didn't worry for long this time. Zhang Qinghua had only been gone for a short while when Song Yongren and Song Jianshe returned.

Song Yongren was carried back by Song Jianshe, as one of his legs was immobile and he could only walk on one leg.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you?" Song Lili asked anxiously in surprise.

Song Jianshe said, "In order to distract those people, Da Xi fell off the terraced fields."

The terraced fields here are quite high, generally two or three meters high. If Song Yongren fell from there, he would definitely be in trouble.

Song Lili quickly helped Song Yongren sit down. "Uncle, besides your leg, is there anything else that's bothering you? Can you move your leg?"

Song Yongren's face was pale, and large beads of sweat were streaming down his face; even his lips were trembling.

He said with difficulty, "It just hurts, but everything else is fine."

Song Lili was hardly convinced by his words. What if the pain in other places wasn't as bad as in her legs? Would he have ignored it?

She decided to take Song Yongren to see a doctor; his leg was probably broken too.

However, Song Yongren was worried about the grain that had been left there. "Jianshe, go and check if the grain is still there."

Right now, the most important thing is food.

Song Lili knew that if they didn't find food, Song Yongren would always feel uneasy and would be worried.

Song Lili said to Song Jianshe, "Brother, you go with Uncle Weimin to take a look. I'll take Dada to town."

The village has become like this, and the doctor's house must be too. I'm afraid it's impossible for him to see Song Yongren. It would be better to go to the town.

But how do we get Song Yongren to town?

Seeing the difficulty on Song Lili's face, Zhang Qinghua, who had been taking notes the whole time, immediately said, "I'll go with you. I'll carry Uncle Yongren on my back."

"Aren't you going to visit your family?" Song Lili asked. She was very tempted, as she couldn't get Song Yongren to town on her own, not to mention that she was currently injured.

"No need to go see them, my uncle and the others are fine," Zhang Qinghua said without hesitation.

For some reason, the bandits didn't chase after the large group of people. They just circled around the village, and those who escaped were only pursued to the foot of the mountain before leaving.

This is also why Zhang Qinghua ran out to find Song Lili.

The reason he dared to come out was because he was sure his family was safe.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Song Lili didn't stand on ceremony and immediately agreed.

Song Yongren didn't want to go, and kept saying that he was fine, that he had just fallen and hurt himself, and that he would be fine after a while.

Song Lili didn't believe him at all. Sweat was pouring down her face like water, and her complexion was as white as a sheet of paper. She said, "It's nothing, just water."

Song Lili forcefully arranged everything, ordering Zhang Qinghua to carry Song Yongren away, completely ignoring what he said.

Seeing that his objections were futile, Song Yongren stopped talking. He also didn't have the energy to speak, as his legs were aching.

Zhang Qinghua carried Song Yongren all the way to the town's hospital, and Song Lili pulled Song Fang along the same route.

After examining Song Lili, the doctor told her that Song Yongren had a fracture and needed to be set and immobilized.

Without any hesitation, Song Lili immediately asked the doctor to treat her. She paid the fees, bought some ointment for the abrasion, and waited.

Song Fang remained silent, but followed closely behind Song Lili, waiting for Song Yongren. Zhang Qinghua also followed.

It was almost noon when Song Yongren was finally brought out. His fracture had been set, but he needed to rest.

Perhaps because he was given painkillers, Song Yongren's complexion wasn't as bad as before, but it wasn't much better.

Song Yongren suffered a fracture in his lower leg and can only hop on one leg. Song Yongren wanted to go home, but Song Lili disagreed and insisted that he be observed in the hospital for two days.

I'm afraid the wound might suddenly become infected, which would cause a lot of trouble.

Song Yongren couldn't persuade Song Lili otherwise, and in the end he had no choice but to compromise.

After everything was arranged, Song Lili said to Zhang Qinghua, "Thank you so much this time. I don't know what I would have done without you."

"I have nothing else to do here. Why don't you go back first? Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to walk after dark."

Song Lili wanted to treat Zhang Qinghua to a meal to thank him, but there was only one state-run restaurant in the town, and it was probably closed by now, so she had no choice but to let him go back first.

I'll thank him properly when I get home.

"Are you sure you can manage on your own? Why don't I stay here and help you? You're with Song Fang too, are you sure you can manage alone?" Zhang Qinghua asked worriedly.
