Chapter 116 Xie Jianshe, I won't let you die!
Zhou Weiren was too late...
The cleaver was about to strike Zhou Ye's chest, and Zhou Weiren felt his head buzz.
The moment Zhou Ye turned around, he instinctively tried to hide in the space, but everything went black before his eyes, and a figure hugged him, quickly pulling away!
With a muffled groan, the cleaver didn't hurt Zhou Ye, but...
Xie Jianshe stood firmly in front of Zhou Ye, but she had no idea when he had arrived.
then……
"Hide well!"
With a cautious command, Xie Jianshe rushed out and engaged in a fierce fight with the thugs!
Zhou Ye had never felt so sad before!
It's him again! Every time I'm in danger, it's always him who saves me.
Before her eyes, a bright red galaxy seemed to float by... Xie Jianshe was very skilled, and he subdued the thug in almost no time!
Zhou Weiren threw the rope that bound him over, and Xie Jianshe quickly tied his hands behind his back.
Zhou rushed forward, but the flashlight had been knocked to the ground, and the light shone directly on Xie Jianshe's back.
His clothes were almost soaked in blood. Xie Jianshe looked at Zhou Ye, who was unharmed, and suddenly felt weak all over, his legs went weak, and he felt dizzy...
Everything before my eyes was gray, and I was sweating profusely on my forehead and back...
He couldn't feel any pain, and he couldn't tell whether the sweat on his back was sweat or blood.
He turned to look at Zhou Ye, wanting to say that he was fine, but his body moved involuntarily and he sat down...
Then slowly lie down.
He was no longer the spirited young man he once was. His weak body lay there, and if it weren't for his rising and falling chest, one would have thought he was no longer breathing.
Zhou disregarded everything else and lunged forward.
"Xie Jianshe? How are you? Can you speak?"
Zhou Ye's voice was choked with sobs, and contained a concern and fear that she herself was unaware of.
Her response was rapid breathing and a face so pale it was almost bloodless.
"Ugh..." Zhou Ye suppressed his inner fear.
He took out the water bottle and eagerly fed it to Xie Jianshe.
"Xie Jianshe, drink water! This is life-saving water, please drink it..."
Xie Jianshe completely fainted. His lips moved slightly, as if he was still somewhat conscious, but his eyes remained tightly closed...
Zhou was terrified...
Xie Jianshe cannot die!
Fresh blood slowly spread from the ground...
This shows how serious Xie Jianshe's injury was.
Zhou Weiren stepped forward to check, then slumped to the ground, saying sadly, "Xiao Ye, his pupils are dilated!"
what does that mean?
Xie Jianshe is going to die? He's going to die trying to save himself?
No, no! Absolutely not!
Zhou Ye grabbed Xie Jianshe's head and desperately poured water into his mouth: "Xie Jianshe, drink it!"
Please, this can save your life! You can't die...
You can't die!
However, the effect was minimal.
Seeing his breathing growing weaker and weaker, Zhou Ye disregarded everything else and quickly drank a mouthful of spiritual spring water, feeding it to him...
Zhou Weiren was stunned. He wanted to stop them, but it was too late!
"Xiao Ye...no..."
He drank mouthful after mouthful, and although some water still spilled out, he swallowed most of it.
There's hope!
Every sip I drank was from a sacred spring.
Xie Jianshe will at least not die!
With Xie Jianshe out of immediate danger, Zhou immediately took his pulse and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the wound was too big!
Fortunately, Xie Jianshe was in excellent physical condition; otherwise, he would probably have died long ago!
The spring water can save those who are still breathing, but it cannot save the dead!
"Grandpa, we need to carry Xie Jianshe back!"
Zhou Weiren: "I'll do it!"
“Grandpa, you haven’t eaten for several days and you are very weak. The mountain road is difficult to walk, so you need to go down the mountain to inform the village chief and ask him to find someone to come.”
Ideally, there should be a stretcher!
Zhou Weiren thought it made sense, and disregarding his own health, he jogged away...
Only Zhou Ye and Xie Jianshe remained in the cave. Remembering his grandfather's words, he suddenly felt he could understand his grandfather's feelings as an elder.
A responsible man who will always be by your side, a man who can protect you and take care of you.
As elders, of course they are the most at ease.
Grandpa has been discovered. Kidnappings like this will happen again sooner or later. What Grandpa fears will still happen.
The Xie family are native to Hongqi Village, with deep roots! Even if they are farmers, they are poor farmers!
If I become Xie's daughter-in-law, the threat I pose to those people in Beijing will be greatly reduced.
As for things, there will be plenty of opportunities!
However, such blatant kidnapping requires careful consideration!
but……
She didn't like Xie Jianshe, even though he was a good person!
Zhou also used silver needles to prick several acupoints to help Xie Jianshe stop the bleeding, then took some medicinal powder from his space and sprinkled it on Xie Jianshe, and finally took out a clean cloth strip to bandage it.
After finishing everything, Zhou was exhausted and covered in sweat.
But Xie Jianshe still didn't open his eyes!
The thug used all his strength; the machete was so sharp, he must have been badly injured!
"Cough cough..."
A soft cough interrupted Zhou Ye's thoughts.
She instinctively moved closer to Xie Jianshe and found that he was not really awake; his lips were just slightly twitching.
He seems very uneasy!
He whispered in her ear, "Xie Jianshe, don't be afraid, someone will be here soon. We'll go down the mountain, and I'll treat you!"
Don't worry, I won't let you die!
If you're tired, why don't you take a rest?
“Zhou Ye…”
A soft call...
"I'm here! Xie Jianshe, I'm here!"
Zhou Ye's voice successfully eased Xie Jianshe's furrowed brows.
His hand twitched slightly, and Zhou immediately grabbed it; it was icy cold, as if it had lost its body temperature.
This feeling made Zhou very uncomfortable.
She sniffed, not expecting that such a small gesture would alarm Xie Jianshe.
"No……"
"What?"
"Don't cry!"
Zhou Ye, who had been holding back her tears, could no longer hold them back!
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
Tears fell to the ground, making a soft sound. Xie Jianshe tightened his grip slightly, and whispered a few words: "Don't...don't worry, don't cry..."
Zhou Ye's tears flowed even more fiercely!
How could she be at ease? Even at this point, she's still telling herself not to cry! Xie Jianshe, you're a man! Don't you have any dignity?
Can't you feel that I don't like you?
Why, why must you risk your life to protect me no matter what? The flood, and now it's happening again!
What do you want me to do to stop caring about me?
"Da da da..."
It was the sound of a group of people's footsteps, hurried and rushed!
"here!"
Zhou also called out, and a moment later, the village chief Xie Youfu came in with several of his nephews and a stretcher.
"Construction..."
Xie Youfu and the others shone their flashlights and saw their son lying lifeless on the ground, with a pool of blood on the ground. They were completely devastated...
"Jianshe, are you alright? Where are you bleeding? Oh? My child... how are your mother and I supposed to live now!"
Xie Youfu burst into tears.
"Uncle, stop crying, let's get him down the mountain quickly!"
"That's right, Uncle, hurry down the mountain for treatment!"
"Yes...yes, that's right! Let's go, hurry down the mountain!" Xie Youfu finally came to his senses, temporarily snapping himself out of his grief, and together with everyone else, he slowly lifted his son onto the stretcher.
But……
Here comes the problem!
Even while Xie Jianshe was unconscious, he still refused to let go of Zhou Ye's hand. Seeing this, Zhou Ye tried to break free, but didn't dare to use too much force!
In the end, they still couldn't break free!
Xie Youfu looked at Zhou Ye with a troubled expression. Now everyone in the village was watching him find someone to go up the mountain. If they were to go down the mountain hand in hand like this, it could cause quite a stir.
But my son's condition can't wait!
Fine, I'll just be selfish then.
Xie Youfu looked at Zhou Ye and pleaded, "Zhou Zhiqing, could you please not struggle too hard?"
He was still injured during construction, and I was afraid of hurting him!
I……
I'm sorry to have put you in this difficult position!
Zhou Ye quickly shook his head: "No, no... please don't do this! Just leave like this. No matter what, rumors are not as important as human life!"
Seeing that Zhou also agreed, Xie Youfu breathed a sigh of relief.
He had originally thought that if Zhou Zhiqing was unwilling, he would have to kneel down and beg her to agree.
A group of people, carrying a stretcher, steadily descended the mountain...
Sure enough, there were many people along the way, all of whom were concerned about Xie Jianshe's injuries. Heaven knows, they were all shocked when they first heard the news!
Xie Jianshe is a retired soldier, so his skills are naturally excellent. For him to get injured, something serious must have happened!
But the shock didn't end there!
When they saw Xie Jianshe lying down and Zhou Ye standing with their hands clasped together, everyone sighed.
Even now, you said it was okay.
"Look, aren't they holding hands? Tsk tsk... and you still say it's nothing. You say we're spreading rumors."
"It's okay if we hold hands?" a woman said with a smile.
"Pah, stop making sarcastic remarks. Didn't you see they were injured? And you're gloating over their misfortune. Look how much blood Jianshe lost, sigh..." The old woman couldn't stand it anymore and glared at him.
The woman didn't dare to speak anymore and put away her playful expression.
Most of them are kind-hearted, and they were all worried when they saw Xie Jianshe's appearance.
Everyone followed the group to the village chief's house.
"Village chief, what should we do? Should we take him to the hospital?"
Village chief Xie Youfu looked at Zhou Ye.
Zhou knew that they were waiting for his opinion.
Normally, for such an injury, going to the hospital would be the best option, but since I am also a doctor, with the blessing of the spiritual spring water, it would be even better than going to the hospital!
"Village chief, although there's been a lot of bleeding, I've already stopped it with acupuncture! I'll go gather some herbs later, and after drinking them for a while, I'll gradually get better!"
Xie Youfu believes in Zhou Ye!
"Okay, then I'll do as you say!"
Aunt Guihua cried so hard she almost fainted!
"Construction, my child, damn it, who did this, my construction..."
Xie Youfu grabbed Aunt Guihua and stopped her from crying!
He urged everyone to leave, saying, "Alright, thanks everyone for your help! I'll treat you all to drinks another day when my house is a bit better built!"
"Alright, we're all from the same village, so let's talk if you need anything, village chief!"
"That's right, isn't Jianshe (the company) our own child?"
"Yes, yes, village chief, don't be so polite, please take care of Jianshe first!"
"Let's take care of Jianshe-ge first!"
Village chief Xie Youfu was very grateful...
Zhou Ye hadn't said much. Xie Jianshe was lifted onto the bed and made to lie face down. She followed him into the room.
With the lighting improved, Zhou, for the sake of easier treatment, directly asked Aunt Guihua for a pair of scissors and cut open Xie Jianshe's clothes.
Aunt Guihua had just brought in hot water when she saw this scene.
"Oh dear, isn't it inappropriate to be completely naked?"
If I said it out loud, I would feel that I was wrong. Zhou Zhiqing was a doctor, so wasn't it normal for him to take off the patient's clothes?
Bah, what kind of talk is that?
Although I was very worried about my son, I felt that with Zhou Zhiqing around, things should be fine, and I felt a little more relaxed.
"Zhou, how's the construction going?"
Aunt Guihua didn't ask how she got injured; she only learned from her husband that she had been stabbed.
Everything will be told to me when my son wakes up.
The most important thing now is for my son to get better!
Nothing else matters!
After returning, Xie Jianshe seemed to feel that the surrounding environment was safer, and slowly let go of Zhou Ye's hand.
After Zhou Ye covered Xie Jianshe with the thin blanket, he slowly said, "His external injuries are quite serious, and he needs to have his dressings changed every day!"
Auntie, don't worry. Xie Jianshe was injured while protecting me, and I will definitely take full responsibility!
I'll come every day from now on, but I'm sorry to trouble you, Auntie!
"It's no trouble at all. It's a blessing for this kid that you come to change his dressings every day!" Upon hearing that he was injured while protecting Zhou Ye, Wang Guihua suddenly felt that this kid had finally come to his senses.
This injury was worth it!
If this can bring me a daughter-in-law, it would be absolutely worth it! Men, how can they not get hurt?
Zhou felt very guilty and stepped forward to apologize, saying, "I'm sorry, Auntie, it's my fault!"
I will take good care of Xie Jianshe.
However… I might need to go into the mountains to gather herbs, so I'll have to trouble you quite a bit!
"Oh, don't say that! I'm just a stay-at-home mom who cooks and cleans. That boy is my son, who could take better care of him than me!"
She then took Zhou Ye's hand and patted it tenderly, saying, "Child, don't worry, your aunt doesn't blame you!"
That kid got hurt protecting you; it's his good fortune, and it's what he should have done!
Aunt Guihua: My son is protecting his future wife. How glorious!
When the two children grow up, this will be a wonderful memory to look back on.
Zhou looked at Aunt Guihua with gratitude. As expected of a veteran's family member, her awareness was different. Even after retiring from the military, she still wanted to protect the people!
No wonder Xie Jianshe has such a positive outlook on life; it's all thanks to Aunt Guihua's excellent upbringing!
"Thank you, Auntie, you're so kind!"
"Not at all, things will get even better in the future!"
Aunt Guihua thought that if Zhou Zhiqing and her son got married and moved in together, she would have to take good care of him.
A young girl from the city, unfamiliar with the place and knowing medicine, is simply a treasure!
However, Aunt Guihua looked at her son, then at herself, and wondered again: Could he really be interested in her?
Rumors are rumors... but I want the facts!
The two of them talked at cross purposes for a long time, then Aunt Guihua put down the hot water and went to cook!
It was almost noon. The two of them had been injured on the mountain and hadn't eaten anything. Even if the son didn't eat, Zhou Zhiqing still needed to eat.
"how's it going?"
Xie Youfu asked anxiously.
Zhou Zhiqing was inside, so Xie Youfu couldn't easily go in.
Aunt Guihua's worry disappeared, replaced by a happy smile, as if she were about to have a joyous occasion.
“From what I can see, although there’s a lot of bleeding, it’s not a big problem! Zhou Zhiqing can treat it; when I went in just now…”
As she spoke, she glanced out the window, pulled Xie Youfu aside, and whispered, "Take off all your clothes!"
"What?"
Xie Youfu was shocked. He slapped his thigh and looked at his wife with disappointment: "How could you do such a thing? Not to mention that our son is still unconscious."
Zhou, the educated youth, was a young girl!
Even if you like someone a lot, you can't do this kind of thing.
How could you have wronged someone like that? I'm still the village chief...
I...I...I'm so angry!
Aunt Guihua was stunned at first, then looked at Xie Youfu speechlessly: "You old fool, what are you thinking?"
You're so stupid!
I hadn't finished speaking yet. The clothes were taken off, but they were there to disinfect and bandage your son's wounds!
What nonsense are you spouting!
Xie Youfu paused for a moment, then his mouth moved...
Okay, I misunderstood!
"Ahem..." He coughed awkwardly to cover up his nervousness.
"Then...then I'll go ask Zhou Zhiqing what other medicine he needs, and I'll go to the county to buy it!"
Aunt Guihua shook her head helplessly!
Zhou Ye fed Xie Jianshe some more water. Looking at his sleeping face, he got up and walked to the door when he saw Xie Youfu rushing over.
"Uncle Village Chief..."
"Zhou Zhiqing, it's nothing. I just came to ask if you need any medicine."
Zhou also asked Xie Youfu to find paper and pen and wrote down some necessary medicines and consumables: "Uncle Village Chief, these are disinfectant and sterilization medicines and gauze and other consumables needed for external injuries!"
You should go to the hospital to buy it first!
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Zhou Ye called out to Xie Youfu, "Uncle Village Chief, wait a moment!"
As he spoke, he took out twenty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xie Youfu, saying sincerely, "Uncle, Xie Jianshe did this to save me, so..."
I should pay for this!
Xie Youfu took a few steps back, waving his hands impatiently, unwilling to accept it: "You silly girl, what are you saying!"
Xie Jianshe is a soldier, and protecting the people is what he should do.
You encountered thugs, and he was injured protecting you—that's a heroic act! Now they need you to come and collect the money!
Zhou Ye wanted to say something more...
He was directly rejected by Xie Youfu and left quickly!
Zhou sighed inwardly, thinking that in his previous life he had only encountered demons and monsters... there was hardly a good person among them.
A fool who's nice to you later on...sigh...
Never mind, I wonder how that idiot is doing now.
However, this is not something I should worry about.
I ate lunch with the village chief, who had gone to the county town and hadn't returned yet. Only Aunt Guihua and I ate together.
The atmosphere was extremely harmonious!
"Can I call you Xiao Ye, Auntie? You keep calling us 'Zhou Zhiqing' all the time, it's making us feel distant!"
"Okay, Auntie!"
"Hey, I knew it! Xiao Ye is such a well-mannered child! From now on, Auntie will call you Xiao Ye!"
hehe……
"Little Ye, this is what family is all about!"
After chuckling, Aunt Guihua picked up a clean pair of chopsticks and placed a large spoonful of egg on Zhou Ye's plate.
"Xiao Ye, it must have been tough on you, kid. I know you're only fifteen, right? Sigh..."
He came to the countryside alone at a very young age.
Eat more eggs, look how thin you are! You must not be able to eat good food. From now on, eat at my house, and I'll help you get better!
Wang Guihua liked Zhou Ye more and more the more she looked at him!
How did this child grow up? The eyes are eyes, the nose is a nose…
But Zhou was unaware of all this; she needed to finish eating quickly so she could go gather herbs! Although areas had been designated within the space for planting medicinal herbs.
However, some items are still unavailable, and the selection is incomplete! Coincidentally, Xie Jianshe is in dire need of a particular medicinal herb!
The two got along very well, but poor Xie Jianshe woke up in a daze to find no one beside him!
"Cough cough..."
He coughed weakly a few times, rubbed his palms together, and smiled.
The sensation from before is still there!
Those are Zhou Ye's hands!
She took my hand!
"Oh...son, why are you awake?"
When Aunt Guihua saw her son wake up, she was so excited that she didn't know what to do!
Xie Jianshe replied softly with a helpless expression, "Mom, isn't it good that I woke up?"
"Huh? Haha... Haha... Good, of course it's good!"
Seeing her son looking around, she smiled and asked, "Are you looking for Xiao Ye?"
"Xiaoye?"
Xie Jianshe found it strange that his mother was addressing him like that. What had he missed? Less than a day had passed, and the way she addressed him had already changed?
Or was it that he had been unconscious for a long time?
"Yes, I told Xiaoye that calling me that makes it sound more intimate! Xiaoye agreed!"
After saying that, her eyes welled up with tears again!
She sniffed and sat on the edge of the bed: "My son, you are so pitiful, your mother is heartbroken!"
"What will your parents do if anything happens to you?"
As she spoke, she began to wipe away her tears!
Xie Jianshe comforted her, "It's alright, Mom, I'm fine!"
"Well, thankfully we have Xiao Ye, so we're relieved. You have no idea what you looked like when you came back—covered in blood!"
I thought... I thought you were gone!
How could that be?
Xie Jianshe was still exhausted and tired after saying just a few words!
Wang Guihua noticed this and carefully tucked the blanket in: "Son, you should rest for a bit. Xiao Ye just went out and might not be back until tonight."
But there's good news: Xiao Ye said he'll come every day from now on to change your dressing!
This way, you'll have more time to spend together!
wait……"
"mom!"
Xie Jianshe knew what Wang Guihua was about to say and stopped her!
"Okay, okay! I won't say anything! Are you hungry? Mom will go make you something to eat, but don't move around too much!"
This is a whistle; blow it if you feel unwell!
"good!"
Wang Guihua was just about to go to the kitchen to cook when she noticed someone lurking suspiciously outside the door...
Who is it?
"Sister-in-law, it's me!"
A person walked in through the door; it was Xie Jianshe's third aunt—Miao Zhaodi!
"Oh, it's Third Brother's wife! Come in quickly, what brings you here?"
Wang Guihua and Miao Zhaodi had a good relationship, so she quickly invited them in!
"I just heard that our Jianshe was injured? How is he? All along the way, people were saying that he was covered in blood?"
I was so worried I couldn't eat, so I rushed over!
Wang Guihua patted Miao Zhaodi's arm reassuringly: "There was a minor external injury and some bleeding, but the bleeding has stopped now!"
Our village's doctor, Dr. Zhou, has gone to collect medicinal herbs!
It's not a big problem, it just needs to rest for a while!
"Oh, that's good! That's good! I can finally relax! By the way, I also heard..."
He looked around, then leaned close to Wang Guihua's ear and whispered, "On my way here, I heard people talking about how when we returned from the construction site, we were holding hands with Zhou, the educated youth?"
Wang Guihua glared at him: "Why are you saying this? It's because Dr. Zhou was worried about our health that he pulled us along."
"There's nothing there, don't go around spouting nonsense!"
Miao Zhaodi wasn't afraid at all, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, this is a great opportunity!"
He leaned closer and whispered, "Sister-in-law, haven't you always wanted Zhou Zhiqing to be your daughter-in-law?"
I have a plan, it just depends on whether you listen to me or not!
