Chapter 74 On the meadow



She couldn't stop crying, but fortunately Sheng Kangning's head and face were wrapped in a gauze scarf.

No one saw her cry.

Sheng Kangning coughed lightly: "It's okay, I just sprained my ankle!"

Chu Nanzhou immediately picked him up, and Zhou Shen shouted, "Captain, this way!"

Zhou Shen was standing next to a rock. Chu Nanzhou carried him over, put him on the rock, and started to check.

Zhou Shen held up an umbrella and covered the two of them.

Yang Hui was also surprised when he saw Chu Nanzhou and Zhou Shen. He had heard that someone had come to the farm, but who?

Yang Hui didn't know. He was busy harvesting and the only free time he had was spent thinking about how to pursue Sheng Kangning. He really had no time to figure out who the person who came was.

Yang Hui patted Zhou Shen and asked in a low voice, "Do they know each other?"

Zhou Shen raised his eyebrows.

"More than just knowing each other!"

Just from this one sentence, Yang Hui had a bad feeling in his heart. If it was any other man, he, Yang Hui, would not be afraid and would not be a coward!

But this person is Chu Nanzhou.

Yang Hui suddenly felt unsure.

Chu Nanzhou squatted down to check Sheng Kangning's feet, but was stopped by Sheng Kangning: "Brother Chu, I'm fine, go back first! It's raining!"

"Besides your sprained ankle, are you injured anywhere else? Did you fall on your leg? Or your arm?"

Sheng Kangning shook his head:

"No, I just sprained my ankle."

Chu Nanzhou looked at the little girl: "Is the sprained ankle serious?"

"It's okay. I'll take a look on the way back. If there are herbs that are suitable for your condition, I'll pick them up and apply them on the affected area. It will be healed in two or three days."

Chu Nanzhou nodded, turned around, and said with his back to Sheng Kangning, "Come up, I'll carry you!"

Sheng Kangning did not delay, nor was he shy. He lay on the man's broad back, thinking that the important thing to do was to go home early.

The little girl probably didn't eat well and was very light. In order to divert Sheng Kangning's attention, Chu Nanzhou asked as they walked, "How was the harvest this time?"

When asked this, Sheng Kangning couldn't help laughing.

They harvested more than 40 Sophora flavescens plants, a few pheasants, and a nest of pheasant eggs.

Sister Hongmei also picked a lot of mugwort.

We can make more than half the number of medicine packs.

…………

Duan Dongcheng, with a square face and tall stature, was wearing a sailor shirt, a pair of washed-out military trousers, and a raincoat. He was leading a horse in his hand and walking slowly towards the Baichuan Forest Farm.

He turned here from Liuhe Forest Farm and had to cross the meadow in front.

He was familiar with this meadow.

Duan Dongcheng has been playing in this area since he was a child, and he can walk out of it with his eyes closed.

But he couldn't ride a horse, especially when it was raining so heavily. If he was unlucky and the horse got stuck, he wouldn't have the strength to pull it out by himself.

Since this place was very close to home, Duan Dongcheng didn't ride the horse, but just led the horse and walked slowly.

Duan Dongcheng didn't want to come back, if his father hadn't sent him three telegrams in a row, each with only four words on it.

'Critically ill, come back quickly!'

The leader couldn't stand it anymore and gave him leave as a way to bring him back. Otherwise, it was Duan Dongcheng himself who was unwilling to come back.

He is not critically ill, but he is forced to get married.

His father was forcing him to come back because he disliked his age and the fact that he had not yet started a family.

The last time I received a letter from home, my father specifically mentioned it at the end of the letter, saying that Uncle Jiang’s daughter, Jiang Xin, would be eighteen after the Chinese New Year.

Duan Dongcheng knew what his father meant.

The Duan family and the Jiang family have been living in the same forest farm for many years, often visiting each other and having a close relationship.

The parents wanted Duan Dongcheng to marry Jiang Xin.

However, in Duan Dongcheng's eyes, Jiang Xin is just a younger sister. Besides, he is much older than Jiang Xin.

This is not appropriate!

Another thing is that Jiang Xin has good grades, and in the future...if she has the opportunity, she will be able to go to university.

What does Duan Dongcheng have? He is a junior high school graduate and can do nothing except being a soldier.

He is not worthy of the girl.

But his father would not listen and insisted that he come back, saying that they should arrange the marriage first and get married when Jiang Xin turned 18.

Duan Dongcheng got a headache whenever he thought about this.

I should have listened to my leader earlier and found a nurse or doctor in the army and got married.

It’s just a matter of having children!

He has so many things to do now, how can he have the time and energy to focus on his family?

If he hadn't known that Company Commander Chu Nanzhou was here, he really wouldn't want to come back.

When Duan Dongcheng heard "Help" for the first time, the sound was like being blown into his ears by the wind. He didn't know from which direction it came. As a soldier, when he heard the word "Help", Duan Dongcheng stopped and listened carefully for a long time.

As a result, I could hear nothing except the sound of rain.

In such a desolate place again, Duan Dongcheng picked his ears.

I suspected that I was hallucinating.

Duan Dongcheng had no choice but to keep going forward, and walked for more than half an hour.

'Someone, help!'

The sound sounded like someone was about to die.

But this time I heard it for real!

Someone was really shouting for help! After careful identification, Duan Dongcheng chose a direction and walked forward with his horse while looking for someone.

When Duan Dongcheng discovered Qin Jianing.

Qin Jianing was already in a semi-comatose state, with half of his body having slipped into the swamp. He was lying there, clinging to a bush with both hands. His entire body was covered in mud, and his face was also smeared with mud. It was impossible to tell what he looked like, and one could only tell from his long braid that he was a woman.
