She looked over with some confusion and saw that a female educated youth who had also come to cut grass had cut her foot with a sickle and was now screaming in pain.
Huang Tingxiu put down the grass in her hand and hurried over.
"Zhang Zhiqing, are you alright?"
Huang Tingxiu helped Zhang Shuixian up and led her to sit down on the side.
Zhang Shuixian clutched her calf and cried incessantly.
