Chapter 404: Settlement of Accounts



Seeing her embarrassed look, Zhou Zhengting couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are already an old married couple, and you still care about this."

Jiang Qingyue sighed, "Your arm is injured, how can you change my clothes?"

Zhou Zhengting smiled and said, "I exchanged it with one hand."

Thinking of the mud on her trouser legs, Jiang Qingyue wanted to hide underground again, "When you saw me just now, was my whole body covered in mud?"

Zhou Zhengting hummed, "It's like a clay beauty fished out of the mud."

Jiang Qingyue burst out laughing at his amusement.

I washed my face thoroughly, combed my hair again and tied it up.

Jiang Qingyue then felt much better.

"Your arm is still injured. Why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"

Zhou Zhengting refused, "No, just lie down and I'll just rest next to you for a while."

As he spoke, Zhou Zhengting moved his stool towards her bed and leaned half of his body against her.

Jiang Qingyue closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep, so she asked, "What happened to you guys? I was scared when I saw your watch at the landslide."

Zhou Zhengting closed his eyes and whispered in her ear, "We encountered a landslide on our way back. It wasn't that serious at first, just rocks falling down."

"Old Xie's leg was hit, and I was hit on the arm. The watch must have fallen at that time. Others also suffered minor injuries."

"Then we quickly turned around and came back. We fired the flares to alert them of the situation, but we didn't expect that you would be brought here as well."

"If we had known this would happen, we would have waited here. Anyway, the flood has receded now and there won't be any danger for a while."

Jiang Qingyue seemed to be speaking lightly, but she herself felt frightened and broke out in a sweat.

It is simply unimaginable how they managed to turn around on such a narrow mountain road.

How did they escape from the falling rocks?

She just rested her head on his shoulder and said in fear, "Luckily, you guys reacted quickly and were able to escape in that situation. I never dared to think about it."

Zhou Zhengting laughed softly from his chest, opened his eyes, looked at her and smiled, "Now you know how powerful your man is, don't worry about me anymore. I promised you that I would take good care of myself, and I will definitely keep my promise."

The two of them closed their eyes and lay in each other's arms for a while.

Jiang Qingyue learned the whole story and saw that Zhou Zhengting was not seriously injured and his arm injury was not serious.

So after just a short rest, I felt that I had fully recovered.

My spirits also improved greatly.

Because everyone was busy outside, the two of them felt embarrassed to stay in the tent all the time.

Jiang Qingyue took the initiative to suggest going out together to take a look.

The place where everyone was stationed was the threshing ground that the village used to use to dry grain.

Because this place is surrounded by mountains and most of the farmland is terraced, the threshing ground was specially chosen to be located halfway up the mountain on the only way.

It is convenient for people to carry the grain directly over after harvesting it, thresh it and dry it before carrying it away.

Because of the high terrain, it was not flooded during the flood.

It became the temporary stationing place for Zhou Zhengting and others.

In addition to the comrades who came in with Zhou Zhengting, and the group who came in with Xiao Zhao to provide support.

The remaining people I didn’t recognize were a few villagers here.

Zhou Zhengting pointed at the fire that the villagers were gathered around and said with a smile, "When you came just now, I went hunting with them nearby, so I was not here when you came."

Jiang Qingyue gave him a displeased look and said, "Your hands are already like this, and you're still hunting?"

Zhou Zhengting laughed softly, "One hand is enough. Come on, I'll take you to see if it's done."

Jiang Qingyue had just eaten a bowl of porridge and had almost digested it.

I am indeed a little hungry now.

When I followed Zhou Zhengting to the campfire, I saw everyone roasting pheasants, fish and other things on branches.

Seeing the two people coming, everyone nodded and greeted them.

He handed over another pheasant, "Captain Zhou, thank you for your hard work. This chicken is freshly roasted. Please have some!"

Zhou Zhengting saw Jiang Qingyue staring at the roast chicken with sparkling eyes.

He took it without hesitation, "Thank you, you guys can eat it too!"

As he said that, he handed the roasted chicken to Jiang Qingyue, "It's not easy for me to tear it for you with one hand, so just eat it directly."

Jiang Qingyue nodded, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to him, "You have some too."

"It's okay. There are still plenty over there. We caught a lot of fish today. I'll eat some later."

Jiang Qingyue felt a little embarrassed when she saw everyone was looking at her. "Just eat if I tell you to. Besides, I can't finish it."

Seeing that she was embarrassed, Zhou Zhengting quickly took it and started eating.

The comrades on the other side were preparing dinner, but it was much simpler.

The dry food that everyone brought with them was biscuits and the like.

Even the rice porridge that Jiang Qingyue had just eaten was from a small bag of rice that the villagers had managed to rescue.

Now that there was fish, everyone set up a big pot and made a pot of fish soup to eat.

Jiang Qingyue looked at the dining line and found that Xiao Zhao was not there, so she hurriedly asked about Zhou Zhengting.

"I asked him to go back first. This incident has made everyone so worried. I asked him to go back first to let everyone know that he is safe."

"By the way, we need to clear the road ahead. The sun is strong these two days, so if we let the road dry out, we can drive out tomorrow."

Jiang Qingyue nodded, "Yes, Yingzi and the others should have been worried about him a long time ago, it would be good to let him go back and report that he is safe."

As for them, they will definitely stay here for the night and leave tomorrow.

Anyway, for Jiang Qingyue, she definitely couldn't move a step further.

Xie Xiangyang's leg was so badly injured that he couldn't move.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue stood up suddenly, "I forgot to settle the score with Old Xie!"

Zhou Zhengting saw that she was full and had more energy.

Now he rolled up his sleeves angrily and was about to go find Lao Xie to settle the score.

Then he also stood up with a smile, "Come on, I'll take you to settle the score with him."

Saying they were going to settle the bill, the two men took two grilled fish and walked in together.

As soon as he entered the tent, Xie Xiangyang, who was lying on the bed bored, immediately sat up in fright.

"Sister-in-law, you're here? Are you okay just now?"

Jiang Qingyue snorted coldly, and put her hands on her hips, "Okay, you old Xie, I thought you were usually out of tune, but I didn't expect you would still be in the mood to joke about such a big thing, isn't it funny?"

Xie Xiangyang pulled the corner of his mouth guiltily, "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. I really was too excited when I saw you coming and started joking."

When Zhou Zhengting heard this, he snorted coldly, "My wife is here, why are you so excited!"
