When Xie Xiangyang heard this, he felt extremely regretful.
He quickly changed his words and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant that I was so excited to see my family after surviving a disaster. Do you understand?"
"And I saw Lao Zhou outside the tent, walking towards us from a distance, so I thought of playing a joke and creating an exciting reunion scene for you two."
After listening to his explanation, Jiang Qingyue still did not express her opinion.
He just lowered his eyelids and said with a sad face,
"Old Xie, do you know how desperate Yingzi and I were when Xiao Zhao came to look for us yesterday and heard the news that you two were missing?"
"You know I'm usually quite calm, so I can hold on for a while. But Yingzi is different. She's pregnant, and she hasn't experienced any big storms. She can't stand the news of your disappearance."
When Xie Xiangyang heard this, his face really changed color.
He asked hurriedly, "What happened to Yingzi? How is she? How could Xiao Zhao tell her about my disappearance in front of her?"
Jiang Qingyue shook her head pretending to be sad. "Xiao Zhao was so scared that she cried. How could she avoid her?"
Xie Xiangyang didn't dare to think too much and kept asking, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, what happened to Yingzi? She didn't really think I was dead and then became depressed, right?"
"What if she has a miscarriage? What should we do?"
Jiang Qingyue saw that he was like an ant on a hot pan, and soon he was sweating profusely.
Thinking of how he scared her before, she just lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing that she remained silent, Xie Xiangyang felt even colder.
Regardless of the injury on his leg, he jumped out of bed.
Zhou Zhengting saw this and hurried over to stop the man. "It's not that I feel sorry for you, but your leg has just been bandaged. If you move around, you won't be able to go back tomorrow."
When Xie Xiangyang saw Zhou Zhengting coming, his eyes were red. "Old Zhou, tell me quickly, my sister-in-law must have told you, right?"
Having endured this far, Jiang Qingyue couldn't hold it in any longer.
He burst out laughing.
Then he asked, "Old Xie, how is it? Is it fun to be played a joke like this?"
Xie Xiangyang froze while holding Zhou Zhengting's hand, and immediately realized, "Are you really kidding? Yingzi doesn't know that something happened to me? How is that possible, you're here already."
Jiang Qingyue snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm as out of tune as you? When Xiao Zhao came, I saw something was wrong, so I avoided Yingzi's words and only told him that you were trapped in the mountains and had no way out, so we came here to dig a way out."
"I played this bad joke on you just to let you understand how I felt when I heard your joke. After all, sometimes jokes that are obvious to outsiders cannot help but be believed by the person involved because they care too much about it. Do you understand?"
Xie Xiangyang regretted it very much, "Sister-in-law, I understand. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
Seeing that he really knew he was wrong, Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhou Zhengting with a smile, "The grilled fish is cold."
Zhou Zhengting understood and quickly handed over the grilled fish. "Here, eat it. Eat well and take care of your wounds. We can go home tomorrow."
Xie Xiangyang took the grilled fish with emotion and took two bites.
Then he turned to Jiang Qingyue and asked, "Sister-in-law, tell me the truth, is Yingzi really okay?"
Jiang Qingyue sighed helplessly, "I'm definitely worried, but it's okay. Dean Hu and Auntie are here. Besides, Xiao Zhao should be able to contact them by now."
Xie Xiangyang nodded quickly, "That's good."
After Xie Xiangyang finished his meal, the two of them helped to clean up.
Then they came out of Xie Xiangyang's tent together.
It was dusk and half the sky was dyed orange-red.
The weather was not as hot as before.
As soon as the two of them went out, Jiang Qingyue smiled and said, "It's quite cool when the wind blows."
After saying that, he looked into the distance again.
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh, "This place is so beautiful. I didn't expect there is such a place in South Island. It's a pity that after the flood, such a beautiful village has become like this."
Zhou Zhengting also said with emotion, "It will slowly recover. The people who were evacuated have been resettled in nearby towns, and this place will also be renovated."
"After we repair this mountain road, it will be convenient for them to go to town in the future."
Jiang Qingyue nodded repeatedly, "That's good."
The rescue comrades who came together at noon.
The villagers who stay behind will be examined and their wounds will be re-bandaged and the dressings will be changed.
Some people were also cleaning up the village's garbage on the spot.
In particular, the carcasses of animals killed by floods must be buried immediately to avoid polluting water sources.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Jiang Qingyue looked at Zhou Zhengting and said, "Your arm also needs to be bandaged again. Don't worry, I'll help you. I've learned a little bit before."
Zhou Zhengting smiled and said, "I'm really fine, don't-"
He was halfway through his words when he saw Jiang Qingyue's eyes and immediately changed his words.
"Okay, Dr. Jiang, please help me check it out."
Jiang Qingyue was amused by him and quickly asked for disinfectant, bandages and gauze for bandaging.
When she carefully removed the gauze from the bleeding area, she discovered that the wound was more serious than she had imagined.
"You're seriously injured, but you were still trying to be strong just now. I really don't know what you were thinking."
Zhou Zhengting had no choice but to agree, "I was too excited just now and didn't pay attention for a moment. I will take good care of it."
Jiang Qingyue snorted coldly, "You have to take good care of it. Otherwise, if you become lame with one arm, I will dislike you and don't want you anymore."
Seeing this, Zhou Zhengting smiled foolishly, "Yes, sir. I promise to take good care of him. I won't let you live with a man with a lame arm. I promise."
After saying this, Jiang Qingyue realized that he had said something wrong and couldn't help laughing.
At night, before going to bed.
Only then did Jiang Qingyue realize that there was only a camp bed in their tent.
I couldn't help but feel troubled. "How should I sleep in this bed?"
Zhou Zhengting smiled and said, "I guess it's not enough. There are a lot of people here tonight, and I'm afraid the supplies may not be enough."
Jiang Qingyue thought about it and agreed.
She was the only woman here, and she could sleep in the same tent with Zhou Zhengting.
Outside, it seemed that there were several people crowded in a tent.
I guess only those who were injured had camp beds to sleep on, and the rest could only sleep on the ground.
Although the conditions are difficult, it doesn't matter if we can just make do with it for one night.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue suggested, "Then you sleep on the bed. Your arm is still injured. I'll sleep on the floor."
Zhou Zhengting pulled Jiang Qingyue back to the bed without saying a word.
"You sleep on the bed. How could I bear to let you sleep on the floor?"
As he said this, he brought some dry straw from outside and spread it on the ground, then took a piece of clothing to cover it, which served as a bed sheet.
Jiang Qingyue saw that the straw had just been soaked in rain water and some parts were moldy.
I couldn't help but frown, "Forget it, you come up first, let's try to see if we can squeeze in."
After saying that, Jiang Qingyue turned sideways as much as possible, trying to take up less space.
