Xu Zhaodi limped into the room. She sat on a stool, rolled up her trouser legs and saw that her ankle was badly swollen and blue. It was definitely not sprained when she got off the car just now.
Chen Jianguo's eyes fell on Xu Zhaodi's ankle and frowned.
What can I say about her? It was so swollen but no one noticed it when she went to the hospital.
It can be seen that she must have been very scared today.
Xu Zhaodi rolled down her trouser legs and wanted to rub herself after entering the house. Before she put down her trouser legs, Chen Jianguo's tall body suddenly squatted in front of her.
"Don't move, let me see." He moved forcefully, his brows furrowed.
Chen Jianguo grabbed Xu Zhaodi's ankle with his rough big hands and looked at the instep.
The feet were surprisingly white and soft, with white and round toes, looking very different from those of men.
very……
Very cute!
Thinking of the word cute, Chen Jianguo's ears blushed secretly.
How did such an adjective pop into my mind?
When his hand lightly touched the instep of his foot, he felt extremely painful. Xu Zhaodi hissed and took a breath of cold air.
"pain……"
"Do you feel the pain now? You are so brave. The trafficker had a knife in his hand. Why didn't you let the big man stay and go find the police?
You are so good, you rushed in to save people without caring about your own safety."
Chen Jianguo knew how cruel the methods used by human traffickers were. Those scumbags did things that were utterly unscrupulous. If he was caught this time, he would definitely be in prison for the rest of his life.
Fortunately they showed up in time, if they were a step later, the consequences would be disastrous.
Chen Jianguo's complaining tone became smaller and smaller as time went on, and he even sounded a little cautious.
Xu Zhaodi didn't like what she heard, so she tapped her foot and said unhappily, "I just think that Jiang Wan is just like me, not familiar with the place when we go out, and I'm afraid of being cheated.
Besides, I'm fine, right?
You think I've embarrassed you again, don't you?
Don't worry about me, I'll rub it myself."
Xu Zhaodi was also angry. It was a good thing that he came to save people, but he blamed himself as soon as he entered the door.
Although she knew very well that he was worried about her, she still felt uncomfortable.
Can't you just praise yourself a few words?
Chen Jianguo looked up at Xu Zhaodi's angry expression and felt that his tone was a little wrong. He reached out and grabbed Xu Zhaodi's ankle again, whispering, "You woman, why are you so fierce?
You are a hero today, and I blame you for not paying attention to the tone of my voice. Isn't it okay to say sorry?"
Xu Zhaodi glanced at Chen Jianguo sideways, pursed her lips tightly, turned her head away and said nothing more.
The three words "I'm sorry" were really surprising, which also shows that the man in front of me has a positive attitude and corrects his mistakes as soon as he knows them. He is a real straight man.
He is very direct. He criticizes when necessary and apologizes when necessary.
She was still in shock, and when she woke up she just wanted to rest in peace and calm down.
Chen Jianguo said, "Just sit still. I'll give you a cold compress and then wash you with white wine. You'll be fine in seven or eight days."
Xu Zhaodi still didn't say anything. The situation was urgent at the time. Although she was injured, she did not regret it.
Soon, Chen Jianguo brought half a basin of cold water, wet a towel with cold water, and applied it to the instep of her foot. After half an hour, the swelling seemed to have subsided a little.
Chen Jianguo went into the kitchen and took out half a bottle of white wine. He moved a stool and sat opposite Xu Zhaodi. He put her calves on his thighs, poured the white wine into a bowl, lit it with a match, and put his hand into the burning wine.
Xu Zhaodi was a little scared and nervously wanted to pull her legs.
"What are you doing? This is very dangerous. Do you know how to do it? If you get burned, you will have to pay for it."
"Don't move. It just looks hot, but it's not hot at all."
When the burning wine fell on the instep and ankle, it did not hurt or feel hot. Instead, it was a warm feeling that penetrated the skin and flesh, which was very comfortable.
Looking out the window, with the yellow light from the house, the scene of two people sitting at the table was actually not that bad. On the contrary, it looked very warm.
…
Zhang Qingdong looked serious as he looked at Jiang Wan who was looking down at his toes.
"I'll call Uncle Jiang tomorrow and ask him to send you to the train station and have someone pick you up on time."
If it weren't for his sister-in-law today, Jiang Wan would have been sold to a remote corner of the mountains to suffer.
Jiang Wan pursed her lips, her eyes red, and whispered: "I discussed with my parents that they were going to call you before coming, but I wanted to give you a surprise, so I stopped them from telling you.
Brother Qingdong, don't be angry.
I'm already here, I don't want to leave, I have a letter of introduction for my job, I can't just leave like that."
Jiang Wan said as he took out a letter of introduction from his bag and handed it to Zhang Qingdong.
Uncle Jiang actually introduced her to work as a Chinese teacher at the Wuxing Primary School in the town ahead.
Isn't this nonsense?
She is a girl who was brought up in the south and was spoiled. How could she endure the hardship in this place that is neither south nor north?
Zhang Qingdong felt a headache just thinking about the days ahead.
"We'll talk about this tomorrow. Go wash up quickly and have a good rest after that."
Jiang Wan's stomach growled and she raised her eyes slowly with a wronged look.
"I haven't eaten yet."
Zhang Qingdong sighed helplessly. He almost forgot that he hadn't eaten yet, so he decided to just cook two bowls of noodles.
…
Chen Jianguo also cooked noodles, drizzled them with sesame oil, sprinkled them with a handful of green onions, and placed two boiled pheasant eggs on the side.
Xu Zhaodi has an ankle injury, so she has to eat something nutritious so that she can heal faster.
At this moment, Xu Zhaodi was already leaning against the head of the bed. Chen Jianguo came in with noodles and only then realized that her room was as clean as his own.
This was the first time he had entered her room in half a year. In the past, when he passed by the door, he could see the messy things piled on the bed at a glance. Now, when he looked at it, he always felt that it was an illusion.
Chen Jianguo said, "Eat quickly, and go to bed early after eating. I will give you a cold compress tomorrow morning, and then wash you with white wine."
Xu Zhaodi looked at the noodles in the bowl and couldn't help swallowing. She was indeed hungry. She felt lucky to have saved half her life this afternoon.
Xu Zhaodi took the bowl and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"I eat noodles too, so hurry up and eat."
Xu Zhaodi looked at the two not very big fried eggs beside her, which were obviously pheasant eggs.
"Go get your bowl, and we'll each have a poached egg."
No matter what, he saved me today. From now on, I have to rely on him for survival and cannot eat alone.
As the saying goes, it is hard to enjoy the blessing.
"Don't worry about me, just eat."
As Chen Jianguo was speaking, his tall figure disappeared outside the door.
Xu Zhaodi looked at the noodles in the bowl, suppressed her urgent desire to eat, and ate them in small bites.
Chen Jianguo waited for her to finish her bowl, then stood at the door, raised his hand and knocked on it, saying, "There's still some in the pot, I'll serve you another bowl."
"I'm done, thank you for the noodles."
