Chapter 210 Injured
As the sky gradually darkened, the people in Taohua Village finished their day's work and returned home.
More than a dozen students from the school dragged their tired bodies towards Gu Jiayue's home.
They looked like wounded soldiers who had just retreated from the battlefield, each one dragging a leg or shaking their hands.
Even Chen Shuyan, who had done the work before, looked pale.
Gu Jiayue wanted to make a joke, but then she realized that she had no strength left.
She didn't feel it when she was working in the fields, but as soon as she stopped, she felt sore all over and didn't even have the strength to breathe.
Well, now he really has no right to laugh at others.
Jiang Luli also saw the dozen or so students and snorted coldly. "Hmph, scholars are useless."
Su Yichen covered his chest, as if he had suffered a critical hit of tens of millions points.
What should I do if the teacher is too sharp-tongued?
What to do? Just bear it!
"Master taught me right."
Everyone bowed to show that they had learned the lesson.
Jiang Luli suddenly felt that it was meaningless, so he stopped talking about them and walked towards Gu Jiayue.
Gu Jiayue looked at the medicine bottle that suddenly appeared in front of her, and the confusion on her face was about to overflow.
Jiang Luli glanced at Gu Jiayue's shoulder, then looked away. "Did the backpack bruise your shoulder? It's sure to get worse tomorrow if you don't take care of it."
"This medicine is good. If you use it now, you will definitely be cured tomorrow."
His voice was low and gentle, completely devoid of the sharp tongue he had just had.
Gu Jiayue was a little shy, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she hesitated whether to take the bottle of medicine.
Her body had been pampered for more than ten years, and she hadn't actually worked in the fields every day since coming to Taohua Village, so her skin was still very delicate.
During the day, I was so focused on working quickly that I didn't notice the problem with my body. Now that I stopped, I felt a piercing pain in my shoulder.
She had just checked back in her room. The backpack straps had left two bloody marks on her shoulders. Some areas were even broken. If she didn't apply medicine, the wounds would definitely get worse tomorrow.
She didn't have such ointment at home, so it could be said that what Jiang Luli sent was timely relief.
Seeing that Gu Jiayue didn't say anything and didn't reach out to take it, he directly stuffed the bottle of medicine into Gu Jiayue's hand and earnestly reminded her: "This medicine works quickly. The pain will be gone tomorrow. If you still feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me as soon as possible." After that, he looked at her shoulder worriedly, his eyes full of concern.
Gu Jiayue was not one to shy away from the idea. She held the medicine bottle in her hand, a look of genuine gratitude on her face. "Thank you very much."
Jiang Luli was very happy to see her accept it, and waved his hand nonchalantly. "It's just a small matter."
Su Yichen, who watched the whole process, looked down at the blood blisters on the palm of his hand and felt that he also needed medicine.
He didn't know why. Others could easily husk the corn with just a little effort, but he pushed harder and harder. He had to use all his strength to remove each corn husk.
Now his palms were burning with pain, and he really needed to apply some medicine that would heal tomorrow.
So he steeled himself, ignoring Jiang Luli's cold expression, and approached Gu Jiayue with a smile, "Master, I'm also injured. Can you give me some medicine?"
He even stretched out his hand pitifully.
Gu Jiayue noticed that the base of the bony hand had begun to turn blue, and some areas were even broken.
"Oh, how did you get it so serious?" Gu Jiayue exclaimed, and hurriedly took out the ointment that had not yet been warmed up in her arms, twisted it open and was about to wipe it on Su Yichen.
But when he looked up, Su Yichen was gone.
Jiang Luli held it in his hand like a little chicken. "This ointment is very little, only enough for a few uses. Keep it for yourself. How can a man like him not endure such a small amount of hardship?"
Su Yichen felt like fate was grabbing his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Headmaster, I'm going to die!" He tried to pull up his collar, wanting to breathe fresh air.
Jiang Luli threw him backward, landing him right in Shen Shuyan's arms. "Go back and copy the Sacred Edict for me by heart. Give it to me before work tomorrow!"
ah?
Su Yichen covered his still aching neck and looked at his headmaster in surprise.
So, love can change, right? He is no longer the headmaster's favorite student?
He wanted to say something, but Chen Shuyan behind him pulled him and signaled him to shut up.
But all this changed so quickly that Gu Jiayue was unable to react for a while.
He looked at the palm-sized medicine bottle in his hand. It was full of ointment. Not to mention that it could only be used two or three times, there would still be more than enough left even if he applied it to everyone present.
Jiang Luli took two steps forward, blocking the annoying gaze of the students behind him. "I hurt my knuckles at noon due to improper operation. Can Dean Gu help me apply some medicine?"
He followed Su Yichen's example and stretched out his right hand.
Yu Su Yichen's fair hand didn't hurt, though. Jiang Luli's skin was a healthy tan, with calluses on his palm from sword practice. Looking at it this way, there was only a tiny red mark at the base of his palm. If it had been later, it might have disappeared.
Gu Jiayue looked at him, then at Su Yichen, who was being dragged away by Chen Shuyan with his mouth covered. She said sincerely, "How about I apply it to both of you first?"
A discerning eye could see that Su Yichen's condition was more serious, with the skin around his palms broken. Jiang Luli, on the other hand, was only slightly red.
Jiang Luli's handsome face drooped instantly. Then he thought again. "Okay, then you help me first."
Gu Jiayue was stunned for a moment as she looked at the hand that was once again extended before unscrewing the ointment box. She dipped a little white ointment on her right index finger, gently supported Jiang Luli's palm with her left hand, and carefully applied it.
Jiang Luli couldn't look away from Gu Jiayue's fingers from the moment they touched his palm. His lowered eyes trembled slightly with her movements.
His breathing unconsciously slowed down, for fear of disturbing the beautiful scene before him.
Jiang Luli could clearly feel every stroke of her fingertips. The slight touch, like an electric current, ran along the palm of his hand and straight into his heart, making his heart beat rapidly and uncontrollably.
Gu Jiayue seemed to notice his gaze and raised her head.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Luli felt as if he had sunk into a clear lake.
There seemed to be countless stars in her eyes.
He swallowed subconsciously, his throat felt dry. He wanted to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't utter a word.
His hand moved slightly unconsciously, not because of the pain, but because of the surging throbbing in his heart that made him a little overwhelmed.
Gu Jiayue let go of his hand and waved to Su Yichen who was not far away. "Okay, come here quickly. I'll apply the medicine for you just in time for dinner."
Su Yichen felt that his life was really miserable. Not only was he punished to write an article for no apparent reason, but he was also dragged around by the headmaster by the scruff of his neck. After he finally managed to stand firm, his friend covered his mouth and dragged him along.
Is there still justice in this world?
Fortunately, fortunately the teacher feels sorry for him.
He pushed away the Shen Shuyan that was still holding him, and walked towards Gu Jiayue with firm steps, a worthless silly smile on his face.
Chen Shuyan looked at Su Yichen in surprise.
No, Jiang Shanchang had already made it so obvious. Why did he still move forward with his teeth bared?
It’s better not to have such a tactless friend!
