The children, including Jian Dan, were all taken to the hospital. When Jian Dan saw Tang Sumei, she felt a little uncomfortable, after all, the incident happened with her, and she didn't know what Tang Sumei would think.
The group of children were all fine. One of them fell while running and scraped his hand, and another twisted his ankle. None of them were serious, but they were probably a little frightened.
All things considered, the simplest injury is still the most serious.
Tang Sumei rushed over upon hearing the news. The two boys, Cheng An and Cheng Jian, were standing by the bed looking at Jian Dan. Tang Sumei glanced at them and went straight to her.
"Let me see, let me see, where are you injured?"
"Second Aunt, it's me,"
Tang Sumei's concern and anxiety were genuine. Jian Dan was genuinely stunned. It had only been two days since she arrived. How could she compare to Tang Sumei's two biological sons?
"Second Aunt, I'm fine,"
Tang Sumei turned around and started scolding the child.
"What's wrong with you two? Didn't I tell you to protect your sister? How did you manage to get her hurt?"
The two boys had tears welling up in their eyes, feeling wronged and guilty. They stubbornly kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word. Jian Dan quickly pulled Tang Sumei away.
"Second Aunt, Second Aunt, you really can't blame them. They were all very brave today. It's all thanks to Xiao Rui's fearless rescue and Xiao An's calm command. Otherwise, things definitely wouldn't have gone so smoothly today."
"real?"
Although she has an instinctive bias towards her own children, Tang Sumei is also well aware of their abilities, especially Cheng Rui, who has always been mischievous and troublesome.
"Really, Auntie, let me tell you, they really did a great job today."
They're still kids, and what happened today must have been quite a shock for them. Their mother came and immediately started criticizing them, so they must be feeling really wronged.
Tang Sumei breathed a sigh of relief. When she heard that something had happened, she rushed over without asking any questions. Her first reaction was that Cheng Rui had caused trouble again. She felt sorry for Jian Dan, but Jian Dan was new here, so she had to make her stance clear. If it was her own child who made a mistake, she wouldn't be the kind of unreasonable parent who would blindly cover it up.
The injury on her back hadn't damaged her internal organs, but it was definitely bruised by now. She could feel it; every time she moved, her clothes rubbed against her skin, causing a faint stinging pain.
I instinctively sat up straight to minimize the contact between my clothes and skin.
"Second Aunt, they are really amazing. They didn't panic in such an emergency and immediately organized the children to a safe area. Look, Xiao Rui's hand is injured."
Tang Sumei became anxious upon hearing that she was injured.
"Are you hurt? Come here quickly so Mom can take a look."
The scratch was caused by the child's frantic scratching while she was holding him. It wasn't serious, but Tang Sumei was heartbroken. She couldn't say they were wrong, so she could only hold the child in her arms and pat him gently.
"I've grown up, I've really grown up."
Having been frightened and run so much, the two children relaxed and soon nodded from exhaustion. Tang Sumei saw that things weren't finished outside, so she and Jian Dan put the children on the bed.
Seeing that they were fast asleep, he briefly and quietly explained the situation to Tang Sumei.
"Second Aunt, it's partly my fault. If you hadn't wanted to take me out to play, this wouldn't have happened..."
Although she felt sorry for the child, Tang Sumei wouldn't go so far as to try to take advantage of her.
"Isn't it their duty to take you around? Besides, even if you don't come, they'll still go up the mountain every day."
This kind of thing isn't necessarily a bad thing. If it weren't for this incident, I really wouldn't have known that this child could react this way.
Dandan, you don't need to blame yourself. It's not your fault. It's normal to encounter these things when you're guarding the mountain. This is an experience for them, so they'll have a better understanding next time they encounter something like this.
To be honest, I feel heartbroken and scared when the children had that accident. If you hadn't been here, I don't know if they would have come back safe and sound so easily.
But from another perspective, I'm still quite pleased. I haven't raised my child wrong; boys should be raised this way.
Jian Dan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Sumei patted her.
"Don't think too much. You're their older sister. Now it's your turn to protect them, and in the future, they'll be the ones backing you up. Otherwise, I won't let them off the hook."
As luck would have it, Tang Sumei patted his back. Jian Dan, caught off guard, felt a sharp pain. Although the sound wasn't loud, Tang Sumei heard it clearly, and her hand on his back paused.
"You injured your back?"
Without a word, he forced her into a chair, leaving her no choice but to lower her voice.
"It's nothing, Auntie, it's just a bump. I'll just put some safflower oil on it when we get back."
Summer clothes are thin, and Tang Sumei lifted them up without saying a word. She immediately gasped in shock. Her entire back was covered in bruises, some of which were red and swollen. The contrast with her fair skin was quite jarring.
Tang Sumei didn't dare to reach out and touch it.
"You silly child, you're so badly injured, why didn't you say anything? You're a girl!"
Jian Dan is used to handling everything herself. When the doctor examined her just now, the bruise wasn't this obvious yet. He prescribed safflower oil and told her to massage it in when she got home.
She planned to go back to the base space that night to find a medicinal bath pack and soak in it properly, but Tang Sumei still found out.
Footsteps sounded outside, and then someone pushed open the ward door. Tang Sumei, her heart heavy, didn't turn around but shouted angrily.
"go out!"
Cheng Zhuo paused for a moment after pushing the door open, but still slowly retreated.
The two children on the bed shuddered in fright, and Jian Dan quickly got up and gently patted them a few times.
"Second Aunt, it's alright, it's alright, don't scare them."
Tang Sumei's hands trembled with anger, her eyes blinking rapidly, and she left with a single sentence.
"I'll go get your medicine,"
He turned around and rushed out of the ward.
Cheng Zhuo waited anxiously outside the door, but there was no sound from inside. What had happened?
Tang Sumei crashed straight into him, and he quickly caught her.
"What happened? Is the child injured? Or what?"
Familiar faces and familiar scents made Tang Sumei let him lead her aside, shaking her head incessantly as tears streamed down her face.
Seeing her leave, Jian Dan was stunned for a second. Hadn't she already gotten the medicine? Why did she need to get more medicine?
However, since the child was sleeping and there was no one else in the room, she turned her back and took out the special medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
It's my own body, and this pain isn't fake.
This medicine was specially developed by a research institute in my previous life, and it also has some anesthetic and analgesic effects. The base has always kept a stock of it.
In their line of work, injuries are common, and minor, bloodless wounds like these are almost constant. This is perfect for her now. She can take a medicinal bath when she gets back tonight. Her body is so small, she can't be careless.
When Cheng Zhuo came in again, Jian Dan was leaning against the headboard, already asleep.
He quietly slipped out again.
