Ling Yue let go of his hand and walked in front. He had long legs and walked fast.
Looking back at the girl who was struggling to hop on one leg, he hugged her again and put her under the orange tree in the yard.
Ruan Mian sat on a wooden bench, a light layer of powder on her face.
"Why, heat stroke?"
The man rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, revealing his arms which were a honey-brown color, with the lines of a mature man.
The veins protruding under his skin showed that he was very strong.
He looked at the inexplicable blush on the girl's cheeks in confusion.
The girl mumbled something in a low voice, but Ling Yue couldn't hear it clearly.
So he bent down and moved closer.
"Louder! It's like a bird chirping. Who can hear it?"
Ruan Mian sat obediently on the small wooden bench, her hair swaying gently, emitting the fragrance of wind chimes.
It has a light fragrance, not strong, and you can smell a subtle sweetness.
The man had always spoken with a hint of hostility that he was not aware of.
In addition, his deep features and countless scars inadvertently revealed an aura that he was not to be trifled with.
The girl was timid, so she pursed her lower lip and stopped talking.
Ling Yue frowned, glanced at him, stood up and went into the house to get the ointment.
These are all made by grinding the herbs he picked in the mountains, and they are more effective than those bought in the pharmacy.
People in the village often come to him to buy things, but the man never accepts money and only adheres to the principle of barter.
Ruan Mian looked around and saw that his house was a very ordinary small flat with two bedrooms and a living room.
Part of the ground in the yard was casually poured with cement, and most of it was covered with moss.
There is a small vegetable patch at the door, where cucumbers, cabbages, tomatoes, etc. are grown.
Before I could finish looking, the man came over with a box of green ointment.
He was tall to begin with, and even when half-squatting he was still half a head taller than the girl. A sense of unintentional oppression lingered around the girl.
Apply medicine.
The bitter smell of the medicine was unpleasant, and the girl wrinkled her nose.
The man has a straight nose and a thick jawline.
Probably because it was hot, he went into the house and took off his coat, revealing a dark gray vest underneath.
His exposed arms were strong and powerful, and he could easily lift himself up with one hand.
Ling Yue's eyes were dark, and the skin in his hands was as white as jade. It was the first time he saw such a delicate girl in the countryside.
Everything was soft, and I didn't dare to use force for fear of hurting her.
Applying medicine was more difficult than hunting, and beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead.
"hiss."
He didn't pay attention when wrapping the gauze and pressed the wound with his finger.
"Feel sorry."
Hearing Ruan Mian's cry of pain, Ling Yue frowned and sped up his work, cutting the edges neatly so that no excess fabric would scratch her.
"Okay, you'll be able to walk normally after a few days of recuperation."
He put away a pile of things and heard the girl ask as he stepped over the threshold.
“Why is there a deep pit on the mountain?”
After a slight pause, the man explained in a stern tone.
"Don't go up the mountain alone in the future. It's a trap for catching prey."
Ruan Mian patted his chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, there were no sharp bamboos at the bottom of the cave, otherwise he couldn't imagine...
The sun was about to set, and the warm yellow afterglow poured into the yard from the distant mountain top. It was so quiet that it seemed as if time had slowed down.
People in the countryside work from sunrise to sunset.
The farmers who were peeling corn in the fields all went home carrying their farm tools.
The girl lay in the corner and stared curiously. She heard Ling Yue fiddling with something in the basket, which was full.
He walked over and motioned for the girl to lie on his back, holding her legs firmly.
"Where are we going?"
The man didn't explain either.
I just made a few turns before dark and arrived at a tile-roofed house. There were a few plastic buckets of water at the door.
He put the girl aside, picked up the basket and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
The sound of coaxing a child came from inside, and the woman opened the door with a little surprise.
"Second Aunt, I have something to trouble you with."
Hu Mei's eyes shifted from his hand to the girl in the floral dress. Even at night, her skin was still glowing white.
After the two talked, Ruan Mian realized that he was half responsible for her injury.
"Oh, it's nothing, just an extra mouthful of food. Take the basket back and don't be polite with your family."
The woman was only thirty years old, but she already had white hair and looked like she was living in poverty.
Ling Yue has always been a man of his word, and sometimes he is as stubborn as a cow. He put the basket full of dried meat at the door.
He instructed the stunned girl, "Stay here for now. You can come to me if you need anything later."
After saying that, he walked away in the moonlight without looking back.
Hu Mei shook her head and sighed, "Ah, this child is kind-hearted."
Ruan Mian was led in by her.
"Just call me aunt."
They sat on the stools and chatted for a while, getting to know each other.
It turned out that Ling Yue brought her here because he was afraid that the villagers would gossip about her.
Hu Mei's husband died of illness a few years ago, leaving her and her daughter to struggle to make a living.
As she spoke, perhaps expressing her feelings about how difficult it had been for her over the years, the woman's eyes turned red and she choked with sobs.
"Second Aunt, don't be sad. Things will definitely get better in the future."
After hearing the comfort, Hu Mei just smiled slightly, and the sad mood did not dissipate so quickly.
To be honest, she really couldn't afford that basket of dried meat. It would cost at least several hundred yuan.
It can be seen that her nephew also wants to help her and her mother.
After all, she was benefiting from the little girl, so she was more polite to Ruan Mian.
