Chapter 19



He Xianqiu's knees were red from the fall, with some scratches on them.

Ji Chenzhou lowered his head and carefully placed the medicine on the leaf on her kneecap.

The herbs felt cool as soon as they were applied to the body. He Xianqiu squinted his eyes comfortably, not noticing that Ji Chenzhou's face was blushing.

He Xianqiu lowered her head and looked at Ji Chenzhou. The other party noticed her gaze and turned his head away slightly so that she could not see his red face.

Ji Chenzhou said in an unnatural voice: "He Zhiqing, I will carry you down the mountain now, let's go to the team doctor for a checkup."

He Xianqiu nodded, and then thought of the pit that Ji Chenzhou had dug: "Oh no, I forgot about the trap. Will the kid fall into the pit?"

Ji Chenzhou thought that the trap was indeed a problem, so he said, "Then let's bury the trap first, and then send you down the mountain."

"Okay, let's go over there now." He Xianqiu said.

Ji Chenzhou carried He Xianqiu on his back, and He Xianqiu gently hugged his neck with both hands.

Ji Chenzhou's eyelashes trembled, and then he carried He Xianqiu on his back to the place where the trap was dug. He didn't dare to move his hands, and only dared to gently grab He Xianqiu's legs.

The two men walked through the woods and came to the trap. They heard the crowing of a chicken from a distance. He Xianqiu heard it and knew that it had been caught.

She was so excited on Ji Chenzhou's back: "Student Ji, we caught a pheasant."

Ji Chenzhou was infected by her joy and smiled: "Well, but I can't bake it today, I'll have to do it next time."

He Xianqiu sighed: "Okay."

She is injured now, so it is not appropriate for her to stay in the mountains. We can only do it next time.

Ji Chenzhou put He Xianqiu on the stone, and He Xianqiu supported himself with his hands and sat on the stone.

Her attention was drawn to the pheasant in the trap and she stared at it.

Ji Chenzhou buried the pit and held the chicken in his hand.

The pheasant in Ji Chenzhou's hand felt her wolf-like gaze and trembled with fear. Its two little eyes were filled with fear and kept cackling.

Ji Chenzhou tied up the pheasant and then came to He Xianqiu.

But when Ji Chenzhou came up today, he didn't have a basket on his back. He frowned and said, "I don't have a basket on my back today, so I have no place to put the pheasants."

He Xianqiu saw that the two men didn't even have anything to pack their things, and didn't know how to release the pheasant.

Thinking that Ji Chenzhou was going to carry her on his back, he would definitely have no hands to hold it, so she would be the only one left. He Xianqiu swallowed her saliva. Was she going to hold the pheasant with her hands?

Thinking of this, He Xianqiu felt a chill, and after struggling for a while, she closed her eyes and said, "I'll take it."

We can’t just let go of the pheasant we caught with great difficulty.

Ji Chenzhou could see that He Xianqiu didn't dare to take it, but was forced to do so. He said, "Why don't we let him go? We can catch him next time we come."

The one I catch next time may not be this one, and it would be a pity to let go of the one I caught with great difficulty.

He Xianqiu took a deep breath, then said word by word: "No, it would be a pity to let it go. I'll take it. I can do it."

Seeing He Xianqiu's determined look, Ji Chenzhou could only say helplessly: "Okay, but if you're still scared after taking it, we'll let it go first."

He Xianqiu said softly: "Okay."

Ji Chenzhou carried He Xianqiu on his back and handed the tied pheasant to He Xianqiu. He Xianqiu shook his hands and took the pheasant.

Then Ji Chenzhou carried He Xianqiu on his back, with the fish cage hanging on his shoulder, and placed it in front.

He Xianqiu held a pheasant in one hand and a prickly ash wrapped in taro leaves in the other. The pheasant was screaming in fear, and the scream seemed to rush into He Xianqiu's head.

She was so scared that she almost threw the pheasant away, but thinking that she had caught it with great difficulty, she couldn't help but hold it tightly. In the countryside, she could only eat it a few times a year. Even if she wanted to go to the commune to enjoy a feast, she could only go once in a while.

He Xianqiu pouted. When had she ever done this to eat chicken before? In the past, she could have a banquet with a hundred chickens whenever she wanted, but now, in order to eat chicken, she insisted on carrying the chicken in her hands.

I used to live a life of drunkenness and dreams, but now that I have traveled back to the 1970s, I have to worry about all kinds of things. Not only do I have to boil water for a bath, I also have to wash my own clothes.

He Xianqiu carried the pheasant with a look of despair on his face, and carried it all the way down the mountain. During this time, the pheasant got tired of screaming and finally stopped.

Without the noise, He Xianqiu's ears finally felt comfortable, and then he thought viciously, I'm going to stew you next time, humph.

Ji Chenzhou carried He Xianqiu on his back. He walked very steadily and carried He Xianqiu down the mountain. Then he crossed the path and sent He Xianqiu to the team doctor's mud house.

As soon as he arrived at the team doctor's home, Ji Chenzhou knocked on the door, and after a while an old man wearing glasses came out.

The old man was dressed very simply and his hair was gray, but he looked very healthy, energetic and his eyes were sharp.

He looked at the two people outside the door calmly and said, "Come in."

Ji Chenzhou carried He Xianqiu in. He Xianqiu looked around the place. It was small but warm. He could smell a faint scent of Chinese medicine in the air.

The old man looked up at He Xianqiu and said, "Where are you injured?"

He Xianqiu said softly: "I sprained my ankle and can't walk now. My knees and hands hurt too."

The old man nodded, then turned and went in to get medicine for He Xianqiu.

Ji Chenzhou put He Xianqiu on the chair, then took the pheasant from her hand and put it on the ground. He Xianqiu said, "This grandpa has an extraordinary aura."

Ji Chenzhou said: "Grandpa Zhong's name is Zhong Yueqing. He used to be the director of Jingdu Hospital. He was sent to our brigade. Although he didn't have to live in the cowshed because he was a doctor, his life was better than that of the people in the cowshed. If he met unreasonable people, he would either not pay for their treatment or beat them up."

He Xianqiu frowned as he listened. What kind of person is this? So shameless. He is simply the real-life version of the farmer and the snake.

"How could there be such a person? But it will soon pass, and the dawn will soon come."

Mr. Zhong came out and heard her words. He shook his head and sighed, "Will there be another chance? I don't know when it will end. I don't know if my old bones can wait."

He Xianqiu looked at Mr. Zhong and said firmly, "It will be soon. Just wait until dawn."

Mr. Zhong smiled and said, "Okay."

Then he handed the potion in his hand to He Xianqiu and told her: "Apply it once a day, and if you sprain your foot, I will straighten your bones."

When He Xianqiu heard about bone correction, he became very nervous: "Is it necessary?"

I heard that bone setting is very painful, and He Xianqiu has always been afraid of pain.

“It’s a must.”

He Xianqiu could only stretch her feet nervously and then close her eyes tightly, as if this could reduce some of her pain.

Ji Chenzhou looked at her like this, pursed his lips slightly, and smiled.

Old Master Zhong twisted He Xianqiu quickly, and He Xianqiu felt a little pain, but it went away after a while.

She opened her eyes and said blankly, "Is it over?"

Mr. Zhong nodded: "It's over, you can walk now, but not too far."

He Xianqiu thought that having her bones straightened would be extremely painful, but she didn't expect it to be just like an ant bite. There was a slight pain, and then it was gone. She was almost unable to react.

He Xianqiu hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhong. How much is the medicine?"

Mr. Zhong glanced at her and said, "No need to give it."

He Xianqiu asked doubtfully: "Why?"

"Ji Chenzhou will give it to me when the time comes."

He Xianqiu nodded and said, "Okay."

Then after a few seconds, she realized why it was Ji Chenzhou who gave it.

Mr. Zhong looked at the pheasant tied to the ground. He glanced at it and said, "Are you still going to kill the chicken here as usual? Remember to share it with me when you cook it."

Ji Chenzhou was just about to say that this one wouldn’t work, let’s do it next time.

Then He Xianqiu heard it, she looked up at Ji Chenzhou and said, "Little Ji, how about we kill him here?"

Ji Chenzhou thought, this is fine, as long as He Zhiqing can eat it.

He nodded and said gently, "Okay."

When Mr. Zhong heard his voice, which couldn't be gentler, he was extremely surprised. When did Ji Chenzhou become so gentle and easy to get along with?

He has always been very silent and cold. When did he become so kind?

Mr. Zhong suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility: whether this boy liked this girl.

He looked at He Xianqiu with a scrutinizing look. This girl was very beautiful, as bright as a rose, eye-catching and colorful, with a good temperament. She was a typical beautiful lady in the world. He didn't know if this boy could catch her.

Then he stared at Ji Chenzhou straightly with a meaningful look on his face, which made Ji Chenzhou feel terrified, but also confused. What was that look from Mr. Zhong?

He Xianqiu also noticed the look in Mr. Zhong's eyes, but she just thought it was the first time he saw her, so she just observed her.

Although she had just washed herself at the riverside, her body was still very dirty. He Xianqiu couldn't accept that she was so dirty, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

She wanted to go back and change her clothes, but she couldn't walk far in her current situation. She could only look at Ji Chenzhou expectantly: "Xiao Ji, can you carry me back to the educated youth site?"

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and the more embarrassed she felt. She was really causing too much trouble for classmate Xiao Ji, but she felt really bad.

Then He Xianqiu suddenly thought that Ji Chenzhou had no one to carry her on the mountain, but now they were at the foot of the mountain, and if they went back to the educated youth point, they would meet many people from the brigade, and then there would be rumors about the two of them in the brigade.

It was indeed annoying to hear other people talking, and it would also affect Ji Chenzhou, so he might as well endure the pain and walk back.

Ji Chenzhou obviously thought of this, and he said, "Okay, I'll take you along a small path where no one passes by."

Then Ji Chenzhou squatted down and motioned He Xianqiu to come up quickly. There were other people nearby, and He Xianqiu felt inexplicably embarrassed.

But she still quickly lay on Ji Chenzhou's back. Ji Chenzhou carried her on his back and said to Mr. Zhong that he would be back soon and told her to deal with it first. Then he carried He Xianqiu on his back and walked towards the path.

Looking at the warm backs of the young men and women, Mr. Zhong smiled and shook his head: "These young people."
