Thinking that things had already come to this, Chen Shuning stopped struggling and obediently nodded in agreement, but in her heart she was worried that she would not be able to go up the mountain with the other educated youths in the next few days.
It's a pity that so many good things on the mountain are lost. I wonder if she'll be able to go back into the mountains to collect wild produce once her foot heals. She really loves the feeling of collecting wild produce in the mountains.
Also, He Chaoyang didn't say a word on the way down the mountain, so Chen Shuning was too embarrassed to bring up the basket of chestnuts she had lost. Now that she thinks about it, she still feels a little regretful.
Looking out the car window at the distant Daqingshan Mountain, Chen Shuning felt a strange sense of happiness. Although this era lacked the convenience brought by modern technology, it also lacked the severely polluted spaces of modern society.
Although there were no abundant daily necessities, the food and daily necessities people used in this era were all organic foods that they might not be able to buy even if they spent a lot of money in modern times.
Chen Shuning is truly content with his current life. Although he is tired from work every day, this life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset is indeed very fulfilling.
Just like this Daqingshan Mountain in front of us, although there are many unknown dangers in the mountains, it has also provided mankind with abundant resources.
Just as Liu Shumei said, if they are diligent, they can find a lot of things before the heavy snow closes the mountain, which will ensure that their family will not go hungry all winter.
In winter, if we can go into the mountains with the village's old hunters, we can hunt a lot of game, such as pheasants and rabbits, which can improve our family's life.
Hunting was something Chen Shuning had never considered in the first place, given her small frame. She wasn't short of meat anyway. But now, the thought that she might not be able to go up the mountain for a long time because of her foot made her feel a little unhappy.
He Chaoyang returned shortly after leaving, and the first thing he saw when he opened the car door was Chen Shuning, who was gazing at Daqingshan with a resentful expression.
However, he was accompanied by a soldier of similar age to He Chaoyang and a young policeman in a public security uniform. So, although He Chaoyang found Chen Shuning's expression a bit strange, he didn't say anything.
However, the soldier who was about the same age as He Chaoyang kept turning around to look at Chen Shuning sitting in the back seat after he got on the bus.
Although the young policeman wasn't as blatant as the older soldier, as the driver, he still secretly glanced at Chen Shuning several times through the rearview mirror.
Chen Shuning was so impressed that she thought there was something on her face.
She turned to look at He Chaoyang beside her, wanting to ask if there was anything on her face.
But what caught their eye was He Chaoyang, who was covered in sweat. You should know that the daytime temperature in Heilongjiang Province is only around seven or eight degrees Celsius. Even walking on a mountain road, you shouldn't be sweating this much at this temperature.
Sensing something was wrong, Chen Shuning's gaze moved down from He Chaoyang's face and saw that He Chaoyang's military uniform collar was also soaked with sweat. Further down, he saw He Chaoyang's hand on his waist and abdomen, where the uniform was now stained with a large patch of bright red blood, which was still seeping out from between He Chaoyang's fingers.
"Brother He, are you injured?" Chen Shuning reached out to check He Chaoyang's injury, but then realized that she didn't seem to know how to treat wounds. She quickly took off the scarf around her neck and handed it to He Chaoyang. In her moment of panic, she didn't realize how nervous she looked.
She regretted not noticing sooner. If Brother He hadn't carried her down the mountain, would her wound have bled so much?
Furthermore, she doesn't even have a schoolbag with her now, and the water bottle she brought up the mountain was lost somewhere when she ran away. She also doesn't have a bamboo basket. Right now, even if she wanted to sneak some spiritual spring water from her space, she couldn't find anything to cover herself with.
Chen Shuning was secretly anxious, but He Chaoyang was overjoyed.
Seeing Chen Shuning's flustered hands and feet, not knowing where to put them, the slight stifling feeling she had just felt because of her looking at the young soldier instantly dissipated.
Without hesitation, He Chaoyang took the scarf Chen Shuning handed him and pressed it against the wound on his abdomen. Although the wound was not as painful as when he came down the mountain, it would not be good if the bleeding could not be stopped. So at this moment, He Chaoyang did not care about the scarf that the little girl had.
Having essentially stopped the bleeding for himself, He Chaoyang looked at Chen Shuning with a half-smile and asked, "Worried about me?"
At this moment, Chen Shuning's mind was focused on He Chaoyang's military uniform, which was stained with large patches of blood, and she did not pay attention to He Chaoyang's tone.
She casually replied, "How could I not worry after losing so much blood? Did you get hurt in the fight with that guy? You told me you were injured but didn't say anything, and you carried me all that way through the mountains. I...I..."
Hearing the little girl's voice trembling with anxiety, almost on the verge of tears, He Chaoyang couldn't bear to tease her any longer. He quickly explained, "It's not a recent injury, it's an old one. You probably accidentally pulled it when you were grabbing someone. It's really nothing, we'll just go to the hospital to get it re-bandaged later."
He Chaoyang's original intention was to comfort Chen Shuning, but to his surprise, Chen Shuning's face turned even paler after hearing what he said. "How serious must the old injury be to bleed so much? And why are you running around with injuries on your body? What were you thinking?"
He Chaoyang felt that his head hurt more than the wound on his waist, because he had no idea how to explain why his old injury was still bleeding so much.
How could he explain that his waist injury had actually been treated and bandaged, but because the wound was a bit deep, the fight might have torn it open again before it had fully healed, which was why he was bleeding so much?
