"Comrade, I'll go back and call a doctor for you. You need to see a doctor right away."
"No, the doctor in your village can't save me. Do me a favor." Deng Chen said, pointing to his shirt and said, "I have a long pipe on my waist. Can you help me take it out? There is a box of matches in my shirt pocket. Just light the pipe and point it towards the sky."
Ying Han thought it was a flare, and as he said, he successfully launched the smoke tube into the sky.
After sitting back down, Ying Han still bandaged his wrist. At least it wouldn't get dirty now, and he could be treated well later.
"Are you from this village?" Deng Chen asked the young comrade in front of him in order to ease his pain and distract his attention.
Ying Han shook his head. "No, I'm an educated youth here. I've been here for a year. My family is from Z City. My name is Ying Han, Ying as in should, Han as in cold. What's your name, comrade?"
"Deng Chen, the Chen with a treasured head."
"Deng Chen," Ying Han murmured anxiously in his heart, "Thank you, Comrade Deng. I will remember you."
Deng Chen pursed his lips and smiled, "No need to remember me."
Deng Chen found that the little girl was fair and lovely, no wonder such a thing happened.
Suddenly remembering something, he pointed to a bag beside him and said, "There's a medicine bottle in here, take it out."
Ying Han thought it was his emergency medicine, so he quickly found it for him and asked, "Do you want to take it?"
Deng Chen shook his head. "This contains red powder. If you apply it to your face, it will deepen in color when it comes into contact with water. If you don't get it wet for 24 hours, it will fade on its own. I think you can use some of it on your face."
Ying Han immediately understood what he meant. A warm feeling instantly touched the depths of his heart. With red eyes, he said, "Thank you, Comrade Deng."
"A little girl, when you go out, you must pay attention to your safety." Deng Chen said, and told her how to use the medicine. "I can't give you this powder. I still have some. Apply some on your face. When you go back, wash it with water. The color will become darker."
"Thank you." Ying Han smiled and touched the back of his ear and cheek which had just been injured. He thought it was a good place to apply the medicine so that he could explain it when he got back.
Ying Han couldn't look in the mirror, so she just applied some casually. Deng Chen, who was standing beside her, took a look and frowned, "Come here." As he said that, when Ying Han came over, Deng Chen dipped some powder in the powder and helped her apply it on a large area of her left cheek. Only then was he satisfied.
"That's good."
Ying Han couldn't see any effect, so when he heard he said it was good, he stopped applying it and quickly put the powder into his bag.
"It's getting late, you should go back."
"But you..."
"My companion will come to find me after receiving my message. If nothing goes wrong, he will be here soon. You can go now."
Ying Han looked down at Zhu Liang and said "oh", as if he understood that he didn't want her to see his companion coming over.
"What about him?"
"None of your business. Don't say anything when you get back. Just say you haven't seen him. You haven't seen me either. Understand?"
Ying Han was surprised for a moment and wanted to ask something, but after meeting Deng Chen's dark eyes, he nodded subconsciously, "Comrade Deng, I'm leaving now."
Deng Chen nodded, "Yeah."
Ying Han was a little worried about him, but he had to leave at his request.
After walking a few steps, he came back and took out a few green dates from his pocket and put them in Deng Chen's hand. "I found these on a wild tree today. Eat them, big brother. They can replenish your blood."
Having said that, she glanced at the man who saved her from danger and strode away.
Deng Chen looked down at the green dates in his hand that were stained with blood donation, smiled slightly, and put one into his mouth as if he thought it was dirty.
As I looked up, something caught my eye.
Looking ahead, there is something glowing.
Deng Chen looked around.
He took a bent stick beside him and moved the shiny object over.
When I picked it up, I saw that it was a crescent-shaped pendant with a hint of green in blood-red, and a layer of blood stains on it.
This should be the place where the young comrade fell just now, and it should be Comrade Ying's things.
Deng Chen held it up in the air and shone a light on it, and found that the blood-red and green light inside were actually moving. The moving blood-red light was very magical.
Deng Chen didn't think too much about it. He put the pendant into the chest pocket of his clothes, regardless of the blood on the pocket, thinking that he would return it to the young comrade when they met in the future.
...
Ying Han ran back. She had to get back before the villagers got off work, otherwise if people saw her dressed like this, she would definitely be gossiped about.
When Ying Han found the flock of sheep, they were still eating grass there without any worries. He counted the sheep and when he had enough, he quickly drove them back to the cowshed.
"Hey, Hanhan, where are your clothes? Why are you dressed like this? What's wrong with your face?"
Ying Han saw that Li Peifang was the only one in the cowshed and breathed a sigh of relief. "Aunt Pei, I'll talk to you later. Please help me drive the sheep back to the sheepfold."
Li Peifang was stunned for a moment, and quickly helped her drive the sheep back to the sheepfold, and then pulled her back to the dilapidated thatched houses nearby.
"What's going on?"
"I was herding sheep just now when I accidentally fell into a valley. As a result, my clothes were torn and my face was injured. I finally climbed up, and my shirt was torn to pieces because I used it as a rope, so I just threw it away." Ying Han touched her injured face and took a breath when she touched the wound.
Li Peifang didn't bother to find out where she fell, but hurried to help her treat her wound out of concern.
Ying Han found one of his own shirts and put it on. Only then did he have time to look at his face in the mirror. He found that half of the left side of his face was covered with red powder by Deng Chen.
The location of her injury extended directly from behind her ear to the front of her cheek.
It's just a cut, nothing serious.
Li Peifang cleaned her face with water. "Hey, why can't I wipe off the red on your face? The more you wipe, the redder it gets. Where did you rub it? Why did you rub so much color?"
"Ah...I...I don't know either. Is it a lot?" Ying Han deliberately asked in surprise
"You see, the more you rub it, the worse it gets."
"Aunt Pei, it probably got rubbed against some plant and got stained. It's okay, it will go away in a few days." Ying Han made up an excuse and fooled Li Peifang.
If the pain didn't go away after a few days, she would just think she didn't know what was going on.
"Don't go too far when herding sheep next time, or your uncle and I will get worried."
"Yeah, I understand."
"I made dumpling soup. Let's just make do with it today. Food will be available in two days." Li Peifang also has a daughter, the only daughter in the family, who also went to the countryside.
The three members of the family are far apart. Although the couple have suffered a little, at least they are together and can take care of each other.
Her daughter is only sixteen years old and has never been separated from them since she was a child. This time she ran to Northeast China alone. What they are most worried about is her daughter.
But people like them don’t allow me to communicate, and now I don’t know how my daughter is doing.
Therefore, since Ying Han came, Li Peifang had someone to rely on. Seeing that Ying Han was two years younger than her daughter, she often took care of Ying Han in daily life.
In the shed, the easiest work was given to Ying Han.
