Gu Xi was a little confused when she heard that they had gone into the mountains: "I saw Yin Jie working in the fields this morning. Don't they go into the mountains at night? Why did they go in the afternoon today?"
Grandma Yin saw Sheng Huaian bring out the dishes and hurried over to help. Sheng Huaian said, "Grandma, don't move. It's just a dish. Just sit down. You've been busy at home all day."
Grandma Yin was very satisfied with other people's children: "Huaian is so good, I wish my little boy could be half as sensible as you.
In the afternoon, Wan Hexing came hurriedly and called him away. He just said he went into the mountains and didn't say anything else. "
Seeing that they were getting ready to eat, Gu Xi said goodbye and left quickly.
When they returned to the courtyard, Wang Xu also happened to come back and saw Gu Xi coming back from outside: "Did you go out for a free meal?"
Gu Xi denied: "I went to return the empty bowl to Grandma Yin. I haven't eaten the porridge and kimchi yet. I'm going to eat them for dinner, otherwise they'll go bad."
Wang Xu took out two packed dishes: "I came back late today and didn't have time to cook, so I bought some ready-made ones, such as beans and pork ribs, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Gu Xi looked at the two generously portioned dishes. The portions in the state-owned restaurant at that time were really generous. "I'm afraid it will be wasted if you can't finish it. You should eat more. You've been so tired these past two days. Are you going to town tomorrow?"
Wang Xu poured the food onto a plate and said, "No need to go. I'll finish debugging today and come back the day after tomorrow. I'll bring someone to collect it."
Gu Xi drank a mouthful of porridge and ate a bite of tomato scrambled eggs: "I don't think this tomato scrambled eggs is as delicious as yours. Do you have enough tickets? I'll give you two later. Brothers should be clear about accounts."
Wang Xu didn't want her to be embarrassed, so he could only accept it: "Okay, you can give it as you see fit."
Yin Jie rushed in from outside: "Brother Xu, please come and help. Wan Xi is missing. Wan Zi and I have been looking for her for the whole afternoon but couldn't find her."
Wang Xu hadn't even eaten a bite of rice when he heard this and quickly put down his chopsticks: "Why is Wan Xi gone?"
Yin Jie rushed over, picked up Wang Xu's bowl and took a big gulp of porridge: "I'm hungry and thirsty. Wan Xi said she wanted to pick some wild vegetables and went there often, so she didn't accompany me.
At noon, Wanzi went home and found that Wanxi had not come back yet, so he went to look for her, but couldn't find her. He quickly came back and asked me to help look for her. We searched for the whole afternoon but still couldn't find her, so we had to come back to ask for help. Brother Xu, you are most familiar with the mountains, so please help us look for her. "
Wang Xu didn't even think twice: "Let's go."
Gu Xi hurriedly stopped them, "You haven't even eaten a single bite yet. You two should finish your steamed buns and porridge first. Eat quickly. This minute won't hurt."
Gu Xi went into the kitchen and brought out the remaining porridge. Yin Jie was also very hungry and was called away without having eaten lunch: "Eat something. I feel like I'm going to faint from hunger."
Gu Xi wrapped two steamed buns in brown paper and filled Wang Xu's kettle with water and took them with her: "Take them for Wan Hexing to eat. I'll go with you to look for it. There's strength in numbers."
Wang Xu disagreed: "What are you going to do? You have never been in the mountains and you are not familiar with them. I have to take care of you."
Gu Xi thought so too, so she didn't insist: "Then you guys be careful."
Watching the two of them hurried out, Gu Xi was also worried about Wan Xi, but she couldn't help. She took out the iodine, cotton swabs, and gauze from the box and put them on the table in case they needed them.
Then she took a shower. She didn’t know how the search was going. Gu Xi waited until she was sleepy but there was still no news, so she could only go to sleep.
I was half asleep when I was awakened by a knock on the door: "Gu Xi, wake up, Wan Xi is injured, go and help treat the wound."
Gu Xi woke up suddenly, and it was not convenient for Wang Xu to go into the house so he shouted outside. Gu Xi hurriedly replied: "I'll put on some clothes."
I changed my clothes as quickly as possible and picked up the medicine on the table: "Bring a hot water bottle with you, in case I need to wash myself. I'm afraid there's no hot water at his house."
Wang Xu brought a thermos and a flashlight: "Hold on to me. It's hard to walk at night. I'm afraid you'll trip."
Gu Xi didn't act pretentiously. She reached out and grabbed Wang Xu's arm. Compared to falling like a dog and eating shit, grabbing an arm was nothing.
When Gu Xi entered the room and saw Wan Xi's condition, she was still shocked. There were abrasions of varying degrees on her forehead and face, some of which were still bleeding.
Gu Xi took Wan Xi's towel and washbasin, mixed hot and cold water, wet the towel, helped her wipe the dirt off her face, and then used iodine to help apply medicine.
Then she undressed Wan Xi and couldn't help but gasp again. There were bruises of all sizes on her body, but fortunately there was no fracture. There was a deeper wound on her leg. Gu Xi cleaned the wounds, which must have been very painful. Wan Xi cried out in pain in a daze but didn't wake up. Gu Xi helped her apply iodine.
After calling out Wanxi a few more times, the girl slowly woke up. She frowned with pain all over her body, "It hurts so much."
Gu Xi quickly stopped her from touching the wound: "Don't move, you're seriously injured. I just applied medicine on you, don't touch it."
Wan Xi looked at Gu Xi and burst into tears. She was frightened and said, "I thought I was dead."
Gu Xi touched her forehead and found that she didn't have a fever: "Don't be afraid, you're back. Your brother and the others have been looking for you for a long time. Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
Wan Xi wiped away her tears and calmed herself down: "I'm hungry, but I want to go out to eat. I'm afraid my brother will worry."
When Gu Xi walked out of the house, she saw Wan Hexing walking around in circles, and she was very worried: "Gu Zhiqing, how is my sister?"
Gu Xi quickly comforted her, "It's nothing serious, just external injuries from scratches. Only her right ankle is a little swollen. I'm not sure if it's a sprain or a fracture. She's hungry, so get her something to eat first. She's been hungry all day. I'll ask her about it later."
Wan Hexing heard that he was fine and was hungry, so he hurried to the kitchen to cook. Wang Xu saw that the house was empty and said, "I bought some food from the state-owned restaurant tonight. I'll go back and heat it up. You light a fire first. By the time you start cooking again, it will be daybreak."
Gu Xi turned back to the house and saw Wan Xi sitting there weakly: "Are you feeling any discomfort somewhere else? Lift your right leg and turn it around. How does it feel? And your ribs were hit pretty hard. If it hurts so much that you can't move, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. If it's broken, it will be troublesome."
Wan Xi was helped by Gu Xi to slowly sit up. She slowly turned her ankle and still gasped in pain. Gu Xi helped her walk down the ground. Her foot hurt as she walked. "Why don't you ask your brother to take you to the hospital? If it's a fracture, you need a cast."
Gu Xi waited for Wan Xi to change her clothes, and then helped her out of the room with difficulty. Wan Hexing came over immediately and wanted to carry Wan Xi to the table, but when he touched her wound, it hurt so much that he was immediately pushed away: "Don't carry me, I will walk slowly by myself. It hurts when you touch my wound."
Wan Hexing was at a loss as to what to do and helped Wan Xi sit down: "How are you? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Gu Xi looked at Wan Xi's difficulty in moving and said, "I think we should go to the hospital. Do you want to ride a bicycle? I'll lend you my bicycle."
Wan Xi ate some food and felt much better: "No, I'll observe for a day or two. If it still hurts, I'll go again. I don't think it's a fracture, just a severe sprain."
Gu Xi did not comment much: "Be careful not to leave any sequelae, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."
Wan Hexing was also worried: "Are you really not going to the hospital? Let Brother Xu take you there, don't become a cripple and be unable to get married."
