Lu Che got Jiang Yao ashore and wanted to leave, but when he saw her wet dress sticking to her body, he felt pity for her.
He took her hands, threw them onto his shoulders, lifted her up like a pig, and walked towards his home.
Lu Qing coaxed the two children to sleep, and when she was about to lie down, she remembered that Lu Che had been slacking off for a long time and had not returned yet. She was worried, so she got up and went out to check.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the main room, she saw Lu Che walking into the yard with a woman on his shoulders.
"What's going on?" Lu Qing rushed forward.
Lu Che didn't have time to explain, he just said: "Take her to my aunt's room first, don't wake up grandma, I'll tell you later."
"Okay." Lu Qing nodded. Although it was hard not to think too much in this situation, she believed in her brother's character.
She walked ahead and opened Lu Yuan's door first.
After laying Jiang Yao flat on the big bed, Lu Qing could see her face clearly in the light of the kerosene lamp. He asked in surprise, "Isn't this the educated youth from the city, Jiang Yao?"
Although Jiang Yao had only been in the production team for two or three months, everyone in the team, young or old, knew this educated youth. After all, her appearance and figure were hard to forget once you saw her.
"Yeah." Lu Che responded, "I was just fishing in the pond, and she suddenly jumped in. She looked a little abnormal. I guess she was drugged, so I knocked her out in a hurry."
"Did she drug her?" Lu Qing widened his eyes in horror, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He held the kerosene lamp close to Jiang Yao's head and took a closer look. Sure enough, he saw that her cheeks were abnormally red.
Lu Qing raised her hand and touched Jiang Yao's face. It was indeed a little hot. She turned to Lu Che and said, "I'll change her into clean clothes first. Go and ask the barefoot doctor to come over and see how to deal with it."
"Okay." Lu Che turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Qing reminded him again: "Don't tell anyone. If this gets out, it will damage the girl's reputation."
"I know." Lu Che walked out, and just as he reached the door he heard Lu Qing calling him, "You're all wet, go change your clothes first."
"It's no problem." Lu Che responded and walked away without looking back.
He started jogging as soon as he got out of the door, but he hadn't run far when he ran into Chen Shuanglian, a member of the same production team.
Chen Shuanglian hadn't played mahjong for a long time because she had been busy harvesting rice for nearly half a month. Today, she finally finished harvesting rice. No matter how tired she was, she couldn't resist the urge to play mahjong. She went out to play mahjong after dinner.
But everyone was tired and had to leave after playing a few rounds. She was still not satisfied, but it didn't matter if she left, after all, she won money.
With the fifty cents she won tonight, Chen Shuanglian was in such a good mood that she felt like floating in the air. However, she did not expect to meet Lu Che, a second-rate guy. She was so unlucky.
When she passed by Lu Che, she cursed him with contempt, "A second-rate guy came out so late at night, he must be doing something bad," and spat on the ground.
Lu Che didn't respond, but glanced at her coldly.
Chen Shuanglian was a notorious shrew in the production team, but this one glance was enough to make her heart tremble.
Lu Che didn't bother with her, turned around and continued running forward.
Chen Shuanglian heaved a sigh of relief only after he ran away, but she was still mad at him and continued to curse at him.
It was late at night, and there was no one living nearby, so no matter how hard she cursed, there was only air as the audience. After a while, she got tired of cursing and went home in shame.
Barefoot doctor Zhang Meifang lived not far away. When Lu Qing helped Jiang Yao change her clothes and dried her hair half dry, Lu Che invited her over.
When Lu Che knocked on Zhang Meifang's door, he said that his child was not feeling well and asked her to come over, but he had already explained the whole story to her on the way.
Zhang Meifang checked Jiang Yao after entering the room. After a while, she said, "She is fine. She just fainted. It's better this way. If she is awake, it will be more difficult to treat. By the time she wakes up tomorrow, the effect of the medicine will probably have worn off."
"That's good." Lu Qing thanked Zhang Meifang, "Doctor Zhang, you've been exhausted all day. I asked you to come here so late at night. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay." Zhang Meifang didn't care, and said, "It's a blessing in disguise for Jiang Zhiqing to meet you tonight. If she had fallen into the hands of someone else, she wouldn't dare to think about it. Who did it? We won't know until she wakes up. Maybe even she doesn't know who it was."
"But no matter what, we should keep this to ourselves unless it is necessary, otherwise it will affect her reputation."
"We know, don't worry, Doctor Zhang." Lu Qing quickly responded, "We won't keep you any longer this late, let Lu Che take you home."
**
When Jiang Yao woke up, she felt the light was very dazzling. After trying to adapt for a while, she slowly opened her eyes and saw a slightly yellowed mosquito net.
She looked around the room. The blue brick walls, the retro-style wooden dressing table, the table, the chairs and the big bed were exactly the same as the layout style in the period dramas that her grandfather liked to watch.
She sat up in shock and pinched her arm hard, the pain was so severe that tears were about to come out.
In addition, the memories that did not belong to her flooded into her mind one after another, all pointing to an unbelievable fact: she had traveled through a book, into a period novel that she had been reading recently.
She was on vacation during this period and had planned to travel with her best friend, but her best friend suddenly received a business trip and left her at home. So she recommended a period novel to her to help her pass the time.
She didn't have much interest in watching it at first, but her memory was so good that she memorized the entire plot after watching it once.
The original owner has been a beauty since she was young. Although her parents passed away two years ago, her brother Jiang Zhen is a capable man. He has been in the army for several years and is now the regiment commander.
She could have been exempted from going to the countryside because Jiang Zhen, an old leader, transferred to the provincial capital to be a factory director and could arrange for her to work in the factory. But she followed her classmate, the hero of the book, Zhao Pengfei, to the countryside in pursuit of love.
But her affectionate pursuit did not elicit a response from Zhao Pengfei, because he always regarded her as a good friend, and he also met his destined woman here, the heroine of this book, Du Yuejia.
Zhao Pengfei and Du Yuejia appreciated and supported each other during the difficult years in the countryside, and naturally came together.
But even so, she did not give up. She used her identity as a good friend to stay by Zhao Pengfei's side. When he and Du Yuejia quarreled and had conflicts, she always played the role of a caring confidante.
She used her full-level skill of gossiping to comfort Zhao Pengfei, and quietly sowed discord between him and Du Yuejia.
Although Zhao Pengfei finally chose Du Yuejia, he kept juggling between the two women, which made Jiang Yao want to call him "the scumbag of the century".
Knowing that Du Yuejia was afraid of the original owner's existence, he used all kinds of lame excuses to say that he couldn't give up this pure friendship. Didn't he know that married men should avoid suspicion?
Such a man can be the male lead. Jiang Yao feels that the author's worldview needs to be rebuilt.
The more Jiang Yao thought about it, the angrier she got. But now was not the time to focus on this. Even if she didn't want to admit it, it was a fact that she had traveled through a book, and she didn't know how to return to the real world for a while. She had to plan for her future life.
There was a mirror on the dressing table in the room. She looked carefully at the woman in the mirror. She looked almost the same as before, except that she was much younger. After all, she was only nineteen years old.
With a flamboyant and beautiful face and thin arms and legs, it is not easy to survive in this countryside where resources are scarce and physical labor is dominant. The fact that Du Yuejiao can easily get MEI drugs further illustrates the danger of this countryside.
"Jiang Zhiqing, are you awake?" Jiang Yao looked up and saw a woman walking in with a bowl.
The woman was wearing black pants and a white shirt. Although she was very plain, it could not hide her gentle and beautiful temperament. She did not find any information matching her identity in the original owner's memory, so she could only whisper, "Hello! Who are you?"
Lu Qing put the bowl on the table and smiled at her, "I'm Lu Qing. My brother Lu Che brought you back last night. Because of the special circumstances, he had no choice but to knock you out. I hope you can understand."
Lu Che? Isn't he the biggest villain in this book? It turns out that he was the one who saved me last night.
He has almost no role in the first half of the original book, but has quite a few in the second half.
He had a bad background and was a well-known troublemaker in Qingyuan Village, but he was also smart and wise enough. He later became a business tycoon, and Zhao Pengfei was suppressed by him when he started his own business.
Originally, Lu Che had no grudge against Zhao Pengfei, but he had always been cooperating with his cousin Lu Qianyuan, and Lu Che had a deep grudge against Lu Qianyuan's family. When he suppressed Lu Qianyuan, Zhao Pengfei was affected.
"It's okay. I should thank him." Jiang Yao didn't know how long she would live here. If she could never go back, she certainly couldn't offend the iron-blooded business community.
After all, he would not blink an eye when it came to revenge.
"You don't have to be so polite. In that situation, it's his duty to help. Doctor Zhang came to see you last night. She said that you'll be fine after the medicine has worn off. I think you should be fine now."
Lu Qing picked up the bowl and handed it to her, "Drink the porridge and go back. Don't worry, my brother, Dr. Zhang and I will keep it a secret about what happened last night."
"Thank you." Jiang Yao was really hungry and took the bowl without hesitation.
"I don't have anything to treat you at home, just a bowl of porridge. I hope you don't mind." Lu Qing said.
"No, I'm sorry for the expense." Jiang Yao was not being polite. Although it was just a bowl of white porridge, it was thick and thick, so a lot of rice must have been put in it. It was dotted with a handful of pickled vegetables, which made people's appetite increase just by looking at it.
After finishing the porridge, she thanked Lu Qing again and asked, "Excuse me, is your brother at home? If he is, I would like to thank him in person and then go back."
She didn't know what time it was, but since she hadn't returned home all night, there would definitely be some commotion at the educated youth center.
"He went out early in the morning. You don't have to be so polite. Go back first." Lu Qing handed her skirt over. "I washed it last night and blew it all night. It's dry now."
"Okay, thank you."
When Jiang Yao changed her clothes and opened the door, Lu Qing was standing outside. She said, "I'll go outside first. Make sure there's no one outside before you go out."
"Okay." Jiang Yao nodded.
"Okay, let's go."
Jiang Yao and Lu Qing walked out side by side. When they were almost at the door, Lu Qing said again: "I don't know which person with a conscience was responsible for what happened last night. Anyway, you should be more careful in the future. If you need help, just let me know."
"..." As someone whose conscience had been eaten by a dog, Jiang Yao's mouth twitched and he stammered, "I... don't know either."
"There's nothing I can do about it. You just have to be more careful next time." Lu Qing reached out to open the door, but it was pushed open at that moment.
Jiang Yao looked up and saw the man who emerged from the water last night standing outside the door.
He was tall and slender, and although his clothes were covered in patches, they could not hide his well-defined muscles. She couldn't help but think of the moment when he emerged from the water last night, his wet clothes sticking to his body, revealing the muscular lines of his upper body.
Stop!!!
Jiang Yao, what are you thinking about? Could it be that after a night, the effect of the drug has not worn off yet?
Realizing the dirty thoughts in her heart, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel her cheeks getting hot.
"Where have you been so early in the morning?" Just as Lu Qing finished speaking, an old man's voice came from inside.
"Grandma is looking for me. Please send Jiang Zhiqing out. Remember, don't let her go unless there is anyone outside." Lu Qing had just finished giving her instructions when Grandma Lu called her again. She answered loudly and ran inside in a hurry.
Suddenly, Jiang Yao and Lu Che were the only ones left in the huge yard. Especially since she had thrown herself into his arms last night, she felt really ashamed.
The atmosphere was awkwardly silent. Jiang Yao was the first to break the silence. She bowed slightly to Lu Che and said sincerely, "Thank you so much for last night!"
There was a hint of surprise in Lu Che's cold eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He said nothing, turned around and stuck his head out, observing for a while before turning his head back and saying, "There's no one outside now, hurry up and leave."
"Okay." Jiang Yao agreed and walked out, but before she could even step out, Lu Che stopped her and said, "Wait."
"What's that..." Jiang Yao turned around, and before she could finish her words, a small piece of pork hung by a straw rope appeared in front of her.
Lu Che: "When we get back to the educated youth camp, if anyone asks you about it, just say that you got up early in the morning and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat."
"..." Is this really a villain? He is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She is moved!
