When Sui Yuzhu woke up again, she was in the tent again.
She didn't expect that she could sleep so soundly.
I don't even know how I was carried back.
There was no one in the tent, and I didn't know what time it was outside. I just felt very hungry.
My body seems to hurt even more than yesterday, and even getting up is difficult.
It seemed as if all the bones in the body were taken apart and reassembled.
There is no place that doesn't hurt.
Qin Yue and the others were not here, they must have gone to work.
They said they were on a geological survey mission.
Sui Yuzhu didn’t know what they did specifically, but she was not interested in their work.
There was some white porridge left in the pot outside, and she didn't ask for any pickles, so she just drank all the porridge in the pot.
After dinner, I took the pot and spoon to the spring to wash them.
By the way, I washed my face again.
Qin Yue only gave her a clean towel, but no other toiletries.
She guessed that they only had one set and they couldn't give her the one they had used, so she didn't give it to her.
I haven't brushed my teeth for several days and my mouth feels very uncomfortable.
She thought about going back to boil some water, making some warm salt water, and then using the gauze to wipe her teeth. It would be more comfortable than it was now.
Before we even reached the campsite, we saw two sneaky figures walking towards the tents.
Although it was only a back view, she could see it clearly.
He was thin and small, obviously not the tall Qin Yue and Xiang Dongfang.
He must be from the village!
She became alert instantly, squatted down quickly, hid herself in the bushes, and looked over there vigilantly.
The two men tiptoed into the tent and did not come out immediately.
It looks like he is searching for something inside.
I don’t know how long it took before the two of them came out cursing.
"Bah! You said you were from a big city! You don't have anything of value!"
"It's all in vain!"
The two men were cursing at each other.
It was not difficult to tell from their words that they came here to steal things.
Looking at their ugly faces and then at the wood-chopping knife not far away, Sui Yuzhu suddenly felt a trace of impulse and malice in her heart.
Just as she reached out to grab the knife, a hand held her hand down.
His fingers were long, but the joints were slightly thickened due to years of hard work, and there were slightly raised veins on the back of his hands.
Turning her head, she saw Qin Yue squatting behind her and shaking his head slightly at her.
His expression was serious and solemn.
She didn't know when he came back. She was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't hear anything at all.
She narrowed her eyes and withdrew her hand.
Seeing this, Qin Yue said softly, "Hide well, don't move."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the tent.
The two men were about to leave, but when they saw Qin Yue coming back, their faces showed panic.
Then he started laughing and joking.
Not a word was said about their recent theft.
Qin Yue directly exposed their plan.
"We are just here to work in the mountains. We don't bring anything valuable with us. Don't try to get anything out of us."
Qin Yue looked very calm, and his voice was filled with a hint of frost. "Our main force is in the north and will be here at any time."
Stop their thoughts and tell them that there is help on our side.
No matter how small a village is, there are still a hundred people. Now is not the time to confront them head-on.
The two wretched men laughed it off and said it was a misunderstanding and they were just looking for someone.
Qin Yue looked at them coldly: "Tell the people from your village not to harass us again. If they affect our work, the county will hold them accountable!"
The two men looked at each other, said nothing more, and left in shame.
After they left, Sui Yuzhu came out.
Seeing that she had been staring at the place where the two men disappeared, Qin Yue said softly: "It is not appropriate to conflict with them now."
Sui Yuzhu came back to her senses and nodded slightly.
She knew that Qin Yue was right.
"We are now speeding up the work and striving to complete it as soon as possible."
By then, we can go down the mountain earlier.
As he spoke, he glanced at Sui Yuzhu again.
At this moment, she was wearing his loose shirt, which made her already thin body look even weaker and thinner.
The pale little face was covered with bloodstains, looking extremely pitiful.
All the external ointment was used up last night.
What's more, she had other injuries on her body.
If I don’t go down the mountain quickly, I don’t know if it will delay the treatment time and leave sequelae.
Thinking of this, he felt a little more urgent.
After hearing his words, Sui Yuzhu raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes moving with earnestness.
"Is it for me?"
Looking at her glittering eyes, Qin Yue had no expression on his face. He turned his head away without answering.
However, the sharp-eyed Sui Yuzhu still noticed the red tips of his ears.
He went into the tent, picked up an instrument and came out.
"Want to come with me?" he asked.
He was a little worried that the villagers would come looking for him again when he was away.
Sui Yuzhu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a shooting star passed by, and her eyes flashed.
"May I?"
Qin Yue looked at her sparkling eyes and nodded involuntarily.
