Chapter 39: Rescue
At this moment, Chu Dagen's hand stopped, and slowly fell beside Lin Xi, Lin Xi's eyes widened, and he saw Chu Sheng holding a thick branch in both hands, panting desperately.
Seeing that Chu Dagen didn't move, Lin Xi was stunned for a long time, Chu Sheng threw down the stick, ran to Lin Xi's side, and asked anxiously: "Sister, how is it?"
Lin Xi lowered his eyes, trying to digest what had just happened, under Chu Sheng's repeated inquiries, Lin Xi slowly shook his head, Chu Sheng helped Lin Xi up, and asked, "Sister, can you go?" Lin Xi felt that all the strength in her body had been drained, and she said in a hoarse voice, "I want to sit for a while." Chu Sheng looked around, there was no place to rest.
He half-supported and half-hugged Lin Xi to a hidden place, where there was a mountain rock, barely able to sit. Lin Xi sat on the stone to rest, Chu Sheng half-knelt beside her, and said apologetically: "Sister, are you okay, I'm sorry, sister, I shouldn't have left you." Lin Xi squeezed his hand tightly and muttered, "It's okay, this is an accident." What I know is an accident. Lin Xi said this to Chu Sheng, and he was also comforting himself.
"Sister, I'm sorry. Chu Sheng scolded himself thousands of times in his heart. Lin Xi didn't want to see the little boy's guilt, so he reached out and touched Chu Sheng's face and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Chu Sheng was also frightened, he saw that when Chu Dagen held down his sister, he had the heart to kill. He clenched his fists and held back the monstrous anger in his heart, the little boy lowered his head, hid the chill in his eyes, and said, "Sister, you sit for a while, I'll go see that guy." Seeing that Chu Sheng was leaving, Lin Xi instinctively grabbed Chu Sheng's sleeve. Chu Sheng closed his eyes, adjusted his facial expression, turned his head, held Lin Xi's hand and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'll be back soon, I'm going to see him, so as not to get into trouble." ”
Lin Xi's sluggish brain began to work, and he slowly let go of his hand. Yes, it can't happen. Chu Sheng didn't know where he hit the stick just now? What happened to Chu Dagen, he wouldn't be killed, right? If he was killed, what would he do? Chu Sheng couldn't go to jail, then the child would be ruined, and the things he caused couldn't implicate the child.
While Lin Xi was thinking wildly, Chu Sheng came back and brought back the basket she had left behind.
Lin Xi stood up, grabbed Chu Sheng's hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "How is it, is he dead?" "Sister, don't worry, how can I have so much strength, I just fainted." I moved him somewhere, and it's fine. Chu Sheng's face relaxed. When Lin Xi heard this, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Chu Sheng held Lin Xi's hand and tried to comfort her, Lin Xi sat for a while, barely calming down, and now she wanted to go home. Chu Sheng patted Lin Xi's hand and said, "Sister, you wait for me for a while, and I'll be back immediately." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
As soon as Chu Sheng left, Lin Xi's heart was beating so fast, she was scared, she would never come to this strange place again. Fortunately, after a while, Chu Sheng came back with a handful of green plants. Lin Xi looked at a handful of weeds and asked, "What is this?" Chu Sheng said: "This is the snake tongue grass, I just saw it and picked it, but I didn't expect it to ........." Lin Xi felt Chu Sheng's guilt, and wanted to smile, as soon as she pulled the corner of her mouth, she felt a burst of pain, and hurriedly covered her beaten face, her cheeks were hot, Lin Xi knew how heavy the slap was.
Chu Sheng looked at Lin Xi's embarrassed appearance and said, "Sister, let's go back, you have a good rest, I'll ask Doctor Song to come over and show you." "Don't!" Lin Xi's reaction was extremely fierce. Chu Sheng was startled, and hurriedly coaxed her: "Okay, okay, then I'll take a hot towel and apply it to my sister when I go back, and it will also reduce the swelling." Lin Xi nodded. She didn't want anyone to see her embarrassed appearance.
Lin Xi had a kinship with the place just now, and Chu Sheng saw Lin Xi's thoughts. took Lin Xi back from another way.
When he got home, Lin Xi leaned on the kang weakly, Chu Sheng wrung a hot towel to put a hot towel on Lin Xi's face, and Lin Xi twitched in pain. The messy hair, red and swollen eyes, and the purple face all show the violence that Lin Xi has suffered. Chu Sheng was also beaten, and even more seriously injured. However, he had never been so painful as he was now, like a thin needle piercing into his heart, and then stirring up in it until the flesh was blurred and then pulled out. That's how Chu Sheng felt, although there was no other expression on his face other than worry.
Chu Sheng brought hot water, and Lin Xi drank half a cup, and the tiredness made her listless and drowsy. Chu Sheng put the thin quilt on the kang on Lin Xi's body, lightly withdrew from the house, boiled a pot of red date porridge, steamed a few steamed buns, Chu Sheng looked at the flames coming out of the stove, and the red eyes of the young man lined with them were like Satan in hell.
Faintly he heard something, threw down the firewood stick in his hand, Chu Sheng rushed into Lin Xi's room, Lin Xi slept in a daze, but tears slipped down the corners of her eyes. Lin Xi has always been strong and brave enough, but today's events have left a wound in her heart. It is rare to show his weakness and helplessness, and Lin Xi in a coma will not know, this is the last straw that crushes his reason for Chu Sheng.
Chu Sheng walked to Lin Xi's side lightly, patted her on the back gently, the young man's voice was still a little immature, and he gently hummed a nursery rhyme he had heard. Lin Xi slowly quieted down in a soothing voice. Chu Sheng's eyes were sharp, but the singing voice he hummed was clean and pure, and such a strange scene did not have the slightest sense of peace in this young man's body. Confirm that Lin Xi has fallen asleep. Chu Sheng tidied up his clothes and closed the courtyard door.
Chu Dagen leaned on a mountain rock, he opened his eyes, the scene in front of him was a little blurry, and he vaguely saw a person standing in front of him, Chu Dagen wanted to get up, but he was weak. He moved his mouth, barely making a sound: "Who's where?" A vague shadow took a few steps forward, and a cold body came: "Are you awake? ”
"Chu Sheng, you white-eyed wolf, you dare to beat me, you wait, I'll sue you when I turn around." Chu Dagen held his breath in his heart, but the words he said at this time were all difficult to pop out, and his voice was dry.
"Sue me, do you have the strength to go down the mountain?" Chu Sheng's tone was full of provocation. Chu Dagen knew that he was cheated by this kid. There is a common plant on Shuangping Mountain called Quercus monca. Its fruit and sap have a paralyzing effect, and the villagers who live nearby know it and generally avoid it intentionally. It is estimated that this kid used this to incapacitate himself.
Chu Dagen was angry in his heart, and scolded angrily: "Carry me off, or I will tell others that your sister seduced me, and I will let her be ruined, and let the people of the Revolutionary Committee arrest her." When the time comes, I'll see where you live, who will protect you?"
Chu Sheng played with the oak in his hand, and in a small branch, white juice flowed out of the fracture, and this juice only needed a little to produce a paralyzing effect. Listening to Chu Dagen's words, Chu Sheng looked at Chu Dagen with cold eyes, and walked towards him slowly, Chu Dagen also realized the danger and was about to call for help, Chu Sheng suddenly made a move, fixed his neck, and stuffed the branch into his mouth. Soon, Chu Dagen was speechless, and finally collapsed on the ground, and could only look at the indifferent young man with resentful eyes. Chu Sheng looked at Chu Dagen's embarrassed appearance, his heart was happy, and he walked into a bush with Chu Dagen on his back.
After a long while, Chu Sheng walked out, and he left Chu Dagen in the bushes. Chu Sheng didn't want to kill Chu Dagen, but he wanted to delay the time when he was discovered. Quercus will make people paralyzed, and if he can't deal with this amount of himself, if he can't deal with it in time, the juice will completely damage his throat, and he will not be able to speak in the future, so that his sister will be safe, no one can pour dirty water on his sister, and no one can destroy his home.
When Lin Xi woke up, Chu Sheng was washing clothes in the yard, just now Lin Xi's clothes were stained with mud, and when he came back, Lin Xi soaked his clothes in a basin of water, but he didn't expect Chu Sheng to wash them.
Lin Xi regained his spirit and wanted to do something. How could Chu Sheng be willing to let Lin Xi do the work, and pushed Lin Xi into the house: "Sister, go rest, I've finished the meal, don't worry about it." Lin Xi had no choice but to go into the house to rest, and before he sat down for a while, Yuan He came over with two hares. Chu Sheng stopped Yuan He and said, "Sister is not feeling well today, you go cook by yourself." ”
"Yo, what's wrong with her? Since she's not feeling well, I'm going to see her, if not, I'm going to see a doctor, and if we don't have medicine, we'll go to town, and we can't delay the condition." "Yuan He is really worried about Lin Xi, this girl can get sick after a day's work, which shows that this foundation is really weak. Chu Sheng was about to stop, but he heard Lin Xi in the house say, "Chu Sheng, you greet Yuan Zhiqing, I'll come out later." Chu Sheng was in a hurry, his sister's face was so swollen, how could he see people? But in front of Yuan He, he couldn't say anything, so he could only secretly curse Yuan He for not having an eye.
Lin Xi in the house heard their conversation and knew Chu Sheng's intentions, but if she didn't go out, Chu Sheng might not be able to stop everyone, if she saw the injury on her face, Chu Dagen's affairs would definitely not be hidden, and the best way was to go out by herself.
Yuan He and Wang Yuan, a few educated youths, were worried about Lin Xi, and they inquired about Lin Xi's situation with Chu Sheng, who was holding back his anger and was about to have a seizure.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Xi came out. Chu Sheng was stunned when he saw Lin Xi, the redness and swelling on Lin Xi's face had subsided, and he looked a little weak. Yuan He stepped forward to look at Lin Xi's slightly pale face, and asked with concern: "I heard Chu Sheng say that you are sick, do you want to see a doctor, I will borrow a bicycle and take you to the hospital, okay?" Lin Xi smiled: "No, I was tired from going up the mountain today, and my legs hurt a little." ”
Seeing that Lin Xi was fine, Yuan He was relieved, and pretended to complain to her: "Surprise me, we went up the mountain today, caught two rabbits, and got some bird eggs, if you are sick, you will not be happy." ”
Lin Xi pretended to be excited and said, "You guys are really good, I heard that rabbits are not easy to catch." "It was Brother Yuan who took us under the set, and then we caught two, Brother Yuan said that your skills are good, so we came cheekily." Wang Yuan desperately said good things to Yuan He, and Lin Xi looked at the two rabbits, one was dead, and the other was still alive.
