In the village, the boy put down the firewood and let Lin Che and Gu Jingze go in. The village wasn't big and they could see the end of it at a glance. Some people had already lived in brick houses, but there were also some dilapidated mud houses among them. It was cooking time, and there was smoke everywhere, making people feel like they were in a world of fireworks.
Lin Che looked at it and felt like he hadn't lived a good life for a long time.
Seeing this village again, he felt that this was the real world and that his life was like a dream.
In fact, after meeting Gu Jingze, her life was like a dream.
She was living a life that she had never imagined before, a life that was getting more and more detached from the real world.
She sighed and watched the boy bring her inside. He said, "My name is Wang Dong. You can call me Dongzi. That's my grandmother inside."
The old woman was holding a walking stick and had white hair. She looked like she was in her eighties.
"Dongzi, why didn't you tell me that you brought someone back? There's no rice at home."
Dongzi said, "I'm going to the store to buy some now. Grandma, they were kidnapped by kidnappers. That person seems to be dying."
"Oh my, what a sin. Hurry up and help him to lie down," the old woman said hurriedly when she saw Gu Jingze.
Dongzi said, "My dad went to pick up my sister. She's going to school in town and will be back soon. You guys rest here first. I'll go buy some rice."
Lin Che quickly thanked him. After thinking for a while, he took out a watch from his pocket.
She had swiped it directly when Li Mingyu was shopping with her at the mall. She didn't even ask how much it cost, but it definitely wouldn't be low.
She said, "Do you have a pharmacy here?"
"There's only a small pharmacy at the entrance of the village."
"This is for you. Look at the top. It's platinum. Can you help me ask for some medicine and gauze?"
Dongzi looked at it and said, "This watch is so beautiful. It must be very valuable. I still have money at home. I'll go and buy medicine."
Dongzi pushed the watch back to Lin Che. Lin Che thought for a moment and said, "Then this watch is for you. If you take it to the city, you should be able to exchange it for a lot of money. This is a famous watch from Switzerland. Even if you can't exchange it for much, you should be able to exchange it for a few hundred."
Dongzi looked at it and didn't want it. Lin Che said, "Just keep it. Otherwise, I'll feel really guilty. I'll feel really bad if I trouble you like this."
Dongzi could only say, "Then I'll take it first."
Lin Che smiled at him.
After Dong Zi left, the old granny brought a basin and a towel and asked Lin Che to wipe his body.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. He lowered his head to wet the towel and wrung it dry. He held Gu Jingze's hand and wiped it with the back of his hand. He felt sad and worried.
There were stains all over it, and it was hard to tell how many injuries there were.
However, every scratch on it was like a needle piercing her heart.
"Gu Jingze, you have to get better. Get better. Do you hear me …" she murmured. She lowered her head to take off his clothes and wiped him.
Although there weren't any major injuries, there were small bruises everywhere, especially on his chest and stomach. It was obvious that he had been punched and beaten. She couldn't tell if there was any internal bleeding, but she touched his stomach. It was still soft. Even if there was internal bleeding, it shouldn't be very serious.
She was a little relieved, but her heart still ached for every inch of injury on his body.
After wiping his face clean, the old granny looked at him and said, "Aiyo, such a handsome child. How did he get beaten up like this?"
Lin Che's eyes welled up as he listened. He said to the old granny, "Because those people are really bad."
The old granny said, "It's really pitiful. How did you meet kidnappers? Miss, are you okay?"
"Thank you, Granny. I'm fine."
Just then, Dongzi's father came back with Dongzi's sister. He was also very puzzled when he saw Lin Che and Gu Jingze, who was lying there covered in injuries.
They only understood after the old granny explained it to them.
Dongzi's father was a little reluctant. He looked at the two of them and said to the old granny in a low voice, "Dongzi is really too much. We don't even know who they are, so we brought him back."
The old granny said, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. We can't just leave him to die."
"Who knows if he's a good person or a bad person? There are so many liars nowadays."
When Dongzi's sister saw Gu Jingze, she immediately became concerned. The twelve-year-old girl exclaimed, "Wow, this brother is so beautiful." She jumped over and knelt down to look at the sleeping Gu Jingze. She said to Lin Che, "Sister, I'm Wang Mei. Who is he? Is he your husband? "
Lin Che nodded vigorously. "Yes, he's my husband."
The little girl looked at Gu Jingze with admiration and took the initiative to help take care of him.
Dongzi's father saw this and shook his head helplessly. He snorted and walked out.
The old granny sighed and said to Lin Che, "His wife, Dongzi's mother, was cheated away by an outsider. She went out to work and never came back. That's why he gets worried when he sees outsiders. You don't have to worry about him."
Lin Che said, "Why would he? We were the ones who disturbed him. His worry isn't unreasonable."
At this moment, Dongzi finally came back.
"Sister, I've bought some medicine for you. See which one you can use."
Lin Che went over to take a look. They were all anti-inflammatory medicine, so some of them should be usable.
Lin Che used the gauze that had been smeared with medicine to clean Gu Jingze's wounds. Seeing that Gu Jingze seemed to feel pain in his sleep and furrowed his brows, she became even gentler. However, some large wounds would inevitably cause him unbearable pain.
Finally, he snorted and opened his eyes.
Lin Che quickly held his hand. "Gu Jingze? Is it painful? I'll be careful. "
Gu Jingze held her hand tightly and looked at the person in front of him vigilantly. When he saw that it was Lin Che, his brows relaxed.
"Lin Che?"
His voice was hoarse, like the dull sound of rain.
Lin Che quickly nodded. "It's me, it's me."
Gu Jingze exhaled lightly and wanted to get up, but Lin Che hurriedly pressed him down, "You have a lot of injuries on your body. We've escaped, but we're in a nearby village. I don't know when they'll catch up to us. Gu Jingze, how do you feel? Does it still hurt?"
Gu Jingze just sat up gloomily. He reached out and pulled Lin Che into his arms.
As Lin Che breathed in the scent on his body, her mind exploded. All the worries she had for the past few days seemed to vanish into thin air the moment she entered his embrace. She was stunned for a moment, then hugged Gu Jingze tightly.
She really didn't want to go through this again. This worry, this situation where she could lose him at any time, she didn't want to go through it again.
