Li Feilong quickly responded and walked forward briskly, urging the others to hurry back.
Ye Zhinan strolled along slowly, looking more like a wandering soul.
She was extremely panicked. If she was really infected, it might endanger her life.
Suddenly, someone called out to her from behind.
She turned around and saw Chen Zhenhai pushing a wheelchair towards her, with a happy smile on his face.
"Didn't expect it, right? What you made for our boss back then is finally coming in handy. Now it's your turn to enjoy it."
Chen Zhenhai was joking, but she could tell that the corners of his eyes were slightly red. He must have just been crying.
Ye Zhinan didn't know where this mischievous thought came from. Maybe it was because she was feeling so depressed and desperately needed a way to cheer herself up.
She poked Chen Zhenhai's arm to get his attention.
"A real man doesn't shed tears easily. Next time you cry, remember to wash your face with cold water to reduce the swelling."
Chen Zhenhai kicked the wheelchair hard. Ye Zhinan was pushed far away by the inertia and instinctively let out a scream.
"You're so mean! I was just joking with you. Are you trying to murder me?"
Chen Zhenhai knew his own strength. He just put some force into his kick, but his hand was still tightly holding the handle of the wheelchair.
He proudly turned his head away, not wanting to talk to Ye Zhinan anymore.
When Ye Zhinan returned, there were several layers of people gathered in the yard. Hearing the sound of the wheelchair, everyone made way for her to enter.
"I've already sent someone to fetch the doctor at full speed. We've done everything you said, but he just won't wake up."
Ye Zhinan sat in the wheelchair, looking at Qin Yihuai lying on the bed, frowning in pain. She felt extremely heart - broken.
She looked at Li Feilong and took out the dagger from his waist.
"Go outside and sharpen the knife properly. Tell the people outside to disperse. Qin Yihuai will surely be fine."
Her hands were trembling slightly. She had never realized how much she cared about him.
When she thought that Qin Yihuai might leave her at any moment, she finally understood what fear was.
Li Feilong dispersed the people in the yard, but there were still some who were peeping over the wall.
He didn't have time to worry about anything else. He could only find a whetstone and start sharpening the knife in the yard in front of everyone.
"What's going on? Could it be that they're going to kill someone to cover up? Maybe there's still a chance for him to survive."
"Maybe they're just giving him a quick end. It's really a pity."
The people outside were chattering non - stop, which made Li Feilong extremely annoyed.
This wasn't the time to scold them. He didn't dare to stop his hands until the blade was sharp enough. Then he quickly rushed to give it to Ye Zhinan.
"Take a look. Is it okay?"
Ye Zhinan nodded. It didn't really matter whether it was okay or not. She was just creating a distraction.
"Go out and close the door."
She took out a scalpel and some special needles and threads from her space.
With a swift movement, she injected the anesthetic into Qin Yihuai's body.
Then she neatly cut out the rotten flesh and stitched the wound up again.
She had a selfish motive. She chose the kind of thread that could be absorbed by the skin so that he wouldn't have any scars.
"Such a good - looking face. If he's covered in wounds all over his body, he might not be able to find a wife in the future."
She forced a bitter smile and then shook her head self - deprecatingly.
She seemed to be a bit resistant to the idea of Qin Yihuai getting married in the future.
Ye Zhinan packed up her things, disinfected Qin Yihuai's wound again, and then pushed the wheelchair out.
"How is he?"
Lu Yanlai came over, her eyes full of concern. The handkerchief tightly held in her hand was already soaked with sweat.
Ye Zhinan shook her head and forced a smile.
"He's fine."
"That's good. I was really scared when you first came back. I thought he was going to die."
Lu Yanlai helped her into the house to rest. It was only when she helped Ye Zhinan change her clothes that she saw that her whole body was covered in wounds.
"How did you end up like this?"
Ye Zhinan waved her hand weakly. She felt extremely exhausted at the moment and didn't want to say any more unnecessary words.
"Could you please find someone to apply medicine to him later? I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after a good sleep."
Regardless of what Lu Yanlai said later, she directly put the medicine bottle on the table.
She had already written down how to apply the medicine and the number of times to apply it each day.
She was still confident in Lu Yanlai's ability to handle things.
Ye Zhinan didn't know how long she had slept. She felt like she had had a very long dream.
In the dream, she was shuttling back and forth between two time - spaces, but she couldn't find Qin Yihuai anywhere.
"Don't leave me!"
She woke up with a start from the dream. Looking at the furnishings in the room, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
She was still alive and still in the village.
An unprecedented sense of security surrounded her tightly. She vaguely heard the sound of a man and a woman laughing in the yard.
It sounded like Qin Yihuai.
"It's time to apply the medicine again. I'll help you back to the room later. You shouldn't always sit in the wheelchair. It's not good for the recovery of your wound."
Qin Yihuai was sitting in the wheelchair, his eyes fixed on her door.
He just stared blankly. If he were a different color, he might be regarded as a stone statue and placed at the village entrance as a mascot.
She felt extremely blocked in her heart, but she still forced herself to calm down.
She pushed open the door and walked out, trying hard to force a smile.
"I didn't expect that while I was sleeping, there would already be someone taking care of you."
A look of excitement flashed in Qin Yihuai's eyes. He forcibly suppressed his desire to rush over and tried to calm himself down.
Before he could say anything, the girl beside him answered first.
"Yes. Brother Long is too busy to take care of you every day. Since I'm free, I might as well come and help."
Ye Zhinan nodded thoughtfully, but she didn't even glance at the girl. She just stared directly at Qin Yihuai.
She hadn't even managed to pursue this man yet. How dare that little homewrecker try to get the upper hand?
Qin Yihuai was as dull as a wooden block. If this little girl could really make him understand her feelings, she must have been the red string in the Temple of the Matchmaker in her previous life.
"I didn't expect that the people in the stockade would be so unrestrained. They don't even care about the propriety between men and women. If I remember correctly, Inspector Qin's wound should be in a rather private place."
As she spoke, her eyes kept sizing up Qin Yihuai. Seeing that he was in a good mood, she became even more confident.
Anyway, someone was on her side. Even if she was a bit arrogant, it didn't matter.
"Well, you also examined Brother Qin, didn't you?"
Brother Qin?
How affectionate!
The smile on Ye Zhinan's face didn't even change. Her eyebrows even curved up, as if she were watching a joke.
"Let's not even mention that I'm a doctor with benevolence in my heart. At that time, I was so eager to save him that I naturally couldn't care about anything. Just based on the relationship between the two of us, it's okay for me to do such a thing."
Ye Zhinan finally understood. She liked Qin Yihuai in her heart.
Although she hadn't been in the northern border for a long time, after spending so much time with him day and night, she was sure of her feelings.
Qin Yihuai was steady and resourceful, which was exactly the type she liked.
The two of them had gone through life - and - death situations and experienced a lot of things. She didn't know when she would leave this world.
So what she wanted to do was to seize the moment.
