C54 Turn Around
The banana forest and the bamboo forest blurred past the corner of the eye, a pale green sea, It was bouncing in the bumpy frame. As he staggered, his stomach was in a mess. The aroma of the tea that he had just drunk returned to his mouth. Tao Huizhen wriggled her throat with great difficulty and suppressed the feeling of vomiting again.
There was no wind, and the weather was hot. Perhaps it was due to nervousness, but Tao Huizhen could feel that her hair was steaming hot. The warm sweat was like someone had poured a basin of hot water over her head, flowing down and forming a river of sweat on her face. Her hair was stuck to her face, and sweat also flowed out from her hair.
Drip, drip.
Time suddenly slowed down.
The sky of Dai Village was exceptionally blue, with blue waves washing over it. It was like a boundless blue sea. The white clouds were like the sails of a ship. They floated above the "sea. " The scorching sun was right above Tao Huizhen's head, releasing a huge heat wave and a dazzling light. She saw her own shadow on the ground. Only her head was exposed. A dry smell spread through her nose and mouth. She heard her own panting.
She saw that the foreign man hesitated for a while before running towards the winding road leading to the county town outside of Tea Village. His sunhat fell to the ground. As it swayed, the huge figure gradually moved further and further away. Finally, it merged with the path in the distance. The children in the school dormitory. . . They opened the door and rushed out. Their target was Qiuhe. The Dai villagers turned into a fork in the road. They chased after the foreign men. Tao Huizhen threw herself in front of Qiuhe.
Then, it was Elder Li and Dao Xiaotong. Members of Department Wang arrived one after another. The men and women from various families crowded outside the entrance of Da Tea Village Primary School. Only Qiuhe's family was not seen. Tao Huizhen didn't want to let Qiuhe's family know before she found out what had happened. That pair of aged bodies that even she couldn't take care of. She still couldn't bear that kind of blow. Perhaps Qiuhe herself also did not wish for others to do so.
Yu'er, who had run off to inform the others, also followed from behind. She observed Qiuhe from the cracks of the crowd. Her expression changed and she kept swallowing her saliva. She remembered when Qiuhe was calling her Yu-er. The adult look on Qiuhe's face. Qiuhe clearly saw her as a little child. Her tone also revealed many things, such as "Little Yu-er. . . When will you grow up? Don't cry, you're such a childish child. You don't know anything. Although Qiuhe had never said that before, her expression. . . She was already conveying that kind of message to Yu-er. It was just that the current Qiuhe no longer had that calm confidence. She fell. She fell.
Fresh blood flowed out from the left side of Autumn Lotus's abdomen, dyeing her back red.
Actually, Yu Er wanted to cry, but she covered her mouth and held it in. That childish thing. . . She felt that she should do it as little as possible. She bit the corner of her mouth and frowned. The scene of Qiuhe stopping the bad guys just now was replayed in her mind again and again. Every time she replayed it, the strength in her body would be sucked dry once. Until she powerlessly squatted on the ground. It looked like she was even more uncomfortable than those adults.
Of course, Qiuhe couldn't die just like that. She leaned against Tao Huizhen's chest with a blank face. Her lips cracked and her skin burst. A trace of dried dark red blood hung at the corner of her mouth. She had bitten it open by accident. She should be in great pain. Her fingers were trembling, and her chin was trembling. She was mumbling something. Tears flowed out of Tao Huizhen's closed eyes the moment she saw her. Tears and mucus mixed together. Gradually. . . Her breathing stabilized, and the frequency of her trembling fingers decreased significantly. However, what replaced it was the pain in her wound that caused her entire body to convulse. As well as Tao Huizhen's trembling hands, which were holding onto Qiu He, were even more intense.
Tao Huizhen would rather the one who was injured be herself. She felt that the usually lively autumn lotus had lost its vitality at this moment. "I fell. " Just like how she was performing the Peacock Dance at an important moment. The dancer fell onto the stage and could no longer stand up. He stared at the stage lights in despair. She stared at the audience in the audience seats and shouted with all her might, but it was as if she could not support her body at all. No matter what, Qiuhe would not be able to get rid of the pain. She couldn't get rid of the pain. When Tao Huizhen realized this, she could only feel an abnormal pain spreading from her chest to her entire body.
"Elder Li, it's just a superficial wound. The knife grazed past the left side of Qiuhe's abdomen. The wound was not deep. Even so, we still need to disinfect it and bandage it. What should we do?" He lifted Qiuhe's clothes, where there was blood. At the lower side of the abdomen. There was quite a lot of blood, but it had stopped now. The wound was fine. Tao Huizhen then checked the other parts of Qiuhe's body. She only found this wound.
This also meant that Qiu He would be fine. Tao Huizhen let out a heavy sigh of relief. She was completely unable to imagine that there would be an illegal disciple appearing in this small village beneath her feet. She, Officer Wang, Elder Li, and the others had just gone to the depths of the village to help paint the auspicissaries, posters, and other things. Poor Qiuhe actually had an accident here.
"This child is really lucky. That's great. I was too old to call your Teacher Tao away. " Elder Li covered his face and said. He looked at Tao Huizhen, who was hugging Qiu He, with a reproachful expression, for a long time.
Officer Wang lowered his head and said, "I am also responsible. Nothing is more important than these students. Also, I will report to the relevant units about Qiuhe getting injured in order to save the first class protected animal in the country. "
Elder Li asked Dao Xiaotong to call Chen Dai, the doctor from Great Tea Village, over. He was a lonely old man who possessed Dai medical skills.
Speaking of Elder Chen, Dai Medical Company also faced the dilemma of having no successors. Today, Western medicine was popular, and the old Dai Medical Company could no longer find a person who could inherit his legacy. He wanted to persuade a young man to spend his entire life on picking herbs and studying medicinal formulas. This was not an easy matter. In comparison, it would be easier to bring this ancient Dai medicine into a coffin. The fundamental reason was that. . . Doing Dai medicine was a hard job, but he could only barely maintain his food and clothing. If he did not have the spirit of a craftsman, Without the awareness to continue the traditional culture, he would never be able to do this. That was once a thought was made. One had to abide by the promise of a lifetime, once one took a step forward. There will be no lonely journey of turning back. So, it was best for mediocre people not to have such thoughts. In order to avoid ruining the spirit of the craftsman from the beginning. It was the same whether it was the paper cutting art or all kinds of traditional techniques. They had become their natural enemies for a long time. Very few of the people who came later could do it until death.
Generally speaking, Dai Medical Company was also a traditional medical company in China. A part of it. Dao Xiaotong went to call Chen Dai medicine. In Dai Village, men and women, old and old, quietly looked at Qiuhe and observed her. They deeply felt the pain of Qiuhe.
The children of Da Tea Village Primary School seemed to be paying attention. They focused their attention on Autumn Lotus's body. There was a kind of atmosphere, as if Qiu He was an orphan. He was going to leave them forever. Thus, grief came from within, and some children began to cry. Sadness. It was only when Qiuhe quietly lay in Tao Huizhen's arms and was dyed red with blood that. . . Only then did they panic and realize the pain that Qiuhe felt.
A heavy feeling of pain filled the hearts of these children. They saw that Qiuhe had stopped moving. They became more and more frightened. When they thought about that tenacious little grass like orphan, he actually fell. He felt that it was inconceivable. He was also very scared. Only after what happened today did they suddenly realize that Qiuhe was not made of steel. She was actually very fragile as well. Qiuhe was no different from them all.
"Qiuhe, hang in there for a while. Doctor Chen Dai will be here soon. " Tao Huizhen changed her position and continued to hold Qiuhe in her arms.
Qiuhe gently moved her head. She indicated that she understood.
"It must be very painful, right?"
"Yes. "
"It's all my fault. I didn't protect you," Wang Yao said. Tao Huizhen blamed herself.
Qiuhe immediately shook her head. Her voice was as hoarse as a drum. "I was careless. The little green peacock can't be taken away. This is. . . The only group of wild green peacocks in Dai Village. "
Tao Huizhen widened her eyes. Something in her heart was stirred. She looked at the empty spot. Carefully analyzing what Qiuhe said. The fingers on Qiuhe's shoulder tightened unnaturally. He glanced sideways to avoid Qiu He's opened eyes and found Elder Li. Officer Wang and the others seemed to be keeping their mouths shut. They let out a soft sigh. "The little Peacock is still fine. Even if that person caught it, he would not intentionally hurt the little peacock. Wild animals are only valuable if they are alive. If something similar happened to Qiuhe again, the first thing she would do was to find someone. You need to call me master, got it?"
" I'm afraid no one will believe that the Green Peacock is still in the Great Tea Mountain. They all say that the Green Peacock disappeared many years ago. " Qiuhe said.
"Silly child. "
Elder Lee opened his dual-colored backpack and looked inside. As an old man in the village, he knew very well what had happened twelve years ago. From Qiu He's body, it was as if he could see a pair of figures from the past, as well as their persistence. His persistence towards the Green Peacock.
The old man looked at them and then closed the lid again. He slowly said to Qiu He, "Now we all believe. Qiu He, the green peacocks live on the mountain of Dai Village. They have returned. Brave children. "
Chen Dayi's doctor arrived in ten minutes. He sterilized and applied medicine on Qiuhe. It was a simple bandage.
The men from Dai Village only came back at night. They chased the strange criminals all the way to the county town. Although Qiuhe was injured, her life did not change at all. She returned to her normal life that night. Work, study, dance, and so on.
It was three days later when the police arrived at Da Tea Village Primary School. He said that the foreign man had been arrested three days ago and admitted his crime. The man was the first criminal to hunt Green Peacock and confessed to hurting Qiuhe.
The purpose of the police was very simple. They wanted to thank Qiuhe and the brave children of Tea Village Primary School in person. At the same time, they wanted to inquire about Qiuhe's injuries. After learning about Qiuhe's family's situation, the policeman also said that he wanted to apply for a small reward for Qiuhe's bravery in fighting against the bad guys for her "good things. "
"I was careless when it came to the injury. At that time, that person really didn't take the initiative to stab me. " Qiuhe told the police about this. It was true that she was not the one who took the initiative to stab him.
The police officer nodded and took off his police cap and put it under his arm. The hot weather made him sweat. He looked at the setting sun. He smiled and looked at the autumn lotus again. He couldn't help but think, What a kind child. This sentence had an important meaning to the unlawful disciple.
"Good child, brave and kind. I will do my best to reward you. Study well, Qiuhe. I won't disturb you anymore, Teacher Tao! "
After nodding to the teachers and students of Da Tea Village Primary School, the police officer put on his police cap and rode on a blue coloured motorcycle. When the motorcycle buzzed loudly, he turned his head and said, "In a few days, there will be a specialized person coming over to arrange for the young Green Peacock to return home. When that time comes, I will have to trouble Qiuhe to enter the mountain once. I hope she can cooperate. "
The motorcycle that looked at the policeman quickly merged with the background color and disappeared in the evening. Qiuhe turned around and stretched out her hand to Yu-er, who was also looking at her. "Yu-er, thank you. "
She was thanking Yu Er for calling the adults three days ago.
