Just as she finished tidying up, a voice came from outside the door, "How is the person doing?"
"Boss, the doctor is still inside."
"What’s the situation in the mountains?"
"We’ve caught all the fugitives, but didn’t get any useful information. To avoid alarming the enemy, we’ve already ordered our people to withdraw."
"But won’t their absence raise suspicions?"
"I’ve interrogated them separately. They’re just peripheral figures, and they haven’t been here long, so they’re not very familiar with this area. Even if they don’t return, those people will probably just think they got lost in the mountains due to unfamiliarity with the terrain. However, to be on the safe side, we must accelerate our progress and complete the task as soon as possible."
No sooner had they finished speaking than Yunyi and Liu Chenglin came out.
The few people in the courtyard, hearing the noise, all gathered around immediately, "How is it?"
Yunyi spoke in a low voice, "If there’s no fever tonight, there shouldn’t be any problems. I’ve left medicine in the room and have instructed Educated Youth Liu. He knows how to handle it."
She had barely finished speaking when she felt a gaze fixed on her.
Looking up and using the dim light from the room to see the person’s features, both said simultaneously, "It’s you."
Everyone was at a loss for the situation.
Liu Chenglin asked, "Do you two know each other?"
Yunyi shook her head. "No."
But the man replied, "The debt of a life saved."
Yunyi, recalling the day’s events, said, "You were seriously injured that day, why are you here?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fiɾe·net
Realizing something, she added, "This is extremely irresponsible to your own health and can easily lead to complications."
Huo Jingrui hadn’t expected the person he’d been searching for, without any news for so long, to appear here. He asked, "Are you serving as an Educated Youth here?"
Huo Jingrui thought to himself: No wonder I couldn’t find any news of her. This explains it.
It was just a fleeting encounter, and Yunyi did not expect the man to repay her, so she simply said, "It’s getting late, I should be going."
With that, she nodded to everyone as a greeting, and walked towards the exit.
Huo Jingrui wanted to call out to her, but considering he still had a mission and the time was indeed inconvenient, he could only watch her leave.
He took deep breaths to calm his emotions before leading his men into the house, checked on his injured comrade, and began to make new arrangements.
After getting married and returning home, the eldest son of the Wei Family moved into the Chu Family’s courtyard.
Cheng Lanlan, the Wei Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, had not expected that she and her husband could live in such a large courtyard. "Mom, we’ve cleaned up here. You and Hongyan must be exhausted after these past few days. You should go back and rest early."
Auntie Wei, Ning Shuzhen, was gratified by her eldest daughter-in-law’s words and replied, "Okay, we’ll head back now."
Thinking of something, she paused, then instructed, "You two need to be diligent from now on and take good care of this courtyard."
Cheng Lanlan nodded, promising, "Mom, Hongjun already told me. Don’t worry, I will definitely take care of it as if it were my own, keeping it tidy."
Wei Hongyan, who had been standing by silently, spoke up, "Mom, I’m sending Yunyi a letter tomorrow. I’ll also send her some wedding candies to share the joy."
Auntie Wei agreed wholeheartedly. "That’s perfect. I’ve also prepared a few pairs of yarn gloves for her; you can send those along too."
Upon hearing about the yarn gloves, Wei Hongyan’s smile faded. "I’ve heard that farm work is very tiring. I wonder how she’s getting on over there?"
