Chapter 514: You Don't Trust Your Partner
Fu Yan Cheng saw the guilty look on Ge San's face and knew the matter was not simple: "We'll discuss it when we get back; hurry up and pack to leave here."
Logically, if a wolf came to take revenge, it wouldn't be just one, yet this time there was only this single wolf.
Village Head Deng Huaiming also quickly called out to the people following: "Quick, take this wolf back too."
Everyone moved fast; the rear guard became the vanguard, turning around to rush back.
Fu Yan Cheng walked at the very back, glanced into the deep forest, and felt an unease in his heart.
He turned and caught up with the Village Head walking behind: "After we descend the mountain, it's best to have someone smoke the path from the foot of the mountain to the village. Wolves are pack animals; it's abnormal for only one to appear here today, so it's better to take extra precautions."
The Village Head's expression was very heavy as he nodded: "Good. Once we reach the foot of the mountain, I'll tell everyone to go back and change and wash their clothes."
When Liu Chuxue caught up, she saw everyone returning.
Someone teased: "Liu Chuxue, are you worried about your partner?"
Others felt she was being rash: "Miss, why show off like that? If something happens, you'll drag everyone down with you."
Seeing Fu Yan Cheng's displeased expression, the Village Head quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Liu Chuxue was just worried about her partner's safety. Besides, nothing happened. What are you complaining about? If it hadn't been for Liu Chuxue's partner, little Ge Xiaosong might have ended up dead in the mountains."
Ge San, the father, finally reacted at this moment, holding his son, he walked a few quick steps and was about to kneel before Fu Yan Cheng.
Fu Yan Cheng quickly helped him up: "You must not do that. Anyone would step forward in such a situation, let alone me being a soldier, and the one in trouble was my partner's village child. If you feel indebted, just take better care of my father-in-law's family in the future."
Ge San, with red eyes, said: "Rest assured, from now on, matters concerning Liu Chuxue's family are the Ge family's matters."
Seeing the sky darkening, Fu Yan Cheng could not let him continue: "The child's condition is unclear right now; we should hurry down the mountain."
The Party Secretary quickly supported him: "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up, everyone quicken your pace."
Fortunately, they finally descended the mountain before the sky turned completely dark.
As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw many people holding torches standing at the entrance to the mountain.
Ge San's wife, Li Qiaolian, with swollen and red eyes, rushed over: "Husband, how is our son?"
At this time, the villagers also gathered around.
The Party Secretary's eldest grandson, Liu Zhijun, shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I've brought the production team's cart over."
The Party Secretary quickly called out to Ge San: "Put Ge Xiaosong on the cart and hurry to send him to the Commune Health Center."
Liu Chuxue reminded: "First find a strip of cloth to tie around the wound, otherwise so much blood will flow."
Ge San had been carrying his son the whole way and truly had no strength left now.
The crowd immediately made way for them. Seeing Ge Xiaosong's pants covered in blood, some soft-hearted aunts and ladies had tears in their eyes: "This is truly a sin. Look how much pain the child is in; his lips are almost bitten through."
Liu's mother, who had come along to pick up her daughter and son-in-law, also looked heartbroken. Not knowing what she thought of, she quickly took a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Ge San's wife: "Qiaolian, my handkerchief is clean; have the child bite this."
Li Qiaolian, with a grateful expression, said: "Lamei, thank you."
Saying this, she folded the handkerchief and held it out before Ge Xiaosong, her voice trembling: "Son, open your mouth, bite this handkerchief. If you bite your lips again, the skin will break."
