Chapter 232: Moving into Jia Village 2
"How can this be called cheating?" Gu Wenxuan smiled gently, her eyes soft, "This is just a little fun between us as an engaged couple."
The man was speechless after hearing what Gu Wenxuan said and could only cover his face and flee. Bai Jingzhou, who had rushed over because his sister had helped to tip off the news, felt inexplicably sad and his eyes red because of her words. He couldn't control the strong urge to cry.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the happiest thing in the world for him was probably that the person you like knows your true face but is still willing to like you and indulge you.
He stood inside his own front door, unable to calm down for a long time.
Gu Wenxuan walked up to him without him noticing, "Why are you crying? Did someone bully you? If you've been wronged, don't hold it in. No matter who it is, I will find a way to help you vent your anger."
Her voice was gentle, and the fingers that wiped his tears were warm but a little rough from long-term martial arts training and labor. They were very similar to Gu Wenxuan's hands that had thin calluses from holding a gun for a long time and had also wiped his tears when they first met.
When such a hand gently stroked his cheek, Bai Jingzhou's heart immediately settled back to its original position.
He raised his hands and held the hand that wiped his tears with great care. Under Gu Wenxuan's gentle gaze, he shook his head slightly, "No, no one bullied me."
Gu Wenxuan stared at his tear-soaked eyes, "So you are... moved by me?"
Bai Jingzhou felt sour in his heart. He nodded and was about to say something when Bai Jingxin ran over, panting.
She came to support Bai Jingzhou. Originally, after she informed Bai Jingzhou, they both came out of Bai Jingzhou's yard at the same time, but she was too slow and only ran over now. Moreover, her arrival was somewhat inappropriate...
Bai Jingzhou criticized his sister inwardly, "...Since you're late, why don't you just not come?"
Bai Jingxin was so smart that she knew how much of a nuisance her presence was when she saw her brother's expression. She blinked, smiled at Gu Wenxuan, then immediately turned around and ran away without looking back.
But even so, Bai Jingzhou was still too embarrassed to continue sticking to Gu Wenxuan. He adjusted his facial expression and then went to treat the injured person without complaint.
Gu Wenxuan laughed. She composed herself and was about to go back to the Gu family next door, but Father Lin came hurriedly towards Bai Jingzhou's house.
Seeing Gu Wenxuan, Father Lin took the initiative to explain to her, "I know a little bit about medicine. I heard that there are many injured this time. I wanted to come and see if I can help."
Gu Wenxuan was very surprised. It was the first time she heard that Lin's father actually knew medicine.
Out of curiosity, she took Lin's father to Bai Jingzhou.
Father Lin came with the intention of contributing as much as he could, but he was shocked by Bai Jingzhou as soon as he arrived.
For those who had their heads cut open or broke their legs accidentally because they were so panicked while running, Bai Jingzhou actually provided quick and accurate initial treatment.
The most important thing is, from what Bai Jingzhou said, he was actually very confident that he could cure these seriously injured people.
Father Lin was greatly shocked, but he did not show it clearly because he still had some doubts about what Bai Jingzhou said.
He was worried that Bai Jingzhou's confidence was simply to encourage the injured.
Bai Jingzhou didn't know what he was thinking. After asking him the purpose of his visit, Bai Jingzhou took him to Bai Chong.
Bai Chong found an empty yard in the large house that his family was allocated to store his medical equipment and various medicinal materials. Now, those who had minor injuries and had not had time to treat their wounds were queuing in this yard.
After Lin's father and Bai Jingzhou arrived, the group of slightly injured patrol members quickly split into two teams according to Bai Jingzhou's orders.
Bai Jingzhou was not worried that Father Lin would not be able to deal with the minor injuries of these people. Although he had not been in contact with Father Lin for a long time, he could see that this man was not a man who would talk big.
The fact was just as Bai Jingzhou had expected. To his surprise, Lin's father's medical skills were actually slightly better than those of Bai Chong, the village doctor when he first came here.
Bai Jingzhou, who had been secretly observing Lin's father for a while, put aside his last bit of worry and began to concentrate on treating the wounded man.
Bai Chong, Bai Jingzhou and Lin's father finally treated everyone's injuries, and Bai Lizheng came over accompanied by Bai Rong.
He came to Gu Wenxuan to inquire about the news. "I heard that the two families who didn't come got into trouble because they didn't retreat in time?"
Gu Wenxuan did not hide it from him. "The sound of gongs and shouts reached their home, and then they remembered to pack their things. The patrol members reminded them to run, but they turned around and asked the patrol members to hold them back. I couldn't let the patrol members sacrifice their lives for a few bags of food."
She asked Bai Lizheng in return, "Whose assets are not assets? Whose family brought all their things out? Don't others know that they will have to spend money to buy the things they left behind in the future?"
What could Bai Lizheng say? Like Gu Wenxuan's family, his family also left behind a lot of things. Firewood, water jars, large earthenware jars, backpacks, baskets, brooms and other household items, the bare plow pole after the iron plowshare was removed... They would have to buy all of these again in the future.
"You're right. We can't let everyone lose their lives because of their greed." Bai Lizheng put his hands behind his back and sighed, "I will explain this matter clearly to other people in the village and won't let them gossip about it."
Gu Wenxuan nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."
Bai Lizheng added: "I have also divided the houses among everyone. The people in our village all live in the east. I have also told them that they cannot occupy empty houses casually, nor can they walk around in other people's villages and cause trouble for them."
Gu Wenxuan listened carefully and added, "I would also like to trouble you to tell everyone not to leave the shelter casually and not to cut firewood around the village. I will arrange for the young and strong men in the patrol team to take them to the mountains farther away to cut firewood in the afternoon."
Bai Lizheng nodded, "I will inform them."
While the two were talking, the farmers who had evacuated from the farm earlier sent representatives to ask for a meeting after estimating the time.
These people have lived here for a long time. Before Gu Wenxuan and the others came, they had always been under the control of Father and Mother Jia.
According to Jia's father and mother, they are relatively honest and well-behaved.
Their residences were all on the west side of the shelter. Jia Village had fewer people than Bai Village, and with just the people from their village, they certainly couldn't live in all the houses on the west side of the shelter.
Gu Wenxuan had reserved houses for the farmers in advance, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to accommodate those who came to her and Bai Jingzhou for shelter.
