Chapter 26: Collapsing Worldview and the Female Warrior

Lin Yue used clean water to wash the wounds on the man’s face several times, then cleaned them again with spiritual spring water.

    When she reached his arm, she saw something that seemed to be stuck in the flesh at the break.

    Without thinking twice, she carefully pulled something out of the still bleeding flesh.

    It was a paper tube rolled from brown paper, about the thickness of a thumb, she didn’t know what was inside, she respected people’s privacy and didn’t open it without permission.

     This man was tough, he had stuffed such a large thing into his wound, Lin Yue couldn’t imagine how painful it must have been, she only saw the man twitch a few times when she pulled it out, then there was no sound.

     At this moment, Lin Yue truly believed that he was a tough soldier.

     Outside the space, several burly men were wandering around the alley, her afternoon meeting with the fat lady was off the cards.

    She had been busy all morning, and now she was starving, but after witnessing such a bloody scene, she couldn’t eat anything, so she simply cooked some millet porridge, in case the man woke up, she could feed him some.

     The man woke up much earlier than Lin Yue expected.

    He opened his eyes and found himself sitting in a large wooden bucket, filled with dirty water, emitting a foul odor.

    He was naked, with a small stool under his legs, one arm resting on the stool, the water level just reaching his arm.

     He looked around, it was a large tent made of thick old coarse cloth, only four corners were fixed with bamboo poles, it was very simple.

    But the tent was equipped with tables, chairs and a bed, there was a crooked earthenware pot on the table, with unknown wildflowers inserted in it, there were clean bedding on the bed, everything was warm and cozy, as if someone had lived there for a long time.

    Only the ground near the bed was dark red, as if stained with blood.

     This was a strange place, the man carefully recalled what happened before he woke up, he was discovered, injured, escaped, and finally a woman with half-wet hair, snow-white skin, and a fairy-like temperament.

     Thinking of this, he was startled – he remembered that one of his arms had been broken, but now, he looked down at the arm on the stool, the original break was only a pink scar, now it was painful and itchy, very uncomfortable.

    But, apart from that, it was a complete arm! He was about to stand up when he heard someone walking towards him from outside, so he quickly closed his eyes again and didn’t dare to move.

     Lin Yue lifted the curtain and came in, as soon as she entered the tent, she quickly covered her nose.

     The man had lost too much blood, she was afraid he wouldn’t survive, so she used a lot of spiritual spring water, both internally and externally.

    You know, she herself didn’t have the luxury of using spiritual spring water to bathe.

     But the effect was obvious, you could smell it.

     The man’s body excreted a lot of dirt, the water in the wooden bucket turned black, she directly carried the bucket and moved the man out.

    The water was so dirty, she was afraid of poisoning the crops, she didn’t dare to pour it on the ground, so she found a broken water jar that wasn’t being used, poured the dirty water into it, her disgust was evident.

     Lin Yue held a wooden basin, carried the man to a small stream, scooped up some clean water and poured it directly over the man’s head.

     The man was completely naked, sitting in the basin and being carried around by Lin Yue, his face was red to the neck, he could only force himself to pretend to be unconscious, lest he “wake up” and the situation become even more embarrassing.

     Lin Yue saw that the man’s face was red and black, she thought it was because the water was too cold, she mumbled an apology: “It’s a bit uncomfortable to take a shower like this, but you have to bear with it, men and women are different, I don’t want to scrub you, I can only make you feel uncomfortable.

    You look so strong, you shouldn’t get a cold from a little water, right?” She used clean water to wash the man repeatedly, until she felt clean, then she carried him back to the room, basin and all.

     The man was already numb, this woman looked like a fairy, you wouldn’t think she was so strong, and so “unreserved and unrestrained”.

     At this time, the wounds on the man’s face had healed, leaving only faint pink scars, and his skin was visibly smoother.

    Lin Yue didn’t feel anything when she stripped the man naked, now she belatedly felt a sense of shame.

     She blushed, poured spiritual spring water into the wooden basin, coughed to cover her embarrassment, and muttered to herself: “I don’t know if your arm is healed, it looks like it’s almost healed on the outside, but I don’t know what’s going on inside.

    I’ll help you to the end, so you can soak for a while.

    ” She said and turned to run out of the tent.

     The man opened his eyes, thinking about the strange experience after being injured, he took a deep breath.

    His worldview had collapsed, and he didn’t know when it would be rebuilt.

   He just stared at the scar on his arm, watching it disappear at a visible rate, he was stunned for a long time.

It was only when his arm became smooth again that he seemed to have just woken up from a dream, he suddenly moved, the water in the wooden bucket splashed.

     Lin Yue heard the sound and lifted the curtain to come in.

    The man was facing away from her, she couldn’t see his face, she saw that his posture hadn’t changed, she thought it was just a conditioned reflex.

    But she was afraid that the man would wake up, so she quietly walked over, picked up the stone on the ground and hit him again on the back of his neck, the man’s head instantly drooped lower.

     When the man woke up again, he was already lying on the bed, and his clothes were all neatly dressed.

     There was no one around, he carefully sat up from the bed, and immediately saw the intelligence he had hidden in his body lying on the table.

    The brown paper roll was still dark red, it was clear that it hadn’t been opened.

     He just looked at it, but didn’t go forward to take it.

    Since the woman didn’t open it when she found it, it meant she respected his privacy, then he could return her trust.

    Moreover, his current situation was too bizarre, he didn’t dare to act rashly.

     The man quietly walked to the tent door, opened a small gap and looked out.

     Outside the tent was a flat piece of land, with some commonly used farm tools, the layout was very similar to a small farmhouse, only without a wall.

     On both sides were several small mounds of earth bricks, the layout was a bit like the outline of a brick house, but the builder must have been an amateur, several attempts had failed, leaving only piles of earth bricks, proving the builder’s perseverance.

     Further ahead was a field of flowers, full of wild flowers commonly seen in the wild, all kinds of varieties, all kinds of colors, they were crowded together, full of vitality.

     In front of the sea of flowers was a long table, the woman was sitting at the table doing something.

     In front of this sea of flowers was a small stream, it must be where he had just taken a shower.

    Across the stream was a misty area, nothing could be seen.

     The man turned his gaze back to the woman.

    She was wearing a simple old coarse cloth jacket, it was large and loose, without buttons, inside was a navy-blue collarless shirt, as she moved, the clothes naturally swayed, the few cranes painted on it seemed to come alive.

    Her hair was simply tied in a high ponytail, her whole temperament was completely different from this era, she seemed very unrestrained and carefree, coupled with the surrounding scenery, she didn’t seem to belong here.

     The man saw that she was about to stand up, he didn’t dare to look any longer, he went back to the room and lay down.

    Sure enough, after a while, a woman’s voice came from beside him: “You recovered quite quickly, hey, don’t thank me! Who told me to be beautiful and kind-hearted.

    ” The man was already used to her talking to herself, he closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be unconscious.

    But his stomach was not cooperative, it “rumbled” twice at this time.

     The man felt that something was wrong, and sure enough he heard a woman’s voice muttering: “Hey, this guy wouldn’t have woken up already, how come I remember he was always open-mouthed when he was unconscious? Should I give him another hit?” The man was speechless, he continued to close his eyes and didn’t move.

     Lin Yue didn’t really want to hit the man again, in case she knocked him silly, then she would be committing a sin.

     She muttered: “He shouldn’t wake up so soon, I hit him pretty hard just now.

    That… comrade, you don’t blame me for hitting you, when I send you out, we’d better forget each other, just pretend today’s events were a dream!” By this time, it was already getting dark outside, Lin Yue remembered that the man had mentioned a document, she thought it must be that brown paper roll, according to her years of watching TV dramas, it was obviously some kind of intelligence.

    The man asked her to deliver the document to a policeman at the Public Security Bureau, unfortunately she forgot the policeman’s name.

     Moreover, there were people coming and going in front of the Public Security Bureau, she didn’t dare to just throw the man there.

     There was a military base near Xiaowu Village, the training ground outside the camp was built in a desolate place.

    She stuffed all the man’s things into his clothes, put him down near the gate of the military camp.

     The man was thrown to the ground without mercy, he secretly opened his eyes, only saw the woman’s back as she left, her right hand was still holding a stone the size of a watermelon.

    Seeing the stone in her hand, the man’s neck instantly hurt again.

     He watched as a bicycle suddenly appeared beside the woman.

    She got on the bike and shouted loudly: “Help! Someone’s fainted here! Help! Help!” She shouted and rode forward.

    When there was movement from the camp, she instantly disappeared.

     The man no longer hesitated, he took out the military knife from his clothes and stabbed himself hard in the left shoulder.

     It may be that the magical water he had soaked in was still working, the man clearly felt the pain and itch of the wound again, he knew that the wound was healing quickly, so he stabbed the knife deeper, ensuring that the wound would not heal when others discovered him, then he pulled out the knife, carefully hid it close to his body.
