Chapter 135

However, as soon as the words fell, the cry for help grew louder.

The wheat waves in the wheat field on the left surged, and a shadow flashed by, then was quickly knocked down again and disappeared without a trace.

"Crawl on the ground and hide, don't come out until I call you." An ZhiXian threw the luggage in his hand to Pei Meng, and said a word before rushing towards the surging wheat waves.

Pei Meng also reacted that they had encountered something. She hurriedly ran into the wheat field and obediently hid herself. She couldn't help but peek out at the direction An ZhiXian rushed to, praying that he would not be injured.

An ZhiXian didn't care about the wheat that was stepped on under his feet. He rushed to the middle of the wheat field and saw a woman being pressed to the ground by two lean men, her mouth was also stuffed with something, and her clothes were in disarray.

He quickly reacted, kicked one of the men in the head.

An ZhiXian also practiced some moves with his family when he was a child. It didn't take long for him to knock down the two men one-on-two.

After seeing the two men unable to get up lying on the ground, he turned his head back to look at the woman who had been bullied.

The woman hurriedly tidied up her clothes. It was just that the buttons on her shirt had all popped off, and her pants had been torn. She dodged in shame.

Suddenly, she looked at him in horror and shouted to the person who saved her, "Be careful..."

An ZhiXian only heard these two words before feeling a pain in his lower back where he had been stabbed with a knife.

The person who stabbed him, seeing that he had taken a life, was so scared that he didn't care about anything else, turned around and ran away. The other one who was still lying on the ground also struggled to get up and crawled away.

An ZhiXian was a doctor himself. Based on his experience, the pain and the position where he was stabbed, he judged that his injury was not serious, but he might not be able to walk too far.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was rescued, he didn't have the energy to say anything more, just walked to the place where Pei Meng was hiding while supporting himself.

"Pei Meng..." There was a large stretch of wheat field in front of him, and An ZhiXian didn't know where she had hidden. As soon as Pei Meng heard the voice, she stood up and ran towards An ZhiXian. But when she got close, she saw the flustered woman following behind An ZhiXian clearly.

"How can it be you?" That face, although much changed, could still be recognized by her, thanks to her extreme dislike of it, so she remembered it deeply.

Sure enough, the person An ZhiXian had saved was Shen Hongxing, who got divorced last year. It was unclear whether it was An ZhiXian's bad luck or Shen Hongxing's good fortune.

Judging from Pei Meng's expression, the woman behind was someone she knew and didn't get along well with.

But now was not the time to care about this. He reminded Pei Meng, "Where are the stuff? I'm injured and need to treat it first."

Luckily, due to his professional habits, he had medicine in his package.

Pei Meng only noticed then that An ZhiXian had been clutching his waist tightly, and blood was already oozing from his fingers.

Pei Meng had forgotten about that stuff just now in her nervousness. She hurried back to find it.

An ZhiXian reminded the woman behind him, "I'm afraid those two people will react and come back to kill for a cover up, you'd better hide too."

He walked in the direction Pei Meng had gone, and urgently treated the wound in the wheat field.

Every step was very painful, but he had to persevere.

Shen Hongxing had found her own package and changed into clothes that could cover her body. She followed them with fear in her heart, helping to support An ZhiXian.

On the way, Pei Meng looked at Shen Hongxing with an ugly expression, "I'm telling you, you woman are so vicious and stupid. Don't you know how dangerous it is for a woman to walk on a small road when the crops have grown so tall? Yet you still walk that way, are you deliberately trying to harm us?"

Shen Hongxing didn't dare to speak when scolded, she could only apologize repeatedly, saying she was sorry.

In fact, whether it was a highway or a trail, it was unsafe for a woman alone.

The highway was still better during the day, but it was obvious that it was impossible for her to get to the army on just her two legs before dark. So she took the trail.

An ZhiXian was injured, and the three of them did not dare to take the trail. They had to turn to the highway.

Although they still did not encounter ox carts, they met kind villagers. As soon as they heard that they had encountered villains on the road, and that they were military dependents, they quickly took them back to the village, notified the army, and sent An ZhiXian to the hospital. Originally, An ZhiXian was going to rush back to Jincheng. If nothing unexpected happened, after sending Pei Meng to rest with the troops for one night, he would have to rush back and then catch the afternoon train.

But An ZhiXian still hadn't come back by noon the next day, so Zhou Nan and Zhixia became uneasy. After careful consideration, Zhixia let Zhou Nan go out and call the troops to ask about the situation.

Only then did they know that An ZhiXian was injured, but not seriously. He was in the town hospital now. In a couple of days, he would go to the city with Pei Jing. This reassured them, and the matter of returning to Jincheng had to be postponed.

In the kitchen, ribs were bubbling in the pot, filling the whole yard with fragrance.

But only one bowl was served, placed in front of Zhixia, while Zhou Granny and Zhou Nan had noodles with the meat broth.

This was not the first time. Zhixia had said that she could not eat so much, and they did not have to specially make food for her. But each time Zhou Granny refuted her.

Zhou Nan seemed very cautious. She talked very little, especially when facing Zhixia.

This was also the request of Granny when she came. If you don't know how to speak, just say less and do things well. With occasional reminders from her own mother here, Zhou Nan was even more afraid that she might do something wrong to upset Zhixia.

Some of the cherries in the yard had started to turn red these days. Wu Lei told her to pick and eat as she wished, saying they had another tree in their yard that they couldn't finish anyway. In previous years, they had always given them to nearby neighbors.

But she didn't know that Zhang Lin came over with her child every day after he went to work and picked all the ripe cherries. Her words also revealed that if she wanted to eat, she could pay to buy them, but was rejected.

Zhixia didn't care. She wasn't lacking food anyway.

On the other hand, Zhou Granny disliked Zhang Lin's petty behavior and complained from time to time that the landlord's wife was not good. But Wu Lei was kind, which made her feel that he was a nice person.

It was a pity that he married such a daughter-in-law. People who could have been friends became somewhat annoying to get along with.

A few days later, Pei Jing's requested vacation arrived, and he came to the city with the almost recovered An ZhiXian.

Only then did they know that on the day Pei Meng went back, something really happened on the road. Although it was to rescue others, An ZhiXian was stabbed.

Fortunately, it wasn't deep and didn't hurt any internal organs. Other than An ZhiXian's dislike of the ugly scar left behind from the stitches, there was no major problem.

Moreover, because he was injured while rescuing others, the army also sent a letter of commendation to the hospital he was in, which would be very beneficial to An ZhiXian's future.

After all, this rescue was worthwhile.

After dinner, Zhou Granny took Zhou Nan out and insisted that An ZhiXian go with them.

The wound on his waist had been removed of stitches, and there was no major problem.

Zhixia and Pei Jing both saw that this was to give them some time alone.
