Then, his breath came out of his throat in a short and trembling gasp, the tip of his nose was red, and his eyes were filled with hot liquid.
She faced the door and tried very hard to speak, and she also tried very hard to pronounce every word clearly—
"I've been looking for you for a long, long, long time before I found you."
"My feet hurt so much, my hands hurt so much, I hurt so much everywhere."
"He Ruochen, why are you like this?"
Lin Banxia said, breathing heavily and crying.
But after a moment, the door opened again.
Lin Banxia raised her head with tears in her eyes and saw He Ruochen wearing a black mask covering her mouth and nose. He reached out and took her hand, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "I'll take you in." city."
As he spoke, he took her hand and started to walk out.
But He Ruochen only moved a small step and then stopped.
Because Lin Banxia cried uncomfortably and whispered: "I hurt so much, I can't walk..."
At that moment, He Ruojin only felt a dull pain in his throat. Only then did he realize what he was doing. He lowered his head and saw her little hand held by him. The skin was broken and stained with blood, and her legs were still there. He was shaking slightly and couldn't stand at all.
He Ruojin took a deep breath, picked him up without saying a word, and walked into the yard and into the house. He put Lin Banxia on the bed. He squatted down beside the bed. The veins on his arms were injured due to excessive exertion. He felt slightly numb, but he endured the discomfort, gently held Lin Banxia's legs, and took off her shoes and socks.
Lin Banxia's little feet were both cold, and her ankles were extremely red and swollen.
He Ruojin frowned, "Why is it swollen like this?"
He raised his head and saw Lin Banxia biting her lips, fearing being scolded.
He Ruojin's heart ached, and he couldn't bear to say anything to her. He asked her to wait for him for a while. He got up and brought a basin of water in. He rummaged through a few bottles of ointment, squatted beside the bed, and gently touched her two little feet. She gently hugged him on his leg and carefully applied medicine to her red and swollen ankle. Occasionally, Lin Banxia's toes would flex slightly in pain, and He Ruochen would use more gentle force, for fear of hurting her again.
After applying medicine to her ankles, He Ruochen wiped her two small hands with water, bandaged her several small wounds, and told her not to get wet in the past few days.
When He Ruochen was talking to Lin Banxia, he was never very close to her.
But Lin Banxia has been looking at him. She can feel that He Ruochen has lost a lot of weight, but He Ruochen is wearing a mask and does not let her see his current appearance.
After He Ruojin finished his instructions, he raised his head and saw Lin Banxia still sitting on the bed looking at him, as quiet and docile as ever.
He Ruojin moved her lips slightly, tilted her head again, remained silent for a while, narrowed her eyes painfully, and called her name in a slow voice: "Lin Banxia."
He didn't wait for Lin Banxia to respond to him, and then whispered, "Did you find it alone?"
Lin Banxia lowered her soft eyelashes, pursed her beautifully curved lips, and said "hmm" very softly.
He Ruochen had to press the wooden lattice on the edge of the bed very hard to hold his body steady. He raised his head and looked at Lin Banxia, paused for a moment and said, "Do you know this is Hangu Mountain?"
Lin Banxia nodded.
"Do you know that there is a lot of snow outside? It is difficult to walk on the mountain road? Do you know that your legs are not healed yet?"
