Chapter 2396: Chapter 2400: Undoubtedly a Straight Man
"Mm," Ye Xingbei looked at the flowering trees in the distance, her lips curving into a gentle arc: "When my brother was still around, this small mountain village was just as poor, but with him accompanying me, I was happy every day. Back then, my brother and I were quite poor, and now I have money, but I can’t find him..."
She tilted her head to look at Gu Junzhu with a smile, "If I find him, I want to give him lots and lots of money, buy him a big house, introduce him to a beautiful girlfriend, give him the best of everything, and let him live a very, very happy life!"
Gu Junzhu raised his hand to touch her face, "We will find him, I firmly believe, he’s still alive."
"Mm," Ye Xingbei took a deep breath, "My brother is a good person, you said it, good people have good fortune, so my brother must still be alive!"
As they walked and talked, reaching the depths of the flower forest, Gu Junzhu suddenly stopped, listening intently.
Ye Xingbei also stopped, looking around: "What’s wrong?"
Gu Junzhu said, "Someone’s calling for help."
"Really?" Ye Xingbei became a little tense and strained to listen intently.
"Over there!" Gu Junzhu pointed westward.
The two ran towards the west.
Reaching the western side of the flower forest, there was a hillside.
At the bottom of the hillside, a girl was sitting, shouting for help loudly.
Ye Xingbei called out, "Hey, what’s wrong with you? Are you injured?"
The girl quickly looked up at her, "I twisted my ankle, I can’t move!"
Gu Junzhu said to Ye Xingbei, "You stay here, don’t move, I’ll go down and save her."
"Mm," Ye Xingbei nodded, reminding him: "Be careful, safety first."
"Don’t worry!" Gu Junzhu said as he grabbed onto the wild grass growing on the hillside and slid down.
The place where the girl fell was a ledge on the slope.
Gu Junzhu steadied himself on the ledge, squatting down beside the girl, "Which foot is sprained?"
The girl said, "The right foot."
Gu Junzhu checked, "No fracture, just dislocated, bear with it."
The girl nodded, "Okay, thanks... ah!"
Before she finished talking, Gu Junzhu grabbed her ankle and with a forceful move, she heard a "crack" sound, and her previously immobilized ankle could move.
She moved it a bit, delighted, "It doesn’t hurt anymore."
Gu Junzhu stood up, "It will hurt again later, come with us, we have some external medicine, we’ll give you a bottle."
"Thank you so much!" The girl said gratefully, "Luckily you saved me, otherwise if it got dark and I was still stuck here, I might have been eaten by wild animals."
Gu Junzhu didn’t chat with her, quickly climbed back up the hillside.
The girl: "..."
Couldn’t he give her a hand?
... Forget it!
She could definitely climb up by herself!
She grabbed the wild grass, mimicking Gu Junzhu’s movements to climb up.
She saw Gu Junzhu climbing with such ease, like walking on flat ground, reaching the top in just a few movements.
While she expended tremendous effort to climb up, her freshly sprained right ankle hurt like it was about to break.
Ye Xingbei was wiping Gu Junzhu’s hands with a wet wipe, seeing the girl climb up, she put the wet wipe in Gu Junzhu’s hand, letting him wipe himself, and squatted down beside the girl, "Are you okay?"
"I’m okay," the girl rolled up her pant leg, "Just the ankle hurts, nothing else."
Ye Xingbei leaned over to take a look, "It’s swollen, but it’s fine, my husband said you didn’t hurt the bone, we brought some spray, we’ll give you a bottle later, spray it a few times, and you’ll be better in two or three days."
