"You care about me?" Li Jinye asked.

Lin Yinyin rolled her eyes at him. "Nonsense! Do you expect me to just turn around and leave, watching you die here?"

"Are you willing to give it up?" Li Jinye's voice carried a barely perceptible expectation.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yinyin replied curtly, "I'd be willing!"

Then, without realizing it, the hand tying the knot tightened its grip.

"Hiss!" Li Jinye groaned.

"You're really generous!"

"Li Jinye, stop talking nonsense and think about how we're going to get back."

My foot is injured, and you're almost crippled too? What are we going to do?

Do you think Aunt Zhuang and the others will come looking for us?

"No, because I ran into them on the mountain and told them to go back first."

Lin Yinyin: "..." What should I do if she's a little angry?

Li Jinye's voice was somewhat weak as he continued, "Because I think it's enough that I'm the one looking for you."

The thought that I wanted to spend a little more time with you, I didn't say aloud.

"However... Gao Ming will come looking for me if he sees I didn't go back this afternoon, so you don't need to worry."

"Gao Ming? That regimental commander?"

"Yes, that's right. This morning, she and I went to your house to look for you, but you weren't there. I found out you were here, so I came here."

I promised to help him with something; it's urgent, and he'll come looking for me.

"Okay then." Lin Yinyin felt much more relieved.

"By the way, what are you doing at my house?"

She swallowed back the words, "I want to be nicer to you." "Yesterday I came to your door abruptly, which was a bit presumptuous, so I brought some gifts to apologize."

"An apology? Who did you give the gift to?"

"When I arrived, none of you were home, so I asked Grandma Li to pass it on to you and your sister."

"You! You!"

Lin Yinyin was furious, and even a fool would know that Old Lady Li would embezzle the money.

"What are all these things?"

"Nothing expensive, just some tonics, like donkey-hide gelatin, ginseng, royal jelly, and malted milk powder."

"That's a good thing!" Lin Yinyin got even angrier, reached out and pinched the skin on his arm, twisting it hard.

"Ouch—it hurts!"

"Serves him right!" Lin Yinyin said irritably, letting go of his hand to try and bring him to his senses.

"Li Jinye, you know that Old Lady Li isn't a good person, right?"

"Yeah, I know. But I also know... you'll get your things back... Aren't you always picking fights?"

This way you have one more reason to vent your anger.

Lin Yinyin was stunned; she hadn't expected Li Jinye to have thought so much.

"Yinyin, I'm going to rest for a while..." Li Jinye's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"Hey, don't sleep!" Lin Yinyin quickly nudged him.

She wondered if she should pinch him again to keep him awake.

"Never mind," she thought, quickly taking out a piece of candy and stuffing it into his mouth. "Have a candy to replenish your energy!"

Before he fainted, Li Jinye only felt that the candy was very sweet, sweet to the core.

"Li Jinye? Li Jinye!"

Lin Yinyin patted his face, and seeing that he didn't react, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She saw that his injuries weren't too serious, just that he had lost too much blood!

She looked around to make sure no one was there, and with a thought, she first put Li Jinye into her spatial storage.

Then, she also took in the wild boar, which weighed over 200 pounds, before limping down the mountain.

Throughout the journey, she kept a close eye on the movements within the space, fearing that Li Jinye might suddenly wake up and discover the secret of the space.

She finally made it to the foot of the mountain, but she couldn't hold on any longer, and her knees buckled, almost causing her to collapse to the ground.

There happened to be a cornfield next to it.

The corn stalks, taller than a person, were lush and green, just enough to shade the two people.

Lin Yinyin, panting heavily, laboriously released Li Jinye from the space and carefully laid him flat on the edge of the cornfield. She then tore off a few large corn leaves to cover him and shield him from the sun.

After doing all this, she could no longer bear the overwhelming exhaustion. Digging traps, making bows and arrows, chasing pheasants, and later fighting wits and courage with wild boars, she even injured her right leg. After all this, her physical strength was long gone.

She lay down next to Li Jinye, her head tilted to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep without even having the strength to close her eyes properly.

When Gao Ming led the two men along the trail, they saw two figures lying in the cornfield from afar.

He walked over quickly, and after seeing what the two looked like, his lips twitched involuntarily.

Lin Yinyin leaned against him, her clothes disheveled. If it weren't for the fact that Li Jinye was covered in blood, anyone who saw this scene would have asked, "Whose wild couple has come to roam the cornfield?"

Gao Ming was both amused and exasperated. This Li Jinye, chasing people all the way into a cornfield, really had a unique hobby.

Despite his inner complaints, his hands moved swiftly, and he immediately called for help, shouting, "Quick! Get him to the military hospital!"

***

The light from the incandescent bulbs in the military hospital ward was somewhat glaring.

Li Jinye suddenly opened his eyes, and the image of fighting the wild boar, Lin Yinyin riding on the wild boar's back, and the sweet taste of orange candy before he fainted instantly flooded his mind.

"Where's Lin Yinyin?" Li Jinye turned to Yang Fan, who was guarding the bedside, and asked.

"Commander!" Yang Fan quickly stepped forward to help him up, to prevent him from getting agitated later.

"Comrade Lin... woke up half an hour ago and ran away with my sister."

"They ran away again!"

Li Jinye repeated the three words in a low voice, as if they were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

Yang Fan felt a chill on the back of his neck.

He shrank back, inwardly screaming: Why did it have to be him who had to stay at the hospital?!

Half an hour ago.

When Lin Yinyin slowly woke up, the first thing she saw was Lin Huizhi's face, which was full of anxiety.

"sister!"

"Yinyin, you're awake. Be careful."

"Sis, I'm fine, I'm just tired and I'm sleeping a little too soundly."

Lin Huizhi watched as Lin Yinyin's lips moved as if she had something to say, but she swallowed the words back down.

She got up, walked to the door and closed the ward door, then quickly walked back, squatted down beside Lin Yinyin's bed, opened her mouth again, but still couldn't say a word.

"What's wrong, sis?"

Lin Yinyin felt uneasy at her hesitant expression.

"Yinyin!"

"Yes, I'm here, sis! Just say what you want to say, don't be like this, it's kind of scary."

"Could I have a terminal illness?"

"It's not a terminal illness..."

Lin Huizhi sighed, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, as if she had made a huge decision.

"Yinyin, do you... have someone you like?"

"No!"

Lin Yinyin was a little confused. "Sis, what exactly are you trying to say? If it were anyone else, I would have asked them to just spit it out."

"that……"

Lin Huizhi's voice grew softer and softer, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at her. "Um... the doctor said you're physically normal, just that you sprained your ankle. It'll be fine once it's set."

But since I noticed you hadn't woken up, I asked an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take your pulse..."

"And then?" Lin Yinyin pressed.

"The old Chinese medicine doctor said that you... seem to be pregnant." Lin Huizhi's voice was barely audible.

"But the pulse was very weak, and he couldn't say for sure. He just told me to ask you..."

"Boom!" Lin Yinyin was completely stunned.

She stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Yinyin? Yinyin, don't scare me!"

Seeing that she didn't react for a while, Lin Huizhi shook her arm anxiously, "The old Chinese medicine doctor said it's only a suspicion, it might not be accurate!"

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Yinyin jumped out of bed and put on her shoes. Just as she stood up, she turned back and grabbed Lin Huizhi's wrist, her voice trembling, "Sister, let's go! Let's go, let's go home!"

"Yinyin, don't run! Slow down!"

Yang Fan, who was sitting next door, witnessed this scene.

So he told his regimental commander, "After Comrade Lin woke up, he grabbed his sister and ran away."

Li Jinye closed his eyes, forcibly suppressing his surging anger.

After a long pause, he asked in a hoarse voice, "How badly is she injured?"

"Not heavy at all!"

Yang Fan quickly waved his hand, "The doctor said it's just a sprained ankle, it'll be fine in a few days, no bones are broken!"

He thought that if something really happened to Comrade Lin, his regimental commander would probably tear the hospital roof off on the spot.

Sure enough, upon hearing "It's alright," Li Jinye's tense shoulder line relaxed a little, but the next second he threw off the covers and got out of bed.

"Commander! You can't move!"

Your gunshot wound to your left arm hasn't fully healed yet, and now you've lost too much blood in your chest. The doctor says you must rest in bed for three days!

The brigade commander specifically instructed that you are not allowed to go anywhere for these three days!

Li Jinye frowned, still wanting to get down, but Yang Fan, quick-witted, shouted out his trump card: "Commander Gao said!"

If you disobey and insist on getting out of bed, he'll go shopping with Comrade Lin at the department store, saying he'll buy her the latest trendy chocolates!

Li Jinye's movements suddenly stopped, and a chill emanated from his body.

"Commander, please rest well. I'll go get you some hot water!" Before the words were even finished, the person had already slipped to the door and slammed it shut.

Yang Fan leaned against the door, panting heavily.

Oh my god, how terrifying! King Li Yama was already difficult to deal with, but now he's even more unpredictable, like a ticking time bomb.
