Seeing that Chen Jiajia wanted to get up, he immediately went to support her: ”Don't move first, your injuries are a little severe, this place is too far from the city, I have found a village's Chinese medicine to bandage you up, you can recover in a few more days.”
The man was about 30 years old. He had a simple and honest appearance. He touched his head awkwardly and felt a bit foolish.
”This is …” ”Where is it?” Chen Jiajia slowly asked, her voice slightly hoarse.
”My house.” The man poured a cup of water for Chen Jiajia, ”Yesterday, when I went up the mountain to pick the herbs, I met you. The village doctor said that it was good to save you in time, otherwise, there would probably be aftereffects.”
”Thank you.” Chen Jiajia weakly smiled as she thanked him.
The man's face turned red. He had never seen such a beautiful girl in the village. My name is Lee Dazhuang, just call me Da Zhuang. ”
Chen Jiajia nodded her head: ”Big bro Da Zhuang, my name is Chen Jiajia. Is this place very far from the city?”
”Yes, the mountain road you came from goes deeper in. Basically, our village doesn't have much contact with the outside world. It's more than enough to live on.”
Chen Jiajia asked a few more questions to understand the basic situation, and then didn't speak anymore to organize the clues she already had.
The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. Lee Dazhuang was a bit helpless as he stammered, ”Then you should get back to sleep first. I'll send you out after you've rested.” As he spoke, he wanted to run outside.
”Right, Big Brother Dazhuang.” Chen Jiajia called Lee Dazhuang, ”Can you lend me your phone? I want to make a call.”
Lee Dazhuang said embarrassedly: ”My family... It's just a phone with my mom. I'll give it to you when she comes back. ”
Chen Jiajia expressed her understanding and nodded in agreement. In her heart, however, she was somewhat anxious. She didn't know why, but she didn't know why. She didn't know whether or not he knew that she was here … Thinking about it, Chen Jiajia felt a little tired, and fell asleep again.
As the sun set, the Li family's parents who went out to work came back. Lee Dazhuang told his parents about Chen Jiajia waking up.
”You're awake? It just so happens that the rice is ready. Lee's Mother bent over and supported himself with the food as he spoke.
Waking up from her sleep, Chen Jiajia sat down at the table and greeted Li Clan's parents one by one.
Lee's Mother looked up and down at Chen Jiajia. She had a plan in her mind, and let out a bright smile: ”Jiajia right? After washing up, I see that she's really handsome.”
”Not at all, aunty, don't praise me.” Chen Jiajia shook her hand, she had a very strange feeling about this.
”Jiajia, you don't look like a mountaineer. Why are you here?” Lee's Mother took a detour to find out more information, but on the surface he only revealed a face full of curiosity.
”I came from S city, I wanted to go up the mountain to look for someone, I didn't expect this to happen.” Chen Jiajia was caught off guard and explained the general situation.
”It looks like this …” Lee's Mother nodded his head, a glint flashed past his eyes, and he made up his mind.
Chen Jiajia thought about the matter of the phone call and took the chance to ask: ”Aunty, can you lend me your phone for a while? I want to call my family and tell them that they're safe.”
Lee's Mother's movements paused for a moment, then pretended that nothing had happened. ”Aiya, you're talking to me, I accidentally dropped my phone into the water today, if you take it out, it'll be bad.”
”Then can I borrow it from the neighbor next door?” Chen Jiajia asked.
The Lee's Mother stammered as he changed the subject, ”Hmm... ”I'm afraid not. The villagers all slept early, so I'm guessing they've already gone to sleep. Let's wait for tomorrow morning, I'll go borrow some money from you.”
”This …” Chen Jiajia looked hesitant, she was worried that if she couldn't contact him at this time, she would go crazy. But asking again seemed unreasonable.
