Chapter 87 She looked like she was going to commit suicide for love.

Chapter 87 She looked like she was going to commit suicide for love.

The moment Cheng Lanzhou heard "found the team," her tense nerves finally relaxed, and she fainted as everything went black.

When he slowly opened his eyes again, half a day had passed. The first thing he saw was the anxious faces of Cheng Daier and Madam Lin.

"Lanzhou! You're awake!"

Lin grabbed his hand, her voice trembling with tears, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling better? Does your wound hurt?"

Cheng Dai'er's eyes were also red, and her tone was urgent: "You fool, all you do is pretend to be strong."

Cheng Lanzhou blinked, her mind still a little hazy, her throat so dry she couldn't make a sound.

He looked at his sister and mother's worried expressions, his lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say "I'm fine," but only a weak, hoarse voice came out.

Just as Cheng Lanzhou was about to sit up, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen.

"Lie still!" Cheng Dai'er immediately pressed him down, her tone reproachful. "While you were unconscious, Jiang Yutang used the thread she found to stitch up your wound again and told you to rest and not to move around."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Lanzhou reached out and lifted the thin blanket covering her body, looking at her abdomen. Sure enough, it was a brand new white gauze.

"We owe it all to her this time," Lin sighed, her voice full of relief.

"She also told us that this was the second time she had done stitching work. Thank God that nothing went wrong, otherwise your wound would have been in trouble."

Cheng Lanzhou was taken aback. She gently pressed the gauze with her finger, a helpless smile curving her lips.

So he became Jiang Yutang's practice target?

Not long after, Jiang Songzhi came over with a small packet of anti-inflammatory medicine and handed it to Cheng Daier: "My little sister asked me to bring this. She said that taking it on time can prevent wound infection."

Seeing that it was Jiang Songzhi who delivered the medicine, not Jiang Yutang, Lin couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't she come and check the wound herself?"

Jiang Songzhi smiled politely yet distantly: "My little sister is busy. She has to help my mother brew medicine and organize the things in her bundle. She asked me to tell you to call her anytime if there is any situation."

The three of them didn't think much of it, assuming she was genuinely busy.

For the next two days, it was always Jiang Songzhi or Jiang Huaiyu who delivered the medicine and inquired about the situation; Jiang Yutang never came to the cart even once.

This made Cheng Daier and Lin Shi uneasy.

"Mother, do you think Jiang Yutang doesn't want to treat Lanzhou's injury anymore?" Cheng Daier frowned, her tone filled with worry.

Lin was also a little hesitant and remained silent.

Cheng Daier said anxiously, "The two families agreed that she would be responsible for our food and health along the way. Now that Lan Zhou is so badly injured, she can't just ignore us, can she?"

On the other side, Cheng Lanzhou, who was resting against a rock, didn't say anything and had no extra expression on his face, but his aura was very low and even his eyes were a bit cold.

He couldn't explain why, but he always felt a little unhappy.

Could it be that she thinks his injury is unimportant, or that she simply doesn't want to see him?

Seeing this, Madam Lin felt increasingly uncertain. After thinking for a while, she instructed Cheng Dai'er, "Go and personally call her over to take a look."

After a pause, he frowned and added, "If you speak more gently, just say that Lan Zhou is not feeling well and you want her to come and check her wounds. That way, we can feel at ease."

Cheng Dai'er nodded and walked in the direction of the Jiang family's residence.

She was also a little puzzled. Jiang Yutang used to care about her younger brother a lot, so why did she suddenly avoid him?

Cheng Daier went to find Jiang Yutang with a belly full of questions. She had just reached the middle of the group when she saw her walking side by side with Jiang Sumin.

The two seemed to be chatting about something, and Jiang Yutang's eyes crinkled with laughter, her clear voice standing out in the group. Jiang Sumin, on the other hand, rolled her eyes and turned her face away in feigned disgust, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

She walked quickly forward, her expression not very pleasant.

When Jiang Yutang and Jiang Sumin saw that it was her, they both stopped smiling and walked away.

Cheng Daier cut to the chase: "Lanzhou said his wound is uncomfortable, can you come with me to take a look?"

Jiang Yutang's smile faded, and she asked seriously, "Where exactly is he feeling unwell?"

Cheng Daier paused, then made up a vague excuse and said, "It's just that the wound hurts, and it doesn't look quite right."

Jiang Yutang patiently explained, "It was just stitched up not long ago, so it will definitely hurt when you move around and the wound is pulled. Just change the dressing on time and take the anti-inflammatory medicine. There's no need to worry too much."

Cheng Daier frowned, her dissatisfaction rising within her: "We just want you to go check your wound so we can be at ease once we're sure you're alright. Why won't you go?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yutang blinked, her tone frank. "I didn't refuse."

"Since that's not it, then come with me!" Cheng Dai'er immediately interrupted her, her tone firm and unyielding.

"etc."

Jiang Sumin suddenly spoke up, his tone tinged with displeasure, and stepped in front of Jiang Yutang: "Miss Cheng, since the two of them are planning to divorce, it's best to avoid suspicion, given the difference between men and women. If Brother Lanzhou has any issues, he can tell me and my elder brother, and we will then tell my younger sister to minimize their meetings to avoid unnecessary gossip in the future."

Cheng Daier stared at Jiang Sumin in shock, then turned her gaze to Jiang Yutang, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The separation was indeed tacitly agreed upon by both parties, but there's no need to rush to draw a clear line so quickly, is there?

She took a deep breath, feeling a surge of anger rising in her heart, but she couldn't find a reason to refute it. In the end, she could only angrily flick her sleeves and turn to leave.

Back by the cart, she told Lin and Cheng Lanzhou everything that had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin frowned, looking distressed, and her expression grew increasingly grim.

Cheng Lanzhou frowned in displeasure, then quickly smoothed it out, his eyes growing even colder. The thought of her avoiding him stirred a strange irritation within him.

Strange, isn't this exactly what he wanted before? Why is he dissatisfied now?

Cheng Daier complained indignantly, "I really don't understand their family! If they're so eager to distance themselves, why were they so eager to find Lan Zhou when he got into trouble trying to distract the bandits? They volunteered to go and find him, acting as if they would die for him. But now, they won't even see him!"

These words were like a thorn in Cheng Lanzhou's side. His expression froze, and his previously low spirits instantly wavered.

He pursed his lips, looked up at Cheng Daier, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but his tone was very calm: "Elder sister, was she really like that back then?"

"That's right!" Cheng Dai'er widened her eyes and pouted unhappily. Recalling the scene at the time, her tone became even more indignant.

"When you didn't come back, she was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She insisted on going to find you herself, and no one could stop her. In the end, Master Jiang had no choice but to let Jiang Huaiyu accompany her to find you."

At this point, she curled her lips into a smirk, tossed her hair, and then said sarcastically in exasperation, "That's why women change their tune faster than turning the pages of a book! Just a few days ago, she was all set on dying for you, but now she won't even see you, as if she's afraid of having anything to do with you!"

Cheng Lanzhou didn't respond. As his sister's complaints gradually subsided, his heart warmed and a sense of joy filled him.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze unconsciously sweeping across the crowd, wandering through the chaotic line of refugees.

Soon, his gaze settled on something not far ahead.

Jiang Yutang, carrying that familiar bundle, walked slowly side by side with Jiang Sumin.
