Jiang Jingyu nodded and explained: "I was not feeling well yesterday and didn't catch the train. I was one day behind them."
"I see, I am from Peach Blossom Village. Let's go back together so that we can have someone to look after us on the way!"
A beautiful girl was not safe walking on a mountain road by herself, so a man offered to go with her.
"That's great. If I hadn't met you just now, I would have been blocked by those big dogs."
Jiang Jingyu did not refuse, her words were full of gratitude to the man.
"Harm, those big dogs in the village are just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. If you beat them a few times, they will become more honest!"
The man smiled nonchalantly and looked up at the sun above his head.
"It's hot right now, and there's no place nearby to enjoy the cool air. I'm afraid we might get heat stroke if we stay here for a long time. Let's go back quickly!"
Jiang Jingyu dropped the wooden stick in his hand and stood up, looking embarrassed when he saw the height from the ground.
If she jumped, all the blisters on the soles of her feet would burst.
The man could see her difficulty at a glance, so he turned his back: "You lie down, and I will carry you down."
Finally, Jiang Jingyu bent down and lay on the man's broad back. The man put his arms around her legs and effortlessly lifted her off the stone.
The moment the blisters on the soles of her feet touched the ground, Jiang Jingyu gasped in pain.
The man hurriedly turned to look at her, with a worried look on his face: "What's wrong with you? Did those dogs bite you just now?"
As he said this, he was about to squat down to check Jiang Jingyu's wounds. Jiang Jingyu was startled and hurriedly stopped his movement.
"No, maybe the shoes don't fit my feet and my feet are blistered."
"It's blistered? Which foot? Let's see if it's serious!"
Seeing that the warm-hearted man was about to squat down, Jiang Jingyu reached out and took his arm.
"No, no need, I'll just go back and take care of it."
After seeing Jiang Jingyu's evasive gaze, the arrogant man realized that men and women were not allowed to kiss each other.
He scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well, I've always been a very nervous person. If there is any offense, please don't blame me. Don't be the same as me!"
"But you have blisters on your feet. I'm afraid it won't be easy to walk the rest of the way. How about I carry you back?"
"No, no, no, I can just walk with a stick."
Jiang Jingyu quickly refused, but the man was a man of action. He bent over and pointed his back at Jiang Jingyu.
"Girl, don't shirk it. Since you are an educated youth from Taohua Village, we will be neighbors in the village from now on, and neighbors should help each other!"
After the man's insistence, Jiang Jingyu, whose feet were really hurting, finally lay on his back and let him carry her towards the village.
Jiang Jingyu's body is soft and light, weightless to a man.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce you, my name is Xu Jiashu, what is the girl's name?"
Xu Jiashu?
Male protagonist?
Jiang Jingyu didn't expect that they would meet in this way.
"My name is Jiang Jingyu, you can just call me Xiao Jiang."
Jiang Jingyu.
Xu Jiashu secretly wrote down her name.
Xu Jiashu is a talkative person, and he is also familiar with Jiang Jingyu, whom he has only met once.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang has been staying in the city before. I'm afraid he has never walked on such a difficult mountain road, right?"
"Well, the roads in the city are easier."
"The countryside is not as good as the city. Comrade Xiao Jiang may not be used to it when he first comes to Taohua Village. If you need help, just ask me. If you encounter trouble in the village, just mention my name, Xu Jiashu!"
As the leader of Peach Blossom Village, Xu Jiashu still has some confidence.
There is no one who dares to provoke the person Xu Jiashu wants to protect!
"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Xu."
The soft and sweet voice rang in his ears, which made Xu Jiashu's ears tingle. It was the first time he was so close to a girl other than his family and he blushed.
Her softness came from behind, and the hair lifted by the breeze fell on his neck, bringing a faint fragrance.
Xu Jiashu's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.
However, the village boss also wanted to save face. Xu Jiashu pretended to be calm on the surface, chatting with Jiang Jingyu all the time, and soon arrived at the entrance of the village.
After seeing the peach trees on both sides of the road, Jiang Jingyu finally understood why the village was called Peach Blossom Village.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, we've arrived at the village, please let me down."
Jiang Jingyu gently patted Xu Jiashu's shoulder.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang is coming to Taohua Village for the first time. He definitely doesn't know where the educated youth spot is. I'll take you there."
Xu Jiashu walked towards the educated youth spot without stopping, carrying Jiang Jingyu on his back.
It was noon now, and the villagers were all having lunch at home. Xu Jiashu carried Jiang Jingyu all the way without meeting anyone.
This is in line with Xu Jiashu's wish.
There are always gossips in the village. If those people see him carrying Comrade Xiao Jiang back, they might be planning to spread rumors behind his back!
He didn't care, but when he thought about those people talking about Comrade Xiao Jiang behind his back and pointing fingers at Comrade Xiao Jiang, Xu Jiashu suddenly felt annoyed.
After arriving near the Educated Youth Center, Xu Jiashu gently put Jiang Jingyu down.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, I will send you here. Ahead is the Educated Youth Center, so that they will not misunderstand you after seeing it and have a bad influence on you."
Xu Jiashu really wanted to let others misunderstand him, so that no one would dare to take advantage of Comrade Xiao Jiang.
But after considering Jiang Jingyu's reputation, Xu Jiashu still endured the reluctance in his heart and let her go.
He only wished that the journey to the Educated Youth Center could not be longer so that he could talk to Comrade Xiao Jiang more often.
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about other people's opinions. Comrade Xiao Xu, thank you very much for today. I will treat you to dinner later when I settle down."
Jiang Jingyu smiled with crooked eyebrows, which made Xu Jiashu's heart flutter.
Xu Jiashu coughed slightly, feeling a little annoyed that he had lost his composure in front of Jiang Jingyu several times.
"Well, don't call me Comrade Xiao Xu. If you are weird, just call me Xu Jiashu from now on!"
Jiang Jingyu blinked: "Okay, Xu Jiashu."
When his name came out of her mouth, Xu Jiashu felt that his name sounded so nice for the first time.
"You need to remove the blisters on your feet as soon as possible. If you don't dare, ask the comrades from the Educated Youth Institute to help you."
Xu Jiashu was nagging.
Jiang Jingyu nodded: "I'll pick it apart when I get back."
"By the way, do you have any medicine for injuries? If not, I will bring it to you later!"
"Don't worry, everything is ready."
Jiang Jingyu patted the baggage he was carrying.
"Well, you have an injury on your foot. Don't move around for the next two days until the injury heals."
Jiang Jingyu clasped her hands behind her back, and she responded to Xu Jiashu's instructions.
Her gaze has been falling on Xu Jiashu's handsome face. Being looked at directly by her clear and moving eyes, Xu Jiashu, who has always been thick-skinned, looked away with embarrassment, and his words became hesitant. I get up.
Jiang Jingyu snickered and tilted her head to look at him: "Xu Jiashu, do you have anything else to say?"
