Chapter 55 Injured

"Oh, little miss, you must be scared. To actually encounter someone who steals things?"

"It's so late at night and there are so many people! These thieves are so bold. catch them and put them in jail!"

"It's not easy to catch. That person was riding a bicycle. Once far away, he disappears into the dark and you can't find him. There was one the day before yesterday. Gold earrings were hanging on the ears. Not only did he drag it away, the girl's ears were injured. It’s no use to report to the police as they can’t be found.”

Xu Xiao Jiao listened to the chatter around her and kept staring at Song Wei Ping's figure.

She didn't expect that she would encounter a thief. This experience was too unfamiliar. Xu Xiao Jiao's first thought was to call the police. Then she thought that at this time, there weren't so many cameras at all. If she didn't chase after and they knew what the thief looked like when the police arrived, there was a high probability that it wouldn't be recovered.

"I heard that thieves carry knives. So dangerous."

"They are all hooligans that would risk their lives. If you catch up with them, who knows what will happen."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao Jiao's expression changed. She thought about what she had forgotten. Song Wei Ping was using his bare hands. It would be too dangerous if the other party really carried a knife.

"Song Wei Ping! Come back quickly!" she shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Wei Ping took a step forward and kicked the thief's bicycle down.

"Oh!" "How mighty!" "That young man ran so fast!"

Before the exclaims could finish, the thief who fell to the ground spat out and took out a bright fruit knife from his pocket.

Everyone gasped. The people nearby all took a few steps back. Although the people near Xu Xiao Jiao were far away, they were also consciously afraid.

"My my, they really have a knife."

"It's too dangerous. Little Miss, hurry up and get your match come back. Life is more important."

"That's a knife."

Ever since she saw the fruit knife, Xu Xiao Jiao's legs felt weak and she couldn't stand. If the auntie next to her hadn't quickly supported her with her quick hands, she would have fallen down long ago.

Xu Xiao Jiao desperately wanted to call Song Wei Ping, but she couldn't even speak.

She didn't know if she called Song Wei Ping's name, but she saw the man holding the knife move forward. Song Wei Ping advanced instead of retreating. The moment the two figures crossed each other, Xu Xiao Jiao's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She closed her eyes tightly and took two rapid breaths before opening her eyes and breaking away from the auntie who was supporting her. She ran toward Song Wei Ping.

"Hey, miss, don't go there. It's dangerous."

"You’ll only add trouble for your match."

The auntie was busy trying to hold Xu Xiao Jiao back.

Xu Xiao Jiao turned a deaf ear and looked straight at Song Wei Ping.

From a distance, Song Wei Ping seemed to sense something. He turned around and glanced at Xu Xiao Jiao. Xu Xiao Jiao didn't see his movements clearly. In a few steps, the thief was already lying on the ground, motionless.

"Song Wei Ping, Song Wei Ping!" She rushed over in one breath, tears streaming down her face, "You’re seeking death, Song Wei Ping!"

Not missing an area, she examined Song Wei Ping, "Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Song Wei Ping reached out to wipe her tears, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

"What's okay! Little Miss, your match's right arm was stabbed by the thief. I saw it!" Several vendors nearby were working together to tie up the unconscious thief. After hearing this, they shouted to let Xu Xiao Jiao know.

Xu Xiao Jiao reached out and felt the sticky feeling on his arm. He was really hurt.

"We will send this thief to the police station. You should take your match to the hospital quickly. Better not be the muscles or anything hurt." That vendor was very enthusiastic.

Xu Xiao Jiao couldn't care about anything else, "Song Wei Ping, go to the hospital quickly."

The hospital wasn't far away. After a lot of trouble, Song Wei Ping received six stitches on his right arm. Fortunately, it was a flesh injury and he would recover after a while of nurture. Nothing else was serious.

When the stitches were being stitched, Xu Xiao Jiao didn't even dare to look. She felt pain just by the thought alone.

After the gauze was wrapped, she touched it gently and said, "Song Wei Ping, does it hurt?"

They were having a good time playing, but it was spoiled. At the sight of her little face paling with fright, Song Wei Ping felt heartbroken for a moment and coaxed her with a gentle voice, "It doesn't hurt. Don't be afraid."

Xu Xiao Jiao's heart was in a state of turmoil. Only now, she slowly came back to her senses. Fear and anger began to rise. Xu Xiao Jiao raised her foot and kicked Song Wei Ping, "Song Wei Ping, you want to die? That thief had a knife and even took it out! And you still approach! Don’t you know to run away? You scared me to death! You scared me to death, you know?”

As she spoke, her tears fell again, "If something happens to you, have you ever thought about grandmother and me? And Mom and Xiao Gang! You bastard!"

Song Wei Ping hugged her and let her beat her.

After she vented her emotions and sobbed in his arms, Song Wei Ping responded to her warmly, "It’s my fault. I didn't expect him to bring a knife with him. But I have learned some fighting skills. I wouldn’t approach if I’m not certain. Nothing happened, no? Don’t cry."

Xu Xiao Jiao had completely lost her strength. She raised her head in dissatisfaction, "What nothing! You are injured and need six stitches."

Her eyes that had been crying were still covered with water. She looked extremely pitiful. Song Wei Ping lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her eyes, "It's nothing. I won't do it again. Don't cry anymore. Be good."

Xu Xiao Jiao let out a sob and stood up from his arms, "Hmph, it’ll be fine if you don't snatch back the camera? You made me so worried. Song Wei Ping, I was really scared. I couldn't even speak. I want to call you, but can’t.”

Song Wei Ping touched her cheek, "There are photos you took of me inside. I don't want to lose them."

When taking pictures, all she saw was him. It was a gift she gave him and he wanted to keep it.

There were also photos of the two of them. The photos he took of her when he took her to the river and played in the mountains were all precious.

There was no photo development shop here. The two of them have already agreed that the next time they go out together, they will develop the photos, buy a big photo album, and fill it up slowly.

After Xu Xiao Jiao heard what he said, she recalled how he often held the camera and looked through the photos inside. As long as she took pictures of him, he would look at them many times.

"Fool, I'll take pictures of you later."

Xu Xiao Jiao lowered her head and gently tapped the gauze on Song Wei Ping's arm. In her mind, she repeated again: fool.

Overnight, they went to the police station to complete the transcript. The next day, Song Wei Ping wanted to take her to play for another day. No matter, Xu Xiao Jiao refused, "You are injured, play what? Go home and recuperate, idiot!"

Song Wei Ping felt that she didn’t get a chance to properly play, but he also knew that she was worried, "We didn’t get to watch a movie again. I'll bring you back next time."

Xu Xiao Jiao randomly mumbled a response. She didn't want to think about those things yet. The most important thing now was to heal Song Wei Ping's injury. With such a long wound and if it didn’t recover properly, it would become inflamed especially since the weather was slowly getting hotter. Then, there would be a lot of suffering.

"Go home, go home."

Neither Grandma Song nor Wu Chun Hua expected that they could get injured while playing in the county town.

Wu Chun Hua was particularly distressed, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked Xiao Jiao to drag you to the county city, you wouldn't have endure this crime."

Song Wei Ping expressed he was fine, "Mom, don't worry, the skin and flesh injuries will heal in a few days."

After hearing the whole story, Grandma Song felt relieved when she saw that her grandson had no other injuries. "Ping boy is a very lucky person. It’s good that nothing happened."

After returning home, Xu Xiao Jiao was no longer as useless as she had been last night. She began to praise Song Wei Ping in front of her family, "You don't know, Song Wei Ping is very powerful. Even when the thief had such a long knife, he wasn’t afraid. In goes a few punches and kicks and the thief’s eyes spun and fainted."

At Xu Xiao Gang's current age, it was the peak time for hero complex. Hearing this, he hurriedly pestered Xu Xiao Jiao and asked her to tell the story again.

Xu Xiao Jiao's eloquence was already great. On top of that, she deliberately wanted to establish Song Wei Ping's heroic image. As the story was told, both Grandma Song and Wu Chun Hua were fascinated.

"At that time, there were more than one person shouting around. When they saw your Elder Brother-in-law knocking the thief unconscious, they swarmed up and tied up the thief. They all praised your Elder Brother-in-law for getting rid of harm to the people."

"Later, when they arrived at the police station, we found out that the thief had done a lot of bad things. In the past month, many people had called the police. He stole people's earrings, necklaces, wallets, and bicycles. He relied on his speed of cycling. And he carries a knife. Even if someone could catch up with him, he could scare them away by showing the knife. He happened to hide well. The police searched for several days but couldn't find him."

"The police comrade even praised your Elder Brother-in-law. The victims even wrote a letter of thanks to your Elder Brother-in-law together overnight."

Song Wei Ping drank water while listening to Xu Xiao Jiao talk about what happened yesterday. The whole process was thrilling. In Xu Xiao Jiao's words, he simply became a hero who outsmarted gangsters and eliminated harm for the people.

Song Wei Ping lowered his eyes and smiled. Xiao Jiao Jiao, who was scared to tears yesterday, was full of life and energy again today and started to praise him. Have to say, this feeling wasn’t bad.

After Xu Xiao Gang listened, he felt that Song Wei Ping's height in his heart was so high that he couldn't even look up, "Elder Brother-in-law, you are so amazing!"

He suddenly jumped up and performed several punching and kicking actions. "Elder Brother-in-law, were you like this? Like the martial arts masters on television, you defeat the bad guys in a few strokes. When I meet the bad guys, I will fight like this too!"

Grandma Song and Wu Chun Hua hurriedly said, "Don't dare. You better not dare. You have such a small body."

Unconvinced, Xu Xiao Gang puffed out his chest, "What's wrong with me? I'm also very powerful."

Xu Xiao Jiao laughed at her, "You are far from your Elder Brother-in-law. Your Elder Brother-in-law has learned some fighting skills from others and has a good foundation. With your three-legged cat skills, you got to run away from bad guys when you see them, understand?"

Grandma Song and Wu Chun Hua both nodded.

Seeing that Xu Xiao Gang was a little frustrated, Song Wei Ping put down the water glass and said, "When I’m better, I will teach you a few tricks. If you practice more, you will become better and better in the future."

Xu Xiao Gang was immediately elated, "Yeah! Elder Brother-in-law, you are the best."

Everyone started laughing.

No matter how thrilling the process was, Song Wei Ping was injured in the end. Although Wu Chun Hua was frightened, she was very concerned about Song Wei Ping's injury this time. She didn't let him do any work and cooked in different ways every day to nurture her son-in-law well.

Sometimes when she was busy, Xu Xiao Gang volunteered to cook. He was now very good at cooking and the food he cooked tasted great.

Xu Xiao Jiao also had an errand. Song Wei Ping's right arm, which he usually used most, was injured. She couldn't help with food and drink, but she had to help him with dressing and undressing morning and night.

After only two days of doing this job, Xu Xiao Jiao couldn't stand it anymore. She had reasonable doubts that dog Song Wei Ping was deliberately trying to seduce her!
