Chapter 26 Injured

"What's happened?" Xia Xiao, seeing Gao Jiaxing unconscious and still covered in blood, was immediately startled and hurriedly dropped her basket to rush over.

"Xia Xiao, be careful not to fall," Yang Xuehua called out as she picked up the basket Xia Xiao had left behind and followed.

Gao Jiazhi, He Xuexiang, and He Xuebing took turns carrying Gao Jiaxing down the mountain, which showed just how seriously injured Jiaxing was.

At this moment, Luo Mingzhe had a pale face, while Liu Yue was wailing miserably; both were in a state of utter disarray, as if they'd narrowly escaped from the jaws of death, making everyone's hearts pound with fear.

Ge Lai then shouted at Luo Mingzhe and Liu Yue, "Do you **ing know how deadly hunting in the mountains is, you **ing even took a girl with you, who gave you the balls to enter the bear cave, are you trying to get us all killed? If it weren't for Gao Er, I would've nearly lost my life there, I'm telling you, if something happens to Gao Er, I, Ge Lai, will not let it go."

"Ge Lai, what happened? Did you encounter a bear?" Liu Haihua hastily asked, and upon scanning the crowd and not finding Liu Haiguo, she asked again, "Where's my brother?"

"Your brother, your brother ran off without a trace," Ge Lai replied angrily, not expecting that in a moment of danger, his close childhood friend Liu Haiguo would be the first to flee.

"How can you say that? My brother must have gone to call for help," Liu Haihua said, her eyes shining brightly at the news of a bear encounter in the mountains.

Ge Lai didn't say anything more, but the fact that Liu Haiguo had abandoned him and it was Gao Jiaxing, Gao Jiazhi, He Xuexiang, and He Xuebing who rescued him had left a lump in his chest.

"Hong Xing, what happened? Did you run into a bear?" Liu Haihua asked someone next to Ge Lai.

"What encounter, we nearly lost our lives there; those were two big black bears, we were totally unprepared. Who would've thought that Educated Youth Luo and Educated Youth Liu would follow everyone into the mountains and enter the bear cave where the black bears resided, waking them up and being chased out, then leading the bears to us. Your damn brother, who had the gun, ran first, and Ge Lai was saved by Gao Er. Gao Er is seriously injured now, I don't want to say more."

Just as Ge Lai and Hong Xing were about to chase after Gao Jiazhi and the others, they saw Liu Haiguo and several others rushing back in a panic.

"I heard Gao Er was injured, where is he?"

Seeing Liu Haiguo only infuriated Ge Lai further, who turned his head away and stayed silent, while Hong Xing said, "Ah Zhi, Brother Gangzi, and Bingzi have taken him to the clinic."

"I went to call for help, it's a pity my second uncle is usually at the foot of the mountain, but today I didn't see anyone," Liu Haiguo explained. But since he'd run off himself with a gun, it felt somewhat disgraceful, and although no one said anything to Haiguo at this moment, it was certainly uncomfortable for everyone.

"Let's go take a look."

A large group set off down the mountain en masse, with Xia Xiao running all the way behind Gao Jiazhi and the others, panting heavily. Along the way, she also heard that Gao Jiaxing was injured while saving Ge Lai. Xia Xiao's heart was in her throat; although sometimes annoyed by Jiaxing's sharp tongue, she didn't want anything to happen to him, especially since sometimes he could be quite good.

"Educated Youth Xia, you don't have to follow, if you have time, please go back and let my parents know, we're taking Jiaxing to the hospital now, ask them to bring money," Gao Jiazhi told Xia Xiao.

"I'm fine, don't let the family know," Gao Jiaxing said weakly.

"You're bleeding from the mouth, don't talk," Gao Jiazhi scolded Gao Jiaxing with a glare and then instructed Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao nodded, watching as Gao Jiazhi and the others left; when she saw Yang Xuehua and Wang Aihua also rushing after them, she quickly said, "Sister Aihua, Sister Xuehua, you guys go take a look, I'll go back to the production team first to inform the team leader and auntie."

Xia Xiao said this and ran off. She actually wanted to use the spring water from her space for Gao Jiaxing, but in the public eye, there would be trouble if the doctors discovered it at the hospital. Besides, Gao Jiaxing was still able to talk at this moment, so the situation wasn't as life-threatening as she had feared, which made Xia Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xia Xiao was still overly cautious; she didn't believe that just because she had been reborn, she was smarter or more intelligent than the people of this era. After all, not everyone was a fool.

However, when returning to tell the team leader and Zheng Xianghong, Xia Xiao still made use of her space. She didn't dare do so quickly, planting the saplings and wild vegetables from her space before she appeared at the production team.

"Team leader, is auntie at home?" Xia Xiao called at the entrance of the Gao family's house.

"Xia Xiao, didn't you go with Jiaxing and the others to visit the county town? Why are you back so soon?" Zheng Xianghong came out of the house.

Xia Xiao quickly said, "Auntie, Brother Gao and Brother Gao Er went hunting in Nanhua Mountain with the people from the Red Star Production Team. Brother Gao Er got injured by a Black Bear while saving Ge Lai; Brother Gao and the others have taken him to the hospital. Brother Gao said to take money with you."

"What, Jiaxing got hurt by a bear." The entire person of Zheng Xianghong felt somewhat dizzy.

Xia Xiao got startled and hurried to support Zheng Xianghong, "Auntie, don't worry. Brother Gao Er has great fortune and won't be in any danger."

Zheng Xianghong hurried towards the door, with Xia Xiao following. She saw Zheng Xianghong enter a door and get scolded, "You unlucky star, what are you doing here? Who let you into my house? Get out, I said get out!"

"Mom, I'm looking for Guoqiang. Let him come out," Zheng Xianghong urged, continually blocking Old Lady Gao's broom while backing away.

Xia Xiao saw Zheng Xianghong being chased out by Old Lady Gao wielding a broomstick, which shocked her. She hadn't expected Old Lady Gao to be so fierce.

"Mom, it's the New Year, how could you do this?"

Gao Guoqiang and the Gao Guofu family came out. Gao Guoqiang, upon seeing Old Lady Gao treating Zheng Xianghong this way, also showed his dissatisfaction. All these years had passed, and Old Lady Gao still didn't view Zheng Xianghong favorably.

"How could I do this? Am I not allowed to keep her from cursing me by coming over? She just needs to stay in her own house; could I make life difficult for her? During the New Year's, is she hoping for my death, and you too?"

Old Lady Gao's words went too far, also implicating Gao Guoqiang.

"Third brother, you should take your wife home," Gao Guofu said. Quarreling over the New Year would only amuse the other villagers.

"Guoqiang, Jiaxing got hurt, wu wu..." Zheng Xianghong couldn't help but start crying.

Gao Guoqiang was startled, "What happened?"

Old Lady Gao's broom had already swung over, "I said you were an unlucky star, and I wasn't wrong. You've gone and hexed my grandson again. Get out, just get out! If you come to my door again, you'll get beaten every time I see you."

"Team leader, Brother Gao Er and the people from the Red Star Production Team went to the mountain. He got injured by a Black Bear while saving Ge Lai, and now Brother Gao and the others have taken him to the hospital," Xia Xiao said hurriedly.

Zheng Xianghong wiped her tears and said again, "Where's the money? Jiaxing also needs money for his life-saving treatment."
