Chapter 93: Bruises
It took Lu Yao about ten minutes, using both hands and feet, to finally climb the dirt and stone road. With all his strength he stood, he stood up and braved the rain to walk towards the shack.
He walked with great difficulty for another five minutes before he reached the barbed wire door. He held the doorpost of the iron door with his left hand, and reached in with his right hand through the crack in the door to pull the latch, but he touched the copper lock, and A-Ying had already locked it. The two earth dogs hiding in the kennel had just barked twice, and they were stopped by Lu Yao's voice.
"Big sister, open the door! I'm Lu Yao!" he shouted for the door, raising his hand to wipe the salty rain and sweat from his face.
"Hey, here we go!" replied A-Ying from the room.
After a while, A-Ying came out of the courtyard with an umbrella and a flashlight and opened the door for Lu Yao.
When Lu Yao, who was carrying a heavy package and was in a mess, walked into the yard, A-Ying was so frightened that she exclaimed: "Lu Yao, have you wrestled? Are you injured?
"I'm fine, I fell at the intersection into the orchard, and the hat may still be hanging on that lychee tree, and I put it down and go get it back. Lu Yao spat the rain in his mouth, gasped for breath, and said in a slurred voice.
"What kind of hat do you take? As long as the person is okay. Can you still walk in? I'll help you put your things down, and we'll carry them in together. A-Ying said that she was going to help Lu Yao unload the package on her back.
"I can go, go in and put it down, I don't know if the bag has been scratched." Lu Yao said and walked directly into the courtyard.
Lu Yao walked to the dining table, put the package on the table, and then slowly took off his raincoat.
"Ahh
When A-Ying came out with the medicine box, Lu Yao had already gone into the shower room to take a bath.
"Lu Yao, you have injuries on your body, you can't touch raw water, it's easy to get infected!" Ah Ying shouted.
"It's okay, just scratch some skin, wash it and apply medicine!" Lu Yao responded.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yao took a shower, got dressed, and walked out of the shower room as if nothing had happened, and put the rest of the money on the table.
"Come and sit down, I'll disinfect your wounds! What are you carrying? Why is this package so big?" asked A-Ying.
"It's rice, meat and vegetables. Give me the medicine kit, and I'll go back to my room and take care of the wound myself. Lu Yao said.
"Sit down! How can you take care of your wounds? Sit down, I'll clean and disinfect the wound first, and then apply medicine to stop the bleeding! Didn't I tell you not to buy rice? Why are you disobedient? The rain is so heavy, the mountain roads are slippery, and you don't bring a flashlight when it's dark, how dangerous it is!" Ah Ying complained as she quickly took out all kinds of medicine bottles, cotton swabs, and instruments from the medicine box.
"I think the rain won't stop for a while and a half, and it's okay for us to eat pasta for a long time, but a few babies definitely can't, so I bought a hundred catties of rice. Lu Yao sat on the stool and said with a smile.
"What? You also carried a hundred catties of rice back? Do you think you are a superman? Lu Yao, it's not my sister who blames you, you are also such a big person, before doing anything, you must consider the consequences, you must do what you can, you can't be brutal. You said tonight, if you really have an accident on the way, what will be the consequences? How can Ah Xin and I explain to your parents?" Ah Ying asked while treating the wounds on Lu Yao's ears and face.
"Eldest sister, I was wrong, I'm sorry for you, I'll pay attention to it later. Lu Yao replied in a low voice.
"Are there any injuries anywhere else on your body?" asked A-Ying.
"No, minor abrasions on my hands and feet don't matter, I'll just rub some medicine myself. Lu Yao replied.
After Ah Ying helped Lu Yao treat the wounds on his ears, face, back of hands, and two knees, she found that Lu Yao's neck was a little bloodshot, and she hurriedly said: "Take off your shirt, you have a wound on your neck, I'll help you take a look." ”
"Huh, it's okay, I'm ······ myself."
"Do you still think I am your eldest sister? Hurry up, what are you doing grinding and chirping? What is the family embarrassed about?" Ah Ying Zhengyan shouted.
Lu Yao hesitated again, and when he saw A-Ying's concerned and stern eyes, he had to take off his shirt. Several long and deep blood marks on his body made A-Ying tremble when he saw it.
In particular, the few scars on his shoulders were even more shocking. In the deep blood marks strangled by the nylon rope, you can also see the torn flesh skin, and the blood has soaked the clothes.
A-Ying treated Lu Yao's wound with tears in her eyes. After she bandaged the wounds on her shoulders, she asked in a trembling voice, "Lu Yao, are you sure that there are no injuries to other parts of your body?"
"I'm sure, you've taken care of all the wounds on my body, thank you, eldest sister!" Lu Yao said gratefully.
"Don't be polite as a family, if you want to say thank you, it should be me to say to you. You came up with such a heavy thing on your back, and you fell, and there must be injuries in some places, you are embarrassed to show me. In this way, you take the medicine box into your room, take care of it yourself, and I'll cook for you. After Ah Ying finished speaking, she turned around with tears in her eyes and walked into the room.
"Big sister, you don't need to cook. Do you have any leftovers? I'll just eat some of them, and I'll go to the kitchen myself. Lu Yao said.
"We ate all the rice noodles we ate. You don't do anything until the wounds on your body are completely healed. Pay special attention not to touch raw water, I will do cooking and laundry. You hurry to the room, take care of the wounds on your body that have not been treated, and I will go to cook for you after washing my hands, and it will be fine in a while. A-Ying said.
An hour later, Lu Yao walked out of the room and saw that a plate of stir-fried beef with celery, a bowl of egg and cauliflower soup, a bowl of rice, and a rice cooker were already on the table. The package that had just been placed on the table was gone.
"Sister, let's eat together, how can I eat so many meals by myself?, what about the things I put on the table just now?" Lu Yao asked.
"You must be hungry, you eat slowly, we're all full. I put vegetables and meat in the kitchen, and rice in our room. The bags were not broken, and no rain went in. A-Ying said softly.
"Ah, that's a hundred catties of rice!, how did you move in?" Lu Yao asked in surprise.
"You underestimate the eldest sister, don't you? Didn't I tell you? I'm also from the countryside. When we were doing farm work at home, it was common for us to carry 100 catties of rice and more than 100 catties of chemical fertilizer. Carrying a hundred pounds of rice from the table into the room was not difficult for me. A-Ying said with a smile.
