Chapter 51: Life hangs by a thread
At this time, the old lady also heard that the owner was joking, and she grabbed the chopsticks with this word, looking like she was afraid that others would snatch it, and glared, "That's not possible, where can I find this good job." ”
Everyone laughed, and Dong Rong invited Gui Sheng to eat together. Mrs. Yu knew how to be very measured, and she took a bowl of rice and asked her son to take the cabbage and meat slices to the side of the tree to eat. Dong Rong smiled when she saw this, and she stopped being polite.
Sister-in-law Liu and Meihua went down the mountain together after picking up the dishes and chopsticks, and the sun also completely fell below the horizon at this time, and the heavy twilight shrouded the earth, and there was no sound in the mountains and forests except for the occasional contence of birds and birds, peaceful and quiet.
Yu Guisheng took out the dried artemisia grass from the back of the hut, carefully lit it under the window and smoked it for a long time to ensure that the mosquitoes would not run into the house and bite the owner and the old lady, so he took the futon he brought and spread it in the grass shed halfway up the mountainside. Seeing this, Dong Rong liked the empathetic mother and son more and more.
There was nothing to say all night, and it was a busy day to get up early the next day. The handymen have to pick up sand and gravel from the river beach two miles away today to pave the road, which is a hard work. Two large baskets filled with river sand are 100 catties, one back and forth is four miles, and those with slightly worse bodies can't walk two back and forth.
Dong Rong took the money early and asked the people who bought it to prepare more pork, and then instructed Sister-in-law Liu and Meihua to replace the soup for lunch with stew. As the old saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass. It's the same with people, only when you have a full stomach can you have the strength to work. Sure enough, when I heard that there were meat dishes to eat at noon, everyone seemed to have lightened the burden on their shoulders, and they trotted like a breeze under their feet.
Mrs. Yu refused to eat idle dinner, smiled and picked up Dong Rong's changed clothes and went to the spring to wash, which made Dong Rong have leisure for a while. After thinking about it, she found a pair of scissors and continued to take care of the apple trees.
It's like a family with too many children, and parents must be tired. When there are more fruits on fruit trees, the nutrients provided by the roots will also be stretched, so that the fruits are different in size or small overall. And changing this situation is very simple, choose the best to stay.
What Dong Rong has to do today is to remove the fruits, she carefully cut off those small and shady fruits, leaving only one hundred and ten of the largest and best on each tree, and then put on a special oiled paper bag to prevent insects and birds from pecking in a few days, and then you can wait for the fruits to grow up with peace of mind.
She was so busy until the sun rose in the middle of the sky that she took care of the two fruit trees, and the remaining two had to wait for the afternoon. Old lady Yu didn't see Dong Rong for a long time, so she walked around the fruit tree and shouted, "Boss, where are you, it's time to have lunch." ”
Dong Rong knew that the old lady's eyes were not good, so she hurriedly poked her head out of the canopy, and responded, "Auntie, I'm here, I'll go back immediately." ”
The old lady put her hand on the pergola, squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "Boss, why did you climb the tree?" What kind of work do you call someone to do... Huh? That's... White belt! ”
Dong Rong was holding the trunk of the tree with both hands and was about to jump down, when she heard the old lady screaming and didn't know what was going on, she suddenly felt a pain in her arm, she subconsciously turned her head, and saw a small snake with a shiny body flicking its tail and quickly disappearing among the leaves.
"Did I get bitten by a snake?" With this question, she didn't even have time to be frightened before she fell under the tree and fainted completely.
Mrs. Yu stumbled and ran to her, helped her and shouted, "Dongjia, Dongjia, you were bitten?" Boss, speak quickly. ”
In front of the hut, everyone was queuing up to receive stews and cakes, and they also ran over when they heard the movement. Zhao Qingshan and the others have been wandering around the orchard all the year round, and they have some experience, and when they saw Dong Rong's face darkened, they shouted, "It's a bad thing, the owner was bitten by poison." You have to find the wound quickly and suck the poisonous blood out. ”
Sister-in-law Liu bent down and hugged Dong Rong and ran to the hut, and when she could enter the inner room and peel off Dong Rong's clothes, she was dumbfounded. Dong Rong's right arm was already swollen like a lotus root at this time, and the wound was black and shiny, showing that this poison was extremely domineering and powerful. She wanted to help with drug use, but she hesitated when she remembered the children at home who were waiting to be fed. The plum blossoms that followed up were also so frightened that they gasped, rubbing their hands together and not knowing what to do.
It was such an emergency time, but Mrs. Yu groped and grabbed Dong Rong's arm and sucked it down against the wound. Meihua screamed and was about to step forward, but the old lady Yu waved her hand desperately, and finally spit out a mouthful of black blood and shouted, "Quickly bring the basin, and find the antidote powder." ”
As soon as Sister-in-law Liu heard this, she stumbled to the corner of the house and brought a copper basin, and Meihua also opened the door and shouted that everyone was rummaging for medicinal powder. Fortunately, insects and snakes are common in the mountains, and they are somewhat guarded. Some of the handymen tied a medicine bag to their waists, tore it open and poured out most of it, stirred it into a paste, and applied it to the wound.
Sister-in-law Liu was sweating profusely, but seeing that the wound was also wrapped in a white cotton cloth, Dong Rong's face was still blue and black, so she muttered in a low voice, "What kind of poison has this encountered?" I'm afraid I'm going to find a doctor to take a look, in case it's very toxic, but..."
The old lady Yu held her dizzy head, reluctantly leaned on the side of the bed and said, "Hurry up and ask someone to ask for a doctor, the owner was bitten by a white ribbon." It's all my fault for being blind, and it's too late to remind me! ”
"Oh, it's white ribbon. Then our medicinal powder doesn't work, Zhao is in charge, Zhao is in charge! "Sister-in-law Liu ran out and called someone to come into the city to ask for a doctor.
There is a folk song around Qingxian that sang, "White belt, white impermanence, three more wake up, five more die." "It's about the domineering nature of the poisonous snake of the white belt, but if you are bitten, if you don't rescue it in time, you will die in less than two hours.
The handymen had no intention of eating, and gathered outside the house to talk in a low voice. At this time, when he heard that the owner was bitten by a white belt, all his faces changed, Liu Ergou didn't say a word, and ran down the mountain with a young man with fast legs.
Zhao Qingshan hesitated to ask Sister-in-law Liu if she wanted to sue the Cao family, and Sister-in-law Liu remembered the mean appearance of Mrs. Cao's treatment of her daughter-in-law on weekdays, so she said, "Send someone to Uncle Cao to say, where others are... Let's keep it a secret. ”
Zhao Qingshan also understood the pass, sighed and casually pulled out a descendant and explained two sentences. The latter was born honest and wooden, and he was not a person with a slope, so after he could enter the village, he would look for someone to ask where the Cao family lived. I didn't want to meet Chen Lao Er, who was bored and wandering around, Chen Lao Er crooked his eyes and looked at Hou Sheng for a long time before he raised his hand and pointed in the direction, and finally asked casually, "What are you looking for the Cao family?" ”
The latter was panicked by him, bent down and thanked him and said, "Our owner is the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, and the owner was bitten by a poisonous snake and fell unconscious. ”
"Your host is the daughter-in-law of the Cao family..."Chen Lao Er was still a little dazed before, but after he understood it, he jumped up suddenly, his eyes purring. The big girl of the Dong family was bitten by a snake and fell unconscious? Is it going to die? Isn't that orchard going to fall on the Cao family!
He rubbed his hands vigorously in excitement, and at the end of the day, he ran to the west mountain. Hou Sheng staggered a few steps and shouted, "What are you doing, I'm going to Cao's house to report the news!" ”
"Don't go, I'm the Cao family. What's there, I've got the final say! ”
When the latter heard this, he stopped struggling and led him all the way up the mountain.
Zhao Qingshan, Sister-in-law Liu and others were in a hurry, and after such a long time, not only did Dong Rong not wake up, but even the old lady Yu, who was helping with drug use, fainted. Yu Guisheng was about to run to the city with his mother in his arms, and everyone touched the old lady's nose and breath, and his face was not bruised, so they persuaded him to wait for the doctor to come over with peace of mind, otherwise the old lady would suffer even more if he tossed into the city.
It was when the war was in chaos, and Chen Lao Er came up the mountain. Zhao Qingshan and Liu's sister-in-law frowned together, and they had the intention to let him leave, but it happened that the owner was unconscious, they were all hired laborers, and they were really a bit unjustifiable.
Chen Lao Er glanced at everyone with slanted eyes, pouted his lips and was about to enter the house. Sister-in-law Liu gritted her teeth with hatred, stepped forward to stop him, and said angrily, "Our host was bitten on the arm by a snake, how can the second brother be a big man and go into the house to see?" The doctor will be here in a moment, so you should sit and wait. ”
Chen Lao Er's body was as thin as a rooster, and he was hit by Liu's sister-in-law with a big waist and a round waist. Finally stabilized his body, he glared and scolded loudly, "You get out of here!" This orchard is our Cao family's property, Sister Rong is my brother-in-law, she doesn't know her life and death at this time, why can't I go in and have a look! Are you all looking forward to her death, and then steal the gold and silver treasures? ”
Sister-in-law Liu was so angry that her face turned pale, and her arms were tightly protected at the door, and she retorted, "Whoever wants to share the silver knows in their hearts, the sky is blue and the sky is white, God can watch it, whoever has a bad heart will be thundered by the sky!" ”
Chen Lao Er glanced at the big sun above his head with a little weakness, and finally made up his mind to go into the house to see if Dong Rong was dead or alive. If he dies, it will be the best, and the whole orchard will be up to him from now on. If he is still alive, then he can also turn out the gold and silver property first and carry it into his arms under the guise of temporary storage, and as for asking for it when she recovers in the future, it depends on his mood.
"Get out of the way for me, or don't blame me for doing it!"
"You dare to touch me to try it, see if my child's father doesn't break your legs!" Sister-in-law Liu also let it go, and just now she hesitated and didn't take drugs for the owner, and she felt a little guilty in her heart. At this time, if Chen Lao Er ruins the name of the owner and robs the property, then she really has no face to see the owner again.
The handymen thought that Dong Rong would treat them well on weekdays, and they also stepped forward and shouted, "Let's wait for the doctor to come, it's not easy for Second Brother Chen to go in." ”
Chen Lao Er was annoyed, and he was afraid that the matter would drag on for a long time, and Old Man Cao would get the news, so he pushed everyone away and was about to break into the house.
It was the time of the noise, and everyone only felt that there was a flower in front of them, and suddenly there was one more person in front of the door. ZM
