Chapter Eighty-Nine: Wolf Attack
Don't you know the way? You are the daughter-in-law that Brother Li bought with money, and the co-wife of the Li family!
——
Li Man was in a daze, and somehow came here, with a lush tree in front of him, and he could only hear the insects in the grass quietly.
She sat down on the ground leaning against the roots of the tree, a pair of embroidered shoes were already muddy, and she was too lazy to care, and only what Peony had said kept flashing in her mind, as well as her slightly surprised and sympathetic eyes.
Overhead, under the shade of towering trees, only a small patch of blue sky moraine is exposed.
She suddenly remembered something modern.
The little girl who had congenital heart disease and could only stand in the corner and watch enviously as her friends played with rubber bands.
On the field of the sports meeting, she was not even qualified to cheer for people on the side, listening to the constant shouts from the campus, but she could only stay at home, looking at the pot of sunflowers on the windowsill, and how many leaves were missing.
On the campus of the university, under the plane tree, the couple who walk together can always envy people's eyes, but she is so nervous because of the first date that she is in shock, completely frightening the boy who wants to get close to her.
Later later, later
After graduating from college, when other classmates were busy with work, she was arranged by her parents to have a lifelong event.
That man, with a good family background, good looks, high education, and good work, sank into that man's warm smile when they met for the first time.
She felt that this was God's compensation for her, giving her such a good man.
After marriage, the two respected each other like guests, plain as water, but she still felt very happy.
From a little girl who didn't know anything, she learned to cook housework, learn to cook, and cook all kinds of delicacies to serve him.
However, the warm smile when they met for the first time appeared less and less in his eyes.
He often comes home late or doesn't even come home
Suddenly, feeling that his eyes were astringent, Li Man reached out and rubbed his eyes, there were tears in the corners of his eyes, and his little face was also moist.
Is she crying?
originally thought that these otherworldly lives had made her gradually forget the past, but she didn't expect it to become clearer at this moment.
She misses her family, she misses that era, and even the man who betrayed her
The Li family is already in a mess at the moment.
Li Shu's eyes were red, and he secretly rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand behind his back, "That mother-in-law can't run away again?" ”
"No, it won't." Li Hua's expression was pale, and he didn't know if he was to comfort the third brother or to comfort himself.
Xiao Wuyi rubbed his eyes and cried, "I want a sister." ”
"Big brother?" Li Yan sat on the kang and looked at Li Mo as if asking.
Li Mo frowned and said, "Don't think about it, she must not have escaped by herself." ”
"Hmm." Li Yan's expression was also a little more solemn, "Big brother, I'm worried that something will happen to her." ”
"Yes." Li Mo also said, "I just looked around the village, I didn't see anyone, it seems to be afternoon, we have to find her before dark." Second brother, you and the third brother go to the field in front of the village to take a look, fourth brother, you still have a look in the village, I'll go to the back mountain, Xiao Wu, you stay at home, in case she comes back later. ”
"Hmm." As soon as he heard that Li Man would come back, Xiao Wu choked up a few times and got up from the ground.
"Big brother, why don't I accompany you to the back mountain?" Li Shu felt that the back mountain was more dangerous, and he didn't worry about the eldest brother alone.
Li Mo waved his hand and said, "Your second brother still has injuries on his body, you follow him, I can rest assured." ”
"Then let's go to the back mountain." Li Yan said.
"How can you know me?" Li Mo said.
The brothers were silent, they all knew that the eldest brother had been hunting in the mountains since he was a child, and no one could compare to the terrain on the mountain, as well as the ability to distinguish smells and various dangers.
"Okay, after an hour, whether you find it or not, you will go home first." Li Mo explained another sentence after the most reluctance, and everyone dispersed.
——
Time seemed to stand still, and the bright sunlight filtered through the dense cracks in the trees, casting mottled shadows on her.
Li Man squinted his eyes, staring at the narrow blue sky through the top, like a stone carving.
I don't know how long later, a gust of wind blew, the leaves rustled, and a few broad leaves fell lightly on her body, and she was suddenly startled, as if she had woken up from a dream, and a spirit suddenly got up from the ground.
How long has she been out? The family should be in a hurry, right? Since she arrived at Li's house, she has never come out alone.
Li Man patted the grass clippings sticky to his clothes, turned around and wanted to go down the mountain to go home, but he didn't want to, as soon as he turned his head, he bumped into a pair of cold and murderous eyes.
Is it a dog?
Oh no, it's a wolf, a fierce wolf who wants to eat people.
The blood in his whole body instantly surged up to his brain, Li Man wanted to run, but his legs were numb and soft, and he was shaking like sifting chaff, where could he run a step?
The wolf seemed to see Li Man's timidity, and paced towards her with faint steps.
Li Man wanted to retreat, but her feet were weak, and she fell to the ground with her buttocks, and the wolf's eyes were suddenly cold, and her limbs kicked and pounced on her quickly.
"Ahh As if his heart suddenly stopped beating, Li Man screamed, instinctively grabbed the grass clippings on the ground and smashed it at it, and he ran behind the tree with a rolling belt.
However, before she could get up on her front feet, the wolf's agile body had already pounced on her, and she closed her eyes in fright, waiting in fear for the pain of her neck being bitten.
But what he was waiting for was not pain, but a force that hugged him and took her to roll on the ground a few times.
When she opened her eyes, before she could see the man, she saw the man's agile figure and the wolf hugging each other, and rolling down a small low slope down the bottom of the tree.
Li Man hurriedly got up and looked there, and saw that the wolf was pressed against Li Mo, with its fangs open.
And Li Mo grabbed the wolf's neck with both hands, so that it had no way to bite at him.
"Big brother." When Li Man was flustered, she picked up a wooden branch, which was too thin, threw it and wanted to change it, and finally found a thick wooden stick as if she was spinning around, and hurriedly grabbed it and ran down the slope, but the slope was too steep, she ran in a hurry, and her feet were broken, and her head was planted first, and the whole person rolled down.
"Man'er." Li Mo watched Li Man roll down, motionless, his chest suddenly seemed to burst, he pinched the wolf with both hands, tried his best to shake it off, and ran towards Li Man by himself.
And the wolf was obviously hungry and ruthless, it was impossible for this meat to be put away like this, and at this moment, Li Mo ran with his back to it, which was equivalent to exposing his biggest weakness to the wolf, and the wind under the wolf's feet pounced on Li Mo quickly and forcefully again, and he wanted to bite the back of his neck directly.
This time, the wolf was ruthless, and although Li Moshan was timely, he still scratched a blood mark on his back.
As soon as Li Man opened his eyes from the dizziness, he saw this thrilling scene, screamed in fright, grabbed the stick in his hand, got up and hit the wolf.
Still, she was short.
Li Mo tore and fought with the wolf again, but this time he had the upper hand, and his mountain-like thick body pressed hard against the wolf's body, and a pair of big palms pinched the wolf's neck fiercely, fiercely
After a while, there was a faint smell of blood in the air, and Li Man thought it was a wound on Li Mo's back, but when he stepped forward, the wolf didn't move, his mouth was open, and there was blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth.
He strangled the wolf to death? Li Man was stunned, his little hand was still holding the stick, and he didn't know how to put it down.
Li Mo tiredly rolled off the wolf, sat down beside him, and slowly pulled the wound on his back, and hissed from his mouth.
Li Man came back to his senses and hurried over, "How are you?" ”
She wanted to see how his back was injured, but Li Mo stretched out his hand to stop her, "I'm fine, you help me up." ”
"Okay." Li Man held his arm and helped him stand up, and naturally wrapped one hand around his waist, so that he could lean on himself.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Seeing that her little face was tense, Li Mo comforted softly, but her arms were still on her shoulders.
"No, I just saw the wolf catch you." Li Mo's voice was still a little trembling, suddenly, the cold liquid dripped onto the back of her hand, she instinctively turned her head to look back, and found that she was holding the hand on his waist, and there were a few blood stains, and when she looked up, his gray cloth shirt, the back had been scratched, and a blur of flesh and blood could be vaguely seen from her angle.
Her little face turned pale and she looked at him in surprise, "Your back is still dripping blood." ”
"It's okay, I was touched by that brute." Li Mo smiled at her nonchalantly, and then picked up the wooden stick she had just dropped, walked to the wolf's side, and drew a circle around it.
Li Man followed and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Although this beast's fur is a little worse, but fortunately, it is not damaged at all, it should be worth some silver, and I will let the third brother come over and drag it back later." Li Mo threw away the stick and said.
No wonder he just pinched it? Isn't it just to hurt its fur? Seeing that he still had a dagger pinned to his waist, Li Man suddenly became a little angry, "Don't you even want your own life for the sake of wolf skin?" Do you know how dangerous it was just now? ”
If he hadn't flashed fast, the injury would not have been his back, but his neck
"It's really okay." Seeing her staring at her watery eyes, Li Mo was obviously a little panicked, he was not a master who didn't want to die, he was confident that he would take it down in one fell swoop, but Li Man's fall made him completely panicked, and he ran towards her without caring about it at that time, but was exploited by the wolf.
Li Man glanced at him, and hurriedly went over to support him, but Li Mo wanted to withdraw his hand and go by himself to show that he was really fine, but she glanced at him fiercely, "Still strong?" It's all injured like this, hurry up and go home to find a doctor. ”
"Oh." Li Mo pursed his lips and was speechless.
The two kept walking down the mountain, Li Man felt guilty and a little moved, the guilt was that he had injured Li Mo, moved, Li Mo didn't ask anything along the way.
Yes, co-wife, a word that makes her feel ridiculous when she thinks about it, but she can't blame anyone, she is a wisp of grievances in another world, occupying other people's bodies, perhaps, the owner himself and this family of brothers live very happily, but when she comes, she breaks this happiness.
But, please give her a little more time to digest such a terrifying message, she needs to get used to it, maybe, at some point in the future, she can accept it, but not now.
Li Mo cooperated with her rhythm, walking slowly, his heart was also tense like a string, whether she wanted to run away again, he didn't dare to be sure, and he didn't want to be sure, the only thing he felt was that she was like a frightened rabbit at the moment, and she was in desperate need of protection.
"Big brother?" At this time, at the foot of the mountain, Li Shu quickly ran towards this side, and Li Yan behind him also slowed down.
Li Man's body stiffened, and he leaned towards Li Mo as if he was a little withdrawn, Li Shu had a straight temper, would he ask her the reason for running away from home? And she didn't think of an excuse.
"Big brother, are you hurt?" Fortunately, Li Shu's attention was all focused on the injured Li Mo, he only glanced at Li Man lightly, and then helped Li Mo over from her, then turned around and said in a low voice, "Daughter-in-law, let's go home." ”
"Oh." He didn't ask anything, Li Man's heart was sour and warm, and he trotted to follow.
Li Yan still had a hurt face, but she still walked over and walked beside Li Man, although she didn't say a word, it made her feel endless pressure.
——
When he got home, Li Mo lay on the kang, facing the worried and puzzled eyes of several younger brothers, and didn't want to say too much, so he sent them all out.
Li Shu went up the mountain to pull the wolf's corpse, and Li Yan went with Li Hua to ask for a doctor.
The remaining Xiao Wu leaned on the kang head, holding his hand, choked with tears, saying that every time the eldest brother came home injured, he would cry, and the rest of the family was used to it, only Li Man listened to him crying, and he was sad and wanted to cry, especially when he saw Li Mo's wound so deep, his hands trembled.
"Take off your shirt, huh? I'll wash your wounds. ”
Li Mo hurriedly refused, "Don't be, the doctor will deal with it when he comes." He was afraid that the bloody wound would scare her.
Li Man glared at him, and rubbed a few handfuls of warm water with a clean cloth first, "The doctor won't scrub your wounds when he comes." ”
"Three Brothers in One Meeting"
"Get out of here." Will Li Shu be clumsy and clumsy better than her? Li Man put down the cloth and stretched out his hand to think of coming by himself.
Li Mo sat up hurriedly and took off his coat with some embarrassment.
"Your clothes here are all torn and taken off." Li Man pointed beside him.
Li Mo's face was a little unnatural, "It doesn't matter, just wipe the blood stains on the side." ”
Isn't he shy? Li Manhu looked at his dense cheeks suspiciously, and sure enough, he noticed a trace of abnormality, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, even such a thing as a co-wife can be accepted, are you still afraid of being seen by her? What's more, Li Yan and Li Shu have all been shirtless in front of her.
Being stared at by her like this, Li Mo was even more uncomfortable, so he had to turn his back, take off his underwear, and lie on the kang with his upper body naked.
Li Man didn't speak again, half-dried Bu Ning's half-dry, and gently helped him wipe the blood on the edge of the wound.
Despite her mental preparation, the deep blood on her sturdy back stung her eyes.
He finally cleaned his wound and wiped it around with wine, and when it was done, she was already drenched in sweat.
"Tired, aren't you? Take a break. Li Mo heard her take a long breath and said.
"Not tired." Li Man put the wine away, and then took a basin of blood water out of the water and poured it.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Li Yan and Li Hua coming back.
Li Yan also had an old man with a goatee on his back, and the old man waved his hands on his back, shouting and screaming, "How can this be reasonable, it's too presumptuous, are you robbers?" How can you do this to Dr. Ben? I warn you, even if I were snatched up, I would not treat the sick. ”
Li Yan ignored it, and quickly entered the courtyard, while Li Hua followed behind, carrying the medicine bag in one hand and holding it weakly in the other, as if he was afraid that the old man would move indiscriminately and fall down.
She hurriedly poured the blood into the hut, and then rushed back.
Li Yan and the others had already brought the old man to the East House, "Doctor, you can help me take a look, my eldest brother is seriously injured." ”
"Hmph." The old man glanced coldly at Li Mo on the kang, and then he was about to go out with the medicine bag on his back, "I said, you robbed me hard, I won't look at such an injury." ”
"Doctor." Li Hua hurriedly stopped him and apologized, "We were reckless in our actions just now, and if we offend you, please don't be surprised, it's really my eldest brother who is too seriously injured, and we are afraid of delaying time, so we have to kill you."
"Your eldest brother is seriously injured? I can't die for a while, besides, there is always one who comes first and comes, right? Chen Cun's fourth family, I went to invite me early in the morning, saying that the old sow in the family had a difficult birth - I am going to save the emergency now, who knows that I will be intercepted by you halfway, don't you want me to lose my trust? The old man stroked his beard and said indignantly.
"Doctor, although my eldest brother's injury is not fatal, if it is delayed, who dares to guarantee it, can you take a look?" Li Hua was anxious, but he didn't dare to offend this old man with a twisted temper.
Li Yan wiped his sweat on the side and said, "As long as you give my eldest brother a good look, I will send you back to Chen Village immediately and promise not to delay things." ”
"Hmph, what does Dr. Ben want you to deliver?" The old man looked around the room contemptuously, glanced at Li Yan and Li Hua again, and snorted, "It's not difficult for me to save your eldest brother, but in the case of your family, can you afford the consultation fee?" Besides, Dr. Ben didn't want to come, it was you-" He pointed at Li Yan and said viciously, "You forced me over, I tell you, I'm going to sue you, not only do you have to pay me for the consultation fee, but you also have to go through a lawsuit-"
Li Man looked at the old man coldly, and suddenly sneered, "As a doctor, if you don't treat diseases and save people, I think you are the one who should be sued." “
"Where's the girl?" The old man looked at Li Man and said disdainfully, "So rude? As the only doctor in Shennugou, he has long been accustomed to the reverence and awe of everyone, even if Li Yan robbed him, his attitude did not dare to be too arrogant.
"Rude? It's better than being ignorant of you. Li Man also looked at him contemptuously, and said with a smile, "If you don't look at my eldest brother's injury, just say it, why don't you make it up and show some old sow dystocia?" ”
"You?" The old man's beard trembled, "You say I don't see it well?" ”
"Of course." Li Man said bluntly, "If you can see it well, you still want to run away after you have already come?" I think you obviously don't understand, so you want to escape, right? Alright, let's go. Wait for tomorrow, I will tell people, if there is a disease or disaster, don't look for you as soon as possible, you will shirk it anyway, but it is thanks to the healing of people. Hey, second brother, why did you hire someone who can only treat pigs? ”
"Who's going to treat pigs anymore?" The old man was angry and wanted to find Li Man's theory.
Li Man waved his hand, "You don't want to send it away." ”
"You, you" the old man pointed at her, his face bruised.
"Let's go." Li Yan also shouted at him at this time, and the old man was angry, "You, do you think that this doctor is what you want to send as soon as you want?" ”
"Consultation fee?" Li Man sneered, "You have also seen it in our family, you are destitute, or you can take it away if you like something?" ”
“”
"Would you like to leave you for dinner?" Seeing that he was speechless with anger, Li Man pouted and said, "Hey, okay, looking at your age, it's not easy to cheat and drink like this, I'll cook more tonight and leave you to eat together." ”
The old man swallowed hard, glared at Li Man viciously, and said, "Okay, good girl, I'll let you see today, is this doctor cheating, isn't it good?" ”
As he spoke, he took down the medicine bag angrily and put it on the big cabinet, Li Hua just wanted to step forward to help, but was signaled by Li Man with a look, and stopped aside, only to look at her silent laughter.
In fact, the old man also saw Li Man's agitation, but he was arrogant and couldn't stand it, even if he was angry, he had to heal Li Mo's injury to this girl.
