Chapter 27: Reunion
Although Zeng Rong knew what kinds of medicinal materials could treat snake venom, there were many poisonous snakes in the mountains in the south, and if she didn't arrive in time, it was difficult to say that Xu Jing could successfully escape this catastrophe.
Who knows that the more anxious the more something happens, no, as soon as the two walked to the entrance of the village, they met Zeng Youqing who was carrying a hoe back to the village, Zeng Youqing saw them first looked up at the sky, the sun in the south at this time of the season was a little sunny, and even he put down the work in the field and went home to rest, therefore, Zeng Youqing asked them with concern what they were going out to do at this time.
Knowing that the two of them were going to dig herbs in the mountains, Zeng Youqing shook his head, and asked if Tian Shuilan and the newborn milk doll were healthy, and also asked her when she was going to serve them at home, and then asked Ouyang Si.
"Third uncle, how can I have news of Mr. Ouyang? He really just sympathized with my plight and helped me, I don't dare to expect anything else, don't think too much about your old man, if you cause any trouble to Mr. Ouyang, people have to say that I don't know what to do, and I will take revenge. Zeng Rong corrected.
She was afraid that she would really hurt Ouyang Si, and at the same time, she was afraid that she would ruin her reputation.
But Zeng Youqing obviously didn't think so, he thought that Zeng Rong was shy, or to avoid suspicion.
If it weren't for Ouyang Si, how could the patriarch take such a big risk and agree to let her move to the academy, because of this matter, the patriarch is still bearing the burden of the clan elders, saying that he took the lead in destroying the atmosphere in the village.
Zeng Rong saw that he couldn't make sense, and he didn't want to explain anything, so he left in a hurry with Zeng Hua on the grounds that he needed to go early and return early.
After going up the mountain, Zeng Rong took Zeng Hua to the mountain forest behind the Qingshan Temple, she remembered very clearly, in the previous life, Xu Jing was naughty, and sneaked out of the back door of the squatter by himself when his grandmother took a lunch break, but he ran into a snake after a while in the mountain forest, and immediately screamed in fright, and happened to meet her who was collecting medicine nearby, but fortunately she had a few lobelia in her basket, and she smashed it in time to put it on him, and then helped him run back to call someone to save him.
When Zeng Rongzheng recalled the situation at that time, Zeng Hua pushed her, "Eldest sister, what are you thinking?" ”
"Didn't think about anything." After speaking, Zeng Rong felt that this was a little insincere, and said: "I'm thinking about my father and mother, no wonder people say that if you have a stepmother, you can see who else is in your father's eyes now, that woman has to squeeze her father and eldest brother dry." ”
Zeng Hua believed this, and also sighed, "Then what should I do?" We just made money, and I'm afraid that this money won't reach the eldest brother. ”
"Yes, forget it, let's not talk about these things first, let's dig up herbs, we have to make up enough money for the eldest brother to marry first, I hope the eldest brother can marry a more powerful sister-in-law." After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he bent down to find the herbs.
There are many poisonous snakes in the south, so there are more herbs used to treat snake venom, which Ouyang Si has long expected, so he taught Zeng Rong Zeng Hua several herbs that can treat snake venom, including seven leaves and one flower, lobelia, and coiled dragon grass.
Because he was afraid of being too close to Xu Jing, he was too deliberate, and he was also afraid of disturbing the snake, so Zeng Rong took Zeng Hua to look for herbs in a place about 20 zhang away where the two met, but it happened that there was a stream nearby, and the two went up along the stream.
When she reacted, she found that Zeng Hua was running down the stream quickly, obviously chasing something, Zeng Rong was about to call her, suddenly saw her throw the basket into the water, and then the person also jumped down, and after a while, I saw her holding a fish in both hands and shouting at Zeng Rong, "Sister, sister, come and see, I caught a fish." ”
Zeng Rong shook his head with a smile, and was about to go down, when he suddenly saw Zeng Hua quickly throwing the fish on the ground and running towards the mountains and forests on the side, Zeng Rong quickly realized something, and hurriedly ran over with his basket.
Sure enough, from a distance, she saw a little boy wearing azure straight trim who was slumping to the ground with a frightened face, Zeng Hua squatted beside him and pulled up his trouser legs, when Zeng Rong rushed over, Zeng Hua had already ripped off the little boy's garter belt, "Sister, is there any herb to cure snake venom?" ”
"Yes, yes." Zeng Rong, who had mixed feelings, couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly turned out the lobelia from his basket, and ran to the stream to wash it, and then found a clean stone to mash the herbs by the way.
When Zeng Rong came over with the mashed herbs, Zeng Hua had already tied the wound more than an inch above the wound with a garter belt, and was squeezing the blood.
"Eldest sister, can you scoop up a little water to clean the wound first?" Zeng Hua was obviously more experienced in dealing with this wound than Zeng Rong.
Obviously, she also has memories of her previous life.
It may be that Zeng Rong's answer was a little nasal, which made Zeng Hua and Xu Jing both raise their heads, and Zeng Hua first discovered Zeng Rong's abnormality, "Eldest sister, are you crying?" ”
"Yes, it was me who bit me, not your sister, why are you crying?" Xu Jing was also quite puzzled.
Because Xu Jing spoke the official dialect of the capital, Zeng Hua naturally didn't understand, but fortunately, her mind was all about saving people, but she didn't ask anything, and lowered her head to busy herself.
Zeng Rong was too emotional, afraid that she would not be able to control her tears as soon as she opened her mouth, so she didn't answer him, turned around and ran to the stream, she couldn't find a suitable tool, she could only use her own hand to hold a handful of water.
After rinsing the wound briefly, Zeng Hua put the pounded herbs on it, and then ordered Xu Jing to chew two lobelia, swallow the juice into it, and spit out the slag.
"I'm not going to die, am I?" Xu Jing looked at Zeng Rong's teary eyes and asked again.
Because the words were relatively short, not much different from the local dialect, the two sisters understood this time, and replied at the same time: "No." ”
"Then what are you crying about?" Xu Jing was puzzled, and what was even more strange was that he felt that the girl's gaze at him was too warm, and it was a little unbearable.
"I, I, I'm scared." In a hurry, Zeng Rong found the most lame reason.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jing glanced at her from top to bottom, and asked with a little contempt: "Your sister is not afraid of being so much younger than you, what are you afraid of?" ”
"I've encountered this kind of thing before, I, my eldest sister hasn't encountered it, what's so strange about this?" Zeng Hua took the words, she didn't understand the whole sentence, but she understood the last few words.
"Ah, you've been bitten by a poisonous snake too, so I'm not going to die?" Xu Jing's tone is obviously much more relaxed, these days when he returns to his hometown, he can roughly listen to what he says about his hometown, but it is difficult to talk about it.
"Don't be careless, you still need treatment in the future, it's best to find an experienced doctor to take a look." Zeng Rong suggested.
"Okay, can you two help me to call someone, I live in the squatter above, there is a small door to enter, you look for someone from the Xu family in the capital." Although these words were said to two people, Xu Jing was looking at Zeng Rong.
Although Zeng Rong had the intention to stay, she also knew that she would definitely not be able to control her emotions if she stayed, and it would be bad if she was exposed, so she explained to Zeng Hua and put down the basket and ran.
