Chapter 168: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters
Almost half of the house had collapsed, and the yellow mud mixed with gravel thatch seemed to have been dilapidated for several years, and it would have been impossible to live without another one next door. A dead tree trunk was pestled in front of the house, and everything looked lifeless.
"This is it!" Shooting the moon was pleasantly surprised, but seeing this, their hearts sank.
As if hearing a voice, a figure flashed out of the earthen house, and when she saw Xia Jinse and them, she was stunned, and then rushed up in ecstasy and knelt in front of Xia Jinse: "Miss, Miss...... The slave has been waiting for you for a long time! Miss is finally here......"
It's chasing the clouds!
Her attitude shocked Xia Jinse, and hurriedly helped her up: "Chasing clouds, hurry up, what's going on?" ”
Just about to speak, Chaiyun suddenly looked around, Xia Jinse turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a figure sneakily snooping behind a tree in the distance, Chaiyun got up and pulled Xia Jinse towards the earthen house: "Miss, you can come and see." ”
The room was dim, and there was almost nothing, but as soon as Xia Jinse entered, he found a person lying on the ground.
"Aunt Yao!" She was simply stunned.
After not seeing her for more than ten days, Aunt Yao was lying on the ground dying. The new dress he had worn before leaving the house was gone, except for a patched rag coat. What's even more terrifying is that she was covered in injuries, her face was bruised, and her legs were wrapped in strips of cloth, oozing blood.
Xia Jinse was squatting beside Aunt Yao like a lightning strike, but she didn't dare to touch her with her outstretched hand, for fear of making her hurt.
A huge amount of anger welled up in her heart, and she gritted her teeth and asked word by word: "Chasing clouds, what the hell is going on?" Who hurt Aunt Yao!? ”
She has never been so angry that her dearest person was hurt like this!
Chaiyun choked and said, "Miss, when the slave came, Aunt Yao was lying in the house and was dying. The slave and maid don't know who harmed Aunt Yao, if it weren't for the slave and maid coming in time, I'm afraid that ......"
Thinking of the situation at that time, Chaiyun was happy and afraid, and told Xia Jinse what had happened.
She didn't expect Aunt Yao to be like this, she just thought she was going home. But after asking a lot of villagers, those people were all flickering, either unwilling to speak, or talking nonsense, and some people wanted to get rid of her. She got angry and directly grabbed a person to threaten her, and this person told the specific location of Aunt Yao's house.
As a result, Aunt Yao had her legs broken and was dying.
Later, Aunt Yao woke up and told the slave that her mother had died a long time ago, and she had wanted to leave with the ashes, but the villagers would not allow her to go. There are many of them, and it is useless for Aunt Yao to be reasonable, and she can't resist it, so they hurt her like this......"
"What's wrong with this village, that no one is allowed to leave?" Xia Jinse heard that there was a problem.
Aunt Yao, who had been unconscious, seemed to hear something, groaned, and reluctantly opened her eyes: "Miss...... Is it Miss? ”
Suddenly, she didn't know where she got the strength, so she grabbed Xia Jinse's skirt: "Miss, you go quickly, no, don't stay here...... It's dangerous......"
Xia Jinse hurriedly squatted down and gently held Aunt Yao's hand
"Aunt Yao, don't talk yet, I'll treat you!" As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you! ”
She doesn't care what danger she is, no matter who hurts Aunt Yao, she has to make him pay!
Soon, Xia Jinse checked Aunt Yao.
Chasing Yun went to get hot water, Shooting Moon stayed by the side to help, and Lan Muxuan and the four guards stayed outside the house to prevent anyone from approaching. Aunt Yao was injured like this, she must have a problem with these villagers, and Xia Jinse must cure her first and get out of danger before she can solve the rest of the matter.
Aunt Yao had many external injuries on her body, all of which were beaten, but they were not difficult to treat, but after a few days, the wounds had begun to suppurate. These don't matter, as long as you take anti-inflammatory drugs and apply medicine to the wound, the serious thing is that her leg is broken and someone broke it!
"Aunt Yao, bear with me, I'll help you pick up your bones!" Xia Jinse's heart trembled, and she couldn't hold back her tears at all.
She couldn't imagine what it was that made these people so ruthless to be so cruel to a gentle and kind woman like Aunt Yao! There are also numerous scratches on the legs, which look like they were smashed on the legs with hard objects, such as wooden sticks, and smashed by repeated blows.
Xia Jinse could almost imagine Aunt Yao's pain and despair at that time!
Fortunately, there are anesthetic needles in the medical cabin, which can avoid the pain of bone grafting, but Aunt Yao's leg injury is more difficult than the recovery surgery that Xia Junping did before. Because Xia Junping only broke a bone, the shape of her legs did not change much, and Aunt Yao, her two legs were directly deformed!
If it weren't for the fast chasing clouds, Aunt Yao might have died of excessive blood loss.
The situation was urgent, Xia Jinse didn't even care about hiding, and directly took out medical appliances from the medicine box.
At the beginning, the medicines, scalpels and other items she was holding were all small objects, and Chaiyun hadn't reacted yet. In the back, Xia Jinse even felt out of the table, which was put into the consciousness space when she practiced mental power before.
Chasing Yun was dumbfounded, he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth wide, Xia Jinse had no distractions, and when he met someone who couldn't be busy, he asked Chasing Yun to help. The two worked together to lift Aunt Yao to the table, changed Aunt Yao's clothes, wiped and disinfected, and then slowly dealt with the operation of the leg injury.
For two hours, it was dark, chasing the clouds and shooting the moon with candles and mirrors to illuminate, Xia Jinse barely completed the operation.
"I know you have questions, but don't ask anything, if I can say, I'll tell you later."
"Miss, we understand."
This is really amazing, it has exceeded the imagination of chasing clouds and shooting the moon.
No wonder the young lady is so skilled in medicine and can cure any disease, they seem to have the answer in their hearts. Perhaps, Miss is the fairy from heaven who came down to earth to relieve the suffering of everyone in the world, right?
The two of them are loyal to Xia Jinse, and if Xia Jinse doesn't say it, they naturally won't ask, they just need to understand that their young lady is very powerful.
Under the medicine, Aunt Yao drank a bowl of rice soup and fell asleep again.
Xia Jinse was sad and heartbroken, even if Aunt Yao's leg injury was healed, she would not be able to walk normally in the future.
When Xia Jinse had surgery, the tree next to the earthen house withered
Next to the tree, Lan Muxuan and the four guards were not idle. I built a simple earthen stove, and the pot and a few bowls still cost money, and I found the nearest villager to buy them.
Fortunately, there was a small river at the west entrance of the village, and in terms of taking water and pouring it, no one dared to eat the villagers' things, and they also brought dry food. Xia Jinse and the others knew in their hearts, who knew if those villagers would poison them? If you don't know anything, it's better to be careful.
There is not much space in the earth house, so everyone leaves the space for Aunt Yao to rest, and the rest of the people are all outside the house.
It would be early autumn, even if it was dark, it would not be cold, and everyone would sit around a fire, talking and discussing in a whisper.
"The slave maid saw that Aunt Yao was too seriously injured, and she wanted to take her away, but as soon as we went out, the village brought someone and didn't allow us to leave." Chasing Yun talked about what happened after she arrived at Huangshan Village, the villagers were indifferent and ruthless, and wanted to bully her when they saw her as a lone woman. If she hadn't injured two, I'm afraid those people would really have done it to her.
"But there are too many of them, and the slave maid has to prevent them from hurting Aunt Yao, so there is no way, the slave and maid can only retreat to the house."
Chasing Yun said that that night, she secretly rushed to the next village, found a villager, and used one of her beads to let the villager send a letter to Zuo Xiangfu when he went to the capital to sell vegetables the next day. She was worried that the peasant would not do anything after taking the pearl flowers, so she specifically said that she could get a tael of silver for sending the letter, and the villager happily assured her.
Fortunately, if it weren't for the alertness of chasing clouds and the quick movements, I was afraid that even if they came, Aunt Yao would not be there.
The firelight stained Xia Jinse's face, which was extremely solemn.
She sat on a rock, stared at the fire and said, "Aunt Yao is out of danger now, but I won't let go of the person who hurt her." There must be something wrong with this group of villagers, no matter what they did, I don't care, but they must be made to hand over the murderer who hurt Aunt Yao! ”
Shooting Moon immediately said: "Miss, this is not difficult, the slave and maid have observed, those are ordinary villagers, just some brute force, and the slave and maid can deal with ten alone." As long as we arrest that Muramasa first, are we afraid that he won't confess? ”
Everyone was thinking that it made sense, and Chaiyun reminded: "It's better to be careful, miss, when the slave went to the neighboring village yesterday to find someone to deliver the letter, fortunately she came back quickly, and those villagers have been monitoring this house." As long as there is no movement for a while, they will come to investigate, and Aunt Yao was almost killed by them again. ”
Lan Muxuan was surprised and frowned, "Why are the villagers staring at Aunt Yao, who is already injured? Are you afraid of what she will say? ”
Chaiyun nodded and said: "The slave maid didn't have time to ask, Aunt Yao only asked the slave and maid to leave here quickly, the situation was critical, the slave and maid only cared about dealing with those villagers, and I don't know what deep hatred they have with Aunt Yao." ”
It seems that the reason can only be known from Aunt Yao's mouth.
Yesterday, there was only one person chasing clouds, and he was flawless, this time Xia Jinse and they came with so many people, a few people took care of Aunt Yao, and the other people had to deal with a village zheng, could they still let him fly?
Xia Jinse said coldly: "Let's make a quick decision, find out the reason tonight, avenge Aunt Yao, and we can leave tomorrow." Now Aunt Yao hasn't woken up, so I'm looking for it directly
The village is coming to see what tricks he can come up with......"
"Miss!" Shooting the moon suddenly moved his eyes, as if he heard a strange sound of rustling.
Lan Muxuan also heard it, he stood up and looked around, and suddenly said, "There are people around." ”
Everyone stood up and looked around, although it was dark and they couldn't see clearly, but under the moonlight, the figures in the distance swayed, and they gathered in groups of three or five, sneakily approaching their earthen house.
"Three here, five here, and there are too here!" Shooting Moon said as he pointed into the distance.
Even if the villagers were very careful, in the night, only the slightest sound could not escape the ears of the moon.
Suddenly, Lan Muxuan turned around and stared at the back of the earth house: "There are also people behind here." ”
Needless to say, they are surrounded!
"Protect Aunt Yao and don't let people into the house." Under Xia Jinse's words, Lan Muxuan immediately asked the four guards to guard the earthen house, the house was not big, four people were enough.
Lan Muxuan and Mo Yan quickly went to the back of the earthen house to prevent any villagers from coming over to make trouble. Xia Jinse and Chasing Cloud and Shooting Moon stood in front of the earthen house, looking at the villagers who kept gathering, one by one, like wolves in the night.
Huang Shouren, the head of the village, appeared again, swaggering and smoking, surrounded by several villagers, standing twenty steps away from Xia Jinse. He was silent for a moment, and then said loudly: "A few guests came from afar, didn't they bring us some gifts to Huangshan Village?" ”
Xia Jinse said coldly: "Huang Cunzheng, do you want money, or do you want life?" ”
The group of villagers did not panic, but laughed, and said in a weird manner: "Murazheng, this woman asked us if we wanted money or death, of course we wanted it!" ”
As soon as Huang Shouren spoke, everyone quieted down: "Just a few people, hurry up and clean up, and you have to work tomorrow!" Give it to me! ”
