007 A false alarm
As he spoke, Ruan Xiaoman ran out in a swoop.
The weather finally cleared, and she didn't want to be bored at home, maybe she could go out and find some wild fruits to eat.
She was hungry, and she was too embarrassed to ask for He Bilian's things to eat.
"Sister, let's go out and play." Ruan Xiaoman took Ruan Xiaoxia's hand and said coquettishly.
"I haven't eaten anything yet." Ruan Sanniang looked at Ruan Xiaoxia and Ruan Xiaoman, but she couldn't conjure anything for them to eat.
She had to go find some firewood to come back, and there was a bamboo grove to the east of the village, so she might be able to pick up some dead branches from bamboo shells or something.
"Mother, let's go outside and find something to eat." Ruan Xiaoman said with confidence.
"Come back and have something to eat later." Ruan Sanniang is not good at persuading her, she still has to prepare some firewood.
But before going out, she planted the sweet potato seedlings first, and the vegetable garden had to be tidied up.
Ruan Xiaoxia and Ruan Xiaoman walked near the well and met the little overlord in the village.
The eldest son of the Li Yen family, Ruan Dabao, is the only white and chubby child in the village.
He also has a two-year-old sister who is also said to be a bit of a match for his size.
Ruan Xiaoxia and Ruan Xiaoman didn't want to pay attention to Ruan Dabao, and when they saw him, they took a detour.
It's a pity that Ruan Dabao didn't let them be satisfied, waved his hand, united the two dogs around him, and forced Ruan Xiaoxia and Ruan Xiaoman to the front of the team that came to fetch water step by step.
"What do you want to do?" Ruan Xiao glared at Ruan Dabao with a snort, he looked like a hanger at a young age, and he looked very eye-catching.
"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to take a closer look at what the broom star looked like." Ruan Dabao said with a hippie smile.
Ruan Dabao's words made the others laugh, and he was even more proud.
"You're the broom star." Ruan Xiaoman pointed at Ruan Dabao and said angrily.
Although she is young, she has never heard any nonsense in the village, even if she has not heard it, she can guess that Ruan Dabao's mouth can't spit out ivory.
"Your father is dead, your mother is a widow, and you are not a broom star." Ruan Dabao said triumphantly.
He heard his father and mother talk about their family, so when he saw Ruan Xiaoxia and Ruan Xiaoman, he couldn't wait to show off.
"My dad isn't dead." Ruan Xiaoxia clenched her fists and blushed.
"Your father fell into the water and died, and the whole village knew about it." Ruan Dabao took a step forward, pointed at Ruan Xiaoman, and put on a look of arguing with reason.
"You're talking nonsense, my dad isn't dead, he's not dead, he just hasn't come home yet." Ruan Xiaoman is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he wants to push Ruan Dabao away with all his strength.
Although she knew that her father was unlucky this time, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
It's just that Ruan Dabao is not interested, and he has repeatedly taken this matter as an example, Ruan Xiaoman doesn't want to entangle with him, he just wants to get out of here quickly.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I don't believe you ask them." Ruan Dabao came up and pushed Ruan Xiaoman angrily.
The others hurriedly pretended to look at the scenery in the distance, and they just watched the excitement of the children's house.
Besides, it's a bit too much for them to make a fool of themselves, and it's another thing to say in private.
Ruan Xiaoman was small and had little strength, his stomach was still empty, and he stumbled and fell into the well.
Ruan Dabao was dumbfounded, and immediately ran away, and his two little followers also ran fast when they saw this.
"Xiaoman!" Ruan Xiaoxia shouted in despair.
"Hold on to the rope." Someone reacted first and immediately shouted.
"Oh." Aunt Ruan, who was fetching water, also came back to her senses, responded in a panic, and quickly pulled the rope that fell down.
The others also rushed to help, this is the only well in the village, and it would be bad luck if something happened.
Ruan Sanniang was picking up bamboo shells and dead branches in the bamboo forest, and when she heard Ruan Xiaoxia's mournful shout, her heart was pinched, and she didn't care about the handful of firewood that had just been sorted out, so she immediately ran over.
Besides, Ruan Xiaoman was surprisingly calm at the moment he fell, and subconsciously wanted to grab the rope to draw water.
But it was only at the moment she stepped on the barrel that she grabbed it, and she grasped it steadily.
Even so, the well water still didn't reach her ears, and she choked on several wells.
All she saw, heard, and felt was water, and this moment was the most desperate.
But in despair, she still held the rope tightly, which was the most instinctive reaction of her body.
Ruan Sanniang rushed over, and when she saw Ruan Xiaoxia biting her lip, standing alone next to the well, and then saw others surrounding the well.
No, but Ruan Sanniang still let out the most desperate wail, and squeezed to the edge of the well.
When she saw Ruan Xiaoman coming up half-sitting on a wooden barrel and smiling at her, she couldn't even believe that what she saw was real.
"This kid is really dead." Aunt Ruan exclaimed.
"Xiaoman......" Ruan Sanniang hugged Ruan Xiaoman, crying and laughing.
"Xiao Man...... Mother ......" Ruan Xiaoxia cried out at this time.
Ruan Xiaoman seemed to see Ruan Sanniang, so he felt scared, and fainted in a daze.
"Let's go home and change our clothes, it's still a little cold." Aunt Ruan couldn't help but remind.
Ruan Sanniang woke up like a dream, and hurriedly hugged Ruan Xiaoman home.
Others were whispering by the well, almost forgetting what was going on.
After returning home, Ruan Sanniang immediately helped Ruan Xiaoman change his clothes and dry his hair.
"My sister's hands are so cold." Ruan Xiaoxia said uneasily.
Ruan Sanniang kept helping Ruan Xiaoman rub her hands, hoping that she could warm up as soon as possible.
Each of them had only two sets of clothes, and in addition to the clothes they wore on their bodies, they all covered Ruan Xiaoman's body.
He Bilian also gave Ruan Xiaoman her only bed, but it still didn't seem to work.
If you fall into the water in this weather, it will really kill people.
Ruan Sanniang couldn't wait to slap herself, she couldn't even make a fire, so she could only hug Ruan Xiaoman and beg her not to have a high fever.
At noon, He Bilian came over to take a look again, and saw that Ruan Xiao's face was red, and she secretly screamed that it was not good.
"I don't have any money on me, this is my embroidered handkerchief, you take it, see if you can exchange some money, Xiaoman has to see the doctor as soon as possible in this situation." He Bilian took out a handkerchief from her sleeve.
There are a few orchids embroidered on the handkerchief, which is very elegant.
"I can't ask for such a valuable thing, you put it away, I'll go find some houttuynia cordata, and perilla leaves, if there is ginger." Ruan Sanniang said faintly.
No, there was still firewood, Ruan Sanniang didn't dare to delay, quickly put down Ruan Xiaoman, and then went out.
Ruan Xiaoxia continued to take care of Ruan Xiaoman, hugged Ruan Xiaoman like Ruan Sanniang, and helped her rub her hands.
