Chapter Twenty-Nine: Collapse
"Eryuan, how reckless, is something wrong?" As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, the two of them came out of the kitchen.
"Something happened to the eldest lady. Hurry up, go to the entrance of the village! Eryuan was out of breath and said while holding on to the door frame.
When Gu Yu heard this, her brows furrowed, and she strode out without saying a word.
Xia Ting was naturally not at ease, and he didn't care about taking care of the guests or anything, so he hurriedly ran out.
What happened to the eldest lady? Isn't it to go to town to work as a weaver?
"Ah Ting, you just go. I'll be here for you to come back! Chunhua knew that they were in a hurry, so she didn't bother. If something happens, she should come back and ask someone for help, so she can help as much as she can.
Xia Ting followed Gu Yu closely, he was walking too fast, and she didn't keep up at a trot. When she arrived, she found that there were many people around the entrance of the village, and some of them were even weeping again.
"What the hell is going on?" Xia Ting was a little distracted, and the feeling of trembling in her heart lingered, she pushed aside the crowd, and immediately saw the eldest lady lying dying on the ox cart, with blood stains on her body. Gu Lin's two brothers had already arrived, Gu Lin was talking to the village chief on the side, his face was serious, and his face, which had been expressionless, was even tighter now, exuding cold air all over his body. Gu Yu was taking care of the eldest lady on the side, and the always gentle person was also pursing her lips at the moment.
Finally pushed aside the crowd and walked in front of Gu Yu, closer to the eldest mother, there was a strong smell of blood, and the eldest lady was in a coma.
"Second brother, how did it become like this?" It was the first time Xia Ting had seen a bloody scene, and although she had been trying to calm herself, the slightly trembling tone betrayed her.
Gu Yu grabbed her hand that had nowhere to put it, grabbed the palm of the hand, and soothed her in a deeper voice than before: "It's okay, the eldest brother is over there to understand the situation, now let the doctor come and see it, and then talk about it when I go home." β
Xia Ting nodded, she naturally knew the priorities. When the manpower was enough, several big men walked forward steadily, and Xia Ting walked behind to clean up his hands. After a while, Gu Lin also came over to help, basically some of the eldest lady's clothes.
"Big brother, what's wrong? How could the eldest lady become a ...... Such? Xia Ting's voice couldn't help but choke a little, the eldest mother was the first person she came to this world to release kindness to her, and she was not what she wanted to see now.
"Mother...... When I was working as a weaver, I was entangled in the machine and was not rescued in time, and now I am seriously injured. The above felt that they couldn't hold it down, so they brought their mother back. He also gave 10 cents to compensate. Gu Lin pulled out a mocking smile.
"But the 10 yuan is not there yet, and the village chief said that it is dragging on it."
Outrageous!
Isn't this a naked class limit! If it's not too badly injured, how long are they going to press!
"That's it!"
Gu Lin was silent, and for a while he only heard the sound of the two of them crushing stones under their feet when they walked.
Since ancient times, it has been said that the people do not fight with the officials.
The more you fight, the more you hurt. It's better to be quiet. However, now that he is the closest person to himself, how can he swallow this breath?
But they really don't have that right now. After all, it was from the village chief's channel, and it should be a matter of suppression. Even if you go to sue the official, I'm afraid it will be in vain.
"It's okay, big brother. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. One day, we will be able to take revenge. Now the most important thing is to cheer up and take care of the eldest mother. If the eldest lady wakes up and sees us like this, I'm afraid she won't be happy. β
It was the first time she had seen a man look so decadent, and she couldn't help but comfort her. Although she was also terrified in her heart.
What can be done to cure the eldest mother? Judging by her injuries, according to ancient medical techniques, I am afraid that she will not be able to heal well. It's best to be able to leave no sequelae.
Although she has been ill for a long time, she has only half a bucket of water, and ordinary minor illnesses and pains are fine, she really can't do this.
She lowered her head to hide her thoughts, and when she saw the bracelet on her hand, she suddenly became enlightened! She also has a system, maybe it can help the eldest mother.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people on the road at this time, and the eldest brother was also in deep thought, Xia Ting hurriedly called the system: "System system!" Can I still take on assignments now? Is there a way to save my mother? β
"Ding! Access permissions! The host energy is too low, and the energy is too low to open the mall. β
It turns out that she still has a mall? Can I buy something? So what do you need to buy? Xia Ting was suspicious, but now was not the time to dwell on this, "Then can I take the task?" Can I take on quests and get the rewards I want? β
The eldest mother's external injuries are relatively serious, and in ancient times, the most feared thing was that the wound would become inflamed and cause a series of diseases, and tetanus would be troublesome.
"Ding! Because the first two tasks of the host have not been completed, the trust value is relatively low, and new tasks cannot be obtained. Please work hard to complete the task, there will be rich rewards waiting for you~"
"Now isn't the time for you to sell cuteness, is it really not okay? I'll do my job well in the future. β
After that, no matter how Xia Ting called, the system didn't make a sound. She used to live a life and forgot that she had a system. In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't trust this system very much, and she doesn't believe in the benefits of no reason.
This system is so wicked. She was afraid that if she followed the system, the trajectory of her life would change, and she just wanted to live the life of an ordinary person.
Thus, it can be said that the system and its tasks are ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
Now in this situation, she regrets it. But it's too late.
The eldest lady's hands and lower body have varying degrees of damage, especially the lower body, which is particularly seriously injured. Because Uncle Genzi is a man, men and women have precautions, and the matter of cleaning up the body is handed over to her and Chunhua.
Xia Ting carefully uncovered her clothes, and when she saw that the wounds and clothes had been scabbed together, and could only be softened with scissors or warm water, her heart trembled. Chunhua originally thought that she would come to clean up for the eldest mother, but Xia Ting refused. She wanted to do it herself.
At this time, it seemed that she was the one who was hurt.
Xia Ting's movements are very light and soft, because the eldest lady is really weak, and it seems to be a fragile ceramic that shatters when touched.
The eldest lady went out to work for the sake of their life, because they ......
One basin of blood, two basins, three basins......
She never knew that people could shed so much blood.
When Gu Yu saw Xia Ting come out, his face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were fluttering, as if he had no soul. With a pain in his heart, he stepped forward and gently hugged her in his arms, hoping that he could give her warmth.
He knew that today's events were probably scaring her. He put her through these horrible things.
"It's okay, my mother will be fine, and we will be fine. Don't be afraid, we ......" Gu Yu gently patted her back again and again.
This kind of behavior was actually very intimate in ancient times, but at this moment, everyone present did not show uncomfortable eyes. Chunhua's worried eyes were projected on Xia Ting, and she was more worried about Xia Ting now.
In the face of life and death, in front of the powerful, she knew how small she was. Although she has lived here for so long, her mentality has not changed, and she still thinks that she can live as long as she works diligently, just like in modern times.
As everyone knows, the above attitude can kill them.
Xia Ting's thoughts were confused, she didn't know when the doctor left, and she didn't know when the spring flowers and Eryuan would leave, but she felt that the color in front of her had darkened.
"Little pavilion, my mother is fine. Shall you eat first? β
Well, so gentle, it's the voice of the second brother. But she's so tired.
"Ah Ting, shall we go in and have some food?"
Well, it seems to be a little warm on her body, did the eldest brother add clothes to her? She really wanted to tell her eldest brother not to worry, her mouth was open, as if there was no sound?
"It's useless for you to stay here to die or live, it's not you! Are you just defeated? It turns out that you are such a wretch, and you used to look down on you. Scold! β
Heh, what! Who else is this cheap mouth, but that cheap man?
You know what she does, you don't know anything, why say such a thing! How did she live before, how did she watch her relatives leave her one by one, what does he know! What are the qualifications!
Xia Ting's tears couldn't stop flowing down at this moment, and he slipped down as if he was dying, in addition to the suppressed choked voice, there was also the hoarse shout.
When Su Bong saw the woman glaring at him hatefully, he was relieved. He would rather she hate him than the soulless ghost he had just looked.
"I'm going to live or die, I'm just calming down. You are a man with a small belly, you are a nest, you don't understand anything, you are not qualified to talk about me!! Xia Ting roared and shouted, wanting to release the words he had been wanting to shout in his heart all at once.
Sure enough, after saying that, the whole person was a lot more relaxed. The whole scene was so quiet that only her heartbeat seemed to be heard.
She could feel the attention of people from different directions, and she knew they were worried.
Right. She can't be willful anymore, her previous performance was too immature. It's because she's too naΓ―ve and thinks everything too ideal, too beautiful.
Although she may not be what she wants to see in the future, if she can protect the people she wants to protect and protect her own rights and interests, what if she can protect her?
Xia Ting silently took the handkerchief handed over by Su Feng, quietly wiped his tears, and tidied up his appearance. Seeing that Su Feng was still staring at her, the feeling of embarrassment with a long arc surged up again, and an emotion called annoyance and anger came up, and she glared at Su Feng fiercely:
"Look at what! I've never seen a beautiful woman! I don't eat a good meal, watch what I do. It's okay to take care of yourself and not let people worry. β
As she spoke, she walked into the kitchen and ate as if nothing had happened, only the thick nasal voice witnessed how out of shape she had before.
In fact, Xia Ting felt very guilty, when her family needed her, she only cared about living in her own small world and suffering herself. Later, after taking care of their mother, they have to prepare to cook, and finally they have to take care of their emotions. She's so guilty.
Xia Ting poked the rice, lowered his head and apologized: "Big brother and second brother, Ah Feng, I'm sorry!" She took a deep breath and looked at the three men who were looking at her, "I won't be willful in the future." Today's events won't happen again. β
When the eldest brother heard this, his eyes became angry for some reason, and his tone couldn't help but worsen: "Today's matter has nothing to do with you, why do you want to take all the fault on yourself?" If there is anything we will do, you can just be yourself. Say no more. Gu Lin also blamed himself. His mother didn't take care of him, and even his little wife was sulking like this.
"Alright, alright. The matter passed, and the mother's situation stabilized. The days will get better in the future. Gu Yu hurriedly played a round, and the atmosphere eased. It's just that everyone seems to have something on their minds.
