Chapter Twenty-Nine: Up the Mountain
Seeing this, Ye Xiaoying hurriedly rushed up and opened the door, outside the door, it was not Li Tiezhu, or who was it?
I saw him holding a bamboo cane in one hand and about to knock on the door with the other, and he was smiling at her embarrassed at the moment, "Lady, I'm back." ”
"You...... What's wrong with you? Did you hurt your leg? Ye Xiaoying was shocked and stunned for a moment before she hurriedly stepped forward to help him go inside.
"I'm fine, it's just that I was accidentally scratched by the bamboo when I was chopping the bamboo, it's not a big deal, don't worry, it's okay in two days, hehe......" Li Tiezhu looked ashamed and comforted Ye Xiaoying.
It's because he was too reckless today, he didn't pay attention when he walked the bamboo, and he scratched the root of a bamboo that had been chopped down.
However, today's injury is really not light, Li Tiezhu feels very painful when he walks, so he moved home so late, but now that Ye Xiaoying is looking at him, he has to pretend that he doesn't care, because he doesn't want Ye Xiaoying to worry too much about him.
But Ye Xiaoying looked at the bloody injury on his leg that had not been treated, how could she know that he was not in pain! I wanted to scold him a few words, but after seeing the sweat on his head through the moonlight, my heart completely softened.
"Let's go back to the house first, and I'll take a look at your injuries first."
She helped him slowly into the room and lay down, looking at the big hole on his leg, after carefully scrubbing it, she still couldn't help complaining, "If you don't listen to me, you're hurt today, right?" ”
"Ahem, I was wrong, but I don't hurt, don't worry, I ...... Hiss! ”
Li Tiezhu was stunned and watched Ye Xiaoying angrily wrap his wound with a white cloth a little harder, and immediately cried out in pain, and what he said just now came to an abrupt end.
Ye Xiaoying saw that he was in a terrible pain, so she hurriedly let go of her hand and relaxed her strength, and Li Tiezhu's expression was much soothed.
"Let you do it, so that you won't listen to me in the future, hum!" Ye Xiaoying was distressed and proud.
Of course she knew that he just didn't let herself worry, but she was a little angry when she saw his indifferent appearance just now, and it hurt to be marked with such a big cut.
"Lady, I was really wrong, I really don't dare next time!" Li Tiezhu said with tears in his eyes, and this apology was very sincere.
Ye Xiaoying nodded with satisfaction, then stopped talking and took care of him wholeheartedly.
Li Tiezhu's injury is not light, but it can be said that it is not serious, if the wound is allowed to recover naturally, it will take about ten days to heal.
And this is the most optimistic estimate, if the wound becomes inflamed later, then it will be even more troublesome!
Ye Xiaoying sighed, it would be nice if she was in modern times, she was from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, so she could grab some medicine or something for him.
Wait, grab the medicine? In ancient times, there were herbs for healing, right?
She suddenly became excited, and carefully recalled the last time Li Tiezhu took her up the mountain to cut bamboo, she seemed to have seen a few herbs on the side of the road to heal injuries.
Looking at Li Tiezhu, who was tired and about to fall asleep, Ye Xiaoying secretly made a decision in her heart and decided to go up the mountain tomorrow to have a look.
However, there are many beasts and birds on the mountain, which are very dangerous for her, Ye Xiaoying touched her chin, if she goes up the mountain alone, she must be fully prepared.
After tossing all night, when Li Tiezhu fell asleep, it was dawn.
Ye Xiaoying sat in the courtyard and rested for a while, and then prepared to go up the mountain to collect medicine.
She first wore a suit of clothes that Li Tiezhu often wears on weekdays, carried a bamboo basket, then took a machete and a small shovel, thought about it, and took Xiao Hei, who was already excited about her tail wagging.
However, before leaving, she was worried that Li Tiezhu would wake up hungry after she left, so she paused, went back to the house and put a piece of cake and a glass of water next to Li Tiezhu's bed, and then she was relieved to leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her front foot went out of the door, Li Tiezhu's voice sounded behind her.
"Mother...... Wife? What are you going to do? ”
Ye Xiaoying's body stiffened, she turned around slowly, looked at Li Tiezhu, who was staring wide-eyed and wanted to get up and chase after her, and hurriedly went back and pressed him down again.
"What do you do? I'm just going to go out and I'll be back soon, just lie down. ”
Tossed for a night last night, maybe he didn't sleep soundly just now, so he woke up at this moment, Ye Xiaoying remembered some of the noises she had just made after entering the house, and was a little annoyed.
"Nonsense, lady, I see that you want to go up the mountain, you are not allowed to go, you go, what should I do?"
Li Tiezhu is honest and honest, but he is not very stupid, he knows what she wants to do when he sees Ye Xiaoying's dress, and he doesn't agree with her going.
Ye Xiaoying saw that she couldn't hide it from him, and she could only tell the truth, so she reluctantly sat down and comforted him: "I just went up the mountain to pick some herbs for you, your injury is too serious, if it is inflamed, it will be very troublesome, I remember that there were herbs on the side of the road to heal your injuries last time I went up the mountain, so I want to pick some for you." ”
Li Tiezhu calmed down a little when he heard this, but he still shook his head, "Lady, the mountain is dangerous, last time it was nothing because I protected you, this time you went up the mountain alone, how can you let me rest assured!" ”
But Ye Xiaoying had made up her mind, so she shook her head and said: "But if I don't collect medicine for you, your injuries won't be healed, don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go, there won't be any danger." ”
After speaking, she got up, ignored Li Tiezhu's shouts behind her, and walked out of the house ruthlessly. Li Tiezhu was worried about her, she knew it, but she really had to go this time!
Li Tiezhu looked at Ye Xiaoying's resolute back, and was more moved than anxious, the lady's trip was for him! But he really doesn't want his wife to be like this, the mountain is full of dangers, if she encounters danger, it can be said that she will die for a lifetime!
But he happened to hurt his leg, even if he could get off the ground, he couldn't walk fast, he barely walked to the door with his body propped up, and he could only see Ye Xiaoying's figure leading Xiao Hei out of the road for a while.
"Lady, you must come back! I can't live without you! ”
"I'll definitely be back!"
Ye Xiaoying replied, and then reacted with some amusement, she just said a classic line of the gray wolf!
But she didn't look back, but her steps became faster and faster.
The road up the mountain is not easy to walk, but fortunately, Li Tiezhu took her through a few times, and Ye Xiaoying was also familiar with it, so she came to the bamboo forest on the mountainside where Li Tiezhu often took her all the way.
"Phew, it's finally here." Ye Xiaoying breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the bamboo forest.
