097 Saving Lives and Keeping the Fetus Secret
Luo Shi's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the side of the shengzi-
Sure enough, there was a dizzy girl in the trap, covered with mud and dead leaves, with blood stains on her trouser legs, and an iron clamp had bitten her ankle, and blood was trickling.
"What are you doing digging such a big hole, and you don't know how to make a mark on the side of the trap to remind others, hurry up and save people!"
"Oooh......"
Luo Shi urged Shengzi, took out a towel from his arms, turned out the herbs to stop the bleeding into the back basket, picked up two stones, smashed the herbs into mud, and waited for him to go down and bandage the person on his back to stop the bleeding.
Shengzi's strength was strong, and under Luo Shi's repeated instructions, he tried his best to avoid the girl's injury, and forcefully swung the iron clamp to save his foot and neck.
Luo Shi gave her medicine to stop the bleeding, and under the scorching, the girl woke up with a sullen snort, and saw that she had been rescued from the trap, and couldn't help but thank her:
"There are few hunters entering the mountain this month, I only think that I am dead this time, Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless......"
"It's our fault, we didn't put up a wooden stick to warn, causing you to stumble and fall into the trap, this herb barely stopped the bleeding, I don't know if it hurt my muscles and bones, or carry you to the town to find a doctor to take a look!"
Luo Shi reached out to help the person stand up, and saw that her injured feet could not reach the ground, hissing and gasping for cold air, obviously not lightly injured.
"Let's go to the Rejuvenation Hall, my father is the doctor there, I originally went into the mountains to pick herbs, I know a little about the fur, it should be a flesh injury, probably out of the way"
This is a coincidence, Luo Shi immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go"
Turning her head, she was about to summon Shengzi, but saw that he had re-covered the trap, and this time he had learned to be obedient and placed a circle with a pebble on the side of the trap.
Carrying the injured girl on their backs, the two went down the mountain and rented an ox cart to rush to Kushui Town.

Bitter Water Town, Rejuvenation Hall
The doctor's surname is Zhang, and his daughter Tianniu went into the mountains to collect medicine yesterday and did not return overnight. He was so anxious that he was so anxious that a seriously injured patient was carried into the hall in the middle of the night, and the doctor's parents were hearted, so he couldn't drive people out ruthlessly, so he had to save people first, and then close the shop and go out, ready to go into the mountains to find his daughter.
"Daddy!" Tian Niu called Shengzi to carry it, and she saw her father who was lying on his back, and he was on the board to close the shop, and hurriedly called him.
When Dr. Zhang heard the sound, he immediately looked up, and when he saw that it was his daughter Tianniu, he immediately jumped up with small steps, and said distressedly:
"Where's the injury? Show it to Dad! ”
Luo Shi said on the side: "Don't worry, Doctor Zhang, Tian Niu picked the trap by mistake and injured her foot and neck by catching the beast, I have dealt with her briefly, please take a closer look."
Doctor Zhang looked at Luo Shi to the end, and said earnestly: "The girl is a life-saving benefactor, and the old man is such a girl, I am grateful, grateful......"
Where did Luo Shi dare to accept his great gift, he turned around to avoid it, and said falsely: "The country woman can't afford to be you, hurry up and come into the hall to talk!" ”
"Eh, okay, two of you, please-"
Doctor Zhang pushed the door in, asked Shengzi to put Tian Niu on a couch, squatted down, pinched her foot bones, glanced at the injury left and right, and breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's no big deal, take care of it for a few months, and you will be able to go to the ground in the spring of next year"
When Luo Shi heard this, the big stone in her heart fell, if Tian Niu was lame in the future because of the trap dug by Shengzi, she couldn't help it.
Tian Niu's face was full of worry, and she pulled her father's cuffs and said, "For a few months? Then who will cook for you, I still have to go up the mountain to collect medicine! ”
Doctor Zhang sighed helplessly: "Daddy comes to cook, it's not as delicious as you cook, it's not difficult to cook, the matter of herbal medicine...... I asked the pharmacist to buy it, and there was no other way."
Tian Niu's head shook like a rattle, and retorted:
"Dad, you are kind-hearted, you can save money for medical treatment, and the medicine money is also very cheap, you have to ask the black-hearted drug dealers to buy it, what else does our family have, don't you have to drink the northwest wind?"
Dr. Zhang was silent, obviously Tian Niu was telling the truth.
Luo Shi saw Dr. Zhang's embarrassment, and thought about it, thinking that this was also a way to make money, which was more low-key than selling spicy dishes.
"Doctor Zhang, if you don't dislike it, leave the matter of collecting medicine to me, and I will also cover your meal."
Tian Niu's eyes were shining, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and she asked, "Can the benefactor know herbs?" I heard that you live in Kushui Township, which is not close to the town, how can my father's food bother you-"
"I know some of the ordinary herbs, no matter how bad it is, you will teach me, as for Dr. Zhang's meal, you don't have to worry about it, I will come once every three days."
After Dr. Zhang and Tian Niu glanced at each other, they said with a smile:
"It would be great if that could be done! I will settle it for you according to the market price, and I will not let you suffer a loss."
This time it was decided, and the pit was smashed on the ground.
Luo Shi promised to go up the mountain for Tian Niu to find Poria cocos, Schisandra, honeysuckle, nightshade, wormwood and other medicinal materials, and send them to the Rejuvenation Hall in the town every three days. Because the winter food is not easy to spoil, the radish is also three days to cook a meal for Dr. Zhang, leaving enough for three days, there are meat and vegetarian, when you want to eat, you can use a steamer grate to steam food.
After Dr. Zhang rewrapped Tian Niu's feet, Luo Shi invited him to talk outside the hall, she wanted to ask if the baby on her body was still stable.
Dr. Zhang took a pulse and said: "The lady has been working hard recently, and the fetus is insufficient, but there is no big problem, take a few packets of fetal medicine and drink it, and it will be stable after the first three months."
Because of the shyness in his pocket, Luo Shi was ashamed and said: "I don't know if I can hang it on the account first, and the day after tomorrow I will come back with the medicinal materials——"
"No need, the lady is my benefactor, even if you take this medicine, it's not worth a few dollars, you don't have to be polite!"
Dr. Zhang interrupted her, and packed the five fetal pills, tied them tightly with fine hemp rope, and stuffed them into Luo Shi's arms.
Luo Shi thanked him gratefully, and after hesitating for a while, he still asked him to keep it a secret.
Although Dr. Zhang had doubts in his heart, he also responded happily, reassuring her that he was a rickety old man who was not a woman with a long tongue, and he never chewed the root of his tongue behind his back.
Bidding farewell to Dr. Zhang and Tian Niu, Luo Shi and Shengzi left the Rejuvenation Hall and took an ox cart back to Kushui Township together.

With a way to make money, it is inevitable to go up the mountain frequently.
When he got home, he drank the fetal medicine and poured the medicine residue under the tree in the backyard, and Shengzi also asked what disease Luo Shi had and why he wanted to take the medicine, maybe in his heart, the shadow of Grandma's illness and death was very big, so when he saw the black medicine, he was uneasy.
He asked Luo Shi several times a day, and she had to answer several times—saying that it was a winter tonic for the body, not a disease.
The next day, when they went up the mountain, both of them had good luck, and Luo Shi found schisandra and wormwood on the top of the bush, and other herbs such as wormwood and nightshade, which were also full of baskets.
Shengzi caught a roe deer in the trap, and he came out with the roe deer in his arms, and said to Luo Shi:
"The roe deer skin is good, sell it for money!"
Luo Shi saw that this roe deer was not big, because he jumped into the trap and struggled, so the fur on his body was a little scarred, I don't know how much silver can be sold after peeling off the whole thing? But there is a harvest after all, in addition to the roe deer skin, the roe deer meat can also be sold for a sum of silver, and the silver for the new quilt of cotton clothes is available.
Shengzi happily hugged and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect that the roots on the ground tripped and stumbled, and the center of gravity was lost, and the roe deer in his arms was thrown out!
"My quilt!"
The roe deer that Luo Shi watched desperately escaped, although he was injured, but his speed was still beyond the reach of manpower, and he jumped into the deep forest and shrubs when he saw it-
At this time, Shengzi unhurriedly took out the throwing pocket in his arms, picked up a small pebble from the ground, vigorously slammed his arm, and smashed it in the direction of the roe deer's escape!
Hearing a sharp scream from the roe deer, he fell to the ground with a puff and kicked his leg twice, and then he was powerless to struggle.
Shengzi strode to retrieve the roe deer, and this time he learned to be obedient, and tied the hemp rope to his body, and refused to let the beast run away.
He went back to the side of the roof and kicked the 'roots' that had just tripped over him—
Seeing that the roots of the tree were strange, black and protruding like stones, Luo Xi squatted down and peeled off the skin of the roots with her nails, revealing the snow-white lining, and she smiled and said:
"Trip well, trip Poria out of it"
happily picked up Poria Cocos and put it in the back basket behind her, just now she had been paying attention to Poria Cocos, who expected that she was tripped out by Shengzi's kick.
After returning from the foot of the mountain, they saw the smoke rising from the village, and the two of them rushed back to their homes at the end of the meal.
Shengzi will nitrate fur, Luo Shi handed over the task of dealing with the roe deer to him, first, she can't help, and secondly, after all, it is a matter of killing, she is pregnant with a child, and she does not want to be contaminated, so she hides in the stove shed and prepares a meal for the two of them at noon.
There is still half a bag of japonica rice, and after washing it with a broom, it is steamed in a rice retort with water, and the noodles left a few days ago are taken out and rolled into thin spring cakes.
Shred the cucumber and radish, then chop some pork neck foam, wrap it in spring cakes and steam it. When the rice is cooked, brush the oil in the pot, first boil the green onion and ginger meat in the pot, and then pour in the japonica rice and stir-fry.
Spring cakes with fried rice, and a clear and greasy shepherd's cabbage soup, which is the lunch of radish and shengzi.
Bring the food to the hall, Luo Shi called Shengzi to eat, the nitrate skin is not good in a day or two, and he is not in a hurry for a while.
However, he took out all the roe deer meat, and fanned it all over his legs, and Luo Xi planned to keep some for himself, and sell the rest in the town tomorrow, and exchange money to buy a few horses of three-shuttle cloth and cotton wool to go home to cut cotton clothes.
Although Luo Shi is a bully in the stove room, she can thread the needle, and she is the scum among them. Not to mention sewing cotton clothes, even if she nails a button, it is also a difficult task.
Thinking in his heart, if he asked his daughter-in-law to help, there was no money at home, so he had to thank her with roe deer meat, Luo Shi knew that the villagers valued the friendship of people and helping each other, and the Shengzi family owed a lot, and if there was a chance in the future, it must be repaid.
Before going to bed, the collected medicinal materials were classified, and after they were properly organized, they simply wiped their faces and went to sleep on the kang.
Luo Xi sighed, it would be good to be able to pick soaphorns on the mountain in the spring, the first thing she wanted to do was to disassemble and wash this set of bedding and wash her hair well.
