Chapter 5 Everybody Loves Beards
In the afternoon, the three of them were silent, and without saying a word, they carried baskets around looking for scattered ears of wheat, and Jinzhi seemed to be holding his breath, even if it was an ear of wheat that fell into the ditch at the edge of the field, he had to turn into the ditch and pick it up.
When evening came, the basket in the arms of Jinqing and Mama Liu was full of the ears of wheat they had picked up, and even Jinzhi rolled up the hem of his shirt and pocketed most of the ears of wheat. This year, the weather is beautiful, the wheat is filled for a few days, every day is sunny, there is no silk wind, the wheat grows well, and the Jinqing family has picked up a lot of wheat.
Jin Qing estimated that he had picked up fifteen or sixteen catties of wheat today, and the joy of the harvest made the faces of the three of them beaming, and also diluted the shadow that was bullied by Li Fucai at noon and shrouded in the hearts of the three people.
When they arrived at home, Mama Liu hurriedly lit a fire and heated the mixed dough cakes and boiled sweet potato porridge that had been made in the morning, and it was the family's dinner.
As soon as Jin Qing picked up the chopsticks, Aunt Bolt led four or five villagers into the courtyard of her house.
Jin Qing was surprised, she looked at the four or five villagers who were familiar with each other, and they lived in the westernmost part of Zhujia Village, Zhujia Village is a big village with hundreds of people, and Jin Qing has not recognized all the people until now.
Aunt Bolt pulled Jin Qing and said to the four or five people: "This is what I told you about the little doctor in our Zhujia Village, and his medical skills are good!" He turned to Jin Qing and said, "Quick, take your guy's business, someone has an accident!" ”
As soon as she heard that someone had an accident, Jin Qing didn't dare to hesitate, and she didn't care about eating, so she hurriedly ran to the corner of the room and put on her medicine box, and followed Aunt Bolt out.
The four or five villagers who came with Aunt Bolt looked at Jin Qing in surprise, but she was a thirteen-year-old girl, could she treat people! On the spot, someone pointed at Jin Qing and asked in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, this is the little miracle doctor you said can cure people by grabbing a handful of grass?" ”
Aunt Bolt's face turned red, originally she bragged about it, but when everyone didn't believe Jinqing, she slapped her thigh and said, "You don't look down on people!" My knee hurts so much that I can't walk on a rainy day, and it doesn't hurt anymore after taking Jinqing's medicine! ”
Jin Qing smiled slightly, but when she first made the medicine, she synthesized some simple medicines with the extract of poplar bark, which was very effective in treating Aunt Embolus's rheumatoid arthritis, and Aunt Embolus had nothing to repay her, so she could only spare no effort to promote her to others.
Jin Qing carried the medicine box and followed everyone to the place, it was two broken thatched houses at the west end of the village, and now there lived a man in his forties, with a tall man and a big beard, it stands to reason that this kind of person looks the most terrifying, but this man plays with the children in the village every day, like an old naughty boy, any child can climb on his neck and ride a big horse, and is deeply loved by the underage flowers in Zhujia Village.
I don't know who this man's surname is, I only know that children affectionately call him "bearded". The original Jin Qing was introverted, almost staying at home, and he didn't know many people, and he also constrained Jin Zhi from going out, Jin Qing only knew that he had only settled in Zhujia Village in the past three or four years, and when he first came, a tattered robe and a thin horse were all his belongings.
Because of the strength of others, he is a bachelor, relying on short-term work, and the whole family is not hungry.
At the beginning, the villagers saw that he was having fun with the children, and they were a little suspicious of him, for fear that he was a trafficker from outside and secretly abducted the children to sell, but after a few years of contact, they found that this man was a really good person, and they were all relieved that the children went to play with him.
The "bearded" was lying on the ground of the hall, the trouser leg of his right leg was high, and his calf was covered with blood. ”
Jin Qing was startled when she saw the blood on her legs, and hurriedly asked the adults to hold the children away, quickly unloaded the medicine box, and asked someone to fetch two buckets of water in. I looked around again, it was really a family with four walls, except for a clay kang in the room, there was nothing else, empty, this "bearded" I heard that he was quite capable of working, how could he not even save some family business.
"Big beard" saw that a little girl in Jinqing frowned and looked serious, and felt funny, and stood up with his arm and smiled: "I don't have much of a big deal, but my leg was scratched by a branch." ”
While speaking, Jin Qing had already washed his hands with his sleeves, and washed the wound of the "beard" with water, and the wound that was originally covered by blood was clearly presented in front of everyone.
Starting from the crook of the leg, the wound was half a foot long, half a finger deep, the skin was open, the flesh inside was turned out, and it was still bleeding out, and some children cried in fright on the spot.
Jin Qing exclaimed: "What kind of branch do you draw to be so deep?!" ”
"Bearded" blinked his eyes and smiled and did not speak, and a bold child on the side said: "The second egg wants to dig out the bird's nest, and the bearded man goes up for him, but the branch is broken, and the beard falls down, and he is afraid of hitting the second egg on the ground, and the leg will be cut by the sharp branches cut off by the people on the tree." ”
The child spoke upside down, and Jin Qing understood the truth of the matter after piecing it together, and touched the leg bone of the "bearded", but fortunately it was not broken. This "bearded" is a man, and he is still able to talk and laugh freely when he is injured like this.
Jin Qing carefully soaked a cotton cloth in alcohol to wipe the skin and flesh near the wound for the "beard", and muttered with a depressed face: "What kind of child is digging a bird's nest when you are such an adult?" ”
"Bearded" grinned, "Isn't that accidental!" ”
What an old urchin!
Jin Qing smiled, if it was someone else, such a big wound would have hurt and crying father and mother, Jin Qing looked at him and asked, "Are you afraid of pain?" ”
The "bearded" snorted and said with a smile: "Of course I'm not afraid!" ”
Don't be afraid of pain, Jin Qing took out a homemade sheep intestine and a needle from the medicine box, put it on the lamp and burned it, the sheep intestine is her own homemade, she doesn't know if the effect is good or not, but it is absolutely natural and will not have any side effects. Sheep gut is the earliest surgical suture, which can be well integrated into the skin and flesh, and will only leave a little mark.
Looking at the curious onlookers around him, Jin Qing intuitively felt that the next thing was too shocking for the Tang Dynasty people, and said embarrassedly: "If you are okay, go back first, I'm afraid you will be scared." ”
Everyone hurriedly waved their hands, you are not afraid of a little girl, what are we afraid of! Children also watch the novelty and are reluctant to go out.
Jin Qing had no choice but to turn around, carefully tidy up the two pieces of flying flesh on the legs of the "bearded", and sew them up.
When there was even a short and stout man standing behind Jin Qing, he fainted on the ground with a scream. Immediately someone carried him out and filled his place.
Jin Qing had only sutured animals before, but they were all anesthetized on the test bench, and she didn't feel any pain, so she couldn't sew it any way. It was the first time in her life to stitch up, she couldn't get an anesthetic now, every time she stitched, she felt that the "bearded" body trembled obviously, even if he didn't say it, Jin Qing knew that he was in pain.
It was getting dark, and the "bearded" face was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, his face was pale, and he smiled weakly at Jinqing: "You little doctor is really good at tossing people, I would have known that I wouldn't have let you come, wouldn't the bag be fine?" ”
Jin Qing saw that he was struggling to speak, and realized that he couldn't hold it anymore, but the sky was getting darker, and Jin Qing was about to see the needle and thread clearly, so he hurriedly shouted at the person behind him: "Hurry up and light the light!" ”
Aunt Bolt and the two of them hurriedly went out to hug a bundle of firewood, came back, and lit a fire beside Jinqing. Jin Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the bright light, and the stitching was completed in a short time.
Looking at Jinqing's stitching, the five or six onlookers were amazed, and Aunt Plug patted her chest with a smile of satisfaction.
Jin Qing appreciated it with satisfaction, the effect was better than she imagined, the stitching was not bad this time, there were some blood foam tightly outside the skin, Jin Qing wiped off the blood foam with a cotton cloth stained with alcohol, wrapped the wound with a clean cloth strip, and told the "bearded" wound not to pull or see water for a month, and it is best to walk on crutches, and don't use force on the calf.
The "bearded" man didn't say a word in pain like that, and when he heard that he couldn't move vigorously for a month, he immediately felt bitter.
What made him even more bitter was still behind, Jin Qing carefully washed his hands and stretched out his hand in front of him, "Twenty big money!" ”
"Huh?" The bearded man was dumbfounded, and resigned himself to his fate in his arms for a long time, but he only found a dozen copper plates, and after counting for a long time, there were only seventeen.
Jin Qing unceremoniously took the copper plate from the bearded man's hand, counted seven with a smile and put it back, looking at the bearded man's puzzled eyes, Jin Qing smiled: "Forget it, I only charge you ten money, and you can keep the rest, I will come to see your injury in two days, and it will be fine in half a month." ”
The bearded man smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, this little girl, with patches on her green cloth long skirt and a few holes in a pair of black cloth shoes, is not beautiful but long and pleasing, she is a good girl with a good heart.
Jin Qing went home by moonlight, and a few men who called her were afraid that a little girl would not be safe at night, and she would fall into the ditch when she walked at night.
Mama Liu was in a hurry at home, and Jin Zhi had been coaxed to sleep by her, and when she saw that Jin Qing had come back safely, she breathed a sigh of relief and brought Jin Qing the cakes and noodle soup that were still hot in the pot.
Jin Qing was already hungry, and she always felt that there was still a smell of blood on her hands, so she washed outside the door for a long time before entering the house to eat, and gave the ten big money she had just earned to Mama Liu.
Sooner or later, she will take her grandmother and younger brother to live a good life of food and clothing.
