Next Chapter

When Jiang Yuanyuan woke up, her head was clouded, and the rain crackled on her face and hurt, she raised her hand on the ground with difficulty and got up, looking at the surrounding mountains and forests, and the residual memory made her remember what happened all of a sudden.

She remembered that she was a few partners to beat chestnuts, the chestnuts at the foot of the mountain were almost picked, and they couldn't hit the higher, so they didn't want to run for nothing, a few girls encouraged me, I encouraged you, and came to the middle of the mountain to pick chestnuts together, there was no big danger since then, but I didn't expect to encounter a wild boar as soon as I came up.

Memories came flooding up, her sluggish nerves also began to react, her legs throbbed, and her face was hot, Jiang Yuanyuan covered her face, thinking of what happened, she realized what had happened, her nerves were suddenly broken, and she covered her face in disbelief, and her suppressed cry gradually came out.

A little wild boar was grinding its teeth by a tree, and they were all stunned when they saw it, and they didn't know how to react, so they ran away screaming, but that's it, attracting the boar's attention.

Jiang Yuanyuan remembered very well that she ran down with her cousin Jiang Qian, and the wild boar chased them all the way, and the two girls' houses were mountain roads, where could they run past the wild boar, she was behind, and saw the wild boar chasing after her, hitting her leg, she fell down in pain, and even pounced on Jiang Qian, and the two rolled down the mountain together and fainted.

"Ahh Yes! Jiang Yuanyuan shouted in pain, she wanted to scream hard, but she couldn't hear her own voice, she smelled the smell of blood, felt the pain from her legs, she was very scared, the blood made her eyes black for a while, she didn't dare to look directly at her legs.

She didn't know how long she had been lying here, she didn't know where her friends had come up with her, she sat helplessly on the ground, clutching her knees and crying out in pain.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and gradually, small stones fell from the mountain, and she did not wait for people to come, and she became more and more helpless, more and more afraid,

Realizing that she had to do it for a long time, Jiang Yuanyuan wiped a handful of tears, she took off her coat and carefully wrapped her knees, and stood up on the ground, the severe pain made her almost unsteady.

"Jiang Qian!" After barely standing firmly, Jiang Yuanyuan took a stick between them, she held the stick and moved forward little by little, shouting while moving, the rain washed her eyes, making her a little unable to open her eyes, under the pain, her body became hotter and hotter, and her head became more and more dizzy, I don't know how long she walked, and when Jiang Yuanyuan felt that she couldn't do it, she finally saw a figure in a place.

"Sister Qian!" Jiang Yuanyuan walked forward excitedly, she stepped on a bulging stone buried in the grass, and as soon as her foot fell, the whole person threw herself to the ground.

"Ahh

Subconsciously protecting her head, she grabbed a raised stone to prevent it from rolling down, Jiang Yuanyuan gasped a few times, she rubbed forward a little, and crawled towards Jiang Qian little by little, "Sister Qian!" ”

Jiang Qian was lying on the ground facing the ground, and next to her was a tree, which prevented her from continuing to roll down. After Jiang Yuanyuan climbed over, she hugged the trunk of the tree, and occasionally there would be stones rolling down on the mountain, and she came to the top of Jiang Qian and blocked some stones for her.

"Scared!!"

Turning Jiang Qian over, seeing Jiang Qian's face full of blood, Jiang Yuanyuan was startled, she trembled and touched Jiang Yuanyuan's face, her face was still hot, very hot, Jiang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finding a companion gave her some confidence and was not so panicked, but she was still very afraid, her eyes were black from time to time, her head was getting more and more dizzy, and she even began to see the scene in front of her a little clearly, Jiang Yuanyuan wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry.

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan!" vaguely seemed to hear some shouts, Jiang Yuanyuan held her breath, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully, but there was the sound of rain in her ears, she seemed to hear something, but she felt that she didn't hear anything.

"Qian! Yuan girl! Another vague voice came, this time hearing it clearly, Jiang Yuanyuan gasped and shed tears of gratitude.

"I'm here, we're here! Brother! Father! Mother! Uncle! Auntie! We're here. Jiang Yuanyuan shouted loudly, her throat was trembling, she hugged Jiang Qian, crying one after another, suppressed emotions exploded, she shouted harder, shouted more and more dizzy, and her whole body began to tremble.

"Boom~~" A muffled thunder suddenly sounded, the rain seemed to be heavier again, Jiang Yuanyuan didn't know if anyone responded to her, she used all her strength to roar, after this muffled thunder, she only felt that her head was getting more and more dizzy, the world was spinning in front of her, she had no strength, fell to the ground, the remaining consciousness let her know that she couldn't faint, she clenched a stone and knocked on another stone, unconsciously moving.

When she woke up again, she was lying on her own pit, she saw her mother crying in front of the pit, and there were many charcoal fires lit in the house, and she wanted to tell her mother not to waste charcoal fires, but before she could open her mouth, she fainted again in a groggy state.

opened her eyes in a daze, a burst of bright light in front of her made Jiang Yuanyuan subconsciously close her eyes again, she twitched, gasped heavily, this breath exhaled, as if the turbid breath blocked in her chest was spit out, Jiang Yuanyuan could clearly feel something flowing out of her mouth, and then, she felt very comfortable, gradually, the smell of medicine poured into her nose, she didn't like the smell of medicine since she was a child, and coughed up when she smelled it.

"Little sister!"

Jiang Yuanyuan felt that someone came over and patted her back gently, she spit out a little more, then she felt better, and took a few heavy breaths, Jiang Yuanyuan opened her eyes tentatively, and after a burst of bright light passed, she saw everything in front of her clearly, and the eldest brother looked at her with concern.

Jiang Yuanyuan opened her mouth to say that she was fine, but she couldn't make a sound, she coughed a few more times and smiled at her eldest brother.

"Mother, mother! The little sister woke up. Jiang Xuan shouted excitedly, and Jiang's mother rushed in from outside the house, her face full of tears.

"Yuan! Mother's Yuan, you can be regarded as awake! ”

Jiang's mother cried as soon as she walked in, she rushed over, looked at her daughter's face, and tears fell as if she didn't want money.

Jiang Yuanyuan opened her mouth and couldn't make a sound at all, Jiang Xuan quickly poured a glass of water, Jiang's mother carefully fed it to Jiang Yuanyuan's mouth, and drank a glass of water, Jiang Yuanyuan felt that the hot feeling in her throat was better.

"Xuanzi, go and heat up the chicken soup, and then call your father back." Mother Jiang excitedly held her child's hand, she touched a handful of tears, and instructed her son, looking at her daughter's pale face, and touching her face even more distressedly.

"Oh, yes!" Jiang Xuan nodded, also secretly touched the sourness in the corners of his eyes, turned around and hurriedly went to serve soup to his little sister.

Jiang Yuanyuan pulled her mouth and laughed again, this time it seemed to be pulling the wound on her face, the soreness and pain made her twitch, and she realized that something was wrong, how could she not feel the pain in her legs!

"Mother... Mother ......" Jiang Yuanyuan struggled to make a sound, her throat was a little burning pain, and her face seemed to rub against the filth she had just spit out, slippery and greasy, a little disgusting, "Legs, mine, legs ......"

When Jiang's mother heard this, she was stunned for a moment, her tears also fell, looking at her daughter's pleading eyes, she hugged her daughter hard, and wiped the filth on her daughter's face tremblingly.

"Yuan, you heard my mother say that the doctor said that he can't cure his leg, and even if he is cured, he has to use crutches...... It's useless, if you have money, we can take you to the doctor......"

Jiang's mother said that she was sad to cry with her tears, Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned, her hand in the quilt tightly pulled her clothes, tears turned a few times in her eyes, she forcibly endured it, she gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying, and the whole person was trembling.

"Yuanyuan!" The door was opened, and Jiang's father, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes, walked in, and saw his sad wife crying and the woman lying on the bed with tears in her eyes, and the dignified seven-foot man couldn't help choking.

Jiang's father walked forward step by step, walked in front of his daughter, looked at his daughter, he gently squatted down and held his daughter's hand, nodded slowly for a long time, and hugged Jiang Yuanyuan hard, "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up." Child, my child! ”

Jiang Yuanyuan lowered her head and leaned on her father's shoulder and shed tears.

Jiang Yuanyuan lay in bed for a month before she could get out of bed, and these days, she also knew about the situation of the other four people who were with her from her brother's mouth. Jiang Qian's face was scratched by a branch, and there was a wound on her forehead, and she vomited and trembled after waking up at that time, which scared people to death, but it was okay to delay it for a few days, it was not very serious, and the doctor said that the scratches on her face were good to apply ointment, and they could be eliminated in two years.

The other three people were all some minor injuries, the most serious one only fell on his hand when he ran, they ran far away, avoided the wild boar, and when they ran down the mountain, they knew that they and Jiang Qian did not go down, Jiang's father found a lot of villagers to go up the mountain inch by inch to look for them, and it took a long time to find them.

When he said these things, Jiang Xuan's eyes were still faintly filled with tears.

According to Jiang Xuan's description at the time, they almost missed the two of them behind the tree, and if it weren't for the faint sound of stones that made them look at them one or two more, they really missed them.

Jiang Yuanyuan was the most seriously injured, and his knee was stabbed, leaving behind an injury that may accompany him for the rest of his life. Jiang's father took all the savings of the family to ask a doctor to see Jiang Yuanyuan, they are in the countryside, occasionally sick are waiting for themselves to get better, it is really uncomfortable to find some barefoot doctors to see, ten miles and eight towns naturally can not find any doctors, go to the county to invite the doctor to help Jiang Yuanyuan save her legs, said that if you want to be treated, you have to go to the capital to see maybe there is a way.

When she knew that her leg couldn't get better, Jiang Yuanyuan was really desperate, she regretted why she ran to the mountain to hunt chestnuts, why she didn't believe in evil and had to run halfway up the mountain, but she regretted that she couldn't get her leg back, looking at Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's sad appearance, Jiang Yuanyuan cheered herself up, she thought, lame, lame, although lame, but the leg is still there, fortunately in misfortune, she should be satisfied.

Jiang Yuanyuan is fifteen years old this year, and at the beginning of spring this year, the Jiang family talked to Jiang Yuanyuan about her in-laws with a family surnamed Wang in a neighboring township, and originally said that they would get married in the spring of next year, but this happened, and there are legends in the neighborhood that the Wang family wants to withdraw from their relatives, and Jiang's mother also knows it in her heart, but she still has a glimmer of hope.

In Jiang's mother's heart, if her daughter is dismissed after hurting her leg, no one will be willing to marry her daughter.

For this matter, Jiang Yuanyuan didn't feel anything, she didn't know anything about the person she was going to marry, after knowing that the two families were married, she begged Jiang Xuan to accompany her to secretly go to the Wang family to take a few looks, she looked ordinary, she was still a scholar, wearing different clothes from the countrymen, holding a tattered book while shaking her head and looking at it.

Now her leg is lame, she has nothing to say after being withdrawn, the doctor has said, there must be something wrong with this leg, the pain is not counted on rainy days, and it is not good to keep warm in autumn and winter, maybe you can't even walk.

This morning, after Jiang Yuanyuan woke up, there was no one at home, and she spent all her family savings for her own treatment, and she used to eat some meat and sacrifice her teeth, but now she can only ensure food and clothing, and she doesn't dare to think about it at all, because Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are thinking about telling Jiang Xuan about their relatives at the beginning of spring next year, and in order to earn more money to pay for their brother's dowry, so everyone in the family went to the fields to farm.

Walking to the lobby on crutches, on the table in the lobby was the breakfast that Jiang's mother had left for herself, simple millet porridge, two steamed buns and her own pickled sour radish and capers, which tasted very appetizing, and the porridge already had a layer of porridge film on it, and it was sticky to eat, covering a layer of mucous membrane on the corner of her mouth, Jiang Yuanyuan squinted her eyes and drank happily with a bowl of sip.

"Big brother and sister-in-law! Are you at home? A woman's shout came from outside the door, and Jiang Yuanyuan put down the porridge in her hand and tried to look out.
