Chapter 45: Saving a Life
When she arrived at the entrance of the village, she found the four girls sitting under the bare willow tree with her head shrunk, she saw Su Yanniang's carriage and hurriedly ran over: "Sister-in-law, why did you come back so late today?" ”
Su Yanniang used to come back before lunch when she went to the town, but today the four girls were hungry, and Su Yanniang hadn't returned yet, and the four girls were so worried that they couldn't help but go to the entrance of the village to look.
"Shh Su Yanniang made a silent gesture towards her, opened the curtain and asked the four girls to look inside the car.
The fourth girl vaguely saw the outline of a man, and she was surprised: "Sister-in-law, who is this?" ”
"I picked it up by the river, and he was very badly wounded, and he looked pitiful." Su Yanniang said succinctly, "Let's find a way to save him." ”
"How can you save it?" The fourth girl was a little worried, "Why don't you send him to Lizheng's house?" ”
"Li Zheng may not want to take care of this kind of nosy, he is very seriously injured, he must be bandaged immediately, let's take him to our house first." Su Yanniang was also a little sad, "But this matter must not be known to your second brother and sister-in-law." ”
If Gao knew that she had saved a man and came back, within half a day, her gossip would definitely appear in the whole village.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry." The fourth girl said, "The second sister-in-law went back to her parents' house in the afternoon, the second brother was absent from work today, just now Li Zheng sent someone to ask the second brother to return the salary, the second brother couldn't take it, so he was arrested and went to the field to catch up with the work, counting the second sister-in-law's share, he may not be able to come back in the past two days." ”
"God is helping me." Su Yanniang muttered, asked the four girls to get into the carriage, and drove the carriage to the door of the house.
"Sister-in-law." Lan Xiuwen came out of the courtyard, holding a book in his hand.
"Third uncle, you're just right, come and help." Su Yanniang beckoned him over.
Lan Xiuwen saw the people in the car, and surprise flashed in his eyes, Su Yanniang explained to him again, Lan Xiuwen didn't say anything, and went up and carried the person down neatly.
"Third uncle, you plan to place him in your house." Su Yanniang watched Lan Xiuwen carry the man directly into his house, she originally planned to let the man sleep in her room, she and the four girls squeezed together.
"He sleeps in my room, so that no gossip will come out." Lan Xiuwen put the person on the bed, "In the future, when someone asks, my sister-in-law will say that this person was rescued by me, so as not to let those people with ghosts in their hearts think nonsense." ”
"It's still the third uncle who is thoughtful." Su Yanniang said with a smile.
Lan Xiuyuan is a hunter, he works in the forest all day long, and injuries are common, so he always has all kinds of injury medicine at home. The fourth girl brought the medicine box in, and Su Yanniang came out with her and closed the door, asking Lan Xiuwen to give him medicine.
The two of them went to move the things off the carriage, Su Yanniang took out the brocade box, solemnly put it in the hands of the four girls, and repeated the words of the embroidery girl, she patted the head of the four girls with satisfaction: "When the four of us grow up, we can make money for the family." ”
The fourth girl hugged the brocade box tightly, tears flashed in her eyes, she always felt that she was the most useless person in the family, she couldn't carry it on her shoulders, she couldn't lift it with her hands, she couldn't reduce the burden on the family, the second sister-in-law proposed to sell her to Zhao Butcher as a concubine, she couldn't resist, and she accepted her fate. At that time, she thought that she was a burden at home anyway, so she might as well exchange herself for some silver.
The sister-in-law now tells her that she is not a useless person and that she can do something for the family...... The fourth girl sniffed and said firmly: "Sister-in-law, I must embroider well." ”
Su Yanniang nodded when she saw this, the four girls were already a little inferior, and the Gao family had hit her for many years, so that the four girls would inevitably have the idea of being self-inferior, Su Yanniang must now make the four girls realize that she is not a useless person.
"That's right." Su Yanniang took out four more pieces of cloth and handed them to the four girls, "Seeing that it is going to be the end of the year, we have some money on hand this year, and we don't have to be as shabby as in previous years, you can take these four pieces of cloth, and make a few clothes for you, me, and your third brother Yao'er in your spare time." ”
"Okay." The fourth girl took it, she didn't ask her sister-in-law why she didn't do it for the second brother and sister-in-law, as the sister-in-law said, even if the blood is thicker than water, they also pay attention to the coming and going, and they have been paying but not getting a response, and anyone will be cold.
Su Yanniang drove the carriage to Aunt Sun's house, and then went to the village doctor to prescribe a few pairs of anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicines, she returned home, fried the medicine, and caught a hen from the chicken coop, killed it in the yard, and stewed it on the stove.
Lan Yao hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Auntie, that strange man in the third uncle's house has woken up!" ”
Su Yanniang paused, woke up so soon? He was half dead just now.
"Yao'er, go and call the third uncle and aunt to come over for dinner." Su Yanniang scooped up a bowl of chicken soup and prepared to serve it to Lan Xiuwen's house.
Lan Xiuwen was coming out of the house at this time and saw Su Yanniang: "Sister-in-law." ”
"Fang Caiyao'er said that the person in the house woke up, is it true?" Su Yanniang asked.
"Hmm." Lan Xiuwen nodded, admiration appeared in his eyes, "He is really a man, just now when I cleaned his wounds, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, I have seen my eldest brother have this perseverance......"
Lan Xiuwen intuitively said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly smiled and changed the topic: "What is my sister-in-law cooking, it's really fragrant." ”
Su Yanniang couldn't see anything on her face: "The chicken soup is boiled in the kitchen, you go over and eat it with the four girls, and I'll send this medicine to that person." ”
Su Yanniang entered the house, and saw that the man was sitting on the bed rail, staring at the wound on his wrist, and when he heard the movement, his eyes swept over, and Su Yanniang noticed that he had a pair of extremely sharp eyes, which made people daunted.
Su Yanniang was a little uncomfortable, she had nothing to say: "That...... I don't know what you call Childe? ”
The other party did not speak.
Su Yanniang smiled awkwardly and handed over the medicine bowl in her hand: "You are seriously injured, and you didn't deal with it in time, you have to drink this medicine so that you won't have a fever at night." ”
The man stared at the medicine bowl and did not move.
Su Yanniang thought that the other party would ignore her, and was about to put down the medicine bowl and go out, but the man reached out and caught the medicine bowl and drank it all.
He handed over the medicine bowl, and Su Yanniang suddenly heard him say lightly: "Chu Mu, my name." ”
Su Yanniang was stunned for a moment, only to understand that he was answering her previous question, and she smiled: "Young Master Chu must be hungry now, I'll go serve you a bowl of chicken soup." ”
Su Yanniang retreated to the door and turned around hesitantly: "Dare to ask Master Chu, where did the injuries on your body come from?" Belch...... I don't know where your family is, do you need us to help us inform us? ”
Su Yanniang was still a little worried, if this person was really a bad person, it would be too dangerous to be under the same roof, she planned to test it first, if he dodged his eyes and avoided his words, she still quickly notified Li Zheng to arrest someone.
