Chapter 3 Saving People
The dense woods cover most of the scorching sun, and from time to time there is a small sound in the woods, and the trees swing their branches to bring a lot of coolness.
A hare came out of the grass halfway up the mountain, and it scurried into the bushes with a kick on its hind legs, Shen Yuanyao put down the person who was dragging him, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead. His eyes swept to the entrance of a cave covered by wild grass, and the half-dragged man walked towards the cave again.
She pushed away the bushes not a poisonous snake, but a man covered in blood and unconscious in a trap. Shen Yuanyao hesitated for a long time between going home and saving people, but he still brought people here, and being scolded for being late at home is not a matter compared to not saving people when he dies.
Shen Yuanyao took the people to the cave, checked the exposed wounds one by one, stopped at the man's chest, grabbed the torn clothes with both hands, and pulled them both sides, and the harsh sound sounded.
A long cut was made on the man's chest, the skin and flesh at the wound turned white and turned out, Shen Yuanyao felt a churning in his stomach, and the smell of blood in the cave became strong.
It was the first time she had looked directly at a bloody wound, and she could wail for a long time with a small wound in the past, even if her face, which had been pretending to be calm, was cracked. Holding back the sourness that swelled in his throat, he trembled and went to rummage in the bamboo basket to find something.
Ben, who was unconscious, was also pulled to the wound by her rough movements, and subconsciously swallowed the moans overflowing from his throat, and his eyelids turned to be faint awakening.
Half-open, he saw a man half-crouched in front of him, lying in front of the light of the hole, and only a vague outline could be seen, and a long bundle of hair hanging neatly down.
Shen Yuanyao didn't notice that the man had woken up at all, and looked intently at the long wound on the man's chest, this man was also fatal, and he knew that he had to stop the bleeding for himself, otherwise what she saw today was a cold corpse.
The tip of the man's nose was full of blood, and he couldn't exert his strength, and the owner of the long hair poured out most of the clean water from the kettle and carefully rinsed the wound. I wanted to endure it for a while and not make a sound, but as soon as Qing Shui touched the wound, the stinging sensation hit like a flood, and I couldn't bear it anymore.
"Uh-huh." Shen Yuanyao raised his eyes when he heard the voice, crashed into a deep eye, his hand trembled, and the man snorted again, his brows furrowed, and the corners of his eyes flashed with a hint of water.
Shen Yuanyao turned his head pretending to be calm, his eyes fell on his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "Bear with it, I will have to take medicine later." "It means that it still hurts a little to clean the wound, and it will hurt even more when the medicine is applied.
The man didn't hear what she was saying at all, the pain in his chest caused a ringing in his ears, a rapid panting, and a long time in his heart.
After the wound was bandaged, Shen Yuanyao raised his eyes again, and the man's chest was slowly calming down, and he said slowly: "Your wound is too big, you need stitches to get better faster." ”
The man's eyelids were half-closed, his face was pale and almost transparent, his lips were dry and peeling, and the whole person looked embarrassed, but Shen Yuanyao knew that he was not embarrassed at all, when he opened his eyes and looked at you quietly, if it weren't for her deep experience in the previous life, she would have been bewitched by that glance.
"Stitched?" The man heard what she said clearly this time, and his thin lips moved up and down, looking at her with questions.
Shen Yuanyao's head hurt, and he remembered that there should be no talk of stitching up wounds in this era, but his face remained unchanged at all, and he said: "My master taught that stitching up a big wound can make the wound heal faster." ”
said this on his lips, but in his heart, he put his palms together and asked the old doctor to bear with him, and after explaining, he felt that saying this to a stranger was not enough to draw a snake.
Fortunately, the man didn't think much about it, and nodded casually after hearing it.
Shen Yuanyao found a piece of clean gauze, and when he reached the top of the water, he was about to step forward, but the man subconsciously turned his face sideways to avoid her movements, and looked at her with a sharp gaze in his eyes.
"Your lips are so dry, dip them in water." Just looking at the subconscious movements, without him opening his mouth, Shen Yuanyao could also think of what this man was going to ask, and put the gauze in his hand, not caring whether he could move or not.
"Is there anyone else in Childe's family? Do you want to notify someone to come looking for you? ”
Although the man's robe was tattered and covered with mud and blood, it could be seen from the pattern on the cuffs of the caftan that it was much more expensive than the bargain she was wearing.
She also saved the person and sent the Buddha to the west, so she opened her mouth to ask.
"In the next season Wennan, thank you for the girl's life-saving grace, someone in the family will come to look for me."
It has been a day and a night since Ji Wennan was injured, and it is estimated that the servants at home are searching nearby, but Shen Yuanyao ran into him earlier than his servants, as long as he waits here for a little longer, the servants will find this place.
Seeing the frank expression of the woman in front of him, the man hesitated for a while, moved his arm and gave her the wooden card in his hand, "There is nothing to repay, if you have something to ask for, take this wooden card to Hongfu Inn to find me." ”
"Shen Yuanyao." Shen Yuanyao took the wooden sign and didn't say anything, since everyone said so, he left him the water and dry food, put the basket on his back and turned to leave.
Ji Wennan witnessed Shen Yuanyao's back walking away, and the last trace of strength was exhausted, half-closed his eyelids to rest, holding a piece of gauze stained with water in his hand, and his palm was cool.
Not long after Shen Yuanyao left, there were slight footsteps at the entrance of the cave, and Ji Wennan didn't even lift his eyelids.
"Childe, forgive your subordinates for being late!" As soon as the visitor stepped into the cave, he felt the strong smell of blood, and when he saw the man lying on his back on the stone bed, he anxiously stepped forward to check.
The sun was setting, and the twilight had gradually stained the sky, Shen Yuanyao slowed down and limped home.
I saw the smoke rising from the chimney of the Shen family from a distance, and as soon as I walked to the front of the courtyard of the Shen family, I heard Shen Yuanyao's sister-in-law Jia Xiuli scolding: "A little rabbit cub without a father and a mother, he is waiting to eat without doing any work." ”
"Beautiful, yelling." Qin Hua is also at home today, "Sanya is ready to go home, and I don't know how to think when I hear it." ”
"Whatever she thinks, the ground doesn't go down, so she takes a little rabbit cub to make a herb all day long, what does it look like!" Jia Xiuli has always looked at her sister-in-law unpleasantly, how could she let go of any opportunity to slander her sister-in-law, she was still puzzled after speaking, and rolled her eyes at Liu Anyi.
Qin Hua stopped saying anything when she heard this, she had been weak for half her life, and she was dissatisfied with Jia Xiuli talking about her daughter, but no matter what the eldest daughter-in-law said, she gave birth to two eldest grandsons to the Shen family, especially the second Shen Hongwei disappeared as soon as she left, and she valued these two precious grandsons even more, for the sake of her lack of credit and hard work.
She can say whatever she likes, and if she doesn't care, compared to her daughter Shen Yuanyao, naturally the eldest son and the two grandsons are more important.
Shen Yuanyao stood at the door for a long time, eased the breath in his chest, pushed the door and walked into the courtyard.
"Auntie!" Liu Anyi saw the courtyard door pushed open, and saw Shen Yuanyao shake the branch in his hand and ran over.
Qin Hua was squatting in front of the yard picking up the dried rice stalks, and when she saw Shen Yuanyao coming in, her eyes fell on the hare she was holding in her hand, "Why did you come home so late?" ”
"Today, I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and I was stumbling to catch these two hares." This is still the way she thought when she went down the mountain and saw the hare fleeing in the mountains and forests, she is not good at making too many changes now, in case someone detects it, it is difficult to escape, she still has to endure it for a little longer.
When Qin Hua heard her daughter say this, she realized that her daughter was walking in a strange posture, and stepped forward to pick up the hare in Shen Yuanyao's hand, and said distressedly: "The hare that caught it was very good, and it hurt itself, it's not worth it." ”
Shen Yuanyao looked at her and swept away her previous anger, and knew in her heart whether these two hares were worth it.
Liu Anyi's eyes also fell on the hare, but when he saw that the two hares were carried away by the grandmother, he obediently helped Shen Yuanyao's arm and walked to the front of the hall.
Jia Xiuli heard the movement outside the courtyard, turned out of the kitchen, and when she saw Shen Yuanyao, she said sarcastically, "Miss Shen is willing to come home?" Why don't you play more and come home again? ”
Shen Yuanyao didn't raise her eyelids, but said to Qin Hua: "Auntie, kill a hare tomorrow to make up for your father and eldest brother." ”
Qin Hua nodded with a smile, carried the hare and walked to the cage, closed the cage and specially checked it a few times that it would not be easily opened, and then went back to clean up the rice stalks.
"This hare looks thin and doesn't pull a few, can have a few taels of meat, and doesn't catch a few more." Jia Xiuli stabbed her a few more words before turning around and going back to the kitchen.
In the dead of night, Shen Yuanyao fanned the pu fan again and again, and the tip of her nose was full of the fragrance of medicinal herbs.
The Shen family's house does not occupy a large area, Shen Yuanyao can generally live in three rooms, this room was originally Shen Hongwei's house, Shen Hongwei left home to meet Jia Xiuli's wishes, almost didn't jump up and set off firecrackers, thinking that Shen Yong would move over when he saw Shen Yongzong's two brothers when they were older, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to suddenly return home, which made her very angry.
Shen Sanya has become a habit of collecting medicine every day, and the only thing she insists on is to keep her adoptive father's medical skills from declining, even if she has been sneered at by her sister-in-law, she is tired and tired.
In order not to give Jia Xiuli a reason to make irresponsible remarks, all the herbs that had been dried during this time were moved to this room, and the already small room was instantly cramped.
But it's not a way to put it like this, what's the use of hoarding medicinal materials, no matter how much no one uses, it's a pile of waste, thinking that Ming'er will ask if anyone collects medicinal herbs.
