Chapter 6: Bitten by a Snake
Su Xiao'e has a plan in her heart, and now she knows that Xu Jianjian's leg can be cured, so she will make good money.
It is the Dragon Boat Festival in a few days, and when she was in her mother's house in the past, she would pick some zongzi leaves and wrap some zongzi to sell in the city.
Although these things are very common in the countryside, they are very scarce in the city, and many dual-income workers buy wrapped zongzi to go home.
After she told Zhang Qinfen about this idea, Zhang Qinfen immediately agreed.
and asked Su Xiao'e to take Xu Wanwan to sell it together, and many people took care of it.
Xu Jianjian, after finishing the work at home, went to the mountains.
When he returned, he had a pheasant and two hares in his hand.
Su Xiao'e looked at the cute rabbit, and the corners of her mouth were about to leave saliva.
She thought that when there was no food at home, her brother went to the mountains to find food, and when she was lucky, she would catch a rabbit, and then she made the rabbit spicy.
That taste, as soon as she thought about it, Su Xiao'e felt her saliva water.
Xu Jianshe looked at Su Xiao'e with an excited face, and felt a little funny in his heart.
"Do you like rabbits, or do you like rabbit meat?"
"Isn't it different?"
“……”
Xu Jianshe ignored Su Xiao'e, and walked towards the courtyard directly with the harvest in his hand.
Early the next morning, Su Xiao'e took Xu Wanwan to the reeds to tear the reed leaves, and the weather at this time was just getting hot.
Stepping on the water is not particularly cold, but there is a trace of coolness.
"Sister-in-law, how many reed leaves are we going to pull?"
Xu Wanwan wiped the sweat from her forehead, and pulled a large handful of reed leaves in her hand and put them in the back basket.
Su Xiao'e looked at the back basket and recalled the scene in previous years, there were more people buying reed leaves, but more people buying zongzi.
Because at this time in the county, all the zongzi sold were still white zongzi, but Su Xiao'e was different, she made sweet and salty zongzi, and was willing to add ingredients to it, so there were many people who bought it.
"Let's get more, go back and wrap the dumplings and cook them, and we can sell them tomorrow."
Xu Wanwan nodded, and continued to work hard.
At this time, Su Xiao'e heard the sound of "hee hee suosuo" coming from the reeds.
She was startled, and her hand subconsciously threw the thing out.
"Wanwan, did you hear the voice?"
At this time, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the reeds, and if you are not careful, you will be bitten by a snake.
When Xu Wanwan heard Su Xiao'e's words, she also stopped what she was doing, and calmed down to listen carefully.
But after listening to it for a long time, I didn't hear anything.
Su Xiao'e thought she had misheard, and was about to continue tearing the reed leaves, when suddenly her feet and neck ached violently.
She looked down and saw that a snake had bitten her leg.
Although it was just a vegetable green snake, Su Xiao'e still screamed in fright.
"Ahh
As soon as she screamed, the snake swam away from the water as if frightened.
Xu Wanwan, who was in the distance, also heard Su Xiao'e's cry, and hurriedly rushed over, just when she came over, Su Xiao'e saw a figure in the reeds disappearing quickly.
But Su Xiao'e's foot was injured, and she wanted to chase it, but the pain in her foot still made her give up this year.
When Xu Wanwan came over, the snake had already slipped away, she looked at the injured Su Xiao'e, and hurriedly helped her ashore.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go home and call someone, you wait."
Where did Su Xiao'e dare to wait here at this time, the snake scared her half to death just now, and she also saw the figure that had just slipped away.
If others are okay to say, if this is a second leper, then according to what he has done to him, he must not slaughter himself.
So she hurriedly said:
"I'm out of the way, just help me go back."
Xu Wanwan hesitated for a moment, seeing that Su Xiao'e really insisted, so she could only help her to walk towards the village doctor's place.
When she met people in the village on the way, Xu Wanwan anxiously asked the villagers to inform her family.
When she came to the clinic in the village, Su Xiao'e's legs and feet were already swollen, and the place where she was bitten was faintly purple.
The village doctor looked at Su Xiao'e's wound and shook his head helplessly:
"This is the time when there are a lot of snakes, why are you not careful, do you see what kind of snake bites?"
Su Xiao'e described the appearance of the snake that bit herself.
The village doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Fortunately, it's a vegetable green snake, if this is a poisonous snake, it will be dangerous."
The village doctor said as he treated Su Xiao'e's wounds.
"Xiao'e, how are you? Is there something wrong? ”
In the distance, Su Xiao'e heard her mother-in-law's voice coming.
With her footsteps, there were also father-in-law and Xu Jianjian.
The three of them came to the clinic with a worried face, and when they saw that the village doctor was bandaging Su Xiao'e's wounds, they hurriedly asked:
"Doctor, how is my daughter-in-law? It won't be a big deal, right? ”
"Don't worry, it's a vegetable green snake, it's not poisonous."
Zhang Qinfen's heart that had just been hanging was put down, and then she asked with a worried face:
"Hey, even if it's not poisonous, but being bitten this time is still very painful, doctor, you light, don't hurt my daughter-in-law."
"Hey, doctor, you start lightly, you see that my daughter-in-law's legs and feet are swollen, and your hands are so heavy and painful."
"That's it, my daughter-in-law is a delicate little daughter-in-law, don't hurt my daughter-in-law."
The village doctor endured the irritability and bandaged Su Xiao'e, and listened to the complaints of Zhang Qinfen and Xu Shaohua in his ears.
"If you're not at ease, come yourself."
After listening to the words of the village doctor, Zhang Qinfen and her father-in-law Xu Shaohua stopped a little, but even so, their brows were still tightly wrinkled together.
When she heard Su Xiao'e snorting in pain, her face was full of distress.
Fortunately, the doctor still bandaged the wound.
And Xu Jianshe stood by quietly watching the doctor's bandage, and occasionally frowned slightly when he heard a painful snort.
When it was time to go back, Su Xiao'e wanted to walk back by herself, but was stopped by her mother-in-law.
"You legs, how do you walk back, let the construction carry you."
Su Xiao'e looked at Xu Jianjian's legs, and felt that she still felt a little guilty for letting a person with unsound legs and feet carry herself.
"Mom, don't worry, I can go, I just walked over."
"You Nizi, your legs are like this, and you, Wanwan, your sister-in-law's leg was bitten by a snake, don't you know to come back and call someone? actually let your sister-in-law go all the way. ”
Su Xiao'e heard her mother-in-law cursing her sister-in-law, and hurriedly explained:
"Mom, I insisted on coming here, I'm afraid I'll meet a snake again when I stay there."
