Chapter 157: Saving People
Li's wishful thinking played loudly, and then he always took advantage of the time to go back to his parents' house, deliberately revealed the words she had thought of to the neighbors, people are not less busy, but the results are very little, most of the ordinary neighbors are just listening to it as a gossip, can you fully believe her set of rhetoric has to say something else, not to mention going out to help publicize it everywhere!
After waiting for a few days and not seeing any waves, the Li family could only find a few village women who were greedy for money and tongue-in-cheek, promised some benefits, and let them go around to publicize them.
But the Li family's silver is destined to be spent in vain, this thing is to blame, and it can only be blamed on the Wang family for doing too many immoral things before, most of the people in the village heard that she was beaten, and their first reaction was to applaud, and even said: "Retribution!" Then it is to start discussing, what did the Wang family do this time, so that he was beaten this time, and the discussion was enthusiastic, how can anyone remember who beat and who is related to whom.
Li Shigan waited for no results, the family was sick again, sorrowful, and lifeless all day long, so the sword went sideways, and there was the one who made trouble with the thin and long-faced woman in the paper money shop today.
But obviously, Li's plan once again fell short, not only did it not bring some respite to Uncle Chu's family, which was already in the center of the gossip, but also pushed the Wang family to the forefront again.
The entire Winter Clothes Festival is like this, spent in the constant struggle and depression of Uncle Chu's family.
On the other side, the business of the small two-person paper money shop is still in demand, but it is still closed after the Winter Clothes Festival, at this time Shen Luzhu's stomach is also like blowing up a balloon, day by day, plus the weather is getting colder and colder, the clothes are heavy, and people become more cumbersome when they move. Life is self-satisfied.
On this day, Shen Luzhu was bored in the house, and saw Aunt Qian next door taking Chu Ping's little couple into the house: "Aunt Tang is finally here today, I'm bored!" I thought you weren't coming today."
Chu Ping grinned with a smile: "It's not A-Niang yet, I thought about coming over with Shuang'er early in the morning, and A-Niang asked us to wait for her!"
Yuan Shuang, who was carrying the Qian family into the house, heard the words and said, "Obviously, it was Xianggong that you got up in bed in the morning, and A-Niang and I waited to dismantle and wash the quilt before delaying!"
Qian smiled and patted Chu Ping's arm, and said angrily, "That's it, you stinky boy still dare to rely on your aunt!" We haven't decided the outcome of the game yesterday, so how can we not come today! But I have something to tell you, auntie."
"What's the matter, auntie?"
"Isn't this a lot of big things in the family this year, first you split up, and then Chu Ping got married, and you were pregnant, I thought about whether to go to Qizen Temple in a few days, go to the incense and worship the Buddha or something, and we will have an auspicious year before the year." I don't know what Luzhu thinks?"
Shen Luzhu was naturally very interested when she heard this, after all, she had been staying in the Chu family's old mansion recently, and she hadn't even been out of the yard much, but her current situation really couldn't allow her to do whatever she wanted.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it: "I won't join in the fun, there will be a lot of people at the temple fair, and everyone will have to bother to take care of me at that time, so I'll wait at home, and then call me when my aunt wants to go in the future."
Qian nodded, as if he had expected Shen Luzhu to answer like this, so he said his plan: "It's not that it's bothersome, it's just that you have a big belly now, and it's too tiring to go up and down the mountain, not to mention that the weather is so cold, and it snowed a little before, so I'm afraid the stone steps up the mountain are very slippery!" I thought I would take Xiuxiu and Ah Li and ask for a peace charm for you to come back, and I did my best, and the Bodhisattva would not blame me!"
When Chu Xiuxiu heard that she was going to pray for her cousin-in-law, she was naturally very happy, and nodded her head on the side: "Aunt Tang, I'll go with you, save my sister-in-law and toss!"
"That's okay, these days, Xiuxiu only cares about accompanying me, and she hasn't gone out much, and Ah Li,
When he comes back from the academy today, I'll ask him, I'm going to trouble my aunt!"
"What's the trouble with this, both of them are very sensible!"
"I remember that November 24 every year is the last temple fair of the year in Qichan Temple, and there are less than ten days left, but Aunt Tang plans to go on that day?"
Shen Luzhu was thinking about the twenty-fourth, and it didn't seem that he had caught up with the Chuli Academy's mid-day break, if he wanted to go around, then he should find some reason to ask the gentleman of the school for leave.
But I saw Qian waving his hand and said, "You remember right, it is indeed the last temple fair of the year that will be held on the 24th, but I don't plan to go on that day, there are too many people on that day, and everything has to be queued for a while. We are mainly going to pray for blessings, and I plan to go in the next twenty, and the temple fair is approaching, and there are not many people."
"That's a good dare, it's just a matter of Ah Li's vacation in the future, if he wants to go, he doesn't have to ask Mr. for leave. Grandpa and Grandma Cousin are going to go together that day?"
"Don't go, your cousin is at home with the second elder, A-Niang originally wanted to go, but the sky has always been gloomy for the past two days, and her legs are uncomfortable again."
Shen Luzhu nodded, Grandma Cousin is an old man with cold legs, especially in winter, she has eaten a lot of decoction, but the effect is not too great: "Then let's invite Aunt Han to Auntie's house to cook, let's go over with the third uncle to accompany Grandpa and Grandma, Auntie walks slowly, don't rush back."
The two families planned well, but when it came to the twentieth day of the winter month, they couldn't go as promised.
Qian originally planned to leave early that day, and specially instructed Chu Xiuxiu and Chu Li to get up early and go next door for breakfast, but when the young lady and brother went out, an accident occurred.
When Xiuxiu and Chu Litian were still dark, they packed up, prepared to go out of their yard, went to the next door for breakfast, and then set off together.
But as soon as I pushed open the door of my yard and took two steps outside, I found that there was a woman curled up in the corner between my shop and the courtyard wall!
Chu Xiuxiu and Chu Li shouted to the courtyard, and with great difficulty, they helped people into the room in the West Chamber, which was specially used to entertain guests.
As soon as Shen Luzhu heard that his sister and brother had actually picked up someone outside, he hurriedly dressed himself with Chu Yi and rushed over, and the Qian family, who heard the movement in the courtyard next door, also appeared in the West Chamber with Yuan Shuang and Chu Ping.
Qian stepped forward to probe the man's snort, touched the temperature on his body again, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay, it should just faint, look at her clothes are quite thick, and the sleeves are also warm to the touch, there shouldn't be a big deal about the person!"
Chu Ping was instructed by the Qian family to run out to invite Lang Zhong in the village, and Shen Luzhu hurriedly went to find two quilts and a set of his own clothes with Chu Yi.
Just as he was about to hand it to Yuan Shuang and Qian, asking the two of them to help change the clothes that had been wet with frost on the man's body, he noticed that the temperature in the west chamber was a little low, and he remembered that there was no one here at night, and there was no fire all night.
"Chu Yi, let's light the fire, the kang is hot, how about warming her body and preparing hot soup?"
At this time, Uncle Chu, who had already heard the sound and rushed over, hurriedly stopped: "No, no, I heard the old man in the village say that this person who has fainted from the cold can't let her be too hot all of a sudden, and she has to warm up little by little, otherwise the cold will run into the internal organs, and even if the person is rescued, I am afraid that the injury will not be light!"
Qian slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, yes! I seem to have heard of it, it's like frozen meat, how can it be melted with hot water! The temperature in this room is still good, let's not make a fire yet, wait for Lang Zhong to come later, that is, we need to make a fire, and it will not be too late to regenerate at that time!"
Shen Luzhu really didn't know much about this matter, since Third Uncle Chu and the Qian family said this, there must be a certain amount of truth, so he drove the men in the family out, and together with the Qian family, they helped the woman who was still sleeping to change her clothes.
Soon Chu Ping pulled Lang Zhong into the door, and Lang Zhong put his hand on the woman's wrist with a serious face, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief for a long time, and the expression on his face eased a lot, and then checked the other situations before turning his head to talk to the Chu family.
"This
The woman was indeed stunned by frost, the cold entered the body, and the pulse was a little weak, but fortunately, the time of fainting should not be long, and it did not hurt the root. But at the moment, the room should not be too hot, it should be heated up little by little, when she starts to sweat, it is no big deal, when she wakes up, I will give her a decoction, and I will come up with a prescription."
"Then it's a problem for the doctor!"
The Chu family grabbed the medicine according to the prescription given by Na Langzhong, and boiled it directly in the stove room, and then did not wait for half an hour to an hour, so they went to test the woman's body temperature, and when they felt that it was warm, they added some coal to the stove, until they saw that her forehead began to sweat slightly, and everyone in the Chu family was a little relieved.
The woman was still a little confused when she first woke up, she was looking around, and suddenly heard that someone seemed to be walking in behind her, and as soon as she turned her head, she happened to see Yuanshuang and Chu Ping who pushed the door in, and the whole person was instantly alerted, and hurriedly supported her still weak body, while vigilantly staring at the movements of Yuanshuang and the two, while holding the quilt and moving slowly to the side of the kang, as if she was ready to grab the door at any time!
Yuan Shuang saw that the person had not only woken up, but also sat up with his body propped up at this moment, and couldn't help but be very surprised, and was about to run to call the others over, when he saw that the woman opened her mouth first: "Who are you? Why am I here?"
Yuan Shuang wanted to take two steps forward to explain to her, but as soon as she was about to make a move, she saw the man suddenly dodge to the side, as if he was very wary of himself, so he could only stand in place and say, "My name is Yuan Shuang, he is my father-in-law, we live next door, this is my cousin's cousin's house, you ......
Before Yuan Shuang finished speaking, Chu Ping noticed the woman's increasingly guarded eyes and movements, and hurriedly reached out and pulled his wife, who was still trying to show favor to the other party: "It was my cousin and cousin who picked you up, you wait, my family will come over."
After speaking, he pulled Yuan Shuang and walked out, and when the Chu family returned to the West Chamber again, they saw that the woman had fallen to the ground, with the clothes she had changed for her in the morning, and a package she had carried, and she was struggling to stand up by dragging the edge of the kang at this time.
Seeing this, Qian hurriedly took two steps forward, trying to help the person up: "How did this happen, why did you fall to the ground?"
Seeing that the woman hid backwards, looking like no one should enter, Qian remembered what his son and daughter-in-law said just now, and felt that this girl was afraid that she would not treat them all as bad people, so she stopped her movements and stopped moving forward: "Look at our family, if it's not a child, if it's not a pregnant woman, which one looks like a bad person, Lang Zhong said that you are too cold, and you sit on the ground like this again, I'm afraid it's even worse, I'll help you up first, if you still don't feel at ease, this blue sky and white day, you can just go, no one will stop you!"
