Chapter 23: Disclosure
The stinging pain of the drug touching the wound made Xia Huai retract his leg suddenly, and Xia Huai asked a little nervously, "Is it too painful?" "Along the way, Xia Huai knows a little about this brother, and he is a very good person, especially to his family.
Xia Huai's purpose is very simple, whoever is good to her, she is doubly good to the other party. So after Xia Qi was injured, she deliberately ran back and forth twice, first taking her luggage and her son to find a cave where she could rest, and then helping Xia Qi back.
"It's okay..."Xia Qi stretched his leg over again with some embarrassment: "Ahem, why do you still have wound medicine?" ”
In fact, when Xia Huai gave the woman's son medicine before, he wanted to ask, but he didn't find the opportunity.
Xia Huai had considered this question before, so the reason was also prepared early: "Ah, because Brother Rui'er and his father... Later, his father was not, well, my mother and I were away from home, and everything needed to be prepared. ”
As soon as these words were said, Xia Qi immediately became annoyed, why did he owe it so much! Knowing that her brother-in-law is gone, she still uncovers her wounds in front of her sister, which is really deserved!
As if seeing his brother's chagrin, Xia Huai couldn't help but smile: "I'm fine... By the way, I'll have to go out to see if my father and mother have come down, and if they jump down and can't find us, I'm probably going to be in a hurry. ”
Xia Qi also knew that it was a burden for his legs and heels to go out, so he simply nodded and advised: "You go out and pay attention, Brother Rui, I'm looking at it, don't worry!" ”
Before leaving the cave, Xia Huai deliberately found a rag to wrap his head and face, and when he walked to a corner where no one was around, he pulled out a backpack from the space and carried it behind him.
This basket was not exchanged, but taken from the general store of the small estate.
Grandma hated work before her death, and made a lot of practical tools such as bamboo baskets, baskets, and baskets in her spare time, but now she is cheaper.
Thinking of her grandmother, Xia Huai was a little lost again, she picked up a long stick from the ground, and stopped all the way, not only digging up some common wild vegetables, but also picking up a lot of firewood.
However, when she walked around and returned to the place where she had landed, she found that there was no one.
Not only was there no one, not even luggage.
Xia Huai guessed that her father and mother must have gone to look for her, or they were just looking for a place to hide like her. Anyway, it is impossible to be arrested, Xia Huai firmly believes.
But when he saw a patch of scarlet in his afterglow, Xia Huai's heart twitched uncontrollably.
For a moment, she thought a lot. Someone was injured, and not lightly. But who? Her father? What the? Or Uncle Tie Niu's family?
No matter who it was, Xia Huai's mood was affected.
Frustrated, he returned the same way, but when he walked to the cave, he heard a chaotic sound.
Xia Huai was worried that he would be found by the bad guys, so he hurriedly ran in to take a look, but he was stunned at this look.
"Xiaohuai!" Zhou Huiniang ran up to hug her daughter in surprise and greeted her: "I'm relieved to see that you're good, God knows how scared I am if I jump down with your father and can't find you..."
Xia Dashan nodded on the side, and suddenly remembered something halfway through: "By the way, do you still have medicine?" I heard Xiao Ji say that his wound was given by you? ”
"Yes, I still have... How is Uncle Iron Bull? ”
Liu Qingyun wiped his tears and stepped forward: "I haven't woken up, my body is full of blood, we are not doctors, we don't understand this, anyway, I don't have much anger, and I don't look good..."
Wang Shuyu frowned and squatted beside Wang Tieniu, obviously she was too worried about her father to comfort her mother.
"I'll see..."Xia Huai stepped forward and carefully examined the bleeding site on Wang Tieniu's body, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the wound is not very big, it can be stopped with some medicine..."
Seeing that everyone was staring at her in surprise, Xia Huai took out the hemostatic medicine powder and sprinkled it on Wang Tieniu's wound, while explaining: "After I got married, I usually read some miscellaneous books in my spare time, and I have also read a little bit of medical books. ”
That's right, Xia Huai already knew braille because of her brother, and after getting married, Shen Jia and a lot of idle books in the study, but she had the impression that most of the original masters were talking books...
After listening to Xia Huai's explanation, everyone suddenly realized, Liu Qingyun was still a little happy: "Fortunately, I followed you, if it wasn't for you, we really didn't know what to do!" ”
Xia Huai smiled, got up and wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then he had time to remove the basket on his back.
"Xiaohuai, where did this basket come from?" Xia Dashan touched his hand with some curiosity: "Yo, it's strange and sturdy to the touch!" ”
Xia Qi was also curious, he remembered that his sister didn't bring anything when she went out, oh yes, I remembered it, I brought a piece of cloth, but this backpack was absolutely none!
Xia Huai said calmly: "I picked it up outside, it looks like it can still be used, and it is just right to be used to load firewood." ”
Although everyone wondered why they didn't meet on the road, they didn't think deeply, and when they saw that Wang Tieniu's wound was treated, they got busy.
Wang Shuyu and Zhou Huiniang each took out a clay pot from their luggage and prepared to cook soup.
The soup is made of dried vegetables and wild vegetables just picked by Xia Huai, a little salt, there is no fragrance, but it is stronger than not drinking, and finally it is dry food and soaked in soup to drink!
After eating and drinking, Xia Dashan suddenly sighed: "I don't know how my mother is doing now..."
Zhou Huiniang has experienced this experience, but she is not too worried, after all, her children are by her side, as for others, is it useful to worry? It's just to add to the annoyance!
Xia Qi thought about it, considered it and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry, grandmother will definitely be fine with the eldest brother." ”
Xia Dashan also knew that it would be useless to worry at this time, so he picked up Xia Huai's back basket, picked up the kitchen knife, and put down a sentence: "I'll go outside and take a look." ”
Seeing this, Xia Qi subconsciously stood up, but was pulled by Zhou Huiniang: "Okay, let your father be quiet, let's just stay in the cave and wait." ”
Xia Dashan walked all the way and was depressed all the way, he felt that life was really incomparably good sometimes, although their family was not very rich and expensive, but at least food and clothing were feasible. As a result, there was a natural disaster, and there was a riot in the city, and what was even worse was that the family was hunted down as an anti-citizen.
He raised his head and looked at the scorching sun, and sighed in his heart: the world is really impermanent.
Before he could finish his sigh, he suddenly heard a noise not far away. Xia Dashan hurriedly hid in the grass next to him and listened carefully.
"Unlucky, why are there so many weeds here!"
"Didn't that kid say that the group of people jumped to survive? It can be seen that they are not so easy to die, that is, they have only found a part of the food they have hidden..."
"There was clearly a pool of blood under the mountain, and they definitely didn't run far! It's definitely in the mountains..."
"It's light, this mountain is so big, how can you find it? Forget it, if you encounter snakes, insects and beasts from time to time, don't catch someone, and pay for it yourself! ”
"Okay, it's just a few small characters, anyway, the leader of the trouble has been found... If you're hungry, let's eat something first! ”
Through the grass, Xia Dashan saw them stop to rest, so he left carefully.
