By the time the siblings arrived home, Xiao Haitang had already cooked a pot of yam porridge. Seeing Xie Yushu and Xie Tianqi coming back, she raised her voice:
"Second aunt! I cooked yam porridge!
Uncle Tianqi! You are here too! "
"Yes! Yo! Whose little girl is this? She's so beautiful!
"Tianqi is here! Sit down quickly, it's time to eat!"
Xiao Yi greeted Xie Tianqi when he saw him coming.
Haitang didn't know that Xie Tianqi was coming, so she cooked a little less porridge. The little girl hurriedly packed a plate of mutton jerky and brought it up!
Xie Tianqi then thought that she would have to eat at her sister's house for two days if she came here on impulse, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed!
Xie Yushu saw her thoughts and said
"We have brought back a lot of things and there are only a few people at home. We are not short of food right now. Don't worry about eating. We will come back with food in a few days. We will not miss these few meals for you!"
Xiao Yi also said
"Your sister is right! Don't be polite. There is still a lot of food at home! Open up and eat!"
Xie Tianqi felt relieved after hearing this and sat down to eat together.
Xie Tianqi has a fiery temper, and he does whatever he wants to do right away. He just finished eating and asked Xie Yushu to teach him kung fu.
Xie Tianqi is thirteen years old, and to be honest, it is a bit late for him to learn martial arts. Fortunately, he has good bones. Xie Yushu picked up the most effective moves in close combat and taught him how to effectively block, quickly raise the elbow, bend down and smash, etc. There are more than ten quick enemy-defeating moves such as pulling the neck and pushing the knee, side kicking, grabbing hands, hugging the waist and throwing back. Xie Tianqi's eyes gleamed when he saw it, and he immediately started practicing in the courtyard!
"Second aunt, I want to learn too!"
"Mom, I want to learn too!"
The two children were clamoring to learn from each other when they saw each other. It was rare that Xiao Yi didn't stop him and even said:
"You have to study hard, throw and beat yourself, and don't cry if it hurts!
Although these tricks of yours look simple, they are very practical for fighting enemies up close! I learned it, no one from ten miles and eight villages dares to bully you! "
"Really? Brother-in-law!"
"Um!"
"Let's study hard!"
Xie Yushu said proudly
"You have a good vision!"
"Brother-in-law, I heard that you are also very good at Kung Fu! You can teach me two moves sometime!"
"Okay! You should practice the basic skills first!
But I can’t use one of my legs, so I can only talk about the moves. I can’t guarantee what I can teach you! After all, real teaching requires demonstration and sparring! "
"You can teach me anything, but you will definitely be better than me now! Besides, my sister said that your leg injury can still be cured. If not, it will be cured!"
"Can, can it be cured? Your sister is talking nonsense!"
Xiao Yi didn't believe it. He searched famous doctors for hundreds of miles, even the retired imperial doctor who was known as the master of orthopedics. They all said that the injury was a tendon and there was no way to cure it.
Xie Yushu taught the three people step by step twice more and let them practice on their own, and then called Xiao Yi into the room.
Xiao Yi was a little nervous and a little expecting! God knows how much he wants to go back to normal!
"You think my leg injury can still be cured? Have you seen this kind of injury with your grandfather?"
"I called you here just to tell you this. I need to see where your leg is injured first!"
Xiao Yi lifted up his trousers, and Xie Yushu took a closer look at the injury. The ankle was about ten centimeters long, and the scar was as thick as a chopstick. Judging from the seriousness of the scar, it must have been a broken tendon. No wonder the foot had no strength at all. Can't do it!
Inspection required, Xie Yushu raised her head and said
"You have broken your hamstring. I have a way to reattach it. But the current difficulty is that I don't have the surgical tools at hand. However, this is easy to solve. I will go to the city to do a surgery this time. Two! The probability of it getting better is only 50%! It depends on whether you are willing to take a gamble!"
"What will happen to me if I'm not cured?"
"If you still do this, you are suffering for nothing! After all, the surgery is still very painful! There are also certain risks!"
"Then I'm willing to give it a try!" Xiao Yi said eagerly
"Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you?"
"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Yi paused for a moment and then said
"Of course I believe you. Although you haven't been married for a long time, you do everything to take care of us! I know you are a good person, and I am not afraid that you will cheat me, but Jin Yu is in a special situation. , even if I die, I can't let him make a mistake! But, I can't tell you in detail now!
But I really am not guarding you! I'm just used to watching him more closely! You, don't be angry! "
It's rare for this saw-mouthed gourd to say so much at once!
Seeing his nervous look, Xie Yushu said funnyly
"I understand, you don't have to be so nervous, I have nothing to be angry about!
rest assured! I will do my best to take care of my two children in life, but I also hope that you will not interfere too much when I do things! Of course, even if you want to interfere, I won't listen!
I hope we can have a happy cooperation for the time being!
As for what happens in the future, let’s take it one step at a time! "
"Okay, thank you, thank you!"
Xie Tianqi and the two little ones practiced the moves with great interest for another day. Xiao Yi was watching and giving instructions. Seeing that Xie Tianqi learned quickly, Xiao Yi found another woodcutter for Xie Tianqi. I temporarily taught him a few sword skills!
Xie Yushu also packed the things she needed to take when going out.
You must bring your dagger, keep all the furs for your own use, and keep the honey for yourself! The dendrobium officinale is carried with it, the ginseng is carried with it, the snake gallbladder is carried with it, and the snake venom is left behind by itself! I plan to make some pills in the future!
I also packed some dried pork, a few yam sections, filled two gourds with cold water, and some medicine for wounds. It is inevitable to have bumps and bruises when you are out, not to mention it is still a famine year!
In the evening, Xiao Yi sent another package, which contained twenty carts of silver and an iron lump the size of a goose egg!
"This is a piece of iron left over from making short knives and spears. It's a little small, but you can take it and see if you can make the scalpel you mentioned. And this silver, bring some with you. I don't know. Can those medicinal materials be sold for money? In short, if you are poor and want to get rich, take them with you!
Also, there is a blacksmith shop called Li Daniu on Jinyang City West Street. He and I are old acquaintances. He has excellent craftsmanship, but he has a bad temper, so he doesn't seem to be very popular! He can definitely get what you want! "
Xie Yujiao was not polite and immediately put away the money and weighed the iron lumps.
"Yes, that's good! I understand. Surgical equipment does not use many materials. With this, I can make a set of high-quality surgical equipment! Thank you!"
At dawn the next day, Xie Yushu got up, made a simple breakfast, and after eating, she and Xie Tianqi went to Liujiacun to gather.
The things Xie Yushu carried were not heavy, so she just put them in a backpack and carried them on her own!
Xie Tianqi carried dry food and water on his back and went straight to the entrance of Liujia Village with the woodcutter that Xiao Yi found for him.
Xie Yushu walked for a while, turned around and saw Xiao Yi still at the door, waved to him and left.
A lot of people had gathered at the entrance of Liujia Village, and people were coming one after another. By the beginning of Mao Shi, a total of eighty-seven people had gathered! In addition to Xie Yujiao, there are four other women in their thirties, including the Li family, and two others, one is the Ma family and the other is the Zhang family. They are both widows, and there are also elders and younger ones. It all comes down to fate. bitter!
It was Xiao Dayong and his wife who went to the Xiao family. They were afraid of danger on the road, so they reluctantly let their two sons go out for adventure!
When everyone arrived, the group set off excitedly and apprehensively!
