The next day, after breakfast, Shen Lang took two egg pancakes and went to look for the bandits' den.
Niu Tangtang finished cleaning the kitchen and came to the room to change the dressings for the boy and Xia Houyu.
"He slept very well last night. There was no movement all night." Xia Houyu sat on the bedside and obediently asked Niu Tangtang to change her dressing. "He didn't speak. It's probably because his throat was damaged and he couldn't speak for the time being."
"That's it."
Niu Tangtang nodded and looked at the boy who was lying motionless with his eyes closed: "I misunderstood you. I'll show you your throat later. Your throat is much more important than your face."
Hearing this sentence, Xia Houyu thought of Niu Tangtang's smile at him yesterday. After thinking about it, he finally asked: "Miss Niu, do you pay much attention to other people's appearance?"
"Not entirely, but seeing good-looking people talking to me and smiling at me every day can at least make me feel happy and motivated to work." Niu Tangtang chuckled and saw a twinkle in Xia Houyu's eyes. She was feeling lonely, so she hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, my appearance is given by my parents. Look at me, I'm chubby, and my face was covered with rashes before. We just need to feel beautiful."
Xiahou Yu was silent.
She seems to have misunderstood.
Forget it, when the swelling on her face fades, she will know what she looks like.
"alright."
Niu Tangtang put the gauze on Xia Houyu and walked towards the boy: "Kid, I'm going to check your throat now. You have to cooperate. Don't roll your eyes at me or attack me sneakily."
The young man did not move, as if he was letting Niu Tangtang slaughter him.
"Yes, he is a good baby."
After Niu Tangtang disinfected his hands, he first touched the boy's neck and Adam's apple, then opened his mouth to check the condition of his throat.
The tonsils on both sides were so swollen that they almost blocked his throat.
Breathing was a problem, and the young man remained silent.
Niu Tangtang told Xia Houyu the results of his observations, and he was shocked: "In other words, if his throat is blocked by some tonsils, he will suffocate to death?"
"Yeah, I really don't know if this kid is stupid or smart?"
Niu Tangtang shook his head and said to the young man with his eyes closed: "You are lucky to meet a kind-hearted fat girl like me. I will first apply medicine to your wound, then give you an anti-inflammatory injection, and then use the spray. It should be tomorrow At this time, you can speak."
Xia Houyu saw the medicine that Niu Tangtang took out when she was changing it for him, and he didn't even see much of it.
But the effect was immediate. He was originally curious, but now he saw that she had taken out the healing medicine without any reservation in order to save people.
The curiosity in my heart disappeared immediately.
No matter how strange the medicine is, as long as it can save people's lives, it will be fine.
"I didn't expect that the cowgirl's medical skills are so good."
"Don't praise me, otherwise I will be proud." Niu Tangtang now thinks that this is just a superficial medical skill. It was all forced by her senior brother to learn it at that time. He said that in the future, all his companions will die. , she herself was injured again, and if she knew some medical skills, she could treat herself.
Now it seems that senior brother really has a long-term vision.
After taking the anti-inflammatory injection and spraying the spray, Niu Tangtang clearly felt that the boy's breath had become longer.
"The most important thing for you now is to rest, close your eyes and sleep well."
Niu Tangtang covered the boy with a quilt and went out with Xia Houyu.
The young man opened his eyes and recalled what he had just heard over and over again in his mind.
The person who saved her didn't seem to care about who she was. She just treated herself as a child.
child?
The young man blinked, closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.
"Shen Lang is not here today. I will teach you some basics first to help your body recover."
Niu Tangtang stood in the courtyard and taught Xia Houyu how to box.
The three children who were in the house all ran out when they saw this scene.
Niu Yunyun is the most dependent on Niu Tangtang among the three children, almost treating her like a mother.
He hugged her thigh directly and smiled at her.
"You little guy, why did you run out? You're not afraid of freezing."
Niu Tangtang looked at the other two children, thought for a while and said, "Tai Chi is suitable for all ages. You should follow along to help you strengthen your body."
Yesterday, I heard about Niu Xingxing and Niu Haohao.
They were all extremely surprised that a peasant girl could actually do Tai Chi, which others could not do.
"Sister Tangtang, you are so awesome." Niu Haohao was used to the role of a flatterer.
"Remember, heroes don't ask where they come from. Don't think that I'm a little girl from the village who only knows how to cook and wash clothes. Everyone in the world has their own shining point." Niu Tangtang didn't want to educate his three children, but he just wanted to pretend Just for a moment, so that they don’t ask questions.
But she never expected that Niu Xingxing and Niu Haohao were shocked because no one had ever said such a thing to them.
And Xia Houyu was even more surprised.
In this case, even people who have read the book may not be able to tell it.
Sure enough, the cow girl is not a person to be taken lightly. I was originally wary of her, but now, it's all gone.
"I understand, Sister Tangtang."
Looking at the two children who did not contradict him for the first time, Niu Tangtang chuckled: "Okay, everyone, stand still. Let's learn the introduction of Tai Chi today..."
It's getting dark.
Shen Lang is back.
"Shen Lang, come and drink water."
Niu Tangtang handed him the warm water he had prepared and waited for him to drink it before asking, "How are you, have you found the bandit's den?"
"There really is one."
Shen Lang wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "In the deep mountains behind, the mountain road is very steep. It took a lot of effort for me to go up. I checked and found that there is a stockade inside. The people patrolling at the door all carried half-meter-long ropes on their backs. I don’t know what day it is today, but they lit a bonfire in the yard at noon and roasted a sheep and a wild boar.”
Niu Tangtang only asked Shen Lang to look for a bandit den, but he went to look inside and immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Brother, you can do it."
Investigating the matter is originally one's own business.
If he couldn't even find a bandit's den, Shen Lang could just grab a piece of tofu and kill him.
"I estimated that there were about fifty people inside. There were a few women, but all of them had sad faces."
"Bandits are human beings too. If they weren't in this business, who wouldn't want to have their wives and children on the kang? It's a pity that the good girls kidnapped by them would be worse off than dead inside. But if they are rescued and returned home, they will be criticized by the villagers. It's better to live than to die." Niu Tangtang shook his head and sighed. Unfortunately, he was unable to save himself now and was unable to save the women who were living in dire straits.
"Girl Cow has such an understanding, which is already higher than ordinary people, but are you sure you want to do business with those bandits? They really don't look easy to deal with." Shen Lang was a little worried. If Miss Cow goes, she won't be able to come back. .
