He'er's eyebrows were tightly closed, and there was still a piece of tongue left outside.
It looked so scary, like it was dead.
No wonder people say that people hanging by their necks are frightened when they die, but isn't that right? The look of He'er... Even Kang Xiaozi and Liu Jinchuan were so frightened that their hands and feet were shaking and their accents were distorted.
"Pinch her in the middle of the crowd, quickly!" Yang Ruoqing put away the lancet and warned from behind.
Kang Xiaozi came to his senses and quickly stretched out his hand to pinch He'er's vagina.
"Sister Qing'er, no, no response?" Kang Xiaozi's voice trembled to the point of crying.
"You have to use your strength!" Yang Ruoqing said again.
This time, Kang Xiaozi used all his strength and pinched it hard.
This pinch hurt He'er, but it also woke him up.
When they saw her opening her eyes, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The tongue-like thing that was dragged out of the mouth before has also retracted now.
Everyone's attention was focused on the fact that He'er came back from the ghost gate. The room was crying and laughing, and he was reborn after the disaster.
Ms. Liu even cried loudly, "He'er, why are you so stupid?"
"My mother and I have a little quarrel, and you wipe your neck. If you really die, how will your mother get better? How can you live with your mother?"
"You are such a cruel girl. My mother was pregnant for ten months and she narrowly escaped death and gave birth to you. Why are you so cruel!"
However, He'er, who had saved her life, looked at the people in front of her with a blank expression, as if she was not involved, as if the person who hanged herself earlier was not her.
"Sister, why are you like this? Are you scared?"
"80% yes, as long as everything is fine, boy Kang, you should stay here and look after your eldest sister. We will go to the Taoist temple to report the news to your father!"
"Jinchuan, don't clean up the house. You're not in good health. Go back to the house and lie down quickly. Don't cause trouble again."
"And Mother He'er, please stop yelling like this. It sounds annoying. You can go to the kitchen to cook..."
"The rice I cooked doesn't taste good, they don't like it..." Ms. Liu said in a soothing tone.
"Then go get the broom and tidy up this room and see what it looks like!"
"Oh!" Mrs. Liu gasped and left the room to get a broom.
When Mr. Liu left, the people in the back room told Mr. Kang: "Next, you will keep an eye on your eldest sister and don't go anywhere."
Kang Xiaozi nodded.
Only then did everyone leave the fourth room.
Yang Ruoqing and Cao Bamei walked out of the fourth-room courtyard together. Cao Bamei said to Yang Ruoqing in a low voice: "This fourth aunt is really making the house restless. I'm afraid my fourth uncle will be scolded when he comes back later."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Fourth Aunt deserves to be scolded. She almost lost her little bit of hair today."
It's a brand new house. If He'er died here, it would be conceivable that it would become a haunted house.
Cao Bamei could only shake her head at this. When she thought of something, she lowered her voice and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Was it my eyesight before? Why did I see a tongue sticking out of He'er's mouth?"
Yang Ruoqing squinted her eyes, "You're not dazzled, I saw it too."
Not long, just a little bit shorter than what a normal person would hang around their neck and spit out.
However, He'er also vomited it out...
"Didn't He'er have his tongue cut out and be unable to speak? How can he still spit out that thing?" Cao Bamei asked again.
This question... to be honest, Yang Ruoqing was stunned.
According to general rules, the tongue of a normal adult can reach five to six centimeters.
As for the length of He'er's tongue, it was conservatively estimated to be three centimeters.
As for He'er's tongue, as everyone thought before, it was cut off at the root, so she couldn't make a sound.
In fact, Ho'er can make sounds, which are caused by vibrations on the vocal cords.
But the sound is abstract and fuzzy, and different shapes of sounds need to be adjusted by changing the shape of the tongue.
That's why it is said that a normal person's vocalization requires the cooperation of the vocal cords, throat and tongue.
He'er's tongue was gone, so she could only babble, but couldn't make any specific sounds to express what she meant.
But today, when she saw He'er's tongue hanging out by three centimeters, Yang Ruoqing realized that the other person's tongue was not really cut off at the root, but was injured.
Logically speaking, He'er should still be able to say some words. Even if the pronunciation is not standard, "sleep" will definitely not be said as "eat", and it will not affect daily life to any extent.
Then why did Heer refuse to speak?
The oncoming person broke the doubts that had just arisen in Yang Ruoqing's mind.
I saw Xiuxiu coming here with Yongxiao in her arms. It looked like she hadn't come here before. It was probably because Yongxiao was sleeping or doing other things, so she was delayed.
"Mom, aunt, how is my Aunt He'er?" The anxious words came over before the embroiderer arrived.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "It's okay, no danger."
Xiu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go into the fourth room to check on He'er, but was stopped by Cao Bamei.
"You can't go!" Cao Bamei's face changed.
"Why?" Xiu Xiu was puzzled.
Cao Bamei said: "The house where the man just hanged himself is so unlucky that you can't go there, and Yongxiao can't go there either!"
Xiu Xiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Mom, you are exaggerating. Didn't my Aunt Heer come back to life?"
Cao Bamei had already snatched Yongxiao and held her tightly in her arms. She was holding Xiuxiu with her other hand, trying to prevent Xiuxiu from entering the courtyard of the fourth house.
It's best not to get too close to things like this, as maybe some bad things will still stay in the house.
It would be bad if you are unlucky, have a low aura, or are frail women or young children with closed eyes, and are stared at by those evil things...
However, the young and energetic Xiu Xiu didn't believe this.
"Mom, you're going too far. I don't believe that. I'm worried about my Aunt He'er. I have to take a look..."
While the two were chatting, Blacksmith Luo and Li Laosan also came out.
"How come you two are so involved?" Blacksmith Luo frowned when he saw it.
When He'er made such a fuss before, it was because she had some trouble with Mrs. Liu.
Now, Blacksmith Luo felt a shadow when he saw mother and daughter pulling each other.
Cao Bamei said: "Uncle Luo, this girl Xiuxiu is disobedient and has to go into that house!"
Tiejiang Luo was a veteran and knew all the taboos. He immediately understood another layer of meaning in Cao Bamei's words.
Blacksmith Luo said to Xiu Xiu, "Listen to your mother's words and go back. Your Aunt He'er is also tired from all the hard work and is taking a rest!"
Resting?
It was true that she couldn't disturb her, so Xiuxiu also stopped struggling and said to Cao Bamei, "Mom, you didn't tell me earlier that my Aunt He'er had rested. Otherwise, I couldn't disturb her."
"Haha, I forgot, shall we go back?"
"Well, go back and I'll come over to visit her later."
Just like that, Cao Bamei took Xiuxiu and Yongxiao back to the yard.
Blacksmith Luo also patted Li Laosan on the shoulder: "Let's go, we'll go back too. Go back and have tea."
