Xie Chuntao wiped her eyes and calmed down her emotions. Just as she was about to push the fence door open, she was startled by a "crunch" coming from behind.
Turning around, I saw a savage-like man in black, limping and clinging to the precarious fence, gasping for air.
This man's black clothes were in tatters and covered with weeds. There was a big hole in his shirt, which barely covered his arms, and his left leg's trousers were torn off, exposing half of his leg. It was wrapped in layers of black cloth strips, as if he had been injured.
He had a dark face and a beard, and his beard and hair were covered with weeds.
The whole person was in a miserable state.
I guess he is a foreigner.
"Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?" Xie Chuntao is simple and kind. Even a stranger passing by is willing to help. What's more, he is injured, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't help.
"Sister, I'm not that old, I'm not the eldest brother." Xie Xiaolian felt quite hurt. He was in his prime and not yet married, so he felt quite uncomfortable being called eldest brother by a married village woman.
The married village woman in front of him looked older than the village woman who bandaged his wounds under the moonlight that day. There was nothing wrong with him calling her eldest sister.
When he spoke, there was an air of youthfulness that was inconsistent with his mature appearance.
Xie Chuntao thought to herself, let's pull her down. Her whole body was rolled like this, she was still injured, and her face looked like it had gone through many changes, but she couldn't tell her age. What kind of title did she care about? It was good that she didn't call her uncle.
"Sister, is this your home? Can you ask for a bowl of water?" Xie Xiaolian licked her chapped lips. The eldest sister in front of her looked kind and friendly. Just like the girl who saved him that day, she seemed to be a simple and good person at first glance.
"Why not? But your legs are hurt like this. I'm afraid you can't just drink water." Xie Chuntao stared at Xie Xiaolian's exposed leg with his eyes.
Xie Xiaolian blushed for a while, her bare legs had been looked at by two village women before they got married.
It's all the fault of Si Tianjian's gang of magicians. They have a family and a family, but they let him walk around alone as a miserable man.
It happened that Bai Dazhuang came back from the fields with a hoe and saw his wife talking to a stranger with a leg injury. He went to get to know her a little bit, dropped the hoe and took Xie Xiaolian home without any explanation.
After Xie Xiaolian struggled and refused, Bai Dazhuang helped him sit on the big stone at the door.
"Brother, you're hurt like this, and you still act like a big girl. We are all serious people, and we won't do anything to you at home." Bai Dazhuang is a real person, and he speaks straightforwardly.
Xie Xiaolian: "..."
Xie Chuntao brought a bowl of sugar water and some steamed buns from the kitchen. After thinking about it, she kicked two goose eggs left over from the morning and handed them to Xie Xiaolian.
"I'll just drink a bowl of water." Xie Xiaolian picked up the water in front of him and drank it all in one breath. Are all the people in Shenshu Village so enthusiastic?
It seemed that the family was living a normal life, and he was very embarrassed to eat steamed buns and goose eggs.
"Brother, I wonder if you are married?" Bai Dazhuang asked suddenly and abruptly.
Xie Xiaolian shook his head: "No."
It’s just a bowl of water, but you have to find out about your marital status before giving it to you? Xie Xiaolian was confused.
"Then why are you trying to be so strong? It's easy to say that you're going to get married, but you're not getting married now. Your leg is hurt quite badly. You can't drink a bowl of water. If you don't heal well and become lame, it shouldn't affect your search for a wife."
Bai Dazhuang had a serious look on his face and handed the big goose egg to Xie Xiaolian's mouth.
Xie Chuntao nodded beside him: "That's right, you can eat these steamed buns and goose eggs. You are injured and hungry, so don't leave any sequelae."
Xie Xiaolian: "..."
Xie Xiaolian had Xia Qinghe stop the bleeding and bandage his wounds that day at Luanfengang. Xia Qinghe also left him a large bag of food and drink, and he slept there all night with the bright moon and breeze.
After dawn, I realized that I was fine, so I limped on and continued to look for auspicious signs in the mountains.
After two days of searching, my leg injury recurred, so I had to endure the pain and go down the mountain to Shenshu Village.
At first, he wanted to look for Wu Langzhong, whom Xia Qinghe said. Several children showed him the way, but they found that the door of Wu Langzhong's house was locked, so he had to leave. When he reached the door of Lao Bai's house, he couldn't walk anymore.
Xie Xiaolian drank Bai's steamed buns, goose eggs, and Bai's water. She felt alive all over her body. She sat on the big rock and thanked Bai Dazhuang and Xie Chuntao.
"Steamed buns and water are not worth much. Anyone can go out without any difficulty." Xie Chuntao said.
Bai Dazhuang nodded and pulled the other person enthusiastically. They introduced themselves to each other and learned their names.
"We are still from the same family, and my surname is Xie." After Xie Xiaolian said his name, Xie Chuntao looked surprised.
"That's really fate. I'd say the more I look at you, the kinder you become to me." Xie Xiaolian thanked Xie Chuntao again.
"The people in black are scum, the people in black are stubble."
Xiao Fuyuan saw the man in black who took her horse riding that day actually appeared at the door, and ran over excitedly.
She wanted to ride a horse again.
However, why is Sichuan so depressed?
Is it because the horse is not around?
"Hey, Xiao Yuanbao, is this your home? What kind of fate do you think this is? It's such a coincidence." Xie Xiaolian was very surprised when she saw Xiao Fuyuan's cute little face.
What, this person in front of me is the person who rode a horse to the village to buy a homestead some time ago?
The village chief was still talking about it some time ago, saying that the black-faced young man who came to buy a homestead was not satisfied after searching for several pieces of land. He asked many random questions about the village, and then disappeared in a flash that day. I don’t know if he was a liar. .
They also beat gongs and drums to warn the villagers to watch their children carefully, and don't let the foreign photographers come to the village to abduct their children.
Recently, many villages in Nanguan Town have lost children.
Bai Dazhuang remembered the village chief's warning and pulled his sister away from Xie Xiaolian and held her in his arms.
"Brother, Shu is a good person." Xiao Fuyuan said while lying in Bai Dazhuang's arms.
Bai Dazhuang hugs his sister, not even a good person, his sister is not someone who wants to hug her.
He couldn't stand it when his sister seemed so warm to outsiders, but he was his sister's big brother.
Xie Xiaolian felt that the big brother in front of him, who was extremely enthusiastic at the beginning, suddenly had a cold attitude.
"Little brother, I see that the cloth wrapped around the wound on your leg is dirty. I will put it on a new one for you."
Xie Chuntao saw that the bandage on Xie Xiaolian's leg was wrapped stiffly around her leg. It must be bloody, but the blood could not be seen through the black cloth.
Since they are both from the same family, Xie Chuntao consciously took on the role of sister and immediately called her brother.
She also has two younger brothers in her family, and the eldest sister plays the role with ease.
Xie Xiaolian shook his head and refused. In front of him stood Xie Chuntao's man Bai Dazhuang.
But Xie Xiaolian may not know that people in Shenshu Village are not bound by the restriction of male and female relationships. When Xie Chuntao offered to re-bandage his wounds, Bai Dazhuang felt that his wife had done the right thing.
Help someone? Whatever I can do to help, I will try my best to help.
It's not like removing his legs and replacing them with straps, it's a piece of cake.
Xie Chuntao didn't care what Xie Xiaolian thought. He brought a basin of hot water and put a piece of cloth on his arm. Bai Dazhuang helped hold Xie Xiaolian's legs to untie him.
While Xie Xiaolian was struggling, Old Mrs. Bai heard the tearing noise at the door from the woodshed and came out.
The person in front of me was the man in black who was riding a horse with the little round treasure that day.
He was startled for a moment.
"Hello, old man." While Xie Xiaolian was struggling, he didn't forget to say hello. He knew Xiao Yuanbao's grandma.
Xie Chuntao finally tore off Xie Xiaolian's straps and saw a big gash on her leg. The skin and flesh were turned over and bleeding. She screamed in fright.
"Your leg injury is a bit serious. You have to see Dr. Wu." Old Mrs. Bai leaned over and took a look. The wound was so deep that if she didn't go to Dr. Wu, she might get tetanus and die.
"Dazhuang, go to Wu Langzhong's house." Mrs. Bai ordered Bai Dazhuang.
"Wu Langzhong was not at home. Tieniu's wife in the west of the village gave birth to a baby and invited him away." Xie Chuntao knew the situation of each family in the village very well.
"It's time for the baby to be born this morning. I'll go to Tieniu's house to ask for her. Don't let anyone kidnap her along the way."
There is only one doctor in all the villages, and Wu doctor is very popular.
Bai Dazhuang agreed and went to Tieniu's house to invite people.
It was too late for Xie Xiaolian to stop him. A country doctor was both a midwife and a leg doctor, so his job was too complex and unreliable.
He had better go to the town. The little master is here now. He has the best doctor in the world.
