Xiao Ming has not gone out to practice medicine these days. She mainly helps Xiao Han reclaim the wasteland in front of her door. She planned to use it to grow some herbs, and secretly moved a few small fruit seedlings out of the space to water the space.
Although he did not go out to practice medicine, after ringing the bell these days, several nearby villages knew that there was a little girl in Liujia Village who had medical skills. Not only did she charge cheap fees, but the results were good, and many villagers came to see her for treatment.
Xiao Han simply cleared an open space and moved the table out for Xiao Ming to use when practicing medicine.
"Girl Xiao, Mr. Ming, are you busy?" Aunt Song next door held a wooden crutch and walked slowly towards Xiao Ming with her eyes closed.
"Aunt Song, be careful." Xiao Ming dared to help her sit down. This Aunt Song had gray hair and a vicissitudes of life. She lived alone and lived a very miserable life. She was only in her forties, but she looked as old as if she were fifty. My eyes were hurt from crying due to the deaths of my husband and son one after another. Over the years, my eyesight has become increasingly blurry.
"The weather is nice today. Let's go out for a walk. Ever since I took the medicine you gave me, I can see people clearly." Aunt Song looked at the blurry figure in front of her and said. She was very grateful to Xiao Ming's family for taking Xiao Ming's medicine. Finally, the eyes can see clearly and it is very comfortable.
"As long as it works, I'll mix some more. If you keep using it, it will be fine." Xiao Ming said. The medicine was prepared by her using space water. It must be used internally and externally at the same time. It must be useful.
"I'll bring you some vegetable seeds." Aunt Song took out some seeds from the cloth bag that she saved last year. Since her family had no land, she grew vegetables and sold them to make a living. She treated these two half-day children as her own biological children. Since the death of Xiao Dalang and his wife, she used her savings over the years to help them.
Xiao Ming and his wife were very respectful to Aunt Song, and the three of them talked cordially for a while. From a distance, I saw Xiao Yu running over panting.
"Aunt, Xiao An was beaten and his forehead is bleeding." Xiao Yu was out of breath and sweating profusely while running.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao An's father, A Niu, ran over. He arrived before anyone else arrived, and said anxiously: "Girl Xiao, go and see Xiao An quickly. His forehead is bleeding."
Xiao Ming didn't say much, packed up the medicine box and set off on her back.
"Sister, I'll carry it." Xiao Han took the medicine box over, put it on his shoulders, picked up Xiao Yu and said to Aunt Song, "Aunt Song, let's take a look."
On the road, I listened to Xiao Yu's intermittent words and learned about the situation. It turned out that Xiao Yu and Xiao An were playing by the river. Liu Baogen came and wanted to join in. He was always a strong-tempered person and often bullied other children. The village Not many children here like him, and no one wants to play with him.
Liu Baogen was filled with hatred. He picked up a stone and threw it at a group of children. It hit Xiao Anzi, and blood suddenly flowed out like a column, and his face was covered in blood. Children who had never seen such a fight before, some timid ones were so frightened that they cried and looked for their parents one after another. Liu Baogen even went home and hid.
When we arrived at the village chief's house, we heard Xiao An's heart-wrenching cries before entering the door. Xiao An, her mother and grandmother burst into tears.
Xiao An is the youngest child in the village chief's family. He is usually doted on by everyone and is reluctant to lift a finger. He never expected to be beaten like this.
People who were usually close to the village chief's family came to offer comfort. The village chief, Liu Jisheng, squatted on the threshold and smoked a big cigarette, his face full of sorrow.
"Mom, daughter-in-law, Xiao girl is here, let her have a look." Da Niu crawled away from the two of them, making way for Xiao Ming.
"Little girl Xiao, save Xiao An, what will happen if there are scars in the future." Xiao An's mother cried and begged. Xiao An was only six or seven years old, and the wound was in the middle of his forehead. The scar would affect his whole life.
Xiao Ming quickly disinfected Xiao An to stop the bleeding, applied medicine, wrapped his forehead with a cloth, and ordered: "Don't get water on the wound these days. Wait five days to change the dressing. He bleeds too much. Give him more." Eat some peanuts, red dates and the like to replenish your blood."
"Will that leave scars?" Xiao An's mother is most concerned about this matter.
"No, it will disappear gradually in the future." It is difficult to leave scars with the medicine added with space water.
After this incident, Mrs. Liu's family completely offended the village chief's family. Normally, Grandma Xiao An couldn't stand Mrs. Liu's behavior. No one in the family wanted to interact with her family except in the village.
"Damn old man, look at how your good cousin behaves. Your grandson has caused such a big trouble, but she is nowhere to be seen, and she doesn't even come to see if I, Xiao An, am alive or dead. She only knows how to pinch her on weekdays. He is so strong and takes advantage." Grandma Xiao An was also very angry and started scolding her in front of everyone.
"Baogen didn't mean it, don't say that," the village chief replied weakly. He knew that his cousin was not good, but it was a pity that he was the only one left in his generation. He was also angry about this, okay? He was yelling at him in front of so many people, whether he was wronged or not.
"What's not intentional? With so many people standing together, he dared to throw stones. What a bad boy! He has such evil intentions at such a young age," Grandma Xiao An said and cried. Thinking about the big hole in her little grandson's forehead makes her heart palpitate.
"Okay, okay, you take care of me, I'll go take a look." The village chief was speechless and had to run away.
