Zhao Shijian saw that his sister disliked Wen Yishu very much and found it a little funny. He quickly assured her: "Okay, okay, sister, if you don't like her, then I will definitely not let her rely on her. Don't worry."
Compared with an inexplicable female educated youth, the sister-in-law Zhao Shijian certainly cares more about his sister.
"Then let's talk about it, I don't want her to be my sister-in-law. Brother, you must keep your distance from her. Don't be fooled by her sweet words, and don't let her take the opportunity to rely on you." Zhao Shichu reminded worriedly he.
Zhao Shijian was naturally too busy to agree. Although he felt that his sister's worries were unfounded, there was nothing he could do to reassure her, so he agreed without hesitation. Now he was completely unaware of Wen Yishu's determination to win for him. .
After hearing his promise, Zhao Shichu felt a little more relieved and went back to the kitchen to deal with the chicken.
In the evening, the brother and sister had a delicious meal of pheasant stewed with mushrooms. Before dawn the next day, Zhao Shijian took another pheasant and other tradable items to the black market in the town, sold them, and returned them when he came back. Zhao Shichu brought a bag of peanut candy.
When Zhao Shichu saw the bag of peanut candies, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said to Zhao Shijian: "Brother, I'm no longer a child, why do you still buy me candies? I don't even like eating them, so don't spend these wasted money in the future. , why don’t we save the money to buy other daily necessities?”
Zhao Shijian thought that his sister was sensible and felt sorry for the family's money, so he quickly said: "Sister, it doesn't cost much to buy these candies. You are still young, how can you not like candies? Don't worry, our family is not short of money. .”
Zhao Shichu had no choice but to put away the bag of sugar and planned to melt it later to make stuffing for buns. Sugar buns were delicious anyway.
After that, Wen Yishu spared no effort to find opportunities to get close to Zhao Shijian, but the farm work at this time of the year was very heavy, everyone was very busy, and her time was so packed every day that she had no time to talk to Zhao Shijian. , so I had to give up temporarily.
Zhao Shichu only had to work for half a day every day. One was because the original owner was not in good health, and Zhao Shijian felt sorry for his sister and did not let her do too much work; the other was because the family had two pigs, and she had to go up the mountain to cut pig grass, otherwise The pigs have to starve and lose weight.
She carried a bamboo basket on her back and walked up the mountain with a sickle. She had been walking on this mountain road since she was a child. She could walk it with her eyes closed. After reaching the middle of the mountain, maybe she disturbed the wild animals on the mountain while walking, and suddenly there was a snake. He rushed out from the sloping ground and rushed towards her with his mouth wide open.
Zhao Shichu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took a few steps back. Then he swung out the sickle in his hand and hit the middle of the snake, so the snake was cut in half by her.
After the chop, the snake was still alive and stubbornly raised its upper body to bite Zhao Shichu. Zhao Shichu pressed the snake's head with a sickle, then stepped on its rear half and chopped off its head.
This was a turquoise snake with fine ridges all over its body. It was quite beautiful. Zhao Shichu recognized it easily. It was a green snake with green bamboo leaves, which was poisonous.
After the snake's head was cut off, the saliva remained poisonous for a long time. In order to avoid accidentally injuring others, Zhao Shichu dug a half-meter-deep pit on the side of the road and buried the snake's head.
After burying it, she looked at the two snake body parts on the ground, thought about it, picked them up and threw them into her basket.
She walked slowly up the mountain while cutting pigweed. By the time she had cut most of the basket, she was already a little far away from the road. Just as she was about to go back, she suddenly heard intermittent moaning sounds.
She listened for a while and determined that the sound was coming from a person, who might have encountered some kind of trouble, so she looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A few minutes later, on a small slope, she saw a scrawny old man lying on the grass, clutching his feet and groaning in pain. There were two cows grazing leisurely next to him.
Zhao Shichu recognized it. The old man lived in the cowshed and was sent down. Because he was old and frail and could not do much work, the production team made him responsible for herding cattle.
Zhao Shichu had an idea and remembered that in the memory of the original owner, a few months before Wen Yishu and Zhao Shijian got married, an old man living in a cowshed was bitten to death by a snake in the village. Later, the old man's grandson came to the village to pick him up. When he returned home, he only received his remains.
Could it be that the old man in front of me was the one who was bitten to death by the snake? Then this is too coincidental.
Zhao Shichu walked over, knelt down and asked the old man whose face was full of pain: "Have you been bitten by a snake?"
When the old man, Ye Song, saw the young girl appearing in front of him, his newly born hope was suddenly shattered. He replied with some despair: "He was bitten. The snake is poisonous."
"Let me take a look." Zhao Shichu said as he pulled away Ye Song's hand, which was shaped like a withered bamboo. Sure enough, he saw two small blood holes on his ankles, and the area around the blood holes had become swollen, purple and swollen. He looked like he was seriously poisoned at first glance.
Zhao Shichu quickly pretended to take out a bottle of medicinal powder from his backpack, then swept the sickle with fire and said to Ye Song: "Old man, please bear with me for a while. I will cut your wound, squeeze out the poisonous blood, and then apply it to you." medicine."
"Do you have an antidote?" Ye Song regained some hope and asked.
"My brother would prepare some medicine for me if he was afraid that I would be injured when I went up the mountain or encounter a poisonous snake." Zhao Shichu said without changing his expression.
"Then it's up to you." Ye Song was extremely grateful, "I can hold it back, you start." As he said that, he looked away, as if he was risking his life.
Zhao Shichu immediately stopped hesitating, and immediately separated Ye Song's wound with a sickle, and then squeezed the area around the wound hard, squeezing out a lot of black blood. During this period, Ye Song gritted his teeth and endured the pain, letting Zhao Shichu Let him handle it.
Zhao Shichu squeezed for a while, and when he saw that the blood that was squeezed out was no longer black but bright red, he stopped and sprinkled the medicine powder on it.
The medicine she used was specially designed to detoxify various poisons, including snake venom, so Ye Song's life was saved, but Ye Song didn't know it. When he saw Zhao Shichu treating his wounds, he felt lighter all over. I just thought it was because the poisonous blood was squeezed out, but I couldn't believe that the snake's venom was completely detoxified.
However, he was still very grateful to Zhao Shichu, so he said to her: "Little girl, thank you. If it weren't for me, my old bones might have died here."
"Old man, don't worry. The poison in your body has been cured. Just go back and have a good rest for a few days. Don't worry, you won't die." Zhao Shichu comforted him.
Zhao Song smiled bitterly and said: "I accept your good advice. It is my luck to meet you now. Little girl, if I can't overcome this obstacle, please help me pick up these old bones."
