At noon, Xuantian was playing with dried herbs in the fenced courtyard.
Suddenly, anxious shouts were heard from outside the courtyard.
"Flower girl! Flower girl!"
Xuan Tian tilted her head slightly and poked her head out from behind the hanging herbs.
After a while, a mountain woman ran towards her holding a boy of seven or eight years old.
This woman was only in her thirties, but because she lived in the mountains and forests, her dull skin made her look like she was in her forties. She was bloated, and her clothes were as big as a sack. When she ran over, Xuantian even I felt the ground shaking slightly.
Xuan Tian quickly put down her work, opened the courtyard door and went forward.
When the bloated woman arrived at the courtyard gate, Xuan Tian immediately asked, "Sister-in-law of the Wen family, what's going on?"
"Hua Niang, please save our baby..." Mrs. Wen panted heavily and said with a cry.
"Don't worry, tell me what's wrong?"
Xuan Tian said, then looked at the child in the woman's arms.
I saw that the boy had fainted at this time, his lips were blue, his face was stiff, and his breathing was intermittent, as if he was breathing out but not in.
The woman cried loudly, "He was playing in the back hill with other children and was bitten by a poisonous snake. This is what he will look like when those children carry him back."
Xuan Tian took a quick look, then opened the boy's trousers, and saw two pinprick-like tooth holes on his calf, which were the wounds bitten by poisonous snakes.
At this time, the two tooth cavities were black and blue, and the entire leg was swollen.
Seeing this scene, Xuan Tian took a breath of air and said, "Hurry and take the child into the house. He must be treated immediately. If it is late, it will be too late."
"Yeah, yeah." Mrs. Wen nodded her head repeatedly without any backbone, and then she carried the child into the hall like crazy.
Xuan Tian also became busy.
She first lit an oil lamp, and then took out a cloth bag from the drawer of the desk. After opening it, she found silver needles of various sizes inside.
Xuan Tian skillfully took a silver needle and burned it on the flame of the oil lamp. She returned to the bed, looked at it for a moment, and then directly inserted the silver needle into the boy's calf.
After inserting a silver needle, Xuan Tian went back to get the needle again. He followed the same method, and in just ten breaths, he used six or seven needles on the boy.
A strange scene occurred. The two dental cavities on the boy's calf bulged, and then a thick black and viscous liquid with a peculiar smell emerged from the two dental cavities.
Xuan Tian took a pottery bowl and placed it under the boy's calf. After doing this, Xuan Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah..." She wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled at Mrs. Wen who was still nervous, "It's okay, Sister-in-law of the Wen family, the venom has been drawn out. I will use it on him again after a while." With some herbs, it should be fine."
"But...but how could he
You haven't woken up yet. "Ms. Wen said while looking at the boy who was still unconscious.
"It can't be that fast. It will take at least two hours to wake up. Although he was deeply poisoned, fortunately you delivered him in time and didn't hurt his heart. Don't worry, Sister-in-law of the Wen family."
"Really...really...?" Mrs. Wen still said in disbelief.
As if to confirm what Xuan Tian said, as soon as Mrs. Wen finished speaking, the boy on the hospital bed took a long breath, and his breathing gradually became calmer.
"Look! Isn't this much better?" Xuan Tian pursed her red lips and said with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Wen finally put her mind at ease and let out a long sigh, "Hey...it scared me to death."
After a cup of tea and fresh blood flowing out from the two tooth cavities, Xuantian took out the silver needle, then took some crushed herbs, applied it to the boy's wound, and carefully tied it Nice bandage and a cute bow at the end.
In just a moment, the boy's complexion improved greatly, his stiff face returned to its original appearance, and his blue lips returned to their pink and tender appearance.
"Thank you, Hua Niang." Mrs. Wen said to Xuantian.
"It's okay, it's just a little effort." Xuan Tian said.
Mrs. Wen frowned and glared at the unconscious boy on the bed. The anxious look just now disappeared and she said viciously, "This damn kid, wait and see how I deal with him when we get home."
"Why are you blaming him? Children are supposed to be naughty." Xuan Tian comforted Mrs. Wen.
"Hua Niang, you like children very much, don't you?"
After the crisis was resolved, Mrs. Wen started chatting with Xuan Tian.
"Yes, I like it very much."
"I can see it too, the kids in the village say you are very kind to them, and they like you very much."
After hearing this, a gentle and virtuous smile bloomed on Xuan Tian's face, but she did not answer.
"By the way! Hua Niang, how long have you and Ah Shan been in the village?" Mrs. Wen asked again.
"It must have been about seven years."
"It's been seven years, why don't you and Ah Shan have a child?" Mrs. Wen said.
After hearing this, Xuan Tian's little face turned red, and her fair and tender face suddenly looked like a ripe apple.
"Look at you, we are not yellow flowers. What are you ashamed of? Isn't it normal to get married and have children?" Mrs. Wen said, after a pause, the potential of the eighth wife burst out, and then said, "Hua Hua Mom, I can tell you that the most precious thing for us women is our youth. Don’t look at me now. When I was young, I was as beautiful and tight as you. We women will get old as soon as we turn thirty. Come on."
"Hahaha." Xuan Tian pursed her lips and laughed after hearing this.
"Look why you are laughing, I am telling you the truth."
"Okay, okay, sister-in-law of the Wen family, tell me."
"Men are such things
You are born to be a playboy. Even if Ah Shan is honest now, he will not take you seriously when you get older in the future. Do you know what is the best weapon for us women to use against men? "
"What?" Xuan Tian asked with her beautiful eyes widened.
Mrs. Wen's wife patted her fat belly a few times, and then said, "It's our belly. Your belly will give birth to a son and a half. If you have an heir, the man will be relieved."
Normally, Xuan Tian would feel funny hearing these words, but now when Xuan Tian heard them, she felt a little bit inexplicably disappointed.
Xuan Tian smiled and said, "I know."
Mrs. Wen picked up the boy and walked out of the courtyard.
Xuan Tian stood at the door, watching the mother and son leaving. She gently touched her belly and sighed, "Child? Maybe I, Xuan Tian, will not be so lucky in this life."
It was almost dusk, and the setting sun was setting in the sky, giving the sky a beautiful orange color.
Then I saw smoke rising from every household in Jiuqushan Village. The smoke was straight, and from time to time, I could hear villagers shouting for their children to go home.
With a creak, the door of the small courtyard opened.
Xuan Tian poked her head out of the window and saw Ji Liao walking in with a basket of medicinal materials.
"Put the medicinal materials there, I'll pick them up later."
Ji Liao nodded, put down the medicinal materials and walked towards the house.
"Sister-in-law Wen's child was sick today. I took a look at it. She gave me a chicken in the afternoon. I will stew the chicken tonight."
"Um!"
Ji Liao sat on the steps in front of the door, dragging his shoes and socks, and agreed softly.
This kind of life is simple and ordinary, but it is something Ji Liao and Xuan Tian have never experienced.
Xuan Tian knew it well and knew that this was just the surface, a deliberately decorated prosperity, but she just didn't want to let herself wake up and prayed that this kind of day would never disappear.
After meal.
Xuan Tian cleaned up the dishes and chatted with Ji Liao for a few words, mostly like other women in the village, talking about their family's shortcomings with their men.
During this period, Xuan Tian was mostly talking, and Ji Liao occasionally agreed.
As the stars fell, Ji Liao forgot to glance at the open door and said lightly, "It's time to sleep!"
Xuan Tian's face changed slightly and she nodded, "Go to sleep."
After saying that, they both stood up at the same time and headed towards the opposite rooms in the east and west.
Just when Ji Liao was about to push the door open, the movements of his hands stopped, and at the same time, Xuan Tian's steps also stopped.
They both turned around and looked out the door.
An invisible wave of light spread out and instantly enveloped the entire village in Jiuqu Mountain. The next moment, a beam of light fell from the sky, and a person's figure appeared at the door of Ji Liao's house.
"It's hidden here, but I had a hard time finding it."
