Just when Ling Muer was about to stride back, there was a terrified cry from the mountain. The voice was getting closer and closer, and it reached Ling Mu'er's ears.
"It's not good, brother Chengzi was attacked by wild beasts." A man ran down from the mountain and said to the other villagers, "Everyone, go and see him quickly. He has bled a lot and is still lying on the snow. I dare not touch him." , for fear of aggravating his injury. What should I do?"
The faces of the villagers changed drastically. One of them said, "What kind of beast did you meet?"
"It's just a leopard. We wanted to run away when we saw that leopard, but Cheng Zige said that he had been hungry for a few days, and he would die if he didn't eat any more. We might as well take a risk."
"It's just that I didn't expect the beast to be so terrifying. None of the dozen or so of us are its opponents. The third brother was also taken away by that leopard. Brother Cheng Zi was bitten off one arm and is now unconscious."
"You guys are fooling around. The wild beasts in the mountains are famous beasts here. Usually we dare not touch them, not to mention that the weather is so harsh this winter, and the wild beasts are even more mad than in previous years." An elderly man shook his head and said: " This time, one dies and the other is injured, let's see if you dare to act rashly."
"Third Grandpa, it's useless to say these things now." The man who ran down the mountain to deliver the message said tremblingly, "We can't ignore Brother Cheng Zi! He's not dead yet!"
"Let's all go and carry him down! The beast has taken away San'er, and he probably won't come back in a short time." The villagers heard voices discussing.
Although the people in this village have their own plans, they don't have the cruel heart to wait until death. Since that Chengzi is not dead yet, of course he has to be carried down for treatment. As for the third brother who was dragged away by the leopard, they had no intention of looking for it. In this case, if he is not dead, then he is alive.
Ling Mu'er squeezed into the crowd and saw those people carrying Cheng Zi down.
A total of four prime-age men went. Those four people have a good reputation in the village, and they are all helpful.
When they used a stretcher to carry down Cheng Zi, who was covered in blood and had a broken arm, the surrounding villagers all showed expressions of unbearable.
"Chengzi..." A young woman ran from the village, holding a full moon child. The young woman ran over staggeringly, lying on Chengzi who was on the stretcher, and shouted tremblingly: "Chengzi, wake up...get up and look at me! Don't die, if you die, leave us orphans and widows behind!" , so why not be bullied to death?"
"Chengzi's daughter-in-law, stop howling. Chengzi is fine at first, but if you howl like this twice, you will lose half your life." An old man frowned and said, "The road in the village has been cut off, so we have no way to find a doctor for him. Now we can only see his fate. If he survives this death test, you will have a better life in the future. If..."
"Where's Li Zheng?" Someone said, "Why didn't you invite Li Zheng when such a big thing happened?"
"There's no need to call, I'm already here." Li Zheng walked over slowly. Looking at Chengzi on the ground, he frowned and said, "You guys are desperate. How dare you fight wild beasts in the mountains for a little food. Are you at a loss now? You deserve it! You should also have a longer memory."
"Lizheng, we've been hungry for a few days. If we don't open the road, we really won't even have to eat the bark. If you eat the little bit in your mouth, it's your life in our place!" A middle-aged man said with tears : "We can die. But the children in the family are innocent. When they are hungry and crying, everyone can't wait to cut off their own meat to feed them. So seeing such a big leopard, it is inevitable that we will be a little excited."
"Is it comfortable now?" Li Zheng sneered: "Instead of going to the mountains to look for wild animals, it's better to cut off your own flesh and feed it to your children, at least you won't die if you cut two pieces of flesh."
Ling Muer looked at Li Zheng angrily.
How could such a person become Lizheng here? In ancient times, there was really no place for human rights. Here power means everything, and if you want to have dignity, you must have rights. But a small Lizheng, who can't even be called a local snake here, actually treats the lives of the villagers like nothing, which is really extremely arrogant.
This person... must be dealt with.
A cold light flashed in Ling Muer's eyes. She looked at Li Zheng, imagining what kind of poison she should prepare for him. He should be thankful that she is too poor now to afford those herbs. Now it is winter again, many herbs are not growing. Therefore, he can live so long.
The villagers were outraged at Li Zheng's words and dared not speak up. Li Zheng had always been ruthless to them, and they never expected him to say a few words of comfort. I just hope he doesn't get into trouble.
Ling Mu'er watched Chengzi's face getting more and more ugly, and quietly disappeared from the crowd.
She climbed up the mountain again to find several herbs from previously seen locations before quickly descending again. When she came back, the others were still in that motion. No one thought that Chengzi would be injured and ill in such ice and snow, and he should be taken home.
Ling Muer shook her head, squeezed into the crowd, knelt down and looked at Chengzi's injury.
"You still haven't carried him back?" Ling Muer looked at Cheng Zi's wound, and found that there was bleeding all the time. If this continues, he is afraid that he will lose too much blood and die.
"Mu girl, you are a girl who has never left the court, how can you look at a man like this? You are still shameless." The old man next to him shouted dryly.
"Now that Brother Cheng Zi is injured like this, you still have the mood to say this. Don't you think that a person's life is not as important as reputation?" Ling Muer sneered: "Besides, with so many people here, Brother Cheng Zi In such a crisis, isn't everyone's focus on caring about him? Why do you want to trouble me, a little girl?"
"Third Grandpa, forget it, let's treat it as a son for now!" A middle-aged man next to him persuaded. "Cheng Zi is not dead yet, so he should be saved."
Ling Muer didn't bother to pay attention to them. They talked nonsense for a long time in there, and they didn't have a single idea. If this continues, Chengzi's life will be over long ago.
A lot of blood flowed from the severed hand. Chengzi's daughter-in-law held the child in one hand and covered his injured place with the other. That delicate little daughter-in-law was crying like pear blossoms and rain. The man next to him felt itchy for a while, wishing he could comfort her.
The daughters-in-law next to me sighed. However, they have no idea about this situation. Now, apart from sympathy, I can't give the young couple anything.
Ling Mu'er chewed up the herbal medicine she brought back, and applied the herbal medicine to the wound.
Chengzi's wife looked at Ling Muer in surprise. She frowned, and wanted to ask what kind of medicine it was and whether it was useful, but seeing that the wound was no longer bleeding, she couldn't ask those suspicious words any more. She looked at Ling Mu'er gratefully, and said, "Thank you, girl Mu. I didn't expect you to be good at medicine."
"You become a doctor after a long illness." Ling Mu'er said lightly, "If you were me, you could also learn some superficial skills."
Ling Mu'er just made up an excuse, but what the villagers heard was different. From their point of view, the reason why Ling Mu'er knows some medical skills is because there is a lame brother and a foolish brother in the family. Therefore, they looked at Ling Muer with sympathy.
"Girl Mu is not bad! Chengzi's wound has stopped bleeding. I'm really worried that he will bleed to death like that just now." The man who came down the mountain to report the news said pleasantly: "What about this broken arm? If it can be recovered Just go back."
Ling Muer looked at the severed arm on the ground, and gave Chengzi a sympathetic look. She thought to herself: If I still have a medical kit now, of course I can connect his severed arm. It's a pity that the medical technology here is too backward, and there is nothing I want. It is precisely because I am immature in all aspects that I can obviously put the broken arm back, but I cannot perform the operation.
Ling Muer touched her finger. The patterns on it were getting deeper and deeper, but she still couldn't step into the space. Why is this? She can be sure that the space has traveled through time and space, so it can't be opened now, is it because the time is not ripe? Or is it that an opportunity is needed to activate the space, and she hasn't found that opportunity yet?
"Everyone, carry Chengzi back! Don't go up the mountain again. Everyone will go to clear the road tomorrow. If the road is cleared early, everyone can leave the city earlier to find a way to survive." Li Zheng said calmly: "As for the third child, he is already dead. There is nothing we can do. There is only one widowed mother in the third child's family, and we will take care of her in the future, and don't let her grow old without a home."
Listening to Li Zheng's high-sounding words, Ling Muer sneered in her heart.
If you want to take care of that old widowed mother, then set an example yourself. The richest person in the entire village is Lizheng's family. Everyone has nothing to eat, their chests stick to their backs with hunger, and their family is still full of fat, obviously there is no shortage of food. That's why he said lightly, 'just a little food'.
"Chengzi's daughter-in-law, Chengzi's bleeding has stopped. As for what will happen in the future, it depends on God's will." Li Zheng looked at Chengzi's wife with a pair of evil eyes.
Chengzi's daughter-in-law and Chengzi have just been married for one year, and the child was born one month ago. Chengzi's daughter-in-law is beautiful, and now she is breastfeeding, so she has a particularly hot body.
The restless men in the village always salivate every time they see her. Of course, that's for some men. Country people are simple, and most men don't have undue thoughts about other people's wives.
However, that perverted Lizheng had long coveted her son-in-law. He wished that his son would die, so that his daughter-in-law would become a widow, wouldn't that be in his hands?
Just now Chengzi's daughter-in-law cried on Chengzi's body, saying that he might be bullied by others after he was gone. Obviously she is a smart person. She knew that she would be the target of those men's bullying after losing her husband. Now that Chengzi is here, they dare not be rampant. When Cheng Zi is not around, one can imagine what will happen to her.
"Thank you Lizheng, I'll make a note." Chengzi's daughter-in-law finished speaking to Lizheng, then looked at the other men and said, "Big brothers, please take Chengzi back."
Seeing that Cheng Zi had stopped the bleeding, Ling Mu'er had nothing to do with her here. If it weren't for Chengzi and Chengzi's wife being pleasing to the eye, she wouldn't want to care about these people's lives. It's not that she is cruel, but that the people in the village have either bullied their family or like to talk about their family's right and wrong. If it weren't for the few of them still needing Yang's care, Yang would have been forced to death long ago.
Modern people know that the pressure of public opinion is sometimes so cruel that it can drive a living person to death. Yang used to have suicidal tendencies.
As such, she has no sense of belonging to the village. Once she earns a lot of money, she will take Yang and her family away from here and never come back.
