Several strong men lifted Chengzi, and Chengzi's daughter-in-law followed closely. Before leaving, she gave Ling Muer a friendly smile.
Seeing the gratitude in her eyes, Ling Muer felt a little better. She is not afraid of trouble, but she is afraid that the people who have worked so hard to save will not know how to be grateful. If so, it is better not to save.
When I worked in a military hospital, all the people I received were very well-known people. She was young, and no one took her seriously when she first went there. No matter what she said, they all looked like they couldn't believe it. After a long time, she became a little impatient. So I set a rule for myself, and those who have doubts will not be saved.
"When did this girl know medical skills? It's really impressive." Someone in the crowd whispered.
"Didn't you hear what she said? After a long illness, she became a doctor. She used to look sick and weak. Both her older brother and younger brother were often sick. It's not surprising that she has been taking care of her like this every day, and she has gradually learned some medical skills. "The person next to him looked disapproving.
Ling Muer had no interest in their conversation. It is not certain whether that Chengzi will survive. After all, she just applied medicine to stop the bleeding. The current climate is so bad that even healthy people can't hold on, let alone a man who has lost too much blood. He will face more tests in the future.
If he has a strong heart and supports his wife and children, it will be even more difficult for him who lost an arm in the future. The future path depends on how he walks.
Back home with the basket. Yang stayed at the door and looked into the distance, and when she saw her figure, she immediately greeted her.
"You girl is really disobedient. Mother told you earlier that the wild vegetables on the mountain have been dug up by the villagers, so don't take risks there in the future." Yang took her hand and kept breathing on her. , asked with concern: "Is it warmer? Go in and enjoy the fire, don't freeze."
"Mother, I didn't go to the mountain." Ling Mu'er lifted the weeds on the surface of the basket, and smiled: "Not long ago, I put the black bear at that elder brother's house, have you forgotten?"
"This... I really forgot." Yang's eyes were full of joy when he saw such a large piece of meat. "Let's save some money, and we will definitely be able to get through it."
"A few people in the village were looking for food on the mountain just now, and they met a leopard by accident. Some were captured by the leopard, and some had their arms torn off." Ling Muer looked around the room and asked, "Where's the eldest brother? Where is he?" At home? The beasts in the mountains have gone crazy recently, so he must not go up the mountain to take risks."
Ling Zixuan came out from the next room. Hearing Ling Muer's words, he smiled softly and said, "You girl, you still have the nerve to teach me a lesson. You are the one who likes to run outside the most now. Since you know the danger, don't go up the mountain casually in the future. Our house is better than other houses, save money If you eat it, you can survive this winter."
"But..." Ling Muer said helplessly: "Everyone is running around for their livelihood, and only our family doesn't even leave the house. It's too strange!"
"This..." Yang frowned. "Mu'er is right. Someone in our family must be looking for food outside, otherwise we will be suspected."
"It just said that everyone will go clear the road tomorrow. Now everyone has nothing to eat, and they have to clear the road hungry. I don't know how many days they can last." Ling Muer frowned. "A full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry. He has never been hungry, so he can't feel the pain of starvation. If this continues, I'm afraid everyone won't last long."
"If the road can be cleared earlier, everyone can go to the city to buy food, and if the family has some money, they can also buy clothes to keep out the cold." Ling Zixuan said: "Since there is no way out, they can only hope to clear the mountain road sooner. Come out, so at least there is still a chance of life. It's a pity that you can't do this kind of gravity work with an empty stomach."
"Don't talk about it. We can't protect ourselves, and we can't help them." Ling Muer patted the snowflakes on her body. "Is little brother okay? I'll go see him."
"Then you accompany August, mother will cook." Yang said, carrying a basket to the kitchen. She muttered as she walked. "In the whole village, only Lizheng's house has cooking smoke coming out, and our family also cooks food every day, so we can't hide it for a few days. Only a day is counted as a day. I hope that the road will be cleared earlier, so that everyone can have food. "
Looking at Yang's back, Ling Mu'er thought to herself: Fortunately, Yang didn't have the mother's request to divide the black bear meat equally, otherwise the life of this family would be even more difficult.
"Mu'er, brother has something to discuss with you." Ling Zixuan said in a low voice: "At least our family is not hungry. But grandma and uncle are miserable. Mother has been moaning and sighing for the past few days, just because she is worried that they won't be able to make it through. Yangjia Village is not far from us, just over a hill. My brother was thinking, if there is any extra black bear meat, can I send some to them?"
In Ling Muer's memory, her grandmother Tang was an old widow. She has been widowed since she was young and raised her daughter and son alone.
In order to let her uncle Yang Daniu marry a wife, she gave Yang to a rich family as a child bride. It's a pity that the son of that family was seriously ill since he was a child, and died within a few years. Yang was kicked out, and then met Ling Dazhi.
This is also one of the reasons why people in the village say that Yang's family is unlucky.
From their point of view, Yang Shike killed one of her husbands, and now she has made her two sons sick, which shows that her life is very hard.
Although the grandmother Tang sacrificed her daughter's happiness for her son, she is not a bad person. Women in this day and age are patriarchal. Besides, their family was desperate back then. Tang thinks that instead of letting her daughter stay in their home and suffer, it is better to send her to a rich family. At least Yang can live comfortably and don't have to worry about starvation.
However, in this era, child brides-in-law have no human rights, even worse than the maids and mother-in-law at home. The Tang family suffered all kinds of hardships while staying in that family.
Ling Muer didn't agree with Tang's actions, but she didn't dislike her either. The memory of the original owner told her that her grandmother Tang's life was very difficult. Back then, she finally used the money from selling her daughter to marry her son a wife, but because the family was poor, the woman ran away with someone shortly after giving birth.
"Brother, the path in our village has collapsed, so there is no way to go to the city. Since you can go to Yangjia Village by climbing over this mountain, can you go to the city from there?" Ling Muer asked.
"Silly girl, our village is surrounded by mountains. If we want to go to other villages, we have to go through the landslide mountain road. Although Yangjia Village is just over the mountain, the road in their village is worse than ours. If we could pass, we would have gone there a long time ago. Now everyone is so desperate, obviously the situation there is worse than ours.”
Yangjiacun and Lingjiacun are separated by a mountain, and the two villages intermarry all the year round. If the mountain roads in Yangjia Village were accessible, the people in the village would have gone to the city long ago and would not have waited until now.
Ling Muer thought for a while and said, "Grandma's life is hard, we should send them some meat."
"I knew little sister is a kind girl." Ling Zixuan raised a bright smile.
Ling Zixuan looks very handsome. If it wasn't for the injury to that leg, I don't know how many girls would be willing to marry him. Back then, he was the most handsome man in the surrounding villages.
Now he smiles, revealing his snow-white teeth, and his eyes are soft, as if shining with dazzling light.
Ling Muer looked at Ling Zixuan's legs, and said, "Brother, can I see your legs?"
The smile on Ling Zixuan's face froze. His expression became extremely bitter.
"Silly girl, what's there to look at?" Ling Zixuan touched his leg and sighed softly, "It's just a useless leg anyway."
"Don't be discouraged." Seeing that Ling Zixuan was depressed, Ling Muer couldn't make any more requests. She knew that Ling Zixuan's injury wasn't serious back then, but he didn't meet a good doctor, which delayed the recovery of his injured leg. After she has collected the herbs, she will treat him again. Look at Ling Zixuan's usual walking condition, as long as he corrects it, he can return to normal. "One day, I will make my brother return to normal. I don't know what happened. Recently, I have always dreamed of a white-bearded grandfather teaching me medical skills. Today, Brother Cheng Zi broke his arm and lost too much blood. I followed the instructions of that grandfather. I went to the mountains to find herbs for my things, but I didn’t expect him to really stop the bleeding. Don’t you think it’s miraculous?”
"Is there such a thing?" Ling Zixuan looked at her in surprise. "My sister won't meet a fairy, will she?"
Ling Mu'er said in her heart: It's not a fairy, but a medical fairy. If you don't say that, how do you explain the fact that I suddenly know medical skills?
"Perhaps! He comes to me every night in my dreams to teach me that he must not be a liar!" Ling Mu'er touched her cheek with a puzzled expression.
"It seems that our Mu'er is a lucky girl." Ling Zixuan had no doubt about him. The ancient people were relatively feudal, and they were particularly in awe of these gods and Buddhas. All those things that cannot be explained by the theory of reality are almost pushed to the so-called gods. "No wonder you can lower the body temperature in August. It turns out that there are gods to guide you."
"Let's not talk about that. He appeared in a dream, so he probably won't harm me." Ling Mu'er stuck out her tongue and said, "I'll go to that elder brother's house again, and then send the black bear meat to my grandmother's house. "
"You go? No, no, how can you climb such a high mountain as a girl? Besides, there are wild beasts in the mountains. I can't let you take risks." Ling Zixuan's face changed, and he said quickly: "Of course it's brother That's it. I'll leave this matter to my brother."
"Brother, I have walked that mountain many times. Besides, I know there is a shortcut that can lead to my grandmother's house. It's not like I haven't walked it before." Ling Muer would never let Ling Zixuan take risks. With legs like his, if he met a wild animal, he couldn't even run. She could climb trees anyway, and run away.
"No!" Ling Zixuan said nothing to let Ling Muer take risks. He came up with the idea, and of course he will bear it. Among the brothers and sisters, only Ling Mu'er is normal. If something happens to her, let alone whether Yang Shi can bear such a blow, even the gossip outside can drive Yang Shi crazy.
