Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11463

Sun and Bao Suyun tried to comfort Cao Bamei again, but failed.

It was not until Cao Bamei's mother-in-law, Jin, brought over a bowl of brown sugar water and asked Cao Bamei to drink it that the warm and sweet water finally calmed Cao Bamei's chaotic mental world a little.

Only then did she notice that her ankle had been treated, with medicine applied and several layers of white gauze wrapped around it.

I don’t know what kind of medicine it is, it’s yellow in color, has a pungent smell, and it even stained the gauze yellow.

Cao Bamei tried to move her bitten leg again and found that her whole leg was sore and numb.

"Aunt San, Aunt Wu, what's wrong with me?" Cao Bamei was very confused. Before she fainted, she remembered Xiuhong girl rushing over and biting her ankle. The bite was so hard and painful at that time.

But it shouldn't be so serious just from a bite like this!

Sun looked at Cao Bamei's ankle, her face pale and solemn, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Bao Suyun was the same, her eyes flickered, she wanted to say something but was hesitant and did not dare to say more.

The more the two of them did this, the more curious Cao Bamei became, and the more she wanted to find out what was going on and what had happened to her.

"If you don't tell me, I'll open it myself!"

"No, no, no, we have finally treated the wound. You cannot be exposed to the wind for twelve hours!" Sun and Bao Suyun rushed over together and held Cao Bamei's hand.

Cao Bamei stared into Sun's eyes and said, "Aunt San, don't hide it from me. How badly did my ankle get injured? Why is it that when I want to get out of bed, my entire leg won't obey me?"

At this point, Sun knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she sighed and said, "Qing'er told us not to tell you before, for fear that you would be scared."

"Your ankle injury... let me tell you this, Wangsheng came to take a look and treated it as snake venom!"

"What? Snake...snake venom?" Cao Bamei's breath missed a beat, and her wide-open eyes almost popped out of their sockets and fell to the ground.

"I, I was clearly bitten by my second girl. That's a human mouth, how come there's snake venom?" Cao Bamei couldn't figure it out at all. Her head was buzzing. The strange image of Xiuhong twisting and swaying her body and sticking out her forked tongue suddenly appeared in Cao Bamei's mind again.

She was so scared that she hugged her shoulders and shrank into a chair, trembling all over, and she said incoherently: "Snake, snake demon, the second girl is possessed by a snake demon..."

Sun and Bao Suyun stood aside. The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and saw the same fear in each other's eyes.

In the eyes of everyone in the Yang family, they all speculated that Xiuhong was possessed by an evil creature, and this evil creature was most likely a snake.

Even if it wasn't a snake, it was definitely a soft, reptile creature, because the image of Xiuhong swinging her noodle-like legs and swimming around on the roof beams and crawling along the walls was imprinted in the minds of several people in the Yang family and became everyone's nightmare.

"Where's Qing'er? Third Aunt, where is Qing'er?"

"And Yongjin, why hasn't Yongjin come back yet?"

The distraught Cao Bamei suddenly regained some sanity, grabbed Sun's hand and asked.

Sun patted Cao Bamei's hand and said, "Don't worry. I've sent someone to the town to tell Yongjin that he should be on his way back."

"As for Qing'er, she, Tang'erzi, and Xiuxiu went to the Taoist temple to see Taoist Master Qing Yuan!"

"That's good, that's good!" Cao Bamei finally felt more confident.

"Third aunt, I want to go to the backyard to check on the second girl..." "Eighth sister, it's better not to go check on her now. The second girl is not conscious. It would be bad if she scares you." Sun said.

"But I'm worried about her..."

"Eighth sister, we are worried about her too, but we can't help her and will only cause more trouble," said Bao Suyun.

She glanced at Cao Bamei's legs again. "Besides, Wangsheng said that you can't move your legs. The toxins haven't been completely eliminated. If you move too much, the toxins will flow to other parts of your body, which will be even more troublesome!"

"Your Fifth Aunt is right. You should lie down patiently for twelve hours before talking!"

Not only were Sun and Bao Suyun trying to persuade them, but Jin, who could understand everyone's lip language, was also there, signing to Cao Bamei.

Xiuhong is her granddaughter, and as a grandmother, she is just as anxious as Cao Bamei.

But at this critical juncture, everyone should listen to advice and arrangements and not cause trouble.

Seeing this, Cao Bamei could only suppress her anxiety and worry, and sat on the recliner patiently waiting for Yang Yongjin and Yang Ruoqing to come back...

Soon, footsteps were heard at the gate of the yard.

The women in the main room were all perked up and stretched their necks to look towards the door.

The people who came in were Yang Huazhong, Yang Huaming, and Luo the blacksmith, followed by Zhao Liuer and Xiao Mo.

"Have Qing'er and the others come back?" Yang Huazhong asked as he entered the door.

Sun shook his head.

Yang Huazhong stopped talking and went straight to the backyard.

Zhao Liu'er and Xiao Mo came to Cao Bamei's side without saying much. Zhao Liu'er gestured to Jin's side, meaning that she and Xiao Mo had gathered the children of the second, third and fourth rooms together and settled them in the fourth room in the opposite courtyard. They were currently being taken care of by Liu Jinchuan.

Given the situation tonight, the adults have to stay in the second room and wait for the situation to change, and they won't be able to take care of the children.

So the children were all settled in the fourth room to sleep tonight. At this moment, Zhao Liuer's intention was to let Jin Shimo not stay here. She and little Mo Shi would stay to accompany Cao Bamei, and Jin Shi would go to the fourth room to take care of the children and help them sleep at night.

Jin was a good mother-in-law. She simply took orders and carried them out for her daughters-in-law.

After Jin left, Sun, Bao Suyun, Zhao Liuer, and Xiao Mo were the only four people left in the main hall to accompany Cao Bamei.

Perhaps it was because of the two young nieces-in-law, or perhaps it was because Yang Huazhong and the others had also come over to the backyard. Sun and Cao Bamei and the others in the main room were not as frightened as before. With more people and more candles lit, it was as bright as daylight, so they didn't feel so panicked, and their hands and feet weren't as cold.

"Everyone, everything will be fine once Qing'er invites Taoist Yuan here. Don't worry, there will definitely be a way." Zhao Liu'er comforted everyone, especially Cao Bamei.

Cao Bamei nodded gently and whispered, "I'm so upset. Before, Qing'er told me not to come in, but I didn't listen to her. I caused trouble..."

If I hadn't gone in at that time, I wouldn't have been bitten, and if I hadn't been bitten, I wouldn't have been injured.

I'm not injured, so I can go to the backyard whenever I want. I won't be lying in the rocking chair like a useless person like now. The house is in such a mess, and I still need someone to take care of me.
