The peasant's daughter-in-law of crossing

Chapter 39

When Yingniang and Bo Ming ran out, they saw Zhaodi squatting in the yard, her brows and eyes were wrinkled together, her expression was very painful, and she was dripping with sweat, her hair was already wet in strands.

Seeing Yingniang coming out, Zhaodi immediately burst into tears, "Sister-in-law, I don't know what bitten my leg, it's so swollen, it's so numb that I can't feel it now."

Yingniang panicked immediately, and hurried over to take a look, only to see that her right calf was thick, and the trouser leg was about to be squeezed.Yingniang pushed her trouser legs up, dumbfounded, Zhaodi's calves were thick and swollen, not to mention purple, and said anxiously: "Boming, come and see, what the hell was bitten by it? Why is it so big?"

Originally, it was not suitable for Boming to look at Zhaodi's legs, but now he didn't care about it anymore. He leaned over to take a look, and immediately panicked, "This must have been bitten by a poisonous snake!" Thinking that Zhaodi was still pregnant with a child, if poisonous Then spread it to the upper body, that's not bad!
He rushed into the house in a hurry, found a piece of ragged clothes and tore them into strips, and ran out, "Mother Ying, please help Zhaodi tie up her knees and ankles! This way the poisonous blood will not be released." It’s so easy to go both ways.”

Yingniang helped Zhaodi tie her up tightly according to the method Boming said, "But this alone is not enough, how do you get rid of this poison?"

Birming has seen how people deal with being bitten by poisonous snakes before, that is, they use their mouths to suck the poison from the injured person's legs, and then spit it out.It's not that he is afraid of the danger and dare not smoke for Zhaodi, but that Zhaodi is also his sister-in-law, so he can't do this kind of behavior at all.

He hurriedly shouted: "Shuchang, hurry up and call your second brother, you went to the ground so early?"

"Second brother probably just arrived in the field at this moment, Ji Wang has already called!" Shuchang responded quickly.Shuchang also knew that he could suck it out, but he couldn't easily suck it for his second sister-in-law.After all, this is a great defense between men and women, even if it is a family, it cannot be surpassed casually.

Thinking that Zhongping would be back soon, Boming and Shuchang had to wait anxiously for a while.The two ends of Zhaodi's calf have been tied, so it should not be too long.If Zhongping hadn't arrived late, the two of them might have to let go of their scruples and suck for Zhaodi, after all, life is the most important.

Yingniang has never had experience in this area, and she can't deal with it at all.If it was in her previous life, the only thing she knew was to go to the hospital immediately! "Shuchang, hurry up and find the doctor, what's the use of finding Zhongping back, he doesn't know how to detoxify."

After Yingniang's reminder, Shuchang realized that he could still find a doctor, so he ran out quickly.

Yingniang looked at Zhaodi's pregnant belly, and she was dying of anxiety, "Zhaodi, where have you been? How could your leg be bitten by a poisonous snake? You still have a child in your stomach. ..." She didn't dare to think about it at all.

Seeing that they were all so nervous, Zhaodi herself became even more frightened, with tears streaming down her face.If she got involved with the child, she would really be ashamed to see others.

When she gets up in the morning, she puts sorghum rice into the pot first, and then puts firewood in the stove.She was thinking about the cattle, so she ran to the cowshed behind the house to have a look.She squatted down and touched the cow's belly. For some reason, she felt as if her calf had been stung by something, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.

When she found that the cow seemed to be really pregnant with a calf, she ran home happily.But as soon as she ran, she felt something wrong with her calf, followed by a burst of pain.When she entered her yard, she couldn't walk anymore.

When she told Yingniang these intermittently, Yingniang was even more flustered, there is a poisonous snake so close to home?To put it this way, living at home is too insecure! "Bo Ming, have you ever seen someone bitten by a snake? Will the doctor treat such poisonous wounds?"

"Generally, after being bitten by a venomous snake, it takes a long time to take medicine. As for whether it will harm the unborn child..." He really didn't know.

When everyone was anxious, Zhong Ping and Ji Wang ran back.Bo Ming hurriedly said: "Zhong Ping, hurry up! Quickly help Zhaodi to suck out the poison!"

Zhongping was sweating profusely from running, and when he heard Jiwang talk about Qingzhaodi's situation on the road, he was already panicking. He has been waiting to become a father, so no accidents can happen.He threw away the hoe in his hand, quickly squatted down, and then lowered his head to inhale the poison on Zhaodi's leg.

Yingniang was a little dazed when she saw it, and suddenly remembered that it seemed possible to do this.When she was watching TV in her previous life, she had seen scenes where the male lead sucked snake venom for the beloved female lead.At that time, she still thought it was a bit fake, but she didn't expect that she actually saw this scene for real at this time. It turned out that all of this came from life.

Zhaodi kept shouting: "Zhongping, don't smoke! What if you accidentally get poisoned!"

Zhongping ignored her at all, and kept sucking hard.In order to keep Zhaodi from moving around, Bo Ming comforted him, "Don't worry, as long as you spit it out quickly, you'll be fine. Don't move around, don't let Zhong Ping accidentally swallow the venom into your stomach." .”

When Bo Ming said that, how dare Zhao Di move.Seeing Zhongping sucking snake venom for her like this, she was moved to tears.

Zhongping sucked it three times and spit it out three times, feeling almost clean.Bo Ming urged him, "Go and rinse your mouth quickly, and spit out a few more times."

Zhongping naturally knew that he had to protect himself, so he got up and went to the kitchen to scoop up water and rinse his mouth.Seeing that the blood spit out by Zhongping was dark purple, Boming took out a shovel and shoveled the poisonous blood out of the yard, and dug a hole outside to bury it.There are chickens at home, but the chickens are not allowed to touch them.

Yingniang had been supporting Zhaodi just now, she slightly lifted Zhaodi's body, "Can you stand up now?"

Zhaodi could only support herself with her left leg, and she was able to stand up slowly, but her right leg was still swollen and painful.Yingniang ran to fetch a chair and helped Zhaodi to sit on it.

At this time, Shuchang brought the doctor, and the doctor heard that Shuchang said that Zhaodi was bitten by a poisonous snake, so he brought some medicinal powder that he ground himself.When he saw that Zhaodi's leg was swollen like this, he was shocked.He took a closer look, and saw that both ends of the calf were firmly marked by the cloth strips, so he felt relieved.

Seeing Lang Zhong coming, Zhong Ping hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Lang Zhong, I have already given Zhao Di the snake venom, will her doing this be harmful to the child in her belly?"

Although the doctor is half-trained in medicine, he has treated many people's snake venom and has some experience. He carefully looked at Zhaodi's knees and ankles, "Although you tied the two ends of the calf in time, the blood flow is slow, but still There will be very little poison seeping to the two ends. Zhongping only sucked the poison near her wound, but the poison that seeped to the two ends could not be completely sucked out."

The doctor squatted down and took a closer look, "As long as the treatment is timely, the fetus should not be harmed. I will apply medicine to her first, and you go to the town to buy 'lobelia' for her. This medicine can be used to make soup. , can also be applied externally, it is the best medicine to detoxify snake venom. But it must be remembered that pregnant women must not use this medicine too much. Excessive dose will affect the fetus, so you can only drink the medicine soup once a day and apply it twice a day. .It’s just that the recovery is much slower in this way, and I’m afraid it will take more than half a month to completely reduce the swelling.”

Seeing that the family members were still frowning and worried, the doctor didn't seem to get rid of their worries after hearing what he said, "If you deal with it in a timely manner, nothing will happen. Don't worry for now, let's go buy medicine quickly."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing what the doctor said more relaxedly.Yingniang hurriedly went to the house to get the money, handed it to Zhongping, and asked him to go to the town to buy medicine, but Boming came over to take the money, "I'll go buy it, let Zhongping stay at home and take care of Zhaodi."

Yingniang happened to be going to the weaving workshop, so she went out with Bo Ming.It was getting late, and she had no time to eat breakfast.

Shuchang and Jiwang also went to work at Landlord Ge's house on an empty stomach, leaving only Zhongping and Zhaodi in the yard.

Zhong Ping first went to the kitchen to stir the half-cooked porridge in the pot, and then went to the stove to start the fire.Then he came to Zhaodi's chair, looked at her legs, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing.

Seeing that Zhongping was worried, Zhao Di blamed herself: "It's all my fault, I can't do anything well, and now I have caused this trouble, costing the family money, you don't blame me, do you?"

"What am I blaming you for? Could it be that you still want to be bitten by a poisonous snake? It won't cost much, so don't think too much about it. I'll go to the house later and weed all the weeds, and then tidy up the cowshed. If the cattle in the family are bitten again, it will be really bad luck."

The doctor just took some money for the dressing and went back. He was still not at ease when he got home, so he folded it back and said, "I forgot to say just now, don't untie the cloth strips tied at both ends early, at least You have to wait until the evening. Although it is uncomfortable to tie it like this, you have to be more patient.”

Zhao Di nodded, "Thank you, Doctor, for reminding me."

"You don't need to be thankful. I'm also thinking about myself. If I really hurt your child, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this meal in the future." Langzhong was about to leave with his hands behind his back, but was stopped by Zhaodi again.

"My cow seems to be pregnant. She doesn't like to eat grass these days. Can you help me take a look?" Zhaodi is still thinking about the cow.

The doctor felt funny when he heard this, "I am a doctor, not a veterinarian. I have to find a veterinarian to see this."

Zhaodi didn't think so, "A cow's pregnancy should be similar to that of a human. Why can't the doctor tell whether it's sick or pregnant? You can do what you can to help me take a look. I'm bothered by this matter." It’s been a few days, but don’t be sick.”

The doctor sighed, "Okay, I'll act as a veterinarian and go take a look."

Zhongping and Langzhong went to the cowshed behind the house together, and came back after a while. Zhongping came back as if he was shocked, "Fortunately, we just went to the back, and the poisonous snake almost bit our cattle again. , I beat him to death with a thick stick."

Zhao Di froze when she heard this, "Are you sure our cows haven't been bitten?"

"No, no, look at your urgency, our cow is really pregnant with cubs." Zhongping said with a little joy.This made Zhaodi so happy that she almost forgot about her swollen legs.At this time, the two of them saw the Langzhong carrying the poisonous snake home with a smile on his face, and he did not look after the cow for them in vain.

After Zhongping cooked the breakfast, he brought a bowl for Zhaodi to eat.Zhaodi felt very uncomfortable. Originally, she always wanted to do more work for the family, but now it's all right, and she still needs someone to take care of her.

After finishing the porridge, she hopped on one leg and went to the woodpile to use a stick as a crutch, "Zhongping, go and do your work, don't delay because of me, I have a crutch here."

Zhong Ping saw that she looked fine, and there should be no serious problems, so he went to the back of the house to weed the weeds first, and then straightened the cowshed.After he finished these tasks, he was about to go to the field again, and saw that his elder brother Bi Ming had returned.

He first came to boil medicine for Zhaodi, and Bo Ming hurriedly ate breakfast and went to work in the field.Due to a morning delay, it was already half-morning when Bo Ming came to the field.

Bo Ming saw that the soybean branches were growing strong and strong. He seemed to have seen a good harvest, and the more he looked, the more confident he became.He was weeding vigorously when a couple working next door surrounded him.

They were not a few years older than Birming, and they looked much older because of working in the fields for many years.They looked at Birming's soybeans with envy and envy.The woman half-jokingly and half-teasingly said: "Bo Ming, don't just work stupidly, you have to take good care of your own women."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, her man went on to say: "That is, it may not be a good thing for a woman to earn money. Those who show their faces outside often deal with men, so don't make any embarrassing gossip."

Bo Ming glanced at them, and suddenly felt angry. Who came to his house to give gifts and asked Yingniang to help him enter the weaving workshop?Yingniang can't help with this, so they just say these sour words?
Bo Ming also knew that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong.He knew that they were jealous, jealous of Yingniang's ability to make money, and jealous of his family's well-farmed land.In the past, he always felt that this kind of jealousy was only among women, but now he realized that some men are not much better, they are all good-looking, and they are not as good as others, so they like to run on people overtly and secretly.

Birming didn't bother to argue with them, and just went about his own work.Unexpectedly, the couple didn't respond to seeing Birming, and seemed very unhappy.

"I heard that your Zhaodi's leg was bitten by a snake? Oh, it's so pitiful. If you ask me, it's better to be a woman from this mountain." The woman said hypocritically. It's just that Di can regain a little confidence in front of her.

Her man hurriedly echoed: "Okay, okay, a big birthmark covers half of the face, it's ugly to death, it's just meek and obedient. I'm injured now, if the child accidentally bleeds out, I'm afraid it will be Zhongping to beat her."

Now Bo Ming couldn't bear it anymore, and frowned, "As long as Zhong Ping likes it, it's fine in his eyes that Zhao Di is not ugly. The doctor has already said, it won't hurt the fetus in the womb, so you don't need to worry about it."

The man heard that Birming was unhappy, and quickly changed his words: "It's lucky, as long as it doesn't hurt the child."

But his mother-in-law did not change her nature, and she still spoke vigorously, "It's good that Zhaodi is fine, but I was not joking with you just now, Yingniang really hooked up with men in the weaving workshop! I heard that Zhen Yuanwai's youngest son often I love to go to the weaving workshop and talk to Yingniang. You should hurry up and ask Yingniang to go home to farm. If she runs away with others, you won’t have time to cry. Zhen Yuanwai’s youngest son has several rooms Women, don’t be afraid of having another room.”

Bo Ming was so angry that he threw the hoe aside, "What nonsense? You call it hooking up after a few words? You are talking to me right now. Could it be that you are also hooking up? I won't let Yingniang go home to farm , I won’t let her plan food in the ground and get tanned like you like a black old woman!”

The woman's hair exploded when she heard this, she put her hips on her hips, and shouted: "You... who are you calling a black old woman? You are a monk and you have learned to swear?"

Her man was afraid of causing trouble, so he quickly carried her away.

Birming glanced sideways at their backs, picked up the hoe on the ground and continued to work.This was the first time he had a quarrel with the villagers, and thinking of how angry he was just now, he suddenly felt that he was too unsteady.To be angry with this kind of person, as for?He shook his head, inadvertently laughing to himself.

In the evening, Yingniang returned home and saw Zhaodi sitting on a chair making a head flower.She looked down and saw that Zhaodi's legs seemed to be less purple. Although the swelling didn't subside, it didn't get worse either.She moved a chair and sat down, and made haircuts together, "Zhaodi, you are already like this, why do you still want to work? Are your legs feeling better?"

"Well, after applying the medicine, the pain is not so great. I can still walk around with a stick, without delaying my work. Huh? Sister-in-law, why are you unhappy, your eyes are red?" Zhao Di looked at in surprise Looking at Yingniang, "Who bullied you?"

Yingniang sighed, "No one bullies me, it's Aunt Yao who is leaving tomorrow, she doesn't want to work in the weaving workshop."

"Ah? Then...then what do we do with the hair flowers we made, how can we sell them?" Zhao Di was anxious like something.

It happened that Zhongping and Boming were going home together at this time, and when Zhaodi saw them, she yelled anxiously: "It's not good! My sister-in-law said that Aunt Yao will not work in the weaving workshop tomorrow, what should we do if we still make so many flowers? I thought that as long as I kept doing this, I could earn a lot of money a year, but now it’s all in vain.”

Yingniang saw that Zhaodi couldn't hold her breath at all, so she quickly said clearly, "Don't worry, it won't come to naught. Aunt Yao is gone, but she gave me her place. When the time comes, I will go to Wu Wouldn't it be convenient for you to bring goods and get materials for your family?"

Zhaodi opened her mouth half-opened in surprise, but she was puzzled again, "Then why are you not happy, you are going to be a high official!"

Bo Ming knew why Yingniang was not happy, because she didn't want Aunt Yao to leave.He put down his hoe and came to Yingniang's side, "Don't be sad, where Aunt Yao is going, did she tell you? Maybe you can see her again in the future."

Ying Niang nodded and said: "Well, I will definitely meet you. She said that she is going to Wuzhou, and she has a sister from the Weaving Bureau there. When I go to Wuzhou, I can look for her. What makes me angry is that Yao Aunt did a good job here, all because of that Zhen Zicha. The name Zhen Zicha is really right, she is really a scum!"

"Is Zhen Zicha the youngest son of Yuan Zhen's family? He treats Aunt Yao...?" Bo Ming only felt amused in his heart. It turned out that this person was interested in Aunt Yao. What happened to mother, what a fool.Fortunately, he didn't believe it at all, otherwise he would have had a meal of jealousy in vain.

Yingniang became angry when she thought of Yen Zicha, "Yes, that's him. He usually scolds us village women openly and secretly, saying that we are vulgar and unclean. When he saw Aunt Yao's dignified and beautiful appearance and noble temperament, he moved crookedly. Thoughts. Thinking about it, Aunt Yao is already in her early thirties, about the same age as Yen Zicha, but she looks much younger than him. Aunt Yao is still a virgin, can he not worry about it? Aunt Yao lives in In his family, she was afraid that one day she would accidentally be treated lightly by him, so she wanted to leave quickly."

After hearing this, Zhao Di was a little worried, "Sister-in-law, after Aunt Yao leaves, will that man pester you?"

This was also what Birming was worried about, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Yingniang was startled when she heard that, and then shook her head like a rattle, "How can it be, he hates women like us from the countryside the most, he almost treats us like shit!"

Hearing what Yingniang said, Boming felt very comfortable, and the more people disliked Yingniang, the happier he was.

At this time, Zhaodi became more active in her hands, "Sister-in-law, then you will often go to Wuzhou in the future, but we are a big shot in Yongzhen, so I don't know how many people I will envy!"

Yingniang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not that exaggerated, I'm a big shot in Yongzhen. However, Steward Yin said that my wages are about to rise, and the salary of the big boss is five times that of the small boss, although it is not as good as Aunt Yao's salary here. I took one-tenth of it, but I am very satisfied."

Zhaodi, Zhongping and Boming shouted in unison: "Five times? Fifty Wen a day?!"
