Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 26
Zhang Yong was a little shocked when he saw He Jiuniang. They had all fled all the way. They were seriously injured and they ended up in the refugee camp after losing all their wealth.

However, the Lu family looked clean, with rosy faces, and had obviously not suffered much. It was incredible that they even put sugar in the water they gave to others.

Especially the conditions of the Lu family before were not as good as those of the Zhang family. Did the Lu family have any adventures?

He pursed his lips and said nothing, but the child in his arms nodded sensibly.

He Jiuniang held Xiuya in her arms and gave her some water. Then Lu Guilan came and shouted excitedly from a distance: "Sister-in-law three!"

Lu Guilan is the youngest daughter of the Lu family. She was married to the Zhang family only five or six years ago. In her hometown in Changzhou, Lu Guilan had a good life and often helped her parents' family. Now that she is in trouble, the Lu family naturally wants to help.

"Little sister, it's great to find you. This journey has made my parents very worried!"

He Jiuniang stood up with Xiuya in her arms. At this time, Xiuya had woken up, but was still drowsy due to poor health. In this way, she was no different from the original dog.

"Yes, it's great to meet you!"

When Lu Guilan said this, tears flowed out.

She had thought before that she was living a good life but still ended up in such a bad situation, that her parents' life was not as good as hers, and she didn't know what kind of misfortune she would suffer on the road.

Now seeing He Jiuniang standing in front of her safe and sound, with a rosy face, she was happy for them from the bottom of her heart.

"Mom and dad, are they all okay?"

He Jiuniang nodded: "Okay, very good. We met noble people to help us on the way, so we didn't suffer much."

"That's fine, that's fine!"

Lu Guilan was so excited that she was rubbing her hands together, wanting to win over He Jiu Niang. She thought that she had just gone to collect night incense for a wealthy family and her hands might not be very clean, so she held it back.

"What about that? My brother-in-law and uncle from the Zhang family are both injured, and Xiuya is also sick. Let's send them to the hospital first. We can't delay it like this!"

After all, He Jiuniang didn't know Lu Guilan very well, and she couldn't talk too much. She still had to do business now.

Lu Guilan looked embarrassed: "I...all the money in our hands has been spent..."

I was robbed some on the way and spent some more on the way to the city. Now I am penniless. I even pawned the hairpin given by Mrs. Sun. Otherwise, how could we let the injured adults and sick children suffer here.

"I do. Stop talking about this. We are all a family. It is important to heal your body first!"

He Jiuniang walked in front with Xiuya in her arms. The smell here was so strong that she could hardly hold on.

Lu Guilan responded. He didn't even have time to say thank you. Seeing that she had already gone out, she hurriedly helped her husband up with Xiao Huzi, and asked her younger brother and sister Shen to also support Zhang Yong and leave the refugee camp together.

Zhang Song was still unconscious, and it was inconvenient for Lu Guilan to support him, so he had to find a nearby medical clinic for treatment.

On the way, He Jiuniang gave them a bun to fill their stomachs so that they could have some strength.

It had been a long time since the family had smelled the aroma of meat, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as devouring it.

The hospital was also deserted. There was not even anyone buying medicine. When the young man saw so many people coming in, he immediately beamed and said, "Sit inside first. The doctor is behind. I'll call him right away!"

Before he finished speaking, he ran to the backyard and shouted loudly that it was time to work.

Soon two men came out, one old and one young, they seemed to be father and son. "What's going on here?"

Seeing this, the young doctor hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Guilan. The old doctor was calmer in comparison, but still asked the young man to clean up the place and let Zhang Song lie down.

"This injury must be seven or eight days old. Look, it's almost infested with worms! If we don't come to see him again, I'm afraid I won't survive tomorrow."

In this hot weather, the smell on the family's body is strong, which naturally attracts mosquitoes, especially flies, which like to lay eggs in such rotten places.

He Jiuniang had already checked the injuries on Zhang Song's arms before, but not the ones on his chest. After all, in this era, there were strong concepts of men and women. If she took off her brother-in-law's clothes in public, she would not be judged by others.

Lu Guilan became anxious when she heard this: "Doctor, you must save my husband. It's not that we don't have to come to the hospital, there is nothing we can do!"

She wiped her tears as she spoke. If it weren't for making some money to buy medicine, she would not abandon her seriously ill daughter to collect night incense for others. She and Shen only made ten cents after working all morning, even the cheapest ones. She couldn't even afford the medicine, so she worked really hard.

"It's already so serious, I can only do my best."

The old doctor sighed and shook his head.

In Lu Guilan's eyes, it was hopeless, and she burst into tears.

He Jiuniang couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said: "Doctor, the festering wound needs to be scraped clean, right? We can't delay any longer!"

When will it end like this?

"Ah, that's right, it's just that his wound is too big. Even if the rotten flesh is scraped clean, there's no guarantee that it won't rot again!"

The old doctor said, shook his head again, and then asked the young man to prepare a dagger and a candlestick for him to scrape away the carrion.

"Doctor, I heard that salt water or spirits can reduce inflammation. Can I use these two to clean the wound after scraping it?"

It wasn't that she wanted to meddle in other people's business, it was mainly because the old doctor had no intention of cleaning Zhang Song's wound, so she had to remind him.

"That's the truth!" The old doctor glanced at He Jiuniang and praised, "This lady knows a lot, but it's extremely painful to clean the wound. People are already like this. If it is stimulated again, I'm afraid they won't be able to stand it. …”

Today's medical conditions are rudimentary, and doctors rarely have such awareness. Faced with such a situation, they can only shake their heads.

But these three people are different. He Jiuniang just gave them medicine. As long as the wound is taken care of, everything will be fine, so she said: "Doctor, people are unconscious, even if they are hurting, they can't feel it. This wound must be It needs to be cleaned, otherwise there will be endless troubles in this hot day!"

The doctor thought that what she said made sense, so he asked the boy to prepare strong drinks.

Zhang Song's condition was the most serious, so naturally he followed him first. Seeing the stinky rotten flesh being scraped out bit by bit, Zhang Yong trembled as he watched, thinking that it would be his turn in a while, his face was unusual. of white.

After scraping it clean, the old doctor had to clean Zhang Song's wound again. He was afraid that he couldn't bear it, so he said to his son: "Put something in his mouth to prevent his tongue from being bitten."

Hearing this, Lu Guilan's tears fell down as if they were worthless. It was all because of her incompetence that her man suffered so much.

This was not good in He Jiuniang's opinion, but she couldn't say it now. She could only silently hold Lu Guilan's hand to stop her from shaking so much.

As soon as the strong drink was poured, Zhang Song, who had been unconscious, did move. He didn't wake up, but the sweat on his forehead and clenched teeth told everyone that he was in pain.
