Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 31
He closed the doors and windows of the bedroom, locked the door of the main room of the kitchen tightly, and stayed in the main room with Li Jingjing.

The mother and daughter sat in the empty main room with dimly lit butter lamps, the sound of wind and rain came from outside, one was making shoes, the other was boiling medicine, time passed slowly.

Suddenly there was a rumbling thunder and the sound of rain, and the world outside the main room began to rain heavily.

Li Jingjing came over and hugged He Shi's right arm acting like a baby, pouted and said, "Mother, the light is too dark, it's not good for your eyes, stop making shoes."

He Shi was a little disturbed by the thunder, nodded and said: "Okay. I'll listen to baby Jing."

There were footsteps outside the door, and Li Qubing yelled in fear before entering the main room: "Sister-in-law, it's not good, the canopy has collapsed and smashed a lot of people watching the theater!"

He Shi was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly opened the door.

Li Qubing's face was pale, his pink lips trembled, he held an oil umbrella in his left hand, and held Li Yunxiao who was already scared to death with his right hand.

The sound of gongs and drums was gone.The sound of splashing rain was vaguely interspersed with the shouts of adults and children from the old patriarch's house.

He Shi looked at the long dark night behind the two of them, his heart was pulled violently, and he asked anxiously: "Where is mother, how is she?"

Li Qubing finally returned home, put Li Yunxiao on the ground, sat on the chair with limp legs, and replied in a daze, "Mother is at the patriarch's grandfather's house well, let Xiao Yazi and I come back first."

When He Shi heard that Qu Shi, who was like his biological mother, was safe, he let out a long breath.

Li Jingjing ran over and hugged Li Yunxiao who was standing in the center of the main room with silly eyes, he suddenly started to cry loudly with tears, which made people feel distressed.

"Brother, I'm home. Look, Mother is by your side." Li Jingjing called Li Yunxiao brother in a rare way.

"It's good for baby to cry. Don't be afraid, mother is here." He hugged Li Yunxiao in his arms, kissed and coaxed him, and then he slowly stopped his tears.

Li Qubing sat and wiped his tears secretly, with lingering fears in his heart, and slowly said: "Sister-in-law, fortunately, I listened to your words and sat on the outermost edge with Xiaoyazi in my arms. Otherwise, so many adults would run out, and Xiaoyazi and I would definitely be taken away." knocked down."

Li Jingjing asked: "Little uncle, what's going on?"

Li Qubing said: "The pillar in the middle of the rain shed collapsed, and the people sitting next to the pillar were knocked down. People were scared and ran to the outside, stepping on people."

Li Jingjing has seen this kind of temporary rain shed before. The middle is high and the four corners are low. A tall and thick wood is used as a beam in the middle, and shorter wood is used at the four corners to form an umbrella shape. Falling to the roof of the shed, it can flow down the tarpaulin and fall to the ground.

This kind of rain shed can protect the moderate rain to the greatest extent. In the heavy rain just now, the roof of the shed cannot withstand the force, and the beams, pillars and wood will naturally fall down on the people underneath.

If this happened during the day, as long as someone calmly yells and stays still, and everyone does not panic and run out, the accident will not expand.

It's a pity that the accident happened in the dark night. The adults made the children cry, and there was a mess. I don't know how many people were injured or injured.Qu Clan, this is really joy begets sorrow.

He asked, "Are there many people from other villages?"

Li Qubing said: "It rained all day, many people thought they didn't come if they didn't sing. There are at most [-] people in other villages."

He said: "Only 50 people came from the outer village, which is less than [-]% of the previous number. This is really a blessing in misfortune."

Li Qubing imagined that all the people from other villages would come, and if there were 1000 people crowded into the rain shed, they would definitely be trampled to death.His face became even paler.

Li Jingjing got two bowls of ointment out of nowhere, saying that Zhuanzhi was frightened, and let Li Qubing and Li Yunxiao eat it.

He Shi asked, "Are the uncle's family all right?"

Li Qubing's face regained some color, and his voice finally returned to normal, and he said, "Uncle's only uncle went to the theater, and he sat with Mother. The canopy collapsed, and he ran out to protect Mother. Both he and Mother are fine. "

He Shi said: "It's fortunate that my aunt and younger siblings are sick today and didn't go."

After a while, Qu held an oil umbrella in his left hand, left his right hand empty, and trotted back. The clothes on his right side were wet and there were obvious water spots. When he entered the door, he looked at Li Jingjing with tears in his eyes, and cried, "Sister Jing, you made painkillers." Is there any more blood ointment?"

Li Jingjing looked solemn, nodded and said: "Yes. Grandma, I will go to the miscellaneous room to get it for you."

Li Qubing wanted to accompany Li Jingjing to the miscellaneous room, but she refused.

She went back to the Aphrodisiac House under the banner of going to the miscellaneous room, so of course she couldn't let Li Qubing accompany her.

He looked at Qu with concern, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong, where did you fall?"

Qu wiped her tears and said anxiously: "I didn't fall. There are 67 people in the village outside the village who were injured and sprained. My three uncles and two aunts couldn't walk. I will use Jingmeizi's ointment to apply to them. gone."

When He Shi heard the number of people, his heart skipped a beat.Still consoling: "Fortunately, no one died."

This dynasty still continues to follow the law of the previous dynasty. If more than 50 civilians are injured in a crowd gathering, they must report to the state capital. All administrative officials involved in the incident will be removed from their posts and will not be allowed to hold office within ten years.

Qujia Village belongs to Liuyang County. Once this matter gets out, Tanzhou Prefecture will remove the county magistrate.

The county magistrate will definitely not let Qujia Village go before he is dismissed.

This time, the old patriarch singing opera is under the banner of celebrating the emergence of seven scholars in the clan. The old patriarch will pay the injured people money and go to prison according to the law, and the seven scholars will also be dismissed.

Qu cried sadly: "The people in the outer village said that in order to celebrate the winning of seven scholars, the clan set up a canopy to watch a play. After hurting so many people, it will spread to the county tomorrow. The seven talents in the clan His fame will be removed by the county magistrate. For a long time, many children have only been a scholar for a few days, and they will not be able to become a scholar."

The He family treated the Qu family as their own mother, and she cried to his heart, and advised: "Mother, people from other villages are jealous of the Qu family, that's why they say this."

Clutching He's hand tightly, Qu asked, "You are well-versed in reading and writing, do you think the county magistrate will be spared the reputation of having a long life and many children?"

He Shi knew that if he spoke the truth, Qu Shi would definitely faint from anger, so he could only shake his head and say, "No."

Li Jingjing came in with a bamboo basket in both hands, which contained four small jars, and said, "Grandma, it's too dark, don't go out, let my little uncle deliver the medicine."

Qu Shi hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Little uncle, the two small black altars are filled with hemostatic powder, which can stop bleeding and prevent infection when applied to the wound. The two white altars are filled with pain-relieving and blood-activating ointment." Li Jingjing carefully explained to Li Qubing Instructed, and finally leaned down next to his ear and whispered: "I'm afraid that others will not dare to use it, so you just say it's the medicine made by Guangmingzi."

He Shi was worried that the four jars of medicine would not be enough, so he put the bowl of black ointment that Deng Shi had discarded into the basket, and spread a layer of oil paper on top to prevent water from entering.
