sister-in-law

Chapter 30
Su Ruoli had a sore nose, choked up and said, "Thank you sister-in-law!"

There is no need to be hypocritical at this time, although it is still hot, but the wind is strong at the foot of the mountain at night, without a quilt, you will definitely catch a cold.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus's family is not well-off, so she remembered this kindness.

She hurriedly knelt down and took a bunch of meat and handed it to sister-in-law Osmanthus, "This is wild boar from the mountains, sister-in-law, try it."

Sister-in-law Osmanthus had seen wild boars on the ground a long time ago. They are so big that they can be eaten for many days.It's just that it's hot and can't last long.

She took a bite of the meat skewers, her mouth full of oil.She, who hadn't seen meat for a long time, couldn't help biting.After eating, I didn't bother to wipe the corners of my mouth with the back of my hand, and gave them advice, "This pork can't be left out, it must be marinated quickly, or it will stink tomorrow."

Of course Su Ruoli knew, but where did the salt come from now?

Sister-in-law Osmanthus had tasted it when she ate meat just now, how could she not know their embarrassment?

So he hurriedly said with a smile: "Sister-in-law will bring you some salt later."

Su Ruoli knew that Sister-in-law Osmanthus's family needed food and clothing all by herself doing embroidery and sewing for the big families in the town, not to mention the fact that salt was expensive now, so she was really embarrassed.

After thinking about it, she took a machete and chopped off a hind leg and handed it to Sister-in-law Osmanthus, "Sister-in-law, take this back leg back."

At this time, people can see people's hearts the most.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus insisted on not accepting it, "You young couple have just separated and have nothing, so let's save the meat and sell it."

Su Ruo couldn't let go of his guilt, so he said: "Maomao is seriously ill and weak, sister-in-law take it back and stew it to make up for the child." Sister-in-law Osmanthus felt sorry for her son, so she accepted it.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back, Gu Zhang remembered something, and suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened to the village's gongs?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Sister-in-law Osmanthus turned pale, and said in a low voice: "Seven or eight children in the village are as sick as Mao Mao, and are unconscious. Many people say that the evil spirits in the mountains have come out to cause trouble. Lizheng invited the town The Great Immortal from above is here to catch ghosts..."

After finishing speaking, she looked panic-stricken, looked around the dark surroundings, and hurriedly ran away as if in a panic.

Su Ruoli and Gu Zhang looked at each other, feeling a little terrified.But she was not frightened, these seven or eight children fell ill, it was obvious that the encephalitis had spread, these villagers did not invite a doctor to see them, but believed in ghosts and gods, delaying the children would be troublesome.

She was a little upset, and said in a heavy tone: "What ghost hunting? The children are obviously sick, and they have the same disease as Mao Mao. If you delay it, you will die."

Gu Zhang stared at the pitch-black Gujia Village dormant like a giant beast in the distance, with a trace of pain in his eyes, and said hoarsely: "They would rather believe in ghosts and gods than people, what can they do?"

Both of them were working in silence, listening to the earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums in the night sky from time to time.

In the air, there was no wind at all, and it was so hot that it flowed oily.

At dawn, Gu Zhang finally built the house.

Su Ruoli walked over and looked at it carefully, feeling a huge surprise in his heart.

This young man is really ingenious. The house is in the shape of a pointed dome, surrounded by wooden piles for a week. Because the ground is relatively humid, the house is about half the height of a person from the ground. A simple and small ladder is made of a few pieces of wood at the door for easy access. .

Gu Zhang stood at the door, looked at Ruoli who opened his mouth wide open with a smile, and invited with a smile, "Let's take a look inside."

When Su Ruoli went inside, he saw a bright room facing him, and there were "wings" in the east and west.

Gu Zhang pointed to the east "wing" and introduced, "This is your room."

After entering, a simple wooden bed was placed near the window, covered with a layer of soft hay, and an old mattress sent by my sister-in-law Osmanthus fragrans.

A few pieces of wood made a simple small bedside table, and there was a basin stand at the door...

After one night of effort, this guy managed to do this?Really powerful.

This is simply a "air villa".

It's just that the problem of going to the toilet and washing has not been solved. Fortunately, it's easy to solve in hot weather. Let's wait for them to clean up slowly.

"Are you satisfied?" Gu Zhang approached Su Ruoli and asked in a low voice.After working all night, his eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse, but he was full of energy. In the morning light, his face had a layer of divine luster.

Su Ruoli pursed her lips excitedly, and smiled shyly, "Satisfied." This is their new home, and from now on, there will only be the two of them.

"Let's take a rest first, and when it's dawn, I'll tidy up a dresser in your room and come out."

Gu Zhang said warmly, pulling Su Ruoli down the wooden ladder.

At daybreak, sister-in-law Osmanthus came over with a pack of salt in her hand, and helped Su Ruoli divide the pork into several large pieces, salted them, picked them out with wooden sticks and put them in the thatched hut to dry in the air.

Su Ruoli asked some more about Maomao's situation, and after washing their faces with Gu Zhang in the stream, they were about to go up the mountain to dig herbs.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of boiling in the village, buzzing like a boiling porridge pot.

The three couldn't help getting up at the same time, Sister-in-law Osmanthus was worried about Maomao, Su Ruoli was thinking about the sick children in the village, and Gu Zhang also wanted to see what happened, so the three rushed to the village together by coincidence inside.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus returned home, and Su Ruoli dragged Gu Zhang towards the sound of the village.

From a distance, one can see the blackness of human heads, and the faint sound of chanting can be heard.

It wasn't until we squeezed into the crowd that we saw a high platform in the middle, on which a tall man wearing a black velvet cloak was shaking a purple-gold brass bell in his hand, murmuring incessantly with his eyes closed. .

It turned out that this was the Daxian who had been invited.

Surrounding him were several tightly wrapped children, all of whom were wrapped in big red cloth. The oldest was about four or five years old, and the youngest was only two or three years old. , Some of these children were lethargic, and some were foaming at the corners of their mouths. The symptoms were different.

Su Ruoli quietly approached the high platform, and carefully checked the symptoms of the children, all of them were encephalitis without exception.

These villagers don't treat the child, relying on the Daxian's method here, the child will die sooner or later.

Her heart was beating wildly, struggling, should she save these children?If they come to the rescue, will these people believe her?Will this immortal be angry because she stole his "business"? ...

She is a weak woman, if she showed her medical skills, would these people burn her like a monster?

I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to carry out the medical skills that Kong has all over his body!
For the first time, Su Ruoli was helpless in this ignorant and backward era.

In the end, the benevolence of a doctor prevailed.

She rubbed her hands, swallowed, pushed herself on the edge of the high platform, and jumped up.

Daxian, who was doing this at a critical juncture, felt a shock from the high platform, and opened his triangular eyes in displeasure, and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl standing in front of him, her face turned pale with anger.

Under the platform, the villagers couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the girl who came up suddenly.

What's wrong with this girl?Could it be that he was bewitched?
