Chapter 56 Worry (Part 2)

The villagers love gossip the most. Just now, the atmosphere was very depressing because of Old Mrs. Zhao. When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but chat.

"Even though Cui is satisfied, her son may not be. She is a god-like person. Just looking at her makes her look like a painting."

"Tsk tsk, that's right, we've never seen such a good-looking person stuck in cow dung like this."

"Mr. Cui definitely doesn't like her."

Zhu was protecting Jiang Zhiluo, so she was not happy to hear these words. "Zhiluo is a good person, how can you say such things about her?"

"Bullying is not allowed in our village. If a village is not united, it is no longer called a village."

"Zhiluo is beautiful and kind-hearted, why is she not good?"

Zhu was the wife of the village head and had great prestige in the village, so no one dared to say anything.

Of course I couldn't help but make up a few sentences in my mind.

Everyone saw that when Mr. Cui married Jiang Zhiluo, his expression was cold and he didn't even smile.

That doesn't look like love at all.

Haven’t you seen other young men in the village get married with their teeth grinning so hard that they almost reach the back of their heads?

If you blush when someone makes a joke about you, that's how it looks like.

Mrs. Cui and Jiang Zhiluo didn't bother to argue with the villagers. The most important thing now was to save people.

When Jiang Zhiluo entered the room, Zhao Dalin, a 14-year-old boy, looked very thin and was secretly wiping his tears beside him.

Zhao Erlin was only eight years old and was crying so hard that he was out of breath.

Zhao Erlin stared blankly at a very pretty sister who came over and touched his head.

"Don't cry, your grandma will be fine."

Such gentle words made Zhao Erlin forget to cry and speak all of a sudden.

Zhao Dalin was even more stunned.

While they were stunned, Jiang Zhiluo had already stepped forward with a silver needle.

She used silver needles to seal Mrs. Zhao's blood channels to prevent the snake venom from spreading.

Then he helped Old Mrs. Zhao treat her wound again.

Then he used his wood-related abilities to force out some of the snake venom from Old Lady Zhao.

“Ahem…”

Old Mrs. Zhao calmed down a little and coughed slightly.

Her cough startled Zhao Dalin and Zhao Erlin.

"grandmother!"

Grandma was barely breathing just now, and the doctor said we should prepare for her funeral.

But now it seems that grandma has some strength in her coughing.

They believed Jiang Zhiluo's words even more.

He also gave her some spiritual spring water to drink.

Her wood-based ability is still too weak to cure Grandma Zhao completely, so she has to get some herbs now.

The people watching nearby were all shocked.

"No way, Zhiluo will really save people?"

"This is snake venom. If you get bit by a venomous snake, you'll die."

Why don’t the villagers dare to go to the back mountain to pick things? It’s because they are afraid of wild animals and poisonous snakes.

Some villagers who went to the back mountain before were bitten to death by poisonous snakes. Doctors couldn't do anything to help them.

"It was just a few coughs. I saved him as soon as I said I would."

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Give it a try, maybe it can be cured,' it's better than waiting for someone to die."

"Look at what you said. We are all from the same village. Naturally, I also hope that Aunt Zhao is doing well."

Mrs. Cui was now unhappy and said, "My daughter Zhiluo came here out of kindness to save people, but if she fails to save them, she will be blamed. At this rate, no one would dare to try even if there was a way."

"Sister Cui, that's not what we meant."

"Yes, yes."

Zhao Dalin came to his senses at this moment, knelt down, and said to Jiang Zhiluo: "Sister Jiang, I believe you, please save my grandma."

Zhao Dalin is fourteen years old. Children from poor families have to grow up early, and he is no longer sensible.

In the village, fifteen years old means you are an adult.

He knew that only if Sister Jiang could cure Grandma would there be a glimmer of hope. Even if it was just a small hope, he would give it a try.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at Zhao Dalin and thought he was a sensible and smart person.

She said, "I can only help your grandma delay for one night. I'll go find some herbs. Please help keep an eye on your grandma and don't let anyone touch her."

"As long as we gather all the herbs and give her the medicine, she'll be fine."

For Jiang Zhiluo, the snake bite could be cured, but the medical level in this era was backward, so she needed to find medicinal herbs.

She remembered that when she went to the back mountain to pick leeks, she seemed to have seen some medicinal herbs that could cure snake venom.

She knows how to go.

Zhao Dalin and Zhao Erlin didn't know why, but when they looked at Sister Jiang in front of them, they found her words very convincing.

Zhao Dalin nodded seriously.

Jiang Zhiluo was going to the back hills to collect herbs, and Old Madam Cui hurriedly said, "Zhiluo, I'll help you."

She was not at ease letting Zhiluo go to the mountain alone.

Jiang Zhiluo said, "Mom, my husband will be home soon. He'll be worried if no one's home. Go home and tell him that there's still some pig offal that hasn't been washed yet. I'll have to go home and help wash it."

Jiang Zhiluo knew that if Madam Cui just waited here, she would definitely be anxious. It would be better to let her go home and do something so that she wouldn't have any random thoughts.

"But……"

"Mom, it's okay. I saw the herbs before and I picked them up quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhu said hurriedly, "It's almost dark. How can I let you go up the mountain alone? I'll help you."

The women who were gossiping before now quickly responded, "We'll go with you. The back mountain is not safe."

"Yes, there is strength in numbers. When it gets dark, we can still light lamps."

Although everyone likes to gossip on a daily basis, they don't have bad intentions and are kind-hearted people when it comes to critical moments.

Jiang Zhiluo refused and quickly went up the mountain without giving anyone time to react.

It's not dark yet.

Jiang Zhiluo was very fast, but it would take her a while to get back after entering the back mountain.

…

Cui family

When Cui Hejin returned home from school, he saw his mother busy in the yard and called out to her.

Mrs. Cui responded absentmindedly and continued to clean the pig offal.

When Cui Hejin entered the room, he thought he would see her busy as before.

But not this time.

Cui Hejin couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, perhaps a little uncomfortable.

He turned around but didn't see Jiang Zhiluo.

He returned to the yard and looked at his mother who was silent for a while. He couldn't help but ask, "Mom, where did Zhiluo go?"

When talking about this, Madam Cui looked a little flustered and said, "He Jin, Zhiluo has gone to the back mountain to collect herbs. It's almost dark. What do you think we should do if she gets into danger?"

"How can I be worthy of her and you?"

"This child is so honest. Why didn't I react at the time? I should have accompanied her."

At that time, Mrs. Cui was in a panic. When she came to her senses, Zhiluo had already gone to the back mountain.

Didn't ask anyone for help.

Cui Hejin's delicate and gorgeous face instantly lost some of its color, turning slightly pale. His eyes trembled uncontrollably, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Mother, what did you say about picking herbs?"

Cui Hejin knew that to collect herbs, one had to go deep into the mountains, where there were either wild beasts or poisonous insects.

Mrs. Cui tried to calm herself down and explained the situation.

Cui Hejin didn't hesitate and said decisively: "I'll go to the back mountain."

Old Madam Cui was stunned for a moment, and naturally understood what her son meant. He was going to find Zhiluo.
