The eldest son of the Ding family, his wife and children, slept next to him at night, so it wasn't a big deal that they were dug out now, just some minor scratches.

But the situation on Old Man Ding's side was more serious, because no sound came from there from beginning to end.

The villagers arrived one after another, and Tian Cai saw Qin Ling in the crowd, and even the male educated youth in the team came.

As more manpower was added, Old Man Ding and his wife were quickly dug out.

Seeing their expressions, Boss Ding knelt down first, followed by the second, third, and fourth Boss Ding.

There was a big hole in the old couple's head caused by the collapsed rocks, and blood mixed with brain matter was flowing everywhere. Their faces were pale and it seemed that they had been dead for a long time.

Zhang Defa had a gloomy face. Although he liked to criticize Lao Dingtou from time to time, he still wondered how it happened so suddenly when the man passed away.

Tian Cai didn't need to get involved in what happened next. The wound she had just bandaged for Boss Ding was soaked by the rain again. He wouldn't listen to anything you said at this time, and no one could stop him from showing his last filial piety as a son.

Tian Cai simply left a small bottle of medicine to Mrs. Ding, gave her a few instructions, and then went home with the medicine box.

The rain was not heavy at that time, and Old Man Ding's funeral was not urgent. Zhang Defa asked a few people to stay and help, and let the rest go back first.

After returning home and washing himself briefly, Tian Cai lay back on the kang and took a nap, which lasted until dawn.

The rain gradually stopped in the morning, and Tian Cai followed the villagers to Ding's house.

Boss Ding's house collapsed and there were no extra rooms in the house, so Zhang Defa arranged for them to live in the house of the butcher, Lao Wang, next door.

As soon as the rain stopped, the Ding family set up a shed, and the old man Ding and his wife were changed into clothes by their son and daughter-in-law and moved into the coffin. The grandchildren also saw the bloody appearance of the two, and some of the timid ones were so scared that they turned pale.

Tian Cai was not afraid. He had seen many people jumping off buildings before, so this was nothing.

She followed the villagers and bowed to the coffins of the two old people according to the rules. The four brothers of the Ding family returned the greetings, and then registered the gift list with the person in charge of accounting nearby. After completing this set of procedures, she went back directly.

It had just rained, and there were puddles everywhere on the village roads. Many children had already come out to play, but the adults drove them to the other side to play, for fear that they would bump into the place where someone had just died.

The weather is too hot to keep them here, and Tian Cai estimates that Old Man Ding and his wife will have to be buried within two days.

When she got home, she saw Qin Ling digging a ditch next to her house with a shovel. The rain was so heavy this time that the mud on both sides of the road was washed into the ditch, causing the water level in the drainage ditch to rise, and the water overflowed onto the ground in low-lying areas. She had planned to do it herself after visiting Lao Ding's house.

The rain only lasted for two nights and one day, so not much of the food that Tian Cai had prepared was eaten. She was afraid that it would not be kept, so she planned to give some to Qin Ling, and a lot of it was brought by him.

Qin Ling hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

Tian Cai packed the food into a cloth bag and was about to hand it to Qin Ling when Liu Guihua came with her youngest son.

"Doctor Xiaotian, Doctor Xiaotian, please come quickly and help me see what's wrong with my son. He has been hiccupping since early this morning." If her son hadn't been feeling unwell, she would have gone to Lao Ding's house to see what was going on, oh no, to help.

"Burp, Tian, ​​burp, sister, woooo." The little boy looked at Tian Cai aggrievedly, and burped every now and then, unable to speak fully.

"Doctor Xiaotian, please take a look at what's wrong with him. He told me that he didn't eat anything secretly!" The saying here is that hiccups are caused by eating good things secretly. Liu Guihua tried various methods on him, such as holding his breath, swallowing a mouthful of water several times, and patting him suddenly. Not only did the child not get better, but it seemed to be even worse.

Tian Cai took the little boy's hand and led him over. She looked at his face and felt his pulse. "Be good, stick out your tongue for me to see."

"Ah——" the little boy opened his mouth obediently.

Tian Cai looked around and saw nothing unusual. She noticed the little boy's bulging belly, so she reached over and touched it. "Auntie, when did you have breakfast? What did you eat?"

Liu Guihua thought of something and said with an evasive look, "It was just an ordinary farm meal this morning. Nothing special. It's the same thing we eat every day!"

"I had stewed chicken this morning, and I also ate two big bowls of it in soup!" Liu Guihua had just finished speaking when she didn't expect her son to reveal her secret.

Tian Cai glanced at her with a half-smile, really not understanding. If she wanted to eat meat, she could just say she wanted to eat meat. She wouldn't be greedy. It seemed like she was on guard against others.

"Okay, I almost understand." Tian Cai went back to the house and took out a bottle of hawthorn pills to aid digestion and handed them to the child. "This is for you. You can take up to two pills per meal, twice a day. If you take it now, the hiccups will go away soon."

"Thank you, burp, sister!" The little boy frowned, "But, burp, I don't like taking bitter medicine."

"This isn't bitter. It's a hawthorn pill, sour and sweet." Tian Cai took the medicine bottle from him, poured out a pill, and put it into the little guy's mouth. "Is it delicious?"

The little guy opened his eyes wide, attracted by the taste in his mouth. It was really not bitter, but sour and sweet like sugar. It was so delicious!

Then Liu Guihua discovered that her son would burp a few times at first, but the intervals between burps became longer and longer, and soon the burps stopped.

"It's really healed!" Liu Guihua said in surprise. Last time, when her daughter's throat was choked by an apricot, it was Tian Cai who helped her. This time, because her son kept hiccuping, she thought of asking her to take a look. And it really is healed!

Now that her son was well, Liu Guihua finally had the leisure to complain about it being useless. She glanced at Qin Ling standing over there and said meaningfully, "Oh, I just saw that Qin Ling is here again!"

Tian Cai also followed his gaze towards the kitchen. "Well, there's nothing I can do. I saved him twice and he knows how to be grateful. He insisted on helping me with the work. Auntie, the medicine will cost five cents."

"We are neighbors and we have to pay for the medicine. Besides, I can make hawthorn balls even if you don't prescribe it. You just find it troublesome." Liu Guihua was not happy when she heard about the medicine fee. In her opinion, it was obvious that hawthorn balls were made of hawthorn, and hawthorn was everywhere in the mountains. She even charged money for a snack for the children. It turned out that outsiders only cared about money.

Tian Cai glanced at her indifferently and said, "It's okay if you don't have money. We are all from the same village. The captain also agreed. It's enough for you to come and help me with some work occasionally. I don't need you for heavy work like chopping wood. Washing clothes and sweeping the yard will also be fine."

The old doctor in Kaoshan Village did the same thing. After all, there were families in the village with poor conditions, and he was old. Some people who remembered his kindness would occasionally go to help with the work. Even the old doctor's body was discovered by the Hu brothers who were helping with the work.

Liu Guihua's face froze, and she took out some money from her pocket awkwardly. "I was just joking. Who doesn't have this little money?"
