Having made up his mind, Shu Miao immediately climbed down from the wall, put the ladder back in place, and rushed to the main room without stopping.
Because the sound of running water was quite loud, Li Qiao was suddenly awakened. When she saw Shu Miao, her eyes were still a little dazed.
It was not until she saw her outfit that her thoughts gradually came back to her.
Shu Miao immediately went forward to help her sit up, took a look at the wound on her foot, and his excitement immediately wilted.
I sighed inwardly, how could I wade across the water when I was so badly injured?
What if the injured area gets infected in the water?
Although he thought so, Shu Miao still calmed down and then expressed his guess about the amount of water upstream.
Li Qiao was stunned at first when she heard that. The smile on her face was suddenly numbed by the sound of thunder.
The rain, which had just begun to subside, suddenly became heavier again.
Not only was Li Qiao very disappointed by this, but even Shu Miao couldn't hold it anymore.
Although the flow of the river has slowed down, it does not mean that the water diverted from the main river will definitely become less and less.
Not to mention that the rain shows no signs of stopping. Who would dare to stay in the house?
Besides, it’s probably already afternoon now, and if we wait any longer, it will get dark.
But it is precisely when it is dark that it is most dangerous. After all, you cannot see the rising river water after dark, and you may be drowned at any time if you stay in the house.
Thinking of this, Shu Miao was worried about the old lady's injury and could not say anything. She just silently put on her socks and tucked her trouser legs tightly.
Although this will rub the wound, it can at least filter out some dirt and gravel, and more or less reduce the chance of wound infection.
Li Qiao didn't say much and silently cooperated with her movements until the moment she got up from the ground. Her wound was soaked with water and her already weak face became even paler.
Shu Miao quickly supported her and helped her walk out.
At this time, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and the thunder was endless.
Shu Miao didn't have time to feel whether the water level of the river had risen or not. He just paid close attention to his feet, for fear of repeating the old lady's mistake.
You have to know that if one of them is a weak injured patient and the other is a half-grown child who can't swim, and they really fall into deep water, there will be no one to help them.
Of course, she could use the space to escape, but wouldn't that clearly expose her abnormality?
Although she knew that she would not be able to take care of so many things when it really came to that, wouldn't it be better for her to not suffer?
The two of them struggled to cross the ridge of the field, and when their feet landed at the foot of the mountain where there was no water, they both let out a long sigh of relief.
"Auntie, do we need to take a break before we continue?" Shu Miao said as he was about to help her sit down and rest for a while.
"No, we haven't been back for so long, Zili must be getting anxious waiting for us." Li Qiao quickly shook her head and expressed her concerns.
At the same time, his eyes swept over the two sacks of corn cobs on the ground, his heart filled with bitterness and helplessness.
Shu Miao noticed her gaze and patted his chest to make a promise.
"Auntie, let's go up first. Zili and I will work together later. We can definitely drag the things up the mountain by tying them up with ropes."
Li Qiao thought about it and sighed helplessly, and finally said nothing.
The main thing is that she also understood that if she really fell down, given the ethos of the Yanhe Brigade, wouldn't her two children be eaten alive?
She endured the pain and walked forward along the mountain road step by step with Shu Miao's support.
In the wind and rain, the two men walked exhausted to the "base"
Who knew that when I looked up, I saw Zili sleeping soundly with the iron pot under his body and leaning against the luggage.
Li Qiao's forehead was bulging with veins. He gritted his teeth and endured it again and again, finally refraining from cursing.
Shu Miao also admired his generosity, but since the man's mother didn't express any opinion, she decided to just pretend not to see it.
He helped the old lady pick a relatively flat stone to sit on, and then immediately helped her take off her straw sandals and wet socks.
It may be that the wound was rubbing against the socks too much. Shu Miao clearly felt that a piece of skin on the wound was stuck to the socks.
As the socks were taken off, the swollen wound became more and more bloody.
Li Qiaoze seemed to have expected this, he only frowned slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief as if he was finally free from the torture.
It seems that she is not feeling well either.
"Miao'er, help me find out if there is any purslane nearby." Perhaps he felt that his expression was not clear enough, so he added another sentence.
"It's better to use it for anti-inflammatory than to be like this all the time."
Shu Miao nodded in understanding and was about to agree when he suddenly remembered that the mercurochrome he had used when he had a head injury seemed to be not finished yet.
He slapped his forehead immediately and said, "Look at my memory. I still have some red medicine."
After he finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe to rummage through his backpack. With his back to the aunt, he took out the glass bottle with only the bottom left in the basket.
He looked at her with a happy face, "Look!"
Li Qiao looked at the girl with sparkling eyes and a happy smile. Her heart was warm, but she felt even more annoyed when she looked at her son who was sleeping and snoring beside her.
He nodded at her with a smile, but when he turned around, his face became very long and he slapped his son on the shoulder.
"Don't sleep! Get up and help me!"
Zili was so frightened by the slap that he trembled all over. When he saw his mother's dark face so close to him, he quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
His face immediately changed into a flattering smile, and he grinned brightly, "Mom, you're finally back, I..."
To prevent him from saying anything that would be like digging his own grave, Shu Miao quickly put the red medicine in front of him, frowned and glared at him.
"I asked you to apply medicine to Auntie, why are you still standing there?"
