Chapter 69 Wild Bee Stings to Death
After finishing the last bite of the bun, Du Jiang told his son: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much, I can bear it."
Seeing him finish eating, Du Wanwan walked aside and took a bowl. Yaya had already mixed the anti-inflammatory and painkiller with spiritual spring water and quietly placed them in the bowl.
Du Wanwan brought it over and handed it to Du Jiang without saying anything: "Drink it."
Du Jiang took the water from his daughter without asking any questions. He just tilted his head back and drank it. His mouth was dry after eating the buns, so he drank some water to moisten his throat.
The water was bitter and had tiny particles in it, but he didn't ask any questions. He just swirled the bottom of the bowl and drank it all up.
It took no more than half an hour from the time his leg was broken to the time it was reattached. If you hadn't been keeping an eye on Du Jiang's family, no one would have known that his leg was broken and reattached.
Du Wanwan's movements were quick, clean and neat, without any delay.
The duck meat was stewed in the evening. Du Wanwan picked up several pieces of duck meat and a duck leg for Du Jiang and coaxed him: "Dad! It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You have to nourish yourself well so that you can have a hope of recovering soon."
Du Jiang was embarrassed: "This is too much. Dad has eaten it all. What are you going to eat?"
Yao Meixian advised: "Yes, yes, we have it all, eat it quickly and listen to Dalang."
Du Wenjun also said: "Dad! The eldest brother in the family has the final say, just listen to him."
Du Wenguan and Du Wenhuo said nothing, and used duck claws to tease Xiao Si. The wolf cub had grown up a lot and could chew bones.
Du Xiuxiu held the pancake in her hand and treasured it very much. This was the first meal she had eaten in peace in five years. She was no longer afraid of anyone coming to arrest her.
The whole family urged him to eat, but Du Jiang finally fell silent under Du Wanwan's eager gaze and slowly began to eat. His daughter was afraid that he might hurt his legs and that his body couldn't handle it, so she wanted to give him some good nourishment.
But he felt that he was in good health, especially after taking the medicine, his legs didn't hurt at all, so he didn't need to replenish himself like this.
His daughter said that she wanted to eat some nourishing food, so she must eat some nourishing food. He didn't want to go against his daughter's filial piety.
The whole duck was stewed, and the whole family had a good meal, leaving some soup for pancakes the next morning. In the past, Yao Meixian would never have been willing to eat like this, but her daughter said that she would just eat to her heart's content.
A duck is a lot of meat, and there are quite a few people in the family. If everyone shared it, no one would get many pieces of good meat.
She doesn’t feel bad about eating it, as long as everyone in the family, big and small, is healthy.
Du Jiang's legs didn't hurt all night as he had a good sleep. Instead, the pain only started when he woke up the next day.
Du Wanwan was afraid that he couldn't bear it, so she gave him the medicine again and also made some ointments for him to apply.
The ointment was actually given by Yaya. She just mixed it up a few times and gave it to Du Jiang as if it was made by herself.
The ointment skin outside was bought from a pharmacy in Jing County. No one can tell the difference by switching the two.
Yao Meixian was making winter clothes for the children in her family during her free time. When Mrs. Qian heard about it, she volunteered to help.
Several women from Huojia Village also came to help. Some even asked Yao Meixian to give them some cloth. They didn't ask for new winter clothes, but at least they could add a little cloth to the hem of the clothes.
Du Wanwan generously took out a piece of cloth and asked Yao Meixian to divide it up as wages.
The women from Huojia Village who came to help were very grateful and felt that it was a good thing to have a good relationship with the Du family and they could get a lot of benefits.
After the clothes were finished, they had to make quilts. Several women from Huojia Village came to help every night with all their heart and soul. Yao Meixian felt embarrassed and declined several times.
After all, each person was given a few feet of cloth last time, which was almost enough to make winter clothes. If they made quilts, they would be at a loss.
"What's the harm? We don't have anything to do this late at night, Mrs. Du! Don't be so formal with us."
"Yes! We have been together for so long, we are just like sisters, there is really no need for outsiders."
"Your Dalang is a capable girl. I don't know which family will be able to afford such an outstanding girl in the future. We in Huojia Village can't find anyone who can match her."
"The elder one is too big, the younger one is too small, neither is suitable. The third son of Master Huo Wu is suitable. He was born as a scholar and is nineteen this year. But he has a bad fate. His wife died last year when she gave birth to a baby. Dalang was a second wife in the past, so I don't think it's appropriate."
Yao Meixian smiled but said nothing. Her daughter Wanwan would never become someone else's second wife.
Du Wanwan happened to hear this and immediately replied to the ladies, "I, Du Dalang, will never get married unless I meet someone I like."
Mrs. Qian said, "That's right. My lady's younger sister will never marry a mere scholar. Don't worry about it. Our Miss Du will have great luck in the future."
As soon as she opened her mouth, the women in Huojia Village dared not speak. Everyone knew that Yu Hanyan, who was sitting in the carriage, was the mistress of a wealthy family. Du Dalang had acknowledged her as his godparent, so he would definitely have a good future.
What's the point of worrying about nothing? It also depends on whether Du Dalang agrees or not.
Huo Qingxiang, who was eavesdropping in the dark, sneered after hearing what Mrs. Qian said: "A village girl doesn't look like a prince even if she wears a dragon robe. How dare she ask for luck?"
Ever since she saw the difference between Ye Tingxiao's treatment of Du Wanwan and her last time, she has been particularly jealous of Du Wanwan. The Prince of Pingyang Marquis had a pair of beautiful eyes that he could not see the good in her.
I just know how to stick to Du Wanwan. Am I any worse than her? When I see him again, I must tell him about Du Wanwan's cruel and violent side.
How can a person who can break her father's legs be a virtuous woman?
Would the prince of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion be on good terms with her?
Whenever she saw Du Wanwan being humiliated, Huo Qingxiang felt that she had let out the anger in her heart. She liked to squat quietly by the side and secretly observe Du Wanwan's every move.
When the Prince of Pingyang arrives, I must find an opportunity to tell him her true side so that he can see clearly what kind of person this woman is.
Du Wanwan had no idea of Huo Qingxiang's plan, and she wouldn't be afraid even if she knew. She didn't care about Ye Tingxiao's opinion of her. She just wanted to get to Liang County as soon as possible so that she could find a place to settle down. It was almost the end of the year.
Don't spend the New Year on this road of fleeing famine, it's too miserable.
This was her first year in the ancient times, and it was too depressing not to be able to spend it in the wilderness.
She wanted to spend the New Year at home, take out the good things in Yaya's hands, have a good time, and celebrate the first New Year's Eve since her rebirth.
It has been almost a month since I left Jing County. At noon that day, while walking, the retired soldiers in front of me suddenly stopped. Some of them were vaguely running back, shouting as they ran: "Don't go forward. There is Wild Bee Ridge ahead. There are wild bees. They have stung several people to death."
"What? There are wild bees? Why are there wild bees?"
