Ye Meizi applied the badger oil to Li Pozi's legs with the slightest movement.
Country people use this for burns and scalds. It is very effective in cooling, reducing swelling and relieving pain. Usually only hunters have badger oil.
Mrs. Li was in so much pain that her eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth all moved to the middle of her face and gathered together, as if her facial features were holding a private meeting.
After finally finishing the application, Ye Meizi, who was sweating profusely, breathed a sigh of relief:
"Auntie Li, did Qin Rongsheng overturn the pot? Why did he do this?"
Mrs. Li gnashed her teeth and said, "It wasn't Qin Rongsheng who lifted the lid. It was Li Dahua. She was so cruel. She wanted to burn me to death."
Ye Meizi was shocked: "Why would Dahua be so cruel?"
Mrs. Li recounted what had happened.
Ye Meizi sighed: "These days, in the face of hunger, some people have lost their humanity and are no longer human.
Fortunately, Xiao Nian looks like you, not her mother."
When Xiao Nian was mentioned, Mrs. Li's pain seemed to be relieved a little, at least her mouth returned to its original position:
"Even if I risk my life, I won't let them take Xiao Nian back and sell her off."
Ye Meizi almost blurted out something, but after thinking about it, she felt that she couldn't just answer it like that. It would be safer to wait until Mrs. Li recovered from her injury and then ask someone.
Ye Meizi stayed with Li Pozi all the time, wanting to wait for Qin Nian to come back before going back.
Qin Nian carried a small basket to the foot of the mountain. Like in the past, there were many people with their heads down, struggling to find various wild vegetables.
Even if it is a small plant, it must be dug out.
Due to years of drought, the grass in May turned yellow and withered, just like the hearts of these poor people, without the color of life.
Qin Nian slowly climbed up along the narrow mountain road. She carefully observed the grass around her to see if there were any green spots.
After a long time, Qin Nian finally reached the place where she and Geng Feng hunted wild boars. She was covered in sweat.
The mountain road became more difficult to walk on, but Qin Nian did not stop. There was space anyway, so he could rush in if he encountered danger.
She walked into the mountains for a long time and when she felt quite tired, Qin Nian decided to take a break.
There should be wild boars nearby. In order to prevent being suddenly attacked, she climbed up a high rock and sat down to rest.
The warm sunshine in May shines on my body, and the comfort it brings is better than the best masseur.
The wind was neither cold nor chilly, it just blew gently through Qin Nian's hair, which felt wonderful.
Qin Nian closed his eyes slightly, raised his head comfortably, and enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.
After a while, she suddenly heard a rustling sound.
Qin Nian opened her eyes immediately. She was delighted: The sound of water? Is there really a spring nearby? Did I really find it?
She was a little bit unbelieving.
She listened again and found that it was indeed the sound of the spring. Qin Nian's breathing became rapid. Just as she was about to go further in to look for the spring, she suddenly heard someone calling her from below.
The voice was far away: "Xiao Nian, Xiao Nian, where are you? If you hear me, answer me, Xiao Nian——"
Geng Feng? He wants to talk to me about something?
Qin Nian quickly jumped down from the big rock and answered loudly: "Geng Feng, I'm up there, where we hunt wild boars."
If there is really a spring here, I can find it next time. Now I have to go down first. Geng Feng came to the mountain to find her, so he must have something to do.
Qin Nian thought that Geng Zhenhai's leg injury was serious.
When they came to the wild boar hunting place again, Qin Nian and Geng Feng met: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Something's going on."
Geng Feng remembered what Granny Li had told him, and spoke slowly, "Your grandmother's right leg is burned."
Qin Nian was shocked: "Did you get burned by the stewed pork bones? Did you add too much water and it overflowed and got burned?"
Geng Feng shook his head, still speaking slowly: "Your parents went there and had a fight with your grandmother, and everything went wrong."
Geng Feng was afraid that Qin Nian would be angry and embarrassed, so he didn't say that it was Li Dahua who deliberately overturned the pot and scalded Li Pozi.
Qin Nian's eyes were filled with panic: "Is it serious?"
She knew the seriousness of the burns. She was currently short of food and clothing, and had only two taels of silver in her hand, which was probably not enough to treat the burns.
“My mother told me to come find you, but I was so anxious that I didn’t see Grandma Li’s burned legs.
It shouldn’t be too serious. I have badger oil at home. I think my mother can help Grandma Li apply it.”
"Let's go back."
After saying this, Qin Nian hurried down the mountain.
Geng Feng took the basket from her hand and was surprised to see that there was not a single wild vegetable in it. He climbed so high up but found nothing?
The two of them came back as quickly as possible. When they entered the room, Qin Nian saw Mrs. Li's injured right calf.
It was covered with badger fat and was very horrible.
Mrs. Li pretended that it didn’t hurt much: “Don’t worry, Xiao Nian, it’s just a few blisters.
Your Aunt Geng helped me apply badger oil, and it will be healed in a few days."
"grandmother."
Qin Nian took a deep breath and said, "Qin Rongsheng and Li Dahua came here, and you fought with them? Did you overturn the pot and burn yourself?"
Hearing Qin Nian ask this, Mrs. Li was delighted.
She was still regretting it just now, and kept talking to Ye Meizi, telling her not to let Qin Nian know that Qin Rongsheng and Li Dahua were here, otherwise Qin Nian would definitely go and settle the score with Qin Rongsheng and Li Dahua.
Without her as a capable helper, Qin Nian would not be able to defeat that family.
Now it seems that Geng Feng did not tell Qin Nian that it was Li Dahua who permed her. Mrs. Li praised Geng Feng in her heart, saying that the boy was quite serious.
Because she was happy, Mrs. Li forced a smile on her face:
"Xiao Nian, you didn't see it, Li Dahua's eyes were fixed on our pot lid, as if to hook out the bones.
I hate the way she is, so I'll do what you do and hit her ears with an oak stick.
She dodged to the side, and I missed the shot. She fell down and overturned the pot, causing blisters to form on her.”
Qin Nian knew that if the burn was not serious, there was no need for bandaging, and exposure therapy was more conducive to wound healing.
However, moderate and severe burns need to be bandaged after applying medicine, which can protect the wound, reduce the risk of infection, and relieve pain.
Grandma's injury is quite serious and needs to be bandaged.
Qin Nian's eyes fell on Ye Meizi's face: "Aunt, give me a piece of white cloth from your house. If the burn is serious, it needs to be bandaged."
"Hey, I'll go back and get the white cloth."
Mrs. Li said hurriedly, "Xiao Nian, your Aunt Geng was applying medicine to me just now, and she was so nervous that she was sweating all over.
Let her sit down and relax for a while, you and Geng Feng go get the white cloth."
Qin Nian quickly agreed: "Okay, I'll go get it."
As soon as the two of them left, Mrs. Li smiled and said to Ye Meizi, “Meizi, Geng Feng is a serious guy who didn’t tell Qin Nian that it was Li Dahua who scalded me.
You can tell Geng Feng later not to let anything slip in the future. When my leg is healed, I will go to settle accounts with Li Dahua. "
Ye Meizi smiled: "Auntie Li, don't worry, I will tell Geng Feng well."
After a few words, Qin Nian came back with two pieces of white cloth. Qin Nian took out the needle first, heated it over the fire, and punctured the big blister on Li Po's leg to let the water inside flow out, and then bandaged Li Po's scalded leg.
