"It's so dark..."
Leading out the skinny donkey, Shen Qingyu took a deep breath: "Let's go! Mother will go find your father right away!"
They had the same fearless spirit as warriors going into battle.
Cheng Ping, who was inside the room, was slightly taken aback when he saw her tightly clenched fists: She's afraid of the dark?!
Walking on the dark mountain path, Shen Qingyu was both angry and frustrated!
"In this pitch-black sky, where am I supposed to find them..."
He kept muttering to himself the whole way, and it was hard to tell whether he was complaining or trying to bolster his courage.
After walking for more than half an hour, and seeing that we were almost at the town, we heard the sound of horses' hooves ahead.
Shen Qingyu quickly and tentatively called out, "Xiao Yunqi?"
"Yes!" came a reply from the other end.
It was Xiao Yunqi's voice.
Shen Qingyu was relieved: He's alright, he's back!
Shen Qingyu waited for Xiao Yunqi to come over, but found that Xiao Yunqi was sitting, while Shen Dasong was lying on the cart.
What's wrong with him?
Xiao Yunqi's voice was deep: "There was a landslide on the road. When we got out of the car to clear the rocks, some rocks fell down from above. He pushed me away and got hit on the head himself."
"Holy crap! So now... is he... still alive?"
"He's unconscious. We saw a doctor in town and got some medicine. As for the rest... we'll talk about it when we get back," Xiao Yunqi explained, without stopping.
Shen Qingyu panicked and told the skinny donkey to follow the carriage while she checked on Shen Dasong from inside the carriage.
Shen Dasong's pulse was not good. In the darkness, the only thing Shen Qingyu could do was to take advantage of the darkness to pour the spiritual spring water into Shen Dasong's mouth.
Fortunately, he could still swallow and drank a few mouthfuls of the spiritual spring water.
When the children saw that their mother had really brought their father back, they were relieved at first, but when they saw Shen Dasong, who was still unconscious, they panicked again.
By the light of the oil lamp, Shen Qingyu first used the spiritual spring water to clean Shen Dasong's wound to ensure that it would not fester. Then she took out the appropriate medicine (bought from the space mall) from the kitchen and handed it to Xiao Yunqi: "Go and brew the medicine. Also, crush this, soak it in wine with this fine cotton cloth, and then wrap it around his head wound."
Xiao Yunqi was shocked: "How do you have the medicine?"
Shen Qingyu remained expressionless: "When you went to the prefectural city, I went to the town. I was worried that things were unstable on the mountain recently, and I was afraid of another mudslide, so I bought some medicine beforehand..."
"Who knew I'd buy it during the day and use it that very night?!"
Xiao Yunqi: "..."
That's incredibly prescient!
After treating her wounds, Shen Qingyu finally had time to cook.
In the kitchen, Xiao Yunqi kept an eye on the stove fire for cooking and the small fire for simmering medicine, glancing at Shen Qingyu from time to time.
Why did you come to pick me up today?
Shen Qingyu glanced at the doorway, and the children's voices came from Wen Che's room before replying, "The children were afraid you were dead, and also afraid you had run away, so they insisted that I go look for you. They cried so much that my head hurts..."
Xiao Yunqi: "..."
I knew it would be like this.
She went out to look for herself because her head was hurt from the children's crying.
How could I be so stupid: I actually thought she was worried about me?
Shen Qingyu deftly and efficiently made pancakes, chopping green leafy vegetables and adding them to the batter, along with eggs and salt, before spreading the batter.
And another wild vegetable and meatball soup...
Simple yet nutritionally complete.
After feeding the three children, Xiao Yunqi went to deliver food to Cheng Ping.
Cheng Ping said pitifully, "Brother Xiao, it's very unlucky if this person dies here in the middle of the night."
Xiao Yunqi said calmly, "This is my home, and any bad luck is my family's business. It has nothing to do with you!"
Cheng Ping: "But I'll sleep here!"
Xiao Yunqi thought for a moment, then chuckled: "How about I put you in the pigsty and you sleep with the pigs? Pigs are very robust."
Holy crap!
Cheng Ping immediately smiled obsequiously: "It's alright, I'll take care of him. If anything happens, I'll call you."
Shen Dasong, who was in a coma: "..."
Listen to me say thank you.
Before going to bed, Shen Qingyu went to check on Shen Dasong and confirmed that his pulse had stabilized considerably before she felt at ease.
The next day, Liu Cuixi went to fetch water for Shen Qingyu's family, and the news that Shen Dasong had been injured spread around the well.
Xiao Yunqi went to the prefectural city early in the morning to deliver bean sprouts. When the village chief and the villagers came to see Shen Dasong, Shen Qingyu had already changed Shen Dasong's dressing.
"He hasn't woken up yet, but he's out of danger," Shen Qingyu explained simply.
"Oh dear! What kind of life is this! I just lost my wife and children, and now I've gotten myself into this state..."
"Luckily, Qingyu's family had a kind heart and helped him heal his injuries, otherwise he might have died!"
"Which doctor treated this? This kind of injury must have cost a lot of money, right?" Widow Xiao's first thought was money.
Both of her children were bruised in the mudslide, but she didn't dare to see a doctor for fear of wasting money.
Shen Qingyu smiled and said, "Five taels of silver..."
The price in the Space Mall: one tael of silver per dose of medicine, both internal and external, five doses of medicine cost five taels of silver.
"Hiss..." Someone gasped.
Five taels of silver!
The villagers couldn't even save five taels of silver a year!
Qingyu is so generous!
The crowd looked at Shen Qingyu with fervent eyes.
Seeing that something was wrong, Shen Qingyu immediately explained, "He saved the child's father's life, I'd give anything to save him!"
That makes sense.
Everyone nodded, exchanged a few more words of concern, and then dispersed.
Widow Xiao was reluctant to leave. She hesitated and asked Shen Qingyu, "Qingyu, look at Brother Dasong... he can't do the housework... how about I take over for him for a few days? I'll leave once he's better?"
Shen Qingyu looked at Widow Xiao in surprise.
