Chapter 16 Punishment
After that, she comforted Zhang Dajun: "Dajun, don't listen to their nonsense, mother has a way."
"Mom, what can you do?"
Zhang Tianfu wiped his nose and looked up in surprise.
Zhao Chunhua didn't say much. She quickly tore off a corner of her clothes, pulled off a piece of cloth, and tied Zhang Dajun's arm tightly to prevent the poison from spreading further.
I just saw that the snake that bit Zhang Dajun was not very poisonous. As long as the wound is treated properly, it will not be fatal.
"Mom, what are you doing? The army is almost dead, and you're still letting him suffer like this?"
Seeing that Zhang Dajun's arms were so bruised that they turned purple, Zhang Tianbao couldn't help but say.
"If you don't understand, don't interrupt. Just stay away."
Zhao Chunhua glared at him unhappily and said, "Hurry up and bring the water bag over."
Zhang Tianbao didn't dare to say anything more and quickly handed the water bag on his waist to Zhao Chunhua.
They had been walking in the mountains for two hours and there was not much water left in their water bags.
But it is enough to wash the wound.
Zhao Chunhua rinsed Zhang Dajun's wound repeatedly with water.
"Look, Dajun's wound doesn't seem so swollen anymore!"
Zhang Youcai screamed.
The others all lowered their heads to look at the wound.
Sure enough, although the wound was still red, the swelling had indeed subsided a little.
Seeing that the clean water was useful, they hurriedly handed the water bags to Zhao Chunhua.
"Auntie, there is some water here, take it."
Seeing this scene, Zhao Chunhua felt slightly moved.
"No."
Water alone cannot detoxify.
"You guys take care of the army, I'll go look for some herbs that can be used."
After saying that, Zhao Chunhua stood up and started looking for it.
It is said that where there are poisonous snakes, the antidote can be found within seven steps.
Sure enough, Zhao Chunhua found the half-branch lotus nearby not long after.
She hurriedly dug out the half-branch lotus, picked two leaves, chewed them up, applied them to Zhang Dajun's wound, and then bandaged it with a cloth strip.
After doing all this, Zhao Chunhua wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Okay, the army is fine."
After saying that, she carefully put away the half-branch lotus.
This Scutellaria barbata can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also stop bleeding and reduce swelling. It is very effective for wounds caused by bites from poisonous snakes or insects.
It's almost May.
May is known as the month of "poisonous creatures", as there are many insects and snakes.
Unfortunately, there is only one plant of Hemiptera, and after Zhang Dajun used it all up, there are probably only a few leaves left.
It would be great if we could find a few more.
This way, family members are protected and if they are bitten, they can use medicine immediately.
Just as she was thinking about it, Zhao Chunhua suddenly had an idea and remembered her mysterious space.
She had harvested a piece of wheat field in it before, and hadn't planted anything else yet, so it was a perfect place to grow some herbs.
Although the effects of herbs you grow yourself may not be as good as those in the wild, you can get them immediately when you need them, which is much more convenient.
Thinking of this,
Zhao Chunhua quietly put the half-branch lotus into her space.
"mother."
At this moment, Zhang Tianfu suddenly shouted, which scared her.
"You're going to scare me to death!"
Zhao Chunhua stroked her chest and looked at him with dissatisfaction.
"Mom, why do you have so many things?"
Zhang Tianfu looked at her straight in the eye and said, "You're making a unicycle again, and you know about masks. Now you even know about herbs?"
Having said that, he took a half step back and took a deep breath.
"Are you my mother or not? I remember you didn't understand these things before."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Zhao Chunhua in astonishment.
Zhang Tianbao and Zhang Dajun, in particular, felt a little scared.
How could their mother have had such ability before?
Zhang Tianfu continued speaking.
"Also, why can you always conjure up jerky for us to eat?"
When he said this, his voice was trembling.
He even searched all the bags, but couldn't find a single piece of dried meat.
It was as if Zhao Chunhua had transformed into something.
"You... Where did you come from? Why are you possessed by our mother?"
Zhang Tianfu felt scared and his legs began to tremble.
The others also felt a chill and took a few steps back in fear.
Zhang Tianbao felt cold on the soles of his feet and his scalp was tingling.
How could my mother, who is usually so stingy, give them dried meat every day?
Only Zhang Dajun, who has always been very filial, was unwilling to believe it.
"Second brother, stop talking nonsense, this is our mother!"
"Da Jun, are you confused? Lao Er is right. When has our mother ever understood these things? The man in front of us is most likely an evil ghost who has taken over our mother's body and wants to harm us!"
Zhang Tianbao pulled the stubborn Zhang Dajun away.
At this time, the sun was blocked by clouds. Without the sunlight, the forest became gloomy and terrifying.
Zhao Chunhua stood in the shadow with an unsightly expression, looking even more sinister.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Who else could I be if I'm not your mother?"
Zhao Chunhua's forehead twitched suddenly, but she immediately calmed herself down, raised her hand angrily and hit Zhang Tianfu and the others.
"Look at how I teach you a lesson, you unfilial people! How dare you speak ill of me behind my back!"
Her slaps and fists rained down on them, making them scream in pain.
But Zhao Chunhua had no intention of stopping and became more and more excited as she fought.
"You are all so ungrateful! I worked so hard to raise you, but you don't even recognize your own mother! You even said I was a ghost! I will teach you a lesson!"
Zhao Chunhua put her hands on her hips, pointed at their faces and cursed them one by one.
"Back then, I sold my only bracelet so that you could get married! I never thought I would raise such an ungrateful bunch of you! How dare you call me a ghost!"
"And you, you've never been a worry to me since you were little. You caused Dadong's son to fall off the hillside. If I hadn't risked my life to plead for you, you would have been punished by Dadong a long time ago!"
As soon as Zhao Chunhua opened her mouth, she told almost all the embarrassing things that happened in their childhood.
Zhang Tianbao and Zhang Tianfu had been hit several times and ran away with their heads in their hands and their teeth bared.
When Zhao Chunhua mentioned these things, his face turned as red as a cooked shrimp.
"Mom, stop hitting me! We know we were wrong!"
Zhang Tianbao was panting heavily, supporting himself on his knees and begging desperately.
Damn, he has such great physical strength. He kept muttering and hitting with his hands. After these few hits, his whole body was in so much pain that it almost fell apart.
Zhang Tianfu was also in a horrible state. Because of his poor health, he was beaten the most.
"Mom! Please stop hitting me. I know I was wrong and I won't do it again..."
The only one who was not hit was the injured Zhang Dajun.
Zhao Chunhua still showed mercy to him.
Several other young men stood aside and gasped in fear when they saw how miserable the three Zhang brothers were.
Fortunately, this is not their biological mother.
"Aunt Zhao, please stop hitting me."
Zhang Youcai plucked up the courage to step forward and hold Zhao Chunhua's hand.
Zhao Chunhua finally got tired and stopped.
