Chapter 194: So many people gathered here, are they here for a funeral?
"Ugh..." The blood-soaked man lying on the bench let out another suppressed groan of pain. The blue-gray color on his face became even thicker, and he already exuded the aura of death.
He exposed his shirt and his chest and abdomen. A long and deep wound ran from the left side of his abdomen to above his heart, almost splitting him in half.
——If you delay any longer, this Dogecoin will be gone.
Du Lao's words rang in her ears again. Su Xiu'er's breathing became rapid. Finally, she made up her mind, bit the tip of her tongue hard, and used the pain to calm herself down.
She no longer looked at the man's pale face. Her gaze was fixed on the hideous wound. She washed her hands using the method taught by Du Lao before inserting the needle.
As the first needle penetrated the skin, the psychological barrier was broken and the needle began to move rapidly.
Just pretend you are sewing clothes!
"I'll stitch up your wounds. Just bear with it. As long as you can hold on, you'll survive."
"I don't know where you were attacked, but since you ran to Tubei Village for help, you must want to stay alive, right?"
"Hold on, you must hold on..."
The bearded man seemed to have stepped through the gates of hell several times and suffered all kinds of torture in the eighteen levels of hell.
The feeling was so intoxicating that he almost lost his soul.
There was a voice chattering in my ears.
The bearded man was in so much pain that his muscles were tense and veins on his neck were bulging. He felt drowsy and used up all his strength to resist the severe pain and coldness in his body. He didn't even have the energy to utter a single word.
He barely managed to open his eyes a crack, and his eyelids bounced back in an instant.
The moment he lost consciousness, his teeth were forcefully pried open and a mass of foul-smelling, soft, and gooey stuff was stuffed into his mouth.
Immune to poison... When I get better, I'll kill you!
The bearded man tilted his head and fainted completely.
"You're saved. You bastard! You wasted a bunch of my good herbs." Du Buqin stuffed all the hastily ground medicine into the bearded man's mouth, pressed his throat with a slender spoon to induce him to swallow consciously. His previously calm face regained its nonchalant tone. "Baby, let's write down the bill and give it to him later to make him return the herbs!"
Tianbao nodded, "Okay!"
Su Xiuer gathered the thread and tied a knot for the last stitch.
After cutting the thread, he could no longer hold on. His legs gave way and he sat down on the ground. He raised his handsome face, which was still pale and covered in sweat, and said, "Master Du, I tried my best. Is this okay?"
The old man put his hands on his hips and laughed, "Alright! You're much better than my old man!"
Even if it fails, the scar will be on Big Beard, which is none of his business.
A smile spread across Su Xiuer's face. Although she was useless, she felt a great sense of satisfaction when she could be of some help.
The old man looked at her like this and snorted with a smile, "Don't always think that you are useless. You are not redundant. How about I ask you to help take care of the medicine garden? Medicinal herbs are as precious to me as my life."
"Auntie, great!"
The small speaker was next to the woman's ear. Su Xiuer tilted her head, and saw the serious face of their little sweet baby.
Su Xiuer chuckled, hugged the little girl in her arms, and gently leaned her head on her small shoulder, "Well, Auntie is useful, great."
No one knows that she is actually sensitive and inferior.
The daughter who married out asked to be divorced on her own initiative. Now she is almost thirty years old and still relies on her parents, brother and sister-in-law for care and support.
She knew that her family would never think she was redundant, but she would feel ashamed.
So she never lets herself be idle. As long as she is not resting, she will find things to do at home, in order to repay the love and tolerance of her relatives, and also to prove that she is not redundant, really not redundant.
"Don't sit on the ground. It's October. Won't it be cold sitting on the ground? Girls don't like to be cold." The old man put his hands behind his back and went to open the door of the drugstore. The scene outside was also reflected in the door frame, "..."
The small door frame was packed with people, all looking forward to it.
The old man put his hands on his hips and said, "So many people gathered here, are you here for a funeral?"
Everyone, “…”
Su An rushed out of the crowd and rushed to the old man, "Grandpa Du, how is it? Did you rescue Uncle Beard?"
"Look for yourself, little brat! He's lying there, barely breathing. ... Hey, hey, hey, don't go in! That bearded guy is more fragile than tiles right now. He'll die if you touch him!"
Xiao Su's family looked at the old man and the boy jumping up and down, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
None of them knew Big Beard. Like the villagers, they had only heard of him by name and had many grudges against each other.
If you look into it carefully,... Big Beard lost many of his men in Tubei Village.
To be honest, Big Beard probably hated them more, but this man did bring their Xiao An back safely.
No matter what, let’s treat it one way or the other.
Now that the person is fine, they are relieved.
"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, come over to our house and chat." Old Lady Su brushed the dust off her skirt with both hands and smiled at the Huo couple. "Xiu'er specially steamed a bowl of rice cakes for lunch, especially for Xiaomai Sui. Look at the little girl smacking her lips. I'm afraid she must be hungry, so I can feed her."
"You have to say it, Xiu'er is a very good cook!" Mrs. Huo had no choice but to carry her daughter to the kitchen of Xiao Su's house. "Little wheat ear, let's go! Let's go to Grandma Su's house to eat delicious food!"
Huo Ziheng walked with Su Da and Su Er and followed behind, with a faint helpless smile in his eyes.
The elders and the men left, and Wang Chuan and Li Xiaoxiao also left as if nothing had happened.
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang were still waiting there, craning their necks to peer into the pharmacy. "Xiu'er, we're waiting for you. Let's go home together!"
The pretty woman walked out of the pharmacy quickly, her hands still dripping with water stains, which she washed cleanly, with a smile on her face, "I'm here!"
"Didn't you say last time you wanted to try making banana leaf rice dumplings? My sister-in-law and I went all the way up the mountain to look for them, and hey! We actually found a wild banana plant on the backside! We've already picked the leaves and washed them. Once they're dry, you can wrap them up anytime you want. We'll help you!"
"Found it? When did you go looking for it? How come I didn't know and you didn't call me!"
"You're always busy all day long. You're always called upon to do everything. Aren't you going to tire me out? Really? You're always working like a mule. Can't you take a break? If you keep doing this, you'll be deliberately alienating our family!"
The women left, chatting and laughing softly, their faces filled with ease and joy.
In the end, Du Buqin couldn't stand it anymore and kicked away the guys who were still being petty in the yard.
The news that the bearded man was in Tubei Village spread throughout the village in an instant, and every family was shocked.
Not daring to approach Du Lao, the villagers gathered in groups of two or three at the doorsteps of their homes and discussed things quietly.
"He has so many grievances with our Tubei Village, it's almost a life-and-death struggle. What's the idea that he would dare to come here and ask for help?"
"How can I not come? When it comes to medical skills, the poison master is the best in the entire exile area. If you come, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you don't come, you can only wait to die."
"Things are really getting weirder and weirder, haven't you noticed? The relationship between Tubei Village and the Twelve Piers is so unclear now."
"What's so strange about that? Isn't that how it is in the exile area? You've never been to the inner city. In the city, people would kill each other in the streets in the morning, then drink and become sworn brothers in the evening. Then, when they sober up, they'd fight again the next day."
"Anyway, no matter what, we are now residents of Tubei Village, so we should just live our lives in peace. Besides, even if I want revenge, I can't win."
