The weather started to get hot, and everyone could only look at Lin Rui and Sanliang's short hair with envy. They couldn't help but blame their old-fashioned parents in their hearts. They were not princes or nobles, so why did they need to pay attention to their appearance? They could just do whatever they felt comfortable with, just like their cousin Lin Rui.
But seeing that his parents looked like they would break his legs if he dared to cut his head, he did not dare to challenge their authority.
Before, Sanliang had been displaced along the way and suffered inhumane treatment at his employer's house. Not having enough food and warm clothes was the most serious punishment. His hair was dry, yellow and broken like weeds. After having his hair cut, he looked much better.
The smell of sulfur soap is not very pleasant, but it is a good thing for the Lin family. Yu Lanhua and Zhang Dacui are simply thrifty. After the whole family used it to wash their hair, there was still a small half left. In their words, it was more than enough for the next wash.
Because Lin Zaozao was still in confinement after giving birth, Lin Susu only combed her hair with a comb.
Chen Mei was wiping her wet hair as she walked over. She looked at the two sisters and couldn't help laughing: "When we were daughters-in-law, we didn't have time to rest after giving birth. We had to get out of bed and work the next day. And don't even think about going back to your parents' home. The sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law at home would roll their eyes at us."
"Zao Zao, you are blessed. You no longer have those mean in-laws, but your own family treats you well. I and my sister will take care of you, and Rui Ge'er will take care of your children. You must take good care of them, because good fortune is yet to come!"
Lin Zaozao watched Qingqing being carried outside by Lin Rui and nodded in agreement. She had thought that returning to the village as an abandoned woman would be met with public criticism and bring shame upon her family. However, her younger brother, Lin Rui, never took it personally, truly treating her daughter as his own and single-handedly shouldering the lives of his family and even the surviving members of the Lin clan.
Lin Rui is not as noble as Chen Mei and her second sister think. All he tries to do is to survive in this chaotic world, and if his ability allows, he wants to bring all his clansmen along to survive.
Qingqing's little face is getting bigger and bigger. Her mother's food is good, so she is getting plumper and plumper.
It is better to be a little fatter, as fatter children have much better immunity than ordinary children. The mortality rate of newborns in ancient times was very high. Without vaccinations and intake of various trace elements such as AD and D3, they are also prone to rickets.
Apart from Lin Zaozao, the person Qingqing is closest to is her uncle Lin Rui. As an only child, he suddenly came into a big family and had the ties of relatives. Apart from a brief surprise, this feeling was filled with only responsibility.
"Oh no, oh no, someone come quickly, the elder has been bitten by a snake!" A group of people suddenly shouted anxiously, making the tribesmen who were working near the awning stand upright in shock.
"What happened? How did you get bitten by a snake?"
"What kind of snake is it? Isn't it a black python?"
"If it's a black python, we won't be anxious. If it's not a black python!"
"Bamboo Leaf Green?"
"Not really. It looks gray to me, a bit like dog poop."
"Yes, yes, I think so too."
Dog shit is also a kind of snake. Its scientific name is Agkistrodon short-tailedus. This kind of snake is lazy and likes to lie in one place for a long time curled up, which looks like dog shit, so it got this name.
In the rural fields where Lin Rui grew up, he would occasionally step on this kind of snake. If he couldn't dodge in time, he would really get bitten by it.
Their skin is gray, very close to the color of the fields, and the human eye cannot detect them in time.
It is hard to guard against, and if anyone is bitten by it, he is really in trouble.
It also has another nickname called earth snake. It is one of the common snake species in rural fields and is very poisonous.
When Lin Rui was a child, he heard from the grandparents in the village that a woman from a neighboring village went to pick cotton in a cotton field. When she squatted down to relieve herself, she was bitten by this kind of snake in the lower body. Even the snake could not be tied up. The medical care at that time was not as advanced as it is now, and the effectiveness of herbal medicine was limited. In the end, the woman died in pain from the poison spreading throughout her body.
"Dad, hold on!" Lin Changtai and Lin Changshou ran over from the firewood pile, their faces flushed with anger: "Why was my dad bitten?"
Lin Changhe said, "I don't know either. I just heard the uncle yell, then his face turned pale and he started shaking. I ran over without delay and saw a snake swimming out from under his feet. I figured he must have been bitten, so I ripped open his trouser legs and found two snake tooth marks."
Lin Changxi was anxious: "Oh, why are you still talking so much at this time? Saving people is the most important thing!"
"But we don't have the herbs from the old forest at the end of the village!"
In ancient times, the only primitive way to treat snake bites was to apply herbal compresses. However, people who knew about herbs and their effects were rare in every village. There was one such person in Linjia Village, but he did not choose to go with Lin Pingmao, Lin Changxi and others when they left Linjia Village!
Old Lin is probably in danger now, but the condition of the village head is also getting worse!
Lin Rui asked hurriedly: "Is the wound tied tightly?"
"I gave it a shot. I also squeezed out a lot of black blood from the wound with my hands. When I helped the village head leave, the black blood had returned to normal. I thought everything was fine, but the uncle said he was very cold." Lin Changfa said.
It’s so hot in this sunny weather, how can it be cold!
It must be the bodily dysfunction caused by the snake venom. Lin Pingmao's body was shaking even more violently, frightening the two brothers Lin Changshou and Lin Changtai so much that their faces turned pale. They looked at the tribesmen with red eyes and said, "Everyone, please save my father. Please!"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Rui, ran towards him, and pulled him towards Lin Pingmao: "Lin Rui, I know you must have a way. Can you save my father?"
