"I'll get the tub!"
Without waiting for Ruan Qing to feel embarrassed, Yin Yin had already let go of the old woman's hand and ran outside.
"well!"
The three of them were busy for a while. The old woman was decocting medicine in the kitchen. Ruan Qing took off the man's clothes, revealing an arrow wound on his chest. Fortunately, she had simply bandaged it before and used spider web to stop the bleeding. Probably because there was no injury to the vital parts, the bleeding really stopped.
Thinking about what the doctor said, Ruan Qing did not dare to slack off. He hurriedly cleaned the wound again, crushed the herbs, took the herbal juice and rubbed it on, then poured the golden wound medicine, and finally bandaged it.
Unfortunately, the man was in a coma and didn’t get to take the medicine that the old woman had worked so hard to prepare.
Ruan Qing stayed in the main room all night, and before he knew it, he lay down on the edge of the wooden bed and fell asleep.
It was dawn and the rooster from the neighbor's house crowed. The man who had been unconscious all night was awakened by the rooster's crowing and opened his eyes slowly.
The dim light in the room and the extinguished charcoal fire in the main room made the man feel that everything was so strange.
The severe pain in his head made him raise his hand and rub his temple.
Who knew, as soon as I raised my hand, I found that my arm was actually pressed down...
When I looked down, I saw a dark head resting on my arm...
He tried hard to pull it out quietly, but the first move woke up the sleeping person.
"Ah, you're awake!"
A familiar face came into view, and the two men looked at each other. The man closed his eyes tightly and tried to raise his arm, only to find that it was numb.
"Why is it you?"
The man was surprised as he looked at the woman in front of him, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed all night with sleepy eyes, her hand resting under her chin, and drooling all over his arm.
The man was Yunchang, whom Chaoge had been looking for for a day. Not long after he left the city, he encountered robbers.
The robbers saw that he was dressed gorgeously, so they robbed him. During the fight, he accidentally slipped and rolled down the slope of the official road, and then met Ruan Qing who was returning home after closing his stall at noon.
If Yunchang had not helped her, Ruan Qing would not have brought her home. After all, she was just a widow now, and people's words were scary. Her life was already difficult.
Yunchang never expected that he would meet this woman again, and she even saved his life.
"If it weren't for me, you would have been frozen to death overnight if you were unconscious in that ravine!"
Ruan Qing was still the same as before, sharp-tongued and always at odds with Yunchang.
But today, Yunchang looked at Ruan Qing like this, but he didn't react at all. He closed his eyes weakly, and suddenly his stomach made a gurgling sound.
"Hey, you've been unconscious for so long, you must be hungry. It's almost dawn. I'll go make breakfast. You can take the medicine after breakfast."
In this way, Yunchang, who originally planned to return to Lingfeng County, stayed at Ruan Qing's house to recuperate.
I thought this woman was a liar. Yunxuan had generously helped her at the beginning. I didn't expect that what Ruan Qing had said to those thugs before was true.
And after spending two days together, Yunchang discovered that this woman was actually a kind person.
"My daughter-in-law is so nice. It's all my disappointing son's fault for not cherishing her. If my son treated her like this, he should just die. There's no need for her to care about me.
But I had a serious illness before, and my daughter-in-law had to borrow money from a loan shark to pay for my treatment..."
When she said this, the old woman's eyes became moist.
"I wanted to end my life myself so as not to burden my daughter-in-law, but seeing her going out early and coming back late to set up the stall, paying off the debts I owed due to my illness, as well as the debts owed by my disappointing son, I dared not die.
If I am alive, I can still let her see the child. My granddaughter is so well-behaved and still so young. If I die, my daughter-in-law will go out to work and there will be no one to look after my granddaughter."
As she spoke, the old woman wiped away her tears again.
"Look, the New Year is almost here, and this family depends on my daughter-in-law. I advised her to take Yinyin with her and remarry, but she is stubborn. Maybe my beastly son hurt her too deeply, and she doesn't want to marry anyone else in this life."
The old woman was sitting under the eaves, and Yunchang was also sitting under the eaves. She was dealing with a pile of freshly killed geese while muttering to herself without raising her head, nor did she look up to see if Yunchang was listening to her.
Yunchang looked at the white snow in the yard, suddenly stood up, found a broom and a dustpan, and started to busy himself, still without saying a word.
"Oh, you are still injured, how can you do these things? Put it down, put it down!"
When the old woman looked up, she found that Yunchang was already shoveling snow. She was so scared that she hurried forward and snatched the broom from Yunchang's hand.
"Hey, Aunt Zhang, are there any relatives coming to your house?"
Suddenly, a woman's sharp voice was heard from the top of the wall, startling Aunt Zhang and Yun Chang, who both looked towards the top of the wall!
When their eyes met, Aunt Zhang's eyes became panicked. She looked at the woman who was watching the fun, and finally she lied.
"This is a distant relative from my mother's family. He was originally going to go home for the New Year, but something went wrong, so he decided to stay with me and spend the New Year with me."
When the woman heard this, she didn't believe it at all!
"Aunt Zhang, your family was so poor during those years, how come you don't have such a rich relative? The clothes your relative is wearing and the jade crown on his head must be worth a lot of silver, right?
Back then, your family was being chased by debt collectors and was in a mess every day. Why didn't you, a wealthy relative, lend a hand? I think your relative must have ulterior motives. Could he be eyeing your beautiful daughter-in-law? Hahahaha!"
Hearing the woman's sarcastic tone and the hurtful words she said, Aunt Zhang was so angry that her body was shaking. Yun Chang looked coldly at the woman at the next wall.
"Wang Chunhua, stop talking nonsense and ruining the reputation of my daughter-in-law!"
"Oh, are you anxious? I'm not kidding. Look how anxious you are, Aunt Zhang. Why haven't those debt collectors come recently?
Could it be that your daughter-in-law really got together with this rich man? After all, she is a widow, so it's fine. We, the neighbors, understand. It's just that your dishonest behavior is really despised, and you even made up a "relative"......"
"Bang!"
Before Wang Chunhua could finish her unpleasant words, suddenly a big white snowball hit her in the face!
The snowball exploded in Wang Chunhua's face. Wang Chunhua, whose face was covered with snow, screamed in shock. She couldn't help but lean back and fell straight down from the ladder.
Fall to the ground!
