Chapter 7 Fourth Aunt, You Are Starving
“This water is not…”
Li Yuzhi wanted to stop it, but was reluctant to do so.
Jintang wanted to push the pottery jar away at first, but he was young after all, and he couldn't control himself once he touched the water. The spiritual spring water was sweeter than ordinary water. How could a person who was extremely thirsty resist this temptation?
Jintang drank in big gulps.
Li Yuzhi's eyes were red, and at that moment, a coolness seemed to surge into her heart, dispelling the confusion in her heart.
Watching her son drink water was more satisfying than drinking it herself.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, there's enough water."
Sang Ning originally wanted to fill the water bag, but she was afraid that the yamen runners would not be able to find water to grab, so she gave up. She didn't want to waste the spiritual water.
The two little girls also woke up hungry and looked at Sang Ning eagerly.
"Everyone, drink some. Your health is the most important thing right now."
Unfortunately, the old lady and the eldest sister-in-law were reluctant to drink it and only took two sips.
After the three children had drunk their fill, Sang Ning began to clean up the silkworm erosion.
She didn't shy away from it at all, and immediately rolled up Huo Changan's trouser legs and pulled them up.
Huo Changan grabbed her wrist, with a hint of anger in his surprise.
“…There are no bugs on it.”
"If you don't feel it, how do you know if it exists?"
"I just know it."
"Okay, be obedient. Even if there are no bugs, the wound still needs to be treated."
Huo Changan was stunned by Sang Ning's coaxing tone.
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law had already consciously avoided him. The old lady came over and said, "Fourth brother, be obedient. This is not the capital, there are not so many taboos."
The old lady lived in the northern border for many years with Marquis Boyang when she was young, so she didn't take these rules that seriously.
What's more, Sang Ning'er is his legitimate daughter-in-law.
Huo Changan pursed his lips and let go.
The trouser legs were pulled up to her thighs, and the stench of rotten flesh was pungent, but she seemed not to be able to smell it, her eyes staring intently.
Huo Changan felt very ashamed. His legs, which had lost all feeling, suddenly felt numb, itchy, and hot.
He simply closed his eyes, leaned against the earth wall, and used his arms to support his unstable body.
These two legs were once strong and powerful, and the muscle contours were still there, but because of the lack of blood circulation, they have begun to become weak. If this continues, they will atrophy.
Sang Ning didn't know whether the spiritual spring water could repair the meridians, so she decided to give it a try.
After all, this is a difficult problem that even modern medicine cannot solve.
The salt water slowly flows towards the rotting flesh.
At some point, Huo Changan opened his eyes again.
The girl's eyes were clear, without a trace of disgust, only focus and calmness. Behind her was a sky full of fiery red clouds, coating her whole body with a layer of golden red.
Brilliant as fire.
He was a little dazed for a moment.
Is she Sang Ning'er?
"Grandma, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Jinxiu and Jinxin buried their heads in the old lady's arms and cried.
The old lady's eyes were also filled with horror as she saw red worm heads suddenly emerging from the rotten meat.
It seemed as if there were enemy troops chasing them, scrambling for the lead, giving them goosebumps.
Sang Ning moved very quickly, using two thin branches to clamp the insect heads and pull them out one by one.
Then put it on the ground.
The short ones are one centimeter long, and the long ones are two or three centimeters long!
Round and plump, like a fat silkworm!
Even Huo Changan himself felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
However, Sang Ning remained calm and was not afraid of these disgusting bugs at all!
Twenty-one in total!
They were neatly placed on the ground by Sang Ning.
The stomachs of the silkworms, which had been eaten so much, were bulging, and they twisted their bodies awkwardly, finding it difficult to crawl.
Sang Ning didn't start scraping the rotten meat until there were no more worms coming out of it.
How could a girl from an ordinary family understand this?
But Sang Ning cut the knife skillfully and was not afraid of blood, which made the old lady even more surprised and suspicious.
Could it be that the Sang family had been hiding their incompetence before?
Because there was no medicine, after scraping off the rotten flesh, Sang Ning rinsed the wound with water.
Huo Changan frowned in distress and couldn't help but shout in a hoarse voice: "Don't waste water."
His legs are now worth less than a can of water.
"Don't worry, there's still water. I've hidden it and will get some more at night."
Sang Ning raised his eyebrows and whispered, with a rather proud tone in his voice.
In such a terrible situation, Huo Changan had long been accustomed to the numb and miserable expressions of his family.
Sang Ning's cheerfulness was out of place, yet full of vitality, as if what he faced was not the abyss of hell.
Once again, I wondered in my heart: What kind of person is she?
Of course, he also hated Sang Ning'er.
Just because she is the daughter of the enemy.
But ever since she said those righteous words, for some reason, I always wanted to study her and see through her.
Inquiry overshadowed hatred.
It wasn’t like this before!
Before they got married, he saw her and her cousin arguing on the street. He didn't know who started the fight first, but he only knew that Sang Ning'er pushed her cousin down in the end. She was very rude and uncultured.
At that time, his friends expressed deep sympathy for him.
"Sang Ning'er, why did you push Narcissus down when we were in the capital?" he suddenly asked.
Sang Ning was stunned.
Then he thought for a moment and said, "She scolded me for seducing you with despicable means and said I was born by a mother but not raised by one."
"If you're speaking up for her, I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm wrong."
It’s just that the original owner was not smart and started quarreling in the street, making a fool of himself.
If it was her, she would be murdered!
Huo Changan found his own thoughts ridiculous.
If she is not Sang Ning'er, then who else could she be? Are there monsters in this world?
After Sang Ning finished dealing with it, he grabbed the silkworms on the ground while no one was paying attention and threw them into the space with a thought.
Although this silkworm rot is disgusting, it is a good medicinal ingredient. When dried and ground into powder, it is very effective in treating rheumatism.
She didn't know that Huo Jintang behind her was staring at her with his eyes wide open.
After hesitating for a long time, he cautiously stepped forward and asked quietly, "Aunt Si, where did you take the bugs?"
Although the little boy was covered in dust, he looked much better, his voice was clear, and his breathing was normal.
The effect of Lingquan water is strong.
He was the first person in the Huo family to acknowledge her identity. He was sensible and polite, and Sang Ning liked him very much.
At this moment, the little kid tried his best to maintain his composure, and his two black and white eyes looked at Sang Ning's hand vigilantly.
I'm afraid a bug's head will pop out suddenly.
"I ate it." Sang Ning teased him.
Huo Jintang's eyes widened even more, and the picture remained still for five seconds.
"You didn't say it was poisonous?"
I tried my best to stay calm but couldn't control the trembling.
"Oh, that's right. If it gets into the skin and the toxins enter the bloodstream, it's indeed very dangerous. But if it gets into the stomach, it's different. Our gastric juice has a high-intensity decomposition effect, and it will quickly melt the toxins and turn them into rice for excretion."
The picture remained still for another five seconds.
Then the little kid's eyes changed from shock to horror to pity.
"Aunt Si, you must be starving. I still have some dry food left over from Uncle Si. I'll give it all to you."
"Eating rotten meat will harm your body."
Sang Ning was so moved when he saw the black steamed bread handed to him by the little hand.
I almost couldn't help but kiss her twice.
In the end, for fear of scaring him, I just pinched his little face.
Even so, the little kid was still trying to hide, his face full of embarrassment.
"Auntie is not hungry, you can keep it for yourself."
After Sang Ning finished speaking, he reached into his pocket, took out a few peanuts from the space, and stuffed them into Jintang's mouth using his body to block them.
"Hide it, eat it secretly and don't let anyone find out."
Xiao Jintang grabbed it tightly in panic, glanced at the yamen runner, and his hands were shaking.
