Chapter 253 Yu was rescued
"Mom, I'm going to find the village chief right now and tell him to send the child directly to General Wan's home. The child's mother can also help take care of him. I think the snow will continue to blow for a while."
"Okay, go ahead. I think Er Gouzi is fine now. Give him some warm water later. As long as his body warms up slowly, it will be fine."
Wan Laoer nodded and was about to run out, but was grabbed by Wan Er's wife.
"Wait, when Sister Yu went back, she wasn't wearing thick clothes. If you guys dig her out, she'll still freeze to death. I'll get her one of my cotton-padded jackets. You take it with you and put it on her once she's rescued."
After saying this, Wan Ersao turned around and went back to her room. Not long after, she took out a gray cotton coat. Although it was made of fine cotton cloth, Wan Ersao used the ugliest color to make it more resistant to dirt.
Wan Laoer took it, turned around and walked away without saying anything.
At this time, Yu's house was in chaos.
Yu's body had been half exposed, but her eyes were tightly closed, her face was as pale as the snowflakes outside, and her breathing was very weak.
At this time, a broken thatched house next door also collapsed with a loud bang, scaring the villagers who were busy working and making them break out in cold sweats. Fortunately, the collapse was towards the back of the house. It should be that the adobe wall behind the house had been in disrepair for a long time. After being soaked by snow water, it could not withstand the pressure of the snow on top and collapsed directly.
Yu was in a coma and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.
When Wan Laoer rushed over, Yu had just been dug out of a snow cave. Wan Laoer immediately stepped forward and covered Yu with Wan Ersao's clothes. Because of the difference between men and women, Wan Laoer just covered Yu with his clothes and then kept his distance.
But if Yu was not taken back for treatment immediately, she would die soon. What's more, her leg seemed to be broken and the bones were exposed.
The blood flowing from the wound has frozen into a blood clot.
"Village head, my mother said that Yu should be sent to General Wan's house. When they left, they handed the house over to our family. The house is empty anyway, and it's still brand new. It would be a pity if no one lives in it. My mother said that Yu should be settled next door to my house so that we can take better care of her."
Jinniu was worried. Even if Yu was rescued, she would have no house to live in. There were more than a dozen vacant houses in the village, but those houses were not new. They were just slightly better than Yu's house. But now the snow kept falling. Jinniu was afraid that if he just placed Yu there casually, she might suffer a second injury. He had to handle it carefully.
"Really? Auntie, are you really willing to let Yu live in General Wan's house? This really solves a big problem for the village. I will thank you very much later."
Jinniu finally felt a little relieved and immediately asked people to carry Yu to Wan Jinshu's house.
Old Mrs. Wan had already settled Ergouzi down and gave him a bowl of ginger and sugar water. Seeing that Ergouzi's face had become a little rosier, she gave instructions to Mrs. Wan Er.
"Second brother's wife, you and your fourth brother's wife quickly take the key and go to Mo'er's house next door to heat up the kang. They will carry Yu over here soon and it will definitely be a hassle. It's so cold, it will be bad to dig someone out of a snowy nest. You two go and prepare everything first, I'll be there in a bit."
Old Mrs. Wan was worried about her family, but she was also worried about Mrs. Yu. After all, those who rescued Mrs. Yu were all grown men, and due to the strict rules between men and women, they probably could not do much after rescuing her and finding a place to settle her. Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Liu were both young, and they had no experience in some things, so Old Mrs. Wan decided to go there in person to take a look.
Wan Ersao and Liu hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of lunch, then wrapped themselves in thick cotton jackets and went to Wan Jinshu's house next door.
Wan Jinshu was called back by the imperial edict and left in a hurry. Moreover, the capital had everything, so they only took some personal belongings with them and left behind many large pieces of furniture.
When Wan Ersao and Liu entered Wan Jinshu's house, they didn't have to clean up much. Zhao was a clean person and the house was tidy every day. She didn't mess up things when she left.
"Second sister-in-law, I don't think there's much to clean up here. I'll go make some ginger soup first, and you heat up the kang first. I think Sister Yu will be sent over soon. I think there's nothing missing in this room, so there's no need to buy anything else."
Wan Ersao nodded, and the two sisters-in-law divided the work and cooperated. There was a shed full of dry firewood in the yard, which was chopped by Wan Jinshu and Wan Xingchen when he had nothing to do nearby. They were neatly stacked, and one pile of dry firewood was taller than Wan Ersao. Wan Ersao reached out and picked up a few chopped firewood from the pile and went into the kitchen.
Since the Zhao family had left, the house was empty and it was snowing heavily, so the house was deserted. Wan Ersao couldn't help shivering and quickly rubbed her hands to light the firewood.
The kangs in the house are connected through the flue in the kitchen. As long as there is fire in the kitchen, the kangs in the house will slowly heat up. There is also a faster way to heat the kang directly. However, because Liu was about to make ginger soup, Wan Ersao did not bother and directly heated the kang in the kitchen so that the two of them could chat and relieve their boredom.
When the kang here became somewhat warm, the gate of the yard was knocked on. Liu quickly put down the work in her hands, wiped her hands on her apron, and ran out to open the door.
"Is the room ready? Hurry, the man is dying."
Jinniu was at the front and asked anxiously when he saw Liu.
Liu glanced at Yu who was being carried by several men. There was no trace of blood on her face and she seemed stiff. A piece of bone was exposed on her leg, and there was a layer of ice and blood on the tattered clothes on her leg. She looked extremely scary. Liu was so frightened that she stood there for a moment.
It was Wan Lao Er who called out again, "Fourth brother's wife, is the room ready?"
"Oh... ready, ready, come with me." Liu came back to her senses and quickly led a group of people to the west wing. The west wing was next to the kitchen, and the kang there heated up the fastest. Moreover, the west wing was Wan Yirou's room, and the things inside were all for her daughter, so Yu could also use them.
Several people hurriedly carried Yu onto the kang, which was covered with a kang mat and a mattress.
Liu took off her shoes and went up to the kang to help. She took a new quilt from the head of the kang and covered Yu with it. Liu accidentally touched Yu's body, which made her shiver.
"Mom, is this person still alive? His body is so cold, can he be saved?" Liu couldn't help but feel shocked in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud, and her face looked a little unhappy.
After the men dropped the people off, they left immediately. Only Jinniu remained. He and Wan Laoer went into the main room in the upper house.
