Dumb Widow 9
After one night, Shen Wanyue came up with a new plan.
The person who chased her away came earlier than she expected.
Unlike the previous few days, only one person came today, my fourth sister-in-law.
She seemed to have a good temper, no wonder she was allowed to come. Shen Wanyue observed the woman in front of her calmly.
She looked young, with a smile on her face. When she saw Chen Wanyue coming out, she called out affectionately, "Sister-in-law, you got up so early."
She was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, a faded blue cloth apron, dark brown trousers and leggings.
Chen Wanyue curled her lips and smiled, inviting people into the house.
"I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning." The fourth sister-in-law said sorry, but her foot had already stepped into the door frame. "Has my sister-in-law eaten?"
Chen Wanyue shook her head. She was about to go out to cook when she met you.
"Then come to my place for something to eat later." The fourth sister-in-law said as she walked into the house, as if she had been there many times.
Chen Wanyue also found some information about her in Li Niangzi's memory:
The fourth sister-in-law is the one who treats Madam Li quite well in the whole family. She will share some of the family’s food and help fight back when others mock her.
He is a good person no matter how you look at him.
But such a good man was allowed to search Madam Li's house freely in front of everyone, and there was no intention to stop him.
That's normal. Helping Madam Li is out of human nature, but not helping is also understandable.
When she came today, she should have persuaded me to move out.
As expected, after a few pleasantries, the fourth sister-in-law got down to business: "Sister-in-law, I can honestly say that I have treated you well. You also know the current situation at home. I know you feel sad about my brother's accidental death, and I am also worried about how you will survive alone in the future... The attitudes of other people in the family towards you are also... Why don't you go home and find another good match?"
Shen Wanyue's hand was held by the other party, and she could clearly feel the rough calluses on it.
I listened to what my fourth sister-in-law said, but the headache took over at this time - it was a prelude to the arrival of memory.
Sure enough, a string of memories came into my mind again...
It was late in the evening—and night again.
Madam Li's vision was blurry and she couldn't see things clearly, but she could barely tell where she was based on the faint light.
It was in the wilderness...could it be the place where Madam Li was hit on the head?
A familiar figure stood in front of "Mrs. Li". Yes, this man was Mrs. Zhu's husband.
He cursed angrily: "Fortunately, he is still breathing. Really, he suddenly stood up in the middle of the night and scared me to death!"
It seems that the memory connection is that Madam Li was hurt again by Mrs. Zhu's husband.
After being hit on the head twice in succession, Madam Li was still half awake and in good health.
Next, Mrs. Zhu left the sight, probably to clean up the bloodstains on the ground.
Time passed slowly, Mrs. Zhu's husband walked farther and farther away, and the lights gradually disappeared.
The only sound around "Madam Li" was the rustling of weeds and leaves by the wind.
"Cloaking Sand"
The sounds around suddenly changed. It was the sound of people stepping on the weeds.
Someone came looking for "Madam Li".
Shen Wanyue had a guess in her mind, could it be the fourth sister-in-law?
The man did not come in front of "Madam Li", but stopped behind her. Shen Wanyue could not tell.
But based on previous experience of acquiring memories, it would be the fourth sister-in-law.
The person standing at the back didn't speak, only shallow breathing sounds were heard.
She heard the "clang" sound again. It was something sharp. As the person behind her made a sound due to the force, "Madam Li's" injured forehead was hit again!
"!" Shen Wanyue was out of her memory. She unconsciously put her hand on the place where she was hit. The pain seemed to pass through her and reach her body.
"...Sister-in-law, do you have a headache?" Seeing her like this, the fourth sister-in-law's eyes were full of worry. She asked with concern, "I heard from Sister Zhu that you hit yourself. You should be more careful next time... I have the herbs that your fourth brother bought when he was injured. It's not all there yet. I'll go back and get you some."
Shen Wanyue raised her elbow to hide her expression and nodded when she heard the words.
"Wait for me. We can't be careless about the matter at hand." After saying that, the fourth sister-in-law stood up and said a few words before leaving.
"Bang." Shen Wanyue put down her hand only after the door closed.
The morning light illuminated her pale face, her lips pressed together.
The pain from the blow on the forehead still lingers in my memory, and as the memory is triggered, the pain comes back.
Perhaps this was the key factor in Madam Li's death.
The injured part of the body had been beaten by Zhu's husband before. When he came back and saw the blood on the ground, he just thought it was bleeding again. How could he suspect that it was caused by another person?
When Zhu's husband carried "Mrs. Li" back home, he should have checked her breathing...
Or should we return to this room? And if the head is hit and bleeding continues, Zhu's husband will wrap it with cloth to prevent it from bleeding to death.
But when she came into Madam Li's body, the wound on her head was not big and was not bandaged - the wound might have healed on its own when it came into the body.
All the questions kept swirling in her mind.
Shen Wanyue paused: Maybe the person who hit "Madam Li" for the third time did something wrong.
If that's the case, everything can be explained.
"Sister-in-law! Sorry to have kept you waiting." The fourth sister-in-law's voice came, and she pushed the door open and said, "I've ground the herbs and brought them here. I've also served you some food."
The corners of Shen Wanyue's mouth slightly raised to express her gratitude.
The fourth sister-in-law held a bowl in each hand, one bowl contained a dark green object, and the other contained porridge.
"Eat it while it's hot. I heated it up on purpose."
Chen Wanyue took the porridge, and the ground ointment was placed on the small table by the fourth sister-in-law. It exuded a unique herbal aroma that made people feel refreshed.
"You look so thin, eat more." The fourth sister-in-law chuckled and reached out to brush away the loose hair on her forehead. "Even though you are at home, you still have to dress properly. I will help you comb your hair later."
She nodded while drinking porridge.
The fourth sister-in-law tucked her hair behind her ears, and her fingertips touched her ears....
Memories came flooding back - "If my sister-in-law feels unwell, just come to me. I know a little about pharmacology. Don't hesitate!"
It was triggered again. It was the voice of the fourth sister-in-law, but there was only one sentence, but it was an important message.
The fourth sister-in-law fixed her hair and said with a smile, "The wound on your forehead healed really quickly. Last time I saw it, it looked like a big hole."
Chen Wanyue stared at the bowl, holding the bowl with both hands and drinking sip by sip. It looked like she was eating delicious food, but in fact, almost nothing went into her stomach.
The amiable fourth sister-in-law in front of her was really okay, but she couldn't guarantee whether there was any problem with this bowl of porridge.
I have had two contacts with my fourth sister-in-law, and my memory has been triggered twice. The person in front of me is definitely not simple.
Although the fourth sister-in-law was always looking at Shen Wanyue, her peripheral vision was always on the ointment on the table.
Chen Wanyue put down the bowl, and the rice in it seemed to be less.
"Sister-in-law, let me comb your hair and apply the medicine at the same time." said the fourth sister-in-law.
Shen Wanyue stood up and shook her head repeatedly.
The fourth sister-in-law automatically understood that she was embarrassed, and continued, "It's okay, you're welcome. Since you are still in this family, you are still my sister-in-law, and it is only natural for you to help your relatives."
"Hmm..." Shen Wanyue still disagreed.
The fourth sister-in-law brought the bowl of ointment and approached her step by step: "Don't be polite, it's just a matter of convenience. It's not convenient for you to be alone, right?"
How could Chen Wanyue dare to let the person who was suspected of killing "Mrs. Li" get along with her now? If he still refuses to give in, then she doesn't have to be polite...
She tried her best to take a defensive posture.
Just at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door: "Wife! Wife!" It was the voice of the fourth sister-in-law's husband, who was panting because he ran too fast.
The fourth sister-in-law's smile froze, but she kept her tone normal: "What's wrong?"
"Hoohoo... Mom, Mom fainted! Come over here and help!" The fourth brother didn't care about anything else and walked directly into the house, propping himself up on his knees. "My eldest brother just went out to find a doctor. I don't know how long it will take."
".....Okay, let's go." The fourth sister-in-law was about to go out with the medicine, but was grabbed by Chen Wanyue's wrist, "?"
Shen Wanyue pointed at the ointment, then pointed at her finger.
The fourth sister-in-law smiled happily and said, "Oh, look at my brain. Remember to apply it on your forehead." As she spoke, she put the medicine back on the table.
good.
The fourth brother was displeased and cursed: "Why do you care about her?"
After saying that, he took his fourth sister-in-law’s hand and ran out without even closing the door.
After Chen Wanyue could no longer see the two people's backs, she covered her mouth and trotted out of the house. With a "vomit" sound, she spat out the porridge that she had been holding in her mouth for a long time, and turned her head away to avoid looking at the filthy thing.
If you don't eat something, you will be suspected.
There was a bowl of ointment in the room. She planned to go outside to see a doctor.
The fourth sister-in-law understood pharmacology. If she gave the person some medicine that could temporarily stop the bleeding after beating "Madam Li", when Sister-in-law Zhu's husband sent the person back home, no matter how good the medicine was, it would not always be effective and follow-up treatment would be necessary.
"Madam Li" did not receive any follow-up treatment at all, so it was easy for her to die - of course, these are just my own guesses.
But she knew that she was getting closer to the truth.
...........
Wu Laifeng was walking on the road with his medicine box on his back, when suddenly a hand grabbed him and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
He saw that the person holding his hand had a red face and sweat on his forehead. He thought that someone in his family must have suddenly fallen ill, so there was no reason for him not to save him. So he nodded and said, "Yes."
The man let out a long sigh: "My mother suddenly fainted, please come with me!"
"Okay, lead the way."
The man was delighted: "Thank you very much!"
He trotted home with Wu Laifeng.
Wu Laifeng has been walking for many years. Apart from his other special skills, he is good at running. After a while, he saw the patient.
The patient was surrounded by a group of children. When they saw him coming, they dispersed and left the room.
Only a woman squatting beside the bed did not move.
The man he brought with him explained: "Oh, her family runs a medicine store, you can ask her to help!"
"Okay, you go out too."
"yes."
Wu Laifeng did a quick check and found that it was not a serious illness but a sign of poisoning. He asked the woman next to him if the patient had eaten anything strange.
The woman seemed to remember something and said, "Hey! I remember that mother liked to dig wild vegetables. Could she have eaten something wrong?"
Wu Laifeng first prescribed a detoxification prescription and advised: "In the future, you must be extra careful about what the old lady eats. As she ages, she can't stand being tortured."
"Yes, yes, thank you, doctor!"
"Nothing. You must be more careful in the future."
Wu Laifeng briefly explained the old man's condition.
The children were almost scared to death and kept thanking me.
The man paid him according to the price here.
Wu Laifeng accepted it and said, "Take the first prescription first, and then take the second prescription after you have vomited it all out. Remember to take the second prescription for three consecutive days, twice a day."
"I've got it all down."
Wu Laifeng had to hurry on his way, so he gave a few instructions and left.
Mrs. Zhu frowned and whispered, "Where did you find this doctor? Is he reliable?"
The fourth sister-in-law smiled and answered, "There are several precious herbs in his medicine box. If he doesn't have any skills, why would he carry them with him? He might be a traveling doctor."
"So, big brother has found a treasure?"
