It's a huge wild boar!
Its fangs were exceptionally ferocious, and its body was enormous, weighing over 500 pounds! With its dark skin, it fiercely charged towards the children in the yard!
"Tangtang!"
Aunt Chi was so frightened that her heart seemed to stop beating. Despite her fear, she still rushed towards the children without hesitation.
Aunt Li is the same!
Two women in their forties or fifties rushed forward and shielded the children behind them!
"Whoosh!"
The sound of an arrow piercing the void made the air quiet down.
The wild boar has been shot!
But after only a brief pause, and a few painful roars from his head, he still charged towards the children!
A stench assaulted the senses, as if a wild boar's gaping maw could swallow them whole at any moment!
"ah!"
Chi Tang screamed.
The next second!
Suddenly, lightning ripped through the calm sky!
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt struck from the sky, instantly killing the charging wild boar!
"ah!"
Aunt Li and Aunt Chi also let out painful wails at the same time.
The lightning struck the wild boar dead, but because it was too close, it also burned the backs of Aunt Li and Aunt Chi!
The clothes on the back were burned off, and the back was red and swollen, with a burnt smell.
"mother!"
"Yongcai's wife! Sister-in-law of the Li family!"
The one shooting arrows in front of the courtyard is Uncle Wei!
Several old men from next door rushed over, and without saying a word, they fired a few more arrows to make sure the wild boar was completely dead.
However, since both women's backs were exposed, they couldn't look at them directly.
He hurriedly said, "I'll go and fetch a doctor for you."
There are no doctors in Meihe Village; you have to go to the pharmacy in town to get one.
With tears in her eyes, Sister-in-law Chi thanked him, "Wait, Uncle Wei... this is money. They wouldn't have come if there wasn't money..."
The people working at the town's pharmacy are very pragmatic.
They won't come unless you give them enough money.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll go right away." An old man went off.
Uncle Wei stayed.
"Mother, mother!"
Li Mingrong's wife screamed in terror.
It turned out that Aunt Li and Aunt Chi had fainted from the pain, and the children were crying loudly in fright. Chi Tang was holding onto her mother tightly and refused to let go.
Chi Sihai came out and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, come and help, carry it inside..."
With her back like this, there's no way to hug her.
"good."
Sister-in-law Chi wiped away her tears, and the two women, together with Chi Sihai, carried Aunt Chi and Aunt Li inside.
The room was in a flurry of activity as several little children shakily walked in.
Poor Chi Tang couldn't walk yet, and Chi's sister-in-law and the others couldn't take care of her. In her haste, Chi Tang wiggled her little bottom and crawled all the way into the house.
"My goodness, I almost stepped on you! Tangtang, be good, don't cause trouble at a time like this." Chi Sihai picked up his little darling, looking anxious.
Chi Tang hurriedly called out, "Mother! Go see Mother!"
In my haste, I actually managed to pronounce "mother" correctly!
It's just a pity that Mother can't hear.
Thinking of this, Chi Tang's tears started falling down her cheeks, making her look extremely pitiful.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Fourth Brother will carry you to see Mother. Don't make trouble, understand?" Chi Sihai put Chi Tang on the kang and went out.
At this point, I don't know what to do, but I might as well boil some water, just in case I need it.
Seeing that no one was around, Chi Tang took out burn ointment from the first-aid kit in the small courtyard.
Luckily, I still had a box of burn ointment left!
Why didn't I buy more?
I used quite a few for Shiro before, and now there's only one left.
Chi Tang was too weak to open it no matter what she tried, and she cried in frustration.
Just then, Sister-in-law Chi came in and understood what was going on.
This is the same one that Shiro used back then!
"So, you're going to apply it to Mother?"
"right."
Sister-in-law Chi immediately unscrewed the bottle and applied a layer to her mother-in-law's back before taking it next door to apply to her own mother.
After waiting for quite a while, the doctor finally arrived.
When the doctor saw the medicine applied to his back, he immediately reached out and applied a little, brought his nose close to smell it, and asked with some surprise:
Where did you get this plaster? Do you have any more?
I do have some, but I wouldn't dare take them out.
After all, the packaging is something that this era doesn't have.
Therefore, Sister-in-law Chi had no choice but to lie: "It's gone... This was given to me by someone I met on the way out of the famine..."
Li Mingfan's wife and Chi Sihai frowned upon hearing this.
When was it given?
What are you talking about?
However, neither of them is stupid, so naturally they wouldn't sabotage each other at this time.
The doctor was clearly displeased. After quickly taking her pulse, he took out ten boxes of ointment: "Apply it once in the morning and once at night. One box costs 188 coins. Pay up. If you want to recover quickly, you need both internal and external treatments. Do you also want to prescribe herbal decoctions?"
So many ointments?
Chi Tang frowned.
This doctor seems more like he's here to sell medicine.
"Open it, open it as soon as it heals quickly!" Sister-in-law Chi said, making the decision.
The doctor was pleased to hear this, and without writing a prescription, he said directly, "Someone come with me to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and remember to bring the money."
Chi Sihai then went with him.
The consultation fee is twenty cash, the ointment costs one thousand eight hundred and eighty cash, and the herbal medicine is a month's supply, which is three thousand cash. The total comes to four thousand nine hundred cash, or four taels of silver and nine hundred cash!
This is outright robbery!
But Chi Sihai had no choice but to grit his teeth and pay up. He couldn't just let his mother suffer like that, could he?
