Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Awakening Ends
"What's wrong with her? Is she okay?" Zhou asked hurriedly.
Yu Yin cried and said, "My little sister hit her head and bled a lot..."
Hearing this, Zhou shuddered with fear, and even Fu Yanhui and his sister, who were curiously sticking their heads out, were frightened and their eyes widened.
Yu Li didn't say anything and pulled Yu Yin out of the Fu family.
Zhou stood at the door and looked out, watching the two sisters running quickly towards Yu's house, and she couldn't help but worry.
Yu Li ran very fast, so fast that Yu Yin couldn't catch up at all. After a while, she almost disappeared.
Yu Yin didn't say anything, but just ran hard, running until he was out of breath.
The scene of the two sisters running wildly in the village attracted the attention of many people. They all looked up, wondering what was going on.
"What's going on? That's Li Niang from Yu Lao Er's family, right?"
"It is indeed Li Niang... Oh, she runs really fast."
"What happened?"
The villagers who had just returned from the fields were very confused. When they saw the direction the two sisters were running, they knew that something must have happened at the Yu family.
Someone who knows the situation said, "I heard that the little girl of Yu Laoer's family fell and injured her head, and she bled a lot."
Everyone was shocked and asked what was going on.
"I heard that Zhu Niang came back from collecting grass for pigs today and met her grandmother at the door of her house. I don't know what the two said, but Zhu Niang's grandmother seemed very angry and pushed her. Zhu Niang was small and thin, so she was not light and fluttery. She fell down because of the push. Who would have thought that there was a stone where she fell, and her head hit the stone, breaking her head."
"The blood spurted out immediately. It was a serious injury. Fortunately, Aunt Feng passed by and quickly carried Zhu Niang back to the house to stop the bleeding..."
Everyone gasped.
Someone immediately said, "Oh my God, he actually hit his head. This could be fatal."
A long time ago, there was an old man in the village who accidentally hit his head and died on the spot.
I heard that in the next door village, someone also hit his head and remained in a coma. Even the doctor couldn't help him, and after being in a coma for several months, he also died.
Therefore, everyone knows that if you hit your head and no blood comes out, it’s okay, but if blood comes out, it can be a matter of life and death.
"How is Zhu Niang now?"
"I don't know. I heard that he fainted on the spot."
"What can we do? Zhu Niang is only eight years old, right? She is still a child."
"Who said it wasn't true? Aunt Feng has asked her husband Feng Dalang to go to the county town to get a doctor. I hope the doctor can save her."
After everyone discussed Yu Zhu's injury for a while, the topic turned to Old Mrs. Yu.
"What's wrong with the old lady of the Yu family? How can she be so cruel as a grandmother?"
"That's right. Even if she doesn't like her granddaughter, she shouldn't harm her! It's only been a short while since the family split, and she's already attacked her granddaughter. Does she not want the family to split?"
"You can't say that. She probably didn't do it on purpose. Even if Aunt Yu favors boys over girls, she wouldn't be so cruel as to take her granddaughter's life, right?"
"I don't think it was intentional. The old woman doesn't have the guts to do that."
-
Yu Li came to the Yu family, turned around the original gate of the Yu family, and came to a door on the west side.
This is a small door that was reopened after the second room built a wall. Now people from the second room go in and out through this door.
She keenly spotted a blood-stained stone nearby.
This stone is not big and is hidden in the grass. It can be seen everywhere. There are many such scattered stones in the grass on the roadside in the village.
The villagers don't go out of their way to pick them up.
Yu Li's eyes dimmed slightly, and then he walked in.
When Yu Li came to the room of the Yu Jin sisters in the west room, he heard crying coming from inside.
It was already dusk, and the rooms on the west side had poor lighting. Once it got dark, the room became very dark.
She squinted her eyes and vaguely saw several figures in the room, and recognized them as Yu Laoer and his wife and Yu Jin.
And there is Aunt Feng.
Liu was sitting at the head of the bed crying, Yu Jin was standing beside her wiping her tears, and Yu Lao Er was standing silently at the foot of the bed, his body hunched over.
Aunt Feng checked on Yuzhu from time to time, saying some comforting words in vain.
The atmosphere in the room was depressing.
When Yu Li walked in, he attracted their attention.
Seeing that it was her, Yu Jin burst into tears and said while crying: "Sister, my little sister has lost a lot of blood and she has not woken up yet..."
She was very scared. What if her little sister would never wake up?
She didn't even dare to touch her little sister's nose, for fear that she would stop breathing and she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Liu's eyes were swollen from crying, and Yu Laoer's eyes were red, and he was obviously feeling bad too.
Although they were usually like wooden men, they did not protect the girls when the Yu family bullied them, and they could not even ensure that they were well fed, leaving them starving like this...
But they actually care about them.
How could I not care about my own daughter?
Yu Li walked over and vaguely saw a person lying on the bed, but he couldn't see her face clearly.
She still has night blindness.
"Jin Niang, light the lamp."
Yu Jin wiped her tears and lit the oil lamp.
In the light of the oil lamp, Yu Li saw Yu Zhu lying on the bed. Her face was dark and thin, and she looked like she had no flesh, similar to many children in the village. After two months of eating and drinking well, she had regained the weight that a village child should have. Even if she was a little thin, it would not affect her health.
At this moment, the dark and thin face was gray and the lips were bloodless, as if death was lingering on it.
Her breathing was also very weak and could stop at any time.
Yu Li reached out and touched her face. Her body temperature was very low and cold. The place where she was hit was the back of her head.
Aunt Feng said, "I stopped Zhu Niang's bleeding earlier, but she hasn't woken up yet, and I don't know what will happen to her. I have asked Dalang to go to the county town to get a doctor. The doctor will be here in an hour."
Then he said to Yu Li: "Li Niang, don't worry too much, Zhu Niang will be fine! She is a blessed child, and God will take her away."
Having said that, she looked at Yuzhu with a worried expression.
Aunt Feng saw Yuzhu hit her head with her own eyes.
At that time, the blood splashed out all of a sudden. There was so much blood that she was frightened. She didn't care about anything else and quickly tore her clothes to stop the bleeding.
Yu Li noticed the blood stains on Aunt Feng's clothes and said, "Aunt, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Aunt Feng blamed herself, "If only I had come back earlier."
If she had come back earlier, she might have been able to stop Old Lady Yu from pushing people, and Yu Zhu wouldn't have hit her head.
Yu Li didn't say anything, but turned to ask Yu Jin, "Where's grandma?"
Yu Jin bit her lip, with resentment in her eyes, "Grandma just came over to take a look for a while, and then left."
The west room is too shabby, and the old lady has never been willing to come here. If Yuzhu hadn’t gotten into trouble this time, I’m afraid she wouldn’t have come here.
Yu Li looked at Yu Zhu on the bed for a while, then turned and walked out.
"Sister, where are you going?" Yu Jin asked.
The others also looked at her, even Liu stopped crying, and Yu Laoer had a bad feeling in his heart.
Yu Li said: "I will go find grandma and ask her why she pushed my little sister."
After hearing this, Aunt Feng sighed in her heart. Yu Zhu was already like this, so it was okay for Yu Li, as the eldest sister, to ask. But what was the point of asking? There was nothing she could do.
Yu Laoer and others knew that she was going to settle accounts with Old Madam Yu.
The Daqing Dynasty valued filial piety. Many people believed that children were the private property of their parents. It was right for parents to beat and scold their children. Children could only accept it and could not resist. Even if parents killed their children, as long as there was a reason - such as killing their children to support their mother, they would be praised for being filial.
Of course, not everyone can accept such a truth, but in such an environment, people believe that no matter what parents and elders do to their children, the children should be filial and not pursue the matter.
Just like this time, Grandma Yu caused Yuzhu to hit her head. Even if her granddaughter Yuzhu lost her life because of this, at most she would only be blamed, but she would not pay with her life.
However, Yu Li is different. She is the one who dares to force Old Man Yu to divide the family property, so questioning Old Lady Yu is just a piece of cake.
Yu Laoer opened his mouth but couldn't say anything to ask her not to go. In the end, he remained silent as always.
Liu also turned her face away and did not call her.
-
Yu Li walked out of the courtyard gate of the second house and entered through the main gate of the Yu family.
When she walked in, Yu Laosan and his wife were peeking out from the third room. When they saw her looking at them, they both stiffened.
Wang Shi bravely asked, "Li, Li Niang, is Zhu Niang okay?"
Although they were very scared of Yu Li, the couple were still somewhat concerned about what happened to Yu Zhu. After all, it was a life.
No matter how much they hated the second branch, they would not ignore the life of a younger generation.
Yu Li said: "He hasn't woken up yet."
Her voice was very calm. As the dusk deepened, the calm voice had a special kind of eerieness that made Yu Laosan and his wife shiver involuntarily.
When they met her eyes, their scalps went numb instantly and they couldn't ask anything. They could only watch her walk towards the main room.
Yu Li came to the main room and kicked the closed door open.
The sound of the door breaking made the people in the third room so scared that their hearts beat wildly. Even Yu Qin, who was cooking in the kitchen, ran out in fright, staring in amazement at Yu Li kicking open the door of the main room.
Yu Li stood at the door, looking at the two old men in the room.
Old Man Yu was sitting by the window smoking a pipe, and the room was filled with the smell of cheap earthy tobacco.
Old Mrs. Yu was originally walking around the room in circles, but now she stood there stiffly with her eyes wide open, obviously frightened.
When she met Yu Li's eyes, Old Lady Yu's lips trembled, "Li, Li Niang..."
Mr. Yu doesn't smoke anymore.
The old couple looked at Yu Li at the door with fear.
Yu Li didn't go in. She stood at the door and asked, "Grandma, why are you pushing Zhu'er?"
Old Mrs. Yu almost fell down.
She was so scared that even though Yu Li did nothing but kick the door open, she still felt as if she was being taken away by a ghost from hell.
She was scared, very scared.
"I, I..." She trembled and said, "I didn't mean to do that. She talked back to me and I just pushed her. I didn't know she would fall."
Speaking of this, Old Mrs. Yu also felt very regretful.
If she had known that Yuzhu would hit her head, she would definitely not have done it.
She was used to beating her granddaughters in the past. Although she rarely did that in the past two months because of Yu Li, she was not very afraid when facing her granddaughters Yu Jin and Yu Yin, and it was common for her to push them when she was angry.
Yu Li said: "My little sister is usually very well behaved. She never talks back to others, unless the person says something too harsh and she is not convinced."
As she finished speaking, an uncomfortable look appeared on Old Lady Yu's face.
So what is there to not understand?
Yu Li looked at her deeply, and without asking what bad words she had said, he said, "Grandma, if anything happens to my little sister, you will pay for her life."
Hearing this, Mr. Yu finally couldn't help but shouted: "Yu Li!"
Yu Li was not afraid of him and looked at him quietly.
The anger that Mr. Yu had just built up just dissipated. He calmed himself down and said, "This is indeed your grandma's fault, but she didn't do it on purpose. Besides, it's not reasonable to ask an elder to pay for the life of a younger person. If this gets out, I'm afraid the government will arrest you and put you in jail, and it may even implicate your parents, sister, and the Fu family. You should think carefully about it."
He knew that Yu Li was a crazy person. He did things without thinking, and was not afraid of anything.
But no matter how crazy she is, she still has to consider her parents, sister and husband's family, right?
Old Master Yu only hopes that she can be more rational and not do anything that would cost him his life.
Yu Li was silent for a moment, then said, "You are right."
So she would never let anyone catch her, so as not to implicate them.
There are so many accidents in this world, and she guarantees that something unexpected will happen to Old Mrs. Yu by then.
Old Master Yu had no idea what she was thinking and thought he had convinced her. He even felt happy and thought his granddaughter was not that crazy.
Of course, he knew that the matter was not resolved yet.
In order to dissuade her from paying with her life, Old Master Yu continued, "It was your grandma's fault that Zhu Niang got her head injured this time. We will compensate her."
As for how to compensate, of course it is to give money.
Old Master Yu was reluctant to spend the money, but if he didn't pay some money, he was afraid that Yu Li would not let it go. If Yu Zhu was really gone, she would be so angry that no one knew what she would do.
It would be better to stabilize her first.
Yu Li looked at him coldly, said nothing, and turned away.
After she left, Mrs. Yu, who had been standing there stiffly, felt her legs go limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Even though the weather in early autumn was extremely hot and humid, she broke out in a cold sweat.
**
After dark, Feng Dalang finally came to the village with the doctor.
There were still villagers chatting and enjoying the cool air under the tree at the entrance of the village. When they saw the doctor and Feng Dalang heading towards Yu's house, they started talking again, all talking about whether the doctor could save Yu Zhu.
Now Yuzhu’s injury has become the most concerned topic among the villagers.
The doctor came to the west room where the second branch of the Yu family lived and first checked Yu Zhu's injuries.
When the doctor saw the bloody hole on the back of her head, he gasped and asked in surprise, "How could it be so serious?"
No one spoke. Liu couldn't help sobbing again. Yu Jin and Yu Yin bit their lips tightly, their faces covered with tears.
Yu Laoer also looked at his suffering little daughter in agony, his hands clenched tightly with veins exposed.
Aunt Feng had not left yet and was still standing here. When she heard the doctor's words, her heart sank.
It can’t be that it cannot be saved, right?
Only Yu Li had a calm expression, a pair of cold eyes, and her face flickered in the light.
Although there is no expression on his face, it is inexplicably frightening.
After checking the injury, the doctor treated Yuzhu's head injury.
At first, Aunt Feng just stopped the bleeding roughly and didn't dare to do anything else. The main reason was that the blood hole was really scary. She was afraid that if she didn't handle it well, Yuzhu's injury would be worse, so she decided to wait for the doctor to come and treat it.
After treating Yu Zhu's injuries and applying medicine to her, the doctor took out several prescriptions and asked Yu's family to boil them.
He got this medicine from the pharmacy after learning from Feng Dalang that Yuzhu had hit her head, so that they wouldn't have to run back and forth and waste time.
Yu Jin immediately took the medicine to the kitchen to boil it.
Soon a strong smell of medicine wafted from the west room.
Then the doctor told them some precautions.
Liu, who was beside the bed, asked hoarsely, "Doctor, when will my daughter wake up?"
The doctor couldn't guarantee it and only said it depends on the patient's condition. After all, the human head is very fragile and there was a bloody hole in it. Even he didn't dare to say when she would wake up. She could only leave it to fate.
Although the doctor spoke very tactfully, the people present could hear it.
Liu was heartbroken. She held Yuzhu's hand and lay on the bed sobbing. Yuyin was in tears.
Yu Laoer also choked up.
The doctor shook his head secretly. He had seen a lot of things like this. Birth, aging, sickness, death and accidents were common things. Sometimes even doctors were powerless.
After telling the doctor what to pay attention to, he prepared to leave.
He said to the patient's family, "Give the patient a few doses of medicine first. If he doesn't wake up after drinking it, I will come over to check on him."
The doctor sighed inwardly. Given the girl's injuries, unless a miracle happened, she might remain in a coma and die in her sleep.
It's still so young, really pitiful.
Feng Dalang, who was waiting at the door, sent the doctor back.
It was completely dark and the road was difficult to walk on at night. Fortunately, when Feng Dalang was going to the county town, he met Wang the boatman who was passing by. It was Wang the boatman's boat that Feng Dalang took to the county town, so he was able to invite the doctor back so quickly.
He had told Wang the Duke of Zhou about this in advance. When Wang the Duke of Zhou learned that something had happened to the Yu family, he was very willing to help and said he was willing to give them a ride.
Aunt Feng said to her son, "When you send the doctor back to the county town, you must also be careful and come back safely."
I felt relieved thinking that nothing should go wrong as Wang the boatman would pick me up.
Yu Yin followed him out, handed Feng Dalang a tael of silver, and said softly: "Brother Dalang, please send the doctor back and help us pay for the medicine. If the money is not enough, tell me and I will give you the extra money..."
Feng Dalang was not polite to her. Seeing that the little girl's eyes were swollen from crying, he wanted to comfort her but was tongue-tied and could not say anything. He could only scratch his head and quickly send the doctor away.
Not long after, Aunt Feng also left, leaving only the people from the second wife.
The atmosphere in the room was really depressing. Besides, the room was too narrow to accommodate so many people. It was difficult to even turn around, so Yu Yin persuaded Yu Laoer and his wife to go and have a rest.
"Dad, Mom, it's too late. Go and rest first. We will tell you when my little sister wakes up."
Liu was reluctant to leave. Seeing her little daughter's current state, she had no intention of resting.
In the end, it was Yu Li who spoke up and asked them to leave.
She said, "You guys go back, there's no point staying here."
These words were too sharp and too hurtful. Yu Laoer and his wife were a little hurt. They wanted to say something, but looking at her calm and cold face, they could not say anything and could only leave sadly.
Yu Li sat in front of the bed, staring at Yu Zhu's gray face.
After Yu Jin finished boiling the medicine, she watched the Yu Jin sisters carefully feed the medicine to the unconscious Yu Zhu.
She watched the scene quietly, looking at Yu Jin and Yu Yin who were feeding the medicine, and then at Yu Zhu who was forced to swallow the medicine with difficulty while in a coma.
Humans have always been very fragile creatures.
The end of the world came suddenly, and humans were almost extinct. It was not until thirty years after the end of the world that humans worked hard to develop technology and cultivate genetic warriors, which reversed the situation and allowed the human race to continue.
Unlike the apocalypse that was on the verge of destruction, this world was very safe, with no pollutants or alien species.
The only threats to human life are natural disasters and man-made disasters, and their lethality is limited and will not put humans in danger of extinction.
But the medical level in this world is so low that there is not even any anti-inflammatory medicine. A small cold can be fatal, and a plague can kill everyone in a city.
If it happened in the end times, a bruise like this could be healed with just a repair device.
However, here, it can directly kill people and make them never wake up.
The night gradually deepened.
Yu Li was still sitting on the edge of the bed, straight and motionless.
Sitting with her were the sisters Yu Jin and Yu Yin. They were also unable to sleep. They sat there silently, staring at Yu Zhu's face in a daze.
"Big sister, I'm sure I'll be fine, right?"
Suddenly, Yu Jin asked hoarsely.
In this quiet night, everyone can hear it clearly.
Yu Laoer and his wife who were outside the door also heard it. They covered their eyes in pain and shed tears silently.
Although Yu Li drove them away, they couldn't sleep, so they came to guard the door and sat in front of their daughters' rooms to accompany them.
Yu Li's voice rang out: "Yes."
Her tone was calm, just like every time, no matter what she did, she was so calm.
But to the ears of the Yu Jin sisters, it made them feel at ease.
The Yu family stayed up all night, and fell asleep unknowingly when dawn was about to break.
When everyone fell asleep, Yu Li got up slowly.
She reached out and held Yuzhu's hand on the bed. She felt her heart burning and something in her mind was about to burst out of her body. Her brain was throbbing with pain.
But she endured the pain, allowing it to grow more and more intense, stirring in her brain.
She had always been someone who was very good at enduring pain, but this time, she was in so much pain that her fingers couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, she had a strong idea in her heart.
Human life is so fragile, is there any way to save her sister?
The original owner left and gave her body to herself. Naturally, she would help take good care of her sisters, whom she cared about the most.
She received a body given to her by the original owner, which allowed her to survive in this world. To live again, she had to take responsibility for this body.
It's her responsibility.
Yu Li endured the excruciating pain that felt like a surging sea. To the end, blood oozed from his tightly pursed lips and dripped onto his clothes.
But she said nothing.
She held Yuzhu's hand gently with a calm expression.
Finally, with a bang, something broke out of the cocoon in the body. The intense pain was instantly replaced by a comfortable coolness. The body felt light, and all the heaviness and dizziness disappeared one by one.
All the negative states that had troubled her for more than two months also dissipated at this moment.
Yu Li's body felt more relaxed than ever before, and his mind was extremely clear.
There is a surge of power in the body, extremely subtle, like a stream that is about to dry up, but it also reveals its existence.
In the darkness before dawn, Yu Li's eyes were as bright as stars.
If someone woke up at this moment, they would definitely see a fleeting green light in the depths of her eyes.
Yu Li did not hesitate to transfer the thin stream of power in his body into Yu Zhu's body.
She knew that her awakening period was finally over.
-
When it was just getting light, Yu Laoer, who was guarding the door, suddenly woke up. He stood up abruptly, and the stool under him fell down with him.
The noise woke everyone up.
In the room, when Yu Jin and Yu Yin woke up, they were confused for a moment. Then they thought of something and quickly turned their heads to look at the bed. When they found that Yu Zhu was not awake, they were disappointed. Then they saw Yu Li holding Yu Zhu's hand.
"Sister, you haven't slept yet?" Yu Jin asked.
Yu Li didn't say anything, she just sat there quietly.
Yu Yin was careful and soon discovered that something was wrong with Yu Li.
She was shocked to find that her elder sister was sweating, her face was pale, and her body was a little shaky. Also, there was a dark mark on her chest, which looked like... blood?
At this time, Yu Li let go of Yu Zhu's hand and stood up slowly.
When she stood up, her movements were a little slow and her body swayed slightly.
“Big sister…”
The two sisters looked at her worriedly, thinking that she hadn't slept all night and her body couldn't take it.
They didn't expect that they would fall asleep. They were too tired from working during the day. Although they were worried, they couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep while sitting.
Yu Li said: "I'll go back first, you guys take good care of my little sister, I'll come over when I have time."
Yu Jin and Yu Yin agreed. As Yu Zhu had not woken up yet, the two sisters were in a low mood. Seeing that she was moving freely, they thought she should be fine.
-
Yu Li walked out of the Yu family and headed towards the Fu family in the light of morning light.
But the further she walked, the paler her face became, and her already thin body seemed even thinner.
At this time, many villagers went to work in the fields while the temperature was not high in the early morning.
When they met Yu Li on the road, they all greeted her.
Yu Li didn't respond, not because she didn't want to, but because her vision was blurry and she couldn't hear their voices.
Finally, when another villager greeted her, her body swayed and she fell straight down.
"Leave my mother!"
Someone screamed, but Yu Li couldn't hear the sound clearly, and his consciousness sank into endless darkness.
