Chapter 164: Don’t Lose Your Respect
Although many people in the village told them that they had heard of such a folk remedy from quack doctors before, and the Lu family had no reason to lie, the most important thing was that Ding Mei was not fully cured after taking the pill. For example, she became mute. Could they just ignore it?
Sun was so upset that she grabbed Ding De's sleeve and wiped her tears: "Her father, please say something."
"What are you talking about?"
Ding De was now furious. He wanted to beat someone up, and his hatred for Ding Xiaodie increased a bit, but Ding Xiaodie had the support of the Lu family, so he could only suppress his anger.
Dingxiang blinked her big eyes, looked at her parents, and then at her sister.
In order to take care of her family, the whole village rushed out and built a simple shed for her family in the middle of the forest so that Ding Mei could recuperate.
What the three of them are saying now cannot be heard by others.
Ding Xiang then bravely said, "Mom, I think saving my sister is the most important thing. I can't worry about other things anymore."
"You know shit." Sun was just getting mad when she heard her usually quiet little daughter interrupt. She couldn't control herself and slapped Ding Xiang's face. Then, through gritted teeth, she asked, "If your sister drinks that urine, it'll be hard for her to get married. You're trying to hurt her, you little bitch."
Ding Xiang was hit by this sudden slap, and her eyes were full of stars. Her face was instantly swollen with several finger marks. However, her eyes were filled with tears of grievance, but she did not cry. Instead, she choked and said, "But what if the poison can't be cured and my sister dies?"
Sun cursed: "You still say that you are not a good person at such a young age, and you dare to curse your sister."
After she finished speaking, she was about to hit him again, but Ding De stopped her: "Okay, actually, what Ah Xiang said is right. If you don't let Ah Mei drink, then she may be mute forever. You didn't even ask Ah Mei if she is willing."
Having said this, everyone seemed to remember the protagonist, and all three pairs of eyes looked at Ding Mei.
After Ding Mei woke up, she felt extremely uncomfortable all over and couldn't speak, but she was just poisoned, not stupid.
In fact, his brain is still as sharp as before.
She had not heard Qiuju's words before because she was in a coma. Now she realized that in order to completely cure the poison in her body, she needed to use this key folk remedy.
this! ! ! ? ? o(╥﹏╥)o
If you ask her to drink urine, how can she get married in the future?
It would be better to let her die.
Thinking of this, the mute Ding Mei shed tears and shook her head like a gong: Dad, Mom, please forgive me!
Sun was heartbroken at this scene and quickly went forward to hug her daughter. "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. Let's not drink it. I don't believe that the poison won't slowly dissipate. Let's drink more water and sweat. Maybe we'll be fine!"
Ding De was deeply surprised and said, "Amei, if you don't drink urine, you will never be able to speak again, and you won't be able to get married either. You should think it over carefully."
After hearing this, Ding Mei shook her head and her tears fell faster!
Just when the family was struggling over whether to drink urine, Ding Xiaodie went to the Lu family's territory alone.
Time was passing by minute by minute. After watching Ding Mei's poisoning scene, the villagers all wilted again. It was so hot that everyone scattered and found a tree to stay under to keep out the coolness. Fatigue made them a little drowsy.
In this situation, we didn't dare to cook, and we were tired and hungry, so our willpower was on the verge of collapse.
But Ding Xiaodie and her mother did not dare to relax for a moment. They carefully observed the shadows of the trees and estimated the time. They felt that Master Lu and his men had been gone for about an hour and a half, so they hurried to the Lu family to ask for advice.
But Madam Lu was very at ease. She took Ding Xiaodie's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, you don't know our master. When he meets a learned person like this, he will chat for a long time. Sometimes he can even forget the time. Don't worry!"
But……
This is not right. Usually, Mr. Lu has a love for talents and it's fine if he can chat with others, but now is an extraordinary period. There are fires all over the mountains behind and desert soldiers who are likely to cross the ditch. The way forward is to survive without hesitation.
In this situation, no matter how much Mr. Lu loves talents, it is impossible for him to have a detailed discussion with others, right?
But looking at Mrs. Lu's tired face, Ding Xiaodie had to swallow back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Forget it. Although Madam Lu comes from a wealthy family, she is also a little flower in a greenhouse. She has not experienced any big storms. There is no need to say useless words to scare her.
Ding Xiaodie then smiled: "With Madam's words, I feel relieved!"
Mrs. Lu patted her hands gently: “Don’t leave in a hurry, I have something to give you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiuju brought up a neatly folded dress. It was light brown in color, with fine and dense stitching, and the white material edge was very delicate.
"Xiao Die, you've grown taller, so you need to change your clothes. I originally thought it would be so beautiful for a pretty girl like you to wear colorful clothes, but now we are on the road to escape famine, and wearing too bright clothes would be bad for you. I made this dress for you using Qiu Ju's old clothes. You can wear it for now, and when we stop in Wo County, I will make you something nicer."
In this day and age, being able to wear clothes without patches is considered wealthy, not to mention that Qiuju's clothes were made of good material to begin with.
Looking at the fine and dense stitches, Ding Xiaodie was filled with gratitude and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Madam Lu."
She didn't expect that on such a tiring journey of fleeing famine, Mrs. Lu would still think of considering the dignity of a strange girl like her.
What is decent?
In my previous life, let alone cropped pants, anything shorter than this would do. As long as it showed off my long legs, I could wear it however I wanted.
But in this era, being tall like her and having half of her calf exposed was considered indecent. People didn't care about that when she was fleeing from famine, but if she lived in the village, she would definitely be criticized.
Ding Xiaodie wanted to kneel down to thank him, but Lu Xingluo held her up and scratched her nose: "Silly girl, your mother really loves you, why are you being so formal?"
Instantly, Ding Xiaodie's eyes felt hot.
"Xingluo, don't bully Xiaodie." Seeing the little girl about to cry, Mrs. Lu scolded her son to break the mood. Then, she smiled and put the clothes in Xiaodie's arms: "Go back and find a secluded place to change your clothes. Throw away the clothes you are wearing!"
"good!!"
Ding Xiaodie still couldn't control herself, the corners of her mouth twitched, and tears almost fell.
Lu Xingluo quickly shook his hands: "Okay, okay, I won't dare anymore!"
His reaction made Ding Xiaodie burst out laughing. "Second Young Master, I was just about to tell you, please go check on the villagers and give them some encouragement. Everyone loses their energy after a break!"
"Okay, I'll go with you." Lu Xingluo immediately patted his chest to express his opinion.
