Throughout the morning, there was a constant stream of people coming to pay New Year's greetings, and it was only towards noon that things quieted down a bit.
Song Yuehua had packed up the teacups for the guests and was about to cook lunch when she heard a commotion at the door. She went out and saw that it was Dabao and Xiaobao who had returned, and Bai Shu was still carrying Song Xiaocao on his back.
The blood on Song Xiaocao's head dripped onto the ground. Seeing this, Song Yuehua was startled and ran over to ask, "What happened?"
Bai Shu explained, "Dabao fell from the tree, and Xiaocao was trying to catch her. She didn't catch him firmly, and the back of her head hit a rock. Sister Song, please apply some medicine to her."
Song Yuehua immediately carried the person to the kang bed, turned around and said to Bai Shu, "Go to Zhang's house and invite Grandma Xi over."
Bai Shu quickly ran out.
The wound was on the back of the head. Besides blood, there was also dirt on it. It had to be cleaned before applying the medicine powder.
"It will be a little painful, bear with it."
Song Xiaocao was about to nod, but Song Yuehua held her back and said gently, "Don't move."
The wound was cleaned with alcohol. During the whole process, Song Xiaocao didn't say a word. He washed away the dirt on the surface. The wound was not deep, but the bleeding was a bit scary. After washing it thoroughly and applying medicine powder, the bleeding stopped.
"Lie down here and don't move." Song Yuehua asked, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Song Xiaocao lay on the kang, feeling a little awkward.
Song Yuehua just touched her hand, which was icy cold. Although her clothes were a little short and a little torn, they still had cotton. Why did she feel so cold?
"Don't move yet. Have lunch here. I'll go down and tell Aunt Lin." Song Yuehua said.
Just as Song Xiaocao was about to refuse, she was held down again.
Grandma Xi came over to take a look and used sign language to indicate that Song Xiaocao was fine. Only then did Song Yuehua feel relieved.
"Xiaocao, you have a head injury. Can you stay here with me tonight and I will take you back tomorrow?" Song Yuehua asked while squatting beside the kang bed.
Song Xiaocao said nervously, "It's okay, I'm not in pain, no... I won't cause any trouble."
"It's not a trouble. You were injured because of Dabao. If you don't mind, you can stay here tonight. Are you willing?" Song Yuehua asked.
Song Xiaocao bit her lip and nodded slightly, then Song Yuehua calmed her down, "Don't move, be careful not to get hurt."
"Um."
After Song Xiaocao's injury was treated, Song Yuehua went to Zhou's house. After learning that Song Xiaocao was injured, Lin said hurriedly, "I'll carry her back to avoid causing trouble for you."
"She saved Dabao. If I still think she's troublesome, am I still a human being?"
Song Yuehua said, "The main reason is that she hit her head. If she moves too much, I'm afraid she will get sick. Let her rest at my house for a while. I will send her back to you tomorrow. I guarantee that she won't lose a single hair."
Lin smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll go see her later."
At home, Liu Xue also came back. After learning about Song Xiaocao's situation, she pulled Bai Shu over and asked him what had happened and why Dabao climbed the tree.
At that time, Bai Shu was playing with flower strings under a tree with Xiaobao, Xiaomian and Song Xiaocao.
Dabao saw a bird's nest on the tree, and climbed up when no one was paying attention. He climbed a little high, so Baishu hurriedly asked him to come down. Dabao didn't listen, and just moved forward on his own. The branch was too fragile, and Baishu and Song Xiaocao were both under the tree at the time. They both stretched out their hands, trying to catch him, but Dabao fell on Song Xiaocao...
"Then, Song Xiaocao kowtowed." Bai Shu lowered his head and did not dare to raise it.
Song Yuehua brought Dabao over and said, "Sister Xiaocao has a big cut on her head. Did you see it?"
"I saw it." Dabao said in a low voice guiltily.
"Dabao, do you feel bad?" Song Yuehua asked.
Dabao nodded with red eyes.
"It's not impossible to climb a tree. If you have Master Duan's skills, you can climb up to the sky, not to mention the tree," Song Yuehua said, "but your current ability not only can't protect yourself, but also harms others. You must do things within your ability in the future. Do you understand?"
"I understand, big sister." Dabao rubbed his head against Song Yuehua's arm.
Song Yuehua was both angry and amused, so she pointed at the kang room and said, "Don't act like a spoiled child. Sister Xiaocao is staying with us today, and you are responsible for taking care of her."
Liu Xue and Song Yuehua cooked lunch together. Song Yuehua specially prepared an old hen to help Song Xiaocao replenish his blood.
Many more villagers came in the afternoon. When Jiang Mei and Song Dalang came, Liu Xue poured them a bowl of tea. Jiang Mei was very enthusiastic, and Song Yuehua responded indifferently.
At the end, Jiang Mei asked, "Cousin, we are a family. If something happens, you won't abandon us, right?"
"What do you mean?" Song Yuehua asked.
Song Dalang pulled Jiang Mei's sleeve, signaling her not to say anything more. As a result, Jiang Mei pulled her sleeve out of his hand and said seriously.
"I went to Dongshan to check. You also built a wall around the compound. You can't get in from the outside. You have to go through a secret passage. If we have to go to the compound, can our family get in?"
Out of curiosity, Jiang Mei went to check it out once, and after coming back she has been worrying about this matter ever since.
Song Yuehua had resentment and hatred towards the Song family. When the critical moment came, it would be good enough if she didn't add insult to injury. She would never save her enemies. Moreover, Song Daya gave her the impression that she was not a good person.
Song Yuehua understood what she meant and said, "Don't do anything weird. The village head will not ignore you."
"Really!"
Jiang Mei realized that she had lost her composure, but still said happily, "Daya, thank you very much."
Jiang Mei meant the last sentence sincerely.
