Xia Tian patted his chest, took a deep breath, and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that the villagers who had been digging wild vegetables just now were running towards that direction.
"Nothing will happen, right?" Xia Tian muttered softly, then quickly reacted and followed the people around him to run towards the place where the scream had just happened.
When we got there, we found out that it was a young wife in the village who was frightened.
Just now, when digging wild vegetables, the young daughter-in-law felt a little pain in her waist and wanted to stand up to relieve it. As a result, as soon as she stood up, she turned her head and made eye contact with a snake on the tree next to her.
The young wife was frightened out of her wits in an instant, but fortunately her loud scream probably scared the snake, and by the time everyone got to it, the snake had already run away.
At this moment, everyone was surrounding the young daughter-in-law, asking questions at once.
Xia Tian squeezed over to take a look. The young wife was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face was still a little pale, and she probably hadn't recovered from the shock just now.
One of the aunts, who was probably in her fifties, joked, "Xiaoqing's mother, you are useless too. What is there to be afraid of? If I were your aunt, I would definitely catch him and we would have meat to eat today."
Xiaoqing's mother is the young daughter-in-law who was frightened by the snake just now.
Unexpectedly, although she looks young, she is already a mother.
Xia Tian was secretly shocked!
Everyone listened to what the aunt said and gradually relaxed. Although the villagers also ate snake meat, not many women dared to catch it directly.
It is normal for villagers to encounter snakes because they often go up the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.
But generally everyone will take precautions in advance, such as taking a stick and knocking while walking to scare away snakes in the grass, or tying up the cuffs of sleeves and trouser legs to prevent insects and ants from getting in.
Xiaoqing's mother's sudden action just now could really scare someone to death.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Xia Tian thought that if he had encountered it, he would probably not be in a good situation either.
After the scare just now, no one was in the mood to continue digging vegetables, so they packed up and walked down the mountain together.
When I got home, it was around a little after twelve o'clock.
Xia Tian put the things under the shed, went to the kitchen to drink a bowl of cold boiled water, opened the lid of the pot and saw that the rice was still in the pot. Shen Nian had not eaten yet.
When he reached the door of the upper room, he was about to lift the door curtain and secretly look at what Shen Nian was doing.
Before I could move, I heard a suppressed cough coming from the room, which lasted for a long time.
These past two days, he didn't take any medicine and had a good appetite when eating. I thought he was just weak and coughed occasionally, and it wasn't as serious as the villagers said.
Hearing the coughing today, one after another, I'm afraid he might be coughing up pneumonia.
After Shen Nian finished coughing, Xia Tian went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of warm water and brought it in, "Brother Shen, have a drink of water!"
Shen Nian was leaning on the quilt at this time, his face was still a little pale, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and the veins on his hand covering his chest were bulging. After a while, he took the bowl and drank a sip of water.
Xia Tian watched Chen Nian finish the water, took the bowl, went to the kitchen to get a wooden basin, added some warm water, brought it to the upper room, took Chen Nian's towel, dipped it in the water, wrung it dry, and handed it to him.
Shen Nian took the towel and slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead. The coughing just now made him feel a little weak.
Xia Tian saw Shen Nian's slow movements and knew that he had not yet recovered.
He stepped forward and took the towel from Shen Nian’s hand, threw it again, and without giving it to him again, he said directly, “Brother Shen, let me help you wipe it.”
Shen Nian was really unable to do it, so he nodded slightly. Xia Tian then supported Shen Nian's head with one hand and gently wiped the sweat off his face and neck with a towel in the other hand.
Shen Nian watched Xia Tian's movements, his body slightly stiffening, no girl had ever been so close to him before.
Xia Tian also felt Shen Nian’s discomfort, and moved his body slightly, thinking to himself that he had never taken care of others like this before.
In my previous life, I was determined not to get married, so I remained single until I was in my thirties.
Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, I was able to do the babysitting job very well.
It’s true that people sing the song that suits their situation. The adaptability is amazing!
Xia Tian finished complaining about himself in his heart and threw the towel down again. Seeing that Shen Nian had sweated so much just now, he probably needed to change his inner clothes.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Brother Shen, let me help you wipe your back as well. After that, you can change your inner clothes so that you will feel more comfortable."
After a pause, he probably didn't expect Xia Tian to say that.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Shen Nian didn’t say anything, Xia Tian thought that she might be unwilling.
Just as he was about to say forget it and not wipe it anymore, he saw Shen Nian slowly take off his outer clothes, wearing a white inner garment, and turned around and lay on the kang.
Xia Tian was stunned. Should I wipe it or not?
Looking at the back of Shen Nian's head, Xia Tian resignedly stepped forward, lifted up her inner garment with one hand, and reached in with a towel with the other hand to quickly wipe her back.
He let go, pulled the clothes straight, said, "Okay, change your clothes!", then picked up the wooden basin and walked out of the room quickly.
Standing in the yard, he took a deep breath and then picked up the basin to pour water.
Why did I feel like I was more nervous than Shen Nian just now?
It's really incomprehensible. She is an old lady and has seen all kinds of scenes.
Xia Tian shook his head and prepared to make lunch.
I picked some bitter herbs dug from the mountains, washed them, blanched them, and made a cold dish.
She chopped up the Chinese toon and fried an egg. She then heated up the shredded potatoes and rice that she had prepared in the morning and brought them to the table in the upper room.
Watching Shen Nian eating calmly, Xia Tian finally couldn't help but said, "Brother Shen, let's go see a doctor. Even if you take some medicine to relieve it, you will feel better."
