Ruyi looked at Su Chengyi lying motionless on the bed, and really didn't know how to make this man get better quickly.
A strong herbal smell mixed with a hint of blood came from the tip of his nose, which made Ruyi, who was already hungry, feel a little nauseous.
Just when she was still worrying about how to answer if someone else came to question her about how she took care of the patients, there was a noise at the door and Song Qing walked in instantly.
When Su Chengyi was carried back, Song Qing was frightened by his horrific injuries.
She originally thought that she could stay and take care of Su Chengyi, and she could also take this opportunity to develop further with Su Chengyi.
However, she didn't expect that her wishful thinking was rejected by the second in command before she could even express it, and the good job was handed to Ruyi. Song Qing was so angry that she almost bit her teeth to pieces.
Thinking that he had missed this good opportunity, Song Qing transferred all his hatred to Ruyi.
However, even though she was angry, she still thought of various ways to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to Su Chengyi. She absolutely could not let Ruyi develop any feelings for him by taking care of Su Chengyi.
Although she felt that a little black girl like Ruyi could not match even one-tenth of her beauty, the leader of their village was also a worldly-wise man and would definitely not have any romantic feelings towards Ruyi.
But Ruyi is the daughter-in-law chosen by their boss for good luck, so in name she is also the boss's person.
If the two of them stayed together for a long time, who knows if Su Chengyi would have any feelings for Ruyi.
After all, for the leader of their village, having three wives and four concubines is a legitimate thing.
That's why Song Qing racked his brains to find a way to use this opportunity to destroy the chance for the two of them to get along.
Since he can't take care of Su Chengyi personally, it should be okay to send some food to Su Chengyi.
Song Qingzai carefully cooked a bowl of millet porridge and planned to send it to Su Chengyi.
This porridge was something she had saved with great difficulty from her own food rations.
On weekdays, the food in their village is limited, and each person has a fixed amount of food to eat.
People like them who hold some official positions can still drink some porridge to fill their stomachs.
It all depends on fate for the elderly, the weak and the sick to have enough food to eat.
If the men in the village hunt a lot of prey, they can get some of it.
If the mountains are blocked by heavy snow or the weather is bad, the men in the village will not be able to catch anything, and the ones who suffer are those who cannot get enough food.
Although the distribution of food was somewhat unfair, no one complained about it.
After all, if even these men don’t have enough to eat, how can they have the energy to go out hunting?
When there is a shortage of food, these men have to go out and rob from time to time so that their village can survive the crisis.
So even though most of the food went into the mouths of these men, the remaining old, weak, and sick people could only find ways to get some food on their own, except for sharing some of the remaining plants.
Children like Goudan even go out in groups to catch insects to eat.
Song Qing has a high status here. Although the food is not good, he is not so hungry that he feels weak all over.
However, in order to attract Su Chengyi's attention and gain a certain position in Su Chengyi's heart, she would slowly save some of her food rations on a daily basis so that she could give the saved food to Su Chengyi and let him feel her sincerity towards him.
Although she had developed this habit very early, the village was short of food and clothing, so it took a long time for her to save some money.
Now that Su Chengyi was so seriously injured and was about to die at any time, he no longer cared about the food he had saved for so long. He took out his treasured millet and made a bowl of millet porridge for Su Chengyi.
But even with a bowl of millet porridge like this, she still had to be on guard against other people trying to steal it.
After all, the weather has been bad recently, there is not much food left in the village, and many people are hungry.
Who knows, someone might get so hungry that he'd want to eat his millet porridge.
Although the people in this village don’t eat well, hungry people have a particularly keen sense of smell.
Whenever anyone smelled any unusual fragrance in the village, they would attract the staring eyes of those extremely hungry people.
Although Song Qing has a certain status in this village, he can use the suppression of his status to make his subordinates obedient.
But there have been other unexpected situations before.
One year, the mountains were covered with snow and the weather was extremely bad.
The men in the village couldn't get out at all.
Su Chengyi originally planned to go out and rob with the strong labor force in the village so that their village could survive this difficult time.
But a group of people waited at the foot of the mountain for several days, but no one passed by.
Even the clue he had gotten before that the wealthy businessman would pass by seemed to be of no use at this moment.
The second-in-command repeatedly assured them that the clues he had obtained were very reliable, and that the wealthy businessman would definitely pass by them in the next two days.
But as time passed, they still didn't see the rich businessman.
There were even two brothers who fainted from the cold because they stayed in the snow for too long.
Finally, Su Chengyi and the men waited for another five days before returning to the village in a dejected mood.
Maybe the rich businessman took another route because of the bad weather. In any case, they didn't gain anything during their five-day trip.
When they failed to rob money and food, the deep mountains were covered with heavy snow, making it almost impossible to go hunting in the mountains.
Moreover, the rolling mountains were covered with heavy snow, and there were almost no living creatures that could come out.
Under such circumstances, food in the village became increasingly scarce, until finally, even the head of the village, Su Chengyi, could not eat more than two meals a day.
Under such a serious situation, the old, weak and sick people in the village have been hungry for several days.
Song Qing finally cooked a bowl of clear millet porridge for Su Chengyi. When he was escorting the millet porridge to Su Chengyi, a hungry young girl rushed out from behind and snatched it away.
The girl was also from the village. Her name was Yuanyang. Although she was quite old, she was very thin due to long-term malnutrition.
Although he was already used to being hungry, he had been hungry for too long this time, and all the living things around him had been caught and eaten by the people in the village.
