Xu Xingchen went home with Zhou Xiaoniang. As soon as they entered the door, a strong smell of blood came over.
A nearby villager, who had come to visit, shook his head as he walked out: "This heavy snow has blocked the mountains, and everyone has no land to farm. They can only risk their lives to make some money for their families. How pitiful!"
Zhou Xiaoniang stumbled into the room, threw herself on the bed and started crying again.
"Shuanzi, you can't leave me!"
Xu Xingchen wrinkled his nose and looked at the motionless man on the bed.
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, you would have no idea that he was still alive.
The gauze wrapped around his body was already soaked with blood, and in some places even raw bones were exposed. This was because it was so cold today. If it were summer, maggots would have grown on the rotten flesh!
Xu Xingchen gently touched his forehead, which was surprisingly hot.
She made a quick check and found that the man seemed to have rolled down a cliff. Although there was almost no intact skin on his body, his internal organs were protected, so he was still holding on.
Then the nutrients... should be able to save him.
Xu Xingchen glanced at Zhou Xiaoniang who was crying miserably and sighed helplessly.
"Don't cry, I can save him."
Zhou Xiaoniang froze, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at her expectantly: "Really?"
Xu Xingchen nodded: "Go get some clean water."
Although Zhou Xiaoniang didn't believe that this ordinary young widow could save the patient that even Doctor Li couldn't, she didn't care whether it was true or not and crawled out of the door.
Xu Xingchen took out the remaining bottle of nutrient solution from the system backpack and hid it in his palm. When Zhou Xiaoniang brought some clean water, he secretly dripped some in.
"This is my exclusive secret recipe, guaranteed to save your husband's life."
Xu Xingchen pretended to grab a handful of roof dust from under the eaves and put it into the bowl of water, muttering something incomprehensible for a long time.
Finally, she suddenly opened her eyes, shouted loudly, and handed the bowl to Zhou Xiaoniang, who was frightened by her performance.
"Here, give it to him."
Zhou Xiaoniang looked at the gray water surface, took the bowl over doubtfully, and fed the man on the bed little by little with a spoon.
As the water in the bowl gradually decreased, the man's pale face actually gradually eased a little.
“It works, it really does!”
Zhou Xiaoniang shouted excitedly and became more careful when feeding the child water.
Xu Xingchen also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this nutrient supplement was also very effective on humans.
She straightened the broken leg bone and went to the yard to find a clean piece of wood to tie it tightly to prevent a deformed leg from growing under the catalysis of the nutrient.
Zhou Xiaoniang did not dare to neglect feeding him water. The bowl of water was soon empty and Shuanzi's fever slowly subsided.
Listening to his steady breathing, Xu Xingchen's heart finally settled down.
"Then I'll..."
thump!
Before Xu Xingchen could come to his senses, Zhou Xiaoniang bent her knees and knelt heavily on the ground.
Her face was full of guilt and she slapped herself twice.
"Sister Xu, it's my fault. I was blinded by greed and wanted to use this to blackmail you!"
Zhou Xiaoniang really wanted to bang her head against this pillar and die. Xu Xingchen was such a kind and good man, and he even lent her money during the famine. How could she...
Xu Xingchen was startled by her and subconsciously wanted to help her up.
Unexpectedly, this usually cowardly woman was exceptionally stubborn at this moment. She bit her lip and continued, "I know this has nothing to do with you. I was just looking for someone to help me, but, but I really have no other choice..."
As she spoke, tears gushed out of her round almond-shaped eyes and dripped onto her dirty patched clothes.
"If I don't have money, I won't be able to treat Shuanzi's injuries. The medicine is too expensive. I, I can't afford it at all!"
Zhou Xiaoniang wiped away the tears from her eyes and said, "I'm different from you. I'm too weak. Without the head of the family, I can't survive..."
Xu Xingchen sighed lightly and pulled her up.
"It's just a piece of cake."
Zhou Xiaoniang shook her head fiercely, her eyes filled with determination.
"Maybe it's just a simple bowl of water to you, but to me, you are the reborn parent of Shuanzi and me!"
Her voice was hoarse from crying and trembling slightly, but there was not a trace of falsehood in it. "Sister Xu, you are a good person, and you will definitely be rewarded."
When Xu Xingchen came out of the house holding the potatoes that Zhou Xiaoniang had forced upon her, she was actually feeling a little depressed.
Zhou Xiaoniang's sincere blessing echoed in her ears, and she felt inexplicably dazed.
Nice guy? No, she just wanted to finish the task quickly and leave.
Being thrown onto this desolate planet and given such an embarrassing identity, she was quite resentful at first.
But after coming into contact with these ignorant yet flesh-and-blood people, she really couldn't regard them as just data for the mission.
Xu Xingchen looked back at Zhou Xiaoniang who was busy serving the man, and felt quite emotional.
The women here have been raised to be quails sweeping the house, without any social value at all.
She looked around, and the surrounding scenery was so white that it was dazzling.
Xu Xingchen clenched his fists and made a decision secretly.
She must find a way to help the people in this village get out of poverty and become rich!
She was thinking about how to cook the potatoes when she got home, and in the blink of an eye she arrived at her own small thatched hut.
Just as Xu Xingchen was about to push the door open, he heard bursts of babyish cries coming from inside the house.
“Eat, eat!”
Munduner?
Xu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, put the potatoes into the kitchen, and quickly walked into the main room.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a fairy-like moon-white figure.
Is there someone entering the house?
Xu Xingchen subconsciously clenched his fists.
She clearly locked the door before leaving. It's okay if it's just Mundun, but how did such a big man get in?
Munduner, standing by, was holding a small piece of dry Hu pancake and stretching out his chubby arm to feed it into the man's mouth.
The "immortal" just chuckled, and the clear sound was like a gurgling spring.
"Mundun'er, eat it yourself."
Munduner tilted his little head, crawled up along his calf, and stuffed the Hu pancake into his mouth.
"Munduner!"
Xu Xingchen hurried in, took his little son into his arms, and looked at the strange man in front of him warily.
"I'm sorry, Mundun'er is ignorant."
Her eyes fell on the man's handsome face and she was shocked.
There is such a handsome man in this small village?
The man's dark pupils darkened slightly, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
"It's okay, I'm... a friend of Mundun'er."
