Replace and re-order tomorrow...
“We didn’t know that mom was pregnant with my little brother.
She'd been harvesting wheat for two days straight, and just as she was loading it onto the truck, she slipped and fell. "She started bleeding," Shen Yexi said, trying to keep her voice steady. "I was so shocked when I saw the blood."
Pushing his sister out of the house, he said, "It was my eldest brother who reacted quickly and called Xu Bo Niang and the others who were harvesting wheat in the fields.
Everyone unloaded a small cart and carried my mother back, and someone else brought Grandma Qi back on their back..."
"Third sister." Shen Yetang hurriedly held her hand and hugged her: "Mom will be fine. Grandma Qi's medical skills are still good.
Last time, it was she who brought down my fever with her folk remedy."
"Yes, the bleeding has stopped. Granny Qi also said that the patient is safe.
That's right, mother has to stay in bed for a while from now on." Perhaps with her sister's hug, Shen Yexi felt relieved.
She took a deep breath and said in her usual agile manner, "Brother went to Dazhouzhuang to ask the doctor to prescribe medicine.
My second brother sprained his leg while carrying my mother. He is boiling water in the kitchen. You go and take his place."
"Then third sister, please keep an eye on the room. I'll go see second brother." Shen Yetang pushed his sister back to the main room and ran quickly to the kitchen.
Why run? Actually, the Shen family's yard is divided into two houses, east and west yards, but there is no wall in the middle, and the kitchen is only located in the east wing of the east yard.
The farmyard is already large. Shen Yetang's father originally had four brothers, and the land was bought by the older generation a long time ago. The total area is several thousand square meters, plus the backyard is definitely more than three or four acres.
Furthermore, due to the regulations of the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, ordinary farmers could not build five large main houses. So, when the three and a half earthen and half tiled main houses on both sides were not very wide, the courtyard was several dozen meters deep.
Shen Yetang ran into the kitchen and saw his second brother Shen Yu absentmindedly adding firewood to the stove, but he didn't even notice that the water in the big pot was almost boiled dry.
She sighed, turned around, and fetched water from the tank behind the door and added it to the pot.
Shen Yu was awakened and wanted to stand up: "Xiao Si, mother is fine."
"I know." Shen Yetang stepped forward to support his unstable body, ignoring the traces of suspected tears on his face.
He made him sit down to look at his ankles, and saw that his right ankle was swollen. Shen Yetang pushed up the hem of his trousers and prepared to press.
"Don't move, it will be fine tomorrow." Shen Huai was thirteen years old after all, and even though she was his biological sister, he was embarrassed to let her press on him. "Before my elder brother left, he used a cloth soaked in cold water to apply to me."
Shen Yetang: “Ignore it, it won’t get better the day after tomorrow.
Second brother, don't be as pedantic as the scholars in the school. We farmers are not the young masters and young ladies in the big houses.
When working in the fields, everyone has exposed insteps, and when fishing in the water, they have to go barefoot. In the summer, they wear straw sandals without socks.
As she said that, she pressed a few times without paying attention to the dirt: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"here?"
"No...ah, hiss."
"The bones are fine, just the tendons." Shen Yetang said, and one of his hands worked hard to smooth out his swollen tendons. When he slowly pressed the nearby tendons and veins, Shen Yexi heard a cry and ran over: "What's wrong with Second Brother?"
"It's okay." The brother and sister looked up at the same time, "Does mom need any more water?"
Shen Yexi shook her head: "She didn't call me again.
However, we have to prepare some sugar-water eggs to send to the aunts and sisters-in-law who helped us. We have to thank them even if they leave.
At noon, Grandma Qi and Aunt Xu will be invited to have lunch."
"I'll go get the eggs." Shen Yetang stopped what he was doing. "Don't cook them yet. If there aren't many people, give each family a pound of cornmeal and two eggs."
After she woke up completely, she found that there was no shortage of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, and the glass mirror was something she had seen in Grandma Qi's house.
This completely blocked her room for imagination. Fortunately, she had some fighting skills as a consolation prize.
Shen Yexi was in the mood to disdain her and said, “Don’t do that, you haven’t washed your hands yet!
I'll make some sugar-water eggs for Mom first."
She asked the two to move to the side, and when she went to the next storehouse to get eggs, she was still thinking: Xiao Si can also treat injuries? How come she doesn't know?
Shen Yu, who felt a lot of pain in his ankle, also asked: "Xiao Si, who did you learn this from?"
"Do I need to learn it? It's innate." Shen Yetang raised her eyebrows arrogantly. She was about to continue: When she was young, she ran around like crazy and saw Grandma Qi doing the same thing.
But when he pressed the button just now, he subconsciously activated his Dantian and actually sensed the long-lost wood energy, which was transmitted to his second brother's injured area through his hands.
She immediately concentrated on trying to run it again, and after just a few presses, the swelling on her second brother's foot went down.
This? Her original supernatural power was awakened again in this life?
Shen Yu scratched his head and said, "This natural ability is too powerful. The swelling and pain are gone with just a few presses.
Is it really like what the old Taoist priest at the Dao Dao Temple said, that when your soul is fully grown and awake, you will definitely be different from ordinary people? "
"Which temple is this Taoist priest from?!" Shen Yetang's voice suddenly became shrill. Is there really someone in this world who can see through people's souls?
Just then Shen Yexi came back and said: "The Daoguan in Dingzhou is quite magical.
When you were a child, you would scream in the middle of the night while you were sleeping, jump out of bed and run away, saying things like "lions and leopards are running fast", and you wouldn't be at peace for a whole half month.
Dad and mom will run forty or fifty miles to find the Taoist priest in the Laojun Temple of the Dadao Temple to collect your soul."
"Dingzhou? Zhengding Prefecture?" Shen Yetang felt a little relieved and began to wash his hands with a basin.
Shen Yu corrected her, "You are wrong. It is not Zhengding, but Zhending Prefecture, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the capital and second only to Shuntian Prefecture.
Dingzhou is a scattered prefecture under Zhending Prefecture, governing four counties, and is located dozens of miles east of us.
There are many counties under Zhending Prefecture, and it is in the south, more than a hundred miles away from us."
"Oh oh." Shen Yetang felt dizzy. Anyway, she didn't quite understand the changes in the names of the prefectures in history. She jumped out of the door and said, "I'll go see mom."
"Don't go in!" Shen Yexi warned her from behind.
She waved her little hands behind her and ran to the west yard. When the cat saw the east window was open, it went forward and looked inside.
On the cool kang in the room, Tu had woken up, but her face was extremely pale. Xu was covering her with a thin quilt. The smell of blood wafted from the basin and bloody clothes on the ground.
Granny Qi, who had put away the silver needle, saw the little head popping out of the window and raised her hand and said, "Your mother needs to take medicine. Go to the village entrance to see if your eldest brother has returned."
"Okay." But Shen Yetang turned and went into the house, holding Tu's hand beside the kang to give her energy: "Mom, my third sister is cooking sugar-water eggs for you."
However, she felt dizzy after only transferring a little, and her Dantian was empty! Shen Yetang's face was not good in her anxiety.
Seeing that she was frightened, Mrs. Tu forced a smile and shook her hand: "Mom is not hungry, you guys eat."
Xu glanced at Shen Yetang, jumped off the kang and said, "Go with your aunt to pick up your eldest brother."
He then pulled the people out to the yard and said, "I didn't let you into the house because I was afraid you would be scared and make my sister-in-law worry.
Look at what happened just now. Your mother couldn't even take care of herself and still had to take care of you."
"I won't do that next time, Auntie." Shen Yetang knew she had misunderstood and said hurriedly, "You take a rest. I'll go get my brother."
