Chapter 432 Qiu Niang
After a short rest, Xie Jiaojiao urged everyone to set off.
After all, it’s not safe at the foot of the mountain at this late hour!
Cuizhu woke up once in the middle, but fainted again after saying a few words.
Lai Fu carried her on his back again.
A Tian A said that he could walk, so Jiang Weinan tied Xiao Xiao to his body, supported Xie Jiaojiao, and the group walked forward with difficulty.
Xiaoxiao cried many times in the middle because she was very hungry. Her cries became louder and louder each time, and now she is just whimpering.
I don’t know how long I walked, but I saw a bright moon in the sky and finally I saw a village.
Only then did a glimmer of hope appear on the faces of several people.
Xie Jiaojiao only felt that her feet were numb from the pain. It was so cold at night that she couldn't even move her toes.
Several people arrived at the door of a house where the lights were still on.
Lai Fu knocked on the door.
"Is anyone there? Excuse me!"
After a while the door was opened.
It was an old man wearing a cotton coat and holding a lantern in his hand.
Staring at them with a wary look.
"who are you?"
Jiang Weinan came up and said, "Old man, we were on our way to visit relatives. We ran into robbers on the way. We lost our belongings and ran away. Then we ran into a hungry wolf on the way, and it hurt my wife and my sister!"
When the old man looked, he saw that the person on Lai Fu's back was indeed unconscious, and the other woman's legs looked obviously wrong and her face was very pale.
This group of people looked very embarrassed...
Jiang Weinan said, "It's too cold outside, the children are young, and we are all hungry. I wonder if you could be kind enough to let us stay for one night and give us some food. We can pay you!"
The old man looked at them for a long time, and finally turned around and went back into the house with the lamp. The few people stood there awkwardly.
"Master, does he not want us to stay overnight?"
Jiang Weinan shook his head and said nothing: "Wait and see what happens."
Not long after, the old man came out again, followed by another person who looked much better dressed.
He looked at them with a scrutinizing look, and finally asked, "Who are you going to Mohe to visit?"
Mohe? Mohe is ahead?
Xie Jiaojiao said: "I'm visiting my sister, Madam Du from Du Embroidery Workshop!"
The man frowned slightly, then nodded slightly to the old man.
The old man smiled and said, "Come in, everyone!"
The old man said, and called out, "Qiu Niang, come and help."
A woman with a headscarf ran out.
"I'm coming."
Qiu Niang was also a capable person. She immediately helped Xie Jiaojiao up as soon as she saw her.
"How come the girl is injured so badly!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled helplessly.
The two kids, A Tian and A Di, were a little shy and grabbed Jiang Weinan's trouser legs tightly.
As soon as they entered the room, it became warm. Everyone saw that there were many packed bags on the couch in the room.
Qiu Niang looked at Xie Jiaojiao's trouser legs and said in surprise: "Oh, I didn't notice just now, the sister's leg injury is so serious!"
Xie Jiaojiao said with a pale face: "I was bitten by that hungry wolf."
When she said this, everyone in the room sighed.
Jiang Weinan felt even more distressed.
Qiu Niang said, "You can't bandage it like this. Sister, come to my room and I'll bandage it for you again and change your dirty clothes."
Jiang Weinan was a little worried. Xie Jiaojiao shook her head slightly at him, and Qiu Niang helped her to go to the next room.
When they got into the house, Qiu Niang enthusiastically found a set of clean clothes for Xie Jiaojiao.
"Sit here. I'll get you a basin of hot water. Wipe yourself clean and change your clothes so you can feel more comfortable."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Thank you for troubling Sister Qiuniang."
Qiu Niang waved her hand: "It's just a simple matter! Wait!"
Xie Jiaojiao leaned against the wall and felt drowsy.
The old man over there brought the rice soup from home, and Jiang Weinan quickly fed it to Xiaoxiao.
The little baby's face, which was crying just now, suddenly became like he wanted to hold the spoon and chew on it, smacking his lips.
The old man looked at her and said with a smile, "Why does this kid like rice soup so much?"
Jiang Weinan smiled and said, "She's used to it."
The old man smiled and said, "He's an easy kid to raise!"
Over there, A Tian and A Di each held a bowl and drank a whole bowl of rice. In the hearts of the two children, they had never thought that white rice was so delicious.
Jiang Weinan found out after talking about the records.
The family's surname is Huang. Mr. Huang was born and raised in this village. His wife passed away a few years ago. He has only one daughter in his life. His daughter's name is Huang Qiuxue, who is Qiu Niang just mentioned. The one who just came out with him is his son-in-law. The son-in-law usually helps others run business, so he usually lives in Mohe with his daughter to make it convenient for them to do work.
Today, his daughter and son-in-law came back to see him, and took him to Mohe to live for a while. He is old and his health is getting worse, so his daughter wanted him to go to Mohe to enjoy a good life with them!
They are packing up overnight!
The old man spoke with a look of pride on his face.
Qiu Niang brought the water and woke up Xie Jiaojiao.
Then he went out and let Xie Jiaojiao clean up by herself.
After Xie Jiaojiao finished cleaning up, she felt much more comfortable.
Qiu Niang brought in the food: "Don't be disgusted by the leftovers from dinner!"
Xie Jiaojiao quickly said, "How could that be?"
Qiu Niang handed it to her and then reached out to look at the wound on her foot.
Xie Jiaojiao felt a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I'll help you. My husband is often out doing business, and he's often injured here and there, so I know a little bit. I'll get some shochu. You have to pour shochu on your wound, otherwise it will easily fester."
The man then went out again, and when he came back, he held a small jar of wine.
Xie Jiaojiao also finished her meal. After eating the meal, she felt much better all over.
Qiu Niang carefully lifted her legs and clicked her tongue a few times: "It's almost like you can see the bones. I don't know how you can endure it!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's too cold, it doesn't hurt that much!"
Qiu Niang looked at her distressedly and said, "Bear with it, it will be a little painful."
Xie Jiaojiao nodded, but when the burning knife was really poured on her, she still shivered in pain.
Qiu Niang blew on her to relieve her pain.
Seeing that Xie Jiaojiao stopped shivering, he stopped blowing.
"You are a strong person. You didn't say a word. If it was my wife, I don't know how she would scream."
Xie Jiaojiao thought this woman had a really good personality!
While Qiu Niang re-bandaged her, she asked her, "I see that you are all well-dressed, and you must be from a wealthy family. I didn't expect you to be so hard-working."
"I come from a farming family, so I can endure some hardships."
Qiu Niang didn't believe it and thought that Xie Jiaojiao might not want to tell her the truth. However, she didn't care. After bandaging Xie Jiaojiao, she let her rest in this room.
Xie Jiaojiao said to her, "Qiuniang, can you tell them to send Cuizhu to this room to be with me?"
"Why not? I saw that girl was injured and sent here, so I can bandage her up."
"Trouble..."
Qiu Niang smiled and waved her hand: "Don't be so polite..."
