It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 28 Saving People (November [-] of the Lunar Calendar)
Every year in late November of the lunar calendar, the young and strong laborers in Sujia Village will organize a winter roundup.

Early this morning, I saw a group of middle-aged men passing by Su Rui's house.

Su Chenrui's sharp eyes saw Su Changle and Su Changying, and hurriedly said hello, "Uncle Chang Le, Uncle Chang Ying, please do your best."

Su Changying smiled generously at Su Rui and her siblings, "Okay, wait for Uncle to bring you a big wild boar to eat."

"Uncle, be careful."

Su Changle nodded, "We have a lot of people, so don't worry."

After they left, Su Rui also carried a pannier: "You guys stay at home honestly, eldest sister goes out for a while."

Su Ying hurriedly held her back, "Eldest sister, you don't want to be rounded up too, do you?"

Looking at the worried eyes of her younger siblings, Su Rui chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Eldest Sister won't go into the mountains. She's just walking around to see if she can harvest some pheasants and rabbits."

"Sister, our family has chickens and rabbits, we don't eat other meat, so don't go there."

Su Rui patted their heads: "Be obedient"

After finishing speaking, she turned and walked out of the yard. Su Rui thought to herself, if she didn't find an excuse to go up the mountain, how would she get the pheasants and eggs out of the space?
Finding a place sheltered from the wind, Su Rui took out five pheasants and more than 30 eggs, and just put them into the basket.

Hearing a moan, Su Rui looked at the bushes not far away, hesitantly picked up the stick from the ground, and walked over slowly...

He walked in and saw that it was indeed a person. He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and then pushed it again. The person let out a groan, slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly, "Girl, girl, I got hurt a little. Please save me, I will repay you in the future"

Raising his hand, he pointed at his left shoulder and thigh.

Su Rui took a glance, and saw that this man was about twenty years old, with a handsome appearance, but at this time his face was pale due to excessive blood loss...

Seeing that the man was well dressed, Su Rui presumably was a son of a rich family. She didn't want to save him at first, for fear of causing trouble to her upper body.

But he couldn't pass the barrier in his heart, so he resigned himself to supporting him, "Can you still walk?"

The man nodded weakly...

Su Rui carefully lifted him up and tried to walk a few steps.

"The wound on your shoulder must be treated with medicine, and the calf seems to be broken, so it must be healed as soon as possible."

After a pause, he continued: "My house is at the foot of the mountain, and there are no residents around."

The man heard her unfinished words: "Thank you girl, please help me get the medicine when the time comes."

Su Rui knows she guessed right, someone is after him...

"We are thirty miles away from the county seat, and the only one who had an ox cart when we were acquainted also went into the mountain this morning to participate in the roundup. I don't know when he will go down the mountain. Now there is an old doctor in the village. If you don't mind, go back to him and get some wound medicine to stop the bleeding. Apply it to you."

He knew that the villagers came to hunt on the mountain today, and it wasn't the movement of those villagers that scared away the pursuers. He probably was finished too: "Then thank you girl..."

Seeing that this person was getting weaker and weaker, as if he was about to faint, Su Rui hurriedly quickened her pace and stopped talking.

At the gate of the courtyard, Su Rui couldn't help herself anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "Chen Rui, Second Sister, Third Sister, come and help me."

The three siblings walked out of the room and saw the elder sister helping a young man, and immediately became nervous, "Elder sister, who is he?"

At this time, the man was already unconscious, and he just walked forward out of instinct...

"Don't ask so many questions, hurry up and help, second sister, light the kang in the side room and spread the bedding."

"Third sister, you take the basket into the stove, and use less hot water."

Su Rui took out some copper coins and handed them to Su Chenrui, "Chen Rui, go to Grandpa Lu and tell me that my arm was injured and I bled a lot. Ask him to prescribe some medicine."

"If he wants to come and see, you just say that you don't need to bother, and that there are elders who can help with the medicine."

Su Chenrui agreed and ran away quickly. Su Ying spread the kang, and quickly helped put the man on the kang.

Su Rui held a few sticks, pulled some cloth strips, and when the hot water came, Su Ying helped, and took off his outer pants, leaving the inner pants, and pulled up the calf pants, only a piece of water was seen. Redness and swelling.

Seeing the same injury as Su's father when he broke his leg, Su Qiao exclaimed, "Sister, what's going on? Did he roll down the hill too?"

Su Rui was amazed in her heart, she was able to walk down the mountain with such a serious injury, her physical fitness was really extraordinary, and she kept scrubbing her hands.

"It's broken, so fix it quickly, or you'll be crippled in the future."

Su Rui asked Su Ying and Su Qiao to hold on to the stick, and tied it tightly. Su Rui was sweating from exhaustion, but the man just frowned tightly, and didn't cry out because of the pain.

Su Chenrui will be back now, and ran to lie on his side: "Eldest sister, the medicine has been brought back, but Grandpa Lu was still worried about coming over. I didn't let him come over."

"Grandpa Lu also said that if the bleeding doesn't stop, call him."

Su Rui nodded, and told Su Ying, "Second sister, wash a cloth, and Chen Rui and we will give him medicine."

The outer shirt was taken off, and the inner shirt was drenched with blood, it was blood red...

After taking off his underwear, he saw a deep stab wound with a diameter of five or six centimeters, which was obviously caused by a sword wound.

Applying the hemostatic wound medicine given by Grandpa Lu, Su Rui signaled Su Chenrui to help the man up, and carefully wrapped it in gauze.After doing everything well, the man is still not awake, as if he has fallen into a deep sleep...

Su Rui washed her hands, and told Su Chenrui: "Chen Rui, look at this person, I'll make the medicine."

Entering the kitchen room to prepare medicine for that person, seeing that Su Qiao was already frying, Su Rui smiled gratifiedly.

"Qiaoer, thank you for your hard work."

Su Qiaorou shook her head and chuckled softly: "Eldest sister, it's hard work for you to take care of us. But, elder sister, you are really good at catching so many pheasants."

Su Rui rubbed her nose with a guilty conscience, "Well, I just met a nest. I don't know if I was frightened by the people rounded up in the morning, so I didn't run away when I saw them."

"By the way, kill all five of them."

Su Ying was surprised: "Sister, why don't we keep this?"

Su Rui shook her head: "An adult pheasant has a strong temper. As long as you tie it up, it won't eat or drink. It won't be long before it will starve to death or lose weight. If you don't tie it up, it will fly away."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Besides, we also need to give New Year's gifts to the old house during the Chinese New Year. It is enough for our family to have enough eggs to eat."

Su Ying understood, "Then eldest sister, you can rest for a while, and Qiaoer and I will kill the chicken in a while."

Su Rui nodded, "Well, take out a hen to make soup, and freeze the rest in the snow nest."

After speaking, Su Rui went back to the back room, and saw Su Wan playing on the kang with Su Chennan.

Su Rui opened her arms and said to Su Chennan, "Chen Nan, come and let the elder sister hug you."

The little guy ran over bumpily, "Sister, give me a hug."

Su Wan was sour again, she pouted her lips, "Eldest sister, you are always partial to my younger brother, and you don't take the initiative to hug me."

Putting down Su Chennan, she tapped Su Wan's nose a little: "You little vinegar bag, I'll eat my brother's vinegar."

"Hmph" Su Wan turned her head arrogantly...

In the evening, the man finally woke up.

Su Rui took the bowl of chicken soup, went into the side bed and asked, "Are you awake? Have some chicken soup, and take medicine later."

The man was leaning on the top of the kang with his eyes closed, when he heard the voice he raised his head and saw that it was the little girl who saved him, took the chicken soup and said, "Thank you, girl for saving me"

"We didn't dare to let the doctor come home to treat you, so we fixed your legs casually. If you are worried, ask my cousin to take you into the city some other day."

Seeing that he had finished drinking the soup, Su Rui brought the bowl over, and called to Su Chenrui who was taking the delivery: "Chen Rui, bring the medicine here."

"Here we come." Su Chenrui went to lie on his side and handed the medicine to Su Rui.

"There are only a few children in my family. You can rest assured to recuperate here. First, we will not ask you for your kindness, and second, we will not ask who you are from. If you can leave, just leave. Anyone who asks, We don't know anything."

Su Rui handed him the medicine and stared into his eyes.

The man smiled slightly: "Don't worry, girl, I'm not a bad person, it's just that there is a traitor in my family, that's why I was injured and fled to the mountains."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Girls don't need to use honorific titles all the time. My surname is Song, and I am the second child at home. I am 26 this year. You can call me Second Uncle."

Su Rui murmured softly: "The bad guys don't know how to engrave words on their faces."

Song Lao Er has practiced martial arts for [-] years, and his hearing is amazing, how could he not hear Su Rui's muttering?Just smiled lightly, thinking, "What an interesting girl, much more interesting than his eldest nephew"

"Then Second Uncle Song can rest, and dinner will be brought to you."

Song Er nodded, "Okay..."

The people rounded up on the mountain came back two days later and brought back two wild boars, a wild deer, some rabbits, pheasants and so on.

The people rounded up got a share, and many poor people sold or traded for food. Su Rui exchanged two catties of wild venison for his younger siblings to try.
