Chapter 17 Destiny Really Tricks People

Granny Luo dragged her into the house, and saw a man lying on the kang, with white cloth wrapped around his head and body in several places, and the white cloth was full of blood, which was seeping from the wound.

"This is?"

"He's still in a coma, let's go out and talk"

Mrs. Luo poured a bowl of water for her daughter and placed it in front of her.

"Come on, drink some water first, go out for a day, be thirsty"

Xi'er picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp, at this moment Mrs. Luo sighed.

"The thing is like this. Not long after you left this morning, mother heard villagers shouting outside. Originally, mother didn't want to go out, but when she heard someone mentioning Ji Kang's name, she quickly locked the courtyard door. Follow them to see,
In the end, I saw Ji Kang lying on his stomach at the door of Ji’s house. He was in a coma at the time. I think he came back last night and didn’t knock on the door. He just stayed at the door like this all night and lost a lot of blood before he passed out.”

"Then why did he come to our house?"

"Don't worry, listen to what mother said, the villagers called the village chief, and then knocked on the door of Ji's house. When they saw that Ji Kang had become like this, they hurriedly invited the doctor, but the doctor came and said that Ji Kang had lost blood. Too much, whether he can wake up or not is one thing, and his legs are still useless, even if he wakes up, he can't walk anymore, tell me how miserable this child is, alas~"

When Mrs. Luo said this, Xi'er had already guessed the latter.

"So, just like what happened to me, they bullied you again to be soft-hearted and talkative, and dumped Ji Kang to you? Right?"

"Mother can't help it. If it's someone else, it's impossible for Mother to kill him and take him home, but this child is kind to me."

"Then the Ji family dumped Ji Kang to you, there must be an explanation, right?"

Mrs. Luo took out a piece of paper from her bosom and looked at her daughter with a guilty face. She felt very sorry for Xi'er because her family owed so much money just after they managed a profitable business.

"Look at this, alas~"

Xi'er took the deed and looked at it, her face flushed red with anger, "Did their family sell Ji Kang to you?"

"Yes, they took the initiative to push Ji Kang to me, and they asked me for ten taels of silver. I had no money, so the village chief said he would lend me the money. Mom didn't want to lend him money. His family's money is I wanted interest, so I borrowed ten taels of silver from Lao Ma's house, and then signed the deed of sale, and asked someone to bring Ji Kang to our house."

"A cripple, or seriously ill, they actually sold you ten taels of silver, isn't that clearly a bully?"

"Otherwise, can mother watch him die? Mother can't bear it. The doctor sprinkled some medicine powder on his wound, but didn't prescribe any medicine. He took two taels of silver and left."

"You borrowed all this money from the Ma family?"

Mrs. Luo nodded lightly. She didn't dare to look up at her daughter. Xi'er felt aggrieved. She had just made a little money, and before she could catch her breath, she owed a lot of debt. There are not many good things in Li Village. Together to bully their mother and daughter, she was almost mad at her.

Xi'er put down the basket behind her back and comforted Mrs. Luo.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about the money. My daughter will earn the money and return it to the Ma family. I'll go and see brother Ji Kang. It's not enough to just sprinkle some powder on those wounds."

"You can even do this?"

"Know a little bit"

Xi'er came to the house, removed all the wrapped white cloths for him, and asked Mrs. Luo to boil a pot of boiling water for her.

She scalded a clean cloth with boiling water, waited for it to cool down, cleaned up the area around the wound, and then gently pinched the bone in the wound with her hands.

"The injury on the head is fine, the arm is fine, the two thighs and the lower leg are broken, and they are taken care of slowly. After a year or so, they will be able to walk, but they will no longer be able to do heavy work."

When Mrs. Luo heard this, she felt relieved, "As long as he can walk, he is still so young, so he can't just be so useless. You understand, so just connect him?"

"Mother, you go to Uncle Ma and ask him to go to the town, buy some medicine to reduce fever and swelling, and buy a jar of strong wine. If you have a high fever in the middle of the night, if the fever does not go away, you will be burnt stupid."

"But the money for the medicine should be paid by the Ma family?"

"No, there is a money bag at the bottom of the basket, which contains the money I earned today, a little over one or two points, just look at the medicine."

"How did you make so much money?"

"Mom, now is not the time to ask this, you go, it's not safe on the road if you go late"

"Hey, mother is going with the old horse, don't worry, I will definitely be able to buy it back"

After Mrs. Luo left, Xi'er gritted her teeth and pinched his wound quickly with both hands. Ji Kang, who was originally unconscious, screamed involuntarily.

Taking advantage of this time, she pinched the other wounds again, and she straightened all the four broken bones. She checked them carefully and made sure that there was nothing wrong, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to put the bones back in place, she exerted all her strength, and she collapsed completely.

She wandered to the kitchen to dig a spoonful of sugar, made herself a bowl of sugar water, and took a rest after drinking it.

I found four longer wooden sticks at home, flattened one side with a knife, and bound his wounds with cloth before returning to the house, and then fixed his legs with wooden sticks.

Looking at the unconscious Ji Kang, she sighed. Fate really can play tricks on people. A few days ago, she even sent firewood to her family, but now she has become a family, which is unexpected.

She went out and blocked the courtyard door, and then went to the kitchen. Seeing that there were still so many fat intestines and bones in the basin, she knew that Mrs. Luo hadn't eaten well all day.

Having nothing to do, she found a thicker branch and cut it with a knife.

When Mrs. Luo came back, she had already cut three of them. Two were long, thick and thin like a thumb, and the front was as sharp as a thorn.

Old lady Luo put the spirits on the floor of the main room, took out two bottles of medicine from her bosom and put them on the side of the kang, then looked at Ji Kang with complicated eyes.

"You got it all done for him?"

"Well, the bones are coming back, as long as you don't have a fever today, when you wake up tomorrow, change your medicine frequently, and take it easy."

"You have spent all the money you gave me. One of the two bottles is Jinchuang medicine, and the other is antipyretic and anti-inflammatory medicine. The doctor said that Jinchuang medicine is sprinkled on the wound, and the one that reduces fever needs to be boiled with water."

Xi'er carried the basket into the house and took out the buns, "Mom, you haven't eaten well all day, why don't you have a bun first?"

"Is this from the town?"

"Well, I bought you a pack of snacks"

"By the way, how did you get that silver?"

"I met a noble man and carried some things home for him. He was generous and rewarded me with a dime. When I bought buns and snacks, I exchanged them for copper coins."

"Oh, I see"

"There's still money for sugar in it."

"Girl, the wheat seeds are already wet, are you going out tomorrow?"

"Go out, but I'll be back soon. I'll fry the fat intestines for you tomorrow morning. If he wakes up, you can eat them together. Otherwise, it will go bad if you let it go."

"Well, that mother will cook a pot of cornbread tomorrow and eat it."

"Mother, don't worry about the money, more than a dozen taels of silver, not too much, I just made more than one tael today."

"Mom is causing you trouble"

"We are a family. He has also entered our house now, and he will be a family in the future. Don't worry, these things will not trouble your daughter."

"Oh, seeing him like this, I feel so sorry for him. I've been wholeheartedly for that family. After suffering such a serious injury, I still know how to crawl back. If I wake up and find out that I was sold by his adoptive mother, how heartbreaking it will be. "

"He should be glad that he was sold. There is nothing worth nostalgic about such a home. It is worth getting hurt after finally getting out of the sea of ​​suffering. My mother is so good. He will feel warm in this home."

"From now on, you will all be mother's children. It is these people who always bully us and make you suffer along with mother."

"As long as mother and elder brother are willing to leave here with me, we don't have to be angry with them."

"But your father's grave is still here"
