My village can't be like this

Chapter 688 Something happened
In the evening, after school, there was no longer the sound of playing and fighting on the road outside the door as before.

It’s like all the naughty kids who always come to play on weekdays are kept in the classroom by the teacher.

It was not until Zhang An's family finished dinner that the noisy noise of the naughty children could be heard outside.

"Look, Uncle An, we found the insect flower you wanted again."

After Ermao brought his people over, he immediately and happily showed Zhang An his gains and achievements of the day.

Only then did Zhang An realize that the naughty kids were not kept after school by the teacher today, but instead ran in groups to the purple bamboo forest to look for cicada flowers.

However, the harvest was not as much as yesterday. Most of the naughty kids only found one. Only a few older ones found a little more, but no more than two or three.

I guess it’s because I looked for it after school and didn’t have much time.

Moreover, each of them was carrying their own schoolbag on their backs, and it was obvious that they did not even go home after school, but went straight to the purple bamboo forest.

"You guys are itching for trouble. You didn't even come home after school. You want to go home and get a beating, right?"

Zhang An never expected that these little bastards would go home without even taking their schoolbags after school. If the adults at home couldn't find them, they would definitely be severely beaten.

"Don't worry, Uncle An. My father and mother have gone to the orchard. We won't have dinner until dark. No one will come to look for us."

A naughty kid like Ermao, who has been beaten by adults since childhood, has already developed his own way of dealing with the situation.

They know that unless they make a big mistake, they will not be punished too severely.

Moreover, recently, the kiwi fruits in the orchard are in bloom, and the adults in the family are all busy with pollination and flower thinning, so they have no time to pay attention to them.

"You keep getting these ghost-head knife handles, why don't you bring them here? Change them and go home quickly."

Zhang An was helpless about this group of clever little guys who had their own plans, so he had to go along with them.

When the naughty kids heard this, they knew they had passed the test, and they hurriedly took the golden cicada flowers they found to Zhang An to exchange for money.

After sending all the naughty kids away, Zhang An counted their achievements today.

Although there were not as many as yesterday, there were still a dozen or so, big and small.

"What is this thing of yours? It looks a little weird."

Su Ying came down from upstairs and saw Zhang An fiddling with the cicada flowers. She couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is Golden Cicada Flower, a medicinal herb with similar properties to Cordyceps, but with slightly different effects."

Cordyceps sinensis has been put on the stage since a few years ago, and has become very popular over the years.

"What? We have such a treasure here? Does it have magical effects?"

Su Ying didn't know about the golden cicada flower, but she had naturally heard of the Cordyceps sinensis, which is now well-known throughout the world.

"There is no magical effect. It is just a tonic and invigorating effect. Even Cordyceps sinensis is the same. It's just exaggerated."

Zhang An smiled and shook his head and said, it is undeniable that both Cordyceps sinensis and Golden Cicada Fungus have their own effects, but they are definitely not as fantastic as those people boast.

Even though golden cicada flower is not very famous nowadays, in a few years, it will also be pushed onto the stage of miracle medicine.

After all, in Shennong's Herbal Classic, it was recorded hundreds of years earlier than Cordyceps sinensis.

This alone will definitely be used by those who want to hype it.

"Okay, so what's the use of it?"

Su Ying naturally believed what her man said more, instead of blindly believing the overwhelming hype and publicity in the market like most people.

After all, her man was taught by Zhang Yixing, an old Chinese medicine doctor with superb skills.

"For example, it can be used for people with qi deficiency and physical weakness. In terms of replenishing qi, golden cicada flowers are still effective, especially if the right prescription is prescribed. Another thing is that some people who grind their teeth severely at night can also try this."

While Zhang An was talking to his wife in detail, he was cleaning the mud off the golden cicada flowers he had exchanged today.

Since he didn't plan to use it for cooking, there was no need to wash it thoroughly. When the sun came out tomorrow, he would take it out to dry in the sun, and then preserve it for use as a medicinal ingredient.

In the evening, Zhang An arranged Huiqiu and his wife to be on duty in the chicken coop.

Although a circle of wire traps has been set up under the eaves, night vigil still needs to be arranged.

Xiaohu and the others naturally didn't need anyone to call them. After Zhang An called them over last night, they stayed here as if they had moved their home to the chicken coop.

But no one can say for sure whether the yellow fox will crawl in from somewhere else, so letting the gray ball and the little tiger continue to guard it is just an extra layer of insurance.

The next day, Zhang An got up early in the morning to check the traps to see if there were any gains from the traps he had set last night.

But after checking it out, he was somewhat disappointed with the results.

Because the circle of traps under the eaves were not triggered at all, and there was not even a weasel hair inside.

However, there were no more accidents with the chickens and ducks in the chicken coop. It was probably because the yellow fox didn't come last night.

Overall, it’s not good, but it’s not bad either.

"There are many families ploughing the fields today. We don't have much to do anyway, so why not just finish ploughing early?"

While having breakfast, Zhang Jianguo discussed this with Zhang An.

This morning, he had already seen quite a few people walking past their doorsteps with their cows and plows.

Farmers never have a fixed arrangement for farming. Most of the time they work with a large group. After all, if they see more people doing the same work, they will feel nervous.

"It's time to thresh the fields. The seedlings in our fields are almost two feet tall. Let's thresh the fields and plant them."

Wang Fang also echoed the words. The rice field of her home was right at the doorstep, and she could see the growth of the rice seedlings in the field every day these days.

The best time to transplant the lambs is when they grow to two to three feet tall.

If it grows any further, it will become an old seedling. Although it is not impossible to plant it, the yield will be lower.

"Then let's do it in the next two days. It's just in time for the fields to be fertilized. Lu Cheng will also be here to harvest the cherries. I'm sure I won't have time by then."

Zhang An was not a solitary guy. Since most of the people in the village were working in the fields, his family would not drag it on.

Moreover, if we have to pick cherries in a few days, we will be very busy for a few days, and we will definitely not be able to take care of this by then.

"Okay, I'll go drain the water in a moment, you lead the horse and go plow the field first."

As Zhang Jianguo spoke, he moved the chopsticks in his hand faster.

In fact, it was relatively easy for Zhang An's family to release water into their fields, because they were the only family with paddy fields upstream and no one would compete with them for water. They only needed to divert some water from the river.

If it was in the Datianba downstream, there would be many people working in the fields today, so there would naturally be many people scrambling for water. After breakfast, Zhang Jianguo took his hoe and went to the upstream canal to block the water.

Zhang An carried two plows, one on each side, and drove Dahei and his wife to the fields.

When they arrived at the field, Zhang An put the big plow on Dahei.

As for walking on the snow, it can still nibble on the grass in the field for a while, and then go to work when Zhang Jianguo comes back.

Because garlic was planted in these acres of fields last year, the soil was not as hard as when rapeseed was planted.

Dahei was strolling in the field dragging the plow and turning over the soil easily.

By the time the river flooded the fields, Zhang An had already plowed the largest field.

If a water plow is added later, the speed will be even faster.

Every year when the fields are ploughed, it is the most exciting time for Dahei.

Because he can vent the energy in his body that has nowhere to go without restraint.

"Zhang An, I'm sorry to bother you for helping me."

In the afternoon, Zhang An and his father were still working in the fields when Yang Laowu from the village came running over to find him in a hurry.

"What's wrong, Fifth Brother? What happened? Please tell me quickly."

As soon as Zhang An saw Yang Laowu running out of breath and looking extremely anxious, he knew something must have happened.

And it’s not a small matter. Otherwise, according to the temperament of the villagers, they would definitely not bother others at this time.

"Hoo~Hoo~~, Lao Liu was prying in the field and got pried open by a cow. It looks serious. I'd like you to help take him to the hospital."

Yang Laowu took two deep breaths, and after calming down a little, he spoke to Zhang An.

In this situation, the patient must be sent to the hospital, but Changqing Village is too far from the county hospital. Even if an emergency number is called, it will take a long time for the ambulance to arrive.

Zhang An was the only one in the whole village who had a car, so he ran straight to find Zhang An as soon as possible.

"Where is Sixth Brother now? I'll go get the car out."

When Zhang An heard this, he immediately put down the plow in his hand and ran out of the field.

Even though he was splashed with water from the field, he didn't care at all, because at this moment, it was a life-saving moment and he couldn't care less about so many things.

"Third and fourth brothers have already carried him over from the field and will soon reach the bridge."

Yang Laowu didn't carry anyone on his back, he came here running, so he arrived a little earlier.

"Then Fifth Brother, go home quickly and bring Sixth Brother's ID card with you. We will need it later."

Zhang An said to Yang Laowu while rushing home.

After hearing this, Yang Laowu immediately ran home.

"Xiao An, why are you back? You ran away in such a hurry. What happened?"

Wang Fang, who was at home, was shocked when she saw Zhang An running in a hurry.

"The sixth brother of the Yang family was working in the fields when he was pried open by a cow, and asked me to help take him to the hospital."

Zhang An returned home and looked for the car keys while explaining to his mother.

"Then change your clothes quickly. How are you going to get out of here, all muddy and wet?"

When Wang Fang heard that it was not her family that was in trouble, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Zhang An was still covered in mud and water, he immediately found him a set of clean clothes.

Because she had just helped wash the clothes and hung them in the yard in the morning, she didn't have to go upstairs and brought them over quickly.

Zhang An changed his clothes in no time and drove out of the yard without even having time to wash his face.

When he arrived at the bridgehead, the brothers Yang Laosan and Yang Laosi, panting, carried Yang Laoliu to the bridgehead.

"Xiao An, I'm sorry to bother you. Your sixth brother is in a very bad state right now."

As soon as she saw Zhang An, Yang's aunt immediately bent down and bowed.

"Aunt, what are you doing? Let me see Sixth Brother. Something is wrong with him. Third and fourth brothers, lay Sixth Brother flat so I can see where he was pried open."

Zhang An had no time to care about Yang's aunt-in-law and ran straight towards Yang Laoliu, who looked like a clay figure.

Because the back of Yang Laosi, who had just carried Yang Laoliu over, was covered in blood, and it seemed that his aorta was pried open.

Upon hearing this, Yang Laosan and Yang Laosi's faces turned pale, but they did not slow down at all and immediately laid Yang Laoliu flat on the ground.

There were quite a few people working in the fields nearby, and when they saw this, most of them ran over.

Zhang An approached the unconscious Yang Laoliu and quickly found the place where he was pried by the bull's horns.

So I didn't care about anything and just tore his pants apart. I found that the part that was pried open was the base of his thigh, and there was a big hole. Not only was blood flowing out, but the flesh inside the wound was also turning outward.

But Yang Laoliu was also very lucky. If the horns of the bull had been raised a little higher when it pried him, it would be hard to tell whether he could have been saved.

And if we pry the person out of that place, even if he is saved, he will probably be a cripple.

"Third brother, fourth brother, sixth brother's wound is too big, the bleeding can't be stopped at all. If the bleeding is not stopped, he will definitely not make it to the hospital, so now we can only help him stop the bleeding first."

Zhang An did not go to find Yang's aunt, because she fainted when she saw Yang Laoliu's wound, so he could only find Yang Laosan and Yang Laosi who were still in charge.

After all, he had lost a lot of blood on the way here from the field. If he was sent directly to the hospital, Yang Laoliu would probably die from excessive blood loss before he even got halfway.

"Then stop the bleeding first. Zhang An, go ahead and do it. No matter what happens, our family will only be grateful to you."

When Yang Laosan said this, he was already trying hard to hold back vomiting, because he had never seen such a big wound on his brother's body, he was not used to it at all and almost vomited.

"Then I'll go back and get something. You guys treat his wound first and try to stop the bleeding."

If you want to stop the bleeding from such a large wound, ordinary methods are no longer effective, and the only option is to use acupuncture to calm the artery in the thigh.

Zhang An quickly ran back home to get the needle box and some spare gauze. He gave seven injections before he stopped the heavy bleeding.

Zhang An finally breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the bleeding could not be stopped, because the wound was too big and it had punctured the aorta.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen, which is great news.
