The Miao girl in his heart

Chapter 2 Antecedents
"It stemmed from an act of conscience on her part."

Di Ying's ancestors have been witch doctors for generations, passed down from generation to generation.By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was turbulent.The clan leader at that time decided to move south to the Qianzhou area, and from then on he took root on Wanglong Mountain and isolated himself from the rest of the world.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Di Ying's grandfather Di Qilong succeeded to the position of patriarch.There are more than 100 people in charge of the village.And he is perhaps one of the best inheritors of the witch doctor lineage in the clan.But when it came to his father, he couldn't fully inherit the mantle.

On this day, Di Ying went to Wanglong Mountain to pick herbs as usual.We started out in the morning, and now it’s noon, and the autumn night is heavy with dew.She found a dry patch of ground and sat down.I took out the potato pancakes made by my mother and ate them for lunch.

The herbs are almost done, and Di Ying is ready to return to the village.The path in the mountains was slippery, so I used the small halberd made by my father to hold on to the grass and walked step by step.

After walking only a few steps, a rustling sound came from the grass below.I'm afraid there's a snake!Di Ying held the small halberd in her hand, pressed the switch, and pointed the extremely sharp halberd head forward.

She slowly approached and vaguely saw two men through the grass.One seemed to be seriously injured and unconscious, while the other was exhausted and gasping for air.

Clan rules prohibit contact with strangers, especially Han Chinese.Di Ying put away her halberd and walked around lightly.Suddenly, a cold iron object touched her forehead.

The man threatened her in a fierce tone

"Don't move! Who are you?"

Di Ying can understand Chinese and has been exposed to it from her second grandfather since she was a child.Of course she knew what was touching her head. Through the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a military uniform, tattered and covered in blood.

She didn't dare to act rashly

"I'm just a villager who goes up the mountain to collect medicine."

The man saw that she was a teenage girl with no strength to restrain a chicken.He put down his weapon and collapsed to the ground.

"You, you live near here?"

Di Ying did not dare to lead this man from the village, so he said that he was from the village at the foot of the mountain.

"My home is in Xijiang Village at the foot of the mountain, which is a bit far away from here."

The man pointed a weapon at her

"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will let you die here."

After all, Diying is a 16-year-old girl, how can she withstand such a scare.Tears fell down hard
"I will never talk nonsense, I swear to God."

"woooooo"

The man felt relieved when he saw her like this.Signal her to leave quickly
Di Ying ran away, but the dying man next to her kept popping up in her mind.Perhaps it was my conscience that was causing trouble, and I remembered my grandfather’s usual teachings, that practitioners should not see death without saving lives.

He took out a handful of herbs from his backpack and returned there in fear.

"To stop bleeding. Crushed it and apply it on the wound."

The man looked at her hesitantly, then at his companion who was about to die.

"Do you know medical skills?"

Diying didn't dare to look at him at all
"Those who live in the mountains know a little bit. If that person doesn't stop bleeding, he will soon bleed to death."

The man frowned and looked at the surrounding terrain. It was deep in the mountains and old forests, with few human traces.I can’t care about so much anymore, saving my life is the most important thing.He knelt down on one knee and apologized for his behavior just now.

"I'm sorry, sister, for treating you like that just now, you don't remember the villain's fault. Save my big brother."

Di Ying did not expect this person's attitude to change completely. After all, she was not deeply involved in the world and her mind was still very simple.He didn't take what happened just now to heart at all.

When he got closer, he realized that the man was seriously injured.The wound was less than an inch away from the heart and damaged the meridians, so the bleeding continued.

"Do you have any wine?"

The man touched his body and found nothing except a water bag.He searched his elder brother's body again, and sure enough, he found a bottle of Erguotou in the inner bag of his coat.

"This, is this okay?"

Diying took it and told the man that he had to take out the warhead.

"Okay, but to take out the warhead, you have to hold him down for me."

Diying took out a self-defense knife, which was extremely sharp, and sprayed it with alcohol.The knife struck quickly and accurately, and the dying man immediately let out a wail of pain, his whole body shaking, for only a few dozen seconds.After taking it out, the man immediately fainted again.

Apply hemostatic herbs to the wound, and the bleeding will stop soon.

"Although the bleeding has stopped, he lost too much blood before, so it is best to go to a medical center for treatment."

The man seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw at this moment, but he was afraid that the identity of the deserter would be exposed.So I begged Di Ying to try his best to treat her
"Sister, it's inconvenient for us to go down the mountain. Please try your best to save my brother."

Diying didn't want to cause trouble, but she couldn't bear it.After thinking about it for a while, you can just go home and get some medicinal materials for him.

"Then I'll go home and get some painkillers and white pills. Are you waiting for me?"

The man broke off a jade ring from his elder brother's hand as a thank you gift.

"Sister, you saved my eldest brother's life. This jade ring can be used for a lot of money. Just accept it and treat it as a reward for your hard work."

Saving people can only be done with a little effort. Although Diying has never seen the world and has enough food and clothing at home, it is of no use to take this thing.

"You can keep this. It's useless for me to take this. Don't worry, I will definitely bring the medicine back."

Men have no choice but to give up
"Thank you, sister."

When Diying returned home, it was getting late.When my mother-in-law saw her coming back, she hurriedly heated up the food and asked with concern
"Aying, what are you doing in the mountains? Why have you been gone for so long? If you don't come back, I will call you daddy and go look for you. You are a little girl who always makes people worry."

Di Ying was rummaging for medicines in her father's room and didn't hear her nagging at all.

"Where have you gone? I remember that my dad just made a big jar of white medicine that day."

Aniang had heated up the food, and when she came in she saw Di Ying rummaging around in the room.

"You little girl, what are you doing? You're doing it everywhere."

"Auntie, where did my dad's Baiyao go?" "Why are you looking for Baiyao? Are you injured?"

"Ah, I fell down on the mountain."

Grandma came over and checked her whole body, but she didn't see any wounds.

"Where did you fall? Why didn't you see any wounds?"

"Oh, maybe I sprained my foot."

Di Ying limped and showed her to her mother-in-law.

Aniang asked her to lie down and came over to show her legs.Afraid of revealing her secret, Di Ying limped to the main room and pretended to eat.

"It's no big deal. Just bring me the medicine and I'll put some on it. Oh, I'm very hungry. I'll eat first."

Grandma had no choice but to get her medicine first
Diying found another big bowl and filled it with some food.Hidden behind the door

Aniang came back with the medicine, and Diying also finished her meal.

"Quick, I'll give you medicine"

Diying escaped, took the medicine into the room and locked the door.Grandma was outside and knocked on the door angrily.
"You girl! What are you doing? Why are you closing the door?"

"Ouch, I need to change clothes."

In fact, he secretly hid the medicine

Diying packed up her things and just walked to the door when she was dragged back by her mother-in-law.

"Where are you going? It's already dark, and you're still running outside."

"I'm going to Erye's place"

"It's late at night, why don't you go to the second master's house? You stay at the front of the house!"

While the two mothers were fighting, there was a commotion outside the village.Naturally, my mother-in-law also heard it.

"You stay at the front of the house and you are not allowed to go anywhere. I'll go outside to see what's going on."

Diying nodded and waited for her mother to leave with her front foot, then followed her with her back foot.

Many people gathered outside the village, all looking towards the gate.At this time, the grandfather came from the crowd, and everyone gave way automatically.Di Ying's father followed behind the great grandfather.

I don’t know where my mother-in-law has gone either.

I heard the uncle was very angry and told someone to get out, and everyone was talking about it.Diying quietly squeezed to the front, and then he saw clearly that the two people he had rescued had followed him into the village.

The uncle asked them to leave quickly and did not agree with them entering the village at all.But the two people didn't say anything and left. They even knelt on the ground and begged the uncle.

The grandfather had always had a rigid temper, so he immediately asked two strong men to drive them away.Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the man she was treating woke up.He stood up tremblingly and bowed to the great grandfather.

"Old man, we'll stay here for one night. We'll leave tomorrow."

The uncle still had a tough attitude, and the two strong men were going to drive them out with sticks.The seriously injured man weakly raised his weapon and aimed it at the grandfather's forehead. At this time, the distance between the two was less than two meters.

When that person sees that the soft one is no longer good, he will be hard.

"I'll give it a try. Old man, don't ban alcohol or eat as a fine. I, Xie Jiping, keep my word. After today, I will leave tomorrow."

Everyone was silent, and the grandfather looked at Xie Jiping with wide eyes.Walking straight towards Xie Jiping with his hands behind his back, my father wanted to stop the grandfather.He also pushed him away, and no one dared to speak, let alone move.

The uncle walked up to Xie Jiping, the distance between them was less than half a meter.Just confronting each other
Grandpa said calmly

"You only have five bullets. I'll take one from you and have four more. There are dozens of strong men in my clan. Can you finish the fight?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to miss each other, Di Ying was so anxious that she rushed out to protect her grandfather. This incident was caused by her and she must not hurt innocent people.Her weak body could only reach the opponent's shoulders.Even though her whole body was trembling, she still stood in the middle
Her father called her back hoarsely from behind, but she remained motionless.

Xie Jiping's wound now split open and he was in constant pain.I don't know if the gun went off or if his body was shaking and he hit the trigger.The bullet flew towards the center of Di Ying's eyebrows.

"Oh!"

A crisp gunshot resounded throughout the Miao village
The medicine hidden in Di Yingyi's sleeves also scattered on the ground, and finally rolled down in front of Xie Jiping's boots.

Diying just fell into the arms of her grandfather, with a roar in her head and gradually lost consciousness.
Seeing that he had no way out, Xie Jiping was in a state of excitement and waved his pistol at everyone like crazy.His subordinate Zheng Peng watched in disbelief as the commander he usually admired so much did such a thing of repaying kindness with hatred. At this moment, he really regretted saving him.

Zheng Peng held his own gun with exactly two bullets left in it.Aiming at Xie Jiping's head, Xie Jiping scolded Zheng Peng in disbelief.

"Zheng Peng! Are you crazy? Beat them to death, or they will kill us!"

Zheng Peng looked at the crazy Xie Jiping with a disappointed face.
"Sir Xie, this is the last time I call you. That little girl saved your life. How many more people do you want to kill? Can you finish them?"

Xie Jiping showed no sign of remorse and still ordered Zheng Peng in a commanding tone.

"What, you want to disobey military orders?"

Zheng Peng sneered
"Military order? Look, there is a soldier behind you! If I wasn't thinking about your kindness to me, I wouldn't follow a bullshit commander who only knows how to be arrogant and licentious, and doesn't know how to lead troops to fight and cause the whole army to be annihilated. These deep mountains and old forests are waiting for death!"

Xie Jiping was speechless and looked up to the sky and roared.

"Hahahaha, ridiculous, so ridiculous"

Dad and several strong men immediately tied up Xie Jiping and Zheng Peng and confiscated their weapons.The two of them did not resist, knowing that there was nothing they could do to save themselves.Anyway, even if the people in the Miao village don't kill him, he will eventually die from wound infection.

Dad raised his sword and was about to kill Xie Jiping and the others on the spot, but he stopped him.

"The most important thing is to save your baby, lock them up first."

Grandma held her daughter's hand, but no matter how much she shouted, there was no response.One second the mother and daughter were bickering, and the next moment they were separated from each other. At this moment, the mother-in-law was reduced to tears.

Grandpa picked up Di Ying and walked towards the altar.
