Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 33 Accident
When Mai Xiang heard the movement outside, she rushed out first, because she always felt restless because she missed Ye Dafu who had gone up the mountain.

"Big girl, hurry up, call your lord to come out, something happened to your father, he fell down the cliff." Someone shouted.

At this time, most of the people in the room had already come out. Mai Xiang saw two people carrying Ye Dafu, and rushed over, only to see that Ye Dafu's face and legs were covered with blood, and he had passed out from the pain. .

"Quick, quick, bring it in first." Ye Tiezhu hurriedly greeted everyone to enter the house, and then ordered Mai Xiang to invite Mrs. Cao.

Mrs. Zhao ran over to take a look, and thought that Ye Dafu was out of breath. She was in agony and fainted.

Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Sun and Er Fu hurriedly carried Mrs. Zhao onto the kang, when Mai Xiang had already found Cao Xueqin.

"Come on, let's see my son first." Mrs. Liu said hastily.

When Cao Xueqin was examining Ye Dafu, she heard Mrs. Sun shouting again.

It turned out that Zhao's amniotic fluid broke and she was still in a coma. Cao Xueqin had no choice but to come over and give Zhao's pulse, and asked to send someone to ask Mrs. Wen quickly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly sent Wu Fu to invite Mrs. Wen.

The upper room of Ye's house was messy and full of people.

Several Orion friends of Ye Dafu saw Ye Dafu and his wife like this, and they couldn't help feeling sorry for them. They rushed to come up with ideas, saying that Ye Dafu's leg was broken, how could there be a good bone setter, etc.

"Uncles, how did my father fall?" Mai Xiang remembered and asked.

"It was chasing a white rabbit, pure white, and accidentally stepped on the air and fell off the cliff. We found him after climbing down the cliff."

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun glanced at Jiufeng, and Jiufeng was also dumbfounded after hearing this.

"Then why are his legs like this?" Ye Tiezhu felt that Ye Dafu's legs seemed to have been crushed by something.

"It's like this. When he fell, he probably touched a big rock. The big rock fell right after him and hit his leg. This leg is probably going to be useless."

"Mother, I was the one who killed elder brother, and I asked him for the white rabbit fur." ​​Jiufeng murmured.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's none of your business, go back to your room." Liu hugged Jiufeng and stroked her for a while, then pushed her into her room.

Cao Xueqin was treating the Zhao family, and Mai Xiang ordered a bottle of high-grade liquor from the Cao family, dipped a silk sponge into the liquor, and wiped the blood on Ye Dafu's face first. Fortunately, there was no swelling on his head, just His face was scratched by a tree branch, probably because of this tree branch that reduced the force of his fall, and Ye Dafu lost his life.

It may be because of this branch that it touched the stone and let the stone press down on his thigh. This may be what people say that misfortune is where blessings rest, and blessings are where misfortune rests.

Mai Xiang cut open Ye Dafu's trousers, and the stiff cotton trousers were already stained with blood. Just as Mai Xiang was about to make a move, Cao Xueqin came over and took over the work in Mai Xiang's hands. He was worried that Mai Xiang would be scared when she saw it.

Mrs. Zhao had already woken up at this time, and Mrs. Wen also came, and Mrs. Liu asked everyone to carry her back to her room.

After cleaning up the blood for Ye Dafu, Cao Xueqin looked at Mrs. Liu and Ye Tiezhu and said, "Brother Dafu's leg needs a special bone doctor. I can't do anything about it. I'll prescribe a prescription for him now. Go grab some medicine and fry it for him." He ate it, if only some ginseng could keep him alive."

"What, ginseng?" Liu asked in surprise.

Before Cao Xueqin had time to explain, Er Fu dragged an old man in his 50s into the door.

"Here we come, here comes the bonesetter."

Seeing that they couldn't help if they stayed, the hunters left one after another.

Cao Xueqin had no choice but to go to the side to prescribe the medicine. At this time, Mrs. Wen entered the upper room and said: "Sister, the adults and children in your family are probably dying. The amniotic fluid broke first, the child can't come out, and the mother has no symptoms." strength."

"Old sister-in-law, please think of a way. We have been in love for so many years. I beg you, think of a way to keep one." When Liu heard this, she was so anxious that she almost fainted. This time she lost two lives. , Ye Dafu wants to wake up, will he go crazy again?
"Big sister, there is a solution. Is there any ginseng at home? Give her a piece of ginseng and make some ginseng soup."

The other party thought that it was nothing to say, how could such a family look like someone who could afford ginseng?
"Why is it the one who wants ginseng again?" Mrs. Liu had a headache.

"My child, saving lives is the most important thing, human lives are at stake." Ye Tiezhu sighed, this is three lives!
"Well, we need to find someone who understands to buy it." Although the mother-in-law was surprised that the Ye family had the money to buy ginseng, she couldn't inquire about such things.

"Let me go, I know the goods." Cao Xueqin came out with the prescription.

Mrs. Liu gave Wufu two silver ingots to carry, and gave Wufu some broken silver. Wufu hurried out with Cao Xueqin.

Mai Xiang looked at Zhao Shi for a while, and then went to see Ye Dafu in the upper room. Zhao Shi was unconscious and awake for a while, but Ye Dafu never woke up.

When Wu Lang bought ginseng, Cao Xueqin put a piece in each mouth of Mrs. Zhao and Ye Dafu, then went into the kitchen, boiled two small bowls of ginseng soup, and fed them to them respectively.

Mrs. Zhao became much more energetic after drinking the ginseng soup. After struggling for a long time, she finally gave birth to the child. She passed out again without even looking at the son she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Wen Po said that she lost a lot of blood in this pregnancy, and it is hard to say whether she can survive it, so she will try it with ginseng first.

"You still want ginseng?" Qian exclaimed.

Mai Xiang glared at her, Mai Xiang already knew that Wan's family had given 30 taels of money to retire, why couldn't this money be spent on her parents?What's more, why was Ye Dafu injured?One is to earn money for Wufu to get married and the other is for Jiufeng's white rabbit fur.Neither of these two things was for Ye Dafu himself!

"Father and mother are in charge of family affairs, what are you talking about?" Er Fu scolded his daughter-in-law.

After Wen Po left, Mai Xiang asked Cao Xueqin to prescribe a prescription for Mrs. Zhao, and said, "Sir, just prescribe a prescription, and my mother will find a solution."

Cao Xueqin looked at Mai Xiang, it was a mess just now, and he seemed to have heard a few sporadic words, the Ye family had some extra money today, as for how much, he didn't worry about it, he just wanted to save people.

Cao Xueqin prepared the prescription, handed it to Mrs. Liu, and said, "Why don't I go with Brother Wufu to catch the medicine and boil it for the patient to drink. It's best to buy a few more ginseng. Brothers have to use it too."

"Then, how much money do you need?" Mrs. Liu asked.She had already heard from Wu Fu that all the ten taels of silver she brought were spent.

"Take 20 taels, the medicine for these three days is the most important." Cao Xueqin thought about it and said a conservative number.

"That's good, the 30 taels of silver were sent out before it was warmed up." Sun muttered.

Mrs. Liu couldn't do anything after hearing this, so she took the silver tremblingly, looked at the four silver ingots in the box and wept, and wanted to say that she couldn't save it, with so many eyes staring at her, the Dafu family will not hate themselves in the future , Knowing that the family has money but not taking it out.

Knowing Liu's thoughts, Wu Fu took the box and said, "Mother, the big brother and sister-in-law's family is important. What's the matter with the daughter-in-law marrying a year later."

"That's right, saving people is the most important thing." Ye Tiezhu said.

The Ye family tossed and tossed the adults almost all night, and Mai Xiang didn't dare to sleep. She and Mrs. Liu guarded Mrs. Zhao, and the people in the upper room guarded Ye Dafu.

Early the next morning, Cao Xueqin came over to check on Zhao Shi and Ye Dafu's injuries, and fed them some ginseng soup, and Zhao Shi woke up first.

"Mother, great, you woke up, you gave birth to a little brother." Mai Xiang held the baby to her.

Mrs. Zhao was stunned for a while, then remembered Ye Dafu's injury, and hurriedly asked, "Where's your father?"

"Father is still lying on the kang in the upper room, the doctor said not to move yet."

"Your father is still alive?" Mrs. Zhao was confused, forgetting that Ye Dafu was still alive after telling her countless times when she gave birth last night.

"of course."

"Am I going to die? Why don't I have any strength? Big girl, mother is going to die, you must promise mother to bring up your younger brothers and sisters."

At this time, Mrs. Liu came over with a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine, and after hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, she hurriedly said, "Bah, bah, what nonsense, your life is precious, drink up the medicine."

Mai Xiang took the bowl, Zhao Shi really didn't have the strength to get up, and still fed her the medicine spoon by spoon.

"Mommy, what should the child eat?" Mai Xiang recalled that the little brother had only been given water since he was born.

"What can I have? Take it to the next door and ask the wife and wife to feed me a couple of milks. There is not a grain of polished rice at home." Liu sighed, how should I live in the future?
After hearing this, Mai Xiang came out with the child in her arms, and ran into the five hunters on the way out. They came to see if Ye Dafu was awake.In addition, several of them discussed and sold yesterday's prey, and got a total of more than five taels of silver, all of which were used to treat Ye Dafu's illness, which can be regarded as the meaning of their five brothers.

After hearing this, Mai Xiang hugged the children and bowed to them, saying, "Mai Xiang, thank you all uncles."

This kindness will definitely be repaid in the future.

Mrs. Liu took the money bag, but she didn't know what to say, no one's life is rich, and a tael of silver is not small money.

"Brother Dafu hasn't woken up yet?" Damei's father Li Duanyang asked.

"No, I got up early and poured another bowl of ginseng soup, but it still didn't help at all. I'm making medicine for him." Mrs. Liu picked up her apron and wiped away her tears.

Mrs. Liu came to see Ye Dafu several times that night, but Ye Dafu never came to his senses. Mrs. Liu's tears this night were dry and then wet, wet and then dry.

Leaving aside how much it would cost to treat Ye Dafu, the key point is that Ye Dafu will be a disabled person after he recovers, or a cripple at best.And all these years, he has been the pillar of the family, if the pillar has collapsed, how difficult will life be in the future?

As soon as Mrs. Liu thought of these things, she felt as if the sky had collapsed, it was dark, and there was no light to be seen.

"Auntie, don't worry, Brother Dafu is auspicious and will be safe and sound."

Several people accompanied Liu Shi and Ye Tiezhu for a conversation, and then went into the room to look at Ye Dafu before leaving.

After seeing the guests leave, Mai Xiang took the child to the next door and asked Liu Huilan to take care of the child for a long time. She was going out to buy some fine rice to make rice soup for the child, and Zhao Shi and Ye Dafu also had to eat some nutritious eggs and bones s things.Because so far, Mrs. Liu has not thought of buying something nutritious for the two of them.

At this time, she couldn't leave the family alone.
