Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

Not long after, Zhiming and Wencheng came with Guoan and Guoping of the Wang family, and brought the carriage board of the family's oxcart, which was just long enough. Four people carried the man onto the wooden plank and then walked towards the venue.

Jinghan and the others stopped picking wild vegetables and followed her back.

Everyone walked very quickly and carried people directly to the house where Zhixin and the others lived. Zhixin and the others also received the letter here. They had already packed up the kang and put it on the kang as soon as they arrived. Zhiming and Wencheng quickly checked the man's injuries.

"Jinghan, go get my medicine box. This person needs to be treated quickly, otherwise he will be choked. Brother, do we still have sticks at home? Make some ginseng soup quickly, this person is almost breathless. Zhiming said while checking. "Wencheng, go get some boiling water and some clean cloth to clean his wounds."

Wen Cheng listened and quickly did as Zhiming said. Zhiming didn't care about that, just cut off the man's clothes and took them off, then cleaned his wounds with water. Jinghan found Zhiming's medicine box, and Zhiming took out silver needles from it and inserted many needles into the man's body. In this era, there were no anesthetics, so this method could only be used to seal the acupuncture points. Although this man was already unconscious, it was best to alleviate some of the pain, otherwise he would be in danger.

Jinghan was a girl and couldn't stay in the house after all, so she took the ginseng Zhixin found and went out to make ginseng soup. It was almost time to cook at noon, and Mr. Xue had already lit the fire, so hot water and other supplies were convenient. Jinghan took out a small casserole and washed it, put the ginseng in and added water, turned out the fire in the pit, put two stones on it, and put the casserole on to cook. Jinghan kept adding firewood to it, and soon the water in the casserole boiled.

Inside the room, Zhiming cleaned all the man's wounds twice, then applied medicine on them and wrapped them with clean cloth. "I don't know what the origin of this person is, but he was chopped up like this. Judging from the fact that the wound has been soaked in water, he must have swam from the other side of the river. Alas, in these years, how can anyone still be injured like this? Huh?" Zhiming said as he pulled out the needle.

"Third uncle, is this all right for him?" Wen Cheng asked from the side.

"Well, that's it for the time being. I'll give him some ginseng soup later, and then I'll be on my own. As long as he can wake up, there'll be no problem. Just raise him slowly. If he can't wake up, then That's terrible." This man was seriously injured, and Zhiming was not sure that there was nothing wrong with him. "Wencheng, while you are watching him here, be sure to pay attention to whether he has a fever. If he does, it will be difficult to deal with. I will prepare some medicinal materials. He needs to drink medicine when he is like this." After Zhiming finished speaking, he went out.

After Jinghan finished boiling the ginseng soup, she poured a bowl and brought it into the house. "Second brother, the ginseng soup is ready."

Wen Cheng helped the man up, and then Jinghan held the bowl and fed the man ginseng soup bit by bit with a small spoon. Fortunately, the man could still swallow, and slowly, a bowl of ginseng soup was fed into him. Wen Cheng put the person down again, "Okay, Jinghan, you are tired enough. Go back and rest, I'm watching here."

Jinghan knew that she couldn't be of much help here, so she nodded and went out, "Okay, I'll go eat first, and I'll come over for you later." After that, she went out to eat with everyone.

The weather had warmed up by this time, so we ate outside in the courtyard at noon. Everyone, including the Wang family and the Fang family, ate here. Jinghan glanced at these people and said. "No one of us should go out and talk about the man we brought back at noon today. Do you understand? It's our duty to save people, but we must not get into trouble."

Everyone nodded, and Fang Yonggui said quickly, "Second Miss, just don't worry, we all understand this."

After Jinghan finished eating, she went into the house to replace Wen Cheng, "Second brother, you go and eat, I'll come and see you for a while." Jinghan sat on the edge of the kang and looked at the man lying on the kang.

This man's face was pale due to excessive blood loss, but his appearance was outstanding. Compared with Wen Han and Yue Pengcheng, he seems to be slightly better, and judging from his clothes, this person must not come from an ordinary family. Jinghan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, there were so many disputes between right and wrong in this wealthy family, and it was so dark.

Jinghan asked Guoping to go to town to deliver some wild vegetables to the Xu family, and then buy some meat. It looks like we can't make dumplings today, so we have to make them again tomorrow. At the same time, Zhiming also wrote a list and asked Guoping to grab some medicine. After all, the medicinal materials on the mountain were not complete. Jinghan suddenly remembered something and asked Guoping to buy some more saltpeter.

When it was almost dark, the rescued man started to have a fever. Thinking about it, with so many injuries on the body and soaked in water, there must be bacterial infection. In this era, there are no antibiotics, so people can only hold on if they have a fever. Zhiming boiled some medicine and fed it to Wen Cheng and others. Wencheng could only wet the cloth with cold water and then apply it on the man's head.

This had no effect at all, so Zhiming became a little anxious, "What should I do? If the burning continues like this, the person will be burned out." Zhiming touched the man's hot forehead.

"Uncle Third, don't worry, I have ice cubes here." Jinghan came in with a small basin of ice cubes.

"Ah, where did you get this ice cube? Great, with this thing, at least it can stop him from burning." Zhiming wrapped the ice cubes in a cloth and put them on the man's forehead and body. . "It depends on his fortune. If he can survive it, it won't be a big deal." Zhiming finished his work and then looked back at Jinghan, "Can you tell me where you got the ice now?"

Jinghan smiled, it was made from the saltpeter she asked Guoping to buy. When saltpeter dissolves in water, it takes away a lot of heat, so the water freezes. I heard this from others before, but Jinghan has never tried it. Today when Zhiming asked to buy medicinal materials, Jinghan suddenly remembered that if there was ice, the fever could be controlled, so she asked Guoping to buy saltpeter. She had just done a lot of water experiments and finally froze out such a small basin of ice cubes. "Uncle Third, this was made with saltpeter. When you are free, I will tell you how to do it." Jinghan saw that the man's condition seemed to be a little more stable. "Third uncle, you go and eat first, I'll watch over you for a while."

That night, Zhiming and Wencheng took turns watching the man. At least by midnight, the man no longer had a fever.

The next morning, Zhiming was lying on the edge of the bed sleeping when he heard a sound. When he woke up, he saw that the man had opened his eyes and woke up. Zhiming hurriedly brought some water in and helped the man up, "Here, drink the water and talk later."

This house was originally occupied by Zhixin and Xue, but now Zhixin and Xue lived in the west room, while several girls crowded on the same bed with Jinghan.

As soon as there was any movement in the east room, Zhixin and the others heard it, and everyone quickly got up and came over to take a look. As soon as he entered the house, he saw that the man was awake and Zhiming was feeding him water. "Hey, he's awake now. He's really lucky." Zhixin said happily when he saw that the man was awake.

Zhiming fed the man all the water in the cup and then asked him to lie down. "Don't speak in a hurry. You were seriously injured and you are very weak now. No matter who you are or how you were injured." , we don’t care, as long as you get better.” This was the decision made by the Xu family last night, that is, they were not allowed to ask about their origins.

The man was obviously still very weak. He lay on the kang and said intermittently in a hoarse voice, "Thank you very much. If I can survive today, I will reward you generously in the future."

"You should recover well. When you get here, it will be just like your own home. Speaking of which, if my daughter hadn't discovered you, where would we have rescued you? This is life, and it is your life that should not be taken away, so you don't need to care too much. ." Zhixin looked at the man carefully, but he couldn't help but feel a good impression in his heart. In addition, the Xu family had a generous temper, so their attitude was very cordial.

The man couldn't help but wonder why the family could ignore his fatal injuries and not ask questions. This was really strange. But after hearing Zhixin's words, I felt relieved. "Thank you, uncle. Then I can rest in peace and recover." That's all, meeting each other means destiny. Maybe it's just like what people say, this is fate. In this case, just keep it with peace of mind.

Jinghan naturally heard the movement in the east room, but she didn't rush over. Instead, she went to stew some ginseng soup first. When the ginseng soup was ready, he came in with the ginseng soup and said, "Uncle San, I've stewed the ginseng soup. This guest is probably too weak, so he might as well drink some ginseng soup first. We'll have breakfast later. Just cook some porridge for the guest and let him eat it." He put the ginseng soup aside.

Zhiming and Zhixin stepped forward to help the man up. Jinghan fed the ginseng soup to the man to drink, and then everyone went out.

"Young master, just rest in peace and recuperate, don't think too much. Although our family's life is a little worse, since we have rescued you, we will definitely do our best to treat you. In addition, you don't have to think about repaying your kindness or not. We We don't save people because we want someone's reward. Just heal up and leave. We don't want to get into trouble after saving people." Jinghan said this bluntly before going out. , all of a sudden frightened everyone in the room.

Zhixin shook his head and said helplessly, "Master, please don't blame me. My daughter is too straight-tempered and won't say anything nice." After saying that, he glared at Jinghan and went out.

Zhiming also smiled and said, "This girl looks pretty good on weekdays. What happened today?"

The man had just heard Zhixin say that it was his daughter who found him in the woods. Now when he thought about it again, he realized that it was this little girl with a straight temper who saved him.
