Chapter 826 Staying Overnight
But when we almost arrived, it was already late and the city gates were closed, so we could not leave until early the next morning.
The two of them turned back and found a small village to stay the night.
The village closest to Tianshui City is called Xiguan Village, which means the western frontier. There are about a hundred households in it.
When Ye Wenyan and his sister arrived, the villagers had just finished dinner, and the smoke from some houses was still rising. Occasionally, children would run around and play on the village roads, creating a lively scene.
Ye Feizhou said, "Let's pick a house and stay there for one night. I'll give you some money."
Ye Wenyan didn't have much to choose from, so he found a house with smoke still coming out of the kitchen and knocked on the door.
The two of them had not eaten at noon, and it happened that the family had not yet turned off the fire, so they asked them to make some more for them.
Soon someone came out of the house, stood in the yard and looked at them for a while, then asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Ye Wenyan said, "Mother-in-law, we were going to Tianshui City, but unfortunately we arrived late and the city gates were closed. We wanted to stay here for one night and ask you to cook some food for us. Do you think it's convenient? Mother-in-law, don't worry, we will give you money."
After she finished speaking, she immediately took out a small piece of silver from her sleeve pocket and handed it over.
The mother-in-law originally didn't want to let outsiders stay, but when she saw the silver, she didn't say a word of disagreement.
Finally, he opened the gate for them and said, "Come in. The villagers live in simple houses. Don't be disgusted."
As he spoke, he looked at the piece of silver in Ye Wenyan's hand.
Ye Wenyan stuffed the silver into her hand, "My brother and I didn't have lunch, and we are really hungry now. Grandma, please get us something to eat!" "Okay, sit down, sit down quickly." Grandma was very happy. Although this piece of silver was small, it was enough for a farmer's family to use for two years. With the silver, she could go to the city tomorrow to get medicine for her son, and there was hope that her son's leg would get better.
When she thought of this, she started crying again. She was afraid of being seen, so she wiped her tears away and went to the kitchen.
Ye Feizhou tied their horses at the gate of the yard and let them graze on their own. Ye Wenyan had already moved a small stool and sat in the yard.
He also walked over and sat down. Just as he was about to say a few words to his sister, he saw a young woman coming out of another room with a basin of blood in her hand.
The young woman was startled when she suddenly saw a stranger in the yard. Fortunately, her mother-in-law came out from the kitchen and told her that the stranger was a guest who wanted to stay overnight and gave her a piece of silver.
The young woman was very happy to hear that there was silver, and she quickly said, "Then you sit down first, and when I'm done, I'll cook for you with my mother-in-law." After that, she took the basin of blood and poured it directly at the door. Someone from the same village saw it and asked her, "Is your man's leg still not working? Have you gone to the city to see him?"
The little woman sighed, "We went there once, but they asked for too much silver, and we didn't have the money to treat it."
"Tsk tsk, this is fatal. He is the only one in the family who can earn money, and his leg is broken. How will he live in the future?"
Everyone else is worried about their family, so how can they not worry themselves?
The young woman came back after pouring the water and smiled at Ye Wenyan embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, I'll go cook for you right away." After that, she went to the kitchen to find her mother-in-law. The two of them talked about something, and soon the young woman came out again, apparently about to go out.
Ye Wenyan was puzzled and asked her, "Where are you going?"
The young woman said, "We are poor and can't find anything to eat to entertain our distinguished guests. You have given us money, so we can't let you eat the same porridge and pickles as we do. I will go to the rich family in the village to buy some noodles and at least make two bowls of noodles for you to eat."
She left immediately after she finished speaking, without giving Ye Wenyan a chance to stop her. Seeing this, Ye Feizhou said, "I thought they had a sick person at home, and they would save all the money to go to the city for medical treatment. I didn't expect that they could even spare some to buy noodles for us. They are indeed a solid family."
Ye Wenyan nodded, "It can be seen that the local customs are still good." After that, he stood up and asked the mother-in-law, "Is it your son who injured his leg? How serious is the injury? It sounds serious?"
My mother-in-law was adding firewood to the stove. When she heard this question, tears immediately fell from her eyes.
"To be honest, if it wasn't for Daniu's medical treatment, and you just wanted to stay for one night and have a simple meal, I wouldn't dare to accept a single cent from you. It's really difficult at home. Since Daniu injured his leg, no one in the family can go out to work. My daughter-in-law is two months pregnant and is busy taking care of him every day. I, an old woman, feel bad seeing this. So when you said you wanted to give me money, I took it against my conscience, thinking that I could use the money to treat Daniu's illness.
Don't worry, girl. When Daniu's illness is cured and he can make money again, we will definitely pay you back the money."
Ye Wenyan laughed. She was just a passerby. How could she expect them to pay back the money?
But since there was a patient here, she had to take a look. Although her spiritual power was no longer usable, her medical skills could still hold up the scene. Moreover, the storage bracelet could be opened, and there were many spare pills inside.
So she asked the old lady, "Can I go and see her? I know a little bit about medicine."
The mother-in-law was a little hesitant. After all, Ye Wenyan was too young, and she couldn't believe that she also knew medical skills.
Seeing this, Ye Feizhou said, "It doesn't cost money to take a look, and there's nothing to lose for you. You don't care whether she really knows medicine or not. Just think that she is curious and wants to take a look!"
The mother-in-law thought so too, she couldn't miss a piece of meat, so she wiped her hands and took them to the main house.
The room was filled with the smell of medicine and blood. Ye Wenyan saw the man named Daniu lying on the couch at a glance.
The man looked to be about 24 or 25 years old. His legs were bloody from the knees on. He was covered with some dark brown ointment, which he applied a lot but did not stop the bleeding. Blood had already seeped out of the ointment and flowed onto the mattress.
The mother-in-law went to take a look and said, "This won't work! This medicine can't even stop the bleeding, how can it heal the wound? If a person keeps bleeding like this, he will die sooner or later! Let Gui Niang go to the city to get more medicine tomorrow, and if it doesn't work, take you with you."
Daniu said to her, "Mom, just listen to me and don't treat it. I know how badly my leg is injured. My knee is broken. There is only hope if I see a famous doctor and take expensive medicine. We don't have the money for that! I have a bad fever every night these days. When I changed the dressing today, Gui Niang said that the wound didn't look good. It was red, swollen, and pus was flowing. It seemed like an inflammation as the doctor said. I have always remembered what the doctor said. If it is inflamed, it will not heal. I may not have much time left. Let's not waste money on me. You keep it and use it to nourish Gui Niang in the future so that she can breastfeed the baby well."
