Chapter 21 Weird Footprints

Ji Changcheng repeatedly shook his head in denial, he supported Yun Su to sit down, "Sit down and rest first."

Yun Su watched him staring at her feet, "My feet are fine, you didn't step on them on purpose."

"It's fine." Ji Changcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Give me the clothes you hung on the bedside, and I'll mend them for you in a while." Yun Su pointed to the bedside, and said to him, "Your shoulder blade injury is inflamed, and the medicine you applied is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis." , not symptomatic."

Ji Changcheng was stunned for a moment, "You know so much, can it be possible that you can still treat illnesses?"

He thought that Yunsu just knew the ingredients of medicine, knew some basic knowledge of pharmacology, and occasionally she could make some medicine for typhoid fever.

"Don't underestimate me." Yun Su is also a little more relaxed when talking to him now, "I can read and like to see medical skills, so I can learn a little superficially."

More than superficial, she is just modest.

"Then what do you mean by inflammation? Is there a way to relieve it?" Ji Changcheng frowned slightly, "The injury to the scapula is not serious, but after washing at night, it is easy to itch, and there is still some pain."

"It's caused by the wound being exposed to heat and water." Yun Su said, "Mash the dandelion, honeysuckle, and coptis from our medicine field into juice, and apply it on the wound three to five times a day, within three days. recover."

It was the first time Ji Changcheng heard of this method, and he wanted to go to the medicine field to collect herbs and try them out, but was persuaded by Yun Su.

"It's dark at night and there are many mosquitoes. I'll make some honeysuckle for you to drink as tea. Tomorrow, I'll go to the medicine field early to gather some anti-inflammatory herbs and come back before you go hunting."

"Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, before the two children woke up, Yunsu made breakfast and was ready to go to the medicine field.

"You don't have to go. The medicine field and the mountain forest are the opposite places to hunt. It's troublesome to go back and forth. Yize woke up early in the past two days, so watch carefully." Yun Su told Ji Changcheng a few words before going out.

When Yunsu arrived at the medicine field, he walked around along the ridge of the field, picked the herbs to be used, and thought about saving time and going home early through the medicine field on the other side of the hill.

However, she accidentally saw a series of footprints of different shades, and even stepped on a few medicine seedlings.

This is clearly man-made! !

On weekdays, this road is close to the hillside, the summer sun is scorching, the hillside is bare and there is no shade, no villagers will take this road on purpose, unless it is a necessary place to go home.

Yun Su was thinking about adjusting anti-inflammatory herbs for Ji Changcheng, so she didn't stay here for too long, but before leaving, she deliberately didn't clean up the cut medicine seedlings, she wouldn't suffer in vain.

"Daddy, mother is back." Ji Yize, who was walking in the yard, saw Yunsu.

Ji Changcheng put down the sharpened bow in his hand and looked at Yun Su.

"Yize, accompany my mother to wash the herbal medicine. Mother wants to grind new medicine for Dad to heal his wounds." Yun Su handed the wrapped herbs to Yi Ze, and went sideways to get the stone bowl for grinding.

"okay."

Yun Su crushed the washed herbs in a stone bowl. The technique was very familiar, from collecting the juice to twisting out the herb foam in one go.

Ji Changcheng looked at her smooth movements and couldn't help even if he wanted to.

"Okay, the medicinal juice is in a small bottle. Remember to wipe it on at noon. Just sprinkle it on the coat on the back. The medicinal juice will seep into the clothes and flow to the wound. I will wash your clothes at night to save you the trouble of applying the medicine. "

Yun Su picked up the patch made of herbal foam.

"It will be better if I treat this patch later. If you are in a hurry to go hunting now, I will put one on for you first. After you sweat, the patch will fall off by itself, so you can just throw it away."

Ji Changcheng did not refute Yun Su's good intentions. In his opinion, this method may not have such a good effect. He just tried it with the mentality of giving it a try. After all, it was Yun Su's intention.

"Okay, then I'll go out."

After Ji Changcheng left, Yun Su cleaned up the stone tables in the yard, but the string of footprints down the hillside flashed in her mind. She remembered that there were not many families living in that area, and the most coincidental thing was that Xiong Kun's family lived there piece.

After sunset, sister Cuilan next door called Shang Yunsu to go to the vegetable field together.

"Yunsu, my vegetable field has just been watered, and the cucumbers and beans are growing very well. You can pick some with me. Fatty said that your pickled sweet and sour cucumbers and cowpeas are very delicious, hot and sour. Learn from you too."

"Okay, let's go." Yun Su readily agreed.

She also brought the two children of the family to play with Fatty in the open space of the vegetable garden.

Yunsu's medicine field was very close to Cuilan's vegetable garden. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Yunsu asked the three children to play on the hillside.

"Don't jump around here, go play on the hillside, lest you step on the vegetables in the field!" Cuilan also advised.

As the older brother, Ji Yize took the initiative to take the two younger ones to the hillside, "Let's go, my brother will give you a punch."

"Okay, my brother is mighty in boxing!"

"Fat girl wants to see too."

The three children ran to the hillside, Yunsu glanced at it from time to time, deliberately slowed down the speed of picking vegetables, and wanted to wait until it was darker before leaving.

"Mother, someone has sneaked past our medicine field!"

"That's right, Fatty saw it too." Fatty also shouted at the top of her voice, "Brother Yize went after her, it seems that she stepped on our medicine field on purpose."

Yun Su had expected that person would appear again, and ran to the other side of the medicine field when he heard the movement.

"Mother, I didn't catch up, but that figure looks familiar to me." Ji Yize ran back panting.

Cuilan lit the kerosene lamp and looked around.

She said in surprise: "Yun Su, look, the medicine seedlings here are all broken, and there are a few plants that are wilted and yellow, it must not have been stepped on just now, and some vicious person is here to toss your medicine field! !"

Yun Su looked at the medicine seedlings that had just been trampled off, and then at the wilted and yellowed plants, and sighed helplessly, "I don't know. Since Li Dajiao's incident, no one has come to the medicine field to make trouble."

"Then who do you think you've had conflicts with in the past few days?" Cuilan asked with concern.

Before Yun Su could open her mouth, Ji Yihan, who always had a hard time talking, was the first to say, "Xiong Kun's mother, her son beat my brother and scolded my mother. She was wronged first, and she couldn't speak up to my mother. My father was there at the time! "

"Yes, I remember, Fatty told me that it happened yesterday." Cuilan also suddenly realized.

She held Yun Su's hand and whispered: "Then Xiong Kun's mother is a small-minded person. Both of you and your husband were there that day. She was wronged and upset, so she—"

Yun Su hurriedly interrupted, "Sister Cuilan, if we haven't caught her, we can't identify her as Xiong Kun's mother."

"Then what should I do, I have to stay in the medicine field and catch him face to face?"
