Report to the Marquis! The Madam went to the military camp to flirt with men again
Chapter 126 I Can’t Cook
As the old woman spoke, she broke off a piece of bamboo from the ground and used it as a walking stick, then limped forward.
She was also afraid that Lin Zhuwei would deceive her and run away secretly, so she could only look back from time to time.
In this way, he walked very slowly, so that she would feel at ease and not look back frequently.
Lin Zhuwei simply chatted with her as they walked: "Why did you come up the mountain?"
The old woman sighed and said, "My son has always been in poor health. The only doctor in the village died in an accident last year, and no doctor has come to the village since then. I heard that there are some herbs in the mountains that can cure my son's illness, so I went up the mountain..."
"Ah."
The old woman was a talkative person, and she kept muttering along the way: "Girl, I think you are also capable. You dare to go up the mountain alone..."
From her intermittent words, Lin Zhuwei learned that her surname was Xiao and that she had an only son whose legs were injured two years ago.
This is a remote small village called Xialinshan, where villagers make a living by hunting and fishing.
Because his legs were not very flexible, he walked and stopped many times, and it took him an hour to reach Aunt Xiao's house.
"Girl, have a drink of water first." Aunt Xiao quickly poured her a glass of water, "I'll go see my son first."
"Son, I've got a doctor to see you!"
Lin Zhuwei stood at the door and saw a young man lying on the bed in the dark room. The room was filled with a foul odor.
The young man's face was pale. When he saw Lin Zhuwei, he looked a little embarrassed. He said angrily, "Mom, I've already told you not to bother me anymore. Besides, she's just a girl. How can she be a doctor? Don't tease me."
Aunt Xiao also felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, she did seek medical help from all directions for some of her illnesses. The girl in front of her was only fifteen or sixteen years old. She might only know some herbal medicine, but she didn't know much about medical skills.
But she had no other options at the moment. Not only was there no doctor in town, she couldn't even afford one.
Lin Zhuwei saw her embarrassment, but did not expose her. He walked into the room with an indifferent look on his face.
The man's legs were diseased and he had been lying in bed for years. As an orphan and a widow, there was no one to help him turn over, so his body was covered with prickly heat and gave off a foul odor.
Seeing Lin Zhuwei approaching, the man felt even more embarrassed and could not help but move his body forward and lie down.
Lin Zhuwei walked straight up to him and lifted up his trousers. She saw that his knees were red and swollen, and the area below his calves was swollen like steamed buns.
She lifted his thigh slightly, and he let out a sharp cry.
"Bear with it, it will hurt a little." Lin Zhuwei said, pinching his swollen knee hard.
"what……"
The man screamed so loudly that Aunt Xiao was frightened and asked tremblingly, "Girl, is this okay?"
It looked like he most likely had a dislocated bone, but it had been delayed for too long and she wasn't sure if he could fully recover.
It seems that now we can only help him reduce the swelling and relieve the pain first, and then try to use manual techniques to correct his bones.
Lin Zhuwei walked straight out, picked up some herbs from the bamboo basket, and took a stone bowl from the kitchen to pound the herbs.
Seeing that she pursed her lips and said nothing, Aunt Xiao was too busy to ask any more questions.
Lin Zhuwei applied herbal medicine on the man's leg and bandaged it. When she finished all this, it was already completely dark.
"Jung-hoon, what do you think?"
The man's thin face showed a rare smile: "Mom, I feel much better. My legs don't hurt so much anymore."
He was greatly surprised. He never expected that this girl actually had such good skills.
Aunt Xiao was very happy, and her wrinkled face was filled with smiles.
He quickly took out a purse from the roof beam, took out ten coins, and murmured in embarrassment: "Miss, can I give you the consultation fee first?"
Lin Zhuwei glanced at her and took out a handful of herbs from the bamboo basket: "Follow what I did just now and change his medicine three times a day. We'll talk about the consultation fee later. I'm going back first."
When Auntie Xiao saw that she was about to leave, she quickly stopped her and said, "Girl, where do you live? It's getting dark, and the mountain roads here are not easy to walk on."
Lin Zhuwei glanced at the dark intersection and felt a little nervous because she didn't know the way back to the charity cemetery!
Aunt Xiao warmly asked, "Miss, how about you stay here with me tonight?"
Seeing Lin Zhuwei nod, Aunt Xiao quickly led her to the house next door: "You can live in this room. I'll get you some clean bedding."
Lin Zhuwei could see that Aunt Xiao was very excited, and she did her best to arrange the best things for her.
"Girl, take a good rest first. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
After saying this, Aunt Xiao went out with a smile.
Lin Zhuwei rested in the charity cemetery for the first time yesterday, and she did not get enough rest. As soon as she touched the bed, she fell asleep.
I woke up again to the aroma of rice.
"Girl, are you awake? Come and have dinner." Aunt Xiao greeted her warmly.
Lin Zhuwei had only eaten two fish the whole day and was indeed very hungry, so he sat down at the table without any hesitation.
There were three dishes and one soup, all of which were very simple home-cooked meals, without even a piece of meat.
But unexpectedly, the taste was so delicious, no worse than the one prepared by the chef hired by the Fu family at a high price.
"Thank you, Auntie Xiao. You can have your meal too."
"You're welcome. You eat first, I'll go feed my son."
Lin Zhuwei didn't refuse anymore. He finished his meal and went back to pounding medicine.
After being busy until midnight, Lin Zhuwei went to rest.
When I woke up the next day, I changed the medicine for Aunt Xiao's son early in the morning, and then went down to have breakfast at Aunt Xiao's warm invitation.
I didn't expect there would be chicken today.
Lin Zhuwei was very surprised. She didn't expect that Aunt Xiao would slaughter an old hen to entertain her.
My eyes were a little moist and my heart felt warm.
Aunt Xiao quickly put the chicken into her bowl and said, "Girl, eat it while it's hot. My old hen hasn't laid eggs for a long time. It's a waste of food to keep it. It's better to kill it and eat it."
After finishing the meal, Lin Zhuwei said, "Auntie Xiao, I have already pounded the medicine. You just need to change it three times a day. I will go to the mountain to pick some better herbs in the next two days."
"Thank you, thank you!" Aunt Xiao thanked her profusely and asked, "Miss, where do you live? I'll take you there."
Lin Zhuwei thought for a moment and said, "Yizhuang."
Aunt Xiao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Are you the girl that old man Jia pulled out of the sea a few days ago?"
Seeing her nod, Aunt Xiao said with emotion: "You are so lucky! The sea has swallowed so many people. When old man Jia was fishing for bodies on the beach, we were sighing that it was a pity that such a young girl died in the sea!"
Seeing that Lin Zhuwei looked indifferent, he did not say a word.
Aunt Xiao invited her warmly: "It's inconvenient for a girl like you to live in Yizhuang. Why don't you stay here with me?"
Lin Zhuwei shook her head and just packed her things.
Aunt Xiao didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't want to force her, so she stuffed half an old hen into her bamboo basket.
Lin Zhuwei was stunned for a moment.
"Miss..." Aunt Xiao was a little embarrassed, "I can't afford too much consultation fee, this chicken... please don't mind..."
Lin Zhuwei didn't mind, but...
"I do not know how to cook……"
Uh……
This surprised Auntie Xiao, but she quickly pulled Lin Zhuwei aside and said, "Miss, am I good at cooking? Come on, let me teach you! Eating well is the most important thing when you are out."
Lin Zhu only thought of the rotten rice and vegetables in the kitchen of Yizhuang, which were not only unappetizing but also disgusting. Aunt Xiao's words really touched her heart.
Aunt Xiao quickly went to the vegetable garden to pick some fresh fruits and vegetables and started teaching Lin Zhuwei step by step.
After all the hard work, Lin Zhuwei was sweating profusely, and the dishes he cooked had no color, fragrance or taste and were difficult to swallow.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Aunt Xiao quickly picked some more vegetables, packed them up and put them in the bamboo basket.
"Girl, come to my place again tomorrow. I'll teach you how to cook something delicious."
Aunt Xiao gave Lin Zhuwei earnest instructions before sending her out the door.
When Lin Zhuwei returned to the charity cemetery, he found that the two grilled fish had been eaten.
She simply heated up the food that Auntie Xiao had cooked, and then went to call Old Man Jia: "Master Jia, it's time to eat!"
When Old Man Jia saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He thought Lin Zhuwei had left long ago. After all, the charity cemetery was an ominous place and others avoided it. He didn't expect that this girl was so brave.
What surprised him most was that the dish she brought out actually contained chicken, which was rare. He hadn't tasted chicken for a long time.
Lin Zhuwei helped him fill a bowl of rice, pressed it firmly, and said, "Master Jia, are you hungry? Eat quickly."
