In the book, I was fed by my sister

Chapter 52 Penalty Station

Despite Qin Zhongyuan's powerful medicine and needles, Li Manpeng's wound still bled profusely.

Qin Zhongyuan was getting more anxious, not sure if it was because he was worried about Li Manpeng or because there were too many candles burning in the room, making the air heavy. He also felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Wanshu also felt unwell and had a fever. He stood up and gently opened the door a crack to let in the cool breeze from outside.

Qin Shiyao was young and not affected by this, but he smelled a strange smell.

He followed the smell and finally found a small grass growing out of the soil under the bed.

"Fairy spleen?"

Also known as Epimedium, it is used to nourish the gate of life, improve essence and energy, strengthen tendons and bones, nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang...

Qin Shiyao pulled up the grass. He had just read medical books and started to learn about herbs. He was a little unsure whether the grass in front of him was what he saw in the book. "I remember my grandfather said that this should grow on high mountains..."

He carefully folded the fairy spleen and put it in his pocket. "Wait until grandpa rescues the person, and then show it to grandpa."

Song Li followed her sister into the mountains a few days ago and got to know many plants she had never seen before. She didn't know how these plants exerted their toxic effects, so she kept the seeds of these plants so that she could grow them and play with them in her spare time.

My sister said that this grass is for sheep to eat, and sheep can breed better after eating this grass. She thought that the man was injured there, so she could take the opportunity to test its efficacy.

Now the plant has been pulled out.

She quickly put away her little thoughts.

It seems that the "doctors" here not only have strange ways of treating illnesses, but are also familiar with plants.

As the night deepened, the excitement faded away.

Song Ran, holding his younger sister Song Li, passed by the door of Wang Guifang's house. He uttered a harsh "Puh" and cursed in a low voice, "You fall down like a dog every time you go out."

Song Li lay on her sister's shoulder. She couldn't help laughing when she heard her sister's curse. Her sister cursed others just in the hope that they would fall.

"What are you laughing at?" Song Ran patted the little sister's butt, "Get down, why are you as heavy as a piece of iron now? My hands are so sore."

Song Li jumped down obediently and took her sister's hand again.

After the excitement was over, Song Ran finally had the chance to ask about what happened during the day: "Did Li Guan and the others really bully you three times? Why didn't you tell your sister once?"

Song Li hesitated for a while. She couldn't remember how many conflicts she had with Li Guan. She only remembered that the child looked at her sinisterly every time. "Because... because I won the fight, so I didn't tell my sister."

"Was it all Li Rongrong's help?" Song Ran continued to ask.

Song Li was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect her sister to mention Li Rongrong. How come the good reputation finally fell on this little girl?

She replied vaguely, "I guess so."

"I remember you said you made three friends the first time you came back. Why did you fall out with Li Guan? I usually only see Li Zi hanging out with you. It seems you get along well with Rong Rong as well. Get along well with them in the future."

How could this misunderstanding grow bigger and bigger? Song Li quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister, I'm hungry."

"If you hadn't said you were hungry, I wouldn't have remembered. What did my sister tell you or explain to you before?" Song Ran's tone suddenly became serious.

Song Li's back was covered in cold sweat. Why did her elder sister suddenly get angry? She quickly recalled what her elder sister had said, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't utter a word.

Seeing that Song Li didn't answer for a long time, Song Ran's tone became more severe: "Didn't I say that children can't go to the river to play in the water? You go to the river to catch a few fish, and then come back and stand in the corner with me."

Song Li was stunned? What? Standing in the corner?

*

Song Li stood silently in the corner, her head against the cold stone wall. Two wild cats came closer curiously, rubbing their soft fur against her calves.

"Go away, you're disturbing me."

The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and Song Ran was busy moving in front of the stove. After she finished cooking, she couldn't help but look at the little figure standing in the corner, and her heart softened.

Grandma Gu stood next to Song Ran and said, "We have to set the rules. I don't know how many children have died in this river. Xiao Li'er is too brave. There is something I didn't tell you. When you went in, she sneaked into the woods alone."

"There is also this matter!" Song Ran's heart, which had just softened, hardened again.

Grandma Gu continued, "I was scared to death when I found her. Her clothes were soaked. I didn't know where she went and what had happened. When I was riding in a bullock cart today, I heard that a man was missing from the next village. His name was Zhang Qi. I wonder if you know him? He was finally found in the mountains. Only his bones were left. I guess he met a pack of wild wolves."

When Song Ran heard the news, he felt a little scared and said worriedly, "Oh, luckily I didn't go deep into the mountain. I guess this wild wolf will be hanging around for a while."

"Don't go into the mountains during this period. I don't know if the wild wolf will leave after tasting human flesh. I'm afraid that the wolf pack's attack on the village in the middle of the night will happen again. Keep the doors and windows closed tightly when you sleep."

Although Song Li was standing in the corner, she listened to their conversation with her ears erect. When she heard that her elder sister was not going to go into the mountains for a while, she turned around to look.

"If you can't even concentrate when you're being punished, just keep standing! You won't get any dinner."

Song Li's little face suddenly fell.

After the two cats had food, they stopped bothering Song Li and left her alone facing the wall.

After dinner, the sounds of dishes colliding and water flowing could be heard from the kitchen. Song Li pricked up her ears to listen to the noises.

"come on."

Song Li turned her head and glanced at her elder sister. She was a little unbelievable about what she heard. Seeing that her elder sister didn't say anything, she quickly ran to the table and hugged the bowl.

It was late at night and everything around was quiet, with only the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects.

Song Li gently pushed her elder sister, and seeing that she was still sleeping and unresponsive, she tiptoed out of the room.

She may have been blown by the wind of this land for too long, she actually felt sympathy for others. She tossed and turned at night, not knowing how the big fool was doing now.

The Song family is located at the end of the village. Starting from the front door, there is a stone path. After walking about a hundred steps, you can reach the main road. Then you pass through a bamboo forest where people wash clothes in the village and reach a fork in the road. After walking another hundred steps to the west, you can see a loquat tree sticking out of the wall in the yard. That is Damai's home.

Song Li followed Li Zi's method and pushed open the gate to the yard. After entering the yard, she knew where Da Mai was without even needing to find out where he was.

There is an open kitchen in the whole yard, and the only remaining thatched house with a door is where Barley lives.

This seemingly flimsy wooden door was actually locked with an iron lock.

Song Li called out twice in a low voice: "Da Mai~", and seeing that no one responded in the house, she leaned over the window sill and looked inside.

"So he fell asleep." She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Fools are better. Fools don't have worries in their hearts."

After leaving Damai's house and walking up, you will reach Li Manpeng's house.

She stood at the door of Damai's house, and Li Manpeng's soft voice of grief continued to be heard throughout the night.

She wanted to kill the man. But what should Da Mai do now that the man was dead? Would Da Mai be judged as the murderer? Does killing someone require a life sentence?

For a moment, these thoughts bound her like shackles.

"Judgement!"

This word hit Song Li's heart like a heavy hammer. She thought of the series of words "make a mistake, judge, and punish". How would this set of rules applied in the apocalyptic city-state be implemented in this village, and how would Damai be judged? Song Li was at a loss for words.

The adults in the village are all trying to avoid talking to Damai. If a trial really happens, I'm afraid no one will be willing to stand up and speak for Damai.

I don’t know if Grandma Barley will speak up about this. Such a big thing happened tonight, but Grandma Barley didn’t show up. I’m afraid she wants to stay away.

She thought that the only person who could speak for Barley was Chestnut.

My words don't count.
