An orphan girl from a farming family: Everyday farming in the mountains during natural disasters

Immediately afterwards, Chen Dawei and his son came in together.

"Kang'er is injured!" Chen Dawei's words shocked Chen Yuzhen, Li Benfu and Xia Qingyue.

Li Weisheng helped Li Weikan lie down on a straw mat not far away.

Li Weikang, who was lying down, raised his head and turned to the crowd, a smile appeared on his sweaty face, "I was just caught for a moment, it's okay, don't scare Sister Qingyue!"

He held one hand tightly to his abdomen and his face was pale.

"I'll go boil some hot water. The wound needs to be treated as soon as possible." Li Weisheng quickly ran to the kitchen to boil water.

"I'm going to look for some herbs. There are still some left from what Qingyue brought earlier."

Tears welled up in Chen Yuzhen's eyes and she ran to a corner of the cave where two large wooden boxes were stacked.

She was anxious, and her trembling hands didn't hold the lock on the box properly. She tried twice but failed to open it. She bit her lower lip hard, and the pain spread. She finally held the lock, lifted it up, opened the box and searched.

Li Benfu and Chen Dawei squatted beside Li Weikan, wanting to check on his injuries.

Li Weikan gently took away his hand that was covering his wound. The moment his hand left his body, a look of pain flashed across his face.

"Let me see how serious your injury is." Xia Qingyue stepped forward.

"This..." Chen Dawei had some concerns, after all, Xia Qingyue was an unmarried woman.

"Uncle Chen, it's okay."

"Let me tear open the clothes where the injury is." Li Benfu carefully tore open the bloody and already torn clothes.

During the whole process, Li Weikang clenched his teeth and said nothing.

The bloody wound was exposed, with a palm-sized scratch, streaks of blood, and rolled up skin and flesh.

There was a fist-sized bite mark nearby. Half of the flesh in that area was bitten off, and it was bumpy. Bright red blood was flowing from the wound, and there was a circle of teeth marks of varying depths around the edge.

It was shocking to see.

Xia Qingyue felt that the wounds looked familiar. "It seems that they were bitten by wolves. Dry herbs alone won't work. I'll go out and find some other herbs!"

"I'll go with you!" Chen Dawei stood up.

Chen Yuzhen also said she wanted to go together.

Li Benfu said he would stay to look after Li Weikan.

The three people and the dog went outside, and Xia Qingyue looked for some hemostatic and anti-inflammatory herbs. Fortunately, it had rained some time ago, so they were easier to find.

After finding the medicine, they rushed back without stopping.

After returning to the cave, it took Li Benfu and Li Weisheng, father and son, more than 20 minutes to clean Li Weikang's wound with warm water.

The injured Li Weikan did not look well and his face was covered in sweat, but his mental state was still good. He comforted his family by saying that he was fine, it was only a minor injury and he would be fine after a few days of rest.

"Kang'er, stop talking and take a rest." Chen Yuzhen adjusted the pillow for her eldest son, trying to make him lie more comfortably.

Xia Qingyue was pounding herbs on the table. She regretted at this moment why she didn't think of buying some ready-made medicines when she went down the mountain, such as medicine for treating external injuries.

If peace returns outside in the future, she will go out and stock up on more medical supplies.

Xia Qingyue took the crushed herbs and put them in a bowl. Li Weisheng said, "Sister Qingyue, let me do the application. You can teach me from the side."

"it is good."

Two more torches were lit in the cave, and the cave was brightly lit.

Li Weisheng half-knelt on the ground, holding a bowl in one hand and peeling off the blood-soaked cloth strip that was covering Li Weikang's wound to stop the bleeding with the other hand.

As the cloth was removed, a small amount of blood came out. Li Weisheng's eyebrows jumped. He put two fingers side by side, scraped the herbal medicine on it, and gently applied it to the wound. After applying a layer, a little blood still flowed out.

Li Benfu took a handkerchief and wiped away the blood mixed with herbs.

After a while.

"The bleeding has stopped!" Li Weisheng smiled happily.

Li Benfu and the others breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

Xia Qingyue and Chen Yuzhen were in the kitchen drying the herbs.

When Chen Yuzhen heard the good news, she covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes narrowed into slits due to smiling.

She choked up, "Qingyue, thank you, otherwise we wouldn't be able to heal Kang'er so quickly today."

"Auntie, once the bleeding stops, the problem won't be serious. You need to observe more closely. Inflammation of the wound can easily cause fever."

After the medicine was boiled and heated to a lukewarm state, Chen Yuzhen brought it to Li Weikan to drink. After he finished drinking it, he fell asleep from exhaustion.

Chen Youmao guarded Li Weikan, while the others came to the open-air cave.

"Sheng'er, have you been bitten by a wolf?" Chen Yuzhen looked at her youngest son and Chen Dawei worriedly.

"We are fine. This is what happened. Today we went to the forest we discovered last time. We first found wild vegetables and fruits, and later we found a lot of prey, including rabbits, pheasants, and civets.

Just when we were happily setting traps and hunting, two wild wolves suddenly jumped out, and one of them was very close to me. It happened so suddenly that I was scared to death. It was my eldest brother who pushed me and saved me, but he was injured! "

Li Weisheng's eyelids drooped and he blamed himself.

Chen Dawei said, "Maybe we startled a wild wolf that was out hunting. We saw many traces of animal life in that forest. I guess there are ferocious beasts over there."

Hearing this, Xia Qingyue's heart moved. This situation was somewhat similar to the dense forest she had been to.

She became worried and asked, "Where is the forest?"

Li Weisheng told the truth: "There is a stream near where we met in the reed marsh. It takes about half an hour to walk along the lower part of the stream to reach the destination.

Oh, by the way, there is a big river there, much bigger than the one here."

Xia Qingyue understood, and was certain in her heart that he was talking about the dangerous dense forest where she had been before.

Chen Dawei pointed to a few backpacks beside him and two blood-stained, bulging burlap bags on the ground, "We brought back the wild wolves we killed, and there are a few non-venomous snakes that we can make snake soup with."

Snake soup?

Xia Qingyue thought of the bamboo snake she had encountered in the dense forest some time ago. Its body was arched, its black eyes were as big as green beans, its long and thin tongue was sticking out, and its green scales...

She felt nauseous physiologically and couldn't help but dry-heave. She turned her head to the side, fearing that if she breathed too hard she would smell the fishy odor of the snake.

"Sister Qingyue, what's wrong with you?"

"Qingyue?"

Several people were startled and looked at her worriedly.

Chen Yuzhen thought of something. She glanced at the sack and whispered to Chen Dawei, "Brother, Qingyue must be afraid of snakes. Take those things away quickly."

Chen Dawei, who understood what was going on, went there quickly.

Xia Qingyue waved her hands and explained, "I'm fine, I just don't like snakes. I feel sick when I see or hear them."

No matter how disgusting it is, if it threatens someone's life, she will get rid of him without hesitation, just like she did last time.

Li Weisheng and Li Benfu suddenly realized what was going on. The three of them looked at each other and tacitly stopped mentioning the word "snake".

"It's getting late. My uncle and I will make lunch. Sister Qingyue, you sit here and eat some wild fruits. I'll wash them and bring them to you right away." Li Weisheng carried the basket filled with wild fruits and vegetables out of the cave.

After a few minutes, Li Weisheng brought in two bowls of washed wild fruits.

A bowl of fluffy, egg-sized stuff with a green-brown skin.

The wild fruits in the other bowl are colorful.

Xia Qingyue looked at it, and a hint of interest appeared in her eyes.
