Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Lan Qiyan plans to check the fields when he goes up the mountain to look for herbs tomorrow.

Yuze knew that his mother didn't believe it, so he didn't explain it. His mother would understand after seeing it.

It is already late autumn, but the food stored at home is not enough. However, we should be able to store enough before the heavy snow comes.

Now she was thinking if she could get a wild boar and exchange it for some silver to clean up the dilapidated thatched hut.

Thinking about so many things to do, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

"What's wrong with Yanyan?" Old Mrs. Yu thought she was not feeling well and asked hurriedly.

"Mom, you're not asleep either."

"I see you tossing and turning, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No, I'm fine."

Old Lady Yu might have guessed the reason why she tossed and turned, "Is Yanyan worried about how to survive in the winter?"

"Mom, you are so smart. I thought that we have 20 to 30 kilograms of flour now, and we can dig some herbs to exchange for money before the snow comes.

Besides, the sweet potatoes are almost ready to be harvested, so I won’t starve to death, but what should I do with my thatched hut? I still want to replace it with a tiled one.”

Old Lady Yu sighed, "We have two thatched huts and a kitchen, which is equivalent to the tiles for three houses. We also need to hire people to do it, which will cost about four or five taels of silver."

"Four or five taels?" Lan Qiyan thought that this shouldn't be too difficult. A wild boar could be exchanged for 12 taels.

When she thought about this, she became motivated, "Niangni, go to sleep peacefully, I will go up the mountain."

Ever since Old Lady Yu took the medicine given by Lan Qiyan, her legs haven't hurt as much. Although her muscles have atrophied a little, she can move slowly with the help of a stick.

Seeing Lan Qiyan was going up the mountain, she got excited and actually started walking, "No, no, it's too dangerous at night, you can't go."

Lan Qiyan was overjoyed, "Mom, can you walk now?"

Old Lady Yu, who realized it later, also became excited and said, "Yanyan is such a lucky star, such a lucky star.

Yanyan, tell me what you want, and I will go up the mountain to find it for you."

Lan Qiyan helped her onto the bed and said, "Mom, you are still unstable. You are acting out of emotional excitement.

We still have to proceed step by step. You have to believe in my ability. I am most afraid of death and will not let myself get hurt."

Old Lady Yu wanted to say something, but Lan Qiyan opened the door and ran away, "Mom, wait for my good news."

She won't come back unless she gets enough money to replace the tiles tonight. She can't wait for a heavy snowfall and be killed by the roof.

Yuze and Yuxiu from the next room ran over and asked in unison, "What happened to grandma?"

Old Lady Yu pointed at the gate and said, "Your mother wanted to replace the thatched house with tiles. I told her that it would cost four or five taels, and she ran out when she heard that."

"Ah, mother, are you going up the mountain? Then I'll go after you!"

Yuze grabbed Yuxiu and said, "Mom doesn't want us to follow, so don't go."

Yu Xiu didn't understand, "Aren't you afraid that something might happen to your mother?"

Yuze shook his head. "You should worry about the animals in the mountains. Mother is definitely targeting them."

"Then mother should take me there. At least I still have the strength."

"Yeah, just no brains."

Yu Xiu was originally moved by his own words, but was completely chilled to the bone by his elder brother's urination.

Yu Xiu cried, "Grandma, look at her big brother."

"Listen to your big brother, you little brat. Go back to sleep. I'll wait for your mother to come back."

……

Lan Qiyan had already run to the foot of the mountain in one breath. Fortunately, he ran fast, otherwise Yu Xiu would have caught up with him. How would he cheat then?

Although there are many graves at the foot of the mountain, she is not afraid at all as she firmly believes in materialism.

Isn’t there a saying that the person you fear is the one that others think about day and night?

But he couldn't help but mutter, "Dear ancestors, grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, I am sorry to bother you so much for passing by here so late at night.

The young woman has a 50-year-old mother-in-law and six hungry children at home.

As a widow, I have no choice but to ask you to bless me to meet a big wild boar this time.

I used the money I earned to repair the house, and the rest will be used to honor you."

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Dear all in the graves: We all died of poverty, and we still have to pray for her to kill a big wild boar. Is there any justice in this world?

There are still a few insects chirping in the late autumn night, and the autumn wind is blowing gently, making people want to sleep.

But Lan Qiyan still kept moving forward, vigorous and confident, talking to himself and cheering himself up.

She felt that her begging for help tonight was correct because there was a dark shadow moving in front of her right.

Her first reaction was not fear but excitement. Has the big wild boar finally appeared?

Lan Qiyan picked up a large branch and rushed forward, "Big wild boar, where are you going to escape? Take this stick from me."

Then he hit the black shadow with a stick and it fell to the ground. From the sound, it didn't seem to be a pig.

When she got closer, she saw that it was a man in a nightgown and a grinning mask.

"How can this be a human? Where is my big wild boar? Where did my big wild boar go?"

The person on the ground was only seriously injured and hit with a club. He couldn't speak, but he was still conscious.

When he heard this familiar voice at this time, he actually felt very close to it.

If this woman could save his life, he would reward her handsomely.

Lan Qiyan took advantage of the moonlight to feel the man's pulse. "He still has a pulse, so he's not dead. But he's bleeding so fast that he'll die sooner or later."

She felt around the man and found a purse. When she opened it, she saw that it was full of silver and gold leaves, and even a few needles.

Lan Qiyan smiled, "I don't know if you are a man or a woman, but you feel like you are a man. However, you have an embroidery needle in your purse. But you are really lucky today. With the embroidery needle, you can be saved."

Lan Qiyan took out another knife from the man, then began to untie the thread on his clothes, and finally threw it on the embroidery needle.

Lan Qiyan took a deep breath and said, "Although you have fainted, I still want to tell you that I will sew up your wound. There is no anesthetic, so just bear with it."

The man didn't move. He wanted to see how the woman sewed it.

Lan Qiyan encouraged himself, "You can do it, I was the one who performed surgery to take Xiaohua out when she was in labor.

It was me who performed surgery to save Xiaoju from a difficult birth. This type of surgery is very easy for me to perform.

Don't worry, although I don't make this for people, it will definitely be fine for you."

The man became nervous. What did she say? Wasn't she performing surgery on people?

Who did she do it for?

Does she know how to sew? Is she going to use herself as an experiment?

What followed was a heart-wrenching pain. After thirteen stitches, my teeth were almost broken.

Lan Qiyan sewed up the man's wound and took out five taels of silver from his purse, "This is my reward for the surgery I performed on you."

The man who had fainted: "..."
