Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

After comforting the old man, Xu Manyue pulled Yang Erhua aside and asked carefully, "Erhua, where is your brother?"

Yang Erhua lowered her head, bit her lip and said nothing.

Xu Manyue squatted down and looked at her, holding her shoulders with both hands.

"Erhua, I'm your brother's teacher. He hasn't been to school for a few days. Tell me the truth, did he go up the mountain?"

The Yang family's conditions were very poor. A blind old man and two children struggled to make ends meet.

The reason they were able to survive during the famine years was because of Yang Erming, a young boy of only thirteen, who often went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables or secretly sell some things for money to supplement the family income.

In fact, everyone in the team knew about this matter, but no one said anything. We were all from the same village, so no one would report it.

What's more, this is his ability. Most people basically don't dare to go up that mountain. Every time Yang Erming goes up the mountain, it is almost like gambling with his life. He may not encounter any wild beasts.

He has been lucky over the years, and someone has taught him how to avoid wild beasts and how to find things in the mountains, so he rarely gets into trouble.

But he is still young, and if he goes there too often, he will inevitably encounter danger.

Seeing that it was getting late and the person had not returned yet, Xu Manyue became anxious.

"Erhua, what happened? Your brother is not still in the mountains, right? You can't stay there for too long at night, or something bad will happen."

Yang Erhua bit her lips until they turned slightly white. She glanced into the room, pulled Xu Manyue to the corner, knelt down in front of her, and burst into tears.

"Sister Manyue, please save my brother. His leg is bleeding a lot. I... I tried to stop the bleeding with soot, but it wouldn't stop. I'm so scared. Please help me save him..."

Pot ash to stop bleeding?

This is just a folk remedy for stopping bleeding used by poor people. It has no scientific basis at all. If the wound is serious and gets infected, it will not just affect one leg.

Yang Erming is only thirteen years old. He is still young. If something really happens, what will happen not only to him, but also to Grandma Yang and Yang Erhua, who is only seven or eight years old?

Xu Manyue's face changed drastically, and she quickly grabbed Yang Erhua's hand and asked, "Where is your brother? Take me there quickly."

"He...he's in the shabby house next door. I didn't dare let grandma know. Before my brother fell into a coma, he warned me not to tell grandma. I didn't say anything. Sister, please don't tell grandma either. She won't be able to bear it."

"Don't talk about this for now, take me to find your brother!"

The two of them went to the dilapidated house next door and pushed open the door covered with cobwebs. Xu Manyue saw a young man lying on a pile of straw, his face pale, his body covered in cold sweat, his calves bleeding, and his flesh and blood all over.

Thirteen years old, it’s not quite accurate to say that he is a teenager, it’s more like a teenager.

Yang Erhua had already run up to him, hugged Yang Erming and started crying, her eyes red, "Brother, brother, don't scare me, wuwuwu, I'm scared..."

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Although she is young, she knows that the family is supported by her brother.

If my brother is gone, the whole family will be gone.

Grandma won’t be able to bear the blow either.

Xu Manyue hurried over, first took Yang Erming's pulse, and then checked the injury on his calf.

The injury was caused by some animal traps in the mountains. Logically, he had been to the mountains so many times that he should be able to recognize this kind of trap.

It seems that this time he wanted to go deep into the mountains, and accidentally ran into a hunting trap set by a previous hunter.

After checking the wound, Xu Manyue touched Yang Erming's forehead and found that he had a high fever and was in great pain all over his body. He was obviously in a coma.

This can't go on. We must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.

"Erhua, quickly run to the captain and ask him to bring a few people to take your brother to the hospital. He can't be delayed."

The Hong family is not far from the Yang family, so they should be able to catch up.

"Okay, I'll go right away, I'll go right away." Yang Erhua cried and ran outside desperately.

After the person left, Xu Manyue took out iodine tincture from the system to clean the wound on his calf bit by bit, then fed him anti-inflammatory medicine, tore open his clothes, and wrapped his wound tightly.

The rest depends on the captain and others.

Just as she had treated Yang Erming's wound, Hong Quan arrived pulling a cart. He rushed in and took a look inside, and was immediately frightened.

"Manyue, how is Erming? Should we send him to the county hospital now?"

Xu Manyue nodded and said, "I gave him some simple treatment, but the key thing is to send him to the hospital."

After all, she had only learned the basics, so the treatment she gave to the other party was simple.

It would be fine if nothing happened tonight, but if something happened she definitely wouldn't have the ability to save the person. The best way would be to send the person to the hospital.

Yang Erhua grabbed Hong Quan's arm and cried uncontrollably, "Uncle Hong, please save my brother. He's bleeding so much. I beg you, please save my brother..."

Hong Quan didn't hesitate at all. He nodded and said, "Erhua, go back and take care of your grandma first. You've been out for so long, she must be worried and suspicious. Don't worry, your brother will be fine."

After temporarily stabilizing the person and sending him away.

He looked at Xu Manyue and asked with difficulty, "Manyue, are you confident that you can cure Erming?"

"I'm not sure. If we can send him to the hospital, we should do it as soon as possible."

Xu Manyue immediately guessed what the other party meant.

She was not a professional, and Old Man Xu's medical skills were average. It was good that nothing happened tonight, but if something happened, it would be a matter of life and death.

Hong Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, took a deep breath, and stared at Xu Manyue, "Not sure at all?"

This trip to the hospital would cost at least several dollars, and the Yang family certainly didn't have that kind of money. The brigade only had 4.67 yuan left in its account.

He planned to use the four dollars and sixty-seven cents to see if he could buy some other grain seeds. Now every penny had to be spent wisely.

Even if he was willing to spend the money on Erming's medical treatment, it was late at night and the county town was so far away from the brigade that he could not send Erming to the hospital by himself.

As for looking for other people, they were all so hungry that they were seeing stars and had no strength in their bodies.

No one will come to help.

Xu Manyue was silent for a moment. "I'm 50% sure. If the high fever can go away, my life will be saved. If the high fever doesn't go away, there's nothing I can do."

She gave Yang Erming anti-inflammatory drugs and cleaned the wound.

But this high fever is a tough battle, it is more serious than the old lady’s previous high fever, and this high fever really cannot be reduced at all.

People will definitely die.
