A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Xia Tian patted his chest, took a deep breath, and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw that the villagers who had been digging wild vegetables just now were running towards that direction.

"Nothing will happen, right?" Xia Tian muttered softly, then quickly reacted and followed the people around him to run towards the place where the scream had just happened.

When we got there, we found out that it was a young wife in the village who was frightened.

Just now, when digging wild vegetables, the young daughter-in-law felt a little pain in her waist and wanted to stand up to relieve it. As a result, as soon as she stood up, she turned her head and made eye contact with a snake on the tree next to her.

The young wife was frightened out of her wits in an instant, but fortunately her loud scream probably scared the snake, and by the time everyone got to it, the snake had already run away.

At this moment, everyone was surrounding the young daughter-in-law, asking questions at once.

Xia Tian squeezed over to take a look. The young wife was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her face was still a little pale, and she probably hadn't recovered from the shock just now.

One of the aunts, who was probably in her fifties, joked, "Xiaoqing's mother, you are useless too. What is there to be afraid of? If I were your aunt, I would definitely catch him and we would have meat to eat today."

Xiaoqing's mother is the young daughter-in-law who was frightened by the snake just now.

Unexpectedly, although she looks young, she is already a mother.

Xia Tian was secretly shocked!

Everyone listened to what the aunt said and gradually relaxed. Although the villagers also ate snake meat, not many women dared to catch it directly.

It is normal for villagers to encounter snakes because they often go up the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.

But generally everyone will take precautions in advance, such as taking a stick and knocking while walking to scare away snakes in the grass, or tying up the cuffs of sleeves and trouser legs to prevent insects and ants from getting in.

Xiaoqing's mother's sudden action just now could really scare someone to death.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Xia Tian thought that if he had encountered it, he would probably not be in a good situation either.

After the scare just now, no one was in the mood to continue digging vegetables, so they packed up and walked down the mountain together.

When I got home, it was around a little after twelve o'clock.

Xia Tian put the things under the shed, went to the kitchen to drink a bowl of cold boiled water, opened the lid of the pot and saw that the rice was still in the pot. Shen Nian had not eaten yet.

When he reached the door of the upper room and was about to lift the curtain, he secretly looked at what Shen Nian was doing.

Before I could move, I heard a suppressed cough coming from the room, which lasted for a long time.

These past two days, he didn't take any medicine and had a good appetite when eating. I thought he was just weak and coughed occasionally, and it wasn't as serious as the villagers said.

Hearing the coughing today, one after another, I'm afraid he might be coughing up pneumonia.

After Shen Nian finished coughing, Xia Tian went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of warm water and brought it in, "Brother Shen, have a drink of water!"

Shen Nian was leaning on the quilt at this time, his face was still a little pale, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and the veins on his hand covering his chest were bulging. After a while, he took the bowl and drank a sip of water.

Xia Tian watched Shen Nian finish drinking the water, took the bowl and went to the kitchen to get a wooden basin with some warm water, brought it to the upper room, took Shen Nian's towel, dipped it in the water, wrung it dry, and handed it to him.

Shen Nian took the towel and slowly wiped the sweat from his forehead. The coughing just now made him feel a little weak.

Xia Tian saw Shen Nian's slow movements and knew that he had not yet recovered.

He stepped forward and took the towel from Shen Nian's hand, threw it again, and without giving it to him again, he said directly, "Brother Shen, let me help you wipe it."

Shen Nian was really unable to do it, so he nodded slightly. Xia Tian then put one hand on the back of Shen Nian's head and with the other hand took a towel and gently wiped the sweat off his face and neck.

Shen Nian looked at Xia Tian's movements and his body stiffened slightly. No girl had ever been so close to him before.

Xia Tian also felt Shen Nian's discomfort, moved slightly, and thought to himself that he had never taken care of anyone like this before.

In my previous life, I was determined not to get married, so I remained single until I was in my thirties.

Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, I was able to do the babysitting job very well.

It’s true that people sing the song that suits their situation. The adaptability is amazing!

After complaining about himself in his heart, Xia Tian threw the towel down again. Seeing that Shen Nian had sweated so much just now, he probably needed to change his inner clothes.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Brother Shen, let me help you wipe your back as well. After that, you can change your inner clothes so that you will feel more comfortable."

Shen Nian paused, probably not expecting Xia Tian to say that.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Shen Nian didn't say anything, Xia Tian thought that he might be unwilling.

Just as I was about to say forget it and stop wiping it, I saw Shen Nian slowly take off his outer clothes, wearing a white inner garment, and turned around to lie on the kang.

Xia Tian was stunned. Should I wipe it or not?

Looking at the back of Shen Nian's head, Xia Tian resignedly stepped forward, lifted up her inner garment with one hand, and reached in with a towel with the other to quickly wipe her back.

He let go, pulled the clothes straight, said, "Okay, change your clothes!", then picked up the wooden basin and walked out of the room quickly.

Standing in the yard, he took a deep breath and then picked up the basin to pour water.

Why did I feel like I was more nervous than Shen Nian just now?

It's really incomprehensible. She is an old lady and has seen all kinds of scenes.

Xia Tian shook his head and prepared to make lunch.

I picked some bitter herbs dug from the mountains, washed them, blanched them, and made a cold dish.

She chopped up the Chinese toon and fried an egg. She then heated up the shredded potatoes and rice that she had prepared in the morning and brought them to the table in the upper room.

Seeing Shen Nian eating calmly, Xia Tian finally couldn't help but said, "Brother Shen, let's go see a doctor. Even if you take some medicine to relieve the pain, you will feel better."

Seeing that Shen Nian was still indifferent, neither speaking nor nodding, Xia Tian felt a little discouraged. "Then you should eat more of this bitter vegetable salad. I heard that it can also clear away heat and detoxify, and relieve coughs."

Shen Nianwei nodded, picked up a piece of bitter vegetable with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly.

It's not that he doesn't want to be treated, but he has been poisoned since he was a child. Over the years, the poison has penetrated into his internal organs and is incurable.

Now I am just barely surviving...

Xia Tian felt uncomfortable. Although they had only been together for two days, Shen Nian always looked like a stranger, but he had never made things difficult for her.

He ate whatever she cooked, and he never interrupted her when she was nagging. No matter how you look at it, he was a good partner in life.

Forget it, just take better care of him when you live together. We are all miserable people, and you are not much better off.

The two finished their meal in silence, and Xia Tian packed up and left.

After lunch, Xia Tian took Shen Nian's changed clothes to the river to wash. When he turned the clothes over, he found a little bloodstain on the collar. The clothes were dark in color and could not be seen without careful observation.

No way, has Shen Nian started coughing up blood? This is how it's always played out on TV, and in the end...

Xia Tian was shocked by her own thoughts. She had just married here because she didn't want to become a widow so soon!

bah bah bah!

No, she must be overthinking it!

No, we must find a doctor to check on Shen Nian. After all, he is her husband in name only, and we cannot let him remain so negative.

Having made up his mind, Xia Tian decided to go to the town clinic to inquire when he went to the market the day after tomorrow.

After breakfast the next day, Xiatian planned to go and see the bamboo forest that he had liked yesterday.

After giving Shen Nian some instructions, he put on his backpack, took the hoe, bag and other things and went up the mountain.

Mrs. Yao is going to help in the fields today, so Xia Tian is going alone.

They soon reached the mountain, and Xia Tian followed his memory and walked towards the bamboo forest.

The road was difficult to walk on, so Xia Tian first found a rope to tie his trouser legs tightly to prevent snakes from coming in. As he walked, he used an axe to cut off the branches and weeds that blocked the way.

It took more than half an hour to reach the edge of the bamboo forest.

I looked around and saw that there were indeed few people coming.

The bamboo forest looks quite large. Walking inside, you can see bamboo shoots sticking out from the bulges of dead leaves.

Xia Tian was not in a hurry to dig bamboo shoots. He first took a quick look around and found no danger. Then he found a place to put down his backpack, took out a small hoe, and started digging bamboo shoots.

The bamboo shoots are buried very deep and difficult to dig. In the summer, it takes half a day to dig out one.

I thought that the hoe was too small and not very convenient to use.

Dig up more bamboo shoots and bring them home to stew with chicken, stir-fry, or eat them cold. They are delicious.

The leftovers can be dried into bamboo shoots and saved for later consumption.

In the summer, when I dig bamboo shoots and think about how to eat them, my mouth is watering.

I'm just worried about how to take so many bamboo shoots back. It would be great if I had some space.

Others who travel through time have systems and spaces, and at the very least, they have a skill, such as plant identification and immense strength. But for her, wow, she doesn't have any benefits at all.

Xia Tian was complaining about the unfairness of God in his heart when suddenly a rabbit ran over from the side.

Xia Tian rushed over reflexively, but unfortunately he missed.

She hadn't eaten meat for several days, and she had finally come across one, so how could she let it go? She immediately got up and chased after the rabbit.

When the rabbit saw someone chasing it, it ran around here and there. Xia Tian was so tired that he was out of breath and finally let the rabbit run away.

Xia Tian stopped half-dead, holding his knees and gasping for breath. Suddenly he felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw that a big wild boar was only a dozen meters away from him.
