BXBX NOVEL Chapter 4: Helping
Chapter 4: Helping
Su Li gritted her teeth and used all her strength.
Chen Xiang was a little surprised to see Su Li suddenly appear. Didn\'t she leave? Why did she suddenly come back and help her out of kindness?
"Where to push the stone?"
Su Li gritted her teeth as she looked at Chen Xiang, who was in a daze. She was almost exhausted to death, but Chen Xiang still had time to be in a daze!
"That way!" Chen Xiang pointed to a place for Su Li.
Su Li pushed the stone over forcefully. When the stone left the pit, it slipped back. Su Li silently moved her foot away.
Chen Xiang held her waist and followed behind Su Li.
"Done!" Su Li clapped her hands.
"Thank you so much for today." Chen Xiang\'s tone was a little choked up.
In the past few years, because her man was a cripple, the people in the village looked down on her and her child.
Not to mention helping her, they did not even have a nice word to say!
Su Li noticed that Chen Xiang\'s hand had been supporting her waist. She must have sprained it when she was pushing the stone just now.
"I think you twisted your waist. Let me take a look at it."
"No, no need!" Chen Xiang dodged.
Su Li said with a straight face, "If you don\'t receive treatment in time, your waist will hurt for at least three months. If you can\'t work anymore..."
"Then help me take a look!" Before Su Li could finish speaking, Chen Xiang hurriedly finished her sentence.
Su Li followed Chen Xiang into the house.
Chen Xiang rolled up her clothes in embarrassment. Su Li took a look and pinched it again. It was indeed a sprain. Fortunately, it was not too serious.
"Hiss..." Chen Xiang gasped in pain.
Su Li said in an experienced manner, "It\'s a sprain. Don\'t do heavy work for the next few days. I\'ll give you a prescription. You\'ll be fine after drinking it for a few days."
If only she had silver needles. She would be able to get rid of the illness with a few needles.
Chen Xiang\'s expression was a little strange. She looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Su Li only thought that she was too touched and didn\'t think too much about it. She directly prescribed a prescription for Chen Xiang and reminded her.
"Remember to get the medicine."
Chen Xiang nodded. "Thank you!"
She had never heard that Su Li knew medicine. Prescribing prescriptions was like a child\'s play. She might just poison her to death later!
In any case, she had to deal with the current situation first. It did not matter to Su Li if she bought the medicine later!
After leaving Chen Xiang\'s house, Su Li headed straight up the mountain. This time, not only did she want to pick restorative incense, but she also planned to dig up some wild vegetables to bring home. There were no vegetables to eat at home. If she didn\'t dig up some wild vegetables, she wouldn\'t have any dinner.
"Cockscomb!"
Su Li had just finished picking the restorative incense when she discovered a large patch of cockscomb. This was a huge surprise.
The tender leaves and flowers of cockscomb could be eaten. All the grass and seeds could be used as medicine. The seeds could also be used for pastries in place of sesame seeds. She had really picked up a treasure this time.
Su Li rolled up her sleeves and started cutting the cockscombs with the broken scythe in the basket.
Su Li only stopped when she saw the basket full of cockscombs.
Su Li raised her head and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Her fever had just subsided and she was sweating again. She felt even weaker.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard a rustling sound behind her.
Su Li\'s hair stood on end.
It was almost dark. Could it be that some ferocious beast had descended the mountain?
Su Li looked down at the missing scythe, her heart pounding.
Forget it, the best plan was to run!
Su Li used her primordial power and ran out with a swoosh, leaving only an afterimage.
He Yufeng looked at the departing figure expressionlessly as he carried the thing on his shoulder and continued to walk back.
Su Li finally reached the foot of the mountain. She propped herself up on her knees and panted heavily. Her body was really a little weak. She had to nourish it well.
"Brother, she\'s back."
He Erhu stood at the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw Su Li, he immediately shouted into the courtyard.
He Dahu pretended not to care and stood up. He glanced at the door.
"So be it. She\'s a big woman. How can she lose herself?"
Su Li walked closer and saw He Erhu standing at the entrance of the courtyard. Thinking that he was waiting for her, she revealed a smile that she thought was very friendly. Just as she was about to greet He Erhu, he disappeared before she could speak.
He Erhu\'s noisy voice came from the courtyard.
"Brother, she smiled at me just now. She looked so beautiful when she smiled."
He Erhu recalled Su Li\'s smile at him just now and couldn\'t help but reveal a silly smile.
"Hehe." He couldn\'t help but laugh.
He Dahu said seriously, "Don\'t be fooled by her appearance. Be careful that she doesn\'t sell us again."
Su Li was speechless.
In her memory, the original host had really done such a thing. There was once when He Dahu and He Erhu were bullied outside and cried all the way home. They originally wanted to complain to Su Li and ask her to stand up for them.
Unexpectedly, the host found them annoying when they cried, so she pulled them to town and prepared to sell these two children. If He Yufeng hadn\'t arrived in time, these two children might have really been sold by the Host!
Su Li couldn\'t help but hold her forehead. Did the host\'s brain cramp up? She even wanted to sell her biological sons!
Su Li looked at the dirty brothers and couldn\'t help but boil a large pot of water to help them shower.
"What are you doing?" He Dahu gripped his shirt tightly.
Su Li rolled up her sleeves. "Of course I\'m helping you bathe. Why don\'t you take a look at how black you are? Hurry up and take off your clothes."
He Dahu said righteously, "Father said that men and women should not touch each other, so you can\'t take off my clothes."
Su Li was speechless.
A three-year-old brat was telling her that men and women should not touch each other!
Su Li\'s expression was fierce as she waved her fist. "Come and take a shower. Otherwise, I\'ll beat you up."
"Al-Alright then!" He Erhu was the first to surrender.
He would not tell anyone that he just wanted Su Li to help him shower. From the time he could remember, Su Li had never treated him so well.
This was exactly what he wanted. Only a fool would reject it.
He Dahu glanced at the spineless He Erhu. Then, he looked troubled but helpless.
Su Li looked at the two boys in front of her who were soaking in the water obediently and thought to herself that it was indeed useless to reason with them. The right thing to do was to threaten them with her fists.
Su Li carefully helped the two brothers bathe. There was no soap here, so she could only rub them with the soap pod.
After a while, something black floated in the basin.
Su Li resisted the urge to vomit and scolded He Yufeng and the host over and over again in her heart.
Before He Yufeng could walk into the courtyard, he heard the laughter in my house. He stopped outside, not sure if he had come to the wrong place.
"Alright, the water is cold. Get up quickly." Su Li\'s voice came from inside the house.
Immediately after, He Dahu and He Erhu agreed obediently.
That woman was kind enough to bathe the children? This didn\'t seem like her!
He Dahu and He Erhu didn\'t have many decent clothes. There were a few holes in every piece of clothing. Su Li chose one and for them first. She would make up for it later.
"Daddy is back!"
He Erhu saw He Yufeng from the corner of his eye and excitedly rushed towards him.
