In recent years, the weather is getting colder and colder, and even the continuous Cuifeng Mountain is now a vast expanse of white, and the snow on the roadside of Cuifeng Village is nearly a foot deep. Raised eyebrows: "Ruixue is a good year, it seems that next year will be another good harvest year!"
You Jin didn't understand this, she just felt that it was difficult for Xue Shen to do it. In this cold day, she went up to Cuifeng Mountain alone, because the old Chen said that the New Year was approaching, the family had too many people, and there was not enough firewood, so she sent Young Jin to Cuifeng Mountain to collect firewood.
If anyone from the outside found out about this, they would all laugh out loud: at home now, Yue Dafu and Yue Changlu are both at home, and the two big men do not come out to collect firewood, but instead let a little girl less than 12 years old. Go up the mountain for firewood! You must know that in the middle of winter, all the animals in the mountains are short of food. If it encounters some big insects or wolves, it will even kill them!
But where does the old Chen family care about you so much? It was because she clearly knew that going up the mountain at this time might kill her, so she sent Young Kim there. Sitting on the kang, he winked and said, "If she is caught by a big worm, it can only be said that her life is not good. You can't toss the old man at home for her, a loser!"
"That's what my mother said. If it wasn't for me being pregnant now, I should have served my parents more." Wanniang also stood up and spoke without a backache. Although she had only been in the door for more than half a month, she knew that How to make old Chen happy: "You Jin is the eldest daughter of our second room. Sister Su is not in good health. She should be more filial to her mother."
Old Chen was confused by Wanniang, and nodded with satisfaction: "You are quite sensible, nothing in this world is as big as a word of filial piety, isn't it?" Sitting cross-legged on the kang, he was busy sewing for Yue Dafu. New year's new clothes, she didn't care about her granddaughter who could die at any time in such cold weather.
It is also due to You Jin's rich experience in wild survival in his previous life. He just went to the foot of the mountain to gather firewood, which is not a big deal. Walking around in the mountains, after all, the mountains are full of hibernating animals. If they break into the den of the blind bear, it will be completely cold.
Maybe it was Young Jin who was really unlucky, so he thought about not disturbing the hibernating animals on the mountain, so he stepped on the snow nest, and then half of his body fell into a small pit. But in a moment, Young Jin reacted: he immediately reached out and grabbed the dry vines under the snowdrift, and the icy snow slag slipped down the cuffs that were raised high, but Young Jin had no time to pay attention to these details and tried his best to move up. climb.
This pit is quite deep, and even after Young Jin has fallen into the pit, he can't reach the bottom. If he falls into the pit in such a cold weather, it will be difficult to climb up, and it is certain that he will freeze to death here. So Young Jin gritted his teeth and tried his best to climb out.
Although Young Jin reacted, but after all, in the winter, his movements were slow, and Young Jin was still small and not strong enough, so he struggled for a long time until his body was soaked in snow before he climbed out of the pit. .
Crawling out of the pit, the exhausted Young Gold sat paralyzed in the snow, panting heavily. It was clearly the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, but he was sweating profusely, and the heat and dampness radiated from his body. Under the double attack of the penetrating padded jacket, Young Jin couldn't help shivering: "Ah!"
It wasn't until she was almost at rest that Young Jin stumbled up from the snow, and then she had the strength to look back to see what was in the pit she almost fell into just now. I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it, it was actually a big flat-headed snake curled up into a ball!
Young Jin broke into a cold sweat after realizing it. If he really fell into it, not to mention that he couldn't climb up, he was designated to wake up this hibernating poisonous snake, and he was afraid that he would be doomed. After heaving a sigh of relief, he hastily buried the dirt hole he fell into just now with snow, and then he carried a backpack full of firewood and dragged two long dead branches back home.
Although he was not buried in the belly of the snake, he fell ill the night after the firewood was chopped.
"Third sister! Third sister! Wake up!" The first thing that found that Young Jin was wrong was Young Yin who was sleeping beside her. Although the kang was still burning warmly, Young Yin, who was sleeping next to Young Jin, felt something abnormal. The scalding high temperature, it was only then that the third sister was found to have a fever.
Young Jin was not woken up, but Young Pearl and Young Treasure, who was sleeping beside her, were woken up. When they heard that the third sister had a fever, they all hunched over and crawled over: "What's the matter? Well, why did the third sister have a fever? "
"I don't know. Today, when the third sister came down from the mountain, I saw that her clothes were covered in ice cuffs. At that time, I urged her to change all her clothes. How could I know that she still caught a cold!" He got up and lit the oil lamp in the outer room, only to find that Young Jin's face was flushed from the burn.
Seeing the young gold who couldn't wake up with a high fever, the three sisters didn't know what to do, so they had to wake up the Su family. In the inner room, Mrs. Su had already woken up when she heard the movement outside. When she heard that Young Jin had a fever, she hurriedly asked Young Yin to take the handkerchief and go outside to get some snow, water, ice and ice handkerchief: "Help your third sister first. Cool down and wait until it cools down.”
Young Yin quickly used a wooden tub to put a basin of snow in the yard and returned, and then put the handkerchief directly on the snow to freeze for a while before applying it to Young Jin's head. But Youzhu Youbao looked at the blushing third sister, and she was even more anxious. It was the first time they had seen the competent third sister fall when they grew up, so how could they not be anxious
Youzhu asked anxiously, "Mother, is it just letting the third sister burn like this? Shouldn't we hire a doctor?" What if it burns out? The third sister is now the backbone of several of them, but she must not fall!
"In the middle of the night, if you invite the doctor and make the whole family uneasy, what will happen to your mother!" Although Su Shi was also very worried about Young Jin's condition, but now Young Jin is ill, I have been sick all the time, and if I really want to make trouble, who can protect these children? With a sigh, he said quietly, "Besides, we don't have any money, don't we?"
"Doesn't the third sister have money?" Youzhu retorted in a low voice, although she was afraid that others would find out that the third sister had saved a lot of private money, but now that the third sister is ill, she has to give the money to the third sister. Heal!
But Su Shi had to shake his head helplessly: "The money is hidden in your third sister's hands, I don't know where she put it, and I don't have any money on me..." Young Jin knew that he was swaying Not sure, so all the money was hidden by herself, and she didn't know where she put it!
"Is it possible to let the third sister burn like this? What if my brain is burned out?" Xiaozhu was so anxious that tears fell, and she put on her outer clothes and went outside: "I'll go and ask Doctor Ma. Come and save Third Sister!"
But now it's snowing and snowing outside, and it's pitch black. How far can Xiaozhu go without even a lantern? Just a stone's throw away from Yue's courtyard, he was pulled back by Young Yin, who was shouting to find someone from behind: "It's snowing heavily today, what are you going to do?"
With tears on her face, Xiaozhu glared and pulled her Xiaoyin: "You can watch the third sister have a fever, but I can't. If you don't save it, I will find someone to save the third sister!"
"Yue Youzhu, please stop making trouble, okay!" This is the first time that Youyin has yelled at Youzhu so loudly, and it is particularly loud in the quiet village: "The third sister is only ill now, so you are starting to cause trouble, right? No one wants to watch the third sister have an accident, but can you think about your actions!"
Xiaozhu was also frightened by Xiaoyin who was yelling so loudly, and it took a while for her to react, and she said, "The fourth sister, what do you think you should do..."
The two sisters stood in the wind and snow. There was only the whistling of the wind and the falling snowflakes. There were also dog barks from time to time in the distance. Xiaoyin swallowed dryly, feeling that he would be frozen after a while. He said, "Let's go back first. There will always be a way to relieve the third sister's fever. It's snowy and slippery today. If you have another accident, don't blame us after the third sister is healed."
After listening to You Yin's words, You Zhu nodded her head woodenly, and the two sisters, who were already covered in snow, turned back with one foot deep and one shallow foot.
Although I didn't have the money to ask the doctor, and I didn't dare to wake up the Yue family at night, the sisters of the young silver had to keep wiping the body of the young gold with the ice veil to cool down, and the two little eight and nine were also sitting on the side. , The head was dozing off bit by bit, but he refused to sleep, and he had to guard the third sister.
Youyin and Youzhu have been busy until late at night, Xu Shibing is really useful, and Youngjin, who was already blushing, has slept much more peacefully and is no longer restless.
***
Early the next morning, Young Jin just opened his heavy eyes drowsily and saw Young Yin who was sleeping beside him with his small head on his hands, just about to speak, but found that his voice was very dry. Still a little sore.
Young Yin was afraid that the third sister would be uncomfortable, so she did not dare to fall asleep. As soon as she heard the movement, she immediately woke up. Seeing that it was Young Jin who had woken up, she was pleasantly surprised: "Third sister, you are awake!" Then she rushed to herself. Putting the pillow behind You Jin, he helped her to sit up halfway: "Yesterday, in the middle of the night, third sister, you suddenly started to have a high fever, which scared us all!"
After taking a bowl of hot water brought by Youzhu, Youjin sipped half of the bowl, and it was like a long drought and rain. On Qing's small face, You Jin showed a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, Third Sister will be fine!"
"Third sister!" Seeing that she was finally fine, Youzhu jumped into her arms with joy, her eyes were red as if she was about to cry: "We are so afraid of you!"
With his right hand around Youzhu, he patted Youyin who was sitting beside him with his left hand soothingly: "Don't worry, don't you see that the third sister is all well now?" Although it is still a little uncomfortable, at least the fever has subsided now.
In the west wing, the commotion caused by Young Jin's sudden illness was calmed down like this, and the rest of the Yue family didn't move at all from beginning to end.
