do not you know? You are the daughter-in-law bought by Brother Li with money, the common wife of the Li family!
—
Li Man was in a daze, and came here somehow. There was a verdant tree in front of him, and the only thing that was quiet was the screaming of insects in the grass.
She sat slumped on the ground leaning on the tree roots, her pair of embroidered shoes were already muddy, and she didn't take care of them lazily. The words that Peony said kept flashing through her mind, as well as her slightly surprised and sympathetic eyes.
Overhead, under the cover of towering trees, only a small piece of blue sky is exposed.
She suddenly thought of modern things.
Because of congenital heart disease, the little girl could only stand in the corner and watch her friends playing with rubber bands enviously.
At the sports meeting, she didn't even have the qualifications to cheer for others, but she could only stay at home and look at the pot of sunflowers on the window sill while listening to the bursts of shouts coming from the campus. A few leaves are missing.
On the university campus, under the sycamore tree, the couple walking together are always enviable, but she was so nervous on the first date that she went into shock and completely frightened the boy who wanted to get close to her.
later later...
After graduating from university, when other classmates were busy with work, she was arranged by her parents for a lifelong event.
That man has a good family background, good looks, high education, and good job. When they met for the first time, she was fascinated by the warm smile of that man.
She felt that this was God's compensation to her for giving her such a good man.
After marriage, the two respected each other as guests, as plain as water, but she still felt extremely happy.
From a little girl who didn't know anything, she learned to do housework, learned to cook, and cooked all kinds of delicacies to serve him.
However, the warm smile when they met for the first time appeared in his eyes less and less.
He often comes home very late or doesn't even come home.
. …
Suddenly, feeling that her eyes were astringent, Li Man stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyes, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and her face was also wet.
Is she crying
She originally thought that these otherworldly lives had made her gradually forget the past, but she didn't expect it to become clearer now.
She misses her family, that era, even the man who betrayed her.
. …
The Li family is in a mess right now.
Li Shu's eyes were red, and he secretly rubbed the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand behind his back, "Could that woman run away again?"
"No." Li Hua looked pale, not sure if it was to comfort the third brother or to comfort himself.
Xiao Wu rubbed his eyes and cried, "I want a sister."
"Brother?" Li Yan sat on the kang and looked at Li Mo questioningly.
Li Mo frowned and said, "Don't think about it, she must not have escaped by herself."
"Yeah." Li Yan's expression became a little more dignified, "Brother, I'm just worried that something will happen to her."
"Yes." Li Mo also said, "I searched around the village just now, but I didn't see anyone. It's already afternoon, we have to find her before dark. Second brother, you go to the village with third brother Take a look at the field in front, fourth brother, you still have a look in the village, I'm going to the back mountain, Xiao Wu, you stay at home, in case she comes back soon."
"En." Hearing that Li Man would come back, Xiao Wu choked up a few times and got up from the ground.
"Brother, why don't I go to the back mountain with you?" Li Shu felt that the back mountain was more dangerous, so he didn't worry about his brother being alone.
Li Mo waved his hands and said, "Your second brother is still injured, I can rest assured that you follow him."
"Then let's go to the back mountain." Li Yan said.
"How do you know me well?" Li Mo said.
The brothers stopped talking. They all knew that the eldest brother had been hunting in the mountains since he was a child, and his ability to distinguish the terrain, smells and various dangers on the mountain was unmatched by anyone in Shennvgou.
"Okay, after an hour, no matter what you can find or not, you should go home first." Li Mo finally explained, and everyone dispersed.
—
Time seemed to stand still, and the bright sunlight passed through the dense gaps in the trees, casting mottled shadows on her body.
Li Man squinted her eyes, staring blankly at the extremely narrow piece of blue sky, like a stone carving.
I don't know how long it took, a gust of wind blew, the leaves rustled, and a few broad leaves fell lightly on her body, and she was startled suddenly, as if awakened from a dream, a jerk suddenly got up from the ground.
How long has she been out? Should the family be anxious? After she arrived at Li's house, she never came out alone.
Li Man patted the grass clippings stuck to her clothes, turned around and wanted to go down the mountain to go home, but she didn't want to, as soon as she turned her head, she met a pair of cold and murderous eyes.
Is it a dog
Oh no, it's a wolf, a ferocious wolf that wants to eat people.
The blood all over his body rushed straight to his forehead in an instant. Li Man wanted to run, but her legs were numb and limp, shaking like chaff, how could she move a step
The wolf seemed to see Li Man's timidity, and walked towards her quietly.
Li Man wanted to back up, but her feet gave way, and she fell to the ground again. The wolf's eyes turned cold, its limbs kicked, and it rushed towards her.
tang
"Ah!" Li Man yelled as if her heart stopped beating suddenly, and instinctively grabbed the grass clippings on the ground and threw it at it, while she ran behind the tree rolling and crawling.
However, before she got up on her front feet, the swift body of the wolf had already overtaken her, and she closed her eyes in fright, waiting in fear for the pain of her neck being bitten off.
But what was waiting was not pain, but a force that hugged her and rolled her on the ground a few times.
She opened her eyes, and before she could see the person coming, she saw the nimble figure of the person embracing the wolf, rolling down the side of the tree roots to a small low slope.
Li Man hurriedly got up, looked over there, and saw the wolf pressing on Li Mo's body with its fangs outstretched.
And Li Mo grabbed the wolf's neck with both hands, so that it couldn't speak to him.
"Brother." When Li Man was flustered, she picked up a wooden branch, thought it was too thin, threw it away and wanted to change it, and finally found a thicker wooden stick like a circle, grabbed it and ran down the slope. The slope was too steep, and she ran in a hurry, her foot sprained, her head fell to the ground first, and she rolled down like that.
"Man'er." Seeing Li Man rolling down, Li Mo didn't move, his chest felt like it was bursting, he pinched the wolf with both hands, tried his best to shake it away, and ran towards Li Man himself.
And that wolf is obviously very hungry, it is impossible to just put the meat in its mouth like this, and at this moment Li Mo ran with his back to it, tantamount to exposing his greatest weakness to the wolf. He rushed towards Li Mo swiftly and powerfully, wanting to bite the back of his neck with his mouth.
This time, the wolf was ruthless. Although Li Mo flashed in time, he still scratched a blood mark on his back.
As soon as Li Man opened her eyes from the dizziness, she saw this thrilling scene, screamed in fright, grabbed the stick at hand, got up and hit the wolf.
Still, she missed it.
Li Mo fought with the wolf again, but this time he had the upper hand, his thick body like a hill pressed hard on the wolf's body, his pair of big palms ruthlessly pinched the wolf's neck, ruthlessly...
After a while, there was a faint smell of blood in the air. Li Man thought it was Li Mo's back injury, but when she stepped forward to look, the wolf stopped moving, with its mouth open, and blood was still flowing from the corner of its mouth.
He strangled the wolf to death? Li Man was stunned, she was still holding the stick in her little hand, and she didn't know how to put it down.
Li Mo rolled over from the wolf wearily, and sat down beside him, perhaps pulling the wound on his back, hissing.
Li Man came back to her senses and hurried over, "How are you?"
She wanted to see how his back was hurt, but Li Mo stopped him with his hand, "I'm fine, help me up."
"Okay." Li Man supported his arm, helped him stand up, and put one hand around his waist naturally, so that he could lean on her.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Seeing her tense face, Li Mo comforted her softly, but let her carry her arms on her shoulders.
"No, I saw a wolf catch you just now." Li Mo's voice was still trembling. Suddenly, cold liquid dripped onto the back of her hand. There were a few bloodstains on his hand, and when he looked up, the back of his gray shirt had been scratched, and from her angle, he could vaguely see a bloody mess.
Her face was pale, and she looked at him in surprise, "Your back is still bleeding."
"It's okay, I was touched by that beast." Li Mo smiled at her indifferently, then picked up the wooden stick she dropped just now, walked to the side of the wolf, and drew a circle around it.
Li Man followed and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
"Although the animal's fur is a little bit bad, but fortunately it's not damaged at all. It should be worth some money. I'll let my third brother come over and drag it back later." Li Mo said, throwing away the stick.
No wonder he pinched it just now? Is it not to hurt its fur? Seeing that there was still a dagger pinned to his waist, Li Man suddenly became angry, "You don't even want your own life for the wolf skin? Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"
If he hadn't flashed so fast at that time, it might not be his back that was injured, but his neck...
"It's really okay." Seeing her staring at the watery eyes, Li Mo was obviously a little panicked. The fall made him completely flustered, and he ran towards her without thinking about it, but was taken advantage of by the wolf.
Li Man glanced at him, and quickly went to help him, but Li Mo wanted to pull back his hand and walk away to show that he was really okay, but she gave him a fierce look, "Still trying to be brave? It hurts like this, Hurry home and find a doctor."
"Oh." Li Mo pursed his lips and remained silent.
The two kept walking down the mountain, and Li Man felt guilty and moved. She felt guilty that she had hurt Li Mo and was moved. Li Mo didn't ask any thoughtful words along the way.
Yes, co-wife, a word that makes her feel extremely absurd when she thinks about it, but she can't blame anyone, she is a ghost from another world, occupying someone else's body, maybe, the owner and this family are brothers As long as I lived happily, I broke this kind of happiness when I came here.
But, please give her some more time to digest such horrifying information, she needs to adapt, maybe, at some point in the future, she can accept it, but definitely not now.
Li Mo walked slowly in accordance with her rhythm, his heart was tense like a string, whether she wanted to run away again, he was not sure, nor did he want to be sure, the only thing he felt was that she was like a cat at the moment. A frightened little rabbit desperately needs protection.
"Brother?" At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, Li Shu ran towards this side quickly, and Li Yan behind him also accelerated a bit.
Li Man froze, and leaned towards Li Mo as if retreating. Li Shu had a straight temper, would he ask her why she ran away from home? And she didn't think of an excuse.
"Brother, are you injured?" Fortunately, Li Shu's attention was all focused on the injured Li Mo, he only glanced at Li Man lightly, then helped Li Mo from her, then turned his head, He said in a low voice again, "Daughter-in-law, let's go home."
"Oh." He didn't ask anything, Li Man's heart was sore and warm, she answered and trotted to follow.
Li Yan still had a hurt face, but he still walked over, walking beside Li Man, even though he didn't say a word, it made her feel endless pressure.
—
Back home, Li Mo lay on the kang, facing the worried and doubtful eyes of his younger brothers, he didn't want to say too much, so he sent them all out.
Li Shu went up the mountain to pull the wolf's body, and Li Yan and Li Hua went to invite the doctor together.
The remaining Xiaowu was leaning on the kang, holding his hand, and weeping choked up. In other words, every time the eldest brother came home from injury, he would cry. The rest of the family was used to it. She was so sad that she wanted to cry, especially when she saw how deep Li Mo's wound was, her hands trembled.
"Take off your shirt? I'll wash your wound."
Li Mo hurriedly refused, "Farewell, the doctor will take care of it later." He was afraid that the bleeding wound would frighten her.
Li Man glared at him, and rubbed a clean cloth in warm water a few times, "The doctor won't scrub your wound when he comes."
"Third brother in a while..."
"Take off quickly." Would Li Shu be better than her if he was clumsy? Li Man put down the cloth, stretched out her hand and wanted to do it herself.
Li Mo sat up hurriedly, and took off a coat in embarrassment.
"Your clothes are also torn and taken off." Li Man pointed at the side.
Li Mo's expression was a little unnatural, "It's okay, just wipe off the blood on the side."
Isn't he shy? Li Man looked suspiciously at his dark cheeks, and really noticed something strange, she couldn't help being angry and funny, even being able to accept things like having a wife, is she still afraid of being seen by her upper body? What's more, Li Yan and Li Shu were all shirtless in front of her.
Being stared at by her like this made Li Mo even more uncomfortable, so he had to turn his back, took off his inner clothes, and lay naked on the kang head.
Li Man didn't speak any more. She dried Bunin's body and gently wiped the blood from the edge of the wound.
Although she was mentally prepared, the deep bloodstains on her strong back still hurt her eyes.
After finally cleaning his wound, and wiping the surrounding area with wine, she was already drenched in sweat when it was done.
"Are you tired? Take a rest." Li Mo heard her take a long breath and said.
"I'm not tired." Li Man put the wine away, then took out a basin of bloody water and poured it out.
As soon as they got to the door, they saw Li Yan and Li Hua come back.
Li Yan was carrying an old man with a goatee on his back, and the old man was waving his hands on his back, shouting and shouting, "It's unreasonable, it's too presumptuous, are you robbers? How can you do this to this doctor? I warn You, even if you snatch me, I will not treat patients."
Li Yan didn't care, and walked quickly into the yard, while Li Hua followed behind, holding the medicine bag in one hand and holding on with the other, as if he was afraid that the old man would move carelessly and fall off.
She hurriedly poured the blood into the latrine, and then rushed back.
Li Yan and others have already brought the old man to the east room, "Doctor, please help me take a look, my elder brother is seriously injured."
"Huh." The old man gave Li Mo on the kang a cold look, and then, he was about to go out with the medicine bag on his back, "I said before, you grabbed me by force, I won't look at such an injury .”
"Doctor." Li Hua hurriedly stopped him and apologized, "We were reckless in what we did just now, please don't take offense if we offended you, it's because my elder brother was seriously injured, we were afraid of wasting time, so we had no choice but to Will you... ”
"Your elder brother is seriously injured? He won't be able to die for a while, besides, there must be someone who comes first, right? The fourth family of Chencun invited me early in the morning, saying that the old sow in the family had a dystocia - I am going now to help , Who knew that I was intercepted by you in the middle of the road, aren't you trying to make me lose my promise?" The old man stroked his beard and said angrily.
"Doctor, although my elder brother's injury is not fatal, if the delay continues, who can guarantee it, please take a look?" Li Hua was anxious, but he didn't dare to offend this temper-tantrum old man.
Li Yan wiped off his sweat and said, "As long as you give my elder brother a good look at it, I'll send you back to Chen Village immediately, and I promise not to delay things."
"Hmph, do you want me to send you?" The old man looked around the room contemptuously, then sized up Li Yan and Li Hua, and snorted, "It's not difficult for me to save your eldest brother, but with your family's situation like this, Can I afford the consultation fee? Besides, Doctor Ben didn’t come here on his own will, it was you—” He pointed at Li Yan and said viciously, “You forced me to come here, I tell you, I’m going to I sue you, not only do you have to pay me for my consultation fee, but you also have to sue—"
Li Man looked at the old man coldly, and suddenly sneered, "As a doctor who doesn't save people, I think you are the one who should be sued." "Where did you come from?" The old man glanced
Looking at Li Man, he said disdainfully, "So rude?" As the only doctor in Shennvgou, he has long been accustomed to the reverence and awe of everyone, even if Li Yan robbed him forcefully, his attitude did not dare to be too arrogant.
"Rude? It's better than your ignorance." Li Man also looked at him contemptuously, and said with a half-smile, "If you don't like my elder brother's injury, just say it, why don't you make it up and give it to me?" Does the old sow have a difficult delivery?"
"You?" The old man's beard trembled in anger, "You think I don't look good?"
"Of course." Li Man said bluntly, "If you can see well, you are already here and want to run away? I think you clearly don't understand, so you want to run away? Okay, you can go. Wait for tomorrow. He will tell people that anyone who is sick or has a disaster should not look for you as soon as possible. You will shirk anyway if you look for you. It is thanks to the doctor. Hey, second brother, why did you hire a person who can only treat pigs? Woolen cloth?"
"Who can only treat pigs?" The old man asked Li Man angrily.
Li Man waved her hand, "You always walk slowly."
"You, you..." The old man pointed at her, his face bruised and purple.
"Let's go." Li Yan also yelled at him at this moment, throwing the old man to his knees, "You guys, do you think that this doctor is the one you want to invite and give away?"
"Consultation fee?" Li Man sneered, "You have also seen our family, we are impoverished, why don't you take whatever you like?"
"..."
"Why don't you stay for dinner?" Seeing that he was so angry that he couldn't speak, Li Man curled her lips and said, "Hey, well, seeing how old you are, it's not easy to cheat like this. I will cook some more tonight and leave you a piece to eat."
The old man swallowed hard, glared at Li Man viciously, and said, "Okay, good girl, I'll let you see if I'm a liar for eating and drinking, or if I'm not good at it." ?”
As he said that, he angrily took down the medicine bag and put it on the big cabinet. Li Hua just wanted to step forward to help, but was signaled by Li Man's eyes, and stopped aside again, only looking at her and smiling silently.
In fact, the old man also saw Li Man's provocative method, but he was so arrogant that he just couldn't stand such words, even if he wanted to get angry, he wanted to heal Li Mo's injury and show this girl.
