Chapter 172 Almost out of food
Shui Zheran quickly pushed the old lady away and said, "Don't come over. He's injured. You can kill him with just one pounce."
The old lady didn't dare to move for a moment, and her tears fell like rain.
Su Qin opened the curtain and said: "You can't eat or drink for three days. When you are thirsty, you can only moisten your lips with cotton cloth. After three days, you can drink a small amount of water."
After a pause, he added, "You will need to be helped up and moved around after twelve hours to avoid intestinal adhesions."
Shui Zheran nodded, "I understand, you can take a rest."
The old lady sat next to her son, not daring to touch him and just crying.
Shui Ling looked very depressed. Fortunately, she had a good impression of this man, so she should take proper care of him.
Wei Chenglin came over and asked, "How's it going?"
Shui Zheran replied: "It's okay. The intestinal tract recovers quickly and it will be like a normal person in a month."
"Tsk, tsk, my brother and sister's medical skills are amazing. I heard that you didn't let your brother and sister practice medicine before?" Wei Chenglin said in a relaxed tone and started to gossip.
Shui Zheran went to the fire and sat down, and unhappily gave Wei Chenglin a piece of wood to use as a stool.
"If you want to treat someone, you have to look at their body. Let's talk about this kid. You have to take off half of your pants. Are you willing?"
The smile on Wei Chenglin's face froze, "Haha... don't be so rigid. This is saving people. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."
Shui Zheran looked sideways, "There is also a saying that puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha immediately. So the shortest way to become a Buddha is for me to kill someone with a knife, then put the knife down and become a Buddha?"
Wei Chenglin's face turned red when he was criticized, and he didn't know how to answer.
Shui Zheran patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's why I'm not happy. I hope this kind of thing happens as rarely as possible."
"That's true." Wei Chenglin nodded and held back everything he wanted to say.
Originally, he wanted Su Qin to work as a doctor in the Yamen. After all, people in his profession were often injured, but for the sake of brotherhood, he decided to let it go.
Seeing how concerned Shui Zheran is, what if the couple fights again?
Shui Zheran saw the change in Wei Chenglin's face and laughed in his heart. He said this on purpose, not because he didn't want his wife to save people, but because he didn't want to be in the limelight.
In this day and age, being in the limelight is not a good thing and may very well lead to death.
He sighed and said: "You are my brother. Of course I will not ignore anything if anything happens, but don't let outsiders know, otherwise those gossips may still think of ways to throw dirty water on my wife."
Wei Chenglin deeply agreed and nodded seriously, "You're right, I understand." He was still very happy in his heart. Shui Zheran's words showed that he would not exclude himself.
Now that they had some free time, they went outside to change their clothes and wash them. Shui Zheran joked: "You are good at washing clothes. You should do it more often."
Wei Chenglin chuckled, "That's because my wife is weak and my clothes have to be washed once a day, but she can't wash them either."
Shui Zheran nodded, took out a piece of soap base and gave it to him, "Use this, you don't need to give it to me, I still have it at home."
"What is this? It looks delicious." Wei Chenglin wanted to take a bite.
Shui Zheran burst out laughing, "It's the one that washes clothes. It doesn't smell like wax."
"Oh, it looks good." Wei Chenglin smeared a little of the blood stains on his clothes and wiped them clean. He said in surprise, "This stuff is great. It will definitely make money selling it to travel dealers."
Shui Zheran looked sideways, "Don't even think about it. This thing is not easy to make. It requires soap locust, pig pancreas and other items. The piece you have in your hand needs a pig's pancreas."
"Tsk, tsk, that's really hard to deal with. I'll take it back and use it secretly." Wei Chenglin sighed while washing clothes.
Shui Zheran looked at the sky. There were heavy dark clouds covering the sky. It was probably going to snow heavily. Heavy snowfall is normal in January.
He was a little worried. The people in the cave had begun to chew the bark of the trees. Once the heavy snow came, it would be more difficult for them to get out. There would definitely be trouble if there was no food.
He looked at Wei Chenglin, "How much food do you have left?"
"I still have a lot of broken rice. Are you out of food? I'll give you half of it." Wei Chenglin answered without thinking.
Shui Zheran smiled and said, "I still have food there, but I'm afraid the other people in the cave won't have much food."
Wei Chenglin paused while washing his clothes. He quickly reacted and glanced at Lin Zi with a frown, "There's nothing to eat here. We won't be able to go back until February depending on the situation."
Shui Zheran asked: "Why can I go back in February?"
"They used to be like this. They would squint when the weather was cold in January, and then go back in February. The people who came this time didn't look like people from a small tribe. It was probably civil strife in the prairie country. Nearly a thousand people occupied the capital. They came to the county seat.
There are hundreds of people."
"Well, if they don't leave, let's just keep our eyes open. Safety is the most important thing." Shui Zheran didn't want to take risks. Although he had space, he couldn't defeat so many people at once.
Once they have eaten up all the food in the prefectural and county towns, there is no need to stay, so they will definitely leave.
He entered the cave and hung his clothes on a rack next to the fire to bake.
Looking at his idle daughter, he chuckled and said, "Come hunting with me. It's going to snow heavily outside, and we won't have anything to eat. I'm afraid it will be harder to find food after the snow."
Shuiling jumped up and said, "Okay, let's go."
Gong Qianyu immediately ran over: "I'll go too."
Not to mention Shui Sheng, he also wanted to follow, but Shui Zheran didn't want to bring these two burdens, so he frowned and said, "You guys stay and watch over here for me, don't let some people bully my wife."
Shuisheng nodded obediently immediately. Gong Qianyu was not happy, but seeing how well-behaved Shuisheng was, he had no choice but to nod as well.
Shui Zheran took Shui Ling out of the cave, and they walked into the forest. When they saw the pine tree grease, they also collected it.
Seeing that Shui Ling was far away, he took out an apple and took a few bites, "I'm so suffocated. I can't eat anything in the cave."
Shui Zheran smiled and said: "Of course, there are a lot of people kidnapped by morals these days, so bear with it."
"Yeah." Shui Ling nodded, but he didn't know that the sweetness of the apples attracted a group of birds. They landed on the branches and chatted, as if they were waiting for Shui Ling to throw away the apple core and then eat it.
Shui Ling was speechless and simply poked half an apple on the branch, "Here you go."
The little birds flew over excitedly and ate one by one. They quickly ate up half of the apple.
Shui Ling giggled, these birds are much cuter than humans.
Shui Zheran saw his daughter happy, and he smiled too. It didn't matter if life was hard or not, as long as she was happy.
The two walked for a while and came to the river. In fact, it was very close to the river.
The river is full of ice, and the water under one foot is still flowing. After all, it is not frozen three feet here.
Shui Ling asked: "Dad, do you want to catch fish?"
