Chapter 88: A Handful of Plant Ash
Chapter 88 A handful of plant ash
"Miss Li, there is no need to send it away."
Shen Yuexi stepped out of the door and said to Li Wan who was following behind:
"You stay in the house to take care of Mrs. Li, and be careful not to let her move or scream, lest the wound bleeds again. I'm leaving now."
Li Wan listened to the snoring coming from behind, with a smile on her face: "Miss Shen, I have to take care of my mother, so I can't accompany you. I'm here to wish you success."
"You are Welcome."
Shen Yuexi was polite as she turned around and walked towards the courtyard door, shaking her hands as she walked.
These two slaps were very satisfying, and my hands were quite painful. They were still a little numb after a quarter of an hour.
Probably because Xiao Zhuo was reluctant to exert any force, she woke up when Mrs. Li and Li Wan knocked on the door and entered the house. At first, she didn't understand their intentions, so she squinted her eyes to observe. Until she saw the two people's expressions were furtive and completely With bad intentions, he decided to strike first.
Mrs. Li is Xiao Zhuo's aunt, and Li Wan is his cousin. With this kind of relationship, it is not appropriate to fall out directly. But just scold them indifferently, maybe they will come back one day to cause trouble. They have to let them I know I'm not someone to be trifled with.
She happened to be still angry with Xiao Zhuo, so she took it out on Mrs. Li's face. The only thing that surprised her was how strong her hand was. Not only did her face become swollen, but her front teeth were also knocked out.
Could it be that my recent running around has made me stronger?
Mrs. Li's mouth was bleeding, and she cried in pain, and Li Wan was helpless. Shen Yuexi couldn't walk, so she had to find ways to help Mrs. Li stop the bleeding, and finally made her sleep.
After delaying for so long, I wonder if the fighting has started at the northern pass now. I hope it's not too late.
Shen Yuexi quickened her pace and ran out of the yard.
Li Wan secretly watched Shen Yuexi leave from the crack of the door, and breathed a long sigh of relief. As soon as she turned around, she saw Mrs. Li lying on the bed, opened her eyes, jumped out of the bed, and went to the window to take a look.
I bet Mrs. Li is pretending to sleep.
"Mom, why are you up?" Li Wan quickly went over to hold Mrs. Li's wrist, "Miss Shen told me to stay in bed and rest. If you move around, you may bleed again!"
My mother's cheeks were swollen and her front teeth were missing. She still had time to think about Shen Yuexi.
"Listen to that bitch's nonsense," Mrs. Li waved her hand and pulled Li Wan's hand away, "She did it on purpose!"
Just now she was lying on the bed, and the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.
If Shen Yuexi was really dreaming, it would be reasonable to grab her hands randomly. As a result, the girl grabbed her collar with her left hand and slapped her with her right hand, which was exactly the same. She obviously knew that she was beside the bed.
She was the Marquis of Pingyang. Before she could get out of the anger she suffered in the capital, she was slapped twice in this remote place. It was simply a great shame and humiliation.
If Shen Yuexi commits a crime below, she still has to smile when she is slapped. This mute suffers the consequences.
The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the angrier she became. When she looked back at Li Wan, she became even angrier.
"Why don't you hiss my daughter? You are heartless! Your mother was beaten, but instead of helping her vent her anger, you are still laughing!"
"Mom, you talk so much that you are running away, and my daughter can't help it..." Li Wan quickly made a serious face, "When mother's injury is healed, we will deal with that girl again, and let her pay back ten times and a hundred times. Monk who can run away I can't escape the temple. Sooner or later I'll kill that girl to vent my anger on my mother."
"This is my good daughter," Mrs. Li sat back at the table, "Peel a pear for my mother to calm the fire."
Li Wan responded, went to the side to get a knife and a half-peeled pear, sat at the table and continued peeling with her head lowered, and advised:
"Mom, my cousin is currently fighting Xirong. Let's not cause any trouble for our cousin. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Why rush to fight that bitch to the death?"
"Nonsense, if she hadn't taken your place, why would you do anything to her?"
Mrs. Li choked her, picked up the mirror and opened her mouth to take a look.
As the Marquis of Pingyang, she often visited noble houses, and she was particularly diligent in taking care of her teeth, which were the front of her family. Now, not only were her cheeks swollen, but one of her upper teeth was missing, and it was still the middle one. How embarrassing. How embarrassing.
Why go out to meet people?
Furious, Mrs. Li raised the mirror high and threw it to the ground.
"I'm so angry. She and I are at odds with each other!"
"Mother, mother, don't be angry," Li Wan quickly handed the peeled pear to Mrs. Li, "eat the pear to calm down."
Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and snatched the pear. In her eyes, this snow-white pear was Shen Yuexi. She hated it as much as she wanted. She took a "click" and bit into half of it.
The taste is sweet and salty.
"Oh, mother!" Li Wan screamed, "your teeth are bleeding again."
"Ah?" Mrs. Li quickly threw away the pear and pressed her fingers on the gap between her front teeth, "Why is it bleeding again?"
She had never experienced this kind of situation and didn't know how to deal with it. Seeing her fingers being stained red by the bleeding blood and falling drop by drop to the ground, she suddenly panicked and reached out to grab Li Wan.
"Take my mother to find Shen Yuexi quickly. If it continues, my mother's blood will dries up."
"What will happen if it bleeds dry?" Li Wan still doesn't understand.
"When the blood dries, my mother will neigh, neigh!"
Hearing what Mrs. Li said was so serious, Li Wan also panicked. Mother and daughter rushed out of the house in a panic and ran along the path in the village.
"Hurry, catch up with Miss Shen, I can't stop the bleeding."
Mrs. Li was extremely frightened when she saw that her clothes were stained red by bits and pieces of blood. She had never had a trace of blood in most of her life. She suddenly had so much blood and was so frightened that she couldn't even think about scolding Shen Yue. What a bitch.
Most of the men in the village have gone to the northern pass, and only a few old people remain in the village. Li Zheng is one of them, leading a few old men to sit under a lantern on the roadside at the north entrance of the village, giving guidance to the villagers.
He saw two women running over like crazy, and didn't know what was happening for a moment. He quickly stood up and said:
"You two, there is a war going on in the north. You women, please don't go there."
"Shen...ah no no, has Mrs. Pei passed by just now?" Li Wan ran out of breath, holding on to her waist and panting.
"Just passed by, she said she was looking for Mr. Pei," Li Zheng looked at Mrs. Li who was covering her mouth, "Madam, what's wrong with your mouth and face?"
"My mother... threw her face against the wall, knocked out her teeth, and kept bleeding. We must find Mrs. Pei!"
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said: "Hey, what do I think it is? I knocked out a tooth and made you two anxious like this. Don't bother Mrs. Pei, I can cure it."
Mrs. Li was overjoyed: "Please straighten your voice and stop my wife's bleeding, quickly!"
"There is a war going on in the north. I know that people will bleed to death in the war, so I have already asked the villagers to burn a large amount of plant ash to apply to wounds. Is this lady a relative of Mr. Pei?"
In his impression, these two people seemed to live in the same courtyard as Mr. Pei. But he was old and couldn't remember clearly.
"My mother is Mr. Pei's aunt."
"Oh, look at my memory, it turns out they are Mr. Pei's family..." Li Zheng said while slowly looking back in the basket.
"Oh, you're so old..." Mrs. Li saw how slow he was, and she almost cursed out of anger. Fortunately, Li Wan pinched her hard, and she immediately woke up and stopped talking.
"Ma'am, don't worry, it's just a missing tooth." Li Zheng grabbed a handful of plant ashes, "Come on, open your mouth...open it wider, the lamp doesn't light up, and I'm old and dazzled...just leave it like this."
A handful of plant ash was slapped on Mrs. Li's face, covering her nose and mouth.
"Sneeze!" Mrs. Li felt that her nose and throat were filled with the smell of alkaline noodles, and a big sneeze sprayed plant ash everywhere.
"Ma'am, don't sneeze. How can you stop the bleeding if you spray it out?"
"Ahem...then give it another try, ahem!"
Li Zheng grabbed another handful of plant ash, but before applying it to Mrs. Li, the ground under his feet suddenly trembled slightly.
Everyone looked to the north.
"Cavalry," Li Zheng stood up tremblingly, "it's the Xirong cavalry here!"
