Song Xixi was seriously injured. Not only did she have four broken ribs, her lungs were damaged, but her right arm was also severely fractured. Fortunately, the broken ribs did not puncture any organs.
He Hong is good at bone-setting, and he reattached her right arm himself, with full confidence that there will be no sequelae. The four broken ribs were also treated accordingly, and she will be able to recover as before after a good rest.
After seeing Song Xixi drink the broth and wound medicine with his own eyes, the Song family and the Niu family went out with confidence. He Hong also left the Song family and returned to the small courtyard in the back mountain amidst their thanks.
Zhao Minglang stayed behind, sitting by the bed and talking to Song Xixi to relieve his boredom.
The three dogs were also lying beside the bed, refusing to leave even half a step, so Song Xixi could only let them go.
"Xixi, you are so awesome, you actually killed an adult tiger by yourself!" Zhao Mingliang looked at Song Xixi with admiration, and no longer knew how to express his admiration for her in words.
As he spoke, he felt deeply regretful that he had not been able to see the bloody scene of this battle between man and tiger.
Yesterday, he and two guards followed the pole and chased him. However, the mountain road was difficult and the pole ran very fast. It didn't take long for them to lose track of him.
Well aware of the dangers of the mountain, they did not dare to rush in, so they had to stay where they were and wait. However, they saw the wolf pack dispatched en masse to escort Song Xixi down the mountain.
Song Xixi adjusted her body with difficulty to make herself lie down more comfortably: "If the wolves hadn't consumed the tiger's energy in advance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back alive this time."
At this point, she asked: "Among the wolves that were sent back to me yesterday, was there a female wolf with an injured forelimb? That was the 250-year-old wolf's wife, and she was the main force fighting the tiger."
Zhao Mingliang shook his head: "I didn't see it. Since it was injured, it probably didn't follow it."
After listening to this, Song Xixi was a little worried about the injury of a tuft of hair.
Its leg was so seriously injured that it was almost impossible to recover without external intervention. Now she was lying on the bed unable to move, and there was no way she could go up the mountain to help her.
Zhao Mingliang didn't know what Song Xixi was thinking, so he said excitedly: "I asked someone to carry that tiger down the mountain. If you don't want it, can you sell it to me?"
Song Xixi nodded: "If you want it, just take it."
Zhao Mingliang smiled and said: "The tiger you risked half your life to kill, I can't get it from you in vain, how about two thousand taels?"
Song Xixi didn't know the tiger's price either. Seeing him asking for two thousand taels of silver, she couldn't help but be curious: "Is the tiger so valuable?"
Zhao Mingliang explained: "Tiger's body is full of treasures, its fur is valuable, tiger bones and tiger whips are all good things that can be used as medicine, but tigers are rare and powerful in combat. Most people will only die if they encounter them. It is rare to see them in the world.
tiger."
Therefore, tigers are marketable but priceless. There are more than one or two rich people who want to buy tigers, but few people have the opportunity to buy them.
After hearing this, Song Xixi joked: "No wonder you are obsessed with hunting tigers. If you catch this, it won't be worth the money. Your reputation as Zhao Mingliang is indeed powerful in Huai'an Mansion."
Zhao Mingliang waved his hands with a look of fear on his face: "Before, I was not afraid of those who didn't know, but now you are almost killed by a tiger. How can I dare to think of hunting a tiger? Do I think my life is too long?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's you. If word spreads about killing a tiger at the age of nine, not to mention our Huai'an Prefecture, I'm afraid that your name will be heard in several surrounding prefectures!"
Song Xixi frowned, feeling very distressed: "I don't want such a reputation at all."
The first time she and Erbai Wu worked for the government, they caught Luda and other eighteen evil thieves, which attracted countless onlookers. At that time, she was forced to run up the mountain with Er Baiwu.
The killing of the tiger was even more sensational this time, and there was also a pack of wolves escorting her down the mountain. No matter what happened, it was enough to attract people's attention. She could imagine how lively the house would be next.
Right now, she was still injured and couldn't move around. She couldn't dig into the mountain like last time.
Zhao Mingliang saw his partner's distress and took the opportunity to suggest: "Why don't you go to my house? Even if others know about it, they won't break into my house at will."
Song Xixi accepted his kindness and declined his proposal: "It's not appropriate to move now. I really need to go elsewhere to recuperate. My house in the city is not bad."
Zhao Minglang knew her temperament, and he couldn't force her if she didn't like it.
Not long after, a group of tiger watchers came to the Song family. They were all from three nearby villages. They heard that the tiger that was killed was in the Song family, so they came in groups to see what the tiger looked like and to pay attention to Song Xixi.
Injury.
The Song family did not want anyone to disturb Song Xixi's recovery, so they all went to the yard to entertain them and did not let them enter the house.
Even so, bursts of noise spread into the room, and Song Xixi was still unable to sleep due to the noise.
Zhao Mingliang, who originally wanted to leave in the afternoon, took a look and hurriedly left the Song family with the guards and the tiger, saying that he would come to visit Song Xixi in two days.
With no more tigers to visit, the number of people coming to watch the fun dropped sharply, and everyone in the Song family breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Xixi also breathed a sigh of relief, but this breath was relieved too early.
The next morning, she leaned on the big soft quilt and was happily fed by her grandma to make milky white fish soup. Song Cai and Niu Hua'er came in menacingly.
When she saw Song Xixi's half-disabled condition, Niu Hua'er became furious. She took off her shoes and said to her head: "You careless thing, why did you promise me last time? How long ago?
Just make me behave like this!"
Song Cai said angrily: "You don't listen to anything, you just know how to fool people, and you deserve a severe beating!"
Song Xixi didn't expect that they would come back suddenly. She choked on the fish soup in shock, and immediately coughed heartbreakingly: "No, cough cough, I didn't, cough cough, mother, I know I was wrong, cough cough..."
This cough instantly affected the damaged lungs. His face, which had regained some color, turned pale again, as if he was going to die at any moment.
This look frightened Niu Hua'er and Song Cai. They threw themselves on the bed softly and said to her, "What's wrong with you, dear? You're scaring us!"
Zhu Sanyu was so angry that she put down the bowl and spoon and slapped them one by one on their backs: "You come back early in the morning and yell at your good baby to beat her and kill her without caring about her injuries. This is how you become a father."
Mother?"
The couple was already blaming themselves, but when they heard my mother-in-law scolding them, they felt extremely guilty.
Song Xixi raised her face, which was full of tears from coughing, and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, cough, cough, it will be fine soon, parents don't have to worry, cough cough..."
When Song Cai Niuhua heard the word "father and mother", his inner worries, anger and self-blame were miraculously healed. He still remembered what he had discussed on the road to give his disobedient daughter a good beating.
