Chapter 25 Not far from death
After a while of fussing, Liu Zhong, Liu Bai and Liu Fei carried Liu Ji into the house.
In front of so many people, Qin Yao couldn't help but let Liu Ji lie down on the ground, so she reluctantly gave him her single bed.
Anyway, she already had a brown mattress and a quilt today, so she didn't care about the straw-covered bed board at all.
Old man Liu sent his grandson Liu Jinbao to ask the barefoot doctor in the village to come over and give Liu Ji a look.
The four Liu Dalang brothers and sisters heard the movement in the yard and dispersed. They opened the door and walked out, looking at Qin Yao first.
"It's okay. The debt has been paid off. Go see your father. I'll unload the goods." After giving instructions, Qin Yao rushed towards the bullock cart still on the bridge.
As a result, when he saw the pig-headed face reflected in the washbasin, he suddenly collapsed and let out a wild scream: "Ah!!"
Second sister-in-law Qiu didn't say anything and just responded.
“Go.” Qin Yao winked at Dalang. Dalang felt relieved when he saw the doctor coming, and took the pork and sent it towards the old house.
Old man Liu was squeezing the dry handkerchief to wipe it with him. When he heard this, he almost couldn't help but slap him in the face.
He happens to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic herbs at home. He usually picks them from the mountains himself, and the price of the medicine is much cheaper than in the pharmacy in town.
Old man Liu's eyes were red, and he said fiercely every word: "Liu Ji, if I hear you mention the word "Heli" again, I will definitely beat you to death and then kill yourself, lest the ancestors of the Liu family blame me for teaching you such a bastard!"
So, he heard all the confrontation between Qin Yao and Lin Erbao, as well as what he said to Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhang behind the house.
Old man Liu kicked Erlang and the twins out and asked them to go to their old house, where they didn't have to worry about their children.
The doctor was about to open his eyelids to take a look, but the sudden opening of his eyes startled the doctor.
Old man Liu turned around in shock. He couldn't believe that Liu Ji had such ungrateful thoughts. He just helped you pay off your debt, and you actually said you wanted to make peace with him?
"I said he's fine, that's fine. You can send the meat over first. There's a doctor here."
"I'll go too!" Liu Jinbao smiled at Qin Yao to express her gratitude for holding him, and immediately turned around to chase Dalang, shouting while chasing:
Qin Yao doesn't care what she does with the meat.
The room is not big, and even the doctor, with ten people standing there, found it difficult to turn around.
The main house was full of people. Qin Yao tidied up the side room where the four Liu Dalang brothers and sisters slept, and asked the coachman to unload their things into this room first.
Liu Ji breathed in the air-conditioning and said with difficulty: "Brother, is my handsome face still okay?"
Qin Yao said coolly: "Liu Ji, you are irritating my ears."
The doctor was surprised to see him like this. Usually when someone is beaten, they don't just hit the face. What did Liu Laosan do to have his face look like a pig's head?
But it was strange, and the wise man didn't ask anything. He just asked the Liu family to send someone to get the medicine with him.
As soon as Qin Yao entered the room, the others automatically moved out of the way.
When he came closer, he saw the pork in Dalang's hand. He trembled all over and his eyes were instantly stuck to the meat. If he wasn't careful, he almost fell to pieces.
Old man Liu sent Liu Zhong and the doctor to get medicine, and asked Zhang and Liu Fei to go home first. Then he asked Qin Yao for a basin to fill with water, and asked Liu Bai to wipe Liu Ji's body.
Mrs. Qiu ignored her sister-in-law and walked towards the old house. Mrs. He saw her and had to follow quickly.
Erlang immediately took the twins and left. He just saw his eldest brother taking a big piece of meat. There will definitely be meat to eat tonight.
Knowing that his father had sold him to a wicked woman like Qin Yao, Liu Ji felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he almost fainted.
Six bags of grain were brought down first, followed by three thick quilts, three thin quilts, three brown mats, two and a half pieces of cotton cloth, and a pile of second-hand clothes and shoes.
“Dalang, wait for me, I'll go with you!”
As for the **** dad lying on the bed, he might as well be kissing a piece of barbecued pork.
The person who was lying motionless on the bed gradually started to tremble when he felt her approach.
It is as full as an oxcart, which makes people greedy.
Finally, there are two pieces of pork weighing ten kilograms.
The coachman watched a debt collection and repayment scene for free, and when he looked at Qin Yao, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
But he didn't talk much at all. Qin Yao asked him to drive the ox cart, and he did it honestly.
However, he still insisted on asking Liu Bai to pick up the washbasin and take a look at him.
Thanks to Qin Yao's quick eyesight and quick hands, he grabbed him and he didn't fall down.
Qin Yao picked up a ten-pound piece of pork and said, "Give it to your aunt and tell her that this is the money for the straw and the money for her to take care of your meals these days."
“By the way, let's make it together with the third child's family.” Zhang suddenly added.
As soon as Qin Yao turned around after handing the money to the driver, she heard the sound of swallowing behind her.
So, when Old Man Liu was about to turn around and go out, he tried his best to grab his father's hand and said with tears in his eyes:
“Dad, I want to make peace with you.”
Qin Yao retreated outside the house and listened to the conversation between the father and son in the house.
“No, I'll go with you. This meat is heavy, so I'll help you get it.”
Just as he was talking, Liu Jinbao had already brought the doctor over in a hurry.
The mutterings that followed caused Zhang to gouge his eyes out with his knife.
“How long have you been caring about your face? Is your face good for eating or drinking?”
The old house has not been divided yet, so no matter who it is given to, it belongs to the three brothers Liu and Bai.
Liu Jigang didn't really faint. He had been around for so many years, and pretending to be faint was his special skill to avoid being beaten.
“No need for you to help me!”
Dalang swallowed his saliva, feeling that this piece of meat was too much, but knowing that the stepmother had her own plans, he glanced at the main house with some worry, "What about my father?"
Old man Liu and others were busy asking Liu Ji how he felt now and whether he felt uncomfortable in any way.
But this face is given to He, the sister-in-law, and I think she will be happier.
Once they saw the meat, no one could take their eyes away.
Qin Yao stood on the slope, looking funny.
He and Qiu looked over frequently, and Zhang snorted coldly: "What are you looking at? It's already so late, don't you? Go home and cook!"
Liu Ji was gasping for air and speechless. His face was covered with wounds. It hurt him terribly if he moved at all. He felt uncomfortable everywhere.
The room became quiet for a moment.
Qin Yao noticed it, glanced at the bed, and let out an unclear snort. Liu Ji, who was lying on the bed pretending to be dead, couldn't control the fear in his heart and opened his eyes.
“Dalang!” Qin Yao shouted into the main room.
Dalang, who was looking at Liu Ji worriedly in the room, heard this and ran out quickly, "Auntie?"
Thinking about the cruel words Qin Yao said to Lin Erbao regardless of his own life or death, Liu Ji felt that he would die in her hands sooner or later.
“Doctor, how is he?”
Liu Ji knew that he was in the wrong, and since his face hurt when he spoke, he did not choke.
Sister-in-law He asked in surprise: "Didn't the third child's family separate? Are they still eating together? Our food is not brought by strong winds."
"What are you doing here? I don't need you to come with me."
Liu Jinbao also accelerated.
“Well, tell me if it feels heavy.” Dalang quickened his pace.
Looking back, suppressing his smile, he walked into the main room.
There are also several large clay pots with lids filled with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, two wooden barrels, two large wooden basins, and some miscellaneous things like sewing pots and bowls.
After reacting, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Just wake up. It looks like it's just a skin injury, it's not a problem. Apply some medicine to reduce the swelling, and just recover for a few days."
Liu Ji dazedly wiped away the spit that flew onto his face, sweating profusely from the pain.
It's over, this time we are really not far from death.
