"Siya, it's time to get up and take your medicine." Deng Jingu nudged her.

Seeing that her brow was furrowed, she continued, "Don't complain about the pain. You'll only get better after taking some medicine. Do you feel dizzy or something?"

Deng Jingu's voice was like a buzzing fly, making her feel more and more pain in her head.

Lin Anxin looked at the top of the tent, indicating that she felt like the top of the tent was spinning on its own.

Could it be that she really had a fever? She stretched out her right hand and touched her forehead. Err, she just realized that she was unable to feel whether her forehead was hot or not.

"Come on, hurry up and eat some medicine. I'll stealthily cook some rice porridge for you later."

Deng Jingu's thoughts were simple. Lin Anxin was his family, so he should treat her better.

Lin Anxin wanted to thank him, but her mouth moved slightly. As the words reached her mouth, she asked, "Is your father well?"

"Yes, I've already asked the doctor to take a look. My leg is severely injured, so even if I recuperate, I can't be a good man anymore." Deng Jingu helped her up and put the warm medicine bowl into her hands.

Was he about to be crippled? Lin Anxin blinked.

"Doctor? Didn't they send him to Dr. Guo's home? " Lin Anxin knew from memory that there was only Dr. Guo in the vicinity, and in any case, there was only Senior Doctor in the town. However, Senior Doctor's medical skills were the best in the entire Weights Town, and he never went out to diagnose normally.

"Yes, my dad was sent to Dr. Guo's house, but this doctor is not the arrogant Senior Doctor from our town, instead he is here to visit friends with Prefectural City. I heard that this doctor is extremely beneficial and specializes in treating injuries."

Lin Anxin nodded. "Understood, this doctor that came from Prefectural City is a professional orthopedic doctor."

"Your father should be lucky to have met such a good doctor."

Deng Jingu nodded and told Lin Anxin what happened that afternoon.

It turned out that this afternoon, Deng Jingu had come back to call Ji Chunhua to take the silver coins, and then rushed back to Dr. Guo's house. He had just arrived at the village entrance of the Sophora Tree Village and saw that there were a lot of people surrounding Dr. Guo's house from afar. One and two people stretched their necks to look inside, and from time to time they would smack their lips and discuss.

Of course, there were also those who did not recognize Deng Family, and could not help but take joy in this misfortune. Such a person's thoughts were very wrong, and the others had bad luck, as if their family received a huge advantage.

"Aiyo, look, that fierce woman from Deng Family is here."

Ji Chunhua had a bad temper and couldn't help it. She had offended a lot of people in the village.

Some people who were related to their relatives in the Upper Pool Village naturally knew that she was not someone to be trifled with.

When Deng Jingu heard those old ladies speak ill of his mother, his handsome face became even darker.

Although Ji Chunhua's temper wasn't good, she cared for her child wholeheartedly. Deng Jingu naturally couldn't tolerate others talking about this to his mother.

He clenched his fists and wanted to rush up to argue.

Ji Chunhua held out her hand to stop him, "Your tongue grows on someone else's body. If you can control this, can you control that? With just your hands, you can block three to five people, but not a thousand mouths. "

"Quick, take me to see your father."

Ji Chunhua, who was burning with anxiety, had lost all of her fighting spirit. She didn't even spare a glance for those stinking bitches that were provoking her.

Deng Jingu followed Ji Chunhua and made a path through the crowd.

Ji Chunhua didn't have the time to splash mud on her body as she ran into Dr. Guo's living room. In the living room, there was a makeshift bed made up of simple wooden doors.

A person was lying on the bed. Dr. Guo was cleaning the wound with a handkerchief. Beside him was a wooden basin filled with black water. The handkerchief in his hand was also dyed red from wiping the wound.

The red was so bright, the red was so dazzling.

"Dalang, wuu, that carriage driver is really not going to die well. Oh god, you are blind, why don't you let Lei kill that wicked thing? How can you let a person like my Dalang suffer such a disaster. Wuu, Dalang, if something happens to you, how can you leave us three, mother and son, alive?

Ji Chunhua was a typical village woman. Even if she was crying, she was still able to cry in a controlled manner. She was able to cry in all sorts of ways, making the eyes of the onlookers turn red.

"Sigh, the world is getting worse these days. I'm afraid that the pillar of Deng Family is crippled. Sigh, what a sin!"

"Of course. I heard that he was knocked down by a carriage. The horse was frightened and its hooves were smashed into his right calf."

"Poor thing, if it hadn't rained, this road wouldn't have been so easy. It wouldn't have been damaged by the carriage, and it wouldn't have fallen into the water just to avoid the horses."

"Hmph, who can we blame? If he wasn't greedy for that few coins, why would this have happened?"

"… …"

Deng Jingu stood on the stairs at a loss of what to do. Listening to the discussions of these people, his fists were clenched so tight that it seemed like water was about to come out.

"Mother!"

He called out to Ji Chunhua with a heavy voice, calming her down after losing her mind.

"Make way, don't interfere with Dr. Guo's work."

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Mom, where is the dry clothes that I asked you to bring for our dad?"

Before he went home to call Ji Chunhua, Dr. Guo had told him to bring clean clothes for Deng Dalang to change.

It was also because he was afraid that the other party would add new illness to his leg injury before it could even be treated.

Ji Chunhua's hands were trembling as she handed him a small bundle from her bosom.

Deng Jingu took it over and got another basin from Mrs. Guo. After boiling some warm water, he went to wash Deng Dalang's hair clean and asked someone to help him change into a clean set of clothes before wringing his hair dry.

With all this work, Dr. Guo had already treated Deng Dalang's wounds and applied the hemostasis medicine.

"Dalang's blood has been temporarily cured, but I'm afraid that he will have to go to the county city to recover from his injuries."

"What? We have to go to the county?" Dr. Guo, I brought the Drug Money. " Ji Chunhua became more and more uncertain as she listened. She didn't have much money at home, so when she went to the county, she didn't know if she had enough silver with her.

Dr. Guo waved his hand. He had been busy just now and he was getting old, so it became harder and harder to bear.

He said to Ji Chunhua, "I can only treat minor injuries here. I have just seen a leg injury like Dalang, his bones are already fractured. At the very least, we have to go to the county to cure him." Fortunately, your family's Jingu can now shoulder the burden of supporting the family. "

Dr. Guo did not say the rest, but Ji Chunhua and Deng Jingu felt their hearts skip a beat. The meaning of his words was that Deng Dalang's leg was crippled.

"Lord God, you're blind, why do you keep insisting on this? The driver who harmed my Dalang should go to hell and not reincarnate. If such a heavy sin were not reported to him, it would also be reported to his descendants. Wuuu, why am I so unlucky …

Even if Ji Chunhua was scolding him, she had no one to vent her anger on. She just sat there on the threshold, crying and gasping for breath.

Deng Jingu seemed to have grown up and matured. Even though his eyes were red and he was very worried about Deng Dalang, he endured the humiliation and came back to cry with his parents.

"Mother!"

"Jingu, how are the three of us going to live in the future?" "That guy who was hit by a thousand knives, why didn't he get knocked to death by the carriage when he went out?"

Dr. Guo saw a headache coming his way, Old Mrs. Guo could not stand him, so she came forward to persuade Deng Jingu: "You should hurry up and find an oxcart, if you want one with a shed, under the heavy rain, if you don't get to the county city, then people will … Your mother panicked. She didn't have any ideas for a while, so she saw that you're a good kid. Quickly find an oxcart, find a few men and send them to the county. "

As she spoke to here, she thought of something and her eyes flashed. In the end, she bluntly said, "There are too many people, so I'm not afraid of people bullying people."

Those people in the county city looked down on the countryside the most. Even if they were poor, they could still have the idea of ruthlessly trampling on those countryside people.

Deng Jingu had gotten Old Mrs. Guo's idea, calmed himself down, and then put on his rain cape again and rushed towards Upper Pool Village.

Although he knew a few people in the village, their friendship was not good enough to call for help. He just rolled up his sleeves and went to help.

He had to go back to the Upper Pool Village to call for people, and the ox-cart must definitely be shouting from his own village.

At the same time, Deng Jingu was regretting his decision to not go to that village even though the sky wasn't looking too good.

Who knew that since Deng Dalang sold almost all of his goods, he made quite a bit of money today, so he planned to return home early to give the money to his wife to make her happy.

But as soon as he got out of the village, it started to rain. There was a violent storm, and the dirt road became more and more difficult to walk on, which was why he was knocked down by a carriage coming from behind. And because the dirt road was too slippery, he wasn't able to completely avoid the hooves for a while.

Deng Jingu hurried back and just as he arrived at Upper Pool Village's village entrance, he coincidentally met Zhou Changgen who was driving his family's little donkey cart.

Zhou Changgen hurried over after hearing the news of Deng Dalang being injured by the carriage.

"Jingu!"

He parked the donkey cart at the village entrance and was about to go to a nearby house to ask if Deng Dalang was at home or where.

He stopped the donkey cart and got off. He saw a figure running towards him from the locust tree village. The figure looked familiar. As the figure got closer, he realized it was Deng Jingu.

Zhou Changgen shouted at him.

"Uncle!" When Deng Jingu saw his elder, his eyes immediately became watery. In the end, he was still a teenager. When he encountered such a major event, he was actually very scared.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Zhou Changgen stood there with his paper umbrella and a pair of leather clogs on his feet.

"Foolish brat, when you encounter something, do not know if you should send me a letter or not. You only know how to act like a calf and run rampant. Cousin will always see things better than you."

"Uncle!" Deng Jingu shouted again as he choked with sobs. This was a true relative!

He was truly grateful to Zhou Changgen from the bottom of his heart, even if it was just to see his father. This made Deng Jingu feel a lot more reassured. Finally, there was someone who could help out with this matter.
