Chapter 6 Shen Xue picked up a wild man

Chapter 6 Shen Xue picked up a wild man

It took more than two hours of walking along the mountain road to reach the county town. Shen Shuyu walked into a hidden alley according to his memory, paid ten cents to the gatekeeper, and went to the black market to sell game.

Before entering the black market, Shen Shuyu covered her face with a black headscarf, spoke in a deliberately rough voice, and walked with a limp. She was not worried about being recognized.

As soon as the pheasants and rabbits in the cage were slightly exposed, many people came to ask the price. In a short while, three rabbits and a pheasant were sold.

There was also a hare and a pheasant left in the cage.

Some sharp-eyed people saw the pheasant eggs and mushrooms in the cage and asked Shen Shuyu if she wanted to sell them. She waved her hand and said, "I'm not selling them."

Putting the money in his pocket, Shen Shuyu did not stay in the black market for long and left as fast as he could.

The reason why the black market is called the black market is that it is a place that cannot be seen in the light. If someone is caught here and charged with speculation, then he is almost finished.

After going back and forth, it was already past seven o'clock when Shen Shuyu returned to the Shenjiaba Brigade, and it was getting dark.

Afraid that her grandparents would worry, she quickened her pace and walked home. From a distance she saw a lot of people gathered in three layers outside her house.

"My goodness, tell me what Shen Xue was thinking. She went up the mountain and picked up a man."

"What can I think? That girl is kind-hearted."

"I took a look at that man. He was covered in blood. He was scary. But Shen Xue was really brave. She wasn't scared at all..."

The aunts who were watching the fun were talking a lot. Shen Shuyu knew what had happened at home without asking her. Tsk, the male protagonist was picked up by Shen Xue and taken home. The days that followed would be interesting.

"Hey, Shu Yu is back from playing outside, come in quickly, Shen Xue picked up a man and your grandparents and aunt are so angry that their faces are green."

The aunts made way for Shen Shuyu when they saw her. As for why Shen Shuyu came back so late, none of them asked, where could this girl go? If she didn't have to do any work every day, she would go out to play.

When Shen Shuyu walked into the door of her house, she saw her grandmother whipping Shen Xue with a whip, "What did you say? You picked up a wild man and brought him home to keep him?

You are out of your mind, girl? I asked you to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, but you didn't bring any home. Instead, you picked up a man and brought him back. He was seriously injured. Look at how he breathes in more than he breathes out. And you still want to keep him at home. Are you trying to kill your whole family?"

"Mom, hit her quickly, hit her hard, this girl might think that our Shen family lives too peacefully.

Mother, are you tired of beating me? If you are, let me do it." Second aunt Li Caixia was fanning the flames, and she took over the whip from Old Lady Shen, fearing that her mother-in-law was tired.

Shen Xue was beaten and cried bitterly, looking so fragile that she seemed like she would faint in the next second.

"Oh, mother, second sister-in-law, please don't hit my Xue'er. She didn't do anything bad that would be intolerable to heaven. She just had a kind heart and saved someone..."

Liu Pandi wanted to protect her daughter, but her aunt held her tightly and said, "My third sister-in-law, your good daughter is incredible. She brought a wild man home without saying a word.

This is not the way to do good deeds. If someone is injured, he can be sent to the hospital. Why take him home? This person is so seriously injured. Who knows what he did? Who is he?"

A wild man with unknown origins, what if he is a bad guy?

Just in case...

To put it bluntly, what would happen if he died in the Shen family?

Who can take the responsibility behind this?

Shen Shuyu ignored the others, poured a glass of water for Old Lady Shen, helped her sit down and calmed her down, "Grandma, you have to take care of your health, don't ruin your health because of someone who is not worth it."

Old Mrs. Shen took a sip of water, calmed down, and forced a smile, "My dear, you're back."

This time, Old Lady Shen was really angry about what Shen Xue did. After Shen Shuyu persuaded her for a long time, Old Lady Shen's mood slowly calmed down.

Fearing that the wild man Shen Xue had picked up had really died in Old Shen's house, Old Shen asked his eldest son to ask the village barefoot doctor to come and take a look.

The barefoot doctor examined him carefully and prescribed some emergency medicine. He shook his head and said, "This man was probably injured by a wild boar. His injuries are too severe. I can't treat him. He needs to be sent to the county hospital."

The barefoot doctor also emphasized that the patient had to be delivered tonight, as it would be too late tomorrow.

When she heard that he had to be sent to the county hospital, Li Caixia, the second aunt, said in a loud voice, "What? He has to be sent to the county hospital. Who will pay for it?"

Mrs. Li, who was watching the fun, said, "This person was picked up by your girl Xue."

Who else can pay? Let your Shen family pay!

Li Caixia really wanted to beat this girl to death, as she had brought great trouble to her family. "Old Third's family, this person was picked up by your daughter. You have to figure out how much it costs to go to the hospital. You can't ask your mother to pay from the public purse."

My mother-in-law is the head of the family. Every penny earned by the family must be handed over to her. All the expenses of the family are usually paid from the public fund. My son hasn't married yet, so it's a lot of money to spend.

If she had to spend money on a wild man, Li Caixia would not do it.

No one cared about Li Caixia's words now. Old man Shen was afraid that she had really died in his home, so he hurriedly asked his grandson to borrow a bullock cart from the brigade.

Uncle Shen put the people on the ox cart, and all the men in the Shen family got on the ox cart and drove the cart to the county hospital.

The onlookers went home. Shen Shuyu helped Old Lady Shen back to the house and laid her down. She took out things from the backpack one by one.

"Grandma, look what good stuff I found in the mountains. I was lucky enough to catch a pheasant, a rabbit, a nest of pheasant eggs, and some wild vegetables and mushrooms."

Finally, Shen Shuyu took out two large chicken legs and said, "Grandma, I specially left these chicken legs for you and grandpa to eat."

With so many good things in front of her, Old Lady Shen felt much better. "My sweet baby is sensible, unlike that naughty girl.

Take these pheasants and rabbits to your aunt and let her stir-fry rabbit meat for you tomorrow night.

You eat these two chicken legs. I'm already eating, so I can't eat any more."

Old Mrs. Shen still couldn't bear to eat the chicken leg that her good granddaughter brought back for her.

"Grandma, I roasted a pheasant in the mountains. I'm full. You eat it. If you don't, I'll be angry."

Seeing that Shen Shuyu was about to get angry, Old Lady Shen smiled and said, "Eat."

Except for the two chicken legs, Shen Shuyu took the rest of the things to her aunt-in-law to sort out.

The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the third aunt and Shen Xue were all in the yard. Li Caixia became more and more angry and kept scolding Shen Xue.

The mother and daughter of the third room huddled in the corner pitifully, and one could not tell how aggrieved they looked.

"Aunt, there are pheasants, wild rabbits, pheasant eggs, wild vegetables and mushrooms in the cage. Please put them away."

The second aunt, who was cursing the mother and daughter of the third wife, stopped cursing and took the basket first, saying, "Oh, there are really pheasants, rabbits, and pheasant eggs.

This wild vegetable is so tender. This mushroom looks like it weighs more than three pounds.

I knew that our Shu Yu was a capable person. Look at how many good things he brought back from just a casual trip up the mountain."

There were both pheasants and wild rabbits. Li Caixia was really happy because she would have meat to eat tomorrow night.

After praising Shen Shuyu, Li Caixia also said something to Shen Xue, "Sister-in-law, we are all girls from the Shen family, why are there so many differences? Shuyu can bring back wild chickens and rabbits from the mountains,

Some people can't even bring back a piece of wild vegetable, and they also bring trouble to their families. Why pick up wild men when there are so many other things to pick up? What kind of thing is this?"

Shen Shuyu ignored them and went back to the room to get some clean clothes and take a shower.

Li Caixia really never gets tired. When Shen Shuyu came out of the shower, she was still scolding the mother and daughter of the third room.

"Her second aunt, why are you talking so harshly? My Xue'er didn't do anything wrong. She is just kind and naive, and she is young and inconsiderate."

"Bah, what kindness and innocence, what inconsiderateness, she clearly wants to harm our Shen family. Knowing that she can't bring the wild man back, she even went to ask her uncle's cousin to help carry him back. How could she not do this on purpose?"

This girl didn't call her own cousin, but went to call her uncle's cousin. She knew that her uncle's cousin would listen to her. If she had called her own boys, they would definitely not bring the person home. When seeing an injured person, normal people would want to send the person to the hospital, not bring such a troublesome thing as Shen Xue home.

Shen Xue wiped her tears and said, "Second Aunt, I...I didn't want to harm my family. I just didn't think that much."

"Bah, you damn girl..."

Even with the door closed, Shen Shuyu could still hear their quarrel. She couldn't sleep at this time, so she lit the kerosene lamp and picked up the original owner's high school textbook to pass the time.

Shen Qiu couldn't stay in the room and ran over to find Shen Shuyu, "Sister, are you asleep? Can I come in?"

Shen Shuyu opened the door for Shen Qiu. The girl came in and lay down on her kang, rolling around on it. "Sister, your room smells so good and is so comfortable."

Shen Qiu was very envious of her elder sister for having a separate room. She also wanted to have her own room, but the room at home was not big enough.

She could only share a room with her parents, separated by a curtain.

The area surrounded by the curtain is her private space.

Most of the time when Shen Qiu was at home, he liked to come to her room to play, but Shen Shuyu didn't mind. She still liked this cousin very much. This girl was simple-minded and usually protected her as the eldest cousin.

Shen Shuyu took out two White Rabbit candies from the drawer and gave them to her. "Here, to sweeten your mouth."

When Shen Qiu saw the sugar, her eyes instantly turned into stars, "Hehe, big sister, you are so nice."

The girl was lying on the kang with a candy in her mouth, her chin supported by her hands, her legs swinging back and forth. I told her about the afternoon. "My second sister was absent-minded at work in the afternoon. She was always slacking off. Grandma was upset and asked her to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables.

It was already dinner time, but she hadn't come back from picking wild vegetables yet. Aunt San was still worried about her. Finally, at half past six, she came back with her cousin, who was carrying a bloody man on his back.

The whole family was shocked and they wondered who it was.

After looking around, everyone in my family said they didn't know him. I asked my second sister, but she also said she didn't know. She said she felt sorry for him and wanted to save him.

But what's the point of my second sister carrying him back home? My family doesn't know how to treat him, and the barefoot doctors in the village are not very good either. I don't know what my second sister is thinking."

Shen Qiu felt that what her mother said was quite right, and her second sister seemed to have been kicked in the head by a donkey.

Look how angry she is.

After a day's work, her grandfather and others had to rush to send the patient to the hospital at night, and they didn't know if her body could handle it.

Shen Shuyu thought to herself what could Shen Xue be thinking. Shen Xue and the male lead are the official couple. She traveled through time and was out of the plot. Now that the tool man is gone, the female lead has to pick up the male lead herself.

Shen Shuyu didn't reply to Shen Qiu, but Shen Qiu didn't care. Her elder sister was always like this, as if she didn't care about anything. But it didn't affect her chatting with her elder sister.

After talking about Shen Xue, Shen Qiu started talking about her eldest cousin, "Sister, I saw my eldest brother and Sister Fangfang flirting with each other today. Their faces turned red when they looked at each other. Do you think my eldest brother likes Sister Fangfang?"

The Sister Fangfang that Shen Qiu was referring to was Yang Fangfang, the second daughter of the village party secretary.

Shen Shuyu knew this girl quite well. She was a very quiet girl and had been interested in her elder brother for a long time, but her elder brother was like a fool and had never known about it.

It seems that now she knows, Shen Shuyu smiled and said, "That should be the case, maybe Fangfang will become our sister-in-law."

"It would be great if she could become our sister-in-law. I like Sister Fangfang. Sister Fangfang gave me a cookie when she saw me yesterday."

Shen Qiu is a talkative person. Regardless of whether Shen Shuyu likes to listen or not, he tells Shen Shuyu all the gossip he knows today, such as how someone's daughter-in-law was punished by her mother-in-law again.

The young man from such-and-such family is engaged, how much dowry does the girl's family ask for...

The two sisters were talking one-sidedly. Shen Qiu's lips were dry from talking. Then she remembered to go back to her room to sleep. "Sister, I'm so sleepy. I'm going back to my room first. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Shen Shuyu was also sleepy, so she closed the door, lay down on the kang, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
