Chapter 396 The Hunter's Little Darling 57
Before a person wakes up, nothing is certain.
Xie Qingyu could only say that things were better this way for now, but no one could say for sure what the final outcome would be.
Some of the people outside were alerted by the commotion and came to investigate, while others were people who had come up the mountain together.
When they heard that Xie Qingyu had someone's wound stitched up, they were all equally incredulous.
But no one could voice any objection.
Normally, life and death are left to fate, but now there's a way to try and fight back a little, because who knows when they might encounter something like this in the future.
After the stitches were done, there was nothing else to worry about; it just depended on whether the person would wake up.
The onlookers had all left, leaving only his wife, mother, and children.
With someone sleeping on the bed, Xie Qingyu couldn't rest.
Under Tu Shen's arrangement, I went with my cousin and stayed at her place for the night.
Before leaving, Xie Qingyu reminded him to wipe him down with cool water if he got a fever in the middle of the night.
However, Xie Qingyu did not sleep soundly.
I went straight home as soon as I woke up in the morning, without thinking about anything else.
Some people arrived even earlier than Xie Qingyu.
In the yard were the game they had hunted down from the mountain last night after bringing the person back—a large and a small wild boar, clearly the culprits behind the injury.
In addition, there were scattered pheasants, rabbits, foxes, and other animals with their legs tied.
However, no one in the courtyard cared about these things; their attention was drawn to the man who had already woken up.
Although the man on the bed looked weak, he was in good spirits and had clearly recovered.
This is simply incredible.
When the innermost wife saw Xie Qingyu return, she immediately went forward.
"Little sister, I really thank you. If it weren't for you... if it weren't for you..." Perhaps because her man had woken up, the woman became sentimental.
"I didn't do anything, it was all your doing." Xie Qingyu had only been talking yesterday.
"That's what you taught me, how could it sew people up? I thought..."
Upon hearing this, the others began to discuss it, and soon someone came up to ask Xie Qingyu how she came up with the idea of stitching up the wound.
"I just like reading some medical books, and they mention this kind of life-saving method, but it is only applicable to serious injuries, and the consequences cannot be guaranteed."
"I didn't know you were also a doctor, Dr. Xie. With you here, we have an extra bit of protection when we go hunting in the mountains."
"I don't know how to treat patients." Xie Qingyu's words were drowned out.
The fact that she had read medical books was already impressive to these people.
After all, there aren't many literate people on the mountain.
There's a doctor on the mountain now; that's really good news.
Everyone was quite happy, even Uncle Tu, who was standing to the side, felt proud to have Xie Qingyu in his family.
The only one who was unhappy was probably Ma Erya, who was mixed in with the crowd.
She came with Shuanzi, and when she heard Xie Qingyu stitching up the wound, she was shocked and immediately followed.
I didn't expect to find out when I got there that she didn't sew it herself. Now it seems she was just using something she saw somewhere to scare people who don't know this method.
After this incident, Xie Qingyu's status on the mountain seemed to have risen a little without her even realizing it.
Previously, Xie Qingyu was referred to as Tu Shen's wife, the blind woman, or the fairy. Now, it seems that everyone tacitly calls her Doctor Xie.
After learning that Xie Qingyu's eyes had healed, their admiration for her grew even stronger. To be able to cure even an eye ailment showed she was indeed quite capable.
There are no doctors on the mountain, and even a minor illness could be fatal, so it is essential to build a good relationship with a doctor like Xie Qingyu.
Now, if Xie Qingyu goes out, anyone she meets on the street might inexplicably come up to her and give her a handful of berries.
This kind of life continued until the weather gradually got colder, and Tu Shen and his group began their descent down the mountain.
Almost all the men on the mountain went down the mountain this time.
The baskets they carried down the mountain were filled with the game they were going to bring down, all of which had been stored for a long time.
Their trip will take two or three days to buy all sorts of things they need for the winter on the mountain, including not only food but also various daily necessities. They need to buy some of the things that cannot be produced on the mountain. They can only come back together after everyone has bought everything.
My cousin has been sleeping with Xie Qingyu again these past few days.
The seeds they planted have sprouted and grown.
This made my cousin admire Xie Qingyu even more.
She never imagined that she would have a sister-in-law who knew medicine and how to grow vegetables.
She's beautiful, gentle, and perfect in every way. If I were a man, I'd want to marry a wife like that.
Of course, when her cousin told Tu Shen about this idea when he returned, she got a flick on the forehead.
Tu Shen brought back even more things this time he went down the mountain. In addition to the things he bought, there were also some things that Sister Qiu asked him to bring back.
Tu Shen met Qiu Jie on the road. Qiu Jie's husband was a peddler who went from street to street and earned enough for them to live on.
So when they met Tu Shen, they asked him to bring something up to Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu was very happy to hear that Sister Qiu was doing well.
The weather on the mountain gets cold very quickly.
Sure enough, the temperature started to drop again shortly after Tu Shen and his group returned.
The temperature changed almost every day, and it didn't take long for the weather to turn completely cold.
Xie Qingyu looked at the sky outside and felt that it would snow in a few days.
Before the snow fell, Tu Shen often went up the mountain to check if any prey had fallen into the traps he had set. Sometimes he would bring Xie Qingyu along to look around in places that were not too dangerous.
The other people on the mountain were doing the same thing; whether they were stockpiling firewood or hunting more game, they were making the most of the time before it snowed.
Although there is no danger nearby, the mountain itself is somewhat dangerous.
When Xie Qingyu returned home with her only prey after a day of wandering in the mountains with Tu Shen, she saw that her doorstep was blocked from afar.
Even before I got close, some impatient people came over to tell me the whole story.
There are people injured.
The one who got hurt was none other than the man Ma Erya married.
Shuanzi slipped and fell while on the mountain. He rolled several times before stopping, and now he can't move his legs.
When this happens, the most likely outcome is that the leg will develop some problems.
However, the leg injury also means that his mobility will be greatly weakened in the future, making it impossible for him to support his family.
That's why I thought of Xie Qingyu.
