Chapter 42 Sprain

Li Simeng had already collapsed on the ground, and a big brown and gray wolf dog was staring at her in front of her. Obviously, after meeting the wolf dog, he ran away to avoid it, and was followed by the dog's attention. Because Li Simeng's running stimulated the wolf dog's defensive counterattack, the wolf dog kept staring at her still.

Ivanqiu did not pick up the stone like when he met a puppy just now, but picked up the wooden stick on the side of the road and chased after him angrily. The wolfdog did not show any fear. When he slowly retreated, Ivanqiu swung the wooden stick in his hand and waved it hard towards the wolfdog. He only heard a muffled groan. The dog was knocked away and fell heavily on the ground, lifting up the shallow dust. The wolfdog quickly struggled to get up and turned around and hid behind the house in shame. Ivanqiu helped Li Simeng up sitting on the ground, but this time Li Simeng's ankle became more serious than before. Ivanqiu carried Li Simeng to her house without saying a word.

Ivanqiu checked Li Simeng's ankles and frowned and said, "It's all swollen. You have to come to Uncle Xiang to see you, otherwise it will be difficult to recover."

Uncle Xiang was originally a famous local veterinarian. After the reform and opening up, he opened a convenience store. I don’t know when many people went to his house for injections. Many people who came back from injections said that they were very good. Later, he learned some traditional Chinese medicine and other things. He took the broken bones in the village, and it has been spread since then.

"Is anyone here?" Ivanqiu knocked on the door and shouted to the convenience store.

A middle-aged man with a flat head, a pair of glasses, and a white coat came out from inside.

"What's up?"

"Oh, my friend's foot is sprained. I need you to help me. It's very serious and I can't walk."

Uncle Xiang turned around and entered the room, and soon walked out with a medicine box on his back, locked the door of the convenience store and followed behind Ivanqiu.

I soon arrived at Li Simeng's house. Iwanqiu pushed open the door and saw Li Simeng still holding her ankle and hoping to improve.

Uncle Xiang put down the medicine box, checked Li Simeng's ankles, gently pressed Zi's swollen ankles, and then pondered for a moment and said: "It's nothing serious. I'll get the anti-inflammatory injection for a few days and take a rest for a while."

"What about using Chinese medicine?" Li Simeng didn't want to get an injection because she was afraid of pain. When she was a child, her mother Li Wei would take her to get an injection with the most direct method. She would get an injection with one injection. Whether it was a cold, headache, fever, the injection would be effective immediately. But for Li Simeng, a child, it was simply a nightmare. Every time she would make a big fuss, twist her body that was grabbed by adults, and she would not stop struggling until her butt was shot out. Every time she got an injection, her mother would take her to buy candy. At that time, Li Simeng understood it as a "consolation prize!"

Uncle Xiang smiled and replied: "The Chinese medicine has been around for a long time, so you have to take medicine for a while."

This is naturally absolutely absolutely indispensable. Li Simeng hates the taste of Chinese medicine the most. In her consciousness, Chinese medicine is always bitter.

"Then you'd better get an injection."

Uncle Xiang found an injection and potion from the medicine box. After the pumping was done, Li Simeng turned around nervously and turned her back to Uncle Xiang.

"It'll be fine in a while...haha." Uncle Xiang has always comforted people like this. There must be something to say about a profession.

Ivanqiu retreated to the door and looked at the scenery outside the house. Naturally, he could not see any scenery at Li Simeng's home. There were uneven houses around him blocking his view.

"Okay, continue to take the medicine tomorrow. These medicines are divided into one day and one night." Uncle Xiang ordered to pack up the medicine box and walk out.

"That money..." Before Li Simeng finished speaking, she heard Uncle Xiang say lightly: "Don't worry, don't worry, wait until you get it done."

It took half an hour to return home from Li Simeng's house. Ivanqiu thought about some of the scenes that happened today in his mind. Hey, sighed softly. He just felt uncomfortable, and he could have so many things to do if he climbed a mountain. He felt very tired and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

The evening sun shone into the room, on the somewhat dark partition.

“Geeh.”

"Where did you go?" A middle-aged woman's voice turned around outside the house and said to herself something... It's gone... and then she said... Where did she go? It's obvious that she has been looking for this for a long time.

When it is dark, most of the livestock that are stocked outside must be retrieved, especially the chickens and ducks must be kept in cages.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

A rapid knock on the door started.

"Who?" Ivanqiu responded impatiently because of her sleep disturbance.

The door was quickly pushed open.

Ivanqiu lifted up the clothes covering her face. Because it was during the day, she always used clothes to cover her eyes when sleeping to avoid the sunlight coming in in the afternoon.

When I saw that it was my mother Zhao Lilian's previous impatient voice turned into a lazy voice: "Mom, what's the matter?"

"The hen is gone!" Mom said in a discouraged tone.

Ivanqiu jumped out of the bed, frowned and grabbed her shoes and muttered, "How is it possible? It's clear that the day is still fine."

"Is it..."

Mom's tone turned into a question: "What?"

Ivanqiu thought for a moment and immediately replied: "Is it a dog? I'll go out and take a look."

"Ha... are you going to provoke stray dogs today?" Mom followed her and chased her out.

"Come back and tell you..."

Ivanqiu walked around the village but still couldn't find his own hen.

In addition to stray dogs, there are eagles that usually hover in the air. It is often revealed that eagles are catching small things in the village. Ivanqiu is not unfamiliar with this, but in addition, there are weasels, who are also eyeing the chickens who are smaller than it.

I happened to meet Iwanda on the way home.

"What are you looking for?"

"My hen is gone, my mother has been looking for it for a long time."

"No need to look for it. Today someone saw an eagle wandering around your house and probably was taken away."

The hen is not very big, and the local chicken weighs more than one pound or two pounds. It wouldn't be strange if it was taken away by an eagle.

Ivanqiu told her mother Zhao Lilian what she heard.

There are not many hens in the family, and if they are taken away, they have to go out to buy another one.

"You go out on the street tomorrow and buy chicken."

Sure enough, my mother would hand over such errands to herself every time.

"Ah...I won't go." Ivanqiu replied aggrievedly.

"Or you can go to mow the grass tomorrow." In this family, the mother is the best at making division of labor. Even now, the whole family has to follow her arrangements. Even if the married elder brother and second brother, including the older sister-in-law who came in, the mother has always resisted this family by her mother since Ivanqiu's childhood and raised the four brothers. Although the father has more say and prestige in name, he has been willing to obey his mother's arrangements all year round.
