When Lin Mengya heard what Aunt Lanhua said, there was already a hint of understanding in her eyes.
Although the story of how the two met is ridiculous, it has to be said that for a man of Tie Maolin's temper, Xia Guizhi was able to pinch the opponent's veins.
A small life-saving favor is enough to make two people entangled.
And for a man like Tie Maolin, he would never let a weak woman die.
Therefore, even if he was cruel and ignored the other party at the beginning, he would definitely be caught by the other party later.
It can only be said that the unmarried girl was lucky enough to escape this bloody entanglement. Otherwise, Xia Guizhi would have made the family uneasy, and she might have had some accidents.
Just as the two of them were about to continue talking, they heard a hearty voice shouting, "Mom! Doctor Huo! You are here. Dad has already gone out to see me several times just now. Come here quickly!"
As soon as she heard her eldest daughter-in-law's voice, Aunt Lanhua couldn't stop smiling.
In fact, people on the island get married early. Although she has two sons and two daughters, she is actually less than forty years old.
Moreover, Aunt Lanhua's facial features are very good, and she has the beauty of a Jiangnan water town beauty. Although she is not wearing silk and satin, she can still vaguely see what she looked like when she was young.
Time has taken away her youthful appearance, but her smile is still bright.
Lin Mengya thinks that the people in this family are quite interesting.
When she got along with He Niang and his wife before, she could feel that He Niang came from a very harmonious family. She had an innocence that came from being pampered by her family, but at the same time she was brave and strong.
Aunt Lanhua's eldest daughter-in-law is a beautiful woman with a somewhat exotic appearance, but it can be seen that she is of mixed race.
Lin Mengya remembered that Ma Qinghong mentioned to her that the slave business here was very prosperous. Slaves were not only used to do heavy work, but also many beautiful men and women were used as playthings.
For example, Yaoshan, who was almost exterminated, suffered this disaster because the people there were famous for their beauty.
This has led to the emergence of many mixed-race children.
Although we are not slaves here outside the territory, slaves are the lowest status and can be bullied and trampled upon by everyone.
So much so that their blood was regarded as the dirtiest and most despicable blood, and many mixed-race children were strangled to death at birth.
Their fate will not be very good when they grow up, and most of them will continue to become slaves.
Even if one or two of them are lucky enough to be recognized by their father's side, they will still be ridiculed by others because of their bloodline. They will not have any chance of taking power and will instead become the butt of jokes.
Aunt Lanhua's eldest daughter-in-law was probably sold as a slave.
Fortunately, the person she met was from Xuanhuo Island, otherwise the fate of such a beautiful girl might not be so good.
Aunt Lanhua liked her daughter-in-law very much and introduced with a smile, "Doctor Huo, this is my eldest son Yingniang, this is my eldest son Tie Rushan, that over there is my second son Tie Ruhai, and this is my eldest daughter Sui
mother."
In order to show respect for his distinguished guest, Aunt Lanhua and her whole family went out, and no one was idle. Even He Niang, who was recovering from illness, was in the house to help pick vegetables.
Everyone greeted Lin Mengya one by one. Their eyes looked at Lin Mengya with a little curiosity, but more of them were grateful to her.
Because she not only saved their little sister, but also their father.
This is a great kindness to the people on the island. It can be said that Lin Mengya is their family from now on, and they must respect the benefactor who wants to repay.
But none of their family members were good at speaking. Except for Aunt Lanhua, everyone else just smiled honestly when they saw her, and then continued busy with their work.
However, she could still feel eyes falling on her from time to time. This family was a bit interesting.
Aunt Lanhua and Yingniang quickly brought people into the house. To their surprise, there was no one in the house.
Aunt Lanhua first placed her benefactor on the throne, then lowered her voice and asked Ying Niang, "Where are your father and Xiaoliang?"
Yingniang said with a smile, "My father and my brother-in-law went to Granny Yinghua's place. I heard that someone caught a lot of fresh fish today. I said I wanted my benefactor to eat some fresh fish."
Aunt Lanhua nodded, but still complained, "This old man is too indifferent to his priorities. Why did he leave his benefactor at home and go out to buy things by himself? I will definitely give him some advice when I come back!"
Lin Mengya looked at Aunt Lanhua and knew that these words were definitely not just words.
But, it’s almost dusk now, shouldn’t the fish be caught early in the morning?
However, she didn't ask. Instead, she looked around and found a small gap bulging next to the door curtain of the inner room.
When she looked over, the gap was filled immediately.
Lin Mengya found it interesting. She knew it was He Niang without asking, but she just didn't know why this girl was hiding from her.
So, she suggested to Aunt Lanhua, "I haven't seen it for several days.
He Niang is here, I don’t know how she is recovering, why don’t we take advantage of Uncle Tietou’s absence and give He Niang a look first?”
He Niang continued to be treated on the ship for a few more days, and then she stayed at home to recuperate. Naturally, Aunt Lanhua couldn't refuse Lin Mengya's proposal.
But as soon as she opened the curtain and went in, He Niang rushed over and held her hand.
"What's wrong? Don't worry, but what's wrong with you?" Lin Mengya asked slowly.
Then, I saw a pair of tearful eyes looking at me anxiously.
Only then did Lin Mengya remember.
Well, no wonder the other party didn't dare to come out or talk to me.
It turned out that she had previously ordered her to wrap all her skin with cloth in the past few days, try not to see the wind or the sun, and not to talk or make expressions.
In fact, it was because He Niang's recovery had reached the most critical step, so Lin Mengya used acupuncture and medicine to adjust her skin condition.
Other places are fine, mainly because the face may be disfigured if you are not careful.
So she made strict demands on the other party, but in fact it only needed twenty-four hours. Unexpectedly, it had already been two days, and He Niang was still wrapped up and dared not go out!
At this moment, she had seen the anxiety in the other person's eyes, so she smiled and explained, "I forgot to tell you, in fact, it only takes one day. You should be almost recovered by now. Do you want us to take it apart and take a look?"
He Niang nodded quickly. God knows, she didn't even dare to eat these days, so she could only follow Dr. Huo's will. When she was really hungry, she would stick a straw in a bowl and drink some sugar water or sugar porridge.
In fact, whether she was hungry or not was secondary. She just wanted to see how she had recovered.
But she didn't dare to move unless Doctor Huo came, and she also heard about what happened outside.
After the big monster came ashore, her parents hid her and Xiaoliang in the cellar, so she didn't know what was going on outside.
Fortunately, her parents and the rest of the family were fine, otherwise she would have been anxious to death.
"Okay, then Aunt Lanhua, please bring me a basin of warm water and a pair of scissors."
Aunt Lanhua immediately followed Lin Mengya's words.
Soon, Lin Mengya sprinkled the medicinal powder into the warm water, and then used the medicinal liquid little by little to wet the cloth on He Niang's body.
The cloth in other places was easy to remove, except for the face, when the outer layer of cloth was carefully removed, the inner layer of the mask made of yellow mud was revealed.
This mask is made according to He Niang’s own size, so follow her
The original face is exactly the same.
Only the eyes and nostrils are partially exposed, and even the mouth is covered, leaving only a small hole for inserting a straw.
Aunt Lanhua was also shocked when she saw the yellow mud mask. After all, her daughter was wrapped in cloth when she came back, so she couldn't see clearly.
Now, she felt a little frightened.
Oh my God! What is it like down here? She is a little afraid to look at it now.
Lin Mengya stood up and looked back and forth to make sure there was nothing wrong before she whispered to comfort He Niang.
"Don't be nervous. I'll help you wet this yellow mud mask now, and then we'll take it off piece by piece. You'll be fine, just relax. Now close your eyes."
How could He Niang not be nervous?
However, no matter how nervous she was, she had to take it off. She took a deep breath and felt that she had to face it no matter what. Besides, she had already accepted even the worst outcome.
What's the big deal now?
Lin Mengya poured the potion into the gap bit by bit. Although the ground was covered with water, the mother and daughter did not dislike it. Instead, they both slowed down their breathing.
As the water moistened it little by little, the yellow mud mask slowly peeled off He Niang's face.
After making sure that some of it had softened, Lin Mengya took it down piece by piece.
At the beginning, it was on the forehead, and nothing could be seen. It was taken until it was near the eyes. Aunt Orchid, who was watching closely, covered her mouth.
Oh my God! She, her He Niang, her He Niang are back!
The face with her eyes closed and Doctor Huo peeling it off from the yellow mud mask was none other than He Niang.
Until the last piece of the yellow mud mask was taken off, He Niang did not dare to open her eyes, but Aunt Lanhua almost cried.
Is it easy for her to give birth to a beautiful daughter?
Although the eldest daughter is not bad either, she looks more like her husband when he was young, but this little daughter is completely the younger version of her!
Therefore, the family also takes extra care of this little sister.
However, more than her appearance, she hopes that her little daughter will be healthy.
But Doctor Huo gave them a surprise!
Lin Mengya took out a clean and soft cloth and wiped her face, nodding with satisfaction.
Not bad, recovery is pretty good.
She could say without exaggeration that it was fortunate that the other party met her, otherwise even if he was detoxified, he would not be able to return to his current state.
