Du Jun's mother turned to look at Du Jun. She nodded when she saw Du Jun. Suddenly she slapped her thigh and said, "Oops, I forgot to tell you, this river is not underwater!"
After hearing her words, Du Jun and Xia Ziying were stunned at the same time. They were almost curious about why she couldn't get out of the river. Is there any problem here?
"Mom, just say it clearly if you have anything to say. Don't be so surprised. Look, Miss Xia's face has turned pale because of you. If you continue like this, I'm afraid she will get sick." Du Jun saw Xia Ziying.
He said with a little panic.
Du Junniang motioned for them to sit down, and then she also sat down and said, "Jun'er, do you know why no one has been in this river for so many years? Maybe you don't remember how your father died.
When you were young, your father jumped into the river just for fun, and after he came back, he passed away quietly within a few days. After that, several people had the same symptoms, but your mother did not.
I'm just being alarmist, and I don't want to lose you. You are the last root of the Du family. If I really lose you, how will your mother explain to your father under the circumstances?"
"Then why didn't you tell me?" Du Jun asked in confusion. Why didn't you tell others about such a big thing? If someone didn't know about it and got into the river, he would be in trouble.
"We old people already know this. We don't want to tell you this scary thing. We are just afraid that you will become more curious because of this matter. So this river has always made up a very scary thing.
Legend has it that every year, we have to offer sacrifices to the river god. You should understand these Jun'er?" Du Junniang asked a little gaffefully.
"Yes, there is such a thing. I have also heard of this legend, but I have never taken it to heart. After so many years, I haven't seen anything happen to anyone, so I don't take it seriously. Maybe those are just rumors. Now listen to what you say, mother.
, then have we been infected with the river god? Will he seek our lives?" Du Jun asked a little worriedly.
Xia Ziying didn't believe it was the river god who was causing trouble at all, and immediately asked: "Auntie, can you tell me what Du Jun's father looked like when he died?"
"Well..., well, it was one night. Dad Du Jun said he was too bored, so he went to the river outside the village. When he came back, he was fine. But in the middle of the night, the symptoms appeared. At that time
The situation was so terrible that I can’t even describe it. First, I had a fever all over my body, and the fever never went away. No matter how much the doctor prescribed medicine, there was nothing that could be done. In the end, I was burned to death." Du Junniang said while sobbing.
When she heard this, Xia Ziying was shocked. Although she didn't believe this was a fact, it was a fact that happened after all. If it was according to what she said, there must be something in the water, taking advantage of the person to go down the river.
When it got into the body, it would cause a series of symptoms. If this was the case, I and Du Jun should not have been infected with this bacterial organism when they went into the river. In order to avoid the tragedy, we should take action as soon as possible
prepare for.
I had learned about survival skills in the wild when I was in the SWAT team. I knew that boiled vinegar can sterilize. If there are really bacteria in the river, the vinegar should be able to kill them. When I thought of this, I turned to Du Jun.
He said to his mother, "I have a way. Let's try it. Maybe we can avoid this disaster."
"What method?" They asked in surprise at the same time. What they didn't expect was that this new girl would be so sure that she had a method, and they all asked in surprise.
"Auntie, is there jealousy in your family?" Xia Ziying asked.
"Jealous? Well, we have plenty at home." Du Junniang looked confused, why did she suddenly think of asking about jealousy?
"Okay, that's good. I'll find a way to get more vinegar. Then prepare two bathtubs and put the vinegar in the pot to boil." Xia Ziying said with a serious face.
"Girl, is this really possible?" Du Junniang asked curiously with a puzzled look on her face.
"Auntie, according to what you said, as long as we go into the river, we will definitely die. Then why don't we kill the horse and become a living horse doctor? Maybe we can survive this ordeal. Then doesn't the Du family have hope again?
, you have also given an explanation to Du Jun's father." What Xia Ziying said was reasonable, Du Jun's mother nodded repeatedly, and then ordered Du Jun to get the barrel and borrow some vinegar from other people's houses. Since this thing can
If it is useful, the more the merrier.
"Auntie, don't worry, we will be fine." After saying that, she sat down under the stove and started lighting the fire to make vinegar. Xia Ziying hit the stove several times, but it didn't start the fire again.
Seeing this, Du Jun's mother asked her to come out. Her eager character could not tolerate any delay, and she lit the fire in a few moments. Xia Ziying did not hesitate and poured all the vinegar into the pot. After a while, Du Jun came back.
He held two buckets of vinegar in his hand and poured them all in.
Then she followed the instructions and found a bathtub. One was placed in the inner room of the house, and the other was placed in the outer room. After a while, the vinegar had boiled, and Xia Ziying scooped out two large bowls and placed them on the table.
Above, he said to Du Jun, "Wait a minute, you and I each have a bowl and drink all of this." Du Jun didn't know if this would have any effect, but now he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse, so maybe he did
There is still a glimmer of hope, just waiting for a miracle to happen.
After cooking the vinegar, they followed Xia Ziying's instructions and poured it into the two bathtubs. Looking at the two bowls of vinegar on the table, Xia Ziying and Du Jun frowned at the same time, but in order to save their lives, they had no choice but to give it a try.
The two looked at each other, then picked up the vinegar and drank it in large gulps. They heard a sound like drinking water, and in a moment they poured two bowls of vinegar into their stomachs.
After finishing the drink, Xia Ziying walked into the back room, gently took off her clothes, her smooth skin shone a little in the dim room, lightly undressed her clothes, and then walked into the tub.
Vinegar is extremely volatile, and an irrepressible smell of vinegar suddenly penetrated the nose and spread directly to the body.
In order to survive, I could only endure the pain at this moment, so I wiped my body with vinegar, and vinegared my lower body vigorously. Vinegar is a sterilizing agent, let's give it a try.
After taking a bath for half an hour, this was perhaps the most unforgettable bath that Xia Ziying had ever taken in her life. After washing and wrapping herself in clothes, she suddenly felt like her whole body had been drained, and her body was very sleepy.
My whole body is weak.
After getting dressed, he walked out and looked at Du Jun, who was still soaking in the tub. He had his eyes closed tightly, as if he was struggling for something. Du Jun's mother on the side looked worriedly at her distressed son.
.
Seeing Xia Ziying come out, she quickly walked over and asked: "Miss Xia, how do you feel now?"
Xia Ziying smiled reluctantly and said: "My whole body is weak, as if it has been drained dry. This may prove that it has really had some effect. I hope it will have an effect."
Hearing what she said, Du Junniang patted her chest with relief and said, "That's good. I'm still worried about you. Look at my Jun'er. He's been sweating all the time. I don't know how he feels."
"Don't worry, I'm fine as a woman, and I think he will be fine too." After saying that, he walked out and came outside. After inhaling the smell of vinegar for so long, his nerves were already numb.
It's better to get some fresh air.
After a while, Du Jun also came out, but he was even more different from Xia Ziying. When he came out, he was out of breath and extremely weak. He didn't know if it was because of bacteria.
As a result, there may be body differences between men and women, and the final results will be different.
Du Jun's mother took care of him. Xia Ziying recovered a little and her body got much better. She began to cook a few eggs for Du Jun on the stove. When they were served in front of them, Du Jun's face was full of gratitude, and Du Jun's mother was even more excited.
, I really didn’t expect Xia Ziying to be so considerate, she is such a good girl. Seeing Du Jun eating the whole egg, Xia Ziying packed it up and prepared to take it to the kitchen to clean up. When she just walked outside,
Then I heard voices inside.
Du Junniang happily covered her mouth and whispered to Du Jun: "I said Jun'er, you are very lucky. This girl Xiaoxia is really good. You have to catch it. If there is anything,
What's wrong, I have to peel you off. You are such an old man and you haven't married yet. Look at this village. For an adult like you, all the children are running around on the ground. But you are still a bachelor.
.How can you reassure me?"
Du Jun was already weak. He just ate some eggs and breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard his mother nagging about this matter again, he naturally felt repulsed. The two of them quickly covered their ears with quilts.
, said: "Mom, I understand, please don't talk about this anymore, okay? Miss Xia is from the city. Maybe she has already made a marriage promise at home, and her conversation doesn't look like that."
How can he be willing to be a child from an ordinary family in a poor mountainous area like ours?" As he spoke, Du Jun reluctantly took his pillow from his mother's hands.
"My child, I also know that what you said may be the truth, but you have to believe a word and touch her with your true feelings. She is still a girl no matter what. As long as you can be cruel, treat her better, and let her treat you
Be grateful. Over time, this will come naturally. What's wrong? I still need to teach you to do these things for my mother. Don't you take the initiative to fight for it? Even if you don't fight for it, you can also ask her if she feels like it.
There really is someone. If there is no one, why don’t you take the daughter-in-law God sent to you? What a silly boy.” After Du Jun’s mother said this, she saw Du Jun’s disgusted look, that is, she stopped talking.
Then he walked out. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell him to make good use of it and not to waste a good marriage.
