59 Looking For Family
Mo Ruyue opened the acupuncture bag. After carefully disinfecting it with alcohol, she confirmed a few acupuncture points with her fingers and then slowly inserted the silver needle. Her fingers twisted and turned, stimulating the old woman’s vital potential by stimulating the acupuncture points.
She then took out a piece of ginseng from her interspace, opened the old woman’s clenched teeth, and put it under her tongue to keep the stimulated vitality alive. Then, she would continue to slowly examine what kind of illness she had.
Mo Ruyue was treating the unconscious old woman on one side, while the babies on the other side were waiting quietly. Even the youngest Tang Tang was not making a fuss. Everyone was staring at the old lady and cheering for her in their hearts.
“Big brother, Grandma will get better, right?”
Si Bao could not help but turn to ask Da Bao. The other babies also turned to look at him.
“She will be fine. Mother is so capable, have you all forgotten?”
Da Bao looked at Mo Ruyue’s back and said firmly with a sense of trust that came from within.
Mo Ruyue, who was busy, did not know that she had quietly become an omnipotent “God” in the hearts of her babies.
Mo Ruyue brought the old woman into the medical room of the mushroom house in her interspace and conducted a careful examination. Although her illness was serious, she had been dragged out and could be cured.
During the examination, Mo Ruyue already had a few treatment plans in mind. When the final examination results came out, she chose the best plan, which could completely cure the old woman’s illness with Chinese medicine, and then took her out of the space.
Because the flow of time inside and outside the space was different, it only took a moment for Mo Ruyue to complete this set of examination procedures and come out. Even if the babies had been staring at this side all the time, no one had noticed that she and the old woman had disappeared and reappeared out of thin air.
After confirming that the old woman’s illness was not contagious, Mo Ruyue lowered the level of protection. She turned to Da Bao and said, “Da Bao, don’t go to see the lassoes today. Bring your brothers and sisters down the mountain first. I’ll carry this old woman down.”
Da Bao also knew that if he brought the old woman with him, he could not check on the condition of the noose. Not only would it be inconvenient, but he would also be a burden in case of an accident.
He did not object to it. Instead, he immediately asked Er Bao and San Bao to take care of Tang Tang and Si Bao while he led the way.
Mo Ruyue bent down and carried the unconscious old woman on her back. Although she was too lazy to save her, she had already promised her babies, so she couldn’t let them down.
Although the group’s teaching inspection ended in a hurry, the babies did not have any complaints. After all, they had begged their mother to save an old grandmother, and this was already very satisfying for them.
After going down the mountain, Mo Ruyue carried the old woman back home. The man who had abandoned the old woman looked very unfamiliar and was not from any family in the village. Naturally, she did not know which family to send the old woman to.
Besides, even if she sent her back now and didn’t quickly give her medicine and treatment, the final result would still be death. It was nothing different than letting her die alone in the deep mountains and forests.
She had already promised the babies that she would save the patient, so she would not ruin her own reputation.
As they went down the mountain early, it was only late in the night when they got home. The sun was still high in the sky, but it was slightly west.
Da Bao was afraid that he would disturb Mo Ruyue’s treatment of the old woman, so he took the other four babies to water the vegetable fields. They also went to the new house to feed the newly bought poultry and livestock.
The babies were not at home, so Mo Ruyue could treat the old woman without any restraint. She still gave the old woman a glucose solution to supplement her nutrition, and then began to look for suitable herbs in the space.
In the past, every time she went into the mountains, she would pay attention to replenishing the herbs that she didn’t have in her space. So now, she had planted many kinds of herbs in the herbal field that she had opened up in her space.
After looking around, she was still missing one herb. Although she could use other herbs to replace it, the effect would be relatively worse.
“I don’t care anymore. I’ll save her life first and change the medicine later.”
Mo Ruyue was actually a person with a very strong obsessive-compulsive disorder. She clearly had better medicine but could not use it. This feeling always made her feel uncomfortable all over.
After processing the herbs according to the method in her memory, Mo Ruyue began to quickly prepare the medicine. Of course, this medicine-boiling process could be completed in the medium, which greatly reduced the time needed to boil the medicine.
By the time Da Bao brought the babies back from the new house, the old woman had already drunk the medicine that Mo Ruyue had brewed. Although her complexion was still very bad, it was much better than the lifeless look she had when he first saw her.
“Mother, is Grandmother going to be okay?”
Si Bao stood two steps away from the edge of the kang. “This grandmother was panting more when she was carried down the mountain by Mother. She should be fine, right?”
“Her life is saved for the time being, but she still needs to be observed carefully. It won’t be a short time for her to recover completely.”
Mo Ruyue had fulfilled her promise to her babies. She had saved the woman, but she didn’t promise to keep her in her home until she recovered. So the most important problem now was to find the old woman’s family.
The scariest thing was that the man was not a local, but abandoned the old woman on the way. In that case, she was afraid that the old woman would really fall into his hands. After raising five babies, would she have to take care of the old woman in the future?
Mo Ruyue boasted that she couldn’t do this kind of saintly behavior. It was already giving face to the babies that she had saved her. It was impossible to feed her.
She didn’t expect that when she was thinking about how to find a relative for the old woman, Da Bao would send her a timely rain.
“We met the man who abandoned his mother on our way back from the new house.”
“What? You guys saw him? You’re sure it’s that person?”
Mo Ruyue immediately became spirited. This was what it meant to wear out iron shoes in a long search for something and find it without any effort.
“Yes, that person went to the Sixth Uncle’s house in the east of the village. There was an ox cart parked at the door. I don’t know if he was a passerby who came to stay or to visit relatives.”
Er Bao added.
When they were in the mountains, they had firmly remembered that man’s face. There was no way they had seen it wrong!
“That’s good. Let’s make a trip to Sixth Uncle’s house. If he’s really a passer-by, we won’t even know when he’s gone. We can’t send him home then.”
Mo Ruyue immediately stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, she turned back and said to Da Bao, “Carry this old woman on your back and head to the new residence. I’ll go and put on the carriage first. When the time comes, I’ll personally deliver her to the door, so that he won’t deny it.”
Since the man could choose to throw the old woman into the mountain to wait for death, he could do anything. Even if the man could not be found guilty of abandoning the old woman, he would inevitably be criticized. So, if he came to the door at that time, it would be easy to be blamed.
She was used to seeing the evil in human nature, so she was naturally not afraid to use the greatest malice to speculate the human heart.
