Chapter 172 Thin Waist
The operation went smoothly, and the third in command woke up soon after being pushed out.
After waking up, the first thing the third boss said was: "I feel my stomach is much lighter. I felt like there was a pile of shit in it before, but now I finally pulled it out."
Everybody laughed at him.
The Third Master added: "But the place where the surgery was done hurts."
Li Yujiao said: "It's normal. The pain will go away after a few days."
The people on the mountain had never seen an operation and were afraid that the Third In Command would die during the operation, so they all advised Li Yujiao to stay on the mountain for two more days to allow the Third In Command to observe him.
Yu Mei Niang, in particular, kept persuading him, "Sister-in-law, please stay. We haven't had any guests in our village for a long time. Stay and let's talk."
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. Besides, Li Yujiao had no formal job to begin with. All she had to do after going down the mountain was to look after the farmland and deal with drug dealers. So what was wrong with staying in the mountains for two days?
She really likes the atmosphere on the mountain.
There is no formality and everyone, young or old, male or female, is very generous and there is no pressure at all to get along with them.
But Jing Qishan had to go down the mountain. After all, he was a general, and there were many things in the military camp waiting for him to deal with. He could not delay any longer.
He said to the wife of the eldest master, "I will go back first. I will trouble you to take care of my wife. I will send someone to pick her up in two days."
Yu Mei Niang said: "Brother Jing, don't worry. I promise she will be safe on the mountain!"
……
Although Li Yujiao nominally stayed to observe the operation of the Third In Command, the Third In Command did not need her care. She only needed to explain the precautions after the operation.
The third in command's tumor should be benign, and since he is in good health, he recovered very quickly.
So Li Yujiao, led by Yu Mei Niang, wandered around the village.
"Is there a snake in here?" Li Yujiao asked Yu Meiniang.
"Yes, there are big snakes as thick as a bowl. A brother in the village once forgot to close the window when he went to bed at night. The next day he found a big green snake sleeping next to his bed. He was almost scared to death!"
Li Yujiao's heart trembled when she heard this, "Is it so terrible?"
Yu Mei Niang laughed exaggeratedly: "Hahaha, I'm just scaring you. There are snakes, but we often light sulfur incense in our village, and we eat one snake at a time. Have you ever eaten roasted snake meat? The meat is very delicious."
Li Yujiao laughed and said, "I dare not eat it."
Li Yujiao saw a lot of green plants in the mountains. Since she had been picking herbs recently, she paid special attention to whether there were any medicinal herbs here.
She was very surprised when she saw a small grass about the height of a palm with red fruits on it.
"Is this the Blood Rainbow Fruit?" Li Yujiao asked Yu Meiniang.
She remembered that this medicinal herb was mentioned in the medical book given to her by Doctor Fang. It said that it only grew in the deep mountains of the southwest, was very precious, could invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and had miraculous effects on stroke.
Yu Mei Niang didn't know much about these medicinal herbs, so she shook her head and said, "How should I know? Isn't this kind of fruit common?"
"Is there any other place in the village?"
"No, it seems to be around this village."
Li Yujiao said, "I'll pick some."
She planned to pick some, dry them and take them with her in case of emergency.
Seeing how focused Li Yujiao was when picking fruits, Yu Meiniang couldn't help but laugh and said, "No wonder Brother Jing loves you so much. You have a lot of brute force when doing things."
"Really?" Li Yujiao didn't think so. She always thought she was lazy and not focused enough in anything she did.
"Are you asking if he cares about you? Even though I've only known you two days, I can see that he loves you very much. Also, your calm and steady personality is perfect for tough guys like him."
Li Yujiao laughed: "The boss also loves you."
"What does he know? He's just a rough guy. I usually serve him."
"Every couple has a different way of getting along."
After Li Yujiao picked the blood rainbow fruit, she found a lot of Codonopsis pilosula. These medicinal herbs are quite common, and Yu Meiniang and the others also know a little about them.
Yu Mei Niang said, "We have doctors in our village, but they can only treat headaches and fevers. They can't treat anything more serious. Thanks to you for coming, otherwise I don't know how long the third brother's abdominal pain would last."
"I was lucky by accident. I can only treat some difficult and complicated diseases, such as headaches and fevers. I am not good at them yet."
After saying this, the two women burst into laughter.
……
Yu Meiniang took Li Yujiao to other places.
Black Bear Village is like a small tribe. There is even a school building inside. There is a teacher teaching there and there are both male and female students.
Yu Mei Niang said, "I have argued with several heads of the family for a long time about whether to accept female students. Since you advocate equality for all, why can't female students go to school? Besides, even if they go to school every day, at most they can only learn a few words and read a storybook. Their parents are bandits, so how can they go out and take the imperial examination?"
Li Yujiao was amused again, "Sister, you are really great!"
"So you, my sister-in-law, also support girls going to school?"
"Of course I agree."
When Li Yujiao saw the school, she thought of Chun Ge.
After Jing Qishan was promoted to general, they sent a letter and money to Chun Ge, but they have not received a reply from Chun Ge yet, and they don’t know how he is doing now?
……
After touring the village, Yu Meiniang took Li Yujiao to the second wife's room.
Several other wives and young ladies were there. They were very interested in the cloth sent by Jing Qishan and were discussing what style of clothes to make.
Yu Mei Niang's daughter was about thirteen years old. She pointed at the clothes on Li Yu Jiao and said, "I like the one the general's wife is wearing. I have never seen such a beautiful dress in the village."
So everyone surrounded Li Yujiao and observed the style of her skirt.
Li Yujiao said: "My skirt is covered in mud, aren't you afraid of getting it dirty?"
"What are you afraid of? The mud on the general's wife is fragrant."
The sisters burst into laughter.
Li Yujiao said, "Why don't you find me some clean clothes to change into, and I'll take off this one for you to see?"
This was exactly what they wanted, so the second lady immediately brought a set of clothes for Li Yujiao to change into, and then they took Li Yujiao's clothes to look at them.
"The cutting is really clever, the waist is gathered just right, no wonder it makes the waist look so thin."
"No wonder General Jing loves his wife so much. She has such a thin waist. Who wouldn't want to touch it?"
"Third Madam, you should also quickly get dressed. When your man is able to get out of bed, let him love you."
"..."Everyone laughed again. The young girls were inexperienced and their faces turned red with embarrassment.
When they finally decided on the style and measured their waists, someone came in and reported, "Madam, the Seventh Master said he had some roasted pheasants and wanted everyone to try them."
"Hey, doesn't Lao Qi usually eat the pheasants he kills secretly? Why is he bringing them back to us now?"
"Maybe it's because my brother and sister-in-law are here, so I'm just being a good host."
"Then don't be polite to him, just bring it in and eat it."
