Chapter 19
Expressing Gratefulness
The Wang Family members could not walk anymore. They originally thought that their legs would be sore, but when they were done, they realized that their bodies were even lighter than before. Ah Yu was already worried sick and kept asking Meatball if there was anything wrong.
“Elf, Elf, did I do something wrong?”
“Elf, will they get sick?”
Meatball replied repeatedly, “They’re fine. It’s just that there are too much impurities in their bodies. They’re too weak to be nourished. They’ll be fine after they’re done letting everything out.”
The first time the child had drunk the spirit water, she had also had diarrhea. However, she was young and had few impurities, so her diarrhea was not serious.
She had completely forgotten that she had diarrhea too.
Moreover, the Myriad Spirit Water was not a laxative. Her stomach did not hurt when she went to the toilet. Instead, the process was quite smooth.
It was just that the Wang Family had run off to the toilet too many times and their legs were numb.
Old Madam Wang was old after all. After two rounds of diarrhea, she couldn’t take it anymore. She leaned against the wall and muttered, “Could it be that the sweet potatoes weren’t cooked thoroughly?”
Although she said that, she did not think so.
Sweet potatoes could be eaten raw, so there was no reason for her to have diarrhea.
The women were also a little tired. But it was not from diarrhea. They were simply tired from squatting.
Old Madam Wang was about to stand up when her hand was grabbed.
Little Ah Yu opened her right hand. On it lay a red fruit the size of a fingernail.
“Grandma, eat.” Little Ah Yu patted her stomach and said, “Your stomach won’t hurt anymore.”
She had gotten this from Meatball. It said that after eating it, the diarrhea will be cured.
Ah Yu knew that if she had diarrhea, she would have a stomach ache and have to squat for a long time.
Old Madam Wang did not take it. “Good child, where did you get it from? You can’t eat the fruits outside.”
“It’s… from the elf.” Ah Yu shook her head. It wasn’t from the outside. The elf was very unwilling to take it out and said it was very precious.
However, she did not want Grandma to go to the toilet again. The toilet was outside the cave. When she came back from a trip, she would always be so cold that her lips would turn purple and her body would tremble.
Grandma would not be able to take it.
In the end, Old Madam Wang did not eat it. She did not know what an elf was, but she knew that it must have been obtained by the child.
Perhaps it was really something very good. She was an old woman, and good food was a waste on her.
“I’ll save it for you.” Seeing that Little Ah Yu insisted on giving it to her, Old Madam Wang agreed to keep it. She wanted to show it to Doctor Hu when he returned.
If it was really something good, she had to help the child keep it well.
Little Ah Yu was so happy that she walked much more briskly.
She secretly observed her family and realized that everyone had only gotten a chill from running to the toilet. However, they were still in good health and had no other problems. She patted her chest and felt relieved.
Alright, I can set my mind and ease. I’ll go and look at the other one person.
The one she saved from the snow.
Hu Xiaotong had never taken care of an unconscious person, let alone someone who had incontinence after waking up.
He could only call the others to help.
After that person woke up, he did not say a word. When everyone found out that he was awake, they thought that he had become paralyzed from his accident. They scrambled to find pants for him to change into.
The men had never done this before and were a little clumsy.
Widow Zhou, who was passing by, could not stand it anymore. She rolled up her sleeves and shouted, “A bunch of rough men. Move aside, I’ll do it!”
She was a widow and had always been valiant. She did not care about the differences between men and women and immediately wanted to take action.
The originally numb person suddenly widened his eyes and pulled up his pants, jumping three feet high.
His face turned completely red, and his voice was almost squeezed out of his teeth. “Wait! I’ll—do it myself.”
Widow Zhou snorted and turned to leave. “If you’re not paralyzed, you should have said so earlier. What a waste of my effort!”
The group of men also looked at this person in disapproval.
Zhang Zhan wished that he had died in the avalanche. He had never suffered so much embarrassment in his life!
As he was thinking angrily, he suddenly saw a cute little girl looking at him. She was like a fairy in a painting.
The little girl opened her big round eyes and asked curiously, “Uncle, did you poop your pants? Don’t you have any pants to change into?”
After Ah Yu asked, she saw that the uncle did not answer her and ran away.
From afar, he could still hear her soft childish voice. “Uncle, don’t be anxious. I’ll ask Grandma if she has pants.”
Zhang Zhan: “!!!”
…Oh lightning, hurry up and strike me to death!
The Wang Family home was relatively close to the cave, and they had moved in the most things, but there were not many clothes they could wear.
Their winter pants were made with two pairs of summer pants and some cotton patched underneath. They were not very warm.
When they heard that the person they saved had dirtied his pants, no one laughed at him. Old Madam Wang pulled off one of Old man Wang’s old pants and another one of Wang Chuangui’s.
Old Madam Wang said, “You’re both lying down all day anyway. It doesn’t matter if you wear one or two pants. This won’t affect you.”
Wang Chuangui: “…” My dear Mother ah!
When Old Madam Wang went to deliver the pants, she specially pulled Little Ah Yu over.
When Zhang Zhan changed his pants, it was the Widow Zhou who brought him hot water and asked him to wash up slightly.
Seeing how he immediately grabbed the basin of water over, Widow Zhou said in disdain, “Do you think I want to wipe it for you? Bah, dream on!”
Strangers the first time, friends the second. Zhang Zhan was already expressionless by now. No one knew if he was still embarrassed.
After changing his pants, Old Madam Wang stood there and did not leave. Zhang Zhan asked, “Old Madam, is there anything else?”
Old Madam Wang said, “You fell down the mountain, right? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with your body. You must be lucky. I’ve never seen someone fall from so high and still be fine.”
Zhang Zhan could not figure out what the old lady meant, but he still said, “I’m indeed lucky. Thank you, everyone.”
He thought that he was dead for sure and did not expect to survive. Other than inexplicably pooping his pants, he was actually unharmed.
No, he even felt that his physical condition was very good. There were no frostbite or injuries from the fall at all. Even the True Qi that he could not use previously was much smoother now.
“You have to thank my granddaughter for this!” Seeing that he appreciated her kindness, Old Madam Wang immediately pushed Ah Yu in front of her and said warmly, “Our Little Ah Yu has been lucky since she was young. Previously, our village didn’t have enough food. She was the one who helped kill a python and everyone had enough to eat. Now that the mountain has collapsed, it’s also her who led everyone away. She was also the one who saved you. Otherwise, no one would know even if you froze to death in there!”
Initially, the old lady thought that it would be best to hide the fact that Little Ah Yu was lucky. The fewer people who knew, the better.
But now, she doesn’t think so. They were starting to eat children outside. Their Ah Yu was so young, and she wasn’t born and raised in the village. If those people from Shanyang Village were forced too hard, who knew if someone would have designs on her?
The human heart was unpredictable!
Old Madam Wang had observed that this outsider was quite good at talking. His figure was straight, and his eyes were like torches. He should know some martial arts. If he had a conscience, he would protect Ah Yu.
Zhang Zhan was stunned.
Wait a minute, let him calm down. He was saved by this little kid in front of him?
Also, this kid could kill pythons?
How big must a python be to be enough for the entire village to eat?
Could this old woman have tricked him?
