Chapter 1174: Chapter 1176: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Zhao Datu immediately volunteered, "Shall I go?"

"Forget it, you don’t have to go either," Xia Dabao looked at Tian Xiaobei: "Xiaobei, you should go, your family used to run the Medical Hall, you understand these things better."

"Okay," Tian Xiaobei was inclined to do so, he just didn’t want to compete with Zhao Datu and risk another conflict when they got back.

Tian Xiaobei went to pick herbs and quickly returned with some hemostatic small thistle. He immediately came back and was about to chew them when Zhao Datu stopped him: "Don’t chew, I’ll do it."

Tian Xiaobei looked at Xia Dabao as Xia Dabao took the small thistle from him: "No need for you two, I’ll do it myself, thank you Xiaobei."

However, as soon as Xia Dabao bit into it, she found the taste of the small thistle quite odd, and she nearly gagged. Seeing this, Tian Xiaobei simply chewed it up like he did the night before and applied it on Xia Dabao.

The gauze had also been removed by then, and the wound was indeed torn open by forceful ripping. As Tian Xiaobei carefully applied the medicine, he said, "You should try not to move around too much these few days, and make sure the wound doesn’t get wet, or else it could lead to serious problems like tetanus later."

His tone was like that of a doctor instructing a patient, and Xia Dabao nodded repeatedly before asking the most crucial question, "Do I need to be on a diet? Is there anything I shouldn’t eat?"

"There isn’t anything that you can’t eat, just be careful not to eat anything fried, stir-fried, or grilled," Tian Xiaobei finished the application and tore another piece of cloth from his clothing to bind up her wound.

"Alright..." Xia Dabao felt a little embarrassed.

Zhao Datu watched as the two of them huddled close together and whispered, unable to get a word in, he became so frustrated that he picked up his clothes and stormed off.

After he had left, Zhang Qianqian and Wang San heaved a sigh of relief, glad that he was finally gone. After all, the lychee had been picked by them for him.

Now that Xia Dabao was not supposed to move around, they left Tian Xiaobei to take care of her, while the rest of the children went their separate ways to pick lychee. After a while, they saw Wang San rushing back in panic.

"What’s wrong with you?" Xia Dabao asked, "Did you encounter a snake?"

"No," Wang San gestured for them to keep their voices down, then whispered softly, "Follow me, and don’t make a sound."

Xia Dabao, her curiosity piqued upon hearing this, knew there must be some spectacle to witness.

The children tiptoed over, and once they reached the boundary of the jungle, Wang San signaled everyone to crouch down and crawl forward.

As they got closer, Xia Dabao heard a series of shameful moaning sounds from that direction. That sound...

Though none of them had ever experienced such a thing, they often heard the villagers gossiping about such matters, describing it as a call of joy. Xia Dabao did not previously understand what joy sounded like, but hearing that sound, she instantly comprehended.

Not just her, the others understood as well.

They moved forward a bit more, eager to see who it was. To their surprise, they saw two bodies entwined, the man’s skin dark and slightly plump, the woman’s body pale, a contrast to how the village women usually covered themselves up, making her skin strikingly white.

On closer inspection, Xia Dabao actually recognized the two. The man was Zhao Datu’s father, Uncle Zhao, and the woman was not Auntie Zhao but Widow Chen from the head of the village.

Widow Chen, in her thirties with her husband having died over a decade ago, had an aggressive mother-in-law above her and a fourteen- or fifteen-year-old daughter below her. Usually, she did not have a good reputation in the village, with people saying a widow’s front door is often visited by many men. Xia Dabao had previously not believed it, thinking it was just envy of Widow Chen’s beauty, but now, seeing this, she realized it was true.
