I became the villain's deceased wife

It was completely dark.

It is the end of February now. The weather is not that cold, but the wind is still a little chilly at night.

There was no moonlight in the sky, and a few stars flickered in the empty night.

Song Tian grabbed Xie Yunzhe's arm and walked carefully along the river.

It’s not that I’m afraid of falling into the water, I’m just a little afraid of the dark.

"Tell me, will mother really take this path?"

In order to build up her courage, she took the initiative to talk to Xie Yunzhe.

Xie Yunzhe was obviously a little depressed and shook his head when he heard this:

"Hard to say……"

If it were in the past, my mother would definitely not have walked on such a muddy path if she was so fond of cleanliness.

But now, when the Xie clan members see them, they will point fingers at them, and they may not say very bad things behind their backs.

Mother doesn't want to listen to their discussions, and might even prefer to take this path rather than meet them.

"Pfft"!

Just as I was about to say something to comfort her, a muffled sound suddenly came from the water, which was particularly terrifying in the quiet evening breeze.

"what!"

Song Tian was so scared that she hugged Xie Yunzhe and her head unconsciously rested on his shoulder.

Xie Yunzhe's body stiffened instantly and he felt a furry head rubbing against his chin.

The anxiety in his heart was somewhat calmed by this sudden action. If he was not worried about Liu's safety, he would have wanted to tease her.

"Don't be afraid, it might just be the fish in the river trying to eat something."

He patted the trembling Song Tian, ​​his tone full of tenderness.

Song Tian reacted and quickly let him go.

"Um... I just accidentally tripped over something."

She didn't want to admit that she was scared.

Xie Yunzhe nodded and didn't argue with her.

"We'll reach the woods in a few steps. Watch your step."

He walked forward, but reached out and grabbed Song Tian's arm.

The mud under their feet gradually turned into solid ground, and they indeed arrived at a small forest.

Only here, it’s even darker!

The ground underfoot is uneven and there are many stones.

Song Tian's arm was clamped by Xie Yunzhe, but she was not as scared as before, but she tripped several times.

"It's not a good idea to go down like this. It's so dark that I can't see anything. Even if mom is really here, I can't find her!"

I really hate this ancient time when there was no electricity and not even a flashlight.

Xie Yunzhe stopped and looked into Song Tian's eyes in the dark:

"Madam, do you have a fire starter?"

A fire starter is essential for making fire and cooking every day.

Some people carry a tinder with them for fear of losing it.

Song Tian was embarrassed, it seemed like she really did!

She usually didn't have a very good memory, and it was easy for her to lose track of things once she put them away. The tinderbox was small and didn't take up much space, so she just stuffed it into her belt.

"Um... I forgot I brought it with me."

She took out a tinder, opened it and blew it light.

It’s all because modern life is too convenient, and she only thinks about the flashlight on her cell phone.

Just when she was worried that Xie Yunzhe, the sinister one, would laugh at her, she saw the man opposite her face darken and shouted in panic to somewhere behind her:

"mother!"

Song Tian looked back in surprise and saw a skinny figure lying in a clearing in the woods not far away.

There were two wooden barrels with soy milk spilled all over the ground.

"mother?"

Song Tian hurried over there.

However, Xie Yunzhe had already run to Liu before her and picked her up.

"Mom, mom! Please wake up and stop scaring your son!"

Xie Yunzhe's voice sounded terrified and helpless.

Song Tian held up a fire stick to shine some light and saw that Liu had her eyes tightly closed and her face was pale and bloodless. There was an obvious bruise on her temple. It was unknown how much blood she had lost. Now the blood had dried up and formed a hideous black and red blood scab.

She subconsciously reached out to feel Liu's breath. It was so faint that it was almost undetectable, but fortunately it was still there.

"Quick, send him to Huichuntang first!"

The nearest clinic is right there.

Xie Yunzhe didn't delay any longer, picked up Liu and walked quickly out of the woods.

Song Tian held up a fire starter to light the way for him and chased after him with one step deep and one step shallow.

"Doctor Liu, please open the door. My mother is injured. Please save her!"

It was late and Huichuntang had already closed.

But Liu's injury was obviously too serious to wait, so Song Tian put out the fire and went forward to knock on the door.

Xie Yunzhe hugged Liu with a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Doctor Liu! Please open the door. I'm Song Tian. Please help me. It's urgent!"

Song Tian knocked on the door harder.

Her parents died when she was very young. She grew up with her grandmother and never felt what maternal love is.

Although Liu was not very kind to her during these days, she could feel her sincere concern.

In her heart, Song Tian already respected her as her mother.

"Doctor Liu, please..."

Just when she knocked for the third time, the door of Huichun Hall finally opened.

Liu Shouren looked puzzled, with rice grains on the corners of his mouth. When he saw Song Tian, ​​he asked in surprise:

"what happened?"

This girl has never called him doctor, and has always addressed him as shopkeeper.

Maybe they privately think that he is just a businessman who is looking for money and profit, rather than a doctor who practices medicine and saves lives.

"Doctor Liu, my mother..."

"Oh, I don't deserve this. Sir, please get up quickly!"

Doctor Liu exclaimed and quickly walked past Song Tian and went out.

Song Tian turned around and saw Xie Yunzhe holding Liu and kneeling upright:

"Doctor Liu, please save my mother."

Xie Yunzhe's eyes were red, and the muscles on his face were trembling slightly because his whole body was tense.

"You are such a great favor, I, Xie Yunzhe, will never forget it!"

Doctor Liu quickly stepped forward to help him up:

"Get up, get up, sir, you get up first."

He glanced at the unconscious Liu and called out to Xie Yunzhe:

"Send him to the inner hall first so that I can check his injuries."

This meant that he had agreed to treat her. Xie Yunzhe did not dare to delay. He took two quick steps and followed Doctor Liu to the inner hall, where he placed Mrs. Liu on the couch reserved for patients.

Song Tian saw Doctor Liu looking left and right as if he was looking for something, and instantly realized that the lights in the pharmacy had been turned off. He was probably looking for a fire starter.

"I'll light the lamp. Doctor Liu, please come and check on my mother."

She quickly opened the fire stick, blew it out, and lit all the lamps in the medicine hall.

Doctor Liu looked at the wound on Liu's forehead and felt her pulse.

"how's it going?"

Xie Yunzhe was a little nervous.

Doctor Liu just closed his eyes and stroked his beard, as if he was thinking about something.

"Liu..."

Xie Yunzhe wanted to ask more, but Song Tian stopped him by holding his shoulder.

Whether it is difficult to say or he is trying to find a solution, it is not appropriate to disturb him now.

Doctor Liu thought for a while, then turned back to the medicine table and took out a small box. He opened it and found a black pill inside.

"This is a rejuvenation pill. It can stabilize the heart meridians and maintain the essence. Even if a person is about to die, it may be able to be rejuvenated and gain time for treatment..."

He stopped here.

Song Tian was anxious:

"Give that piece to my mother!"

But on second thought, Liu Shouren has a stingy personality.

"Don't worry, Doctor Liu. I have no complaints about the price, as long as my mother can be saved."

At worst, she could sell the tofu and stir-fry sauce recipes, and if that was still not enough, she could always sell other recipes.

But Doctor Liu shook his head: "It's not just a matter of money..."

Song Tian was about to ask him if he had any questions when Xie Yunzhe spoke:

"Doctor Liu, just give it a try. No matter what the result is, we won't blame you."

He heard that this medicine might be able to bring back youth, but if it was used, it would be useless. His mother was really...
