Chapter 0002: The Woman Shot

I was filled with doubt, but I did not dwell on it for long. I hurried to the back to retrieve the medicine box, squatted down to examine her wound, and discovered that the bullet inside had not yet been removed

Since it was not my first time accompanying the master to a funeral, I packed things quickly. I was holding a large box, ready to follow the master out, but he took the large box from me himself and said, "You are not allowed to go!" Then he rode off alone on his electric bike towards Uncle Zhang's house.

The woman spoke as she rolled up her pant leg, revealing a wound resembling a small mound, swollen and red, with a hole the size of a little finger in the center, continuously oozing blood. Is this not a gunshot wound

Seeing my master looking serious and even somewhat flustered, I felt puzzled. Isn't it just a woman?

However, the strange thing is that there is a scar on her forehead, which is indeed a wound. This invisible mark has broken her fate, leading to a shortened lifespan. Moreover, in my view, this scar signifies that she will face a calamity during this period

It feels somewhat strange to only be able to manage the store alone

I find it somewhat strange; it is quite difficult to catch this wild rabbit. How could a woman manage to catch it, and moreover, two of them?

The village chief sighed and said, "Old Li, come with me to Old Zhang's house. Old Zhang has died at home, and he was only discovered today. Since we are all from the same village, let's arrange for his burial."

Hurry up and take action. The woman remained unfazed, as if reading from a book.

I was taken aback by these words; the Old Zhang mentioned by the village chief is the Uncle Zhang who came to see me yesterday. How could he have suddenly died?

Then, Aunt, please bear with it

"So who is my mother? The one who gave birth to me and almost left me to freeze to death in the snow, is that my mother?" My eyes turned red

Do you like to eat wild boar? I will bring you a wild boar next time," the woman continued.

My master said coldly

How could a farmer's wife be shot?

In half an hour, I used gauze to dress the woman's gunshot wound, particularly applying the hemostatic and bruise-reducing herbs that my master had gathered from the mountain.

No need, I specifically came to find you; please help me handle this.

I find it somewhat strange; my master is known for his fondness for game meat. Why would he say such a thing today

I can see that the woman has made up her mind, and I can only grit my teeth and nod. I take a small knife from the medicine cabinet, heat it red with a lighter, and prepare to make a small incision in the wound first

Uh ... ... really no need.

The woman stood up and walked straight out. I thought she had gone back, but to my surprise, she came back in carrying two dead wild rabbits.

After the village chief left, the master's expression immediately darkened, "Is it really that ruthless?"

"Do you no longer want my things?" The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, her voice changed somewhat, seemingly a mix of surprise and curiosity

I do not understand what the master means by this; I only heard that Uncle Zhang has passed away. After all, he is from the same village, and I feel somewhat melancholic.

I was stunned for a moment; basically, whenever someone dies in the village, my master would take me along. Why didn't he take me today?

Aunt, the bullet is still inside you, and I don't have any anesthetics here. How about I take you to the hospital

Ah? But my mother...

What is this?

A woman in her forties I stated truthfully

"Eat up, it's not enough. I will bring more over in a while," the woman said as she looked at me

"Xiao Tian, from now on, we will not eat any of the things that are sent over. There are some things we cannot afford to provoke!" My master shook his head and said

Proactively go to the inner room and take out a box containing everything needed for the burial. The location of the burial is quite significant; when a person is born, they enter the world, and when they die, they return to the earth. It is essential to ensure a peaceful resting place, so everything must be done according to the proper procedures.

What kind of robbery could happen at this late hour? I also think I must have seen it wrong

I looked at the woman with some confusion; her facial features were quite unusual. Why do I say this?

Anytime? I was taken aback. Are the wild rabbits on this mountain that easy to catch

She came to let me know that she was fine, and I was overwhelmed with joy, bringing the wild rabbit inside to find my master. However, upon seeing the wild rabbit, my master's expression immediately darkened.

There is nothing on https://m.hetushu.com.com, I have injured my leg, can you help me with it

I am still running the store alone. Today is a cloudy day, and those who know my master's rules would not come, so basically no one came to the store. It was quite peaceful until six o'clock in the evening when a woman walked in

I was taken aback; I had never heard the master speak of her in this way. What on earth happened?

I reached out my hand in an attempt to hold her back, but seeing that she had already walked out, I said nothing further

Early the next morning, my master went to handle the funeral arrangements for Uncle Zhang. I heard that last night, it was Uncle Zhang's niece who kept vigil. It is quite pitiful, really; there is just one more day, and tomorrow he can be buried.

Moreover, who are the things mentioned by the master?

I have never understood why my parents abandoned me. I do not have any inherent defects; I am neither foolish nor physically impaired, and I do not consider myself unattractive.

The woman was dressed in peasant clothing, and her leg seemed to be injured as she limped in.

I was baffled by these words; I am certain that this woman is someone I have met for the first time, and she is not from our village. How could she say that she often sends me gifts?

With a helpless sigh, I looked at the large pool of blood on the ground. I went in to get a mop, wanting to clean this place up, when my master walked in from outside

Since my master has said so, I can only send this wild rabbit, along with the books, to the neighbor Xiaohua's house. I will also stop by the market to buy some vegetables. When I returned, my master was still wearing a stern expression, and I didn't think much of it.

No need, Auntie, please take it back and enjoy it yourself

She is just a beast! Not your mother!

I quickly shook my head, saying that with two large wild rabbits, selling them to a restaurant would fetch at least three to four hundred yuan. I was just tending to the wounds, there was really no need for this.

Aunt, what is this?

It was only after 10 PM that my master returned, still wearing a cold expression. He walked straight over to me and said, "Xiao Tian, I do not permit you to go up the mountain again! Do you understand?"

I felt a sense of admiration in my heart, gently touching the woman's wound with a heated knife, only to find that she remained unfazed. It seemed she was not afraid of pain, which emboldened me.

I hurriedly approached, "Auntie, have you come for a fortune-telling? My master is out, and he does not do fortune-telling in the evening"

It's nothing

Indeed, in the afternoon, the village chief suddenly pushed the door open and entered. My master immediately went to greet him, and I naturally walked over out of curiosity

I have no experience in treating such wounds. By the time the bullet was extracted, there was already a pool of blood on the ground. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have fainted from the pain, but this woman remained silent, her face merely pale.

I can only say this: undergoing bullet extraction without anesthesia is unbearable. Not to mention that she is a woman; even I, as a man, would not be able to withstand it

My master fell silent for a while, and finally just sighed, "Xiao Tian, there are some things that you will understand in the future"

Understand? I will never understand it in my lifetime

I want to eat, and I can grab it anytime

He glanced at the bloodstains on the ground, then quickly sniffed with his nose. His expression changed immediately as he ran towards me, asking, "Xiao Tian, who was here just now?"

There is no麻,醉, or药, I am afraid you...

The woman gave me a deep glance and walked outside without saying a word

Aunt, I just handled it for you briefly; you really don't need to do this.

I said helplessly, usually my master charges only thirty for fortune-telling. If I handle it this way and take two wild rabbits from them, isn't that equivalent to three or four hundred? Won't my master scold me to death?

According to the twelve palaces of physiognomy, this woman's fate palace, which is the forehead, is exceptionally full, and combined with her drooping eyebrows, it is undoubtedly a sign of longevity.

"Go ahead, village chief. I will prepare some things and join you shortly," my master said without any surprise.

After finishing the meal, my master sat in the shop. Today is a sunny day, and someone invited my master to tell fortunes, but my master said he had something to attend to later and would not go. I was puzzled, what could be so important today?

I understand. The woman nodded at me

Moreover, leaving me in the snow, what difference is there from directly strangling me

My master let out a cold laugh: "Women? Hmph, your mother has come to see you!"
