Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

chapter 115

Liu Sisi's face was deathly pale, and suddenly she felt her eyes unbelievably dry. She couldn't help but squat down and stretch out her trembling hand to pick up the shattered tiles on the ground.

Unintentionally, a sharp tile cut through her tender palm, and fresh blood immediately dripped from her fingertips.

The vibrant red drops on the white tiles were so enchanting and dazzling!

Ye Lei, Ye Lei, where are you?

I don't believe it, I absolutely won't believe it! You couldn't have done that, I know you're not a murderer!

"Mom, mom, why are you crying? Does your wound hurt? Let YingEr blow on it for you, it won't hurt if I blow on it."

YingEr's exclamation awakened Liu Sisi, and with her uninjured hand, she casually wiped her face, feeling a handful of wetness.

Had she truly cried?

"No! Mom didn't cry, it's just that mom's hand hurts too much, and the tears couldn't hold back, that's why they're flowing out. YingEr, why don't you blow on mom's hand so her hand won't ache anymore." Liu Sisi forced a smile, and with her uninjured hand she wiped her face, but she couldn't stop the gushing tears.

Blood poured from her fingers, staining the ground. Whether it was blood or tears, she couldn't tell through her blurry vision.

The pain in her fingers couldn't compare to the heartache, so much that the tears in her eyes could no longer be restrained, and they uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks.

"There's so much blood; what should we do, Mom?"

She tried to press down on it, but the blood still flowed through her fingers, gushing it onto the ground.

YingEr also came to help, but it was of no use.

Frightened, she cried out, "Mom! What should we do? So much blood... I don't want mom to die!"

"Don't worry! YingEr, don't cry. Quickly go behind the door and find a few clean spider webs for mom. Xuan'er, you go help mom find a few cloth strips. Be careful, the tiles on the ground are sharp; don't step on them!" Liu Sisi commanded the two children methodically.

Di Xuan's face was also deadly pale!

In his eyes, the scene of his mother lying in a pool of blood and dying during his childhood emerged again...

Hearing Liu Sisi's instructions at this moment, he didn't say a word and ran out of the kitchen.

Although Di Ying was young, he immediately wiped away his tears and began searching for spider webs.

Dark corners of the adobe walls in rural areas were prone to spiders, which built their nets on the walls. The nets were no larger than the size of a thumb, filled with the spider's eggs, and usually two layers.

Directly tearing it off the wall and peeling away the outer layer, the clean side should be placed on the wound.

The fine membrane not only effectively stops bleeding, but also prevents tetanus and wound infection. It's an economical and practical material.

Liu Sisi applied seven or eight spider webs to the large, deep wound, then tightly wrapped it with cloth strips, layer upon layer, finally managing to stop the bleeding.

"Mom, you'll be fine."

YingEr said pitifully, tightly clutching Liu Sisi's clothes, afraid that she would really leave because of this.

"YingEr, don't be afraid, see mom's fine now, isn't she? Good, ah!"

With her uninjured right hand, she tightly hugged YingEr and gently patted Di Xuan, who was squatting beside her. Liu Sisi comforted the two children who were frightened.
