Sweet Wife Is Busy Farming-Chapter 6
Snake Swallowing Stone 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄e𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺
Ding Yao walked over and saw the corpse of the Cobra beside Song Yang. After confirming that it was indeed the cobra that had bitten Song Yang, she patted Song Xiuyan’s arm and gestured, “Ah Ah Ah... Ah Ah Ah...” After gesturing for Song Xiuyan not to worry, she pretended to reach into her arms. In reality, she went to the space and took two flat white stones. These were the snake stones that she had seen in the cobra nest in her previous life. As long as she put these stones in the place where the Cobra had bitten her, she would be able to suck out the Cobra’s venom.
Song Xiuyan saw what Ding Yao was trying to say and was extremely excited. “Really? Is what you said true?!”
Saving people was more important. Ding Yao didn’t explain much to Song Xiuyan and directly placed the white stone on Song Yang’s leg wound. The white stone turned purplish-black and Song Yang’s swollen leg was slowly swelling up..
Song Xiuyan and Ah-jie’s eyes were wide open, and they were pleasantly surprised. Did this mean... Song Yang wouldn’t die?!
Fourth Uncle and Third Uncle were one step slower than Ding Yao. They couldn’t figure out how the two of them couldn’t catch up to an injured little girl like Ding Yao... They walked over and saw the situation here. Ah-jie was so excited that he danced around and explained the function of the stone to them. After Fourth Uncle heard it, he asked in disbelief, “Could this be the legendary snake swallowing the stone?” 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
According to the legend, the Cobra liked to eat stones. The snake’s venom would seep into the stone over a long period of time, making it more effective in absorbing the snake’s venom.
Ding Yao nodded. Fourth Uncle was indeed an elder. He was quite knowledgeable. She handed the stone that had absorbed the snake’s venom to Song Xiuyan and gestured with it again.
Song Xiuyan said, “You’re saying that the two stones have to take turns to absorb the venom. The black and purple stones have to be soaked in water to release the venom before they can be used again? The patient who was bitten by the snake can’t move them easily, so you want us to fetch the water?”
Ding Yao was surprised again. How could Song Xiuyan say what she was thinking every time? Could it be that he had the mind reading ability?
Fourth Uncle was also quite curious. He asked Song Xiuyan directly, “How can you understand the meaning of Yaoyao’s gestures?”
Song Xiuyan explained, “I can read lips.”
Ding Yao instantly felt relieved. As long as he didn’t know how to read her mind, it was fine. If he could read her thoughts, she would have to find a way to stay away from him. However, there was no need for that now. Before her muteness was cured, she could rest assured and let Song Xiuyan be her translator.
Song Xiuyan turned around and was about to go down the mountain to fetch water. Fourth Uncle pulled him back with the demeanor of an elder. “You and Yaoyao stay here. We’ll go get some water.”
Actually, Song Xiuyan wasn’t willing to leave Song Yang at this time. Seeing Fourth Uncle take over the task, he said gratefully, “Then I’ll have to trouble you guys. There’s a wild bamboo forest under the mountain stream. You can cut the bamboo and use it to hold water.”
“Got it.” After Fourth Uncle agreed, he brought his Third Uncle and Ah-jie to the mountain stream to cut the bamboo and turn it into a bamboo tube for carrying water. Song Xiuyan didn’t stay idle either. He used tools to dig a small pit at the side and picked a few large leaves to cover the bottom, so that the water wouldn’t quickly seep into the soil.
Ding Yao gave Song Xiuyan a thumbs up from the side. As expected of a person who grew up in the mountains. He knew how to use materials on the spot and turn waste into treasure!
Song Xiuyan saw the movement of Ding Yao’s lips clearly and raised his eyebrows without batting an eyelid. An eighteen-year-old girl actually called a twenty-year-old man like him a child? What a strange feeling. However, this wasn’t the time to pursue this matter. He lowered his head to check the wound on Song Yang’s leg and saw that the new stone on the wound was slowly turning black, and Song Yang’s leg was no longer swollen.
At this moment, Song Yang, who was already unconscious, slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Song Xiuyan’s well-defined profile, he muttered to himself, “Brother... am I not already dead? How can I still see you?”
When he saw Song Yang wake up, Song Xiuyan was extremely excited. “No, you’re not dead. You’re saved!”
Song Yang widened his eyes. “What?! Who saved me?” Didn’t they say that being bitten by a Cobra meant certain death? Where did youfind such a powerful doctor?!
Song Xiuyan hesitated for a moment before saying, “It’s Ding Yao. Your sister-in-law saved you.” At this moment, he admitted his marriage to Ding Yao. He also admitted that Ding Yao was his wife. Eeven though Ding Yao was a mute, he still acknowledged her.
Ding Yao subconsciously cried out. What sister-in-law?! What wife?! She hadn’t agreed yet!
