Chapter 7
Guilt
When Song Yang heard Ding Yao’s voice, he subconsciously looked up and saw that Ding Yao was speechless. He suddenly realized who Ding Yao was. She was the wife that his father had arranged for his big brother before he died! However, he felt a little confused. Wasn’t his big brother dissatisfied with this marriage? Could it be that he had no choice but to admit it because Ding Yao had saved his life?
Song Yang, still immersed in the joy of being alive, shook his head. He happily called out, “Thank you, sister-in-law!”
This call made Ding Yao’s face turn red. She didn’t retort, mainly because it was useless to retort! She pushed Song Xiuyan and motioned for him to bring the water over. Song Xiuyan saw through Ding Yao’s intention and quickly passed the bamboo water bucket to her. Ding Yao took the opportunity to get some spiritual spring water from the space of the medicinal field and mixed it into the bamboo bucket. The spiritual spring water could detoxify all kinds of poisons and help the Snake Swallow Stone to absorb the snake’s poison faster.
After drinking the water, Song Yang felt that his breathing became smoother. He was a cheerful person and knew that he didn’t need to die, so he began to talk more. “Sister-in-law, did you learn your medical skills from your grandfather?”
Ding Yao nodded. This was the best explanation. Otherwise, if a person who didn’t know medical skills suddenly learned medical skills, people would think that she was a monster.
Song Yang continued to ask, “Then, sister-in-law, do you also know how to save people and treat patients? Like other doctors?”
Ding Yao nodded again. In this strange parallel space, in this backward village, if she wanted to live well, she naturally had to use her skills to save people. Moreover, she also liked medicine. She liked to use her own medical skills to comfort those who were sick.
After hearing this, Song Xiuyan looked at Ding Yao with a questioning gaze. He had never heard that Ding Yao had inherited her grandfather’s medical skills and could save people.
Song Yang didn’t understand these things. When he heard that Ding Yao could treat and save people, his eyes lit up as he asked, “Then sister-in-law, can you help our third brother take a look at his leg first?”
Ding Yao didn’t answer. Although she had confidence in her medical skills and had the spirit spring pool as a support, whether she could treat or not depended on the patient’s own condition. Song Xiuyan saw Ding Yao’s troubled expression and glared at Song Yang with dissatisfaction. “You should rest for a while. Don’t say that. Be careful that the snake venom will relapse again.”
At this moment, Song Xiuyan felt a little guilty towards Ding Yao. Although he knew that Ding Yao had died in his previous life, he didn’t know what had happened to her. At that time, his second brother had just been bitten to death by a poisonous snake. His third brother couldn’t take the blow and committed suicide. He was so overwhelmed that he didn’t have the time to pay attention to Ding Yao’s news. In his previous life, Ding Yao didn’t have any sense of presence in his life. Therefore, after his rebirth, he only thought about how to change the fate of his younger brothers and sister and completely ignored Ding Yao, his fiancée.
When he found out that Song Yang had been bitten by a poisonous snake, Song Xiuyan regretted going up the mountain to hunt today. However, he was very glad that he had gone up the mountain today and accidentally met Ding Yao, who had fallen off the cliff, and saved her. Song Xiuyan guessed that in his previous life, Ding Yao had fallen off the cliff and was critically injured. Then, her stepmother, Wang Hongxia, was the first person to find her… but in the end, Ding Yao died. It was difficult for Song Xiuyan not to think about whether Wang Hongxia had done something to her. When he thought of this, Song Xiuyan felt even more guilty. He didn’t want Ding Yao to die again, so when Wang Hongxia had to force him, he decided to agree to take Ding Yao home. He knew that he didn’t like Ding Yao. He just wanted to prove that he wasn’t a scourge and wouldn’t kill anyone.
But what Song Xiuyan didn’t expect was that Ding Yao could actually save his second brother, Song Yang, who was bitten by a poisonous snake. She prevented the two deaths in his previous life in an instant. If he hadn’t agreed to take Ding Yao home, Ding Yao wouldn’t have followed him and saved Song Yang. This was also a kind of karmic cycle. It turned out that if he wanted to defy the heavens and change his fate, Ding Yao was the key. Their fates were tied together. Song Xiuyan thought that he would try his best to compensate Ding Yao in the future.
When Song Yang saw that his brother, Song Xiuyan, who had always been cold and aloof, was angry, he consciously shut his mouth and didn’t dare to speak. It was because he was too impatient. His sister-in-law treated his illness through Snake Swallow Stones. It was different from treating his third brother’s leg. His third brother’s leg needed to be treated by a doctor.
Ding Yao turned to Song Xiuyan. Her lips moved as she gestured. Song Xiuyan understood what she meant. Although he felt that it was impossible, he still translated for Song Yang, “Your sister-in-law said that she will only know if it can be treated after she has seen it.”
