Chapter 9 Buy a First Aid Kit to Save the Monkey
Liu Xianglan returned home sheepishly and was just about to sit down.
The mother-in-law, Wang Lian, glared at her and snapped, "What are you still sitting for? Go wash the dishes!"
Liu Xianglan looked around at the family members...
Father-in-law Feng Sanyi, mother-in-law Wang Lian, husband Feng Wuliu, and son Feng Bajiu all sat there as if it were their right.
She angrily cleared the dishes, her movements inevitably a bit rough.
"What are you doing?" Wang Lian kicked the table leg, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the table to shake.
"Liu Xianglan, I asked you to collect the bowls, what's with all that noise?"
Liu Xianglan shrugged and muttered softly, "I, what happened to me... I..."
"Mom, tidy up properly, don't make Grandma angry." Her son, Feng Bajiu, frowned.
Both the man, Feng Wuliu, and her father-in-law, Feng Sanyi, glared fiercely at Liu Xianglan.
It seemed as if Liu Xianglan was about to pounce on him and attack if she said anything else.
Liu Xianglan hunched her shoulders, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and went outside...
Behind her, Wang Lian said, "Hurry up and boil the water, your father and I need to wash our feet."
Feng Wuliu: "Burn more, I want to take a bath."
Feng Bajiu: "Mom, I want some water. Pour me some."

In the morning, Lu Tao and Tian Xiang went to the wasteland by the river to cut grass for repairing the house, mainly two kinds of grass.
One type is thatch, and the other is reeds.
Actually, it's best to cut the grass in late autumn or early winter, when it's mature, dry, less prone to rotting and mold, and more resilient.
But they couldn't wait.
We can only cut them down first, dry them, and then use them.
Tian Tian and Tian Jinghe each carried a cloth bag and went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables.
They still focused on digging for dandelions, and if they encountered other medicinal herbs, they would dig them up as well; if they didn't find any, they wouldn't be disappointed.
As they dug, the siblings strayed from the route the villagers usually took to go up the mountain.
"help."
Suddenly, Tian Tian heard someone shouting for help.
She looked up, but could no longer hear.
"Jinghe, did you hear someone shouting for help?"
Tian Jinghe shook his head; he hadn't heard anything.
"Help."
Another sound, this time very mournful.
Tian Tian stood up. "Jinghe, don't wander around here. I'll go check on things."
Tian Jinghe stood up, grabbed Tian Tian's hand, and looked worried.
Tian Tian had no choice but to lead him in the direction from which the sound came.
"Be careful." The ground is covered with thick grass.
"Help..."
Tian Tian heard it clearly; the sound was coming from a clump of dense grass.
She glanced around cautiously, then broke off a branch from a nearby tree and held it in her hand.
"Jinghe, hide behind your sister."
Tian Jinghe obediently hid behind Tian Tian, only peeking out one eye...
Tian Tian used a twig to part the grass...
!!!
The siblings were stunned!
There's no one shouting for help.
That's clearly a monkey!
It fell into the grass in a comical pose, one hind leg resting on the gravel and trembling slightly.
His mouth moved, "Help..."
Tian Tian's eyes widened. Was it really crying for help?
She turned to Tian Jinghe and asked, "Jinghe, can you hear it chirping?"
Tian Jinghe nodded; he had heard him.
"What is it calling?"
Tian Jinghe was puzzled. What else could it be called? Of course, it was the sound of a monkey.
"Squeak—" Unexpectedly, Tian Jinghe actually imitated the sound of a monkey.
Tian Tian turned to the wailing monkey, but it seemed... Jing He couldn't hear it crying for help.
She...not only has a system, but she can also...understand animal language?
"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and save me!" The monkey rolled its eyes.
These two humans are a bit silly!!
Tian Tian stepped forward and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
The monkey smirked, "Isn't it obvious?"
"I fell and hurt myself."
Tian Tian carefully took a few steps forward and finally reached the monkey.
She crouched down, not daring to move the monkey's limbs, and retreated while holding its belly.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the monkey had several abrasions and several bite wounds with visible blood and flesh.
Tian Tian gently tugged at its limbs, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt," the monkey replied, baring its teeth.
Thankfully, no bones were broken.
Even if you don't treat the scrapes on your body, they will heal on their own and there won't be any problems.
But the bite...
The wound should be cleaned and then disinfected with iodine.
The system does have first aid kits, but one kit costs fifty coins.
She had only saved ninety-seven coins...
Tian Jinghe gently tugged at her sleeve, his eyes pleading...
"Jinghe, you want me to save it?"
Tian Jinghe nodded.
Tian Tian clicked her tongue. "Jinghe, to save it... you have to spend fifty coins to exchange for medicine with the fairy sister. Do you want to save it?"
When Tian Jinghe heard that it cost fifty coins, his little face scrunched up, looking quite troubled.
"Help...me..." the monkey wailed, "Only fifty coins...change it quickly, change it quickly."
Upon hearing the monkey's voice, Tian Jinghe nodded firmly and pointed to his cloth bag behind him.
He meant that he could dig up more wild vegetables to earn more copper coins.
Tian Tian activated the system and bought a first aid kit for fifty coins.
The first aid kit contained quite a lot of items, including several sizes of band-aids.
Also included are tape, masks, gauze, iodine, alcohol, fever-reducing patches, cotton swabs and cotton balls, bandages, gloves, tourniquets, scissors, tweezers, safety pins, thermometers, ice packs, and a few antibiotic pills.
Tian Tian directly rinsed and disinfected the monkey's bite wound with iodine solution, and then bandaged it with gauze.
Just to be on the safe side, she put another antibiotic pill in its mouth.
Treating a live monkey as a dead monkey...
"Done?" The monkey was a little incredulous. Just like that, the bag was done?
Are you trying to fool the monkey?
Tian Tian gently patted its head. "Don't worry, you should rest well these two days and not run around. I guarantee your injury will heal quickly."
The monkey looked at her with some doubt. "I'm not an ungrateful monkey. If my injuries really heal, I will definitely repay your kindness."
Tian Tian smiled nonchalantly, "Let's go."
Let's stop arguing.
The monkey turned around, its red bottom gradually disappearing into the distance.
Tian Tian stored the first aid kit back in the system. Space utilization rate: 1%.
"It's time to go home."
The siblings' cloth bags were already full, and there was nowhere to put them if they continued to dig for wild vegetables.

The thatched hut is located right next to the mountain; it's just a few minutes' walk down the mountain.
Lu Tao and Tian Xiang were discussing something in front of the thatched hut.
"Mother, eldest sister, what are you talking about?" Tian Tian and Tian Jinghe put down the wild vegetables they had dug up.
"Sweetie, Mom and I are discussing fenced off this area, tidying it up, and planting vegetables."
Tian Xiang circled the area in front of the thatched hut with her finger, roughly ten square meters in size.
Tian Tian felt the circle was too small. "Mother, eldest sister, if you're going to make a circle, make it bigger."
Although she had only saved 47 coins, she had already sold 118 coins worth of wild vegetables to the system.
The system will upgrade once a thousand coins are sold.
At that time... there will definitely be more things to buy in the system, and maybe even various kinds of seeds.
Even if the system doesn't sell seeds, having enough copper coins means you can buy more vegetable seeds.
Tian Tian felt that the more varieties available, the better, and any leftovers could be sold.
