Miao Cui brought a basin of hot water and put it on the bench next to the bed. He took a towel from the wall and washed it in the water.

Didn't wring the towel too dry, because she was going to wipe the man on the bed. The man looked at Miao Cui busy beside her, opening his mouth and making ah-ah sounds, as if he wanted to talk to her.

"Husband, there is no money at home. Miao Cui stopped her hand movements when she heard the man's voice, and then turned the towel over and continued to wipe his body.

"I really don't know how to make more money, and I'd love to cure you. Miao Cui simply sat on the edge of the bed, turned sideways and looked at the man and said, "But I'm so tired, husband, I can't hold on alone, what should I do?"

The man's mouth squirmed, trying to lift his hand. But it didn't help, and there was no movement at all. "What should I do?" Miao Cui spoke again, "What do you say to do?" The man closed his eyes in frustration, not daring to look directly at her.

Suddenly, Miao Cui threw the towel heavily on the man's face and shouted, "You are talking, you talking, you are talking, you are talking, you are talking, what is the use of me asking you to be a man?"

Miao Cui threw herself on him and cried bitterly, and kept beating him with her hands to vent her emotions. After a long time, Miao Cui raised her head and moved her body to the head of the bed, and helped the man wipe away her tears with her hands, "I'm sorry husband." I know you're having a hard time too. ”

Miao Cui sniffed, stabilized her mood, got up and went to the kitchen, and after a while, she came out with a bowl of porridge and fed the man carefully.

The next day, Miao Cui did not go out to work for the first time, but came back early to buy vegetables and was busy in the kitchen.

Miao Cui's kitchen is a shed built outside the house, and she is cutting vegetables inside, when a woman comes over and greets, "Cui, eat so well today, what day is it?"

"Braised pork ribs, isn't this Dingbao's favorite food. ”

"You're so nice to your man. The woman smiled in response and followed the other woman away.

Miao Cui looked at the potatoes on the cutting board and muttered, "That's good...... Is it?"

In the afternoon of the same day, the whole village heard the bad news of Zhang Dingbao's death, and everyone went to Miao Cui's house to help. Looking at the sad Miao Cui, several women stepped forward and took her hand and comforted, "People can't be resurrected after death, don't cry, your family has been liberated, and you have done well enough!"

"Yes, your family has been paralyzed for more than two years, and he is uncomfortable enough. They all sympathized with Miao Cui and admired her. It is not easy for a woman to guard her husband who has suffered a stroke and is paralyzed, and it is not easy to support this family alone.

Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief for Miao Cui, a good girl's family can't have a better life than now.

Everyone was busy working until the second half of the night before going home one after another, and the village party secretary originally proposed to leave two people to accompany Miao Cui, but Miao Cui refused, and sent everyone to the door one by one, so they rested for a while.

Miao Cui looked at the portrait of her husband on the table, he was still very healthy at that time.

When the villagers found Grandma Li's body, it was already the next day, and the old ladies in the village found that Grandma Li did not come out to chat as usual, so they went to her house to call someone, and when they entered the door, they found that she was out of breath. Ah Gong Li, who was lying next to him, still had a faint breath.

Everyone hurriedly sent Ah Gong Li to the hospital, and then called the police. When the police arrived, the scene had been destroyed, and looking at Liang Xintieqing's face, Lin Mu decided to go to Zhen Zheng first.

"The deceased seems to have died of poisoning, but I don't know what the poison is yet, and I'm going back to do a toxicology test. ”

Lin Mu nodded, looking around the room. Is it possible that two old men were poisoned at the same time, could it be suicide? The things that were placed on the bed caught his attention. He walked over and picked up an insole that had not yet been sewn, ruling out the possibility of suicide.

The insoles are still very new, and they look like they have been sewn recently, how could a person who is going to commit suicide have plans to make such delicate things. Now Lin Mu only hopes that Ah Gong Li can get out of danger and wake up early.

"Our village is really unlucky, two people have died this time, it can't be that something has been recruited. Several women discussed worriedly.

"Well, who knows, you said this, one after the other. One of the women lowered her voice for fear of being heard. Seeing the police approaching, several women moved away in unison, not mentioning the matter again.

It was already evening when he returned to the police station, Zhen Zheng held up a document and said to everyone, "The deceased died of black head alkalosis, which is the same as Li Ah Gong, there is alcohol in the blood, I suspect that they themselves drank the medicinal wine with black head and died." ”

"What is black head, alkali?" Zheng Wei asked, and everyone looked at him with disdain.

Zhen Zheng walked over and put his arm around his shoulders and explained, "Classmate Zheng, you have to study hard, Wutou alkali is the main toxic ingredient existing in plants such as Chuanwu, Caowu, and Aconite, and folk often use these plants to make medicinal wine. Therefore, there are countless cases of poisoning due to drinking medicinal alcohol throughout the country. ”

Zheng Wei scratched his head and asked puzzledly, "Isn't it stupid to know that it is poisonous and drink it?" Zhen Zheng rolled his eyes at him after hearing this, and said, "Isn't this the same as you, knowing that smoking is harmful to your health, don't you also enjoy it?"

"I ......" Zheng Wei knew that he couldn't refute it, so he had to walk back to his seat and sit down.

"But...... The time of death of the deceased was six o'clock in the morning, why did the two of them drink so early?" Lin Mu asked, if it weren't for a particularly big alcohol addiction, a normal person wouldn't do this.

"Who knows, some elderly people think that the medicinal wine they brew can prolong life and treat rheumatism, so they usually choose to have a glass in the morning and evening. ”

Zhen Zheng flipped through the information and said, "Actually, some medicinal wines are very toxic and can poison people. Especially for non-professionals, the proportion is not accurate, and I always think that more is better. ”

At this time, a phone call came in, and everyone was looking forward to the news that Ah Gong Li had woken up. "Ah Gong Li is out of danger, but he is still very weak, let's go over. ”

After Lin Mu arrived at the hospital, Ah Gong Li opened his eyes and asked where his wife was.

"Unfortunately, your wife has passed away. Hearing the news, Ah Gong Li immediately covered his face with his withered hands, "Evil, evil!"

"Ah Gong Li, don't get excited, can you tell us first, what is going on with you?" Although I can understand Ah Gong Li's feelings, the top priority now is to find the truth.

"It was we who created our own evils, harmed others, and put our lives on the line!" Ah Gong Li slapped himself, and had already told his wife not to meddle in things, she didn't believe it.

"You mean, it's really a matter of drinking medicinal wine?"

"Yes, comrade policeman, please do something, please find Miao Cui from our village, I will make amends to her in person!" Ah Gong Li's words made Lin Mu confused, but he finally figured out that it was not him who killed him, and he was very curious about why this matter was related to another person.

Miao Cui received the notice and hurriedly ran to the hospital, Li Ah Gong saw her coming and hurriedly got up to kneel, Miao Cui was so frightened that he hurriedly supported him. In Li Agong's intermittent telling, everyone finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

Miao Cui didn't go to work that day, and was going to cook a delicious meal for her husband at home, because she felt that there was less time for husband and wife to get along with each other, and she didn't want to stay with her husband more and more.

At noon, Grandma Li came to visit and took out a bottle of medicinal wine for Miao Cui to drink for Zhang Dingbao.

"This is a wine that I put a lot of herbs in, and I will give it to your family to drink, and I heard that this wine is good for him if he drinks it to relieve his meridians and invigorate his blood. ”

Miao Cui took the wine in disbelief, remembering that the doctor said that she couldn't drink, she had to pour a small glass and return the bottle to Grandma Li.

"Thank you, Grandma, but if he can't drink, I'll give him this small glass, and you can keep the rest." Seeing Miao Cui so persistent, although Grandma Li was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to forget it.

After Grandma Li left, Miao Cui looked at the medicinal wine, maybe it was really beneficial, so thinking about it, Miao Cui still fed Zhang Dingbao, "Husband, you drink this wine, maybe it's really good." ”

Zhang Dingbao swallowed the wine obediently, and in less than an hour, he felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't move, and he couldn't speak. By the time Miao Cui came back, he was already angry.

Miao Cui always thought that her husband had reached the limit, because the doctor told her that Zhang Dingbao would not live long.

When Grandma Li heard the news of Zhang Dingbao's death, she was reproached by Grandpa Li, "Don't let you go, don't go, now it's okay, what if it's a problem with wine?"

"Go, you have a problem, this medicinal wine is a good thing. Although Grandma Li said this, she was also scared in her heart. The two of them didn't sleep all night, and the next day, Grandma Li proposed, "Let's have a drink?"

Ah Gong Li agreed, maybe it was really fine, who would have thought that not long after drinking, the two of them fell down one after another. Because he drank less, he was lucky to survive.

Miao Cui, who heard the truth, had a very complicated mood, she walked out of the ward and sat on a chair in the corridor with her butt slumped.

Lin Mu looked at her like that, and estimated that he couldn't accept it, "Don't be too sad, Ah Gong Li and they have also paid a certain price." ”

Miao Cui shook her head slowly, "You may not believe it, I don't blame them at all, who can blame me, blame myself for not being careful." ”

"They also did bad things with good intentions. ”

"yes, I think it's weird, I'm not sad at all. On the contrary, there is an unprecedented ease. What Miao Cui found difficult to accept was that she was not sad at all about her attitude towards the truth.

may want to find someone to talk to, Miao Cui regarded Lin Mu as the object of confiding, "Actually, whether you say that I am ruthless or black-hearted, I have long wanted to escape from my husband."

In the more than two years that he was paralyzed, I went from vowing to take care of him to wishing he would die soon. Do you say I don't love him?

He used to be very good to me, and I always felt that I had married the right person, but unfortunately God did not fulfill my wishes. I can endure all the suffering, I can do all the dirty work for him.

But I can't stand that everything is fought by me alone, I don't have anything to rely on, but I obviously have a husband. ”

Miao Cui bit her lip and held back her tears, "I will feel wronged, I will be lonely, I will be lonely, I will even feel ......"

She buried her head in the palms of her hands and collapsed, "I even think he's a burden to me!"

Doctors and nurses in the past looked at her sympathetically, and in their eyes she was a poor person who could not face the truth.

Miao Cui cried bitterly for a long time, she stood up and wiped away her tears, and cut her hair, "I'm sorry officer, I told you so much." She bowed to Lin Mu, then turned and left the hospital.

She and Ah Gong Li have both lost their lovers.

Lin Mu leaned against the wall and thought about his thoughts. Her burden does not mean a drag on life, but a mental torment.

When a couple loses the ability to give love, then the relationship is destined to be deformed.

The balance will tilt heavier, as will the pressure.

In fact, the enviable relationship has never been the affection between you and me, morning and twilight. Rather, they are in the midst of hardship and hardship, and they will never give up.
