The matter of digging a ditch and laying water pipes was handed over to Wan Vieng, and during that time, Wan Vieng went out early and returned late.

I didn't have much to bring for lunch, so I brought some white rice and pickles, and occasionally a few pieces of bacon.

After Xiao Mu returned home from school that day, she went to the field to find the old man.

Seeing that the old man who was working was weak, he raised his hoe and dug a few hoes before he needed to rest, and then continued, which looked very abnormal.

So Xiao Mu asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?"

The old man shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm old, I can't do work anymore, and I feel very bored today." ”

Xiao Mu didn't worry too much, but simply thought that he should be hungry in the afternoon, and it was normal to lose energy.

The sun is hanging in the sky, the fiery sunset, it's time to go home.

The old man packed up his hoe, put on the bamboo basket on his back and set out on the way home.

When he walked halfway, the old man saw that the radishes on the side of the road were all very fat, so he asked Xiao Mu to pull out two.

"Do you want to eat?"

When the old man asked Xiao Mu, Xiao Mu hesitated, because he heard that eating radishes when he was hungry would make him more and more hungry and uncomfortable.

But the radish grew gratifying, big and white, and looked very delicious, so Xiao Mu said, "Eat, I want to eat it too." ”

There was no water nearby, no knives or anything, so I had to use my fingernails to simply process the radish skin.

Take a bite and chew it in your mouth, it is very sweet, and suddenly, the old man looked at Xiao Mu and asked, "Xiao Mu, have you found that this radish is very cold." ”

Although it was a little cold, it was not as cold as the old man said, so he replied: "No, it's not so cold." ”

The old man didn't care, thinking that he was getting old, and his stomach was not as good as that of a child, so he felt this way.

At night, when the whole family was asleep, the old man felt cold and sore all over, so he made a humming sound.

I don't know when, this voice was heard by Zhang Laohan, so he asked the old man: "Old man, what's wrong with you, is there anything uncomfortable?"

The old man said: "Headache, fatigue, body aches, I don't know what's wrong." ”

Zhang Laohan immediately got up, walked to the old man and sat down, only to see that the old man's whole body was trembling.

"Do you want to give you a scrape?" said Zhang Laohan, holding the old man's hands.

But at this time, the old man didn't want to speak, and nodded slightly.

Zhang Laohan got up and came to Xiao Mu's room, "Hey, Xiao Mu, get up, it's not good, your grandmother is sick, get up and help." ”

Xiao Mu looked sleepy-eyed and a little reluctant.

"Don't hurry up yet!"

Zhang Laohan roared loudly, with a little anxiety in his tone.

Xiao Mu also felt that something was wrong, this matter was not so simple, so he put on his clothes, put on flip-flops and ran to the old man's room.

"Xiao Mu, go get the bowl, and then pour some wine inside. Zhang Laohan urged Xiao Mu and said, although Xiao Mu didn't understand, he didn't ask much, he didn't have time to ask more, and he didn't dare to ask.

Hurriedly ran to the hall, took a small bowl from the cupboard, blew the dust inside, and then went to Zhang Laohan's bed and took out the glass bottle, poured a little, and the wine was a little yellow.

And Zhang Laohan was looking for copper coins everywhere to scrape the old man.

"Come, come, help me pull your grandmother's clothes. ”

The old man was prostrate on the bed, Xiao Mu carefully pulled up the old man's clothes, and Zhang Laohan dipped the copper coin in the wine and scraped it off the old man's back.

It didn't take too long, and a lot of red pieces appeared on the back of the old man, but because the copper coin could be scraped too small, Zhang Laohan went to the kitchen to get a sickle, and directly used the back of the knife to shave the old man.

Xiao Mu stared at the old man with a dull gaze, and kept asking the old man: "Grandma, what's wrong, do you feel better, does it hurt?" ”

The old man didn't want to speak, not so much that he didn't want to say that he was weak, but he still replied to Xiao Mu softly: "I don't feel like it's effective, it's still very uncomfortable." ”

Xiao Mu didn't know how to comfort the old man, so he didn't speak, just looked at the old man blankly.

Zhang Laohan asked the old man: "Why is this all of a sudden, is it that you have eaten something that you shouldn't eat." ”

Xiao Mu remembered the radish in the afternoon, could it be caused by the radish?

The old man said slowly: "I didn't eat anything, I just ate a turnip, and I ate when I got home, but I was weak all day today." ”

The family watched the old man in unbearable pain, and they didn't know what to do, and they were all at a loss.

After a long time, Zhang Laohan let Xiao Mu go back to the room to sleep, but he stayed to take care of the old man.

Zhang Laohan wanted to go over and ask a doctor to come and see, but it was the middle of the night, and people were sleeping, so where could he still ask a doctor.

If you call the emergency number of the hospital, there is no phone at home, mobile phone or the like, and you can't afford the cost, so I give up this idea.

Xiao Mu was lying on the bed, her eyes were dry, and she was thinking nonsense.

What should I do? Grandma fell ill so suddenly, but there was nothing she could do, nothing but to watch her endure the pain.

It's still the same over and over again, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and the more I think about it, the more I feel useless.

You can vaguely hear the conversation between Zhang Laohan and Lao Fu.

Zhang Laohan said: "Bear with me tonight, and tomorrow I will ask the doctor to show you what is going on." ”

Lao Fu did not respond to Zhang Laohan.

Zhang Laohan said again: "How do you feel, are you still very uncomfortable?"

"It's cold, it's cold, it's cold all over. ”

Zhang Laohan hurriedly comforted and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll go get you a coat and cover it, you can wait." ”

Then there was the sound of an old man rummaging through things, he was looking for a coat, in order to relieve the old man's coldness.

Before Zhang Laohan found his coat, the old man shouted to Zhang Laohan and said, "Child, dad, you come in, I want to go to the toilet, you come and help me, I don't have the strength." ”

Zhang Laohan hurriedly put down the bag in his hand and rushed to the old man's room, "Come on, come on, slow down, can you stand up, I'll help you, it's okay." ”

"My legs are weak, and I can't feel like I can hold my body. ”

Listening to this voice, it was difficult for the old man to even stand up.

"Come, I'll carry you. Zhang Laohan whispered, for fear of disturbing Xiao Mu and Wan Rong's sleep.

But I thought that they didn't fall asleep, they just lay quietly on the bed, and kept paying attention to Zhang Laohan and Lao Fu's every move.

The emotional Xiao Mu shed tears, but did not let herself cry out loud, and gently wiped away her tears with a quilt, for fear that the action would be too big and be discovered by Wan Rong.

After a long time, Zhang Laohan carried the old man back to the room.

The old man said weakly: "Okay, you can also go to rest, it's okay, it's much better now." ”

But Zhang Laohan was reluctant to leave for a long time, and stayed by the old man's side, for fear that something would happen to the old man.

Xiao Mu and Wan Rong were not, that night, the whole family did not fall asleep, and they all quietly accompanied the old man.
