Dingqiong Prefecture Chapter 67 Yueying
Beiwo Village, as its name suggests, is a small remote village nestled in a ravine in the northernmost part of Liangzhou.
There are only a few dozen households in this small village, so small that it is difficult to find its existence even if you look through any map.
There is only one rammed earth road in the village, which can barely be walked on when it rains so much that your whole foot does not sink in it.
Some people go into the mountains to hunt, some people go into the mountains to collect medicine, and then walk dozens of miles to the nearest town, and then exchange for some daily necessities to barely live.
However, such a small village of extreme poverty and almost forgotten by the world still thrives here, living in almost isolation from the rest of the world.
A Beijing SUV roared and rolled up the yellow sand and stopped in a large circular clearing in the village, where the village usually gathers when something important is announced.
A few half-sized children playing on a piled up stone wall saw the car, divided into different directions, and scattered as if they had seen the devil enter the village, and shouted as they ran: "Old Whitebeard is back! Old Whitebeard is back!"
Three men got out of the car, and the first to get out of the cab was a middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in a blue outdoor suit.
The second one was an old man with a white beard, with all white hair and beard, and only a blushing face, and bright eyes, like a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The third one was a young man, of medium height, of average appearance, very thin, wearing a very simple set of casual clothes, and a pair of black sneakers on his feet, as if he had gone out shopping.
The three of them stood together and looked at each other from afar, just like three generations of grandparents.
After a while, more than a dozen men came running from the small roads sandwiched between the wooden houses in the village, and when they got closer, a villager with a red and black turban on his head and an elderly villager said: "Oh, the Yuan Shen Doctor is back, the Yuan Shen Doctor is back!"
"Yes, I'm back, old village chief!" said Yuan Tong, holding the villager's hand excitedly.
The village chief touched his tears and said, "I...... I'm so worried I'll never see you again, so badly injured. ”
"How else can you say it's a miracle doctor?"
"Hahaha......" The villagers smiled simply, obviously everyone was very familiar with Yuan Tong and respected him very much.
"Doctor Yuanshen, what are you going to do when you come back this time?" the village chief asked again.
"Look for that brute again!"
The faces of the villagers changed drastically, and the village chief said in horror: "Oh, Yuan Shen Doctor, it was a complete fluke that we were able to escape back last time, we can't take this risk anymore, if you have a case, what can we do with these people?"
"Don't worry, village chief, this time it will be fine. ”
Seeing that Yuantong was so resolute, the villagers couldn't say anything more.
At this time, behind the crowd, a crisp and loud voice sounded: "Yuan Shen Doctor, Yuan Shen Doctor, you can come, my grandmother is dying." ”
Everyone immediately got out of the way, only to see a teenage girl running over in a panic, her smart and lovely big eyes full of sadness.
"Yueying, your grandmother's illness has happened again?" Yuan Tong shouted.
"Yes, Yuan Shen Doctor, come with me to take a look. ”
It was a small house that was almost collapsing, and the four walls of the house were made of planks of different thicknesses, widths, and even lengths.
There is nothing attached to the planks between them, which is to dig a row of pits in the ground and then bury the planks in the earth.
The house doesn't even have beams, just a few pillars that are barely fixed inside to prevent the wall panels from collapsing.
The roof is made of some thatch and leaves, which is not too thick, and in many places, the light can directly enter the house, becoming the only natural light in the house.
But once it rains, you can imagine what will happen inside the house.
If ordinary people see that there are still people living in this kind of environment in modern society, they will definitely touch the deepest emotion of human nature called sympathy, and then they will take some measures from the bottom of their hearts to help this poor girl.
But when Lu Ping saw all this, he felt that the painful life in front of him was actually a kind of luck.
If a little girl, with her own strength, can take care of herself in such a situation, and can also support a grandmother who can only lie in bed and can do nothing in her old age, then in three years, when the catastrophe comes, she will be the strongest in this world, because the environment at that time will be 10,000 times worse than now.
Entering the house, Yueying's grandmother was already in a coma, and she didn't know that anyone was in the house.
Yuan Tong first did some simple examinations, and then shook his head and said to Yueying: "Child, I'm afraid I can't do anything about your grandmother's illness, I'm afraid it's only in the next two days." ”
As soon as Yueying heard this, she threw herself into Yuan Tong's arms and cried like a tearful person.
Lu Ping only glanced at it, and knew that the old man was too old, coupled with the fact that he had lived in this environment for a long time, and his body had already been overdrawn in a very serious natural aging, and at this time, almost all the organs in the body had failed, even if the longevity was not exhausted, he could only use the elixir to continue, not to mention where to find the elixir on the earth.
When Yueying gradually stopped crying, the strong child gradually showed a reluctant smile: "Thank you, Yuan Shen Doctor, thank you for treating my grandmother for so many years, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to accompany my grandmother for so many years." By the way, you guys sit, I'll go cook now, it's not easy for the three of you to come all the way, so let's make do here today. ”
After Yueying finished speaking, she didn't wait for Yuantong to refuse, so she touched her tears and ran out with a smile.
After Yueying left, Yuan Tong told Lu Ping about the child's pitiful background.
It turns out that Yueying's family has been hunting for a living for generations, she was born not long ago, her parents suffered misfortune because of hunting in the mountains, so they depended on their grandmother for their lives, when they were eight years old, they relied on going into the mountains to catch some rabbits, picking some small fruits to support the family, and now the child is sixteen years old, is one of the best hunters in Beiwo Village, they want to go into the mountains to find the beast this time, they must let Yueying lead the way, the last time Yuantong was able to escape from death, it was thanks to Yueying.
Yuan Tong said a lot, Lu Ping naturally listened a lot, and before he knew it, the sky had darkened, and he saw Yueying running out from the back of the house, her face still soaked in sweat and black ash, showing two rows of white teeth, holding three big bowls in her hands, and running in front of the three of them.
"Doctor Yuan, Uncle Yuan, and this big brother, eat quickly, there are no good things in the village, these rabbit meat are all hunted by myself in the mountains, and the sweet potatoes are also wild, although they are not as good as the taste in the city, but they must be natural. Yueying smiled, so innocent, so lovely, like a piece of jade out of the mud without staining, pure and heart-wrenching.
"Xiao Yueying, what about yours?" Yuan Mao saw that there were only three bowls.
"Hehe, I've already eaten it, I always taste it while making it, and I'll be full when it's done. ”
Yuan Mao's eyes were immediately soaked with tears, and Yuan Tong also choked up, they knew in their hearts that these were the only ones in Yueying's family.
At this time, Lu Ping grabbed a piece of sweet potato and put it in his mouth and chewed it, then swallowed another piece of meat, and said after eating: "I, Lu Xuanling, have never owed anyone in my life, and I will definitely repay you for eating a bowl of meat today." ”
