Chapter 59: Strange Old Man
I crouched down in front of her and saw her clutching her ankles, her eyes teary-eyed, and I thought she must have accidentally injured her foot when she kicked the wooden stick.
Reaching out to Qin Mengmeng's right foot, he talked about her trouser leg.
Sure enough, her thin white ankles were swollen, I stared at Qin Mengmeng's red and swollen ankles, and said with some distress: "Why is it hurt like this, I told you not to mess around just now, you are still ......"
"Hmph, don't have a conscience, I don't mess around, can you get them?"
Qin Mengmeng wiped a handful of tears and stared at me angrily.
I didn't want to quarrel with her, wasting time, so I reached out to a princess to pick her up and rushed into the school.
Zhang Qing and the others saw me walking into the school with Qin Mengmeng in their arms, and they all surrounded them, just now they were still tense and wanted to live or die, but now they are concerned, shushing and asking for warmth.
I asked Zhang Qing, "Do you know where Teacher Wang went?" Mengmeng's foot may have been sprained, you should find a hospital to treat her first." ”
"Mr. Wang has never been back since he entered the city, we thought we came back with you, but we didn't see him. ”
Zhang Qing shook his head vigorously.
I thought about it, the reason why Wang Wei entered the city, I guess he may have gone to see Jiang Wenwen, but Jiang Wenwen's body is still in the basement of the Xiao family, how can he see it?
No matter what, treating Qin Mengmeng's feet now is the key.
I asked Zhang Qing again: "Do you have a medical room or something in your village?" I didn't have medicine with me in the car, and if I didn't get treatment in time and rushed to the city, I was afraid that something would happen." ”
Seeing Qin Mengmeng's little face pale, I was also very anxious in my heart, seeing her like this, she may have twisted the bones inside, if it is not treated in time, what is really likely to be a problem?
"There is no medical room in the village, but there is a barefoot doctor, but the old man has a very strange temper, I don't know if he will treat you. ”
After Zhang Qing and the others looked at each other, they gave me such an answer.
I hugged Qin Mengmeng and said, "No matter, it's better than nothing, it just so happens that several of you are also injured on your faces, so let's go to the barefoot doctor together and ask him to bandage you together, and I will pay for as much as it costs." ”
Zhang Qing had a bitter face, looking at his expression, as if he was very embarrassed, and shook his head vigorously, I asked him why, and he said to me: "Brother, you don't know, that barefoot doctor is not only difficult to invite, but also doesn't care about money, and his temper is very weird. ”
"I'll go, and there are such strange people?"
What age is it, and there are still people who don't care about money, not to mention that in this small mountain village, no matter where it is, this society is originally a money-first society, I don't believe that there are still people who can't be hired with money.
Looking at my look of disbelief, another young man next to Zhang Qing said to me: "Big brother, let me tell you the truth, although this old man has excellent medical skills, as far as I know, there are not many people in the village who have been healed by him, and he can count them on his fingers." ”
His words really aroused my fighting spirit, I don't believe in this evil, I am such a tenacious person.
I hugged Qin Mengmeng and said to this young man: "Brother, you show me the way, I will invite everyone to drink at night, today I have to let this strange person treat me for this foot." ”
"Then I'll tell you beforehand, whether that weirdo heals her feet or not, you'll have to invite us all to drink in the evening, or I'll not make this trip in vain. ”
The lad was quite clever, but I could tell from his words that he wasn't sure about the trip, so he had to get stuck here.
Of course, I agreed without even thinking about it.
But when I arrived at my destination, I realized that I had promised too soon.
Because the strange old man of the so-called barefoot doctor is none other than the one we borrowed water to drink but didn't borrow.
Qin Mengmeng and I exchanged a look, very helpless.
I said to the young man, "Brother, you can go back, you can find a good place first, and let me know in the evening."
Then I gave him my phone number.
The young man looked at me, not believing me at all, and he deliberately dialed this number, and only after making sure that he could dial my number did he leave.
After the young man left, I said to Mengmeng in my arms: "Niece, why don't we go back, this strange old man, I don't think I can handle it." ”
"You haven't tried it, how do you know you can't do it?"
Qin Mengmeng glared at me with disdain, and then said to me, "You come knock on the door, knock on the door, I'll tell him." ”
I sighed, walked over to the wooden door, and tapped it a few times.
After a long while, the old man finally opened the door.
The old man saw that it was us standing at the door, and he was about to close the door without thinking about it, Qin Mengmeng stretched out his other foot and blocked the door, and then said to the old man with a sincere smile on his face: "Master, I'm sorry, we didn't come to borrow water to drink this time, we wanted to come to heal our feet." ”
"Doctor's foot, what's wrong with the foot?"
The old man didn't squint, didn't even look at us, and asked directly indifferently.
Qin Mengmeng replied in a low voice: "My foot, I twisted it just now, and now it hurts, grandpa, can you help me take a look?"
"Can you afford to die?"
The old man suddenly asked such a question, and Qin Mengmeng and I had a mouth, and I didn't know how to answer.
The old man reached out and pulled Qin Mengmeng's foot, pushed out the door, and slammed the door.
He said angrily behind the door, "Don't come to me if you can't afford to die, don't you like to drink?
This closed-door soup is really a.
Qin Mengmeng and I looked at each other helplessly, and had to sigh and return to school.
Qin Mengmeng dragged a red and swollen leg, and stayed up with me until the afternoon, after Zhang Qing and they finished work, we ordered a table of dishes in a small restaurant at the school gate, Qin Mengmeng didn't want to go, but I didn't worry about throwing her in the car, grinding hard, or taking her to the wine table.
Because of today's incident, of course, the interest is not high, so I don't have much appetite.
Qin Mengmeng was even more depressed, looking at her feet wiping her tears, I don't know if she was sad or if her feet were hurting.
Zhang Qing and the others were also quite depressed, although you and I had a cup, but the sound of clinking glasses didn't sound, and they were all drinking with their heads down.
I haven't drunk liquor for a long time, I also picked up the cup and took a sip, the authentic corn wine in the village burned my throat: "His uncle, why is the alcohol content of this wine so high, I'm afraid I can get drunk in two or two." ”
I scolded the wine, which was high in alcohol, and thought about the old man's words in the afternoon, and my heart was depressed.
Zhang Qing raised his glass to me and asked me, "Brother, you are so short-tempered, are you still angry with that strange old man?"
"Of course he is angry, he can't save him when he dies, he is. ”
I sulked and took another sip of wine alone, whether it tasted spicy or not, but at least it made me breathe.
"Don't be angry, a person like him who is a skilled doctor can make you inexhaustible if he can talk to you, and some people don't even have a chance to talk to him. ”
Zhang Qing's comforting words are enough.
He's not comforting me, he's praising an old man in disguise, and that old man is the one who makes me so angry that he is about to explode, and he can make people inexhaustible with a word, is he a god?
And the old man didn't say anything to me, just complained about my drinking at night, saying that I could heal Qin Mengmeng's feet by drinking, what is this, drinking can heal a person's feet, so what else do you need a doctor to do?
Just when I was depressed, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my head.
Suddenly brought the cup to my eyes, because I thought of something, I quickly turned to look at Qin Mengmeng, and asked her, "Mengmeng, are you afraid of pain?" If it hurts, your feet will be better. ”
Qin Mengmeng looked at me with a puzzled expression: "I'm already in pain enough, why do you want me to hurt?"
"Maybe the old man is right, drinking wine is really possible to heal your feet. ”
When I said this, everyone in the audience looked confused.
In fact, Zhang Qing just said it casually, and I was just lenient in my heart, and I really took it seriously.
I did take it seriously because I had come up with a method, alcohol therapy.
I didn't care if Qin Mengmeng agreed or not, I bent down, lifted my injured foot, put it on my lap, took off my shoes and socks, and revealed a pair of red and swollen feet.
The originally good-looking little feet were swollen into pig's trotters because of a sprain, Qin Mengmeng was also quite embarrassed, she said to me loudly: "Uncle, are you trying to make me ugly, everyone is eating, how bad it is for you to take off your shoes in front of everyone." ”
"Sorry brothers, she's in so much pain, that's all I can do. ”
I said sorry to the others, and poured all the wine in the cup on Qin Mengmeng's feet.
Then he took out the lighter, Zhang Qing and their faces changed, and they quickly stood up to stop me: "Brother, you can't fool around, you may burn her feet." ”
Smack, I lit the wine on Qin Mengmeng's feet, and looking at the blue flames suddenly jumping on my feet, Qin Mengmeng was also so frightened that she forgot to scream.
I was afraid that she would scream, so I picked up a piece of braised pork on the table and stuffed it into her mouth, and said to her, "After eating this piece of meat, your feet will be fine, trust uncle." ”
Qin Mengmeng's eyes were about to bulge out, but because he had a piece of meat in his mouth, he was embarrassed to spit it out, so he had to stare at me with his eyes while chewing the meat, and the look in those eyes was about to kill me ten times or eight times.
The reason why she was able to eat meat so comfortably was because she didn't feel the pain in her feet at all, because although the blue flames looked terrifying, they didn't have any temperature.
I remember one year, I also sprained my foot.
When I went home, my wife Zhang Miao gave me a fire therapy.
This fire therapy is to pour a glass of high white wine on the injured area, ignite it with fire, and when the fire is burned out, the pain disappears and the contusion inside also returns to its original position.
I don't know how this works, because I can't explain it either, and a contusion can be treated with a glass of wine.
I suddenly thought just now that Zhang Miao went out from here, and that strange old man may be his relative, since the old man said that I can heal my feet by drinking, it is possible that he is implying that I use fire therapy to treat Qin Mengmeng's contusions.
Sure enough, Qin Mengmeng's mood gradually stabilized, and it could be seen that his pain was already disappearing.
Staring at the blue flames that are slowly extinguishing.
I gradually believed in my heart that the old man was unusual, and then Zhang Qing said to me: "Brother, you are really superior, you can find the answer from a seemingly accidental sentence, and you have a strong understanding." ”
