Chapter 456: You call it selfishness

The three northernmost houses in the courtyard are the houses where Mi Cai and the old lady live, the house is the kind of architectural style in the sixties and seventies, three steps of bluestone, the wooden door brushed out of the butter is not shabby and very clean, the sunset is about to set into the house, it is very bright, and the first thing that catches your eye is a big bookcase.

The wooden cabinet looks like it is from the same person as the wooden door, there is no delicate carving, you can see the joints of the wood splicing, and the bookcase is full of books, many of which have been yellowed at a glance, but they are very neatly placed.

In addition to these books, there are wonderful calligraphy hanging on the walls that are not very clean, but the strength is not very strong, and at a glance you can tell that it is the handwriting of a woman.

"You wrote all this?" Pointing to the calligraphy on the wall, Li Lin asked with a smile.

"My level is far worse than this, and it was written by my grandmother after she retired. Mi Cai replied with a smile.

Li Lin nodded silently, such a boring thing as writing calligraphy is generally done by those who have nothing to do and eat the country's food every day, at least, he has never seen a young person write this thing.

"What about these books?" Li Lin pointed to the books spread out on the wooden board on one side again, and couldn't help but ask.

"These are grandma's treasures, and every once in a while I will take these books out and dry them, otherwise they will become moldy after a long time. Mi Cai pointed to another room and said, "Grandma is in this room, she should have slept if she didn't squeak." ”

After saying that, Mi Cai shouted softly, "Grandma." Here comes the guests. ”

cough cough cough ......

There were two light coughs in the room, and then a weak voice came out, "Who's coming? ”

"Let's go. Grandma let us in. ”

Mi Cai said that he went into the room, Li Lin also followed and walked in, the room is not big, about twenty or thirty square meters, the first thing that caught Li Lin's eyes was the ink and blue on the wall facing the door, which looked very good, but just looked at Li Lin and shook his head, although he didn't know much about painting, but he could also see one or two.

The appearance is there, the color is also good, but it lacks a bit of brilliance, just like painting a dragon, no matter how exquisite you paint the dragon body, dragon claws, dragon whiskers, and dragon scales, but if the dragon eye is painted without a god, then this painting is not a masterpiece.

In addition to this painting, there are also a large number of books in the room, and the smell of ink is also blowing in the face, from the moment you enter, every bit in the room seems to tell that this is a scholarly family.

"Grandma. This is Li Lin. I'm here to see you. ”

When Li Lin looked at the furnishings in the room and lost his mind, Mi Cai's voice rang in his ears, and the next moment he looked towards the position of the window, only to see an old lady with gray hair and a wrinkled face sitting in a wheelchair, looking at him with burning eyes.

Although the old lady was in a wheelchair, her eyes were full of energy, as if they could penetrate everything.

"Hello grandma. I'm Li Lin. Li Lin greeted the old lady very politely.

"I hear you. The old lady said.

Li Lin was stunned, he didn't expect this old lady to speak so "uniquely" shouldn't she smile and welcome herself?

However, thinking about what Mi Cai said to him before he came, he was relieved, it is not uncommon for people to have eccentricities when they are old, and besides, they used to be university professors, and they always have a bit of a high temper.

"Grandma. Li Lin is here to see you. Mi Cai hurriedly said.

"You said it. I hear you. The old lady said.

Mi Cai was speechless, sometimes she would be stomped by the old lady angrily, but there was no way, so she had to look at Li Lin awkwardly and said: "Grandma's temper is not very good, don't mind......"

"It doesn't matter. ”

Li Lin smiled and shook his head, and his gaze fell on the old lady again, although the old lady was paralyzed, she still looked very energetic, especially the clothes she was wearing were really clean, and there were almost no stains visible.

"Grandma. I know a little bit about medical skills, can you let me show you?" Li Lin said with a smile.

The old lady frowned, and then snorted: "Do you know a little about medical skills? There are so many diseases that experts can't look down on, and you can cure them with a little understanding?"

"Mi Cai. I've told you a few times, I'm like this, don't let people torture me anymore, if you can cure me, wouldn't I have stood up a long time ago? Are you sincere enough to let people see your grandmother's jokes...... Huh?

Mi Cai opened her mouth, and then sighed, this kind of thing is not the first time she has encountered it, since the old lady was paralyzed, she went out to see the sick I don't know how many times, and I don't know how many doctors invited home, even the vice president of the city hospital, Cao Yunfeng, also came in person, at the beginning the old lady was still full of expectations, but over time she resisted.

Although she doesn't approve of the old lady's approach, Mi Cai can understand the old lady's thoughts, after all, she used to stand on the podium with a lot of students in front of a large number of students, and now she is in a wheelchair, and it is normal for her to be unwilling to let people see her so unbearable side.

"Li Lin. I'm sorry for you. Or don't look at it. I'll send you back. Mi Cai looked at Li Lin embarrassedly and said. She's now caught in the middle, and she's not human at either end.

Li Lin paused and then frowned, just entered the house for a while he has been looking at the old lady, the old lady's situation also appeared roughly in his mind, years of desk work caused her cervical spine, spine, lumbar spine deformation, cervical vertebrae serious compression of nerves, although now it seems that there is still a little bit of spirit, but as the cervical vertebrae continue to compress the nerves, the condition will deteriorate step by step, and then it will also cause a series of complications, and even endanger the old lady's life.

He may not be able to return to normal for a while if the bones are deformed, but through acupuncture and moxibustion, as well as spiritual power to remove stasis, the old lady's condition will gradually improve, at least, it will definitely not be a problem to walk around the ground within three days and five days.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, and his burning eyes looked at the old lady, who was stared at by Li Lin like this, the old lady first shook her head, then snorted, and turned her head directly to the side.

Mi Cai also noticed that the two of them were not quite right, she was just about to speak, but Li Lin rushed in front of her and said in a low voice: "Old lady." I came to see you, not to see your face, but to see your granddaughter's face, and I haven't seen a doctor yet, so you just refused, so it's a little unreasonable for you to do this?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then turned her head, glanced at Mi Cai coldly and said, "Mi Cai." This is the doctor you hired? Do you talk to your elders like this? It's just uneducated, an old lady, that's how your elders educate you? Please go out, I can't afford a doctor like you. Also, Mi Cai is not allowed to ask me to come back with a doctor in the future. Drop-off!"

Mi Caiqiao's face is also ugly for a while, she is a girl who knows right from wrong, although the tone of what Li Lin just said is not very good, but what she said is also reasonable, people come all the way to see you to see a doctor, whether you look good or not is another matter, but your attitude is still wrong.

"Grandma......" Mi Cai wanted to speak and stopped, she really wanted to scold the old lady twice, but she has been a filial girl since she was a child, even if the old lady has a thousand things that are not all wrong, she has never talked to the old lady.

"Mi Cai. Didn't you hear what I said?" said the old lady.

Mi Cai hesitated for a moment before looking at Li Lin again, she was now embarrassed and sad, "Li Lin." Let's go. I'll send you. ”

Looking at the incomparably angry old lady in front of him, and then looking at the bloodshot in Mi Cai's beautiful eyes, Li Lin's brows furrowed even tighter, and his sharp gaze fell on the old lady again, to be exact, it was straight into the old lady's eyes, and the momentum made the old lady tremble.

"Grandma. I did lose my temper just now, and I spoke a little rushed, and I apologize to you. Li Lin said very seriously.

The old lady was stunned, she didn't expect Li Lin to change so quickly, and now she raised her hand hard and said, "Okay, okay." Apologies don't have to be. Rice color. You take him outside to sit for a while, have a cup of tea, rest for a while, and then leave. I'm tired, don't bother me anymore!"

"Wait. I'm not done yet. ”

Before the old lady's words fell, Li Lin directly interrupted her, and his tone was slightly softened compared to the moment just now, "Grandma." You yourself are sick, you can give up on yourself, and it is you who suffer from the disease. It has nothing to do with anyone else. But. You are unwilling to accept treatment for the sake of self-esteem, and you have not only harmed yourself, but also your granddaughter Mi Cai. ”

As he spoke, Li Lin seemed to have lost his mind, directly grabbed Mi Cai's arm, pulled her to him, pointed to her eyes and said, "She has to go to the hospital every day to do dirty work, and she will serve you when she comes back." Do you think it's right for you to do that? Even if you're not thinking about yourself, do you have to think about others?"

"She can serve you for a year or two, do you want her to serve you for half a lifetime? If you say it's for your self-esteem. I think you're being selfish. ”

"And. I can come to treat you, for her sake, otherwise, with your attitude, even if you beg me, I will not treat you, because my medical skills are not so cheap, and they will not be used on selfish people. ”

Li Lin crackled like a cannon and said a lot, and every sentence was like a needle tip stabbed on the old lady's heart, and at the same time, it was also stabbed on Mi Cai's heart.

After speaking, he shook his hand, turned around and walked out without saying a word, he was really angry, he had never seen such a stubborn one. Such a person is still a university professor, it's a joke.

The old lady looked at Li Lin who shook her head and left, and then looked at Mi Cai, and the tears in her old eyes were uncontrollable tears, she had never thought so much before Li Lin came, but Li Lin's words made her suddenly, especially when she looked at Mi Cai, and the guilt suddenly hit her heart.

"Mi Cai. Go and call him back. I'm willing to see the disease. The old lady raised her arm hard, wiped her tears and said, "It's all my fault, it's me who is too selfish, I am willing to accept treatment, I believe he can cure me." ”

Women are sensual animals, especially a kind girl like Mi Cai, when she saw the old lady crying, her eyes were also moist, but she didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly chased out.
