The sky was dark and heavy, and the air was so stuffy that it seemed to be raining heavily. I drove the carriage out of the West Gate and went along the official road straight to the west in the direction of ** Ling.
When I passed through the intersection of the Red Maple Forest, a white-haired old woman with a cane suddenly came from the south. I didn't have time to rein in the horse because the trees blocked my view. A few shouts to get out of the way, but she didn't seem to hear it. I think it's because I'm old and my ears are not good.
Fortunately, the horse pulling the cart did not hit her, and passed by her and stopped. The old woman was frightened and fell to the ground. The mouth shouted, "Hit someone, hit someone!"
As soon as she shouted, many people gathered over. Two men of five big and three thick rushed over like arrows, snatched the reins from my hand, and were about to pull me out of the carriage.
Looking at the old woman's side again, a woman had already run to her side and shouted with concern, "Mother, how are you?
"Ahh The old woman grinned with a pained expression.
It's not porcelain, is it?
My heart tightened, I got out of the carriage and asked the old woman, "Mother-in-law, although you fell, I didn't hit it, how can you shout that I hit someone?"
The old woman patted her thigh and slandered me and said, "Why didn't you hit it?" If you don't hit me, then how did I fall to the ground? You see that my wife is old and easy to bully, right?"
Madame added fuel and vinegar to the side and said, "If you hit someone and still want to deny it, do you still have a little humanity? My mother is so old, if there is a person who has three long and two short, you have to be responsible." ā
The crowd in a circle began to talk about it, some shook their heads and sighed, feeling pain for their old women, some accused me of driving too fast, and some incited the crowd to make me responsible.
Now I can see it, dare to love this is an organized and premeditated porcelain gang!
"What's the responsibility? Please, you have a little common sense, okay? If you really get hit by a galloping horse, even a normal person will have to die or be disabled. At her age, she should have died a long time ago, how could she still sit here and talk?" I looked at these people coldly, and felt ridiculous from the bottom of my heart.
Public opinion immediately began to divide, some felt that what I said was reasonable, and some continued to pity the old woman.
"You rich people love to bully the poor. Obviously, you hit it, how can you talk nonsense with a clear conscience! My wife is seventy-three years old this year, and she is living on a difficult road, and it seems that she has reached the end of her life. It doesn't matter if my wife dies, what should I do if there are still orphans and widows left at home?"
"Mother, the daughter-in-law is still to support you to live a long life, don't scare the daughter-in-law like this!", then, the woman wiped her tears and knelt down to everyone, "This guy obviously wants to deny it, and I also ask the villagers to make the decisions for the little woman and the mother." The little woman kowtowed to the villagers!
This one of them is really weighty, stained with the sand on the ground, and the forehead is red. After a while, I looked at the woman again. She was wearing a white dress, her hair was simply tied in a bun, and a peach hairpin was inserted, which was not well worn, but there was a charm between her eyebrows and eyes, which was impossible to ignore
"This lady, get up quickly! Get up!" The bitter trick had an effect, and the soft-hearted aunts wiped away their tears and picked up the woman.
I couldn't see the beauties being wronged, so they yelled at me and said, "You kid don't want to deny it, you are responsible for the people you hit." ā
I smiled at the crowd and said, "Responsible! Of course I'm responsible." I'll take her to the best medical clinic in Mengzhou City right away to see your injuries, are you satisfied?"
Of course, there was no objection, and then I walked up to the old woman, squatted down and stretched out my hand to help her, "Mother-in-law, I will immediately pull you to the best medical center in Mengzhou City to show you your injuries." ā
"No, I won't!" the old woman and the woman's faces became nervous.
"Why not?" everyone was puzzled.
Others don't understand, I understand, she wasn't hurt at all, wouldn't it be revealed when she went to the hospital?
Someone asked directly, "Auntie, she wants to show you injuries, this is a good thing! Why don't you go?"
The woman hurriedly replied, "Mother is afraid of being calculated." We countrymen are honest, and we don't have as many scheming as people in the city. What if he leaves us behind when he gets to the city?"
The old woman shouted, "I won't go to the hospital, I won't go to the hospital." Hurry up and lose money! Lose money! I'll see for myself. ā
After acting for half a day, this is the right time.
I stared at the old woman and sneered and said, "I don't know how much you are injured, so I can't tell how much you will lose." I don't want to pay, I don't want to pay less! You definitely don't want to, I think it's safer to go to the hospital.
If it is a minor injury, you will be healed and you will leave, and I will pay you some money to settle down. If you are seriously injured or crippled, I will raise you until the end of your life. If you are not cured, you have to die, I will give you linen and filial piety, and raise your daughter-in-law and grandson. But if you are not hurt at all, I will send you to the government and accuse you of fraud.
If you think I'm unreliable, you can get a few enthusiastic folks to go with you. If you still don't dare to go, it proves that you have a ghost in your heart. ā
After saying these words, I thought that the old woman would panic and show her feet. Unexpectedly, she smiled gloomily, "Go, you must go to see the injury, but not to the place you said." The abbot of the Yuelao Temple is very skilled, and it is close, so go to him!"
"That's right! The abbot often treats the people in the vicinity, and his character and medical products are famous, so it is most suitable to find him. Judging from the reaction of everyone, this abbot is indeed very popular.
If it were usual, I would definitely play with these people to the end, but I still have to rush to ** Ridge, and I don't have time to spend time with them here. After thinking about it, I still decided to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, took out twenty taels of silver from the money bag and said to the old woman, "Mother-in-law, look, I still have urgent things to do, give you some silver taels, you can take it and go to see the injury!"
The old woman blocked my hand, gave me a blank look, and said, "Didn't you say just now that you were going to take me to the Mengzhou Medical Center to see my injuries?
"Iā" I just said that, purely to scare her and make her retreat, but now it has become a lever to be ridiculed by her.
"I just have so much money, if you want it, let's go to Yuelao Temple!"
The old woman opened the money bag with a straight face, and her eyes lit up. I turned around to leave, but she stopped me again, "You!
I forced a smirk and asked her, "Is there anything else you want to teach your old man?"
The old woman raised her right arm and looked at me with her eyelids half raised, "Hmm!"
What does that mean? I didn't understand it for a moment. When she saw that I was not moving, she said, "Come here, help me up!"
I replied yes and went up to pick her up. It was supposed to be just an arm, but she insisted on holding my hand. The moment my hand was grasped by her old bark-like hand, I felt something more in my palm.
