Chapter 234: No help
After a long dream, consciousness is still hazy. It was pitch black and quiet, and the long night didn't seem to be over yet. Suddenly, my body hurt like flesh and bones. First from the skin to the flesh and finally into the bone marrow, as if countless steel needles pierced into the body, and as if a fierce and brutal beast was constantly crashing into my fragile body, even the internal organs seemed to be crushed, it really hurt to the extreme.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I rolled on the kang and wailed, and the sound was so terrible that I was afraid that the whole village would not sleep. Beads of sweat fell from my forehead like beans, and my face was covered with snot and tears, and I don't think it would be so uncomfortable even if I died at this moment.
Uncles, aunts, and officials were all woken up by the shouts of my crying father and mother, and they rushed over impatiently. I only heard their anxious and indistinct voices, and I couldn't even look up at them, because I couldn't see what was in front of me anymore. My sight, my hearing, my sense of smell, everything I had, even my perseverance, was destroyed by this overwhelming pain. I always feel that no matter what the circumstances, being alive is the most important thing, but at this moment, I really want to die.
In the midst of this excruciating torment, slowly, everything I could perceive turned a hazy white, and the unbearable pain disappeared and ...... with my consciousness
Uncle had already been sent to invite Mrs. Song, and the fat aunt and the big official stood in front of the kang and watched my heart-rending struggle and howl, and they were frightened by my miserable appearance and broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that the person on the kang stopped struggling and was silent after a spasm in his body, the fat aunt's heart beat wildly, "It's not good, this person can't be dead!"
"Mother... Mother... Mother, she... Is this...?" the big official was already frightened, and his mouth was not good.
The fat aunt was silent, the sweat on her face kept flowing down and she didn't care to wipe it, her eyes stared straight at me who was still curled up on the kang although she was silent, and tremblingly stretched out her fat hand like a pig's trotter to my nose.
If the family is so unclear that the person is involved in a lawsuit, I am afraid that the future of the family fortune and the big official will be ruined, she is really afraid, the sweat on her body is even more fierce, and the front placket and back of the jujube red shirt are wet and transparent. It wasn't until she felt a faint breath on her fingers that she breathed a sigh of relief and reached out and nudged my body, trying to wake me up.
"Girl... Girl..."
"Girl... Girl..."
...... She tried so many times that she still didn't wake me up, and a deep worry came over me. It's really not so easy to be a good person, the key is not to make a fuss because of this.
"Mother, what's wrong with her?" the big official finally calmed down and asked her again.
"I don't know, wait for Mrs. Song to come, let's see what she says. The fat aunt had a melancholy look on her face.
Not long after, there was a sound of a dog barking outside, and the uncle came over with the medicine box on his back and Mrs. Song. Mrs. Song is old, she is out of breath when she runs all the way, and she has not cleaned up after being woken up from her sleep, her hair is unkempt, and her face looks tired.
The situation was urgent, and everyone didn't have time to greet each other, so Mrs. Song asked when she entered the door, "How is it?"
"I've fainted, but I'm still breathing. The fat aunt replied with some prostration. She can be regarded as having seen the ferocity of 'heart disease', although someone else is not dead, she has a feeling of the rest of her life.
Mrs. Song nodded in response and hurriedly went to inspect the condition of the patient on the kang. I tried my nose, picked my eyelids, looked at my tongue, and after I took out a silver needle and pricked it a few times on the patient's head.
The others didn't dare to breathe, watching Mrs. Song's smooth movements, just waiting for her to say the result.
After the silver needles were pierced, the patient still did not wake up. Just from Mrs. Song's gloomy face and frowning very high, everyone immediately saw that the situation was not good. The sweat on the fat aunt's forehead fell again, and she wiped her sleeve at this time, and then said to Mrs. Song anxiously and bitterly, "Aunt Song, you know that this girl is so sick and fatal, in case it is not good, you have to testify to us, our family is bent on saving her." ”
"His eldest aunt, don't worry! I know that you are a bodhisattva, and this girl is indeed not lucky. If there are three long and two short, I will not be able to complain to you. Mrs. Song said very sincerely, as if she understood the current situation of the fat aunt's family.
The fat aunt was relieved to hear her say this, but before this breath eased to the end, she heard Mrs. Song say again, "But now, the person has not gone yet, so naturally I still have to try my best to save it." ”
After hearing this, the fat aunt suddenly blocked her throat in one breath, couldn't spit it out, and coughed up when she couldn't swallow. At this time, she was cursing the Song Pozi in front of her thousands of times in her heart.
This mercenary old pious woman actually threatened her! Looking at this situation, this girl is afraid that she will die, and their family will not have the heart to seek medical advice for her again, wasting money in vain. However, at this time, if she says that she is incurable, so that this girl will die of illness, this woman may not know how to arrange their family outside, at least they will not save them when they see death, and at worst they may say that they deliberately killed this girl. If you ruin their reputation, you will get into a lawsuit. But if they continue to rule, I am afraid that they will not be able to cure their family even if they sell their family, and in the end, they will only lose their personal wealth.
Mrs. Song's threat to them, do they want to willingly bankrupt just to never stop her?
No one is a fool, so the fat aunt's inner answer is, never!
"It doesn't matter if you want to make money from me, you shouldn't use this wild girl's illness to threaten us, and now I want to let you know that my money is not so easy to earn." ’
Although the current situation does not allow the fat aunt to say decisive words, her life over the years has not been in vain.
"Save, must be saved!" The fat aunt stopped coughing, and suddenly said in a firm tone, which surprised everyone.
"No......" The thin uncle naturally disagreed, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was scolded by the aunt, "Shut up!"
All the uncle's words were swallowed into his stomach at once, and turned into an ominous humming sound.
"Her eldest aunt is not the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, such a good heart!" When Mrs. Song heard that there was money to be made, she turned on the horse patting mode with joy.
"You're too old! Even if it's a wild cat or a wild dog, we have to save it on weekdays, let alone a person!" The aunt smiled hotly on her face, but her heart was cold, "Old Qianwu, you just wait, there will be more behind!"
"You, if you have a good heart, you will be blessed!" Mrs. Song also smiled hotly.
The fat aunt laughed twice, and gradually smiled and said, "Governing nature is to cure, but ugly words must be said in front." You naturally know this girl's situation better than us, and now I don't have a score in my heart, so why don't you go with us to write a paperwork to ensure that we won't run out of money and money, and we won't let our money to save people be wasted. Then he looked at Mrs. Song meaningfully and said, "I don't know how sure you are that you can be cured?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Song's face was embarrassed. What kind of certainty is she had, judging from the pulse, the girl in front of her is about to die at any time, she just wants to take advantage of this last opportunity to get some money out of this broken household. What do you say to make a paperwork, isn't this embarrassing for her?
"This disease is so dangerous, even if you use very good medicine, it depends on whether God is willing to let her live, and now you want me to go with you to make a document, how can there be such a reason!" Mrs. Song's face changed, and her speech became cold.
"Aunt Song, it's not that we are unreasonable. Since you know that this disease is so dangerous, but you want us to contribute money and efforts, isn't it for us to be a family?" the fat aunt was disdainful, and the implication was very clear.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to do you?" Aunt Song was annoyed, and packed up the medicine box as she spoke, "I thought you were kind-hearted, but I didn't expect that the girl who looks like a flower and jade is going to die of illness and won't be treated, you ...... black."
Mrs. Song originally wanted to take Qiao, pretending to leave to scare the family, and her words also showed the meaning of coercion. But at this time, the fat aunt had already thought about how to deal with it in her heart, and before Mrs. Song could tell her black heart, she opened her mouth with an innocent face.
"Hey~ I said Aunt Song, don't slander us, this girl is like this after taking your medicine. She was just having a heartache, and she was going to die after taking your medicine for only two days, you said it wasn't your medicine problem?"
Heal the sick and the dead, this is a terrible, Mrs. Song didn't dare to let it buckle on her head, her face turned red, and she pointed at the fat aunt and scolded angrily, "You are talking nonsense! Obviously, you killed her." ”
The fat aunt had already seen her through, so she was not afraid at all, and said with a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Wronged! Since we rescued her back, we have been looking for medical advice and medicine, and waiting for delicious food and drink, how can she harm her? She is only like this now because she is already in danger, and even if she dies, it has nothing to do with us! No matter where we go, we can explain this matter clearly, but Aunt Song, can you explain it clearly? Aren't you old and confused?"
One sentence woke up the person in the dream, and Mrs. Song finally understood that this broken household was dotting herself, she didn't want to spend money to save people and was worried that she would go out and talk nonsense. This remark was to warn herself that she could also beat a rake.
This money from killing a thousand knives can't be picked up!, anyway, this person won't be able to endure for a while, if you don't earn this money, you won't earn it!
After thinking about it, Mrs. Song greeted this family thousands of times in her heart. Although his face lacked the heat of Fang Cai, he said calmly, "His aunt is right, I'm really confused." This girl can't blame you for her own life, and she can't blame me. She sighed again, took out two packets of herbs from the drawer at the bottom of the medicine box and placed them on the edge of the kang, "Her illness is too dangerous, and the number of steps she has taken so far is also reckless to the medicine stone." I don't have any skills for my wife, so I gave her these two pairs of emergency medicines, and I should be worthy of my heart. ”
"So, this girl is really hopeless!" The fat aunt was full of ridicule, but she wanted to cry to the people on the kang, "Girl!
Seeing this, Mrs. Song also wiped away her tears. These are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they are good at talking.
Suddenly, a discordant voice suddenly sounded, "Mother, she...... Dead?"
That's right, the thin uncle didn't dare to speak, it was the big official who spoke. This person is not dead yet! The fat aunt's bitter drama couldn't go on, so she picked up the herbs on the kang and threw them to her man, "Hurry up and decoct the medicine, it's important to save people!"
The uncle got the order and went to decoction with an oil lamp. At this time, Mrs. Song felt that it was useless to stay, so she had to leave and go home. The fat aunt said some flattering words to her, and gave her thirty copper plates and ten eggs for medicine and medical fees. The two politely greeted each other and finally left the courtyard.
Mrs. Song has been shrewd all her life, and now that she is pinched by the fat aunt, she is naturally aggrieved. However, although she didn't make a lot of money this time, the copper plates and eggs that she exchanged for some medicine residue made her mentally balanced, and she finally didn't scold on the way home.
