Chapter 303: The Stranger

"Who are those people?" Gu Zhirong's eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

The white-haired old man thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know much about this matter, but the old woman in my family happened to be basking in the sun at the door of my house, and when I saw a few of them coming over, I asked Mrs. He where she lived. ”

Soon, the old woman of the white-haired old man's family came over, an old woman of about sixty years old, very well maintained, there were not too many wrinkles on her face, her face was kind, and everyone was smiling.

However, in such a situation, this old woman who loves to laugh can't laugh anymore.

Knowing what Gu Zhirong wanted to ask, the old woman immediately talked endlessly as if she had opened a conversation.

"Miss Gu, you want to know those people, right?" the old woman thought about it very seriously, "I really have an impression of those people, I still remember their appearance, listening to their speech, it shouldn't look like a local, anyway, not like us Central Plains people." ”

"Ah, not quite like the Central Plains?" Gu Zhirong was puzzled, "Then who are they?"

The old woman shook her head: "I don't know." When I was young, my old woman and I traveled from south to north with my old man, practiced medicine everywhere, went to many places, and understood many dialects. Anyway, I just think that the accents of those strangers are really special, but they are a little similar, like ......"

The old woman glanced around vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "The old woman thinks so." It's kind of like the accent of Xiliang's side. ”

"Xiliang?" Gu Zhirong was greatly surprised. This was something she hadn't expected.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's just assume that they are from Xiliang's side." So what are they doing here? They came to find Mrs. He, are they Mrs. He's relatives?"

The old woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." That Mrs. He, her ancestors have been from Hejiazhuang for generations, and she has no foreign relatives at all, let alone any ghost relatives of Xiliang. ”

"That's weird. Gu Zhirong shook his head and said, "Impossible, right?"

The old woman patted her chest and said, "Nothing is impossible and impossible. That Mrs. He is the person in our village, her family, and her husband's family. There are few people, so Mrs. He is so lonely and miserable after her husband and son are dead, and she needs to be taken care of by our neighbors. Even if there is a distant relative. It won't be so bleak......"

Gu Zhirong nodded: "Old lady." I believe you. Then, what are those people doing here looking for Mrs. He?"

The old woman shook her head again: "I don't know, anyway, I heard from the people who live around here, Mrs. He is also very surprised by the arrival of these people, but after they lived in Mrs. He's house for a few days, they took good care of Mrs. He, the people in the village." I think these people are doing good deeds. Although Mrs. He has left, everyone says it. Mrs. He, in your previous life, you must have accumulated virtue, so that you will meet good people in your old age!"

"Good people?" Gu Zhirong sneered in his heart, did not refute her words, and said softly, "Old lady, then, and then where did those people go after Mrs. He died?"

"Gone. The old lady sighed.

"That's right. Gu Zhirong thought about it, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "Since those people are here, why do the people in the village say that Mrs. He has been dead for several days and has not found out?"

The old lady then said, "That's why I'm sighing." This Mrs. He is enviable and sighs. You said that this Mrs. He is true, we all thought that those people were here to take care of her to spend her old age, and then bury her well, but we never thought that a few days before the old lady died, those people had 100,000 urgent things to go. Alas, what a pity. ”

"I see. Gu Zhirong nodded, and suddenly remembered something again, "How many people are there in total?"

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "Five people." Oh no, it's not five people, it's six people, and the last one was carried here, I heard that he was very sick, but he had to see Mrs. He. After staying in Mrs. He's house for about two hours, she was carried away as she had come. ”

"Someone who is very sick?" Gu Zhirong was puzzled, "What kind of disease does that person have?" is there shortness of breath and coughing up blood?"

The old woman hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, there is no symptom as you said, anyway, it is a patient, who is seriously ill and inconvenient to walk with his legs and feet, so he was carried in." ”

Gu Zhirong thought about it, and then understood what was going on, she smiled and said to the old woman: "Old lady, I know, I have worked hard for you." ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Mingyue.

Mingyue quickly walked over, took out a bulging purse, and stuffed it into the old woman's hand: "Old lady, this is a little thank you from my young lady, you can accept it." ”

The old woman took it, felt heavy inside, and immediately became overjoyed, and thanked her vigorously.

Letting Mingyue send the old woman out, Gu Zhirong fell into deep thought. She knew that the problem must be with the seriously ill patient with weak legs and feet, and those unknown people took a critically ill patient to see Mrs. He, there must be a purpose. It's just that what makes her feel strange is that their purpose is just Mrs. He alone? A lonely old man who is old and widowed, sooner or later will die anyway, why can't those people wait?

It's just weird.

The old woman who had just received the purse did not leave, the simplicity of the countrymen, who accepted other people's things, always felt a little uncomfortable, so she strongly invited Gu Zhirong to her nearby home for tea before leaving.

After tossing for a morning, Gu Zhirong also felt a little tired and thirsty, so he took the bright moon and green water and followed the old woman to her house.

The old woman earnestly instructed her son to go out and fetch the freshest well water and make tea. Although the tea is an ordinary pre-rain dragon well, aged old tea, but after brewing this well water, it actually exudes a freshly fried tea-like fragrance, Gu Zhirong couldn't help but praise: "Old lady, your well water here is really good, even ordinary tea can brew a different fragrance." ”

The old woman laughed and said, "The girl is right." I don't know what's going on, my wife has lived here for most of my life, and I have never had this well water so good, not only the tea brewed is fragrant, but also can cure diseases. ”

Gu Zhirong couldn't help laughing: "The old lady said that if the water quality of this well is good, it is rich in many ingredients, which can play some effects on strengthening the body, which is possible." As for healing......"

Gu Zhirong shook his head: "If this well water can cure diseases, then won't this medical hall of your family be closed?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Although I also hope that the medical clinic opened by my family can prosper and the more people who come to see the doctor, the better, but we can't be so immoral, right? The fewer people come to see the doctor, doesn't that mean that everyone is in good health? Girl, to be honest, in the past half a month in our hospital, there have indeed been a lot fewer people coming to see the doctor. It's like the second dog and his father some time ago, he didn't see clearly when he walked at night, he fell down the mountain, broke his foot, went to me and got on the board, and took the medicine for external application. It stands to reason that this injury will take at least a while to heal for a hundred days. It's strange to say, in less than ten days, the place where the broken bones have grown, and you can walk, run, and jump, do you say it's magical?" )
