Chapter Ninety-Seven: Strange Fate
The little Wang that the village chief said was the most enthusiastic villager just now. It looks like it's in its twenties, which looks very smart. On the way, I brought him a pack of boutique cigarettes. I'll ask him not to be polite, just call me Brother Zhou.
He repeatedly refused, but finally accepted it. Immediately afterwards, he told the story of Zhang Chun. Zhang Chun can be said to be a legendary figure here, and he never charged patients money for medical treatment before. Therefore, his family was so poor that he did not like to do farm work, and basically spent his days in the mountains, looking for all kinds of herbs.
Even every pair of herbs, Zhang Chun will boil them himself. Actually, in everyone's impression, he is a pretty good person. I don't know what the reason is, last year, a person ate a few pairs of his traditional Chinese medicine, and finally died. Zhang Chun's family lost all their property, and later was kicked out by his wife and children and lived in a house that was about to collapse.
Listening to Xiao Wang's introduction, I also felt strange. A few years ago, Mr. An met the incognito Zhang Chun by chance, and he was cured of his stubborn illness. Could it be that the Zhang Chun that Old Man An said is not this Zhang Chun?
I was taken to a tiled house, which was indeed the most dilapidated house in Qingshui Village. And it is no longer in the village, more than a mile away from the village.
There are fields everywhere, and it looks more like a melon farmer's melon shed for vigil. Before I reached the tiled house, I smelled a strong smell of herbs.
"Brother Zhou, the villagers say he is crazy. He smelled of herbs, so the villagers were reluctant to approach him. He was still sought out for treatment, but since last year, no one has been looking for him. I often see him in the wild picking up injured kittens and puppies to treat them, but I think he is a very good person, and some of the people in the village are really crazy. ”
Xiao Wang's words surprised me a little, could it really be as Xiao Wang said, it was the villagers who blamed Zhang Chun by mistake. He knocked on the much-weathered wooden door of Zhang Chun's house for me, and Zhang Chun yawned and opened the door.
"Who!" Zhang Chun turned on the electric light, and the dim light illuminated his messy room, which was full of bottles and cans, and there was almost no place to stay.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm Wang Xiaohai!" Xiao Wang shouted softly.
"It's you, what are you doing so late?" Is your grandmother sick again?" Zhang Chun asked. I took a good look at Zhang Chun. Although he was dressed very sloppily, there was a kind of stubbornness in his eyes. It looks like he is about 70 years old, but he still looks energetic.
"Brother Zhou, the villagers don't believe Uncle Zhang, but I do. If it weren't for Uncle Zhang's herbs, my grandmother would have died a long time ago. But everyone didn't want me to come to Uncle Zhang, so I quietly took the medicine back at night every time. Xiao Wang smiled shyly at me.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm here to see you. My dad is seriously ill. I don't believe in Western medicine, and I don't want to be tossed by Western medicine, so I did everything possible to find you here, and I wanted to ask you to go out of the mountain and save my father. I said sincerely.
"You're mistaken! I'm just a village doctor. Cure some headaches and brain fevers, and still lack the heat, how can you cure any serious diseases, you better go back!" Zhang Chun directly rejected me.
"Uncle Zhang, I believe you still remember Old Man An! He asked me to come to you. I see that your current living situation must have been hit by something, others don't believe me, I believe it. Really, can you help me? Isn't your greatest wish to be to heal and save people?" I said emotionally again.
Zhang Chun seems to be moved, there is such a kind of person in this world, they are not afraid that they will not achieve, but they are afraid of being misunderstood or even misinterpreted by people.
"Old man An, what's the matter, I told him okay, don't mention me to others. Why should he?" Zhang Chun's face was filled with cloudy tears.
Xiao Wang was really lively, he immediately cleaned up the house for Zhang Chun, and then boiled a pot of boiling water with the iron pot that was almost rusty.
"Uncle Zhang, can you tell me about you and Old Man An?" I sat down.
"This started a few years ago, my illness was still given by Mr. An......" Zhang Chun wiped his tears.
A few years ago, Zhang Chun often went to Rongcheng to sell herbs and then buy some daily necessities to go home. Who knew that he was greedy for a cup that day, drank two more glasses, and didn't wake up until late at night. Walk down the street. The wind blew like this and vomited.
Spat on a luxury car. Immediately, several people came down and punched and kicked Zhang Chun. Even if passers-by saw it, no one dared to squeak.
Zhang Chun was lying on the street like this, and the vehicles that came and went avoided one after another. A luxury car stopped in front of him, and it was Mr. An who was sitting in the car.
At that time, Mr. An was already riddled with evil diseases, and all thoughts were lost. He listened to the words of a monk and went out every day to do a good deed to undo the sins he had committed in the first half of his life. Old Man An knows that many of the things he has done are against his conscience, and even if he regrets it at this moment, what is the use, it should be God's punishment for himself.
The old man did not dislike Zhang Chun's sloppiness, but took Zhang Chun back to his home and took care of him. After a week of recuperation, Zhang Chun regained his vigor. It's just that when he saw Old Man An's sad face every day, he felt a little strange.
"Brother, you and I have reached the age of antiquity, so I won't hide it from you. I was seriously ill and had terminal lung cancer. Now it seems that he has a lot of money, what's the use, it's not that he can't buy it until the sun never sets. "Old man An seems to be full of memories of life, too. At his age, he has already realized it. Gold and silver treasures are only things outside the body.
"Brother, why should you be pessimistic, if you believe me, go and stay with me for a while, and I may be able to cure you. Zhang Chunmao recommended himself and recommended himself to Mr. An.
In fact, he had that certainty that he would be cured. After that, Old Man An quietly went to the countryside with Zhang Chun. A month later, Mr. An went to the hospital for a follow-up, and all the cancer cells were gone.
It's nothing short of a miracle in the medical world. Only then did An Xuan realize that he had found an opportunity to make a fortune, that is, he wanted to cheat Zhang Chun's ancestral secret recipe and take it for himself.
Old man An always remembered his promise, and always refused to tell An Xuan about Zhang Chun's whereabouts, and then An Xuan slowly put this matter down. But he found a reason to trick Mr. An into a villa in the mountains, and he called it a beautiful name.
When Zhang Chun told me about these things, he was always very excited.
"Old Man An is a good person, and he may have made some mistakes when he was young. Later, he has been doing good deeds to make up for his previous mistakes. ”
"Grandpa Zhang, you are also a good person. It's just that the world is blind and misunderstands you. I comforted Zhang Chun.
"I didn't think about what happened last year, I really don't understand. I'm ashamed that I've been betrayed and left by all my relatives, and I can't return home!" Zhang Chun sighed again and again.
"Grandpa Zhang, there will always be a time to figure out the merits. As long as you have a clear conscience, I always believe in your character, can you go to Rongcheng with me now?"
