Chapter 005 Planning for the Future

Although I don't understand Chinese medicine, as a Chinese person, who doesn't understand Chinese medicine? The so-called I have never eaten pork, I have always seen pigs running, right? Chinese medicine practitioners have seen too many needles and prescriptions. But acupuncture and prescription are all technical work, so we can't mess around with each other, right? What should we do? By the way, buy a pair of Chinese medicine acupuncture first, and then practice it on a pumpkin, I heard that students in Chinese medicine hospitals practice like this. As for the acupuncture points under the needle, this should be carefully considered, neither can it be an acupuncture point that will kill a person for half a life if it is pierced with a needle, nor can it be those unimportant acupuncture points on the limbs, otherwise the layman can understand it, can it be used in these places? Moreover, it is necessary to choose a place with thick meat, otherwise a needle will pierce people's internal organs, and it will be fatal. After thinking about it, where the above three conditions are met, only the small belly of the human body remains. The meat on the human stomach is generally the thickest part of the human body, and the fat is as thick as 3-6 centimeters. Around the dantian acupoint, gently prick three needles, there will be no problem, right?
As for traditional Chinese medicine, just find some prescriptions for treating hepatitis in the book of traditional Chinese medicine health preservation, add or lose weight grams, and you should not be able to eat dead people, right? Haha, why am I so smart? If you think of it, do it right away. has reached this point, there is no advance or retreat, and we can only go step by step.
After 9 days after the operation, my aunt's face was obviously ruddy, and the amount of food gradually increased, and she was full of energy, and even began to cook and eat in the kitchen by herself. It's just another liver pain halfway, and after taking a morphine shot, there is no severe pain, and the occasional pain is completely within the tolerable range.
20 days after the operation, my aunt was already completely like a normal person, with significant weight gain and obvious plumpness on her face.
I also go to the street to buy vegetables and cook, get up in the morning and go downstairs for a walk and exercise, and I don't need to be taken care of at all. I think I've done everything I've done and it's time to go home, and I've been away from home for a month and I'm a little homesick.
Just as he was about to say goodbye to his aunt, there was a knock at the door. A group of men and women about my age, dressed as clearly students, stood outside the door. A timid female voice asked, "Is this Teacher Wang's house?"
"Nana, Wenwen, everyone come in. Behind me, my aunt came over, pulled me and said, "Let the students come in." ”
It seems that the students from his aunt's school have come to see him, the house is small, and the room is full for a while. I didn't see anything wrong with me, so I said to my aunt, "Auntie, you're almost getting better, it's almost the New Year, and I want to go back." I'll come back to see you later. ”
The aunt wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, she just nodded.
Back in town, as soon as I got off the bus, I heard someone yelling: "Dog, dog, haha, I'm lucky to meet you here." I followed the sound and looked over, only to see the iron egg running towards me happily. He took my hand very warmly and said, "Go, I'll invite you to dinner."
What's wrong with this kid? I'm a little too enthusiastic today.
I can't close it so much at this time, I've been running for a day, and my stomach is growling with hunger, plus I haven't seen my friend for a long time, and I'm very happy. The iron egg pulled me down to a mutton steamed bun restaurant and found a secluded place to sit down. I asked for two bowls of mutton steamed buns, and chatted while eating.
"Dog, I heard from your mother, your aunt is seriously ill, you went to serve your aunt, how about it? I can see you go home, your aunt is probably discharged from the hospital, right?"
"Yes, my aunt has been discharged from the hospital in the past few days, thank you for your concern. What about you? I haven't seen you for a long time, what have you been busy with all these months?"
I only heard Tie Dan sigh deeply and said, "Don't mention it, in the past few months that you haven't been here, I haven't succeeded in anything, everything is not going well, and I have nightmares every night." ”
"Oh, what's going on?" I asked.
Tie Dan put down his chopsticks and spoke in a low voice.
It turned out that since Tie Dan got the jade pendant, he asked people everywhere to evaluate and sell it, because the jade pendant is black and does not slip into autumn, but it can't be priced, and no one even asks for 100 yuan. Since it was not easy to sell for the time being, then the iron egg hung around his neck, and since then he had the same dream every night, and there was always something terrible chasing him behind him, and he kept running and running all night, but his legs were always filled with lead and seemed to be unable to run, and he woke up after struggling desperately. When the cold sweat is wiped off his forehead and he falls asleep again in a state of anxiety, the same dream will happen again. He was so frightened that he lost sleep at night and did not dare to sleep. Later, because of a bath, he took off the jade pendant, and as a result, he fell asleep in the bathroom, did not dream, slept very soundly, and almost drowned in the bath water. If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the bathhouse saw that he hadn't come out for a long time, and it had been time, he came in and called him, and it was estimated that he would not be much better. When he came back, he wondered if it was a problem with this jade pendant? If he didn't wear it, he wouldn't dream? He wanted to try it, so he never wore it again, and then he never had that nightmare again. It's just that on two occasions I dug graves with several partners in the same village as coolies, but they were chased everywhere by the police, and the bosses behind the scenes were caught. Although Tie Dan said that they were just working hard for money, they were considered accomplices, and they were also detained by the police for half a month and received re-education from their fellow inmates.
I looked at Tiedan's familiar face, and I was glad that I had just done something wrong on impulse, but luckily it turned out well. He was angry and made mistakes again and again, and said: "You are really a stupid hat, a typical Shaanxi cold baby, you dare to wear something from the neck of a dead man?
Even if you are not afraid of death, don't you feel that your heart is in the right place? Besides, digging graves is a business that sooner or later requires prison food, have you decided to bury yourself in prison like this for the rest of your life?"
The meal was very heavy, and we were in a very bad mood.
Fortunately, this quarrel did not affect our small iron relationship. That night, Tie Dan came to my house again, threw the jade pendant directly to me and said, "I don't dare to ask for this now, I'll leave it to you, you can do it, if you don't dare to ask for it, just throw it away." ”
I picked up the jade pendant and took a serious look at it for the first time. This jade pendant, the whole body is black, the shape is like a butterfly, the carved texture is clear and complex, warm and moist in the hand, very comfortable.
"Okay, Iron Egg, are you going to throw bad luck on me?" I said angrily.
Tie Dan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Isn't this made up by the two of us? It brings me bad luck, but it may be good luck for you." Doesn't it mean that different people don't have the same life? You can keep it and try it, and if it doesn't work, throw it away, and there's nothing to lose. ”
Come to think of it, at least, I look particularly pleasing to the eye on this jade pendant.
After being silent for a while, Tie Dan said in a rare serious tone: "Dog, you trained me today, I thought about it for a long time after I went home, and I think you are right." We can't go on like this, digging graves is purely a crooked way, and sooner or later we will commit crimes, and then we will be ruined for the rest of our lives. But I am unwilling to let me farm with peace of mind, you give me an idea, what can we do to have a future?"
I quietly looked at Tie Dan's eyes, felt his sincerity from the heart, and thought seriously for a while and said: "Tie Dan, to be honest, I don't have such a high consciousness, if it is a ready-made ancient tomb, such as in your own homestead, contracted land, etc., you can take the sheep with your hand, then it's fine, but if you and a group of people deliberately look for and dig ancient tombs everywhere, that is to do it as a career, the problem is big, the ancients said well, men are afraid of entering the wrong line, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man." In the tomb robbery industry, escaping punishment is only temporary luck, and going to prison is an inevitable result. We're only 17 years old this year, so we can't take our lives together. You must keep this in mind. As for what we can do to make money? When we watched TV some time ago, didn't we say that we would reform and open up to the outside world? Did the state allow individuals to do business and do business? We should also be self-employed, opening restaurants, selling clothes, selling fruits, and so on. ”
Tie Dan thought about it, sighed again and said: "But I don't know any of these, besides, what you said all need capital, we are all farmers, how can we have the capital to do business." ”
"Yes, what about the cost?" I couldn't help but sigh deeply, and the two of us were planning our lives in constant long sighs.
