29. Committing illness
After the general's accident, the three uncles and three aunts also hoped that Ah Hao's husband, Xinghou Mansion, could lend a hand, but they didn't expect that before they went to Changxing Hou's Mansion, they heard about a letter of resignation from Changxing Houfu and drove Ah Hao out of the house. The two of them wandered around the capital, hoping to find a helper, but the two had a low status and did not have many connections, and the emperor was furious at that time, and no one dared to help them. The two of them were like headless flies, anxious to turn around, and did not get much useful information.
However, before the general's body arrived in the capital, the general's Zhengjun and his eight-year-old son had already fallen ill in bed, that is, Ah Hao's father (biological mother) and younger brother. Ah Hao's father is also a father-in-law, the heir is difficult, after giving birth to Ah Hao, his health is not very good, and he has Ah Hao's younger brother in his thirties, the mother is not strong, the child is also weak, plus it is dystocia, after giving birth to this little son, both mother and son have become medicine jars.
After receiving the news of the general's death, the mother and son passed out several times. Before the emperor could decide how to deal with this matter, the two of them were already dying. The emperor didn't remember the old feelings, copied the general's mansion, took the general's official position, collected the general's property, and put all the people in the general's mansion into prison, and the mother and son died in the prison before they lasted more than two days. On the contrary, it was Ah Hao, because he was already married, and someone secretly helped, he was not convicted, he disposed of his dowry, spent a lot of money to make a point, and finally only accepted the bodies of his parents and younger brother.
By the time the third uncle and third aunt came over, Ah Hao had already taken care of his family's affairs and left, and he didn't know where he went? No one even knows where he buried his relatives? The third uncle and three aunts had no choice but to go back and prepare to make another plan with Ning Ge'er's mother, but they didn't expect that something happened here, and in the end they just took Ning Ge'er to escape.
"Ah Hao, you must avenge the general, avenge the lives of nearly 100 people in the general's mansion, and avenge your aunt and grandmother." The third uncle gritted his teeth and said.
"Even so, there are Cheng Zhong and the Marquis of Changxing, and they can't be let go." The third aunt added another sentence.
The appearance of the third uncle and the third aunt made Ah Hao and Geng Qiu's originally happy mood also depressed. Knowing that they are reminiscent of their old lives. Geng Qiu didn't feel anything yet, he just felt that he had treated the child badly and failed to give the child a better life. And some fragments flashed in Ah Hao's mind from time to time, which made him remember some things, he wanted to grasp this flashing memory, and recalled it carefully, but the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, and finally he couldn't help holding his head and moaning in a low voice.
"Ah Hao, Ah Hao, don't think too much." As soon as Geng Qiu saw him like this, he knew that he was sick again. Ah Hao, who had not been ill for a long time, became ill again this time.
Ah Hao's illness this time was very strict. The pain was so painful that he kept convulsing and vomiting, and he yelled from time to time, he had a lot of strength, Geng Qiu was defenseless for a while, and he punched him in the face. If it weren't for the third uncle who went to pull Ah Hao's hand in time and blocked the strength of his punch, this punch would be terrible. Even so, Geng Qiu still felt a hot pain in his face, which scared everyone into a mess. But in this place, there is no doctor or medicine, and several people are helpless, so they have to keep comforting Ah Hao and take care of it carefully. Others are left to their fate.
"Or, take the town to the doctor." The third uncle said carefully. But in the middle of the night, how can he go out, not to mention, with his condition, can an ordinary doctor cure it well? The hearts of several people are on fire, but there is nothing they can do.
"Third aunt, let's comfort the two children and go to sleep first." Geng Qiu said tiredly. The two children were frightened and cried incessantly. It was originally good, if it weren't for the third uncle and three aunts mentioning the past, it wouldn't have caused Ah Hao to get sick, but now it's good, making a mess of things, Geng Qiu felt uncomfortable, and his tone came out.
The third aunt didn't dare to say anything more, so she hugged Ah Niu and led Brother Ning back to her room. The third uncle and Geng Qiu also carried Ah Hao to their room, and both of them didn't dare to blink to take care of Ah Hao. It wasn't until the middle of the night that Ah Hao calmed down, Geng Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's enough for me to have one here, third uncle, you go and rest." ”
"Ah Hao, are you okay?" The third uncle asked scaredly.
"I don't know, but it's not the first time he's sick, and he usually gets a good night's sleep. But it's not as strict as this time before. ”
"What then? I'll have to find a doctor. ”
"Yes. I know. Geng Qiu was already tired, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. looked at Ah Hao blankly, and thought about taking Ah Hao to see a doctor.
Originally, when I was in San'in City, I also went to the big medical hall to see it, but at that time, I didn't see what the reason was, but I just said that this disease can't be stimulated, and it should be taken care of. Even the medicine was only symbolically prescribed and eaten. Besides, Ah Hao didn't feel sick at all, and Geng Qiu didn't know what to do, could it be that he couldn't tell him, was he sick in the brain? How can this kind of thing be easy to say, and everyone doesn't know how Ah Hao's disease is caused? I don't know the cause, and unlike modern times, there can be CT and other scientific and technological means, how to treat this disease is also quite difficult, Geng Qiu thought about it, but didn't come up with a good way.
In fact, Ah Hao sometimes feels that something is wrong, but most of the time, he works hard to survive, and he falls asleep when he is tired, and he has no time to think about whether there are any of these. After settling here, Ah Hao did not get sick again. Geng Qiu thought that his illness would slowly improve on his own. Who would have thought that this time the onset of illness was so strict.
But in this small place, where can I find a famous doctor to treat Ah Hao? He can be sure that the level of treatment in the town's medical hall will definitely not be better than that in Shanyin City, but Ah Hao's disease must be treated again. And he only had forty taels of silver on hand, which was probably not enough to spend.
The more Geng Qiu thought about it, the more irritated he became, and hurriedly persuaded himself not to think so much, and to go to bed first. He was tired enough in the past few days, and as soon as he thought of sleeping, he felt that his brain was confused, and his body automatically entered a rest, and soon fell into a deep sleep. I slept very well this night, and if I hadn't woken up hungry, I was afraid that I would have to sleep all day. Ah Hao slept more deeply than him, and there was no sign of waking up at all. The house is also quiet, and it is estimated that everyone is still resting. Geng Qiu got up lightly, ready to get something to eat.
"Get up. How is Ah Hao? The third uncle asked, and he sat in the middle of the hall, holding some bamboo branches and brooms in his hands. He was very worried about Ah Hao, so he sat in the hall all the time when he got up, listening to the movements in Geng Qiu and Ah Hao's room.
"I haven't woken up yet. He slept well. ”
"The porridge is still hot in the pot. The two children are also still sleeping. You're okay with this face, are you? The third aunt pointed to Geng Qiu's face, after eating A Hao's punch last night, Geng Qiu's face was bruised and swollen at this time.
"It's okay, I'll be fine in two days." Geng Qiu finished speaking and went to the kitchen. After a brief wash, I started eating.
After eating, the two children also woke up, Geng Qiu fed Ah Niu a bowl of porridge, and the third uncle and three aunts discussed with him about taking Ah Hao out to see a doctor. Brother Ning automatically went to stand on the horse. This is the homework assigned to him by Ah Hao, and he has to practice it every day.
"I don't know what the medical hall in this town is like?" The third uncle asked worriedly.
"It's definitely not much better, anyway, let's go check it out first." Geng Qiu sighed.
"Next time, don't talk about the past in front of Ah Hao. He hasn't been sick for a long time. Geng Qiu thought about it and explained.
He didn't believe that going to the town could cure Ah Hao's illness, to be precise, he felt that the medical level of this era could not cure Ah Hao's illness at all. He remembered the last time the old doctor said, "The best cure for this disease is to keep the patient from getting sick as much as possible." He agrees with this sentence.
When Ah Hao first became ill, he carefully observed that Ah Hao had no external injuries on his body, and it was obvious that he was not born with this disease, it could only be caused by nurture, most likely due to a head injury, or emotional stimulation. But he is not a doctor himself, and he doesn't know about Ah Hao's past, which is just his speculation.
"Where do you dare to mention it again? As long as Ah Hao is good, he doesn't ask for anything else. The third uncle wiped his tears and said. In fact, he and the third aunt also regretted it last night, they knew very well that Ah Hao would only suffer more than them at the beginning, and the pain he suffered was the greatest. Otherwise, how could such a good person be like this?
While a few people were talking, Ah Hao also got up, and he also woke up hungry. As soon as I got up, I went straight to the kitchen.
"Is there anything else to eat?"
"Yes, it's still hot." Geng Qiu replied, and helped him fill a bowl of porridge, and brought the dishes to the table. There is a small table in the kitchen, and when the weather is cold, the food is cold as soon as it comes out, and now everyone basically eats in the kitchen.
"What's wrong with your face?" Ah Hao frowned and looked at the wound on Geng Qiu's face and asked.
The third uncle and the third aunt looked at each other, very surprised, they didn't expect Ah Hao to remember what happened last night.
"Did I hit it?" Ah Hao quickly reacted and said in surprise.
Everyone didn't know what to say, Geng Qiu thought about it and asked carefully, "Do you still remember what happened last night?" ”
"Well, I remember some, I have a headache. I seem to be thinking about something. ”
"What do you remember?"
"I have a sick brain and I can't remember a lot of things. But I remember that Daddy, my father and my younger brother all died, and the General's Mansion was also raided. Ah Hao whispered in pain.
"Don't think about it anymore. Think no more. Geng Qiu hurriedly interrupted his thoughts, for fear of causing him to get sick again, and secretly grabbed Ah Niu. The child was in pain, and cried loudly with a "wow", he didn't know that Geng Qiu was pulling him, but he subconsciously twisted his body and looked around, trying to find out which one hurt him.
"What's the matter, Ah Niu, what's going on?" Ah Hao was alarmed by his crying voice and hurriedly asked. The little guy has a very loud voice, such a fuss, let alone Ah Hao, even Brother Ning, who was practicing outside the house, was shocked and ran in.
"Brother Ning, let's take Ah Niu out to play." The third uncle took the children and took them out to play. The little one loves to run around, he doesn't like to stay in the house all day. As soon as I heard that I was taking it out to play, I immediately stopped crying.
