Chapter 35: My Bitter Child

Lu Feng sighed lightly and didn't ask any further. After putting the tools away, he waved his hand and said, "Go and sit outside the door!" Soak up the sun. ”

Li Xiaohu turned his head to look at his mother, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, and shook his head silently and said, "Brother Lu, go ahead!" I'm going to take care of my mother here, and if I get outside and she wakes up and can't see me, she'll be worried! ”

Sensible!

Lu Feng thought that when he and Li Xiaohu were at this age, they didn't be as sensible as him.

However, the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, although they also listen to the poor in their own family, but compared with Li Xiaohu, it is much better, at least the parents are healthy.

Today's children have experienced too many hardships before their minds will be more mature, and the current Li Xiaohu is obviously much stronger than his peers in terms of mentality.

For a whole afternoon, Lu Feng held the medical book by the door of the medical hall while studying, while recovering the depleted mental power. And Li Xiaohu waited by his mother's side every step of the way.

At ten o'clock in the evening, just as Shang Wende was thinking about whether to take the middle-aged woman back to his home and let the mother and son live first, the middle-aged woman who had been in a coma woke up quietly.

The blurred vision gradually became clear, and she felt that her physical state was much better than usual, which made the middle-aged woman feel excited, however, the unfamiliar environment made her slightly stunned, smelling the smell of medicinal herbs wafting in the air, she hurriedly struggled to sit up from the hospital bed.

"Mom, are you awake?"

Li Xiaohu looked at his mother struggling to sit up in surprise and shouted loudly.

When the middle-aged woman saw her son, a trace of excitement flashed in her heart, she was really afraid that she would sometimes pass out and never wake up again, and she would not be able to look at this filial and sensible son.

"Xiaohu, why am I here? Where is this? ”

Li Xiaohu had a bright smile on his face, judging from his mother's slightly ruddy face, his complexion was much better than before, and he silently thanked Shang Wende and Lu Feng in his heart, and he smiled: "Mom, this is the medical hall I told you, it was Dr. Shang and Brother Lu who treated you!" Do you feel much better? ”

A trace of excitement flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged woman, and then her expression darkened, but at this time, by feeling, the body is much more comfortable, in the past, when I opened my eyes, I felt that my throat was itchy, and the coughing sound continued.

Li Xiaohu's cry of surprise made Lu Feng, who was sitting at the consultation table reading a book, and Shang Wende, who was in the inner room, both come quickly, Shang Wende smiled at the thin middle-aged woman and said: "It's good to wake up, I am the doctor Shang in Xiaohu's mouth, stretch out your arm, and I will check your pulse." ”

The middle-aged woman had surprise and doubt in her eyes, she didn't understand how her son sent her from under the bridge to here, and she didn't understand why this doctor Shang would treat herself, she had to know that her orphans and widows had come all the way by begging, where did she have the money to treat the disease? However, she still suppressed the doubts in her heart, glanced at her son standing on the edge of the hospital bed, and stretched out her slender arm.

Shang Wende put his fingers on the pulse of the middle-aged woman, his eyes were slightly closed, and he slowly opened them after a minute, the traces left by the years on his face stretched slightly at the moment when his smile appeared, and he said with a little satisfaction: "It's not bad, after two acupuncture treatments, the condition has been controlled, and there will be no danger for the time being, but this condition needs to be treated for a long time, especially in recent days, it must be treated with acupuncture, and it is necessary to take medicine on time." ”

The middle-aged woman was originally less than fifty years old, but she was tormented by illness and made her look like she was fifty or sixty years old. Hearing Shang Wende's words, a wry smile appeared on her slightly old face, and she waved her hand and said, "Shang ...... You're Dr. Shang, right? You don't have to lie to me, I know my own disease, and many major hospitals have concluded that my disease cannot be cured, at most it will only delay my body and bones for a little longer. ”

Her words, after a pause, continued to sigh: "What's more, even if it can be cured, what can it be? Don't talk about treating me, even the food and drink are all begged by Xiaohu, where is the money for treatment? ”

Li Xiaohu, who was beside the middle-aged woman, hurriedly said: "Mom, Doctor Shang said that he will treat you without money." ”

The middle-aged woman was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "How can there be a free lunch in the world, we have experienced so many things in the past few years, don't you understand?" Xiaohu, Mom knows that you say this to make me happy, but Mom has a filial and sensible son like you, and it is already worth it, even if you die, you can be blind. Forget about the cure, Mom really can't drag you down anymore, Mom is the only one who can't rest assured about you now."

Li Xiaohu frowned, glanced at Shang Wende and Lu Feng, and then said seriously: "Mom, I didn't lie to you, Dr. Shang really said that he would treat you without money, even if there is no free lunch in the world, even if Dr. Shang asks me to do anything, as long as I can cure your illness, I am willing, if you die, I am alone, what is the point of living?" ”

The middle-aged woman didn't speak again, just choked tears down her rough cheeks and shook her head vigorously.

Li Xiaohu saw that his mother didn't believe it, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of anxiety, and he hurriedly grabbed his mother's arm, looked up at Shang Wende and Lu Feng, and his eyes were full of begging.

Shang Wende sighed lightly, he understood that the suffering of these years had made this middle-aged woman probably no longer believe in any good people, so she would say something like 'how can there be a free lunch in the world'.

Life can destroy people's will and erase the pure truth in their hearts.

Perhaps in the past, middle-aged women would still believe that the world is full of love and will smell of happiness everywhere. But in the past few years of her son's medical career, she has seen very thoroughly the warmth and coldness of people, even if there are some caring people, they only give small favors, where can they compare to such a big thing as treating themselves without asking for patients?

The big hospitals that she had sought medical treatment before, those who wore the garb of angels, but had the heart of a miserly God of Wealth, made her almost desperate.

And there are two brute-like sons......

Hope is long gone, where do you dare to expect good things to fall on your head?

Looking at the middle-aged woman with teary eyes, Shang Wende said softly: "Don't worry! I can't guarantee other doctors, but I don't ask you for money or anything in return for my treatment. There is no free lunch in the world, but you should be glad to have a filial son, who has traveled thousands of miles behind his mother's back to seek medical treatment, and has suffered a lot along the way, and with his heart, I can't take your money anyway. ”

Lu Feng, who was moved in his heart on the side, couldn't hold back the words in his heart after Shang Wende's words fell: "Yes! Xiaohu is a filial child, we are all touched by his filial piety, maybe you don't know, but he told us personally, along the way, he begged for money to buy you food, and he himself begged to eat leftovers, and even grabbed food in the trash can with wild dogs, Auntie, maybe you don't know, just in the morning, when I met him, he was beaten by three little hooligans, and he didn't let go of the cloth bag in his hand, for what? For the money he begged for, the bitter money of one dime and two cents, two yuan a piece! In order to prevent the money from being snatched away by the three hooligans, and in order to use the money to find us to treat you, he would rather be beaten to death than let go. The wound on his head, maybe you saw it, although I can see that you didn't ask, but you must feel doubts and distress in your heart, right? He was injured by those three thugs! ”

"I brought him to the medical center, and after he saw the sign of the medical center that he had been looking for so much, he suddenly fainted, why? He was not knocked unconscious, he was starved, fainted from hunger! He didn't eat anything here every day, just to save money, for his mother, you, to treat you. ”

"Auntie, I have never seen such a child, who can struggle almost on the precipice of life and death for his mother, he is very bitter, but he has a firm heart to save his mother, and he has this filial piety."

Saying this, Lu Feng couldn't help but shed tears, and continued: "Do you know? He had a sentence that made my heart very sore and painful, maybe that sentence was just something he said unintentionally, but it made me feel heartache like a pinprick. He said, 'I haven't eaten a mouthful of hot rice for a long time', he is still a child, he is still a growing child, chewing cold dirty steamed buns every day to satisfy his hunger, drinking cold thirst every day, he lives a life, maybe not even a stray dog, at least, the dog can still pick up some bones that others throw away after eating meat. ”

Shang Wende's eyes flashed with tears, he silently twisted his head to the side, took advantage of no one to pay attention, secretly wiped it quickly with his sleeve, and then pulled Lu Feng to prevent Lu Feng from continuing to say, now is not the time to say this.

The middle-aged woman, at this time, tears were raining down, and her bleak face made people look very worried.

"My wretched child, you have suffered......"

Her thin body hugged Li Xiaohu, grabbed him in her arms and cried.

Yes, she doesn't know!

She didn't know that her son had secretly suffered so much behind her back.

In the past, every time her son came back from outside with a smile, whenever she picked up a hot meal and asked him why he didn't eat with him, he would smile and say, 'I have eaten outside, I am so full'.

It turns out that where is the son who eats well, he is saving money to buy food for himself, but he himself suffers from hunger and has never eaten a mouthful of hot rice!

The heart-wrenching pain was like a poisonous snake constantly biting her heart.
