Chapter 70: Weasels
87_8770070. Weasel
Since knowing that Cheng Yao can tell fortunes, many classmates want to come to Cheng Yao to have a look, but I heard that Cheng Yao casually calculates a hexagram for people, and the remuneration is very expensive. And he gave up.
At noon that day, Ling Yunyan called Cheng Yao to the quiet playground alone and said, "Cheng Yao, the day after tomorrow is the National Day holiday, I want you to come to my house to help my father take a look."
"What's wrong with your dad?"
"Cheng Yao, I want to ask you to help my dad calculate a hexagram, but I don't know how your honorarium is calculated, for the sake of friends, is it okay to charge less?" Ling Yunyan said with some embarrassment.
"You talk about your father's situation first, as for the money, you don't have to think about it."
"My dad was a stonemason, and he specialized in making headstones and stuff like that. In the countryside, this is also a craft, as the saying goes, the craftsman will not die of starvation for three years. So our family was okay in the village, but when I got up one morning five years ago, my father's right hand suddenly couldn't move, the county hospital couldn't see it, and the doctors in the provincial town were vague and didn't dare to judge. It took most of my life's savings to see a doctor, but I didn't even find out the cause of my illness, and the medicine I took indiscriminately had no effect, so I had no choice but to give up. But as a craftsman, the right hand can not move, which means that the road of craftsmanship is broken, and at the same time the main source of income in life is broken, our family has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and life is getting more and more difficult, and my dad is also depressed every day, sighing for a long time, and saying that he is a waste. My living expenses are all earned by my part-time job, and I am giggling on the surface just to hide my inner vulnerability. ”
"If you don't say it, I don't know, you look happy every day, but you have such unspeakable suffering in your heart. It's unexpected, okay! I'll go back with you and have a look. But I have other arrangements for the National Day, I think, anyway, this afternoon's class is not very important, why don't we leave now and take a day off tomorrow? ”
"It couldn't be better, I wish my dad's hands would be better soon." Ling Yunyan said excitedly.
"Don't expect too much, it's not certain that I can help your father, it depends on the situation."
"Regardless of the outcome, I can't thank you enough. Thank you, Cheng Yao! ”
As soon as they said go, the two returned to the dormitory to pack their things, asked for leave from the school, and drove Cheng Yao's car to Ling Yunyan's house.
Ling Yunyan's house is in a place more than 700 kilometers away from the provincial capital, and it takes seven or eight hours to arrive.
When I arrived at Ling Yunyan's house, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, Ling Yunyan's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen, and Ling's father accompanied Cheng Yao and Ling Yunyan to chat in the yard.
Father Ling's right hand was completely unconscious from the wrist down, and the function of his right hand was almost lost. In the countryside, as a strong laborer in the family, only one hand can move, and the situation at home can be imagined. Their house is low and old, the furnishings in the home are simple, and the only decent thing is a 21-inch color TV.
Ling's mother cooked quickly, and after Cheng Yao and Ling Yunyan ate, they sat with her parents in the dim light and watched TV together.
Ling Yunyan's parents thought that Cheng Yao was just a classmate who came to play with their daughter, and they chatted while watching TV.
"Uncle Ling, ten years ago, did you catch a weasel with a mousetrap!" Cheng Yao asked suddenly.
Although Dad Ling was a little strange how Cheng Yao could know about this, he still nodded and said, "There is such a thing. There was a time when the chickens and eggs were often lost in the house, and I guess the weasel did it, so I borrowed a mousetrap and put the fragrant wax meat as bait to catch the weasel. The next morning, there was only some fur and a weasel's hand in the mousetrap. ”
Speaking of this, everyone's hearts moved. Thoughtfully.
Ling Yunyan has lived in the school since junior high school, and she didn't know that there would be such a thing at home, and Cheng Yao said this, there should be a hidden secret. "Cheng Yao, could it be that the weasel's hand is related to my father's hand?"
Cheng Yao nodded, "There is a direct relationship!" The weasel caught his right hand in the mouse-trap for the sake of the fragrant wax meat, and in order to save his life, he bit off his hand by force. Then the weasel struggled to live for another five years with a stump in hand. The weasel is a very evil little creature, and before he dies, he casts a spell that will cause the loss of his right hand to suffer for five years. ”
Ling Yunyan's father, smoking a dry cigarette, frowned and sat aside without saying a word. He was neither alarmed nor surprised, for since he could not move his hand for no reason, he often remembered the weasel's severed hand, and he had asked the master to see it, but he had never mentioned it. Now this little hairy baby is right.
"My dad's hand has been injured for five years, so it will be better after five years?"
"Logically so. Uncle Ling, if I'm not mistaken, half a month ago, it was the whole ten years when the weasel was caught ten years ago, that is, the whole five years ago when you found out that you had a problem with your hand. ”
"I don't remember very well, but it's probably this time period!"
Ling Yunyan said in surprise: "It's been five years since I said this, and now my father's hand can be restored to normal?" However, I don't think my father's hand has changed. Dad, can you see if you can move? ”
Dad Ling stretched out his hand and pinched it with his left hand, "I was completely unconscious before, but now I feel a little bit when I pinch it." But it can't be moved. ”
"Cheng Yao, according to what you said, the period of the weasel curse is five years, and now five years have passed, but why hasn't my father's hand gotten better?"
Cheng Yao shook his head, "It can only be said that the weasel's curse is over, and Ling Bo's hand is hopefully getting better, there is a process here, and it is not as good as you said." ”
Ling Yunyan said in disappointment, "Then how long will it take to fully recover?" ”
"It's hard to say, it's as short as one year, and as long as three or five years. There are also those that are completely restored as usual, and there are also those that are not very good, and it all depends on personal chances"!
Ling Yunyan was anxious. "That is to say, it is left to fate. Is there no way? ”
Cheng Yao thought about it and said, "You can go to the rehabilitation center to receive professional and standardized rehabilitation training. This may soon be restored. ”
Ling Yunyan's father hesitated and said, "The cost there must be very expensive!" I'm still slowly recovering at home. ”
"Uncle Ling, you don't have to worry about the money, I will pay all the expenses, your hand injury is too long, and it will be difficult for you to fully recover without the help of external forces."
Ling Yunyan said excitedly: "Yes, Dad, Cheng Yao and I are good friends, I will pay her back when I earn it in the future." It is important that you heal first. ”
Early the next morning, Cheng Yao drove Ling Yunyan and his family of three to the local county rehabilitation center.
The doctor said, "As long as there is a little sense, there is hope for recovery." But keep training"
After repeated tests, the doctor concluded that Ling's hand could be partially or completely restored after rehabilitation. The specific process that can be restored can only depend on the situation.
In line with the admission procedures, Cheng Yao immediately handled a qiē and paid all the fees in advance. I hurried back to school alone
