Chapter 145: Old Yaozi's Past
Explain to his father that he must not go out easily, it is best to go out with at least two people, and there are daggers for self-defense in his house, let them go out and take them with them, Xu Xiaobai hung up the phone and continued to think about the snow ginseng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was upset, it was difficult to concentrate, he couldn't figure it out when he thought about it, he was aggrieved in his heart, and he suddenly couldn't suppress it and punched the wall hard. The strength of his hand was extremely fierce, this punch knocked off a piece of putty and patent leather on the wall, and I heard someone push the door in, Xiao Qing looked at him angrily, and counted: "If you have anything you can't think of, don't take out the anger on the wall of my house, the house that was built so easily was collapsed by you!" ”
Xu Xiaobai realized his gaffe, and hurriedly got up to apologize to her, saying in his heart that this is a house that the family built with great difficulty, and what qualifications do he have to use it to vent his anger.
He didn't notice the pain in his hand at all, but Xiao Qing exclaimed, it turned out that although Xu Xiaobai's strength was great, his body was still flesh and blood after all, just now, a large piece of skin had been broken by the wall on his hand, and blood was oozing out.
Xiaoqing couldn't help but say, pulled Xu Xiaobai to the yard, turned on tap water to wash his wounds, pulled Xu Xiaobai back to his house, asked him to exchange gauze and iodine wine, and carefully bandaged his wounds. Xu Xiaobai didn't say a word, watching Xiaoqing fiddle with his wounds more attentively than treating himself, he couldn't help but be a little moved, and said, "Why are you so good to me, I feel very sorry." ”
Xiaoqing bandaged him and said softly: "You are my vault, I am still waiting to make money from you, if something happens to you, who will I ask for money." ”
Xu Xiaobai smiled lightly and said, "This little wound on the flesh and skin, how can something happen." You're thinking too weakly, too. ”
Xiaoqing didn't speak, and when the wound was bandaged, she said to Xu Xiaobai: "You men are like this, you always feel that you can do anything." In fact, people are very fragile, and if one is not careful, a life will be lost. You too, don't think you're a little bigger than ordinary people, a little faster, you don't care about anything, people like you, but it's the easiest to get into trouble......" Halfway through the words, I couldn't help but feel that I was talking too unlucky, as if I was cursing Xu Xiaobai, I hurriedly took a few sips, and muttered: "No taboos, no taboos......"
Xu Xiaobai looked funny, and it didn't stop her, although Xiaoqing's words were rough, they were really the truth. Just imagine how many times she has been hovering on the edge of life and death since she became a host, a large part of the reason why Lin Xing is dissatisfied with herself is that she doesn't take care of her body, and she always wants to rush up when she encounters danger. If it weren't for his own fate, if it weren't for Su Musha, Lao Gao and others who rescued him again and again, I was afraid that ten of them would have died.
"Xiaobai, you have to set a rule for yourself, no matter what the circumstances, you can't risk your life," Xiaoqing's tone suddenly became serious, and she was like two people in her usual life: "Because if something happens to you, then your wife will have no hope at all." ”
Xu Xiaobai nodded solemnly and agreed. Xiaoqing cleaned up the gauze and everything, and then asked about the snow ginseng. She knew that Xu Xiaobai's search for snow ginseng must not go well, otherwise he would not have lost his temper so much. Sure enough, after listening to Xu Xiaobai's words, Xiaoqing also became worried, the probability of finding the two kinds of ginseng mentioned in the book is too small. Now there is no way to contact Uncle Lao Yaozi, do you really want Xu Xiaobai to go to the long forest and snow field alone to find it, this is really looking for a needle in a haystack.
After thinking about it, Xiaoqing suddenly slapped her head and said, "I know how to find Uncle Lao Yaozi!" ”
Xu Xiaobai looked at her blankly, and they had almost asked the people in the village about the whereabouts of the old medicine, and everyone said that they didn't know, who else could they ask?
Xiaoqing didn't continue, she seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after a while, seeing Xu Xiaobai's expectant eyes, she said: "It's a shame to say that this matter is the privacy of our family, and it's very embarrassing, the elders say that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, if my parents know that I am telling you this, they will definitely be unhappy." But saving people is like fighting fire, and there is not so much to do now. ”
Xu Xiaobai didn't know what Xiaoqing was going to say, so she had to wait quietly for her to continue.
It turned out that Lao Yaozi had never been married in his life, and he was one of the few famous old bachelors in the village. But he is different from other singles, those singles are either too poor and poor, or poor and pitiful, or have bad conduct, like the grimace Lao Zhang, and even more of the three, and there is really no woman willing to marry him as a daughter-in-law. But the old medicine is different, when he was young, he was already a famous barefoot doctor in ten miles and eight towns, and he made some money. Although he is not very bright, he also has good facial features, and he can't find any faults, as for his character, he treats diseases and saves people all year round, and his reputation is also good. The reason why he has been a bachelor all his life is not because of anything else, but because he is unwilling to find it.
He falls in love with a man who is not destined to be with him, his sister.
Lao Yaozi's father and Xiaoqing's grandfather are brothers, Lao Yaozi and Xiaoqing's father are cousins, Lao Yaozi also has a sister, nearly ten years younger than Lao Yaozi, Xiaoqing should call her cousin, and she is also thirty-five years old this year. When Lao Yaozi was young, he felt sorry for this sister the most, and he bought good food and clothes for his sister when he made money, and he didn't leave much money for himself. His brother and sister's parents left early, Lao Yaozi maintained the family's livelihood by practicing medicine alone, and his sister can be said to have grown up with him.
When his sister reaches the age of seventeen or eighteen, the age when she should get married, there are people who come to the door to propose marriage, and they all talk to Lao Yaozi about this matter, the so-called eldest brother is like a father. But Lao Yaozi refused, saying that his sister was still young and would not consider this matter for the time being. It's okay once or twice, but there are more times to propose marriage, and gradually rumors come out, saying that Lao Yaozi wants to raise his sister, and I don't know what the plot is.
Later, his sister finally reached the age of spring ignorance, and he talked to an object, a young man in the next door Shangwazi Village, the two of them were as good as glue, at first they hid from the old Yaozi, and did not let him know, but after all, the paper could not contain the fire, after this matter was known by the old Yaozi, he was furious, and ran to the next village to beat the young man to a solid beating, threatening him not to have anything to do with his sister in the future.
This matter made a lot of trouble, and since then, people have said behind their backs that Lao Yaozi is not well-intentioned. Not long after, Lao Yaozi's sister had a miscarriage and hemorrhage, and Lao Yaozi's ability was not able to cure this disease at all, so he sent his sister to the county hospital overnight, and only then was she rescued. After that, his sister openly broke with her brother, resolutely went to Shangwazi Village, married the young man, and never returned.
When this kind of thing happens in the countryside, people can't control their tongues, and they privately speculate after tea and dinner that this miscarriage child doesn't know whose it is. Maybe it was the young man in Shangwazi Village, Lao Yaozi was furious when he knew it, and gave his sister a fetus, but he didn't expect heavy bleeding. Perhaps, an even more terrible result, the child was conceived by the old Yaozi and his sister, and the old Yaozi was afraid that the scandal would be publicized, so he asked his sister to kill the child. But no matter what, the rumors spread very strongly, and even Xiaoqing's father was implicated during that time, and the villagers looked at the family with strange eyes.
Since then, Lao Yaozi has been determined not to marry for the rest of his life, and has not had any dealings with any woman. After a few more years, his sister gave birth to a child, and the old things between the two faded, and then they gradually resumed contact. Listening to Xiaoqing's father's meaning, Lao Yaozi actually still feels very sorry for his sister, and whenever he makes money, he will subsidize his sister's family. That's why Xiaoqing thought that if there was anyone in this world who knew the whereabouts of Lao Yaozi, it must be his sister.
Xu Xiaobai was moved for a while, but he didn't expect Xiaoqing to tell herself about the ugly things at home that couldn't be publicized in order to help him find the whereabouts of the old medicine. He promised that he would not spread these things, and agreed with Xiaoqing that the two of them would go to Shangwazi Village next door early tomorrow morning to find Xiaoqing's cousin and ask about the whereabouts of Lao Yaozi.
Early the next morning, Xu Xiaobai woke up Xiaoqing, and after saying goodbye to her parents, the two went to the Yuantong site first and sent away the Qilinjie, Xu Xiaobai thought that Xiao Yang's goods over there didn't know how to sell, and he was about to enter the Linhai Snow Plain, and he couldn't send him any more goods, so he exchanged 200,000 goods for him, and after the last purchase, Xiao Yang immediately put the purchase money on Xu Xiaobai's account, Xu Xiaobai had enough funds to buy him again, otherwise the 200,000 yuan would be Xu Xiaobai's last family. After doing this, Xu Xiaobai and Xiaoqing walked to Shangwazi Village. There is a depression between the village and the lower depression village, the so-called depression, is the name of the small area of lakes in the northeast, the depression is only a few miles in circumference, it is all stagnant water, relying on the rain and snow in the sky to maintain not dry, now the depression has long been frozen solid, the two just saved the trouble of detouring, directly from the ice through the past.
After walking for half an hour, I arrived at the entrance of Shangwazi Village. Xiaoqing rarely comes here, and she is not familiar with this place, so she inquired about the family, and then asked where her aunt's house was, and walked all the way.
When I arrived at the door of Aunt Detang's house, I saw a low courtyard, surrounded by a fence wall, and three small thatched houses. When a man of nearly forty years old in the courtyard, dressed in a military coat, was holding a sawblade and a huge plank, it seemed that this man was a carpenter.
Xiaoqing stepped forward to say hello, and the man stopped what he was doing, looked at the two young men who were not dressed like locals at all, and asked them who they were looking for. Xiaoqing introduced herself, and the man immediately changed his enthusiastic face and said, "It turned out to be Xiaoqing's girl, I haven't seen you for so many years, you have grown so big." "This man looks honest and honest, and he is an authentic rural man.
The man shouted into the house, and a woman in the house said yes and walked out of the house. Xu Xiaobai looked at this woman and saw that she was about thirty-five years old, and because she had been doing some farm work all year round, her skin was dark, but she could vaguely see that she must have been a beauty when she was young. It seems that this is Xiaoqing's cousin, but she looks sick and doesn't seem to be in good health. After she recognized Xiaoqing, she also had a good greeting, and quickly let Xiaoqing and Xu Xiaobai into the house, Xiaoqing saw that the conditions in the house were poor, and said in her heart Didn't her father say that the money earned by Uncle Lao Yaozi was used to supplement the family, and the cousin-in-law was a carpenter, so it stands to reason that he should not be too short of money, why did the family get mixed up like this.
