Midsummer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As night falls, the lights come on.

Jinshui City finally switched from barbecue mode to sauna mode.

The last urban village in the northern suburbs is gradually becoming lively, and the snack bars in the village that are specially opened for low-income people who live here are also busy, except for the second Lin Kee snack on the corner of the main street, which is still closed.

"Hey, what's wrong with Boss Lin's house? It's been a few days, and it's not open? A chubby regular customer complained as he walked to the next store.

"You don't know yet? Boss Lin's son had an accident, and I heard that he almost drowned. The proprietress next door said with added fuel and vinegar while beckoning the fat man to come in and order.

"Almost drowned? Isn't that drowned yet? The store should be opened, but it must be opened! This house is not his, and the rent is precious! The fat man said.

"Not really! Our line of work is the hardest, there is no day off for 365 days a year, from morning to night, tired like a dog every day, and as a result, most of the money earned is given to the landlord. The two of us are okay, you see the three stores in front, it has only been a few months since the Spring Festival? I've changed hands a few times, and I still don't earn enough to pay the rent? It's not much cheaper than in the city, where the people live in the poor, the food can't be sold at a high price, and the rent isn't much cheaper than in the city......"

The proprietress seemed to hold back her grievances, and finally met a "bosom friend" like a fat man, and immediately upgraded him to the level of a bosom friend, and couldn't help complaining about her bitterness.

"Hey, it's not easy. The day before I returned to my hometown, I listened to the old couple arguing about which university was better for their son to take the exam, hoping that the child would not be delayed in the college entrance examination. The fat man didn't want to listen to the boss's complaint, he was more concerned about what happened to his countryman's son.

"I heard that it was the afternoon before the college entrance examination, their son Lin Shengjie wanted to go out for a walk and relax, but he saw a girl in Longzi Lake who didn't know how to fall into the lake, and saw that she was about to drown. To say that this kid is also very watery, but as soon as he got closer, he was tightly hugged by the girl who was desperately scratching in the water, so that he couldn't breathe, and almost even took his life. Fortunately, this kid is smart, and he is also fateful, and he doesn't know how much effort it takes, so he pushed the girl to the shore. Maybe this kid was exhausted, but he couldn't climb up himself, and he was about to go ashore, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into the water and fainted. Fortunately, I met a kind person and jumped into the water in time to rescue him. 120 sent him to the hospital and didn't wake up yet, I heard his mother say that the kid lay in the hospital for two days and two nights before he woke up, and he just delayed the college entrance examination, do you say wrong? The proprietress said vividly.

"If you want me to say, the most hateful thing is the family of the girl who was rescued, when the girl fell into the water, her parents were not far away, Lin Shengjie carried their daughter ashore, this pair of dog men and women who lost their conscience saw that their daughter was saved Lin Shengjie but failed to come up, picked up his daughter and drove away in a car, and he didn't show up until today." The shopkeeper walked out of the narrow kitchen, wiping his sweat from his head while continuing to talk about the Lin family.

"Is Lin Shengjie still in the hospital?" The fat man asked with concern.

"No, recuperate at home, I heard that this kid is like losing his soul, completely stupid." The shopkeeper said exaggeratedly.

"No, I can't eat this meal, I have to go and see." The fat man said, just got up from the stool, but he stumbled and almost fell, and hurriedly held the table with one hand, and covered his waist with the other, with a very painful expression on his face.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" The proprietress hurriedly helped the fat man and asked with concern.

"I guess I'm tired of doing farm work at home, and the old problem of back pain has been committed again, so it's not in the way, just take it slowly." The fat man gritted his teeth and replied with pain.

The fat man knew where Lin Shengjie's house was, and the old Lin couple used the money they had saved for most of their lives to buy a two-room house in a very remote community, in order to allow their son to settle down in Jinshui City, where he could study and take the college entrance examination.

Jincheng Community.

Lin Shengjie has locked himself in the bedroom for three days and three nights, except for the occasional toilet, he basically lies on the bed and looks at the ceiling with dull eyes.

It's been three days since his son came back from the hospital, and he hasn't said a word, eaten a mouthful of food, or even drank a sip of water, and Lin Jianshe and his wife Zhao Qiuxia are dying of sorrow.

"Son! It's nothing if you miss the college entrance examination, we can take the exam again next year, and maybe we can get into a better school. Take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't want to repeat it, it's okay, no matter what you want to do, your dad and I support it, but you also have to eat! ”

"People are iron, rice is steel, you just get angry or regret, eat and have strength, you can be better angry, more regretful, right?"

"Son......

"Don't make any noise, it's been three days, and you haven't stopped talking, don't talk about our son, I'm tired of listening to it." Lin Jianshe nestled in the sofa, sighed, and looked at his wife who was shouting to his son against the door with a sad face, and couldn't help but interrupt her.

"You still have the face to talk about me? It's been three days, it's been three days, our son doesn't eat or drink, can that small body stand up? You're good, you don't even fart, you know that you sit there and smoke, you want to find a way? Zhao Qiuxia roared angrily.

"I ...... I'm not thinking about it! Lin Jianshe lost his temper in an instant, and muttered in a low voice.

"Just your broken head, when you figure out a way, our son will starve to death."

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

A knock on the door interrupted the argument between the two.

Zhao Qiuxia glared at her husband who was not angry, walked to the back of the door in three steps and two steps, and opened the door to see that it was the countryman Sun Fatzi who was coming, still carrying a big bag of fruits and supplements in his hand.

She hurriedly squeezed out a stiff smile and said politely, "Big brother, what are you doing here?" ”

When Lin Jianshe heard that it was Sun Fatzi coming, he quickly got up from the sofa to greet him.

"Sister-in-law, I've heard about Shengjie, I'm a big hero who is here to comfort us, hehe......"

Sun Fatzi pretended to be happy and said.

"Hey! Don't mention, what a big hero...... Quick, please inside. Lin Jianshe stopped talking and quickly gave up his seat and poured tea.

When Sun Fatzi just entered the house, he habitually bent down to put the fruit on the coffee table, and suddenly there was a sharp pain like a pinprick in his waist, which caught him off guard, and his fat body was unbalanced for a while, "ouch" and lay on the floor with a heavy sound, the fruit in his hand was spilled on the ground, and an apple rolled to the door of Lin Shengjie's bedroom.

The bedroom door opened.

Lin Shengjie appeared at the door lonely, slowly bent down to pick up the big red apple, wiped it casually twice with his hand and nibbled it casually.

Lin Jianshe and his wife Zhao Qiuxia were stunned when they saw this scene, they didn't react for a while, they were originally reflexively competing to help Sun Fatzi, but as soon as their son appeared, they all hung Sun Fatzi there.

Sun Fatzi groaned in pain and wanted to get up, but the old waist seemed to be broken, and the fat in his whole body twitched in pain when he moved slightly.

Lin Shengjie nibbled on the apple, stared at Sun Fatzi expressionlessly, walked over step by step, and then squatted down in front of Sun Fatman, still expressionlessly said: "Stick your tongue out!" ”

When Sun Fatzi heard this, he was stunned.

Lin Jianshe reacted at this time, his son not only came out of the bedroom, but also took the initiative to eat an apple, and even spoke, so excited that they forgot that Sun Fat Man was a guest, and hurriedly shouted at Sun Fat Man in unison: "Hurry up, stick your tongue out!" ”

Sun Fatzi was stunned by the strange atmosphere of this family, and involuntarily stuck out his tongue.

Lin Shengjie glanced at it, then moved to Sun Fatzi's side, grabbed his left wrist first, put the three fingers of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger on the inch mouth one after another, and then three fingers down after a while.

Ten seconds.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a hair dropping.

Lin Shengjie switched to the right side of Sun Fatzi and concocted it in the same way.

"The pulse is slippery and moving, the phlegm is damp and hot, but fortunately, it's not that the waist is broken." Lin Shengjie said solemnly, then looked up at his mother, and said almost in a commanding tone, "Bring a pack of toothpicks." ”

"What?" Zhao Qiuxia didn't react for a while.

"My son asked you to get a toothpick, what are you doing in a daze?" Lin Jianshe shouted excitedly at his wife.

Oh! Howler! ”

Zhao Qiuxia hurriedly found a box of toothpicks and handed them to her son nervously.

"You bear with it first." Lin Shengjie took the toothpick, calmly used the toothpick as a silver needle, and pricked the needle in Sun Fatzi's back.

It's just that this "needle" does not really penetrate the skin, but only presses on the acupuncture points to stimulate the acupuncture points appropriately.

"Huh?"

After a while, Sun Fatzi actually felt that his back pain had been relieved by half, and his waist was much lighter, and he couldn't help but sigh in surprise.

"You've taken a lot of kidney tonics, right?" Lin Shengjie asked in an almost affirmative tone.

"You know that? I've had this old problem of back pain for several years, and I haven't been cured of it when I go to many places, and I don't know how much I have taken Chinese and Western medicine, and it will recur from time to time. A few days ago, I went home to harvest wheat and had back pain again, so I went to the village clinic to get two bottles of Liuwei Dihuang Pills, and yesterday I finished eating these two bottles of medicine, and the back pain was not good at all, it seemed to be more serious. ”

Sun Fatzi suddenly seemed to have met an old Chinese medicine doctor with superb medical skills, and hurriedly told about his illness.

"Hmmm! Took the wrong medicine. Not all back pain can be taken with kidney tonics. Lin Shengjie put away the toothpick and continued, "Now you can get up." ”

Sun Fatzi moved his waist in disbelief, found that it didn't hurt much, and then slowly got up from the floor, still without unbearable pain, and then let out a long breath.

"This is only a temporary relief, and if you want to completely eradicate it, you have to take a decoction for a while." Lin Shengjie transformed into a professional physician and said seriously.

"As long as it can cure my back pain, I am willing to take Chinese medicine for two years!" Sun Fatzi said.

"I'll prescribe a prescription for you first, you find a more reliable pharmacy, grab seven doses first, and you should be able to get better after eating, and then come to me and prescribe a follow-up prescription for you." Lin Shengjie said, walked to the desk, took a pen and paper, and started to open a prescription.

"90 grams of barley, 40 grams of raw atractylodes, 30 grams of astragalus, 3 grams of parsnip, 6 grams of skullcap."

Sun Fatzi got the prescription and asked in disbelief, "Just these few medicines?" ”

"Medicine only has five flavors, don't listen to the bewitchment of pharmacists and clerks in pharmacies when you go to grab medicine, don't buy anything else, just catch the medicine according to the prescription. If they don't catch you on the excuse that astragalus and fengfeng are afraid of each other, then you don't catch fengfeng, and the others are caught according to the prescription, and then go to other pharmacies to buy 21 grams of fengfeng and distribute it into these seven doses. Lin Shengjie advised.

"Good!"

After Lin Shengjie dealt with Sun Fatzi's affairs, he turned to Lin Jianshe and said, "Dad, give me some money, I want to go out to eat alone." ”

"Whoa! Good. Lin Jianshe trembled excitedly and took out his pockets, a total of only a dozen yuan.

"Not enough." Lin Shengjie said indifferently.

Zhao Qiuxia, who was in charge of the family's finances, hurriedly took out a thick stack of red hundred-yuan bills, stuffed them all into her son's hand, and said, "You take it first, and I will get it for you if it's not enough." ”

"That's enough." Lin Shengjie packed up the money and walked away.

He walked out of the door, turned back to him, and said to his parents, who were still in a daze and had not come back to their senses, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll be back safe and sound before twelve o'clock in the evening." ”

After saying that, he quickly went downstairs.

He was going to a place to verify the reality of the sights he had seen in the lake when he was dying.

There are too many weirdness and doubts haunting him, and he has been in a trance for the past few days, and too many things appear in his body and mind, so that he can't tell which ones are real and which are illusory, and he doesn't even dare to determine whether he is really alive or dead at the moment.

It's not that he's cranky, it's that what has happened in the past few days is really incredible.

Upstairs, Sun Fatzi seemed to have met a life-saving fairy, and excitedly patted Lin Jianshe on the shoulder and said, "Brother, it's very deep!" It turns out that your family is an ancestral old Chinese medicine doctor! It's amazing that your son can have such superb medical skills at such a young age! ”

"Huh? Oh! Our Lin family has never heard of a doctor for generations. Lin Jianjian said absentmindedly, his mind was already a mess, and he still thought he was dreaming about his son's performance just now.

"It's all this time, and you're still kidding me?" Sun Fatzi said with a smile.

"I'm not kidding you, I'm still wondering! Not to mention that no one in our family has ever been a doctor, and I haven't seen this kid read a book about Chinese medicine for a day! He must have been kidding you just now, don't take it seriously, throw it away, we're not responsible for anything that happens. Lin Jianshe said that he was going to take the prescription in the hands of Sun Fatzi.

Sun Fatzi dodged away like a baby, and even scolded him with some annoyance: "Brother! How can you do that? Do you really think your son is crazy? Even if the whole world says he's crazy, you can't, you have to believe him at all times. Anyway, I believe that even if he has a problem eating, he is not to blame. ”

"Why are you so stubborn?" Lin Jianshe was in a hurry, for fear that Lin Shengjie's childlike prescription would poke out the basket.

Sun Fat took two steps back, shook his head, and said movingly: "Lao Lin, I won't call you brother, you disappointed me too much." Even if Shengjie is really crazy, I believe him. I can't...... You can't let such a good person chill, otherwise, who will save people in the future? Who would be obligated to be a good person without hesitation? It's not that I'm fat, I almost drowned in the reservoir when I was nine years old, if it wasn't for a good person like Shengjie who saved me at that time, how could I live today? How can you marry a wife and have a daughter? Now that I have encountered Shengjie's incident, as a beneficiary of the past, I can't stand idly by, even if I lose my old life, as long as I can rewarm the hearts of a good person like Shengjie, I am willing,"

When Sun Fatzi said that he was moved, he was a little choked, and he left Lin Jianshe and his wife, who were stunned by him, and walked away in stride.
