Chapter Forty-Eight: The Long Night

The eighth master was immediately carried into the onion Jiexuan, Ruan Shi was startled, and hurriedly ordered Chen's mother to clean up the Luohan bed in the west room, of course he couldn't let him lie on the bed, he was comfortable in bed, let her sleep where, I wanted to clean up the east room, but Chen's mother was worried that the old lady would have an opinion, so she insisted on vacating the west room.

The eighth master witnessed a fight between his aunts a few days ago, accidentally caught a cold, and never paid attention, and ate crabs in a few days in a row, accumulated cold, and his stomach was a little restless.

Earlier, the steward went to invite a doctor to come and see the eighth master's injury, and the neighbor Mrs. Zhong went out to wander, leaving a daughter-in-law who was not suitable for the man to see this kind of injury, and the Chu family was really embarrassed to let the neighbors know about it.

The clerk went to Jiangpu County and invited a doctor who was good at treating bruises. The doctor was also startled when he saw the red appearance of the eighth master, so he went up to help him check, fortunately he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, they were all flesh wounds, and it was scary to watch the skin and flesh bloom, as long as he didn't get a fever, he would slowly get better.

The old lady was not at ease, so she asked the doctor to stay at home for two days, and the Chu family was not short of money and courtesy, so the doctor agreed.

Unexpectedly, the eighth master was really hot that night, and he was even unconscious.

The whole onion Jiexuan was messed up, and the maid kept running, carrying water and boiling medicine, in an endless stream.

The old lady held the eighth master's hand tightly, her eyes were fixed, and occasionally for a round, Ruan had no choice but to sit in the circle chair against the wall in the west room and wipe her tears.

was seen by the old lady, and comforted Ruan with a pale face, "Child, don't be afraid, you are still pregnant, go and rest first, I am here." ”

Ruan, who originally only wanted to express his worries, really shed tears when he heard this.

Xiusun ran over and helped Ruan Shi into the west room with Chen's mother, served her to take off the hairpin ring, and went to bed and lay down.

Ruan Shi stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiusun's tender wrist, and said in a hoarse voice, "Good boy, help me take care of your grandmother." ”

Xiusun's eyes were sour, she nodded solemnly, turned around and closed the door between the pins.

She looked up and saw the old lady, under the pale yellow and bright light, the old lady's face looked extremely old and sallow, and a pair of eyes stared intently at the unconscious eighth master, which was her most important treasure in the world.

Xiusun's eyes blurred in an instant, and the warm light of the sheep's horn lamp drew a golden silk in the blurred world in front of him.

The old lady suddenly smiled miserably, choked up, "I don't care if I don't raise it, it's my mother's fault, it's all my fault, but I blame the child in turn......" The voice was in her throat, extremely remorseful, and desperate.

The doctor and Shen's mother went to boil the medicine, and there were only the unconscious eighth master in the house, as well as their grandparents and grandchildren, but Xiusun knew that the old lady was just talking to herself, and she couldn't share her feelings as a mother.

She rushed over and grabbed the old lady's hand, and held it tightly, feeling that the fingers were dry and rough, trembling slightly, cold and cold, and then she held it tighter.

Xiusun seems to be innocent, but she is a cold temperament in her heart, she has never liked the eighth master, and she knows that her life is not tied to this person, so she has never had any emotions and expectations for him.

She also knew that with the temperament and ability of the old lady and his wife, even if the eighth master went to see the king of Hades at this time, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be able to live well, and they didn't have to worry about it at all. The old fourth room is no better than the long room with a lot of family property in his hands that he is unwilling to let go, they have already divided the family, and the old lady and the wife have a lot of dowry in their hands, as long as the second old lady still wants fame, as long as the uncle of the Ruan family is still willing to help, the big deal, just leave Xiusun at home to recruit a son-in-law.

It's just that for the old lady, the eighth master is not a dispensable object, it is her son who is connected with flesh and blood, even if there is no stupid defect, it can be more worry-free and comfortable, but the loss of relatives and flesh is like picking flesh from the heart, which means eternal lack and empty cold.

And what about the wife? Without this husband who is a stranger, she is certainly less angry, but will she also feel uneasy and regretful?

Xiusun put the old lady's hand on his chest and warmed it, silently praying to God, God, since you once sent me here, can you leave the life of the eighth master today, there are many people here who need him, he is so annoying, so stupid, you better accept him later, let him be in our family for a few more years.

――

That night, the eighth old man was dying, and when Ruan heard the old lady's cry, he stumbled out, and Chen's mother didn't stop him.

She was dressed fairly neatly, just with her hair draped, and she didn't care that the doctor was there.

She had felt many times that it was better not to have this kind of husband, and she was angry that it was better to wait for the eighth master to die early so that she could remarry, but now at this juncture, she was surprised to find that she was still panicking. After all, for women, as long as life can be passable, who would really want to be a widow, although this is not in tune, at least quarrels and fights can't compare to her, if you change one and have to adapt again, it's better to make do.

The doctor prescribed another prescription, and the old lady and Ruan took it and saw that it was actually the medicine of the tiger and wolf.

Knowing that she wanted ginseng as a medicine, Ruan Shi hurriedly ordered Chen's mother to go to the warehouse to take out the thousand-year-old ginseng, in fact, she still had a few hundred-year-old ginseng in the warehouse, which was also very useful, but now that it had reached a critical juncture, she couldn't tolerate any hesitation.

The old lady listened, and held Ruan's hand tightly, sure enough, her daughter-in-law was reliable, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were the people who had the greatest interests with the eighth master, and they were the people who had the closest connection.

After a bowl of medicine, the eighth master's face was still blue and yellow, and the yellow was sickly red, still talking nonsense, and the doctor checked the pulse after half an hour, but said that the medicine began to work.

The exhausted women in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For a whole night, the eighth master's forehead was replaced with one cold kerchief after another, and his body was smeared with strong wine over and over again, until the sky was white, and the eighth master began to cry out softly in pain.

Xiusun picked up the glass of water at hand, moistened it with gauze, and moistened the eight masters' chapped and pale lips.

An hour ago, the doctor announced that the Eighth Master was out of danger.

While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they persuaded Ruan Shi to go to rest quickly, and Ruan Shi did not shirk, and was helped by Ren's mother into the west room.

Xiusun turned around and persuaded the old lady to drag Shen's mother into the east room, where the futon was already laid.

Shen's mother persuaded Xiusun again, and Xiusun waved her hand, "I am the daughter of the master, so I should stay by his side, otherwise when my father wakes up and sees that none of my relatives are there, how sad it should be." ”

Shen's mother had nothing to say, and Xiusun comforted, "Tomorrow when the old lady and wife are rested, I will go and sleep well, mother rest assured, I am a child, and it will be no problem to stay up for a while once in a while." He turned around and went back to Nishijima.

Xiusun changed a handkerchief on the forehead of the eighth master, and moistened her lips with a wet handkerchief again, listening to the eighth master's cry of pain, she continued to slander while relieving her heart, hum, the wounds all over her body were rubbed with strong wine, can it not hurt, she looked at it and felt that the cold hairs all over her body stood up.

I know that I am crying pain, so I should be waking up soon.

As he was thinking, he saw that the eighth master frowned, opened his eyelids, as if he couldn't adapt, closed them again, and after a while, opened his eyes again.

Xiusun had already woken up the doctor who was resting his eyes in the chair against the wall, and stood at the end of the bed.

The bruise on the eighth master's face had faded, and he looked just haggard, sallow, and dry at this time.

Xiusun saw his eyes revolving along the room, and watched her twitch her lips, walked over a few steps, and whispered in her ear, "The old lady and the lady have been with you all night here, and they went to rest an hour ago, and when the day dawns, the old lady and the lady must be happy to see that the father has woken up." ”

When Eighth Master Xiusun said this, his dark eyes flashed with a lot of shame, and his voice was hoarse, "Daddy didn't get lifted, aren't you very unhappy?" ”

He didn't dare to look directly into Xiusun's clear eyes, in his opinion, he didn't finish what a man should do for his family, and he was very sorry for his family.

Xiusun rolled her eyes in her heart, and "cut" it, maintaining a decent smile to comfort the eighth master, "Daddy, what are you talking about, your safety and Kangtai are the most important thing, the old lady is also angry with you, you don't think about what you say and do, I'm worried that you don't know the depth and shallowness of the trouble, you can take the exam next time if you don't win this time, whether you win or not, you are still the old lady's son, aren't you?" ”

When I raised my eyes and saw the eighth master's expression, I was very embarrassed, and I realized that these words were not suitable for my daughter and father, uh...... It's really hard to pretend to be a child.

If Xiusun was a real child, from the moment he saw the eighth old man covered in bruises, he should be so frightened that he cried loudly, and he also needed the old lady and his wife to be distracted and comforted and cared for, and fell asleep crying and crying, and slept until dawn.

Instead of comforting the old lady and his wife since last night, he also served his father very sensibly.

She is not a real child after all, she can't pretend to be helpless when she sees the old lady and his wife so helpless, she can't help but share it together.

She herself was also surprised, how careful she was in her previous life, pretending to be stupid and pretending to be naΓ―ve, and she would make such a low-level mistake in this life.

In the face of a stupid father, she naturally mentioned it, but should it be her turn for her to mention it? The son doesn't say anything about his father, not to mention that he brought up the matter of the eighth master's beating in such a loud way, and rigorously analyzed what he was wrong with.

Alas. It's been a long time since I've been comfortable, and my head doesn't have to run to get cobwebs.

Xiusun glanced at the doctor who was diagnosing his pulse without a trace, and saw that he was attentive, as if he had not heard anything.

He turned his eyes to look at the eighth master, and was just about to ask his father for forgiveness, but he saw him laughing silently, sighed and muttered, "I haven't thought about it carefully when a female doll understands the truth." These 26 years have been in vain. ”

Xiusun remembered that this was the first time she had such a deep heartfelt communication with the eighth master, and it was pitiful to see him like this, so she simply opened the door to send a surprise, and she said, "The old lady and the wife said that I am precocious, and ordinary people do not have it, so don't be jealous, master." ”

The round and white fat little girl tilted her head and said childlike words.

The eighth master wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he pulled the wounds around his body, frowned and pursed his mouth to endure it.

Xiusun hurriedly held the small teacup and fed the eighth master a few sips of water, and the sky was already bright.

Looking at the orange-red sky outside the window, Xiusun let out a long sigh, this long night has finally passed.

If it's really like a play, a play is like life, it's just that there is a time when there is another fold after singing and never stopping.

There is a preview of the shelves, oh, in the works related ...... It's strange that the mobile phone can't be displayed......
