Chapter 54 There is no cure for the sick
When Xia Jingyu took Su Xiuxiu back to the small fishing village, it was quite a bit of a taste of returning to the hometown, compared to the small fishing village, Xia Jingyu and Su Xiuxiu wore ordinary cloth clothes, which were fairy clothes.
Along the way, Su Xiuxiu was extremely quiet, and followed closely behind Xia Jingyu, even if she was a little surprised when she saw the scene of the small fishing village at first, she quickly retracted, her eyes and nose looked at her nose, and her nose looked at her heart. Although the person who can take out a few thousand copper plates at a time should be a rich man, no one stipulates that rich people can't live here, so Su Xiuxiu makes up for himself.
Entering Duan Jinxiu's house, Xia Jingyu couldn't help but have a sour nose when he saw the familiar hut, it was the meal, Si'er ran out, hugged Xia Jingyu's legs, tilted his head, and called sweetly: "Sister, you're back." ”
Xia Jingyu untied the small cloth bag on his body, took out the sugar gourd, and handed it to Si'er.
Si'er took the sugar gourd, stood there stunned, his eyes were full of curiosity, poked the crystal appearance of the sugar gourd with his little hand, and scratched his head: "What is this?" ”
"It's a sugar gourd, it's delicious. Si'er, take it and eat it. Xia Jingyu suddenly wanted to cry, Si'er, who had never been out of a small fishing village, didn't even know the sugar gourd, she was afraid that her tears would be discovered by Si'er, so she turned her head, Su Xiuxiu was also curious to look at this scene, although Su Xiuxiu was a beggar, but she grew up in the city, she never thought that in those remote corners, there were poorer people with a narrower vision.
There were ten sugar gourds in a bunch, and Si'er carefully took off two of them, stuffed them into Xia Jingyu, and gave two to each of his parents, and finally, four children, one for each person.
Xia Jingyu's tears finally fell, she gave the sugar gourd in her hand to Su Xiuxiu, wiped away her tears, Si'er was holding the sugar gourd, licking the outermost rock sugar with a happy face, and after licking the rock sugar, he carefully gnawed the hawthorn inside, obviously it was just a sugar gourd, but he was like holding a treasure, as if this was a priceless treasure in the world.
Duan Jinxiu came out, looked at Xia Jingyu, and then looked at Su Xiuxiu beside him, and greeted the two inside: "Have you found your family?" What are you doing standing outside, come in. ”
Xia Jingyu saw that Duan Jinxiu's family's food was very simple, in the rough small bowl, I don't know what was put into a ball, the eldest son was lying on the edge of the bed, his tanned face showed blue marks, one hand pressed on his stomach, frowning in pain.
"What's wrong with the eldest son?" Xia Jingyu asked.
Duan Jinxiu glanced at the eldest son casually: "I don't know, she yelled that her stomach was swollen, it was indeed very swollen, and she stopped working these days and rested at home, it was better to be swollen than hungry." ”
Xia Jingyu rushed to the side of the bed, lifted the quilt, the thin torn clothes could not cover the girl's bulging belly, Xia Jingyu carefully uncovered the clothes, the girl's skinny ribs were visible, she was thirteen years old, but there was no trace of development at all, she was completely a small dry dish, and her belly was round like a leather ball.
Xia Jingyu accidentally touched her stomach, and the eldest son burst into tears in pain, biting his lip and not making a sound, his expression was still blank.
Su Xiuxiu poked her head out from behind, opened her mouth, and didn't say anything.
Xia Jingyu asked Duan Jinxiu: "It's all like this, why don't you call the doctor." ”
Duan Jinxiu took a step back and pinched her clothes: "It's not a serious illness, how can a child be so pampered, besides, there is a ...... at home" She sighed, and her eyes were red, "Whose child didn't survive like this, my Mr. Yuan is more than that, and those who stay now are hard-hitting." ”
Xia Jingyu also understands her suffering: "When I went to look for my relatives, I left my sister behind. She retreated Su Xiuxiu to the front, and Su Xiuxiu did not refute, she obediently greeted Duan Jinxiu, which provoked Duan Jinxiu to boast directly, looking at the girl's style, everyone came out at a glance.
Speaking of this, Xia Jingyu also had to admit that although Su Xiuxiu was a beggar, she was quiet, and everyone could think that she was a middle-class, well-educated child, but she was fierce, completely a violent beast, not even like a girl.
"I still have some money at home, I don't have much money there, I sold it, I came here, I know my aunt here, and I have a little to take care of." Xia Jingyu made up lies very smoothly.
"I want to say that I will repay the eldest mother, but the eldest mother may not agree, but the eldest son's illness, I have to take her to the city for treatment." It's a city, but it's actually just a small town.
Duan Jinxiu felt sorry for her daughter in the end, Xia Jingyu found Wang Da who pulled the car, gave Wang Da five copper plates, and asked him to take a few of them into the city.
Five copper plates are nothing to Xia Jingyu, she has the ability to come up with more money, but this world is sinister, and her current situation is not suitable for being too public, Su Xiuxiu looked at the ecstatic Wang Da, and her eyes widened in surprise, she was puzzled, what can five copper plates do for an adult.
The eldest son couldn't walk anymore, and was carried into Wang Da's broken car, and when she got into the car, she could see that she was in pain, but in her stiff expression, there was a slight smile on the corner of her lips, but in an instant, she became expressionless again.
Xia Jingyu sat next to her, touched her head, and looked at her from the age of the body (?) He was only three years older than the eldest son, but he looked much healthier, and the eldest son grinned at her in a small voice: "I'm not going to die." ”
Xia Jingyu adjusted her to a comfortable lying position and comforted her: "You are still so young, how can you die?" ”
"It's uncomfortable... Get... Want to die. The eldest son said intermittently, his face was still ugly, but the light of life was jumping in his eyes.
Xia Jingyu don't look over, who can pay attention to this girl who is silent all day long, and she also has her lowest desire for life in her heart.
I found a medical center in the town, Wang Da's board car smelled of fish, coupled with Wang Da's tattered clothes, the medicine boy guarding the door was disgusted and wanted to drive people away, shouting in his mouth: "If you can't pay for medicine, don't come, this is not a relief house, let Jean, your smell makes our hospital can't open." ”
Wang Da stood aside embarrassedly, and nodded humbly to the medicine boy: "Yes, yes, what you said...... But ......"
The medicine boy listened impatiently, and his hands were still making movements like chasing flies, as if Wang Da was just a disgusting fly, Su Xiuxiu stood aside and clenched her fists, and snorted coldly in her mouth: "Dogs look down on people." Xia Jingyu pulled her back, and she always felt that this girl might even rush out on the spot and punch the medicine boy in the face.
Xia Jingyu got out of the car without hurry, and stuffed two or three copper plates into the medicine boy's hand, and the medicine boy looked at Xia Jingyu a few times, and said lazily: "You take the patient in, the one who catches the car, stay outside." ”
Xia Jingyu smiled apologetically at the king, Wang Da got the benefit of five copper plates, hugged the eldest son, and pushed the cart to a farther place to wait.
The old doctor finished diagnosing the pulse of the eldest son, and he was not in a hurry to prescribe medicine, so he looked at Xia Jingyu with a smile: "This disease needs to be recuperated, the rule for me to see a doctor here is not to prescribe medicine, you can only take medicine from me, ten copper plates a day, I will prescribe medicine to you if you can afford it, and if you can't afford it, hurry up." ”
As soon as the eldest son heard ten copper plates a day, his eyes instantly darkened, their family couldn't earn a few copper plates for a year, and their weekday work was just enough to eat, she trembled and pulled Xia Jingyu's sleeve: "Sister, I'm gone... Go home. ”
Xia Jingyu took out ten copper plates and handed them to the doctor: "You prescribe a day's medicine first." ”
Seeing that it was ten copper plates, the doctor smiled disdainfully, took a piece of paper, wrote the dragon flying and phoenix dance, handed it to the medicine boy on the side, and took it to prescribe medicine.
Xia Jingyu glanced at the side, and couldn't understand it at all, it turned out that ancient and modern doctors like to write words that people can't understand.
However, later it turned out that Xia Jingyu couldn't understand the text of Nangudao at all.
