Chapter 198: The World is Impermanent

Ah Xiu followed Gu Shijiu to the house of the fish seller, and his wife was an ordinary-looking fisherwoman.

Like Sister He, although her son is only in his teens and only twenty-eight or nineteen years old, she looks like he is already in his forties.

She saw Ah Xiu and them coming, with a hint of vigilance on her face.

Her man just passed away yesterday, and someone came to her door today.

To say that there is no connection, she doesn't believe it.

"Who are you?" A man took the lead and looked at Gu Jingling, his face full of hostility.

In his opinion, he was the last person to threaten this group.

"We bought your fish yesterday." Ah Xiu stepped forward slightly and said.

She looks sweet, baby-faced, and doesn't feel threatened.

The man saw that it was a little girl, and his face softened a little.

"My brother-in-law died of a sudden illness yesterday, so if you still want to buy fish, come back in a few days." He thought it was just a repeat customer.

His brother-in-law has a lively mouth and sells fish sincerely, and there will indeed be a lot of repeat customers, but this is the first time he has come to the door.

"This big sister." Ah Xiu did not respond to the man's words, but looked at the woman who was guarding the child in the center: "Did your husband die after eating a belly fish yesterday?" ”

The woman originally looked sluggish, but when she heard Ah Xiu ask, she suddenly became excited.

looked at Ah Xiu fiercely: "What the hell are you here for!" ”

Ah Xiu's expression remained unchanged, with a hint of a light smile: "I just said it." We bought fish from your man yesterday, and he gave us a couple of belly fish. ”

When the woman heard this, she stumbled, sat down on the ground, and cried, "You have been stabbed a thousand times, how have you hurt yourself, and you have harmed others!" ”

Ah Xiu was slightly stunned.

But she reacted immediately, she was making the first move.

The woman knew that the fish was poisonous, so when she heard Ah Xiu say this, her first reaction was that Ah Xiu and their side also died.

She was afraid to take responsibility. Just start crying. Put the blame on her own dead husband.

In fact, as an orphan and widow, there is nothing wrong with her behavior, after all, there is no money in the family, and there are children to raise. If it was Ah Xiu, they insisted on compensation. She can't even afford to smash the pot and sell iron.

Ah Xiu was even a little surprised by her reaction. It's so agile.

"Eldest sister, don't cry yet, we are not dead." Ah Xiu took two steps forward. It's just that he wanted to go forward again, but he was stopped by Gu Jingling taking a step.

He shook his head at her slightly, motioning for her to stop going.

Ah Xiu nodded and stopped.

When the woman heard Ah Xiu say that there were no dead people, her expression calmed down a little, and her crying was gone, but she continued to wipe her tears with her hands, and her eyes secretly glanced at Ah Xiu a few times, "Then what are you here for?" ”

"Although there are no dead people, some people have drunk the blow belly fish and suffered a lot of toss, so I want to ask if you still have any fried belly fish." Ah Xiu took another small step forward and said.

Gu Jingling saw that the woman's mood was still stable now, so she didn't stop Ah Xiu's movements anymore.

"Didn't you die after drinking?" The woman's eyes lit up, and she suddenly wilted again, knowing what the method was for, he was already dead.

"Yes, the main thing is that the discovery is more timely." Ah Xiu nodded.

The woman remembered that last night, afraid of waking herself, she had died of pain outside, and tears fell down at once.

If the crying just now was still a bit of a drama, then today's tears are really sincere.

Big tears fell down, accompanied by soft sobbing, such crying made the onlookers look even more sad.

Ah Xiu sighed softly, and the words he was about to say were also stuck in his throat, "Sister, people can't be resurrected after death, mourn." ”

Although this seemed so pale and weak, there was only so much she could do.

The woman wiped her eyes with her sleeve, sniffed hard, got up from the ground, and said, "The belly fish was brought back by my man unintentionally, this belly fish is small and does not have much meat, and most people throw it back directly, only my man, greedy for this cheapness." ”

That being said, she knew that he was for the family.

Now that he is pregnant with another one in his belly, he wants to earn more money and buy some good ones for the children.

Yesterday, I cooked the belly fish, and I couldn't smell the fish soup because I was pregnant, and the child happened to be at my mother's house, so he ate it alone.

Who knew that such a bowl of fish soup would kill him.

At first, she didn't think it was a problem with the fish soup, because half a year ago, when she was not pregnant, she also drank this fish soup, and the taste was very delicious.

She really didn't understand why it was just half a year apart, but the same fish soup would be deadly poisonous.

"Did he give it to someone else before?" Ah Xiu asked, if it is sent out and the other party has not eaten it, maybe there is still a chance to make amends.

"Such a small fish, where is it embarrassing to sell, everyone around here is fishing, and they are embarrassed to give it away, they usually eat it themselves, I don't know, he actually gave it back to you yesterday, this time there are only a dozen in total, and there are five or six left when I cooked it yesterday." The woman sighed and said.

If it is calculated in this way, he may only give it to Wang Chuan'er.

If that's the case, it's not the worst.

"This belly fish, there are toxins all over the body, and if it is not handled well, it will be poisoned, although the taste is extremely delicious, but life is more important."

"We don't know." When the woman heard this, she began to weep again, and if she had known, she would have been too poor to eat.

The men of her mother's family also looked away.

A few days ago, everyone was still happy for them, and they were pregnant with a child again, who knows......

Alas, who knew that this fish could kill people!

"If someone catches this fish in the future, you can see it, please remind you too, we are really disturbed by coming here, you can take this silver and bury him well." Ah Xiu took out a small embroidered bag, which contained about five taels of silver.

She has a lot of these small embroidery bags, all of which are made by Peony in her spare time, and they all contain some small pieces of silver.

These five taels of silver are not much, but they are not too little.

Although Ah Xiu has the ability to provide more, she is not a big philanthropist after all.

"No, no." The woman waved her hand again and again, her man's fault had caused others to suffer, if only they could compensate for it, where would she dare to ask for their money!

"You just take it, there is no man in this family, you are pregnant again, you have to rest, and you are now in a disordered pulse, it is better to leave this matter to others to deal with, lest the child cannot be saved." Ah Xiu persuaded him.

Ah Xiu originally only felt a little embarrassed, but later found out that she was pregnant, so she thought of giving away money.

Before the child was born, the father died, alas......

"How do you know I'm pregnant?" The woman's face was surprised, she was only three months pregnant, and she was wearing thick clothes, how could she know?

"My hand just got to your pulse." Ah Xiu said that in fact, she could detect it before taking the pulse.

As a doctor, there are some aspects that are much sharper than others, and from her complexion and body shape, you can also see a lot.

This pulse is disordered, but it is indeed out of it.

"You're a doctor?"

"Big sister just treated my brother, she's amazing!" The eldest girl said on the side, she originally thought that if there was a quarrel, then there would be a place for her.

As a result, there was only now room for her to interject.

"This is the eldest girl of the He family." Only then did the woman notice that there was still a big girl.

The He family and the Wang family live closely, and the stalls of the two families are placed together, and the relationship is good.

She also comforted the sister-in-law of the He family before, but after half a year's effort, it was her turn......

"Aunt Wang, this big sister is fine, you have to listen to her carefully." The big girl said like an adult.

She had just heard from them that Aunt Wang was pregnant, and she knew that this meant that she had a baby in her belly.

When Ah Niang had a younger brother in her belly before, she lay at home for a long time.

"I ......" she touched her belly, but didn't know what to say.

"You relax, first adjust your body, if you have time, you go to Gaoyang Hutong, I will live there, and I will give you a good pulse when the time comes." Ah Xiu patted her hand.

"Thank you, big girl."

Before Ah Xiu was embarrassed by the title of this "big sister", she felt the back of her hand burn, and her heart suddenly became sour.

The parting of life and death is the most sentimental.

"Sister, you are a doctor, can you save my father?" A little boy who had been staring at this side suddenly spoke.

Ah Xiu guessed that he should be the son of the fish seller.

Ah Xiu shook his head: "I'm just a doctor, I can only save people, not immortals." ”

Even modern technology cannot save the dead, let alone now.

"But......" The little boy looked at Ah Xiu with red eyes, didn't he say that the doctor could cure any disease?

"Ah Chuan, don't talk about this, you go in quickly and change your father's life clothes." The woman snapped.

Then he looked at Ah Xiu apologetically: "The child is not sensible." ”

"It's okay, you have a good rest, let's take our leave first." Ah Xiu finally stuffed the small embroidered bag into the woman's palm, and took Gu Shijiu and them away.

From the very beginning, he wanted to find someone to seek justice for Wang Chuan'er, but now, Ah Xiu only feels the fragility of life and the impermanence of the world.

The woman first looked at Ah Xiu and his party, got into the carriage, and walked away slowly, and then looked down at the embroidery bag in her hand, and tears fell again. (To be continued......)
