Sixty-six, ghosts

On the day when he found a suitable porridge cooking utensil, Da Niu also went down to the river at four o'clock in the afternoon to touch the stone snails as usual. Forrest gump

Stone snail, He Xiaojun doesn't know what its scientific name is? Because it is a snail that grows on a stone attached to the river, the locals call it a stone snail.

The snail is only as big as an adult's little knuckle, and because it has been adsorbed on the stones by the river for many years, it has always resisted the impact of the river and will not be washed away, so its flesh is tough and crispy, and the taste is extremely refreshing.

Since the stones on which the snails grow are soaked in water, the stones are covered with moss. In addition, the stones soaked in the water are uneven and intertwined from the water, and if you are not careful, you will slip or get injured.

In the process of touching the stone snail, the big cow accidentally slipped his foot and was cut on his calf.

The cut calf wound of the big cow was deep and cracked like a child's mouth.

Da Niu didn't care much about his injury, he casually pulled an unknown straw on it, and treated it as if it was fine, and limped to work.

After He Xiaojun saw Da Niu's wound, he said that the wound was too big, and if it was not treated, it would be difficult to heal, and besides, the weather was hot at this time, and if the wound did not heal, it was also easy to get infected.

So, He Xiaojun didn't care whether Da Niu was willing or not, and dragged him to the missionary who knew how to treat his wounds in the city, and wanted to stitch up his wounds.

There is a church next to the railway station in the county seat, which is a Christian church, and the locals call it "Chapel".

This "chapel" has been preserved until 2,100 years after He Xiaojun's previous life.

After settling in the county seat, He Xiaojun heard about the situation of this church from his customers who were of three religions and nine ranks.

Probably due to the large number of overseas Chinese in Haishan, the church built this church in this small place in Ningcheng, and also sent missionaries and nuns to preside over this church.

On weekdays, in addition to worshipping and entertaining a few congregants in the city, the church is responsible for missionary work in the local area, and provides medicine to the local people to relieve the local people's sickness and pain.

The current bishop and missionary of the Ningcheng Church is an American, surnamed Schmidt, and the people in the city are called "Mr. Schmidt".

What He Xiaojun didn't expect was that the big cow who was not afraid of heaven and earth, after seeing the missionary named "Mr. Schmidt", he shouted "ghost guy" as if he had seen a ghost alive, and pulled He Xiaojun to go back, and he didn't let the "ghost guy" touch him this year.

"Ghost guy" is the name of He Xiaojun's hometown for foreigners, and I don't know whether this title comes from the fact that the appearance of foreigners is similar to the legendary ghosts, or because people hate the foreigners' traditional aggression against our country.

Ghost was synonymous with being terrible in that uncivilized era, especially in the more isolated countryside, so it's no wonder that the big cow, who is usually not afraid of heaven and earth, was very abnormal after seeing the "ghost guy" for the first time.

He Xiaojun had to explain a lot to Da Niu, saying that this "ghost guy" was the race of the "Golden Mountain" that the old man Chen Chi and they went to, and he was not a ghost. He also said that the "ghost guy" is not only not a ghost, but his profession as a missionary is similar to that of a Taoist priest in China, and he is a person who preaches and suppresses evil spirits.

Then, He Xiaojun told Da Niu that after the treatment here, the wound would heal at least half a month earlier.

After He Xiaojun said a basket of soft and hard words, Da Niu reluctantly agreed to let this "ghost guy" be treated.

The only church in the city has a special treatment room for the sick and wounded to be treated.

Because Da Niu was scared, he didn't dare to face the "ghost" alone, so he grabbed He Xiaojun's hand and insisted that he accompany him in.

He Xiaojun had no choice but to say hello to the missionary and accompany Da Niu into the treatment room.

After entering the treatment room, He Xiaojun, who had some experience in this area, asked Da Niu to lie on the operating table with his stomach, so as not to cause panic when he saw the stitches on his body like sewing clothes, and lest he see the "ghost guy" causing nervousness when he moved on his injuries.

At the same time, He Xiaojun talked to Da Niu about other topics that he was interested in, trying to eliminate his nervousness and distract him.

When the missionary and the two nuns saw He Xiaojun, who was still a big child, and had such a cooperative demeanor, they were surprised at first, and then couldn't help but exchange an appreciative look.

The "ghost guy" also gave He Xiaojun a thumbs up. After He Xiaojun smiled back at the "ghost guy", he motioned for him to hurry up.

The operation to close the wound went smoothly, but it took about ten minutes, and the "ghost" missionary had already stitched up the wound of the big cow and asked the nun nurse to bandage it.

Due to the effect of anesthesia, Da Niu's legs were not yet felt, so the missionary suggested to He Xiaojun that Da Niu lie down for a while and wait for the anesthesia to pass before leaving.

He Xiaojun, who has experience in this area, naturally has no problem with this reasonable proposal of the missionary.

Just when He Xiaojun was waiting in the treatment room with Da Niu, he found the kind of container suitable for rolling porridge.

The container suitable for rolling porridge that He Xiaojun took a fancy to was the iron box used to hold syringes in the treatment room.

It turned out that after the nun nurse had packed up her post-operative work, she put the surgical equipment and the needles she had just injected into a tin box, added some liquid, and then put the tin box on a burning alcohol lamp for high temperature sterilization.

After seeing the tin box and the nun nurse working, He Xiaojun's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This tin box is just enough for the capacity of a bowl of porridge, and from the work of the nun nurse, He Xiaojun already knows that the box will not leak and can withstand high temperatures.

In addition, the tin box is equipped with a handle made of iron wire, which is easy to hold and can also prevent scalding, this is not the most suitable porridge container?

After glancing at the treatment room and finding that there were several of the same boxes inside, He Xiaojun couldn't sit still any longer, and he immediately brought in the "ghost" missionary Smithra, who had already left the treatment room, and asked him to buy a few of these boxes.

After figuring out He Xiaojun's intentions, Schmidt shook his head like a drum. He said, everything here is set up by the church, so how can it be sold casually?

After He Xiaojun spent a lot of words, I don't know if the "ghost guy" Schmidt couldn't hear what he said, or he wouldn't be flexible, but he kept shaking his head while "NO, NO" non-stop.

In fact, in the Chinese language, Schmidt is proficient in the vernacular, and his Haishan dialect is very lame. He Xiaojun only saw this Schmidt for the first time, of course, he didn't know that he could speak vernacular, and since he met Schmidt, this "ghost guy" has been speaking lame Haishan dialect, so He Xiaojun used Haishan dialect to communicate with him.

Although Schmidt has been in Haishan for more than two years, he is familiar with the local unique language that has nothing in common with the vernacular, so the more He Xiaojun speaks and the faster he speaks, the more he can't listen.

After He Xiaojun said something more, Schmidt, who didn't know why at all, was in a hurry, and in a hurry, he came out of the language he was most familiar with, "hat?" hat? ”

He Xiaojun, who came from the era of universal English education in his previous life, of course knew some commonly used English, so he was in a hurry, so he continued to speak Schmidt's language without thinking.

However, He Xiaojun's English is only similar to that of Schmidt... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
