Chapter 257: The Past
It's spring again, the summer of that trance.
After the yellow-eyed boy ran out of his house, the boy who saved him never met him again, and day after day, it gradually became a knot in his heart.
He clearly remembered that the yellow-eyed young man was in a basket of clothes, penniless, and even more injured, which made him very worried, and he was still angry in his heart, but a pair of yellow eyes were not a disaster.
It was another day of scorching heat, the young man accompanied his father up the mountain to harvest the fruit, carrying a big basket of fruits, a hot sweat, at the foot of the mountain, the cicadas in his ears one after another, there was no gap, it was hot, he was even more dry, wrinkled his face, turned his head to the fruit forest on the mountain and cursed, and when he went back to get the sticky rod, he had to catch all of you noisy things and fry them in the oil pan!
I was puffing up and wanted to leave, and the sound of rushing into the side in my ears, a clear and immature voice, but it was talking about killing you, killing you! With such vicious words, his expression changed, and he did not follow his father in front of him, but poked his head out and followed the voice curiously, carrying a basket full of fruits in a half circle.
Several children of seven or eight years old came into view, one by two with their immature faces making the most vicious expressions, holding stones in their hands and throwing them in the same direction, and the young man immediately had the idea of stopping them, and ran quickly with a straight face, and opened his mouth to drink what are you doing! In the afterglow, a figure broke in, and the one who was smashed under the rocks thrown by the naughty boys was the yellow-eyed boy who made him a knot in his heart.
Curled up in a ball and leaning against the root of the mountain, the face was buried in his arms, although he could not see his yellow eyes, but the young man still recognized him at a glance, it was so tattered, there was no second one on this mountain.
"Why are you beating people? Stop it! ”
The roar was louder, the boy raised his hand to knock down the stone thrown out, and turned to grab the hand of these naughty children who were also throwing stones, a few children were also hard, I don't know but look at this boy is only a teenager, not much older than them, not afraid at all, avoiding the boy's movements, a few gathered together and fled away, raised their chins, and said loudly to the teenager very confidently.
"We are for the people! He's a monster, and he's got yellow eyes! Mother said, those with yellow eyes are monsters! ”
The other children pinched their immature throats and echoed the pair, and the young man's hands hanging on his sides were clenched into fists, and he became angry, and spoke to these naughty children again, with a lot more momentum, like adult men, but he succeeded, and stopped these children at once.
"What a youkai! But after growing a pair of yellow eyes, it becomes a monster, this is a person! Living people! The next time I see you bullying people, I'm going to pick off your pants and beat them up! ”
Glaring at the children, his face was already red because of the hot weather, because of the roar of these children, some of them were a little timid, a little boy was stunned by the roar, his mouth was whining and crying, and the tears of beans fell to the ground.
The one who was the leader still had a face that refused to admit defeat, and it should be the child king between them, and when he heard the whining cry, he immediately turned around and raised his hand to grab the scared boy's shoulder.
"Don't cry! What are you crying about, we're right, he's a monster, you don't have to be complacent! It's just a few years older than us, and when we grow up, we'll yell at you! Let's go. ”
The small man lived like a gang boss, putting down cruel words to the teenager, and several people ran away together.
The young man stared at their backs and sighed, muttering in his heart that he didn't know those bastard boys, and then he went to the eyes of the people who were still curled up at the bottom of the mountain, his expression changed instantly, and he whispered to them that it was okay, he had driven those naughty boys away.
His eyes wandered over him, and he looked at several holes that had been smashed by stones, stained with dust and dirt, and frowned slightly.
"You've been stoned! You can go back to my house with me to clean and bandage, what if it suppurates on this hot day? ”
Still staring at the wound and waiting for his echo, there was nothing in his ears except the sound of cicadas, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he tentatively asked if you were okay? He poked the young man on the shoulder, not wanting to slap it, and the man who was curled up in a ball suddenly fell to the ground with a thud like a puppet with a broken string, as if he was dead.
The young man panicked instantly, subconsciously probed his snort, felt a faint heat, and instantly relaxed.
"It's okay, it's okay to be alive."
Seeing him faint to the ground, pursing his lips and holding the person horizontally in his arms, mobilizing most of his strength in his hands, thinking that no matter how thin he was, he was also a man, Xu couldn't be light, he never wanted to lift the person up, and almost threw it into the sky with a force, and looked at the face that passed out in his arms in shock, a living person, but it didn't seem to have the fruit of this basket on his back.
His face was even more ugly, and he raised his feet to run back to his house, but his father and mother showed his face on the last training of him, and his feet in coarse linen shoes were fixed in place, and his body turned and changed direction, and he ran to the doctor's house on the top of the mountain.
The coarse cloth and gray clothes on the body are soaked with sweat, and the beads of sweat on the neck are flowing layer by layer, and the hair is wet a lot, as if they have just come from the water, and they just entered the doctor's yard and shouted that the doctor helped, poured into the ears of the doctor in the room, and stopped the action of diagnosing the pulse of the mountain people, and the mountain people waiting in line in the room also became a little curious, turned their heads to look out of the room, and muttered in their hearts that something was going on, so anxious.
The dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and the young man was tired and panting, and he was about to breathe fire when he opened his mouth, which raised the temperature in the room a lot, like a fireball.
"Doctor! Look at him! ”
Several mountain people recognized the young man at a glance, thinking that something had happened to his family, and hurriedly came to see the person in the young man's arms, but he didn't know him, and immediately frowned, a little puzzled.
Seeing that the young man seemed to be in an urgent situation, the doctor comforted the mountain people in front of him to wait a while, and quickly got up to show the unconscious young man first, the young man had not yet eased up, and retreated while panting and waiting, in the interval of this moment, the mountain people all came up, a pair of eyes still fell on the young man who had passed out, and asked the young man who was wiping his sweat with his sleeves, one or two of them listened to gossip.
"Hey! Sheng family boy! Who is this man? I have lived on the same mountain for so many years, but I don't know that there are still such people in your family. ”
The young man unloaded the fruit basket behind his back and put it at his feet, his clothes were wet with sweat and stuck to his body, and he didn't see much coolness when he flickered his clothes, and the sweat was like rain, even if it couldn't be finished.
"Oh, auntie, this is the person I met on the road, look at him fainted, I don't know if it's heat stroke or what, this summer day, you can't sit idly by, so I brought it to the doctor to take a look."
When a few surrounding mountain people heard this, they dragged a long sound, and suddenly realized the appearance, a pair of eyes still fell on the young man who passed out, his eyes were complicated, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he praised the young man for his good heart, but he didn't even look at him, and he was obviously not careful.
After the doctor had finished checking the young man's pulse and read the injury, he first asked his wife, who was in charge of helping him, to pour a bowl of water for the young man to drink, and then came to talk to the young man who was still not sweating.
"This young man is fine, he is suffering from heat stroke, drink some water, and it will be almost right to slow down in the shade, but this young man is weak, and when he is growing his body, he is so thin, he should not be able to eat or drink water on weekdays, and he also has some external injuries on his body, so he still has to prescribe some trauma medicine to treat it, and it is best to prescribe two pairs of internal medicine to regulate the body."
The young man nodded seriously in the face of the doctor, and after hearing this, he responded without thinking, and it took two seconds to react, he didn't have the money to catch the medicine!
Feeling embarrassed in an instant, his face, which had eased a little, turned red again, and his eyes were fixed on the young man who was still unconscious, seeing that his clothes were torn, and he must have no money, so he was instantly worried.
Because of his yellow pupils, his father and mother didn't want to associate with this young man, let alone give him money for treatment, frowning and thinking about it, it was not a matter to borrow from the mountain people present, and he had to go to his father and mother to ask for it.
His brows furrowed even tighter, and he stared at the basket of fruits at his feet, paused for two seconds, and carried the basket of fruits to the doctors who continued to treat the other mountain people.
"Doctor, let's see, can you just give him the money for the treatment of the external injury, and use this basket of fruit to pay for the treatment."
A face is very sincere, staring at the doctor's eyes shining, pitiful people can't refuse.
The doctor showed a look of embarrassment, the unconscious young man's injuries were not serious, and there was not much money for the treatment of external injuries, so he could indeed take this basket of fruits to pay, but in the end, there were other mountain people present, and they set a precedent for using fruits to pay for medicine.
The doctor hesitated and looked like the young man was in full view, and his body leaned closer to the doctor, and his fresh and clean face looked even more pitiful.
"Doctor, I can't use this basket of fruit to pay for medicine, I'm now twelve, or attached to the family, in the end is a stranger I have never met, I save his mind alone, I don't dare to trouble the family to pay money, can the doctor be accommodating, how much can this basket of fruit be worth, the doctor will grab how much medicine to help him cure."
When the words fell, there was no sound in the room for a while, and the doctor hissed and peeked at the expressions of the other mountain people in the room, and looked at it well, nothing unusual, chanting a word of benevolence of the doctor, whether it was a sign of agreeing, and peeking at the expressions of other mountain people, or like that, so that he dared to completely respond.
"You are kind enough to save people at a young age, it is indeed not good to take silver money, this child with heat stroke looks very pitiful, it doesn't take a few dollars to treat his trauma, he can use that basket of fruit, the outside is hot and breathless, look at you are also sweating, my wife has already grabbed medicine for it, you go to fetch some water, wipe yourself, and also clean up the child who has heat stroke, and wait for the medicine to be served."
"Thank you, doctor, thank you, doctor, Bodhisattva, good people will have good rewards and live a long life."
When the young man heard this, he immediately smiled, bowed again and again, and the doctor smiled more generously and kindly, and waved his hand to let him go.
