As soon as Su Lian said this, Xu Zhenyuan raised his head suddenly, and joy flashed in his eyes, but it dimmed for a moment. He nodded dejectedly and walked into the back room with Su Lian.

The back room was a little dark, but the sun was just right, and the roof windows were shining brightly. On the bed against the wall, a middle-aged woman with a thin appearance and a yellowish face was lying down and resting. She heard someone enter the room, looked sideways, and found that it was Xu Zhenyuan with a strange man, struggled to get up, coughed a few times, and said weakly: "Dad, why did you bring guests here?" ”

Xu Zhenyuan walked over and sat down, held her hand and smiled: "It's the doctor I know, he came to show you." His originally square and shapely, angular face showed a supple warmth that Su Lian couldn't see.

When the woman heard Xu Zhenyuan say this, she immediately pushed him away and said in a muffled voice: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't invite a doctor?" What to do with that unjust money? Sooner or later, you're going to die......"

Su Lian looked at Xu Zhenyuan's embarrassed face and said with a smile: "Aunt Xu, I am friends with Uncle Xu, and I don't charge money." ”

The woman looked at Xu Zhenyuan, saw him nodding, and sighed again: "It's a death to collect money or not, what else is there to see?" ”

"Aunt Xu, it's okay, it's not bothersome to look at it anyway, right?" Su Lian smiled.

Xu Zhenyuan also smiled and said: "Yes, damn, Su Lian is here, just show him, don't worry!" ”

Aunt Xu finally sighed and nodded. Su Lian walked over, first observed her face and eyes for a while, then told her to open her mouth, looked at her tongue, was slightly suspicious in her heart, and checked her pulse again.

"Aunt Xu, let me ask you, do you often have stomach pain?" Su Lian asked.

Aunt Xu nodded. "Isn't it a good appetite? Eating a lot, but still feeling weak? Su Lian asked again.

Aunt Xu nodded again. "You...... Is your stomach slightly swollen? Su Lian asked.

"Yes......" Aunt Xu finally replied and coughed a few more times.

Su Lian saw her coughing, and asked again, "Aunt Xu, your cough was before or after this illness?" ”

Aunt Xu replied: "It's been a long time, and I had this cough before this disease. ”

Su Lian looked at Aunt Xu's face seriously, feeling strange in his heart, and asked Xu Zhenyuan again: "Uncle Xu, what did you say about Lang Zhong you invited before?" ”

Xu Zhenyuan thought about it: "He said...... It's a plague, and there's no cure for it. ”

Su Lian slapped his thigh and sighed lamentingly: "Quimpy...... It's a lot of harm! ”

Xu Zhenyuan said in a daze: "Su Lian, what did you say?" Could it be that Lang Zhong was diagnosed and treated before...... Wrong? ”

Su Lian nodded and said, "Aunt Xu is not a plague at all, it's just ...... It's just a worm in my stomach. ”

"Huh?" Xu Zhenyuan was startled again, and exclaimed, "There are worms in your stomach? This...... This ......"

"Uncle Xu, don't be afraid, it is easy to treat worms in your stomach, and there will be no danger to your life." Su Lian said with a smile.

Hearing Su Lian say good governance, Xu Zhenyuan stood up excitedly and said with a smile: "What? You say my mother-in-law can be cured? ”

"Of course. Aunt Xu is not a serious disease, cough is an old problem, but it is not a plague, it is not fatal, and it can be treated. Su Lian said with a smile, also happy for Xu Zhenyuan.

"That's great!" Xu Zhenyuan's excited hand didn't know where to put it, and he pressed Su Lian's arms, eager to pick him up.

Su Lian said: "I'll write a few flavors of medicine now, you ask Xu Che to follow me to the pharmacy to catch it, and Aunt Xu will get better in a few days." Don't worry! ”

"Good! Okay, fortunately, you can come and take a look, Su Lian, it's been a few years, and I'm ...... I don't know ......" Xu Zhenyuan remembered his previous grievances and anxiety, tears rolled in his eyes, and he didn't look around and said.

"Well, Uncle Xu, it's okay. You have to thank Xu Che, it's good that he brought me here......" Su Lian smiled.

"Hahaha......" Xu Zhenyuan laughed and said, "That's right, this kid...... Xu Che! He shouted loudly, several times in a row, until Xu Che cowered and showed his head by the door.

"Stinky boy, come here!" Xu Zhenyuan's face was full of spring breeze, and he beckoned to Xu Che with a smile.

Xu Che hesitated, but walked over obediently. Xu Zhenyuan didn't wait for him to get closer, he pulled him over and hugged him in his arms, and he didn't know what to say, he just laughed.

At that moment, Su Lian found a pen and paper and wrote down Poria cocos, turnip, neem bark, and black plum, so that the gentleman could take a few flavors of medicine for twenty yuan each, and take them in four times. At the back, I wrote down 30 yuan of pumpkin seeds, which I chewed and took with water every day. took it to Xu Che and said, "I will often accompany your mother in the future, and she will be fine in a few days." ”

"Good!" Xu Che happily agreed.

"Let's go, follow me to the pharmacy to get some medicine!" Su Lian was also relieved in his heart, after all, a tragedy that should not have happened was avoided.

After taking the medicine for Xu Che and laughing with Yu Yanran a few words, Su Lian went home, although there was no one in the county government, but today's surprise really scared his parents and sister, and he had to go back as soon as possible to make them feel at ease. And, it's time to think about leaving.

When I got back to the village, it was getting late. As soon as Su Lian arrived outside the courtyard, he heard some quarrels inside: "...... There must be a great calamity......", he heard his heart skip a beat.

Su Lian pushed open the courtyard door and saw Yu Yuelan pushing a person out of the house, and Su Shunde was also following behind. When the man heard the sound, he turned around and saw that it was Su Lian, and hurriedly greeted him, and said with a smile: "Su family boy, you came back just in time." The old man has something to say to you......"

It turned out to be Mr. Zou. Su Lian smiled: "Old Man Zou is good, come here...... Looking for me? ”

"But isn't it, I'll look for you......" Old Man Zou laughed, and came over to pull Su Lian's arm, but was stopped by Yu Yuelan.

"Old man, I know you are kind, but don't worry about my son's affairs...... "Yu Yuelan said very indifferently, almost without caring about the old man's face.

But Old Man Zou didn't care at all, and still smiled and said: "What I said is serious, don't you don't believe it." This kid's fate ......"

"Old man, don't say it again, you're not welcome to say it!" Yu Yuelan's face can be said to be very ugly.

"Oh, I'm giving him an idea, maybe I can save his life in the future, how can you ......" Old Man Zou still insisted on speaking.

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Yuelan had already pushed him out of the door with both hands, and said as she pushed: "You go!" You keep me away from my son, and don't look for him in the future......" kept pushing him outside the courtyard, and then retreated and closed the courtyard door, Su Shunde also stood aside and was silent.

"Su family boy, listen to me, stay away from those indifferent women in the future, be careful of getting into trouble with the peach blossom disaster, and don't easily believe people's hearts...... Remember......" Old Man Zou stood outside the courtyard and didn't leave, shouting loudly.

Yu Yuelan was angry and angry, she actually picked up the broom in the yard, opened the courtyard door, raised the broom and shouted, "You old immortal...... You let me go...... You can't go or not, you ......"

Hearing the footsteps outside suddenly moving away, Su Lian Wan'er, he didn't expect his mother to have such a fierce side, no wonder his father was afraid of her. As for what Old Man Zou said, he heard it, and he only laughed at it, after all, Old Man Zou's reputation in the village is a magic stick.

"I'm so angry, this old man, how can this be reasonable!" Yu Yuelan returned to the courtyard in a huff and snapped the courtyard door shut.

Su Lian smiled and asked, "Mother, what did Old Man Zou say?" ”

"It's okay, you don't have to pay attention to him!" Yu Yuelan said angrily, dropped the broom, and went to the kitchen to cook. Su Shunde walked to the stone table and beckoned to Su Lian: "Lian'er, how is the county government over there?" ”

Su Lian walked over, sat down and said, "There is no one in the yamen, those officers and soldiers are soldiers in the army, just passing by here." ”

Su Shunde nodded, lit a cigarette gun, and muttered: "Although it's okay today, the officers and soldiers will come back one day." He took out a puff of cigarette and asked, "How will you arrange it in the future, have you thought about it?" ”

Su Lian nodded and said, "Dad, we don't have any relatives in our family, and the only place I can take refuge now is Duoyun Mountain, where Brother Ma Fei's village is." ”

Su Shunde sighed and said: "Just now Old Man Zou said that although you are out of trouble today, you will still encounter many big disasters in the future, but blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. In the end, whether it is a great blessing or a great disaster, it is all in your heart and one thought. It is a great blessing, but there will also be great difficulties. Su Shunde smiled and said: "Of course I don't understand what he said, and your mother even drove him out when he was talking nonsense." I am telling you now, not to make you believe him, but to warn you with his words, no matter where you go, remember this home, pay attention to your body, and protect yourself. ”

Su Lian heard his father's concern and replied, "Dad, I naturally know this. I'm just taking a break from it, and I'll be back. Half a year at the least, a year at most, and I'll go home and see whatever. ”

"If you want to go to that stockade, I won't stop you now." Su Shunde sighed: "But don't be a horse bandit, don't do dangerous things, and don't grudge with the government again." ”

"This ......" Su Lian didn't know whether to agree to his father for a while, after all, when he went to the cottage, there would always be some danger, and he would inevitably negotiate with the officers and soldiers.

After Su Shunde finished speaking, he got up and went back to the house, and without waiting for Su Lian to agree to him, he only dropped a sentence: "Just remember my words, I will persuade your mother again in the evening......"

Yu Yuelan never talked to Su Lian about his leaving home, thinking that Su Shunde should have explained to her. When Su Lian wants to leave, now he only has to decide for himself.

At dinner, the family ate a little silently, I don't know whether they were affected by the news they heard from the officers and soldiers this morning, or because they were frightened by the words of Old Man Zou in the afternoon, and everyone was reluctant to talk more.

Su Lian didn't know what to say, and when everyone had eaten almost enough, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said in a clear voice: "I thought about it, I'm going to go out to avoid it for a while, and go to a cottage called Duoyun Mountain in Daba Mountain in the north, where there is a person I know named Ma Fei, I can stay there for a while." It takes as little as half a year or more than a year to go home to see. He paused as he spoke, saw that his mother and sister were speechless, and said, "We will leave early the day after tomorrow." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Yuelan's eyes turned red, and she stood up angrily and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, crackling, and quickly turned around and walked into the kitchen, and after a while, Su Lian heard a low sobbing sound coming from inside.

His heart was blocked, and when he looked at his father Su Shunde, he didn't seem to hear it, so he only sighed silently, and turned around and went into the room directly. Su Lian looked at Su He again, but saw that she didn't know when she had burst into tears.

Su Lian was about to say comfort, but Su He rushed and said, "Brother, I'm ...... Can I go with you? ”
