Chapter 41: Xia Wuqi reported the funeral
"Is Brother Zhang at home?"
Xia Wuqi knocked on the knocker a few times, and then shouted softly into the house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Toot, toot, toot......"
The sound of the wooden staff hitting the ground came from the low grass house again, and then Zhang Kui's father once again moved towards the door with great difficulty.
"Who?"
Zhang Kui's father asked as he opened the door.
When Xia Wuqi heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Oh, it's the little brother, Xia Wuqi." ā
As soon as Xia Wuqi's words fell, he only heard a "squeak", and the dilapidated door that was originally closed opened again.
"Oh, it turned out to be Doctor Xia, it's really a long way off...... It's a long way off...... Hehe......" Zhang Kui's father said with a smile as he bowed.
For Lao Zhang, today is really a day worthy of the memory of Lao Zhang's family. Because in just half a day, two of the most famous doctors in Zhao Guo actually took the initiative to come to their homes. For a while, Lao Zhang's vicissitudes of life and old face became a little flushed because of his extreme excitement.
Seeing this, Xia Wuqi hurriedly replied: "Brother Zhang said that he laughed, it's good to call the kid Wuqi, I don't know how Brother Zhang is lately?" ā
"Hey...... Good, good, life is pretty quiet now. Now that the sun is shining, please ...... in the Xia Shen Doctor's House Hehe......" Zhang Kui's father was full of smiles, and as he spoke, he reached out to lead Xia Wuqi into the house.
Xia Wuqi didn't want to enter the house, so he finished talking about things directly outside the house. However, the actual situation was not as easy as Xia Wuqi imagined, and Xia Wuqi, who didn't know how to speak, had to follow Lao Zhang into the house.
Unlike Zhao Ji's house, because Zhang Kui's house is maintained all year round, the house is very dry and refreshing. The sun was scorching outside, but as soon as you entered the house, there was a chill in your heart.
Lao Zhang gave up the best chair in the house to Xia Wuqi, and he leaned directly on the stove. At this time, Zhang Kui's mother lay motionless on the kang and seemed to be asleep again.
Xia Wuqi sat down and looked at Lao Zhang's empty trousers, and then asked with great concern: "Brother Zhang, does your broken leg still hurt on rainy days, how have you been these days?" ā
Zhang Kui's father didn't expect that today, Doctor Liu and Xia Wuqi, two people with such status, would care about him, and then he was so moved that he couldn't help wiping away his tears.
Zhang Kui's father smiled very plainly, wiped the tears in his eyes and replied, "Hehe...... Thank you Doctor Xia for your concern. Hi! Actually, it's nothing, I'm used to it after so many years, hehe......"
"Alas...... That must be very inconvenient in life! Over the years, Brother Zhang has worked really hard! In this way, it's still the same, if you have any headaches and brain fever in the future, just look for a kid! As for the old sister-in-law, the kid will come over regularly to take a look. Looking at Lao Zhang's current appearance, Xia Wuqi's heart was pantothenic acid for a while.
Lao Zhang looked at Xia Wuqi very movingly, and suddenly knelt on the ground and whimpered in a low voice: "Zhao Guo can have two people, Xia Shenyi and Liu Laoshan, it is really a blessing for our old Zhao people!" ā
Xia Wuqi was taken aback by Lao Zhang's actions, hurriedly helped him up and said, "Brother Zhang is serious. If the 'Battle of Changping' had not been stained with your blood on the battlefield back then, where would there be today's Zhao Kingdom! ā
"Hey...... Doctor Xia, don't look at Lao Zhang, now he only has one leg left, he is a waste! But if the Qin barbarians still dare to invade my Zhao country, Lao Zhang, I will definitely go to the battlefield again and swear to defend the country to the death! Lao Zhang stood up with great difficulty, made a very standard assassination action in the air with the crutches in his hand, and said with a resolute expression.
"The veteran doesn't die, he just quietly disappears"
This is a quote from Douglas MacArthur, but now it has a different flavor when applied to Lao Zhang, a veteran of Zhao State.
"Brother Zhang......"
Looking at Lao Zhang, whose eyes were extremely resolute, Xia Wuqi's heart seemed to be blocked by a big stone.
"Alas...... Poor old Zhang, I ...... Hiss...... How can I open my mouth to him! Xia Wuqi finally understood why Old Doctor Liu asked him to be cautious when reporting the funeral.
Xia Wuqi thought for a while and asked softly, "Brother Zhang, where is Kuizi?" ā
"Kuizi, hehe...... I was called away by Dr. Liu early in the morning! said that Kuizi had some strength, so let Kuizi help go to Handan to collect some medicine! Hey...... Kuizi can do things for Old Doctor Liu, it is really a blessing for Kuizi! Hearing Xia Wuqi's question, Lao Zhang replied excitedly.
When Xia Wuqi heard Lao Zhang say this, his face changed instantly, and then he asked, "Huh...... The kid was also collecting medicine on Hanshan Mountain in the morning, why didn't he meet Kuizi? This Hanshan is so big, there is no reason why you can't meet Kuizi? ā
"Hmm...... I guess I just missed it! If it's in the mountains, this situation is inevitable! Lao Zhang replied with a smile.
Xia Wuqi didn't speak when he heard this, he knew that what Lao Zhang said also had some truth.
"Maybe it's just a matter of time difference, so I missed the whole thing!" Xia Wuqi said secretly in his heart.
Just when Xia Wuqi was thinking in his heart, Lao Zhang handed a bowl of pottery bowl full of water to Xia Wuqi, and then said, "I don't know what happened to Doctor Xia coming to the cold house this time?" Doctor Xia should not be polite to Lao Zhang, but wherever Lao Zhang can be used, Doctor Xia directly said that Lao Zhang is there! ā
Lao Zhang said this, but it made Xia Wuqi embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do for a while. After thinking about it in his mind for a while, Xia Wuqi turned his heart sideways and said, "Uh...... The kid has one thing to tell my brother, it's not too early to delay! ā
"Huh?"
Lao Zhang saw that Xia Wuqi's conversation and expression were not right, and then asked: "My Lao Zhang is still the same sentence, if you have any instructions from Doctor Xia, just say, my old Zhang will listen to Doctor Xia!" ā
"No, no...... It's not my thing, but ...... It's your family's. Speaking of this, Xia Wuqi's face began to look a little ugly.
"Shhh...... My home...... Not...... Is it that bastard boy Kuizi is making trouble for Old Doctor Liu, and Old Doctor Liu is not easy to come forward, so let Doctor Xia talk about you? Damn, I can't smoke this bastard kid when he's back! Zhang Kui's father knew that his child was a demon king of the mixed world, so he couldn't control him because he was disabled, so he could only watch him gang up outside. Now that he heard Xia Wuqi say that it was his own business, he naturally thought about it.
As soon as Xia Wuqi heard Zhang Kui's father say this, his heart became even more uncomfortable, his nose was sore, and his eyes turned red.
Xia Wuqi knew that if he told Lao Zhang the truth directly, with Lao Zhang's temperament, it was estimated that he would be angry if he couldn't get out of this house, after all, this was his only descendant. Thinking of this, Xia Wuqi pretended to be helpless and said, "Alas...... Kuizi is good everywhere, but he likes to fight with others when he has nothing to do. Hehe...... No wonder, boy! ā
When Lao Zhang heard Xia Wuqi say this, his old face instantly became a little unbearable.
"I can let you come to the house to talk about things, this kid must have gone to the sky this time! Doctor Xia, you tell Lao Zhang, where is this kid now? Lao Zhang asked with a dark face.
"Uh...... On the banks of the Zhu River...... "Xia Wuqi replied."
Lao Zhang stood up without saying a word, and walked out of the grass house angrily on crutches......
