Chapter 2 Mother-Child Narrative Doubts abound
Liu You only looked at the "Female Doctor's Miscellaneous" in his hand, and Li Shuo came in with millet porridge and didn't hear it. This is a manuscript, the handwriting is beautiful, if you are not mistaken, it should be the author Tan Yunxian handwriting.
Tan Yunxian is a famous female doctor in the Ming Dynasty, especially good at gynecology and pediatrics, he is a famous doctor, and shrewd history, and knows a lot about his nature. To his amazement, how could such a precious thing be used as a table leg? Could it be that the mother of this body, what is the intersection with that Tan Yunxian?
"You can read a book when your body is just right, and your body will be better in the future, and you will have time!" Li Shuo said half-angrily and half-resentfully, while putting the millet porridge on the kang table.
"You...... Mother, do you know the owner of this book? This book, can't it really be written by Tan Yunxian himself? ”
Li Shuo was stunned and said, "You really don't remember anything?" ”
Liu You nodded awkwardly: "Well, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with my brain, but I can't remember a lot of things before...... Seriously, when I first woke up, I didn't believe that you were my mother, you are so young and so beautiful, how can you have a son as old as me! ”
Hearing Liu You praise himself for his beauty, a touch of sadness flashed in Li Shuo's eyes, but she was quickly covered by a smile, and she sneered: "Stinky boy, you are seriously ill, you can speak!" It seems that you really don't remember anything, so it's okay to forget, as long as the person is okay. ”
As she spoke, she moved the kang table next to Liu You, motioned for him to drink porridge, and at the same time took the book "Miscellaneous Words of the Female Doctor" from his hand, sat on the edge of the kang, and said: "Speaking of this goddess doctor, but our benefactor, if it weren't for her granddaughter, our mother and son would not be alive now." ”
It turned out that this was the ninth year of Wanli, just past the beginning of spring. Zhang You lost his father since he was a child, he was a posthumous son, Li Shuo had a difficult birth when he gave birth to him, but fortunately he met Tan Yunxian's granddaughter, Yang Ying, the seventh-grade female imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, so that the mother and son were safe. In order to repay her for saving her life, Li Shuo volunteered to become Yang Ying's maid, and returned to her hometown with Yang Ying, and came to Pinggu County from the capital.
Yang Ying's son Zheng Chengzong is the magistrate of Pinggu County, but she and her daughter-in-law Huang do not live in the county seat, but live in her hometown Long Housework, which is more than six miles away from the county seat.
Later, Yang Ying died of illness, and thanked Li Shuo for serving for many years, leaving the old house to Li Shuo. At the beginning, there was nothing to do, but this year, Zheng Chengzong was impeached and dismissed, because he couldn't stand the blow, he couldn't afford to get sick, and died young, and his wife Huang had no taboos and finally snatched the old mansion back.
Liu You, no, it should be called Zhang You, he once saw a yellowed deed in "Miscellaneous Words of the Female Doctor", and thought of his mother's vague words when the old house was robbed in the end, and suddenly understood that his mother must have suffered a lot of grievances.
He put the empty bowl aside, reached out and grabbed Li Shuo's hand, this hand was so rough, it didn't match her beautiful face at all, he couldn't help but feel even more distressed, and said: "Mother, don't be sad, grab it back, grab it back, it's not ours anyway, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life." ”
"My son is filial, my mother is really happy, it's just ...... Forget it, don't talk about this, my mother only hopes that one day when you think back to something, don't dislike your mother. You have a good rest, my mother hasn't done work for a few days, I just heard Aunt Li say that the Li Zheng family has done a lot of work to sew and repair military uniforms for the Jizhou Army in the past two days, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I'll go over and take a look. ”
Leaving these words brainlessly, Li Shuo hurriedly went out, Zhang You was puzzled and secretly suspicious, could it be that in addition to snatching back the old house, the Huang family also gave his mother other grievances? If that's the case, the house will have to be reclaimed!
At the beginning of spring, there was no heating equipment in the house, it was cold and cold, but the weather outside looked good. There was nothing to do left and right, Zhang You put on his clothes and went out with a limp, holding on to the wall, and found that there was a wooden crutch leaning on the earthen wall outside the door.
It was the morning ahead, the sun was shining, the sky was clear, this kind of weather, it was unimaginable in the future - the time of the car accident was also winter, and North China had been hazy for many days, and the sun had not been seen for a long time.
The courtyard is not big or small, it is a very common courtyard house in the northern region, with three upper rooms, three east rooms, and two west rooms. There is no house in the south, and there are several new coffins under it, two of which are painted, bright red, and an old man with gray hair is bent over and standing next to a coffin, holding a brush in his hand, and is carefully painting on the top.
It should be the man who was Aunt Li, and it turned out to be a carpenter who made coffins.
Liu You subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette, and laughed dumbly when he touched it - this crossing came too suddenly, and for a while, he was really a little unaccustomed to it.
"Brother You'er, your body is just right, it's not good to lie down, why did you come out?" The voice came from the upper room, the old man who was painting turned his head, was slightly stunned, smiled at Zhang You innocently, showed a mouth full of yellow teeth, and walked over slowly, it turned out to be a lame.
The feeling of sympathy for the same disease arose, and Zhang You only felt that this old man with a face full of ravines was indescribably kind.
Aunt Li is full of silver hair, although she is coarse cloth clothes, she is very neatly tied, and she is kind and kind, which is especially easy to make people feel good. Smiling at her, Zhang You said, "It's okay, Grandma Li, I'll look at it...... The old man is good, come out to sunbathe, just go to bad luck! "The name of the sun is a bit elegant, and Liu You is a northerner in later generations, and he quickly remembered the name of the sun by the common people when he was a child in the countryside, and he hurriedly changed his words.
"It's okay to bask in the sun, you come here, I'll move a chair for you." Aunt Li said as she went back to the house and moved the wooden chair, and when she saw the old man approaching Zhang You, she hurriedly said: "The head of the house, Brother You'er is just right, don't you know how to help him?" ”
Uncle Li smiled, didn't argue, and stretched out his rough hand to support Zhang You's arm. Zhang You felt strange, and felt more and more that the husband and wife had good character, and they would repay them for their good life in the future.
As soon as he sat on the chair, Zhang You saw a roe deer-headed rat-eyed person passing by the gate, looked inward several times, and couldn't help asking, "Who is that?" He doesn't look like a good person. ”
Aunt Li frowned and said, "Your mother said that you burned out your brain, I don't believe it much, why don't you even remember him?" That's Li San'er, the pig killer in the town, he is a scoundrel, and he was ...... a few days ago Forget it, that kid is an outlaw, just ignore him. After a pause, he turned to Uncle Li and said, "Boss, You'er has been out for a while, you go to greet you." ”
Before the words fell, a woman whispered from outside the courtyard wall: "You still dare to come?" Get out of the way, or don't blame me for fighting with you! The voice was not high, as if it was deliberately suppressed, but the three of them could still hear it clearly, it was Li Shuo's voice.
