Chapter 2 There is a secret
As he spoke, he saw that the thin child had run in front of the middle-aged man, raised his hands to block the old man, and begged, "Don't beat my father...... Don't hit my dad! ”
"Daddy? You call him Daddy?! The old man's surprised face gradually rose with anger, looked at the middle-aged man, and said calmly: "Tiger poison does not eat children, but you kill your wife and children, and cook their meat!" ”
Before the old man's words fell, the thin child choked up and said, "Mother...... Mother...... It was the mother herself who cut herself with a knife...... A lot of blood...... I'm afraid...... Woo......"
As he spoke, the child began to cry again, and his horizontal hands were half down, but he still had a strong momentum of protecting his father.
The old man exclaimed, "What? Suicide!! ”
The thin child cried to himself, and he would pay attention to others.
"Master......" Fang Chengtian called out to the old man, but he didn't know what to say.
The old man glanced at Fang Chengtian, sighed, shook his head, handed the kitchen knife in his hand to the young man, and said with a wry smile: "For the teacher, the teacher often teaches you to look at things, and you have to examine it as deeply as you see a doctor, so that you can know the root of the disease and not use the wrong medicine...... As a teacher, he looked away today. ”
With that, the old man walked straight out.
"Master!" Fang Chengtian looked at the old man's back, was silent for a moment, and moved his gaze to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man slowly got up, hugged the child into his arms, looked at Fang Chengtian's puzzled expression, sighed, nodded at Fang Chengtian and said, "The child did commit suicide." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man glanced over to the stove and let out a long sigh, tears flashing in his eyes.
"If you live well, why do you want to commit suicide?" Fang Chengtian frowned, looked at the woman's corpse, and said, "Besides, even if she commits suicide, you should bury her alive, why do you cut off her hand and put it in a pot to boil?" ”
"Humph!" The middle-aged man snorted lightly and asked rhetorically, "Are you living well?" That's you noble people, so you can live well, when will we, the poor, live a good life? How do you, who are high up on the high, know the suffering of the people? ”
"I'm ......" Fang Chengtian just spoke, but stopped, not knowing what to say for a while.
He wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything, what this middle-aged man said was true, how could he refute it?!
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and continued, "Do you know how many people have starved to death in our village this year?" ”
The middle-aged man became angrier and shouted, "Half of our village is starving to death!" Do you know what it's like to die of hunger? ”
When the emaciated child heard his father's roar, he was so frightened that he stopped crying, turned around and hugged the middle-aged man tightly, and buried his head in the middle-aged man's arms.
"But no matter how hungry you are, you can't eat your relatives......" Fang Chengtian said, his voice getting quieter and quieter, although he knew that what he said was reasonable, but for some reason, as soon as he saw the middle-aged man's eyes full of anger, he couldn't say any more.
"Haha...... the middle-aged man looked up to the sky and laughed, "When this person is so hungry that he has no way out, he is no different from a beast!" ”
Fang Chengtian gritted his teeth and retorted: "Lovely people...... Not a brute after all! ”
The middle-aged man gave the boy a blank look and stopped talking.
At this time, the child in the arms of the middle-aged man broke free of his embrace, looked at Fang Chengtian and said: "Big brother, can you wake up my mother, I overheard my mother and father say, after she dies, let my father give me her meat to eat and take me out of here, but I don't want to eat my mother, I don't want to leave my mother, I want my mother...... Woo......"
As he spoke, the thin child began to cry again, crying, calling his mother, and wiping his tears.
The middle-aged man took the thin child into his arms and choked up, "Little treasure......"
This is a human tragedy, and it is also a tragic and touching love story, Fang Chengtian let out a long sigh, suddenly felt that his nose was sour, and the kitchen knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang" unconsciously.
"Hey......" Fang Chengtian sighed, touched a pill from his arms, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said, "This big brother, this pill can cure your internal injuries." ”
As he spoke, he took out two steamed buns from his baggage and handed them to the middle-aged man, and continued: "Since there is a hidden story, why don't you explain it?" ”
The middle-aged man swallowed the pill, stuffed the steamed buns together with Xiaobao in his arms, and said with a wry smile: "Even if I say it, do you believe it?" ”
Xiaobao grabbed the steamed bun and took a big bite, then rushed to his mother's side, handed another steamed bun to his mother, and said, "Mother, wake up, there are steamed buns to eat, mother ......"
"I ......" Fang Chengtian was speechless, as the middle-aged man said, even if he was suspicious, but with only a few words from the middle-aged man, he would never believe it easily.
Fang Chengtian sighed: "Then you're not afraid that my master will really kill you?" ”
The middle-aged man looked at the woman and the child, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Since the child and his mother committed suicide behind my back, I wanted to go with her, but when I thought of what Xiaobao should do, I had to dispel the idea of suicide!" ”
Fang Chengtian frowned his head and asked again, "In that case, if you are killed by my master, won't you worry about the child?" ”
The middle-aged man looked at the young man, then at the old man standing at the door, and said, "I can see that you are all good people, if I die, you will definitely save my child." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man lowered his head slightly and continued: "Moreover, if you know the truth in the future, you will definitely treat my child better, in this way, it will not be the best ending for me to be killed by you." ”
"It is indeed the best ending." The old man sighed, shook his head again, and said, "But the old man has to live with guilt for the rest of his life." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he buried his head lower.
The old man didn't mean to blame the middle-aged man, and besides, things didn't turn out like that, so how could blame begin?
At this time, Xiaobao ran over, looked at the middle-aged man, and cried: "Dad, I will give my mother steamed buns to eat, she shouldn't want me, can you wake her up?" I want my mother to eat with me......"
When the middle-aged man heard this, tears flowed out of his eyes, hugged Xiaobao, and choked up: "Xiaobao, my mother is tired, I have to sleep for a long time, don't bother her, okay?" ”
Xiaobao turned his head to look at his mother, nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "How long will my mother sleep?" ”
"For a long time...... ...... long time" The middle-aged man looked at the woman, tears streaming down his cheeks again.
"Oh~~" Xiaobao responded, broke free from the middle-aged man's arms, handed the steamed bun in his hand to the middle-aged man and said, "Then this steamed bun is for my father." ”
The middle-aged man wiped away his tears and smiled at Xiaobao: "Dad is not hungry, Xiaobao, you eat by yourself." ”
Fang Chengtian saw that his nose was sour, and he quickly took out the remaining two steamed buns in the baggage and handed them to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man took the steamed bun and said with a grateful face: "Thank you!" My name is Li Xiangrong, and I don't know the name of my benefactor? ”
"My name is Fang Chengtian." The young man smiled, held one hand to the old man by the door and said, "This is my master Xuanchen, and we are doctors who walk the rivers and lakes." ”
"Xuanchen ......" Li Xiangrong frowned, pondered for a moment, suddenly looked at Xuanchen, and said in surprise, "You...... You...... Are you the world-famous miracle doctor Xuanchen? ”
