"Uncle, you wait, I'll go find my aunt and come back!"

Without waiting for Tao Qisheng to say anything, Tao Zhenzong ran out of the house crying. In the past few days, he not only developed feelings for Liu Xingmei, but also had feelings for his master and mother, but for Tao Zhenkun, who occasionally showed hostility, he also strengthened the friendship between "brothers" than when he was a child. At this time, he rushed out of the village as fast as he could, and came to the field of crops to the east, where it was a scene of disastrous defeat, a large group of men, women, and children were squatting or kneeling in their respective fields, pouting their buttocks little by little, looking for the shadow of food, using shovels in their hands or using sharpened sticks as tools, digging the ears buried in the soil, and picking up the grain, the scene was like touching melons along the vines, and it was like pious men and women praying when burning incense and worshiping the Buddha. He stood on a mound and looked out there, as if he had seen a dense patch of crows in the ground, or rows of mushrooms growing after the rain.

To the surprise of the whole village, a sudden natural disaster caused irreparable damage. Unpredictable suffering quietly descended, and people's heavy feelings suppressed their sad feelings!

He didn't know where the three people he was looking for, as if he had been unfamiliar with the land he was familiar with after more than two years of school life, so he raised his voice and shouted from afar:

"Auntie! Elder brother! Sister-in-law! Where are you?! ”

He didn't know if his father and mother were here.

All the people in the field heard someone shouting and turned their eyes to him. Someone had sharp eyes and recognized it as the only talent in the village.

At the same time, Tao Zhenkun, who was mixed with the crowd, also heard the voice of Zhenzong, so he stood up, he waved his hand at Tao Zhenzong, and shouted in his mouth: "We are here!" It's Zhenzong! ”

"What's the matter, this kid is like a cat bite, what's the matter, what about the usual steady energy?!" Qiu Lanzhi stopped on the ground to find the hand of the grain ear, she knelt on the slightly damp ground and straightened her waist, a little puzzled.

"Something must have happened, listening to his anxious shouting, it doesn't seem like a good thing, if you eat dumplings, you won't call us!" Liu Xingmei looked at Tao Zhenzong and rubbed the soil stuck to her fingers.

Tao Zhenkun was also puzzled: "Seeing that he is in a hurry, this matter is not trivial!"

Tao Zhenzong, who was sweating profusely, came to them in a panic, panting and said, "Hurry up, go back and have a look, uncle-"

"What's wrong with your uncle?" As soon as Qiu Lanzhi heard this, and saw Tao Zhenzong's change of voice and color, he immediately became nervous and suddenly stood up from the ground.

"My father—?"

"He fainted! He-" Tao Zhenzong was still a little out of breath, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"What do you say?" Liu Xingmei's heart fluttered, and she immediately became anxious.

"I carried him onto the kang and woke up."

When Qiu Lanzhi and Tao Zhenkun heard this, the mother and son were stunned, stupid!

The foreboding of that coffin has been fulfilled!

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and set up the car!" Liu Xingmei said, and hurriedly packed her things in the car not far away.

Tao Zhenzong also stepped forward to help.

"I-I went earlier!" Qiu Lanzhi shook her body, and for a while she didn't know which leg to take first, she staggered back quickly, and tears flowed down her eyes. This sad news was like a bolt from the blue to her, like bad news that brings sadness. The husband who has been dependent on each other for many years is the most important part of her life that she has relied on wholeheartedly as a woman!

How could this happen?! How can a loving couple who are closely related not be anxious? She really can't wait to have wings and return to her husband in an instant. In case there was a three-long and two-short, that-that-she didn't dare to predict the outcome!

"Mother, slow down, don't worry, Dad will be fine!" Tao Zhenkun also wiped the tears on his cheeks and said, hurriedly went to lead the donkey who was grazing on the hillside and hurriedly set the cart.

At this time, people saw that something was wrong, and some people also gathered around with concern, asking what was going on.

Others were also quite stunned after hearing this, and they were amazed and embarrassed.

One of the middle-aged men seemed to suddenly realize: "No wonder he prepared the coffin in advance, it seems that he already knew that he was seriously ill!" ”

This person is Wu Jinfu, the eldest son of Wu Yuanzu.

When Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei heard this, they became even more anxious, and the most worrying thing happened!

After setting up the car, Tao Zhenkun hurriedly pulled the donkey, and hurried like a hairy rabbit, without even waiting for Tao Zhenkun and Liu Xingmei, they ran into the car.

But Liu Xingmei did not blame Tao Zhenkun.

caught up with Qiu Lanzhi halfway, Tao Zhenkun slowed down the car and let his mother get into the car.

"Mother, don't worry, Dad will be fine." Liu Xingmei saw that her mother-in-law was already crying and her eyes were red, so she comforted. Don't look at her usually rarely calling her in-laws her father, it can be seen that she is also anxious now!

Family affection, even the most indifferent people have-

――-――-――-――

The donkey cart was driven into the yard of the fence wall, and Tao Zhenkun didn't even tie the donkey, so the four of them hurried into the house.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

"Uncle!"

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that they were all back in a hurry, Tao Qisheng tried to sit up from the kang with great energy, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Tao Zhenkun hurriedly stepped forward to help his father. "Dad, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"

Tao Qisheng looked at them, then reluctantly smiled and said, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can hide!" ”

"And who are you—?"

Tao Qisheng interrupted his wife and said, "Actually, I already knew that I was sick. ”

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Liu Xingmei asked with tears in her eyes.

"I'm afraid that you will be worried and scared if you know it earlier, so I want to see you carefree and carefree, so that I can feel more joy and happiness in the world." Although Tao Qisheng was tight-lipped about his illness, he still had to face the reality of the day, and he could no longer hide it.

His meaningful words moved Liu Xingmei very much. What kind of tenacious perseverance does it take for a seriously ill person to fight against the disease alone for so long without the help of medicine, and he suffers pain and torture but does not want his family to know prematurely?!

For Liu Xingmei, she, a foreign surname, is using patience to integrate herself into a family environment that is basically completely unfamiliar. The previous resistance and refusal to obey were out of reluctant efforts to arrange an unfair fate, and when Tao Zhenkun turned herself into his woman by forced means, she really accepted her fate! But—but while she was preparing to be a good daughter-in-law whom any in-laws would aspire to be a good and filial daughter-in-law, her father-in-law would suddenly fall seriously ill, and her filial piety had not yet been brought into full play! She thinks that this is not only unfair to her father-in-law, but also a tease of her confidence!

Qiu Lanzhi wiped away her tears, held her husband's hand tightly and said, "These days, I have seen that you are wrong, obviously I see that your face is yellow, you are also thin, you are coughing and vomiting, and you are choking and hiccups like a child when eating. When I asked you, you said it was fine, no wonder my right eyelid was always jumping, it turned out - it turned out that you made that coffin - ! ”

"Dad, do you know what you are sick with? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Tao Zhenkun asked eagerly.

Tao Qisheng coughed.

Liu Xingmei went around his back and gave him a light beating.

Tao Qisheng stopped coughing and said: "A month ago, I felt that this stomach was not suitable, so I went to the county with others and looked for an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he said-"

In fact, he was already ill and often felt fatigue and weakness, loss of appetite, indigestion, night sweats, and nightmares. Later, symptoms of belching, pantothenic acid, nausea, and vomiting appeared. He didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, but later it became more and more serious, and at that time, he was covering up Zhang Luo to marry his "son", and he didn't take the time to watch it, but he just concealed it, for fear that it would affect the marriage he handled. I didn't expect it to be like this now! As for the nightmares, he had been having nightmares for years, and he had been having the same dreams almost all the time, wondering if the dreams had anything to do with the disease. The person who appeared in the dream was his father, and that was the person he didn't want to face the most. But those dreams are always connected and overlapped, as if he is recalling the unbearable past events repeatedly, what a terrible dream!

"What did he say?" Qiu Lanzhi's heart lifted.

"Why is it so sick? Why do you say that you are sick when you are sick? You didn't tell the truth when you came back, and I didn't see what medicine you were taking?! Liu Xingliu asked anxiously.

Tao Qisheng sighed: "Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread!" I said you don't have to be afraid, at first I thought it was tuberculosis, but when I checked, he said that I had a malignant tumor in my stomach, which was an incurable disease, and it was useless to spend money on medicine, so I opened the coffin! ”

When a few people heard this, it was really like a thunderbolt from the sky, they looked at each other, and it turned out to be like this!

"No, no! It's impossible, it can't be like this, don't you scare me?! I-" Before Qiu Lanzhi's words were finished, she suddenly felt the world spin around, her eyes were dark, and she fell backwards, and fainted.

Tao Zhenzong's hands were quick and he helped her up. Several people were in a hurry, crying and shouting. Liu Xingmei pinched her mother-in-law's "human acupoint", and Qiu Lanzhi woke up for a long time. The man was stunned, looked at his husband, and cried again:

"It's impossible!"

Tao Qisheng took his wife's hand and said: "People are not good for a thousand days, flowers are not red for a hundred days, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, don't be too anxious." Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular! The crops were gone a few days ago, and now I'm—"

"If you are sick, you will be cured! Zhenkun, quickly carry your father to the car. Mother, bring all the money you have at home, let's go and go to the city to see a doctor! When other people's minds are confused, Liu Xingmei is still relatively sober.

"Sister-in-law, go at this time, and you won't be able to come back at night." Tao Zhenzong said as if reminding.

"Then stay there." Liu Xingmei replied simply.

"I know my illness, it's a waste of money, so I don't have to go!" Tao Qisheng's face was a little pale, and he gasped for breath slightly.

"I'm afraid that I will have to be cured even if I spend money, who will make the disease grow on my body! If there is a disease that cannot be cured, you can't wait for death, and besides, if it is misdiagnosed, it will not delay other diseases. Don't say anything, hurry up! "Liu Xingmei is really anxious.

Her words were reasonable, and Tao Zhenkun didn't wait for his father to stop him anymore, so he picked up Tao Qisheng and stepped out of the door quickly, and instructed Tao Zhenzong: "Zhenzong, take a set of coverings." ”

Tao Zhenzong answered, picked up the cover and chased out.

Tao Qisheng did not stubbornly disagree, for the sake of the anxious relatives, his heart was warmly moved. He can't refuse this kindness, if he dies if his illness is not cured, can his family be willing? In addition, he also had a trace of luck, in case it was really like Liu Xingmei was misdiagnosed, wouldn't it delay other curable diseases.

Qiu Lanzhi trembled and took off a bunch of keys from her waist, opened the lock on the cabinet, and found the only money, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked out in a panic. Liu Xingmei was just about to lock the door, Tao Zhenkun had already put his father in the car, and ran over and said, "Wait a minute! ”

He went into the house and took out a sack containing the double-barreled shotgun.

"You still have it?" Liu Xingmei asked.

"Just in case."

Liu Xingmei locked the door and came to the car. A few people were so anxious that they didn't even change their clothes.

Tao Qisheng sat in the car with a mattress, clinging to his wife's arms, covered with a quilt.

"Didn't you leave anyone at home?" Tao Qisheng asked.

"If there is anything valuable to lose, it matters first, let's go." Liu Xingmei said.

"And-" Tao Qisheng wanted to say that there was still a tiger skin at home, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

Tao Zhenkun drove the donkey cart out of the yard, and Liu Xingmei closed the gate.

The black tiger struggled to follow with the chain, but it didn't know what was going on.
