Chapter 96: Foreign Words No One Understands
The young grandmother was frozen in the ice water, and she wanted to carry it, but in the end she got hot, and she had convulsions while lying on the lattice bed. Mother Wu kept it a secret, not saying that the situation of the young grandmother was not good, nor saying that it was good, only that she was warm in the quilt and too lazy to move. When it came to the knots, she was furious, and she found the fool with red circles under her eyes, saying that the young grandmother seemed to be out of order.
"What are you doing?"
"She didn't want to alarm Lang Zhong."
"If you have the ability, why do you continue to hide it?"
"You blame me too? I'm not alone in this courtyard, what are you doing? If the young grandmother doesn't let you into the house, you won't come in, do you have her in your heart? Fool brother, I really can't help it!"
The fool went to the room and saw that the young grandmother was already unconscious. I don't know where I got a breath in my heart, and I raised my hand to feed my mother Wu a big mouth. Mother Wu just cried, and hurriedly held back herself, looking at the fool pleadingly.
Martin was coming out of the lower room, looking strangely at the fool through the pool. The fool was afraid that he would run to the young grandmother's bed to join in the fun, so that the outsiders who entered the courtyard would bump into him, so he said loudly: "Go back to the house"
He didn't understand what it meant.
The fool went to the town to call Langzhong, and the townspeople couldn't understand what happened in Meifu when they saw him walking down the street. Li Langzhong is a tenant of the Mei family, almost the role of the government doctor, in addition to seeing a doctor for the villagers, he is on call to the Mei family, and he can't be sloppy at all.
Fortunately, his wife believes in Buddhism but not medicine, and the old man believes in medicine but not medicine. Lang Zhong was a little tired, and when he heard that the young grandmother had an emergency, he was inevitably a little frightened, and he couldn't help but be solemn.
This Lang Zhong is really unambiguous, the first time he diagnosed the young grandmother with cold, and the second time he diagnosed the young grandmother as pregnant. The fool was waiting in the corridor pavilion and saw Wu's mother leading Lang Zhong out. Lang Zhong raised the sleeves of his robe to wipe his sweat, Wu's mother's walnut face was beaming, and she held the prescription and said, "There is!" Pregnant! ”
"What's there?"
"The belly is there"
"No bad diagnosis, right?"
"She's better than others, I don't see it at all. Tell the old lady quickly, I will find my wife and say that I will go to the sun to hope that she will go to the fire in the womb, and the Mei family will have a future after all. Fool, watch the door, no one is allowed to enter this courtyard! ”
Lang Zhong couldn't be happy, and sighed as he walked. He said: "I prescribed a prescription, and it was cold and solid, and I couldn't give up any of them." If the medicine is collided, I can't bear this sin. ”
"If you don't open the party, it will be yours if something happens."
"That's what you're talking about."
Lang Zhong raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat again, his sharp beard trembled like a mouse's tail, and the fool sent them out, stopped at the gate of the corner courtyard, and guarded them according to the housekeeper's expectations. After a short time, a few servants and cooks came out of the main courtyard, and they inquired about what was wrong?
"Dead man." Fools are not angry.
"Who died?"
"Damn it, do you still ask." The fool closed the courtyard door tightly, and wanted to go back to the ear room to rest, but when he went to the door, he changed his mind again.
Ran to Martin's next room.
The fool said, "She has"
Martin didn't understand.
"She's pregnant"
"What?"
"Grandma has a child in her belly!"
The fool gestured to Bai Ji's belly, and he finally understood, and only stopped after a while, a little dazed. The brazier was burning, but it was still not warm. Martin moved the bowl to the middle of the room, wiped a match, and lit the remaining oil.
The fool leaned over and roasted his hands on the flames.
"She didn't know it herself"
"Who doesn't know"
"Grandma herself doesn't know."
Martin watched the flame slowly dwindling, he opened his hands, not knowing what to do, like an unwilling old potter in the workshop. He talked to himself, all in foreign language.
The fool saw that he had nothing to say, and he couldn't find anything to tell him, so he went out.
Martin suddenly said, "Boil me water at night."
"Got it."
He crouched with his head in his hands, the flames almost licking his big hanging nose. Back in the ear room, the fool lay on the bamboo bed and thought about things. He didn't know what the connection was between soaking in the pond and carrying a child.
His IQ and insight are limited, he can't think of that layer, he has no experience, and he doesn't have the guts. He thought that if the young grandmother knew that she was pregnant, she would not do anything reckless about soaking in the pond. Maybe she can't stand the young master in her conscience, and she is looking for death by digging into the pond, but she can't be ruthless, so she can only practice herself.
Now that she is pregnant with a child, she can't help but weigh it if she wants to harm herself. He had no doubt that the boy was Martin's species. With his broad shoulders, a woman can get pregnant at a glance, only God knows.
Martin's panicked look is not seen through by a fool. The fool rushed to tell him about the young grandmother's pregnancy, because he wanted to comfort him and let him relax and not worry about the young grandmother doing stupid things again. Another meaning is also to tell him, don't make a bad idea, enough, he doesn't know that this foreigner has a base in his heart little by little!
What a fool figured out at once was medicine. The housekeeper said that the medicine stored at home was not complete, and asked him to take it to the pharmacy in the town. He went to tell Martin that in case he came back late, let him find someone else to boil the bath water.
"Wait for me, let's go together."
He was dressed up and was going back to the chapel. At this time, it is not surprising to worship God, there is nothing to say to the earthly, and there is no nothing to say to the heavens. His unquenchable sorrow may have been retributed, if the foreign gods don't come to the rescue,
I don't see who has what else to do.
On the way, Martin looked back at the basin below the mountain again and again, walking very slowly, and the smile on his face was bitter. He didn't say anything, but hurried away as if he were fleeing.
They parted at the dock in town, Martin didn't say anything, patted the fool on the head, turned around at the intersection of East Street, smiled at him, still pretending, laughing and crying.
He knew God was waiting to scold him! The fool sat on a hardwood chair in the pharmacy and watched the shopkeeper grab the medicine the same. He was worried about the young grandmother's illness, and he wanted to put a hand on her stomach and caress it gently.
The fool was stunned, and the shopkeeper knocked on the weighing pan on the counter, startling him. He suddenly remembered the last time he grabbed medicine for the young grandmother, and he was also thinking about something, so that the sound of knocking on the weighing pan was interrupted suddenly. Last time, my grandmother was not sick, but she grabbed medicine and took medicine, but this time she was sick, and she was still dragging it secretly, what happened?
The shopkeeper said, "What are you smiling at?" ”
"Didn't laugh at anything, who laughed?"
"Which of your masters is happy?"
"I don't know. Let me grab the medicine, I will grab the medicine, I don't ask. ”
"Does the medicine I caught last time work?"
"I didn't eat it, how do I know!"
"Who ate it?"
"An old mother's goddaughter ate it."
"Did you knock it down?"
"Hit what?"
"Beat the baby"
"They are foreigners, and it's hard to say whether they have taken the medicine or not."
"I wonder if you're a good match."
"The people who orchestrate the Mei Mansion, you beware!"
"Palm mouth palm mouth! How dare I! Don't worry, I don't dare, I'll count on your Mei family to buy my medicine. Go back and tell you old lady that the dried mushroom slices from the north are here, and I will keep them for him if you want them!"
"You're welcome"
The fool went to the Bifuju teahouse to drink tea, and looked through the window at the regimental defense battalion walking around on the dock, the river has been closed for so long, and the regimental soldiers are still full of murderous faces, waiting to kill people.
The fool feels that he is not only the first fool in the world, but also the first person in the world who should be slaughtered. When chatting in the pharmacy, the fool had lightning in his head, similar to thunder, and then a violent storm.
He couldn't figure out what happened between the young grandmother and the second young master, but he almost figured out what happened between the eldest young grandmother and the foreigner. Martin took the young grandmother into the pharmacy, and the two of them did something harmful, and now they are cornered, and they have become people who have nowhere to hide and nowhere to hide.
Martin not only saw the dead air in Shuping's eyes, but also smelled the dead air in his own body. The fool thinks about the smile he forced out along the way and the way he looks at the graveyard frequently, and the more he thinks about it, the worse it becomes.
He wants to run away! Foreigners want to run! Dog mongrels are going to run!
The fool ran out of the teahouse in Bifuju, across the docks, across East Street, and ran like horses on the dirt road to the docks. He guessed that Martin had already boarded the boat, swaggering down the Blackwater River, where the ships were sealed.
He ran out of a dead wood, and suddenly found Martin walking with his head down. The fool stopped, and both stood still. He carried a large bagel baked in the bakery of the parishioners, and a cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth. His face was calm, and he seemed to have received a reassuring word from God.
"You?"
"I'm tired of waiting, I'm here to pick you up."
"Run for what?"
"I'm in a hurry."
"What's the hurry?"
The fool couldn't answer, and his face was hot.
"To eat bread or not?"
"Don't eat"
Martin stopped talking, and walked ahead in a hurry, faster than he could flee. As the sun set, they were walking along the mountain path into the basin, and he slowed down and finally stopped. He watched the sunset in the west.
The fool also came out of his mind, and remembered the autumn day, when the young grandmother burned like a flame in the remnant sun.
Martin muttered half a foreign sentence.
The fool immediately understood who he was talking to!
What does that mean?
He doesn't understand, no one understands.
