Next Chapter

Fengyu Country, a small mountain village in a remote area.

At this time, the north wind is howling and the snow is falling. The snow has been falling for a day and a night, from small to large, and there is no tendency to stop at all. Most of the people in the village are closed and reluctant to go out, after all, the snow on the ground can already bury people's ankles, and even if someone wants to go out, it is difficult to walk.

In this silent village where you can only hear the sound of snow falling, I saw an elderly woman, covering her head with the corner of the sack, like a robe, but this sack can only cover her back, and the parts below her waist are all exposed to the wind and snow.

A cold wind blew, and the old woman couldn't help coughing, as if she wanted to cough out the heart, liver, and lungs. It took a while for the old woman to slowly stop coughing, and then she walked forward step by step with her stick.

It wasn't until she reached a room that the old woman stopped, raised her frozen hand, and patted the wooden door. After filming for a long time, a voice came from inside, "Who?" ”

With the sound of the door, the door also opened from the inside, and Sister-in-law Ge looked at the old woman in front of her and said in surprise,

"Aunt Wang, come in, why are you here on this snowy day?"

"Is Dr. Ge at home?" Aunt Wang asked in a hoarse voice.

"Lao Ge is at home, what's wrong? But what's wrong with you? Come, you go into the house to warm up, and then let Lao Ge take a good look at it for you. ”

After Sister-in-law Ge finished speaking, she wanted to help Aunt Wang to go to the house.

"Lao Ge's family, it's not that I'm sick, it's my daughter-in-law, I didn't have a good body, this snowed yesterday, my body was even hotter, and I kept talking nonsense, I was worried that she would have three long and two short if it dragged on, so I came over and wanted to trouble Dr. Ge to help take a look."

After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she took out a string of copper plates from her arms, "Don't worry, I won't owe you the money for this medical treatment, I have already brought it to you." ”

Sister-in-law Ge looked at the string of copper plates in Aunt Wang's hand, at least there were forty, which was twice as much as the usual consultation fee.

"Aunt Wang, what are you doing so politely, can I still not believe you as a person? Seeing that you are in such a hurry, I want to come to her very sick, then you wait here first, I will help you call Lao Ge, and hurry up to see her. ”

After Sister-in-law Ge finished speaking, she didn't wait for Aunt Wang's answer, so she walked to the house, shouting as she walked, "Old Ge ......"

"What's wrong, who called the door?" Doctor Ge saw his mother-in-law walking in and asked.

"It's Aunt Wang at the head of the village, her daughter-in-law is sick, and I want you to help take a look."

"It's such a cold day, there is such a heavy snow, and her house is so far away from the village, if it's not a serious illness, let's push it." Doctor Ge frowned.

"You are really, if it weren't for the seriousness of your illness, do you think it's necessary for Aunt Wang to come in such a bad weather? After all, it's a village, it's good to go and have a look, besides, she came to get the consultation fee this time, and I see that there are forty copper plates, which is more than double your usual. Sister-in-law Ge persuaded.

"Are there really that many?"

"Well, Lao Ge, let's not talk about the issue of the consultation fee, just talk about the problem of saving people, you can't shirk it like this, after all, you are a doctor, a fellow villager, you can go and have a look."

"Now you understand."

After Dr. Ge finished speaking, he got up to get his medicine box, and just as he was about to go out, Sister-in-law Ge came out with her coat.

"Wait, it's still snowing outside, you have to put this on, or you'll get sick by then, and it won't be worth it." After speaking, he put on a robe for Dr. Ge.

As soon as Dr. Ge walked out of the door, a cold wind blew, and the cold Dr. Ge shivered for a while, and his heart began to retreat.

"Forty copper plates." Sister-in-law Ge's voice sounded faintly behind her, so Dr. Ge gritted his teeth and walked out.

The two came to Aunt Wang's house together, Aunt Wang first went to pour a cup of hot tea for Dr. Ge, Dr. Ge took a sip, and then put the tea on the table.

"It's a little warmer, I'd better go see her first."

"Doctor Ge, please come here." After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she took a few steps forward and opened a curtain, Dr. Ge stepped forward to take a look, Cheng Xiaoxiao's face was flushed, and she reached out to put it on her head.

"Aunt Wang, do you have any wine at home, hurry up and get some, she can't burn it lightly, don't burn your brain by then."

"This ......," Aunt Wang looked embarrassed, "Don't hide it from Doctor Ge, I don't have any wine at home." ”

"Then you hurry up and find some wine, if it's too late, her brain will still be light if she burns out, I'm afraid she will burn out." After Dr. Ge finished speaking, he got up,

"Later, you will rub the wine on her forehead, wrists, and armpits, rub it vigorously, first lower her temperature, and then boil some medicine for her, let her drink it, and if there is any other situation, you will call me again."

"Hey, okay, okay, thank you Dr. Ge, this is the consultation fee, you accept it."

After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she took out the copper plates, and Dr. Ge looked at the string of copper plates, and it was really as his mother-in-law said, there must be forty copper plates, although he wanted to take it immediately, but he still gave it up in vain.

"Aunt Wang, you give too much, how can you be embarrassed?"

"Doctor Ge, you just accept it, it's really troublesome for you to come and run like this on such a cold day."

"Then I'm not welcome, Aunt Wang, you go and find some wine, wipe it for your daughter-in-law, I'll go back first." Dr. Ge took the string of copper plates and hurriedly put them into his arms.

"Okay, Dr. Ge, you go slowly."

Aunt Wang sent Dr. Ge away, standing at the door and looking at the heavy snow, her face was full of sadness. At this time, where can I buy alcohol? It's so far away from the town, especially with heavy snow, it's impossible to go to the town, but in this village, I'm afraid it's not easy to find.

Although it doesn't cost too much money, it is only available to slightly wealthier people, and it is rarely available to ordinary people.

"Mother, don't beat me and my sister, we're obedient."

Just as she was sad, Xiaoxiao's nonsense came to her ears again, Aunt Wang hurriedly came to the house, looked at Xiaoxiao's face flushed, and looked painful, she stepped forward and patted her body gently,

"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, my mother is here......"

Maybe it was because she felt the warmth of the people around her, or maybe she heard Aunt Wang's voice, the pain on Cheng Xiaoxiao's face gradually disappeared, looking at Xiaoxiao who was quiet again, Aunt Wang finally made up her mind in her heart.

He stood up resolutely, put on a hemp bag and walked out. If you want to ask who has wine in the village, then her eldest brother's family must have it, but the relationship between the two families has been incompatible in the past two years, especially since the death of her son Wang Chengshun, they have driven Xiaoxiao and her mother out, if it weren't for other well-wishers in the village, they built a simple thatched hut for them in the village, I am afraid that their mother would have gone with Li Dazhuang a long time ago.

Although Xiaoxiao was only bought by her to give her son Chongxi, but in the past two years, she has already regarded Xiaoxiao as her biological daughter, even closer than her biological daughter.

In the final analysis, Xiaoxiao is also a poor child, although she has a father and a mother, it is better not to have one. Therefore, even if her son did not have a house with her, even if her father and mother came to ask for someone several times, they did not give up on each other.

This is probably the same person who has fallen to the end of the world. The more she got along with Xiaoxiao, the more she found that this child was sensible and pitiful, so later, she had the idea of taking care of her desperately, just like her dead son, who had been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child.

The snow still keeps falling, but Aunt Wang's heart is extremely firm.

Even if the eldest brother's family was in trouble, she had to be cheeky and ask for the wine, even if it was bought at a high price.

She no longer has a son, and she can't even lose her daughter.

"Bang bang", Aunt Wang looked at the extremely familiar door in front of her, patted hard, but her heart was mixed, once, this was also her home, but also her happy and warm home.

At that time, she was still in charge, although the family was not too wealthy, but the basic food and clothing could still be solved.

Later, her head of the family left in an accident, and her sensible son provoked the whole family overnight.

I found a job in the town, and every time I came back, I always gave her her wages and let her save them.

At that time, the eldest brother and their family didn't have much to do, until later, when her family's son grew up, she thought about finding a daughter-in-law for him, in order not to let the daughter of the family marry and be wronged, so she thought about building a yard again.

After the sister-in-law knew, she said some sour words in front of her every day, she has always been in her left ear and out of her right ear, after all, her mouth grows on other people's bodies, and she can't care about it.

If it weren't for the fact that her son had an accident in the town and got a strange disease, I'm afraid this home would still be her home, right?!

"Who......"

A female voice came from inside, and then the door opened, and when Liu Xiuyu saw who the person outside the door was, her face immediately pulled down, and her tone was even more yin and yang.

"Yo, who is this, what are you doing at our house, and I don't know who said that you will never step into my house half a step, so you will come here to slap your face?"

Aunt Wang's face turned red and white after hearing this, if it weren't for Xiaoxiao, she really wouldn't have come here again, she was alone, and she couldn't talk about others, was it just to come here to be ridiculed by others?

Thinking of Xiaoxiao, Aunt Wang resisted the urge to turn around and leave,

"Sister-in-law, I remember that my eldest brother likes to drink, I came here to ask if I can borrow some wine, Xiaoxiao's child has a fever, and the doctor said that he needs to wipe his body with wine to cool down."

"What do you say? Rubbing your body with wine? I think you're crazy, this wine person still thinks it's expensive, you want to wipe your body with wine, I tell you, don't even think about it......"

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoxiao is very sick, if you can cool her down with wine, this can be regarded as saving someone's life, sister-in-law, look ......"

"No, I don't have any alcohol at home, and even if I do, I won't give it to you."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not here to borrow it, I'll give you money, you see, can you?"

After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she took out two copper plates from her arms, Liu Xiuyu looked at the money in her hand, and a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but when she thought that the money was for the stinky girl, she was immediately dissatisfied.

"Ma Qiuying, tell me about you, you are willing to spend money for a stinky girl for no reason, and you are not happy to let you support our brother Yong'er. Our brother Yong'er is also your eldest nephew, you are an aunt who actually gave up our relatives for an outsider, what about your conscience?! ”

"Sister-in-law, I beg you, you can be kind and sell me some bars, I'm afraid that if it's a little later, Xiaoxiao's child won't be good......"

Aunt Wang ignored Liu Xiuyu's sarcasm and begged with a face.

"Ma Qiuying, if you bought wine for yourself today, maybe I would have thought about it, but if you were for that stinky girl, I wouldn't sell it to you. Since you are still so obsessed until now, then you will wait to regret it, I see that when you are old, who will give you a pension and send you to the end!! ”

After Liu Xiuyu finished speaking, she closed the door with a "bang", and Aunt Wang wanted to continue to knock on the door, but finally put her hand down.

She understands her sister-in-law's temperament, and if she continues to knock on the door, she is asking for hardship, and she can't buy alcohol, so staying here can only be a waste of time, so she should go back and take a look at Xiaoxiao first.

Staggered to the house, touching Xiaoxiao's still hot forehead, Aunt Wang decided to boil some medicine first, although the wine can be temporarily cooled down first, but she can't find wine for a while, it's better to feed her some medicine first, and then go out to find wine.

After boiling the medicine, Aunt Wang brought it to the house, scooped a spoonful and blew it gently, and handed it to Xiaoxiao's mouth, but saw that the medicine flowed down the corner of her mouth.

Aunt Wang immediately wiped it with a handkerchief, and her eyes were full of anxiety.

"Xiaoxiao, good boy, you open your mouth and drink the medicine first, and after drinking the medicine, our illness will be cured......"

It's just that no matter how Aunt Wang calls, the person on the bed just doesn't open her mouth, half a bowl of medicine goes down, and she doesn't feed a drop into Xiaoxiao's mouth.

When Aunt Wang saw this, she immediately ran out in a panic, not even wearing a sack, and let the snowflakes hit her face and body.

"Aunt Wang, what's wrong? Could it be that Xiaoxiao's child hasn't gotten rid of fever yet? ”

Sister-in-law Ge opened the door and looked at Aunt Wang, who was covered in snowflakes, her face was full of surprise, and she helped pat her clothes and shook off the snow on her body.

"Well, this has to trouble Dr. Ge to run."

"Okay, Aunt Wang, you wait first, I'll call Lao Ge ......"

After Sister-in-law Ge finished speaking, she entered the house,

"Lao Ge, you still have to go out......"

"What's the matter? Can you keep me warm at home on this snowy day? ”

Doctor Ge said with some dissatisfaction, he just came back from Aunt Wang's house, and he just lay down for a while, this is called him again, really, even if you earn money, you can't earn it like this, you have to take care of your body first, don't you? !

"Aunt Wang is here again, saying that Xiaoxiao's child is still not good, you should hurry up and take a look."

"How could it not be?"

Although Dr. Ge is a little confused in other things, he still won't mess around in treating diseases and saving people, he doesn't want to see it, he doesn't want to see it, but once he sees it, he still has to take care of it to the end, which is the most basic bottom line as a doctor.

"Aunt Wang, that girl still has a high fever that doesn't go away, and she can't use wine?"

Aunt Wang blamed herself after hearing this,

"We don't have any wine at home, and I didn't borrow it just now, I was worried that Xiaoxiao's body couldn't bear it, so I thought about going back to boil some medicine for her first, but this medicine didn't feed it into my mouth at all, I was a little worried, so I came over and wanted to trouble you to take a look."

As soon as Dr. Ge heard that he couldn't feed the medicine, he knew that the condition might be serious, and maybe it was really a bit tricky.

Thinking of this, Dr. Ge shouted into the room,

"Child, mother, you bring our wine jar over, I still have to go to my aunt's house."

"Okay, wait a minute......"

The two of them hugged the wine jar and returned to Aunt Wang's house again, this time Dr. Ge didn't even drink hot tea, and came directly to the bed, looking at Cheng Xiaoxiao only inlet and no out, I couldn't help but "chuckle" in my heart.

"Aunt Wang, hurry up and open the wine jar, pour some wine out, wipe this girl's body, and I'll go to your stove room to boil some medicine first."

Aunt Wang heard the eagerness in Dr. Ge's voice, and her heart rose to her throat, and she hurriedly poured out some wine in a panic.

"You just dip your hand in some wine, and then rub it vigorously on her, and I'll boil the medicine first."

After Dr. Ge finished speaking, he hurriedly entered the stove room, the doctor is benevolent, although he usually has some power, but at this critical moment, he is still a qualified doctor.

Aunt Wang rubbed hard for Xiaoxiao according to what Dr. Ge said, and her originally white skin was rubbed red, even so, Aunt Wang didn't dare to stop.

She was afraid that she would face the pain of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person again, she had lost her dearest son, although the one in front of her was only her nominal daughter-in-law, but she had already treated her as her own daughter.

Looking at Cheng Xiaoxiao's face, there was no need for Dr. Ge to say, she also knew that Xiaoxiao's situation was not very good.

When Dr. Ge brought the medicine over, Aunt Wang stopped.

"Aunt Wang, can you feed this medicine to that girl and see if she can still drink it?!"

"What to do? Doctor Ge, still can't feed it? ”

Aunt Wang's voice at the moment had some crying, at that time, her son was also because he couldn't take the medicine, and then it was gone, now, Xiaoxiao's situation, why isn't she afraid?!

"Can't feed it?!"

After hearing this, Dr. Ge couldn't help but get anxious, he deliberately changed the prescription this time, but he couldn't feed it, how could it be good?

"In this way, Aunt Wang, you dress that girl first, and I'll go in and have a look."

"Eh, okay."

Doctor Ge reached out and touched Xiaoxiao's forehead, and found that the temperature had dropped a lot, and probed his nose again, it seemed to be better than just now, but if he couldn't feed the medicine all the time, then even if he was a god, he wouldn't be able to save this girl.

"How's it going, Dr. Ge."

"Aunt Wang, I see that this girl's temperature has dropped a lot, you just wait a while and rub her with wine, and then feed her some medicine to see if she can drink it."

"And what if you can't drink it?"

"If you can't drink it, there's no way to do it."

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, yes, but we can't do it. If we had a ginseng tree, the chances of this girl surviving would be better. However, for those of us, where can we get ginseng? ”

After Dr. Ge's words were finished, Aunt Wang's face turned white, ginseng? For her, this ginseng was something she never dreamed of, and where could she get it?

"Alas, Aunt Wang, now this girl's body can only obey the destiny of heaven, an hour ago, if you can use wine to cool down this girl in time, maybe things won't be so tricky, now, I really can't do anything......"

After Dr. Ge finished speaking, he left, and after Aunt Wang reacted and chased him out, there was still a trace of Dr. Ge in the vast snow, leaving only a series of footprints to prove that he had come.

Aunt Wang looked at the wind and snow in the sky, and couldn't help crying, God, I have never done anything hurtful, do you have to be so ruthless?!

Her head of the house left early, and her son is gone, so now even the little girl next to her is going to be taken away?

This is the first time in her life, Aunt Wang complained a little about God, about God's ruthlessness, and about his unfairness.

Cheng Xiaoxiao struggled to open her eyes, but she felt that her head was as uncomfortable as exploding, she looked at the white expanse in front of her, and wanted to go out, but she couldn't get out.

"Xiaoxiao ......"

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly heard a voice, and was really startled, but still had the courage to say,

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? I am you, you are me. ”

"What do you mean? Are you a human or a ghost? Can you speak human words? ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao had a question on her face at the moment, she could understand the word when she opened it, but when she put it together, why did she feel a little foggy?

"You don't have to be afraid, I am Cheng Xiaoxiao in this world, but I am too tired and too hard to live, so I think you can live well instead of me."

"No, what do you mean?"

"I believe in you, you will definitely live well, and you will definitely live your own wonderful life."

As soon as the voice landed, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt a push gently pushing her out, and the moment she opened her eyes, Cheng Xiaoxiao closed her eyes again in disbelief.

After repeating this several times, Cheng Xiaoxiao was sure that the voice just now was real, and he was no longer in the original world.

As soon as she wanted to move, a lot of memories poured into her mind, looking at the life in front of her like a movie, Cheng Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart, no wonder the voice she heard just now was not nostalgic for this world at all, but it turned out that she was really miserable.

Because she is the eldest daughter in the family, she has taken on a lot of burdens at a young age.

And the original owner's father was a drunkard, and as soon as he got drunk, he began to beat people until he was tired.

As for the original owner's mother-in-law, she has been looking forward to the original owner growing up soon, so that she can be exchanged for some silver to supplement the family.

No, I just happened to meet her nominal mother-in-law who was in a hurry to give her son joy, and her father happened to have no money for wine, so for the sake of the relatively more money, she was sold by her father for wine money.

Although it is Chongxi, her mother-in-law did not wronged her in getting married, and there should still be etiquette.

It's just that she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the house, her titular husband died, and a happy event directly turned into a funeral.
