Chapter 111: Aunt Gu's strange illness

I wanted to walk from the village chief's house on the front foot, and then go to visit He Tongtong and Aunt Gu on the back foot when I went home to pick up my things, but I didn't think that I couldn't write a book by coincidence, either because there was a guest at home, or I was called by my adoptive parents to help.

I didn't go to He Tongtong's house, He Tongtong, a girl, but she came to my house to worship the last year.

I haven't seen her for a few years, and Tongtong has become a big girl, taller, and her face is beautiful, and she is a little beauty. If I meet this on the street, no one will say it, and I really don't dare to recognize it.

She looked at me with a look that was obviously different from before, timidly called me "Brother Xiaoshuo", and then went to talk to my adoptive mother and grandmother, glancing at me from time to time, seeing me looking at her, but turning her head and refusing to pay attention to me.

I don't understand what medicine is sold in this girl's gourd, and it's hard to ask, so I can only smirk.

The fat man poked me quietly and whispered in her ear, she seems to be interested in you......

I'm baked! When will a fat man look at his face? Why didn't I see it?

However, although the little brother and I are very good-looking, I don't have any thoughts about He Tongtong. We both grew up with bare butts, and in my heart, she is not much different from my biological sister.

The probability of such a thing as a childhood sweetheart is always smaller than the probability of not being cold to each other.

After chatting for a while, He Tongtong was leaving, and I said that it was just right, I had everything ready, and I just happened to go with you to see Aunt Gu.

Hearing that I was going to come to the door, He Tongtong's face changed, and he said that there was no need to bother, my mother was not in good health, and she was afraid of scaring me. I said that she was outside, and it was my aunt's poor health that I was going to visit as a junior.

This time there are more things to mention, and I especially caught the fat man as a strong man. This thing is teasing me, saying that he is not a light bulb? said that He Tongtong's cheeks were hot, and the red clouds were flying frequently, and I was even more embarrassed to death.

He Tongtong is a year younger than me, and when we talked on the road, I learned that she did not continue to study after graduating from junior high school, first working as a waitress in a restaurant in the county seat, and then resigned due to an accident at home.

After being introduced, he came to a hair shop in the town as an apprentice, until now. Since it is a small job and it is in the learning stage, the salary is not high. But fortunately, she can learn a trade, and she is close to home, so she can take care of her mother.

When I asked about Aunt Gu's condition, He Tongtong's face was clouded, saying that her body was finally recuperated, but her brain was not clear, and she said some inexplicable things from time to time, sometimes she knew people, and sometimes she didn't even know her.

I comforted her, saying that as long as people are okay, it is a blessing, if there is a problem at home, just tell me, although your little brother does not make a lot of money, but you must help!

He Tongtong nodded again and again, and her eyes quickly turned red.

Pushing the door into the courtyard, everything in front of me made me feel a little desolate. It's the end of the year, and basically every household has stools and small tables in their yards, and the tables are full of sweets and snacks, and they look jubilant.

But this place is deserted, and even the couplet posted on the door does not know how many years it has been pasted, and it has long been broken. The yard has obviously not been cleaned up for a long time, the walls are crawling with moss, and the red bricks on the ground are also pitted and overgrown with weeds.

There was no chicken shed in the empty courtyard, there was a small stone mill, and the wooden handle was broken. Other than that, there was only a bamboo chair with a puddle of black liquid on it, I don't know what it was, it was a little weird.

A strong smell of Chinese medicine rushed to the nostrils, as if to silently remind the visitor that someone in the family was sick.

"Mother, Brother Xiao has come to see you!"

No one responded.

"Strange, I was still basking in ......the sun just now," He Tongtong muttered, pushing open the door of the main house and leading us inside.

The furniture and furnishings in the house look like they were from many years ago, and they look a little outdated and dilapidated, covered with a layer of dust. The walls were yellow, cracks and cracks, and even the skin was about to fall off.

The smell of Chinese medicine is stronger. There seemed to be a muffled voice from the back room, which was very low, like thunder, and like a swarm of bees buzzing, and it was impossible to hear the content clearly.

He Tongtong pushed the door of the inner room with his hand, and the door was locked inside: "Mother, Brother Xiao Bolt has come to see you......"

Aunt Gu is a patient, and she is the opposite sex for me, so I naturally don't want to knock on the door, so I shouted through the door: "Auntie, I'm a little bolt, I'm here to pay your respects!" I wish you good health and a long life! ”

The muffled voice stopped instantly, and I felt a chill under my feet, as if some cold air was beginning to emerge from under the crack in the door.

The pungent smell of Chinese medicine rushed to my nostrils, a strange mixture of herbs and some unknown strange smell, even a rotten stench, that made my chest feel stuffy and lightheaded.

At the same time, the people in the room suddenly laughed, and the laughter was hoarse, as if a breath was held in the throat, and it was a little creepy.

The laughter continued, but the words seemed to pop out of the continuous laughter, although the voice was still hoarse and low, like thunder, but because it was close enough, this time I could really hear it clearly.

What she said was - "you boo".

The word "hey" is a dialect of my hometown, and when translated into Mandarin, it means "deliberately".

I can't determine the meaning of Aunt Gu's words, and I can't even determine whether the sentence is an affirmative sentence or an interrogative sentence. I don't understand how a person can speak while laughing non-stop.

The laughter faded away, and the sound of babbling and incomprehensible conversation came from the room, as if they were asking and answering themselves, and they could no longer hear clearly.

He Tongtong shook her head and said that her mother was still basking in the sun in the yard just now, and she was fine, but she became delirious again after going out for a while.

When I recall the impression of Aunt Gu, she was a beautiful and kind woman, and in the end she became what she is now, I really don't feel good in my heart. I could only comfort He Tongtong and prepare to say goodbye to the fat man.

He Tongtong sent the two of us out, and I found out that in a small room near the bedroom, the lights were on in broad daylight.

It may not be strange that the lights are on, but there is also a small offering table in this room, on which incense is lit, the smoke is filled, and the offerings are complete, but the offerings are covered by a red cloth, which is particularly mysterious.

I'm curious, but I'm not surprised by this kind of thing.

As I said before, superstitious ideas are prevalent here, and there are many gods to worship, and He Tongtong's family is in trouble, so this kind of spiritual sustenance must be indispensable.

As for whether Aunt Gu is psychic as her adoptive mother said, I don't have any idea. She is still a patient herself, and I hope that she will be healthy and recover sooner than by helping others.

I took out the prepared 2,000 yuan and stuffed it to He Tongtong, saying that it was a little heart. She refused to accept it, and took my hand and asked me with red circles in her eyes, now that her family is in trouble, will I dislike her?

I shoved it into her pocket, and then gently pulled her ear, saying that when you were a child, I never disliked you when you smeared my snot all day long, and of course not now!
