Chapter 200: Human Nature
How did she answer at the time? She sat in the courtyard and looked at the afterglow of the setting sun, and she said, "The healer is benevolent." "At that time, the background was very messy, it was the first time she came to this town, everyone fully showed her thirst for life in front of her, the mother-in-law was carried by a strong man, probably a filial son, she took Yu Niang's hand and said something like that, heard Yu Niang say this, there was a look in Yu Niang's eyes that Yu Niang didn't understand, patted Yu Niang's hand and let the strong man carry her back, and the mother-in-law died that night.
Wei Yun had investigated the cause of the sudden outbreak of infectious diseases in the town, and she was very experienced in this area, going from house to house as long as she could speak, and finally found out that everyone drank the water from the river to cause this situation.
Yu Niang specially went to see that there was an extremely rare poison in the water in the river, and this matter was found out, and the water in the river could not be drunk, but this was not a way.
The small river is in the east of the village, it is a sweet spring that flows down from the mountain, the ancestors in the town have relied on a river for generations, whether they drink or grow crops, even if they do not drink the river water, but at this time the town is sealed, not waiting for the disease to die will also die of thirst, the water in the river has been cut off once, it is a great year of famine and many people died, some people say that this year's hot weather is fast, it is a sign of the great fierce, only then there is this disease.
Wei Yun sent a message to Lin Mo, and Lin Mo solved the problem, transported water from the outside, and distributed it to every household at the entrance of the village.
But the river that has been blessed for generations has been fine, why suddenly there is a poison that has killed countless people, this matter has not been investigated, which makes Wei Yun very distressed.
Yu Niang retracted her gaze and looked at Wei Yun who was sitting by the fire in a daze, covering her face for the past few days, for convenience, they tied the veils tightly on their faces, and stretched out deep red stripes at the end of the day, and it hurt badly after a long time. Yu Niang knew that she was thinking about the river again, so she called the little girl out and sent her boiled fetal medicine in.
The little girl's mother is about to give birth, which is also something she didn't expect, the girl's mother is pregnant and weak, and the illness is also extremely serious, it is not a simple few pairs of medicine can be cured, and now Yu Niang has not even prepared the medicine, she doesn't know if this disease will be infected with the child in the womb, but in her opinion, even if she can survive until the child is born, the child's condition will not be too good.
Yu Niang looked at the little girl's cheerful back, but she still couldn't bear to tell the truth, sat next to Wei Yun on a chair, threw two firewood into the stove for her, and said, "Do you regret coming into this town?" ”
Wei Yun asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"Because I suddenly regretted it last night." Yu Niang looked directly into Wei Yun's eyes, straight hooked, as if the flesh and blood could be cut off and the white bones could be seen, which made people a little frightened, she lowered her head and seemed to be a little self-blaming and a little helpless: "I know that as a doctor, it is my duty to treat diseases and save people, but the situation here is beyond my imagination, I don't know if I can still prepare a prescription to save them, I am afraid that I will also be infected......" She paused, and the firewood in the stove suddenly exploded, "I still have revenge to avenge." ”
Wei Yun didn't know what to say at this time to comfort her, saying that she also regretted it? Next month is the day she marries Lin Mo, she has been thinking about it for many days, and every day before falling asleep, she rejoices in her heart for another day. She has never regretted it, everyone has selfishness, shallow or heavy, but it will be exposed at the moment of crisis, this is human nature, it is the same. But if she hadn't paid attention to the little girl and hadn't come into this town, would she have laughed happily on the day of the wedding? If you don't, you'll be haunted by demons all the time.
She has always felt that she is not a kind person, she is still a very selfish person, for example, for Lin Mo, she even selfishly wants Lin Mo not to talk to other girls, let alone laugh with other girls, he only belongs to herself, but she understands that this is wrong, and the contradiction is here, she knows that it is wrong but she can't help but think like this. There is no right or wrong in many things, and it is good to be able to do it to yourself.
Yu Niang cut her hair, frowned delicately, and looked at the sunset, at this time the sun had already set halfway, and the faint light exposed the sun's true body to the naked eye, she said: "When I distributed the decoction to everyone yesterday...... she turned back to Wei Yun and added: "Just under the big stone in the middle of the village, I saw with my own eyes that a strong man drank his own medicine in order to survive, and also robbed a little boy of the medicine." The boy's whole family died, and he was the only one left. The strong man went to grab his medicine, he refused to protect it, and sprinkled a lot on his little hand in the pull, the back of his hand was hot and immediately red and swollen, he still didn't let go, I didn't have time to stop it, the strong man heard the accusations of the people around him, and kicked the child to the ground in anger, his head was broken, and he was bleeding, but he was hurt that the medicine was gone. I gave him a bowl again, and he said that his father had told him before he died that he was the only one in the family, and that he should live no matter what, and pass on the incense of their family. She paused, as if caught in the pain and self-reproach, and said, "I don't understand if I'm saving people." ”
"Save people." Wei Yun said affirmatively: "Human nature is evil, evil unscrupulous, just like a demagogic ghost, but it is sealed in everyone's heart, and everyone has an extreme thirst for life, which depends on whether you control the ghost or are controlled by the ghost." She lifted her spirits and said, "I don't see much as you see, I see the joy and gratitude of the people when they know that they will live, I see that the mother gives up the opportunity to give birth to the child, and many more." She looked at Yu Niang, "Isn't this what we came in for in the first place?" She smiled: "I was full of confidence in you at the beginning, and I also handed myself into your hands, you see, I believe in you so much, you have to have confidence in yourself, believe that you will always have a way." ”
Yu Niang really took this joke to heart, she remembered a method recorded in ancient books, transferring the disease to herself, so that she could feel the changes in her body more directly, and better and more effectively dispensed the prescription, but this method is extremely risky, and it is very likely to put yourself in.
She thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to give it a try, she ran to the river in the night, the water was not turbulent, and the crescent moon in the sky was slowly flowing, which seemed a little cold.
She ran all the way and sat on the river, a little out of breath, she didn't know why she was running, she stared at the river for a long time, the breeze blew, I don't know if it was an illusion or real, the air was mixed with the smell of river water and blood, and the smell of poison.
The smell of poison? She was amused by the thought of herself, what did poison smell like? Fear or death?
Her fingers fell into the water, the coolness of the river crossed a wave mark on her fingertips, she saw herself in the water, very calm as if she was just playing in the river by the river, but she knew that her heart was not at peace.
The moon on the water swayed gently as the ripples of her fingers swayed, and she whispered, "I can avenge the great revenge with my own hands." Holding the river water, she became very neat at this time, and drank the river water in her hand on her back in one gulp, and a little river water rolled down her chin all the way to her neck. The water of the river is sweet, but it is fishy.
After that, Yu Niang obviously felt that her body was not as good as day by day, her limbs were weak, and her body began to heat up, burning her cheeks as if she was drunk.
Wei Yun poked her face, her eyes were full of distress, but she still smiled and said, "The way you look now really makes people want to be pitied, and my heart itches when I see it." ”
Yu Niang smiled weakly, "I don't want you to come after marrying Major General Lin, in fact, I like you quite a lot." ”
Wei Yun was shocked: "It's not your ......"
Yu Niang is so weak that she can still raise her eyebrows, which makes Wei Yun admire it very much. She said, "See? Otherwise, you will be from me, and you won't be able to get out anyway, so it is better to be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks with me here, and it will become a pair of good stories in the future. ”
"Still passing it out? I'm afraid that someone will kill you and capture your heart when you are sick. She paused and said, "But I can have a good story with you in the next life." ”
Yu Niang asked suspiciously: "Why not the next life?" ”
"Because I have already promised to give Rouge in the next life, you have to wait until the next life." She asked with great interest, "Then when you meet me in your next life, do you want to be a man or a woman?" ”
Yu Niang was obviously a little speechless and didn't want to pay attention to her, so she simply closed her eyes, and after a while, when Wei Yun thought that she wouldn't answer herself, she suddenly said, "Be a man." ”
She was about to pour the water that Yu Niang was about to wipe her body with, but she was stunned for a while before she reacted, "Why?" ”
Yu Niang said: "Because it's interesting for you to be a woman." With Wei Yun dressing herself, she struggled to get up and sat in front of the candle flame to record all the symptoms that occurred on her body, read the medical books and combined what she had learned little by little, and found out what herbs were needed to prescribe the right medicine and cure the disease.
However, what Wei Yun didn't dare to tell her was that today Lin Mo secretly sent a letter to her flying pigeon, which meant that the emperor had run out of patience, and if the problem was still not solved after three days, he would send someone to execute all the people in the town and burn the corpses.
A few words brought disaster, and the note was unconsciously blown down from her fingers by the wind, and fell into the muddy water into a series of side shadows.
Lin Mo later came with another letter, probably to comfort her and Yu Niang, if something happened, he would save himself and Yu Niang as soon as possible, but now Yu Niang, if all her efforts were in vain, she didn't dare to think about what would happen.
