During the autumn equinox, the summer heat fades and the autumn is cool.

Two hundred kilometers northwest of Lianhai City, Jinshan Village.

After a night of autumn rain, in Jinshan Village in the early morning, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the air is clean and the wind is light.

Because of an autumn rain last night, the villagers of Jinshan Village feel that the weather has become significantly cooler again.

Uncle Li and Aunt Li, who live in the east of the village, are both in their 50s and, like other villagers in Jinshan Village, make a living from farming.

Two years ago, Uncle Li and Aunt Li's only daughter, Li Tingting, were admitted to universities in other provinces and cities.

Li Tingting stays in the city where the school is located to work every summer, and only comes back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, usually leaving Uncle Li and Aunt Li at home.

When I woke up in the early morning, wisps of cooking smoke rose from the sky over Jinshan Village.

Aunt Li is usually a very diligent person, but in recent days, she has been getting up later than usual in the morning because she is not feeling well.

The sound of walking came from the village road, and Aunt Li struggled to sit up from the bed.

Seeing this, Uncle Li hurriedly stopped, "Sleep a little longer, I'll make breakfast." ”

Aunt Li rubbed her sore arms and legs and shook her head, "I've been lying down for two days, I can't lie down like this anymore, maybe it's better to get up and exercise." ”

Uncle Li didn't comply, and let his wife lie back on the bed again, with her armpits in the corners, "Your numbness in your hands and feet, and back pain are tired from weeding in the rice field a few days ago. Listen to me, lie down at home for another day, I'll go to the river in the morning to catch a few fish and come back, and I'll give you more food at noon. ”

After Uncle Li finished cooking breakfast, he instructed Aunt Li a few words before leaving the house to work in the fields.

After finishing the farm work, before returning home at noon, Uncle Li went to the small river in front of the village and prepared to catch two grass carp with a fishing net.

The river in front of Jinshan Village has a name called "Jinshan River".

To the southwest of Jinshan Village is a stretch of mountains, and the water from the mountains flows down to form the Jinshan River in front of Jinshan Village.

The Jinshan River is just a small river that continues to flow eastward, joining the Rose River, another major river in Lianhai City, and finally flowing into the sea.

The Jinshan River in front of Jinshan Village, although the river surface is not wide and the river is not deep, there are many kinds of fish growing in it, and Jinshan Village is rich in rice, so Jinshan Village has become a well-known fish and rice village.

Uncle Li usually likes to go to the Jinshan River to catch fish, and his fishing skills are also first-class.

The net was fished into the water, and two grass carp were quickly caught.

Uncle Li carried two grass carp weighing more than one pound and hurriedly walked home, thinking that he would stew these two grass carp one in soup and the other in braised to replenish his wife's body.

Pushing open the courtyard door, Uncle Li saw Aunt Li working in the yard.

Uncle Li hurriedly put the fish into the kitchen, and complained distressedly, "Didn't you let you lie down and rest?" Why did you come down to work again? ”

"It's also painful to lie in bed, so it's better to come down and do some work." Aunt Li had just finished feeding the chickens and ducks, washed her hands and went into the kitchen, took the grass carp from Uncle Li's hand, and prepared to make lunch.

"I'll do it." Uncle Li carried the grass carp and prepared to be slaughtered and processed.

"I usually cook, do you know how to cook fish?"

"How not? I've seen you do it before, I'm so smart, I've seen it once or twice, and besides, I've seen it for most of my life, can it? ”

"You also know that you just look, you better stop doing it, but don't spoil two such good fish."

Aunt Li snatched two grass carp and began to deal with them.

Uncle Li was worried about his wife, so he stood aside, looked at his wife's rickety waist, and said worriedly, "Wife, you have been sick for several days, and you have not been getting better, or let's go to the big hospital in the city to take a look." ”

"No, what are you doing with that money?" Aunt Li skillfully disemboweled, broke the belly and scraped the scales of the fish, glanced at the medicine bottle on the kitchen cupboard, and continued: "The last time I went to the town hospital, the doctor said, I just ate something unclean, food poisoning and fatigue, and hung up the water in the hospital for two days, and we took the medicine home again, and it will be fine when the medicine is finished." ”

Aunt Li spoke in a tone that seemed to be comforting her wife and herself.

Although listening to Aunt Li say this, Uncle Li still faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, and while giving his wife a hand, he said: "Recently, the village is very evil, many people are like you, with back pain, and sometimes diarrhea, like us, I went to the county to see, and the doctors said that it was food poisoning, but everyone usually eats home-grown rice, fish caught in the river, and vegetables grown in the ground, how can food poisoning?" ”

Aunt Li also felt strange, "Could it be that there is a problem with the pig killed by the Shi family before?" Didn't one of their pigs die of illness before? ”

"The stone family was sick and dead half a year ago, the pig they killed a few days ago was alive, and I went to help when I killed the pig, and the pig looked very energetic. Besides, his family's pork is sold to people in our own village, and I eat it too, so I'm fine. ”

was said by Uncle Li, and Aunt Li also felt that it should not be a problem of eating Shijia pork.

The fish soup and braised fish were quickly ready, and Aunt Li also made a stir-fried small green vegetable with the fresh vegetables that Uncle Li brought back from the field, and stuffed two bowls of white rice.

After eating, the old couple was ready to take a break and go to work in the fields again.

Aunt Li was resting on the bed, and suddenly felt unbearable pain in her abdomen, which was different from the usual backache, like a knife stirring in her stomach.

"Old man......"

Your aunt shouted weakly.

Uncle Li was dozing off after eating, and was shouted by his wife and woke up immediately.

When I looked back, I found that my wife was pale, sweating profusely, and her hands were covering her stomach, looking very painful.

"Wife, what's wrong with you." Uncle Li asked in a panic.

"It hurts!"

"Where does it hurt!"

"Stomach ache! Legs and feet hurt too! ...... aches all over the body."

Aunt Li only cared about the pain, and cold sweat broke out on her head.

When Uncle Li saw his wife like this, he immediately panicked.

In the past, my wife often complained of pain in her body, but it was never so bad, but I didn't expect it to suddenly become so serious just after eating lunch, isn't it serious food poisoning?

Uncle Li hurriedly got out of bed and went to the kitchen, took the medicine he brought back from the town hospital before, brought a glass of water, and brought it to Aunt Li's mouth.

"Wife, take some medicine first!"

Aunt Li took the medicinal water.

It was only two seconds after eating, and the pain in her abdomen became more intense, and Aunt Li only felt that her stomach was overturned, and all the medicine and water, as well as the things she had eaten at noon, were vomited.

Uncle Li panicked and patted Aunt Li's back with his hand, but he didn't dare to push too hard.

It wasn't until all the things in her stomach were vomited that Aunt Li eased up a little and said to Uncle Li, "Let's go to the hospital, I don't feel well." ”

"Okay, you wait, I'll drive the tricycle, and we'll go to the county hospital."

Jinshan Village belongs to Jincheng County.

Jincheng County Hospital is more than 30 miles away from Jinshan Village.

Uncle Li drove his own agricultural three-wheeled diesel car and dragged Aunt Li on a bumpy road in the countryside.

By the time I arrived at Jincheng County People's Hospital, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon that day.

The person who received Aunt Li was still the young doctor from last time, a male doctor surnamed Wang who had just graduated from college for two years.

Seeing that Aunt Li came to the doctor again in unbearable pain, Dr. Wang briefly inquired about the previous situation.
