Chapter 9: The Rebirth of the Heart
Lu Mengjian heard it clearly in the kitchen, how could she have been scolded like this for so many years, her originally calm face instantly turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth and wanted to go out, but was pulled by Aunt Li.
"Mrs. Lin, you calm down first, Uncle Seven is still in the treatment inside, it's too early to say anything. You must hold back, wait for Uncle Seven to come out and draw conclusions, no matter what, I believe you! Aunt Li clenched Lu Mengjian's hand and said firmly.
"Thank you, Aunt Li," Lu Mengjian's nose flushed, and he didn't want to explain more, so he walked out behind Aunt Li.
I don't know when two middle-aged women came to the courtyard, standing not far behind the village chief, whispering in private, and when they saw the woman behind Aunt Li, they stopped and looked at it coldly. The village chief was discussing something with his back to Tongli, Li Zheng said a few words, and when he saw Lu Mengjian appearing, he turned his face to the side with an embarrassed smile, but the village chief didn't know what to do, and he still said slowly.
"I said his fourth uncle, this woman is a foreigner after all, the seventh uncle said that Mr. was poisoned, and only the woman who has been in contact with Mr. here is the woman, I really can't believe that it is not her poisonous hand......"
"Oh, I thought that the village chief was Bao Qingtian, and kept saying that it was Lin Niangzi who poisoned Mr., but it turned out to be just nonsense, but the village chief, there are gods three feet above his head, what we say is done, God can watch it, and besides, this is a matter of human life, you must not believe it, otherwise you will be punished by God if you have wronged a good person!" Aunt Li usually speaks extremely gently, but she didn't expect to say it so sharply today, Lu Mengjian stood quietly beside her, her eyes staring straight at the village chief's eyes, but the village chief was embarrassed, and her eyes looked away.
"Zhong'er and his mother, how dare we wronged Mrs. Lin, didn't I also hear from others, so I was angry for a while, so I ......" The village chief turned to look at the two women beside him, "Didn't you say that Mr. Lin was killed by his mother, how did you know?" "
The woman with a pockmarked face was glared at by the village chief, and she trembled with fright, "Yes, it was said by Liu Shi's family in the west of the village, and many people heard it at noon today, and she said that she heard Zhong'er say with her own ears that his master poisoned Mr. Lin......"
When Aunt Li heard this, she immediately became angry: "You said Zhong'er said it?" Where did that kid go, I have to break his leg to get him back! As he spoke, he was about to go out, when he met Zhong'er running back from outside, his little face flushed by the wind. When Aunt Li saw Zhong'er, she was angry, and she grabbed him and raised her hand to fight, but was pulled by Lu Mengjian and protected in front of her.
"Mrs. Lin, this kid has caused so much nonsense, and you still protect him!"
"Aunt Li, don't be angry first, ask clearly before you do it, what if you wronged Zhong'er, and Zhong'er is definitely not the kind of child who loves to talk nonsense," Lu Mengjian put Zhong'er's frozen red little hand in the palm of her hand for a while, and then Aunt Li gradually lost her anger and led Zhong'er to the village chief.
Zhong'er was frightened by Aunt Li, and she had already panicked, and stammered for a long time before she told the story of the noon meal, and even Lu Mengjian's sentence "Are you afraid of poisoning the rice" also talked through, and everyone understood that it was heard and taken seriously. It's just that Mr. Lin's poisoning is true, and this incident is too coincidental to inevitably make people misunderstood.
"Ahem, you guys are really lively outside, poor my old man is tired and tired in the house alone, why don't you even bring tea and water now," Uncle Seven sat on the threshold with his butt squinted, squinting at the crowd gathered around.
"Uncle Seven, Mr. Lin, he ......" The village chief hurriedly walked to the door, brought the cigarette gun to Uncle Seven's mouth, and lit it himself.
"Little neck, you have to change your temper, you are still in such a hurry to roar when you become the village chief, you have to be like the village chief. That kid is also a big life, and he will save his life for the time being," Uncle Seven stopped and took the tea brought by Lu Mengjian and drank it all.
"Save your life for the time being, but what about after that?" Aunt Li saw that Uncle Seven was selling Guanzi, so she couldn't help but ask again.
"Mr. Lin is indeed poisoned and fainted, fortunately the treatment is timely, but he has accumulated too many toxins in his body, I am afraid that it will be impossible to completely discharge them for a while and a half, and according to my speculation, half a year ago, Mr. Lin began to ingest toxins through the diet, but the amount was very small, and he did not show symptoms before, and then the poisoning became deeper and deeper, and it was not until today that the toxicity attacked."
"Uncle Seven, do you mean that Mr. Lin is because of chronic poisoning?" Li Zheng stood aside, but he couldn't understand this explanation, Mr. Lin is a kind person, how can such a person make enemies with others, and even do not hesitate to poison his food.
"In this way, Mr. Lin's poisoning has nothing to do with Mrs. Lin at all, right?" Aunt Li looked at Uncle Seven eagerly, saw Uncle Seven nodding slightly, and excitedly took Lu Mengjian's hand, a string in her heart was finally loosened, and she held Zhong'er into her arms guiltily.
"Mrs. Lin married Mr. Lin the day before she came to our village, I think this poisoning must have nothing to do with her, but I still can't figure out why this poison didn't attack until today." Uncle Seven traveled the rivers and lakes back then, and he also saw many poisoned people, but the most inscrutable thing is this kind of chronic poison that kills people without blinking, and there are many kinds of poisons in the world, and some of them cannot be judged by diagnosis alone.
"Does Uncle Seven know what poison Mr. Lin is in? What methods can be used to detoxify? "
"I'm really ashamed, I don't know the old man, as for the method of detoxification, I'm afraid that Lin Niangzi will have to find another master, the old man is old, it's useless......" Uncle Seventh looked tired, stood up and prepared to leave, and said uneasily, "I will make some mung bean soup for Mr. Lin to drink, and I will go back to check the medical book, I still have a friend in Pulan City, and the medical skills are very good, Mr. Ming'er Ruo is still unconscious, the old man, I will personally invite him to the head office." Let's all disperse, just leave two people to take care of it. "
The village chief asked Aunt Li a few more words before beckoning everyone to follow Uncle Seven and leave.
"Mrs. Lin, your face is not good, come into the house and rest, I'll go and make some mung bean soup for Mr. to detoxify, don't worry, Mr. is blessed at first glance, and it will definitely be fine," Aunt Li went to help Lu Mengjian, only to find that her fingers did not have any temperature.
"Now everyone knows that Mr. is poisoned, although Uncle Seven said that Mr. has been poisoned for a long time, and he can be regarded as relieving me, but I don't know if Mr. will get better in the future...... The village was willing to take us in because of my husband's teaching, and if there were really three longs and two shorts, wouldn't I be homeless. Lu Mengjian frowned, she knew that the living environment of women in ancient times was harsh, and she was inevitably a little worried.
Aunt Li heard it in her ears and snorted a few times, "Lady Lin, this is too unlucky, you can't talk nonsense in the future." Don't worry, no matter what, Zhong'er and his father will try our best to help you, besides, Uncle Seven said that Mr. Lin is fine, you just have to put one hundred and twenty hearts! After that, he returned home and took a handful of mung beans, added half a pot of water and boiled for more than half an hour.
The soup is dark red and has an enticing flavor. But Lin Daimo gritted his teeth tightly, Aunt Li held the soup bowl, and Lu Mengjian tried his best to break Lin Daimo's mouth and poured it for a long time, but after drinking more than a spoonful, most of the soup flowed down the corners of his mouth to the pillow, wetting a large piece of pillow.
"Lin Niangzi, you can't pour it in at all, what can I do?" Aunt Li looked at Lin Daimo's pale face, and saw Lu Mengjian frowning, becoming more and more anxious.
I saw Lu Mengjian take the soup bowl, take a big mouthful of mung bean soup in his mouth, bend down, and face Lin Daimo mouth to mouth. A bowl of decoction and medicine was delivered to Lin Daimo's mouth in half a moment.
In the evening, it rained lightly in the sky, and the broken basket that Lu Mengjian used to protect the cabbage seedlings from the rain was kicked aside by someone, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the young seedlings were washed away by the rain.
Aunt Li returned home to make dinner and send some some, Lu Mengjian took a small bite and couldn't swallow it anymore.
All night, Lu Mengjian sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her husband who was still like a stranger on the bed, still felt very unreal, since the day she woke up, all this was like a dream, too far away from her previous life, she always thought that after waking up, everything would return to its former appearance, but every time she woke up, she still saw this strange and ancient environment, day after day, she almost began to accept her fate, and even secretly happy, traveling to ancient times, I am afraid that every modern woman is dreaming like this, and it is too late to envy.
In a half-dream, she saw that her parents were suddenly much older, and it was still the same familiar home, and a baby on the floor who was walking and staggering shouted to her father and mother and threw herself into her mother's arms. Lu Mengjian suddenly burst into tears, she was glad that her parents finally had sustenance, even if she couldn't stay with them in the end, at least there was someone who could take care of their old age.
Lu Mengjian woke up, half of his arm was numb, the sky was white, and in the haze, he could see that Lin Daimo's face was no longer so pale, Lu Mengjian thought of a scene in the dream, as if he had finally come back to life again.
"Mom and Dad, forgive my daughter for not being able to continue to accompany me, you have always taught me to love life, since I can't go back, then live my own wonderful life here, and I will not let you down!"
Lin Daimo let out a slight moan, which was extremely loud in the silence. Lu Mengjian hurriedly came over, and the faint candlelight hit Lin Daimo's face. Lu Mengjian realized that his "husband" had such a handsome face, if he was born in modern times, it would be enough to provoke the on the side of the road to stop and drool, and it would not be an exaggeration to become a popular movie star.
"Hey, don't think that if you look good, you can let me serve you unconditionally, I don't think I have seen what kind of handsome guy this girl had, but seeing that you can let me stay here and not be displaced, I will take care of you once. Then again, you're really good-looking......"
