When Master Zhao and I arrived at the door of Ye Tianming's house, we heard a man and a woman arguing in the courtyard, and the man's voice was very loud, although he tried his best to hide the impatience in his tone, I could still hear it. We didn't rush in, but listened a little outside the door.

The man said: "I am kind enough to help you, why don't you open your mind, your house is dead, if you don't sell it now, you want to sell it in the future, but no one can give this price." I'm because our two families are next to each other, I just want a big yard, you sell this yard to me, and with this money it is enough to make a down payment in the county town and buy a small apartment, what a good thing, it's just pie in the sky, why don't you continue? ”

The woman said: "This place is where the Ye family has lived for several lifetimes, and this house was just rebuilt a few years ago. I said that I would guard it for him, and I would guard it for him, and I am not uncommon with any county houses, we are the lives of the people in the village, and my son will still marry a daughter-in-law here in the future. ”

The man said: "What age is it, let's not say that you haven't remarried, even if you remarry, who dares to say anything about you?" And this is a piece of broken land in the village, what is worth guarding, I really don't understand what kind of brain you have, you go to the county town to pay a down payment, slowly repay the loan, your child can still go to primary school in the county town in the future, it is not the life of the poor ravine, you are brainless, not only delay yourself, but also delay the future of the child, do you know?" As he spoke, the man's voice rose up.

For the man's understanding and affection, the woman didn't answer at all, but said: "You be quiet, my child has a fever, and he just fell asleep for a while, don't wake up again." ”

The man said: "Okay, I'll just talk about it today, you can think about my words, you have been a neighbor for so many years, you ask Tianming's mother, Tianming and I grew up with bare buttocks since childhood, I can't bully his orphans and widows after he leaves." I do want this land, and there's nothing to hide, but I definitely don't mean to cheat you, so you can think about it. ”

Listening to the footsteps, the man should be leaving, and the footsteps came in the direction of the gate. It must have been too late for the two of us to hide, so we had to pretend that we had just arrived at the door, and I raised my hand and knocked on the door.

As a result, I was about to knock on the door, and the man pulled the door to come out, and the door opened, and my hand went out. Just like when you eat, you don't feel like you bite with much force, but if you accidentally bite your tongue, the feeling is guaranteed to be unforgettable, and there is a half chance that the bite will bleed.

This man is also unlucky, he doesn't go out to see if there is anyone outside, he doesn't know how to hide when he slaps him, and he directly has a striking big slap mark on his face.

The kid's face turned black in an instant, and before I could withdraw my hand, he grabbed my wrist, twisted it behind my back, and grabbed it directly.

I shouted, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just knocked on the door and didn't notice someone coming out." ”

But the man listened to me, and took me into the courtyard.

The man said: "I said brother and daughter-in-law, this is that you are not particular, the dawn is gone, if you have anything to ask me for help, I have not shirked it." Even if there are other things in my family, I try my best to arrange, I really squeeze together, I find someone else to deal with our family's affairs, I also come over to help your family first, knowing that it is not easy for you orphans and widows, I can take care of it as much as possible, and I don't talk nonsense as my brother. Even if I take a fancy to this yard this time and want you to sell it to me, the price I give is fair enough, only give more and not give less. Although we haven't negotiated, every time I come over, it's easy to talk and discuss, and I'll bring you something, I think I've done enough, what's the matter with you ambushing people outside to beat me? ”

The woman who was talking in the courtyard just now was Ye Tianming's daughter-in-law, who was going to enter the house, but as soon as she saw us entering the courtyard, she turned her head back again: "If you want to fight outside, my child needs to rest, don't make any noise about him." Brother Zhuzi, although I am a woman's family, but I am not an ungrateful person, we can't sell this yard for our reasons, but Brother Zhuzi has always helped take care of it, I keep it in my heart, even if I am a woman's family, there is nothing to repay you, when Xiaohai grows up, I will always let him remember Uncle Zhuzi's kindness, and I have the ability to repay it, after all, you have helped us in our most difficult time. I didn't find anyone to ambush you, let alone beat you, and I don't know these two people, they probably went to the wrong door. ”

In this way, this man is the pillar that Ye Tianming mentioned to me last night, listening to these two people, although this pillar is fierce in appearance, but it is not a bad person, I just wanted to explain to him again, but his arm was twisted by him, and now he is hunched, and he can't even breathe smoothly, and he can't even speak for a while.

Master Zhao also wanted to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't interject at all, and when the pillar heard Ye Tianming's daughter-in-law say that he didn't know the two of us, he didn't give us a chance to explain, and said to Ye Tianming's daughter-in-law: "That's okay, you take good care of the child first, if you need help, you can branch me at any time, if we can't make this deal, I will still be your pillar brother." ”

The woman thanked her and went into the house again, while I was escorted by the pillar, went directly out of the yard, and was escorted into another house, and Master Zhao naturally only trotted all the way over. I really regret not letting Xiaohui come along, if this little girl was here, the situation would have been reversed a long time ago, and it would be my turn to be bullied?

But thinking about being bullied, I actually wanted to let a woman protect me, and I was out of luck, this kind of thought, it's better not to have it, but one day if the awesome Peng Peng in their mouth really comes, I must let this master teach me a few kung fu.

The pillar threw me into the yard, and then backhanded the gate shut, and locked it with a thud.

Master Zhao was so anxious that he shouted, "What are you doing?" If you dare to be rude, I can call the police! ”

I thought to myself: What are you doing? This doesn't need to be asked, this is called closing the door and beating the dog, if the two of us want to go out today, it is estimated that it will be difficult.

Zhu Zi looked at me with disdain, his face no longer had the honest and righteous energy he had when he was at Ye Tianming's house before, he pulled a chair and sat down by himself and said, "Let's talk about it, which way, is it also the idea of that courtyard." I tell you, no one wants to shoot me with anything I fancie. ”

I hurriedly said: "Big brother, you really misunderstood, we are not from this village, even if we ask him for this yard, it is not much use, I am a colleague before Tianming, Tianming is gone, I will come over to see if there is anything I can help." ”

The pillar snorted coldly and said: "Less garlic, Tianming used to repair cars, and he was alone in that stall, where did he come from." ”

Master Zhao also hurriedly came over and said: "It's really a colleague, although it's not a long time, but it's also considered to be a work together, when it's not dawn, we also came over to help send it, think about it, is there such a thing?" ”

Hearing what Master Zhao said, I really remembered that at Ye Tianming's funeral that day, I had seen this pillar, and at that time, he was really working very hard, and he was really busy with his own family's affairs.

The pillar thought for a moment and asked, "Are you from the paper shop?" ”

I said, "Yes, yes, it's from the paper shop, it was a misunderstanding just now, and I really didn't mean it." ”

Although the identities of the two of us were confirmed, the vigilance on Zhuzi's face did not relax, but said: "It's a person from the paper shop, it's even more suspicious, I know that this old man surnamed Zhao is a bit of a Taoist, and eighty percent is also eyeing the things in the cellar, but I tell you, that thing now has a master, I know that you have a Taoist person, and you won't put me in the eyes of an ordinary villager, but I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm just an errand runner, and the people who really want that piece of land feel that it's not something you can provoke. I advise you not to wade into troubled waters. ”

Master Zhao sighed and said: "What kind of troubled water did I wade, Tianming can be regarded as an acquaintance with us, his child is sick, his daughter-in-law chatters with him, he doesn't know whether he is usually sick or bumped into something unclean, he is not at ease, so he came to us to take a look, this is the miracle doctor in our paper shop, we are here to see the child today." ”

Zhu Zi said suspiciously: "Tianming is looking for you? He's gone, how can I find you? Don't play false, fool me with the dead. ”

Master Zhao was ashamed to say, "What am I fooling you for?" Tianming is indeed a ghost now, but what kind of business does our paper shop do, you should have heard of it, he can't find it when he looks for you, if you want to talk to us about something, it doesn't take much effort. ”

Zhu Zi nodded and said: "Okay, I believe you once, your child is indeed a little sick and a little abnormal, the past two days have always recurred and fever, the medicine has not been less, but it has not improved, you can go and see." But you can't see their families alone, so I'll go with you. ”

Master Zhao said: "It's nothing, then let's not delay, let's go see the child quickly." ”

The three of them returned to Ye Tianming's house, and found that the door had been locked from the inside again, and knocked on the door for a long time, only to see Ye Tianming's mother come to open the door.

As soon as I entered that room, I felt that something was wrong, the blackout curtains were tightly drawn, the inside of the room was very dark, and the temperature was several degrees lower than the outside, not only the temperature was low, but also gave people a cold and cold feeling, I don't know how to describe it, anyway, as soon as I entered the room, I had goosebumps. On the day of Ye Tianming's funeral, I also entered this room, and at that time I felt that as long as it was in a relatively dark environment, it was possible to see the cause of Ye Tianming's death, so I also tried to pull this curtain, but no matter how I pulled it, there was light at the edge that would penetrate in, and then I had to give up this room and go to the cellar instead.

Now I don't know if I changed the curtains, but I actually pulled them tightly, and there were no seams at all. In such an environment, even if you are not sick, you have to hold back your illness, not to mention that there is a child who is sick and has a fever.

I took a look at the child lying on the bed, and Ye Tianming's daughter-in-law who was sitting on the side, I don't know if the eyes didn't adapt to the darkness in the room for a while, looking at the child There are ghosts, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, all of them are two layers, and the hair is also overlapped with two different hairstyles, one is the kind of short hair of an ordinary rural boy, which is basically equivalent to no hairstyle, all shaved bald, and then naturally grow for a month, it should be this hairstyle, the other one, It is similar to the kind of boy in the New Year's painting, most of the head is shaved and smooth, but there is a piece on the top of the head, which is neatly trimmed.

I wanted to take a closer look, but it may have been that several people entered the house and affected the child's rest, and the child turned over, pulled down the quilt by the way, and covered himself with his head in the quilt. His mother wanted to pull the quilt open for him, but he insisted, and in the end his mother had to cover his head with a quilt, but the cover was not so tight, leaving a little seam, so as not to suffocate the air in the quilt.

I asked, "It's so dark, why don't you open some curtains?" ”

Because the darkness was so depressing to me, without waiting for Ye Tianming's wife to agree, I went around and wanted to open the curtains, but when I got to the window, I found that the curtains were all tightly glued to the wall with tape.

My reckless behavior also made Ye Tianming's wife very disgusted, looking at my eyes, in addition to vigilance, it was hostility.

The old lady hurriedly explained: "This is Master Zhao of the paper shop and the little doctor of the paper shop, I saw it on the day I left tomorrow, I heard that the child was sick and came to visit, don't worry about it." ”

But the old lady's words didn't make Ye Tianming's daughter-in-law look at us much better.

Obviously, we all came empty-handed, and if we were to visit a sick child, we would have to buy something for the child. But I'm not an ordinary patient now, we're also a miracle doctor now, thinking that I should still take out my confidence, so I asked: "How long has the child been sick, and what are the symptoms now?" ”

Ye Tianming's wife hesitated, but still said: "I've been sick for two days, except for repeated fever for unknown reasons, there are no other obvious symptoms. After thinking about it for a while, he added, "Sometimes I say that my eyes hurt and I am afraid of light, so I pulled up all the curtains." ”
