Chapter 306: The elusive traveling doctor
Winter is in full swing
On the shore of Akiyama Lake in the early morning, frost and grass are all over the sky, and on the surface of the lake, the fog is rising, like thin ice
I stood on the embankment of the lake and felt the cold wind hit, and after a while, my body was cold, and it seemed to be a biting chill
I was going to go around Qiushan Lake to look for traces of hares, and while thinking about it, I walked half a circle to the north of the lake, and I found the paw prints of the hare under a slow slope of withered grass, and I was very happy in my heart, and I thought there should be frozen hares nearby
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but crouch down and carefully look at the marks left by the hare, I stretched out my right hand to pick up the brown rabbit fur on the ground, trying to determine whether it was a male rabbit or a female rabbit
Unfortunately, when I reached out again to pick up a pinch of rabbit fur, a man suddenly rolled down from the top of the slow slope and knocked me to the ground
Along with it, I screamed, I almost fell into Akiyama Lake, although I am a half-pulled Mr. Yin Yang, I have experienced a lot of strange things, but I still can't stand such stimulation.
"Who are you?" I asked, looking back in panic at the ragged, almost frozen, old man-looking man on the ground.
Cough, cough he coughed dryly, as if with little strength he rolled over from the ground, and said:
"I'm your second uncle," he said, ruffling his long hair with his frozen fingers
"Erhezi" He brushed his long hair, and I finally saw his face clearly, in fact, when he showed his thick eyes at the bottom of the wine bottle, I recognized him.
"Is this second Hezi what you should call, where is the top hat that the young man should have, it is your father, I have to call the second brother when I see it," At this time, the second doctor Hezi was frozen like a dead man, and he wanted to fight for this face.
"Uncle Erhezi, what are you doing here" Out of the top hat, I have to give him this face.
"Damn, I froze to death last night" Erhezi suddenly got up from the ground like a corpse, it kept rubbing its hands, feet and cheeks, so that it could recover a little warmth, and it was no longer so shivering and cold.
"I said the second uncle, your old temperament of traveling in the mountains and rivers has not changed, you haven't had enough of it," I said with a hidden needle in my words, in fact, I wanted to scold him, you old bones, don't toss yourself so much
"I'm a traveling doctor, I'm used to this kind of upheavalous life" Erhezi suddenly laughed, looking at his smiling appearance, I suddenly had an indescribable feeling in my heart, in fact, my feelings about the character of Erhezi are quite complicated, he is a wandering doctor who has no fixed residence, he once saved my life, gave me the antidote to the corpse, it stands to reason that he has a kindness with me, I must be grateful to Dade, but the master repeatedly warned me before his death, stay away from the second Hezi, otherwise he will get into trouble, so, when the master was alive, I had a very bad impression of him, and my disgust for him had been even worse since he correctly predicted the date of Master's death down to a few minutes and seconds.
In fact, from this point of view, he is an old guy who is not doing his job, you say that you are a traveling doctor with superb medical skills, you don't want to think about how to save the life and help the wounded, and calculate all day long when others will die, which is not what it is to be idle
That being said, this is the most terrifying thing about Erhezi Actually, his status as a traveling doctor is not something I care about, what I am really curious about is how he has the ability to predict life and death
Actually, I was really worried, he met me that day and said, you died in a few minutes and seconds of that year, and think about it, if a living person knows the date of his death, how long can he last, even if he is alive, it is a feeling that life is worse than death, since, in this way, how can we talk about happiness and happiness
The second Hezi laughed for a while, and suddenly looked at the foggy swamp in a daze, I looked at his thin appearance, and I couldn't bear it, so I said to him:
"Second uncle, go to my new house to warm up for a while, I'll get you some food to eat so that you don't freeze your body" Compared to before, the scene of sabre-rattling as soon as we met, I feel like a saint at the moment.
"Thank you, your kindness, your very brand new house, how bad I go, I'm staining you, besides, I'm used to starving and freezing, and I can't die for a while" Erhezi said freely, but his body still couldn't help trembling, he saw that I saw the reason, and hurriedly said:
"Old, Parkinson's, Parkinson's, shaking, shaking, not to mention how annoying it is" Erhezi looked very weak, but he still pretended to be strong, grabbing the other arm with one hand, trying to stop the trembling of his body.
"Why do you say you're so old" I looked at his depressed appearance but couldn't peek into his heart at all, what did he think, I still couldn't help but speak, said:
"Second uncle, you said that you, excellent medical skills, this is recognized by the villagers in ten miles and eight villages, why don't you open a medical hall, just sit in it for treatment, serve blind dates, why do you want to be this wandering doctor, ten times nine times of serious illness can not find anyone, but, if anyone gives birth to a child, you are old and appeared"
"Ha, ha, haha" The second Hezi laughed, didn't come up in one breath, and almost fainted, and rolled his eyes at that time.
"Shao Erdan, Erdan, you don't give you the second uncle, I'm talking nonsense, when did I deliver someone else, didn't you deliberately bury me" Erhezi almost looked at me as he spoke, but I could see that he was pretending.
"It's pretty much the same," I was about to tease him, but he asked me with a blank face, saying:
"What did you just say?" he said suddenly.
"I said, you deliver babies," I still wanted to spoil the atmosphere of restraint.
"I mean, what did you say in the first few sentences" Erhezi suddenly became serious.
"I'll let you open a medical hall, hang the pot to help the world, help the poor," I said loudly to him, as if to wake up an idiot.
"Hanging the pot to help the world, helping the poor and helping the poor, isn't that what your master and apprentice have been flaunting themselves, didn't I say this" A look of disappointment flashed across the bark-like face of the second Hezi.
"What the hell do you want to say," I asked impatiently.
"Bump, Pei, flow, separation, four words, it's simple, he's like a knife ~ pierced ~ in my heart for decades, how many years have passed" Erhezi suddenly pressed his hand to his chest, as if there was an unreachable pain,
"It turns out that you don't like to live this kind of life yourself, but why don't you talk about it, your world is incomprehensible to us mortals," I sighed.
"I said I have something unspeakable, do you believe it, do you listen," Erhezi said lightly.
"For a person like you who sees through life and death, what is there to hide, just say it, and who will believe it?" I was skeptical.
"Some words, it's better to rot in the stomach, because, even if you say it, no one can understand it," Erhezi looked at me and said coldly.
"Actually, many times, I have some doubts about your otherworldly lifestyle, since you have the ability to predict life and death, then, you must know when and where you will die, so, when you know that your time has not come, even if you live in the bad weather and environment, you know that you will not die, right?"
"Heh" Erhezi suddenly smiled bitterly, and then said: "Such a miserable thing, you actually said it so simply, don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"Isn't this your way of life," I said, after a spin in my head:
"Second uncle, I've always wanted to ask you if you can figure out others but not yourself."
"What do you say" Erhezi asked a little puzzled, in fact, he should be afraid that I guessed.
"If you could figure yourself out, you wouldn't be in such a displaced"
When the second Hezi heard my words, his body trembled, as if he was said by me, he raised his head to the sky and suddenly laughed, and the smile made people look so bitter.
"It's true, Shao Xingze's senior disciple can even see through the heart of a person with a heart like stone, it's not simple," Erhezi waved his hand and praised.
"There, there, I'm playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong," I laughed.
"Recently, your master has appeared," Erhezi suddenly said of his master.
"Yes, it has appeared" I don't think there is anything to hide from a person who can calculate the life and death of the master, and he can't count the traces of the master's current situation, so since everyone knows it, they are simply calmer.
"Did he do something stupid again?" said the second Hezi.
"You think he's wrong, actually, he's there to save me," I said.
"Not necessarily, just to save you, he can't be so excited, you know?" said Erhezi.
"Say whatever you want," I know that all this can't be hidden from Erhezi.
"He only appeared to save his son, right" Erhezi stared at me, as if he had an ulterior secret in his heart.
"Yes," I replied truthfully.
"His son has died unexpectedly, but he was resurrected again, this is really not something ordinary people can do, it is really a powerful character, he no longer lives in the world, but he has the ability to decide life and death, in this aspect, he seems to be slightly better than me"
"How do I feel, you and my master, singing and harmonizing are like black and white impermanence, one predicts life and death, and the other intervenes in life and death, which is not something ordinary people can do."
"Indeed, in fact, my ability to predict life and death is all nonsense, because, no matter how I predict, when everyone should die or when they should die, there is no room for the slightest change, and the resurrection technique used by your master is very different, he can resurrect the dead, but the people who are saved, even if they are alive, they are still living dead, almost no different from the walking dead, the biggest difference is that the resurrected person will forget anything that happened before, and will remember what happened after the resurrection, but it is also a memory within ten days and a half months”
"You mean, Huzi has also become a living dead, right?"
