After lunch, Mrs. Zhang packed up her baggage, and Du Mei wrote a prescription for dietary therapy, handed it to Xiaolian to keep, and instructed her to eat carefully and carefully. Xu put more than 20 eggs in a small basket, along with the grains and sweet potatoes collected in the countryside, and sent some to Fengxian.

"Thank you, auntie." Fengxian snorted and said. She lived here for so long when she was in the most difficult time, and she had already regarded the Du Mei family as a relative, and she couldn't help but be a little reluctant to leave at this time.

"Go back, in the future, let Meizi have time to see you." Xu sent her to the gate of the courtyard and gently stroked her back.

Outside the courtyard parked Liu Gengsheng's carriage, when the phoenix came, but the master and servant three, one large and one small two burdens, when they went back, although they brought things from the countryside, they were full of heavy love.

Du Mei stood outside the courtyard gate, watching Song Shaohuai ride on the snow and leave with the carriage, leaving only the smoke and dust rising all the way to blur his eyes.

After turning a corner, the carriage was out of sight, and Du Mei was about to return home when she saw her grandmother Wei waving to her in a hurry.

Although Du Mei didn't like her, but seeing her face flustered and stumbling under her feet, she thought that Grandpa must be bad, so she still greeted her.

"Your grandfather, he...... He hurts so much! Wei grabbed Du Mei's arm, and Xu ran in a hurry, and a hoarse voice of despair burst out of her throat.

"Hurry back and boil water, I'll come!" Du Mei flew home.

"Oh, you can hurry up." Wei Shi showed a complicated emotion in front of this eldest granddaughter for the first time, both guilty and begging, she raised her sleeve and wiped it on her eyes indiscriminately, and wanted to turn around and go home, only to find that she was so scared that she couldn't stand at all, so she had to hold on to the wall and slowly move back.

"Mother, I'm going to Grandpa's house!" Du Mei hurriedly ran back to his room to get the cigarette paste jar, thought about it and took the silver needle packet, said to Xu Shi at the kitchen door, and ran away like a gust of wind.

"You ......" Xu wiped his hands and chased out to ask something, but Du Mei had long since disappeared.

The house was in a mess, the lamps, teapots, and cups on the table were all overturned on the ground along with the table, broken porcelain pieces were scattered everywhere, and two chairs fell to the ground.

Du Shicheng lay on the bed, the pain that eroded his bones made him involuntarily curl up, his whole body trembled, his face was like gold paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his shriveled cheeks like streams, and gathered together on the side of the pillow.

"Grandpa, I'll give you an injection first, and then I'll drink the medicine later." Du Mei didn't have to go back and forth for half a cup of tea, and Wei's water hadn't boiled yet, so seeing this scene, she had to give him acupuncture and moxibustion to relieve the pain first.

"Plum ...... You...... There can be ...... Poison? Give me one, save me ...... In this world, life is better than death...... Torture! As Du Shicheng spoke, his teeth rattled and rubbed.

"Grandpa, I am a doctor, I can only heal and save people! Bear with me. Zhong Yu said that this kind of pain is ten thousand ants devouring the heart, Du Mei saw Du Shicheng's appearance, her heart was shocked, she took a deep breath, picked up the silver needle, and accurately pierced the acupuncture point. After piercing more than a dozen roots in a row, Du Shicheng's pain was slowly relieved, to be precise, he was only temporarily paralyzed and didn't feel pain.

"Am I not going to live long?" The pain subsided, Du Shicheng's limbs stretched out, and he stared at Du Mei with cloudy eyes and asked.

Du Shicheng never imagined that it was less than a year before Erjin's death, and his life was about to come to an end, he was really unwilling, his eldest granddaughter would be able to become a great weapon in the future and shine on the lintel, but he was afraid that he would not be able to see that day. At this time, he thought in his heart that the sins he suffered every day were all deserved retribution, and he added a little guilt to the second room's family.

"How could it be, nothing!" Du Mei had a relaxed smile on his face.

Du Mei remembered that Zhong Yu said that what supported Du Shicheng to live was not only his body but also his faith. His body was already an uncontrollable wreckage, and his belief was not only the glory of Du Meiguang's ancestors, but the desire to live, and she would never be able to tell him the truth.

Wei brought the kettle and the blue-edged bowl, Du Mei turned her back, picked a little cigarette paste with chopsticks, and washed it with boiling water, the cigarette paste slowly dissolved in the water, she stirred while blowing cool, Du Shicheng's longing eyes kept staring, like a child staring at the sugar in the hands of adults.

Du Mei pulled out all the silver needles, and Wei picked up Du Shicheng, who only had a pile of bones left, and fed the potion.

"Grandpa, I saw that you went to the threshing floor a few days ago." Du Mei asked softly. Why did you suddenly have a seizure like this today?

"When is your grandfather not in pain? It's just that I endure it every day, saying that your medicine is expensive, and I don't dare to use it more! Wei picked up the table and said as if complaining.

"Meizi, I think the acupuncture method is good, if you are free, can you ......" Du Shicheng said and suddenly stopped, he looked at Du Mei, and lowered his loose eyelids.

Suddenly remembering all the tribulations in the second room, Du Shicheng was ashamed in his heart, what kind of face did he have now to ask Du Mei to take care of him.

"Acupuncture doesn't last as long as a medicine tube, if you want, I'll come and prick you once a day." Du Mei looked at Du Shicheng, and suddenly remembered his deceased father in his heart, and said with some tears in his eyes.

If her father was alive, she would not be able to bear the pain of her grandfather, she would only be filial piety for him.

"Okay, Plum." Du Shicheng felt no pain, tiredness hit, and he muttered in confusion.

"Your grandfather wakes up less and less, either the pain is unbearable and smashing things, or he can't wake up and eat!" Wei Shi was only now afraid of losing the old man who had been with her for half her life, and she said to Du Mei in trepidation as she picked up the debris on the ground.

"If there's anything wrong with Grandpa, just come to me." Du Mei put away the silver needle packet, took the jar of cigarette paste, and prepared to leave.

"Tell me the truth, how long will he live!" Wei grabbed Du Mei and asked eagerly. The nerves in her heart were too tense, and she was worried that Du Shicheng would die suddenly.

"How long can Grandpa live, it's all in your hands, you should know how to do it!" Du Mei didn't like Wei very much, she glanced at Du Shicheng who was asleep on the bed, and said in a low and stern voice.

"Me? Where do I have this ability? Wei took two steps back and leaned against the edge of the table.

"Take care of yourself every day, grandpa...... It's going to be fine! Dume paused and said something against his will.

If she told the truth to Wei, she was afraid that in less than two days, Grandpa would know the truth from Wei's attitude, and it was Du Mei who hurt him at that time.

"How can it be good, you have already given him ...... drink" Wei Shi was certainly not a fool, she pointed to the cigarette paste in Du Mei's hand and said.

"This is medicine, what should you be!" Du Mei didn't wait for her to speak, and stopped in a hurry.

"You're talking to me like that!" Wei couldn't stand Du Mei's confrontation, and was about to get angry, but when he saw that the house was full of messes, he was deflated again.

"Grandpa will be fine!" Du Mei repeated, raised his feet and left.

This is a lie, of course, but Du Mei can't say anything else at this moment except to say this!

Du Mei felt sad and walked all the way home, and Xu Shi saw that her face was not good, so he didn't ask.

It suddenly rained that night, and the cold rain beat on the window lattice over and over again, monotonous and lonely, Du Mei couldn't sleep, lit the lamp, nested in bed, and found the medical book that He Lian gave her.

Du Shicheng's lung disease is already terminally ill, but she still has a trace of luck in her heart, and she only hopes to find a way to bring the dead back to life in the book.

"Meizi, why haven't you slept yet?" Xu Shi pushed the door in his clothes and entered.

"That's it." Du Mei hurriedly hid the book in the quilt.

"You kid, you don't turn the oil lamp on when you read." Xu said angrily.

"Mother." When Du Mei saw that he was discovered, his face turned red and he said coquettishly.

"Is your grandpa bad?" When Du Mei came back, Xu Shi found that her mood was not quite right, and now he saw her checking the medical book again, it must be for this.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid it's ......," Du Mei hung her head in frustration.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature, if you do your best, it is the best." Xu stepped forward and touched Du Mei's hair and comforted.

"I know." Du Mei reached out and hugged her mother, snuggling up in her not too wide embrace.

"Does your Uncle Zhong Yu have a way?" Xu asked in a low voice.

"Uncle gave me pain relief ointment, and I gave my grandfather acupuncture today, and he felt comfortable, but none of these could save him." Du Mei sighed lightly.

"Even so, the strength to return to heaven is weak, and the cigarette paste is always poisonous, if acupuncture can make your grandfather live and suffer less sins, you can often go to him to see it." Xu is a very soft-hearted person, Erjin is gone, and she has always regarded Du Shicheng as an elder in her heart.

"Hmm." Du Mei nodded.

"Go to bed early, it's cold at night, catch a cold carefully, and look at it tomorrow, this rain is dense and dense, I'm afraid it won't be sunny for a while." Xu Shi took Du Mei's book to the table and twisted the lamp down.

Du Mei lay down very obediently, and Xu helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, wrapped her clothes tightly, closed the door and went out.

On the second day, the rain really kept falling, and Du Tao, Du Gui and the three boys of the Lin family went to school. Du Mei couldn't go out, so she and Du Ying changed the ducklings' nests at home and cleaned the duck shed.

The Du Mei sisters were busy until lunch, Xu made sweet potato porridge and fried pumpkin pie, Juniper had a mouth full of teeth, he sat in his own car, grabbed the pumpkin pie and ate it with a greasy mouth. He just jumped out and spoke word by word, he was very expressive, pestering Xu Shi to talk endlessly, it was just a small chatter.

"Sister, eat!" He saw Du Mei and Du Ying enter the kitchen, and immediately squinted his eyes, as if offering treasure, and handed over the cake that he had eaten half-eaten.

"Look at your saliva!" Du Mei washed his hands and face, and took a towel to wipe him.

"Woo, woo." Juniper shouted protestingly.

"Leave him alone, let's eat." Xu Shi came out with a plate of dried plum vegetables and roasted pork, and looked at their sister and brother with a smile.

"Meat, meat." Juniper held up his chubby little hands and stared at the dish with his eyes shining.

"Give." Du Mei took a piece of pork belly, sandwiched half of it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The pork belly was burned very badly, and the fat was soaked into the dried vegetables, and it was not fatty to eat, and the juniper took a few bites of the meat.

"Uh, yes." He stuck out his little tongue and looked at Dume like a puppy.
