"Xiao Jiu, you just got rid of the fever, and your body is very weak, let me carry you." The bolt supported Zhang Jiuxin, walked for a while and rested for a while, and walked to the temple river after a tea time.

Zhang Jiuxin shook his head and insisted: "After crossing the eight-arch stone bridge, it is Guo Langzhong's house, let's go quickly." ”

The Zhang clan of Miaohe Village lives on both sides of the Miaohe River, the east of the river is called the East Zhang family, the west bank is called the West Zhang family, the West Zhang family is rich, and the East Zhang family is poor and weak.

Except for the winter solstice ancestor worship and some clan discussions, the East Zhang clan and the West Zhang clan do not have much contact, after all, the blood relationship has been seven generations away, and there is a huge disparity between the rich and the poor and status.

Guo Langzhong's house was on the west bank, and when Zhang Jiuxin and the others arrived, Guo Langzhong was carrying a basket and was about to go up the mountain to collect medicine.

......

"Hiss"

When Guo Langzhong saw the shocking scar on the back of the plug, he gasped, and his face changed without shock:

"You ...... The people in your family are also ruthless, no matter what, the bolt is still just a child. ”

Zhang Jiuxin was also distressed, and in his memory, the plug seemed to always have all kinds of injuries on his body.

After Guo Langzhong medicated and bandaged the embolus, Zhang Jiuxin asked Guo Langzhong to check the embolus all over his body, and then signaled Guo Langzhong, whose face had already become extremely ugly, to speak in the side hall:

"Uncle Guo, do you think there are any hidden dangers left in Brother Bolt's body?"

Guo Langzhong handed the handkerchief to the little medicine boy and took it down, closed his eyes for a while, and then suppressed the anger that wanted to burst into a foul mouth, shook his head and said:

"The whip marks on the back of the plug, apply the gold sore medicine once a day, and it will be fine for ten years. But ......"

Guo Langzhong sighed: "The old problem left by his previous injury on his left side, if he can't be treated in time, I'm afraid his left leg will be useless in the future." ”

Zhang Jiuxin's body was shocked: "Uncle Guo, no matter how much money you spend, please cure Brother Plug." ”

Seeing Zhang Jiuxin's anxious expression, Guo Langzhong's face softened a little, but then he frowned and said: "The hidden danger of the left foot of the embolus, it takes more time, and the precious medicinal materials can always be cured, but ......"

Guo Langzhong solemnly said: "The blood clot blocking his cranial nerve, if it can't be ablated in time, the embolus will be at risk of death at any time." ”

Zhang Jiuxin's pupils shrank: "What's the matter?" ”

Under Guo Langzhong's explanation, Zhang Jiuxin understood the truth about the inflexibility of the emboli's brain.

According to Guo Langzhong, the embolus was handed down as soon as it was born, causing a blood clot to accumulate in the brain and resisting the nerves. And not born mentally retarded children.

Once the blood clot is abbled, it can be normal as a normal person.

However, as we get older, the brain domain expands, and the compression of the blood clot on the nerve becomes more and more serious, and in a few years, if the blood clot does not ablate:

Then the adult day of the plug is the time of death.

......

After coming out of Guo Langzhong's house, Zhang Jiuxin, who was preoccupied, was silent all the way, and the bolt that supported her also felt her uneasy emotions, so she didn't say much.

"Xiao Jiu, give." I don't know when there was a dragonfly made of small bamboo strips in the bolt's hand.

Zhang Jiuxin looked at the cautious and flattering expression of the bolt, felt a pain in his heart, and said: "Brother Bolt is really powerful, this bamboo dragonfly is becoming more and more like the real thing." ”

"It's good if Xiao Jiu likes it, and Xiao Jiu is happy better than anything else." Seeing Zhang Jiuxin smiling, the plug let out a long breath, and the light in his eyes converged again.

When walking across the eight-arch stone bridge of the temple river and passing the pavilion under the big banyan tree at the head of the village, Zhang Jiuxin saw a familiar figure, sneakily entering a yellow mud tent thatched house that was half a section shorter than the other people.

"Brother Bolt, whose house is that" The original owner of Zhang Jiuxin's body grew up to eleven years old and never left the courtyard of the Zhang family, but there was a faint sense of fear in his memory of this thatched house.

"That's the blind mother-in-law's house." ”

Blind mother-in-law, a fairy girl who dances in the countryside.

A thought flashed through Zhang Jiuxin's mind, so fast that he didn't have time to grasp it.

As he walked past the gazebo, Zhang Jiuxin glanced back at the black mud and straw house.

The Zhang family was at the foot of Mochizuki Mountain at the east end of the village, and when the two were about to reach the foot of the mountain, they suddenly heard a conversation from the bamboo forest on the hillside:

"Ping'er, you're all, you're all ...... What's the matter, even if we want to hide it, we won't be able to hide it for long, so you let me go to your house to propose. ”

"No, in your family's situation, my grandmother and my mother will never agree to our family affairs, wait, maybe there will be some turnaround, you ......"

“......”

Zhang Jiuxin and the two stood and listened for a while, and then the bolt blinked and said, "Hey, isn't this the voice of the third sister?" Three...... Uh-huh"

"Shh Zhang Jiuxin never expected the bolt to shout, so he was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth and fled in embarrassment.

"Oops, oops, it hurts me, it hurts me."

Zhang Jiuxin didn't need to look up, just listened to this awkward snort, and knew that the person who collided was the second aunt Du Shi.

"Yo, it's Xiao Jiu~, why are you so careless when you walk." Du Shi, who was wearing a long jacket with a big red round neck, raised his hand to straighten the crooked velvet flowers on his bun.

Du's eyes slipped around Zhang Jiuxin's body, and then flashed into the courtyard like a plague.

The bolt scratched his head and wondered: "Why is the second aunt so good at talking today, I thought I would have to be beaten again." ”

"When things go wrong, there must be demons," Zhang Jiuxin thought, and the black thatched house of the blind mother-in-law's house came to mind again.

Pushed open the wood door and entered the courtyard.

Zhang Jiuxin saw at a glance the three vegetable dumplings on the plate on the octagonal platter table in the dining room of the upper room. Obviously, this is lunch for Zhang Jiuxin and the plug.

It is the rule of the Zhang family that men and women do not sit at different tables.

The old man is not at home, so there are only two meals at noon and at night.

Zhang Jiuxin took a bite of the vegetable dumpling, chewed it for a long time, stretched his neck and couldn't swallow it.

This vegetable dumpling is made by blanching the dried vegetables in hot water, and the soup is used to feed the livestock, and then the vegetables are chopped, mixed with the weeds, a small amount of rice, and then cooked and kneaded into a ball.

The weeds were meant to be fodder for the animals.

Zhang Jiuxin really couldn't swallow it.

The plug ate it with relish, swallowed a vegetable ball in the blink of an eye, saw Zhang Jiuxin holding the vegetable ball in a daze, and glanced at the last one left, and licked his lips:

"Xiao Jiu, what do you want, the vegetable dumplings have to be hot to be delicious, today Grandma Qian added lard, it's fragrant!"

Zhang Jiuxin saw that the plug looked at the vegetable dumpling, and his eyes were shining, and he handed the vegetable dumpling in his hand to the other party: "Brother Bolt, I just got rid of the fever and have no appetite, you can eat it all." ”

The bolt looked at the vegetable ball that Zhang Jiuxin stuffed into his hand, but he was suddenly stunned.

Zhang Jiuxin saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and hurriedly said, "Brother Bolt, Brother Bolt, what's wrong with you?" I...... I really don't have an appetite~"

The plug tilted his head, as if recalling: "Xiao Jiu, shepherd's cabbage dumplings are your favorite food, once you couldn't eat anything for many days, but shepherd's cabbage dumplings can eat three at once." ”

"Xiao Jiu, how do I feel that you have changed."
