Chapter 29: Bruises
Not to mention what it would be like to burn this rune paper to black ash. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't dare to imagine just mixing this black ash into the water and letting people drink it together. Watching my mother hold my father and drink it down, I felt my stomach twitch a little.
But to my surprise, although my mother looked a little anxious, she was definitely not worried that the gray water was unpalatable, but waited for a while to help my father and asked, "Is it better?" ”
What kind of fairy is this, I remember that when I was a child, I was often sick, and it often took a long time to get better after taking medicine and injections. Who knew that his father squinted his eyes slightly, but he actually breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "It's much better!" ”
My father, who was lying on the bed after coming back, actually got up by himself at this moment, and he saw me staring from the sidelines, with a slight smile on his rare face. Although his face still seemed a little haggard and distracted, it was obviously much better than when he entered the house.
I was a little dumbfounded, and I could see how uncomfortable my father was at first. I don't know what my mother burned, and I don't know what happened to my father's body, but after drinking these talisman waters, the whole person is much better.
Although there are many questions, even the barefoot doctor Tang Yuxian in the village is behind, he doesn't go to the doctor, what is going on! But as my grandfather came to live here, my father slowly told everyone.
It turned out that my father was actually injured!
The factory where my father worked was the largest steel mill in our county or even near the city.
The fact that this steel mill was able to be located near us is said to have benefited from the original national highway that passed through our village. In the period of national development after liberation, many cities in the south needed industry, and in this environment, steel mills came into being.
And near our city, at that time there was only this national highway. Because our township is an important hub for the south and Guangzhou, and because there is a big river in the township nearby, this huge factory finally successfully settled in our township.
In the early development of the factory, there were more than 1,000 workers in the factory, and later with the development of the large-scale steelmaking period, there are now more than 10,000 workers and their families. These workers originally came from all over the world, and they were mainly people who had been transferred from the army and then employed.
Therefore, in the family area of my father's factory, some colleagues and family members who live in the factory can be said to come from all over the country. These people from different habits and different places gathered in that special era, and they quickly merged into one.
And my father didn't work in this factory at the beginning, and it is said that it was due to a certain chance later. Even if they live near the steel mill, there are only a handful of people in the vicinity who can enter the factory to work, and my father is one of the lucky ones.
My father was a relatively amiable person, but he made a lot of friends in the factory, because this kind of making friends benefited my father a lot.
Among them was a colleague from a small county in western Hunan and Chu, who was said to have ethnic minority blood. And I've seen this person, and his name is Long Fengzhi. The reason why I talked about this person was because my father learned something with this person.
My family, including my grandfather, knew about this matter, and I gradually understood it from listening to their chats since I was sensible. Because my father learned a bowl of water with this Long Feng, I definitely didn't know what it was used for.
As the nominal authority of the family, his grandfather surprisingly did not object, and every year when he made rice cakes during the Chinese New Year, he always asked his father to bring him some of the past. In this era when materials are relatively scarce, you can give these things to people, and the relationship must be excellent.
The matter of his father's injury was caused by this incident of Long Fengzhi. Because they have free time to work in the factory, these workers and colleagues are a little bored. Everyone got together that day, and suddenly it was time to make a bet.
As soon as my father said the specific reason for the bet, I thought of it. I also go to the steel mill occasionally, and I vaguely remember the environment over there. At that time, these workers said that whoever can lift a large channel steel in the place where the materials are stacked will win.
This matter had nothing to do with my father, because the bet was on a colleague in the forging workshop, and that Long Fengzhi belonged to this workshop, and my father belonged to the security department in the factory. However, I heard that my father wanted to transfer to the automobile class, but it seems that he has not been able to do so.
On this day, Long Fengzhi went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and my father took people to patrol the factory, so he encountered this incident. This forging workshop has always had several workers with great strength, and this Long Fengzhi is one of them.
According to what my father used to mention at home, he said that these people can usually stir up four or five hundred catties of things, and that Long Fengzhi has six or seven hundred catties of strength on his two arms. Everyone knew that he was not there that day, and deliberately squeezed these workers who were there.
Seeing that the few people there did not lift up, everyone began to heckle. When my father arrived, he heard that winning or losing would be the ten dollars that everyone had raised, and whoever lifted it would go to whomever he wanted. Although my father was tempted, he had no intention of trying.
Because the uncle named Long Fengzhi must have told him that everyone was in the factory, and his father had learned something from him, and he was afraid that he would know that he was showing off, so he didn't mean to show it in front of outsiders.
But the person who followed my father on this day was a person from our village, and this person was still a friend of my father, and everyone called him Tang Qigong. He heard that everyone said that Long Fengzhi was not there, and my father and Long Fengzhi were usually very close, so he asked my father to try it.
I want to find some people who don't know the specific relationship between my father and Master Long Fengzhi, but under his suspicion, there are people in the forging workshop who know some things, and they advocate for my father to try. Everyone contributed to the trouble, although my father was a little embarrassed, in fact, he didn't know the bottom at all, but in the end he tried.
Why did you try?
It was Uncle Luo who came to our house that I heard my father say it. Because someone added another five dollars to the bet, so that my father could try it. My father knew that person at the time, and that person had some problems with Long Fengzhi in the workshop.
Whether it was for that breath, or because of the temptation to add weight, or to give Long Fengzhi a long face, my father really tried it.
Uncle Luo actually rushed over, and I realized that the talisman paper was given by Uncle Luo, and my mother was in a hurry, and he didn't come with him because of family matters. But after hearing from his mother that his father was injured, he first gave a talisman paper to come back and burn it first, and then he arrived.
What surprised me was to see Uncle Luo with a kind face, holding a branch and leaf of a plant in his hand. When I saw it, I couldn't name it, but I knew that there were a lot of these things growing in the open space outside my grandfather's house.
I was also a little surprised to see my father's expression, and glanced at the things in Uncle Luo's hand, but he didn't open his mouth to ask, and I found out the reason later. Because these plants were actually planted by my father, we don't usually have them here.
Uncle Luo motioned for his father to take off his shirt, and I stood by and watched. But when I saw my father's appearance, Rao was something I had seen before, and I was also shocked at this time.
It turned out that his father was not thin, but at this time, his abdomen on both sides and the ribs under his skin seemed to be reflected. Although there is a layer of skin, the ribs are clearly visible under the skin or on the skin.
This made my heart tingle, and what surprised me even more was that my father's navel also seemed to be injured, because there was still some blood there.
"It's serious!" Uncle Luo frowned, and said in a deep voice: "When you are lucky, you can't withstand external forces, it's obviously a fork!" ”
I obviously didn't understand, but when I saw my father, he nodded, and said weakly: "Originally, it was tied with a belt, but when I first tried it, I thought it was almost okay, who knew that this belt was not as good as a cloth catty, and I couldn't hold it in one breath and was deflated, I knew it was broken!" ”
Uncle Luo didn't speak, but touched the ribs on both sides of my father with his hand, and as soon as his hand touched it, my father took a breath of cold air, obviously the place where his hand touched was very painful. He saw that Uncle Luo didn't squeak, and couldn't help but look at the plant again.
"It's me who was careless and abrupt! Uncle Luo, let's see if it will cause a big problem! "My father was obviously very worried.
"It's hard to say the extent of recovery now, and suffering is definitely inevitable, but fortunately I'm back these days, you're really bold!" Uncle Luo looked at his father helplessly.
He looked at the plant again and pondered, "Originally, I was not sure to cure you, because I don't know what you learned, but count you lucky!" ”
Uncle Luo picked up the plant, there was a smile on his face, and he said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that there is it here in your house, and this is the second time I have seen this, so I can only say that you are lucky!" ”
My mother looked at my father in surprise, then at Uncle Luo and said, "Uncle Luo, what is this?" ”
Uncle Luo was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at my father, but my father said with a wry smile: "I saw that Master Long's family planted this, because it was very lush and the color was beautiful, so I asked for a few to plant next to the old house." ”
Seeing Uncle Luo's expression a little excited, my father obviously knew that it was a good thing, so he gave my mother a blank look and said, "They usually look at the buds, and they are all cut to feed the pigs!" What exactly is this? "He knew that what Master Long had planted must be a good thing.
"The southwest side is called white herb, and the Miao Jiang side is called bone-setting grass, which is a special elixir for treating bruises and injuries!" Uncle Luo said quietly: "What you know is good medicine, and what you don't know is pigweed!" ”
Unexpectedly, this usually inconspicuous plant is actually a good medicine for bruises. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have been almost like everyone else, and I couldn't believe my eyes.
That's how amazing things are
