I replied, "I don't know if she's a good doctor, she always doesn't have the patience to explain too much to me, and I'd love to hear the whole thing, and what stage of my illness has reached." So I'm still here to find Dr. Ji, you are the old doctor, at least in terms of experience, she must be much stronger. ”

The doctor in charge of these words was still useful, took out his wrist pillow, put it on the medical table, and said, "Let's take a pulse first." ”

I walked over to the table and sat down, my sleeves rolled up, my wrists resting on my wrist pillows, cold and biting. The exposed wrist was quickly numb - how long had it been since the clinic had opened? The wrist pillow is cold and dry, the table is also full of fine dust, and the fire in the house seems to have not been up for a long time. Besides, it's the New Year, why is it so desolate?

And why is there only one doctor in charge? Where is the apprentice who has been following the side?

The doctor in charge took a pulse for a while and began to ask me about my condition, and I told him one by one, including the particularly serious illness in early autumn, he listened very carefully, and sometimes he would clench his fists and cough, it seemed that he was really not in good health.

"How? But since I got sick in early autumn, I haven't done it again, and although it can't be cured, it's finally getting better, right? I withdrew my frozen wrist and gently held it in the palm of my hand.

The doctor in charge stroked his short beard and said in a deep voice: "I have seen the prescriptions brought by Xia Yatou some time ago, most of them are medicines that calm the mind and reduce qi and fire, and they are indeed much lighter than the previous medicines, and I also thought that Song Lingjian had cured your stubborn illness for many years...... But ......"

"But what?" I said nervously.

"Qi and blood are prosperous, the heart and pulse are weak, the two directions are extreme, the medicine is too strong, the blood is like adding fuel to the fire, the medicine is too yin, and I am afraid of the loss of the heart and pulse, this little half a year, you can sleep for a long time but sleep lightly, and the nightmare is indistinguishable from the real and the false?"

I nodded: "Well, I haven't slept well, and the more I sleep, the more tired I become, mainly because my eyes were ...... Something went wrong too, and there was nothing else to do except lie down and rest. ”

"It seems that the stubborn disease has accumulated to a limit, your body has been depleted for so many years, and then it will become more and more unable to support the miasma, it seems to be calm and unlikely, but in fact it is the end of the strong crossbow......"

"I ...... I don't understand, can you put it bluntly? "I was careful not to miss a word, but I knew it would definitely be a bad outcome.

The doctor in charge frowned, withdrew his hand and said, "I want to hear what Song Lingjian said." ”

I swallowed my saliva and said in a trembling voice, "She said...... She said I wouldn't live for a few years......"

The doctor in charge sighed lightly.

"Is she telling the truth?" My heart is shaking.

"Since she has confessed to you, then I have nothing to hide - I also told you about your current physical condition, to put it bluntly, you are now a stove with a hot stomach but a cold fire, you want to add fire to warm your cold fire, I am afraid that the furnace wall will be melted, I want to pour some cold water to lower the temperature of the furnace wall first, and then the cold fire will be extinguished, I am afraid that there is really a rejuvenation magic hand in this world, and it will be difficult to cure your strange disease."

"That's it...... If it can't be cured, it won't get better, will it? ”

The doctor in charge pursed his lips, nodded, picked up a dry branch from the ground, put it on the table and knocked it, and with a clatter, he put it in his palm again, and said, "Just like this dry branch, it looks as hard as chopsticks, and it can still support the pole, but—" As soon as he folded his hand, the dry branch broke in two, "It is just a hollow arrow, and when the string of the arrow comes out, it will be weathered and gray." ”

The two severed branches in his hands trembled with his trembling hands, and they hurt like they stuck in my heart.

"To be honest, Boss Yan, you haven't seen you sick and old practicing medicine for so many years, and when you came to me for diagnosis in the early years, I didn't dare to make any more guarantees except for prescribing some emergency cough or fire medicine. At that time, I judged by your condition that you would not live to be twenty years old. Later, you didn't come much, until Xia Yatou came to me with a prescription to catch the medicine, saying that it was for you, I saw the prescription, it is indeed very helpful to your illness, but your illness is carried since childhood, and it is difficult to pull it out, so you can only try your best to slow down the deterioration of your condition. The rest of the time, think about it in a different direction, and you can be regarded as earning it. ”

I couldn't tell what kind of mood it was, I just felt that I couldn't cry or laugh, so I got up calmly and bowed to him and said, "There is a doctor of Lao Ji." ”

The Standing Committee nodded, put away his wristbag and said, "No." ”

I stiffened out of the hospital, it was already dark outside.

Another day has passed, I thought about it carefully, it seems that I haven't done anything today, I am confused, wandering around, is it time to live now? I should have asked again that I have a few years to live at most, so that I can organize the rest of my life and not have too many unfinished business when I am dying.

Thinking of this, I smiled without tears.

"What are you laughing at, is a person stupid?"

I looked at Han Sanxiao, who suddenly turned out of the alley with a gong, in other words, I usually cry and complain when I encounter a bad thing, but now I can't tell the extremely bitter and tasteless injury in my heart, and I laugh even more stupidly.

Han San smiled and shrugged his shoulders and held the gong, standing crookedly, looking at me inexplicably: "It's really getting more and more stupid, so happy to pick up the silver?" Those who see me have a little bit to share! Four-six...... Sanqi is also fine! ”

I spat him and said, "You know the silver, can you say anything else besides the silver?" ”

Han San smiled and said: "Yes, then talk about eating, Sister Fei has had a toothache recently, maybe the food is too bad and I haven't eaten enough meat for a long time, can I add more meat to the meal or something?" Pork ribs, lamb chops, etc., I'm not a picky eater. ”

I glared at him.

He grinned and said, "Really, you see that the weather is cold, and people will have cold hands and feet if they don't eat more meat, I don't believe you touch it-" Then he reached over to touch my hand, and I opened his hooves fiercely.

He quickly retracted his hand, tilted his head, and said, "Why is your hand hotter than mine?" ”

I glared at him and said, "Why can't my hands be hotter than yours?" What kind of clothes do you wear every day, why don't you wear the new cotton clothes I made for you this year?! ”

Han San laughed, and looked coquettish as if he had fallen into some evil: "Hey, isn't this reluctant to wear it, for fear that it will be worn out before the New Year-alas, your hands are so hot, it can't be a fever, right?" Let me cover my forehead and see, it's not good to be sick during the New Year, who will cook elbows for me when you're sick, Xia Xia's girl is stingy, she is always harsh on my meal, and I am not allowed to eat two chicken legs in one meal......"

Saying that he was about to reach out and touch my forehead again, I pushed him away and said, "Go out of the way, don't take the opportunity to try to eat on my elbow." ”

Speaking of which, I also feel strange in my heart, in previous years, I was really afraid of the cold, everywhere was the stove and hot water covered with water, this year's winter seems to be colder than in previous years, how can I just wear a hat to walk outside for so many days?

Could it really be my illness?

I stopped, yes, these details that I didn't pay attention to, happened to whisper my condition, I had heard Han Sanxiao and Hai Piao say that the rust was toxic and dry, and at that time he deliberately said that he came to test Yan Cuo, to confirm that Yan Cuo didn't know about the rust at all - I have been touching the rust for many years, although the amount is small but it has accumulated over time, the rust has long been deeply planted in my body, and of course its dry toxicity will also make my body slowly hot......

"Hey, hey! What about the soul? Yan Fei came back quickly, and Han Sanxiao summoned here! ”

I was thinking about it, Han Sanxiao's hand was waving in front of my eyes, and the wind it brought up really made me cold for a while!

"I hate it, hurry up and get out of your shift, you're always angry with me!"

Han San smiled and came over to hold my arm, and said with a hippie smile: "There is still half an hour, anyway, no one in the yamen cares about me, I will play with Sister Fei for a while, let's say, where are you going, the master will come to open the way for you." ”

"Let's go, I'll go to Uncle Cai's place to order a few big hooves, so that I don't have to beg for meat with me every day."

Han San smiled with his white teeth and smiled.

The two of us walked side by side, Han Sanxiao held my arm without hesitation, and I didn't feel anything, it seemed that I had long been used to small fights.

The meat stall has already opened, Han San smiled and ordered five big hooves with Uncle Cai with a full of money, and repeatedly emphasized: "Money is not a problem, the most important thing is that the meat should be good and fresh, and it is best to be a lively and active pig, so that it can be chewy!" ”

I watched him giggle the whole time.

Uncle Cai still had a serious face, and Aunt Cai's smile was a little worried. It must be because of Brother Zhuzi's business.

After leaving the meat stall, I couldn't help but say: "Your virtue just now, I suddenly remembered an idiom, called...... What's it called......"

"Handsome and chic? Graceful? Ostentatious? Wishing you prosperity? Han Sanxiao's two eyebrows danced, twisting and provocating, making me laugh.

"It's a fox and a fake tiger!" I thrust in.

"Nasty." Han San smiled and poked my shoulder with the little orchid finger.

Han San smiled.

"You say."

"It's been a long time since we've been rocking the streets like this?" I was full of affection, enjoying this rare peace, putting aside my incurable disease, putting aside Yan Cuo's injury, leaving everything behind.

"Yes, the chances of the two of us coming out together are not high, don't you like to drag Song Lingjian's facial paralysis for everything? They always like to bully me together. Han San smiled and poured cold water on me.

I glared at him, I want to stir up love for a while, why is he so blind and so incomprehensible? I was so blind that I came to him to talk about my heart.

He blinked innocently and said, "I'm telling the truth." ”

I asked him, "It's almost the New Year, can you have any other plans besides eating, drinking, and sleeping?" ”

Han San smiled and grabbed his chin and said, "Yes, I can't count on a salary increase, I just want to have more New Year's money, hehe." ”

I couldn't help but commit murder in front of him, glared at him and said, "You are a single poor boy, why do you want so much New Year's money?" ”

"I'm short of money." Han San smiled and rubbed his hands, where did he make so many small movements?

"Your monthly money is luxurious from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, you are a bachelor and have no other hobbies, where did you spend all your wages?"

Han San smiled and grabbed his head, as if he was really serious about calculating the account, and finally rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know, the left pocket is in, and the right pocket is out." Hehe, anyway, you also said it, I'm a bachelor, and I don't have a wife and children to support, why should I keep so much money. ”

"You have to have some planning, what if you need the money? You can't borrow everything. I was dissatisfied.

"Isn't there Sister Fei, if you really have something, you can't not borrow me, right? Right? I'll pay it back, but it's going to be a little slow......"

I sighed, but what a big scoundrel: "Then you can't keep doing this, if you can't count on me one day, then what will you do?" From whom do you borrow from your virtue? ”

Han Sanxiao suddenly turned his head to look at me seriously, and said solemnly, "Why can't I count on you all of a sudden?" Could it be ......"

I suddenly felt fear, I was afraid that he would tell the truth.
