"Well, the little girl who lives in my house. Her homeroom teacher called me yesterday afternoon and said she had a stomachache, so I went to see her. Who thought she had been in pain for two days. Acute appendicitis. I couldn't delay any longer, so I operated on her that night. She is still lying in the hospital. ”

"Did you keep her guarded all night?"

"I watched her go to bed until five in the morning, but I didn't expect to oversleep and ...... She's still getting a sling. I said.

"Isn't there a single one in her house?"

I shook my head, "No." Her mother, who had been married from out of town, died in April this year. And her father is the only seedling, and now he is working in other places. ”

It's not that I can't understand the meaning of Hao Junqi's words, so I explain in detail.

"How...... That's it. How do I feel like people all over the world are looking for my brother when they are sick. ”

"I'm sorry."

"It seems that it is really not easy to go to the East Gate. If my brother is not free, I will go alone next time. Hao Junqi let out a long sigh.

"No, no. Don't say that. Saying that, my brother will be sad. Next Saturday. Definitely going next Saturday, rain or shine. I swear.

"Didn't Brother Ke say last time that he would put everything off this Saturday? Also, why always wait until Saturday to go? Hao Junqi was resentful again.

"I could have gone any day, but Xiaorou was hospitalized for at least three or five days." I say.

"I'm afraid that next Saturday my brother will pop up again."

"No, not really. Not this time. I swear, "By the way, I have something to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter?" Shadows filled the sky over Hao Junqi again.

"I'm going to go to your house for dinner these days. You cook for me. I said.

"Really? Is what my brother said true? The shadows quickly dissipated, and Hao Junqi seemed to be unable to believe her ears.

"Of course it's true. As soon as Xu Xiaorou got sick, no one cooked for me. By the way, you still have to cook Xu Xiaorou's rice. ”

"That's fine. In this way, it is worth the hard work for two hours. Brother doesn't know how sad I am for these two hours. "We left the big camphor tree and walked towards the concrete road.

"I can guess if you don't say it, so when I think it's Saturday, I feel like it's over." I say.

"Brother is saying that Junqi is my brother's god?" We walked to where I parked.

"Well, Junqi is my brother's heaven or my brother's land."

"I knew I was going to me, but I like to hear it. Actually, my brother is my heaven and my earth. You see, in the first two hours, I even swore that I would never pay attention to you again, and you said that I would go to my house for dinner in the past few days, and I would have no gas. ”

"It's Junqi who is generous and forgives my brother's carelessness. I can't help but feel sorry for you when I think about it. ”

"Needless to say, I'm sorry," Hao Junqi's mood was brighter than the sunshine at the moment, "In just a quarter of an hour, you said more than a dozen times that you can't help it." ”

Walking to the place where I parked, I offered to take Hao Junqi home, but Hao Junqi refused, and she wanted to go to her colleague's house to pick up Hao Jia.

"I still go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables first, and then go to pick up Jiajia after buying the vegetables. By the way, what kind of food does my brother like to eat? Hao Junqi asked.

"As long as it's Junqi's roasted vegetables, I like to eat it." I say.

"I don't believe it." Hao Junqi said with a smile.

……

When I rushed back to the hospital, Xu Xiaorou had already changed into a second bottle of potion.

Jin Limei is chatting with the patient's family. The old man lay on the bed, as if he was asleep, breathing with difficulty. The patient's family has become numb.

"Uncle." Xu Xiaorou was the first to see me. Her bed was right next to the door.

"I'm back." I walked into the ward and sat down on a square stool next to Xu Xiaorou's bed, "Is it okay?" ”

"It's fine." Xu Xiaorou said.

Jin Limei walked over. "What's going to happen with me? How? Didn't you go to the East Gate, with your sister? ”

"How do you know I'm going to the East Gate?" I asked.

"I told Sister Jin about it." Xu Xiaorou said.

"Hmph, you think no one will tell me if you don't tell me." Jin Limei made a straight face.

"You really will wronged people, why don't I tell you, wasn't it a hundred thousand in a hurry at that time?" I say.

"Is that an exaggeration? Don't you have a lot of time to release my pigeons, and I don't see you in such a hurry? ”

"yes, I see you're messing around again. When do I let your pigeons go? I argued.

"Still say no? That time, that time, that time. ”

Xu Xiaorou couldn't help but want to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh.

"Don't laugh. This is the ward. "I reminded Jin Limei," made Xiaorou laugh, and the wound would be affected. ”

"I'm not laughing. Xiaorou, do you believe what your sister said? ”

Xu Xiaorou covered her mouth and nodded.

"Okay, seriously, why don't you go to the East Gate? I heard Xiaorou say that you agreed to go to the East Gate, and this is the second time. Also, has your sister really not been to her hometown for eighteen years? Jin Limei said.

"Yes." I say.

"Then you can take her with you. I wondered, why didn't I go back for 18 years? ”

"I haven't been to the East Gate for eighteen years, who are you talking about?" The family member of the patient next door interrupted us, "I'm Yongtai." ”

"If you know about the East Gate, you can know who it is if you think about it." I said to the patient's family.

"Eighteen years? It was the years when the Dongmen Reservoir was built. The patient's family muttered, "Several strange things happened at the East Gate in those years. It should be Old Man Hao's house. It's definitely Old Man Hao's house! ”

The patient's family's eyes lit up, and they were a little excited because they had guessed correctly.

"Yes." I say.

"Who is Old Man Hao?" Jin Limei asked. Xu Xiaorou also looked at me.

"It's Hao Junqi's grandfather."

"And who is your sister? Doesn't Old Man Hao only have one granddaughter? The patient's family asked.

"I am the son of Zheng Rensen, who was placed at Grandpa Hao's house." I say.

"What? You are Mr. Zheng's son? Teacher Zheng is also my teacher, and your mother is also my teacher. "The patient's family is really excited at this moment.

"Did my parents teach you?" I was surprised, too.

"Taught. One teaches Chinese and the other is called mathematics. They're good to me. My name is Yu Yongjin. Maybe you mention it to your parents, and they might remember it. I was the shift leader. ”

"I'll mention it to them when I get the chance." I say.

"Mr. Zheng, is he okay? Is Mr. Yan okay? There weren't any surprises, did they? ”

"They're all fine. Accidentally? I felt that the patient's family was weird, "No surprise, isn't it?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a rough man who can't speak. I just want to know if they are in good health. If you do the math, I haven't seen them in nearly twenty years. They're retired, right? ”

"It's almost gone." I say.

"Time flies so fast." The patient's family sighed.

"It's a small world." Jin Limei sighed.

"Then please Dr. Zheng convey my invitation and invite them to come to my house to play. You tell them that our village has changed a lot now. They don't seem to have come back, have they? "It seems that the patient's family talks a lot and is enthusiastic.

"Been back. I came back when I was fifteen. That is, he came back in the third year of his return to the city. He never came back. I said.

"It's a lifetime."

"Big brother, you are not from Dongmen Village, how do you know about the Hao family?" Jin Limei asked curiously.

The patient's family touched his stubbled chin and said, "What happened to the Hao family that year, how can our brigade not know about it?" First of all, the old man Hao died for no reason, then his daughter-in-law died in life, and then his son Hao Youde and his granddaughter disappeared in the village overnight. ”

"What's the matter?" I was surprised.

"There are several versions. Some people say that the Hao family's house is a murderous house, and the feng shui is not good. Teacher Zheng is a celestial Qu star descending from the sky, and he can shake the fierce spirit, so Hao Youde's wife has been infertile and immediately became pregnant, as soon as Teacher Zheng's family left, the fierce spirit rose, and the Hao family was doomed. Let me tell you, Mr. Zheng, that is, before your father came to Dongmen, for three or four years, the daughter-in-law of the Hao family did not have children. The patient's family said to me.

"What else?" Xu Xiaorou was fascinated by what she heard.

"Another theory is that Hao Youde's wife was able to give birth to a child because she went to Jitou Mountain to worship the Bodhisattva."

"Where is Jitou Mountain?"

"It's a mountain not far from our brigade, and there is a temple on that mountain, which is very spiritual. I heard that Hao Youde's wife made a wish, saying that if he blessed him with the Hao family to keep incense, he would definitely go back to the temple to make a vow, but because they didn't make a vow, the Bodhisattva repaid them like this. ”

"Is that true?" I say.

"There's another saying," the patient's family is intrigued, "didn't it say that a reservoir was going to be built that year?" The entire east gate is to be relocated. Many families in Dongmen Village have moved to our Yongtai. ”

"Zhu Jinshan's family moved to your Yongtai." I say.

"Do you remember Zhu Jinshan?"

"Yes. He grew up with us. ”

"Some people say that the Water Dragon King took a fancy to their family and wanted to leave their family as their guides. Doesn't it say that there is a water area and a god? And Hao Youde's father and daughter fled overnight, and it was the local land god who gave them a dream, saying that if they didn't leave, it would be their father and daughter who died inexplicably. ”

"I didn't expect our Aunt Hao to have so many legends?" Xu Xiaorou's eyes widened.

"Xiaorou, it's not a legend, it's a tragedy." I said bitterly.

"But I heard again," the family member of the patient next door continued, "that the reason why Hao Youde really left the East Gate was because he had a conflict with the old village chief about the relocation, and he left overnight for some reason." ”

"What the hell is going on, Zheng Yidao?" Jin Limei said.

"It was Hao Youde who drank alcohol because of a quarrel with the old village chief, met the old village chief's son, clashed with the old village chief's son, and pushed the old village chief's son to the ground, Hao Youde thought the old village chief's son was dead, so he fled overnight, and he didn't dare to come back for 18 years. In fact, the old village chief's son only fainted temporarily. I said.

"Then why doesn't Hao Junqi's father dare to come back now?" Xu Xiaorou asked.

"Hao Youde is dead. Died in Qijiatun County, Anhui Province, buried there, and never came back. "I'm gloomy.
