Heart Doctor [2]
Su Su didn't answer, because she knew that the old man was going to start talking again, and asked her to live well with the rest of her savings after he died.
She didn't want to hear that, and she couldn't bear to interrupt him.
She never knew that things like life and death could be so close to her.
But now the grandfather under the orange candlelight, his lips are dark and his cheeks are sunken, which makes her feel so afraid, she is afraid that he will leave her, and she is so reluctant.
Watching him babble a lot, and gradually closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep, Su Su she lost sleep.
Or maybe she didn't want to sleep at all, she wanted to keep looking at her grandfather, she was scared, and all of a sudden the man would leave her.
She sat quietly until dawn, and after preparing gruel for him, she took all the copper plates she had saved over the years and found the doctor surnamed Zhang in the alley in the west of the city, who often provided free clinics.
That person is also really kind-hearted, and the average poor family who sees a doctor with him basically only pays for medicine. Su Su also heard about this early, so he dared to come to the door like this and ask the doctor to come to the temple to see the old beggar.
When they reached the ruined temple, the old beggar had woken up, and was about to take his bowl and go to the old place to sit.
Seeing this, Su Su almost immediately rushed over to help the old man sit down, "Grandpa, you can recuperate at home today, and I'll go alone today." β
After the old beggar sat down helplessly, he realized that there was still a person in the temple. The doctor was also a regular customer of the time, so he was very impressed with him.
"Doctor Zhang, why are you here?" The old beggar greeted him warmly, as if he remembered what Su Su had mentioned last night, and looked at her reproachfully, "You can quickly bring a bench for Dr. Zhang to sit on, how can there be any reason to let the distinguished guest stand." β
Su Su was reminded by this, her face was ashamed, and she realized that she had run so far with Dr. Zhang, and now, the stool was not taken to anyone, and the water was not poured, which really shouldn't be.
She finished these words quickly, looked at Dr. Zhang eagerly, and said crisply, "Doctor, can you please help my grandfather see what is wrong with him?" β
Dr. Zhang called his pulse, and after seeing the other party's bloodless face, he frowned and said, "Your disease has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and I am afraid that there is not much time left." β
Even when he heard this, the old beggar looked calm, as if he already knew his situation, and as soon as Su Su heard that there was no time, tears immediately fell.
"Doctor Zhang, do you have any medicine that can make my grandfather live a little longer?" Su Su took out all the copper plates on his body and stuffed them into the other party's arms, like a whimpering little beast, crying very miserably.
Seeing this, Dr. Zhang only shook his head, and after leaving some medicine bags that could alleviate the pain, he silently left with the medicine box on his back.
However, just as he was about to cross the threshold, he said to the gods, "If someone from the royal family is willing to give away a hundred-year-old ginseng, maybe your grandfather will live a few more years." β
Su Su raised his head suddenly when he heard this, but he only had time to see the figure of the other party walking farther and farther away, his expression was stunned, and he repeated in a low voice: "Who is the royal family?" β
When the old beggar heard this, he stroked his half-length beard and laughed, "Child, the royal family is not human, it only refers to the emperor and his imperial relatives. β
Su Su wiped her tears with her sleeve, her blue eyes were soaked in fog, and she asked curiously, "Then our city lord, is he a royal family?" β
The old beggar nodded, and then reacted to how this little kid could ask this question, and immediately lowered his face and admonished, "Hey, don't be foolish, your grandfather and I can only resign ourselves to fate." Don't think about going to the city lord, the city lord is not from the same world as us, with your small body, I'm afraid you'll die several times before you see others. You are not allowed to go, I am still waiting for you to send me to the end, don't let me send you this little boy with white hair. β
Su Su was also frightened by the old beggar's serious expression, and had to retract these thoughts.
But that night, the old beggar's health became even worse, and he coughed up blood almost as soon as he coughed, and he did not sleep well for a long time throughout the night.
Looking at the blood-stained cloth, Su Su's heart was tormented, and the thoughts that had just been extinguished during the day came to her head again.
Su Su felt that the old beggar was dead, and he didn't know how to live, so he might as well fight and give it a try? What if the city lord is also a kind-hearted person like Dr. Zhang?
At that time, Su Su seemed to know a little bit of everything, but she seemed to know nothing, and she was surprisingly bold.
She bribed a few well-informed colleagues with copper plates, and learned that the carriage of the lord of the city would pass through the city gate every noon.
Reckless, almost brave, Su Su hid herself in the corner, quietly waiting for the light of high hope.
When the magnificent, delicate carriage studded with jewels approached quickly from afar, Su Su did not hesitate to stand in the way like a sword unsheathed.
When she really watched the carriage rushing towards her without the slightest intention of stopping, Su Su's courage was also exhausted, she stood in place, trembling all over, not because she didn't want to turn around and run away immediately, but because she was so panicked and nervous that she forgot that she could try to dodge.
Su Su watched it get closer and closer to her, closer and closer, and even couldn't help but raise her hands and cover her eyes.
The people around also noticed this at this time, and unconsciously surrounded the scenery in two ways, chattering and discussing all this, but no one dared to stand up to help her.
"Phewβ"
With this gentle male voice, Su Su didn't feel any pain after being hit, she trembled and put down her hand, and the moment she raised her head, she saw the young man standing high on horseback, pulling the reins with both hands, and bright red blood flowed down her fingers.
Dressed in white and with black hair, handsome and beautiful.
Su Su had never seen such a good-looking person, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a while.
"Hey, are you a fool? Watching the carriage rush over, it was stupidly blocking in front. The young man said with a cold face.
The sudden amplified voice shook Su Su's body, and she immediately came back to her senses and wanted to ask for medicine, but she noticed that so many strange people around her were watching here, but those words seemed to be blocked in her throat and couldn't be spoken.
The boy saw that Su Su's face was flushed and he didn't say a word, and he realized that this was not a good place to talk about the reason, and he threw the reins to the squire who was driving the cart before jumping off the horse.
I saw him turn his head and say to the attendant, "You go back first, and I'll talk to this kid." β
Seeing this, the Tsing Yi attendant nodded, and left in the carriage.
One of the young man's hands consciously took Su Su's hand and walked towards the outskirts of the city, and because the young man's aura was so strong, those passers-by who ate melons gradually dispersed.
Su Su saw that the other party's hand was still bleeding, and tried to struggle a few times, but she didn't expect it to be exchanged for a tighter restraint.
Obviously, she was holding like this, and she inadvertently touched the warm skin of the other party's palm, and she would also hear the other party's shallow gasp, but he was still unwilling to let go.
Su Su felt that although the other party was good-looking, he was a strange person.
