Chapter 2: The White-Eyed Wolf
On a cold day, the old woman didn't even have any decent clothes on her body, she was still wearing a coarse cloth jacket with several patches, and she couldn't see her original color when she washed it, and her back was still stiff, so thin that she didn't look good, and her sunken cheeks were also purple from the cold, which was really pitiful.
The child thought of her granddaughter, the little sister who was pink and tender and delicate, and couldn't help but feel sympathy, and also helped on the side, and asked her father to take another look.
Dr. Li was very embarrassed, when he was still in the bed in the morning, he was pulled over by the old woman to see her little granddaughter, a six-year-old little girl, skinny and skinny, living in such a broken thatched hut with wind on all sides, it is no wonder that the wind is cold.
No, it's only been two nights, and the little girl is going to die, and when he goes to see it in the morning, he is already out of breath.
How could Dr. Li tell his youngest son about this kind of thing, his youngest son still thought that the little girl was just suffering from a cold, but how did he know that the girl doll was actually dying.
But Dr. Li was soft-hearted, and he couldn't stand the bitter pleading of his youngest son and the old woman, so he finally followed the old woman with the medicine box on his back.
Along the way, Dr. Li was thinking about how to persuade the old woman to let her accept the reality and bury the female doll.
But when he and the old woman went to the thatched hut to see, the little girl had a pulse, although it was weak, but it was really alive!
Dr. Li was very puzzled, could he have made a mistake in the morning?!
He will be suspicious of himself for the first time, but also because his medical skills are not perfect, only half-baked level, plus he once delayed a person's condition due to misdiagnosis, almost caused a catastrophe, and finally although he was not imprisoned, he almost bankrupted his family, exhausted the favor accumulated by his father, not to mention, and even his ancestral home could not stay, otherwise he would not drag his family to settle in this poor and remote village, in order to avoid the revenge of the family.
"How's it going, Dr. Li? What is my granddaughter's disease? Do you see her body is much warmer? And the one who saved, isn't it? The old woman asked with a look of hope.
It is a matter of human life, and Dr. Li does not dare to be vague at this time no matter how many questions he has.
He suppressed the confusion in his heart, and looked a little ashamed, Xu felt that he had misdiagnosed again, which made the old woman worry in vain, and he had the heart to make up for it.
"It's okay to look at it now," he took out a few pills for the cold from the medicine box, and said apologetically: "It's also that I'm not good at learning, I'm really sorry." Take this medicine first, boil it and give it to your child, three times a day. Looking at her condition, she will be able to wake up in the evening, don't be too anxious, I will come back tomorrow for a follow-up visit. ”
The old woman took the medicine and was so grateful that she didn't know what to do.
She is a reasonable person, in the morning her granddaughter did not even snort, her heart did not beat, her body was cold, even she thought that her granddaughter was not good, how could she blame Dr. Li.
Not only did she not have a trace of resentment, but also sent Dr. Li out of the door with a thousand thanks, and then hurriedly lit a fire to boil the medicine.
Dr. Li carried the medicine box on his back, and as soon as he returned to the village, he met his youngest son's only eye-catching friend, Shen Baoshan.
Shen Baoshan is ten years old this year, half the size of a child with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a pair of eyes are extraordinarily bright.
As soon as he saw Dr. Li, he chased after him and asked, "Uncle Li, how is Baohua's illness?" ”
Shen is the surname of Guyu Village, Shen Baoshan's family lives in the head of Guyu Village, there are three brothers and one sister above, and there is an eight-year-old silly brother Shen Baoshu and a seven-year-old sister below.
Dr. Li thought of the rumors in the village, and felt very ashamed of the actions of Shen Baoshan's family, but he was just a doctor who had just settled in Guyu Village, and his foundation in Guyu Village was very shallow, and he didn't dare to take the liberty of helping the poor grandparents and grandchildren and pulling hatred for himself.
Just like now, he can only slander in his heart, but he still has a smile on his face: "I've come back to life, but that place can't live at all, and it's very cold this winter, if she stays for two more days, she will definitely have something." ”
When Shen Baoshan heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, he hurriedly said goodbye to Dr. Li, and hurried to the foot of the mountain step by step along the footprints on the road.
He had just reached the halfway point when a gust of wind blew over, and before he could take a firm step, he was carried down in the snow by the wind, and the dogskin hat was almost blown away by the wind.
The snow slag fell down the collar, and he shivered with the cold, and he was dressed thick and round, and he didn't get up for a long time.
Mother Wang's scolding came from far and near.
Shen Baoshan subconsciously wanted to hide, but it was clear at a glance in this white snow, where could he hide?
He was soon grabbed by the Wang family who was chasing after him, and he was scolded, and the broken silver that he had been holding in his hand was also snatched away by the fourth sister Shen Baozhu.
His four sisters are fourteen this year, with a big figure and a big cake face, which is very recognizable.
Shen Baozhu looked at the broken silver in her hand, her eyes were red with anger, if it weren't for her mother Wang's presence, she would have wanted to strangle him directly.
"Wow, Shen Baoshan, you're going to eat inside and out?! What is the situation at home, are you blind or deaf and can't see? The third brother's marriage has not been settled until now, and you still steal the family's money to make up for that little slut! Do you want to nod your face? Is there still a little conscience? In vain, you are still a person who reads the books of sages, I see that you have read all these books into the belly of a dog! ”
Shen Baozhu's face was furious, and he sprayed Shen Baoshan in the face.
She was only fourteen years old, and in order to give her third brother a dowry, the family married the daughter of the butcher's family in the next village, and even ignored her fierce resistance, and forced her to the Sun family's lazy Sun Mazi.
That's the laziest and most unproductive ugly monster in the village!
Why is her life so bitter, not to mention a patriarchal father and mother, and a mean grandmother, a white-eyed wolf fifth brother who is full of eyes and just wants to hold the good things in the family and please the little mute.
Wang was also so angry that he twisted Shen Baoshan on the back of his neck.
Shen Baoshan screamed in pain, and wanted to grab the silver in the fourth sister's hand, but was slapped on the head by the Wang family, pulling his ears and scolding him for turning his elbow out.
He knew that he would definitely not be able to grab the money today, so he ran to the village, not wanting his mother and fourth sister to trouble Baohua again, he turned around and shouted as he ran: "Baohua is about to freeze to death, you force her away, and if you don't let me help her, she will really die!" "One didn't pay attention, his foot sank into the snow pit, and he fell into the mud again, and ate a mouthful of snow, Shen Baoshan was so angry.
"Does she have a fart relationship with you? I can't eat at home, I finally saved some money to marry your third brother, and you dare to steal the silver, you little rabbit cub, you don't study well at a young age, sooner or later you will be a white-eyed wolf who has a daughter-in-law and forgets her mother......"
Wang and Shen Baozhu's mother and daughter chased him and beat him again, scolding all the way home, causing several women in the village to run out of the house to watch the excitement, and talk about their family gossip one after another.
The small episodes that happened in the village are not heard at the foot of the mountain, and Guyu Village is not big or small, there are also forty or fifty families, and it is quite a distance from the thatched houses at the foot of the mountain.
The old woman poured the boiled medicine into a coarse porcelain bowl with a big mouth, helped the little girl to get up and fed her the medicine, and saw that her eyes were still closed, but she swallowed all the black medicine, and the old woman wiped her muddy tears with relief, hugged the little girl, and used her thin body to block the cold wind for her.
The little girl in her arms shivered with cold.
The old woman didn't know that the real little girl had indeed died as Dr. Li said, and the current core had been replaced by someone else.
This person is Lu Yang.
