Chapter Thirty-Eight: Understanding
Li Bokang got up early the next morning to cook, and after the meal was ready, he boiled the medicine again. When he was ready, he was ready to wake her up for breakfast, but he was about to call her when he saw that she had woken up. After fetching water for her to wash up, he ate, and after eating, he went down the mountain after cleaning up, and before leaving, he said that he told her that the medicine was placed on the table next to the bed, and that she would drink it when she was cold.
When Li Bokang came to the town, he began to inquire about their mountain, and when he asked at first, no one was willing to tell him, but then he thought of a solution, which was to spend money to find a tea shop. He thought that there were many people in the tea shop, so it was easy to inquire about the news, and the little two inside received so many guests, so he must know a lot about the things coming and going. Sure enough, there is a lot of news in the tea shop, both true and false.
When he arrived at the tea shop, he first found a table with a lot of people around him and sat down, and there were two people at the table he was looking for. When the two saw him sit down, they didn't say anything, just glanced at him and continued to talk, he didn't care, and called Xiao Er to order a pot of the cheapest tea. Then he didn't start inquiring right away, but drank tea while listening to the conversation of the people next to him, and then occasionally interjected.
After a while, he felt that the time was almost up, so he said to the two people at the same table: "The two uncles don't know if you know the mountain two or three miles outside the town, I don't think anyone has walked there?" Because the two people at the table with him were older, he called them uncle. When they heard him, they asked, "Boy, which mountain are you talking about?" There are a lot of mountains in our White Tiger Town, and there are many mountains that no one walks. "It's the one two or three miles outside the town, and the mountain next to it heard that there are wolves, but the one next to it doesn't seem to have heard much about wolves." Li Bokang didn't know what to say about the mountain, so he said. "Which one are you talking about, there are many such mountains." Uncle A said with a smile. Another uncle, B, seemed to think of something and said, "Are you talking about the mountain outside the town where there is a big road but no one walks on it?" "Yes, yes, that's it." Li Bokang hurriedly said.
Seeing him nodding in approval, Uncle A also glanced at Uncle B as if he remembered something, and then the two were silent and did not speak. Later, Uncle B asked him, "Boy, are you a foreigner?" "Yes, I only came here this summer, and I'm here to visit relatives. I'm a person who likes to play around, and I've been to a lot of places here, but my relatives have repeatedly told me that they won't let me go to that mountain. You also know that people are always curious, but they always don't tell me, and the more they don't tell me, the more curious I become, so I come out and ask. He thought of a reason and said.
The two uncles didn't think it was strange when they heard it, they also grew up from such a big age, and they knew that what he said was true. But they still said, "Boy, your relatives are doing it for you, don't you run away without knowing what to do." "But if you don't tell me why, I'm just curious." Li Bokang continued. The two uncles also thought it was funny, and then Uncle A said, "Since you are so curious, I will tell you, lest you run around and have an accident again." "Hey, thank you Uncle then." Then Uncle A began to talk about the mountain.
"And it came to pass that there were many people who went to that mountain, and there were many wild animals in it, and many hunters were willing to go there to hunt. Isn't there a wide road at the foot of the mountain, and there used to be two villages behind the mountain, and that road was opened by them. But who knew that decades ago, the people of those two villages suddenly fell ill with the plague and all died, and there was not a single one left, and even the animals on that mountain died all of a sudden, not even a single bird left. And strangely enough, the plague was only contracted by the people of those two villages, and they all died very quickly. At that time, this matter was too weird, so except for the people who knew it at the time, the government blocked the news and did not spread it. So, boy, don't go to that mountain, be careful of losing your life. ”
After listening to it, Li Bokang also felt a little weird, but he didn't feel too scared in his heart, after all, he had also lived on that mountain for half a year, and didn't he have nothing to do, and Sister Xue didn't live for so long, and it was okay? But he still pretended to be scared and said, "Really? It's so weird, then I still won't go in the future. "Of course it's true, why am I lying to you." The uncle said a little unhappily. "It's the boy's fault, don't be angry." After speaking, I looked at the time and felt that I had been sitting for a long time, so I said again: "It's not early, the kid will go first, and the two uncles will use it slowly." Then I took a sip of tea and went to check out, and when I checked out, I asked Xiao Er again, and the result was no different from what the uncle said before and left.
There were quite a few people in the Spring Grass Hall again, and Dr. Shi was also very busy, so he waited on the side for a while. Later, I saw that there was no one, and after Dr. Shi explained to Dr. Shi, the rest of the patients came to talk to him, otherwise he would have to wait for a long time. Seeing him coming, I thought he was something, after all, they only went back yesterday and came again today.
After asking him, Dr. Shi was relieved to know that there was nothing to do, but he still asked, "Bokang, are you here today for something?" "That's Dr. Shi, I want to ask my sister what kind of recovery is good for that kind of situation?" And if there is any taboo, I forgot to ask yesterday, so I came to ask again today. Li Bokang said first. There's nothing particularly good to eat, but you can drink more soup with pork bones. There is also a possibility of stewing some chicken soup with some red dates and the like for her to drink, she has indeed lost too much blood this time. Doctor Shi thought about it and told him.
"There's one more thing I want to ask Dr. Shi about, I don't know if it's okay." After brewing for a while, Li Bokang said again. "You say." "It's about the mountain outside the town where all the animals died for a while, I want to ask Dr. Shi if you know what's going on?" Hearing him ask about this, Dr. Shi suddenly looked up at him and saw that he was nothing special, so he asked him, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" "It's nothing, it's just that when I came to the town today, I heard someone say that I was a little curious, so I asked you by the way." "Well, it's nothing, it's just the plague. How do you want to go to that mountain? "Well, it's just a little curious." "Actually, it's nothing, and it's been so long now, and it shouldn't be anything, but I still don't recommend you to go there, there is no absolute in everything." "I see, thank you, Dr. Shi. Then I'll go back first. "yes, okay."
When he came out of the Spring Grass Hall, he went straight back, and after he went back, it was still a little early in the day before it was time to cook, so he told Yang Xue what he heard today. After listening to the reason, she could also understand why Aunt Ma was abnormal yesterday, but she still said, "Bokang, are you afraid?" "I'm not afraid, I've lived for so long and it's fine, which means that the matter has passed, but I still feel a little strange." "It's okay not to be afraid, I'm not afraid, I've lived longer than you. But we still have to be careful in the future, the aunt from yesterday shouldn't say it. But now it seems that the wild boar at home can only stay at home and eat it by itself, which can only trouble you, and I can't help you like this. "I'm a little frustrated." It's okay, I can clean them up by myself, don't worry, but there is definitely not enough salt at home, I'll buy some in two days. Li Bokang opened the topic and said.
