Hearing this, the old man stopped, turned his head and glanced at Wu Zhiyuan up and down, and asked strangely, "Who are you from her family?" ”

"Oh, I went to her house to rest because a friend was sick and happened to be passing by." Wu Zhiyuan had an idea, maybe the old man didn't know Wu Maoshan's existence, so he hid his identity.

The old man looked around vigilantly, and when he saw that there was no one, he whispered, "There is no help." ”

"Hopeless?" Wu Zhiyuan was stunned, thinking to himself that all doctors can't see the cause, where does your "hopeless" statement come from?

The old man nodded, as if he was deep in thought, but then shook his head again, and said slowly: "It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that you are not saved, but there is a way." ”

"What's the solution?" Wu Zhiyuan was even more curious, and said in his heart, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this barefoot doctor?

The old man looked around a few times again, pulled Wu Zhiyuan into the corner, and said in a low voice: "The most effective way is to drown her child, who is just over three months old!" When the old man said this, his face showed a look of unbearability, and he shook his head helplessly.

"What?" Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback when he heard this, although he had heard rumors from the middle-aged woman that the child was the father's life, but the old man's proposal was really beyond his expectations.

Wu Zhiyuan thought to himself, could it be that the root of this father's life is you? Thinking of this, she hurriedly hid her surprise and pretended to be casual and asked, "What does her husband's illness have to do with her children?" ”

"That's a long story." The old man sighed, "Since her child was born, her man has been bedridden, searched all the doctors in this ten miles and eight villages, tried all the home remedies, all to no avail, and then a fortune teller came to the village, and the fortune teller showed her man, and then he said the key to this." ”

"What's the key?" Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked.

The fortune teller said that the problem was with the child in her family, this child was the reincarnation of Huang Poniang, numerology and father, as long as the child lived, her husband would be killed by him sooner or later. So if she wants her husband to live, she can only eradicate the grass and drown the child. The old man said helplessly, "Everyone in the village knows about this matter, but she is impatient and loves her son by nature, and she drove away the fortune teller without saying anything, and threatened that whoever dares to mention this matter again will deal with him to the end!" ”

Wu Zhiyuan listened to the old man's words, and he already had a general understanding of the beginning and end of the matter in his heart. Huang Po Niang is the local common name for cockroaches, legend Huang Po Niang will eat her father after birth, the fortune teller said that the child is the reincarnation of Huang Po Niang, probably a metaphor for this meaning. The middle-aged woman looked like a cheerful person, so it was very likely that she could react like this after hearing the fortune teller's words, but fortunately she didn't believe the fortune teller's nonsense, otherwise she would really harm her child without knowing it.

"If Wu Maoshan hadn't saved her child at the beginning, maybe her husband wouldn't have ended up in this field." The old man shook his head as he walked forward.

Wu Zhiyuan listened to the old man's words, and actually felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.

After retrieving the medicine, Hua Gu fried Ju'er, and Wu Zhiyuan fed Ju'er medicine with his own hands. Ju'er has been in a coma, but she still has the consciousness to swallow, and she fell into a deep sleep after being fed the medicine. Laidi and the hostess were busy with lunch.

Seeing Laidi walking out with less than half a small pot of rice, Manniu said with a dissatisfied face: "Just this bit of rice is not enough for me to stuff my teeth alone!" ”

The middle-aged woman heard the words of the wild cow in the house, and said with a sad face: "I'm really sorry, there is only this bit of rice left at home. ”

The conversation between the two was heard by Wu Zhiyuan, he understood in his heart the situation of the middle-aged woman's family, she sought medical treatment for her husband everywhere, she had spent all her savings, thinking that there were some dry food and the ocean on the carriage, Wu Zhiyuan walked out of the courtyard gate directly, and walked towards the place where the carriage was parked.

The middle-aged woman's house happened to be at the front of the village, and the three carriages stopped on the road in front of the village at this time, and the road passed horizontally from the front of the village, and its east side led directly to the official road.

Wu Zhiyuan took out half of the dry food in the carriage, took out ten oceans from the wooden box, hugged them in his arms, turned around and walked back, just walked a few steps, there was a neighing sound of horses behind him, Wu Zhiyuan looked back, the three horses seemed to be suddenly frightened, all four hooves moved, looking a little restless, Wu Zhiyuan walked back to check, and did not find anything abnormal, it was expected that the three horses had not eaten forage for a long time, caused by hunger, so they did not care.

When he returned to the courtyard, Wu Zhiyuan found that a round table had been placed in the center of the courtyard, and Sun Haozi and Yu Yisu had already sat peacefully at the round table, waiting for the meal to start.

Wu Zhiyuan put the dry food and the ocean on the table, the ocean was all wrapped in red paper, one of the ocean red paper broke, and all the ocean inside was scattered, the middle-aged woman looked at Wu Zhiyuan in surprise when she saw this: "Big brother, what are you doing here?" ”

"Eldest sister, I have caused you trouble today, you can keep these oceans for the treatment of the eldest brother, and the rest can be used to supplement the family." Wu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, this money is a gift from a friend, and it definitely comes from the right way, and you can use it boldly." ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." The middle-aged woman waved her hand again and again, and her eyes instantly moistened, "You are our child's great benefactor, and I ...... How can I ask for your money? ”

"Hehe, I said this eldest sister, our Maoshan faction has always been committed to doing good deeds and helping others, and you also know my nephew, he is that kind of ...... Ah, how do you say it, save the suffering, save the suffering......" Yu Yisu patted Wu Zhiyuan's ass at the right time, and was interrupted by Wu Zhiyuan's words.

"Uncle Shi!" Wu Zhiyuan glanced at Yu Yisu angrily, his mind Wu Zhiyuan naturally understood, it was nothing more than to ask Wu Zhiyuan to say a few good words for him when he saw his master and exonerate him.

Yu Yisu stuck out his tongue at Wu Zhiyuan when he heard this, and stopped talking.

At this time, the brute bull answered in a rough voice: "Give it to you, you will take it, don't mother-in-law." ”

The middle-aged woman agreed to accept it, but her eyes were red with emotion, and she was about to salute Wu Zhiyuan as soon as she bowed. Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly supported her and helped her put away the ocean on the table, and the middle-aged woman thanked her again and again and returned to the house with the ocean.

After the tea, the meals are all ready, it is winter at this time, there is only one stir-fried cabbage, the vegetable green soup is white, it looks very light, the rice can just be divided into one person and one bowl, Rao is so, everyone eats very sweet, after all, they have not eaten a hot meal for a long time.

Manniu is really a person with a huge amount of rice, a few bites of the vegetable soup into the stomach, he put down the empty bowl, reached out and grabbed a baked cake, just about to pick up the vegetables, but found that half a pot of cabbage has been robbed, and the last bite of vegetable soup was poured into his bowl by Yu Yisu.

The wild bull glared at Yu Yisu angrily, snorted coldly, reached out and grabbed another baked cake, muttered a few words in his mouth, got up and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Even if there is no vegetable and no soup, the steaming rice is better than the cold and hard baked cakes, and everyone is savoring the sweetness of the rice, when suddenly they hear a sound of horses chirping outside, and then the sound of horses' hooves starts, and the wild bull rushes in from the outside, and as soon as they enter the door, they shout: "Oh no! The horses are all gone! ”
