Chapter 114: Shanghai Market
Have you ever thought that there is such a person, not for fame, not for profit, not for longevity, not for illness, just looking at you from afar without receiving a penny, crying because of your sadness, laughing because of your joy, and frowning because of your sorrow?
Seeing off the last patient, she extinguished the candle and looked at the half-hidden door in the moonlight, not knowing what she was thinking, and an ugly smile appeared on her ugly face. The muddy eyes of the pen & fun & www.biquge.info pavilion seemed to flash with crystals, turning into teardrops across the ugly face, and the smile looked weird and bitter.
She remained in this state, sat there, and after a long time, she got up and put away the medicine box and closed the wooden door.
She had just laid down on the bed, which consisted of only a few planks and a tattered quilt, when someone knocked on the broken wooden door.
"Today is over, let's come back tomorrow!" Her hoarse voice came from the bed, without the slightest emotion, revealing the vicissitudes and depth.
The knock on the door did not stop because of her words, but knocked more quickly, and she didn't pay attention to the knocking outside, and went straight to sleep.
The next morning she got up and opened the door, and it was already full of people, and she left the door open, and the people who were lined up outside walked in one by one, and they understood that her gesture was a sign that she was going to start receiving treatment.
One by one, they came in and out, some with sad faces, some with smiles, but none of them told her that he had been here last night. I guess I told her that she would twist the gold needle like this expressionlessly!
Finally, at dusk, a man in a cloak walked in, holding out his black-clad arm for her pulse.
She didn't move, her eyes staring at his arm and drifting away. The man didn't rush her, and sat quietly across from her, his eyes under the cloak staring at her ugly face all the time.
I stayed like this for a long time, until the patient outside pushed open the half-hidden door and came in to ask for help. The man stood up, sighed and turned to leave, her gaze still unchanged, looking at the place where he had put his arm, distracted, without words.
At the end of the day, she sorted out the golden needles and got up to close the door. Suddenly, a pair of hands held on the side of the door, stopping her hand to close the door, and stopped her accustomed movements.
It was the man in the daytime, the man was still wearing a cloak to cover his face, and his black clothes were a little mysterious and deep. Her eyes under the cloak met hers, and she looked away, letting go of the hand that wanted to close the door, and walked gently back into the room.
The man followed, surveying the shabby wooden house.
After a long silence, the man finally spoke, "You live here?" The man looked at her, his cloak glinting, wondering what he was thinking, whether it was guilt, remorse, or sympathy.
She didn't answer, and continued to do her thing, she was preparing the things she needed to open the clinic tomorrow, such as cleaning the golden needles first, and carefully checking a few pills that could cure all kinds of poisons.
It was silence, silence for a long time, so long that she had already picked up the futon and was ready to sleep.
"Something happened to Ah Liang...... the man's voice rose again, her body, which had been silent and calm, trembled, and she got up and looked at the man in a daze, and her ugly face couldn't tell what her expression was.
"Didn't you promise to take good care of him? Didn't you already say yes? She grabbed him by the shoulders and questioned him in a hoarse voice. She didn't understand why he had promised her to protect Ah Liang at the beginning, why Ah Liang had an accident now. If she still endures to continue to live in this world under such circumstances, the only spiritual sustenance and hope for life is all for Ah Liang.
Ah Liang is her younger brother, her only relative now. It is also the only hope for the continuation of her family. At the beginning, she thought that she was unable to take care of and protect Ah Liang, so she would rather do the thing she was least willing to do to beg him to entrust Ah Liang to him, but who would have thought, but now even Ah Liang has an accident, what should she do.
"I'm sorry I didn't protect him. He may have been captured by them, and I'll save him, but I just want to tell you about it so you can be prepared. ”
"You have to do what you promise, I tell you, if Ah Liang really has something, don't think about living." She said coldly, her hoarse voice with a cold killing intent, enveloping the wooden house.
The man left, he promised to protect Ah Liang, even if he took his own life, this is what he owes her, although she said that he doesn't owe her anything, but in his heart he owes her everything, and it always has been.
She closed the wooden door tightly, wrapped herself tightly in the thin, shabby quilt, and muttered something indistinctly. Maybe I'm praying for the peace of Ah Liang!
It is estimated that he is the only person who can know her identity now, and even in the entire Qi County, it is estimated that there is no one who knows the origin of her identity.
Since the day she came to Qi County two years ago, no one knew her, and she didn't know anyone, but at that time, the epidemic in the county was her wonderful hand to rejuvenate and save the entire county, although the people in the county were very grateful for her life-saving grace, but no one could get closer to her.
At that time, people respected her for her excellent medical skills and called her a miracle doctor, but she was rejected by herself.
At that time, people surrounded her and shouted about the miracle doctor, but she told them in a hoarse and ugly voice how she could accompany her with such a non-human and ghostly appearance. Later, everyone called her the ghost doctor.
She has never charged a triage fee from the county residents, but the people of Qi County are still very conscious, at least her three meals a day will be sent to her by the villagers, but her rules for seeing a doctor are only to see a doctor, if it is a disease that can be cured by acupuncture alone, and she only writes down the pharmacy for those diseases that require medicine or something. She didn't have any medicine there, although there were some antidote pills, which were only prepared by other pharmacies that she didn't have, and the rest were just commonly used things.
It's just that this doesn't affect others' respect for her medical skills, after all, she was the one who saved the lives of the people in the county. What's more, everyone knew that she had almost nothing when she came to Qi County, except for those few medical items, there was only a tattered quilt and a few clothes.
This **** heart is very messy, the last time she was so sad was more than two years ago, but she was already disheartened, and now even her last hope of life has been told that it has been hurt, that is her only relative, except for Ah Liang and this life, she really has nothing, nothing left. Even this life is still for Ah Liang, and he can only say that he really has nothing.
She lay on the hard wooden bed, looked at the few stars leaking out of the cracks in the roof of the shed, and sighed long, Ah Liang, how are you?
Now that he has this virtue, let alone saving Ah Liang, he is afraid that he will be caught and tortured if he goes to the capital, who will always make the heavens angry and resentful if he is reduced to such a situation now?
Now she can only put her hope on him, and if she calculates carefully, even if so many things happened at the beginning, she still believes in him, at least from the fact that she entrusted Ah Liang to him. It's just that she has never been able to find a reason to forgive him or accept him, let alone an excuse that can last forever, or some suspicions have been born or appeared, even if they are finally unraveled, they still delay those so-called loves, and finally go against all parties in the world. She can beg him for Ah Liang, but she can't do anything with him, even if she doesn't want anything, isn't this ugly appearance disgusting him and making him sick to his stomach!
She thought, starting from the very beginning of her acquaintance, some sweet, some bitter and some unforgettable, but everything can't go back and can't be recovered, but she can't forget the ten years of experience anyway.
Ten years, it's really hard to think about it, losing everything, going through everything, but some things will always be like that. (To be continued.) )
