Chapter 19: Wang ...... king
"The seed raised by the Yuan family is really"
I'll go with this, could it be that Old Man Cao knows my origin and the Yuan family? I suddenly looked at Old Man Cao with wide eyes, and was about to open my mouth to ask a question, when I suddenly felt a piercing pain from the broken place of my left hand.
"Ugh!" I screamed, and my body subconsciously wanted to stand up. And Mr. Cao just pressed my left wrist with one hand, so that I couldn't do all my movements.
The pain was a bit like the one I had been bitten by the "virgin incense", it was extremely intense, and I didn't seem to have any patience for it, and the pain soon spread all over my body from the severity. After a while, this pain gradually disappeared, and I turned my head sweating profusely, and then I saw clearly that the place where the little finger of my left hand was broken, and Mr. Cao pierced a needle that he had just burned. It wasn't a silver needle, it looked a bit like a needle for sewing a futon.
As soon as the needle was pricked, the area where the flesh had just grown from the broken finger began to bleed. And to my surprise, as the red blood flowed out, the blue venom on my left hand began to burrow into the wound.
I was startled, "Old man, this way I won't be poisoned, right?" ”
"Why do you ask so much? Don't you see I'm busy? As he spoke, Old Man Cao brought up a box from under the table. This thing I know is a portable refrigerator that the fat man uses to keep my fingers.
The old man opened the lid, and a white chill came out. The ice cubes inside the box are not ordinary water, so they are not easy to dissolve. The ability to withstand high temperatures is also very good. So, as soon as the lid was opened, the temperature in the house soon became colder.
The crisper bag for my fingers was placed underneath the ice. The old man took it out, opened it, and took out my little thumb.
When I look at it this way, I don't even recognize it as my own finger. Now, it's all dead gray, like a cocoon, and it seems to be a little swollen. Tut. I don't know if the fat man made a mistake when he picked it up. I remember that there were a lot of big girls dead in the square of the Forbidden City, and I don't know who it was.
Mr. Cao carefully picked up my finger, and he scrubbed it with alcohol first. Then he smeared some of the potions that the second uncle of the Cao family had prepared on the fracture.
"Don't move now, or even if you do, your fingers will be different from before." Old Man Cao reminded.
"Uh, me. I know it."
"Don't talk." Old Man Cao glanced at me dissatisfied. I had to keep my mouth shut. Quietly watch his next move.
Old Man Cao first pulled out the needle inserted in my little thumb, and I didn't feel it at all, as if the place was numb, but I felt that the venom was moving back and forth in it.
Then, Mr. Cao slowly pressed my little thumb against the severed one. I thought to myself, should this be the end, and those poisons will automatically connect the broken nerves in my hands?
But after Old Man Cao pressed his finger up, he didn't move it again. His hands are steady. I grabbed my fingers and stood still for more than ten minutes, and I saw a tremble. What made me even more unexpected was that he was silent for more than an hour. looked at Old Man Cao's face as calm as water. I even wonder if this old man is already like that. Old man, a lot of them are like that
But suddenly, Old Man Cao's hand was released. My heart tightened, but I realized that my little finger had not fallen from the broken point. "Hey!" I was surprised, "Pick it up, pick it up?" ”
These days, although I don't think much about my left hand, I do occasionally wish that my left hand was intact. When I cut off five fingers, it seemed like it was just a spur of the moment, but I didn't really have a choice. If I hadn't done something at the time, I'm afraid that I would have committed suicide by now. Peanut and Erzi both knew that I was actually very fragile and couldn't accept those things. The truth is, there are some things that you have to find a way to accept even if you can't accept them.
At this moment, when I saw a finger back again, I actually had mixed feelings in my heart. Lost and regained is definitely not simply recovered.
Old Man Cao waved his hand at me, "Don't get excited, it's not over yet." As he spoke, the old man took out something that looked like a fish hook, and wore a thread on the back. The hook is so thin that if you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it at all. It's even thinner than the line at the back.
I held back the beating of my heart and continued to watch the old man's movements. Next, Mr. Cao sewed up my severed finger and hand as if he were stitching up a wound. His level of finesse is definitely no less than that of ordinary surgery, and the stitches are thin and neat. When I was done, I felt like I had a ring on the little finger of my left hand, and if I didn't look closely, I wouldn't know that it was a suture.
Old Man Cao nodded, and then began to do the same with my remaining four fingers. Except for the pain that I couldn't control, the whole process was very peaceful. By the time the five fingers were back on my left hand, it was already 10 o'clock in the night.
I looked at my hands and didn't say anything for a long time. I didn't feel anything on my fingers yet, but I could already feel my blood pouring up on my fingers. The most obvious reaction was that the color of the five fingers began to change.
Just when I was in a daze, Old Man Cao took out another wooden box and put my left hand into it. "As I said before, for the time being, this hand can't move, and it can't get wet." The old man said.
The wooden box was almost the same thickness as my arm, and after Mr. Cao locked a few buckles, the wooden box completely wrapped my left hand and left arm.
Watching the old man light a dry tobacco, I said in a deep voice, "Thank you, old man." ”
Old Man Cao smiled, "Since you have a relationship with Ah Jin, we will naturally try our best to help you, but don't treat this place as a hospital, don't think that you have a next time." If you drop any more parts. There's nothing I can do. ”
I smiled, "Don't worry, old man, I'll definitely remember it." ”
"Alright. Let's go to Ah Jin's house for dinner, those people must be in a hurry. ”
I nodded, and was about to get up to thank you again, when I suddenly remembered the old man's words again. So I asked, "Old Man Cao, you know my father, right?" ”
Old Man Cao smiled, "What do you think?" ”
Sounds good. The old man seems to be playing Tai Chi with me, but since he can say something like that in front of me, I think the old man Cao is probably hinting at something to me. It's not hard to think about either. First of all, the fat man in Caojia Village is doing that alone, and he is the only one who can have contact with Daddy, so it stands to reason that Old Man Cao will not know Daddy and know the Yuan family. On the bright side, this is the case. But think about what Zhuge Xuan said during the day. Not necessarily. I thought, maybe Old Man Cao is the person in Caojia Village who knows about that matter.
The tone in which he said that sentence obviously had a feeling of displeasure with the Yuan family, which was also in line with the reaction of the Cao family after suffering those treatments.
"I'm a person with a bad brain, and what I feel is generally incorrect, and I hope that Old Man Cao can make the younger generation understand better." The contact has not been long, but I feel that I have touched some of the characters of Old Man Cao. If I talk the way I normally do, he might think I'm out of tune. If I groom my words, the old man might still be interested.
"Understood?" The old man laughed. "If you understand, I don't have to tell you this." He stood up and slowly began to pace around the room, "You are Yuan Long's son, although he is not as shrewd, but I believe that you are not stupid, you must be very strange, for what do I know your Yuan family, and I also know Yuan Long, you may think, I used to be a tomb robber, hum, whatever you guess, it doesn't matter, the point is, I want to entrust you with one thing, and I hope you don't shirk it, just take it as a little operation fee charged by my old man." ”
"If the old man wants me to do something, please tell me directly." I nodded.
"I want you to bring a message to your father." The old man said, "'Our Cao family doesn't want to suffer that sin anymore.'" ”
I was stunned for a moment, "That's it?" ”
"Well, that's all." Old Man Cao looked at me and smiled slightly.
I can't be wrong in my heart, Old Man Cao must be as Zhuge Xuan said, he knows those things. What does he mean by that? Do you want to tell a family like Daddy what the Cao family is going to do?
"Hi" I sighed.
"What? You can't even bring it with you if it's so simple? Old Man Cao frowned slightly.
I shook my head, "It's not like that, Old Man Cao, of course I can't shirk this kind of thing, but the problem is, I can't find my father now." ”
"What?" Old Man Cao looked at me with some surprise.
"Here's the thing" Of course, I couldn't tell Mr. Cao about those things, but I just made up some words, and finally said that Daddy seemed to be crazy and escaped from the hospital. This is basically in line with our current situation, and it can't be wrong if we can't bring the words over anyway.
After listening to this, Old Man Cao pondered for a long time. "It doesn't matter, anyway, when you have the chance to meet your father, you can just tell him. Okay, let's not talk about more, you, let's go. ”
I know that if you ask someone like Old Man Cao, he will definitely be disgusted, so I didn't say anything more. After thanking me repeatedly, I went back to the fat man's house.
At this time, the dishes on the table were cold, and the fat man, peanut, Qin Feng and Zhuge Xuan were still waiting for me. Seeing a wooden box hanging from my left hand, all four of them gathered around.
"How's it going?" Zhuge Xuan was the first to ask, and the other three people also looked at me.
"The finger has been picked up, and whether it can be recovered or not will take a few days to find out." I said with a smile.
"Then it's going to be fine." The fat man said, "Come, it's just time for the big guys to celebrate and drink." ”
"you." Zhuge Xuan turned his head and said, "Don't you know that patients can't drink alcohol?" ”
"Yes, dead fat man, you want to drink my old Qin to accompany you, don't come to harm my master." Qin Feng also looked at the fat man dissatisfied.
"Okay, okay, there are a lot of you, the special mother's good wine and good meat, less people to eat, fat man, I still have more oral mouth."
Peanut walked up to me and said, "Drink a little." With that, Peanut grinned at me.
I smiled and nodded. "Old Man Cao didn't say that he couldn't drink, and I was happy to be able to take my hand. How to celebrate without drinking. Then I looked at Zhuge Xuan again, "Don't worry, with you looking at me, I definitely won't be drunk." ”
That's what I said, but my friends who often drink alcohol also know it, and the words before holding the wine glass are the same as if they didn't say anything, a few glasses of wine. A few of us men immediately let go. Zhuge Xuan is not the kind of mother-in-law, and he didn't really stop me, so the big guy drank a few bottles of liquor he brought.
The fat man's house doesn't have that many beds. After his old lady finished packing up her things again, she threw a few futons directly on the kang and did not arrange for us again.
We said in our hearts that if we sleep in the living room, we will sleep in the living room, anyway, it is not the cold winter wax moon now. But it's a little difficult for Zhuge Xuan. So a few of us gave the kang to her alone. Then the fat man piled the quilt on the ground. We'll just lay the floor.
In the middle of the night, I opened my eyes again, and subconsciously, I immediately raised my left hand, for fear that I would see the gloves again.
The good thing is that everything is normal. I sighed, then turned over, and through the moonlight shining through the window, I looked at Zhuge Xuan on the kang.
She slept deeply. The moonlight on her slightly smiling face was simply beautiful. I thought to myself, how good it would be if I wasn't in the midst of this mess. In that case, I'd be on good terms with her, but if it hadn't happened so much, how would I have known her?
It was spring there, and suddenly, I heard a rustling of footsteps outside the window.
After a while, a dark figure slowly appeared outside the window. I had a slap in my heart, who would be hanging around at the door of the fat man's house at such a late hour?
The window of the fat man's house is not particularly high, but when the man came over, I could only see his neck at most, and the feeling was as if a headless man passed in front of you, which was very terrifying. I woke up scared from the wine, and wanted to secretly kick a few people around me, but when I turned around, I found that Peanut had already sat up.
Peanut stared at the window. After the one walked over, after a while, the footsteps suddenly stopped at the door of the fat man's house. I was so nervous that I asked Peanut with my eyes, what should I do?
Peanut stood up, grabbed the short knife crushed under him, and walked towards the door. I immediately got up and followed him. The two men came to the door and listened to the movement outside, but they could not hear anything. Peanut nodded at me, then gently pulled the latch with his hand, and pushed the wooden door open.
A cool breeze greeted you, but there was no one at the door. I walked out the door with Peanut and looked around again.
"Who is that?" I asked.
"A very powerful man." Peanut said, "I left without any life, I'm afraid"
Just as Peanut was saying this, suddenly a dark shadow fell from the roof and stood straight in front of our eyes.
The man was very tall and burly, with neat hair, a black trench coat, and leather gloves on his hands. A pair of black sunglasses almost covered his face. But even so, Peanut and I still recognized that this person was Ah Cheng.
No, he's not Ah Cheng anymore, he's the king, the king with my daddy's memory.
The cold hairs all over my body stood on end, and I knew in an instant what he was here for. Ever since he fell, his face had not moved away from Peanut's body.
Although it was very abrupt, it was finally here. It's just that I can't figure it out, what kind of king is Lu, or will Daddy find Caojia Village so quickly?
I opened my mouth a little tremblingly, and wanted to call Daddy, but I couldn't say those two words. If the king in front of him is the same existence as the peanut before, then this one is too rigid and cold now.
"Come with me"
The moment I heard this person speak, I froze completely, because what came from Ah Cheng's body, from Ah Cheng's throat, turned out to be the voice of my father, Yuan Long.
After the initial surprise, Peanut quickly regained his composure. He smiled and looked at his successor and said, "You can take my body." After saying that, Peanut slowly pulled out the short knife.
"Fatty! Qin Feng! I immediately shouted.
Ah Cheng didn't move, still looking at Peanut with a cold face. Qin Feng rushed out first, and then the fat man also leaned against the door in a daze. Seeing the person in front of them, the fat man and Qin Feng also immediately sobered up from their drunkenness.
"I'll go, it's really," the fat man couldn't help but say in surprise, "then we should call him Doctor or Master Yuan now." ”
At this time, it was Qin Feng who was even more excited. He stepped forward, "Master, is that you?" ”
When Qin Feng asked this sentence, I felt bad in my heart. If that person completely has the memory of Daddy, that is, Daddy who has changed his appearance, then as long as he speaks, Qin Feng's position may not be on our side.
"Qin Feng."
Sure enough, Daddy said in the same tone that greeted Qin Feng before. Qin Feng immediately shuddered, then stepped forward again, poofed, and knelt in front of Ah Cheng. "Master, it's really you, where have you been?"
Ah Cheng lowered his head slightly, "Get up." ”
Qin Feng nodded, then stood up from the ground. Almost at the same time, Ah Cheng said, "Catch the peanuts for me." ”
"Daddy!" I couldn't help but shout, "Peanut is nothing anymore, why can't you let him go?" ”
Ah Cheng looked at me and slowly took off his sunglasses. "Yuan Jie, I'll call you Yuan Jie for the time being. I hope you cooperate a little and don't become an obstacle to me, otherwise, you will die too. ”
I've never heard Daddy's voice so cold, and I don't know what to say all of a sudden.
"Damn, Lao Qin, you're enough, now you really want to help that person deal with us?" The fat man said, "Although he has the memory of your master, his current way of thinking is completely different, he is not Master Yuan." ”
Qin Feng opened his mouth to say something, but he hesitated.
"What's the matter, Qin Feng." Ah Cheng said again, "Don't you think I can't call you now that I look younger?" ”
"No, sir, but"
"Then do it." Ah Cheng said.
Qin Feng's whole face tensed, and after a long time, he still didn't move. Ah Cheng snorted coldly, "Waste." With that, he stepped forward and walked towards Peanut.
The fat man and Peanut were ready to take it, but at this time, Qin Feng suddenly came up and pounced on Ah Cheng's body and pressed him to the ground.
"Let's go!" Qin Feng raised his head and shouted. (To be continued......)
