002, rhythmic percussion
"Husband, what did you say?" I noticed that his gaze had become so terrifying, so I timidly asked him.
"I mean, why aren't those poisonous snakes dead......" Xuyun heard my voice, the cold light in his eyes gradually faded, and Wen Sheng explained to me.
I breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh. ”
It turned out that he was talking about snakes.
Seeing this, the chill in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he reached out and patted me on the shoulder and instructed, "You go into the house first, I'll go get rid of those poisonous snakes, and bring a bag of rice up by the way." ”
But when he turned around and walked out, I grabbed his arm, "Husband......"
"What's wrong?" He furrowed his long, heroic eyebrows and looked at me suspiciously.
I said in a pleading voice, "The snakes didn't hurt us, so don't kill them, just drive them away." And you have to be careful not to let them bite. ”
He looked at me for a long time before nodding slightly, "Okay." ”
Then I saw him take a shovel from the yard and go to the firewood house in the backyard, so I went into the house and closed the door, lest the snake flee into the house under his drive.
"A-Niang...... A-Niang...... The rat is burrowing again! ”
Not long after closing the door, the sound of light rain came from the room. I hurried to his room.
As soon as I walked into his room, I saw his chubby body lying on the concrete floor, his ears on the ground, listening carefully to the movements from below.
I was afraid that he would catch a cold, so I walked over and picked him up, patting the dirty ash on his body, "You kid, didn't A-Niang tell you that the ground is very cold and dirty, and you can't lie on it?" ”
"But A-Niang, the sound of rats and rats hitting holes in the ground is very good." Xiaoyu was picked up by me and wanted to break free very dissatisfied.
"You kid, what's so nice about the sound of rats burrowing...... ......"Just as I was educating Xiaoyu, there was a sudden knocking sound from underground. And the sound is really rhythmic, very good, not like the sound of a mouse burrowing. So I put down the noisy drizzle and listened.
"Knock knock (whisper)...... Knock Knock (loud) ...... Knock Knock (whispered) ...... Knock Knock (whispered) ...... Knock (loud) ......"
But when it came to the third loud sound, the percussion stopped, and I couldn't help but kneel on the ground and put my ears on the ground to listen. As a result, I held my breath and waited for a while, but no sound came again.
"Auntie, I still want to listen to the sound of rats burrowing, listen well!" Xiaoyu couldn't hear the sound anymore, so she hugged my arm and shook it coquettishly, which made me come back to my senses.
I looked at him in a daze, a little panicked in my heart. The percussion sound just now was very rhythmic, and it was clearly not something that an animal could strike, it should be artificial......
Artificial?
If that's the case, then there's someone under Xiaoyu's room?!
But when I calm down and think about it, the ground in this room is full of dirt, how can there be anyone?
"Squeak......
At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open from the outside, and Asahiyun's voice came from outside, "It's time to light a fire and cook." ”
"Daddy! There are rats and rats in the house! Hearing Xuyun's voice, Xiaoyu hurriedly shook off his little fat legs and ran towards him.
"You run slowly, don't fall." Xu Yun saw that his running pace was crooked, and he hurriedly stopped him.
Xiaoyu was most afraid of him, and he was so fierce that he didn't dare to run, so he only walked towards him cautiously. It is estimated that he interrupted, and Xiaoyu didn't say the sound of rats burrowing anymore.
I also retracted my thoughts at this time, turned around and walked towards Xuyun, "You drove the snake away?" ”
He walked in steadily, carrying a bag of rice, his forehead covered with sweat. It can be seen that it must have been a lot of effort to drive away the snake just now. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so tired and sweaty just carrying a bag of rice.
He frowned when he heard this, and said helplessly: "You don't let me hurt them, but those snakes are very agile, as soon as I chase them, they will drill into the cracks of the firewood pile, where to drive away." ”
"Then let them go, anyway, I won't get close to Xiaoyu in the future." I walked to Xuyun one step ahead of Xiaoyu as I spoke, picked up the handkerchief in my pocket, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at him flatteringly.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to reluctantly say, "I really can't help you." That's it for now. ”
Xiaoyu finally came over at this time, hugged his legs, raised his head, looked at him pitifully, and asked him to hug.
He had no choice but to pick him up, and then he held him in one hand, picked up the rice bag in the other, and walked into the kitchen. I hurriedly followed, and then washed rice to make breakfast.
When I made breakfast, Xuyun had already finished taking a shower, and by the way, he came out with Xiaoyu to wash his face. Both father and son were dressed in neat white shirts and sat at the table, looking civilized.
"After eating, you can come with me to the hall to help today." When I sat down to eat, he handed me the peeled egg and said to me.
Tangzi is the place where he practices medicine, and it is called a hospital or clinic in the city, but in our place, it is called Yitangzi, or Tangzi for short. Usually he doesn't let me go, saying that there are many patients there, and there will naturally be more germs, and he is worried that I will be infected or something.
"Let me help me? I don't know how to practice medicine. Besides, what about the light rain? I wondered.
"Xiaoyu can be sent to Da Zhuang's house, doesn't his sister Lixiang like to take Xiaoyu to play the most."
He didn't say anything I could help with, so I asked again, and he replied lightly, "I don't want to see other women in that place except you." ”
As soon as he said this, my cheeks flushed, "What do you mean?" ”
"Daddy, where is it?" Without waiting for Xu Yun to answer, Xiao Yu put down the wooden bowl and raised his head curiously to ask him.
"Adults are not allowed to interject when they talk!" Xu Yun hurriedly glared at him coldly, and Xiaoyu immediately lowered his head to drink porridge, and didn't dare to say more. Seeing this, he replied to me, "The widow of the Ruan family has been running into my hall every day recently, not to say that she is not feeling well underneath, and may have a gynecological disease, let me show her." The day before yesterday, I was annoyed by her, so I took her pulse, and the pulse was not quite right. I prescribed some medicine to her, but yesterday it was not only not better, but it was more serious. So, today I want you to go over and help me see what the situation is. ”
"The widow of the Ruan family?" As soon as I mentioned her, I suddenly remembered what Lixiang reminded me a few days ago, she told me that this widow of the Ruan family had been hooking men everywhere in the village since her husband fell to his death two years ago when he went up the mountain to quarry dendrobium. Recently, I have been running into the hall repeatedly, as if I want to hook up with Xuyun. Originally, I didn't believe it, but now when I heard Xu Yun say this, I immediately became angry, and put the chopsticks down, "Okay, I'll help you take a look today!" ”
If you don't have a disease, come and hook up with my husband and see that I don't scold her to death.
After eating and settling down to the light rain, Xuyun took my hand and walked towards the medical hall.
The medical hall is located in the middle of the village, which is a three-story building on stilts, the first floor is a consultation hall, and the second floor is a place for massage and acupuncture and minor surgery, with four beds. Because the third layer is high above the ground, it is not so damp, so it is used to put medicines. Outside the medical hall is the threshing floor in the village, and what activities are usually held in the village are held here, so it can be said that the medical hall is the most "prosperous" place in the village.
After coming to the medical hall, he arranged for me to sit at the desk, and hurried upstairs, "You sit here first, I'll go upstairs and get something." ”
When he went up, bored, I looked around, and finally opened the drawer of my desk, and saw a thick combination lock notebook pressed under the stethoscope. I reached out and took out the notebook and flipped through it.
The edges of the front and back of this notebook are worn off, which should be caused by a long time of flipping through it, and the content inside must be very important. What kind of content can make the busy Xuyun read it often?
I wanted to open the notebook, so I pressed the password lock with the birthdays of Xuyun and Xiaoyu, but I couldn't open it. Is it my birthday?
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, at the stairs behind me, there was the sound of Xuyun's footsteps and talking as he descended the stairs.
I was startled, and the notebook fell from my hand to the floor. Seeing this, I hurried to pick it up, "It's nothing, just found a copy in your drawer...... Yes! Bugger! ”
Before I could finish my sentence, I was so frightened by the current situation that I withdrew my hand, stood up, and retreated to the corner. But even after retreating here, I still couldn't take my eyes off the notebook that had fallen to the ground.
I saw a flattened blood-colored insect crawling out of the notebook, and after all the bodies came out, they became swollen, and like silkworms, they crawled towards me quickly.
I've never seen a weird bug like this, and I'm screaming in fright, "Ah...... Xuyun, Insect ...... Bugs ......"
"Don't move!" Seeing this, Xuyun immediately stopped me and didn't allow me to move.
