Chapter 7

Previous Chapter

This story was told by my cousin.

My cousin, who is a few years older than me, has dropped out of school to work. Every year when I come back for the Spring Festival, I will come to my grandmother's house, that is, his grandmother's house to visit relatives.

This year, after dinner, the adults chatted together, and we just sat in the yard and basked in the sun.

I don't know if he's wrong, or if he's too bored, and says, "I'll tell you a ghost story." ”

"Can you stop talking about this during the Chinese New Year?" I waved my hand to show that I didn't listen.

He said, "It's true, it happened two days ago." ”

When I saw that he was doing something, I motioned for him to tell him about it.

He lit a cigarette to himself and put it in his mouth.

He knew I smoked, but my family didn't, so he didn't let me, and I wouldn't be stupid enough to smoke in front of my family.

He said that two days ago, he went to the village clinic to see a doctor because he had drunk too much alcohol the day before and his stomach was upset.

The young people in the village who go out to work and do business basically don't see each other for a year and a half.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone came back to gather, and it was inevitable that they would have a few more drinks.

I heard him say that he had just finished the injection that afternoon and was about to go home, when a third uncle from a side door in their village hurriedly ran to the health room.

"What's wrong with the third uncle? So urgent. He asked.

His third uncle hurriedly replied: "Your third aunt is like a sheep crazy at home, I will call the doctor to take a look." ”

The doctor in the clinic was also on the side, so he said, "Don't worry, tell me slowly, what's going on." ”

His third uncle breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's such a doctor, after eating at noon today, his third aunt said that she had a headache and was uncomfortable, so she fell asleep."

I went out to play cards after she fell asleep, and when I got home about four o'clock in the afternoon, I saw her trembling in the courtyard with a firewood pile, and she shouldn't tell her, and she was babbling some mushy words. ”

"Come with me."

"Has she ever been like this before?" The doctor asked

"I haven't had it before, except for some fever and cold, and I don't have any brain problems at all." His third uncle replied

"Let's go, go over and take a look, Xiaodong, you will also come and help." The doctor beckoned my cousin to go with him, and there were many people who could do a favor if necessary.

My cousin nodded in agreement, and then the doctor brought some injections and medicines, and the three of them ran to his third uncle's house.

Several people arrived at his third uncle's house, but they didn't see anyone in the courtyard.

The three of them went to the house again to look for him, and finally found his third aunt in a corner of the kitchen.

I don't know how her third aunt ran to the kitchen.

When the three of them found his third aunt, they saw her holding a steamed bun in her left hand and a raw with a hair in her right hand and gnawing on it.

His third uncle hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to snatch the raw for her.

I knew that she had a lot of strength, so I held on to it.

His third uncle is in his forties, and he usually does farm work, so he does have a lot of strength.

However, his third uncle didn't grab it with two hands.

My cousin was about to go up to help, when he saw his third aunt suddenly raise her head.

Speaking of which, my cousin lay down in the rocking chair and took a hard puff on his cigarette, then said, "You don't know, I almost scared my urine when I saw her face." ”

"What's wrong with her face?" I asked.

My cousin took two more puffs, extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette, threw it out, and continued:

She looked up, her eyes rolled up, most of them whites, and they were bloodshot.

Bared her teeth and screamed at us, with meat residues, steamed bun residues, and I don't know if it was chicken blood or blood pierced by bones in her mouth.

The doctor was also taken aback by her, and hurriedly grabbed my cousin, and at the same time pulled his third uncle away, telling him not to rob it again, so as not to irritate his third aunt again.

His third uncle squatted on the ground with a "sigh", his calloused hands holding his head, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Doctor, look...... Look at this ......," said his third uncle, sighing again.

The doctor looked at it for a while and said, Xiaodong, you go to find out if there is anything to eat, the best is big fish and big meat, and bring it over with heat.

"I'll go, I know where." His third uncle got up and went to the living room, and after a while, he came over with bean buns, beef, mutton, pork, and a portion of tofu skin.

Because it is the New Year, every family prepares a lot of meat, which is used to greet relatives, and there are some basic types of chicken, duck and fish.

His third uncle also knew who these were for, so he didn't take the fish, for fear that she would be stuck by the fish bones.

"Warm it up," the doctor said to his third uncle.

After speaking, he put down the medicine box, walked to his third aunt and squatted down, and said face-to-face with his third aunt, "Don't eat these first, the big fish and meat are hot for you, don't hurt this body, okay?" ”

But it's strange to say, as soon as he said this, his third aunt really put the raw rooster on the ground, just lowered her head and nibbled on the steamed bun one by one.

When the steamed bun was finished, she stared at the raw with the whites of her bloodshot eyes, and a piece of saliva flowed out of her mouth.

"Hurry up, it's hot, just eat it." The doctor urged

The food that his third uncle brought was cooked in advance, and it was quick to heat it up on the gas stove.

"Okay, okay, okay" After his third uncle finished speaking, he brought a plate of good food.

As soon as she put it down, her third aunt reached out and grabbed a piece of pork and a bean bag, and swallowed it violently.

His third uncle said, "You eat slowly, it's all yours"

Then he took a spoonful of water from her with a large water spoon and put it in front of her.

"Bring them all," the doctor said.

My cousin and his third uncle brought over the rest of the dishes.

The three of us watched her eat.

"You'll be fine if you eat so much......"

Before his third uncle finished speaking, the doctor waved his hand to stop him and stopped him from talking.

When her third aunt ate three bean buns and two plates of meat

The doctor moved a bench to sit opposite her and said, "Let's leave after eating, don't toss people for the New Year."

My cousin and his third uncle finally came to their senses at this time, could it be that they had caused something unclean?

You can't blame them for their slow reaction, at first everyone thought they had some kind of disease, because of preconceived ideas, everyone didn't think about anything else.

Hearing the doctor say this, his third aunt was not in a hurry to eat, and raised her head to look at the doctor again, and after a while, she whined and said something, obviously not his third aunt's voice, "Those unfilial beasts, damn it"

Although she didn't say it very clearly, everyone could hear what she said.

The doctor said, "The world is bustling, all for profit." The soil in the world is all for profit. If you want to blame it, you can't educate it well."

After hearing this, her third aunt laughed a few times and stopped talking, and continued to bury her head in eating.

The doctor frowned, and then persuaded, "No matter what, they are your flesh and blood, your children, yes!" You are unwilling, you feel unfair, and I admit that you are indeed very pathetic, but people die like lights going out, and if you should put it down, let it go. ”

Speaking of this, he stood up and picked up his medicine box, turned his head again and said, "Good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, eat well, just go alive, go back and burn more money for you"

Her third aunt was still immersed in eating, and suddenly fell down while eating.

The doctor didn't wait for his third uncle to speak, so he called my cousin and the three of them, carried her third aunt to the bedroom, and gave my cousin a shot of glucose, and they came out.

His third uncle was busy helping his third aunt change clothes and wipe his face, so he didn't let him come out and say anything thanks.

Walking on the road, my cousin asked the doctor, "Did she get on her by anyone?" ”

The doctor said as he walked, "I guess, I haven't seen this disease before." ”

My cousin patted the fart on the side and said, "Then you have two hits, this can be cured." ”

"In our line of work, there are always a few people who are more or less useful, and the research point is useful to them, for example, if someone's child is scared, he comes to see you, you have to show the disease to others, he doesn't care what you think, as long as the result is good."

"However, there are some things that can't be said, especially for us like us, it's easy for people to make fallacies about their work status, let alone say that these things are a little sensitive, and when others come to see the doctor, I just need to take care of the disease."

When my cousin talked about this, I said, "There's something about this doctor."

My cousin also chimed in, "I don't know what other people do." He got up and told me to go with him to buy cigarettes.

I don't want to go, how comfortable is it to lie down and bask in the sun? I looked to see that no one was paying attention to us, so I threw him the half pack of cigarettes that was left in my trouser pocket.

He smiled and said nothing, then lay down again, lit a cigarette, and smoked.

I also squinted my eyes and ignored him, but I felt sorry for my half bag of Yuxi.
