20. The Story in the Corner (2)

With the money in hand, the doctor left and agreed to come back tomorrow with medicine.

Space shatters, and blinding white light fills the world.

When I opened my eyes again, it was a different story.

Squeak squeak......

The night is as cool as water, and the insects are singing.

Above the deep blue sky, the moon hangs high.

Courtyard, under the trees.

A family of three, a stone table, meals.

The dishes and chopsticks collided, and no one spoke.

The doctor who came back from Chenjiaxiang looked at his son, who was immersed in picking up food, with clear slap marks on his face and cracked corners of his mouth, and was stunned.

The lame Chen who is not lame......

Looking at the young man who was still heroic, Jiang Wuye felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and it was difficult to overlap it with that crazy figure.

"Hey, I'm going to see a doctor in the next village today. accidentally saw a little daughter-in-law taking a bath and was slapped twice. ”

As if noticing his father's gaze, Chen Cripple's eyes flashed in panic, and he looked up and joked with a hippie smile.

No one laughed.

Bang –

The bowl slammed on the table.

The woman had a sad face, did not say a word, got up and left directly.

"Hehe......"

Chen Lame laughed dryly, and when he saw his father staring at the dinner table with blank eyes, his face couldn't help but darken, and he raised his spirit and asked, "Dad, how is Xiaofeng's illness?"

It's all from our family, although it's not in the same alley, but if we can help, let's spend a little more time.

I read in a medical book today that this disease is not difficult, as long as it is ......"

"You're teaching me?"

Chen's father put down the dishes and chopsticks, staring at Chen Cripple with unhappy eyes, without the kindness of the day.

"I'm just ......"

"I taught you everything, and I wrote the medical books, what tone are you talking to me now?"

"Dad, I didn't mean that. ”

"Today, the group is here again?"

"Well, just outside the village to keep ......"

atmosphere, suddenly silent.

Chen lame looked at Father Chen, whose face was gradually gloomy, and after a few seconds, like a deflated ball, he lowered his head.

Silent.

Whoa—

The night breeze is blowing, and the branches and leaves of the old trees in the courtyard are undulating.

After a few minutes, Chen's father's face softened. Serious tone:

"You don't have to worry about it in the future. In the past few days, you have gone to the mountains to collect medicine and sell it in the town under the pretext of seeing a doctor, thinking that I don't know? How many lives do you have?"

"......"

Bang!

Bowl, was smashed vigorously.

"Lao Tzu hasn't fallen yet, it's not your turn to worry about it!"

Chen Cripple lowered his head and remained silent.

"Noisy and noisy! Have the ability to quarrel with those life-urging ghosts! Sick cats outside the tigers at home, woo...... I've been pouring blood mold for eight lifetimes when I marry you!"

In the house, there was a crying and scolding of a woman.

"If you can't pass, roll as far as you can!"

Ping Pong –

A table of chopsticks was flipped to the ground.

Chen's father threw up his sleeves and went out.

The room was sobbing silently.

Jiang Wuye glanced at the cripple Chen who was silently squatting on the ground to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, turned around, and followed the departing Chen's father.

The night of ten years ago.

Jiang Wuye followed Chen's father in the village, walking all the way, surrounded by houses illuminated by starlight, insects chirping in his ears, and the wind blowing leaves in the forest in the distance.

The night in the small village in the mountains is ordinary but vibrant.

Chen's father walked all the way through the main road in the village, looked around at the entrance of the village, and saw that there was no talent and strode out of the village.

Jiang Wuye seemed to think of something, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly followed.

Whoop -

A few sturdy men jumped down from the trees on both sides of the road, clasping their hands on their chests, and looking at Chen's father who was approaching with playful eyes.

"What, old man Chen, this big night, go to visit relatives?"

"If you are a doctor, you must go to see a doctor, and the doctor is benevolent. ”

"Hehehe......"

Unabashed sarcasm.

"A few brothers......

Father Chen stepped forward, bent down and arched his hand, took out the money bag on his chest and presented it, and said with a kind and negotiable look: "Look, can you give it a period of grace for a while, and I will definitely pay it back in full at the end of the month." ”

This money......

Jiang Wuye glanced at the money bag and confirmed that it was from the family in Chenjia Lane.

Not even the bag was changed.

It's just that if there is no money, how can this old boy explain?

Jingle Bell......

A man took the money bag, turned it upside down, and showed a satisfied look on his face, and then opened it to take a look, and found that ninety percent of it was copper leaves, and a few pitiful silver leaves were mixed in it.

Smack-

Caught off guard, he slapped Chen's father to the ground on the spot.

"Phew!"

The big foot stepped on the head that Chen's father wanted to lift, and the strong man sprayed a mouthful of spit on Chen's father, and scolded: "The surname Chen, how many brothers are you entertaining?"

At the beginning, you spent two bags of three hundred silver leaves in the field, and now you want to be lenient with these rags?"

It seems that the fire is coming.

Several people punched and kicked Chen's father, who was holding his head on the ground.

Under the tree, Jiang Wuye watched all this quietly, without any waves in his heart.

Because he knew from the beginning that this was not a time travel, everything was just a dream bubble, and it was a foregone conclusion.

A few minutes later, Chen's father on the ground was already covered in footprints, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he was miserable.

A few people seemed to understand the sense of proportion, and stopped when they saw this.

"Half a month, only half a month for you! If you don't pay it back, your son won't be as simple as being slapped. ”

Leave a threat.

Several people hooked their shoulders and backs, teasing Chen's father, and gradually moved away.

Father Chen, who was grinning in pain, slowly got up, touched the tree trunk on the side, gasped for a long time before he regained his strength, sat down again, and looked at the night sky and the bright moon in a daze.

"Half a month...... Half a month......"

After a while, he muttered three words as if he was stunned, but the struggling color in his eyes gradually turned firm, got up, and limped towards the village.

Jiang Wuye stepped to follow.

......

Night, deep.

The sneaky father Chen appeared in Chenjia Lane, turned around three times and touched the lane.

After a while, I came to a house with an open door.

After looking around again and confirming that there was no one, Chen's father entered the courtyard.

Before touching a well in the yard, he stopped, took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms, hesitated slightly, and finally gritted his teeth and poured it all into the well.

This well......

Jiang Wuye looked at the well, and some dusty memories revived in his mind.

Seven or eight households in Chenjia Lane drink daily water from this well.

Now the old man is putting medicine into it, and think about the girl who is seriously ill during the day, the person who collects debts outside the village.

What he wanted to do was self-evident.

"Don't hate me...... I really can't help it. Don't worry, I can cure this disease, and it won't really harm your life. ”

After administering the medicine, Chen's father stood in front of the well and murmured softly, as if he was comforting others and himself.

Hey?

That's not right!

Seeing this, doubts surfaced in Jiang Wuye's heart again.

Since this old man is sure to be cured, why was he even infected later.

It is rumored in the village that it was Chen Cripple who saved people, so what's going on?

His medical skills came from Chen's father, and from the previous conversation between the father and son, it was obvious that he had not yet reached the point where he was better than the blue.

How, then, did he cure the infected?

All kinds of doubts followed, Jiang Wuye stopped and thought,

But time waits for no one.

At that moment, a blinding white light returned.

The world is like a picture scroll, erased by a pair of invisible hands.

The scene changed again, and it was back in the familiar room again.

On the bed, the girl's face was a little rosy, the cloudiness in her eyes had dissipated a lot, and she was drinking the potion from her mother with her mouth open.

This medicine is naturally prepared by Chen's father,

As for the price...... Hehe.

"Lao Chen, thanks to you this time. In the future, but there is something, I am not ambiguous. ”

Seeing that his daughter was indeed showing signs of improvement, the stones that had been pressed in his heart seemed to have been lightened a lot, and he thanked Chen's father again and again.

"What are you talking about? Father Chen shook his head with a smile, and said with a compassionate look: "The heart of the doctor's parents is where the responsibility lies.

Another one, it's all my own family, if I don't do everything I can to save my daughter, is that still a human being?"

Poof......

Jiang Wuye, who heard this in the room, inexplicably thought of the "miracle doctor" who sold Heart-Lung Sudden Pill and leek elixir in his previous life.

While admiring his acting skills, he couldn't help but shake his head and sneer.

Bang bang bang –

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Without waiting for the three people in the room to ask, they were impatiently pushed away.

A sweaty little daughter-in-law rushed in, her eyes locked on Chen's father for the first time, and she couldn't cry in an instant: "Old Chen, come and see my child, I've been coughing up blood since I got up this morning, I ...... Woohoo......"

"What?!"

Chen's father was "shocked", and he didn't ask, and rushed out of the door first.

The little daughter-in-law also wiped her tears and went out crying.

"This ...... Why is it so similar to Xiaofeng before she fell ill?"

The rest of the husband and wife looked at each other, at their daughter on the bed, and then at the two who were hurrying away outside the door.

A feeling that something bad was wrong grew stronger in their hearts.
