Chapter Forty-Six: Love and Rescue
At dusk, the two carriages stopped at the mouth of an alley in the civilian area in the north of the city, and Gu Laixi told the two coachmen to wait for a while, and let the two lead the way in front, and everyone walked into the depths of the alley together.
A man with a skull-like shape, prominent eyes, cheeks, and a full head of gray hair leaned against the door frame with one hand on his lean.
When the two children saw it, they quickly ran forward and supported him, "Dad, why did you come out?" ”
"Dog, girl, where are you two going? Your mother and I are worried to death, if something happens to you two, our family will be finished!" said the man tremblingly.
The two children took out the meat buns from their arms and showed them to the man, "Dad, we have met good people, it is these brothers and sisters, they said to look at the younger brother, maybe they can help." The two children didn't eat for a day, but they only ate one bun, and the rest was reluctant to eat, so they were carefully placed in their arms.
Only then did the man notice the Gu Lai Rare people walking from behind his children, "Where have you two gone?"
"Dad, my sister and I knelt at the east gate of the city for a day and sold ourselves to my brother for treatment. The boy said as he looked down at the man.
"Ah, you guys, hey, it's useless to support you!" said the man, rubbing the boy's head.
"Dad, these brothers and sisters are very nice, let's invite them in. "The first time the girl spoke, her voice was crisp.
"A few people, please come in, the house is dirty and smelly, it's really ...... Hey!" the man said to the Gulais, trembling. With the help of the two children, they walked to a low, dilapidated hut in the southwest corner of the compound.
When a few people entered the door, they saw that it was very dim, and there were not even candles and oil lamps, so they took out a solar LED eye protection lamp to illuminate the entire space.
I saw a woman who also looked like a skeleton lying halfway on the bed, holding a one-year-old boy with a weak breath in her arms.
"Mother, we're back, we're back with food. After the dog baby helped the man to sit on the table on the side, he walked to the woman on the bed with the bun.
"Dog, where did you get this bun? Who are these people?" said the woman raised her head weakly and looked at a few people.
"Mother, my sister and I have sold ourselves to this brother, and he has given me silver, so we can ask a doctor to treat my brother. The dog baby forced out a smile and said to the woman.
When the woman heard this, tears immediately burst out of her eyes, and she didn't say anything, just tears vigorously. The man sitting on the side just sighed vigorously.
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry, the two of them are destined for us, we will treat them well, and we will never let the two of them suffer and suffer. And we won't leave your whole family alone, if you two can trust a few of us, you can let us check your physical condition. Gu Laixi said to the dog's father.
"Hey, the dog baby and the girl can follow you as slaves and maids, as long as you can eat a full meal, the two of us can also be blinded, but poor Xiaobao, I haven't eaten a full meal since I was born. The man said.
"Let's see, I see that you two are mainly malnourished, and as for this little brother, let me take a closer look. Gu Laixi motioned to Chen Sanpao and Tao Yueyi to give the second vein respectively, and he himself hugged Xiaobao.
Probed his divine sense into Xiaobao's meridians, and brushed it a few times from the inside out. Then he said to the two, "Xiaobao is born with a deficiency disease, coupled with long-term malnutrition, the condition is gradually worsening, and if it continues like this, he may not live for three days." ”
The woman on the bed listened, and tears flowed even more.
"Auntie, listen to me first, I have some pills here that can cure Xiaobao. Gu Laixi continued, and then took out a bottle of Zhongpin Peiyuan Dan, a bottle of Shangpin Strong Muscle Pill and a bottle of Zhongpin Bone Strengthening Pill from his arms.
First poured out a Peiyuan Pill from the bottle, gently pinched Xiaobao's mouth, put it in, and took out a high-grade body strengthening injection, "Auntie, I still have to give Xiaobao some acupuncture, it will be fine soon." "I'm afraid that women will be worried, so Gu Laixi said that the injection is acupuncture.
The strong body injection is really quite effective, after a needle, I saw that Xiaobao's face was ruddy, and after a while, the medicinal power of Pei Yuandan also began to take effect, Xiaobao's breathing gradually gained strength, and it didn't take long for him to open his eyes.
"Ah, Xiaobao is awake!" said the woman excitedly and happily.
"Well, auntie, don't worry, Xiaobao's health will get better and better in the future. Gu Laixi said with a smile.
"Master, my uncle has also been malnourished for a long time, coupled with overwork, he has tuberculosis, and there are parasites in his intestines, which makes his body even worse. You only need to take one Shui Huan Dan every morning and evening for three consecutive days to regulate lung qi. Then take a few days of strong tendon pill and strong bone pill. Chen Sanpao said.
Then Tao Yueyi also finished examining the woman, "Master, auntie, she is mainly paralyzed in the lower body due to cold and fatigue during the confinement period, which causes stagnation of qi and blood. In addition, there is arthritis, but it is not serious, an acupuncture with a massage of several acupuncture points in the legs, it can be recovered quickly, and the other is to pay attention to nutrition. ”
Gu Laixi took out the injections and medicine bottles and handed them to Chen Sanpao and Tao Yueyi, "You cure it, Yueyi, you give him two demonstrations of massage techniques a few times, and let them help the aunt massage in the past few days." ”
Chen Sanpao gave the uncle a water pill, and after Tao Yueyi gave the aunt a needle, Gu Laixi picked up the remaining three medicine bottles and instructed: "Uncle, aunt, remember, this bottle of blue and white medicine is Pei Yuan Dan, you two and Xiaobao each eat one pill every 10 days, until you finish eating." This red round bottle is a strong tendon pill, one each of you in the morning and evening, and one for Xiaobao every morning. This blue slender bottle is a bone pill, one for the two of you every day, one for Xiaobao every two days, until you finish eating. This smallest bottle contains insect medicine, and you will take it after five days when your body is almost recuperated. ”
After taking the pill, the uncle and aunt who had been pierced with the needle were grateful, thinking that the Bodhisattva had appeared.
"Benefactor! The dog baby and the girl followed you, we are really relieved, and the benefactor is worshiped by me. The man was in tears, and he had to kneel and kowtow to a few people. Gu Laixi motioned to Chen Sanpao to hold him tightly and not let him move.
"Uncle, is your family out of food? Wait a minute, I'll go out and get you some food. Gu Laixi glanced around a few times, and saw that the cold pot and cold stove in his house had no smoke and fire, and motioned for Tie Quan and Silver Lock and Copper Lock to go out with him. When I got to the door, I took out a bag of rice, a bag of white noodles, a large piece of cured meat, and some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from the space, and then asked a few people to move into the house.
"Uncle, how did your family get to where they are now?" asked Gu Laixi curiously.
"Hey, in the winter of two years ago, my family just gave birth to Xiaobao, so I had to brave the cold wind to go to the river to help people wash clothes, but I got cold, and it didn't take long for me to get out of bed. I used to work for people in the east of the city to barely make ends meet, but since the beginning of this year, my body is so tired that I can't do physical work, so I follow my inner family to make a living by weaving bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets, but a month ago, I couldn't even move bamboo sticks, and only relied on two children, a dog and a girl, to borrow food and beg for food. Xiaobao has been in weak health since he was born, and in the past few days, he is about to die, thanks to a few benefactors. The man wiped his tears as he spoke, and in such a short period of time, his vitality had recovered a lot.
"Do you still have the craft?" asked Gu Laixi with interest.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, my needlework is okay, before I got sick, the big girls and little daughters-in-law around me were willing to ask me to help cut clothes, and there were a lot of tricks, but now, I can't even pinch the needle. The woman sighed and said, "When we have the strength, the baskets we weave are also very strong, and many people come to us to make them, and in addition to these, I can also weave cloth." When I was young, my old man was very skillful and could carve, and he even taught me how to weave baskets. ”
"Auntie, don't worry, your family's physical problems are not big, and they will be able to be adjusted soon. Also, since the two of you have such a good craft, I have a place to recommend to you, our master has a share of industry in the East China Sea, and I can arrange something for the two of you to do. Gu Lai thought for a moment. Since you have other people's children, it is better for good people to do it to the end and give their whole family a way to live.
