Chapter 7: Sight Restored
Since this day, Sheng Siyan's eyes have been like a day by day.
Wang asked her again, "How do you feel?" What's uncomfortable? Where is it comfortable? What are the eyes like today? Can you see something? β
Her answers are no longer the same, but are changing day by day.
Day 1.
"It feels better. Mother, I can see little golden dots in front of me, what is that? β
Wang was stunned for a moment and looked out the door. ββIt seems to be the rays of the sun?
The next day.
"My eyes are itchy today, mother, rub my ......"
Day 3.
"Mother, is it dawn? It's so bright outside......"
Wang's smile is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and his mood is getting better day by day.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's been five years, and although it took a little longer, she finally lived up to the ancestors of the Sheng family and cured the child's eye disease!
On the seventh day, after Wang fed Sheng Siyan breakfast and medicine, he was about to ask her a few signature questions as usual, when he saw Sheng Siyan's long eyelashes tremble a few times, and then slowly opened his eyes.
It's not that the Wang family has never seen Sheng Siyan open his eyes, but this time, he was completely stunned.
Wang had imagined many scenes when Sheng Siyan's eye disease was cured, but none of them had ever imagined that it was so wonderful.
I saw that the layer of gray and white like haze on Sheng Siyan's eyes had completely faded, and only two eyes that shone like obsidian could be seen, shining flexibly on the white and slightly blue eyes!
What "bright eyes", "clever smile", what "eyebrows are smoky", "eyes are full of autumn water", are not enough to describe the brilliance of Sheng Siyan's eyes!
Seeing these smart and tactful eyes, no one will ever think that these are a pair of blind girl's eyes!
Sheng Siyan blinked again, as if he was adapting to the change of light in front of him.
"Mother, I saw you!" Sheng Siyan stretched out her snow-white and tender little hand and held Wang's frosty face, and the soft smile in her eyes was so soft that it almost dripped water.
Wang's tears poured down, and he pillowed his face between Sheng Siyan's soft little hands, sobbing and said: "Mother has seen it, I have seen it, my mother's little Siyan can finally see the sun......"
She hugged Sheng Siyan and cried fiercely, and then hurriedly lit incense and candles, and silently prayed in her heart: The ancestors of the Sheng family, you can look at it. The prestige of the Sheng family will not be severed in this land. The surname of the Sheng family will not disappear in this land!
Sheng Siyan followed the Wang family to kowtow to the ancestral tablet and bow down.
After breakfast, Wang closed the door tightly, saying that Sheng Siyan was sick and would not let her go out for the time being.
Sheng Siyan also knew that the Wang family was not allowed to go out for the time being because of her eye disease.
Wang had to carefully observe the progress of her eyes' recovery.
And Sheng Siyan looked at the bright place for a while, and really felt that his eyes were sour and a little uncomfortable, so he obediently listened to Wang's words and recuperated at home. No more than one hour in daylight per day.
The second brother Wang next door was very worried, and quietly came to see it a few times, but asked the Wang family to persuade him to go back, saying that Sheng Siyan's condition had recurred, and it would be fine when spring began.
During the Chinese New Year, the people of Wangjia Village sent New Year's goods and food to Wang and Sheng Siyan, and the mother and daughter had a very rich New Year.
Sheng Siyan stayed at home until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, her eyes were completely adapted to the daylight, and she no longer felt that her eyes were sour and tearful when she went out to stay in the yard all day, and Wang announced that her eye disease was really cured.
Sheng Siyan was very happy, and also asked Wang: "Mother, what kind of disease is my eye?" "She's just curious.
Because as far as she knew, this congenital eye disease (brought from the womb) had never been cured in her previous life. At that time, medicine was much more advanced than it is now......
Wang Shi actually didn't know very well, she just said vaguely: "The Sheng family's prescription is really powerful, even if you are an eye disease brought by the womb, it can be cured." After a pause, he told her again: "You are not the first. The eldest lady of the Wu family, that is, the biological daughter of Grandma Zheng, also had an eye disease brought from the womb, and was cured by Grandma Zheng, and it only took a year of hard work. Unlike your mother and me, it took five years of hard work to cure you. β
Sheng Siyan listened and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't say that, our family lives in this small mountain village, and if we want all kinds of medicines, we have to go to the mountains to pick them up and catch them by ourselves, where can we compare with the Wu family, the god of wealth, who has everything you want?" - Under such humble conditions, my mother can still cure my eye disease, and my mother's ability is not worse than that of Grandma Zheng! β
Although there is an element of flattery, the general rationale is good.
No matter how well Wang knew it, he couldn't help but be in a good mood, reached out and pinched Sheng Siyan's pink and red face, and said with a smile: "Everyone in our family is clumsy, who would have thought that with you, if this mouth followed the walnut car, I really don't know who to follow!" β
"It must have been with my great-grandfather, huh? Mother? Mother didn't say that my great-grandfather was not only skilled in medicine, but also able to speak well, when he was in Taixue, his tongue was fighting with Confucianism, and even the old man of the Zheng family couldn't talk about him! Sheng Siyan put his hands on his cheeks, looked up at Wang, and said with a smile.
Wang nodded her forehead, "Okay, you have a good memory." I think I only mentioned it once two or three years ago, right? How old were you then? Just remember it so clearly? Be careful outside, don't talk nonsense. ββDo you know that the woe comes from the mouth? β
Sheng Siyan nodded vigorously, "Of course I know." I know this better than anyone else. She said with a grin, then changed the subject, and said, "Mother, can I go out today?" β
"Well, my mother will take you out. There is a lantern festival in the village tonight, let's go out for a walk, say hello to the villagers, and say, your eye disease is cured, thank you for your care over the years, and it's time for us to return the favor of these villagers. Wang said, pulled Sheng Siyan to the back room, and brought her a set of clothes to change into.
As soon as it gets dark, all kinds of beautiful lanterns are lit on the village road of Wangjia Village, illuminating a street like a swimming dragon.
The fifteen lantern festivals in Wangjia Village are famous, and people from all over the neighborhood come to enjoy it, just like catching up with the market.
Wang took Sheng Siyan, who was dressed up, out of the house and came to the lantern in front of the street.
The second brother Wang next door was the first to discover Sheng Siyan and Wang, and hurriedly walked over with a little rabbit lamp, handed it to Sheng Siyan, and said, "Siyan, you haven't come out for a long time, have you recovered from your illness?" β
Sheng Siyan nodded, looked up at Second Brother Wang, blinked vigorously, and smiled sweetly: "I saw you, Second Brother Wang!" β
Second Brother Wang looked down and was suddenly stupid.
I saw that the pair of gray-white eyes that they were familiar with before were gone, and in their place were a pair of black and white eyes, looking at him softly, and his heart was about to melt......
