Chapter 114: Delivering Medicine
"Ouch, what are you crying about? I see that your Uncle Qing didn't drip much about you. Didn't I just pat you?" Aunt Li squatted down and hugged him, patted him on the back and comforted: "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, grandmother will give you cornmeal at noon, okay?"
The second baby shook her head and ignored it, secretly glanced at Su Qingmo, and then buried her head in Aunt Li's arms and cried.
The fear of Su Qingmo in his heart made him unable to speak.
He felt that this father, grandmother, and eldest brother's life-saving benefactor named Su Langzhong was definitely not a normal person, she stood on the wooden bridge and inserted a stick into the water, and she could insert a few fish, but she followed her example to insert fish, but the fish did not insert one, but she got herself into the water.
The eldest brother once told him that there were monsters in the river, but he never believed it, but now he thinks that there are really monsters in the river, and he was pulled into the river by the monsters.
As for the reason why the life-saving benefactor was not dragged away by the monster, maybe it was because she was in the same group as the monster in the river.
As long as he thought that if she was really in the same group as the monsters in the river, he could not help but be afraid and afraid of her.
No one could comprehend the fear he felt at the moment he fell into the water, and the cold river rushed into his nostrils and throats. Only then did he realize that when he looked at the clear river water on weekdays, there were actually a lot of fine sand and gravel wrapped in it. Those tiny gauze stones got stuck in his nostrils, making him feel a stomachache every time he exhaled and breathed.
He saw his friends standing on the wooden bridge in the light of the river, and watched them shout at the place where he had fallen into the water, but he himself could not hear anything.
He kept waving his hands and kicking his feet, trying to tell them where he was so that they could save him, but the movement he tried to make was only a slight ripple in the ubiquitous river before calming down.
He finally felt the fear of the river, and began to regret why he didn't listen to his father and mother, and no matter how greedy he was, he had to remember to stay away from the river and never go to the river to play.
He regretted it, he desperately wanted his father, his mother and his eldest brother to save him, but now they didn't even know where they were playing in the afternoon, how could they know that they had fallen into the water?
It hurts, he feels that his chest hurts so much, every time he breathes, he feels like his chest is going to be cracked by pain, but even if it hurts, he still can't help but want to breathe, and then he inhales a mouthful of river sand in his nostrils, and gradually he feels that he can't even breathe.
He tried to keep his eyes open until he could no longer see the light on the river.
It must be dark now, he thought. Daddy and mother, grandmother and eldest brother, they must have found out that they haven't come home yet, right?
Are they on their way to find themselves right now?
Have you already walked to the reeds?
Can you already see this side of the wooden bridge?
Are you looking for yourself on the edge of the river and calling your name?
It's a pity that he can't see or hear anything now, his chest hurts, his stomach hurts, his head hurts, he is so tired that he wants to sleep......
He secretly prayed to God, hoping that when he woke up, he would see his father and mother, as well as his grandmother and eldest brother. At that time, he must tell them that he will be obedient in the future, and will never come to the river again.
Who knew that when he woke up, he would really see his father and mother kissing them. He hugged them and cried fiercely, venting all the fears and grievances in his heart in the cry.
After another two or three days, when he was well and able to get out of bed, his father and mother took him to thank the benefactor who had saved his life.
After learning that the life-saving benefactor lived on the mountain with Uncle Qing, he was still a little excited.
It's just that when he crossed the wooden bridge, he put himself on his father's back, closed his eyes tightly and buried his face in his father's back, not daring to look at the river again, for fear that the monsters in the river would pull him into the water again.
But he never thought that the benefactor who saved him was actually the woman who stood on the wooden bridge and stuck in the fish before!
He instantly felt frightened, and he hugged his father's neck tightly and refused to get off his father's back. Even in the beating and scolding of his father and mother, he did not let go of the hands that were holding his father's neck.
Fortunately, the monster woman didn't ask herself to go down, but when he left, he saw Uncle Qing's face ugly.
At this time, Aunt Li naturally also noticed her grandson's eyes, she squinted at Su Qingmo with presbyopia, and felt that this girl was very angry. Then he looked at Li Qing and asked, "Young boy, this girl is ......?"
Li Qing hurriedly took a step back to the side, gave up the position in front to Su Qingmo, and explained: "Auntie, this is Miss Su, she was the one who rescued the second baby in the first place." ”
"What? she, she...... Is it really her who saved our family's second child?" Aunt Li's body trembled, and her eyes looking at Su Qingmo immediately changed a little, and her originally cloudy eyes swelled with water.
I saw her push away the second baby in her arms and approach Su Qingmo step by step.
Su Qingmo looked at her excited look, and her eyebrows twisted unconsciously.
Seeing that the eldest lady's outstretched hands didn't seem to be very clean, she began to think, if she was going to pounce on herself for a while, or wanted to grab her hand, should she just avoid her physical contact?
Speaking of which, she didn't pay so much attention to it originally, but since she got along with Liqing, his cleanliness that made her pores stand up when she saw it was also infected.
She was not as serious as him, but looking at the back of Aunt Li's hands, there was still a circle of suspicious gray objects left on the backs of her hands. He looked for something suspicious, the dirt from his clothes.
Sure enough, Aunt Li stepped forward a few steps and grabbed Su Qingmo's hands that she wanted to hide behind her back, only to see her say with a grateful face: "Miss Su, you are the great benefactor of our old Li family, you are the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, you are the reborn parents of our second child, you are the ......"
Su Qingmo: "......"
Su Qingmo listened to her sentence after sentence, without pausing praise and various metaphors in between, and couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Even Guanyin Bodhisattva, who rescued the suffering, and her parents said it, what a great good deed she did?
Su Qingmo shook her hand quietly, but she underestimated Aunt Li's enthusiasm, and she didn't break free after a few flips. I had to cast my eyes on Li Qing, who was frowning and watching the excitement.
Li Qing, who received her hint, took Aunt Li's hand very righteously, cleared her throat and said to her: "Auntie, I know that you are very grateful to Miss Su in your heart, but you always hold her hand like this, don't frighten Miss Su." ”
"Ah," Aunt Li's originally confused expression immediately understood, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Su Qingmo, seeing that she was really frowning at this time, thinking that she was unhappy, she said to Su Qingmo with some trepidation: "Miss Su, I, I was too excited just now, and I bumped into you without noticing for a while, please don't go to your heart." My wife I was too excited just now, since the second baby woke up, the old woman has always wanted to go up the mountain to thank you in person, but my wife's health is not very good, I am afraid that I will be able to breathe on the slope, you must not be surprised. ”
Su Qingmo saw that she was in a hurry to explain but didn't come to hold her hand again, and she was secretly relieved in her heart at the moment.
turned to her and said: "Auntie, you are too polite, rescuing the second baby that day is also our duty as doctors, and no one will stand idly by when they see it." ”
When Aunt Li saw that she was serious, she stopped arguing with her, and sighed: "Ouch, Miss Su, you are really a bodhisattva-hearted person, the young boy is a bitter and happy life in this life, and he will be blessed in the future." ”
When Su Qingmo heard her say this, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face became a little embarrassed, and she turned her head and began to look at the courtyard, pretending not to hear.
Li Qing's ears were so red after hearing this, and he wanted to say something, but when he saw that Su Qingmo didn't seem to hear it, he tightened the corners of his mouth and didn't squeak, and pretended not to hear it.
Aunt Li was secretly thinking about Su Qingmo's words just now, thinking that those Lang Zhong who knew how to treat would naturally not stand by when they saw the patient, but if they wanted to move to heal, they also needed to give up a certain amount of money before the other party would make a move, otherwise, I would give you a sentence directly: The medical skills are shallow, the patient's condition is serious, and I am afraid that there is nothing that can be done.
The most poignant and realistic sentence in the current era is: I can't afford to live, I can't afford to be sick.
can't afford to live, because life is cheap, how many families sell their children and daughters as slaves because they can't open the pot at home.
I can't afford to be sick, as long as I live, as long as I am diligent and willing to work hard, I am busy day and night, and I will be full no matter what. But if someone in the family is sick, this kind of person who can only eat two meals a day will have no extra money to ask Lang Zhong for treatment. In the end, you can only drag a minor illness into a major illness, and then wait for death.
In Su Qingmo's consciousness, saving the second baby just happened to be bumped into by her, and it just happened that she had time to rescue him, and it was just a matter of raising her hands, and Li Daniu's family didn't have to be like this at all.
But for Li Daniu's family, the child was caught in the river after such a while, and they were already hopeless, but they were suddenly rescued under Su Qingmo's hands, and they hadn't let them spend a penny, how could they not be grateful?
Aunt Li didn't know what chain reaction her last sentence had caused to the two people present.
She just looked at her grandson and still cried, Aunt Li was distressed, and quickly said: "Why are you still crying? As long as you don't cry, how about grandmother put an egg in the cornmeal for you?"
As soon as the second baby heard that there were eggs to eat, she immediately raised her head from her arms with sobs, and said with a hiccup, "Grandmother, uh...... If you add uh to it...... Add two more eggs, uh...... Uh, me...... I won't cry anymore. ”
"Okay, well, according to you, you are, you little crying bag. Aunt Li happily nodded the forehead of the second baby, looked helpless, looked up at Li Qing and Su Qingmo and said: "Qing boy and Miss Su hurry up and go into the house to sit, at this time, your eldest brother and his wife are working in the field, I will let the second baby call them back in a while." ”
As soon as the second baby heard that they were entering his house, his body shook at once, and he hurriedly said, "Grandmother, I'll go to the field to call my father and mother to come back." With that, the man ran out.
Aunt Li also chased after her and advised: "Okay, good boy, then you go quickly, remember to be careful on the road." ”
Su Qingmo glanced at Li Qing, and Li Qing walked up to Aunt Li and said, "Auntie, Miss Su came down the mountain today to deliver medicine to the second child." ”
"Medicine?" Aunt Li's face changed slightly, and she began to worry about the body of the second child, and when she turned her head to see the herbs contained in the bamboo basket that Li Qing was carrying in her hand, she was a little apprehensive: "Let Miss Su bother, but I don't know if the money for this herb can wait until the autumn harvest in a month, and we will pay you after we sell the grain?"
Su Qingmo shook her head: "Auntie, don't worry, these herbs are all picked by me on that mountain, and they are taken from the things in the mountain behind your Lijia Village, how can I collect your money?"
Aunt Li hurriedly shook her head: "That's not okay." ”
Su Qingmo smiled, didn't say much to her, and directly glanced at Li Qing, and Li Qing pulled Aunt Li to the house.
