Chapter 40: Staying Alive
Li Da's wife and concubine glanced at each other, and they couldn't even speak now. They really regret not being at the beginning, why did they just be blinded by lard and do such a thing? Mother's health is not good, now if something happens again......
They couldn't even think about it.
At this time, the doctor who treated Gu Xiaomei in the house had already used a silver needle. Changsheng looked at Grandma Gu, who was pierced like a hedgehog, and his heart twitched.
It's all because she has no ability, otherwise, Grandma Gu wouldn't have asked them to take them away, and she would have been killed like this......
Old Gu Tou glanced at Changsheng, whose tears were falling silently, sighed slightly, and touched her head with his big hand, silently comforting. This child has done a good job, if she hadn't blocked these people's way with a long knife in time, and by the time they transported the little sister home, the little sister would have been suffocated to death.
Feeling his grandfather's silent comfort, Changsheng barely suppressed the urge to cry, and turned to look at Gu Xiaomei worriedly.
At this time, the doctor finally put down his hand, but his expression was not very good-looking.
"What's wrong? You have something to say. ”
The white-bearded doctor glanced at the ugly old Gu Tou, but still spoke softly.
"The patient's health is not good, and today there was a scene, he couldn't breathe well, and he fainted once, this ......"
After all, the doctor was still soft-hearted, glanced at the people with ears around him, leaned on Lao Gu's ear and whispered.
"I'm afraid, it's been these two days."
"Click!"
Lao Gutou's fists were clenched together fiercely, making a crackling sound, although the people around him couldn't hear what the doctor said, but looking at Lao Gutou's reaction, they also knew that it was not good news.
Old Gu Tou glanced at the person kneeling at the door outside viciously, and he really couldn't swallow this evil breath, so he turned around and was about to tell the news. But at the moment of his step, the corner of his clothes was grabbed by a weak force.
It's Gu Xiaomei.
Although this strength was no greater than a ball of cotton, Lao Gu Tou seemed to be imprisoned to death, and he couldn't move.
"Second Brother ......"
Gu Xiaomei was so weak that she could barely speak, but her eyes were full of pleading. Although she couldn't say it, everyone present knew what she meant. This is especially true of the old Gutou. He was silent for a moment, and finally felt that his steps were so heavy that he couldn't step out, and slowly stopped.
He turned around and held Gu Xiaomei's dry and thin hand, and nodded slowly.
"Alright, I know what you mean. I won't say it, but you have to get better. Otherwise, these little rabbits of your family, I don't care how they are doing, I just cut them over with a knife and see how they still toss! ”
Gu Xiaomei showed a weak smile, and then nodded.
At this time, Li Da's wife and others outside the door also heard the movement in the house, and after knowing that Gu Xiaomei was fine, they almost cried with joy.
"Mother is fine! Mother is fine! Did you hear that? ”
glaring at them fiercely, Li Da looked inside with no peace of mind, but he didn't see anything, and suddenly showed a lost expression.
He really wanted to go in to see how his mother was doing, but looking at the angry appearance of the second uncle just now, he also knew that Lao Gu Tou would not let them in, so he could only turn around and leave step by step amid the persuasion of the people around him.
Hearing that there was no movement outside, Gu Xiaomei quietly breathed a sigh of relief. But she was so tired that she couldn't control herself a little at this moment, and immediately fell asleep.
Lao Gu Tou picked up her thin hand, sighed heavily, and then sat down holding this hand. Even though the old doctor was used to seeing the joys and sorrows of this world, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the old Gu Tou so sad.
The most difficult thing in this world is just birth, old age, sickness and death, just get used to it, get used to it......
"Big brother, I have a ginseng here, you can make a recipe and ask my little sister to eat it." This was originally for her and Changsheng to replenish her body, and she shouldn't waste it. ”
The old doctor couldn't help but sigh.
"If before, this old ginseng could still be supplemented, but now in her situation, eating these old ginseng is just a void and not being replenished......"
However, he remembered Gu Xiaomei's actions just now and the children who had left outside her, and suddenly understood something, and was silent for a long time, and then sighed.
"The old man knows. If...... At that time, I will drink a bowl of soup and medicine, at least so that she can be clearer. As for this little girl......"
The old doctor has seen more people, and many sick patients are not good-looking, and he is not scared by Changsheng.
At this time, the boy carefully checked the pulse of immortality, and was surprised, but he felt a little uncertain.
"This child's pulse, if it were only from its own point of view, should have died a long time ago. But it is the invisible qi that protects her heart that allows her to survive to this day. Far from getting weaker, the child was getting stronger...... Forgive the old man for his incompetence, I really have never seen such a pulse, and I don't dare to prescribe medicine at will. ”
"Then can she eat this ginseng?"
"It's okay to eat a little ginseng."
"Then thank you Big Brother......"
Old Gu Tou sent the old doctor out, and when he turned around, he saw Changsheng carefully wiping the sweat on Gu Xiaomei's face, and his nose suddenly became sore.
This sister of his, who has never had a good life in her life, is now coming, and she has to plan for her children and grandchildren, how pitiful?
But the person who will pity her is long gone, and only herself is her dependence. Little sister, don't worry, no matter what, I will stand behind you.
Since that day, Gu Xiaomei's body has deteriorated, and even if Old Gu Tou gave her a lot of decoction to drink, there was still no sign of improvement.
The old doctor said that when it came to Gu Xiaomei, she was just staying up. Rather than living such a difficult life and living in the torment of physical pain every day, it is better to go early and die a good life. Originally, Lao Gu Tou was very reluctant to hear the conclusion of the old doctor, and he still wanted his little sister to live for a long time. But now looking at Gu Xiaomei's difficulty even breathing, Lao Gu Tou thought again, it is better to let her be free, because Lao Gu Tou is distressed! This is his only sister, how can he bear to make her even the last days so uncomfortable?
However, if he was asked to persuade Gu Xiaomei to leave, he couldn't do it, because he was still Gu Xiaomei's brother.
Just like at this moment, Old Gu Tou sat on the side, listening to the sound of difficult breathing like a windmill in Gu Xiaomei's chest, and his heart was like a cat, scratching constantly.
With a "squeak", Changsheng pushed the door in from the outside, holding a bowl of black decoction in his hand. These days, Gu Xiaomei can't even drink porridge, she drinks more medicine than she eats, and there is a bitter smell of medicine lingering everywhere in the house.
