It was summer, and before noon, the fiery red sun was already high in the sky, raging everything on the earth, and the ground evaporated with bursts of heat.

This is a rural village, an old locust tree at the head of the village pulls sparse leaves, like a weak old man lonely guarding the entrance of the village, a thin old black dog with bulging ribs lazily lying under the root of the tree, his tongue sticking out to the old elder, desperately panting.

In a courtyard not far from the entrance of the village, a low cursing voice came from the upper room:

“…… If you want to die, you don't die soon, and you always hang on to the fairy breath! Little slut, it's not wrong to say that she is a plague god, and if she is young, she will hurt people and tired her family! The old lady sent her to Li's mansion without wind and rain, without worrying about eating and drinking, and she had tuberculosis and was ...... cheap."

"Yes, mother, listening to her cough day and night all day is annoying! It's been four days since the Li Mansion was sent back, and it's been a long time! Why don't you just let the Ye family throw her out?" A young voice answered.

"That's not to be thrown away! Mother has her own plans. ”

"But didn't Lao Langzhong conclude that she was not saved, and it would cost a lot of funeral expenses to keep it!"

"Baofeng, you are the eldest girl who has not yet left the cabinet, remember that you don't need to worry about this kind of thing in the future, my mother naturally knows it."

The young woman's voice whispered, and the conversation between the two turned to other trivial matters, and there was a sudden conversation and laughter in the room.

On a dilapidated wooden bed in the ear room of the west wing, there was a little girl, so thin that she had no human shape, only skin wrapped in bones. The little girl kept coughing dryly, her belly heaved violently, and her mouth opened and closed with difficulty, like a fish starved of oxygen in a polar fish pond.

Sunlight shone in through the small wooden window and fell on the girl slightly. She could feel that it was close to noon, and that it should have been extremely hot in the middle of summer, but what she felt in her body was extremely cold. She trembled and stretched out her hand to the sun, wanting to feel the warmth of the sun. It was a small, thin hand, with green tendons protruding and bones bulging high, as if they were about to pierce through the thin layer of skin at any moment.

Ahem – ahem......

The slight movement triggered a violent cough, and the girl's little hand was just halfway stretched and hung down weakly. She obviously had a lot of phlegm in her throat, and she desperately wanted to spit it out, but she found that she had lost the slightest strength, and her head seemed to weigh a thousand pounds at this time, and her neck couldn't lift it.

It looked like he was going to die.

At this moment, the girl's face turned from pain to despair, and then to serenity, and the only remaining light in her eyes was slowly fading......

At this time, three figures outside the door touched lightly and touched in. One big and two small, the first two small ones are thin boys with similar faces, and they know that the two are twins. The adult in the back was a tall middle-aged woman with a haggard face, holding a bowl in her hand, she stepped forward to help the little girl on the bed, and whispered heartbrokenly: "Girl, this is the rice soup that my mother begged for, you drink it while it's hot, Grandma Zhou said that this is a good thing, and the girl is guaranteed to get better after drinking it." ”

The little girl in the woman's arms pulled her head, her face was blue, the corners of her mouth were closed, and she seemed to be out of breath. The woman realized something and panicked.

"Good girl, wake up! Don't scare your mother! ”

"My hard-working daughter, don't leave your mother!"

"Woo, girl, are you okay to wake up, mother, please!"

"Woo."

……

The two little boys understood what this meant, and began to cry in a low voice, calling out to their sister to wake up.

"A thousand cuts! You of the third family are hiding back and lying on the corpse! Everyone is busy working in the field, and you damn woman will be lazy! Why don't you go cook quickly, do you want the whole house to starve to death and bury that little slut?"

"Ignoring a large family, where did you come from this slut! If it hadn't been for the old lady who bought you back then, your Ye family would have starved to death a long time ago! If you can't get out of lunch for a while, see if the old lady doesn't kill you! ”

An old woman chattered and cursed outside the house.

The woman in the house couldn't help but look frightened when she heard the voice, and turned to hug her daughter and cry sadly: "My fifth girl, poor girl, you are so cruel to leave your mother a ......."

"What a bad luck! The lone star who loses money and is a small person who is a relative, dies early and is born early, so that the family can be at peace! What are you howling, don't you hurry up and get cooked! Old man, they have an empty stomach, how long will they be busy with the work in the field! ”

When the woman heard the woman's cry, she immediately began to scold, her tone angry but joyful.

Hmph, this time it's finally dead, and the money will be available tonight!

"Death is death, this is a matter of time or time, didn't Lao Langzhong have already decided. What else do you have to howl, in case it breaks the feng shui of the Chu family, the old lady will not follow! Just do what you have to do, the aftermath of that cheap girl will be handled by the old lady later. Ye, don't you hurry up and get busy, be careful that the old lady picks your skin for a while! ”

The middle-aged woman in the house cried loudly and hugged her daughter tightly.

"Mother, the fifth sister is awake! The fifth sister is not dead! The fifth sister is not dead yet! ”

"Yes, mother, I also saw it, the fifth sister's hand was moving just now!"

Two small voices cried out in ecstasy, but desperately suppressed their voices.

When the woman saw that the little girl in her arms was indeed half-open, she was so happy that she hurriedly poured the rice soup from the bowl into her mouth.

Chu calmly felt that he had a long, long dream, in a trance, he felt that his mouth was dry, his stomach was tearing and painful, and the taste of drunkenness was really uncomfortable!

In a trance, someone was gently shaking themselves, accompanied by the voices of two little boys. She tried to open her eyes, but there was confusion in front of her. At this time, a warm current runs from the mouth to the stomach, which is extremely moisturizing. She subconsciously smacked her lips, and there was a sweet smell of rice. I was trying to get up to see what was going on, but I coughed violently, and then I lost consciousness in a whirlwind!

The middle-aged woman saw that her daughter had just drunk a few mouthfuls of rice soup and passed out, and she was suddenly frightened and panicked, and cried bitterly. The little boy on the side was clever, put his finger on the girl's nose and felt it, and then comforted the middle-aged woman.

"Mother, don't cry, the fifth sister is fine, there are me and Qilang guarding it. Hurry up and cook, otherwise the milk will curse again after a while! ”

The middle-aged woman nodded and wiped away her tears, whispered to her two sons, and ran out in a panic, to her surprise, she didn't see her mother-in-law.

Unbeknownst to her, when the old woman heard another cough coming from the house, she scolded and walked back into the house.

I don't know how long it took, Chu calmly woke up again in a daze. Two little boys beside the bed, like copy and paste, were looking at themselves with four eyes delighted.

Low mud rooms, old wooden beds, musty air, little boys in weird costumes...... All reveal an unusual atmosphere. But she didn't think much about it, because her brain was dizzy as soon as she started, and she didn't know if it was hypoxia or ischemia.

"Fifth sister is awake, drink rice soup quickly!" A boy carefully held half a bowl of rice soup to her lips.

"I'll tell my mother!"

Another child wanted to rush out, but was stopped by his brother: "Shichiro don't go!" ”

Shichiro looked at his brother puzzled.

"It's useless for you to call your mother now, and your grandmother has always refused to pay for Langzhong. Why don't we go directly to Lao Langzhong and help the fifth sister see a doctor and grab medicine. The money for the medicine was owed first, and then the two of us went to the town to beg for money to pay it back, or we would go to help him work every day to pay off the debt. ”

Shichiro nodded, glanced at the fifth sister on the bed and ran out.

"Fifth sister, I'm my elder brother Liulang, and he's my younger brother Qilang." The little boy saw the confusion in Chu Congrong's eyes, and he must not be able to tell which of the two was older and which was smaller.

Chu Congrong was confused more than this, but she didn't have any strength to explain, and obediently took a small sip of rice soup. The originally hot and stinging throat was moistened, and it felt much better.

After a while, the middle-aged woman rushed in when she heard her daughter's cough, and was very relieved to see the scene in front of her, and tears suddenly welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"Girl, you have a good rest, if you have something, call Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, and my mother will go to get busy first." The middle-aged woman wiped her tears and turned around and ran out.

Soon, Shichiro led an old man in his fifties back, a little out of breath.

"Little Liu, the old man said a long time ago that the old man's medical skills alone can't cure your sister, you don't believe it, you have to come to the old man!" The old man was panting, blowing so much that a wisp of long whiskers on his mouth shook up and down, I don't know if he was tired or angry.

"Grandpa Langzhong, you can help my sister take a look, in the future, Xiao Qi and I will think of your goodness and help you work every day!" Rokuro immediately kowtowed to Lao Langzhong, and Shichiro also knelt down when he saw this.

"You two clever ghosts, it's not that I won't cure it. The doctor in Li's rich family also said that Wuya's illness is indeed not legal, so why do you spend more money in vain?"

Lao Langzhong looked quite helpless, and although he was unhappy in his mouth, he still took her hand and took the pulse. His eyes closed slightly for a moment, and he shook his head slightly.

The little girl in front of her is much more serious than three days ago, and it is estimated that she is about to run out of oil and run out of lights.

"I-am-what-sick? Ahem—"

Chu calmly opened his mouth and exerted his strength desperately, and finally squeezed out the sound from his mouth, his voice was hoarse and low, but the other party should be able to hear it clearly.

"Tuberculosis caused by wind chill!" The old man was stunned for a moment and replied casually.

Wind chill is a cold, tuberculosis is not tuberculosis?

Chu calmly and mechanically asked, "Transmission—no—transmission—people?" Ahem—"

The old man shook his head.

If you don't have to be infected, you don't have to worry about tuberculosis, but I hope it's pneumonitis caused by a cold.

"Ephedra - yellow, apricot - kernel, lian-forsythia."

Chu calmly struggled to say a few flavors of medicine, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became, a dying little girl could actually prescribe medicine?

"Where's the dose?" The old man asked suspiciously.

Chu Congrong had exhausted all his strength at this time, clenched his teeth, closed his eyes and lay down.

The reason why she remembers this recipe is also due to the fact that she had pneumonitis when she was a child, and she was cured by the old Chinese medicine practitioner with it. When she grew up and encountered the unprecedented "Xin-Guan" abuse, she deliberately rummaged through it when she had nothing to do, so she remembered the names of the drugs inside, but the specific dosage was not elaborate. After all, I didn't study medicine.

Lao Langzhong has been practicing medicine for more than 30 years and has experienced countless diseases, but it is the first time he has encountered this kind of illness to prescribe medicine to himself, but after thinking that these medicines are not toxic, and there is no obvious pharmacological restraint, he gave her three doses of medicine based on experience.

Anyway, a dead horse should be a live horse, and he has declared in advance that he will not be cured, and he can't blame himself if the little girl dies.

The two brothers were very happy, in their eyes, as long as the fifth sister had medicine to drink, the illness would soon get better, so Qilang excitedly followed Lao Langzhong to get the medicine.

When Rokuro went to the kitchen to put the dishes, he saw that the middle-aged woman was very busy, so he whispered a few words in her ear, and the middle-aged woman was surprised and delighted, and nodded again and again.

"Good son, you don't need to go to the town to beg for money, when your father, fourth uncle and San Lang come back, the money will be returned! When the medicine comes back, you and Shichiro will boil it in the back room and feed her to drink. ”

Chu calmly lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his mind was confused, and he couldn't help coughing. From time to time, I couldn't help coughing, which caused soreness all over my body, like pins and needles. I don't know when the person went to consciousness again.

Until they were woken up by a familiar smell of medicine, the two little ones stood in front of the bed with a bowl of black medicinal juice, and the bowl emitted heat.

The two little ones looked at her with a smile on their faces.
