Seeing Wang Xiulian's lost soul in her eyes, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, so she could only pat her shoulder to show relief.

I sighed secretly in my heart.

Turn around and go out.

As the village chief's daughter-in-law climbed a section of the slope, she walked to the village chief's house.

Li is sitting under the eaves of his house, holding a cup of tea in his hand, which should be a leisurely tea tasting, but there is a gloomy cloud on his face that cannot be dissolved.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao coming to the door, Li Zheng stood up, "Where's that bastard boy in my family?" Didn't come with you? ”

"My master was infected with the wind and cold, and my brother was tripped and couldn't leave."

Rizheng paused.

"When? That kid didn't say anything to me. ”

"Found it early this morning. Thinking too much led to poor rest, and the temperature plummeted at night, so I fell ill if I didn't pay attention. ”

Hearing this, Li Zheng sighed.

"I see...... The village chief is inside, and I'll go in with you. ”

Anyway, Lees is leading the way.

Gu Xiaoxiao followed behind and walked into the inner room.

The windows in the house are closed, airtight, and the vision is dark.

The smell of the elderly, the bedding that has only been washed once for a long time due to lack of water, ferments in a warm and humid environment, and the smell inside is so bad that it goes straight to the heavenly spirit cover.

She frowned.

"Open the window."

The village chief's daughter-in-law was a little reluctant, "Recently, the weather has become cold, and the old man of my family is already uncomfortable. ”

Ignorance can really harm people, Gu Xiaoxiao tried her best to explain patiently: "A closed room with poor air circulation will not do any good to the village chief's body. ”

"During the day, you can properly open the windows for ventilation, and close the windows when it is cold at night, so you don't have to close them all day and night."

Staying in a dimly lit room for a long time will make normal people feel sick, not to mention the already sick people in the village chief.

As soon as she heard that it was related to her man's body, the village chief's daughter-in-law immediately said: "Then, then I will be open, all open." ”

So saying, she went and opened all the windows.

The light shines into every corner of the room, and the room is brightened up instantly, and the fresh air enters, and the breathing is much easier.

Sitting next to the bed, Gu Xiaoxiao bent down and shouted softly:

"Village Chief."

The village chief woke up faintly, his eyelids seemed to be half-open, his tone was soft and weak, and his breath was so weak that it seemed that he might run out of breath at any time.

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, are you here......"

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, this situation is not very optimistic.

"I'll take your pulse, can you sit up?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The village chief coughed and wanted to sit up, but he couldn't exert his strength, so he could only sit up reluctantly with the help of Li Zheng, leaning on Li Zheng's chest, he smiled apologetically, "I'm causing you trouble, my body is getting worse and worse, and I don't know how long I can last ......."

Li Zheng's hands held him in his arms, and he frowned unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about, it's just a minor illness and a small pain, just cure it." ”

When the village chief heard this, he only smiled.

The topic was too heavy, and Gu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to pick it up.

Seeing his CP and making such an intimate action, he was not interested in knocking at all.

She said dryly, "I'll give you a pulse first." ”

The dry hand was removed from the quilt, and the village chief pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Don't worry too much about the real situation after taking the pulse, just tell me directly." ”

Gu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and nodded.

It was true that she was too worried about it half a month ago, so she tried to hide it.

The village chief would say this, most likely because he had also heard what the master said.

A little pulse diagnosis.

She put that hand in the futon again.

looked into the eyes of the village chief, and before he opened his mouth, the other party said: "Just tell the truth, there is no need to hide from me, an old man." ”

Gu Xiaoxiao licked her lips that were a little dry.

"Truth be told, your condition has deteriorated. Originally, he could have lived for a few years, but now that he looks at it, it is a problem to even survive this winter. ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene was instantly quiet.

Needle drops can be heard.

When he heard that his time was running out, the village was stunned for a long time.

His expression was stunned for a moment, then a little stunned, and then gradually turned into relief, he smiled and shook his head, "It's good to be able to live for so long, it's good......"

After a while, the village chief's daughter-in-law found her voice, her eyes blank, and she asked, "How can this be .......?"

Li Zheng frowned, "Isn't there a cure?" ”

Gu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment.

"You can hang it with precious medicinal herbs."

It was the most conservative advice she could think of.

The most serious injuries to the village chief were the thoracic vertebrae, the first thoracic vertebra was injured, the most common cough, dyspnea, hand and forearm pain, pain in the back of the upper arm, pain in the scapula, left upper chest pain, esophageal swelling and pain, finger joint pain, etc.

Some places hurt, and patience passes.

But if it hurts everywhere, it's not uncommon for people to die of pain.

What's more, the village chief has an old wound on his back.

There are also serious old problems in the spine.

Rizheng was silent.

Now the big guy in the village even has a problem with food and clothing, and his family's situation is not much better, and he lives on the little silver allocated by the imperial court every month.

Now that grain is getting more and more expensive, bits and pieces of silver can't buy much at all, and a pot of rice paste has to be mixed with a small half of the soil to barely enough for his whole family to barely eat five cents.

Now he has all the belongings in his body out, and it is difficult to buy an ordinary medicinal material, let alone nominate an expensive medicinal material......

He pursed his lips and asked, "Is there any other way besides this?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The village chief's daughter-in-law seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and pleaded sincerely: "Lin Zhao, if you think of other ways, there must be other ways, this precious medicinal herb...... My family really doesn't have any money, so I can't afford to spend this effort. ”

As he spoke, two lines of turbid tears rolled down from the eyes of the village chief's daughter-in-law, and her face was full of helplessness, "My old man just celebrated his sixtieth birthday a few days ago, and he hasn't even enjoyed the blessing for a few days, so he shouldn't have left in such a hurry......"

Li Zheng also turned sideways and bowed to Gu Xiaoxiao.

Silent pleas.

Gu Xiaoxiao stepped aside without a trace, and was about to speak, but the village chief said, "You guys, cough, cough...... You are enough, don't embarrass your nephew and daughter-in-law, I know my own body, and it is not a gentleman's work to be difficult for a strong man. ”

When the words fell, Li Zheng and the village chief's daughter-in-law were all stunned.

After a while, Li Zheng raised his head, and the village chief's daughter-in-law bit her lower lip tightly, and the corners of her mouth overflowed with whimpering.

His eyes were suddenly a little sour, and Gu Xiaoxiao rubbed them, "Village Chief, do you want to gamble?" ”

The village chief smiled weakly and waved his withered hand, "I'm not a good gambler, and I can't gamble, so let's leave it at that...... It's good to leave peacefully. ”

Gu Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes, her lips moved slightly: "If you win this bet, it will not be a problem for you to live for an extra year or two." If you lose the bet, you will be partially paralyzed, and in more serious cases, you may ...... on the spot."

She didn't say anything about the rest of the story.

But she believed that all three people present would understand.

Speaking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao no longer concealed it: "This matter should be made sooner rather than later, and the earlier the decision is made, the success rate will be greater." ”

In fact, to be honest, she is not sure.

In doing so, she also took a big risk.
