Chapter 18: A Sad Past
In the middle of the night, the mystery of "little ghosts crying" on the opposite side of Fengshan Village and Longtan was solved by Zhang Shaofei on the spot.
Village Chief Wang was relieved to put down the big stone that "his son was haunted by ghosts" that was pressing on his heart.
Zhang Shaofei was inspired by the baby fish and thought: Why not use this method to cure the illness of the son of the village chief Wang?
So, he said tentatively: "Village Chief Wang, I have a prescription that may cure your son's illness once and for all." ”
Village Chief Wang asked in surprise: "Ah Fei, what is the good prescription, tell me quickly!" ”
"Take bird's nest as the main medicine, and use chicken blood vine as the medicine." Zhang Shaofei looked at Village Chief Wang and said seriously.
Village Chief Wang groaned: "Chicken blood vine...... Where can I find the blood vine? ”
Zhang Shaofei raised his hand, pointed to the halfway point of Fengshan, and said, "Village Chief Wang, don't worry, I once went to the cliff over there to collect medicine, and saw that there were chicken blood vines growing on the cliff. ”
Village Chief Wang looked up at the night sky and muttered, "It's still the second half of the night......"
Zhang Shaofei asked: "Village Chief Wang, do you think this is good, tomorrow we will go our separate ways, I will go to the cliffs in the mountains to pick chicken blood vines, and you send someone to the county seat of Xinzhou to buy bird's nest." ”
Village Chief Wang happily: "Good! ”
……
Early the next morning, Zhang Shaofei had breakfast and said to Le Jinghui: "Uncle Hui, I went up the mountain to pick chicken blood vines to treat Wang Jinfa today, and I won't come back for dinner." ”
Hearing Zhang Shaofei say this, Le Zhihua hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "I'll go with you, and by the way, I'll visit Brother Afa." ”
Zhang Shaofei saw that she was frightened at Village Chief Wang's house yesterday, and originally wanted to persuade her to take care of her spirit at home, and planned to go with Le Zhicheng and Le Zhidan. How could Le Zhihua insist on going as if he had changed into another person, and arranged the work of Le Zhicheng and Le Zhidan in the tone of our sister.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Le Zhihua's return last night and this morning's abnormal behavior, how can Shi Jinying, as a mother, not know? "Ah Fei, just let the eldest sister go with you." Shi Jinying said empathetically.
"Okay then." After Zhang Shaofei finished speaking, he carried the bamboo basket on his back and went out with Le Zhihua.
The red sun is sinking in the west, and the sunset has smeared Tianlu Mountain with a layer of blood-red blurred color.
Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua searched for most of the mountain for a long time, and finally picked chicken blood vines and came to Village Chief Wang's house in the afterglow of the sunset.
As soon as Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua entered the door, Village Chief Wang stretched his neck and asked, "Ah Fei, Ah Hua, have you picked the chicken blood vine?" ”
"Got it." Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua said in unison, Zhang Shaofei took out the handful of chicken blood vine he had just picked from the bamboo basket on Le Zhihua's back, and raised it in front of Village Chief Wang, "Look, is the juice it flowing out very much like chicken blood?" ”
Le Zhihua put down the bamboo basket on his back and ran into the house to visit Wang Jinfa.
Against the backdrop of the sunset, the bright red juice flowing from the severed cane stems is very eye-catching.
"Village Chief Wang, this is a special medicine to heal your precious son!" Zhang Shaofei handed over the chicken blood vine and said with infinite cherishment.
Village Chief Wang took the chicken blood vine and stroked it lovingly, and two lines of tears flowed from those old eyes.
Zhang Shaofei asked, "Village Chief Wang, did you go to the county seat today to buy bird's nest?" ”
"No," Village Chief Wang shook his head in frustration, "Today I led people to run in the county seat and my legs were about to break, and I still can't buy bird's nest." ”
Early this morning, Village Chief Wang got up early in the morning, walked a hundred miles of mountain road with his servants full of hope, came to the county seat of Xinzhou, walked all over the streets and alleys of Yuncheng, and looked for pharmacies and pharmacies everywhere, but could not buy bird's nest.
Among them, Kang Yannian, the owner of Kangnian Pharmacy, is a friend of Village Chief Wang who has known each other for many years, and he told Village Chief Wang: "Old man, even in Guangzhou Pharmacy hundreds of miles away, there is no such thing as bird's nest, and it is difficult to find it." ”
Village Chief Wang said sadly: "Alas, although Ah Fei found me the medicine of chicken blood vine, but without bird's nest as the main medicine, my son's illness still can't be cured!" ”
Seeing Village Chief Wang sighing like this, Kang Yannian looked at Village Chief Wang with concern and asked, "Why do you have to buy this rare bird's nest?" ”
When the village chief Wang asked, he said: "His son Wang Jinfa suffered from a bizarre disease two years ago, and a few days ago he heard that a little miracle doctor A Fei came to Lejiazhai, so he went to invite him to his home to treat my son. If I want to cure my son's anemia, I need to use bird's nest as the main medicine. ”
After Kang Yannian listened to Village Chief Wang's narration, pity arose.
Village Chief Wang sighed to the sky: "It seems that I did something harmful to heaven and reason in my last life, and God wants me to be the last." ”
Kang Yannian hurriedly comforted him: "Old man, don't be so sad, there will always be a solution to things in the world." Let's all figure it out. ”
……
After having dinner at Village Chief Wang's house, Zhang Shaofei and Le Zhihua left Fengshan Village and returned to Lejiazhai Lejia.
After Zhang Shaofei greeted the people of Lejia at the ceremony, he did not chat with them in the hall as usual, but walked out of the hall in a muffled voice, sitting on the wooden pier in the courtyard in a daze.
Le Zhihua is still angry with Zhang Shaofei. But after all, he is the benefactor of her and her mother-in-law and third sister, she saw Zhang Shaofei walking out of the hall listlessly, pity welled up in her heart, came out with a cup of hot tea, and said: "Brother Fei, don't be hurt by the bird's nest, let's drink tea first." ”
Zhang Shaofei took the cup of hot tea, took a sip, looked at Le Zhihua blankly and said, "Ah...... Hua Mei, I'm ...... It's okay. ”
"Do you feel tired after a day of walking in the mountains?" Le Zhihua looked at him with concern and said.
"Yes, not only do I feel tired, but my mind is even more tired." Zhang Shaofei said sadly, "Ah, eldest sister, when did you start caring about people......
"I've always cared about you, okay?" Le Zhihua could hear what he was saying.
Zhang Shaofei saw that there were only two of them in the compound, so he told him why she was so cold to him recently and so enthusiastic about Wang Jinfa.
"Then let me ask you, why did you sit idly by and ignore the dead horse that bullied me that day?" When Le Zhihua asked, the anger that had subsided came up again.
"I ...... At that time, I saw that you were having so much fun, and it reminded me of my son selling martial arts and horses on the street. ”
"Oh, that's why you didn't save me?" Le Zhihua asked Zhang Shaofei angrily.
"No, Sister Ahua, you only punished me after listening to me, okay?" Zhang Shaofei looked at it aggrievedly and said.
"Then tell me about it." Le Zhihua saw that he seemed to be full of worries, and his tone was much calmer, and his big black and beautiful eyes looked at him with autumn water.
"Alas-" Zhang Shaofei sighed, and told Le Zhihua the reason like a cry:
It turned out that when Xiao Shaofei came home from shopping that day, he learned that his father Zhang Jinchao was sued by Master Zhang, and the emperor listened to the slander, dismissed his father Shang Shuling from his official position, and was sent back to his hometown, and his grandmother died of anger on the spot......
After returning to their hometown of Taizhen Village, Qiu County, Handan, with the help of their neighbors, Zhang Jinchao and his wife Ren Shaoxiang finished sorting out their mother's funeral, and the couple worked hard to raise Xiao Shaofei.
After surviving day after day, month after month, and finally survived two spring and autumn seasons, looking forward to Xiao Shaofei being six years old, seeing that Xiao Shaofei was strong and healthy, the couple put down a heart.
Zhang Jinchao was happy to see his son grow up.
However, being wronged, depressed, and depressed for a long time made him exhausted, riddled with various diseases, and gradually felt that his body was difficult to support.
Wang Shaoxiang was busy inviting Lang Zhong for him to treat with medicine.
