Chapter 199: Sacrificing Yourself to Save Others
Besides, after Li Chunfeng and Huineng's mother and son said goodbye in Longshan, they returned to Beijing by the ancient post road of Tianlu Mountain Camellia Horse, and on the way they were attracted by the unique natural scenery and scenic spots of Tianlu Mountain......
The sun and the moon are reincarnated, the years are long, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond in front of Xiao Huineng's house, the flowers bloom and fall, and Xiao Huineng gradually grows with the passage of time.
In the golden autumn of October, after the rice in the field was harvested, the Li family was busy weaving at home these days.
It was almost nine o'clock in the morning, and after Li saw that Huineng had finished the homework his father had taught him in front of the house, he said to Huineng who was outside the door, "Neng'er, after finishing your homework, let's go to the field and pick some vegetables and come back." ”
"Okay, A-Niang." Huineng packed up her books and went to pick vegetables. ”
Who knows, Huineng walked to the edge of the village and was attracted by the yellow rape flowers blooming on both sides of the river, and he forgot to go to the field to pick vegetables for a while.
Huineng walked along the rape flowers on both sides of the river, and unconsciously walked to Houliang Village in another village, and saw several village girls washing clothes by the river. A little girl hummed a mountain song softly while helping to dry her clothes.
Huineng walked to the bank of the river and washed his face with a handful of water.
The little girl who sings hums a little song and hangs her clothes on the lawn of the river beach.
Little girl walking barefoot on the lawn...... Suddenly, I heard her scream and fell to the ground with a bang.
A venomous snake disappeared into the grass.
The little girl was left with two deep, jet-black tooth marks on her ankles.
Another village girl, who was washing clothes by the river, hurriedly ran to her.
Huineng, who was washing his face by the river, hesitated slightly, and also waded through the river and ran towards this side.
The village girl arrived first and asked the little girl who fell to the ground: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
The little girl who fell to the ground was named Li Lan, who was close to a coma, unable to speak, but pointed in the direction of her feet.
That village girl was Li Lan's fourth sister Li Xiang, looked at her little sister's ankles, and exclaimed, "Oh my God! Xiaolan was bitten by a poisonous snake! ”
At this time, Huineng also arrived. After he introduced himself, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, tied Xiaolan's feet and neck tightly, and said to Li Xiang: "Quick, help her up, carry her to find Langzhong." ”
A village girl dressed in green said, "There is no Langzhong in my village. ”
Huineng said: "Tulangzhong is also fine." Where is the Tulang who sees snake wounds? ”
The village girl pointed to a big mountain in the distance and said, "Over that mountain, there is an old man who collects medicine, and I heard that he is very good at curing snake wounds." ”
Another village girl said, "I'm afraid it's too late." This is a seven-step snake bite, and within half an hour, the poisonous gas will spread to the whole body, and if the poisonous gas attacks the heart, it will ......"
When Li Xiang heard this, she hugged Xiaolan and cried again, "Then, isn't my sister hopeless?" ”
Li Xiang hugged Xiaolan and cried.
Xiaolan's snake-bitten foot was already swollen, and the dark blue poisonous color was spreading from the wound to all sides.
Huineng turned around, ran to the thorn bush by the river, broke a sharp thorn, cut a cross in her wound, and without hesitation, lay down and took drugs with her mouth......
One bite, two bites, three bites...... Xiaolan's feet also slowly turned white from bruises, while Huineng was stained with snake venom, her mouth and tongue were swollen, and her face was dull.
Huineng found that the blood juice sucked out was already bright red, and Xiaolan began to make a sound.
Huineng was about to smile at the anxious Li Xiang to show that the poisoned Xiaolan was fine. But before he could laugh, he fell to the ground and fainted......
Several village girls present shouted eagerly: "Huineng, Huineng, what's wrong with you?" Wake up! ”
No matter how they shouted and shook, Huineng didn't respond, as if they were dead......
Several young people in Houliang Village rushed to hear the news, and one of them went to invite Lang Zhong outside the village, and the others took turns carrying Huineng back to Li Xiang's house.
Lang Zhong, who arrived in time, took Huineng's pulse, saying that it didn't matter, after all, it was indirect poisoning, and it would be fine if he took the medicine.
However, after a long time, Huineng was still unconscious, unconscious like a dead man.
Xiaolan had recovered, and she sat on the edge of Huineng's bed, weeping as she wiped his swollen black and purple lips.
Xiaolan's father, Li Xueru, was originally a rather personable gentleman, but at this time he was pacing back and forth restlessly.
He said to himself: "How is this good, it's been a long time, and after pouring so many medicines, why doesn't it work?" ”
Xiaolan burst into tears.
Li Xueru said: "He is a great benefactor of our family, if he dies to save our Xiaolan, how can he be worthy of others......"
Xiaolan cried out loud "wow". She ran to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva hanging in the hall, and saw A-Niang kowtowing and kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, praying loudly in her mouth.
Xiaolan also followed A-Niang, kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, clasping her hands, kowtowing, and praying sincerely......
In the murmuring of prayers from Xiaolan and her mother, Chen, one of Huineng's little fingers moved slightly, and her eyelids twitched to open them.
Li Xueru was overjoyed and shouted: "Thank God, the benefactor is awake!" Finally woke up! Huineng, Huineng! ”
Huineng's eyes opened a slit slightly, and he sighed "sigh".
Xiaolan chanted "Amitabha", and bowed down in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
……
Seeing that his health was fine, Hui Neng got up to say goodbye and wanted to go home. But because I hadn't eaten for a day, as soon as I stood up, I felt a little dizzy, and I couldn't stand up after shaking a few times.
Li Xueru hurriedly held Huineng and asked, "Huineng, where do you live?" Your father's name? ”
Huineng said: "My family is in Xialu Village, and my father's name is Lu Xingyao, who is no longer alive. ”
"Oh, it turns out that Lord Lu is your father, I really didn't see it, we are just across the river! It's not far from your house, you haven't recovered yet, sit down first, and I'll ask your aunt to pick up your mother. ”
Li Lan and her mother were making supper in the kitchen, and when she heard that the boy who saved the little girl was the son of Lord Lu of the quarantine village, she put down what she was doing, and her eyes stayed on Huineng for a long time, staring at the little boy sitting on the chair.
For a long time, Chen was like an old woman, and kept muttering: "Really...... Really...... Like Lord Lu......"
After a long time, Xiaolan and her mother asked, "Is your mother doing well?" When you were born, your mother visited your mother! I remember that you are two years older than Xiaolan, and you should be eight years old this year, right? ”
Huineng nodded and said, "My mother has such a good memory, my mother will be eight years old when she says August." ”
"You see, I'm really ignorant, I forgot to call your mother......" Chen hurried to Xialu Village before he finished speaking.
When Xiaolan and her mother came to Huineng's house, she saw Li kneeling in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the hall, offering incense and praying that Huineng was safe and came back soon.
Seeing this, Xiaolan's mother couldn't help choking in her throat, and said in a lost voice: "Sister-in-law Lu, what about Huineng in my house......"
Li asked Huineng to go to the field to pick vegetables, and buried himself in weaving at home all day, bent on weaving more cloth and selling it in the market, saving a few more money for Huineng to go to school. Who knew that Hui Neng was gone for most of the day and didn't come back.
At first, Li thought that children were playful, so they didn't pay attention to it. But when the sun was about to set, Huineng didn't come back, so I started to be anxious, put down the work in my hand, and went out to find Huineng.
As soon as Li arrived at the field, there was no trace of Huineng, and he was anxious to call Huineng loudly, but it was too late to see the ridge clearly, so he stepped on the air and fell into the paddy field, spraining his foot.
Li limped home, wanting to change his clothes and go out to look for it, but his feet did not obey the call, and his sprained feet were swollen and painful, and he was unable to move.
Fortunately, Li's father Li Xianghe is a famous Langzhong who is dozens of miles away, and before he got married, he learned a medical skill with his father, and the family has some Chinese herbal medicines that are not used in a hurry when they are free.
Li endured the pain, found a few raw herbs for bruises and sprains, kneeled in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva who saved the suffering, prayed, opened the door, and waited for his son's return......
Li suddenly heard Xiaolan's mother's voice in a daze, "Sister-in-law Lu, where is Huineng in my house......" It was really like seeing the light in the dark night, and seeing hope in despair, and hurriedly invited Xiaolan and her mother into the house.
After Xiaolan's mother explained her intentions, she helped Li to see Huineng.
