Seeing that Lu Yingchun had calmed down, Lu Zhengan got up and looked at Song Huaishu on the side. "I'll go to the town to see how Uncle Changgen is doing, and you can help me bring it to the Spring Festival at home."

Song Huaishu also knew that the matter was very important, and solemnly nodded to Lu Zhengan.

"Go quickly, I'll take a look at the house. Bring the money with you, just in case you can use it. ”

Lu Zheng'an naturally knew what Song Huaishu meant, so he replied and returned to the house, carrying the 20 taels of silver tickets that Ji Yuexian had bought for dried peaches in his arms, and then hurried down the mountain.

……

Listening to Song Yingchun, Lu Changgen shed a lot of blood. I guessed that when they got to town, they wouldn't have gone to look for a pharmacy too far away.

Sure enough, when Lu Zhengan had just entered the town and was in a pharmacy closest to the entrance of the town, he finally found Lu Changgen sitting on a stool inside.

Lu Zhengan stood at the door and glanced at Lu Ming and Lu Zhengping, who were accompanying him, his eyes sank, and then he raised his feet and walked towards a few people.

"Uncle Changgen, how did you get this? The girl in Yingchun said that you were injured, and you couldn't speak clearly when you cried. ”

Lu Changgen was injured in the shoulder, and at this moment he was naked, and the doctor gave him medicine.

At this moment, Lu Changgen's shoulders were covered with blood, and Lu Zhengan couldn't judge whether his injuries were serious or not. However, the powder that the doctor had just sprinkled was washed away by the blood that had spilled from the wound, and the wound was obviously not light.

I don't know if it hurts or is bleeding too much, Lu Changgen's face is already a little pale. Seeing Lu Zheng'an's calm face looking at him with concern, Lu Changgen smiled at him slightly and comforted: "It's just accidental, the girl in Yingchun made a fuss, and she went to the mountains to work for you." ”

Lu Zhengan saw that Lu Changgen was obviously helping Lu Ming and Lu Zhengping, father and son, to whitewash Taiping, and although he was a little angry in his heart, he couldn't say anything.

Seeing that the wound could not stop bleeding, Lu Zhengan could not help but be a little worried, looked up at the doctor, and asked, "Doctor, is the wound important?" ”

Hearing this, the doctor frowned and glanced at Lu Zhengan, "If it goes a little deeper, it will touch the bones, do you say it matters?" It's good, how can you still move the knife. ”

The doctor said as he wiped the blood from the wound with a clean cloth towel.

At the moment when the wound was wiped clean by the doctor, Lu Zhengan saw clearly the wound on Lu Changgen's shoulder, the skin and flesh turned out, and the wound was seven or eight inches long.

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but gasp, and immediately asked the doctor: "Doctor, there are so many wounds, do you need stitches?" ”

When the doctor heard Lu Zheng'an say that he wanted the wound to be stitched, he couldn't help but look up at him, and his brows also stretched a little. "Such a big wound naturally needs to be stitched up, and the numb boiling has not yet been cooked, and we have to wait for a while."

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, a young man who looked like an apprentice walked in with a bowl of bitter soup that was still steaming.

"Master, the medicine is here."

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan stepped forward to take the medicine bowl from the apprentice's hand and sent it to Lu Changgen. "Uncle Changgen, drink the medicine."

Lu Changgen was a bloody man who had been on the battlefield, so he took the medicine in his hand, took a sip and tested the temperature, then raised his head and drank it all.

Everyone waited with bated breath for a moment, and after the effect of the boiling medicine came up, the doctor began to take a special needle and thread to suture Lu Changgen's wound.

Because the wound on Lu Changgen's shoulder was too long, it took the doctor nearly two quarters of an hour to complete the stitching. By this time, the doctor was already sweating profusely, and his hands holding the silver needles began to tremble slightly.

Lu Zhengan saw that the beads of sweat on the doctor's body kept dripping down, lest they fall on Lu Changgen's wound and cause infection, so he took a cloth towel from the table and helped him wipe it. When the doctor cut the thread, Lu Zhengan clearly saw that he was relieved.

"Tong'er, help him get some more medicine and bandage it." After that, the doctor glanced at Lu Ming's father and son, and then turned his head to Lu Zheng'an and instructed: "After you go back, take the medicine once every two days, and don't touch the water on the wound." But his wound is too big, so it's better for you to come to the medicine shop to get it safe. ”

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

The doctor nodded, walked to the tub at the back of the house, washed his hands, glanced at the people standing, and said, "The wound has been taken care of, and you can go back after you have paid the money." ”

As soon as he heard that he had to pay, Lu Zhengping subconsciously took a step back.

Lu Ming frowned and glanced at him, hunched over and came to the counter. After the doctor crackled and calculated the abacus for a while, he looked up and said to Lu Ming: "The money for suturing the wound and adding medicine is a total of two or three dollars." ”

When Lu Ming heard that he asked for more than two taels of silver, his brows suddenly furrowed. He turned to look at Lu Zhengping and said, "Take out the money you have." ”

Lu Zhengping glanced at his father's face, touched a silver horn of about three coins from his sleeve pocket, and handed it over. "That's all I have."

Lu Changgen, who was sitting on the stool, saw that all the money on the two of them was not enough, so he wanted to reach out and touch his pocket. However, as soon as Lu Changgen's hand took out the money bag, he was stopped by Lu Zhengan.

"Uncle Changgen, let's rest first, it's not this time to be a bodhisattva."

Lu Changgen saw that Lu Zhengan's face was dark, and the words he said were really ugly, and he knew that this kid was really angry.

In addition, Lu Zhengping's handling this time really made people angry, so Lu Changgen simply listened to Lu Zhengan's words and obediently put the money bag back in his pocket.

Lu Zhengan glanced at the two people in front of the counter with embarrassed expressions, instructed Lu Changgen to sit down and rest first, and then raised his feet and went out the door.

Lu Changgen's wound was too big and had just been stitched up, so it definitely couldn't be bumpy.

Although Hualong Town is not far from Lujia Village, it is not possible to walk back for half an hour. So, Lu Zhengan also came to the entrance of the town to find a carriage to come over, ready to send Lu Changgen back.

By the time Lu Zheng'an returned to the pharmacy, Lu Ming and Lu Zhengping had obviously already solved the problem of consultation fees. Lu Zhengan was not curious about this, so he walked up to Lu Changgen, bent down and helped the person up from the stool and walked out slowly.

Lu Zhengping didn't care about it, but when he saw Lu Zhengan helping Lu Changgen to the carriage, he was immediately a little unhappy.

"The town is not far from our village, just rent a mule cart, how expensive it is to rent a carriage."

Lu Zhengping's voice fell, and Lu Ming, who was on the side, immediately slapped him on the back. "You shut your mouth for me, Changgen'er because of who was injured, did you forget?!"

As soon as Lu Ming said this, Lu Zhengping immediately closed his mouth, but the expression on his face was still a little unconvinced.

When Lu Zhengan saw Lu Zhengping, he couldn't help but think of the events of that day, and he didn't have a good impression of him in his heart. After Lu Changgen was placed and Lu Ming followed into the car, Lu Zhengan jumped out of the car.

Seeing Lu Zhengping lift the hem of his clothes and prepare to get into the car, Lu Zhengan reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"The carriage was too small to fit three people. The town is not far from our village, so let's go back with Brother Zhengping. ”

After that, Lu Zhengan didn't wait for Lu Zhengping to speak, leaned over and sat on the wheel, let the handlebar style drive the car away.

CHAPTER XLVII

As soon as Lu Zhengan and the others walked outside the village, they saw Lu Yang's red eyes and a panicked face running in the direction of the town.

Lu Zheng'an knew that she should have known about Lu Changgen's injury, so she hurriedly greeted the handlebars, slowed down the car as she passed Lu Yang's, and jumped off the wheel.

"Auntie."

Seeing Lu Zheng'an, Lu Yang wiped his tears and said to Lu Zheng'an: "Are you coming back from the town? Have you seen you, Uncle Changgen? What about others? Does it matter if it hurts? ”

Lu Zhengan saw that Lu Yang's whole person was trembling when he was frightened, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed her arm, and said softly: "Auntie, don't worry, Uncle Changgen is fine." With that, Lu Zhengan lifted the curtain of the car and let Lu Yang see it himself.

After tossing for so long, Lu Changgen was already asleep at this time. Lu Yang glanced at his own man in the carriage and saw that he was indeed fine, so he was also a little relieved. It's just that after seeing Lu Ming, who was also sitting in the carriage, Lu Yang's face turned cold and he lowered the curtain.

Lu Zheng'an glanced at Lu Yang's and persuaded him: "Let's go home first and talk about everything." ”

Now that the matter has come to this point, no matter how much resentment Lu Yang has in his heart, it will not help, and he nodded when he heard Lu Zhengan's words. Seeing that the carriage was not moving fast, he followed Lu Zhengan to the carriage and walked home together.

Lu Yang raised his eyes and glanced at the carriage, turned his head sideways and said to Lu Zhengan: "I have just returned from your grandmother's house in Liuhu Township, and before I entered the house, I heard the iron bolt and his mother tell me that your uncle Changgen was cut and wounded. It was covered in blood, and I was so scared that I almost couldn't walk. ”

"Don't worry, auntie, Uncle Changgen's wound has been stitched up, and it won't be a big deal if you change the medicine frequently. It just so happened that Huaishu was here today, and the girl who was Yingchun was at home, and Huaishu was taking care of her. ”

Seeing that Lu Zhengan didn't ask Lu Changgen why he was injured, Lu Yang knew that he was unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the village. But at the moment, she was in turmoil, and she couldn't find anyone to complain, so she could only vent her bitterness in front of Lu Zhengan.

"Your fourth uncle usually hurts his son like an eyeball, and I don't know why he started to do it this time. You Uncle Gen, this fool even went up to block ......"

When Lu Yang's voice fell, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but think of the events of that day. I know in my heart that a person with Lu Ming's character can make him so angry, I am afraid that Lu Zhengping has made it clear to Lu Ming about himself and the widow.

However, this is just Lu Zhengan's speculation, and it is difficult for him to say whether this is the case or not. And he is not a talkative person, and Lu Zhengan naturally will not mention it to others about his bad luck to bump into Lu Zhengping and the widow in the wilderness.

Lu Changgen was usually very popular in the village, and the village knew that Lu Changgen's injured people were waiting outside, and when they saw the carriage stop at Lu Changgen's gate, they all gathered around to inquire about the situation. When I heard that he was fine, I was relieved.

Lu Zheng'an and Lu Yang's helped Lu Changgen out of the carriage, placed Lu Changgen in place, and after telling Lu Yang's doctor's instructions, they went home.

At this time, Song Huaishu was leading Lu Yingchun to pick peanuts at the door, and when he saw Lu Zheng'an returning, the big and small ones threw away the peanut seedlings in their hands at the same time and greeted him.

Song Huaishu: "How is it?" Uncle Nagane, is it okay? ”

Lu Yingchun: "Brother Zheng'an, is my father okay?" ”

Hearing the two of them ask at the same time, Lu Zhengan smiled and nodded to the two. grabbed Song Huaishu's shoulder with one hand, and touched Lu Yingchun's head with the other. "It's okay, I've been sent home."

Hearing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Then I'll go back to see my father first, and come back later to help Brother Song."

Seeing that Lu Yingchun was about to leave with his feet raised, Lu Zhengan reached out and grabbed her arm, and admonished: "Your father has been uncomfortable these days, you girl don't want to be naughty." Be obedient at home, otherwise your mother will really beat you. ”

Knowing that Lu Changgen was fine, Lu Yingchun was no longer so nervous. Listening to Lu Zhengan's instructions, the little girl waved her hand and replied impatiently: "Oh, I know the truth, I don't want to be naughty." With that, he galloped down the mountain.

Seeing Lu Yingchun's back disappear on the mountain road, Lu Zhengan took Song Huaishu's shoulders and returned to the gate of the small courtyard. Seeing the peanut seedlings piled up at the door, he knew that Song Huaishu must have pulled out all the peanuts in the garden. Hurriedly pulled Song Huaishu's hand over and looked at it, and saw that there were no blisters in his palm, so he relieved himself.

"Didn't you say wait for me to pick it up? What are you doing in such a hurry? ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an's words, Song Huaishu retracted his hand and smiled at Lu Zhengan: "There are not many communists, and it will be done with the girl in Yingchun for a while." It's that there may still be falling in the ground, so later you can use a grappling hook to pick it up. ”

"Well, I'll do the rest, you don't have to worry about it. Pick these up, and when you go back, bring a little more for your uncle and aunt, and cook a porridge to eat. ”

Song Huaishu was not polite to Lu Zhengan, and after answering, he looked sideways at Lu Zhengan. "Uncle Nagane is really okay, right? How can it hurt? ”

Lu Zhengan sat on a stool and pulled a peanut seedling, and while picking it, he said to Song Huaishu: "I was cut on the shoulder with a knife, and the wound was seven or eight inches long. I guess I won't be able to do it in the past few months. I didn't ask carefully how I was injured, but I heard Aunt Changgen say that it seemed that the fourth uncle had quarreled with his son, and in a fit of anger, he moved his hand, and Uncle Changgen went up to stop him and was cut down by the fourth uncle. ”

Hearing Lu Zheng'an mention the person 'Fourth Uncle', Song Huaishu was stunned for a while before he remembered Lu Ming's not very good-tempered old man with a thin body.

It's just that I didn't expect that the other party not only looked bad-tempered, but was still a person who would do something without saying a word......

"They are all relatives of the same clan, and if they are injured by mistake, they will help treat the injuries and pay for them. The autumn harvest is about to begin, and it is really unfortunate that Uncle Changgen has been so seriously injured at this juncture. ”

After Song Huaishu finished speaking, seeing that Lu Zhengan was speechless, he raised his eyes to look at his expression, and couldn't help asking, "Zheng'an, what's wrong with you?" ”

When Lu Zhengan heard Song Huaishu's words, he looked at his concerned eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Song Huaishu: "That day, when I sent you back, I encountered a disgraceful thing when I went down to the ground. ”

"What's the matter?" Song Huaishu couldn't help but be a little curious.

Lu Zhengan is not a person who likes to talk about his wife, but Lu Zhengping's matter is like a pimple in his heart. Knowing that Song Huaishu was not a man of many words, Lu Zhengan could not help but tell him what he had seen that day.

"When I found out something was wrong, I wanted to get around it. But they were just about to leave, so I squatted in the cornfield and hid for a while. When they came out, they found that the man was the son of the fourth uncle. I didn't know the woman, but she was a widow, and the two of them had been entangled for a long time. ”

Song Huaishu did not expect that what Lu Zhengan said was "disgraceful" turned out to be such a thing, and he could not help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart.

However, Song Huaishu's embarrassment could not resist his curiosity after all, and he continued to ask: "Now do you suspect that the son of the fourth uncle's family confessed to the fourth uncle, and the fourth uncle was angry and the two of them made a move, and then Uncle Changgen was accidentally injured in the rack?" ”

Lu Zhengan nodded, "I do have such doubts in my heart. But I can't tell anyone about it, so I can only tell you a few words. ”

When Song Huaishu listened to Lu Zhengan's words, he very much agreed in his heart, this kind of thing is really not good for outsiders. People believe it or not, don't say it first, after all, they are all surnamed Lu, and it is always bad to expose people's shortcomings here.

"Well, I see what you mean."

Song Huaishu threw the peanuts he had picked in his hand into the basket, remembered the injured Lu Changgen, and instructed Lu Zhengan: "Although you have gone to Uncle Changgen when he is injured, Uncle Changgen and Aunt Changgen are so kind to you, you can buy some things and go to his house again in the next two days." When the autumn harvest comes, if you can, you can help as much as possible. ”

"I know this in my mind, and tomorrow is nothing to do anyway, when the time comes, I'll go to the town to buy some meat and eggs and so on."

Knowing that Lu Zhengan is a man of his word, he was relieved to hear him arrange Song Huaishu like this. The two chatted with each other, and when the sun set, the pile of peanuts in front of them were all picked.

Lu Zheng'an lifted the basket full of peanuts to the yard and poured it out, flattened it, and saw that Song Huaishu had already washed his hands, and knew that he liked to eat tomatoes, so he raised his voice and said: "There are tomatoes in the basket that I just picked in the morning, and they are all red. ”
