Chapter 25: Leaving Early, Wandering in Troubled Times (10)
When night came, Gu Erwa sat on the side of the boat and ate the corn and potatoes she brought, which she had to eat only in good times in the past few years, and she could only eat bran cakes before. This is because he can only eat it because he is a laborer at home, and the old and young in the family can only eat bark and grass roots in those years, and his eldest baby was starved to death in this way.
After eating, Gu Erwa rubbed her legs as usual, soaked in water all the year round, her feet and legs suffered from rheumatism, and she felt a faint pain every rainy weather, thinking of her father, who had been pulling on this boat for 20 years, and there would be several eyes on her legs in this weather, and the pain would be so painful that she died, and in the end she couldn't stand it, and she ended it at home while people were not paying attention, maybe this is the life of the slender man. In the future, their children can only eat this mouthful of food, when will this kind of day be a head?
"Leg pain?" Gu Erwa suddenly heard a kind voice next to her ask, and quickly turned her head to look, it turned out to be the bald gentleman. Everyone is still speculating in private, whether this bald man is a monk, abducted the young lady of a rich and noble family and fled with his brother-in-law, isn't there this kind of joke in the play? But later, the boat boss and Mr. Bald Man talked, Mr. Bald Man was well-informed, and interesting stories at home and abroad were told to everyone as stories, so everyone broke off Mr. Bald's original idea that he was a monk, after all, the monk is in the mountains every day, how can he have so much insight in his stomach.
Mr. Bald claimed to be surnamed Lu, caught a good fish, caught a lot of fish every day, distributed to everyone to eat, listened to the boat boss said, Mr. Lu four people chartered the whole boat, two thousand oceans, the cost is not less at all, refreshing people. There are few people and the boat is light, and this trip is very easy, the trip of ten days or so is estimated to be completed in ten days, and the income of this month is a lot more, at least when I go home, I can pull a few feet of cotton cloth for my wife.
Gu Erwa smiled at the moment, "Mr. Lu, why didn't you stay in the cabin and run to the board?" This is a place for us rough people, you are a scholar, don't stain your shoes." ”
Lu Xihua smiled, "How can there be so many rules? I just came out to see." I see your leg hurts, is it soaked in water all year round?"
Gu Erwa put down her hand to rub her legs and said, "No, we are this life, and we can only do this after doing this." When I was young, my body was boiled to the bones, and when I was old, I suffered every day, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I found a rope to solve it by myself, so as not to burden my family. ”
Hearing these words, Lu Xihua felt bad in his heart, and said, "I'll know a little bit of medical skills, so I'll show you." ”
Gu Erwa hurriedly refused, "No, no, my mud legs, I'm just afraid of dirty Mr. Lu's hands." ”
Lu Xihua squatted down, let Gu Erwa sit on the side of the boat, raised Gu Erwa's leg with his hand, and looked at it carefully with the kerosene lamp on the boat.
Gu Erwa's knees bulged slightly, and Lu Xihua pressed it lightly with his hand to create a small pit, Gu Erwa frowned slightly, and it was a little painful. The calves are covered with bruising marks, which are accumulated in the connective tissue after water vapor seeps into the skin, causing the tissue to swell over the years, making the meridians blocked and deformed, making people miserable.
The slender man who was resting around saw that the bald Mr. Lu picked up Gu Erwa's leg and was watching, and they all came around, their daily life was boring, but they were lively at the moment.
Lu Xihua said, "You are rheumatism, it is water vapor entering the body, I will treat you." ”
Gu Erwa was surprised, "Mr. Lu, can this disease really be cured? I can only take medicine, and the medicinal materials are too expensive to afford to eat at all. ”
Lu Xihua said, "It's a little itchy, you bear it." After speaking, he clamped Gu Erwa's knees with both hands.
In a moment, Gu Erwa's knees began to turn red, and water droplets appeared between the pores, dripping down the leg hair. Gu Erwa only felt that her knees were itchy at the moment, and she couldn't help screaming, struggling to pull out her legs, but where she could move, she tried hard to break Lu Xihua's hand.
Lu Xihua said, "Come two friends, help grab this little brother's arm, don't let him move!"
The slender men next to them looked at it, it seemed to have some effect, remembering the leg pain of their ancestors, and hurriedly came out and grabbed Gu Erwa's arm and didn't let him move, if this Mr. Lu can really cure the leg pain, this is simply a good thing that fell from the sky.
Lu Xihua's hands went from knees to calves and then to ankles, and there were no water droplets on Gu Erwa's legs soon, and the skin quickly returned to its normal color. The initial soreness turned into the final warmth, and a stream of heat from knees to ankles surrounded his calves. At this time, Gu Erwa couldn't help but smile again, and screamed comfortably, amusing the slender men around her.
"Second baby, I'm afraid it's more comfortable than your wife, right?!" someone teased.
"You know what?!It's like soaking in hot water, it's so comfortable. Gu Erwa looked like she was enjoying herself, and she saw everyone looking at each other, is it really so amazing?
When Gu Erwa's legs returned to their original state, Gu Erwa was jumping and jumping on the boat at this moment, as if she was several years younger. Gu Erwa ran to Lu Xihua like crazy, and was about to kowtow, "Thank you, Mr. Lu! You saved the villain's life!"
Lu Xihua hurriedly helped him up and said, "No, no, everyone is a compatriot, I'm idle and idle, if anyone is willing to let me cure, tell me." Anyway, there are still some itineraries on the way, so let's come one by one. ”
The captain of the ship heard the chaos outside in the cabin, walked out, and said hello, "What's the matter?! What are you doing around Mr. Lu?
"Boss, look at the legs of the second baby!" A slender man pointed at Gu Erwa, "Second baby, why don't you hurry up and show it to the boss?!"
As soon as the second baby heard this, she ran to the boat boss, raised her legs, squatted and jumped, and saw that the boat boss's eyes came out, "Second baby, your leg hurts?"
"Mr. Lu knows how to heal me and healed me. Gu Erwa raised her head happily and reported to the boss.
"Oh, Mr. Lu still has this skill?" As soon as the boat boss heard Gu Erwa's words, he hurriedly turned to Lu Xihua with a look of surprise. The slender man on the boat is most afraid of rheumatism, not to mention the pain and suffering, he is afraid that he will not be able to stand the slip when pulling the fiber, the beach is dangerous and the water is urgent, the shore is full of strange rocks, and his feet slip and hit the stones, and his life will be gone.
Lu Xihua waved his hand, "It's just to temporarily force the water vapor out of the legs, if you want to cure the root cause, you still have to drink some medicinal wine, mainly snake bones and notoginseng, soak in wine, drink some every day, so that the periosteum is tough, and the water vapor will not enter the body." ”
The boat boss gritted his teeth, "Okay! For everyone's sake, I'll show this face and get medicinal herbs for everyone!"
Lu Xihua said, "I still have some snake bones and notoginseng there, I'll give them to you later, you can take it and soak the wine first." ”
The captain of the boat held Lu Xihua's hand and said, "Sir, thank you so much, how much is it, you say the number, I have no ambiguity." ”
Lu Xihua just wanted to help everyone, and said, "It's not worth a few dollars, it's all left over from before, you don't need money, you just use it." ”
The boat boss thought for a while, "Mr. Gaoyi, I, Chen Dalong, am a good talker, from now on, Mr. will be a friend of my robe brotherhood, and if you have something in the future, you will find my robe brother's club, and you will never refuse!"
Lu Xihua smiled, "That's right." This time, we hired a boat to go to the mountain city, hoping to buy some land to build a house in the suburbs, and asked the brothers of the Pao Brotherhood to find more brothers to help build a house, and the salary was preferential. ”
The boat boss laughed and said, "Mr. Lu, this is looking for a way to live for the brothers." No problem, Brother Pao will tie it up for you, whether fifty people are enough or not, no matter how many yards you enter, it will be repaired for you in half a month. ”
Lu Xihua smiled slightly, "There are more people, at least five hundred, eight hundred people are also enough." ”
The boat boss shook his hand, "Good boy, sir, how big of a house are you going to build?"
Lu Xihua said, "What I'm going to repair is called the tube building." ”
