Chapter 13: I'm scared to pee
The old man said it very sadly, and the old tears flowed unnaturally, and I was very uncomfortable
"Hey, I never thought that life would be so miserable before" "Thank you mother-in-law for saving your life, and the younger generation can't repay it, and there is no silver gift on my body, it's really... It's really embarrassing, just this piece of jade, it's still given to me by the master, just give it to my mother-in-law, I should be able to exchange it for a lot of things to get by."
I handed the medicine king jade plate on my body to the old woman, and after life and death, I realized that these are things outside the body, what is there to be reluctant to
"Take it back, the deserted village and wilderness, no matter how valuable things are, it's worthless, you'd better stop holding your chest, the old woman picked you up when you came back, and there are two books, the old woman is illiterate, I don't know what the book is, they all fell next to you, if it's rare, where is yours, it will kill you a long time ago, take your money and belongings, the world is sinister, the more valuable the more you have to hide it tightly"
"This.... The juniors are so grateful to my mother-in-law, cough cough cough..."
I bowed again, but my mother-in-law didn't raise her head, and she was still weaving something in her hands, like straw sandals
"That day, the old woman went to chop some firewood and came back, and saw you lying on a pile of weeds, already dying, the cliff is very high, Wangya Village is like this, for ordinary people fell down from there, and they have already fallen to pieces, I dragged you back, and I don't know if you can live, I can only pour you some water every day, gruel, as long as there is still breath, you can save it, you can survive, it can be seen that it is not an ordinary person, you have been in a coma for three days, let's go, the old woman has no extra food to support you, the old people in the village are dying, and there is no way to take out a thing and a half to give to you, there is still a small boat in the village, barely down the river, you go somewhere else to make a living, your clothes are all rotten, the people in the village are so poor that they don't have a needle and thread, and there is no way to help you make up for it, the old woman has a pair of straw sandals here, which are made for you, you see, is it appropriate?"
I staggered to my feet and put away the jade gourd, so it seemed that it must be the hundred-year-old true qi in my body that saved my life
"Thank you, mother-in-law"
I took off my shoe, which had been made for me by Ping'er, but it stinked a little
"Oops, it's a little stinky, I haven't washed it for days, and it stinks my mother-in-law."
"It doesn't matter, when my son is as old as you, I also knit straw sandals for him, and the poor live a hard life, and you will wear it."
The old man had a smile on his face, it was estimated that he hadn't smiled for a long time, and it was distressing to watch
"It fits perfectly... Mother-in-law has the grace of reinvention to the younger generation, if there is another day, the younger generation will come back to repay your great kindness, and the younger generation can only kowtow to you"
I knelt down and knocked my head three times in a row
"Hurry up, no thanks, don't come back if you leave... When I came back, I guess the old woman also went to the ground."
The old woman stood up, her rickety body, these days of helplessness had already tortured her enough
"Why does my mother-in-law say this? It's okay for you to live like a centenarian in this old body, if the younger generation can take revenge, come back to give you a pension and send you to the end."
"Hehe, the old woman understands it, if it weren't for my daughter, I would have died a long time ago, how could I have lived until now... Ahem, hey, bitter, bitter."
The old woman wiped her sad tears, sat down by the stove, grabbed some firewood and threw it in, there was no food in the pot, it seemed to be some water, some grass and wild vegetables
"By the way, what's going on in this village, why are there only so many mothers-in-law left?"
"Hey, this Wangya Village used to be a big village around, there are a lot of people who come to settle down and provide for the elderly, there are many people who have fallen into the rivers and lakes, once prominent and nobles who have fallen in the middle of the road, there are more than 100 families at most, there is a respected doctor living on the mountain, he has traveled the world, widely practiced medical skills, saved countless people, some people in the village are sick, they all go to the mountains to find him, never collect money from poor people, everyone takes food, livestock to thank him, those days are the happiest days in Wangya Village, the old woman and her husband gave birth to my eldest daughter at that time, life is also quite stable, about more than 30 years, his old man suddenly died of illness, everything was taken over by his devilish apprentice, not only was he not good at medical ethics, but he tested the medicine with the people in the village, and finally made that kind of heart-devouring pill, he forced everyone to take the pill, and when the pill attacked, people scratched their chests like crazy, and I watched my son being tortured to death..."
The old woman wiped her tears
"It must be the old poison of the enemy, and the younger generation is also the one who knocked down the cliff with one palm, and my mother is also controlled by him in the cave"
"Hey, there was no shortage of some Jianghu travelers who said they wanted to help administer justice, and in the end there was no return, my husband was because he couldn't pay the monthly requirements of food, he couldn't ask for an antidote, and finally he was tortured to death, the people in the village, those who could escape escaped, the dead died, my daughter was caught by him as a maid in the cave, her ears and mouth were poisoned, the old woman could only look at her when she paid the food every month, babbling, she couldn't say a word, she saw that my heart hurt to death, I lived, just waiting for her to come back and reunite with me... ”
After hearing these words, it really made me angry, I have never been so uncomfortable and angry when I have grown so big
"This old poison is really full of conscience, full of evil, I am grateful to him for saving his life, bah, if I can have the ability, I will definitely take his dog's life, in order to sacrifice the spirit of the master and so many innocent people in heaven"
I clenched my fists, and I wanted to tear the enemy to pieces immediately
"Don't give your life in vain, let's get out quickly, maybe we can find a family to spend the night before dark"
"Thank you mother-in-law for saving your life, the younger generation is unforgettable"
"Don't be polite, let's go quickly, the boat is by the river not far from the door, go, go all the way"
"Mother-in-law cherishes, juniors have said goodbye"
"Well, let's go"
I turned around several times, but the old woman didn't raise her head, it seems that she has taken life lightly, if it weren't for the flesh and blood affection, how could she have the courage to live
When I came to the river, I saw one or two old women, but when they saw me, they hid and did not dare to greet me, so I smiled bitterly, got into the boat, and rowed slowly downstream
Sunset, coupled with seasickness, I fell asleep on the boat in a daze, and when I woke up it was already dark, the boat floated to a shore and stuck, I swayed and stood up, it was so dark, it was inconvenient to continue to move forward, I could only go ashore first to find a nest for a night, the stomach was empty, and the sounds of birds and beasts were all around, for me, it was an unusual horror, hey, if it was placed in the past, I would never have thought that I would be so pitiful in the wilderness, the saddest thing is that there is no moonlight at all tonight, it is dark ahead, and the terrifying atmosphere makes me sweat and my legs are weak
I breathed heavily, my steps trembled, and I walked forward step by step, holding the bamboo raft tightly in my hand, my throat was dry, and I wiped the sweat from my forehead from time to time
"Woooooo
Don't scare me
"Woooooooooo Give me back my life.... Give me back my life."
Ahhh
