Chapter 8: Mysterious Old Proverbs
Wang Qiyu ate three bowls of rice in this meal, and he was still a little unsatisfied, but he was embarrassed to eat again.
After the meal, Zhao Qingyue made Wang Qiyu a cup of tea, and then began to take care of the endgame.
Wang Qiyu sat at the table, drinking tea, looking at Zhao Qingyue's busy little figure, and sighed in her heart: What a poor good girl!
During the meal, the two communicated, and Wang Qiyu knew that Zhao Qingyue was actually an orphan girl.
She now lives here alone, practicing medicine for her fellow villagers.
It's very strong and quite sympathetic.
......
Zhao Qingyue was busy with cleaning, went to the ward to have a look, and talked for a while with the family members of the two patients who came to deliver meals and accompany the bed at night.
Li Dagou, who had a broken leg, woke up and moaned in pain from time to time, but he couldn't use anesthetics anymore tonight, an overdose was not good for his health.
He was accompanied by his wife Qian Xiaoyun, a thin middle-aged woman who seemed to have a very weak personality and always cried "muffled".
Zhao Qingyue knew that she was not only worried about her husband's injury, but also worried about her future life.
Li Dagou's leg is broken, what will their family do in the future? They have an old man and three children in their family, but they completely rely on Uncle Li to earn food.
However, Zhao Qingyue can only comfort and comfort, she can't help it, her legs are broken, can she grow again?
After comforting this, I have to deal with Aunt Sun and her daughter Qian Lili, a twenty-year-old daughter-in-law.
After assuring them that if they didn't get well tomorrow, they would go to the town and ask a doctor to come for a consultation, and they could be considered to be reassured.
Then, Zhao Qingyue left the main ward, went to the middle of the three rooms opposite, and began to tidy up the room.
This is the guest room, and she plans to let Wang Qiyu live here.
After all, the environment of the big ward is poor, and Wang Qiyu's illness is not ordinary, so it is better to isolate it a little and it is good for everyone.
......
Zhao Qingyue was busy, and Wang Qiyu was drinking tea while continuing to read "Common Sense of Practice".
It's not that he doesn't help Zhao Qingyue, but that Zhao Qingyue doesn't want him to help.
So, he had to be idle alone.
Looking at it, he was fascinated.
Zhao Qingyue tidied up the room and walked over, but Wang Qiyu didn't pay attention.
Zhao Qingyue didn't bother him, quietly moved to the back hall, and also looked at the medical book.
When she was five years old, her parents disappeared and she lived with her grandparents.
She hadn't seen her father's relatives since she was a child, and she didn't know if her grandparents were still alive.
When she was nine years old, her grandmother died, leaving her grandfather alone.
When she was twelve years old, her grandfather also died, and she began to live alone.
Zhao Qingyue's grandfather is an old doctor in the village, with superb medical skills and is very respected by the villagers.
Since she was a child, her grandfather taught her to study medicine, but Zhao Qingyue's interest is not in medicine, but in martial arts.
Therefore, she practiced good martial arts, but she did not learn her grandfather's medical skills well.
Although her grandfather didn't mention anything when he was dying, Zhao Qingyue knew that her grandfather left with regret.
Zhao Qingyue felt guilty and regretted what she had done.
From then on, Zhao Qingyue decided that she must learn her grandfather's medical skills well and comfort his soul in the sky.
But......
It's really hard to study medicine!
Maybe it's because of her talent, she has worked very hard in the past three years, but her medical skills are still mediocre.
Although some common illnesses can be treated in this remote Beiyuan village, it is still a headache when encountering incurable diseases.
However, Zhao Qingyue is not discouraged, she believes that as she treats more and more patients and studies medical books more and more, her medical skills will definitely get better and better.
She had already made up her mind to inherit her grandfather's mantle and be a good doctor.
Zhao Qingyue frowned tightly, and looked at it word by word more intently.
What is going on with Aunt Sun's illness? How should Wang Qiyu's illness be treated?
She looked through it and thought about it, looking extremely serious.
"Bell, bell, bell......"
A bell rang suddenly.
Wang Qiyu put down the book, and the strange time of checking the system was 21:01:02.
What is the purpose of ringing the bell at this time?
Zhao Qingyue walked over from the back hall, and when she saw Wang Qiyu's surprised expression, she explained: "This is called a hypnotic bell, and it is a traditional custom in our northern plains. ”
"What? hypnotic bell? ...... the name."
Wang Qiyu is so strange, can this bell be hypnotic? I don't feel anything when I hear it!
"The name is a bit straightforward, but it's easy to understand, isn't it? Hypnosis bell hypnotic bell, the bell that urges everyone to go to bed quickly, everyone will understand it when you hear it, right?"
"Hehe......" Wang Qiyu smiled awkwardly, "There are some places in my hometown that have similar rules, but we call it 'lights out', and as soon as the signal sounds, it is to inform everyone that it is time to go to bed and the lights are going out." ”
"Oh, it turns out that your hometown has similar customs, what a coincidence!"
Although Zhao Qingyue didn't believe that Wang Qiyu's hometown earth was a star, she still listened to Wang Qiyu talk about the customs and customs on the earth at night.
In her opinion, although the things Wang Qiyu said are bizarre, such as the flying iron bird called the plane, the iron boat that can be driven in the water, etc., it is unbelievable.
But there are also some things that seem to be true, such as respect for women, emphasis on women first, equality between men and women, monogamy, and so on.
Because this can be reflected in Wang Qiyu's every move, this can't be faked.
Therefore, Zhao Qingyue is very yearning for Wang Qiyu's hometown.
"If you follow the naming method of your hometown, then this hypnotic clock should be called a wax clock. Zhao Qingyue said with a smile.
"Oh, how do you say that?" asked Wang Qiyu with interest.
"Well, on our side, you have to keep candles on when you go to bed at night. ”
"Why?" Wang Qiyu was even more strange.
"It has something to do with the legend of our village...... In our village, there is an old proverb: if you don't get off the bridge during the day, don't leave the village at night. The candle is lit next to the bed, and the door is not opened in the middle of the night. ”
"Hmm......" Wang Qiyu touched his chin, "It sounds like it's very mysterious!"
"It was meant to be!"
Zhao Qingyue pursed her lips and smiled, and began to tell the story: "According to old legends, thousands of years ago, Beishan was a ghost stronghold, and Beiyuan Village was an outpost of the human race. Between the humans and the ghosts, it is bounded by the Yin River outside the village of Beiyuan. ”
She paused slightly, and asked with a smile: "The Jieyin River is the river with a chain bridge on it, do you remember?"
"Remember. ”
"Also, you're all fainting there, and you must be impressed. ”
“......”
Wang Qiyu rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Zhao Qingyue continued to narrate: "It is said that after many fierce battles between humans and ghosts, they finally reached an agreement that during the day, ghosts will not cross the line, but only haunt the North Mountain. ”
"Of course, a promise is a promise, and there will always be ghosts who will break the agreement at any time, but after all, it is a minority. ”
"So, as long as the human race doesn't cross the Jieyin River, they will generally not encounter ghosts. ”
