Chapter 66: Two Stories
After speaking, he glanced at Cheng Lingxi again, counted the pain of his right hand being broken on her head, gritted his teeth and said: "Cheap thing, stare at you Lao Tzu again, dig up your tricks and feed the cat!"
Cheng Lingxi looked away, hatred growing in his heart.
When she was still in her mother's womb, she knew how hateful this Liu Dachou was, a scum who knew that his daughter-in-law was pregnant and still beat and scolded her, and she couldn't expect him to have such a precious quality as conscience.
Liu Dachou was driven away, timidly stood outside the door and watched, and the mother who did not dare to persuade him immediately rushed in, and knelt down to He Langzhong in fear to plead guilty: "Mr. He......"
"You're right, please stand up, I don't need your apology. He Langzhong took Cheng Lingxi's other hand and continued to take the pulse, saying, "The heart of the doctor's parents, when you see the patient, there is no reason not to treat the patient, don't worry." ”
"You, you're such a good man......" muttered the mother.
is indeed a good person, Cheng Lingxi echoed in her heart, watched He Langzhong take out a small bottle of medicinal oil from the small medicine box and handed it to his mother, silently adding the content: Those who teach Liu Dachou and help her mother are all good people.
"This is for you. He Langzhong said, "Wipe it on the bruises, rub the blood away, and it'll be fine." ”
Bruising?
Cheng Lingxi immediately thought of Liu Dachou's beating of her mother, and her murderous intent rose again, and when she heard the footsteps, her eyes fell to the door of the firewood room like lightning.
When Liu Dachou saw Cheng Lingxi, he thought of the black history in which he had been bluffed, and he spat in disgust, staring at his mother who wiped her tears with a gloomy face: "Slut! What kind of nonsense are you shouting here? If you don't whip you, you won't understand people's words, right? Now, go to the kitchen immediately and start a fire to boil water!"
Cheng Lingxi watched her mother leave, and killed Liu Dachou countless times in her heart.
Liu Dachou hadn't left yet, he looked at He Langzhong, and coldly threatened: "He Zhiyuan, if Lao Tzu's daughter is killed by you, I, Liu Da, will not give up! Also, if you break Lao Tzu's right hand and don't pay you 20 taels of silver for medical expenses, the Liu family will never let you go!"
Do you remember now that you have a daughter?
Cheng Lingxi wanted to slap Liu Dachou in the face, but he hated that he was weak now, and the only thing he could do was to clench his fists and write down a heavy sum for Liu Dachou, and settle the accounts one by one in the future.
"And peace of mind. He Langzhong stuffed her hand back into the quilt, and her tone was as gentle as a spring breeze, "You will be fine, first decoction of three doses of medicine and take it, and then lie down obediently for a few days, you can go anywhere to play." ”
He Langzhong took out a pen and paper to write a prescription, and even looked at Liu Dachou, who was in the way, and said coldly: "Liu Da, your hand can only be cured by me, if I knew that you abused and beat stupid girls, bullied your daughter-in-law and your son, your hand would not be healed in this life! ”
Liu Da Chou was almost so angry that he was angry, if the Liu family still remembered Liu Da, the last time he went to Baimu Town to worship the ancestors of the Liu family, he would not even be able to enter the clan gate, and he was ridiculed by the two subordinates who guarded the door.
Because he didn't dare to get angry with He Langzhong and Cheng Lingxi, Liu Dachou kicked on the threshold of the firewood room, but the threshold was not something he could kick and break, and the reaction force also injured his big toe, causing him to have to jump and walk.
He Langzhong wrote the prescription, told his mother about the matters that need attention, left with a small medicine box, and sent a medicine boy to deliver the medicine after he returned.
In the blink of an eye, it was dusk, and Cheng Lingxi's brother stepped on the mud and returned home exhausted.
His right arm was distorted into an abnormal shape, his feet were limp and limp, his lips, fingers, and toes were frozen blue and purple from the cold of early spring, and his body was covered with yellow mud and water.
Liu Dachou couldn't see this, he found that the medicine basket was empty, there were only scattered copper plates on his son's body, and the two tricks were almost staring into frog eyes, and he asked sharply: "Where did the herbs go? You have eaten all the money from the sale? Spit out the money immediately, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat you to death with the sole of his shoe!"
The elder brother didn't speak, and before Liu Dachou could start beating people, he fainted first.
Liu Dachou couldn't get the money and couldn't get the herbs, so he was so angry that he kicked his son a few times to get deflated, while picking and eating the meals made by his mother, while trying to count the wives and children who were not worried and unconscious, and the chatter was especially annoying.
Cheng Lingxi was already able to get off the ground, helped her mother carry her brother to the couch and lay down, pulled her mother who was going to find He Langzhong, and asked her to bring a belt and a wooden board to straighten her brother's arm, bandaged it carefully, and said, "Mother, that's fine." ”
"This ......" the mother was surprised and whispered, "Nan, what are you...... How did you learn that?"
"If you see someone in town doing this, you can think about it. Cheng Lingxi Road.
The mother was suspicious and told her to watch her brother for the time being, and go to the kitchen to cook ginger soup for her son to drink, so as not to suffer from the cold and get sick.
Cheng Lingxi went to find clean clothes to change for her brother, and when she untied the placket, she saw her unconscious brother suddenly open a pair of eyes and make a silent gesture to herself.
“...... Brother?" Cheng Lingxi blinked.
"My sister can speak, and she is not stupid?" The brother sat up, looked at her happily, asked her for confirmation, and explained the reason why he woke up by the way, "I'm fine, the coma is pretended." ”
Cheng Lingxi had already guessed in his heart, handed him the clothes, and said with a straight face: "Change the wet clothes first." ”
The elder brother laughed, obediently changed his clothes, and whispered to her: "The herbs were sold for a full twenty taels of silver, and they were all hidden in a place where only I knew. ”
Cheng Lingxi was angry that he ventured to Beimangshan on a rainy day, and when he heard that he had bought twenty taels of herbs, he was also stunned: "So much?"
"Meet well-wishers who are just in need. The elder brother said, "I won't hide it from you, the buyer is Mr. Jiang, who has moved to the town for less than two years, and we went to his house with my mother last time, remember?"
Cheng Lingxi had the impression that she had eaten the candy given by Master Jiang and the delicious snacks of the Jiang family, but she didn't remember what Master Jiang looked like, and why her mother went to Jiang's house, after all, the attention of the idiot was very limited.
"Remember, his dim sum was delicious. Cheng Lingxi returned to his brother.
"Yes, you weren't awake at that time, and you only knew how to eat and play every day. The elder brother felt happy when he saw his sister who was no longer stupid, and did not forget to remind her, "Master Jiang is willing to buy medicinal herbs, which is a kindness to us, and my sister must keep his kindness in her heart and repay it when she has the opportunity." ”
Cheng Lingxi nodded yes.
With the remaining light before the night came, she looked at her brother's thin face and pointed chin, and remembered her mother's thin and small figure, and was even more dissatisfied with Liu Dachou, who was busy eating, drinking, sleeping and playing bragging every day, not working or doing things, and raising a big belly.
Such a pig, keeping it is a waste of food, it is to find yourself unhappy, the sooner you slaughter it, the sooner you save worry.
But my mother and brother may not agree, so I have to raise my pillow and think slowly.
The night is over.
Cheng Lingxi got up early and went into the kitchen to help her mother, and her brother also sat in front of the stove to cook porridge and share the burden.
"Mother, can you tell us about your past?" Cheng Lingxi chose the green vegetables, looked at the mother who cut dried bamboo shoots with clear eyes, and took the initiative to provoke the topic, "You didn't give me and my brother serious names, and you didn't tell me and my brother your name, why is this?"
