Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dependence on Each Other
After the two were sad for half an hour, they buried the bright moon here. Duan Yu rushed to the city overnight with intermittent on his back, and before dawn when he arrived in the city, he slept in front of the doctor's house for an hour. As soon as the doctor opened the door, he woke them up, and Duan Yu carried his back into the house again.
After the doctor checked the intermittent physical condition, he said in amazement: "The old man has been practicing medicine for decades, and it is the first time he has seen this situation. And in my experience, I don't know how it happened, it's really strange. ”
Duan Yu hurriedly said, "Doctor, you save him." ”
"He missed the best time to rescue, and even if he rescues now, it only allows him to barely move, and he can't be intact in the future, and he can't use gravity in the future, and he is a half-crippled person to put it mildly. And the medical expenses are a lot, can you bring enough?"
After hearing this, the two of them felt cold, which means that they couldn't be cured, so Duan Yu knelt down in front of the doctor: "Doctor, save my brother first, and I will make you a medicine boy to make up for this medical fee in the future." ”
The doctor heard it, and his attitude suddenly became bad, and said: "In other words, there is no money, then you can go, I don't need a medicine boy like you, and I still bring a waste person, don't you want me to support the two of you." There are a lot of people who want to learn the craft from me, and they will send a medicine boy like you who sticks upside down!"
"Please, doctor, save my brother. ”
"Go back and come back when you have all the money for the medicine, or just leave him alone, he shouldn't be able to die, but it will always be like this." After saying that, he called someone to send off the guests.
Although he couldn't move, he saw it in his eyes, and he didn't want his brother to suffer this insult: "Let's go." ”
After the two of them went out helplessly, Duan Yu was very anxious, and the longer he dragged on, the worse his condition became. He wrote on the street floor and sold himself to save his brother, willing to make cattle and horses for others, but because of the need for too much medical expenses, no one bought them.
At the end of the day, the two of them didn't eat, which was not as good as picking some wild fruits in the woods to eat, and in desperation, Duan Yu settled down under a stone bridge with his brother on his back.
Duan Yu said, "Wait, I'll go find something to eat." ”
Before he could speak, Duan Yu ran away and returned after a quarter of an hour. He was holding a few dirty buns in his hands, and there were bruises on his head and exposed arms. He fed the buns intermittently, and said as he fed them: "This kind of stuffed seed is quite delicious, I have eaten six of them! ”
Eating intermittently with tears in his eyes, he said, "These injuries are all caused by the people who sell steamed buns, they hurt a lot." ”
"It's fine, little injury. ”
"Don't resent them, it's our fault to steal buns after all. ”
"Hmm. ”
The next day, Duan Yu sold himself to save his brother in another place, but still no one bought it, and it was still the same on the third day. That night, he said intermittently: "Forget it, these are all fate." I may not be cured, you can go, or it will drag you down. ”
"Say anything, even if it can't be cured, you will have me in this life. ”
"Forget it, I don't want to drag you down for the rest of your life, give up on me and you may still have a wonderful life. If this continues, your whole life can be seen today, and I don't want you to be like this. Intermittently and seriously.
Duan Yu also said seriously: "Don't give me any strange thoughts, if you die, I will never live alone." ”
Silently shedding tears, Duan Yu continued: "Today I heard a way to find money, a rich boy wants to raise a bird. But this kind of bird is difficult to tame in the later stage, so a large reward is offered to buy a bird egg and want to hatch it by itself, so that it will see itself at first sight, so that it will listen to itself in the future, and there are successful cases. So tomorrow I'm going to go to the nest of this bird and steal two eggs, and we'll have enough money for our medicine. ”
Intermittently said: "It won't be so easy, otherwise there wouldn't be a heavy reward." ”
"It's not easy for others, but it's not the same for us because we're familiar with the woods, so it's not a big problem. I'll go tomorrow morning and I'll be back in the evening, and you'll be waiting for me here. ”
"Be careful yourself. ”
The next day, Duan Yu went out early, leaving him alone under the bridge, the weather was changing, and he was not afraid of the cold, so it was fine. But the sky gradually darkened, and Duan Yu still didn't come back, which made him very worried. It was night, and he still didn't come back, and in the middle of the night, he still didn't come back. I can't move by myself, it's really scratching my heart with a hundred claws, and I can't sleep all night.
Intermittently thirsty with cracked lips and starved eyes, but the most worrying thing is when Duanyu will come back and whether he can come back. In the morning, he still didn't come back, and it wasn't until the evening of the afternoon that Duan Yu ran back, and hurriedly fed water intermittently and ate wild fruits.
Intermittently happy, he said, "It's great to see you come back safe and sound." ”
"You see, I made it. Duan Yu lifted his clothes, revealing two golden eggs, each the size of a bowl.
"By the time I found the nest, it was getting late, the birds had already returned to their nests, and I was going to come back the next day. Unexpectedly, I was surrounded by several wolves, and in desperation climbed up the tree, and they stayed under the tree for the night, and the next morning I was chased away by a tiger. Luckily the tiger didn't spot me, and I didn't get it until it was far away and the bird was out of the nest, but it was almost noon. I'll sell it to the rich boy tomorrow, and I can go to the doctor at noon to prescribe medicine. ”
Intermittently said lightly: "It's good if you come back, it doesn't matter if you do anything else." ”
The next morning, Duan Yu went out alone and returned an hour or two later. It can be said that he was very happy, with a lot of buns, after the two of them were full, Duan Yu was about to go on the road on his back, but was stopped by a few middle-aged people.
The middle-aged man said: "Hand over all the money you have got, don't do useless struggles, this will not change the outcome, it will only make you suffer more." ”
Duan Yu was furious: "Use your courage and strength elsewhere, I won't give it to you." ”
Intermittently said: "Forget it, give it to them, we can't beat them." ”
"It's still this paralyzed person's acquaintance. ”
Duan Yu slowly put down the break, picked up the stone and fought with them when he got up. However, how could a teenager beat a few middle-aged people, although he smashed the head of one of them with blood, but he was also beaten lightly, and the money was taken away by several people.
Broken Yu couldn't cry on the ground, not because of his own pain, but because he was taken away of hope. This kind of easy way to get money is not every day, this time there is a rich boy asking for bird eggs, which is already a difficult opportunity to encounter, but in the end he was cut off halfway, which is really unwilling, but also helpless. Duan Yu hugged and cried intermittently, like a child.
"Forget it, at least we're still together now. ”
"I really want to steal money, kill people, or set fires. "Food and clothing think about the bath, hunger and cold give birth to stealing hearts. They are all persecuted, who would think.
"By no means, you can't let this break your heart. "Said intermittently.
"Ah......" Duan Yu was depressed and painful in his heart.
After more than ten days, Duan Yu asked around the city, but he didn't find a suitable way to make money.
At night, he said intermittently: "Now I may not even be past the last period of treatment, let's get out of here." ”
Duan Yu cried and sobbed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
"You've done enough, I'm the one to say I'm sorry. Let's go and accompany Mingyue, who was in too much of a hurry. ”
"Good. The next morning, Duan Yu set off again with an intermittent back and came to Mingyue before dark. The two slept in front of Mingyue's grave for a night, as if they both dreamed of her.
