Chapter 8: The Old Man

All the way, the two of them naturally eat and sleep together, the big town and the small set of red fish will sit in the museum for inspection, a few places sit for two days, the vast majority of places are one day, and her medicine bag is gradually empty, many people know Hongyu, see her are very respectful, this is a kind of respect from the heart, whether it is a farmer, a small trader, a soldier, a landlord, an official, they are all very good to Hongyu, Hongyu also treats these patients equally, which opened another door for Wu Xiaoliang, let him see goodness, see the power other than killing, his little psychological contemplation.

Twenty days later, they came to a quiet bamboo garden, there are several wooden houses in the open space in the middle of the bamboo garden, in the middle is a three-story small building, there are rows of ear rooms on the left and right sides, arch out of a large open courtyard in the middle, surrounded by a piece of bamboo garden, conjoined by mountains, is a very quiet place, this fashion is evening, the sunset obliquely into the courtyard, an old man with white hair sits on the bamboo rocking chair and is attached to the residual warmth of the residual sun, the rocking chair swaying and making a rhythmic squeak.

The old man seemed to hear someone coming, opened his eyes slightly, saw the entrance of the bamboo garden, a tall and a short figure, and laughed slightly: "It's back".

Wu Xiao walked closer, the old man looked up and down, Wu Xiao was also looking at the old man, an old and a young looked at each other, Hongyu said: "Aren't you looking for Xiping Reins, he is Xiping Reins, and he is also my grandfather, my name is Xihongyu", Wu Xiao was not so surprised, in fact, he had already guessed that Xiping Reins should be very familiar with Hongyu, so it was not surprising that it was Redfish's grandfather, but the surprise was that Xiping Reins was an old man, and my father asked me to find this old man to do?

"My father told me to come to you," Wu Xiao began

"Who is your father?" said the old man

"Wu Feng", the old man was obviously excited when he heard this name

"You're Wu Feng's son?"

"Yes, my father asked me to tell you, Skynet is magnificent and not leaky", hearing this, the old man gloomy for a while, and suddenly leaned back in his chair.

"I see, your father must be dead, otherwise he wouldn't have let you bring this sentence to me"

Wu Xiao was silent, he also had some questions, he looked at the old man like this

"Come on, child, your father once was kind to me and asked you to come to me, that is, to ask Gu and me, and in the future, our grandfather will depend on each other."

"Okay, I'll go and make noodles, today I'll make grandpa's favorite green vegetable and egg noodles" Hearing this, Hongyu looked the happiest, she pulled Wu Xiao and ran into the small building.The old man shook his head lovingly, and continued to lie in the rocking chair and watch the sunset with only half of the mountains left.

The red fish is very neat and the noodles, rolling the dough, after a while, roll out a wide dough, roll it into a roll with a rolling pin, and then pull out the rolling pin, take a knife to cut out a long noodle, go down to the pot, put a few eggs and vegetables, and soon the evening food will be done, Wu Xiao helped burn a brazier, and put it in front of the wooden table for dinner under the guidance of the red fish, Wu Xiao went to call grandpa, the red fish scooped some pickles again, and the three of them ate very fragrantly at night.

"I finally don't have to eat the soup and rice made by Aunt Li," grandpa sighed over the pickles.

"It's good that I don't have you to eat, but I suspect that Aunt Li doesn't make it delicious," Hongyu said with a smile

"Are you used to eating," Grandpa asked as he looked at Wu Xiao, who was slowly eating noodles

"It's delicious," Wu Xiao said

"Let's eat this for you, I'm old, I don't have to eat so much" Grandpa sandwiched the egg into Wu Xiao's bowl.

Wu Xiao looked at the old man and finished eating a bowl of noodles by dividing it by two.

Redfish watched from the sidelines, and his face didn't stop smiling.

At night, Hongyu cleaned up a room next door to Wu Xiao to live in, brought new bedding and utensils, and saw that after he washed up and went to bed yesterday, Hongyu gently closed the door and walked out.

When I went downstairs, I saw that the old man was still sitting in front of the fire, and he was sitting next to him

"Do you like this kid?" asked Grandpa

"He's very likable, but also pitiful," Redfish said

"Well, it's pathetic, and I don't talk much."

"I rarely speak, and I can't say three sentences a day when I have time."

"His parents died overnight, he can be frightened, and he has to be enlightened slowly"

"I know, I'll let him do something, so that he doesn't always want to think about it"

"It's a good idea," said the old man

"But you have to keep it a secret, no one can say that his father is not a simple person, he may die at any time"

"I know, Zeng Asheng also told me this, and only Zeng Asheng and a few of them know about this," Hongyu said

"Zeng Asheng is so don't worry, he is much calmer than you, and he knows the severity," the old man took a sip of tea and continued

"Let's talk about the situation of going out this time, did you encounter any tricky cases?"

"There are one or two, there is an old man, the right side of his abdomen is bulging very big, but it doesn't hurt or itch, and my pulse is normal."

"I think he has a big sarcoma in his abdomen, and he may need to open his abdominal cavity to cut it off, but now it's no problem, it's going to kill if he has a seizure," the old man said after a while

"I haven't opened the abdominal cavity yet, and I don't dare to start rashly," Hongyu said unconfidently.

"Come, I'll show you," the old man stood up and walked out

The two walked to the west wing, the old man took out the key and opened the door, the red fish followed, the old man moved a cabinet, revealing a downward passage, the two walked down the stairs, the red fish found the fire fold and lit the fire candles in the basement, the basement was lit up, the whole basement was placed four long stone platforms, and some pools, bursts of pungent smell emanated from the pool, the stone platform was placed with various forms of small knives, the ground was full of dark red patches, the old man walked to a pool and took off his wool coat, Hongyu rolled up his sleeves and went over to help, and the two of them took out a corpse of Chiguo from the pungent yellow water and slowly put it on a stone platform.

"I just found it last night, soak it in alkaline water, it's useless if you come back later" The old man said, Hongyu said while preparing the knife: "Don't go in the future, this job is very tiring, I'll go in the future".

After the two were ready, the old man picked up a narrow knife and said: "Look at Luo", after speaking, I saw that he opened a figure-eight opening from the heart of the corpse to both sides, his hand was very steady, the knife was very ready, and the knife edge was also very straight, and he explained to the red fish while talking, and after a while, the corpse was dissected almost completely, and then he pointed to the red fish to open the knife, and explained that if you avoid blood vessels, avoid internal organs

The next day, Wu Xiao just went downstairs and saw that Hongyu was busy taking the medicinal materials to the courtyard to dry, Wu Xiao wanted to help, but Hongyu pulled him to a guillotine and said: "Put all these medicines into tablets, and you want to make them fine", so Wu Xiao took a day's medicine, but fortunately Wu Xiao was very focused, and he had been doing this boring thing consistently for a day.

Hongyu is also instructing him to know these medicinal materials, distinguish between good and bad, when Hongyu and the old man boil medicine to make pills together, Wu Xiao can also help a lot on the side, at least like firing paraffin inverted molds, and encapsulating some precious pills, Wu Xiao can still do well, so for more than a month, Wu Xiao can already identify more than 200 kinds of medicinal materials, saying that the color of the year is good or bad and the basic function.

After this period of preparation, it was time for the red fish to go out for a round again, and he was going to take Wu Xiao with him, but the old man asked Wu Xiao to stay, saying that there were some things to explain to him, and the red fish could only go alone, which day of the trip, Wu Xiao got up early to take out the black horse and brush it clean, the black horse had eaten well and rested well during this time, and he was actually fat, his coat color was also a lot brighter, and the edge of his hooves was thicker, Wu Xiao also gave him a frustration, so as not to run up and get in the way, and the red fish hung the medicine bag on the horse, Pulled Wu Xiao and kissed him, and then walked away.
