Chapter 32: Well Water

Zhang Cai said: "It's definitely not ginseng, I only saw that thing in the medical hall when I was young, and since I arrived in Guozhuang, I haven't had a chance to see it again." ”

Everyone is getting more and more strange, what can they have? On weekdays, everyone eats in the same pot, and the food is all farmhouse food, nothing special.

Everyone was puzzled.

Seeing that it was late, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei had been busy for a day, physically and mentally exhausted, and they had already been exhausted, so everyone dispersed.

Zhang Xiaohua tiptoed back to her grandmother's hut, her grandmother was already asleep, although she coughed softly from time to time, but after all, she was tired, she still slept very deeply, and she didn't notice Xiaohua's movement into the house. Zhang Xiaohua got into her own bed, listened to her grandmother's suppressed cough and intermittent breathing, her heart was very sour, and she couldn't help but think of her grandmother's kindness to herself.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua burst into tears, tears flowed across his face, slid down on the pillow, and gradually, he fell asleep, and Zhang Xiaohua's flickering dream came as scheduled.

Zhang Xiaohua in the dream is like living in a breathing, flickering shijie regularly, his breathing, his body, and everything about him also follow this flickering, flashing unconsciously, and gradually dissolving into one with this shijie.

The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone into her grandmother's cabin, Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes on time, and the flickering in the same eyes flashed away.

The first thing Zhang Xiaohua did after opening her eyes was to listen to her grandmother's voice. However, he didn't cough and breathe, he quickly got up, but found that his grandmother was not in the house, and when he got up and walked outside, he saw that his grandmother was sitting on a chair in the courtyard, the morning wind was still very cold, blowing up his grandmother's white hair flying in the sun, and Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were blurred.

He hurriedly ran over and said to his grandmother, "Grandma, go back to the house quickly, the wind is very cold this morning, and your health is not good, so don't come out in the morning." ”

Grandma's hand groped to find Zhang Xiaohua's head, and she caressed it lovingly and said, "Xiaohua, grandma is old and sleepy less, so she can't sleep for a long time.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't speak, but silently carried her grandmother back to the warm hut.

Coming out of the hut, Zhang Xiaohua still looked at the morning sun on the horizon, and suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, so he also made a move to bite the sun, sure enough, this time he still felt a hot current into his throat, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, wasn't it his own delusion? I pondered for a while, but I didn't come up with a reason, so I shook my head, no longer thinking deeply, just preparing to eat like this every morning to see what the situation was like Zuihou.

After eating a simple breakfast, Zhang Xiaohua went to the slope to fetch spring water as usual.

Zhang Xiaohua was just about to go out, and Liu Qian, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, shouted: "I know what grandma eats." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Zhang Cai asked in wonder, "What kind of grandmother eats?"

Liu Qian smiled and said, "It's just yesterday, didn't the doctor say that grandma ate ginseng?"

Zhang Cai suddenly realized, Zhang Xiaolong said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what did grandma eat?" Zhang Xiaohua also stopped.

Liu Qian said mysteriously: "It should be said that grandma is drinking something." ”

"Drink?" When Zhang Xiaolong heard the word "drink", his eyes looked at Zhang Xiaohua and seemed to understand something.

Zhang Xiaohu hadn't finished eating, he looked at the gruel in the bowl in his hand blankly, and said in a daze: "That's it? is it ginseng? ”

Liu Qian saw that everyone was puzzled, so she explained: "Look, didn't we think about it for a long time last night, and we didn't think of anything special? Since I came, this well water has been eaten in large quantities, especially my grandmother, who has only recently liked to drink tea made from well water, and the well water we use for dinner has only recently started! ”

Guo Sufei patted her head and said, "It's true, I thought about eating it yesterday, I didn't think about drinking it, what Liu Qian said is really right." ”

Zhang Cai said: "It is said that ginseng can nourish the body of my mother, but I believe that this water, no matter how good it is, is just water, can it be eaten as a tonic?", he asked Liu Qian suspiciously.

Liu Qian didn't know how to answer, and said, "Uncle, I don't know about this, why don't we send a pot of water to the town's medical hall and let them see?"

Guo Sufei said: "Well, haode, or let Xiaohu bring a pot for a while, run to the town, and let the doctor take a look." ”

Zhang Xiaohu said excitedly: "Haode, I'll eat and prepare for it immediately, my injury is almost haode, it's no problem to run." ”

Zhang Xiaohua also said: "I'll go to fetch water immediately, and I also want to go to the town with my second brother." ”

After that, he was ready to run up the slope.

At this moment, Zhang Cai spoke, he said: "No, don't go!"

Everyone was flustered again, and Guo Sufei said: "Master, what do you mean by this? Why don't you let Xiaohu and them go?"

Seeing that everyone was very strange, Zhang Cai smiled bitterly and said, "Have you forgotten Mr. Wu from the neighboring village?"

Suddenly, Liu Qian and Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized, while the others were still confused, Zhang Xiaohu said strangely: "Daddy, of course we know about Mr. Wu, just because he dug up a treasure and was killed by a thief." ”

Zhang Cai said: "Then is our well water a treasure?"

Zhang Xiaohu said: "I just don't know, so I let the doctor in the town take a look?"

Zhang Cai then said, "What if it is?"

Zhang Xiaohu was speechless, and he didn't know how to interface.

Liu Qian saw that everyone was still a little confused, so she explained: "Uncle's meaning is this, if this well water is a treasure and is known by the doctor in the town, it is a great thing, the ginseng in the well is more precious than Mr. Wu's box of jewelry, and it is known by the bandits, so why not kill people and grab water? What is my grandmother drinking when she is all beaten up? What I am most afraid of is that she will be occupied by powerful people, and no one will be able to beat her?"

That's when everyone understood.

Zhang Xiaolong asked again: "If you don't let the doctor see it, we don't know if this well water is useful to my grandmother?"

Liu Qian said with a smile: "Let's not talk about taking this water to the hospital for the time being, whether the doctor will show us or not, or whether the doctor can see it." Even if the well water is useless, we don't know if this water is useful for my grandmother's body, and there is nothing to lose to us, so don't we still drink this water and use it to cook?"

Then, Liu Qian said solemnly: "If this water is useful, then we may not be able to drink this water in the future, and grandma will not be able to drink it, and there will even be a disaster of death." ”

Guo Sufei hurriedly said: "Liu Qian is right, we can't go to the town to find a doctor. Moreover, everyone must keep the matter of well water secret, and never tell it. ”

Everybody.

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head while carrying water, and muttered to herself in her heart: "In this world, people's hearts are not ancient." You have to protect yourself first in everything you do, it's really hard to be a human being. ”

Since this day, Zhang Xiaohua has been fetching water from the slope once a day, and all the water in her home, such as eating, drinking, washing, etc., has been replaced by well water, and no longer uses the river water at the edge of the village.

It seems that everyone expects a miracle to happen to grandma.

My grandmother's body was still weak, and her cough didn't seem to have lessened.

However, the injuries of Zhang Cai, Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu are getting better day after day. Especially Zhang Xiaolong, when he went to the veterinarian Lao Chen for the first time to change the dressing, Lao Chen almost didn't believe his eyes, he looked and looked, touched and touched, zuihou in front of the facts, he had to believe that Zhang Xiaolong was really more than half better, the broken bone was about to heal, he completely ignored Guo Sufei's joyful thanks, hurriedly sent them away, ran into his pharmacy, prepared him haode, only used Zhang Xiaolong once The wound medicine carefully preserved, and he was secretly proud, who said that he could only be a veterinarianIt seems that I have to change my profession another day and open a miracle doctor in the lively area of Lu Town.

Not to mention the veterinarian Lao Chen's cranky thoughts, the Zhang family's family, seeing Zhang Xiaolong's injury so quickly, was happy in their hearts, and they knew more and more that it was the credit of the well water, and the grandmother learned that her grandson's arm had healed, and her mood was also exceptionally good, and her face was smiling like a ju-flower, and her cough was light, and the family laughed and laughed very happily.

As for Liu Qian, she doesn't know what kind of mood she is in. Just saw Zhang Xiaolong come back without a splint, she was very surprised, and she was happy with everyone, but after a while, it was a burst of loss, she tried her best to avoid this emotion, and did not admit her thoughts, but she knew that she really liked this family and Zhang Xiaolong. She didn't want to leave here and go back to her own home, is her home bad? She asked herself, the answer is no, she also likes her home, but it seems that the feeling of her home is different from the feeling here, what is the difference?

Perhaps, it's Zhang Xiaolong.

However, Zhang Xiaolong's injuries are healed, so why do you have to stay here?
