Chapter 37: Parting to Tell the Big Secret

Erhu hurriedly jumped off the horse and said sadly: "The younger brother just came out of your house, and your eldest mother was injured by the bandits. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Dahu hurriedly ran to the carriage, and saw the old lady in the arms of an old woman on the carriage, so he cried out in a lost voice: "Mother! Mother, wake up, wake up, wake up......"

However, his mother was still asleep......

Erhu's mother was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhao Dahu, and suddenly her heart moved, as if she had an indescribable sense of intimacy, she asked: "Your mother seems to have suffered internal injuries, and there is a lot of blood in her mouth." Do you have a doctor in this tunzi?"

Zhao Dahu glanced at Erhu's mother, and seemed to suddenly have a trace of inexplicable feelings and a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't express it, he shook his head and said: "If it's an internal injury, there's no way but to take care of it slowly." How did my mother get hurt?"

Erhu told Zhao Dahu about the encounter with the bandits.

The big tiger gritted his teeth and said: "You old thief who is not trustworthy, you actually injured my mother again, and took away my wife Xinghua, I must have killed him with my own hands!"

Erhu said: "The most important thing at the moment is to treat the eldest mother!"

"You should immediately pull my mother to my house, and I will go to the old man Dequan to see what he can do. Dahu said and hurriedly found someone.

The second tiger and the three personal soldiers drove the cart back to Zhao's house, carried the big tiger girl onto the kang, covered him with a quilt, and gave him a sip of water.

The big tiger girl slowly woke up, and said intermittently: "What did the big tiger do, I'm about to die." I have something to say to my son. ”

The mother of the second tiger squatted beside the big tiger lady, put a towel on her injured back, and said, "Sister-in-law." Your injury is not a big deal, your son will come back in a while, let him find some red wound medicine in Tunzi, and apply it to his back, and it will be fine. ”

The big tiger lady asked: "Big sister, you see that you patronized me and said that I was sick, and I forgot to introduce you, you are the mother of the second tiger, right?"

Erhu's mother shed tears. sighed and said, "Old sister-in-law, I am the wife of the second tiger, I just want to come and see the apricot blossoms." But I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, it's really unfortunate, those damned bandits in the mountain bag are really evil, and they hurt you. Xinghua was also scared away. What's the hell with that?"

Da Hu Niang's illness seemed to have improved, and her complexion was significantly better, she sat up against the quilt, looked around the room, felt that she was on her own kang, and asked, "What about my son, hasn't he come back yet?"

"He went out and got someone to see you. ”

"Oh, he'll be back in a minute. I have something to say to him. ”

"Is your Zhao family the landlord of this tunzi?"

"No, we fled from Shandong. It was fifteen years ago in the summer. My husband and I walked to this place from the south......" Suddenly, she gasped for breath and stopped talking.

Erhu's mother gently patted her on the back and said, "Old sister-in-law, don't say it, don't be tired, take a good rest." ”

Erhu Niang closed her eyes and stopped talking, in fact, she was saving her strength, waiting for her son to come back, and then tell her the secret she had hidden in her heart for fifteen years.

At this time, Dahu led three or five neighbors, including Mr. Gao Dequan, Uncle Liu, and Aunt Liu, into the house. Everyone hurriedly checked the injury of the big tiger girl, the old man Gao Dequan knew a little medicine, he said after reading it: "The back of the big tiger girl was hit by an iron fan of a mountain bag, this appearance is irrelevant, since she vomited blood, she must have suffered internal injuries!"

The old man Gao Dequan said, walked off the kang, called Zhao Dahu and whispered: "Go to Lucao County, go to the "Jishi Chinese Medicine Hall" to grab a few pairs of Chinese medicine for internal injuries, maybe there is still salvation." ”

"Huh?" Dahu was blindfolded when he heard this, tears fell, and he choked up and said, "Is my mother beaten so badly?

Erhu came over and said, "Brother Zhao, you take care of the eldest mother at home, I will send someone immediately." After that, he called two pro-soldiers, took out more than a dozen pieces of ocean from his pocket, handed them to the pro-soldiers, and said: "You two ride fast horses, immediately go to Lucao County to buy medicine, save people is important, go and go back quickly!"

"Yes!" the two soldiers agreed, and flew away......

At this time, the big tiger lady seemed to have heard their conversation, opened her eyes and said, "Child, don't bother, I can't get better from this illness." ”

The big tiger ran over and shouted, "Mother, you're fine, you'll be fine!" I've gone to buy you medicine. ”

The big tiger lady shook her head: "Don't go, it's useless...... Son, come here, my mother has something to tell you. Tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes, and there seemed to be too many entanglements in her heart, so she sighed and said, "Child, my mother is about to die......"

"Mother......"

"Auntie......"

"Big Tiger ......"

"Old Zhao's sister-in-law......"

The people all called out to the old lady, and the big tiger fell on his mother's body and wept bitterly. The big tiger lady paused, seemed to accumulate some strength, and said intermittently: "Child...... You're not your mother and your father's own son......"

"Huh?" the people all looked at the big tiger lady in surprise.

The big tiger said: "Mother, what are you talking about? I am your own son! Are you confused by the bandits?"

The big tiger lady continued: "No, my mother can see the mirror in her heart. When you were five years old, your mother and your father walked to this big meadow in Kanto, in a ...... On a hill to the north of a hill called Little Lonely Mountain, I saw a little boy of five or six years old, with a small red hood on his body, and a small piece of polished bone tied around his neck, and a three-character character was engraved on the bone. It's just that your father and I don't know how to read, and we don't know what to write...... When the child saw me and your father, he cried as soon as he heard it, I have been married to your father for three or four years, and I didn't have any children, so I took the child away...... We saved the child's life with half a large cake, and then we came to this happy tun and settled down. Who doesn't know that this child was picked up. Hey, at that time, the war was chaotic, we poor people could afford to have children, and we couldn't support them, so we must have thrown away the children because they were afraid that they couldn't support them, so that the children would grow up and recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, so they left a bone mark on their neck......"

At this time, everyone present knew that the old lady was about to die, and they all wanted to find out Zhao Dahu's life experience while the old lady understood, but at this time, the old lady stopped talking again......

Erhu's mother looked extremely excited, her eyes were full of eyes, she stood up blankly, looked at Erhu, and then looked at Dahu, and suddenly remembered that fifteen years ago, on a very hot day, she held a five-year-old son in her arms, followed her husband into the back of Xiaogu Mountain, and put her dead son into the grass at the foot of the mountain......
