Su Sanlang lowered his head, hiding the redness in his eyes. He was afraid that Mrs. Zhao would burst into tears when she saw him like this.
Old Man Wu is a doctor, and he has no shortage of food and clothing here. If he is willing to keep his children, then his children will have a way to live. No matter what, he must ask for something for his children.
The couple didn't speak anymore, they both worked in silence.
The family has been staying with Old Man Wu for five days. Su Sanlang's health is almost fully recovered, and it will be time to leave in two days.
Regarding this, the couple knew each other tacitly. They had each other in their eyes and were not afraid to leave. They just felt sorry for these children. Even if there was a slight possibility, they would seize any possible hope for their children.
Stewing duck is the same as stewing chicken. Mr. Wu's family doesn't lack anything. He stir-fries it first and then stews it. He puts some dried mushrooms in it. When the soup boils in the pot, the aroma wafts out.
As the sky got darker and the food was ready, Su Sanlang set the meal, and Mrs. Zhao went out to ask them to eat. Seeing her two sons diligently and obediently helping to grind the medicine, Mrs. Zhao felt warm in her heart.
When Old Man Wu saw Mrs. Zhao, he said calmly: "Is the meal ready?"
Ms. Zhao nodded: "Yeah."
Old man Wu didn't seem to want to talk to Mrs. Zhao anymore. When he knew the meal was ready, he clapped his hands and shouted to Su Chong and Su Hua: "Okay, okay, I won't do it today. I'll do it tomorrow when I have time. Let's eat first."
Su Chong and Su Hua were very well-behaved. Their eyes lit up when they heard that they were eating, but they still cleaned the medicine in the stone mill and packed it carefully as Old Man Wu taught them.
They do it slowly and well, and they can calm down and calm down even when they are hungry.
Old man Wu saw this and kept silent until everything was cleaned up before they went to the kitchen to eat together.
Even if Old Man Wu said nothing, Mrs. Zhao could feel that her two sons were very popular with Old Man Wu.
Su Sanmei hugged Su Xiaolu and sat and waited obediently in the kitchen. When old man Wu arrived, she stood up respectfully and said hello: "Hello, Grandpa Wu."
The little girl has a very sweet mouth.
Old man Wu nodded: "Let's eat."
The fragrant rice is just right, not too hard and not too soft, which shows that Zhao has mastered it well.
Duck soup, a pot full of meat, smells very fragrant.
It contains his own dried mushrooms, not to mention the smell.
Zhao's first bowl was naturally given to Old Man Wu. Old Man Wu was not polite and started eating as soon as he held it. At the same time, he gave the duck legs in the bowl to Su Chong and Su Hua.
"Eat quickly."
Old man Wu said calmly, and then he immersed himself in eating meat and soup.
A pot of meat, half of the meal was gone.
There was distress in Zhao's eyes. When Old Man Wu saw it, he just rolled his eyes. The young man was angry that he had never seen the world and had no future.
After finishing the meal, Su Sanlang helped Mrs. Zhao clean up the dishes.
Old man Wu has already returned to the house.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was almost dark after dinner, and there was nothing much to do, so I went to bed early after washing up.
At night, the family crowded into the same bed. The children were asleep, but the husband and wife were still awake.
It seemed to be extremely cold today. Mrs. Zhao sighed and said, "Daddy, it's getting cold. It should be snowing."
Su Sanlang responded softly: "Well, it's already November 12th, it's almost time for the snow to fall."
Su Sanlang knew that Mrs. Zhao was worried, so he couldn't help but reached out and patted Mrs. Zhao on the shoulder and said: "Go to bed quickly, it's getting late."
"Um."
Mrs. Zhao responded lightly, and the two of them didn't talk anymore. They seemed to have fallen asleep, but I don't know if they really fell asleep.
Neither of them mentioned this point. They were confused about the road ahead. They didn't really fall asleep after just saying "sleep". They just closed their eyes and let their thoughts wander around.
At this time, it was already snowing heavily outside the house.
Not long after, a layer of pure white was spread on the ground, and heavy snow was still falling. At this time, the village was quiet, and everyone fell asleep.
But I saw the trees in the quiet forest swaying, and some birds were frightened. It seemed like something came down from the forest and stumbled straight to the village.
Soon, there were loud calls for help.
…
Old Man Wu lived in the village. A figure ran towards him. He threw himself outside the yard and loudly knocked on the door and shouted: "Doctor Wu, help me. Doctor Wu, please get up and save people. Something happened. The big cat on the mountain is injured."
Someone is dead."
The visitor shouted so loudly outside that it woke up Old Man Wu, and Su Sanlang and his family as well.
Su Sanlang stood up and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Mother, please take the children to sleep. I'll go out to see if Dr. Wu needs any help. Don't worry, I'm already well."
With that said, Su Sanlang turned over and got out of bed.
Old man Wu also got up quickly. He went out with a medical kit on his back, his face was solemn, and he was not embarrassed when he saw Su Sanlang.
"It's so noisy."
When Old Man Wu passed by Su Sanlang to open the door, Su Sanlang heard him muttering angrily.
It's snowing outside and there's a cold phoenix. Of course I'm not happy to be woken up at this time.
Su Sanlang didn't say a word, he just followed Old Man Wu and stood behind him, waiting for his orders.
Old man Wu opened the door. He was a man from the village. His surname was Zhou and his name was Zhou Quan. He was about the same age as Su Sanlang. Su Sanlang knew him.
As soon as the door opened, Zhou Quan said hurriedly: "Doctor Wu, go to my house quickly. Two people were injured by the big cat and they are waiting for your help."
"Let's go, lead the way, Su Sanlang will help me carry the box."
Old man Wu said calmly, threw the medical box to Su Sanlang, and put his hand in his arms.
Zhou Quan was so eager to save people that he didn't have time to talk to Su Sanlang, so he took the lead and walked quickly.
He was still afraid that Old Man Wu wouldn't be able to keep up, but every time he looked back, Old Man Wu was following closely. His face was not red and he was in good spirits, but it was Su Sanlang who was panting and trotting after him.
When they arrived at Zhou's house, they could hear people screaming in pain, and a woman asked at a loss what to do: "Second uncle, what can I do?"
Zhou Quan shouted anxiously: "You don't understand, but you must not mess around. Go and boil the water. I've invited Doctor Wu."
With that said, Zhou Quan turned to Old Man Wu and said politely: "Doctor Wu, these two relatives of mine are hunters. This time the tiger was scratched. Please save them."
Old man Wu looked calm: "I can't guarantee it. I can only say that we will do our best. If you want to save people, you'd better hire someone else."
Old Man Wu won't spoil anyone, and he can't promise anyone.
He is also known for his bad temper. When he said this, Zhou Quan was speechless. He didn't dare to offend him and said quickly: "Doctor Wu, don't be angry. We all know what you said. Try your best to save people, try your best to save people, life or death."
It’s all God’s will and has nothing to do with Dr. Wu.”
