In the light of the burning fire, two young figures, a man and a woman, disappeared at the entrance of the village accompanied by the curse of the old witch.
When I think back many years later, I still remember clearly why I agreed to Awen to take her out. If I still had a choice, I might not agree...
It was still dark before dawn. After Awen helped me leave the village, I was already in a semi-conscious state. Later, I vaguely felt that she was leading me to the town overnight.
From the village to the town, the mountain road is rugged, and most people have to walk for more than two hours, and it was midnight at that time. I don’t know where the petite Awen got the perseverance to half-carry me to the town.
and found a doctor for me.
…………
…………
I was lying on the bed in a somewhat shabby hotel room in the town, too weak to even speak.
I looked at the doctor at the head of the bed who looked thoughtful, while Awen stood nervously next to me. I knew that this was the fifth doctor she had called. The first four were all helpless and even died.
He ran away without saying anything.
After a while, the fifth doctor suddenly sighed, shook his head, stood up, picked up the medicine box, and left.
Awen quickly stopped him and said, "Doctor, how is his condition?"
The doctor took one look at me and said: "The wound is very suppurative and infected, and it is also quite toxic. I have no choice but to go to a big hospital..."
"Doctor, where is the big hospital in this town? Even if you want to go to the city, you won't be able to get through it all at once. Please ask the doctor to help save him. I beg you, doctor..." Awen said and knelt down.
The doctor will not be allowed to leave until life or death.
The doctor couldn't help but sigh, "Girl, what's your relationship? If it's just friends, you'd better find his family members and make plans in advance."
Awen bit her lip and said: "He is my husband, and I am his family member. Please ask the doctor for help, don't worry about money..."
A-wen turned her back, secretly took off her bracelet and gave it to the doctor. I remember that the bracelet was a gift from the old bald man, and it was quite valuable, but A-wen took it off without hesitation.
"Doctor, please..."
When the doctor saw the bracelet, his eyes suddenly lit up. He immediately put it away and said, "Girl, since you are so sincere, I don't want to leave you alone. There is too much pus in the wound on your husband's shoulder.
Don’t dare to move at all. I can help you find someone with better medical skills. This bracelet is just for the introduction..."
The shameless doctor left after saying this. He was very happy. When Awen wanted to say something more, I stopped her and said, "Awen, don't bother. Is there any good doctor in this town? My own injury
You know it yourself.”
"No, I can't watch you die. In order to save me..."
"I'm fine. You must have been exhausted from finding a doctor for me these past two days. Go and rest."
"I am not tired."
Awen took the initiative to sit by the bed and looked at me, her little face full of worry, but as soon as I looked at her, she immediately lowered her head in shyness...
I asked on a whim: "I'm curious, you're already married, why are you still so shy?"
"I have been shy since I was a child."
"I see that you are not only shy but also easy to bully. That old witch scolded you and beat you. You are just like a piece of wood."
Awen lowered her head and said weakly: "They gave my family so much money, so they should beat me and scold me."
"Then the old witch scolded you for not giving them a son? Is that true?" I asked.
Awen hesitated for a moment, then said with a face as red as blood: "No, it's none of my business, it's her son..."
Awen was so shy that she couldn't continue talking. When I heard this, my heart suddenly moved.
Yes, it was the reason for the little bald head. I thought about how sinful this little bald man’s family was. They married such a beautiful daughter-in-law, but their son turned out to be an incompetent person. This was completely beyond my expectation.
It’s no wonder that Awen’s face turned red when she saw me. It turned out that she was really untouched.
…………
…………
After chatting with Awen for a while, she gradually became less restrained towards me. Later, I fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, I saw that the doctor who had left before had walked in with a sloppy old man. After saying a few words to Awen, he left the old man and left in a hurry.
The old man lay on the table and fell asleep. Awen beside him was so worried that he was helpless. Before leaving, the doctor told me that the old man could cure my injuries, but after looking at it for a long time, the old man smelled of alcohol.
I felt like the snoring was like thunder, and looking at his clothes that were no different from those of a tramp, he didn't look like a doctor.
I waved my hand and said feebly: "Awen, take ten yuan and send this old man away. You don't have to go to any doctor in the future. I know my disease myself."
"But……"
"No need to, just send him out. We think it's probably the doctor who played a trick. When my injury heals, I won't beat him." I consoled him.
Awen nodded and said hello, but before she could help the sloppy old man, the confused old man suddenly sneered: "Hey, the corpse poison has spread to half of the body. It's good to live for another three to five days. It's okay."
Expecting to teach others a lesson?"
When the old man said this, my body suddenly shook violently!
Awen was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down on the ground and begged: "Old sir, please save Hua Fan, please..."
The old man opened his eyes lazily, took out a small wine bottle from his pocket, took a sip, and showed an expression of extra enjoyment.
Awen begged and begged on the side, but the old man didn't take it seriously.
Seeing this, I became more and more unhappy and said, "Awen, don't beg him. I want to save you or not. My life is my own. I'm not so humble as to beg for help."
The old man laughed, then narrowed his eyes and said to me: "Hey, my life is not that great, but my mouth is quite tough."
"It's because I have a bad fate that I know how to be stronger than anyone else." I said.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad. The corpse poison has penetrated into the bones. You can still speak so harshly. What a man..." The old man rolled his eyes and continued: "Old man, I have a rule. Unless it is a difficult or complicated disease, it will not be treated, and it will not be treated unless the person is critically ill.
If you don’t want medical treatment, you are lucky to have met me, the old man, today.”
"There's so much nonsense, I don't even look at the patient, I just talk like someone pouring beans out of a bamboo tube." I really don't have much trust in this kind of barefoot medical practitioner, let alone a sloppy person who smells of alcohol and always smiles playfully.
Old man, the wound on my shoulder was bitten by a rice dumpling. I have an idea of the severity of the injury. Ordinary doctors can't save it at all.
After I finished speaking, the old man looked at me and took a sip of the wine. Then he walked up to me, opened his mouth and spit the wine onto my shoulder.
As soon as the hot drink touched my wound, it was so irritating that I couldn't help but howl in anger.
Before I could curse, the sloppy old man turned away and said lazily: "It's really strange. The corpse poison obviously invades three parts of your bones, but it's just a hair away from your internal organs... It's not difficult to survive.
Treat the symptoms first and then the root cause.”
"speak English."
"As the saying goes, scrape off the corpse poison from your bones first. This is treatment. The last bit of corpse poison that has entered your bones is the root, and special methods must be used to treat it."
"What can I do?" I asked.
The sloppy old man squinted his eyes and ignored me. Instead, he looked at Awen aside and said, "Girl, who are you, this kid?"
Awen hesitated for a moment, but still bit her lip and said: "He is my husband..."
"Oh? Really your husband?"
"Um."
The sloppy Latou said with a smile: "Then the poisonous root will be cured. Maybe, with good luck, I can cure the disease and create a baby at the same time..."
