I just want to practice horizontally - Chapter 20

[Chapter 20 The Story in the Twentieth Corner (2)]

With the money in hand, the doctor left, agreeing to come back tomorrow with medicine.

The space shattered, and dazzling white light filled the world.

When he opened his eyes again, it was another scene.

Squeak, squeak, squeak…

the night is as cool as water, and the insects are chirping happily.

Above the deep blue sky, the bright moon hung high.

Courtyard, under the trees.

A family of three, stone table, food.

Bowls and chopsticks clashed, but no one spoke.

The doctor who came back from Chenjiaxiang looked at his son who was immersed in eating food, with clear slap marks on his face and cracked corners of his mouth. He was in a daze.

Chen Laizi, who is not lame…

looked at the young man who still showed heroic spirit. Jiang Wuye was filled with emotions, and it was difficult to put him together with that crazy figure.

“Hey, I went to the next village to see a doctor today. I accidentally saw a little daughter-in-law taking a shower and got slapped twice.”

As if he noticed his father’s gaze, Chen Laizi’s eyes flashed with panic, he raised his head and joked with a playful smile.

No one laughed.

Bang –

the bowl hit the table hard.

The woman looked sad, stood up and left without saying a word.

“Haha…”

Chen Laizi laughed dryly. Seeing his father’s eyes staring at the dinner table, his face darkened. He raised his spirits and asked: “Dad, how is Xiaofeng’s illness? They are all from this family, although they are not here

. It’s an alley, but we should pay more attention if we can help.

I read in a medical book today that this disease is not difficult, as long as…” “

Are you teaching me?”

Father Chen put down the bowl and chopsticks and stared at him with displeasure. Chen Laizi is no longer as kind as he was during the day.

“I just…”

“I taught you everything you know, and I wrote the medical books. What tone are you talking to me now?” “

Dad, I didn’t mean that.”

“Today, those people are here again Already?”

“Well, just outside the village…”

The atmosphere was suddenly silent.

Chen Laizi stared blankly at Father Chen, whose face was gradually turning gloomy. After a few seconds, he lowered his head like a deflated ball.

silence.

Hua La La –

the night breeze blows, and the leaves of the old branches in the courtyard are undulating.

After a few minutes, Father Chen’s expression softened. His tone was serious:

“You don’t have to worry about this in the future. In the past few days, you went to dangerous places in the mountains to collect medicines and sell them in the town under the pretext of seeing a doctor. Do you think I don’t know? How many lives do you have?” “But…”

Bang

!

The bowl was smashed with great force.

“I haven’t fallen down yet, so it’s not your turn to worry about it!”

Chen Laizi lowered his head and remained silent.

“Noise, noisy, noisy! If you have the guts to argue with those evil spirits! There is a tiger at home and a sick cat outside, wuwu… I am really unlucky for eight lifetimes by marrying you!” A woman’s crying voice came from the house

.

“If you can’t pass, get out of here. Get out as far as you can!”

Ping Pong –

a table full of bowls and chopsticks was thrown to the ground.

Father Chen rolled up his sleeves and went out.

There were sobs in the room.

Jiang Wuye glanced at Chen Laizi who was silently squatting on the ground collecting dishes and chopsticks, then turned around and followed Chen’s father who was leaving.

That night ten years ago.

Jiang Wuye followed Chen’s father as he walked through the village. Along the way, he was surrounded by houses illuminated by stars. There were insects chirping in his ears, and the wind was blowing in the forest leaves in the distance.

A small village in the mountains at night, ordinary but full of vitality.

Chen’s father walked all the way through the main road in the village. He looked around at the entrance of the village and only strode out of the village when he saw no one.

Jiang Wuye seemed to have thought of something, narrowed his eyes, and quickly followed.

Wow –

several strong men jumped out of the trees on both sides of the road, crossed their arms and looked at the approaching father Chen with playful eyes.

“Why, old man Chen, are you going to visit relatives this late at night?”

“You are a doctor, so you must go see a doctor. Doctors are kind-hearted.”

“Hehehe…”

He was sarcastic without concealing it.

“Brothers…”

Father Chen stepped forward, bent over, took out the money bag from his chest and offered it to him. He said in a conciliatory manner: “Look, can you please extend it for a while? I will definitely pay back the full amount at the end of the month.” Come on.”

This money…

Jiang Wuye glanced at the money bag and confirmed that it came from the family in Chenjiaxiang.

Didn’t even change the bag.

But, without money, how can this old boy explain?

Ding-dong-dang-dang…

A man took the money bag and turned it around with a satisfied look on his face. Then he opened it and found that 90% of it was made of copper leaves, with a few pitiful silver leaves mixed in.

Bang –

an unexpected slap that threw Chen’s father to the ground on the spot.

“Bah!”

His big foot stepped on Chen’s father’s head as he tried to lift it up. The strong man spat on Chen’s father and cursed: “Chen, you’re f*c*king entertaining our brothers, aren’t you? Did you spend time in the place

? What I got was two bags of silver leaves worth three hundred cents each. Now I’m using these rags to make up for the money. Do you still want to show mercy?” He

seemed to be angry.

Several people punched and kicked Mr. Chen who was holding his head on the ground.

Under the tree, Jiang Wuye watched all this quietly without any disturbance in his heart.

Because he knew from the beginning that this was not time travel, everything was just a dream, and it was a foregone conclusion.

A few minutes later, Chen’s father was found on the ground with footprints all over his body, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and was extremely miserable.

Several people seemed to know the appropriateness and stopped when they saw this.

“Half a month, I only give you half a month! If you don’t pay back, your son will not be as simple as a slap in the face.”

He left a threat.

Several people put their arms around each other, teasing Father Chen, and gradually walked away.

Father Chen, grinning in pain, slowly got up, touched the tree trunk on the side, panted for a long time before he regained his composure, sat down again, and stared at the bright moon in the night sky in a daze.

“Half a month…half a month…”

After a while, he muttered three words in a daze, but the struggle in his eyes gradually turned into determination. He got up and limped towards the village. .

Jiang Wuye followed up step by step.

…

The night is deep.

The sneaky Father Chen appeared in Chenjiaxiang, turning his head three times at a time and groping into the alleyway.

After a while, I arrived in front of a house with an open door.

After looking around again to confirm that no one was there, Father Chen entered the courtyard.

When he reached a well in the yard, he stopped, took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms, hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and poured it all into the well.

This well…

Jiang Wuye looked at the well, and some dusty memories revived in his mind.

The seven or eight households in Chenjia Alley all get their daily drinking water from this well.

Now this old man is pouring medicine into it, and then think about the girl who was seriously ill during the day, and the debt collector outside the village.

It was obvious what he wanted to do.

“Don’t hate me… I really can’t help it. Don’t worry, I can cure this disease and it won’t really kill you.” After the

medicine was administered, Father Chen stood in front of the well and murmured softly, as if to comfort him. Others seem to comfort themselves.

Huh?

its not right!

Seeing this, doubts came to Jiang Wuye’s mind again.

Since this old man was sure to be cured, why did he even become infected later?

It was said in the village that it was Chen Laizi who saved the life, so what happened?

His medical skills came from Chen’s father. From the previous dialogue between father and son, it is obvious that he has not yet reached the point where he is better than his master.

If that’s the case, why is he curing the infected?

Various doubts came one after another, and Jiang Wuye stopped to think,

but time waited for no one.

At this moment, the dazzling white light reappeared.

The world is like a picture scroll, erased by a pair of invisible hands.

The scene changed again, and I returned to the familiar room again.

On the bed, the girl’s face was a little rosy, and the turbidity in her eyes had dissipated a lot. She was opening her mouth to drink the potion brought by her mother.

This medicine was naturally prepared by Father Chen.

As for the price…hehe.

“Old Chen, it’s all thanks to you this time. If anything happens in the future, I will never be vague.”

Seeing that his daughter was indeed showing signs of improvement, the man seemed to have lightened up a lot, and he thanked Chen’s father repeatedly.

“What are you talking about?” Chen’s father smiled and shook his head, and said with a look of compassion: “A doctor has a parent’s heart, and his duty lies there. After all, we are all from this family. If I don’t use all my knowledge and ability to save my daughter

, Is that still a human being?”

Pfft…

Jiang Wuye, who heard this in the room, inexplicably thought of the “miraculous doctor” who sold Xinfei Tutu Pills and Leek Elixir in his previous life.

While I admired his acting skills, I couldn’t help but shake my head and laugh.

Bang bang bang –

the door was suddenly knocked hard.

Before the three people in the room could ask, they were pushed away impatiently.

A sweaty little daughter-in-law rushed in, her eyes immediately locked on Father Chen, and she burst into tears and said: “Old Chen, come and see my child. He has been coughing up blood since he woke up this morning. I… Wuwu…”

“What?!”

Chen’s father looked “shocked” and rushed out of the door without asking.

The little daughter-in-law also wiped away her tears and went out crying.

“How…why does this look so similar to Xiaofeng before he fell ill?” The

remaining couple looked at each other, at their daughter on the bed, and then at the two people who were leaving quickly outside the door.

A feeling that something terrible was going on grew stronger in their hearts.

I overestimated myself and couldn’t bear it anymore.

Your life is at stake, so be honest and update first.

Sorry, everyone.
