Chapter 32 Well Water

Zhang Cai said: "It's definitely not ginseng. I only saw that thing in other people's medical clinics when I was young. Since I arrived in Guozhuang, I have never had the chance to see it again."

Everyone is getting more and more strange, what can there be? On weekdays, everyone eats in the same pot, and what they eat is farm food, nothing special.

Everyone was puzzled.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei had been busy all day, and they were exhausted physically and mentally. They were already 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, she was tired after all, she still slept deeply, she didn't notice the movement of Xiaohua entering the room. Zhang Xiaohua got into her bed and listened to her grandma's suppressed coughing and intermittent breathing. She felt very sad. She couldn't help but think of how kind her grandma was to her. Little things from what she remembered kept flashing in her mind. When I was fine, I didn't feel how deep my feelings for my grandma were. At this moment, I found that the memories of my grandma were deeply engraved in my mind. There are so many, so detailed, and I can't forget a single bit of it. .

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua shed tears, the tears flowed down her face and fell on the pillow, gradually, he fell asleep, Zhang Xiaohua's flickering dream came as expected.

Zhang Xiaohua in the dream is like living in a breathing, regular flickering world, his breathing, his body, everything about him also flickers with this kind of flickering, unconsciously flickering, and gradually follows this world Melt into one.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into grandma's hut, Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes on time, and the twinkle 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 or breathe. He got up quickly, but found that his grandmother was not in the house. When he got up and walked outside, he saw his grandmother sitting on a chair in the yard. The morning wind was still very cold. Grandma's white hair fluttered in the sun, and Zhang Xiaohua's eyes blurred.

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

Grandma's hand groped to find Zhang Xiaohua's head, and lovingly stroked and said, "Xiaohua, grandma is older and less sleepy, she can't fall asleep for a long time, come out to get some air, then go back, okay?"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't say a word, but silently helped grandma back to the warm hut.

Coming out of the hut, Zhang Xiaohua still looked at the rising sun in the sky, and suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, so she also made a movement of biting the sun, as expected, this time she still felt a heat flow into her throat, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, could it be Is it not my own illusion? His eyes rolled around a few times, could it be that this is "Tengu Eats the Sun", could it be that he has become a Tengu? After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't figure out why, so I shook my head, no longer thinking about it, just preparing to take a bite like this every morning, and see what happens in the end.

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

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was about to go out, Liu Qian who was cleaning up the dishes shouted, "I know what grandma ate."

Everyone was taken aback, Zhang Cai asked in bewilderment, "What does grandma eat?"

Liu Qian smiled and said, "It was just yesterday, didn't the doctor talk about grandma eating ginseng?"

Only then did Zhang Cai suddenly realize, and Zhang Xiaolong said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what did grandma eat?" Zhang Xiaohua also stopped in her tracks.

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

"Drink?" Zhang Xiaolong looked at Zhang Xiaohua when he heard the word "drink", as if he understood something.

Zhang Xiaohu hadn't finished his meal yet, he stared blankly at the gruel in his hand, and said in a daze, "That's it? Is it ginseng? It's unlikely."

Liu Qian saw that everyone was puzzled,

He explained: "Look, everyone, didn't we think about it for a long time last night, and didn't think of anything special? But, the doctor said that it was eaten recently, and the well water on this slope used to be drunk occasionally. Yes. Since I came here, this well water has been used in large quantities, especially my grandma, who only recently likes to drink tea made from well water, and the well water we use for meals has only recently started! From the perspective of time, this is the only one. Well water meets this requirement."

Guo Sufei patted herself on the head, and said: "It's true, I only thought about eating yesterday, but didn't think about drinking it. What Liu Qian said is really right."

But Zhang Cai said: "It is said that ginseng can nourish my mother's body, but I believe it. No matter how good this water is, it is just water. Can it be taken as a tonic?" He asked Liu Qian suspiciously.

Liu Qian didn't know how to answer, so she said, "Uncle, I don't know about this, how about we fetch a pot of water and send it to the medical clinic in the town so they can have a look?"

Guo Sufei said: "Well, okay, why not let Xiaohu bring a pot for a while, go to the town, and let the doctor have a look."

Zhang Xiaohu said excitedly: "Okay, I'll eat and prepare right away, and my injury is almost healed, so it's no problem to run for a while."

Zhang Xiaohua also said: "I'm going to fetch water right away, and I also want to go to town with my second brother."

After speaking, I was ready to run to the slope.

At this moment, Zhang Cai spoke up. He said, "No, don't go!"

Everyone was stunned again, Guo Sufei said: "The head of the family, what do you mean? Why don't you let Xiaohu and the others go?"

Seeing that everyone was surprised, Zhang Cai said with a wry smile, "Have you forgotten Mr. Wu from the neighboring village?"

Immediately, Liu Qian and Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized, while the others were still confused, Zhang Xiaohu wondered: "Father, of course we know about Mr. Wu, because he was killed by bandits because he dug it into a treasure."

Zhang Cai said, "Is our well water precious?"

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

Zhang Cai then said, "If so?"

Zhang Xiaohu was speechless and didn't know how to speak.

Seeing that everyone was still a little confused, Liu Qian explained: "Uncle means this. If the well water is treasure and the doctor in the town knows it, it will be a big deal. The well is full of ginseng. It is much more precious than Mr. Wu's box of jewels. If the bandits know about it, why don't they come to kill people and grab water? Besides, the well water is not in our yard anymore, it is far away on the hillside, so we can't just say it belongs to us. Got it, we all come to fetch water, shall we let people beat us or not? If everyone beats us up, what does grandma drink? The most fearful thing is to be taken over by powerful people, and no one can beat us? "

Only then did everyone understand.

Zhang Xiaolong asked again: "If the doctor is not allowed to see it, we don't know if this well water is useful to grandma?"

Liu Qian said with a smile: "Let's not talk about whether we take this water to the medical clinic, whether the doctor will show us, or whether the doctor can see it. Even if the well water is useless, we don't know if the water is good for grandma. It is useful to our body, and there is no loss to us, don't we still have to drink this water and cook with this water?"

Then, Liu Qian said seriously: "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, or even kill her."

Guo Sufei hurriedly said: "Liu Qian is right, we can't go to the town to find a doctor. Besides, we must keep the matter of the well water a secret, please don't let it out."

Everyone nods together.

Zhang Xiaohua shook her head while fetching water, muttering to herself: "In this world, people's hearts are not ancient. No matter what you do, you must protect yourself first. It's really hard to be a human being."

From this day on, Zhang Xiaohua fetches water from the slope every day. All the water in the house, such as eating, drinking, washing, etc., is replaced by well water instead of the river water near the village.

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

Grandma's body is still weak, and her cough doesn't seem to have eased.

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 to change his dressing for the first time, Lao Chen could hardly believe his eyes. More than half of them were already healed, and the broken bones were about to heal. Regardless of Guo Sufei's joyful thank you, he sent them away in a hurry, and ran into his pharmacy to prepare him, only for Zhang Xiaolong. I carefully kept the wound medicine I used once, and I was still secretly proud of myself. Who said that I can only be a veterinarian? This is the first time that the wound medicine has this effect. Is it possible that I still have the potential of a genius doctor? It seems that one day I have to change my career and open a miracle doctor clinic in a busy area of ​​Lu Town. With this magical medicine for wounds, wouldn't I make a fortune?

Not to mention the wild thoughts of the veterinarian Chen, the members of the Zhang family were very happy to see that Zhang Xiaolong recovered from his injury so quickly, and knew more and more that it was due to the well water. Grandma learned that her grandson's arm had healed, The mood is also very good, the smile on the face is like a jujube, the cough is also light, and the family's laughter is very festive.

As for Liu Qian, she didn't know what mood she was in. Just seeing Zhang Xiaolong came back without a splint, she was very pleasantly surprised, and was happy with everyone, but after a while, there was a burst of disappointment. She tried her best to avoid this kind of emotion and refused to admit her own thoughts, but she knew , she really likes this family and Zhang Xiaolong. She doesn't want to leave here and go back to her own home, isn't her own 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 specific difference?

Maybe it was Zhang Xiaolong.

However, Zhang Xiaolong's injury has healed, so what reason does he have to stay here?
