Chapter 32 Well Water

Zhang Cai said: "It's definitely not ginseng. I only saw that thing in a medical clinic when I was young. Since I arrived in Guozhuang, I haven't had the chance to see it again."

Everyone became more and more strange, what could be possible? 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 exhausted physically and mentally after a busy day, and they were already exhausted, so everyone dispersed.

Zhang Xiaohua tiptoed back to her grandmother's hut. Her grandmother was already sound asleep. Although she coughed softly from time to time, she was tired after all, so she still slept deeply and did not notice the movement of Xiaohua entering the house. Zhang Xiaohua got into her bed and listened to her grandmother's suppressed coughing and intermittent breathing. She felt very sad. She couldn't help but think of her grandmother's kindness to her. Bits and pieces from when she could remember kept flashing in her mind. On weekdays, When I was fine, I didn't realize how deep my feelings were for my grandmother. But now, I found that my memory of my grandmother was deeply engraved in my mind. There were so many, so detailed, and I couldn't forget even a single bit. .

As he thought about it, Zhang Xiaohua shed tears. The tears flowed down his face and fell on the pillow. Gradually, he fell asleep, and Zhang Xiaohua's twinkling dream came as expected.

Zhang Xiaohua in the dream seemed to be living in a breathing, regular flickering world. His breathing, his body, and everything about him also followed this flickering, flashing unconsciously, gradually becoming more and more in tune with the world. Dissolve into one.

The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into her grandmother's cabin, Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes on time, and the same twinkle in her 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 quickly got up, 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, blowing Grandma's white hair was dancing in the sun, and Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were blurry.

He hurried over and said to his grandmother: "Grandma, please go back to the house quickly. The wind is very cold this morning. Your health is not good. You must not come out in the morning."

Grandma's hand fumbled to find Zhang Xiaohua's head, and she caressed her lovingly and said, "Xiaohua, grandma is old and sleepy. She has been unable to fall asleep for a long time. Come out for some air and go back now, okay?"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything, just silently helped her grandma back to the warm hut.

After coming out of the hut, Zhang Xiaohua still looked at the rising sun on the horizon. Suddenly she remembered what happened a few days ago, so she made the same gesture of biting the sun. Sure enough, this time she still felt a stream of heat entering her throat. Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. Could it be that Isn't it your own illusion? His eyes rolled around a few times. Could it be that this was the "Tengu eating the sun"? Could it be that he had become a Tengu? After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of a reason, so I shook my head and stopped thinking about it. I was just going to take a bite like this every morning and see what happens in the end.

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

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

Everyone was stunned, and Zhang Cai asked in confusion: "What does grandma eat?"

Liu Qian smiled and said, "It was just yesterday. Didn't the doctor tell me about grandma eating ginseng?"

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

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

"Drink?" When Zhang Xiaolong heard the word "drink", he looked at Zhang Xiaohua and seemed to understand something.

Zhang Xiaohu hadn't finished his meal yet. He stared blankly at the gruel in the bowl in his hand and said blankly: "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? However, the doctor said that he only ate it recently. He used to drink a little bit of the well water on this slope occasionally. . Since I came here, I have consumed a lot of well water. Especially my grandma, who only recently liked to drink tea made from well water. We only started using well water for meals recently! From a time perspective, this is the only one. Well water meets this condition."

Guo Sufei patted her head and said, "It's true. Yesterday I was only thinking about eating, not drinking. What Liu Qian said is so right."

Zhang Cai said, "I believe that ginseng can nourish my mother's body. This water, no matter how good it is, is just water. Can it be used as a tonic?" He asked Liu Qian doubtfully.

Liu Qian didn't know how to answer, so she said, "Uncle, I don't know about this. How about we bring a pot of water to the medical center in town and let them take a look?"

Guo Sufei said: "Well, okay, how about asking Xiaohu to take a pot with him and run to town to let the doctor take a look."

Zhang Xiaohu said excitedly: "Okay, I'll eat and prepare right away. My injury is almost healed. It's no problem for me to go for a run."

Zhang Xiaohua also said: "I will go to fetch water right away. I also want to go to town with my second brother."

After saying that, he was ready to run up the slope.

Just then, Zhang spoke up and said, "No, don't go!"

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

Zhang Cai saw that everyone was very strange and said with a wry smile: "Have you forgotten Mr. Wu from the neighboring village?"

Suddenly, Liu Qian and Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized, but the others were still confused. Zhang Xiaohu said curiously: "Dad, of course we know about Mr. Wu. He was killed by bandits because he dug up the treasure."

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

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

Zhang Cai then said: "What if it is?"

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

Seeing that everyone was still a little confused, Liu Qian explained: "What the uncle means is this. If the well water is precious and the doctor in the town finds out, that would be a big deal. The well is full of ginseng. This is It's much more precious than Mr. Wu's box of jewelry. If the bandits find out, why don't they come to kill people and grab water? And the water from this well is no longer in our yard. It's far away on the hillside. We can't just say it's ours. Got it, let's all come to fetch water. Should we let people fetch water or not? Everyone has fetched it. What will grandma drink? What she fears most is that it will be occupied by powerful people and no one can fetch it. "

Only then did everyone understand.

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

Liu Qian said with a smile: "Let's not go to the hospital with this water. The doctor will tell us whether it can be seen or whether the doctor can tell. Even if the water from the well is useless, we don't know whether 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 use it to cook?”

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, and it may even kill her."

Guo Sufei quickly said: "Liu Qian is right, we can't go to the town to find a doctor. Moreover, everyone must keep the well water secret and never tell it."

Everyone nodded together.

As Zhang Xiaohua went to fetch water, she shook her head and murmured to herself: "In this world, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be. You have to protect yourself first in everything you do. It's really hard to be a human being."

From that day on, Zhang Xiaohua fetched water from the slope one more time every day. All the water used at home, for food, drinking, washing, etc., was replaced by well water instead of water from the river near the village.

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

Grandma was still weak and her cough didn’t seem to be getting better.

However, Zhang Cai, Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu's injuries improved rapidly day after day. Especially Zhang Xiaolong, when he went to the veterinarian Lao Chen to change the dressing for the first time, Lao Chen almost didn't believe his eyes. He looked and looked and touched again and again. Finally, in the face of the facts, he had to believe that Zhang Xiaolong really His body was more than half healed, and the broken bones were about to heal. He ignored Guo Sufei's many thanks and hurriedly sent them away, then ran into his pharmacy and prepared the mixture for Zhang Xiaolong only. The wound medicine that had been used once was carefully preserved, and I was secretly proud of myself. Who said that I could only be a veterinarian? This is the first time I have prepared the wound medicine and it has this effect. Could it be that I still have the potential to be a miracle doctor? It seems that I have to change my career someday and open a miracle doctor's clinic in a busy area of ​​Lu Town. With this magical medicine, wouldn't I make a lot of money?

Not to mention the random thoughts of the veterinarian Lao Chen, the whole Zhang family was happy to see Zhang Xiaolong's injury healed so quickly. They also knew more and more that it was the credit of the well water. Grandma learned that her grandson's arm had recovered. My mood is also very good, my face is smiling like a jujube, my cough is relieved, and the whole family is laughing and celebrating.

As for Liu Qian, she didn't know what she was feeling. When she saw Zhang Xiaolong come back without splinting, she was extremely surprised. She was happy along with everyone, but after a while, she felt a sense of loss. She tried her best to avoid this emotion and refused to admit her 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 good? 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's Zhang Xiaolong.

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