The Complete Works of the Tomb, Part Two: Exploring the Qinling Mountains 222
"Is it true?" I said deliberately pretending not to believe it.
"You don't believe it? Go to the west end of the village and ask that old man Huangtou. He is currently retiring at home!" The left-handed man immediately became anxious when he heard what I said, and then argued.
"Haha, I believe it, I believe it, can I still not believe it, brother? By the way, I just heard you say that the captain of the mountain patrol team here has some kind of uncle. What is he like?" I took a look.
This left-handed man drank a little too much. I became anxious when I said I didn't believe what they said. In fact, people in the mountains are like this. They are generally simple and straightforward in character.
"Well, yes, he is also the village chief. What are you asking him for?" The thin man said while holding the wine glass and pouring it into his mouth.
"Oh, it's like this. If we set up a herbal medicine base in other woods nearby, wouldn't we have to deal with them? I just want to know what kind of person he is first, so that I can be more prepared when interacting with him.
"I said quickly while pouring wine for the thin man.
"Uncle Mu, this man is a real and honest man. We herb collectors have benefited from him a lot in the mountains. He even saved my life. But for such a good man, life is miserable..."
The black face took my words and sighed.
"Oh, what's wrong?" I asked quickly as soon as I heard it.
"He lost his wife in his later years, leaving only one son to depend on him. However, this son contracted uremia six months ago. Alas... In rural areas, getting such a disease is a death sentence..." Lefty quickly added.
"Hey...it's like this, life is miserable!" When I heard this situation, I immediately felt a little sympathy for Uncle Mu.
"Yes, Uncle Mu is living a hard life now. I heard that he is raising money for his son's medical treatment." The thin man sighed.
"A kidney transplant costs one or two hundred thousand yuan. In the past few days, I heard that he had borrowed ten thousand or two thousand yuan, and then sent his son to the city for conservative treatment today, but this is just a drop in the bucket.
" said Lefty.
"But I heard from people in their village in the past two days that Uncle Mu is planning to sell his own kidney and save his son... Hey, why do good people always get nothing in return?" Black Face was also sighing beside him.
When I heard this, I immediately trembled in my heart. I really didn't expect that Uncle Mu's family would be so difficult. Suddenly, Uncle Mu gradually became clearer in my mind, especially when I heard that Uncle Mu was going to sell himself to save his son.
When I received my kidney, I became even more certain that this Uncle Mu was an honest and real person. He must have been instructed or coerced by someone to hide something from us.
I believe that as long as I understand it with emotion and reason, he should be able to tell me what he knows about the real situation, but I also know that it is not appropriate to go to Uncle Mu now. I have to wait until Liu Ming comes back to talk about this matter.
