Chapter 32 Well Water
Chapter 32 Jingshui
Zhang Cai said: "It must not be ginseng. I just saw that thing in a clinic when I was young. Since I arrived in Guozhuang, I have never had the chance to see it again."
Everyone became more and more strange. What could it be? On weekdays, everyone eats in the same pot and eats farm meals, nothing special.
Everyone was puzzled.
Seeing that it was too late, Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei had been busy for a day, physically and mentally exhausted, and they had long been exhausted, so everyone left.
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 and still slept very heavily. She didn't notice the movement of Xiaohua entering the house. Zhang Xiaohua got into her bed and listened to her grandmother's suppressed cough and intermittent breathing. She felt very sad. She couldn't help but think of her grandmother's kindness to her. Every bit from what she could remember was constantly flashing in her mind. When she was fine on weekdays, she didn't feel how deep she had for her grandmother. At this moment, she actually found that her mind was deeply engraved with memories of her grandmother. There were so many, so thin that she could not forget a trace.
As he thought about it, Zhang Xiaohua shed tears, tears flowed across her face and slid onto the pillow. Gradually, he fell asleep, and Zhang Xiaohua's flashing dream came as expected.
Zhang Xiaohua in the dream is like living in a breathing and regular flashing world. His breathing, his body, and everything about him also follows this flashing, flashing unconsciously, gradually melting with this world.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into my grandmother's hut, Zhang Xiaohua opened her eyes on time, and the same flashes in her eyes flashed away.
The first thing Zhang Xiaohua did after opening her eyes was to listen to her grandmother's voice. However, she did not cough or breathe. He quickly got up, but found that her grandmother was not in the house. When he got up and walked outside the house, he saw her grandmother sitting on a chair in the yard. The morning wind was still very cold, and her white hair was blowing up in the sun, and Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were blurred.
He hurried over and said to his grandmother: "Grandma, please go back to the house quickly. The wind was very cold this morning, and your health was not good at all. Don't come out in the morning."
Grandma's hand groped to find Zhang Xiaohua's head, and stroked it lovingly and said, "Xiaohua, grandma is old and sleepy, so she can't sleep for a long time. Come out and have some breathing. Let's go back now, okay?"
Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything, but just silently helped her grandmother back to the warm hut.
After coming out of the hut, Zhang Xiaohua still looked at the rising sun in the sky. Suddenly, she remembered what happened a few days ago, so she also made a move to bite the sun. Sure enough, this time she still felt a heat flowing into her throat. Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. Could it be that he was his own illusion? His eyes rolled around a few times. Could it be that this is the "Tiangou Food Day". Could it be that he became a Tiangou? After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think about it. He shook his head and stopped thinking deeply. He just planned to take a bite like this every morning to see what was going on in the end.
After a simple breakfast, Zhang Xiaohua had to go to the slope to pick up spring water as usual.
Zhang Xiaohua was about to go out when Liu Qian, who was packing the dishes, shouted: "I know what grandma has eaten."
Everyone was stunned, and Zhang Cai asked in wonder: "What grandma eats what?"
Liu Qian smiled and said, "It was just yesterday. Didn't the doctor say that my grandmother was eating ginseng?"
Zhang Cai suddenly realized it, and Zhang Xiaolong said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what is grandma eating?" Zhang Xiaohua also stopped.
Liu Qian said mysteriously: "It should be said that grandma has drunk something."
"Drink?" When Zhang Xiaolong heard the word "drink", he looked at Zhang Xiaohua, as if he understood something.
Before Zhang Xiaohu finished his meal, he stared at the porridge in the bowl in his hand and said blankly: "This is it? Is it ginseng? It's unlikely."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Liu Qian explained, "Look, we thought about it for a long time last night, but didn't think of something special? However, the doctor said that we only ate it recently, and the well water on the slope only drank a little occasionally. After I came here, this well water was consumed in large quantities, especially my grandmother, who liked to drink tea made from well water recently. The well water we used for eating has only started recently! From the perspective of time, only this well water meets this condition."
Guo Sufei patted her head and said, "It's true. I just thought about eating yesterday, but I didn't think about drinking this. What Liu Qian said was really right."
Zhang Cai said, "I believe that ginseng can nourish my mother's body. No matter how good this water is, it is just water. Can it be taken as a tonic?" He asked Liu Qian in confusion.
Liu Qian didn't know how to answer, and said, "Uncle, I don't know this. Why don't we make a pot of water and send it to the clinic in the town to let them see it?"
Guo Sufei said: "Well, okay, why don't you let Xiaohu bring a pot in a while and go to the town to let the doctor see it."
Zhang Xiaohu said excitedly: "Okay, I'll prepare the meal immediately. My injury has been almost healed, so it's okay to go there."
Zhang Xiaohua also said: "I'll go get water right away, and I want to go to the town with my second brother."
After saying that, he was about to run to the slope.
Just then, Zhang Cai spoke, and he said, "No, don't go!"
Everyone was stunned again, and Guo Sufei said, "Master, what do you mean? Why don't you let Xiaohu and the others go?"
Seeing that everyone was very strange, Zhang Cai said with a wry smile: "Did you forget Mr. Wu from the neighboring village?"
Suddenly, Liu Qian and Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized, while the others were still confused. Zhang Xiaohuqi said: "Dad, of course we know about Mr. Wu. It was because they were dug into treasures and were killed by bandits."
Zhang Cai said: "Then are our well water treasures?"
Zhang Xiaohu said: "I just don't know, so I let the doctors in the town see it?"
Zhang Cai immediately said, "What if it is?"
Zhang Xiaohu was speechless and didn't know how to interfere.
Seeing that everyone was still a little confused, Liu Qian explained, "Uncle said this. If the well water is a treasure and the doctor in the town knows, that would be a great thing. The ginseng in the well is much more precious than Mr. Wu's box of jewelry. If the bandits know, then why don't you kill and grab water? Moreover, the well water is no longer in our yard. It's far on the hillside. We can't just say it's ours. If people know, they come to fetch water. Should we make people beat it or not? If people are all beaten, what are grandma drinking? What is the most feared thing about being occupied by powerful people and no one can beat it?"
Only then did everyone understand.
Zhang Xiaolong asked again: "If the doctor doesn't let the doctor see it, we don't know if this well water is useful to grandma?"
Liu Qian smiled and said, "Let's not talk about whether we take this water to the clinic, will the doctor show us it, or whether the doctor can see it. Even if the well water is useless, we don't know if this water is useful to our grandmother's body and will not lose anything to us. Don't we still have to drink this water and use this water 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 our grandmother will not be able to drink it, and there will be even a disaster for death."
Guo Sufei quickly said: "Liu Qian is right. We can't go to the town to find a doctor. Moreover, everyone must keep the matter of Jingshui secret and never tell it out."
Everyone nodded together.
While carrying water, Zhang Xiaohua shook her head and muttered to herself: "This world is so ancient. We must protect ourselves first in everything we do. It is really difficult to be a human being."
Since this day, Zhang Xiaohua has been making more water from the slope every day. All the water at home, food, drinking, washing, etc. are replaced by well water, and no longer use the river water near the village.
It seems that everyone is looking forward to a miracle happening to grandma.
Grandma's body was still weak and her cough did not seem to have been relieved.
However, Zhang Cai, Zhang Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaohu's injuries were healed rapidly day after day. Especially Zhang Xiaolong, when he went to the veterinarian Lao Chen to change the medicine for the first time, Lao Chen almost didn't believe his eyes. He looked and touched, and finally in the face of the facts, he had to believe that Zhang Xiaolong had been more than half healed, and the broken bones were about to heal. He ignored Guo Sufei's joyful thanks and hurriedly sent them away, and ran into his pharmacy, prepared it, and carefully preserved the wound medicine that Zhang Xiaolong had used only once. He was secretly proud of himself. Who said that he could only be a veterinarian? This first time the injury medicine was used, could he still have the potential of a miracle doctor? It seems that he had to change his profession another day and open a miracle doctor clinic in a lively area in Lu Town. With this magical injury medicine, wouldn't he make a fortune?
Not to mention the random thoughts of the veterinarian Lao Chen, the Zhang family, who was big and small, was happy to see Zhang Xiaolong's injuries heal so quickly, and they knew more and more that it was Jing Shui's credit. Grandma learned that her grandson's arm had healed, and she was in a particularly good mood. Her face was as smiling as a chrysanthemum, and her cough was lighter. The family laughed and said happily.
As for Liu Qian, she didn't know what she was feeling. She was very surprised when she saw Zhang Xiaolong come back without a splint, and she was very happy with everyone. But after a while, she felt a little disappointed. She tried her best to avoid this emotion and did not admit her thoughts. But she knew that she really liked this family and Zhang Xiaolong. She didn't want to leave here and return to her own home. Is her own home bad? She asked herself, the answer was no, and she also liked her own home, but it seemed that the feeling of her home was different from the feeling here. What is the specific difference?
Maybe it’s Zhang Xiaolong.
However, Zhang Xiaolong's injury has healed, so what reason does he have to stay here?
