The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 519
While speaking, the rain outside suddenly became heavier, gradually pouring down, and the wind picked up.

The wind and rain came suddenly for nearly an hour, and then the sun cleared and the sun appeared in the west.

People have been stuck in the house for a whole day, and now they all come out to get some air, talk to each other, and talk about the rain.Some said it was a pity, if only the world could be covered, and the crops could be better.Some people say that it will rain a little after autumn, but it will be too big, and it will delay pulling straw home.

The river at the head of the village has swelled, and mud waves have formed on the usually calm river surface, and the current is turbulent.From time to time, trees washed down from the mountains floated on the river, and the trees with roots and leaves rushed down.

When people see trees that can be used as purlins rushing down by the river, people feel itchy, so they go home and take three-pronged forks or picks, and prepare to go into the water to fish them.Those are all good materials. Usually, a few trees are used to build a house, and Murakami gets an application and has to pay for it. Now it is whoever gets it.

Hey, people who are greedy for money, that is a swollen river. It can wash down a whole tree and rush down in the blink of an eye. It shows that the current is so dangerous that even people and trees can be washed away. Take your life in vain.

But there are people in this world who don't want to die, so there is no way.

Another tree rushed down from the upper reaches, and five eager men rolled up their trousers and stepped into the water and walked towards the center of the river.The onlookers were sweating for them, including Lao Tan and the elder brother from the West Courtyard.

Brother Xiyuan advised the five people not to fish before they entered the water, saying it was dangerous.Those five people not only didn't take it seriously, but also looked bored, so the elder brother just let it go.

As the five people moved forward, the river quickly submerged their thighs, and one of the short ones reached directly to the waist.The short man panicked, turned around and walked back, saying that he would not steal it from you as he walked, and whoever fished it counted.

At this time, the tree had already rushed forward, and the remaining four found that the three-pronged fork and pickaxe in their hands were useless at all, and became a burden. It would be quicker to just pull the tree branch or hug the tree.

So someone let go of the thing in his hand and went up to grab the branch, and shouted loudly: "This is mine, I grabbed it first."

As soon as the big tree finished shouting, it swung across the torrent. The root of the tree rushed straight down, and the tree top swept across. Two of the other three people were swept by the tree branches and fell into the water one after another. , the remaining one turned around and walked towards the river when the situation was not good.

The person who grabbed the branch and the two people who fell into the water emerged from the water one after another. Before they could shout out, they were brought down again by the tree that didn't slow down much, and fell into the water——
The crowd watching the excitement by the river exclaimed again and again, looking at the center of the river in horror, waiting to see the three people appearing again——
The river was deep and the water was rushing, and the big tree rushed down the river.

The three submerged in the water, like drowning people, grabbed the branches of the tree in a panic, and rushed down with the tree, their feet couldn't step on the ground at all, and they could only emerge from the water with difficulty to breathe.

"Let's go—let's go—" someone shouted by the river.

The person who yelled was kind, meaning that if he let go of the tree and let the tree wash away, he would stand up. The river just lost his thighs.It is correct to think so, but the current situation is that the three of them are all under the cover of the tree head, and it is difficult to stand up.

The situation is extremely critical!
If the three of them panicked and choked on the water, they would probably go away along the way.

At this time, the eldest brother beside Lao Tan got up and saw him running down the river.As soon as he ran away, Old Tan understood and followed suit.The two quickly ran past the big tree in the river, and then followed each other into the water and walked towards the center of the river—they wanted to stop the tree in front.

Among the spectators by the river were the family members of the three people, who seemed to understand what Lao Tan and the elder brother meant, and followed anxiously one after another. At the same time, five enthusiastic tourists also passed by.

It is true that there are great strength in numbers.

When Lao Tan and his elder brother were holding the trunk of the tree hand in hand in the river, the people who followed into the water rushed to them one after another, and they worked together to rescue the three people from the water.

"You old ducks, you don't know how to fish trees at all. Someone has to pull the rope by the river, and someone has to put the tree roots in the water. Just like you, hum!" The eldest brother stood by the river and rushed to the three people who were still in shock. He reprimanded, "The flooded river and the bridge, what floats are not gold and silver treasures, but life-threatening demons. You don't know this, it's a waste of life! Ah Choo!"

Old Tan twisted his trousers: "Brother, go back, don't catch a cold."

The two turned around and walked back, the three who escaped death said thank you behind them.

When Lao Tan got home, he couldn't help being scolded by Yaru, he laughed and took off his wet clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.When she came out, Yaru made hot tea and took out her thick clothes.

But Lao Tan still caught a cold, and developed a high fever in the second half of the night, burning hot all over his body.After taking two antipyretics, Yaju rubbed his body with wine and went out to the village clinic to knock on the door of the village clinic, and hurriedly invited the doctor home.

The doctor took Lao Tan's temperature and then auscultated him. He frowned when he heard a wet rale in his lungs.Lao Tan said that he had bronchiectasis at the root of the disease, and the doctor suddenly realized that he put on drips for anti-inflammatory and gave antipyretic injections at the same time.

The doctor's cell phone rang just after treating Lao Tan. It turned out that the eldest brother in the West Court also had a cold and developed a high fever. My sister-in-law called the doctor when she went to the clinic and couldn't find the doctor.

Hehe, for a pair of troubled brothers and sisters, there is a price to be paid for saving lives.

After the doctor left, Yaru complained to Lao Tan: "I don't know what my body is, so what can I do? Now it's all right, let's be honest."

Old Tan said: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

"That depends on what you look like, right?"

"Brother is already down, can I not get down?"

"Can you compare with others? They are in better health than you!"

"I'm younger than him."

"You are sicker than others!"

"you--"

Yaru's angry words full of concern made Lao Tan speechless, his throat became hot when he was anxious, he thought badly, and wanted to swallow the blood that was pouring up, but unfortunately he failed, so he motioned Yaru to hand the paper to him. he.

Yaru took out two pieces of paper for him, and he covered his mouth with the paper, and the plot in the TV series was played out in reality—the paper was red with blood.

"Oh my god—what's the matter?" Yaru screamed, panicked for a while, and her face turned pale.

"It's okay, it's normal to have committed a crime." Old Tan said very calmly.

After all, Yaru is a woman, although I have seen Lao Tan vomit blood, but that was seven or eight years ago.Goodbye now, and I still vomited after I said something annoying, it is inevitable to panic and blame myself.

"Blame me, you'll be fine if you don't get angry." Yaru cried.

"I don't blame you—" Old Tan smiled at Yaru, and Yaru was startled again by the smile—the open mouth was full of blood.

Yaru hurriedly took water and told Lao Tan to rinse his mouth.

"Go to the hospital and have a good checkup." Yaru said.

"No need, just use a bottle for a few days to subside the inflammation. It's not like you haven't served me before, so you know what it's like." Old Tan said.

"Didn't you have cancer back then? It's different now, listen to me and go to the hospital."

"You don't have to—" Old Tan said.

Yaru wanted to open her mouth to persuade Lao Tan to go to the hospital, when her sister-in-law's cry came from the west courtyard.

Old Tan and Yaru were startled and looked at each other suspiciously. Old Tan said, "What's going on? Hurry over and have a look."

Yaru went out of the house to the west courtyard.

Hey, how should I put it, my eldest brother has been suffering from stomach ulcers for many years.Illness is like this. After a long time, people relax their vigilance and get used to it.

Unexpectedly, my eldest brother's gastric ulcer subtly developed lesions, metastasized into a malignant tumor, and was at an advanced stage.

The sister-in-law was crying not because the doctor found out that the elder brother had cancer, but because the elder brother vomited blood like Lao Tan, and was frightened for a while.

It was two days after I knew that my elder brother had advanced stomach cancer, and my sister-in-law told him in tears when Lao Tan called the elder brother who was hospitalized to say hello.

Old Tan held his cell phone in frustration and remained silent for a long time, when a scene of his elder brother running into the river appeared in front of his eyes, with tears in his eyes——
