Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 243 Approaching
...

Compared with the noise of the theater troupe, the house of a family in the village to the north of the town is just the opposite. The dim moonlight penetrates into the house through the gaps in the windows, and the outline of the moonlight house is faintly visible.

This is a simple one-bedroom earthen house. The farm tools by the door are neatly leaning against the corner, and a brand new bamboo dragonfly is placed on a low square table by the wall. The small house is tidied up neatly.

As for the square table, on a bed made of bamboo, two people, one big and one small, could be vaguely seen lying on it through the misty moonlight.

The little one was in a sleeping position, and the quilt on his body was a little slipped off, while the adult beside him curled up slightly with his back facing him.

This is exactly the father and son that Li Mu met in the street market during the day. At this time, the child is no longer active and lively during the day, and is sleeping soundly in a dreamland. Maybe he dreamed of something that made him happy. There was a faint smile on his mouth. .

"Cuckoo~"

The strange bird chirping sounded again, and the man in the room whose back was facing the child suddenly opened his eyes, the blood in his pupils flashed, his face suddenly became ferocious, the veins on his neck and forehead popped, his hands clenched He tightly grasped the edge of the bed, arched his body tightly, and closed his teeth tightly, as if he was enduring great pain.

"Well…"

Perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping child next to him, the man suppressed the surging pain again and again and again for an unknown amount of time before the sound of the birds gradually disappeared. His clothes were soaked in sweat, which showed how much pain the man had suffered before.

"Huh...huh..."

The tense body collapsed as if discouraged, and the man took a deep breath like the rest of his life after a catastrophe. After a while, he carefully turned his head to look at the child sleeping next to him, and couldn't help but see if he was woken up. Breathe a sigh of relief.

With a trembling hand, he covered the quilt kicked away by the child back, and carefully turned over and got out of bed. When he first landed, his knees felt weak and he almost fell to the ground.

The door was gently opened, and then it was gently closed again. Soon there was the sound of running water outside, and after a while, the man returned to the room refreshed and wiped off the sweat that flowed on the bamboo bed.

"Ugh!"

The man reached out and touched the child's cheek, his eyes were full of reluctance and love for the child, and he couldn't help sighing in a complicated mood.

...

In the early morning, Li Mu came to the market again, and returned to the place where he followed the man to set up a stall yesterday, but he did not see the father and son.

"Master! Did anyone sell bamboo shoots here yesterday? Why didn't you come today?"

At that time, Li Mu noticed that the man seemed to be familiar with the stall owners around him, so he probably wasn't the kind of person who came out to set up stalls occasionally, but at this time, when the market was busiest, he didn't see him coming to sell goods, so he looked for him. asked the neighboring stall owner.

The adjacent stall was an old man selling shredded tobacco. The bundled shredded tobacco on the ground was neatly placed on it. The old man was smoking a bong in his hand. When he saw Li Mu coming to ask questions, he looked at him.

"Come to buy bamboo shoots?"

"Uh... yes yes yes!"

Since the old man helped him find a good reason, Li Mu followed suit, which saved him a lot of talking.

"Then wait a little longer, you may still be digging bamboo shoots on the mountain!"

The old man seemed to know the man's movements like the back of his hand, and Li Mu also took advantage of the situation and sat on the steps beside him and chatted with the old man one after another, and just chatted like this to reveal the man's identity.

Whenever a man was mentioned, the old man couldn't help but sigh, which made Li Mu very curious. After questioning, he found out that the man's wife gave birth prematurely, and left with a hemorrhage after leaving the child, and the child was congenitally deficient due to premature birth , the body is relatively weak.

The child's mother died prematurely, and the child who was waiting to be fed could not survive without breastfeeding. The man begged his grandpa to tell his grandmother to beg for breast milk everywhere, so that the child survived, but it still caused the child to fall into the root of the disease, so he looked younger than children of the same age It looks even thinner.

It can be said that the hemp rope is picky and broken, and bad luck only finds the poor. One year, the child fell seriously ill and almost died. The man begged all the doctors in the town, but they couldn't do anything. Later, people thought the child was hopeless. I advised him to think about it, to consider remarrying and having a new baby while he was young, while the man silently packed his things and left the town with the child.

This time passed almost half a year, and when everyone had already died of illness because of the child, the man came back, and at the same time, the sick and dying child came back together alive and well.

Later, someone was curious about how the child was rescued and asked him about it, but the man kept his mouth shut, only saying that they met a miracle doctor after they went out.

Now that the child is alive and well every day, those who knew that the child was seriously ill at the time felt that it was just a dream.

"Hey, here we come!"

Suddenly the old man saw the sound of a man carrying a child in a basket and greeted Li Mu. Li Mu looked in the direction he pointed and saw the man.

"Xiaobao's father, this little brother is here to buy bamboo shoots, and I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

When the man walked to the booth, the old man pointed to Li Mu and said to him, and the man couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Li Mu.

Obviously recognized him, nodded to him, then put the child down, put the pannier on the ground, lifted the cover on it, and the full bamboo shoots immediately caught the old man's attention.

"Hey, this is amazing! I said why you came so late today, it turns out that you dug so much!"

"Hehe, good luck today!"

The man smiled and said to the old man, then looked at Li Mu and asked.

"Guest, do you want to buy bamboo shoots?"

And Li Mu stared at him closely when the man appeared, because he found that when we met again today, the man's anger was heavier than before. If it was reflected in the palmistry before, then today he can see it in the man's face arrive.

This strange phenomenon made Li Mu distracted. The man shouted several times and Li Mu didn't respond. Li Mu only came back to his senses when he felt his hand being pulled.

Looking down, I saw the child holding a verdant bamboo dragonfly in one hand and holding his finger with the other.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted when I thought of something. That's right, how do you sell these bamboo shoots?"

After apologizing to the man, Li Mu started the performance of tourists buying souvenirs. In order to find out why the man had such strange palm and facial expressions, Li Mu tried his best to get close to him.

"Brother, I'm dissatisfied with you. I have studied medicine for several years. I see that your complexion is not very good. How about I feel your pulse?"

Li Mu's sudden discovery of the straight ball made the man startled, and then he reacted and evaded.

"Thank you, don't bother you, maybe I didn't sleep well last night!"

"It's okay, just take a pulse, it will be soon!"

One is passionate, the other is afraid of troublesome others, the two big men shirk back and forth here, Li Mu quickly seized the opportunity to grab the man's wrist, and the man's face changed drastically when Li Mu's hand grasped his wrist, but still Before he could react, Li Mu let go first, and clasped his fists at him and said with a smile.

"Brother, there is nothing wrong with his body!"
