Chapter 165 I will always be by your side (2)
She even knew that he came back to her because of what she had said to him, because she wanted him back, so no matter what happened to him, he would come back to her.

She wants to know his story, wants to know his past in his past.

Dong Nuan's hand holding the wooden comb trembled slightly, and then he continued to lightly comb Si Ji's summer ink-like long hair, but his heart was twisted violently.

Didn't you have a right hand since you were a child?
This was the first time Si Jixia mentioned his right hand to others.

"The hut on the mountain in Shuiyue County, Ah Nuan and I have been there. I have lived there since I was born, and I have lived there for seven years, together with my father and mother." Si Jixia's voice was flat The words were also soft, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him, but the tension in his heart could be seen from the left hand on his knee that was clutching tightly.

Dong Nuangu listened to him quietly, and occasionally heard a soft "crackling" sound from the firewood in the stove.

"There are not many families living on the mountain. They are all medicine farmers. My father is also a medicine farmer. He goes up the mountain to collect medicine every day. After collecting the medicine and exchanging money, he and my mother took me down the mountain to see a doctor."

"Father and Auntie took me to see countless doctors, and all the doctors said that it was a blessing in my misfortune that I could survive. He and A Niang took me to see many doctors and named me Ping An, they hoped that my life would be safe and free from disasters."

"There are not many times when I can go down the mountain, because my body can't walk at all. Every time I go down the mountain, my father carries me down the mountain. The market at the bottom of the mountain is very lively, but there is no place for me to stay for a long time, because I, even The doctor looks at my father and mother in the same way."

"Except for my father and mother, I am strange in the eyes of everyone, and the children even think I am a monster." Having said that, Si Jixia moved his hand to his right shoulder, The broken right shoulder was pinched tightly.

Dong Nuan also stopped combing his hair, but the hand holding the wooden comb was trembling.

"I once asked my aunt why I am different from others, why I don't have a right hand." The fire in the stove danced fiercely in Si Jixia's eyes, reflecting the sadness in his eyes, it seemed that even the blazing fire had changed It's freezing cold," but A Niang didn't say anything, she just hugged me and cried. Since then, I didn't ask any questions about my right hand anymore, and I stopped yelling that my dad would take me when he went down the mountain to sell herbs. Take it with you."

"No one welcomes me down the mountain. Every time I go down the mountain, my mother will shed tears. I am only suitable to stay on the mountain, and I don't want to go anywhere."

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with living on the mountain. I have a good life. My father and mother held me in their hands and felt pain in their hands. At that time, I thought, when I grow up, I will become a medicine farmer for my father. Just let my father and mother raise chickens and grow flowers and plants at home."

"But when I was six years old, I suddenly had a high fever and fell asleep, and my family had no money to see a doctor for me. In order to find money for me to see a doctor, my father climbed up the cliff to pick Ganoderma lucidum grass. The rain was pouring, Dad accidentally rolled off the cliff, broke his leg and broke his breastbone."

"Father crawled back, covered in mud and blood, but the Ganoderma lucidum grass he was protecting was intact, even though it was also covered with his blood."

"Aniang knelt beside my father and cried. I lay in the room and heard Aniang's cry but couldn't move. Then Aniang went back to the house and wrapped me up in clothes, and then put the coir raincoat on me. The rainy night of the torrential rain carried me down the mountain overnight, and I saw my father lying in the yard covered in blood, I called him, but he didn't answer."

"My high fever subsided, but my father lay in the grave and never woke up again. I cried in front of my father's grave and refused to leave. It was my mother who carried me away with tears in my eyes."

"My life was bought with my father's life, but my body is not up to par. My crippled right arm tortures me more and more frequently. I have high fever more frequently than before. There is only A Niang at home, A Niang She couldn't afford a doctor, but she didn't want to see me die, so she went down the mountain behind my back and begged for help."

"In the cold winter when I was six years old, I met my master, and my master saved my life." Si Jixia rubbed the right shoulder of his mutilated right arm slightly, and lowered his eyelids, "My master said, if I Thinking that my mother would stop worrying about my body, I amputated the stump of my right arm."

"Pa..." Dong Nuan's trembling hand suddenly froze, the wooden comb in his hand fell to the ground and broke in two, even his eye sockets trembled slightly, and he looked down at Si Jixia in disbelief And there is no stump of the right shoulder.

He turned out to have a stump! ?
Dong Nuan felt that her heart ached as if being trampled on. She couldn't imagine how a six-year-old child could endure the heart-piercing pain of having his stump cut off.

Dong Nuan raised his hand to touch Si Jixia's hand that was caressing his right shoulder, but he was afraid that his light touch would interrupt him and make him run away from her immediately.

He hadn't finished his words yet, she wanted to hear it, she was afraid that if she missed today, she would no longer be able to hear him personally tell her everything about him.

And Si Jixia seemed to be immersed in the past that he didn't want to recall for many years. Although his voice was flat, his body was trembling slightly.

This is the past that he himself is afraid to recall.

"Even if it's just a stump, for a person like me who doesn't have a right hand, having that stump will make me look less like a monster. Even though it often hurts me, I still don't want to lose it." When Si Jixia said this, his tone that had always been flat and calm finally started to tremble slightly, and he squeezed his right shoulder tightly again, "But for my mother, I choose not to have it."

There was no anesthesia powder, and only he knew that the pain from the steel knife almost emptied his soul. The master said that he wanted him to remember this pain, so that no pain was unbearable.

"I remember that I passed out from the pain. Auntie held me and cried all night. When I opened my eyes again, I found that Auntie's temples were frost-white, and my master had already left."

"The master left three prescriptions and a few taels of silver for my mother, and asked my mother to take the prescriptions to the county town at the foot of the mountain to grab the medicine. As the master said, without the amputated limb, I have suffered a lot less , Aniang also worried less about my body."

"In the summer when I was seven years old, my mother suddenly wanted to take me down the mountain and packed my clothes and dry food into my bag. I asked my mother where I was going, but she only said that I was going to a far away place. I asked my mother where we were going. Will I come back again, A Niang said yes, so A Niang carried me down the mountain like every time before."

"I told Auntie that I can go and don't have to carry me anymore, but Auntie didn't put me down, she seemed to want to carry me all the time."
