Chapter 78: Is he not dead?
"Why did you pull me out like that? I haven't finished what I want to say." He glared angrily at his grandson who acted on his own initiative.
Zhang Xinsheng sighed helplessly, "Grandpa, please let me go. I don't have any feelings for Comrade Li that are between men and women. I just feel that she is very kind to me, and I want to get in touch with her more. You know, I had an older sister before, and if she were still alive, she would probably be like Comrade Li."
When Zhang Jianshou heard his words, his expression immediately showed a hint of heartache, "This matter is a pain for our whole family. You can't tell it in front of your parents, otherwise, your mother's illness, which has finally recovered, will relapse."
"Don't worry, grandpa, I know my limits." Zhang Xinsheng nodded in response.
"You know, your sister is no longer with us. She can't be your sister." Zhang Jianshou spoke to his grandson as if he had aged a year.
Zhang Xinsheng pursed his lips, still feeling a little unwilling, "Grandpa, when my sister died, did you see her body?"
"I don't know much about this matter. I heard from your mother that when she gave birth to your sister, the doctor told her that the baby was gone. Because the situation was a bit chaotic at the time, your sister's body was thrown away by the cleaner at the time."
After hearing this, Zhang Xinsheng's eyes lit up. "In that case, my sister might not be dead. You have to see the body to know if the person is gone. If we don't see it, maybe my sister is still alive."
Zhang Jianshou looked at his grandson who had some wild ideas in front of him, sighed, patted his shoulder and said, "Do you think what the doctor announced could be false? Come on, little brat, you should give up after searching for so many years. Your sister is really gone."
Zhang Xinsheng smiled bitterly. "As long as I am still alive, I will keep looking. As long as I haven't seen my sister's body, I believe she may still be alive in this world."
"Kid, why are you so stubborn? Well, since there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first. If your grandmother finds out that I sneaked out again, she'll probably nag me for a long time." After saying that, the old man put his hands behind his back and left in high spirits.
With the experience of the first acupuncture, she felt no pressure at all the second time, and the acupuncture went particularly smoothly.
Half an hour later, she pulled the gold needle out of Jiang Hong's body and took his pulse. Soon, a satisfied expression appeared on her pretty face.
"You've recovered well, and your pulse is strong. If you say you're not injured, people will believe you." She said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to my wife." Jiang Hong also felt that after the acupuncture this time, his whole body was more transparent, as if he was full of strength now.
The more Li Yiyi came into contact with traditional Chinese medicine, the more she regretted choosing Western medicine in the first place.
"Our traditional Chinese medicine is truly full of mysteries, and we can never fully explore it," she sighed from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that lunch time was approaching, Li Yiyi planned to go back to her rented house.
Li Yiyi had not walked a few steps after coming out of the hospital when she was stopped by a middle-aged man who suddenly appeared from a corner.
When a man suddenly rushed out, everyone thought he was a robber. Li Yiyi was no exception. She looked at the man with a vigilant expression on her pretty face and asked, "What do you want to do? I tell you, it's broad daylight now. If you want to rob me, I will yell."
"Girl, it's a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding. I saw you walking out of the hospital, and I guessed you must have a relative hospitalized here, right?" The middle-aged man spoke to her in the local dialect.
Li Yiyi still had a defensive expression on her face, "Why are you asking this?"
"Girl, I have a wild turtle here. Do you want it? It can be used to make soup for patients, which is very nutritious." The middle-aged man suddenly walked forward and spoke in a low voice.
Li Yiyi took a step back and looked at his empty hands.
The middle-aged man seemed to know what she was thinking, and immediately continued, "I put the wild turtle I mentioned somewhere else. If you want it, I can take you there now."
"Is it really a wild turtle?" She remembered that the turtles sold on the market in later generations were all farmed, and it was hard to find this kind of wild turtle.
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Sister, look at what you said. Who can raise a turtle? We don't have the ability to do that."
After hearing his reply, Li Yiyi remembered that the current conditions cannot be compared with those in the future, and there are no conditions for raising turtles now.
"Where?" she asked.
"It's just in front, my wife is watching. If you want, I can take you over to have a look now." The smile on the middle-aged man's face seemed to be forced, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not the kind of person who was good at smiling.
Li Yiyi looked around. It was broad daylight and people were coming and going, so she didn't have to worry about what this man would do to her.
"Okay, you lead the way and I'll take a look first," she replied.
The middle-aged man sighed and immediately led her to a big tree on the left side of the hospital.
When I was almost under the tree, a woman came out from behind the tree.
"The child's father." The woman saw the middle-aged man coming over and shouted nervously.
The middle-aged man hurriedly said to her, "Mother, this is to buy our turtle. Take it out and let this comrade have a look."
When the woman heard this, she quickly took out a wild turtle weighing about two kilograms that was hidden in her clothes.
Li Yiyi had heard a seafood seller mention before that the bottom plate of wild turtles was relatively tender and white, and this turtle happened to be like that.
"How much do you sell it for?" After confirming the quality, she looked at the couple and asked.
When the couple heard the tone of her question, they knew that the other person was interested in the wild turtle they caught.
"Five dollars, do you think this price is okay?" The middle-aged man carefully stretched out five fingers.
When Li Yiyi heard the price, she couldn't help but sigh that things in this era are really worthless.
If this kind of turtle existed in later times, it would definitely cost at least one or two hundred dollars to get it.
"What's wrong? Is it too much? If not, you can reduce the price a little bit." Seeing that she didn't say anything, the middle-aged man nervously lowered the price.
Li Yiyi smiled and said, "No need, just the price you said will do."
The two exchanged money and goods. After the transaction was completed, Li Yiyi happened to spot the old book that the woman had just brought back for the wild turtle.
"Can I take a look at the book in your hand?" she asked.
The woman responded nervously, "Sure, take a look." Then she handed over the half-wet old book in her hand.
