"Is there?" Zeng Xubai asked again.
The child nodded vigorously again.
"There is a bride, Uncle Qiang's, and they're giving out candy."
"Just one?"
Zeng Xubai placed the lollipop in front of the child.
The child leaned over and licked it, then hummed several times.
Zeng Xubai patted the snow off the child and handed him the lollipop. The child took the candy and placed it in front of himself like a treasure. However, after licking it for a while, he put it down again. He said that he couldn't eat it now and had to save it for later.
"Why don't you eat anymore?"
Zeng Xubai thought he didn't like it. If he didn't like it, he had other options.
"Save it for later." The child's eyes sparkled as he smiled. Although his little face was dirty, children are children. That innocence is precious and is something that adults do not have.
"I have more here," Zeng Xubai took out several lollipops from his pocket.
The child's eyes were brighter now.
"Take me to the family that married the bride, your Uncle Qiangzi, and I'll give these to you, okay?"
"Okay, kid," the child agreed immediately, his eyes fixed on the candies. Zeng Xubai found the child's pocket and gave the remaining five or six lollipops to the child. Children don't lie, so of course they mean what they say.
The child jumped up and down, leading Zeng Xubai to look for someone, and pointed ahead from a distance, "Uncle Qiangzi's bride is over there."
Not far ahead, there is a house with almost no one living around it. The house is well built, a brick and tile house, but one part of it has collapsed, so it looks a bit messy, but it is not easy to forget. After all, there is only one house like this in the entire village.
Zeng Xubai couldn't help but clench his hands, and even felt the pain.
"Thanks."
He rubbed the child's head and said, "Go back. It's cold outside."
The child was about to leave, but came back and looked at Zeng Xubai for a long time with his little head raised in surprise.
"Why are uncle's eyes red?"
Nothing happened. Zeng Xubai was still smiling, but there seemed to be a slight pain in his eyes, as if a snowflake had fallen, and they were instantly moist.
"Uncle is just sick, he will be fine in a few days."
He smiled, but the hurt in his eyes grew deeper.
"If you're sick, you need to see a doctor."
The child pulled Zeng Xubai's sleeve, which made Zeng Xubai feel a little sorry for him because he took advantage of such a young child and also took advantage of his kindness.
"Uncle is fine."
Zeng Xubai took out a few more lollipops and put them in his pocket. The cotton-padded clothes made for children in the village are not small in any way, except that they have many pockets, which are also very large and can hold a lot of things. However, there are few good things in the village, so such large pockets are mostly used as decorations, and few people would put things in them.
And now there are seven or eight lollipops in the child's pocket.
When Zeng Xubai was about to leave again, the child reached out his little hand and grabbed his sleeve.
"Uncle, are you here to see a doctor for treatment?"
"no."
Zeng Xubai faced the wind and snow, with a pair of red bloodshot eyes. He came to find his lover, his wife.
"Uncle must be looking for a doctor."
The child was certain, "My eyes are all red. I can't go to the bride because she can't treat illnesses. I have to go to the doctor. Mommy told me that if I feel unwell, I have to go to the doctor."
"Sister Liu is the doctor."
The child spoke innocently, pulling Zeng Xubai's sleeves with his little hands. However, he pulled for a long time, but Zeng Xubai didn't move at all. The child pulled until he was sweating all over, but still couldn't move at all.
"Uncle, don't be afraid of injections. Sister Liu's injections don't hurt. Sister Liu also has delicious peanuts. After the injection, Sister Liu will give you some to eat."
Zeng Xubai was about to move forward, but suddenly stopped.
"The Sister Liu you're talking about is a doctor?"
"Yeah," the child nodded his head, "Mom said Sister Liu is very good at treating patients, better than the old doctor Grandpa. And Sister Liu is very beautiful. When she smiles, it's like there are flowers. She also has delicious food."
"When did Doctor Liu come to the village?"
Zeng Xubai actually didn't think about it and just asked casually. Maybe it was because of the word Liu, and because the person with the surname Liu was a doctor.
His daughter Jingjing is also a doctor named Liu. She once joked that even if she went to a strange place in the future, as long as she had her medical skills, she would never starve to death.
In fact, even if she had no medical skills, she had a ring that could store things, so she would not starve to death.
His daughter Jingjing has always been a little hamster who likes to hoard things. No matter when, she will put things in her ring. Even if she lives in a place like this for one or two years, the things in the ring will soon be enough for her to use.
When the child heard what Xu Bai asked, he tilted his head, as if he was also thinking hard about this question.
Zeng Xubai just felt it was funny. He turned around and walked forward again, his steps were a little anxious and lonely.
"Sister Liu came before the snow started."
The child thought hard and finally figured it out, "Sister Liu is so strong that she can chop down really big trees."
Zeng Xubai's steps forward suddenly stopped, then he turned back to the child and squatted down again.
"Then tell uncle, what is Sister Liu's name?"
He intuitively felt that the person was Liu Liang, whose surname was Liu and who was a doctor with great strength. There might be many doctors with the surname Liu, but Zeng Xubai only knew one who was strong enough to cut down trees over the years, and he had also come here a few months ago, so they were almost the same.
Children are children, and this question really caught him off guard.
"Sister Liu's name is..."
Well, what’s it called?
The child scratched his head and said, "Sister Liu is called Doctor Liu, and there is also Little Doctor."
"Then you take your uncle to get his eyes treated, okay?"
Zeng Xubai finally smiled. He thought he had found his Jingjing, his wife.
The child nodded vigorously, holding Zeng Xubai's big hand, and kept telling him to be careful. He really thought Zeng Xubai was blind.
"Goudan, who are you holding?"
By chance, a villager came out and saw Goudan following a stranger. He was also shocked. The villagers had lived together for many years, how could they not recognize each other? This person was not from their village at all. The clothes were not there, and the shoes on his feet did not look good. Moreover, this person was too tall. The tallest person in their village was much shorter than him.
