Lu Zhiye lowered his eyes, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, looking like he was smiling but not smiling, which made Dashan's heart beat fast.
"Shall we make a deal?"
Dashan looked at Lu Zhiye warily: "What deal?"
"I'll help you deal with the people outside. You brothers will owe me something in the future."
Dashan's face changed again and again. He felt that he had suffered a great loss. According to his idea, Lu Zhiye just needed to take these things away.
Most of their crisis will be solved, and even if someone really comes to them, they will have reasons and excuses.
Now, getting rid of the people outside has become a condition for negotiation.
"We can't agree to this. Brother, please stop wasting time here. Hand over the money and deliver the goods.
If you can buy these things, buy them. If you can’t, forget it.”
Dashan is gambling...
Lu Zhiye slowly stood up and walked towards the inner room: "What if I say that I can also cure the people inside?"
Dashan and Xiaoshan stood up at the same time and said in unison: "Are you telling the truth?"
Lu Zhiye nodded calmly: "There is an ancestral medicine at home, which can cure it in nine out of ten cases."
Dashan was in doubt and panic. He heard another violent cough from the inner room. He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said, "As long as you can cure my brother, I will give you my life, not to mention a promise."
Dashan was silent for a moment, then continued, "I just hope you don't lie to us!"
"Yes, big brother, if you can really cure my brother, my life will be yours too."
His third brother became like this because he tried to save him. Xiaoshan woke up from his dreams countless times, looking at his third brother with a pale face, feeling full of regret.
If I had been more vigilant, I wouldn't have been attacked from behind by those beasts.
Third brother would not have ended up like this just to save himself.
Lu Zhiye opened the curtain and walked in. The scene inside the room was worse than he had imagined.
The man lying on the bed had his hands and feet shaking constantly, and his whole body was frighteningly pale.
People who don’t know would think that this is a dead person.
His stomach was wrapped in white gauze, and it seemed that he had already seen a doctor in the county.
Lu Zhiye estimated that the county doctors were not sure they could cure the injury, so they simply sutured and bandaged it, leaving it to fate.
Today’s medical conditions are too backward, and many disinfection levels do not meet standards.
Just as Lu Zhiye was about to reach out and tear off the gauze on the man's stomach, Dahe grabbed his arm.
Lu Zhiye pressed Dahao's arm under his body with his backhand and pushed him forward with force.
The river poured uncontrollably onto the mountains and hills.
His eyes were as wide as a calf's with fear. Not only him, but both Dashan and Xiaoshan were still frightened.
The three brothers had to step back several steps before they were able to get rid of the force.
"elder brother!"
When Daha saw Lu Zhiye lifting the gauze, he was so scared that he quickly grabbed Dashan's arm and screamed.
Dashan's eyes flickered, and he patted Dahe's shoulder, signaling him to be patient.
After Lu Zhiye lifted the gauze, he looked at the wound on the man's stomach with a frown.
The situation was much more serious than he had imagined, the wound on the man's stomach had begun to fester.
Just looking at it makes people feel creepy.
Dashan and the others bit their lips and turned away with red eyes.
The county said they couldn’t treat him and asked him to be sent to the city where he might have a chance to survive.
But now that the third brother is like this, it is not so easy for him to go to the city.
Their seriously ill mother was lying in another room. Dashan believed that someone would come to their house as soon as they left.
That group of people dared to do anything shady. When they came back, I had no idea what the place looked like.
Lu Zhiye took out a flashlight from his arms, shone it on the man's stomach, and instantly felt goose bumps on his back.
"Go get two basins of hot water. You walk in the mountains all year round, so you should know how to treat wounds and rotting flesh, right?"
"Yes, yes, but the location of the third brother's injury......."
If one of them is not handled properly, it could be fatal.
“Just do it. I have been running in the mountains all year round, and I have special medicines left by my ancestors at home.
You are lucky, there is only this one.
Trust my words and do what I say.”
Beads of sweat appeared on Dashan's forehead. After a long while, he said, "Let us brothers discuss it."
Lu Zhiye nodded, pulled a bench and sat down.
To be honest, the smell in the room was not pleasant, and the smell of rotten meat was even more obvious in the small and stuffy room.
Outside, Dashan took out a cigarette from his pocket, squatted there, and started smoking.
"What do you two think?"
Xiaoshan also slowly squatted down: "I think we can let him give it a try."
"What if he's a half-witted person and really kills the third child?"
Daha's eyes were red and his fingers were drilling with a crackling sound.
Xiao Shan couldn't help sobbing, "What can we do? Didn't you hear what the hospital said?
The doctor said there is still hope for survival if he goes to the city, but look at my brother’s condition, can he still hold on until he can go to the city...?”
Xiaoshan's voice gradually became choked. Dahe and Xiaohe are twins, but they are not alike in appearance or temperament.
Xiaohe is somewhat similar to the fourth child, Xiaoshan, so the two usually have the best relationship.
When Xiaoshan thought that his third brother might die because of this, he felt a tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe.
Dashan finished the cigarette in his hand and turned to walk into another room.
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Xiao He is a piece of flesh that fell from our mother's body. This decision is up to her. None of us can make the decision for her."
"Aren't you stabbing our mother in the back? If she's cured, everyone will be happy. If she's not, how can our mother survive?"
The river roared angrily, and its red eyes stared at the mountain.
"Then tell me what to do? Who can make this decision?"
The mountains also felt heartbroken.
At this moment, a woman's faint voice called out from another room.
The three brothers' expressions changed slightly, and they quickly opened the door and walked in.
"mother."
"mother......."
"Mom, you're awake."
The three brothers knelt beside the old lady's bed with their legs bent, just like they did when they were little.
The old lady slowly sat up straight, coughed twice, and then said, "I heard everything you said, cough cough cough..."
The old lady took a long time to catch her breath and said, "Let him take care of the third child. If he can be cured, we can still have some reunion days. If he can't be cured, even if he passes away, your father will still be watching him.
With my broken body, maybe he and I can have a companion on the road to the underworld."
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
