Dashan kept stretching out his sleeves to wipe his tears. A man in his thirties, he actually cried like a child.
The old lady waved towards Dashan, and forced a smile on her skinny face: "You have suffered so much over the years."
Dashan is the eldest in the family, followed by three younger brothers. It is no exaggeration to say that he basically raised all three brothers.
There are four boys in the family, and others dare not bully them, but marriage becomes the most difficult thing.
At the beginning, Dashan was also arranged to marry, but the other party disliked the fact that he had to do all the housework and take care of his younger brothers. The condition she set was that after marriage, Dashan had to move out on his own.
How could Dashan be willing? As time went by, he was delayed.
The girl's family is also a troublesome one. Logically speaking, the marriage between the two families cannot be achieved, so they just keep the matter secret.
They also spread the news widely, and in the end, almost no one in the nearby villages dared to marry their daughters to Dashan.
The question is: How can I support my three younger brothers when my own family can’t even get enough to eat?
After a while, Dashan became an older young man, and the same went for his younger brothers.
Dashan Niang sometimes wondered, if she, an old woman, passed away now, would it reduce a lot of burden for her sons?
Dashan knelt in front of his mother's bed, and grasped her skinny arms with his rough hands: "Mom, I don't have a dad anymore, but I can't live without you."
This one sentence made the other people burst into tears.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but they do until they are sad. At this moment, everyone's heart is filled with deep sadness.
Dashan's mother patted the back of Dashan's hand and said, "Okay, your brother can't be delayed any longer.
I know you want to raise money to send him to the city, but it's not that easy.
Let that person take a look, go ahead......"
Dashan opened and closed his mouth, his lips trembling constantly, but his throat felt like a large ball of cotton was stuffed in it, his breath was blocked there, and his heart was aching with pain.
At this moment, a man's wailing was heard from next door.
Dashan's expression changed, and he quickly opened the curtain and rushed into the next room.
The brothers also rushed in behind. The old lady coughed twice, put on her shoes with trembling legs, and holding the high stool beside her, she moved towards the next room carefully and a little anxiously.
When I walked into the room, I found Lu Zhiye sitting in the corner, not moving at all.
Xiao He curled up his body and beads of sweat the size of beans fell down.
His cracked lips made him look weak and frail.
He murmured, "It hurts so much, it hurts, I don't want to live anymore, let me die..."
The pain was so piercing that the man in front of her wished he could die to avoid suffering this pain again.
Dashan gritted his teeth and knelt down towards Lu Zhiye.
"Please help me treat my brother. Please, as long as you can treat my brother, I will work for you all my life."
Dahe and Xiaoshan also knelt down, and Lu Zhiye dodged their kneeling.
"Just as you said before, go get some hot water and cut off all the rotten flesh on his stomach using your own method. Then I can apply medicine to him."
Dashan got up from the ground and ran out quickly.
Xiaoshan was not idle either. He took out two kerosene lamps and lit them quickly.
He then pulled out a sharp dagger from his bosom and burned it over the kerosene lamp as a simple disinfection.
"Second brother, give Third brother a piece of cloth to bite."
When Xiaoshan started, the old lady leaned against the wall at the door, her teeth chattering. As she listened to her son's wailing, tears fell from her eyes.
Inside the house, Xiao He's expression was ferocious, his neck was raised high with veins bulging on it, and his face was red.
Because of the pain, his mind was clear for a moment. He bit the white cloth in his mouth tightly, and his painful whimpering made people get goose bumps all over their body.
Basins of blood were carried out, and after finally cleaning up all the rotten flesh, Xiaoshan sat down on the ground in exhaustion.
Lu Zhiye went forward to take a look and had to admit that Xiaoshan was indeed quite skilled in this area.
Think about what hardships he had to endure when he first went out to make a living.
He had no money to treat his leg injury, so in the end, he gritted his teeth and cut off all the rotten parts. His techniques and skills were not as good as Xiaoshan's.
"Okay, all of you go out and get a thermos of hot water."
Da He was a little reluctant: "Can't I just stand here and guard?"
Lu Zhiye glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
Dashan quickly grabbed the man and said, "Go wait outside!"
Everyone has his own unique secret skills. I used to hear that doctors with good medical skills had very strange personalities and never allowed anyone to stay nearby when they were treating patients.
After everyone had left, Lu Zhiye took out a bowl of spiritual spring water from the space, pinched Xiao He's mouth and poured the water into it.
Then he fed Xiaohe one of the hemostatic pills he had made earlier.
After carefully cleaning his wound, he took out the gauze beside him and roughly tied a knot.
With the combination of rubbing and drinking, this person can be pulled back from the underworld even if he only has one breath left.
Lu Zhiye took a wet handkerchief from the space and walked out while wiping his hands.
The few people standing outside were anxiously milling around. When they saw Lu Zhiye coming out, they quickly surrounded him and asked, "Has it been dealt with?"
"Can we go in and take a look?"
Lu Zhiye did not answer them, but turned his head to look at the old lady sitting on the bench: "Your son is fine now."
The old lady's tense body suddenly relaxed, and she was about to kneel down towards Lu Zhiye with tears in her eyes, leaning on her crutches.
Lu Zhiye quickly held the man back and said, "Let's put things in perspective. We are just doing what others have asked us to do.
Here is a pill. When he wakes up, dissolve it in hot water and give it to him."
Lu Zhiye threw a large backpack onto his shoulder, freed one hand, and picked up another backpack effortlessly.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Dashan did not choose to go with others, but went into the house to look at the river.
Instead, he reached out and took Lu Zhiye's backpack: "I'll go out with you."
Lu Zhiye smiled and pressed his hand: "I can handle it myself."
Dashan was anxious: "That group of people is very good at black-and-white things, and some of them are quite skilled. You are in great danger.
Since I have given you this life, I will definitely protect you and let you leave safely."
Lu Zhiye thought about it for a moment and did not refuse. Since he wanted to recruit these people under his command, relying solely on favors would be the most unreliable.
At the very least, you have to conquer with your own strength, especially for those who are quite capable, they admire those who are stronger than them.
