Er Liu seemed to have found a new life. Although he was tired, he was happy.
It was a rare day for Hua He to have a rest today, so the two of them insisted on getting together.
"Hua He, how are you doing lately?"
Hua He looked much more energetic and spirited than last year. Before, she always frowned.
"I've been doing great lately. I've become proficient in the work at the clinic and am now learning medicine on my own. I sometimes ask the doctors for advice, but they only give me a few basic tips. I'm very grateful, after all, this is their specialty."
“I feel like there’s a huge gap between me and other doctors.”
Jiang Tuantuan encouraged: "Just do what you want to do. I believe you can do it."
"By the way, have you replied to your parents? They must be very worried about you."
Hua He said: "I wrote it before. I told them that I was living well in the capital."
When County Magistrate Zhao received the letter, he was furious and cursed the girl as an unfilial daughter.
In fact, County Magistrate Zhao was only angry for a week after Hua He ran away from her marriage, and then he became worried about her safety and feared that she would be in danger.
As a result, they searched for a long time but couldn't find her. At that time, County Magistrate Zhao thought Hua He was gone and was sad for several days.
It was not until I received Hua He's letter that I finally felt relieved.
Sadness turned into anger, and he said in front of everyone that he would never let Hua He go home again.
Only County Magistrate Zhao himself knew that those were just words spoken in anger. As long as Hua He was safe, he would be relieved. He even began to regret that he should not have forced Hua He to get married.
But it's all too late now, but fortunately Hua He is living a good life on her own now.
Hua He said, "I want to be a traveling doctor in the future and travel all over the world."
"Okay, okay, we'll be together from now on."
Early spring is coming soon, and Jiang An and Jiang Li are going back to Fujiang County to take the county exam. Jiang Dafeng is worried about them, so he goes back with them. The house suddenly becomes much quieter.
Jiang An felt extremely miserable as he had to sit in the carriage and study on the way back.
Zhang Dahu went to slaughter pigs and sheep as usual, but when he returned home at night, he felt cold all over and his head was hot. He didn't even eat dinner and was ready to go to bed in a daze. But he slipped and fell directly to the ground. His leg hit the stool and was rubbed.
Zhang Dahu had suffered many injuries, but he didn't care and just went to sleep.
But the next day, Zhang Dahu was still lying in bed and couldn't get up.
And his head seemed to be getting hotter and hotter. Everyone realized that something was wrong and quickly went to see the village doctor.
After examining him, the village doctor simply said he had caught a cold and prescribed some medicine. He also treated the wound on his leg and advised, "If you're still not feeling better by tomorrow morning, go to the county town and see a doctor."
After a night, the next morning, Zhang Dahu still couldn't get out of bed and his head was dizzy.
Zhang Dahu's wife stayed at home to look after the children, while Erlaizi and Dafang pushed a cart to take Zhang Dahu to the county town.
Er Laizi came to Tongji Hall as if he was familiar with the place, but only Doctor Ding was there. Because Su Qingming was about to take the exam, Doctor Su went to visit him.
Doctor Ding could only try his best to treat the patient and prescribed several medicines. Although the condition improved, there was still no sign of healing.
Doctor Ding said, "He originally caught a cold, but then he was injured, so the poison entered through the wound. Plus, Zhang Dahu himself had suffered many injuries in the past few years, so his physique was already weak, so all the ailments came flooding back."
"Then doctor, how can you save my father?" Dafang was a little desperate.
"Your father hasn't eaten for several days and is very weak. He needs ginseng to stay alive."
The second beggar said, "Okay, then we'll buy it. As long as it can cure the disease, we can use anything. I'll find a way to get the money."
Doctor Ding took out a piece of ginseng and put it in Zhang Dahu's mouth. He hadn't eaten for a day, so Erlaizi asked Dafang to stay in the clinic while he went out to buy something to eat.
Er Laizi was walking on the street, preparing to buy some buns, when he happened to meet Jiang An and his two companions who had just returned to the county.
Jiang Li shouted, "Second Beggar, long time no see."
Er Laizi raised his head and saw three people coming towards him. He forced a smile and greeted them.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so sad?"
"My dad is sick, and I don't know if he can be cured!"
Jiang Li had heard from Jiang Tuantuan that Zhang Dahu had helped the Jiang family a lot in the past. The three of them followed Er Laizi to the clinic to see Zhang Dahu, and the situation was indeed not optimistic.
Jiang Dafeng said: "If you need any help, feel free to ask."
"Thank you, Uncle Dafeng."
Two days passed, and because of the continuous use of ginseng slices, the only savings were used up, but in order to treat the disease, many of the family's pigs, cattle and sheep were sold.
But he still wasn't getting better. After taking his pulse, Doctor Ding shook his head and said, "It's too late. He should wake up in the afternoon. If you have anything to say, tell him now."
Dafang was a little bit unbelievable. How could this happen? My father looked in good health before.
Doctor Ding said calmly, "It's fate. There's nothing we can do about it."
In order to see Zhang Dahu for the last time, Dahu's wife also rushed over with her children.
When Zhang Dahu woke up in the afternoon, he saw that the family members he cared about most had come, and he smiled with tears in his eyes.
"Don't be sad, this is fate. In fact, I already felt that this was the end for me. It's all my fault for killing so many lives in this life. I committed so many sins. Even though I did a lot of good things later, it was useless. I still can't escape it."
He said, "After I leave, please close the butcher stall and stop killing animals."
He looked at Dafang and the child in her arms and said, "I will be satisfied if I can see you get married and have children in this life."
Then he said to Er Laizi, "After I'm gone, you must treat Dafang well and never let her down."
Er Laizi nodded repeatedly, "I swear I will treat Dafang well for the rest of my life."
Finally, he said to his wife, "The person I feel most sorry for in this life is you. You stayed with me when I was at my poorest. It's a pity that I have to leave now. You must take good care of yourself in the future."
After saying this, Zhang Dahu closed his eyes forever, and bursts of crying were heard from the room.
Doctor Ding sighed outside the door. As a doctor, he had seen too many separations of life and death. Life and death are determined by fate and cannot be controlled by humans.
After learning the news, Jiang An and the other two also returned to the village to attend the funeral.
Zhang Dahu was very kind to the people in the village during his lifetime. Almost every household had received help from Zhang Dahu, so many people came to the funeral on the day.
The village chief sighed and said, "The saddest thing in the world is when a young person dies after an old one."
Dafang's eyes were swollen from crying. He was the only child in the family and all the family's love was given to her. She now regretted so much that she did not spend more time with Zhang Dahu during his lifetime.
Now there is no chance to accompany you.
