Chapter 29 If you want to die, you can die. No one can stop you.
Gu Xixi helped the old doctor walk along the roadside.
When Uncle Gu saw that they were about to bypass him, he was so angry that he almost fell over.
"Old Qian is hiding from me. You are the one who instigated it, right?"
As Gu Xixi walked, she said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Uncle Qian is the village chief. Can I be his boss?"
Uncle Gu was unwilling to let Gu Xixi run away like this, so he had to give up his position and chased after her angrily:
"And your Third Uncle, I asked him to pay the money, but he played dumb!"
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "Third Uncle has always been the one who respects you the most, so you love him the most?"
"There is nothing that cannot be said between relatives in a proper manner. Don't hurt the relationship. You taught me this at the beginning, and I have remembered it all."
Uncle Gu choked.
He was repeatedly retorted by Gu Xixi, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Gu Xixi and the old doctor were about to come in.
Uncle Gu gathered all his strength, hugged half of the door, and shouted, "Do you know why I came here alone today without anyone?"
Gu Xixi took two steps back and looked at him with her hands in her sleeves.
At her age, she couldn't get too close to him, lest she accidentally bump into him and get blackmailed.
Sure enough, this is what Grandpa Gu was thinking. "No one cares about my family's affairs now, and you still want to help them and step on them one by one."
"Anyway, I'm going to be buried soon. If I don't rest in peace, no one else can rest in peace either!!"
Gu Xixi asked in a bad mood, "So what do you want to do?"
Uncle Gu thought Gu Xixi was scared, so he sneered and said:
"If I get angry to death, get sick, or anything bad happens to me, just expect the whole village to poke your spine!"
"Uncle." Gu Xixi called out.
The old doctor agreed, "What's the matter, girl?"
The two had agreed that in Huachidu Village, the old doctor would still be Xixi's distant uncle.
Anyway, there is not much difference in generation between my uncle and my master.
Gu Xixi said, "My uncle knows medicine. Look at my great grandfather. If he faints from anger, are you sure you can save him?"
The old doctor nodded. "It's easy. Just give him a few injections. If he doesn't wake up, give him more injections."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Mr. Gu and observed him carefully for a moment. "I can hear his breathing is even and long, and there is no obvious odor in his breath. For a man of his age, he is in good health."
"If he wasn't pretending, it wouldn't be easy for him to faint."
"If he doesn't choose to commit suicide, it would be difficult for him to die immediately, in my opinion."
The two of them sang the same tune in front of Uncle Gu and openly discussed his life or death.
Uncle Gu was stunned at first, and then his face gradually turned red.
He pointed at them with trembling fingers, gasping for breath, "You, you..."
The old doctor listened again and said, "Oh, it's not good to get so angry at your age."
"If the liver yang continues to rise, you may have a stroke!"
Gu Xixi asked with concern, "Will a stroke kill someone?"
The old doctor said, "He is in good health and will not die anytime soon. At most he will become paralyzed and unable to move his whole or half of his body. He will have to lie on the kang from now on."
"I've seen his children despise him for being covered in shit and piss, not giving him food or water, and speaking coldly to him at every turn."
He shook his head and sighed, "Oh, living in agony, wanting to die but unable to move, how pitiful!"
Uncle Gu finally calmed down.
He stood there with his eyes wide open and stopped shouting.
My hands no longer shake, my face no longer turns red, and my breathing is no longer rapid.
"I'm not angry. I've seen so many storms in my life. How could I be angry for a kid?"
Uncle Gu muttered a few words as if he was possessed by a demon, then fled away on his crutches.
As he walked away, he was still mumbling to himself, "I don't want to have a stroke. I don't want to live a life worse than death."
"I can't lie down. I've worked hard for most of my life and I still have to enjoy myself."
…
Before dinner, Gu Xixi was still thinking about school matters.
Almost all the villagers are illiterate, which means that it is much more difficult for her scientific planting concepts to be understood.
If we don’t understand it, how can we implement it, let alone promote it?
The old doctor and Mu Nanzhao came out from the west room.
The old doctor hung his head and said nothing. Sometimes he frowned and thought hard, and sometimes he shook his head and sighed.
Aunt Zhang put down a plate of scallion baked eggs and asked curiously, "Xiao Chen, what happened to him? He looks like he has lost his soul."
Mu Nanzhao smiled, "The old doctor should be thinking about something urgent, so don't disturb him."
He looked to his right and saw a person who had lost his soul.
Mu Nanzhao knocked on the table.
Gu Xixi came to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Nanzhao looked at her playfully, "I asked you what was wrong. You have been distracted since you came back."
Gu Xixi sighed and said that there was no village school in Huachidu Village.
Mu Nanzhao understood, "You want to help them."
Gu Xixi sighed in annoyance, "I just want to help myself."
Her eyes slid across Mu Nanzhao and then suddenly turned back.
Isn't this one of the world's top scholars?
The eldest son of Jiangbei Mu family, he has studied with various famous teachers since childhood and will be the future regent.
If he can't be a teacher, no one can.
Mu Nanzhao turned around inadvertently and saw the smile on Gu Xixi's lips, and couldn't help frowning.
"What are you planning?"
Gu Xixi stopped laughing instantly, her expression couldn't be more serious, "No."
"I was just thinking about what to do when we get to the city tomorrow morning."
Mu Nanzhao glanced over coldly, "Play?"
Gu Xixi said calmly, "It's just an explanation."
"I don't have any money right now. How can I have fun without money? The best I can do is just stroll around the streets."
Aunt Zhang was very pleased that the young couple finally made an appointment to go out together, which was a good opportunity for them to develop their relationship.
She smiled and said, "Go ahead and have fun. There's no need to rush back."
"I'll take care of the housework."
Gu Xixi and Mu Nanzhao responded at the same time and looked at each other.
Because Qingtian County was small in area, the government did not set up an official market, and only used East Street, the most prosperous street in the city center, as the central market of the county.
Gu Xixi went shopping for the first time in a long time. Even though the people walking with her were not her favorite companions, it did not affect her good mood.
She loved the vendors selling vegetables, fruits, flowers, plants, dry goods and local specialties, and she would stop and watch from time to time.
Mu Nanzhao reminded in a low voice, "Don't forget why you followed me here."
Gu Xixi answered casually, "I haven't forgotten. Didn't you say it's not time yet?"
As she spoke, she left Mu Nanzhao and ran to the fruit stand opposite.
Mu Nanzhao watched her bargain with the boss, took out a copper coin and bought two big peaches.
Gu Xixi came back, took out a handkerchief and wiped the peach hair, then handed one of them to Mu Nanzhao.
"You must be thirsty. Here you go."
Mu Nanzhao took it but had no intention of eating it.
Are you just going to stand on the street and eat it without even peeling it?
So unsightly...
Slurp!
Mu Nanzhao glanced sideways and saw Gu Xixi had already taken a big bite and was chewing with eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
The juicy sound made Mu Nanzhao's Adam's apple roll.
