Chapter 16 Eye Disease

After believing what Lin Shu said, Fang Dihua's heart, which was bound by hidden pain, loosened up and she felt relaxed and light-hearted. Her breathing became much smoother.

Her frown that had been locked for the past few days relaxed and she whispered, "Only your father and I need to know about this. Don't tell anyone else, not even your in-laws." This

is exactly what I want.

Lin Shu nodded, "Mom, don't worry. If you hadn't come to burn paper, I wouldn't have told you and Dad." Fang

Dihua was relieved to see that Lin Shu was not as stupid as before. She asked Lin Shu to go to bed early and she swept the paper ashes back to mutter to the old man.

After burning paper in his room, Father Lu was waiting for his wife to come out to go to the graves of his parents and ancestors. He heard his wife whispering to his daughter-in-law. As a father-in-law, he naturally couldn't go to his daughter-in-law's room and couldn't eavesdrop, but he was also anxious. Seeing

his wife coming back, he immediately took Fang Dihua's hand, "Hua'er, what are you talking about?"

Fang Dihua first repeated Lin Shu's words, "Dad, our San'er is fine."

Father Lu nodded slowly, "Shaotang's wife can't make up these things, and no one taught her, I think it's credible."

They all saw the changes in Lin Shu. She was really a completely different person from before. If she wasn't possessed by evil spirits, then this was it. They

firmly believed in this kind of thing that could communicate with gods. Just because they could do it didn't mean that others couldn't. They had lived to such an old age and had seen all kinds of strange things.

Dad Lu still remembers that when he was four or five years old, he always saw some people on the roadside with their heads down and their faces covered, but other people couldn't see them.

When he was older, the old man in the family said that the bandit Zuo Di Pao had killed dozens of civilians there, and later Zuo Di Pao went down the mountain to rob and was killed on the road.

The old man said that Zuo Di Pao must have been done by the old man, the eldest man and the men, and said that he could see those people because he had a light fate, and those people were actually protecting him by lowering their heads and covering their faces. If he saw their faces, he would definitely be stupid.

At that time, Dad Lu didn't believe it very much, because he couldn't see later, but his mother did ask someone to tell his fortune and then marry him to a wife with a heavy fate.

Now he believes it too!

Fang Dihua actually smiled, "We suspected that she was mentally ill."

It turned out that it was not because of mental stimulation, nor was it because she was possessed by San'er, but she could go out like the immortals.

Of course, the old couple would keep this to themselves, but they couldn't say it casually to avoid trouble.

In fact, even though there are people in many villages who claim to be able to communicate with spirits, invite gods to possess them, and go out as a spirit, not everyone will be dealt with, after all, the villagers have this demand. Of

course, they have to keep a low profile and do it secretly.

Believing Lin Shu's words, the old couple suddenly unloaded the mountain that was weighing on their hearts and felt relaxed and happy.

Fang Dihua recited the titles of several books that she had memorized by rote, "Old man, do you know where to buy them?"

Old Man Lu nodded, "I know. My eldest brother brought back one, and later he left one when he went home to visit his family."

The old couple had just rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and found an old, yellowed Manifesto without a cover and a copy of Selected Works of Mao Zedong, but not Capital.

Old Man Lu: "In that case, we must go to the Xinhua Bookstore in the county to buy them."

Fang Dihua: "Then let's go buy them tomorrow."

Old Man Lu: "I think it's okay. Let me wash my hands first, and then we will read the Manifesto."

Fang Dihua immediately got him some water and rubbed them with precious soap.

After drying his hands, Old Man Lu respectfully held the Manifesto, opened the title page, and read in a low voice.

He read a sentence, and Fang Dihua followed.

The two were pious and focused, as if they were carrying out a secret and supreme cause.

Sincerity is the key to success!

After a while, Fang Dihua whispered, "His father, are we going to burn the paper money?"

They were afraid that San'er would die, so they wanted to burn some paper money for him as travel expenses. They were also afraid that he would pester Lin Shu and wanted him to come and find his parents. They were also afraid that Lin Shu would be disturbed by the words of those bastards like Song Chunfang, so they wanted to burn paper to ask the grandmother on the bed to bless her safety.

Now the third daughter-in-law said that she saw the God Ma, and she was fine, and the third son was fine, so what about this paper...

Father Lu: "When praying to God, you must be indecisive. You can't ask for both. Since we believe in the God Ma, let's burn these for our parents and ancestors."

My parents don't believe in the God Ma, but they still have to burn paper for worship.

Nothing wrong.

Grandpa Lu has been more casual since he was a child.

When he was a child, he went to a private school and read a lot of books, mostly because of his interest. He was not bound by the traditional old scholars, nor was he strongly enlightened and indoctrinated with advanced ideas by the new school.

He was just a farmer who had read books and had industry.

He is not very noble, and he will not break away from his own vision and cognition. He is not a Buddhist but believes in karma. He does not believe in God that much, but he likes to burn incense and worship God when the occasion arises. He goes to the graves of his parents and grandparents to burn paper. He even believes that the dead have spirits or that there are souls in the world.

In short, he decides whether to believe or not based on his needs.

At this time, he believes for his son, and believes very devoutly and attentively, and even starts to recite.

Until he fell asleep due to drowsiness.

Lin Shu was disturbed in the middle of the night. She wanted to sleep a little longer, but was woken up by the big rooster in the village early in the morning.

Although there are not many big roosters in the village, they are very hardworking. As soon as the sky in the east turns light, they start to crow like a competition.

The courtyards here are all open, and there is no interlayer glass for sound insulation. A big rooster in the village can be a wake-up call for the whole village.

Lin Shu sat up in a daze. At this time, her elder sister-in-law and second brother were already outside repairing the vegetable patch. They didn't see her parents-in-law, so they might have gone to their private plots.

When she yawned, she found that there were several big mosquitoes with bulging bellies on the mosquito net! ! ! There were

many mosquitoes in the countryside at that time, and there were no mosquito coils or floral water. The only way to prevent mosquitoes was to use screens and old-fashioned mosquito nets.

Last night, because I got up to burn paper at night, several mosquitoes came in and bit Panpan several times.

The pink mosquito bites bulged on her white and tender face and small fleshy arms, which looked pitiful.

Because of Panpan's sacrifice, she and Tiantian were not bitten.

She felt extremely guilty and quickly put on her clothes and went to ask her mother-in-law for some ointment.

Father Lu is a filial son. In order to take care of his mother, he started to learn medicine from an old doctor when he was seven years old. He was not proficient in pulse diagnosis and diagnosis, but he knew a few common ailments. He was good at scraping, cupping, acupuncture and moxibustion, which he often used for his mother.

In fact, it was already amazing to be proficient in the combination of a few herbs and the diagnosis and treatment of a few diseases in those days. After all, herbal medicine is profound, and the properties, pharmacology and compatibility of the medicines are also complicated and varied. It is impossible to be proficient in everything.

Many well-known old doctors are only proficient in the diagnosis and treatment of a few diseases and the use of a few prescriptions. They dare not say that they are poor in the use of herbs.

Father Lu is meticulous and likes to think. According to medical books and the teachings of his master, he has made a few useful prescriptions and solved many problems in life.

This mint lithospermum ointment is one of them.

The lithospermum ointment uses soft lithospermum from the northwest, which is not available locally, so it is relatively rare.

A few years ago, when Old Man Lu was still the accountant of the brigade, he had the opportunity to go to the city to learn once. He bought some lithospermum from the Chinese medicine store and boiled a pot of lithospermum ointment by himself. Most of it was used up and now there is only a small bottle left.

Fang Dihua kept it and used it reluctantly. She would rather the smell of the medicine go away than give it to others. Before, Second Sister-in-law Lu and Sister-in-law asked for it several times, but she refused to give it to them, and only let them use the mint water that Old Man Lu had just prepared.

The mint water is much less effective.

Lin Shu went downstairs to open the door, but found that her parents-in-law were still in the east room, and were... giving acupuncture?

Old Man Lu's acupuncture skills are very good, because his mother has eye disease and needs acupuncture the most to relieve pain.

At this moment, the acupuncture point map on the wall was all blackened by the smoke and could not be seen clearly.

He was giving Fang Dihua acupuncture on the eye socket acupuncture points. Fang Dihua also had an eye disease, and her left eye always hurt.

Her eyes were different from those of her half-blind grandmother. Her grandmother was born with this disease, but she suffered from it later.

It had not happened for two years. Recently, because of Lu Shaotang's matter, she wiped her tears every night, and her left eye was soaked by tears and her old disease recurred. It hurts these days. Last night, she secretly burned paper, and the smoke and fire burned her left eye.

Father Lu: "Go to the county and get some medicine. Take it orally and apply it externally. It will heal quickly."

Fang Dihua: "It's an old problem. I know. Your acupuncture is the best."

Villagers would just endure a headache or fever. Only when the pain is unbearable would they go to the barefoot doctor to get a painkiller. Many people would habitually grab a handful of dried soil or pot ash to press on the wound when they were injured and bleeding. They don't have the habit of seeing a doctor.

Lin Shu said with concern: "Mom, if your eyes are uncomfortable, you should go to the hospital. They have a machine that can diagnose the problem and perform surgery if necessary."

Fang Dihua waved her hand, "Hospitals are all scammers. I won't go."

These days, those who can go to the hospital are all in the late stage of serious illness. Almost no one can be cured. All those who go to the hospital are doomed.

A visit to the hospital for a checkup costs five yuan at the minimum. If there are many tests, twenty yuan is not enough. If you need to stay in the hospital, get injections, and take medicine, the total cost is tens or even a hundred yuan.

Many families work hard and earn only a few hundred yuan in cash. They have to sell their food or raise money everywhere to go to the hospital or get married. They can't afford to go to the hospital at all.

This is the Lu family who is capable and has Lu Shaotang to earn wages. For other families who simply farm and earn work points, many people can't even come up with five yuan in cash. They have to sell iron sheds to pay the two yuan tuition for their children to go to school. Anyway,

the country people didn't come to the conclusion that you should see a doctor early if you are sick, but they only came to the conclusion that hospitals are just cheating people.

Lin Shu: "..."

Isn't this forcing a salty fish like me to use my brain to send you to the hospital?

Hearing Lin Shu asking for the ointment to be applied to Panpan, Fang Dihua gave it all to her without saying a word.

Lin Shu saw that although Fang Dihua's eyes were uncomfortable, her expression was much gentler, no longer so tough and stiff, and it seemed that she believed that Lu Shaotang was fine.

She took the ointment back to apply it to Panpan, and then found the bites on herself and Tiantian and applied them.

Not to mention, the itching effect is really good, better than the one she bought for more than a hundred yuan in modern times.

She wanted to find an opportunity to ask her father-in-law to make some more, so that she could give it to her eldest sister and second sister and sell it secretly.

This is a little secret recipe for getting rich.

Lu Ersao, who got up from the west room to go to the bathroom, smelled the strong smell of comfrey ointment coming from Lin Shu's room, and she was jealous at the time.

The mother-in-law is getting more and more partial!

After breakfast, the adults went to work, and the young women soldiers were outside calling Panpan again.

Lin Shu put a small water bottle on Panpan's back and a cloth bag on Tiantian's back. They were still young, so they just had to play happily with other children every day.

These two children were relatively easy to worry about. As long as they could remember, their grandfather told them not to go to the river, the well, or the deep ditch, not to play with fire or knives, to look for black and cicada monkeys at the edge of the village, and to play with other children on the street. They were very obedient.

After sending the children and the chickens and ducks at home away, Lin Shu wanted to tidy up the vegetable patch before the sun was too hot, and then continue to make shoes for her mother-in-law. When she looked up, she saw that her mother-in-law had actually returned from outside.

Fang Dihua wiped her tearful eyes with a handkerchief and said to Lin Shu, "I borrowed a car to go to the county, you can go with me."

It doesn't matter whether she is going to buy seeds or relax, let her go out and relax.

Lin Shu said happily, "Mom is going to the hospital?"

Fang Dihua: "To buy books."

They studied it last night, and the Ma Shenxian is really useful!

She and the old man are now at peace, no longer dazed.

Although going out for a day will delay earning work points, it is all worth it for the safety of her son.

Lin Shu sighed in her heart. She didn't go to the hospital for her eyes to hurt, but she was very active in buying books for her son. Alas, pitiful parents.

When changing clothes and putting on cloth shoes, Lin Shu suddenly remembered a plot in the original book. The grandmother of the villain Lu Pan seemed to have a problem with her eyes.

Her son and daughter-in-law were gone, and her old man was paralyzed. She was heartbroken but had to force herself to work.

Her eyes hurt more and more, and later her left eye became blind. Because of her blindness, she accidentally fell into a well while working and drowned! ! !

Lin Shu: "!!!"

We must go to the hospital, immediately! ! !
