Chapter 258 Treatment at midnight
"I'll go find the captain and beg them." The little boy walked towards the door crying. Then a chaotic sound came from the house. Some people were persuading him, some were stopping him, and in the end the little boy did not go out.
The adults all advised him not to go, saying that he would be beaten if he went, and then his mother would have no one to take care of her.
When Ziyi and Yike heard this, they gently knocked on the shaky door.
The chaotic noise in the room suddenly stopped, and there was silence for a while.
Ziyi knocked on the door again, and someone finally came to open it.
"Who are you?" asked the man who opened the door.
"We are from this village, and my wife can treat illnesses."
"Sister, please help my mother, I beg you." When the little boy heard that Yi Ke could treat illnesses, he knelt down in front of Yi Ke.
"Get up, I'm here to treat your mother. If you keep kneeling like this, you'll delay my treatment." Yi Ke quickly reached out and pulled the boy up.
Ziyi used a flashlight to help Yike with lighting, while Yike first disinfected the woman with alcohol and then applied ointment on her.
"What's your name?" Yike asked the little boy.
"My name is Xu Chaoqun, and my mother's name is Wu Feifei."
"Oh, where's your dad? Isn't he here?"
"My dad, I heard, was sent to the Great Northern Wilderness."
"Oh, did you see how I applied the medicine just now?"
"I see clearly."
"Here, hide this bottle of medicine. From now on, help your mother apply the medicine every day. And take this pill twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, one pill each time." Yike explained carefully.
"Thank you, sister." The little boy was so moved that he wanted to kneel down and thank her again.
"Don't kneel down casually. If you want to express gratitude, just remember it in your heart. A man's knees are worth gold. If you kneel too much, the gold will be gone and you will starve. Go and get some water for your mother to take her medicine." Yi Ke lied to the little boy.
"This child is pitiful. Those people asked him to kneel down before giving him food, so..." an old man nearby sighed. After saying this, he burst into violent coughing.
"Mr. Su, go sit down and have some rest. Feifei should be saved." The middle-aged man helped the old man to sit on the edge of the bed next to him.
"Here, this is for you. It's specially for treating cough." Yike took out a bottle of cough medicine.
There are ten pills in the bottle, which are made from herbs collected by Yi Ke himself.
"Thank you!" The old man took the bottle and poured out a pill and swallowed it. The man quickly handed the old man some boiled water.
"You ate it without even asking. Aren't you afraid it's poison?" Yi Ke said in surprise.
"My dear little girl, you are so kindhearted. Besides, what else do you want from me? My dear little girl, I will never thank you for your kindness! If there is a future and I have a chance, I will definitely repay you."
"Yes, you said so, so you must take good care of your life. I am still waiting for you to repay me in the future."
"Alas! I wonder when it will end? Will I be able to live till then?"
"It will be fine in ten years at most, maybe seven or eight years, so you should hold on."
"Hehe, that's a good idea, little girl. Well, I'll borrow your good words, it shouldn't be a problem to persist for eight or ten years." The old man laughed cheerfully, sweeping away his previous gloom.
Only then did Yike look around the room and saw only two broken wooden boards, bare on top, with no mat.
Wu Feifei was lying on a wooden board, and the other side should be for the old man.
Then the other two people should have no bed to sleep with, because the ground was nothing but mud, and there was a strong smell of feces in the room. This place used to be a place for storing cow dung, dog dung and pig dung, and even though there is no such thing now, the smell is still indescribable.
"Here are some rice and flour, as well as some pills for treating colds and fevers. Instructions are written on them. You can hide them. Don't tell anyone that we are here." Ziyi handed a package to the man.
"Thank you! We will never tell." The man said gratefully, "My surname is Ye, the old man's surname is Lin, and his surname is Huang." The man surnamed Ye introduced.
Ziyi nodded, took Yike and left. This was not a place to stay for long. "My name is Yike. I live at the foot of the mountain over there. If you have any problems, you can come to me. My medical skills are pretty good." Yike did not forget to introduce himself before leaving. He mainly wanted them to come to him for treatment when they were sick, as he could not always pay attention to them. People of their status would most likely not be treated by the sick brigade.
"They are such nice people." muttered the man named Ye.
"Yes, good people still make up the majority." The old man whispered, "What happened tonight must not be told to anyone. If we tell anyone, it will not only harm them, but also ourselves. Xiao Chao, you have to remember to pretend that you don't know them in front of others, okay?"
"Okay, I see. Why isn't my mom awake yet?"
"When the porridge is ready, your mother will wake up and you can have the porridge."
"Xiaoye, bury all these things. Don't leave them outside."
"Okay, I'll go bury it."
After Yike and Ziyi eavesdropped on their conversation, they finally left with peace of mind.
The next day, Ziyi took Du Qingcang and his family to Ma Youcai's cousin's house early in the morning. Yike was determined to join in the fun. Before leaving, he called Ma Youcai and asked him to wait in the county town and not leave. When they arrived in the county town, they drove to Da Niu's house to discuss the marriage.
Da Niu's family had heard about it from Ma Youcai, and they also knew that they were engaged in the mountains. This time, he drove here to discuss the wedding and gave so many gifts. He had both face and substance. Therefore, when everyone was discussing the wedding date, they were very easy to talk to. It was the date Du Qingcang said, and it was the date without any discount. Du Jiankang was so happy that he kept grinning.
In Yi Ke's eyes, that was his stepbrother grinning foolishly, but in the eyes of Da Niu's parents, that was a sign of the future son-in-law being particularly satisfied with his family.
The final negotiation result of the wedding date was the end of the year, and both families were very satisfied with this result.
On the way back, we no longer took that smelly bus. Ziyi was the driver and took everyone back home safely.
After finishing their business, Du Qingcang's family went back to the mountains with Li Haoran the next day. Only Ziyi and Yike stayed in Beishan Village, and of course the bored Ma Youcai.
The members of Beishan Village knew that Ziyi and Yike had returned when they saw the jeep parked at Yike's door. They then remembered the days when Yike helped them make money. Now there is no one in their family making and selling bags anymore. It's not that they can't sell them, but that there is no profit except for the investment.
The bag factory run by the brigade had been disbanded long ago. The sewing machines were placed in the brigade office room and locked. The brigade leader did not allow anyone to touch them, saying that the money for the sewing machines had not been paid back. Whoever wanted them could pay for them, and he would pay back the money for the sewing machines.
The members of Beishan Village are looking forward to Yi Ke's return soon...
