Chapter 123 The Grave Was Dig Up
After dinner, Feng Xiaowan called Lu Qingqing into the room to talk.
She said that ever since her father applied the white-headed phlegm ointment to his legs, he no longer complained of pain. Occasionally, when he felt cold or uncomfortable, he would apply it again.
In previous years, the rainy season was the hardest time for him!
She also mentioned that her mother's illness had improved a lot, and her mother planned to bring the neighbors to see Lu Qingqing for treatment after she finished planting medicinal herbs.
The elderly couple has now done a lot of publicity for Lu Qingqing in the village.
Before long, someone should come to see a doctor.
Especially women.
Lu Qingqing teased Xibao, listening with a smile, but her mind was a little confused.
Her older brother and sister-in-law, and her younger brother, are extremely proud and supportive of the fact that she is a doctor.
She herself certainly enjoys practicing medicine.
It's not her style to back down before something has even happened.
But now she cherishes her family.
I cherish it dearly.
After she finished speaking, Lu Qingqing went to find her father.
Old Man Lu sat in the courtyard enjoying the cool air, fanning himself with a large palm-leaf fan and looking up at the stars, perhaps lost in thought.
"father."
Lu Qingqing took a wooden stool and sat down next to him.
"Daughter."
Old Man Lu flicked his wrist and fanned her.
"Dad, let me ask you something! If you could go back in time, to before my mother saved that child, would you stop her from doing so?"
Why are you asking that?
"Father, tell me if you will stop her, if you will never let her touch anything related to medicine again."
Old Man Lu paused for a while before shaking his head: "No, I will find a way to prevent those people from taking the child away, so that your mother can focus on treating the patient to the end."
Your mother is a doctor, and regardless of what outsiders think or whether they approve, she is one.
I could stop her, but I wouldn't do it, because it would upset her.
To put it bluntly, it's all because her father is useless. If she had married a powerful man, he could have protected her no matter what.
"No, Father, no powerful man is as good as you."
Lu Qingqing was deeply moved.
Where can you find a good man like her father!
Old Man Lu laughed after hearing this and used a fan to drive away the mosquitoes from Lu Qingqing.
"Father, do you like me practicing medicine?"
"Of course, practicing medicine is the best thing. I never expected that you would suddenly understand medicine. It's your mother's blessing from heaven."
She hopes you will walk the path she longed to walk but could not, and she will surely protect you from now on.
They're all so old, yet still so naive.
Lu Qingqing took it seriously.
"Yes, I will definitely be safe."
"By the way, Qingqing, Dad knows quite a few words now. I recently finished reading the book your mother left behind, but... there are some parts I don't understand."
Old Man Lu finally swallowed his pride and asked his daughter for help.
He was puzzled, but more than that, he had some kind of unbelievable delusion.
What kind of shame do they have?
Is it poetry?
"No. Father, let me show you."
Old Man Lu went inside to get it, and Lu Qingqing heard Lu Yun say slyly, "Dad, you rub it eight hundred times a day, why don't you stop looking at it so late at night?"
"Shut your ass!"
"..."
Old Man Lu came out carrying an oil lamp, still grumbling, "Once the house is built, move it out quickly, don't sleep in the same room with me anymore!"
Then, in a gentle voice, she said, "Qingqing, on this last page, what do you think your mother is trying to express?"
That page read:
I don't want to leave; I don't want to leave the carpenter and the child.
It was too short, the time was too short.
But what can I do?
I'm supposed to die by sunset tomorrow...
Lu Qingqing looked up in surprise and saw her father's expectant gaze.
"Did my mother die at sunset?"
"yes!"
Old Man Lu's voice trembled: "But your mother isn't a fortune teller, how would she know when she would die?"
That's right!
This page doesn't convey the sorrow of impending death, but rather... the feeling of being forced to leave them!
Lu Qingqing suddenly thought of the short videos in modern times. Could it be that her mother was bound to some kind of system, and after the mission was over, she was taken away by the system?
Is Mom a modern person?
No, no, no, you're overthinking it.
Although Lu Qingqing's memory was hazy, she knew that her mother was not a very special person.
"Father, you buried Mother yourself?"
Since you're asking this question, there's definitely something fishy going on!
Old Man Lu was even more excited.
“I buried him, but… but the coffin wasn’t sealed! Your mother said she was afraid it would suffocate him…”
What's there to be afraid of when someone's dead? Father really believed whatever Mother said. Didn't he have any doubts back then?
"Qingqing, do you think it's possible? It's impossible, right? Your mother wouldn't abandon us..."
He kept saying it was impossible, but the expectation in his eyes was about to burst out again as he stared at Lu Qingqing, hoping she would say that her mother was not dead.
How could Lu Qingqing dare to say such a thing so easily?
If Mother really didn't die, why did she abandon her husband and children all these years?
She can't make things up without evidence.
"Father, let's go repair Mother's grave tomorrow," Lu Qingqing said.
"Yes, it's time to repair the grave. It's been eight years, and your mother's coffin must be worn down by insects by now..."
He only hammered two nails into the end of the coffin to prevent it from slipping. Just by looking at whether those two nails are intact, you'll know the truth!
That night, Old Man Lu tossed and turned, baking pancakes all night long.
I finally drifted off to sleep just before dawn.
But soon, I was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
Who set off firecrackers?
Lu Yun pursed his lips and said it was Wang Cuicui getting married.
Fearing that their daughter would be stuck with someone else, Wang Cuicui's parents hurriedly asked someone to find her a husband from a very far away family after that incident.
Today is her wedding day.
"Let your older brother go and send a gift of money too," said Old Man Lu.
Neighbors are expected to give gifts to each other. Although the two families had some disagreements, Wang Defa and his wife realized they were wrong.
Now I greet him whenever I see him.
"hold head high."
After breakfast, Old Man Lu and Lu Qingqing used the excuse of digging for medicinal herbs to take their hoes and head to the foot of West Mountain.
However, when they arrived, they found the grave had been dug up.
Wildflowers withered and scattered, the stone tablet broke in the middle, and dust was everywhere.
Half of the coffin was exposed, with a hole the size of a bowl smashed through it.
Old Man Lu let out a howl and pounced over.
Shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Yue Niang——"
