"Of course, this has always been your home. On the contrary, I was afraid that you would go to that big city and be happy and unhappy. There are red and green plastic runways there and beautifully arranged school uniforms. It is three times bigger than here. On campus, there will be no leaks even when it rains, and every classroom is heated.”
"I definitely won't!" Haizi said hurriedly, reaching out and hugging me, "I don't have a home anymore. My family is only you, grandma, and sister Bai Tian."
When someone relies on you, you will feel warm in your heart.
"Brother knows, study hard and don't let down our hopes, okay?"
"Yeah! I will definitely be the first in my grade every time."
I couldn't help but laugh: "Grades are not the only criterion for measuring hope. I hope you are happy more. Okay, let's go eat the cake. I'll take you to school later."
Haizi nodded and ran out of the room excitedly to eat the cake.
After sending Haizi to school, many villagers greeted me on the way home. After seeing me coming back, one by one said how happy they were.
During the days when I was away, people in the village had to go to the next village for treatment when they were sick. The doctor in the next village had poor medical skills but charged three times as much as me, which made the people in the village somewhat unhappy.
After I came back, I quickly got into work and was still busy every day.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, I saw off the last guest, exhaled tiredly, knocked on my back and prepared to go back and pack things.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the mother from the village rushed in with her son in her arms: "Xiao Rui! My son doesn't know what's going on. He has a high fever."
When I looked at the hammer, the child's cheeks were already red and there were signs of twitching.
"Put him on the bed!"
Picking up the needle, I quickly inserted the needle into the child. After a long time, the child finally stopped twitching and woke up.
"Mom, I feel uncomfortable."
These four words instantly made the hammer's mother burst into tears: "Baby, Mom knows you're feeling uncomfortable. Your brother Rui is helping you see a doctor. After seeing Mom, I'll take you to buy candied haws, okay?"
Hammer nodded, lying on the bed obediently, looking at me with his black and white eyes.
But I felt a little strange, so I stretched out my hand and looked into Hammer's eyes.
I gave Hammer some medicine, but halfway through the medicine, Hammer started to twitch crazily again. He vomited out all the medicine he just drank, and his eyes even started to roll up.
"My dear! My dear, what's wrong with you!"
There was a greenish black under his eyes, and there was a slight bulge at his ghost gate, as if he was entangled by something.
I quickly took out a piece of talisman paper I drew during the day from my room, burned it with a lighter to ashes, mixed it with a little water and fed it to the hammer.
It took the boss's strength to finally drink the medicine bit by bit.
After a while, the hammer spit out a pile of smelly and black stuff. The smell of this stuff was really strong. After a while, the whole house was filled with this smell.
After the hammer finished spitting out, he started crying loudly, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Rui, what's wrong with my hammer? Did he eat something unclean?"
"Probably not. Mother Zhui, you can ask Zhui Zi if you have seen any strange people or things recently when you get home."
We all live in the village, and it is not uncommon to encounter strange things. Mother Hammer immediately understood what I meant and nodded: "I understand."
"I'll take you back, it's too late."
"Yes, thank you, Xiaorui."
Walking on the road in the middle of the night as an orphan and a widowed mother, I felt a little worried.
After packing their things, I sent them home.
Hammer was lying in his mother's arms, his little fists clenched tightly, and he slept very soundly.
When I went back, to be honest, I was a little trembling in my heart.
It is late autumn now, and the croaking frogs around have disappeared, leaving only the whistling sound of the wind, which is particularly desolate.
I swallowed hard and started running wildly on the road.
Halfway through the run, I was really exhausted, so I took a breath and rested for a while.
"Giggle."
A very strange sound suddenly sounded from not far away. A strange cold feeling instantly enveloped me, and a strong sense of crisis made my heart beat faster.
According to my experience, this is usually a sign that something is going on.
I looked around and jumped directly into the pond.
The water can hide my breath very well, and those slightly yellow lotus leaves can also block my figure.
"Giggle."
The sound began to get closer and closer. A woman who was eight feet tall wearing a white dress and holding a white umbrella was walking on the road with a very weird walking posture.
My eyes widened and I looked at the woman in front of me in disbelief.
The woman didn't seem to notice me and walked forward step by step.
It wasn't until the gurgling sound and her figure disappeared completely that I dared to come up from the pond.
The cold wind blew by, and I couldn't help but shiver. I didn't dare to stay here anymore and ran home quickly.
After soaking in the water and blowing the wind, I took off my clothes, took a cold shower, and made some ginger soup. But despite this, I still felt dizzy and bloated the next day, and my nose was stuffy.
Even after drinking a large bottle of medicine, I still felt sick all over.
"Xiao Rui, are you okay? If you are really uncomfortable, just rest today. Auntie, I can come back tomorrow."
Seeing that I was unhappy, many aunts advised me to go and rest early.
"It's okay, Auntie, I just need to hold on. Don't worry, there's nothing serious about your body. It's just that you were overworked when you were young and got the root of the disease. I'll prescribe some plasters for you. Just apply it on your behalf."
"Don't you need medicine?"
I smiled, stood up, took out the ointment from the medicine cabinet behind me and wrapped it up: "You just have a flesh injury, you don't need medicine, so you don't need to pay me."
"Hey, I just said it's better to see a doctor here in Xiaorui. When I went to see him before, the doctor in the next village insisted that I take medicine. It was bitter and I didn't like taking it."
These aunts have a very good relationship with me, and I smiled and echoed a few words.
Because I was not feeling well today, the patients were considerate of me and would go home as long as the illness was not too serious. So I ended the consultation very early today, drank medicine and lay down in bed to sleep.
In my sleep, I always heard a faint sound of gurgling. In a daze, I saw a woman wearing a white dress and holding a white umbrella walking around my house. She was too tall. , almost reaching the ceiling.
