What Tian Jingui didn't expect was that she came to Majiazhuang and asked about Ma Langzhong's residence - in front of the old house with tall blue bricks and blue tiles and a horse-head wall, there was a wooden sign hanging on the lintel, writing a letter. Five bold words: Ma Langzhong Clinic, but there is an "Iron General" hanging on the door.
It's over, the groom is not at home. Tian Jingui covered half of his swollen face with his hands and muttered to himself sadly.
I was turning around and walking away. Before I could walk out of the place in front of me, I heard a mother's voice: Are you looking for Ma to see a doctor?
Tian Jingui looked around and saw a gray-haired mother sitting in the corner of the room, also looking at her. She nodded repeatedly. The mother said that my son had been ill for the past few days, so he stayed at home.
Tian Jingui walked over slowly and said, Ma Langzhong should not be at home! You see the doors are locked. The mother said that Youneng deliberately hung the lock on the door to prevent people from looking for him.
When Tian Jingui walked up to his mother, the smell of medicine hit his nostrils. It turned out that his mother was guarding a basket of herbs drying on the field.
She deliberately said, "Old man, will your son stop seeing doctors in the future?" Mom said, where? He was drying baskets of herbs, wasn't I guarding them for him? In a few days, he will feel better and will treat people. He has been really angry these days.
Tian Jingui let go of the hand covering half of his swollen face and showed it to his mother, and then said worriedly, "Old man, please do well. I was herding pigs in the valley this morning and my face was stung by a wasp. Now it is very swollen. Since there is no other doctor with higher medical skills, I am counting on your son, Ma Langzhong, to treat me. This cannot be delayed, otherwise, this side of my face will become swollen and bigger, and I will be so ugly that no one can see me. This is all a trivial matter. The problem is that I can't even open this eye.
My mother was crying a little when she spoke, and her face was swollen like a steamed bun, which was really ugly. Then he stood up and said, "Wait here, and take care of the herbs drying in the basket for me, so that they won't be ruined by livestock or anything else." I will tell my son for you and ask him to treat you. You really can't delay your illness.
Thank you very much. As Tian Jingui spoke, he saw his mother leave her seat, hunched over, and slowly walked along the corner of the house to the slope house behind the main house.
She could no longer see her mother, but she heard a "yeah" sound. The back door must have opened, and her mother had entered the room to talk to her son about what Tian Jingui was looking forward to.
After a cup of tea, Tian Jingui waited until he was a little impatient. He heard the "clang" of the back door again, as if it was closed. He was about to go around to the back of the house to take a look, but found that his mother came out and walked slowly to the sun. Next to the basket of herbal medicines, Tian Jingui looked at Tian Jingui who was approaching her and said, "I'm sorry, my son is too stubborn. I tried to persuade him, but he just didn't want to come out to see you. He said that he himself was sick with anger."
Is it okay if I knock on the door and beg him? Tian Jingui said stubbornly, with a painful expression on his face.
I am his wife and I won’t listen to anything I say to him. If you are an outsider, will he listen? Besides, the back door is closed. Mom sat back on the chair again and said without hope.
Tian Jingui thought to himself: Didn’t I come here in vain? He was angry and sick, and it wasn't me who made him angry, and it wasn't me who made him angry. Why didn't he treat the bee venom with me? She did not express the resentment in her heart, but said to her mother, "Old man, who made your son so angry?"
My mother sighed and remained silent for a long time. Then she said, I was almost mad at that unscrupulous mother and daughter. Tian Jingui took the conversation and asked, what's going on? Can you tell me?
This question seemed to touch the pain in my mother's heart. She shook her head first, then scolded the parents as if to relieve their hatred, and then told the reason - one day, a girl named Hu Lixin was crying. She came to my son and told her that her father died early and her mother was blinded by crying. She has been walking with a cane for more than half a year. The family was destitute and had no money to send my mother to the hospital for treatment. I come to beg you today. I just want to swear to you, which can also be regarded as a vow to God: If you, a doctor, cure my mother's blindness and let her see and stop using a cane, then I will marry You are a daughter-in-law, and you don’t want a penny of betrothal gift.
At that time, Ma Youneng did not express his position. When his mother heard this, she asked Ma Youneng, "Son, are you sure you can cure her mother's blindness?" Ma Youneng said, I can't answer until I see her mother's symptoms.
Then, Hu Lixin took Ma Youneng to see her mother's blind eyes. After seeing it, Ma Youneng told her at that time, I have a way to treat your mother's invisible eyes until she can see again, until all eyesight is restored. However, it will take four months.
Hu Lixin said that as long as the treatment is good, it can last for half a year or a year. Ma Youneng said, that's fine.
As a result, Ma Youneng prepared medicine by himself every day and took it to Hu Lixin's home to give her mother a treatment. Thinking that as long as the old man's eye disease was cured, she would become his mother-in-law, he was particularly excited. He personally fed her the medicine that should be taken internally and washed the medicine that should be washed externally.
After three months of hard work, Hu Lixin's mother's eyes completely recovered in less than four months. Of course they are happy, mother and daughter, and even more happy are Ma Youneng and his wife, because soon the young and beautiful Hu Lixin will become the Ma family's wife.
But when Ma Youneng went out to buy a brand new set of wedding furniture to surprise Hu Lixin, the situation changed, and Hu Lixin and her daughter ran away quietly.
When Ma Youneng found their home, he even sold the house and became another head of household. Ma Youneng asked around, but he didn't know the whereabouts of their mother and daughter. They seemed to have disappeared from the world. Ma Youneng became angry because of this. He locked all the doors and didn't see a single patient for several days.
When Tian Jingui heard about this deception, he also scolded the mother and daughter for being so unconscionable that they would die a good death.
Her mother looked at her and repeated that it was because of this that she became sick. So these days, he doesn't accept anyone who comes to treat them. You'd better go elsewhere to find a doctor to treat the bee venom! Don't delay. Tian Jingui came from so far away, so her trip was in vain. Now she is really not willing to leave here. There were no doctors in the nearby villages, and she had to go to the county town to find one. She had no choice but to rush to the county town.
My mother saw Tian Jingui, who was unhappy, leaving the place in front of the house. When he reached the corner, his figure was already obscured by a poplar tree. Suddenly I found her turning around again, and my mother was about to ask her why she was turning around. She whispered something to her mother, which made her smile and keep nodding.
Mom combed her temples and said, "You have been waiting here. I'll go talk to Youneng and see if he agrees." If I don't agree to treat this bee venom with you, you should leave quickly and get treatment elsewhere without delay.
When Tian Jingui saw his mother getting up and walking towards the sloping house behind the main house, he sat on a chair and waited.
After a while, my mother came out, holding a key in her hand, and said with a smile on her face, "Hey, you have a good idea. I agreed, gave me the keys, and asked me to open the front door." Just go in through the front door and he will treat the bee venom with you.
