Chapter 220: Sister Hua (2)
I looked at Wu Chen, who sighed, sorted out his thoughts, and began to tell me a rather amazing story.
About 60 years ago, in the mountains of the northwest border, there was a small village called Luohua Village.
Luohua Village is not big, there are about two or three hundred families, because of the remoteness of the area, the people in the village have nothing to live, and they all live a life of farming and hunting.
On this day, a young woman wearing a red cloth jacket came to the village, and it is said that she ran away from marriage to this village.
When this woman first arrived, she was penniless and begging for food.
At that time, although they had land, but in the northwest border, the land was barren, and the family's share of land was not enough for their own food, and they would give a begging person to live.
This also can't be blamed on the villagers, because in the war years, the warlords were fighting, and they were searching for people's fat and ointment, and it was already good to have a stutter, where would there be excess for outsiders?
The young woman begged the owner and the west, and for two whole days, she got half a sweet potato, which was still left over from the children of the family, and she was pitiful and gave it to her.
But the woman was not discouraged, and continued to plead from house to house.
At this time, there was a hunter in the east of the village, surnamed Zhang, whose child was sick, and it was a very difficult disease.
The child's face was covered with white spots, his skin was ulcerating, and his whole body was falling from his flesh, and he was almost dying.
Zhang Orion didn't know how to heal, and he had no choice but to watch the child suffer.
Because there are no good doctors in the few villages around here who can see this disease, they can only wait for death.
Because people die of this disease every year in Luohua Village, this has almost become a terminal illness in Luohua Village.
When the woman passed by Orion's house, she didn't know how to get the news, so she went directly to Zhang Orion and told him that she could treat his child.
At first, Zhang Orion didn't believe it at all, but the woman didn't argue, turned around and walked away.
Zhang Orion thought that this was a madman, so he forgot about it.
I didn't think that three days later, the woman came back, and the red cloth jacket on her body had been torn out with a lot of big holes, and her hair was scattered, and she looked more like a madman.
However, she held a few herbs in her hand and said to Zhang Orion that if she fried these herbs and fed them to the child, the child would be fine.
Zhang Orion looked at the woman suspiciously, weighed it, and decided to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and try it to see, what if he really cured his child's disease?
Anyway, it's like this, and it is estimated that you won't live long if you don't take this medicine.
Zhang Orion gritted his teeth, invited the woman into the house, decocted the medicine under the woman's instructions, and gave the medicine to the child according to the woman's request.
Not to mention, as soon as this medicine goes, the child immediately has energy.
The pain that had been humming and chirping was much soothed.
When Zhang Orion's family saw that it worked, they were immediately elated and entertained the woman for three days.
Three days later, all the injuries on Zhang Orion's body were scabbed, and he saw that he was eating more and more food every day, and he was also jumping alive.
Zhang Lihu offered the woman as a living bodhisattva, and he was very grateful.
The woman smiled and said she wanted to make a home here.
Of course, Zhang Orion was happy, and built a wooden house directly next to his house and let the woman live in it.
Since then, this woman has taken root in the village, and the people in the village call her Sister Hua.
With the help of Zhang Lihu, the villagers of Luohua Village knew that Sister Hua would see a doctor, and if the people in the village had a minor illness or disaster, they all came to Sister Hua to see a doctor.
Sister Hua doesn't charge them either, but the peasant family is embarrassed to see a free doctor, after all, people also want to live, so they just bring something to her.
Even the old village chief of Luohua Village was polite to Sister Hua, the only doctor in the nearby village, and called a meeting with everyone, and gave Sister Hua a few points.
With land, Sister Hua has the foundation to live.
However, Sister Hua divided the land into two parts, one for growing the food she needed for life.
The other is used to grow medicine, Sister Hua often carries a basket to the nearby mountains to pick some medicinal herbs and plant them in her own land to treat the villagers.
Not to mention, with this doctor, the villagers obviously feel that their lives are much better, and this flower sister will treat many minor illnesses and disasters.
She also helps the villagers prevent diseases, saying that there is a plant growing underneath the ancient well at the west entrance of the village, which produces a toxin that can cause skin diseases in some people who are not very resistant.
That's why several people die of that skin disease every year in Luohua Village.
After hearing this, the villagers were so frightened that they didn't dare to drink water, but Sister Hua smiled and said that she could handle it, as long as you saw a bunch of artemisia leaves on the edge of the well in the future, you could rest assured that you would fetch water to eat.
But if there is no artemisia leaf there, it cannot be eaten.
After that, a bunch of artemisia leaves appeared along the edge of the ancient well.
Every once in a while, the Artemisia leaves will wither and turn yellow, and then die, and Sister Hua will replace them with a new bunch of Artemisia leaves.
After having Sister Hua, the villagers were relieved to eat water.
For a while, there was a phenomenon of poultry dying in patches in the village, and for a while, all kinds of rumors spread, such as what demons and monsters, and what God wants to punish the villagers.
Sister Hua took the medicine she configured and went door-to-door to let those poultry eat the medicine she dispensed.
Not to mention, since those poultry took Sister Hua's medicine, the incident of the poultry dying in pieces has completely disappeared.
People asked Sister Hua what was going on, and Sister Hua just said that it was a disease transmitted by poultry to each other, and there were no demons and monsters.
People are convinced of Sister Hua, and they respect her even more after that.
is such a young and beautiful woman with great ability, after living in Luohua Village for a few months, people found that her belly gradually grew bigger.
She is expecting.
This news alarmed the villagers of the whole village, and everyone was talking in private, wondering who the child in Sister Hua's belly was.
Some people say that Sister Hua must be a young lady who escaped from a big family outside, or you see what she is wearing, the red flower cloth cotton jacket, at first glance, it is a happy dress, she must have escaped from marriage, maybe she knew that she was pregnant, and she ran away with her friend, and ended up here.
Of course, gossip has not disappeared for thousands of years, and it is talked about by people.
There are also rumors in the village that the child in Sister Hua's belly belongs to Zhang Orion, and there are even those who say that it is the old village chief.
One absurd rumor after another spread and reached Sister Hua's ears, and Sister Hua only smiled slightly and didn't care.
During that time, it rained heavily around Luohua Village, and the rain was very heavy, and it lasted for many days at once.
Seeing that Sister Hua's belly is getting bigger day by day, she moves around less, and often sits in front of her wooden house, looking at the medicine in the two-point medicine field and smiling.
On this day, an aunt surnamed Sun found Sister Hua and said that their child was sick and asked Sister Hua to help take a look.
It was this incident that triggered the unbearable past in the future. R1148
