Chapter 15: Uncle Zheng's Story
"I'm recovering well, I'm able to bask in the sun in the yard, but the autumn breeze is a little cold, and I can't sit for too long." Uncle Zheng has always been like this, before the person arrives, the sound comes first, the person is still at the gate of the courtyard, and the loud voice has spread throughout the courtyard.
I stood up, almost moving small broken steps to greet Uncle Zheng, no wonder I, the wound is still painful, if I want to stride, the speed is 'turtle crawling', if I want to be faster, I can only do this 'small broken steps'.
"Tsk, I didn't expect a young man like Chen Chengyi to be able to take such a 'weak willow to help the wind' step, then dare to be kind, I'll bring you a handkerchief another day, and you can make an orchid finger to wipe your sweat while walking." Uncle Zheng laughed, and he had no scruples when joking.
But I was in a cold sweat, because with Uncle Zheng's words, I couldn't help but think of myself, walking small steps, walking a few steps, wiping sweat with orchid fingers, and then there was a mess in my brain, and I collapsed when I thought about it.
But I wouldn't bother with Uncle Zheng's joke, and when Uncle Zheng walked into the courtyard and exchanged a few words with him, he forcibly called him into the house.
When I entered the house, Uncle Zheng insisted that I lie down, and I insisted on sitting, always feeling that I would recover faster in this way, at least I looked a lot more energetic.
Uncle Zheng didn't force it, let me sit, and then took the cloth bag from his body, took out the medicinal materials from the cloth bag, and called the young man and asked him to put the medicinal materials away.
"Uncle Zheng, there is still a lot of everything you brought last time, which is enough for this month, and if there is more, even I can't afford it. I don't know much about Chinese medicine, but I also understand that there are two things: making up for the head and not making up for the deficiency. "I watched a large number of precious medicinal materials taken out of Uncle Zheng's bag, just like taking ordinary herbs, I couldn't help but feel distressed, this problem was developed when I was with the master, at that time, our master and apprentice had difficulties at hand, and there were not many medicinal materials left, and the relationship between the master and the uncles did not 'break the ice', and he never asked Uncle Chen to take the medicinal materials if he wanted to save face, so he always calculated the medicinal materials in his hands to live.
In this way, it is indeed a little strange, I suddenly remembered a detail, after the master took me to the party at Uncle Li's, I felt that the communication between our two generations of 'old Li people' was more, I had heard them vaguely mention that there seemed to be some grievances in the middle, it was about my little aunt or something, I didn't know too much, just now I subconsciously thought of the word icebreaker, only to find that our generation later because of a good relationship, they didn't think too much, and they had missed a lot of details of the previous generation.
I don't know why I thought of this, until Uncle Zheng shouted in his unique loud voice: "Anyway, according to the prescription, the dosage, you won't make up for it, as long as your body doesn't make up for it, you won't make up for it." As for the ones that can't be eaten, you take them away, and there are still a bunch of them at home! In short, it's all yours. ”
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, what do you mean it's all mine? Uncle Zheng's words are a bit strange.
Speaking of which, Uncle Zheng is a person who has no heart, looking at my eyes with doubts, he suddenly lowered his head weakly, so that there was no writing on his face that I had concealed four big words.
After living for so many years, I didn't live as a human spirit, but lived more and more simple, I looked a little funny, but I didn't dare to laugh, but instead pretended to have a heavy and serious face and asked: "Uncle Zheng, do you have something to hide from me?" ”
Uncle Zheng didn't speak, looking around and trying to divert his attention, he obviously wouldn't lie, but he had the heart to hide it.
I sighed and said, "I asked myself if I did anything wrong, but now I have fallen to this point, I have lost contact with my family and friends, not to mention, everyone is almost dead, in the end, Uncle Zheng, do you want to hide it from me?" ”
I said this on purpose, not to try to deal with an old man, but in my current situation, any information may be of great help to me, and I have to win Uncle Zheng's sympathy.
Seeing me like this, Uncle Zheng was stunned, and then clapped his hands and said: "It's not that I want to hide it, but that others have said hello, if you don't let you know, you won't let you know, with your current situation, you know too much, once the impulse is exposed, it is inconvenient to secretly want to do something, and it will completely close the door for you to get help." ”
"What do you mean?" I asked with a sip of water and a frown.
"Well, it's not that others want me to hide it, so I'll just say it! These medicinal materials were privately handed over to me by Jiang Yi's subordinates, and at the time when I arranged a room for Jiang Yi, I did it very secretly and brought some words at the same time, let us go out to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, where a person is waiting, where a boat is waiting, and when the time comes, save your life, and you will also use these medicinal materials. Then he explained again, after saving you, which village you go to, someone will naturally answer. "According to Uncle Zheng's character, since he decided to tell me, he naturally finished everything in one go.
"Are these things decided by his subordinates, or are they ordered by Jiang Yi?" My wound was aching again, thinking of Jiang Yi's shots, even if it was to save me, it was really ruthless.
"Naturally, Jiang Yi meant. The reason was not explained to me at the time, and after that, didn't it just save you and go back to the village? Granny Yun brought me another letter, saying that Jiang Yi asked her to pass it on to me before she went out. The letter didn't say anything specifically, probably saying that I'm sorry I can't explain too much to us, maybe it's not troublesome to get involved, but it's troublesome to know too much, in addition, it's to tell me, you're a little young and impulsive, in case you accidentally expose it, he's helping you, but it's closing a door for himself, and he can't help you in the future, so I try to hide it from you. Uncle Zheng finished speaking in one breath.
And I turned the cup in my hand, frowned, and said, "It won't be exposed, and I'm not a child anymore." "Yes, I can understand Jiang Yi's concerns, acting is always acting, real emotions are always real emotions, there is always a difference in the middle, it seems that he is willing that I really hate him, and he is not willing to expose his line, including the female doctor who is always willing to admit that the department is helping me, not Jiang Yi is helping me.
It's so foggy, I'm the most innocent one, I don't even know what's going on? It put me in a deadly situation.
However, this time Jiang Yi really underestimated me, what he didn't know was that there was once a person named Lao Hui, who gave me a 'acting lesson' vividly at the door of a certain warehouse, and he didn't know my specific experience, how could I still be as young as when he was in contact.
"It's good that it won't be exposed, Chengyi, I'm really worried about your situation, although I'm also confused and don't know anything. If Jiang Yi hadn't explained in advance, he would have made a move on you that day, and I would have really stood up! But even if he made a move, I didn't expect him to use a gun, it's so ruthless, it's just gambling, and if you're not careful in the process, you'll die. Uncle Zheng sighed.
Yes, it's too dangerous, but if you want to save my life under the big forces, you can only take risks like this, right? I tried to analyze all the details and speculate about Jiang Yi's psychology, but all the information was too little, and I couldn't come up with any conclusions, but this reminded me of one thing.
"After I was kicked into the water by Jiang Yi, what did Jiang Yi do?" I asked.
"He? He glanced at the sky, and then quickly left, and as soon as he left, I quietly dived down to save you. Uncle Zheng recalled carefully.
"That's it?" I was desperately recalling, I always remember that before I fell into a coma, I seemed to see a few small dots on the moon, and at that time I also felt like in a martial arts novel, the scene where someone was running away with light skills, was it my delusion.
In addition, I am also very puzzled, among the forces that want to put me to death, there is no shortage of masters, and there must be masters of the second line of fate in the middle, it is not difficult to open a hexagram to calculate my life and death, can Jiang Yi completely conceal it by doing this? Or behind the scenes, what did you do again?
In short, everything smells weird, and I feel like I'm really a complete little shrimp.
"That's it, Chengyi, although I don't have any heart and eyes, I can see through everything, but I have lived for such a long time, I can always know some things in the circle, this circle is complicated, and the entanglement of various forces is doomed to many things that are not black and white, and it is not as simple as 1 plus 1 equals 2 to deal with. Chengyi, adversity will be faced by everyone, I only hope you don't get crushed by adversity. Uncle Zheng said seriously.
"I won't, if you don't die, what will happen?" I suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, there will be a blessing! In the history of this circle, there are people who have the same situation as you, and suddenly they are oppressed by big forces, and I know of several, and they have all survived their own adversity, and I believe you can too. "Uncle Zheng cheers me up.
I nodded and said, "Well, I can do that too!" ”
It's really okay to get through it, I, Chen Chengyi, won't be a living dead for the rest of my life, I quietly clenched my fists.
