my old life

Chapter 2046 The Price of Kindness

At 05:30 in the morning, the sky was dim, and in this chaotic moment, several people drove away from Huajiang Holiday Hotel quietly.

Except for me and the soldier Huben, there was only a little Windsor in the car, and no one was alarmed.

The car left the hotel gate smoothly. At this moment, I suddenly felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

Originally, I thought that my family had a lot of entanglements, but when something happened, I realized that I was not as strong as I imagined. I only had these few friends around me...

Looking at everything hazy outside the car window, I recalled the streets of my hometown, and the rivers and lakes along the way...

Under the guidance of Little Windsor, the car drove all the way. I lit a cigarette and gave it to Huben, asking him to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself.

"Don't smoke, nicotine will hinder wound healing." Little Windsor looked at me dissatisfied, and I shrugged helplessly.

"Okay, okay." Huben blushed, and immediately extinguished the cigarette without saying a word.

I could see a clue, and I put out the cigarette in the eyes of Little Windsor, not because I was afraid of what would happen to her, but because I didn't want to affect Huben's wound.

The car drove all the way to the direction outside the Tianhe River. After more than an hour, it left the city and came to a deserted place. Farmland can still be seen in the distance.

"Windsor, where is your grandfather?"

"He's working as a barefoot doctor in the countryside, and he'll be here soon."

"Okay, hurry up, soldier!"

The car turned around on the cement road, and finally stopped in front of an ordinary one-story house. There was an old big tree at the door, which was as thick as two people hugged.

After getting out of the car, Little Windsor ran into the bungalow, and Da Bing and I brought down Huben. At this moment, Huben looked much weaker, his lips were purple and his face was blue.

"How did this happen? Hurry up!" I urged anxiously, feeling that Hu Ben's situation was very bad.

As soon as he entered the small bungalow, Little Windsor came out with an old man. When we met, it was really impossible to describe it as an old man... The old man had white hair and wrinkled faces, and his eyes were a little cloudy.

There are some chickens and ducks scattered in the yard, next to a pile of farm tools and a pair of rain boots, the air is filled with the smell of Chinese herbal medicine.

"Grandpa, show me." Little Windsor greeted, and the old man came up and rolled Huben's eyelids, which turned purple!
"You're poisoned, help him in." The old man tapped the pipe, and the soldier immediately helped Huben in.

I followed into the house, which was fairly clean. Next to a small bed was a cabinet for storing Chinese medicine, with the names of various Chinese herbal medicines written on it.

There are countless small drawers densely packed with traditional Chinese medicines, which seem to have been around for some years. Generally speaking, old Chinese medicine practitioners have two brushes.

"Grandpa, what poisoned him?"

"Snake venom." The old man replied without hesitation, and he had already started to rummage through the drawers and cabinets.

"Excuse me, old man, is there a way to detoxify?" I asked politely, but the old man didn't even look up at me.

"Try it, go out and wait if there is nothing to do!"

"..."

Unexpectedly, the old man smelled gunpowder as soon as he opened his mouth, and he looked like a stubborn old man, but now I don't know what to ask for.

Generally, people with eccentric tempers have some skills, I hope Huben is okay!
"Sanming, let's go out first." The soldier greeted me, and I nodded and turned to leave the room.

I lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, looking at the yard full of chickens, ducks and farm tools. At this moment, I didn't feel very good. I came to such a place after running so far.

Nowadays, large hospitals have advanced technology and can treat almost any kind of disease. If it doesn’t work, you have to be sent to the hospital immediately. At critical times, you have to believe in science.

"Who the hell, go and light up the stove and boil the pot dry for a while."

"Ah?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, and I saw a clay stove in the yard with a pile of dry firewood beside it.

When it was too late, I immediately went to light the stove. I have done this kind of thing in my hometown before, and I can be regarded as familiar with it.

In less than 5 minutes, the stove was turned on, and Windsor came out with a pile of traditional Chinese medicine, which seemed to have a lot of tricks.

"What do you need me to do?" Da Bing rubbed his hands and asked, it was obvious that he was more anxious than me.

"Bring me the wine and vinegar."

"Oh." The soldier immediately went to get something, I didn't know what he was going to do.

I saw Little Windsor put Chinese medicine into the pot and dry fry, some need to add wine to dry fry, some need to add vinegar, and some need to deliberately fry...

Dabing and I didn't know how to do it, so we could only stare blankly at the side. We wanted to interrupt for fear of delaying Little Windsor's attention, but we were anxious but couldn't speak out.

After frying all the Chinese medicines, Little Windsor put the medicines into a black sand pot and poured some water into it.

"Little Windsor, how is Huben? Does your grandfather have a solution?" I asked in a low voice, thinking that I might change places quickly.

"Grandpa said he's fine, just take some medicine to drive away the poison..."

"It's that simple?" Da Bing asked in surprise, and I also had doubts.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Little Windsor looked at me curiously, but our words left us speechless.

"Huhu, I can breathe a sigh of relief." The soldier let out a long sigh of relief, and his face became much more relaxed.

"Will he leave any sequelae?" I asked in a low voice, this is what I care about.

"No, grandpa said that the poisoning is not deep, that is, a little bit on the skin and flesh, and it will be fine after a few days."

"Then thank you grandpa for me, I'm really grateful!" I said politely, and Little Windsor waved his hands again and again.

"You're welcome, grandpa has a folk remedy. It would be nice if you don't go to the hospital so soon."

As soon as I heard this, I understood that it is effective to cure diseases and save lives, and the money that should be given cannot be less!
"How much do I need? I don't have much with me. If it's not enough, we'll go get it." I took out the thousands of dollars I had on me, not sure if it was enough.

"Why did you use so much? Just a few dozen yuan is enough, and it is not a valuable Chinese herbal medicine."

Little Windsor's words left me speechless, and I scratched my head in embarrassment, but in fact I was confused in anxiety.

At this moment, the old man came out of the house, holding a pipe in his hand and kept clicking, and the smell of tobacco oil could be smelled from a long distance away.

"Come in and have a look."

"Okay! Thank you, old sir."

Da Bing and I entered the room immediately, and Huben lay there looking in good spirits, the wound on his shoulder was covered with yellow powder, and the unsutured flesh was turned out.

"How are you, Huben? How do you feel?"

"Before I came here, I felt dizzy and nauseous. I didn't know what I ate just now, and I felt much better."

"Whatever works! How did you get cut to the shoulder by the black snake? What's going on here?"

I asked curiously, logically speaking, Huben's skills should not be hurt by the black snake, even if it was a sneak attack!
"She sneaked up on me. At that time, I saw that she didn't have a weapon in her hand, but I don't know where she took out a short-handled samurai sword. It was dark and I didn't react..."

"It's hidden in her hair, I didn't expect that she would dare to put poison on the knife!"

I heard from my second uncle before that there is always a short-handled samurai sword hidden on the black snake, and it will never leave the body whether it is taking a bath or sleeping.

"It's probably something close to me, so use a small dose of poison, or else I'll be planted this time!" The soldier patted his chest with lingering fear, and I also breathed a sigh of relief.

"No matter what, she must get this debt back!" I said viciously, this vicious woman must pay the price!

"A woman, why don't you forget it..." Hu Ben muttered, and I became angry at that time, because I had the same idea as him!

"Forget it? How about this matter? What if you were poisoned to death? What if he killed the soldier? Killing snakes and scorpions don't discriminate between men and women!"

I said every word very clearly, and in my principles, I would not attack women, but Black Snake is an exception!

The black snake tried to kill me several times before, but I still had too many scruples and didn't fight back. This bit of a woman's kindness has turned into today's bitter fruit!

"Sanming is right. Killing snakes and scorpions don't discriminate between men and women. Leave this matter to me!" The soldier patted his chest to reassure him, and I waved my hand as soon as he finished speaking.

"The black snake is mine, no one should snatch it from me!" I narrowed my eyes slightly, all the murderous intent gathered in my heart would kill her!
