"I'm recovering well. I can bask in the sun in the yard now, but the autumn wind is a bit cold. I can't sit there for too long." Uncle Zheng has always been like this. He arrived before anyone arrived, and he was still at the door of the courtyard. , the loud voice has spread throughout the entire courtyard.
I stood up and almost took small steps to greet Uncle Zheng. No wonder, the wound was still hurting. If I wanted to take long strides, the speed would be "turtle crawling". If I wanted to go faster, It can only be done in small steps.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that a young man like Chen Chengyi could walk in such a "weak willow and support the wind" step. That's good, I'll bring you a handkerchief another day. You can also make an orchid finger to wipe away the sweat while walking. "Uncle Zheng burst out laughing, joking without any scruples.
But I broke out in a cold sweat, because following Uncle Zheng's words, I couldn't help but picture myself in my mind, walking in small steps, walking a few steps, wiping sweat with my orchid fingers, and then a mess appeared in my mind. , he looked like he collapsed just thinking about it.
But I won't argue with Uncle Zheng's joke. When Uncle Zheng walked into the courtyard, after chatting with him for a few words, he forcibly called him into the house.
When we entered the room, Uncle Zheng insisted that I lie down, but I insisted on sitting. I always felt that I would recover faster this way, and at least I looked more energetic.
Uncle Zheng didn't force me and just let me sit. Then he took the cloth bag from his body, took out the medicinal materials from the cloth bag, and called the young man to put the medicinal materials away.
"Uncle Zheng, there is still a lot left from what you brought last time, which is enough for this month. Even I can't bear any more. I don't understand Chinese medicine, but I understand. There are two different things: over-replenishing and insufficient replenishing." I watched another pile of precious medicinal materials being taken out from Uncle Zheng's bag, just like taking ordinary herbs, and I couldn't help but feel sad. This problem is related to It was developed when the master was together. At that time, our master and apprentice were in trouble, and there were not many medicinal materials left. The relationship between the master and the uncles did not 'break the ice', and he never asked Uncle Chen if he wanted to save face. To get medicinal materials, he always calculated his life based on the medicinal materials in hand.
It's really strange to say this. I suddenly remembered a detail. After Master took me to attend a gathering at Uncle Li's place, I felt that there were more exchanges between our two generations of 'Old Li people'. I once heard their vague words I mentioned that some grudges seemed to have occurred in the middle, it was about my little sister-in-law. I am not too sure. Just now I subconsciously thought of the word "breaking the ice", and then I realized that our generation got better because of our relationship. I didn’t think too much about it, and I missed a lot of details of the previous generation.
I don't know why I thought of this, until Uncle Zheng shouted again with his unique loud voice: "In short, follow the prescription and the dosage. You won't overdo it. As long as you don't overdo it, your body will be fine." It won’t be exhausted until it is replenished. As for what you can’t finish eating, you can take it away, there is still a pile at home! In short, it’s all yours.”
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment. What do you mean, it's all mine? What Uncle Zheng said is a bit strange.
Speaking of which, Uncle Zheng is a careless person. He looked at me with confusion in his eyes, and he immediately lowered his head with a guilty conscience. It was as if there were no words written on his face like "I'm hiding something."
After living for so many years, I have not lived like a human being. Instead, I have become more and more simple as I live. I found it a little funny, but I didn’t dare to laugh. Instead, I put on a serious face and asked: "Uncle Zheng, who are you?" Are you hiding something from me?"
Uncle Zheng said nothing, looking around to divert attention. He obviously couldn't lie, but he also wanted to hide it.
I sighed and said: "I ask myself that I have done nothing wrong, but now I am in this situation. I have lost contact with my family and friends, and almost died. In the end, Uncle Zheng, you have to hide it too me?"
I said this on purpose, not to use scheming to deal with an old man, but in my current situation, any information might be of great help to me, and I had 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 I can't let you know, I won't let you know. With your current situation, you know too much." Once the impulsiveness is exposed, it will be inconvenient to do anything secretly, and the door to getting help will be completely closed."
"What do you mean?" I asked with a frown as I took a sip of water.
"Well, others don't ask me to hide it, so I'll just tell you! These medicinal materials were given to me privately by Jiang Yi's men. When I arranged the room for Jiang Yi, I did it very secretly... At the same time, I also brought some words, let's go out to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, wait somewhere by yourself, wait by a boat, and save your life when the time comes, and you will also use these medicinal materials. . Then he explained that after rescuing you, there will be someone to pick you up in whichever village you go to." According to Uncle Zheng's character, since he told me his decision, he naturally said everything in one breath.
"Are these things decided by his subordinates, or were they ordered by Jiang Yi?" My wound was aching again, and I thought of Jiang Yi's several shots, even if they were to save me, they were really cruel.
"Of course it was Jiang Yi's intention. The reason was not explained to me at the time. After that, didn't I just save you and then return to the village? Grandma Yun brought me another letter, saying that Jiang Yi asked her to deliver it to Mine. The letter didn't say anything specific. It just said that I was sorry that I couldn't explain too much to us. It might not be troublesome to get involved, but it would be troublesome if I knew too much. In addition, it just told me that you are somewhat young and impulsive. If it is accidentally revealed that he is helping you, he will close a door for himself instead. He will not be able to help you in the future, so let me hide it from you as much as possible." Uncle Zheng finished in one breath.
And I turned the cup in my hand, frowned and said: "It won't be exposed, I'm not a child anymore." Yes, I can understand Jiang Yi's concerns, acting is always acting, and true emotions are always There is always a difference between real emotions. It seems that he would rather I really hate him than expose his side. Even the female doctor is always willing to admit that the department is helping me, not Jiang Yi. help me.
It's so confusing. I'm the most innocent one. I don't even know what happened? Putting me into a certain death situation.
However, Jiang Yi really underestimated me this time. What he didn't know was that there was once a man named Lao Hui who gave me a vivid 'acting lesson' at the door of a certain warehouse. He didn't understand me either. Regarding the specific experience, I am still as green as when I first came into contact with him.
"As long as it's not exposed, Chengyi, I'm really worried about your situation, although I'm also in a daze and don't know anything. If Jiang Yi hadn't explained it in advance, I would really have taken action against you that day. He stood up! But even if he took action, I didn't expect him to use a gun. He was so cruel. It was like gambling. If you are not careful in the process, you will die." Uncle Zheng sighed with emotion.
Yes, it is indeed too dangerous, but if I want to save my life under such powerful forces, I can only take such desperate risks, right? I tried to analyze all the details and speculate on Jiang Yi's psychology, but there was too little information and I couldn't draw any conclusions, but it reminded me of one thing.
"What did Jiang Yi do after I was kicked into the water by Jiang Yi?" I asked.
"Him? He glanced at the sky and then left quickly. As soon as he left, I quietly dived down to rescue you." Uncle Zheng recalled carefully.
"That's it?" I tried my best to remember. I always remembered that before I fell into coma, I seemed to see a few dots on the moon. At that time, I thought it was like a scene in a martial arts novel where someone is running away using Qinggong under the moon. Could it be that It's my misunderstanding.
In addition, I am also very confused. There are many experts among the forces who want to put me to death. Among them, there must be masters of fortune telling. It is not difficult to predict my life and death by using divination. Can Jiang Yi completely conceal it by doing so? ? Or did you do something behind your back
In short, everything smelled weird, but I felt like I was a complete little shrimp.
"That's it, Chengyi, although I don't have a sharp mind and can see everything, but after living for such a long time, I can always know some things in the circle. This circle is complicated, and the entanglement of various forces means that It is destined that many things are not black and white, and dealing with them is not as simple as 1 plus 1 equals 2. Chengyi, everyone will face adversity, I just hope that you will not be overwhelmed by adversity." Uncle Zheng said seriously.
"I don't know how. If you survive the catastrophe, what will happen?" I suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, there will be blessings later! In the history of this circle, people with the same situation as you were suddenly oppressed by big forces. I know several of them. They have all overcome their own adversities. I believe You can do it too." Uncle Zheng encouraged me.
I nodded and said, "Yeah, I can do that too!"
I can really get through it. I, Chen Chengyi, will not be a living dead for the rest of my life. I quietly clenched my fists.
