Whether it is modern people or ancient people, they generally like to use the word "house with four walls" to describe poverty, but Xia Yuanqiu feels that this is not accurate.
At least there are four walls in the "Family", but the house she lives in is probably only 3.5 walls. Holes can be seen everywhere. It doesn't matter whether there is a roof or not. Lying in the house, looking up at any angle, You can see the sky full of stars.
This is the real poverty!
Xia Yuanqiu kept comforting himself. This house was only one piece of glass worse than the sunrooms of modern wealthy people. It was very good, very good.
Her wild thoughts were interrupted by a burst of crying. No need to listen carefully, that sharp and highly recognizable voice was as sharp as a butchered pig. Who else could it be besides Aunt Zhang next door
The younger brother who was sleeping next to her rubbed his eyes and sat up: "Sister, what's going on at Aunt Zhang's house? Did something happen?"
Xia Yuanqiu shrugged: "I don't know."
Xia Yuanhao is good friends with the fat guy next door. They often secretly bring some food from home to Yuan Hao. Xia Yuanqiu also likes this fat guy, but Aunt Zhang is not a kind person. She bullies her and Yuan Hao because they have no father or mother. She didn't like people who were sarcastic and mean, so she didn't plan to go next door to care about her neighbors.
"Go to bed quickly. Didn't we agree to go up the mountain tomorrow? If we don't sleep now, we won't be able to get up tomorrow morning." Xia Yuanqiu urged her brother, who was three years younger than her, to go to sleep, but the crying next door became louder and louder.
Xia Yuanhao rolled over and got out of bed. At ten years old, he was already very tall, almost as tall as his sister who was three years older than him: "No, I want to see Xiaopang." Yuanhao ran out.
Xia Yuanqiu was afraid that Xia Yuanhao would be bullied at Xiaopang's house, so he followed him out.
Old Zhang's house was noisy, and everyone was whispering about something, but these voices were all muffled by the howling voice of Old Zhang's wife.
Yuan Qiu followed Yuan Hao to squeeze into the front of the crowd of spectators, and saw Lao Zhang's wife sitting on the ground crying, while Xiaopang was lying next to her, her face was blue and purple, and her left foot exposed to the air was obviously swollen than her right foot. There are many, and there are two obvious red spots on the instep, and the area around the red spots has begun to turn purple.
Fatty was bitten by a poisonous snake, but the doctor who came over was helpless and told Fatty that there was no way he could be saved and that he had to prepare for the funeral. That's why Aunt Zhang was crying so miserably.
Lao Zhang and his wife had been married for ten years before giving birth to a baby boy. The baby was so precious. Now that he suddenly heard the bad news, how could he bear it
Yuan Hao also roughly understood the whole story. Looking at the unconscious little fat man, he started crying with runny nose and tears.
Yuan Qiu sighed, looked at Xiaopang's purple face, and whispered: "You're lucky to have met me today, otherwise your life will have to be dealt with." Yuan Qiu turned around after saying this. I walked up to the middle-aged doctor, opened the doctor's medicine box on the ground, rummaged around, and found a needle bag. For doctors practicing medicine in this era, a needle bag is a must-have.
"Hey - what are you doing, girl? Get it back quickly." When the middle-aged doctor saw Yuan Qiu taking his needle pack, he quickly reached out to grab it.
Yuan Qiu avoided it deftly, smiled, and said: "Doctor, please lend me your silver needle for a while. Life is at stake. I will save Xiaopang first before I apologize to you."
The middle-aged doctor was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Just you?"
"Don't believe it? Why don't we make a bet? If I save Fatty, your pack of needles will be mine. If I can't save him, I'll pay you ten packs of needles. How about that?" Yuan Qiu looked at it with a half-smile. The middle-aged doctor had a pair of bright eyes on his dark face that shone with dazzling light. The middle-aged doctor who just thought she was ugly now found her quite pleasing to his eyes.
