Chapter Six
When Long Dashan heard Long Narcissus yelling and cursing, his face wrinkled and he sighed: "Xiaoshan, what are you doing? You don't know that your Aunt Narcissus has such a mouth, she can tell anyone who is dead to survive. You have offended her like this, If she spreads bad words about you outside, it will be difficult for you to find a wife in the future."
"Dad, why are you talking about this? It's too early for me to marry a wife." Long Xiaoshan said nonchalantly.
Long Dashan's lips moved.
If Long Xiaoshan was still a top student at Shuimu University in the past, then twenty-one years old would indeed be early, but now he has become a prisoner in a labor camp. He is already quite old in the village, and marriage should be put on the agenda.
But with the current situation at home, Long Dashan sighed. His originally rickety body seemed to be even more bent...
"Brother!" A timid voice sounded.
Long Xiaoshan hurriedly turned his head, and saw a girl wearing a starched blue dress standing by the door. Her thick black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and her childish face was as pure and beautiful as a hibiscus.
"Little sister!" Long Xiaoshan opened his arms happily.
Looking at my brother's lean body, standing there tall and straight, still wearing a familiar warm smile.
The strangeness in Long Xiaoling's heart that she hadn't seen her brother for several years disappeared in an instant. The baby bird threw herself into Long Xiaoshan's arms like a forest. Her big eyes were instantly filled with tears, and her small and red lips shrank, as if I have accumulated countless grievances and wanted to tell my brother, but in the end I didn't.
Long Xiaoshan felt distressed. He had gone from being a top student at Shuimu University to being a prisoner in a labor camp. His family must have endured so much pressure from gossip.
And today, Long Shuixian brought someone to the door to arrange a matchmaking proposal. How could Long Xiaoling not know about it.
"Don't worry, my brother is back. No one will bully our Xiaoling from now on." Long Xiaoshan gently hugged Long Xiaoling and patted her thin back, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Brother..." Long Xiaoling raised his face, his tearful eyes full of joy.
"By the way, where's our mother?" Long Xiaoshan was a little surprised. Since the younger sisters have come out, why hasn't mother come out yet.
He suddenly saw a flash of sadness on Long Xiaoling's face, his heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "What's wrong with our mother? Has something happened?"
"Brother, mom..."
"Xiaoshan, your mother went to the mountain to pick wild tea a few days ago. She accidentally rolled down the mountain and broke her leg. It's all my fault. Her body is weak..." Long Dashan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply said it.
Long Xiaoshan hurriedly walked to the back room.
As soon as he entered the room and saw He Xiangyue lying on the bed, Long Xiaoshan's eyes were sore, he knelt down in front of the bed and shouted: "Mom."
He Xiangyue looked tired and haggard. She was only in her forties and her hair was half white. When she saw Long Xiaoshan, she struggled to get up. Her eyes showed a look of great joy and said: "Xiao Shanzi, are you home?"
"Yes, Mom, I'm back, don't move." Long Xiaoshan pushed He Xiangyue back to the bed and checked He Xiangyue's feet. They were simply clamped with wooden boards, and no plaster was even applied.
He worriedly said: "Mom, why don't you go to the hospital when your leg is injured like this?"
"For this little injury, go to some hospital and just lie down for a while. What are you going to do with that wasted money?" He Xiangyue said nonchalantly.
Long Xiaoshan was heartbroken, he was not a fool.
If the family's difficulties hadn't reached a certain level, it would have been impossible for me to break my leg without going to the hospital.
"In the past three years, I have owed too much to my family, and I must make up for it." Long Xiaoshan vowed secretly in his heart.
He took out the nine-inch golden needle from his finger and said, "Mom, I learned some medical skills from an old Chinese medicine practitioner in prison. Let me help you treat it first."
Long Xiaoling stood nearby and said in surprise: "Brother, do you know how to heal?"
Long Dashan was a little worried and said: "Xiaoshan, how can a doctor be so good? Don't mess around and break your mother's leg."
"Old man, don't talk nonsense. My son can't believe it." He Xiangyue scolded Long Dashan, looked at Long Xiaoshan and said: "Xiaoshanzi, you can treat it hard, don't worry about your mother."
Long Xiaoshan felt even more sad because only He Xiangyue would trust him so unconditionally.
Long Xiaoshan didn't say anything, and inserted the golden needle into He Xiangyue's legs. After a while, He Xiangyue felt that her legs were hot and numb, and the uncomfortable feeling was greatly relieved. She said in surprise: "Xiao Shanzi, it doesn't hurt anymore." .”
Long Xiaoshan continued to apply acupuncture for more than ten minutes before he stopped and said, sweating profusely: "Mom, I've helped you clear away the congestion, and I've also helped you repair your tendons and veins, but the bones haven't closed yet. I'll go up to the mountain tomorrow to collect some herbs and apply them on you, and you'll be fine in a few days."
He Xiangyue nodded repeatedly, and Long Dashan and Long Xiaoling also smiled.
"Brother, you are so awesome." Long Xiaoling jumped up and hugged Long Xiaoshan's arm, being extremely affectionate.
I talked to my family for a while.
Long Dashan began to arrange for Long Xiaoshan to step over the brazier and take a bath.
Being just released from prison means rebirth and getting rid of bad luck. These are customs.
After Long Xiaoshan took a bath in the patio.
Wearing a pair of shorts and returning to the house, Long Xiaoling knocked on the door and shouted: "Brother, Dad asked me to give you some clothes. Dad bought them last year and I haven't worn them yet."
"Well, come in... wait." Long Xiaoshan responded subconsciously, thought of something quickly, and shouted again.
But Long Xiaoling moved very quickly and had already walked in.
"Brother, you!"
Long Xiaoling's expression changed and he almost shouted out. The scars on Long Xiaoshan's upper body were shocking.
Long Xiaoshan quickly went up and covered Long Xiaoling's mouth and said: "Keep your voice down, don't let your parents hear it."
Long Xiaoling nodded a few times before Long Xiaoshan let her go. Long Xiaoling's tears suddenly fell down. She put her hand on Long Xiaoshan's chest and touched a ferocious scar there, only one centimeter away from the heart. He said distressedly: "Brother, what's going on?"
"It's okay, just fight with people in prison." Long Xiaoshan said in a relaxed tone.
Long Xiaoling was speechless for a long time.
She knows very well that her brother used to be a nerd. Before going to the provincial capital to study at university, he never fought with others, even blushed and argued with others. How did his brother get through in prison in the past three years
Long Xiaoshan grabbed the T-shirt in Long Xiaoling's hand and quickly put it on, covering up the scars. He smiled casually and said, "Little sister, let's go out. Also, don't talk too much to your parents."
At dinner, the family was enjoying themselves under the dim light.
Although there were only a few vegetables and the only meat dish was an egg, Long Xiaoshan ate it very deliciously.
The family chatted late into the night and talked a lot.
With Long Xiaoshan’s years of prison experience and Long Xiaoling’s studies, I heard that Long Xiaoling was admitted to the County No. 1 Middle School. Long Xiaoling said that he didn’t want to study and wanted to work. Long Xiaoshan’s eyes widened and he almost killed Long Xiaoling. Ling scolded and cried, telling her to study well and go to college, and brother would find a way to deal with the money.
Late at night.
Long Xiaoshan returned to his room, but he was not sleepy and his eyes were wide open.
The most important word in our family now is poverty.
As long as he has money, many problems can be solved, so he must get the money, but he has no clue now whether to call Lao Xu and the others.
Long Xiaoshan changed this idea in his mind.
Looking back on his life in Lingxi Prison, no one knows how he survived the past three years, the first year after he was imprisoned.
Long Xiaoshan lived a hellish life, with people picking on him and torturing him every day.
At that time, Long Xiaoshan was just a college student from a farm family with an honest and arrogant temperament. He already felt that life was hopeless after entering prison. After entering prison, it became even more like a nightmare. He was tortured and beaten in different ways every day. If he resisted even a little, he would be beaten. The beatings became more severe, and he was beaten to the point of dying several times, with only one breath left.
Under the inhuman torture, Long Xiaoshan wanted to die many times, but his innate stubbornness made him struggle out from the gate of hell again and again because he did not want to die. He was framed. If he died in Here, it would only satisfy those who framed him.
Until he met Lao Chang.
Lao Chang is a gloomy old man in prison. It is said that he has been imprisoned in Lingxi Prison for decades. No one has ever come to see him, and no one will mess with him. He is very mysterious.
Lao Chang once squatted in front of Long Xiaoshan, who was beaten and could not move, and said that he could teach him a Kung Fu "Secret of Immortality", and whether he would succeed or not would depend on his luck.
It's called kung fu, but it actually means letting him sit there and breathe out at a fixed number of hours every day, at midnight and noon.
There are no powerful tricks.
Long Xiaoshan has been practicing for a long time, but he has not developed the legendary inner strength. The only advantages are that his physical reactions are faster, his eyes are brighter than ordinary people, his thinking becomes sharper, and his memory is getting better and better.
Later, he finally developed a heat in his body, and Master Chang began to teach him medical skills.
Long Xiaoshan was still being beaten, but before, he had to lie down for ten days and a half for each beating. Since he practiced the "Secret of Immortality" and his medical skills became more and more powerful, the time for lying down became shorter and shorter, from ten days to It became a week, it became three days…
Long Xiaoshan became more and more able to withstand beatings, and his fights became more and more fierce. Once, he forcefully dug out an eyeball of the prison bully who bullied him the most before...
Another year passed, and Long Xiaoshan transformed from a young boy who was beaten every day into one of the most feared prison bullies in Lingxi Prison.
Not only did no one dare to mess with him anymore, but he also gathered a group of people who were often bullied in prison before.
The old Xu he just thought of was called Xu Feng, and he was one of those people who had been protected by him in the past.
It is said that he was a big boss in the provincial capital. He was almost killed when he went to prison. It was Long Xiaoshan who saved his life and followed him ever since. Xu Feng went out early a few days ago and once told Long Xiaoshan that he wanted Long Xiaoshan to Xiaoshan went out to find him.
There are many people like Xu Feng.
It's just that when Long Xiaoshan was released from prison this time, he didn't find anyone.
As soon as the thought passed by, Long Xiaoshan gave up. He still wanted to rely on himself. At worst, he would go to the county job market to find a job. He still didn't believe that a grown man could be stumped by two dollars.
Before I knew it, it was twelve o'clock.
The moonlight seeped in from the window like mercury pouring down the ground. Long Xiaoshan sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice for several years. Although the "Secret of Immortality" had been practicing for two years, the heat had not grown much, but he was used to it. Basically I don't sleep, I just practice Qigong all night, and I'm still active the next day.
