Chapter 55 third quarter

When Zhang Snake, Zhang Jiu, and the "snake dealer" were arguing, my grandfather and I didn't have any free time at home. At that time, it was close to noon, and grandpa gave grandma's newly adopted goddaughter a horoscope, and then lay lazily on the old bamboo chair left by grandma, closing his eyes and resting his mind.The backlash effect last time was too serious, and grandfather is making people grow old, and his recovery state is not as good as when he was young. Grandma took the horoscope given by grandpa full of joy, and staggered away.I was next to the gate, basking in the sunlight obliquely coming in from the outside.The smell of rotten wood from the gate floated into the nostrils, carrying some ancient breath.Now even if I go back to my grandfather's house, no matter how sunny the sun is, I no longer have the mood to bask in the sun.

Grandpa is in the shade of the main room, and I am at the doorway exposed to the sun.Neither of them spoke, enjoying the rare tranquility. But this tranquility hadn't lasted for twenty minutes, when someone shouted from the ground: "Yue dad, Yue dad!" I turned my head and saw that it was Ma Juhe who lived at the head of the village.Ma Juhe has a good relationship with his uncle and often comes to his grandfather's house, so I know him well, and I know that he married early and has a frail and sickly daughter-in-law.I also know that he is the only farmer in the village who does not farm, because he has turned his family's field into an orchard and planted fruits.He always called my grandfather "Yue Dae" instead of "Yue Yun Dae" or "Master Ma" like other people of the same age.

Grandpa opened his eyes and asked me, "Who called me?" I replied, "It's the Maju River at the head of the village." When Ma Juhe saw me standing at the door, he asked, "Is the grandson of the Tong family here? When did you come here?" The acquaintances in Huamei Village would ask me this question when they saw me. I politely replied: "Yes. The school is on holiday. I came two days ago. I don't know what you can do with my grandpa?" I thought to myself, Mr. Ichimogo was dealt with in the dark yesterday, genius Zhang Jiu came to look for him as soon as he was bright; today he was urged by his grandma to go to the field for a while, and before he had a rest, another one came!Let grandpa rest!

Only now did I understand a little bit why grandma didn't want grandpa to meddle in other people's affairs. He didn't answer what I wanted to do with grandpa, but asked, "Is your grandpa at home?" I nodded helplessly and said, "Yes. I'm resting in the main room. I just came back from the field and I'm too tired." Grandpa is actually not too tired. I said this just to tell Ma Juhe: If it's nothing important It's best not to disturb Grandpa's rest now. Ma Juhe naturally understood the meaning of what I said later. He rubbed his hands, bent slightly, and said, "I know Yue is busy, and there are many people looking for him. But I need your grandfather's help for something urgent." He said , while walking to the door.

I remember my grandpa once said that when my grandpa was still alive and I was very young, people from the village came to my grandpa’s house to borrow a water truck, but my grandparents and grandparents went to the fields to harvest rice, and only the young me was at home Play by yourself.Seeing that there was no one in the grandfather's house, the person who borrowed the water wheel took the water wheel that was lying in the main room and raised his legs to leave.But when he walked to the door, he found that he couldn't lift his feet. He looked down and saw that I was hugging his legs at a young age and wouldn't let him go.

Later, when grandpa and grandpa came back, they saw the person who borrowed the water tanker sitting at home waiting for them to come back.Then the person who borrowed the water truck told my grandpa and grandpa about the fact that I dragged his legs. Grandpa laughed happily and praised me as the child of the guardian and a lock on the door.When I grew up, every time I heard my grandparents talk about it, I was still complacent. But this time Ma Juhe is coming to bother grandpa, but I can't hold his legs to prevent him from entering the door like I did when I was a child.I had no choice but to lead him into the house, and then said calmly: "Grandpa, Ma Juhe is here."

When Ma Juhe saw his grandfather, he quickly held his hand and begged, "Father Yue, half of my wife's body depends on you to save her!" Grandpa was startled and asked, "Has your daughter-in-law's illness worsened? Then you should hurry up and send your daughter-in-law to the hospital! What's the use of looking for me?" Ma Juhe said: "If her condition got worse, I would naturally take her to the hospital. But what happened to her this time is very strange! If I hadn't seen it myself, I would never have come to you." Ma Juhe said while I kept shaking my grandfather's hand, as if my grandfather was a stove for baking popcorn.

Grandpa asked, "What happened? Tell me about it." Ma Juhe said anxiously: "Father Yue, you won't believe me if I tell you now. You can go with me to see my wife and you will know what's going on." Grandpa was never good at rejecting others, so he got up and nodded and said, "Okay. Life is at stake, let's go see your wife first." Then grandpa gave me a look and told me to close the front and back doors. When I went to close the door, Ma Juhe and grandpa went out first. When I closed the doors and windows and walked to Ma Juhe's house by a small path, Ma Juhe and his grandfather were already sitting in the back room to check on Ma Juhe's wife's injuries.When I walked in, I happened to see several strange scars on Ma Juhe's wife's waist.The scar was about a finger wide, blue-purple on the outside, and crimson inside.At first glance, I thought someone had cut her waist open with a sharp knife, so scary!

Ma Juhe's daughter-in-law leaned on the edge of the bed, screaming "Ouch, ouch".The piece of skin exposed on the waist was as pale as paper, and it was obvious that it had been ill for many years. "When did this scar appear on her?" Grandpa pressed his fingers on the scar, and Ma Juhe's daughter-in-law immediately took in a "hissing" breath. Ma Juhe said, "Yesterday evening." Grandpa frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Ma Juhe said: "Aren't you afraid to trouble you? Besides, my daughter-in-law didn't feel much pain last night. I thought she would be fine after a night of sleep. I didn't expect her pain to be much worse today than yesterday, so I panicked." God. She has been lying on the bed without bumping anything, how could she have such scars?"

Grandpa didn't answer Ma Juhe's words, but looked at Ma Juhe's house carefully with keen eyes. Although Ma Juhe's daughter-in-law's scar was weird, I was still worried about Zhang Jiu's green snake with bamboo leaves and didn't put all my thoughts on it. Ma Juhe understood what Grandpa meant, and guessed in a low voice: "Did my house collide with something?"
