Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Dying

A Bing's tuberculosis broke out, and he began to vomit blood... A Bing asked why the sky was so cruel to him... Just when Ah Bing was dying, the sun came out and dawn... A Bing lay penniless in the cold room, his stomach growling with hunger. His partner in distress died, the weather was cold, and he was suffering from hunger and cold. A Bing lost the courage to live again. He just wanted to die, he didn't want to live, and he couldn't live anymore. "Ah!" Ah Bing cried, "Ah Zhen, don't ascend to heaven, wait for me, I will come. The world can't accommodate us anymore, let's go together."

"Your dead soul can pick me up by the lake..." Just when A Bing was about to throw himself into the lake again, there was a knock on the door: "Brother A Bing, I am A Ju, I see you are here, please open the door!" To open the door... or not to open?I don't want to live anymore. A Bing hesitated... "Brother A Bing, open the door quickly! Brother A Bing!" A Bing recognized the voice of Zhao Zhu, Aju's husband. The knocking on the door is getting louder... A Bing had no choice but to open the door. "Oh! Brother A Bing, we are so anxious. If you don't open the door again, we will think that something happened." Aju said.

Aju, who was pregnant, and her husband Zhao Zhu came from the countryside early in the morning to bring rice and eggs to Bing. "Brother A Bing, there is nothing good in the countryside. Here are some rice and eggs to nourish your body and see how thin you have become." Zhao Zhu said. Zhao Zhu said again: "I've wanted to see you for a long time. It's just because Aju has a severe pregnancy reaction. She vomits every day and can't eat. Now the reaction is milder. She is clamoring to come to see you." A Bing said emotionally: "Thank you so much, you always miss me."

Zhao Zhu said: "Brother A Bing, don't say that, without you, how would Aju be alive!" Aju choked up and said, "Brother Ah Bing, you are my savior. Don't let yourself get caught up. Although Azhen's sister-in-law is gone, there are still us, and we will visit you often." Aju said: "Brother A Bing, quickly change your clothes, I will wash them for you, and I will unpack and wash the sheets and quilts for you, taking advantage of the good sun today." A Bing hurriedly said: "Aju, you are pregnant with a child, don't be too tired, don't take a bath."

Aju said, "It doesn't matter, I'm not that delicate." So Aju washed the clothes, Zhao Zhu cooked, and the two were busy until noon before preparing to leave. When Aju and his wife were about to leave, they said: "Brother A Bing, we will come to see you often, so you must not miss it." Aju and his wife had just left for a while when Abing's cousin Hua Boyang and his son Xiaohua came and said, "Abing, I brought you some rice and a chicken." "Brother, you are still so busy." "No matter how busy I am, I will come to see you. I will kill the chicken and cook it for you, and let Xiaohua take care of you here."

"Brother, no need, I can feel it, the neighbors Daddy and Daddy come to help me every day." "Let Xiaohua help you for a while! Xiaohua is older than Xiaoxiang." So, 15-year-old Xiao Hua stayed to take care of A Bing temporarily. The hard days have destroyed A Bing's body.A Bing lay on the bed and kept coughing, and his tuberculosis broke out again. A Bing began to cough up blood. "Ah! Uncle Bing, you vomit blood... Do you want to call a doctor?" Xiaohua asked. "No...no..." A Bing thought, where is the money to see a doctor! A Bing cried out in grief and indignation: "God, why are you so cruel to me?"

After A Bing coughed up blood, he felt dizzy and flustered, and sweat oozed from his forehead. A Bing lay weakly on the bed panting. On this day, A Bing's cousin Hua Boyang invited Dr. Deng from the countryside. "A Bing, let Dr. Deng show you. Dr. Deng's medical skills are very good, and he is a good person." "Thank you brother." After taking A Bing's pulse, Dr. Deng said, "A Bing, you are already in the advanced stage of tuberculosis. Western medicines for this disease are very expensive. How about this? I will prescribe a Chinese medicine for you, which can help stop hemoptysis."

Dr. Deng prescribed the medicine, and took out several packs of Baiji, Baibu and Lily from the bag, and said, "Although these three medicines are very bitter, they can cure tuberculosis. You should keep drinking them." "Okay, thank you, Dr. Deng." Hua Boyang brought A Bing some more rice, and said, "Your sister-in-law asked me to bring these rice and two pieces of bacon, to help you strengthen your body." "Thank you brother and sister-in-law." Just when Ah Bing was dying, Wuxi was liberated. Its daybreak. In the afternoon, Xiao Hua flew into the house and said, "Uncle Bing, Wuxi has been liberated. Let's set off firecrackers and dance yangko in the street to celebrate!"

"Ah, it's liberated, Xiaohua, help me out to have a look." A Bing struggled to get up, put on his clothes, Xiaohua helped him to go to the street, A Bing didn't go to the street all winter, today he felt the breath of spring. Although A Bing couldn't see it, he heard people's laughter, the sound of firecrackers and lively drum music.Xiaohua took A Bing to the street and squeezed him in the paddock. After finishing the Yangko dance, a man's voice said loudly: "Comrades, Wuxi is liberated. Chairman Mao and the Communist Party are here in Wuxi. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, to the light..."

A Bing recognized that it was the voice of Brother Li, the workers' representative. what!Brother Li is indeed the Communist Party... Great, A Bing thought excitedly, a rare radiance appeared on A Bing's face. One day, A Bing was lying on the bed when he heard his brother calling the door: "A Bing, the district chief sees you coming, open the door quickly." A Bing quickly got up and opened the door. "Brother A Bing, we see you coming." A Bing recognized Brother Li's voice: "Brother Li, you have become the district mayor. I guessed that you must be the Communist Party."

"Yes, I am a member of the Communist Party. Today I am representing the district government to visit you. I heard that you have tuberculosis and the government is going to help you treat it." "Ah! Thank you so much." Hua Boyang said: "The government will send you to a smoking cessation center to help you quit smoking!" "Smoking? Can I quit?" District Chief Li said: "Of course you can quit. As long as you are determined, opium is used by imperialist powers to poison us Chinese people in order to destroy our Chinese nation. As long as you realize this, you will definitely be able to quit." "Okay, I'll listen to you." A Bing said firmly. A Bing was sent to a smoking cessation center, where the people's government helped him quit smoking and treated him for tuberculosis. A Bing gave up opium smoking, but the tuberculosis was incurable. As soon as A Bing returned home, he coughed up blood again. Hua Boyang came to see him, Xiaohua said: "Uncle Bing, my dad is now the real Taoist leader of Lei Zun Palace." "Ah! Brother, that's great, Lei Zundian has finally returned to Yuren's hands." Hua Boyang said: "A Bing, the Communist Party and the people's government have very good religious policies and care about Taoism. In the future, our Taoism will never be bullied again, and it will definitely develop." "Brother, the Communist Party is too good." Hua Boyang said: "With the care of the Chinese Communist Party, we Taoists will no longer be bullied by warlords like in the old society. Ah Bing, when you recover from illness, go back to Lei Zun Temple. Develop Taoist music well, With your wish." "Okay, brother. In this way, my father's spirit in heaven can also be at peace." On this day, A Bing let Xiaohua lead him to his father Hua Qinghe's grave, and lit incense. After A Bing kowtowed, he cried: "Father, you didn't expect that Wuxi was liberated, and the army led by Chairman Mao came." The Communist Party, they helped me quit smoking, and they also helped me cure tuberculosis..." A Bing held the incense in his hand, coughed for a while, and then said: "Father, do you know that our neighbor, the worker's master is a Communist Party member, and he became the district chief. He said that the people's government is very concerned about Taoism, and Taoism will never be To be insulted again..." A Bing coughed again, and said, "Father, I didn't want to live anymore, I wanted to follow you. I didn't expect the world to change. At dawn, my brother became the Taoist leader of Lei Zun Temple. He said that now the Communist Party came. The new government respects Taoism, and Taoists will not be bullied anymore...cough...cough..." A Bing gasped for a while and then said: "Father, do you know that my brother said that after I recover from my illness, I will pay you back. Go to Zundian, let me develop Taoist music. Father, please be happy for me! After I recover, I must go back to Lei Zundian and practice piano again...cough, cough..." A Bing took Xiaohua as his disciple, and taught Xiaohua how to play the drums if he didn't have a piano. A Bing couldn't sit still, so he lay on the bed and listened to Xiaohua practice, but he coughed again after not practicing for a long time. "Ah! Uncle Bing, you're vomiting blood again." Xiao Hua exclaimed. "Oh! God, don't accept me... don't accept me..." Ah Bing cried out sadly.
