Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 365 The Road to the Future

"Yang Qiaoer, 4.0 kilograms of frost mulberry leaf tea and 6.5 kilograms of Gouwa scented tea, sold for a total of 5.25 yuan. After deducting 5 cents for the labor fee, the remaining 4 yuan, 5 cents and 5 cents were left."

Wang Chengzhou held a notepad with a touch of dark red on the corner, imitating the way his brother-in-law Zhang Quanfa once did, and read loudly and seriously.

"I'm coming!"

However, the person who answered him was a middle-aged man with a beaming face.Yang Shutiao trotted up to him, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Health nurse Wang, please give me the money."

Wang Chengzhou was stunned and frowned slightly, "Where is Qiao'er? I'm calling Yang Qiao'er. She got up early and worked hard at night to pick these tea leaves. They should be handed over to her hands. What are you doing here?"

"Hey, look at what you said, a little girl, why should you leave it to her or not! I am her father, how can she have her without me?"

Yang Shutiao waved his hand, looking very dissatisfied, and was so excited that he foamed at the mouth, "This is nearly five yuan, can she win?"

Seeing his impatient look, everyone couldn't help but chuckle, and then the scene became quiet.

In fact, from the perspective of country people, there is nothing serious wrong with Yang Shutiao, it is just a matter of wronging the child.Not to mention a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl like Yang Qiaoer, even if she is an adult, as long as she has not left home, the money the girl earns is the common property of the family and is used to subsidize the family or help her boys.

However, Yang Qiaoer confided to herself a few nights ago when she was studying in the brigade courtyard, saying that she worked hard to pick tea leaves, and then followed him to learn how to make tea regardless of the hardship or tiredness, just to be able to save some money to buy tea. Learning tools, she wants to go to high school in the future.

She also said that this was her little secret and she would not let Wang Chengzhou tell it.

The reason is that the father in front of him, Yang Shutiao, is too undervalued of his daughter and does not regard her as a human being. No matter how much money falls into his hands, Yang Qiaoer will definitely get nothing.

That's why the girl thought about hiding it secretly.

Because of this, Wang Chengzhou was so hesitant when he saw him rushing up to fight for the money that belonged to his daughter.If it were a good-natured father who took care of his daughter, he would naturally have no objection.

Seeing that he still didn't hand over the money to her, Yang Shutiao became a little anxious at that time. He scratched his neck and said: "Wang Health Nurse, what do you mean? Didn't you agree that we, the tea-baggers, would come and collect the money?" But your family should have contributed the income from our labor. Oh, are you still looking down on others and looking down on me, the top of the poplar tree?"

This man gave birth to three daughters in a row, but never had a son. He felt sick in his heart. He always felt that people would look down on him because of this, as if there was something wrong with him.

"Oh, yes, Yang Shutiao, don't talk nonsense here. When did Chengzhou watch the dishes being served? That's your daughter's hard-earned money. Can't he confirm it himself? I didn't see him back then. Oh, that little girl spent so early in the morning picking dog flowers, her clothes were soaked with dew, and her face and hair looked like they were washed with water. It was she who handed the hard-earned things to Zhang Quanfa, not you Yang. Treetops.”

"What do you mean? She, Yang Qiao'er, is not my Yang Shutiao? What does our family's affairs have to do with you? You all look down on people, don't you? I will receive this money today. I don't think any of you will Let me take it! If you can't stand it, come on, hit me on the head! If you dare, beat me to death on the spot!"

Someone couldn't help but say something fair for Yang Qiao'er, but he just stirred up a hornet's nest. Yang Shutiao even started playing with a hob on the spot, blowing his beard and staring, as if he wanted to follow others.

The young and old men didn't like him when they saw him acting foolishly. At that time, a few hot-tempered ones pointed at his nose and started scolding him.

A fight was about to begin.

"Master Chengzhou! Give it to him..."

At this moment, Yang Qiaoer finally squeezed out from the crowd, with a look of complete fear on her face, fearing that her father would be beaten.

When Wang Chengzhou saw this, he naturally couldn't say anything. Instead, he counted the more than four yuan and handed it to Yang Shutiao.

After getting so much money at once, Yang Shutiao was naturally very excited. He didn't care about arguing with others and ordered it again on the spot. Then he looked around and snorted as if he was winning a rooster.

Seeing that he had rolled up the bills and put them all into his pocket, Yang Qiaoer probably felt anxious. He quickly ran forward and whispered, "Dad, can you give me 5 cents? I want to buy a notebook and a pen." ."

Yang Shutiao was about to leave, but he didn't expect that his usually submissive daughter would say such a thing. At that time, he stared at her and shouted, "Why did you buy that thing?"

"I……"

Yang Qiaoer was probably frightened by him, and she didn't dare to speak for a while, but the thought of going to school still made her muster up the courage to speak her mind, "I want to review and wait until the end of the year to take the high school entrance examination."

Hearing this little girl's voice, there was a commotion all around.

Yang Qiaoer is very popular in the village, and the old and young men think that her life is pitiful, so they have always been polite to her. Moreover, this girl is indeed smart, no matter what kind of work she does, and she can do it well.

Therefore, everyone was surprised when they heard she said she was going to take the high school entrance examination.After all, there has never been a female high school student in the entire Wang family production team.

This little girl is ambitious!

However, contrary to the reaction of the young and old men, upon hearing his daughter's words, Yang Shutiao's face darkened immediately and he glared at her and said:

"You're going to high school, why don't you go to heaven?"

"Then high school is for a loser like you? In another year at most, you will have to find a husband for me. If I train you to study, isn't that just throwing money at other people's wives? Do you think I'm stupid? "

"Hurry up and get back to work! This money is all saved for your future brothers to go to college. Don't you know what you are!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qiaoer's little face suddenly turned into red cloth, her head hung down, and the joints in her little hands turned white.

She has always been a sensitive girl with strong self-esteem. She never wants others to pity her because of family reasons, so no matter how hard or tired she is, she can endure it silently, and even always wears a cute smile so that she will not Weaker than humans.

But when her father scolded her like this in front of so many young and old men, she couldn't bear it all of a sudden, and her whole mood was on the verge of collapse.He felt that the surrounding discussions instantly filled the whole world, as if everyone was staring at him with pity.

And his life was swallowed bit by bit by darkness.

Her father doesn't let her study, and wants her to continue to work as a cow and horse at home, dedicating everything she has, and using money to support her younger brother who doesn't know where he is yet...

Then she would find him a random husband to marry, and then she would get married and have children, and she would slowly turn into a middle-aged woman with her face turned to the earth and her back to the sky, her eyes gradually numb, and her face slowly losing its sparkle.

The ambition in Yang Qiaoer's chest made it impossible for her to continue to submit. The little girl slowly raised her head and summoned all her courage to say: "Dad, I only want 5 cents to buy a book and pen. That's the money I earned."

Snapped!
Unexpectedly, the little girl stumbled and almost fell to the ground.Yang Shutop retracted his calloused palms, with a ferocious face, and cursed fiercely:
"I don't have any money, do you want an ear scraper? I'm really going against you!"

"I said the money was for your brother. If you dare to disobey me again, do you believe I can find a random man to take you away tomorrow?"

"You're a disgraceful thing, get out of here!"

Yang Qiaoer finally couldn't control herself and cried, wiped her tears and ran away.

Looking at this inhumane thing on the poplar treetops, the young and old men were really angry.But they are father and daughter after all, and even if outsiders can't stand it, they can't do much except scold him.

Wang Chengzhou's brows knitted together and he couldn't help scolding him.But seeing that it was already getting late, the old and young men were all queuing up, and they didn't care about doing anything else. They had to continue reading the list and handing out the money one by one until dark.

After dinner, Wang Chengzhou lay on the bed and couldn't sleep for a long time.What happened in the past few days has made his heart still unable to calm down. He is a doctor who treats diseases and saves people, but he can never cure the disease of poverty.

Because of money, his brother-in-law Zhang Quanfa met with an accident and died young; because of money, Yang Qiaoer was beaten and scolded by his own father in public; because of money, the eldest girl and daughter-in-law in the village wanted to stay up day and night to pick tea leaves. Things had just turned around, but Cut off sales...

He is just a doctor, and he has always been a person who is afraid of trouble. He just wants to live a peaceful and carefree life with the person he likes.But the fellow villagers are all struggling in poverty. How can Wang Chengzhou be happy if he is alone?

Go to the doctor to treat the country, Chinese medicine to treat people, and go to the doctor to treat the disease.

With random thoughts in his mind, Wang Chengzhou sighed heavily, curled up and fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, not long after I fell asleep in a daze, there was suddenly a violent knock on the door outside, making the wooden courtyard door bang.

Wang Chengzhou woke up with a start, quickly put on his clothes and rushed out.

As soon as I arrived at the yard, I heard someone outside shouting:
"Cheng, Chengzhou, don't sleep, get up quickly!"

"Hurry up, Yang Qiaoer hanged himself!"

"My mother, what kind of evil have you done! How come that girl has such a strong temper, and how can she be so stubborn? That Yang Shutiao is such a loser!"

When he heard this, the tips of Wang Chengzhou's hair stood up, and the girl's crisp cry seemed to ring in his ears inexplicably, "Master Chengzhou!"

Hot blood rushed to his forehead. Wang Chengzhou's eyes immediately turned red. He grabbed the person and rushed out like crazy. He gritted his teeth and asked, "When did it happen? Who discovered it? How is he?"

The man was pulled by him until his legs were almost off the ground, and he poured wind into his mouth and nose. He answered with difficulty: "I guess it was in the middle of the night when Yang Shutiao got up and went to the hut. The girl found it from the rope. When I took it off, it was already dead, there was a deep bruise on my neck, and I yelled for a long time but there was no response."

The man swallowed his saliva as he spoke, his eyes full of fear. He could no longer describe the trembling words. He just asked in a daze, "Cheng, Chengzhou, can you save this man? The New Year is coming soon. Well, it would be unlucky for an unmarried eldest daughter to die in the village!"

Wang Chengzhou wanted to give him a slap in the face. What kind of bullshit is auspicious and unlucky? Now is the time to think about this?
Dangzhi shouted with a cold face: "Is Qiaoer incontinent?"

"what?"

The man was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he asked this, and replied vaguely, "Okay, I guess not."

And help!
Hearing this, Wang Chengzhou simply let go of him, speeded up a bit, and rushed into Yang Qiaoer's house with a gust of cold wind.

"Where is the man?"

"In the main room. Chengzhou, you are here. Can that girl be saved?"

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw all the neighbors there, and they were all scared to death.Seeing him coming, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked eagerly.

How could Wang Chengzhou have time to deal with them?The crowd parted early and rushed in.

In the main room, a simple mat was placed on the ground, and Yang Qiaoer was lying on it quietly, as if she was asleep, if it weren't for the terrifying blood-red mark on her neck.

The pregnant Zhang Huiping was shivering and standing holding on to the head of the bed. She was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at her daughter. She even forgot to cry. The air was filled with the pungent smell of urine.

Doesn’t it mean there is no incontinence?
Wang Chengzhou's heart tightened and he wanted to kill someone.

"Ah! Ah! Health Nurse Wang, you are finally here!"

Seeing him, Zhang Huiping finally broke free from the nightmare-like state, screamed in terror, and almost squatted on the ground, "Please save our Qiao'er, please save our Qiao'er!" "

Seeing her miserable appearance, Wang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this girl was so frightened that she became incontinent, and the smell did not come from Yang Qiaoer's body.

He hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out two fingers, and gently pressed Yang Qiaoer's neck, then asked with wide eyes: "Where is that bitch on the top of the Yang tree?"

At this time, all the young and old men came in from outside. After hearing his question, they all stretched their heads and looked around, but there was no trace.

Wang Chengzhou couldn't care anymore, he stood up and rushed to the kitchen. When he came out, he already had a bright kitchen knife in his hand.

When everyone saw it, they were frightened. Their expressions changed dramatically and they exclaimed:

"Chengzhou, you don't deserve it, you don't deserve it, are you trying to kill someone?"

"That Yang Shutiao deserves to die, but he shouldn't be killed by you. God will accept him. We asked you to come here to save people!"

"Quickly, stop him before he makes a big mistake!"

The young and old men were in a hurry, but how could they stop Wang Chengzhou?I saw him duck out of the way and out of the courtyard.

When he came back, he was holding a big rooster in his hand.

The rooster was bright red, its feathers sparkling under the light, and it looked extremely majestic at first glance.And it was probably a little confused. It was obviously sleeping, so why was it caught inexplicably?
Wang Chengzhou didn't explain much, he just muttered something in his mouth, raised the knife and dropped it, blood spurted out, and the big cock was split into two.

However, he didn't dare to neglect, he rushed into the room with one stride, raised his hand and pressed two steaming pieces of chicken on Yang Qiaoer's neck.

Then she was pricked at Baihui point and Yongquan point to let blood flow.

For a moment, the room was filled with the smell of blood.

That scene was even more terrifying. There was blood everywhere, which made people dizzy and made their scalp numb.

At this time, a whimpering sound came from outside, it was the top of the poplar tree.

It turned out that this bitch was so frightened that he had gone to find his father, Yangtou, crying.

At the same time, the whole village was awakened. When they heard that someone had hanged themselves, they ran over in horror and inexplicably.

There was a dark crowd surrounding the courtyard. They looked at Wang Chengzhou, who was covered in blood in the room, and Yang Qiaoer, who was lying at his feet, as if they were having some kind of nightmare.

"Um……"

At this moment, a look of pain appeared on Yang Qiaoer's face, her fingers twitched slightly, she opened her eyes leisurely, and when she saw him, she was still a little confused, and murmured: "Chengzhou... Master? You Why did you come with me too? Did Qiaoer disappoint you?"

Wang Chengzhou's face was already covered with sweat, mixed with blood, and he looked hideous and terrifying.But it makes people feel at ease inexplicably, as if they saw the angry sculpture of King Kong in the temple.

Wang Chengzhou smiled gently and said lightly: "Fool!"

Then he suddenly turned around and threw the kitchen knife on the threshold with a bang. The wooden handle of the knife trembled and made a strange buzzing sound, "I have decided, I want to be the village chief of this Wangjia Village!"

The young and old men stared at him and couldn't help but swallowed. How could any of them dare to disagree?
