Fog Township

The early morning in Chaba was shrouded in mist, and the sun shone brightly like gold, piercing through the mist, and its power was greatly reduced.Amin simply ate breakfast, and then began to tidy up the ear roots dug yesterday.He divided the intact roots into one pile, and divided the tender ones into another pile, and then carefully selected them to remove impurities and rotten leaves, until only half a box was left.A Ming took out two long benches from the house, and took out a square bamboo plaque. After arranging the benches in parallel, he put the bamboo plaques on the benches, and a simple balcony was built.He neatly cut the folded ear roots and piled them neatly on the bamboo plaque, just like soldiers arranged in a playground.The sun is getting warmer and the clouds and mists have dispersed, which is just used to dry the folded ears. If the weather is fine, it will only take two or three days to complete the work, but if it rains, you have to cover it with a plastic sheet in advance to prevent it from getting wet. wet.After processing the medicinal materials, there were still a lot of folded ear roots left, which he and his grandmother couldn't finish eating, so A Ming planned to sell them at the Yizi Street market for money.After saying hello to my grandmother, I went to Yizi Street.

Today happened to be the market day for Chaba.Yizi Street is crowded with people. Although there are many people, everyone tacitly abides by the established rules. The vegetable food area and the daily necessities area are clearly separated, and they are neatly and clearly placed on the side of the street.As usual, A Ming found his most accustomed street corner and squatted down. Every stall owner has his own familiar position, which has not changed all year round. The people in the village just watch tacitly and tacitly. It is rooted in their blood. duty.

Grandma Zeng is the only pharmacist in Chaba. Everyone in the village has received a lot of favors from her.His Zhe Er Gen sold out quickly.Grandmother didn't have many requirements for Amin's occupation, but only hoped that he would inherit her own pharmacy and inherit this family business of helping the world and saving people.Eleven or twelve-year-old boys are always playful, and they have a natural reluctance to read and write at a young age. Although forced by his grandmother's majesty, Amin can barely stay in the pharmacy, but his mind has long been elsewhere, because it is The only grandson in the family, although his grandmother has high hopes for him, she loves her grandson dearly, and naturally doesn't take his sloppy and naughty seriously.

Chaba people like to eat zheergen, which is a good choice for soaking in water, seasoning, and cold salad. Chaba people believe in the miraculous effects of Zheergen in clearing away heat and detoxification, digesting food and nourishing the stomach. The most convenient and economical recipe is the wisdom accumulated by generations of Chaba people through years of life experience.

At noon, the weather is getting hotter.A Ming closed the stall and rushed home to have lunch.At the dinner table, Amin told his grandmother about the bustling scene on the street and how friendly the villagers were to him.Amin and his grandmother were chatting cheerfully, when they suddenly heard noise and chaos outside the door, Amin hurried out to check what was going on.I saw a large group of people walking towards the house as if surrounded by something.Amin hurriedly squeezed into the crowd to see and understand.I saw a man in strange clothes lying on a wooden board and being carried by the villagers. He seemed to have been seriously injured and unconscious, with a large amount of blood oozing from his left leg wrapped in a white cloth.The man's body was covered with mud, his hair was covered with twigs and turf, and his face was unclear.At first glance, A Ming decided that he was definitely not from Chaba, but from the legendary "outside world".

The origin of the villagers of Chaba is that the border residents who escaped from the war hundreds of years ago fled here. They found this isolated place by chance, and no outsiders have come in for hundreds of years.Chaba is a primitive and simple place, far away from all modern civilizations, without electric lights, mobile phones, and ovens... I only heard from the old people in the village that the world outside the tea dam is unbelievably large. People are also so complex that it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.But whether you are a good person or a bad person, you have to save people first.According to the villagers who carried the man, the injured man was found by the woodcutter at the bottom of the cliff upstream of Chaba. He was unconscious and seriously injured at that time.But seeing that he was not a local, the woodcutter was unavoidably suspicious, worried that what would happen if wolves were lured into the house and brought disaster to the tea dam, but his kind nature finally defeated the fear of the unknown, so the woodcutter quickly called his colleagues nearby, simply After treating the wound, carry him down the mountain.

It was already noon when it was transported to Yizi Street.The villagers all came to help, but most of them were curious about what this stranger looked like, so they all came to see what happened.The belongings of the foreigner were also passed around by the villagers one after another, they had never seen such an object before, and after looking at it, they all looked at each other, not knowing what it was for.

After a lot of work, the outsider was finally carried to Grandma Zeng's house.Amin led everyone into the room and carried the injured into the bedroom.Grandma Zeng has arrived at this time.He ordered everyone to leave the room, leaving only A Ming to assist.

"Amin! Go get a pot of hot water quickly. Go!" Grandma said seriously and eagerly.

"Yes!" Amin rushed across the threshold and rushed towards the kitchen.

Grandma saw that the young man was about 24 years old.The whole body was covered with mud and water, and there were many abrasions on his body. The most serious one was his left leg, which had lost too much blood and led to a coma. It seemed likely that he had broken a bone.After a while, Amin was holding a wooden basin filled with hot water and a clean face towel in his hand.The grandmother signaled Amin to take off the stranger's clothes, and washed off the blood and dirt on his body with a hot towel.A Ming helped him wipe his face first, and gradually, the man's forehead, eyebrows, and facial features became clear.His forehead is full and slightly square, his eyebrows are as high as a mountain peak, his nose bridge is straight and powerful, and the stubble around his mouth and chin grows thickly to his cheeks. He has a handsome face.A Ming looked a little dazed, and his heartbeat couldn't help speeding up, because no one in Chaba was so fair and special.Amin rubbed the face towel in the basin and took off his clothes. This person should maintain the habit of exercising and his muscles are vaguely in shape.It's a pity that it was scratched and scratched by the vegetation on the mountain, and many wounds were wiped out.Amin felt distressed when he saw the cut on his body.So he lowered his voice and asked his grandmother with concern: "Grandma! How is he?"

Grandma checked his leg, sighed and said, "It doesn't matter about other places, but this leg is broken and he lost a lot of blood. Whether he can save his life depends on his fate."

After listening, Amin said with a slight cry: "What a wonderful person! Did he just die like this! Grandma! I don't want him to die!"

The grandmother understands the character of the grandson. He is cautious and kind, and has a rare compassion for everything in the world. This is the precious kindness that doctors need.Not to mention such a living person, the grandmother naturally thought that Amin's reaction was caused by a doctor's deep sympathy for the patient.So he comforted A Ming and said, "Don't worry. Everything is up to me. Go to the pharmacy and get some gauze, scissors, wood, and Jinchuang medicine."

Amin fetched the things one by one.Grandma Zeng carefully cut open his trousers, and wiped off the blood on his legs with a hot face towel.Sure enough, his leg was the most severely injured. It was bruised and swollen. His grandmother applied medicine to relieve swelling and pain, and wrapped it with gauze. The preliminary treatment was completed, and the grandmother was already sweating profusely, and she ordered Amin to grab the medicine according to the prescribed prescription.

After finishing the work, I didn't realize that the sun had already set in the west.Amin followed his grandmother's instructions to observe his condition at all times, and called her immediately if something happened.Amin has been standing by the left and right, not daring to slack off.The stranger's face was still colorless, his mouth and eyes were tightly closed, and his body did not move at all. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest could tell that he was a living person.The patient couldn't blow the air, so the doors and windows of the house were closed tightly. After an unknown period of time, Amin waited anxiously for several hours, when the door creaked suddenly, and it was the grandmother who brought the medicine.

"You feed him the medicine first. I'm going to fry it for the night." Grandma closed the door and left.

A Ming took the rough earthenware bowl full of decoction and stirred it with a spoon. Seeing that the medicine was still very hot, he blew it on spoonful by spoonful to dissipate heat.At this moment, the tip of the stranger's eyebrows twitched suddenly, and then there was no movement.The temperature of the medicine dropped and became able to warm the mouth.A Ming said to himself: "Brother, I'm going to help you feed the medicine. I'll help you up first. If it hurts, bear with it." After finishing speaking, he carefully helped the stranger into a sitting position, and at the same time paid close attention to the pain. The bandaged leg must not be allowed to move in any way.A Ming sat on the edge of the bed with his chest against the man's back. He straightened his body and let him lean on his shoulder.Although it was already summer and the weather was hot and humid, Amin clearly touched the man's icy body. His heart tightened, and a terrible thought flashed across him: "Will he die?" The medicine was delivered to the man's mouth.After trying several times, the medicine flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and Amin was very anxious.Looking at the soup in the bowl, he suddenly had an idea, but hesitated again.I remembered that my grandmother once said, "Take the righteousness and don't stick to the small details." Saving people's lives should be the greatest kindness and righteousness, and my own face is nothing.After making up his mind, Amin took a sip of the medicine and put it in his mouth. He gently opened the man's mouth with his hands to make it slightly open, and touched his lips gently, and then put the medicine in his mouth. The medicine in the bowl was slowly spit out, and sure enough, it was fed in. Aminshi was very happy, one after another, and after a while, there was not much medicine left in the bowl.

I didn't feel it when I was feeding the medicine, but after the man drank it all, Amin felt the taste of the medicine was very bitter, and couldn't help cursing: "It's so fucking bitter! I don't want to touch this horse piss for the rest of my life!".After he settled the stranger properly, he hurried to wash his mouth, and met his grandmother on the way.The grandmother was sipping wine one by one, and told him that there was no time to make dinner, so she just bought two pieces of tung leaf rice cakes and left them on the table, and told him to eat first, take a rest, and then take care of the patient by herself.
