Hearing what the young man in front of him said, Wen Shutang asked with some confusion: "You just said that Aunt Zhao's eye disease has recurred and it's bleeding?"

"Yeah, it's scary when it looks from a distance. I don't dare to get too close." The young man shuddered suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and said with an indescribable expression.

Seeing his strange look, Wen Shutang became even more curious about what kind of eye disease could make this young man look like this.

"Lead the way."

Seeing that Wen Shutang was willing to go over to treat Aunt Zhao, the young man nodded happily and then turned around and took Wen Shutang and the others to Aunt Zhao's residence.

Wen Shutang lowered his head and looked at Xiao Wan: "Wan'er, are you tired? If you are really tired, I will go, you can have a good rest at home."

Xiao Wan shook her head without hesitation: "It's okay, mother. Wan'er is not tired. Let's go see Aunt Zhao first."

Hearing what she said, Wen Shutang reached out and touched her head with some heartache.

Following the young man, he came to a dilapidated house at the end of the village, pointed at the small house and said, "This is Aunt Zhao's home."

Wen Shutang looked up at the shabby little thatched cottage and was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Aunt Zhao's house was even more shabby than the house of Zhuzi and his mother.

"Does Aunt Zhao usually live alone?" Wen Shutang asked as he walked inside.

The young man led the way. When he heard Wen Shutang's question, he nodded and said, "How did you know, Madam Wen? Both of Madam Zhao's children live in the town. Her husband passed away early, and none of her children were willing to take care of them, so Madam Zhao had to live alone."

When the topic was mentioned, the young man's face flashed with anger. No one in Qingshi Village knew about Aunt Zhao. Everyone despised these two ruthless children, but they were helpless about them and could only help Aunt Zhao frequently to ensure that she would not die alone at home without anyone knowing.

It is also because of the help of good neighbors that Aunt Zhao can barely make ends meet.

"Aunt Zhao is also a person with a miserable life. When she was young, she was one of the most beautiful women in our Qingshi Village. She gave birth to a pair of ungrateful children. When she got old, no one took care of her and she had to live alone. Later, for some unknown reason, she contracted an eye disease. She didn't go to the town to see a doctor because she felt sorry for the money. Now, it has been delayed for a long time. She can't even leave the house or see the sunlight. When she sees the light, she bursts into tears and her eyes hurt badly. Everyone feels sorry for Aunt Zhao, so they usually help her more." The young man's tone was full of sympathy for Aunt Zhao.

After he finished speaking, several people walked to the door. After hearing about Aunt Zhao's experience, Wen Shutang couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Aunt Zhao.

Xiao Wan was even more furious: "How could her children be like this! Aunt Zhao worked so hard to raise them, and now that she's old, they can be so cruel and not care about her at all? This is simply, simply ruthless."

Xiao Wan frowned, her tone full of disdain and disgust for this unfilial pair of children.

Wen Shutang nodded, agreeing with what Xiao Wan said.

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

The young man brought Wen Shutang and Xiao Wan into the room. The room was pitch black. It was clearly noon, but there was no light in the room.

Wen Shutang and Xiao Wan stood at the door and waited until their eyes had completely adjusted to the dark environment before walking inside.

Walking to the bed, Wen Shutang vaguely saw a figure lying on the bed and could hear a low growl of pain.

The figure sat up after noticing someone approaching, and asked cautiously while enduring the pain: "Who is it?"

"Aunt Zhao, it's me, Erdan. I've asked two doctors in the village to come over and check your eyes."

When Aunt Zhao heard Erdan's words, she felt relieved immediately. She smiled bitterly, and everything in front of her eyes went dark and she couldn't see anything. The severe pain in her eyes from time to time made it impossible for her to think clearly.

"Erdan, you are a good boy. You knew that no one cared for my aunt, but you still invited a doctor for her. But my aunt's eyes are completely ruined and cannot be cured. I'm sorry that you two doctors have come here for nothing. Please go back. I don't want to treat her anymore."

Before Wen Shutang could say anything, Xiao Wan, who was standing next to her, spoke first.

"Aunt, how can you not treat it? What if it can be cured? Don't you want to go out and get some sunshine?"

Hearing Xiao Wan's voice, Aunt Zhao was obviously stunned: "From the sound of this voice, it's a girl?"

Erdan explained quickly, "Yes, Auntie, these two girls are doing free medical consultation in the village today. They have treated many people and prescribed medicine. Everyone trusts the two girls. Auntie, please let them take a look at you. If they can cure you, we should treat you."

Hearing the two of them trying to persuade her, Aunt Zhao sighed, "It's not that I don't want to treat it. First, I live alone and have no money. I can't afford the medicine. Second, my eyes are so bad that I'm afraid of the sunlight and even the candlelight. How can I treat it?"

Wen Shutang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, her tone firm and serious: "As long as you want to be cured, there must be a way. It depends on whether you want to be cured or not."

"Yes, Auntie, Madam Wen comes to our village for free medical treatment, so the treatment and medicine are free of charge, so you don't have to worry." Erdan said anxiously, fearing that Aunt Zhao would really give up treatment.

In the darkness, Aunt Zhao was silent for a while. The air fell into silence and no one spoke.

Wen Shutang waited patiently for Aunt Zhao's response. After a while, Aunt Zhao spoke.

"Then please trouble the girls to take a look at it for me. If it really can't be cured, I will accept it."

Hearing her answer, Wen Shutang showed a slight smile on his face.

"Okay, Wan'er, go light a lamp."

Erdan quickly replied: "No, no, I can do it."

As he spoke, he turned around to light the lamp. After lighting the oil lamp, he could finally see vaguely in the room.

Erdan didn't dare to place the oil lamp too close to Aunt Zhao, for fear that her eyes would hurt by the light.

With the dim candlelight, Wen Shutang walked closer and looked carefully into Aunt Zhao's eyes.

It would have been fine if I hadn't seen it, but once I did I was really shocked.

Aunt Zhao's eyes were already covered with turbid secretions, and her eyelashes and eyelids were covered with muddy yellow secretions. She could hardly open her eyes at all.

Just relying on the slit in the middle of the eye, Wen Shutang saw that Aunt Zhao's eyeballs were full of red bloodshot, and there were even small blood spots, making her whole face look particularly scary.

Wen Shutang didn't say anything. She was a little surprised. She never thought it was this kind of eye disease.
