Doctor, I'm really sick

Uncle Zhang is like a child who has done something wrong. While staggering and hiding, he explained: "They are not reporters, they are here to film a program and see a doctor for Alan Po—"

Qin Zhao couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and grabbed the peasant woman's broom, and frowned: "If you have something to say, what does it mean to beat the old man when you come up?!"

After finishing speaking, he threw the broom aside heavily.

The peasant woman wanted to jump up and make fun of it, but when she saw the man's tall figure in front of her and his absolutely unfriendly expression, her arrogance immediately shrank by half, and she couldn't help taking two steps back, sitting on the ground and howling:

"Shou Shou! You old man, you want to bring someone to smash my house! Shou Shou!!!"

"I didn't...I..." The more anxious Uncle Zhang became, the more he couldn't speak. He stomped his feet anxiously, just wanting to lead someone around.

Seeing this, the peasant woman stood up swiftly, and stopped in front of old man Zhang: "Why, you think this is your own house, and you still want to see it for nothing. Where is the money? Don't let me tell you every time!"

The old man Zhang sighed as if resigned to his fate, and took out 20 yuan from his pocket tremblingly.The peasant woman snatched it away, raised her chin, and said to the people behind him, "What about you? Twenty each!"

Uncle Zhang's lips trembled, and his voice was a little excited: "They, do they want money too?"

"Why, you are human, they are not human? I want to see Alanpo, everyone wants money!"

Fuck, shrew, when her broken yard is a tourist attraction, she still needs money!Qin Zhao cursed secretly, he couldn't see the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled being bullied the most, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to argue.But just as he took a step, Chu Sinian stood in front of him and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Are you going to help someone, or hit someone?"

Qin Zhao was startled, Chu Sinian had already walked up to the peasant woman, took out a hundred yuan from his wallet, and said coldly: "That's all. If you don't want us to enter—" Chu Sinian raised his eyes slightly, disgustedly Looking at her: "Then there is no point, let's force our way."

Seeing Chu Sinian, the peasant woman lost a little bit of confidence, her swollen eyes quickly looked around, and she quickly grabbed the pink ticket and put it in her pocket: "It's a good day for you today. It will be different next time."

Uncle Zhang sighed, and then led a group of people towards the back of the courtyard.It turned out that apart from a row of tile-roofed houses in the small courtyard, there was a separate mud hut behind it. There were two neat rows of rapeseed flowers swaying in the wind at the door, and a hunched figure was watering the rapeseed flowers among the flowers.

Uncle Zhang stopped in his tracks, his lips trembled before he stretched his neck and shouted, "Alan? Alan?"

The figure in the flowers moved when he heard the sound, and revealed his face from the flowers.She is an old woman with white hair, her face is full of deep traces left by the years, but her eyes are pure and amazing, looking at the people in front of her curiously and kindly.

"Who are you?" Alan Po asked Uncle Zhang.

"I'm old Zhang. Hey...you can't remember again." Uncle Zhang stepped forward with a smile, and held the rapeseed flowers in his arms before Alan Po:

"Smell it, is it fragrant?"

Alan Po smiled and took it, lowered her head and sniffed: "It smells so good...then, who are they?"

"They are my friends. They come to see you and take you for treatment."

Alanpo said "Oh" and smiled kindly.

Qin Zhao couldn't help whispering: "This old woman, isn't it..." Qin Zhao stretched out his two fingers, and nodded his head lightly.

Chu Sinian said nothing, but pursed his lips silently.

Uncle Zhang saw everyone's doubts, and smiled apologetically: "This is the person I want to see, Alan Po. She...she has a bad memory in the past two years, and people in the city say that what she has is old age Dementia. How ugly. But I specifically asked the doctor, it’s not dementia, it’s what it’s called... what ah what... sea disease."

Qin Zhao and Chu Sinian looked at each other, and they kept silent in an unprecedented tacit understanding.

With the support of Uncle Zhang, Alanpo slowly walked out of the flowers step by step.At first glance, everyone thought that Granny Alan was short in stature, that's why she got half a head over Uncle Zhang.After she walked out, everyone discovered that Alan Po's back was like a fully drawn bow, so bent that she couldn't stand up straight at all.

Several people entered the house.The walls of the house were covered with waste newspapers, and the floor was muddy. Although it was dilapidated, it was kept clean and tidy. Even the broken parts of the tables and chairs were well repaired.There was also a bowl on the table, half of which was turbid soup with a few pieces of oil flakes floating in it, and half a slice of white radish floating in it.

Uncle Zhang took a look at the bowl and sighed silently.Take out a large bag of boiled red-skinned eggs from the bamboo basket that was carried along the way, hand it to Alan Po, and exhort:

"Hide it well this time, don't let your daughter-in-law find out again. If you can't remember it, you will have to starve. Come on, let the doctor see your illness first." Looking up to Chu Sinian, he said earnestly: " Doctor, look at her waist, can it be cured?"

Chu Sinian opened the medical kit that he brought over, put on medical gloves and checked briefly, his beautiful brows slowly frowned.

Although no radiographs were taken, according to palpation and his previous experience, Alan Po's spine is very curved and has been for a long time.

"This mother-in-law must have been born with a spinal deformity."

Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes. You can tell at a glance? You are really a miracle doctor. Then you must be able to cure her waist!"

"Don't think about whether it can be cured first." Chu Sinian hung up the stethoscope, and skillfully helped Alan Po put on the sphygmomanometer while saying, "Irregular heartbeat, and there are murmurs in the lungs. I'll check her blood pressure again."

"Don't you just look at the bones? Why do you need to check so many?" Qin Zhao poked his head from the side.

Chu Sinian gave him a displeased look: "Blood pressure measurement, please keep quiet."

Qin Zhao retracted his head resentfully, and quickly gestured for a zipper around his mouth.

After a moment.

Chu Sinian took off the sphygmomanometer and looked at Uncle Zhang with a serious face: "Grandma's blood pressure is much lower than that of healthy people. Although I can't do a more detailed examination, based on past experience, I suspect that my mother-in-law has a serious underlying disease Spinal deformity is the mildest symptom. She is so old, if she undergoes major surgery such as spinal correction, there is a high possibility of accidents."

The light in Uncle Zhang's eyes trembled: "Accident? Is... Will I die?"

"Are you going to die... Hey, what's the matter?" Alan Po smiled and looked at Uncle Zhang: "Good-hearted man, you don't know. I'm about to die, and I can live in a few days."

Alanpo patted Chu Sinian's hand lovingly: "Please, young man, heal my back. It doesn't matter if you press it with a board or hit it with a hammer, even if you make me stand upright for a day and die , okay? How ugly would it be if I lay hunched over in the coffin? How can I meet people?"

Chu Sinian looked at her in embarrassment.Qin Zhao beside him couldn't help interjecting: "Grandma, you have cured your back, who are you going to wait for?"

As if thinking of some sweet past, Alanpo suddenly looked a little shy and fascinated: "Go and wait for my Brother Hua."

"Brother Hua?" Qin Zhao looked at Alanpo, and then looked at Uncle Zhang who was beside him suspiciously.

Uncle Zhang smiled honestly, blushing a little: "Hey, listen to her, listen to her. She remembers this clearly."

The director team on the side keenly gave Alan Po a close-up shot.

Alan Po didn't notice the camera lens at all, and she didn't even notice the calm expression of Uncle Zhang beside her. She seemed to be intoxicated in a beautiful dream, and every trace of the years on her face seemed to be softened by her memories:

"I have known Brother Ahua since we were young. We always played in the rapeseed field from dawn to dusk. We had a great time. My family was poor, and my parents disliked me for being a hunchback and beat me every day. But Ahua Brother doesn't dislike me, he is afraid that I won't have enough to eat at home, so he always steals red eggs from his own house and stuffs them for me. Once he was found by his family, chased and beaten by his mother, and he was covered in chicken feathers. Another time, I was found by my family in the middle of eating, and I was so scared that I almost choked to death..."

"Then what happened next?" Chu Sinian asked.

Alan covered her mouth and smiled: "Later, when we grew up and caught up with the famine and couldn't eat, I was sold by my parents for two bags of corn noodles. I cried every day, cried, and wanted to run, but I He carried a big camel on his back, couldn't eat enough, couldn't run away, and gave birth to someone else's child. And then... I don't remember exactly, I just know that I'm old and I can't find him .”

Alanpo pursed her lips, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "I think he must dislike me, a hunchback, and gave birth to someone else's baby. I don't want me anymore. I can only wait for him underground and explain clearly to him Well. Now that the society is developed, I want to cure my hunchback, so that when I go underground, he won’t look down on me and refuse to see me when he sees that I’m straight and pretty.”

After Alan Po finished speaking, everyone fell silent.Qin Zhao looked at Granny Alan, and then looked at Old Man Zhang inquisitively: "So, that Brother Hua is—oh!"

Qin Zhao looked at Chu Sinian aggrievedly.The latter withdrew his feet expressionlessly.

The old man Zhang smiled and waved his hands: "It doesn't matter who you are. The doctor said before that she may not live until this summer. She has suffered a lifetime because of this hump on her back, and she will be bullied by her daughter-in-law when she is old." When she arrives, she just wants to straighten up and look decent, even for a day... I can't help you with anything else, but this, I will help you no matter what."

As the old man Zhang said, he carefully took out the passbook that had been hidden on his body all the time: "There are [-] yuan given to me by your program, and [-] yuan from my own savings. Doctor, do you think these are enough for the surgery? "

Chu Sinian looked at old man Zhang, and then at the expectant Alan woman beside him.Chu Sinian's eyes are very dark and bright, and when he usually looks at people, he is always calm and emotionless, but now there is a faint glint in his eyes. You can take that look as tenderness.

"Hey, say something, Doctor."

Qin Zhao waved his hand: "Stupid?"

Chu Sinian stared at Alanpo's arched back and fell silent.He always thought that the purpose of studying medicine was to cure diseases and save lives.However, if Alan Po had an operation, no matter how successful the operation was, she would not be able to withstand it for a few days due to her physical condition.

Just for a dream, is it necessary to take a few days of her life?

"You, have you really thought about it? This operation will take a toll on your body, and you may not survive a few days, and there may even be an accident on the operating table...?"

Alanpo smiled without saying a word, just turned around and walked to the bed, and slowly and carefully took out a package from the wooden box under the bed.When the package was opened, it turned out to be a set of bright red traditional Chinese wedding dresses. The colorful phoenix on the skirt was lifelike, and a pair of embroidered cloth shoes with red cloth layered soles. Two lotus flowers with green leaves and pink petals were embroidered with wool on the toe.

Alanpo caressed the embroidery on the wedding dress carefully, her eyes full of longing.After a while, under the surprised eyes of everyone, she slowly said: "Think it over. Even if I only live for one day, I want to straighten my back, put on this dress, and go to see him beautifully."

--------------------------

Alan's home is in a deep valley, not open to traffic. To take Alan out for surgery, she has to walk a winding mountain road like they did when they came.But Alan's back was so arched that she wobbled and could hardly stop.Chu Sinian thought for a while, then squatted down, intending to carry Alan Po on his back.Who would have thought that when he turned around, Qin Zhao was one step ahead of him and hugged Alan Po firmly.Because of the force, his shoulders and arms showed a very lean and beautiful outline, and his messy red hair made him look like he was raised to 1.9 meters.

"What are you looking at?" Qin Zhao felt good about himself and raised his eyebrows at Chu Sinian who was slightly stunned: "Does my father look [-] meters tall?"

Chu Sinian: ...

A group of people were about to walk out of the farmyard, but suddenly they heard a loud shout, and the peasant woman with swollen eyes ran out again somehow.Behind him was a middle-aged man who looked like a village cadre with glasses.When the peasant woman saw that Qin Zhao was about to leave with Granny Alan in her arms, she burst into tears.The people who pulled the director's team refused to let go.

"In broad daylight, you dare to rob people. Is there any law of heaven, and is there any law of the king! Ah, I'm dead! Village secretary, take care of me!"

The village party secretary adjusted his glasses in embarrassment, and said to the crowd: "This... I know that you come to our place to shoot the show, and you take it back. Don't take him away. His family is poor, so he counts on this old man's help." Pension to live on..."

Qin Zhao frowned deeply in disgust, didn't bother to answer any more, and walked forward with Alan Po in his arms.

Pick the persimmon softly.The peasant woman knew how powerful Qin Zhao was, so she didn't dare to go forward to provoke him. She wanted to tease old man Zhang, but she was blocked when she took a step forward.

Chu Sinian crossed his arms and looked at the peasant woman coldly, his eyes froze on the gold earrings of the peasant woman.He saw a lot of gnawing old people living on the old man's pension in the hospital.

He turned slightly sideways and said a few words to the village party secretary.After speaking, turn around and leave.

The peasant woman was shocked: "You are talking nonsense, why do you say that!"

However, this time, no one talked to her again.

-------------------------------------------------- -----

The mountain road is long, but Qin Zhao has always held Alan woman firmly and never took a breath.Two days later, Alanpo underwent surgery in the hospital.

The shadowless lamp was on and off for six hours, and the operation was very successful. On the night after the operation, with the help of painkillers, Alanpo slept soundly.

Only five days later, Alan Po quietly disappeared.

A nurse saw that it was an old man carrying a bamboo basket who helped Alan out of the hospital.There was also a bag of hard-boiled red-skinned eggs and a thick pile of money on the hospital bed, totaling 5 yuan.

Although Qin Zhao had secretly paid all the medical expenses in advance.

I heard the news of the two old people again. It was on the eve of the recording of the second issue of "Dear Journey". Chu Sinian and Qin Zhao had just boarded the plane to Venice, Italy.Before the giant steel bird was about to spread its wings and roar, the program group received a call from old man Zhang.Old man Zhang calmly told Chu Sinian that Alan Po had passed away.

Old man Zhang said that Granny Alan passed away peacefully. She finally straightened her back and lay down safely in the coffin wearing the wedding dress embroidered by herself.The old man Zhang also said that Alanpo is very grateful to all those who helped her fulfill her dying wish.Old Han Zhang paused for a moment, and then said that Grandma Alan sewed two pockets in her wedding dress, one with a photo of Brother Hua in one pocket, and a comb in the other.Alanpo sewed up the top of the pocket so that things would not fall out on bumpy roads.When she got to the ground, she used this comb to comb her hair well, and then took the photo to find someone.

This old woman, even without teeth, is still beautiful.

This old woman, she also knows that she has a bad memory and can't remember people.

Old man Zhang chuckled on the other end of the phone.

Amidst the huge roar of the machine, the program group finally added that Alan Po's evil daughter-in-law had been disqualified for poverty subsidies.With no life left, she was unconvinced and teased the village party secretary. She was caught in the detention center for picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and she hasn't come out yet.

The program team also said that they secretly saw the photo of Brother Ahua.The person in the photo is very young, it seems to be an old man Zhang, but he doesn't seem to be.

The gigantic steel wings roared to a height of [-] meters, and all the majestic human buildings were as insignificant as ants, and quickly disappeared among the vast sea of ​​clouds.But Chu Sinian knows that no matter how small life is, they are warmly embracing this vast world. Even a small grass will take root in the hard ground with their small body.

Chu Sinian quietly stared at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window, the light and shadow outlined his handsome profile, long eye tails, straight nose bridge with a bit of delicate, and thin, always a bit alienated corners of his lips .

Qin Zhao covered most of his face with the airline magazine, and squinted at Chu Sinian for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said, "Hey, Chu Sinian, I want to ask you a question."

Chu Sinian pulled away from the emotion just now, raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"

"What did you say to that shrew that day? Why did the village party secretary change his expression and stop the shrew from making trouble?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Chu Sinian said, "I just told the village party secretary that if someone reports that someone in his village abuses the elderly and refuses to let the old man get medical treatment, then his position as village party secretary may be unstable."

"Hey, you're quite thoughtful." Qin Zhao gave a thumbs up and said without thinking:

"Actually, I have been with you for the past few days in Jiangxi. I have discovered that you are still very enthusiastic and kind. I heard that you didn't ask for a penny for the operation of Alan Po, and you even applied to the hospital to help the old man reduce the medical expenses. Fei? But I’m wondering, why do you still accept big red envelopes from patients during the Chinese New Year? He’s only a teenager, so pitiful. Do you have something to hide?”

Chu Sinian narrowed his eyes slightly, and leaned back in his chair slowly.His facial features do not have the deep and sharp lines of Qin Zhao, but are as cool and beautiful as a landscape painting, extremely beautiful.Especially those eyes, because of the subtle curvature at the end of the eyes, even when he looks at people in a normal way, it always gives people the feeling that people's heart skips a beat for no reason.

Qin Zhao vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Chu Sinian stared at Qin Zhao with a half-smile: "Speaking of which, I want to ask you, why do you think I'm the one who accepts red envelopes?"
