Back to the Countryside

Sitting in her own room, He Zhen looked at the bowl of black concoction in her hand, and felt a little nervous. This medicine was his last life-saving straw. If it didn't work, he might have to live like this for the rest of his life. !

He gritted his teeth and gulped down the medicine in one breath. The bitter taste spread in his mouth, making him frown tightly.

After drinking the medicine and putting the bowl on the table, he took a small breath, wondering if it was because the medicine juice was too hot, he felt his whole stomach was scalding!

He Zhen stood up and wanted to take the empty bowl to the stove, but the sudden hotter feeling in his stomach made him throw himself on the table, and the medicine bowl fell to the ground and broke into several pieces!

He tightly covered his abdomen with his hands, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. The burning sensation intensified little by little, and gradually turned into burning pain, as if someone had set a fire in his stomach. It burned his entire stomach to the point of rotting away!

"Hmph!" He couldn't help but groaned in pain, curling his body even tighter.

He thought that this feeling would disappear with the passage of time, but it didn't. The burning pain spread all over his body. He felt that he was thrown into the fire, and the fierce flames burned his flesh and blood without stopping!

"Yeah!!" He struggled and fell to the ground, turning his body constantly, trying to extinguish the "fire" on his body, but the "fire" followed him like a shadow, burning everything about him.

The pain of the skin full of ruptured blisters rubbing against the ground was ignored under this kind of pain. He Zhen screamed miserably, and everyone in the shocked family who was about to sleep gathered over.

"Zhen'er, what's the matter?!" Qian Shi took the lead in pushing open the door, looking at the knocked tables and chairs, followed by He Zhen who kept rolling on the ground, she was shocked!

He Tian came in with his clothes on, and was startled when he saw the mess, "What's going on?"

Several juniors were standing at the door, just hearing the screams felt scary, the sound was like being cut!

"Zhen'er, Zhen'er!" Qian Shi wanted to help him, but was forced to get close by his violent movements, so he could only watch helplessly, "Don't scare mother, what's wrong with you?"

"There was a smell of medicine in the room, did he drink some medicine?" He Tian smelled it when he first came in.

"Medicine? Medicine!" As soon as he mentioned the medicine, Qian remembered that the old doctor in the town seemed to have said that the medicine would be very painful after drinking it.

Seeing that he had guessed, He Tian hurriedly asked, "Do you know? Did you guys go to the town to buy the medicine today?"

Qian took a look at He Tian, ​​feeling a little guilty. She never dared to tell him about spending so much money on the medicine today. She wanted to keep it a secret for a day, but now it's like this, how can she hide it.She had no choice but to nod, and explained the situation of going to the doctor carefully.

"One set of medicine for three hundred cash?!" He Tian's eyes widened, "You only spent a tael of silver for those five medicines?!"

"I...Didn't I think that if Zhen'er is cured, he can marry a good family!" Qian naturally felt that it was expensive in her heart, but if He Zhen married a rich man, she would get it back !

"You..." He Tian pointed at her and couldn't speak. Although the reason is so reasonable, but everything is so absolute, it's a waste of money!

"Ah!!" He Zhen on the ground screamed again and knocked over a stool. Coupled with his skin full of rotten sores, it looked particularly terrifying!

He Tian didn't know what to say when his elder brother turned into such a ghostly appearance, so he just flung his sleeves and left his room.

"Father and mother are becoming more and more eccentric!" Zheng curled her lips in dissatisfaction, lowered her voice and said to the others: "One tael of silver was spent so casually!"

"A tael of silver?" Mrs. Liu looked over, "Didn't you hear what mother said? He bought five medicines for a tael of silver. His illness is not over yet!"

The faces of the two brothers He Fu and He Gui are not very good-looking. If it only takes this one time, it will be fine. He Zhen will have to take medicine every day in the future. When will he be tall?

"What are you still doing standing there? Come and help!" Qian, who had never been able to get close to He Zhen, saw them all standing there in a daze, and called for someone.

Several people rushed over, holding hands, pulling legs, He Zhen in pain was so powerful that he broke free several times, and He Fu's hands were scratched with nail marks. When he was pressed on the bed, the five of them were covered in sweat!

"Second daughter-in-law, go get a rope!" As long as you don't hold him down, He Zhen will still roll around, Qian Shi gritted her teeth and decided to tie her up, it's better than letting him hurt herself.

Mrs. Zheng went to the yard to find a rope, and tied He Zhen's hands and feet firmly to the bedpost. To prevent him from biting his tongue, Mrs. Qian stuffed a cloth towel in his mouth.

"Mother, this medicine is so scary to drink, is it useful? Don't be deceived!" He Gui looked at He Zhen, who was still struggling even though she was tied up, and asked Qian.

In fact, Qian didn't have much confidence in her heart, but she still said: "Don't talk nonsense, we went to the famous medical center in the town, isn't it just to deceive people by smashing our own brand name!"

Seeing what Qian said was so certain, He Gui couldn't doubt it anymore, but he hoped that the medicine would be useless, so that he wouldn't have to spend money!

"A pair of medicines for three hundred cash is really expensive!" He Fu muttered, his family's food and drink for a month didn't cost three hundred cash, so they bought a pack of medicines that could be finished in just a few mouthfuls!

"What? You're going to blame me too!" Qian stared at him. She already felt sorry for spending money, so it was fine for He Tian to blame her, and her son dared to blame her!

"That's not what I meant!" Seeing her angry, He Fu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Okay, I know what you're thinking!" Qian Shi didn't really lose her temper, "You guys are not happy about spending so much money on Brother Zhen, but you have to think about it, Zhener can only be cured Only then can we find a good husband’s family, and we will live a good life accordingly!”

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zheng glanced at each other quietly, their eyes were full of disdain, what kind of He Zhen, they have a clear mind, Qi Yue, who is in front of them, can't take it down, not to mention someone else who is thousands of miles away!

He Fu and He Gui were also hesitant, but they were still lying there, and they couldn't ask any more questions. Even though he was insane now, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't hear them.

In the end, Mrs. Qian stayed in his room to take care of him temporarily, and everyone else went back to the room. The children were all asleep in the room. When they woke up, there was no one in the room, and they were afraid they were about to cry.

When He Zhen woke up the next day, her whole body was sore. After the pain disappeared last night, he fell asleep unconsciously.

He slowed down and still had some chaotic consciousness, and slowly sat up. After he fell asleep, Qian Shi untied the rope that helped him. He lowered his head, looked at his hands, and stared sharply. Big eyes!

He didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he rushed out of bed and threw himself on the washbasin to take a picture. His skin didn't have new blisters, and the wounds that had rotted before had scabbed over. He was recovering!

He Zhen was about to cry with joy, even though he endured an hour of life yesterday, as long as he can recover, then everything is worth it!

Qian came into his room with a bowl of porridge, and saw him lying barefoot on the washbasin, "Why don't you wear shoes?"

"Mother!" He Zhen raised her head and walked up to her with a face full of surprise, "Look at my face!"

Qian looked around and found that he was better. He put down the bowl and supported his shoulders, "My Zhen'er, your face has recovered a lot. This medicine really works!"

"In a few days, I will be back to my original state!" He was very happy that he no longer had to endure the itching and strange looks from others.But in the next moment, he stopped smiling, "But mother, my medicine is only enough for five days!"

As soon as he mentioned this, Qian's good mood disappeared. Although the medicine was good, it was all in exchange for vain money, just like cutting flesh from him.

"Mother~" He Zhen stretched out her hand to hold her arm, "Only when my illness is cured can I get close to Qi Yue!"

"You have to tell your father about buying medicine now!" Qian Shi can't be the master anymore, if he spends money on him casually, the head of her family will have to deal with her!

"Father knows?" He Zhen was slightly surprised, as he was like yesterday, he didn't know anything except the pain in his body.

"Such a big commotion, not to mention your father, I'm afraid the surrounding villagers have heard it!" His pitiful screams probably spread throughout half the village!

He Zhen pursed her lips. Originally, his thoughts were the same as Qian's, and he could hide it for a day, but he really underestimated the power of the medicine, and he didn't expect it to be so painful!

What happened to him recently caused his father to be upset when he saw him now. It might be difficult to ask him to buy medicine for him, but no matter what, he had to take the medicine!
