Chapter 8 (1/2)
The three had a full meal. Guo Er patted his round belly and smiled happily. Guo Xiang was also very satisfied. Now the fish and eggs are natural and inorganic, especially fragrant, which could not be eaten in previous lives. It's really delicious.
Wang Guiying was worried that she had run out of food. Before her son sent money back, she had to eat sweet potatoes every day. She was not afraid. It was Guo ER and Guo Xiang who were afraid that they were not used to it.
”Mom, don't worry. I'll buy some food now. Do you know who has surplus food? ” Asked Guo Xiang.
”At this time, there is only the village head's house.” Wang Guiying said, ”go again tomorrow. It's late today. It's dark and slippery. Be careful of wrestling.”
”Mom, it's all right. Have you forgotten that I have kung fu?” Guo Xiang smiled. If she didn't buy today, there would be no food tomorrow morning. It's all right if she didn't eat a meal. The fruit is still young and can't make her hungry.
”Then be careful!” Wang Guiying said, taking a flashlight from the house and putting it in Guo Xiang's hand, ”it's hard to walk after raining. Slow down.”
”Ah, I see.” Guo Xiang answered happily after receiving the flashlight.
At the village head's house, four yuan bought 20 kilograms of grain. Originally, it was more than one kilogram of grain. However, Guo Xiang didn't bring a grain ticket. He spent 20 cents a kilogram. Forget it. After buying it, I don't know whether there is a grain ticket at home.
Guo Xiang walked back with 20 kilograms of grain. The road was very muddy. Because it rained, there were potholes everywhere, and some places collapsed. She walked very carefully. If she fell and soiled the grain, even if she washed it clean, it was easy to get moldy in this weather.
Suddenly, there was a humming voice in front, intermittent.
Although Guo Xiang is an atheist, there are still so many things in the world that can not be explained by science. When she thought of some ghost legends she had heard before, her cold hair stood up and cried with some surprise: ”who is it and who is there?”
He took the flashlight and looked at the sound. He found a half old bicycle on the ground. When he looked forward, an old man with half white hair fell into a nearby ditch. Maybe he was hurt and couldn't get up. His face turned white and his mouth hummed.
Guo Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be human.
He quickly found a slightly dry place to put down the food and jumped into the ditch to help the old man, ”Sir, how are you? Where did you fall? ”
When I helped someone, I cried out in pain, ”slow down, my leg is broken...”
”Ah?” Guo Xiang was surprised that his leg was broken so badly?
He carefully helped him to his feet, sat down on the edge of the ditch, and then slowly moved his legs up.
Picked up the flashlight, found a place to put it, stroked his trouser legs up according to the uncle's legs, gently pressed his fingers on his lower legs to explore, touched the misplaced place, and the old man shouted again. As expected, it was a fracture.
”Sir, you are badly hurt. Let me take you to the hospital.” Guo Xiang said quickly.
”No, just take me home.” The old man waved his hand.
”How about that? If your leg is broken, how about not taking it to the hospital? The broken leg is no joke. ” Guo Xiang is in a hurry.
She knows that rural people are poor and reluctant to spend money on medical treatment, but breaking their legs is a big deal. If they become disabled in order to save some money, it will be more than worth the loss.
”No, I'm the doctor myself. Just take me home.” The old man shook his head.
Guo Xiang noticed that there was a medicine box tied to the back seat of the bike. Should this uncle be a barefoot doctor in the village?
She knew that the medical conditions in this period were not good. There were no formal hospitals in rural areas. Generally, barefoot doctors opened a simple health center. A person in the village loved his head and brain and gave an injection to prescribe some medicine, but he could cure the broken leg?
”But your leg is broken...” Guo Xiang was worried.
