Chapter 77 The Cripple (1/2)
“I’m going back to my hometown in the countryside to see my uncle.” Li Yong laughs and says, “I’ll be back in about two days, at most two days.”
“Do you still have an uncle?” Han Lu once heard Li Yong say that he was an orphan.
“Yes! He is my only relative. He brought me up.” A figure of a cripple appears in Li Yong’s mind. The cripple has been very good to him, but how does he not have much affection for the cripple? If they were on good terms, he would have run back and cured the cripple first after getting the ancient medical skills
“Oh, why don’t you bring him over to live in Zhonghai City?” Han Lu says with concern.
“No, he’s used to living in the countryside and he’s not used to living in the city.” Li Yong faintly refuses.
“Well, then you go! Do you want money?” Han Lu takes out a card from somewhere and asks.
Li Yong suddenly finds that Han Lu still cares about him. She is willing to give him money. Li Yong has to say that his wife still has feelings for him in her heart.
“No, I have money.” Li Yong has no intention of spending a woman’s money.
After leaving the villa of the Han Family, Li Yong comes to the Yong Kang Clinic. He explains to Zhang Yurong for a moment. Then he drives the newly domestic car he bought and leaves Zhonghai City.
Li Yong drives on the highway and it only takes him six hours to get back to his hometown in the countryside without any hindrance.
Since he went to college, Li Yong has never come back. Five years have passed and his hometown has also changed a lot.
The road has been repaired and lots of buildings have been built on both sides of the road. There are dirty children running along the road, which reminds Li Yong of his childhood...
Only his home remains unchanged. There are still three old tiled houses in his home. The courtyard walls have collapsed and are overgrown with weeds.
Li Yong parks his car in front of his home and immediately attracts a crowd of children. There are few cars in the countryside. Anyone who drives back in a car can absolutely attract a crowd of people.
Li Yong doesn’t know the children. He goes straight into the yard and shouts, “Uncle, I’m back.”
The wooden door is opened and then Widow Wang of this village comes out with the rubbish. Li Yong is angry at the sight of Widow Wang. He finally understands that the reason why he has no feelings for the cripple is because of Widow Wang.
When Li Yong was young, there were rumors between the cripple and Widow Wang in the village, which were very ugly.
Because of these rumors, Li Yong was very angry with the cripple, which made the relationship between them fade.
“Widow Wang, why are you in my home?” Li Yong asks with a sneer.
“Xiaoyong, you are back at last.” Then the cripple comes out with a bright smile. He grabs Widow Wang’s hand and introduces, “Xiaoyong, this is your stepmother. I married her two years ago.”
Only then does Li Yong know the situation. He takes a deep breath and no longer expresses his dissatisfaction. Anyway, the purpose of his return is to figure out a thing, and then he will leave. At that time, they will be out of his sight and out of his mind. Why does he care so much about them?
Li Yong walks into the house and finds that the room is still so messy and there is a strange smell. He doesn’t even want to sit down, so he stands there and asks, “Uncle, I want to ask you a question.”
The cripple asks Widow Wang to go to the kitchen to cook. Then he looks at Li Yong, smoking and laughing, “You have a conscience and know to come back to see me. Come on, what do you want to ask?”
“Who are my parents?” Li Yong asks word by word.
The cripple stops laughing, smokes fiercely, shakes his head and says, “I don’t know.”
“How long are you going to conceal this from me?” Li Yong shouts loudly.
“I really don’t know.” The cripple smokes fiercely again. Seeing that the cigarette has been run out, the cripple takes out another one.
“Okay, then I’ll go. You can think that I’m not back.” Li Yong turns round and walks out. He doesn’t want to stay here for a minute. He doesn’t know why he hates the family so much.
“Xiaoyong, you can go after a meal!” The cripple shouts in the back.
When Li Yong looks back, his heart aches when he sees that the cripple’s hair has turned gray and the cripple is unconsciously old. If he leaves today, they will probably part forever. Li Yong’s heart softens instantly. He hesitates for a moment, returns to the house and says, “Sit down.”
“You sit down, sit down.” The cripple smiles again.
“Just sit down, don’t say nonsense.” Li Yong orders impatiently.
The cripple moves his legs sideways and slowly sits down on a black bench. He sighs, “Xiaoyong, you have graduated from college. Where do you work?”
Li Yong doesn’t answer. He just takes out the silver needle and stabs the cripple in the leg. Li Yong urges his internal strength and wants to clear the meridians of the cripple’s leg and cure the cripple. Li Yong has seen through his clairvoyant vision that the cripple’s leg is lame because of the obstruction of the meridians.
“What are you doing? Xiaoyong, stop quickly.” The cripple is in a panic and shouts loudly.
Li Yong suddenly takes back the silver needle and stands up. He says faintly, “Stand up and take several steps.”
The cripple stands up and walks forward with his legs. Although he still walks sideways, his lame leg is obviously powerful and balanced with his body. He is not lame now.
The cripple quickens his pace and takes a few more steps. His body becomes more and more stable. His leg has really recovered.
However, the cripple is not happy about it. Instead, he grabs Li Yong’s hand and says in horror, “Xiaoyong, you make me lame quickly. My leg can’t be cured.”
