Chapter 115: Step into the Darkness
The year Lin Zhen was born, there was a great flood that happened only once in a century.
The flood came so quickly that Lin's mother had no choice but to flee with her father in a hurry, as she was about to give birth.
Since all their property was washed away by the water and there was no way to contact relatives and friends, the couple had no choice but to flee to a small county town slightly closer to their hometown.
But that era was already chaotic, coupled with natural disasters, countless people fled, and food was more precious than gold.
Fortunately, Lin's mother did not forget to take her dowry jewelry with her when she fled. With the money from pawning the jewelry, the couple rented a dilapidated house.
In order to allow his wife to have a full meal after giving birth, Father Lin got up at three or four o'clock every morning to prepare breakfast for his wife, and then hurriedly went out to do hard work to make money. He had to take on four or five jobs a day, and had to run home from time to time.
I cook for my wife and am often so busy that I forget the time and don’t get home until midnight.
However, God rewarded those who worked hard, and Father Lin's diligence allowed their family to survive this catastrophe that claimed tens of thousands of lives.
At noon that day, Lin's father went home as usual to make lunch for his wife. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his wife clutching her stomach and crying out in pain. He asked him to quickly go ask Granny Wen and tell her that she was going to give birth!
Father Lin didn't dare to be careless. He walked out of the courtyard in three steps and almost bumped into a middle-aged man who was coming towards him.
Lin's father hurriedly confessed and was about to leave, but the man stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Brother, my wife is about to give birth?"
The first words the man spoke shocked Father Lin, but it was just a surprise.
It had been more than three months since he came here, and the neighbors knew that his wife was pregnant and about to give birth.
But when Lin's father looked at the other person carefully, he found that this person was very unfamiliar, and he seemed to have never seen him before.
Father Lin still didn't think much about it. He was rarely at home on weekdays. Maybe it was the new neighbor who he hadn't met yet, but he had no intention of talking to him at this time. His wife was about to give birth.
This is the top priority right now!
"Yes! I'm sorry, I have to go ask Mrs. Wen, please step aside." Lin's father apologized and left immediately.
Although he came from a poor background, he had attended school for a few years and was very polite to others on weekdays. Even when he was anxious at the moment, he did not lose his etiquette.
I thought that since I said this, the other person would have no reason to stop me no matter what, but instead of getting out of the way, the person actually tried to move into his yard.
Now Lin's father couldn't hold on any longer. His daughter-in-law was giving birth and her husband was not at home. This man actually went to his own home in broad daylight. Is this even legal?!
Honest people still have a temper!
He grabbed the other person and was about to get angry, but saw the other person turn his head and smile at him and said: "What age are you in, and you are still looking for Wen Po? No need to look for it, I will help you deliver the baby."
These words made Father Lin feel angry and funny at the same time. He grabbed the other person's wrist and pulled him away. He said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Don't make fun of me! If you want to make fun of me, wait until I come back."
Stop me, don’t blame me for being rude!”
While he was speaking, he had already exerted seven percent of his strength on his hands.
I thought that the other party looked weak and would be pulled away by me if I pulled him.
But what Lin's father didn't expect was that this pull, not only failed to move the opponent, but almost caused him to slip away.
Seeing that the man was about to walk into his yard, Lin's father stopped him directly and yelled: "What are you going to do? Don't do this in the blue sky!"
Looking at the man again, the smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced by an anxious look. He looked at Father Lin and said, "Get out of the way quickly. It will be too late if you wait any longer!"
Father Lin was so angry that his head was about to explode. Good guy, this should be his line, why did he say it first?
The two were in a stalemate for more than ten seconds. Mother Lin's painful moans came from the room. Father Lin couldn't bear it anymore and raised his hand to hit her.
He knew that he was no match for the person in front of him, but his wife was suffering in the house, with her own flesh and blood in her belly, and if she kept going on for a long time, she might kill two people, so he couldn't care less.
Hearing that low groan, the man let out a long sigh. Seeing that Father Lin was about to hit him, he ducked sideways and said with regret in his tone: "Hey...it's too late. Go east for about two hundred meters and turn right. There is a room
Clinic, go there and find the doctor! You hold this knife, there will be a big flood in seven years, and I will come to collect the money for the knife."
Lin's father punched the air and was about to continue the pursuit, but he heard the other party say something like this.
Before he could react, the man forced a kitchen knife wrapped in a newspaper into his hand, and then turned around and left without stopping.
Maybe the noise just now alerted the neighbors. A shirtless man walked out of the yard next to him, looked at Lin's father and asked, "Brother, what happened?"
Father Lin seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and hurriedly said: "My wife is about to give birth! I want to go find a doctor. That man seems to be mentally ill and insists on entering my yard. Brother, please help and keep an eye on me. I will go find a doctor and go back."
!”
Hearing this, the other party showed a confused look. Father Lin felt something was wrong. He looked back and saw that the alley was empty, with no trace of the weirdo just now.
Although the strong man did not see the mental illness that Father Lin said, he still agreed: "Brother, go quickly, we can't delay this matter! I will help you watch the house, don't worry, not a mouse will be let in!"
Father Lin thanked him and ran towards the east without looking back. In his memory, there was indeed a clinic in the east.
More than two hundred meters away, Father Lin ran to the door of the clinic in less than half a minute, pushed open the door, pulled his neck and shouted: "My wife is going to give birth!"
The receptionist nurse who was dozing in the clinic almost screamed when she saw Father Lin rushing in with a kitchen knife. Fortunately, he shouted immediately, otherwise he would most likely be arrested as a mentally ill person.
The little nurse hurried into the office to find the doctor. After a while, a very strange scene appeared on the street.
A man with a kitchen knife in his hand anxiously led a doctor carrying a medical kit. Some people thought he was a patient from a mental hospital who ran out, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the doctor who dared to chase behind him alone.
Sweat.
More than three hours later, a low-pitched baby cry sounded in the dilapidated tile-roofed house.
The doctor said that because Lin’s amniotic water broke early, the fetus was hypoxic and the fetus might be weak in the future. Fortunately, he arrived in time and it did not lead to tragedy, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
Hearing that his son almost lost his life because of wasting time, Father Lin was so angry that he threw the kitchen knife into the warehouse and cursed: "Damn charlatan! It's best not to let me see you again.
!Hit you every time I see you!"
