Hu Hu, carrying large and small bags, sat on the oxcart going back in a daze.
The driver did not dare to ask Qu Orion how Qu Jing's condition was.
Oh my god, how sick are you now? I bought all the white flour. Isn’t this the standard thing to eat before dying? I don’t dare to ask, I don’t dare to ask.
Out of sympathy, the driver gave Qu Jing the black noodle cake that he was reluctant to eat. Qu Jing refused to eat it and returned it.
The driver was even more sympathetic. He couldn't even eat the black noodle pastry and could only eat white noodles. He was afraid that he didn't have much time left to live. No wonder Qu Orion was absent-minded and seemed to be out of his body. Qu Jing was afraid that the journey would be slow.
Before returning to the village, the driver gritted his teeth and worked hard day and night, shortening the journey by one day.
In fact, Qu Orion was absent-minded entirely because his mind was occupied with remembering the prescriptions the young man told him.
Qu Orion is not stupid, he is simply uneducated, so he appears to be ignorant. But he was also captured as a young man in the past, and he has been to the outside world and has seen the world. He knows that the prescriptions are valuable, and some prescriptions can even be passed down from generation to generation as family heirlooms.
.
The young man wrote a prescription for him, but Qu Jing couldn't read and didn't want to show the prescription to others. He planned to memorize it himself, then send Qu Jing to school, and leave the prescription to Qu Jing when he knew how to read.
Qu Jing, this way Qu Jing will have the capital to settle down and live in peace after he dies.
Therefore, one night when he was on the road, Qu Jing was covered with leather as usual, and he asked in a low voice: "Jingjing, I heard that a school will be built in the village in the future. When the school is built, can grandpa send you to school?"
"
"Okay." Qu Jing opened her eyes and whispered.
.
After Qu Lihu and Qu Jing returned to the village, they heard good news from the village chief. It was confirmed that a school or primary school would be built, and several villages would jointly build one.
While Qu Jing and Qu Lianhu were on their way, the village chief relied on his sharp tongue and the advantage that there were several abandoned adobe houses in the village that could be used as classrooms for rest. He fought against all nearby villages and successfully took over the school.
.
The purpose of the village chief notifying this good news is to encourage students to learn and to set an example. The village chief's family, from Daya to Goudan, have to go to school. But now every household has little money and has to pay tuition fees to go to school. The village chief's family is gritting their teeth.
He could afford the money, but other families couldn't afford it and were unwilling to do so. The village chief came to Qu Lianhu to collect money and persuade him to send Qu Jing to school.
The two parties hit it off immediately, and Qu Jing was happy to enroll in the new semester.
In the days that followed, everything clicked on the fast forward button.
Qin Huai was like watching a movie full of trivial matters. Qu Lihu didn't tell anyone about the pastry shop, he only told about the two taels of soybeans given by the hospital for free. Many people in the village heard that such a good thing happened.
They were all very excited. In the end, because the journey was far and the toll was too expensive, I gave up going to the provincial hospital to collect soybeans.
The school affairs were settled, and a new teacher came to the village. It is said that he was a private school teacher in the county who was so poor that he was about to starve to death.
Qu Jing was pleased to welcome new students to school, and all children started in the first grade. As before, Qu Jing went to the mountains to hunt regularly, bartered with the villagers, and after hunting, he quietly practiced making rice cakes.
Qu Jing was reluctant to use the 10 kilograms of white sugar given by the young man on the unpalatable rice cakes he made. He asked the village elder's wife to make steamed buns and flatbreads with white flour, and let Qu Jing eat the white flour steamed buns dipped in white sugar.
The village chief saw this way of eating once. The distressed village chief said that this is not how rich people eat. The landlord who had just been beaten down simply ate two bites of white flour steamed buns.
Then he walked away with half a bun, crying and shouting.
In the first year that Qu Jing and Qu Lianhu spent together, Qu Lianhu made a pot of rice cake soup with the last remaining glutinous rice, and the grandfather and grandson spent the New Year drinking rice cake soup.
The next time was like a heartwarming movie.
Qu Jing goes to school, and Qu Orion hunts. The village chief informs the village of external changes from time to time. There is a supply and marketing cooperative in the town, and it is more convenient to buy oil, salt, and cloth. There is a health center in the town, and medical treatment is very cheap. Qu Orion doesn’t need to worry anymore.
Use the prey to barter with the villagers, and there is a special place in the town to collect it.
One year, two years, three years, four years.
Qu Jing studied in the fourth grade of primary school and could understand the prescriptions written by young people back then to Qu Orion.
Orion Qu is getting older, most of his hair is gray, and even his temples are a little gray. He goes hunting less and less in the mountains. He basically can't catch large prey, so he can only rely on making traps to catch small animals. Occasionally, if he is lucky, he will catch small animals in the traps.
If you can fall into a large animal such as a deer, you can sell it and save a lot of money.
Qu Orion saved a lot of money to pay for Qu Jing's medical treatment.
The most famous news in the village in recent years is not that the eldest daughter of the village chief's family gave birth to triplets after getting married, which shocked villages all over the country, nor is it that the fool from the village next door to the village elder's mother-in-law fell into the river and did not drown, but instead caught a fish worth more than 30 yuan.
The big fish is Qu Jing.
With her excellent academic performance, Qu Jing broke the rumors that she was once a fool. At the same time, because her appearance remained unchanged for 4 years, the village chief finally understood why a good girl was thrown into the mountains by her family.
This child will not grow up!
Qin Huai knew why Qu Jing had not changed in the past four years, because Qu Jing had not failed in overcoming the tribulation.
Spirits will not lose their divine power before they fail to overcome the tribulation, and they will not age. This is why few spirits choose the form of children when they transform. Adults, especially those around 20 years old, do not look the same in more than ten years.
What changes are so normal? To the outside world, it can be said that you look young and well-maintained.
But for children, let alone more than ten years, if there is no change in two or three years, people can tell the clues. It is like having the words "I am a monster" engraved on their body.
Qu Jing was lucky. No one in the village thought she was a monster. They simply thought she was suffering from a strange disease.
Qu Orion thought so too.
After discovering that Qu Jing didn't seem to have grown up in the second year, Qu Orion took Qu Jing to the health clinic in the town, and the health clinic prescribed some soybeans.
In the third year, Qu Lihu took Qu Jing to the hospital in the provincial capital again. The doctor was helpless when facing this super difficult and complicated disease, so he could only make an exception and prescribe 5 taels of soybeans for Qu Lihu.
The doctor in the provincial capital recommended Qu Orihu to take Qu Jing to the hospital in Peiping for treatment, saying that there were the best doctors in the country. If the hospital in Peiping could not treat him well, there would be no treatment. However, it was a long way to go to Peiping, and he had to take a train.
, the cost was also very high, and the doctor asked Qu Orion to save more money.
After hearing this, Hunter Qu wanted to go up the mountain to hunt brown bears, but when he encountered a wild boar, he almost broke his leg while escaping. Hunter Qu lamented that he was no longer the old hunter who could bravely fight tigers, so he changed his occupation to digging traps and catching small animals.
Animals save money.
Seeing that Qu Jing still showed no signs of growing up, Qu Orion was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were blistering. He had already begun to think about whether to sell all the tiger skins, fox skins, and tiger bones collected at home. He didn't wait any longer and hurried to invest at the end of the year.
Before winter, I took Qu Jing to Peking for medical treatment.
The latest chapter of this novel is first released, please go and read it!
Qu Orion obviously felt old.
He found that he had been forgetful since the beginning of the year. He would forget the location of the traps he made and the amount of prey he sold. Sometimes he couldn't remember why he went up the mountain today as soon as he reached the bottom of the mountain.
Qu Orion felt that he was a little old and confused.
But he didn't tell Qu Jing, he just digested the forgetfulness silently.
And all his forgetfulness was seen by Qin Huai.
Qin Huai sighed, he felt as if he had seen the ending of this tender movie.
One morning, Qu Orion got up early to make breakfast as usual, boiled two eggs in one go and brought them to Qu Jing.
"Grandpa, why did you boil two eggs today?" Qu Jing gave one of the eggs to Qu Orion, "The doctor has said that nutritional supplements alone are useless for my disease, so you should also eat eggs."
Qu Orion smiled and said: "Today is Teacher Wang's birthday. Jingjing, please bring this egg to Teacher Wang."
Qu Jing was stunned: "Teacher Wang broke his leg last year and went back to town and never came back. Grandpa, did you remember it wrong...Teacher Li's birthday is not today either."
Qu Orion's smile faltered and he was stunned for a long time, as if he was trying hard to remember but was unable to do so. He could only smile to cover up: "Oh, yes, grandpa remembered it wrong. He wrote Teacher Wang's birthday as Teacher Li's."
"I'm old, I'm so confused."
Qu Jing looked at Qu Orion quietly: "Grandpa, are you okay?"
"I found that you have been forgetting things easily since the beginning of the year. How about we go to the hospital in the provincial capital to have a look."
Qu Orion waved his hand: "No, no, memory is bad when you get older. Many people start forgetting things when they are 47 or 88. I only started forgetting when I was over 50, so it's normal."
Qu Jing was a little hesitant and looked at Qu Orionhu uncertainly for a few times. Seeing that his expression was normal, she still chose to believe it and went to school with her schoolbag on her back.
