Wan Lin and the other two walked into the dim bamboo building and saw that the building was built with bamboo unique to the mountains. The thick bamboo and bamboo slices were cleverly combined to form this bamboo with rich regional architectural characteristics.
The building, but it is obvious that this bamboo building has been in disrepair for a long time, with cracks distributed on the mottled bamboo sheets.
The first floor of this bamboo house is the owner's living area. There are a large pile of bamboo shoots piled up in one corner of the house, and there are some shredded bamboo shoots on the ground next to it. A low small bamboo table next to it, placed next to it.
Two small bamboo chairs, one of the legs of a chair had been broken, and a blue stone was placed underneath. Two large broken bowls were placed on the table, and there was a hint of heat inside.
"Sit down quickly", the girl's mother greeted the guest and walked to the table, then looked at the bamboo chair with one leg folded, turned her head and shouted to the girl, "Come on two bamboo stools quickly," and said, "Come on, bringing the better one
The bamboo chair was moved to the old man and asked the old man to sit down, then turned around and made tea.
The girl brought two low bamboo stools behind Wan Lin and Xiaoya, and pulled them to sit down. The three of them sat at the small table and looked at the table, and saw that the two steaming bowls were in the steaming bowls.
There were two bowls of porridge, with clear soup and a dozen rice grains and bamboo shoots floating on it, and you could almost see the bottom of the bowl.
The girl's mother walked back with a teapot and saw the three of them staring at the table. She quickly bent down and put the teapot and tea cup on the small bamboo table, poured tea for the three of them and put it in front of the three of them...
She then took two bowls of porridge to the side, lowered her voice and said to the girl: "Xiaolan, the guest hasn't eaten yet, right? Hurry up and go to Uncle Wang's house to borrow some rice." The girl looked at her mother's hand with a dull look in her face.
The porridge suddenly turned red, and he turned around and walked out the door.
The girl's mother's voice was very low, but the voice had clearly reached the ears of Xiaoya and Wan Lin, who had internal strength. The two stood up "jumping" and Xiaoya grabbed her and walked out the door.
The girl said, "We are not hungry, we will go back to the town to eat later." As she said that, she turned her face and looked at Wan Lin. Wan Lin nodded, turned around without saying a word and walked out the door.
At this time, grandpa looked at the girl's house with a bare wall, then looked at the girl's mother with a haggard face, gently shook her gray head, then looked at the bamboo staircase leading to the second floor and said, "Don't be polite,
We are just here to see the patient and see if we can help? Let's go up and take a look now." He said, looking at the girl.
The girl's eyes flashed with excitement and said quickly: "My father has been in bed for several months. I'll take you up. Mom, you can clean up the house first." As she said that, she walked to my grandfather and helped the old man.
Grandpa smiled and waved his hand, got up and stood up, and walked towards the second floor. As soon as the old man stepped onto the stairs, a "squeak" sound came from under his feet.
"Grandpa, be careful! This bamboo building should be built long ago. Before my father was injured, he said he would build a new building. The bamboo was ready. But after my father was injured, all the money he had saved was spent in the hospital and he borrowed a lot of money.
The money from relatives and neighbors” the girl whispered, while reaching out to hold her arm behind her, her eyes suddenly turned red.
The old man turned around and grabbed the girl's little hand and patted her, whispering: "Child, don't cry, your father will stand up!" He said, and walked upstairs in two steps.
The stairs that were originally squeaking suddenly came down quietly. The girl stood on the stairs and looked at her tall grandfather in shock. She saw that he seemed to be walking up the broken old stairs without touching the ground.
There was no more noise.
Xiaoya followed her grandfather and the girl to the second floor and immediately saw a thin man lying on his back on a shabby bamboo lounge chair near the window, with one of his legs covered with yellowed bandages.
, two godless eyes were staring at themselves and grandpa in surprise.
The girl ran to the man like a cheerful rabbit and said excitedly: "Dad, I'll bring you a doctor!" Then she turned her head and said to grandpa and Xiaoya, "This is my dad."
The man lay limply on the recliner, and a ray of light suddenly flashed in his desperate eyes. He stared straight at the old man, his lips trembled twice and closed again, and his arms slowly raised to express his gratitude.
Grandpa strided to him and said, "Don't move, let me see first." The man's eyes flashed with gratitude, shook his head with a strong accent, and said in a faint tone: "Thank you, forget it,
It can't be cured." A look of despair flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at his daughter's black and thin face suddenly turned red, full of love and guilt.
The girl's eyes suddenly turned red. I knew that my father was feeling sorry for her. Tears immediately slid down from the corner of her eyes. She squatted beside her father and pulled his arm with a sob and said, "Dad, Dad, you will definitely get better. Grandpa said, you must
I will stand up again!" As he said, tears pouring out like a flood that opened the gate.
Grandpa bent down and grabbed the man's left hand and squatted down. The girl quickly ran to the side to get two small bamboo stools for Xiaoya and grandpa to sit down.
Grandpa looked at the man's thin and dark face intently, frowned slightly, turned his head and said to Xiaoya, "Look at the trauma on his legs." As he said that, his fingers were placed on her wrist and he focused his pulse.
Xiaoya put the first aid kit on her back to the ground, reached out and untie the yellow bandage wrapped around the man's legs, and said in her heart: "It seems that this bandage has been used for countless times, it must have been washed.
They used it and washed it again and it seemed that they had been dragged down and could not even afford bandages."
She thought of this and looked up at the window, and found that several washed bandages were drying on a bamboo pole across the window, all of which turned yellow.
The girl saw Xiaoya looking out the window, her eyes whispered: "Bandages are too expensive, we can only replace them and wash them before using them, but my mother always disinfects them with hot water."
"Xiaolan, is your small hotel business not good?" Xiaoya changed her hand and asked in a low voice. The girl shook her head helplessly and replied: "We are too remote here, and few outsiders come here.
It was only these days that it suddenly became lively and there was no business at all. Now my family just relied on my mother to collect some mountain goods. After a while, I walked to the village dozens of kilometers away and sold some money back." As he said, he pointed to the hillside outside the window.
A few bamboo shoots dried on bamboo mats,
Xiaoya nodded silently, focused on removing the last layer of bandage on the man's right calf, and an unpleasant smell came to her nose.
Xiaoya's heart trembled, knowing that the other party's wound must have been infected, and the innermost layer of gauze was already covered with red and yellow liquid.
