"I see," Song Ruiping said.
"Thank you," Su Xiaoxue said. "I'll go back now."
"Did you come by yourself?"
Song Ruiping asked. "A driver is waiting outside," Song Ruiping said.
"OK, drive safe," Song Ruiping said.
The pregnant woman got up and walked out slowly.
"Sigh, this child!" Song Ruiping sighed.
"Ma 'am, her health doesn't allow her to have children, right?" Chu Lian asked softly.
"Yes, her health is very poor," Song Ruiping said. "Her heart is not good, and she has had two miscarriages. She has seen many doctors, and they all advised her not to have children. Now she is pregnant again. Look at her face."
"Is Xiaoxue still in Lianshan?"
Song Ruiping asked.
"I'll give her a call. It would be best if Wang Yao could come. It's not easy for her to get pregnant. It would be best if she could keep the baby," Song Ruiping said. After that, she called her daughter.
"OK, I got it, Mom." After hanging up, Su Xiaoxue told Wang Yao about the woman's situation.
"Her health is poor, and her heart is not good?"
Song Ruiping asked. "Yes, I remember hearing from my mother that my cousin seems to have congenital heart disease. She has had two major operations, so her health is very poor." Su Xiaoxue's impression of her cousin was that she had been sick since she was a child.
"I see. When are you going back? I'll go with you," Wang Yao said.
"OK," Su Xiaoxue said.
Thousands of miles away, in the north, the wind was strong and sand was flying.
There was a famous cave Buddha statue there. Every year, there was an endless stream of tourists. There was smoke rising from the desert. It looked very magnificent, but the climate was very bad. It was windy, sandy, and dry. It was fine for tourists to stay for a day or two. If they wanted to live there for a long time, many people would not choose to stay there.
On this day, at dusk, a person came to the county town. It was a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap. His face was slightly dark.
In an ordinary residential area.
He came to the door of a house and rang the doorbell.
"Who is it?" A man's hoarse voice came from inside. Kacha, the door opened, but it wasn't completely open, only revealing a slit. Through the slit, a dark and narrow face could be seen. His eyes were slightly yellow, and his eyebrows were broom-like.
"Are you really here?"
"It's you?"
When the man in the house saw the person standing outside the door, he was shocked. After hesitating for a moment, he opened the door and let the man in.
After entering the house, the man took off his hat and looked around the room. It was not a big room, less than a square meter. There were two bedrooms and one living room. The furnishings were very simple and even a little old. There was a special smell in the room, the smell of Chinese medicine.
"The house isn't big?"
"It's enough for one person," the owner of the house said.
He didn't make any tea. Instead, he poured a glass of water for the customer.
"I thought you were dead!"
"I also thought that I would die, but the heavens didn't accept me and I came back to life." The middle-aged man drank a mouthful of water.
"This water doesn't taste that good!"
"The mineral content is higher, so it's a bit hard."
"Why did you choose such a place? The weather is not good and the location is remote," the middle-aged man said.
"I like this kind of weather. You know, I have some problems with my body. The weather here is just nice to alleviate it," the master said.
"Still not done?"
"I can't get better. I'll just drag it on like this and live one day at a time."
"Look at what this is!" The middle-aged man took out a small vacuum-packed plastic bag from the package he carried with him. There was a flower in it, which was as bright as blood.
"This is the Blood Orchid!" The owner of the house stood up after seeing the flower.
"This … Does it really exist?"
"Take a look."
The owner of the house carefully opened the bag. He smelled it first, then tore off a piece and put it into his mouth. He chewed carefully for a while before swallowing it.
After a long time, he sighed and calmed down. "Good stuff, good stuff!"
"Where did you find it?"
"In a secret place in southern Yunnan," the middle-aged man said.
"You can live until now because of this flower, right?"
"Yes, it's all thanks to it," the middle-aged man said.
"Your face is dim and pale, which means that the toxins in your body have not been completely removed," the middle-aged man said. "This flower can save your life for a while, but it may not be able to save your life!"
"Not necessarily," the middle-aged man said. "I don't think I have any problems."
"Oh?"
"Take a look." The middle-aged man stretched out his hand.
The owner of the house reached out and put his hand on his wrist. After a while, he moved his hand away.
"Incredible!"
"This poison has become a part of your body," the owner of the house exclaimed. "Not only is it harmless, but it is also beneficial."
"I have tried," the middle-aged man said. "Those poisonous insects and toxins have no effect on me. I am now immune to all poisons."
"Ha-ha, you are now a poisonous person," the owner of the house said. "If something bites you, I am afraid it will be poisoned to death. Cough, cough, cough."
"I only brought this much." The middle-aged man took out a box from the package he carried with him and put it on the table. He opened the lid and saw more than a dozen Blood Orchids preserved in ice.
The owner of the house stared at the dozen flowers and was silent for a while before asking, "What do you want to do?"
He had come all the way here with such precious things. It was definitely not as simple as visiting an old friend. Moreover, they were not friends at all. They were just using each other.
"The wind and sand here are too strong," the middle-aged man said. "Let's move to another place."
The middle-aged man with a dark face stared at him.
"I am tired," the middle-aged man said. "I don't want to run anymore."
The middle-aged man looked around the room again.
"Don't you want to take revenge for what happened back then?"
"How can you take revenge?" the middle-aged man asked. "You are just a poisonous person now," the middle-aged man said. "Can you fight them? Not to mention anything else, that person can easily kill the two of us with just one finger."
"Don't worry," the middle-aged man said. "Think about it again."
"Take this with you." The owner of the house pushed the box back on the table.
"Keep it for drinking," the middle-aged man said. "It tastes good."
He got up and left without looking back.
The wind outside was still very strong.
In the house, the dark-faced man stared at the Blood Orchids on the table.
"Tsk, really, I almost agreed!"
Whoosh! There was a gust of wind outside. It seemed that sand and stones were hitting the glass, making a crisp sound.
"He doesn't want to leave here!"
The middle-aged man went downstairs with a baseball cap. He looked up again and saw the man behind the glass of the house upstairs looking at him.
A gust of wind rolled up the dust and sand.
"Think about it carefully." He turned and left. His back was very lonely.
He was alone, like a lone wolf.
Thousands of miles away in Lianshan County, the sky was very blue, and the air was very good.
"Why? Are you going out again?"
"Yes, Xiaoxue is back in Jing," the middle-aged man said. "I will take her back and see a patient."
"Well, spend more time with Xiaoxue," Wang Yao said. "You don't have to rush back." Zhang Xiuying said with a smile. Now that her daughter was married, one of her worries could be considered settled. Now, she was looking forward to her son getting married as soon as possible so that she could have grandchildren as soon as possible.
"You don't have to worry about things at home. Your father and I are here."
"Well, OK."
After Du Mingyang took Wang Ru home to visit his parents, Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue went to Jing together.
It was already afternoon when they got off the plane.
"I am so hungry," Su Xiaoxue said. "Let's find a place to eat."
"OK."
"Let's go," Wang Yao said. "I will take you to a place."
The two of them took a taxi to an old courtyard house. There was no sign. After entering, they found that it was a different world. Some of the old courtyards were very simple and unadorned. It was an authentic private home cuisine.
There were several special dishes and a pot of wine.
"I know you don't like to drink, but this is their home-brewed rice wine. I heard it is very good. Would you like to try it?"
"OK, I will try it," Wang Yao said with a smile.
The wine was sweet and had a low alcohol content. Girls should like it very much. For example, Su Xiaoxue also poured herself a glass. After drinking two sips, her pretty face was flushed.
"Is it good?"
"Well, it is very good."
After dinner, the two of them took a leisurely stroll along the old alleyway.
