Our family has been practicing medicine for generations, and since I was a child, I have been learning medical skills from my father to treat diseases and save people.
But I never expected that the accident that happened when I collected medicine changed my life......
That day, I went up the mountain alone to collect medicine, and my father and mother told me that there were wild beasts on the mountain and that I should not go alone, but I was young and vigorous and did not care.
While collecting medicine, I pondered a new way to treat bruises.
Gradually, I walked farther and farther, and before I knew it, I came to the edge of a small cliff.
Suddenly, my feet slipped, and I was about to fall off the cliff!
Finished! It's a dead deal! The thought crossed my mind, and I regretted that I hadn't listened to my father.
I was about to fall into the abyss, but at that moment, a hand suddenly grabbed me!
I looked back and saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old holding me with all her might.
She looked demented, drooling and smiling at me stupidly.
"Big... Big brother, don't be afraid, I'll pull you up. ”
She stammered, her voice a little timid, but the temperature of her palm made me feel extremely grounded.
The girl tried her best to nurture me and dragged me back to the cliff.
At this time, I still had palpitations, panting heavily, and cold sweat flowing.
The girl stared at me blankly, tilting her head, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, she suddenly spoke: "Big brother, are you hungry?" I'll pick some wild fruit for you to eat. ”
Without waiting for my answer, she climbed a tall wild fruit tree with her hands and feet.
Her climbing movements, though not very flexible, are unusually serious.
Soon, she picked a basket full of wild fruits, handed them to me, and did not forget to smirk and say, "Eat it, sweet!" ”
I took the fruit basket and stuffed the wild fruits into my mouth one by one, and the sweet and sour taste will never be forgotten in my life.
I gobbled it up as I looked at the girl in front of me.
She was dressed in a white-washed blue dress, with a few gray spots on her face, and her hair was as unkempt as a bird's nest.
But her eyes are like two clear springs, clear to the bottom, without any impurities.
My heart suddenly pounded, very strange, it was she who saved me, why did I feel that my heart was hit by her all at once?
"What's your name, girl?" I put down the fruit basket and asked softly.
"I... My name is Plum Blossom. She replied timidly, her voice soft, like a kitten's paw scratching at my heart.
That's how I met Meihua.
That day, I didn't have much money with me, so I cut off a piece of jade pendant and gave it to her in return.
Meihua carefully took the jade pendant, and the smirk on her face became even brighter.
She blinked her eyes wide and said innocently, "Big brother, you're so good, I... I've never received something so good. ”
Looking at her silly smile, my nose ached and I almost burst into tears.
At that moment, I secretly swore that I would repay this kind girl!
Ever since that encounter, the figure of plum blossoms has often appeared in my mind.
Since then, I have taken it as a daily routine to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and I can always meet the figure who often smirks on the tree inadvertently.
And every time I see her, I will carefully hide the throbbing in my heart, pretending to ask casually: "Meihua, how are you doing today?" ”
When I got home that day, I plucked up the courage to ask my mother about Meihua.
After listening to my story, my mother's expression was solemn, and she was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke.
"Poor girl. She was not very intelligent since she was a child, she could only speak at the age of five and learn to dress at the age of ten. ”
The mother sighed, and then said, "Her father and mother thought she was a burden, so they threw her in the ravine, and it was her grandmother who picked her up and pulled her up with a handful of and urine. ”
After listening to my mother's words, my heart hurt like a knife.
Meihua, such a simple and kind girl, has suffered such unfair treatment!
I secretly vowed that I must treat her well in the future and never let her suffer the slightest grievance!
After that, I used the excuse of going up to the mountains to collect medicine and frequently visited the plum blossoms.
Although Meihua is stupid, she really feels good about me.
She always expressed her joy in the most simple way: plucking a wild flower and pinning it to the hem of my clothes, and bringing a bowl of puree made of wild fruits to my mouth.
And under her influence, I became more and more patient and loving.
I taught her how to read, told her stories from medical books, and ran and frolicked in the mountains.
Watching Meihua become more cheerful and lively day by day, I suddenly realized that I had already fallen in love with her.
I made up my mind to marry Meihua and give her a real home.
But when I mentioned it to my mother, she was furious.
"Bastard! If you marry a fool who can't even take care of yourself, how will you run a family in the future? How to pass on the lineage? You're going to me off! ”
The mother scolded and threw the bowl, and she was about to faint.
I hurriedly hugged my mother and said distressedly, "Mother, I know that you are for my good." But in my life, I won't marry if it's not a plum blossom! Even if she's stupid, I'll take care of her for the rest of my life! ”
"You! You unfilial son! Mother, I hurt you in vain! My mother cried and pushed me away, went back to her room in a rage, and slammed the door shut.
I knelt outside my mother's room and begged her for three days and three nights.
On the morning of the third day, my mother finally opened the door and looked at me tiredly, tears streaming down her face.
"That's it, I can't stop you, if you insist on marrying her, I can only go with you."
The mother waved her hand helplessly, turned around and went back to the house.
I knew that my mother had acquiesced to my decision.
Although I didn't get my mother's blessing in my marriage, I have nothing more to ask for to marry a plum blossom.
I wiped away my tears and swore to God that I must give Meihua a happy family and live up to this silly girl's infatuation with me.
Soon Meihua and I had a simple wedding in the mountains.
Although there is no testimony of relatives and friends, there is no noisy bustle of gongs and drums, but the eyes we gaze at each other are more sincere and firm than any mountain alliance and sea vow.
"Meihua, I will be your reliance from now on, silly girl, I will spend my life to love you and love you!"
I hugged Plum Blossom tightly and whispered promise in her ear.
The plum blossoms clutched the hem of my clothes, and tears flowed down their eyes.
The villagers talked and pointed fingers at me behind my back, saying that I had married a fool, and that I must be a stupid boy who had committed a nymphomaniac.
"Just her stupidity, she can't give birth yet, this kid is really brainless!"
"That's right, this old Li family is going to be the last one, how can he let his son marry a woman who can't have children?"
Ever since we got married, I've been able to hear this kind of disapproval.
But I didn't care, because I knew in my heart that there was no more suitable woman for me in this world than plum blossoms.
In my eyes, although the plum blossom is stupid, it is kind-hearted and affectionate.
As long as we have love, what does it matter if we are stupid or not?
I made up my mind that I must find a cure for the stupidity of plum blossoms, even if I go bankrupt!
Since then, I have been studying medicine without sleep or food, looking for a cure.
I collected precious medicinal herbs and visited famous doctors, just to find a good cure for plum blossoms.
Finally, one day, under the guidance of a 100-year-old Chinese medicine doctor, I refined a miraculous medicine.
I carefully fed the medicine to Meihua and stayed by her side every step of the way.
One day, two days, three days have passed, and the plum blossoms are still the same, stupid and stupid.
Just when I was discouraged, a miracle happened!
On the morning of the seventh day, when Meihua woke up, her eyes suddenly became clear and bright!
"Xianggong, I... What's wrong with me? How do you feel that your brain is so much clearer all of a sudden? ”
Plum Blossom rubbed her eyes and asked incredulously.
I held Meihua's hand tightly and cried with joy: "Meihua, your stupid illness is cured!" God has eyes, finally let you get back to normal! ”
The news spread quickly, and the whole village knew that the stupid daughter-in-law of the Xiao Li family had suddenly become smarter!
Everyone came to the door to say goodbye, praised me for being affectionate and righteous, and praised the plum blossoms for being virtuous and pure.
Those who used to laugh at us were also embarrassed to smile and say that everything was a misunderstanding.
In this process, I also found that the reason why Meihua has symptoms of infertility is because of her malnutrition since childhood, resulting in uterine damage, which is not a symptom of infertility.
I was very excited with Plum Blossom, and then I was inseparable from Plum Blossom and cooperated tacitly.
She is not only my good helper, but also my right-hand man.
We collect medicine together, see doctors together, and use our medical skills to relieve the pain of the villagers.
Once, a magnificent sedan chair suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, attracting everyone's attention.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes stepped out of the sedan chair with a sad face.
He inquired all the way and found our Li Family Hospital.
"Doctor Li, is Doctor Li here?"
The man looked anxious and rushed into the house.
"In, in, I am, I don't know what your Excellency is doing?"
I hurriedly stepped forward, and when I saw that he was a talented person and behaved extraordinarily, I secretly speculated in my heart.
It turned out that this distinguished guest's surname was Wang, and he was a wealthy merchant from a neighboring village.
His wife has been ill for a long time, and she has not recovered for many years, and she has sought famous doctors, but she has returned in vain.
Now that his wife is terminally ill and he has no way out, he asked to come to the hospital in our small village.
"Dr. Li, my wife's illness is really difficult. You're a small village, I'm afraid you're ......."
Master Wang's face was embarrassed, and his words were full of suspicion.
I was about to speak, but Plum Blossom took the first step forward and said:
"Master Wang, please wait, let me check the pulse, maybe I can find a good cure."
Although the plum blossom has been cured, after all, she was once stupid, and her words and actions are still a little different from ordinary people.
Old Man Wang looked at the plum blossom suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded reluctantly.
Meihua came to the inner room to check the pulse of the unconscious Mrs. Wang, thinking while diagnosing, frowning.
After a while, Meihua walked out of the inner room and said to Master Wang:
"Mrs. Wang's symptoms are suspected of Baicao Dan poisoning, which is a commonly used inferior medicine in the market, and it is falsely claimed to cure all diseases, but in fact it is harmful to the heart.
I am afraid that Mrs. Wang has taken such fake drugs on weekdays, and the poison has accumulated deeply, so that the disease will not be cured. ”
Master Wang was shocked when he heard this, and remembered that his wife's condition had deteriorated rapidly after taking a Jianghu Lang's medicine.
He nodded again and again, urging the plum blossom to have a good antidote to the poison.
Plum blossom pondered for a moment, picked up the pen, and quickly prescribed a prescription.
"This prescription is made of exquisite materials, it is not easy to refine, I need to do it myself, please be patient with Master Wang, Mrs. will get better within three days after taking this medicine."
Meihua smiled slightly, and her tone was unwavering.
Although Master Wang still had doubts, he could only bite the bullet, holding the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, grabbed the medicine and left.
Three days later, the palanquin man of the Wang family came in a hurry and said that Mrs. Wang's illness had miraculously improved!
Mr. Wang praised our husband and wife and insisted on rewarding us with a lot of money.
We politely declined, saying only that it is the duty of a doctor to save people, so there is no need to talk about any reward.
The news of Mrs. Wang's recovery spread all over the country.
Since then, there has been an endless stream of people who come to seek medical advice, and the reputation of our Li Family Medical Center has also been greatly enhanced.
The villagers who used to laugh at me for marrying a stupid daughter-in-law now come together to apologize and make amends.
Gradually, the Li Family Medical Center became famous, and there was an endless stream of people who came to seek medical advice.
People in the village say that the love between the husband and wife of the Xiao Li family is a match made in heaven.
used to be a stupid daughter-in-law, but now she has become a well-known girl.
And I have grown from a stunned young man who is ignorant of the world to a mature and stable husband.
In the dead of night, I always think of the cynicism of the villagers when I first married Meihua.
At that time, I was only lonely and full of tenderness, but I didn't know the way forward.
It is the infatuation and kindness of plum blossoms that give me strength, let me regain hope, and light up my life.
If you ask me what is true love in this world?
Maybe it's just like me and Meihua, sharing weal and woe, and we're in the same boat through thick and thin.
