One day in October of the year 978, he walked in from outside Xiang.
Dr. Xiao said," Congratulations, Teacher Zhu. It's a fat kid." Ms. Zhu chuckled and walked over with the baby in her arms. She walked into the room and said to the woman on the bed with a smile," Wifey, look, our son is finally born. Haha, thank the heavens!" The woman on the bed immediately revealed a tired smile from giving birth." Let me see if he looks like you or me."
"Siqi, be careful. Don't run around."
" I know, Mom," a child of about three years old replied.
It was 1998. Our protagonist is also three years old, but the past three years have not been very smooth. Less than three months after she was born, her whole body was covered with small red bags, making the whole family anxious. His mother carried him everywhere to seek medical treatment. She had seen many hospitals nearby, barefoot doctors, and wandering doctors. He had to apply herbal medicine every day. At that time, he almost thought that he wouldn't be able to raise it, but the little life was very tenacious and finally survived.
She was already three years old now, and her illness was gone. She was just very naughty and a big troublemaker. She ran around everywhere every day, following behind other people's butts and thighs as a small soldier. As long as there was something to play with, she would not let it go. Usually, there was no one to be found during mealtime.
Speaking of which, let's get to know this family! The male owner of the house was called Zhu Kun. He was a private teacher in a nearby school. He had taught for more than ten years, and the villagers called him Teacher Zhu. The hostess was a genuine farmer's woman. Apart from being busy with farm work in the fields all year round, she would also rush to the market to buy some daily necessities. She basically did not visit her house usually. She was recognized as a good wife and mother in the village.
They had three children. The eldest daughter was already o years old this year and was called Zhu Qi. The second daughter was seven years old this year and was called Zhu Mei. The third daughter was the protagonist, Zhu Siqi, who was three years old this year. In 978, the country began to implement family planning. Because he had three children, Mr. Zhu could no longer be a private teacher if he had another child. Therefore, Zhu Siqi could only be the youngest at home.
The family's standard of living in the village could only be considered as waiting. There were a few acres of land, and because Zhu Kun could still get a salary, it was still considered passable.
The days went by like this. If it weren't for an accident!
"Siqi, go play." The one who spoke was a five or six-year-old boy. It was Zhu Siqi's cousin. "Let's go, Brother Tai." Zhu Siqi ran out as soon as he heard someone calling him.
" Come back early for dinner," his mother called out from behind. "I know."
Back then, there was no kindergarten in the mountain village. There was only one pre-school class. Usually, only six-year-olds were allowed to attend. The children in the village did not have many entertainment venues. They just wandered around every day. Children were naturally curious about everything. He could even play with a stone with relish.
"Where are we going?"
" Let's go to the back of the mountain." They were talking about a small hill near the small village. They didn't have many places to play. There was a railway near the village and a small station five or six miles away. There was a small mountain behind the village. It was only a few dozen meters tall, but it was considered high above sea level here. Usually, they would either play with stones by the railway or climb trees, play hide-and-seek, and learn how to fight from the People's Liberation Army. Today, a few children came to the mountain together. "How do we play today?" When Little Siqi saw the crowd, he shouted," How about hide-and-seek?”Some people said that it didn't matter what they played as long as they could play. " Alright." It was fine as long as no one objected. Next, they had to appoint a person to look for them. Usually, one person would look for them while the others would hide. If they found all of them, they would win.
The old rules, rock, paper, scissors!
" Alright." Everyone had no objections. Scissors, haha! Zhu Daibiao, you're looking for me again today! Come, let me blindfold you.
Begin! After the order was given, everyone began to search for a secret place in a hurry.
Actually, there weren't many hiding places. They were usually on trees, in small holes, behind rocks, in pits, in the bushes, and so on. Zhu Siqi also ran away when he heard that it had started. He was small and couldn't climb a tree. This time, his target was a big bush. He immediately went in and held his breath.
At this moment, Zhu Daibiao pulled off his handkerchief and started to look for his prey. Because he had played more times, he found two at once. After a while, they walked towards the bushes where Zhu Siqi was hiding. Little Si Qi saw him approaching him step by step, and his heart tightened. He almost couldn't breathe. Because the bushes were not small, Zhu Daibiao ran away after checking that there was no one around. Little Si Qi secretly let out a sigh of relief." Let's see how you're going to find me. Squat inside and don't move."
Heavens! A centipede crawled along his feet. Ordinary centipedes were green or black, but this one was red. Little Siqi's feet were blocking its entrance. The red centipede crawled over the little Siqi's instep. Seeing that it was blocked, it turned around and crawled over from the right side. It was also blocked. This time, the centipede was probably " angry ". Under normal circumstances, centipedes would not take the initiative to bite people. At this time, it had no way to go home. It bit the little Siqi's instep. Little Siqi felt pain in his feet.
He had to endure it and not be found. The child had a strong desire to win. He casually picked up a branch and pushed the damn centipede away. He didn't feel much pain anymore. Ignorance was fearlessness. He didn't feel anything at all. It was as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. He casually took some grass and wiped it away.
After a while, Zhu Daibiao also found a few people, but he couldn't find another two or three. He could only shout in the open space,"Alright, alright, I can't find them. Come out, you admit defeat." Hearing this, Little Si Qi immediately ran out of the thicket. He was so happy. He hadn't won for a long time. If he hadn't run into a big thicket today, he might have been found out long ago. At this moment, all the children came out.
"That's all for today. Let's just go home."
The children dispersed in excitement and went down the mountain to return to the village.
night
"Mom, my feet hurt!" At this moment, little Siqi felt that something was wrong with his feet, so he said to his mother.
"Let me see. Ah, my feet are swollen. What's going on? Little San!" Because he was the third oldest in the family, his parents usually called him that.
"When I was playing in the afternoon, I think a centipede bit my foot. At that time, it didn't hurt much, so I thought it was fine.”Little Si Qi said with a sobbing tone.
His mother immediately put down what she was doing and carried Little Siqi to Dr. Murakami.
"Doctor Xiao, is Mo's foot okay?”
" It's nothing serious. Just apply some anti-inflammatory medicine and give me another injection. I'll be fine tomorrow." Doctor Xiao thought that she was just bitten by an ordinary centipede.
" That's good, that's good," Si Qi's mother said.
"You have to be careful in the future. Don't go to the mountains to play, understand?”his mother said.
"Got it," Little Three replied casually, thinking in his heart: It was impossible not to go up the mountain. Once his feet recovered, he would still go.
Doctor Xiao disinfected the back of Little Siqi's foot, applied the medicine, and prepared the medicine. He was ready for the injection.
"Mom, the injection hurts. Can you not do it? I'm afraid of pain "
"You can't not hit me, your leg won't recover either. Little San, you're smart, I heard that you're so young now and can do math, right? Doctor Xiao added and changed the topic.
"Yes, I can recite the multiplication table now. I can also count from one to a hundred and use an abacus. "One on one, two on two, three on five to two, four on six to one, five on five, six on one to five to one, seven on seven, eight on two to one, nine on one to ten." Si Qi kept talking about this. His father, Zhu Kun, was a math teacher, so he seemed to have inherited his father's knowledge. Si Qi was very interested in math and was very good at it. It was already good enough for a child of his age to count from one to ten, let alone other multiplication and abacus.
"Alright then, don't cry even if it's an injection. Little San is so brave!”Doctor Xiao was very good at grasping children's psychology. After all, he had been a barefoot doctor for more than twenty years.
" I won't cry." The little Siqi was not afraid of pain after hearing the praise.
After the injection, his mother carried Little Si Qi home. However, the next morning, not only did the swelling not go down, but it also became bigger. The pain was unbearable. When her mother saw this, she immediately carried her back to Doctor Xiao. Doctor Xiao took a look and realized that something was wrong. The swelling should have subsided in one night!
" Mo, was it really a centipede that bit your foot?" Doctor Xiao asked Little Si Qi, afraid that he might have seen wrongly.
" Yes, Doctor Xiao, but this centipede is red," Little Siqi replied." Red? I've never heard of a red centipede."
" Third Brother's mother, where's Teacher Zhu? I think we should go to Zhenxin Hospital or the county's People's Hospital for a check."
The mistress's mother was anxious when she heard this." Old Zhu has been staying in school during this period of time. Because the graduation exam is coming soon, he doesn't have time to go home. He's focused on helping the students with their homework. I'll go to school and call him back now."”
In the afternoon, Kun Zhu brought his son to the People's Hospital. The doctor had never heard of the red centipede before. He only received a normal injection to prevent centipedes from coming back.
Once he reached home, his neighbors came to ask about the situation. Once they heard about it, they all helped to give ideas. If there was any folk prescription or if they heard that there was a person who specialized in treating centipedes, they all came to tell Zhu Kun. However, because he had also studied a little about this matter, he had to go to a big hospital, but he was still very grateful.
At this moment, a voice came from the door.”
