Chapter 69 Miracle Doctor
Xiang Chu's performance was perfect and Ning Xiaoquan was very satisfied.
He ordered, "Xiao Xiang! Go to Xikou Town and visit Grandma Caiwei's house."
Jiang Mei said with some sadness: "My parents are gone, and I can only look after my brother."
"Since you're here, there's no harm in taking a look."
Ning Xiaoquan patted her hands and comforted her.
This is why I feel more timid when I am close to home!
Also, she was worried that her brother would propose "in-law marriage" again and let Caiwei marry her incompetent cousin.
Ning Caiwei didn't want to go anymore, and said anxiously:
"Dad! Mom! When we get to Xikou Town, I won't go to my uncle's house. I will go to Xiangjia Village with Xiang Chu."
"That's okay! That's okay!"
Jiang Mei said hurriedly.
Ning Xiaoquan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! But Xiao Xiang had better wear a military uniform."
"Understood! Thank you, Dad."
How could Xiang Chu not know that he was afraid of being exposed, so he drove quickly and arrived at Xikou Town in a short time.
Xikou Town is quite prosperous. Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei bought some gifts from the shops on the street.
When driving past a large household, I saw many people lining up to visit with gifts.
Xiang Chu saw that the river water was clear and the current was very fast, and it was indeed a place with good feng shui.
Jiang Mei pointed to the right side of the street and said, "Xiao Xiang! It's the house with white walls and black tiles on the side of the street."
“It’s quite impressive!”
Xiang Chu smiled and quickly pulled the car over and stopped in front of the door.
Ning Xiaoquan and Jiang Mei got out of the car, and Xiang Chu delivered the gifts to the door.
Before the owner came out, he and Ning Caiwei drove away.
Ning Caiwei drove very fast. After leaving Xikou Town, she remembered that she had not bought any gifts. She smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chu! All the gifts are used up. What are you going to give to the tribe members?"
“Give me money!”
Xiang Chu smiled, patted his pocket, and said domineeringly,
"I give out 100 French francs to everyone I meet, and I go to the ancestral hall to give the clan leader a gold bar and two small yellow croakers. I learned this from my father."
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "I think this will work!"
Xiang Chu said with a sense of relief: "Caiwei! After entering the Ning family's ancestral hall and paying respects to the ancestral tomb, I am now a sure bet that I will be the Ning family's son-in-law."
Ning Caiwei asked in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Think about it! My father allowed me to worship him because he has chosen me as his son-in-law. Otherwise, he would be letting down our ancestors. Haha!"
Ning Caiwei said angrily, "You look so beautiful, hurry up and change into your military uniform, we'll be there soon."
Indeed, the town is not big, the villages are close to each other, and it is easy to drive there.
Xiang Chu changed into a neat military uniform and then drove the car to the front of the ancestral hall.
Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, many tribesmen are here to worship their ancestors.
The arrival of the brand new white Buick attracted everyone's attention.
Unmarried women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, so Ning Caiwei stayed in the car.
Xiang Chu got off the car alone and walked towards the Xiang clan leader with bare hands.
Xiang Chu shouted, "Uncle! Are you okay?"
"Chu'er! Are you back?"
The clan leader burst into tears.
This is the time when thousands of families reunite, but Xiang Chu is the only one left in his family.
Many tribesmen also cried.
"Dear ones! Don't cry. Come! One for each of you."
Xiang Chu shouted with a choked voice, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed one into each person's hand.
As a result, the person who received the hundred-dollar bill cried even harder.
Xiang Chu didn't care about much else. He walked into the dilapidated ancestral hall with his head held high, burned incense and worshiped.
Finally, he took out a large gold bar and two small gold bars, put them into the patriarch's hand and said:
"Uncle! Use this money to repair the ancestral hall and the ancestral tomb."
"So much money? Chu'er, grandpa thanks you on behalf of the clan."
The clan leader was so excited that he almost knelt down to express his gratitude to Xiang Chu.
He had always dreamed of repairing this dilapidated ancestral hall, but the land in Xikou was barren and most of the tribesmen were poor. Today, Xiang Chu took out so much money and finally fulfilled his wish.
This patriarch was able to accomplish something great, so his position was not in vain.
To return the favor, he took Xiang Chu's hand and said solemnly:
"Chu'er! I don't have any other abilities, but Madam Wang is my relative. I will definitely say a few good words for you and help you succeed in the army. This will also bring honor to our Xiang family."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Xiang Chu was filled with gratitude, looked towards home and said,
"I'm going to see my father, mother, and sister."
"Go! Good boy! Woohoo!"
The patriarch burst into tears when he thought of this tragic family.
Xiang Chu got in the car and Ning Caiwei drove to Xiang Yue's home.
The tribesmen stood quietly, silently looking in the direction the car left.
The three thatched huts of Xiang Yue's family were already in ruins.
Vines have grown into the main room, and rats and birds are flocking around.
There is a joint tomb and a solitary tomb in the vegetable garden below.
No one has worshipped at the grave for a long time, and it is now covered with dead grass.
Xiang Chu removed the weeds, burned incense and worshipped, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart:
"After a long time, I feel like you have become my family."
"Sister Yue! Xiang Chu and I are here to see you. Woohoo!"
Ning Caiwei cried and cried like a tearful person.
"Let's go Caiwei!"
Xiang Chu pulled her into the car and drove away slowly.
The children ran after the car, laughing.
I ran a long way out of the village before I stopped...
Ning Caiwei sighed: "Only childhood is carefree."
"No! It depends on whose childhood it is."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly, thinking back to his war-torn childhood.
After picking up Ning Xiaoquan and his wife in Xikou Town, we started our return journey.
The road was really bumpy, Jiang Mei felt dizzy and almost fainted. She said anxiously:
"Xiao Xiang! Stop the car now."
Ning Xiaoquan's legs were swollen and he said worriedly:
"My old rheumatic leg might be finished."
Xiang Chu hurriedly stopped the car, opened the trunk and took out the medicine box.
Ning Caiwei was rubbing her mother's temples and asked in confusion:
"Xiang Chu! What are you doing?"
Xiang Chu opened the medicine box and took out a box of acupuncture. While disinfecting it, he said:
"Oh! First, let our mother stop getting carsick, and then let our father stop having swollen legs."
Ning Caiwei didn't believe it and rolled her eyes at him, meaning that he should stop trying to show off.
"Xiao Xiang! Can you cure motion sickness?"
Jiang Mei said weakly.
"Of course!"
Xiang Chu's hands were as fast as lightning, and he pierced her head with several needles.
Jiang Mei nodded and said, "Then you should get treatment quickly."
"It's healed now. Get up and walk around."
Xiang Chu smiled, quickly pulled out the needle and disinfected it again.
"Ah! So fast?"
Jiang Mei asked in confusion and got out of the car tremblingly.
She jumped a few times and said with a smile:
"Really? I'm not dizzy at all. What a miracle doctor!"
"Of course! You have the ability to do this."
Ning Caiwei lightly punched Xiang Chu.
"It's our dad's turn now, help me get the medicine box."
Xiang Chu smiled and moved to the other side of the car with the acupuncture needle.
Ning Caiwei picked up the medicine box and followed, saying happily:
"If you can cure my father's leg, I will marry you in my next life."
Jiang Mei couldn't help laughing:
"This kid! He hasn't even gotten married in this life, but he's already thinking about the next life."
Ning Xiaoquan beat his legs in pain and waved his hands repeatedly:
"Xiao Xiang! I have consulted many doctors for my leg, but no one can cure it. Let's just forget it."
It was two o'clock in the afternoon, the time of the day when the temperature was the highest.
Moreover, the sun was shining directly on the earth, and it felt a little hot even wearing a shirt.
Jiang Mei hurriedly persuaded him, "His father! Others can't do it, but your son-in-law may really be able to do it. Look at me, I'm not dizzy at all now. Take off your long pants and autumn trousers quickly, and let Xiao Xiang treat you."
Ning Xiaoquan suddenly gained confidence and nodded, "Okay! Let's give it a try."
When he took off his wet autumn johns, the condition of his legs was shocking.
Ning Caiwei cried, "Dad! How did your legs become like this? Woo woo!"
