"Fifth sister-in-law, please, don't go in any further!" Di Jinhua's heartbreaking and panicked shouts came from the crowd.

Li Qiaoer turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye. He stared into space and straightened his body. As if guided by God, he stretched his hands forward and walked straight into the depths of Xiwan with a smile on his face without any worries.

"The fifth aunt has jumped into the bay! Go find the fifth uncle!" someone in the crowd shouted. Several men who were close to Zhang Zuhua gathered together to discuss for a while, and then ran away. A dense crowd crowded the bay.

along.

"Fifth Aunt, come back quickly..."

"Her fifth sister-in-law, what's wrong with you..."

There were shouts and shouts one after another, but no one was seen entering the water.

Di Jinhua separated from the crowd, squeezed to the edge of the bay, stepped into the pool, and her left foot sank into the mud. She was startled, stepped back and stomped the ground quickly, shaking off the mud stuck to her feet.

"Fifth sister-in-law, come back quickly, don't go in..." she shouted. Some people looked at her feet and stared at her in confusion.

The water was getting deeper and deeper, and Li Qiaoer was forced to slow down. The water gradually approached her chest, and people's shouts became louder. Suddenly, several shouts came from behind, covering everyone's voices, "Qiang

Damn it! Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

Everyone followed the sound and saw a man running up the street, waving his hands and distorting his facial features. It was Li Qiaoer's husband Zhang Zuhua. Wherever he went, people gave way, and a "small path" led directly to the shore of Sai Wan. Di Jin

When Hua saw her fifth brother Zhang Zuhua from a distance, she stepped into the water and waded forward, shouting: "Fifth sister-in-law, come back quickly!"

Zhang Zuhua walked like flying and reached the shore in the blink of an eye. Zhang Zuhua did not jump into the water in time, but stood on the shore and shouted: "Li Qiaoer, what kind of trouble are you going to make when you come back! The whole family has been disturbed by you.

, how long will you continue to make trouble before it’s over!”

Li Qiao'er, on the other hand, "regardless of the wind and waves, it's better than strolling in the garden", shielded herself from the disturbances of the outside world, and walked deeper into the world on her own. Zhang Zuhua didn't care to curse any more, and jumped into the water with a "plop", taking three steps and two steps at a time.

She rushed forward and passed by Di Jinhua. The waves splashed all over her face. Seeing Zhang Zuhua rushing forward, Di Jinhua was in a dilemma. She stood there awkwardly and hummed in a low voice: "Fifth sister-in-law"

Wow, come back soon..."

Zhang Zuhua became so angry that he simply threw himself into the water and paddled forward with both hands. After a while, he caught up with Li Qiaoer and punched her in the back. Li Qiaoer staggered and then turned around, but her eyes were blank.

Don't understand what happened.

Zhang Zuhua couldn't help but grabbed her arm and pulled her to the shore. Li Qiaoer refused and struggled hard, as if to resist someone destroying her "piety". Zhang Zuhua dragged and hugged her along the way, and finally got her to the shore, gasping for breath.

With that tone, he separated from the crowd and pulled Li Qiaoer home.

When Zhang Zuhua pushed Li Qiaoer on a small stool and scolded her, Di Jinhua followed in and timidly called "Fifth Brother" from behind. Zhang Zuhua stopped scolding, looked back at her, and said

"Sit down." Zhang Zuhua wanted to say to Di Jinhua, "I asked you to take care of her because she came to sleep." But he didn't say that. He sat silently on the small stool and lit a cigarette.

After Li Qiaoer came back, she lowered her head and sat silently without saying a word. Zhang Zuhua took two puffs of cigarette and looked up to see how pitiful she was, so he lit another cigarette and handed it to her. Li Qiaoer turned away and waved her hand to refuse.

"Huh? You got this disease and you gave up smoking for more than 20 years. Not to mention this disease has some benefits." Zhang Zuhua said with a smile. Now the rain has passed and the sky has cleared up, and Zhang Zuhua has returned to his normal appearance. Suddenly, "

There was a sound of footsteps, and Hong Yangniang walked in. Zhang Zuhua stood up and gave up his seat.

"Uncle Five, Aunt Five is ill and needs to be cured! Ask Wu Changling to come and see her." Hong Yangniang said. After hearing this, Zhang Zuhua's face froze and he had no money in his pocket. He thought of seeing a doctor and taking medicine.

My heart felt empty.

"We can let him come here first to see what the disease is and how to treat it, and then we can figure out a solution... We can't put it off like this. The whole family is holding back, and I'm afraid the fifth aunt won't be able to bear it!" Hong Yang's mother added.

Hearing this, Zhang Zuhua took a long drag on his cigarette, stepped on the cigarette butt under his feet, and puffed out a thick stream of smoke. He stood up in a blue mist.

"Yeah! I'm going to invite Wu Changling."

Wu Changling arrived cheerfully. Without saying a word after entering, he looked at Li Qiaoer's condition, asked Zhang Zuhua about Li Qiaoer's usual performance, and finally nodded.

"The fifth wife may have reached menopause, which has affected her spirit." Wu Changling said.

"What do you mean, the fifth sister-in-law is mentally ill?" Di Jinhua asked in surprise. You know, in this small village, there is no difference between the concepts of mental illness and lunatic, which is tantamount to a death sentence. There is a mentally ill patient in the neighboring village who holds

Knife murder incident. Zhang Zuhua was also surprised when he heard the news that his wife was mentally ill.

"Don't be afraid," Wu Changling explained with a smile, "The mental disorders caused by menopause are different from other mental illnesses. They are not that serious. You can just take medicine to adjust them for a period of time."

"What medicine should I take? Can you cure it?" Zhang Zuhua asked.

"I can't cure it. I'm just a barefoot doctor. I don't have any medicine... You have to go to a mental hospital to treat this disease."

In the evening, Zhang Xiaoqiang came back, and his sister Zhang Ling secretly told him the news about his mother's mental illness. He immediately glanced at his mother and saw her sitting dejectedly on the big kang without saying a word, but he felt inexplicably scared. Before going to bed

, Zhang Xiaoqiang insisted on changing places with his sister, saying that he would give his sister a chance to sleep next to her mother and realize her long-held wish. Zhang Ling said that you are afraid of our mother. Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled and was noncommittal.

Zhang Xiaoqiang never slept well that night. After a while, he woke up and opened his eyes to look at his mother. When he opened his eyes again, under the moonlight, Zhang Xiaoqiang peeked at his mother, only to find that his mother's eyes were round and unblinking.

He was looking at himself, so horrified and strange that Zhang Xiaoqiang shrank in fright, pulled the blanket and covered himself tightly.

The next morning, Zhang Zuhua told Zhang Ling to take care of Li Qiaoer, and ran around the village for most of the morning, borrowing money everywhere, and finally found out the address of the mental hospital, which was fifty miles away. After lunch, Zhang Zuhua rode his bicycle

I took Li Qiaoer to the hospital and didn't get home until evening and came back with a large bag of medicine.

The effect of the medicine was surprisingly good. After taking the medicine that night, Li Qiaoer slept soundly. She snored softly all night and did not move. It seemed that she had made up for the sleep she had missed after being sick for more than ten days. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang
