Chapter Thirteen: Ignite Hope
I thought that I would be a cripple from now on. Feeling sad, I lay on my father's back and cried softly.
When my father heard me crying, he couldn't help but said, "Dad, I'm sorry for you. You can cry if you want."
I felt very strange, why did my father say such a thing? It wasn't him who broke my foot, it was my own carelessness. But, with my father's permission, I finally burst into tears loudly. I
I knew that my father was also crying. But he didn't make a sound, but his tears had already rolled down the back of my hand.
When we walked to the gate of the primary school, a woman on the road saw me crying sadly and asked my father what happened. My father told the woman all these things.
Perhaps God was merciful. After hearing this, the woman said: "Brother, don't despair. I will tell you a doctor. He is very skilled in medicine and I guarantee that he can heal the baby's feet. During the Chinese New Year, I will give you a doctor."
I fell off a ladder and broke my ribs. When I went to the county hospital, the photo showed that I had three broken ribs. They couldn’t treat me well. I had to go to a big hospital for an operation to cut open the chest plates and cut the bones with steel.
After the nails are nailed, the steel frame is put up, and then sewn together. After one to two years, the bones have grown back, and then surgery is performed to remove the steel frame and steel nails. It requires many cuts before and after. You also have to avoid infection.
There will be no complications. The key is that it will cost tens of thousands of dollars. Don’t you think this will cost our family’s life?”
Father listened patiently to the woman's story. When she paused, he quickly asked: "Tell me, how can I be cured?"
The woman continued: "A relative of ours heard that I broke my ribs and came to visit me. After learning about my injury, he introduced us to Dr. Tu from Manshuiwan."
He is a very skilled doctor. Not only his medical skills are superb, but his medical ethics are also very noble. He is a doctor who specializes in setting bones and tenons. He never hits the poor people with sticks. My ribs were cured after just three doses of medicine.
It didn’t cost much, only about a hundred or so yuan.”
Father hurriedly said: "Please tell me the detailed location of Dr. Tu quickly so that we can find him."
The woman said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to remember what I'm telling you, and I'll go to the wrong place and delay things. You go find a paper and pen to write it down, and I'll draw a picture for you. You can compare it with the picture."
, it’s easy to find by asking while walking. Dr. Tu is very famous. When you go to their place and ask, they will give you directions.”
Father said: "My home is not far from the elementary school. You can follow me home to write."
When you get home, sit down.
The woman said: "You first need to go to the Second Hospital of Zhongpu University to take an X-ray, and then you can take it to a doctor to apply it. If the Second Hospital has a connection, you can get the X-ray in one day. If not, you have to wait."
I couldn’t tell in a week or a month. After I got the film, I caught a train from Zhongpu and got off the train at Manshuiwan. After getting off the train, I walked along the railway for a while and saw a very big river.
There is a big bridge over the river. You go across the bridge. After crossing the bridge, go to the left of the bridge. There is a three-way intersection a few hundred meters away. Go to the rightmost fork. Don't go wrong. Go after the fork.
Several hundred thousand handfuls of rice have gone to Dr. Tu and his friends. You must remember that there are three banana trees in his yard." Then he drew a picture on the paper and marked the key points. The woman finished it.
After all this, he got up and left.
The father left the woman to have dinner before leaving. The woman said she had to go to Shangtang to do some business, but she had been delayed for a while and would not eat. Before leaving, she told her to take the children there early.
That night, I heard the adults quarreling. The quarrel was very violent. I also heard the sound of the door slamming and going out... I fell asleep in a daze.
Early in the morning, the sound of "dong dong dong" entered my ears from the ladder. When I woke up and rubbed my eyes, I saw that my father had already come up to the floor. I saw him walking up to me and saying: "Mu'er
Get up, daddy will take you to see Dr. Tu."
After packing up, my father carried me to the roadside. After waiting for a while, I caught the shuttle bus to Zhongpu. The shuttle bus quickly passed the Datang Bridge, and then started to climb. It felt like I was climbing up the mountain all the way.
The shuttle bus was bumpy all the way, and my feet were aching from being shaken. But when I thought of finding Dr. Tu, my feet would be saved. I felt that the pain in my feet was gone. The car was swaying, and I was feeling dizzy.
Fell asleep.
When I woke up, the car had already arrived at Zhongpu.
I saw the Second Hospital at a glance. My father carried me on his back and walked to the Second Hospital. But instead of going to the outpatient clinic, he went upstairs to find the leader.
I asked my father: "What are we going to do?" He said: "We had a quarrel last night. One was to borrow money, and the other was to beg for help. I went out to borrow money from several families at night and borrowed more than 100 yuan. I thought about it all night
