Chapter 1:Return

Li Changle had a splitting headache and wanted to get up and find some painkillers to take, but his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and he couldn't open them no matter what.

At this time, he heard something like his mother-in-law shouting outside the house: "Ah Le, your father sprained his foot on the way to ask for money from Xiaohai, and was bitten by a snake. Come out quickly, take the money to the clinic, and carry him on his back." return."

"Why does it sound like grandma's voice?"

Li Changle's consciousness gradually became clearer as he listened to the movement outside. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother-in-law, who had been gone for many years, running towards him.

"Aniang?" His eyes widened for a moment, and he felt his scalp was numb, and the hairs all over his body suddenly stood on end.

.......

Dreaming! Must be dreaming!

Li Changle closed his eyes hard and opened them again, only to see A Niang, wearing an old-fashioned homespun dress with a slanted front, still standing there alive.

And the small wooden bed opposite was clearly where the two sons used to sleep. How could it appear with my mother-in-law?

It’s not a dream! If it is, why is it so real?

He remembered that when he came out of the demolition office, his battery truck was hit by a slag truck, and his eyesight went dark and he didn't know anything at all.

Could it be that he is already dead? He didn’t even go to the Hall of Hell and was reborn again?

In my previous life, I had watched many short dramas about rebirth and time travel. The person was either a boss or the son of a high-ranking official. Is it possible that the higher authorities have relaxed the policy after birth, and the lower authorities have also relaxed their policies?

"You bastard, you're deaf!" Seeing him sitting there blankly, Mother Li slapped him angrily, "Did you hear that? Your father has a sprained foot and was bitten by a snake again. He is in the bathroom right now. Room, you go and carry him back quickly."

Hearing what she said, Li Changle immediately remembered that at the end of June or early July of 1983, his father went to go fishing and passed by Yantou Cave. He stepped on a rock and got bitten. He fell into the grass and was bitten by a snake hiding inside. One bite.

When he was sent to the health room, the village doctor saw that his legs were swollen like steamed buns. He asked a few questions, but without looking carefully, he went to find some snake medicine and applied it on him, then asked him to come back and rest.

Li's father went home and slept for only two hours when he started to have fever, chills, and dizziness. The bite area also began to turn black and swollen, and then he fell unconscious.

Only when he was sent to the hospital did he find out that the snake that bit him was a five-step snake...

Thinking of this, Li Changle broke into a cold sweat. He suddenly woke up from the wine. After calming down his mind, he hurriedly got out of bed, staggering and almost falling to the ground.

Mother Li hurriedly stepped forward to support him. The smell of wine almost knocked her out, and she was so angry that she slapped him again.

"How did I give birth to such a Yuanbao like you? A woman as good as Nan can't keep you, and you end up fooling around with a few second-rate men every day!"

She thought about the past and regretted that her intestines were green. On the day she gave birth to him, the old man went out to sea and caught a yellow-lipped fish weighing 100 kilograms. The team rewarded her with 20 yuan, a bag of rice, and two bags of sugar.

Twenty yuan was used to pay back the money owed to the old lady for medical treatment. Mi and Tang had a good confinement period. They felt that A Le was a lucky star and they had always been partial to him.

Growing up, even the youngest Ah Huan was not favored by him. As long as there was something delicious, he would be the first to stick to him. The whole family would eat dried sweet potatoes, and put a handful of rice on the side of the pot to cook, and open a small stove for him. .

His parents' pampering allowed him to live as he wanted, and also pampered him into a guy who couldn't make big money, looked down on small money, had high vision and was low-handed, and looked down on usefulness.

Li Changle said anxiously: "Mom, there are a lot of five-step snakes in the Yantou cave. I'm worried that the one who bit Dad was a five-step snake, so I have to send him to the hospital in the town.

Get some more money, then call Li Changqing and ask him to drive a tractor at the village headquarters. If he is really a five-step snake, we will send him to the town hospital."

Li Changqing is the only son of his third uncle. His wife is the daughter of the brigade's accountant, and he also drives the brigade's tractor.

"Ah~" Mother Li exclaimed. After thinking about it, she looked at him suspiciously, "You don't want to cheat money again..."

"Aniang~" Li Changle shouted in embarrassment, "Am I that bad in your eyes?"

Seeing his embarrassed look, Mother Li felt that what she said was a bit harsh. The third child was unreliable, but he was not that bad, so she believed what he said.

"Okay, I'll get it for you!"

Then I thought about the consequences of the five-step snake biting someone, so I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly turned around and went back to the house to get the money.

Li Changle put on his clothes and shoes and left the room in a few moments. Mother Li came over with an old purse and handed it to him after hesitation.

"There are ninety-six yuan in it. It's the only money left in the family. You can't use it to fool around with others."

"I'm going to use it to fool around, and there will be thunder and lightning!" Li Changle pocketed the money, "Hurry up and call Ah Qing. Let the eldest and second brothers prepare some money and send it to the town."

In his previous life, he was confused. He only knew that it cost a lot of money to send his father to the hospital after he fainted. The family had just sent away his grandma, and the only fishing boat was broken again.

The eldest brother and the second brother also had a tight life. In order to treat their father's illness, they seemed to have borrowed foreign debts.

In this way, my father has been very ill since he was discharged from the hospital, and even walking has been a problem...

"Oh!" Mother Li hurriedly went out and ran towards Li Changqing's house, which lived in front of her house.

Li Changle took the money and ran towards the clinic, while the stone houses on both sides of the bluestone road quickly flashed back.

I was glad that I came back at the right time. This time, my father would not waste time. Like the last time, he was so exhausted that he couldn't even walk a few more steps after being discharged from the hospital.

He ran through several house lanes, and a long pond covered with water chestnuts appeared in front of him. The village headquarters was built on the other side of the long pond, and the clinic was also there.

I saw a beautiful young woman standing at the door of the clinic looking over.

He looked hard and saw that it was his wife Zhou Ruonan.

Her parents' family lived in Lucheng Old Street, which is more than three hours' drive from Lipan Town. Because her father said something he shouldn't have said during class, he was punished and locked up.

She helped her father speak up and was sent to the village's educated youth center for labor reform.

Because of his good temper and other reasons, he was bullied in the educated youth circles.

Li Changle fell in love with the beautiful Zhou Ruonan the first time he saw her.

I even like her name, Ah Nan, it sounds so nice! Unlike those girls in the village, either Ah Hua or Ah Mei, who has big buck teeth and is called a fairy.

From then on, he calmed down his temper and followed her on horseback to please her.

Because he was handsome, good at getting things done, and could talk, it took only half a year to coax Zhou Ruonan into agreeing to a relationship with him.

Father Li and Mother Li saw that he had changed his usual lazy temperament for Zhou Ruonan, and they agreed when they thought that the person he was dating was an educated youth from the city.

When I saw Zhou Ruonan, I was even more satisfied to see her gentle and gentle.

The old lady and her mother were very considerate and caring to Anan, which moved the little girl who had been looked down upon so much after her father's accident.

Later, Zhou Ruonan's father couldn't bear the anger and hanged himself, and his mother also became sick with anger. After his father's accident, his only brother and sister-in-law severed ties with them.

Her relatives had even lost contact, and no one was willing to help her. They couldn't even borrow the money to buy a coffin for her father to bury.

Li Changle begged her parents to take the money and accompany her back to Lucheng to help settle her father-in-law's affairs. She also gave some rice to Zhou's mother. From then on, Zhou Ruonan followed him wholeheartedly.

After getting married, I saw someone secretly doing business in the village, and secretly collected some fish to sell. Who knew that as soon as I set up the stall, I encountered an inspection. Fortunately, I ran fast and was not caught.

The way of doing business was not feasible, going to sea was hard and tiring, and he couldn't make any money, so Li Changle simply broke the pot and wandered around with a few second-rate men in the village, leaving all the responsibility of raising children to her.

Zhou Ruonan was full of joy when she first got married, but gradually became more and more disappointed with him. Fortunately, her parents-in-law were kind to her and even found connections to let her work as a substitute teacher in the village primary school.

Although Li Changle is a bit lazy, he never does anything to her. As long as she works hard, life doesn't seem to be so difficult.

Later, there were Xiaohai and Xiaozhou. In 1981, her father-in-law was rehabilitated, and the educated youths returned to the city one after another. She went back to see Zhou's mother come back, but did not mention the return to the city, but shouldered the burden of supporting the family without complaint.

My father's health never recovered after being bitten by a five-step snake. Although his two brothers also provided support, the family had no help from his father. The family relied on Nan's salary of 12 or 13 yuan a month. My mother helped people weave nets and made money from sea fishing.

With that little money, life became increasingly difficult.

Fortunately, he grew up in a fishing village, and his family members all made a living at sea, so his eldest brother took him to work on his uncle's boat.

People who are used to being lazy can never bear the hardships of going out to sea. They are looked down upon by the uncle's family, and their monthly wages are less than half of others.

After his parents passed away one after another, Nan's health also started to suffer. He died of lung cancer before he was 48 years old...

Li Changle looked at his wife opposite, quickened his pace and ran across the stone arch bridge, "A Nan..."

"Here we come!" Zhou Ruonan interrupted him quietly, "Doctor Xiang has already applied the snake medicine. You give me the money and carry my father back."

Looking at his beautiful wife and thinking of her appearance after the illness, Li Changle felt particularly uncomfortable. He looked at her intently, thought of his father's injury, and hurriedly rushed into the clinic.

He said to the balding village doctor Xiang Rong: "Doctor Xiang, my mother-in-law said that the one that bit my father seemed to be a five-step snake. You'd better use a cupping pot to pull out the poison. When Ah Qing drives the tractor over, we'll deliver it." He goes to town."

Father Li lowered his head and looked at his ankle, which was swollen like a steamed bun, and glanced at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't even see it was a five-step snake. Why did your mother-in-law see it? She said it was bitten by a five-step snake." It was extremely painful. I felt burning at the time, but it didn’t hurt at all.”

"You have sprained your foot. Of course you can't feel any pain." Li Changle turned to Xiang Rong and said, "Doctor Xiang, please take a closer look."

After hearing this, Xiang Rong hurriedly knelt down and examined the wound carefully. He saw two mung bean-sized wounds in the swollen area. Blood was still seeping out from the wound, and the nearby muscles were also somewhat black.

He said sarcastically: "It seems to be the symptoms after a five-step snake bite. The main reason is that the bite was just on your sprained area and it swelled like this. I didn't pay attention to it. I will help you remove the poison first."

Father Li's face turned pale, "Oh!"

The five-step snake is called the white-flowered snake in some places, and its scientific name is the sharp-nosed adder. Its venom contains hemolytic toxin, which is extremely destructive. Once bitten by it, the anti-hemagglutinin in the venom will stop the blood flow. solidification.

After being bitten by it, the wound will bleed continuously, become swollen, blistered, have tissue gangrene and ulcer, etc. It is commonly known as the rotten meat king.

Due to the conditions in the health room, the only thing that can be done is to cut open the wound, pull out the poisonous blood with a cupping pot, and sprinkle snake poison to suppress the toxin.
