I asked in a deep voice: "What rules did the country doctor say?"

Warlocks never dare to despise the rules. Because the rules represent taboos. Some taboos come from strangers, and some come from ghosts and gods. Once you violate the rules, you have to face the ghosts and gods directly, which even the warlocks are not willing to do.

matter.

Yunya said slowly:

The old doctor said: In the old days, there were few doctors in the Northeast, and people in the village went to barefoot doctors for medical treatment.

Barefoot doctors are both farmers and doctors. They farm during busy periods and practice medicine during slack periods. They may also farm during the day and deliver medicine to people at night.

Just because barefoot doctors go out a lot at night, there are three rules: save the cooked but not the young, save the old but not the young, and save the white but not the black.

My father didn't take the old doctor's words seriously at all, and told him: It is a doctor's bounden duty to save people, and there is no right to say whether to save people or not.

The old doctor was so angry with my dad that he didn't even speak to me when we met later, just because my dad didn't take what the old man said seriously.

Yunya stopped here. I could clearly see her body trembling slightly. I should be about to touch the most critical place in her memory.

I said softly: "I heard the old saying: when you don't take the words of your elders seriously, something will really happen. Did something happen to your father soon?"

"Yes!" Yunya couldn't stop trembling. I raised my hand and pulled out a silver needle and inserted it into the other person's acupuncture point. Only then did I control Yunya's fear.

Yun Ya continued: I remember clearly that there was a heavy snowfall on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month that year.

The snow in the yard was barely around anyone's ankles. People in the village stayed at home and didn't go out. My dad and I went to sleep on the kang early in the morning.

When I slept until midnight, I heard someone banging on the door outside. My dad, wearing a cotton-padded jacket, lit a lamp and shouted outside: "Who is it?"

I heard someone pleading outside: "Doctor Xiang, there is someone at the head of the village who is in trouble. Can you please extend your hand quickly?"

My dad went down to the ground and opened the door for the man. He went back to get the first aid kit and told me to wait for him when he came back.

When my dad would go to see a doctor in the middle of the night, I would wait for him to come back alone, and I never felt afraid.

I don’t know what happened that day. I felt a wave of fear when I looked at the door.

I could see half of the man's face through the light at the door, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen him.

The man stood motionless at the door waiting for my dad, but his eyes were fixed on me. The more I looked at the door, the more scared I became, as if I was afraid that the man would push the door and walk in.

Before my dad had packed up his things, I was crying and clamoring to go on a medical trip with him. My dad was so troubled by me that he had no choice but to take me with him.

When I followed my dad out, I heard the clock in my house ringing. I looked back and saw that it was exactly eleven o'clock. Isn't this what the old man said: "Save the white but not the black"?

The old man said that you should not go out to see a doctor after eleven o'clock. There is an unwritten rule among the young and old in Shiliba Village. You cannot disturb the doctor after midnight. No one will come to seek medical treatment in the middle of the night. No matter who comes at night.

You can't even go to the doctor.

I wanted to tell my dad, "It's past eleven o'clock," but as soon as I looked up, I saw the person leading the way twisted his head and looked back at me, smiling while looking at me.

That man was much taller than me, so looking at me from above made my heart pound. I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say a word, but he just grabbed my dad's clothes.

My dad kept his head down and hurried on, without even looking at the man. I tugged on his clothes, and he thought I couldn't walk, so he turned around and held my hand and walked forward.

I was almost dragged to the end of the village by my dad.

There were no houses at all at the end of the village, and everywhere you looked there was a vast expanse of white snow. My dad asked the man: Where is the patient?

The man pointed under the big willow tree in front, and my dad shined the flashlight there, only to see a woman with a big belly lying there.

My dad asked me to wait for him at a distance, and he ran to the willow tree and put down the first aid kit.

Before my dad could save anyone, I heard someone shouting: "You can't control it, stop it!"

The person who called me dad was the old doctor in the village. He ran over for some unknown reason and dragged my dad to go back: "Didn't I tell you? Don't you want to save someone before you can save them? You are looking for death!"

My dad threw away the old doctor and tried to save people again. The old man suddenly became anxious: "Let me ask you, have you seen this person? Don't you think about it, in the middle of the night, in the heavy snow, a woman who is pregnant with a child,

How did you get under the willow tree?"

"And that willow tree...can you lean on that willow tree casually?"

What the old man said about "rescuing familiar people but not rescuing people" means that he can only save familiar people, not people he has never met. Because you don't know who you are saving, or what you are saving?

My dad's stubbornness also came up: "I don't care if he has seen it or not. If you don't save it, it will cost two lives. If you don't save it, aren't you afraid of thunder?"
