Father Fang looked at his daughter, who suddenly came home, with a bewildered expression. He was surprised because he thought both his wife and daughter were still working outside and wouldn't return for a while.
After waking up, he remembered overhearing their conversation last night, learning about the immense pressure his wife and daughter were under. He knew they were only eating a coarse cornbread for each meal to save money for his medical treatment.
Father Fang knew he was a burden. His injuries had been worsening, and he could feel his life slipping away. Rather than dragging them down with his deteriorating condition, he thought it would be better to end his life early. Since he didn't have much time left anyway, why increase their burden?
After much contemplation, Father Fang finally made up his mind and decided to end it all by throwing himself off the bed.
Little did he know that his daughter, who usually returned home only after dark, suddenly appeared at the door.
Fang Xiyue helped her father back onto the bed and quickly fetched him some water. She had no idea about her father's decision and thought he had accidentally fallen off the bed. As she fed him water, she excitedly began recounting the events of the day.
"Father, I was incredibly lucky today. I met a girl named Lu Shuyu who was originally working on the barren land, but now she's hunting in the mountains with me. She's skilled in archery, and her arrow skills are amazing. We only made a quick trip to the outskirts, and we managed to catch wild chickens, rabbits, and even a deer."
After finishing the water, Father Fang froze and asked, "You caught a deer?"
"Yes, just the two of us. I found the deer's tracks, and Miss Lu shot it with her bow and arrow. So we finished our hunting for the day and brought the deer back to the village. In addition to the food rations, the village head also gave us a few extra chickens. Father, we'll have a good meal tonight."
Father Fang was taken aback. How could these two girls manage to catch a deer and wild chickens and rabbits at this time? He didn't know whether to attribute it to their luck or their formidable skills.
Fang Xiyue continued, "But what makes me even happier is that miss Lu told me her brother is a skilled doctor. She promised that her brother will come to treat your injuries and provide medicine. However, her brother went to the county town and will only return in the evening. So Father, please wait a little longer. The doctor will come and treat you. The payment will be half a chicken, that's what miss Lu said. I think she's being too generous, but it's okay. Miss Lu is younger than me, and I'll take care of her more when we go hunting in the future."
Father Fang became even more astonished. "A doctor?"
"Yes," Fang Xiyue nodded excitedly. "Father, please rest well. I just collected a lot of mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms with miss Lu. Since the sun is still high, I'll go dry them. We can have more dishes in the future. It's still early, and miss Lu and I have planned that after I bring back this basket, we'll go to the foot of the mountain again."
Saying that, she walked out, energetically bustling about.
Father Fang watched her figure and listened to the sounds outside, unable to snap out of his daze for a long time.
How long had it been since his daughter had been so lively?
If he were to continue seeking death, would she still be able to smile like she did today? Well, let's wait a little longer. Maybe, just maybe, things will truly get better.
Perhaps, the doctor who would arrive tonight could really cure him.
