How does Lu Xun's "Medicine" describe Hua Laoshuan selling medicine?

According to the plot, it can be sorted into the following parts: waiting - getting money - going on the road - waiting for medicine - getting medicine - going home.

First, wait.

In the second half of the night in autumn, the moon goes down and the sun has not yet risen, leaving only a dark blue sky; except for the things that wander at night, everyone is asleep. Hua Laoshuan suddenly sat up, struck a match, and lit the greasy lamp. The two rooms of the teahouse were filled with bluish-white light.

These few sentences of environmental description are obviously written from the psychological perspective of Hua Laoshuan's waiting. "The moon has gone down, but the sun has not risen yet." Hua Laoshuan looked out the window and looked at the sky. changes, he hopes that the moon will go down quickly, and he hopes that the sun will come out quickly, but "the sun has not come out yet", he still has to wait. "Everything falls asleep except for things that wander at night." Hua Laoshuan is certainly not a "thing that wanders at night." He should be asleep, but he doesn't because he has important things to do.

It was almost time, and Hua Laoshuan "suddenly" sat up. This "sudden" is intriguing. Maybe he waited too long. Hua Laoshuan also squinted. He suddenly remembered that he shouldn't sleep, so he sat up immediately. He might still squint when he lay down again.

It’s still early, what is Hua Laoshuan doing? Give people suspense.

Second, get money.

"Xiao Shuan's father, are you going to go?" It was an old woman's voice. There was also a cough in the small room inside.

"Hmm." Lao Shuan listened, responded, and buttoned up his clothes. He stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."

Aunt Hua dug under the pillow for a long time. , took out a bag of foreign money and handed it to Lao Chuan. Lao Chuan took it, put it shakily into his pocket, pressed it twice outside, then lit the lantern, blew out the lamp, and walked to the inner room. Inside the room, there was a rustling sound, followed by a cough. Lao Shuan waited for him to calm down before calling out in a low voice, "Xiao Shuan... don't get up... shop? Your mother will arrange it."

The old woman's voice followed a cough. A family of three. Aunt Hua's "Are you going just to go?" seemed to imply that it was still early, so Hua Laoshuan simply responded and did what he was doing very neatly: listening, responding, buckling, reaching for the money; and Xiao Shuan is still sleeping and does not talk too much. The actions of catching, pretending, pressing, clicking, blowing and walking show Hua Laoshuan's meticulousness, thrift, hard work and love for his son.

At this time, Hua Laoshuan didn't pay attention to his wife's questions, but paid special attention to the package of foreign money. "Shaking" means weighing, perhaps a kind of satisfaction and achievement; "Pressed." "Two clicks" shows Hua Laoshuan's caution. He was still worried about Hua Xiaoshuan, so he went to the back room to comfort his sick son, telling him not to get up early and not to mind things in the store. The careful Hua Laoshuan is fully responsible for everything in the family and appears to be smart and capable.

These two stanzas portray the image of a diligent, frugal and cautious farmer, as well as the image of a father who loves his son eagerly.

Third, hit the road.

When Lao Shuan heard that his son stopped talking, he thought he had fallen asleep peacefully, so he went out and walked to the street. The street was dark and empty, with only a gray road clearly visible. The light illuminated his feet, walking one behind the other. Sometimes I encountered several dogs, but none of them barked. The weather was much colder than inside the house; Lao Shuan felt refreshed, as if he had once transformed into a young man, gained supernatural powers and had the ability to give people life, and he was taking extraordinarily high steps. Moreover, the road became clearer and clearer as we walked, and the sky became brighter and brighter as we walked further.

This is a psychological description, which mainly shows that Hua Laoshuan is full of confidence and expectations for what he is doing.

"My son stopped talking." Hua Xiaoshuan didn't speak, he just coughed. Coughing was a symptom. Lao Shuan probably avoided talking about coughing instead, but he was still very cautious.

"The street is dark and empty" means that it is still early, and it doesn't matter if you can't see anything else, as long as you can see the road; and Hua Laoshuan's only concern at this time is that he can only see the road.

Hua Laoshuan lit a lantern, but where did the light come from? It's obviously not the light of a lantern. "Walking in tandem" means that the light is behind Hua Laoshuan. Are there still street lights on the street?

The dog you encounter must be a wild dog. Only wild dogs don’t bark when they see people. Do dogs also go to the execution ground? The lack of barking dogs adds to the dead silence. Dogs obviously don't pay attention to people, and people don't pay attention to dogs. Dogs and people go their separate ways, each with their own purposes, and no one cares about the other. The appearance of the dog was a little more terrifying, but Hua Laoshuan didn't care.

The following description of Hua Laoshuan is full of metaphors. It was very cold outside, but Hua Laoshuan felt "refreshing". He no longer had the torment of waiting. He naturally felt relaxed, as if he were a teenager again, full of expectations for his son's recovery; "gaining magical powers" and "giving people "The skill of life" is also a great confidence in what he is doing. He believes that what he is doing can be done well. He believes that as long as he does what he is doing, his son can be reborn. So "stepping extraordinarily high", he walked in long strides. The faster he walked, the closer he was to hope. The road in front of him is becoming clearer and clearer, and the sky is getting brighter and brighter. This is the path and hope of his life.
