The Frontier Years Chapter 16 Night Clinic
The night was dark, the stars were shining, and the faint moonlight shone on the water, emitting a little phosphorescence.
The water suddenly opened up, the boat slowed down, and in the distance the fishing light was like beans, dotted with stars, and a dark, solemn city appeared in front of everyone.
"This is Shangsi County. Shen Weiyong said happily.
"It's a big city. Hu Youde exclaimed.
Shangsi County is a big city closest to the bitter sea, built near the water, majestic and strong, and is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight.
Shen Weiyong arranged to carry the goods and let everyone be busy on their own, and Ma Shaoteng ordered his deputy to press the prisoner to find another place to live. As a prisoner, Lei Shaoxuan was carried by Hu Youde, Ma Shaoteng accompanied the guard with two other sergeants, and Shen Weiyong led the way into the city and went straight to the medical hall.
It was late at night, the streets were quiet and empty, occasionally some shops still hung lanterns, and dogs barked from time to time in the distance, and the group rushed to Zhuma Street.
The medical hall has been closed, and Hu Weiyong unceremoniously knocked on the door loudly, obviously very familiar with the medical hall.
"It's coming, it's coming. A disgruntled woman's voice came from inside the room.
After a while, the door opened, and suddenly the medicinal fragrance greeted her, and a woman with a lantern appeared in front of everyone.
The woman, with her hair casually coiled on top of her head, was wearing a thin shirt and a short splendid cloak, apparently awakened from her sleep.
The woman is not very old, her face is like a jade face hibiscus, her eyebrows and nose are trimmed, her skin is like clotted fat, her eyes are big, the autumn water is rippling, and she wants to laugh.
What a beautiful girl, everyone couldn't help but admire in their hearts, and Ma Shaoteng's heart moved even more, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Seeing Shen Weiyong, he was immediately dissatisfied: "It's so late, my mother has already fallen asleep, what are you doing?"
Shen Weiyong smiled and said, "Niece, this child is very sick, please treat it." β
Hearing the word child, the woman's face softened.
"This is the most famous Langzhong Wang Siyi ...... Shangsi," Shen Weiyong said.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, my mother is behind, quickly carry the child in. β
Wang Siyi said impatiently.
Hearing this, Shen Weiyong walked away by himself, and everyone suddenly slandered in their hearts, whether this old man led someone to see a doctor, or did he come to see someone himself.
Lei Shaoxuan was put on the bed, revealing a face with clear eyebrows, delicate and fair skin, but his face was a little pale, his face was haggard, and he was obviously weak to the extreme, which made people feel distressed.
Lei Shaoxuan put his hands on either side of his body, revealing the tinkling chains.
"Hmph, dumb boy, was he finally arrested, was it because he was stealing chickens and touching dogs, or was he bullying men and women?" Wang Siyi gloated.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, a little crying and laughing, this woman is obviously very characterful, most of them have been troubled by the gentlemen, and they are extremely disgusted with the gentlemen.
Lei Shaoxuan looked just like a gentleman, and he suddenly didn't know how to respond, only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise.
Ma Shaoteng was next to him, and Hu Youde was embarrassed to say that Lei Shaoxuan was innocent, after all, if Lei Shaoxuan was innocent, wouldn't Ma Shaoteng and the others be villains?
"I am guilty of treason. Lei Shaoxuan was sore all over, struggling and struggling, "Sister, if you don't want to save me, it doesn't matter, if you treat the rebels, you may be implicated." β
"Huh?" Wang Siyi looked at Lei Shaoxuan in surprise and said, "You rebelled at such a young age?"
"What about your family?" Wang Siyi said.
Everyone in the world knows that for the crime of treason, the male will be exiled together.
"My grandfather died, my brother died, my mother and sister were at home, and I was the only one who was exiled to the bitter sea. "My brother is not dead, but he can't say it.
For strangers, Lei Shaoxuan's words are a bit much, but as soon as Wang Siyi opened her mouth, Lei Shaoxuan knew that she was most likely a jealous and hateful person, and she was extremely curious and liked to get to the bottom of it, and most of this kind of people were also very sympathetic.
Shen Weiyong taught Lei Shaoxuan to carefully observe the people and things around him and use them for his own use. This is the first time that Lei Shaoxuan has a clear mind to plan for himself.
"What about your father?" Wang Siyi then asked.
"I don't have a father, only my mother to raise the three of us!"
In one sentence, countless grievances, sourness and helplessness were expressed, and Lei Shaoxuan's eyes were full of tears.
Everyone sighed. Everyone knows that this crime is equivalent to being innocent, and since he was a child, he was fatherless, and he was innocently thrown into a prison cell and exiled to the border at a young age, and anyone would be moved.
Wang Siyi was suddenly sad, a little embarrassed, and picked up Lei Shaoxuan's hand to check the pulse.
Lei Shaoxuan's hands were soft and clean, but where his wrists were chained, they were black and purple, full of scars, and some places were worn out, revealing hideous pus, blood and black flesh.
Wang Siyi felt even more palpitations in her heart, looking at Lei Shaoxuan, her face with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes looked so distressing.
Wang Siyi put her delicate and white fingers like jade onions on Lei Shaoxuan's arm.
"Sister, your hands are so beautiful. Lei Shaoxuan said. Peeking at Wang Siyi's face, he felt a little uneasy.
"Closed ...... Don't speak!" Hearing this, Wang Siyi's heart was a little sweet.
Lei Shaoxuan's pulse made Wang Siyi even more worried.
Lei Shaoxuan's pulse was weak and floating, slow and weak, obviously he had been in a state of flux for a long time; his heart was dry, and he obviously had a high fever like a burning mountain, and he didn't know how he survived; his vitality was weak, intermittent, but weak and continuous, and it was obvious that there had been a master who renewed his vitality.
However, this kind of vitality is a source of water that cannot last long.
Wang Siyi then untied Lei Shaoxuan's leather boots, and everyone gasped when they saw it.
Both feet were already glued to the socks, and the thick white socks leached with layers of blood, red, black, and brown .......
Wang Siyi cut the socks with scissors and carefully removed the socks, Lei Shaoxuan inhaled in pain, and his face was distorted.
The feet were completely rotten, the flesh and blood were blurred, and there were blisters, wounds, blood, and pus everywhere, mixed together, looking hideous, shocking, and I don't know how Lei Shaoxuan endured it.
"Young master, why don't you say it, let me carry you!" Hu Youde was a little angry.
He suddenly understood that Lei Shaoxuan really didn't want to live anymore, and only if he didn't want to live could he endure such pain.
"You're working as hard, and I can still hold back. Lei Shaoxuan said weakly.
Wang Siyi's heart was stabbed by something, and she was sad. She had never seen such a strong young man, and she still ridiculed him for being a gentleman.
Wang Siyi glared at everyone fiercely, seeing that Ma Shaoteng felt weak in his heart, and smiled bitterly in his heart, this girl regarded him as a villain.
Wang Siyi boiled a bucket of potion and brought it steamingly, and the decoction in the barrel was tumbling and bubbling, boiling endlessly, making people chill.
Lei Shaoxuan was even more frightened, Wang Siyi didn't care about it, grabbed Lei Shaoxuan's feet and pressed them into the bucket, Lei Shaoxuan's face turned pale with fright, his two feet retracted desperately, everyone turned their faces, and didn't dare to look, this girl didn't want to kill someone, right?
"Ahh
The sharp pain came from the feet in an instant, but the itching accompanied by the sharp pain permeated the two feet, driving away the pain, and the whole body became comfortable, and there was a feeling of flying into the sky, which was extremely ecstatic.
Lei Shaoxuan sweated like rain, but he felt very relaxed all over his body, this feeling was so pleasant.
Wang Siyi pressed Lei Shaoxuan's feet seriously, and his side face was facing Lei Shaoxuan, this face was white and crystalline, soft as jade, Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but say again:
"Sister, you are so beautiful!" Lei Shaoxuan said sincerely.
"Flim Flam. Wang Siyi was secretly happy in her heart and said angrily.
"The pulse is weak, the number is sparse at first glance, like a feather like a cloud, the heart is withered, the face is blue to white, and the life is short, only maintained by an external vitality. Wang Siyi said softly, "Compared with it, the injuries to the hands and feet are just a small way, raise your hands to get rid of them." β
"How is this good? How is it so sick, how can you get on the road? There are still thousands of miles to go to the sea of suffering. Ma Shaoteng's heart sank, and he couldn't help but say.
Wang Siyi glared at Ma Shaoteng: "You are really not a good person, he is dying, and he is still thinking about the road." β
Ma Shaoteng smiled bitterly, his original intention was not to force Lei Shaoxuan to go on the road, but to worry about Lei Shaoxuan's condition. However, in the face of the slightly angry jade man, Ma Shaoteng couldn't explain it anyway, his identity was the wicked person who escorted the prisoner, and the more he explained, the darker it became.
In the final analysis, Ma Shaoteng is just a young man who has just fallen in love, he has always regarded himself very highly, rarely has contact with girls, and does not know how to deal with girls.
When he was in Beichuan, how many people proposed to him, he didn't agree, and he disdained to enter the Qinglou, only his mother was the master and married a concubine, and there was no wife, so that he grew so big, and still had no experience in dealing with girls, and suddenly met such a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but be moved and shy, and he didn't dare to talk more.
"Sister, it doesn't matter, death is death! Lei Shaoxuan's heart was relaxed, and Lei Shaoxuan was relieved about life and death.
Wang Siyi's heart tightened, and he said angrily: "Nonsense, my sister is here, you can't die if you want to, it's just a little troublesome." β
Wang Siyi frowned slightly, and said, "If you continue on the road, you will definitely die." β
Turning to look at Ma Shaoteng, he said, "He needs to recuperate here for a few days." β
Ma Shaoteng hurriedly said: "But according to the girl's arrangement, I am also here to listen to the girl's orders at any time." It's just that she is so seriously ill, does the girl ask the elderly in the family to check it?"
"Tired, depressed, empty, almost terminally ill, except for this girl in Shangsi County, can you find someone who can save him and give it a try? Hmph, even if you can use medicine, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay for the medical treatment." Wang Siyi said proudly.
Hu Youde untied his burden, took out a few ingots of silver, and said, "Girl, my young master is going out far away, and the silver he brings is not much, if it is not enough, we will find a way." β
A few ingots of silver, a total of more than a hundred taels, is a huge amount of money. Hu Youde heard that Lei Shaoxuan was seriously ill and couldn't help but take it out.
This goes to the sea of suffering, thousands of miles away, this money seems to be a lot, but it is actually the last life-saving money, and I can't help but feel distressed.
Wang Siyi looked at a few ingots of silver, and said lightly: "It's a lot." β
Lei Shaoxuan grabbed the burden and took out a piece of gold given by the Taoist priest, this action made the weak body ache for a while, and couldn't help but gasp a little.
"Sister, it's all for you, whether it can be cured or not, I don't blame you, just do your best. β
Wang Siyi went to the backyard to dispense medicine, and Hu Youde couldn't help it.
"Young master, that's the silver taels that your mother only made up with all her possessions. There are still thousands of miles to go to the bitter sea, and when you get to the bitter sea, you still need to deal with the top and bottom of the death row, you take it all out, how will it be good in the future? What the woman said was just a clichΓ©, the same as what other Lang Zhong said, most of it was just for the sake of medical expenses. β
In the pharmacy in the backyard, Wang Siyi couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, and suddenly her face was full of anger, her apricot eyebrows were upside down, and she stopped the movements in her hand.
