Volume 1 There Are Dragons and Sparrows in Lin'an Chapter 21 Healing
"How did you end up here?"
"I'm here to see you. The woman in brocade was holding a fur medicine bag around her waist, and her long black and bright hair was combed and piled on top of her head, revealing her snow-white slender neck, and she kept looking at Chu Xianzhao, as if this was the first time they met.
"You...... Cure?" Chu Xianzhao put down the wolf in his hand and looked at her with a puzzled expression, while Chu Yingyang on the side of the woman pulled him aside and whispered: "Little brother, this is the doctor I told you, people have a prescription for treating madness, you let her show you how to treat it." β
"I'm not sick! Chu Xianzhao said a little angrily, Su Nianyu didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two brothers, but walked around in the weeping eagle like a curious baby, her slender hand swept over those expensive desks and vases from time to time, her eyes were shining.
"Sick people say this, have you forgotten how you were sick last time? Even my brother didn't dare to stop you, and don't think I don't know, you have changed several quilts in the past half a month, and those quilts are so rotten that they seem to have been gnawed by wild beasts, and the taste of illness in the middle of the night is not pleasant. Chu Yingyang's words made him feel like he had been struck by lightning.
Since the immortal lock was broken, Chu Xianzhao always had very strange nightmares every time he fell asleep, in the dream, he stood on the dark grassland with no end in sight, the fragment-like picture kept flashing, he saw the black-haired man split the monster he couldn't name with an axe, the blood poured on him like a torrential rain, the man let out a beast-like howl, like a new life, the naked woman used blood to draw an unknown pattern on her body, smiling and walking to the fire, the newborn baby also placed a pair of dry hands on the altar, the baby's eyes were flowing with thick blood, and the cry seemed to pierce his mindγ
In the deepest nightmare of the nightmare, he saw a woman with the same eyes as him crawling out of the pile of corpses, her face pale, and when she saw her, she actually showed a similar happy expression on her face: "Zhao'er...... Mother loves you. β
When he woke up from the bed in agony, everything in front of him was foggy, the quilt was torn into flocculents, and the edge of the bed was almost full of his tooth marks!
"So brother, you already knew......" Chu Xianzhao lowered his head, not daring to look into his eyes.
"I'm not like your sister who nagging all day long, and my brother rarely does anything for you...... Brother also hopes that your illness will be cured...... Anyway, that's it, I'm a big man, and I'll sour me to death if I talk about it. Chu Yingyang pushed his younger brother in front of Su Nianyu: "Miss Su, do you think my brother's illness can be cured?"
"It depends on whether he is worthy of cooperation or not!" Su Nianyu put down the heavy ancient book in her hand and said with a straight face.
"You're still going to heal?"
"Nianyu understands a little more than the third prince thinks. She frowned, an expression that if you didn't believe me, I'd leave now.
"Miss Su, my brother's life will be in your hands, as long as you cure his illness, I promise you nothing to lose. Chu Ying said categorically.
"His Royal Highness the Prince Xie, Nianyu will definitely not live up to the trust of His Royal Highness. She smiled, and showed an expression that His Royal Highness the prince can leave now, Chu Yingyang was very satisfied with her attitude, so he turned around and left, and closed the door of the weeping eagle with his hand.
The room was quiet suddenly, only to see that she pushed open the embroidered paper window, let the cool wind blow in, she faded the lilac cloud shoes, stepped barefoot on the white dragon skin with gorgeous embroidery, twitched her sleeves comfortably, and smiled like a child: "Huh, your palace is so big, and you have walked from the Suzaku Gate to your residence for almost half an hour." β
"Interesting, you? I promised you not to pursue it any further, and now you're in the palace again. Chu Xianzhao looked at her coldly, only to see her cross her waist and say, "What's the matter? You are not happy that this girl is coming to treat you, do you know how many guests I pushed in order to spare you an afternoon?"
"My brother should have paid a lot of money to invite you to come, he has always been very willing to spend money on women......"
"Stop! I'm here to help you see a doctor, not to play the piano and blow the flute...... Of course, if you want to hear it, I'd love to do that...... But you have to add money!" She untied the fur medicine bag around her waist, she took out a black shark skin pouch, spread it out on the desk, and a row of thin needles shining with cold light came into his eyes, Chu Xianzhao couldn't help but feel a tightening heart.
He took off his robe and set it aside. She took out a white porcelain bottle from the medicine pouch, soaked the silver needles she needed to prepare in it, and instructed.
Chu Xianzhao turned his back to her, took off the wide three-clawed eagle robe three times and two times, revealing a wide back, and Su Nianyu's laughing voice came from behind again: "Don't be so shy, I won't yell like a little girl who has never seen the world when I see your nakedness, men are such things...... If you have seen one, you have seen them all. β
Chu Xianzhao sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, she was still as bad as before, he thought to himself.
"Before you...... Have you ever been treated for madness?"
"No, you're my first patient. She flicked the silver needle in her hand and soaked it in another porcelain vase.
"Then you still dare to come here!Do you really understand medical skills?" Chu Xianzhao looked at her in surprise, and vaguely wanted to run away.
"Yes, the girls in our warm building will come to me if they feel unwell, what cold, dizziness, typhoid fever, menstrual irregularities are good, a needle is good, it is much better than going outside to see a doctor, it saves their time, and I can earn some silver......" she smiled.
Chu Xianzhao picked up his robe and walked towards the door, Su Nianyu hurriedly took his hand: "Don't don't, don't, I'm playing with you." β
Chu Xianzhao glanced at her and felt that this woman was really hateful, charming and seductive for a while, cunning and black as a snow fox for a while, like a little girl who played with you for a while, such a woman, such a woman......
Why kill with a sword?
Chu Xianzhao sat down in front of her, and decided to deal with her with silence to see what else she could do.
"Biting!" Su Nianyu handed him a white soft handkerchief, and she deliberately tied it into a roll with cotton thread, "I'm not afraid of pain, you can come directly." Chu Xianzhao rejected her,
"Also, I didn't see you shouting for mercy after beating you so many times that night, then I will prick it directly!" She took out a very thin needle from the medicine bottle and flicked it gently, and the needle pierced straight into the two vertebrae of Chu Xianzhao's neck, Chu Xianzhao gasped, he vaguely felt that the needle was releasing something in his body, swimming along his veins, trying to enter his mind.
"Yimang!" Her technique suddenly accelerated, three silver needles pierced the back of his neck, she gently looked for the gaps between those spines, slowly conveying the essence qi, after a sharp pain, the impressions in those nightmares suddenly appeared, Chu Xianzhao forcibly fixed his mind and did not let his emotions be exposed.
Gradually, what came into his mind was a cool feeling, he could feel her soft fingers like bird feathers sweeping over his head, and he remembered that after he passed out that night, in his dreams he felt a touch like bird feathers sweeping over his face from time to time, and now he knew that it was Su Nianyu who was applying medicine to him.
"Erin!" she slowly twisted the needle's tail, and those silent images were stirred again, as if looming, very real.
"Thank you......" he said suddenly, which made Su Nianyu's movements pause slightly.
"Thanks for what?" she asked knowingly.
"Thank you for helping me heal, and that night, I said something that broke your heart, so that you couldn't get off the stage...... I'm sorry. "Chu instantly summoned the family of goodness to have Yu Qing, and sometimes a faint apology can also accumulate yin virtue in front of the Buddha.
"You're really a child, how can we women in the dust not get off the stage because of such a trivial matter?" she smiled softly.
"But even if you can't get off the stage, you can't live life the same. She suddenly changed her cold tone, and Chu Xianzhao heard a faint sadness from her words.
