Chapter 104: Vitality is gone
The porter was afraid that she would not believe it, so he immediately nodded desperately, "Yes, madam, the slave is not wrong and missed." ”
Mrs. Qiu immediately waved her hand, turned her head and said to Mama Lin beside her, "Mama Lin, hurry up and notify the eldest young master to come here...... Oh no, let him wait for me at the gate at once. ”
"Yes" Mama Lin hurriedly turned around and went out, but Mrs. Qiu frowned and leaned back in her chair.
Before noon, the mother and son of the Qiu family rushed to Mufu. Mu Xiaofeng was not present, I don't know how the two of them negotiated with her parents at that time, in short, she knew afterwards that two important things that could determine the rest of her life flew.
Despite Mrs. Qiu's repeated apologies and reassurances, her mother still let the Changyi Marquis Mansion give out the blood it deserved.
After having a relationship with Qiu Fu, Mu Xiaofeng felt a lot more comfortable.
It's just that she was in a good mood, but Zhao Ziyue suddenly fell ill and couldn't lift her spirits.
Mu Xiaofeng originally thought that she was overworked and would recover after two days of rest, but after three days, Zhao Ziyue not only did not recover, but her mental state and physical state were getting worse day by day.
She was anxious in her eyes and in her heart, so naturally she couldn't sit still anymore.
Early this morning, Mu Xiaofeng rushed to Yazhu Courtyard on Mu Tianda, and stopped the person just before he went out, "Daddy, today I want to take my mother out for a walk." ”
Mu Tianda paused, looked thoughtfully at the petite figure hidden under the green bamboo, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Well, it's okay to go out for a walk, but pay attention to safety, and today is a special day, remember to come back early." ”
Mu Xiaofeng didn't say a word, and nodded in agreement.
Of course, it is fake to take people out for a walk, and it is true to take people directly to a rented house on the outskirts of the city to see the old man.
"Doctor Chen, my mother-in-law has not been in good spirits recently, can you show her what is the reason?" After arranging for the Zhao family to go to the wing room to rest, as soon as Mu Xiaofeng entered the flower hall of the quiet house, he saw the gray-bearded Yao Lao squinting his eyes and shaking his head in contemplation, and he couldn't wait to say what he meant.
"What could be the reason?" Yao Lao lifted his eyelids and squinted at her, seeing that her face was worried, he still snorted unceremoniously, this attitude was completely different from Mu Xiaofeng's calm and dedication when he first met him, "It must be caused by not listening to the doctor's advice and worrying about it." ”
The girl choked, and looked at him with some tears and laughter.
As a parent, isn't it normal to worry about your children? How do you call messing around?
However, after getting along a few times, Mu Xiaofeng has basically figured out his temperament. Don't look at his age, but his heart is like a child.
It's just that you can only coax him to follow him, as long as you don't upset him, it's easy to say anything. Even if you really don't approve of him, you must pay attention to your method and attitude, in short, you must be tactful and kind, and you must never be tough against him.
Mu Xiaofeng took a breath, tried to squeeze out a gentle smile, and nodded approvingly, "Doctor Chen is right, I also advised her to worry less, but she always doesn't like to listen." ”
After speaking, the smile disappeared, and he looked at him with a sad face, "You are a doctor, she will definitely listen to your words, and I bother you to persuade her well." ”
"However, when persuading her, you still have to check her in detail." She lost her smile, and the worry in her eyes was more obvious, "She has a very poor appetite these days, and she usually can't eat a few bites, even if she drinks medicine, she barely drinks it again, and then she vomits out." ”
The girl sighed lowly, her brows unconsciously furrowed, "In addition, her spirit is much worse than before, and in addition to the obvious lack of energy in the past few days, she has become very lethargic, I am really worried that her body is ...... because of the poison?" ”
Speaking of the back, her voice finally lowered completely, and she looked at Yao Lao worriedly and expectantly, and pleaded for a while, "Please give her a detailed examination......
She was really afraid, afraid that before the antidote was developed, her mother's body would not be able to survive!
Yao Lao looked at her quietly for a while, his eyes were a little dignified, as if he was a little uncertain, he looked at her for a long time, and finally stood up without saying a word, turned around and walked towards the room where Zhao Ziyue was resting.
Mu Xiaofeng naturally wanted to follow, but when Yao Lao was inspecting, she didn't like someone to get in the way, so she was driven to the outer room to wait.
Those who have tried waiting can appreciate how heart-wrenching it is to wait. Especially when she is waiting now, she is still infinitely worried, or knowing that the result she is waiting for will definitely not be a good result, this kind of waiting taste is even more heartburning.
It seemed that a long day had passed, but in fact, it was just a cup of tea, and Yao Lao walked out with a calm face.
Mu Xiaofeng was like a stupid child again, holding back his worries and anxieties, keeping up with his particularly big steps, and turning around to the flower hall where he was staying before.
"Her situation is good or bad!" Yao Lao sat down on the carved wreath chair and picked up the teacup, but his half-squinted old eyes were unfathomably oblique to the girl, and the posture of speaking seemed to have returned to the original appearance of being out of tune.
Mu Xiaofeng's originally tense and worried mood was suddenly made half up and down by his tone, although he did not relax, but he was not as worried and tense as before.
She frowned, looked at him, and said in a not-so-good tone, "Practical." ”
Yao Lao groaned, drank a cup of tea leisurely, and then explained slowly, "Actually, all the bad symptoms she is showing now are actually because she has overworked and consumed her mind too much during this time. ”
When Mu Xiaofeng heard this, her face suddenly sank, and the guilt was more like the wind that suddenly poured in from the cracks, hovering in her heart for a long time.
"You know," Yao Lao looked at her face wrongly, as if he finally realized that he seemed to have a little bit of exaggeration just now, so he coughed lightly and eased his expression, "She has been poisoned for many years, and she has been poisoned deeply, it can be said that Hongyanjiao's toxicity has penetrated deep into her blood, even if my medicine can temporarily inhibit the spread of toxicity, it has no effect on relieving the toxicity." ”
He explained this big string, originally to comfort and comfort Mu Xiaofeng not to worry too much, but when she listened to it, her face became more and more ugly.
Yao Lao was stunned for a while, and he didn't feel that he was scaring her, he thought about it, and decided to continue what he had not finished speaking, "If she can recuperate quietly, the effect of this toxicity in her body will be lighter, otherwise, it will naturally be aggravated." ”
Mu Xiaofeng lowered his head and squinted his eyes and was silent for a long time before he suppressed the endless pain and worry in his heart.
She raised her head and stared at Yao Lao, her eyes were insistent but mixed with fear, "Please tell me, with my mother's current physical condition, she ...... How many more years can it last? When she asked this, even she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
She closed her eyes, and it took a while to regain her composure, and she asked coldly, "How many years will it take you to develop the antidote to Hongyanjiao?" ”
Don't be it, he will develop an antidote, but her mother will no longer need it!
"I heard that you have found one of these important herbs, how many herbs do you need to find to make an antidote?"
One question after another fell, Yao Lao opened his mouth slightly, but none of the questions directly satisfied her.
It's not that you don't want to answer, but it's difficult to answer.
Hongyanjiao's poison is already rare, and the medicinal materials required to prepare the antidote are even rarer, plus Zhao Ziyue's body has been eroded by poison for many years, and the foundation ......has long been damaged.
He frowned and sighed slowly, thinking about something else.
In the name of developing the antidote to Hongyanjiao, he has continuously collected a lot of blood from this girl, but he has studied and studied, but he has never been able to grasp the essentials. I couldn't figure out why her blood would be useful to that person in that particular situation, and the contents of her blood were even stranger.
If he doesn't get the point, he'll have to keep finding an excuse to collect blood from this girl.
But the problem is that even though the blood in this girl's body can be endless, the vitality of that girl cannot be kept alive forever.
That person's body is the same as this girl's mother, and she can't wait a few years ......!
If he still can't develop what he needs before his life is gone, won't everyone end up in nothing?
Yao Lao shook his head slightly, preventing himself from continuing to think about the bad things, but he sighed with a calm face and sighed one after another.
Mu Xiaofeng looked at him in a daze, and his mood slowly sank to the bottom in his solid sigh.
For a long time, her heavy heart couldn't be relieved.
In the end, Yao Lao patted his head vigorously with a look of sudden realization, and looked at her with bright eyes. After a long time, he suddenly grinned, "Oh, your mother's situation is not the worst, you don't have to worry too much." Antidote, well, antidote, I'll definitely get it for her as soon as possible. ”
His eyes were too weird, his words flickered and vague, Mu Xiaofeng nodded Muran, looking at his gaze but not believing it.
She felt the need to be skeptical of his words.
"After you go back, try to let your mother worry less and be less sad, and take care of it quietly, so that your body will naturally not continue to deteriorate for the time being."
For the medicine elder to fulfill his responsibilities as a doctor, Mu Xiaofeng only kept nodding his head to indicate that he must humbly remember to follow the instructions.
After a long time, Yao Lao's chatter finally stopped, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as his eyes turned, a touch of cunning quickly turned in his bright eyes,
Chen ...... Yao Lao," the girl suddenly remembered that the man had corrected her name, and blurted out a change, and she blinked her bright eyes, looked at him very earnestly, and said with a pleading tone, "You see, the poison in my mother's relatives cannot be cured in a day or two; In order to cooperate with you in developing the antidote to Hongyanjiao, I am more than happy to contribute a bag of blood every month. ”
When Yao Lao heard this, he looked at her with some surprise, but he didn't talk immediately, but swept his defensive gaze to her face.
"It's just that I have a small request." She smiled faintly and stretched out her finger to compare, "As a doctor, you must know that you need to nourish the lost blood back, and you don't need to keep taking any big supplements." ”
She blinked, and in the eyes of the old man, she said lightly, "It's like precious high-grade red ginseng or something, right?" ”
Yao Lao almost nodded straightforwardly under her earnest eyes, but when he saw her smiling eyes turn to a sly look, his heart moved. Then the beard curled, and when he looked at the girl's gaze again, he was slightly annoyed.
This cunning girl! He almost fell for her fool before he knew it.
Do you want him to admit to dissuade the king from sending red ginseng to Mufu with great fanfare?
Isn't this girl who doesn't know the temper of the king, and the things that the king decides are easy to change her mind after being persuaded by others?
Yao Lao shook his head angrily, and the corner of his eyes involuntarily glanced at a dark corner of the corner.
"If an ordinary person accidentally gets injured and bleeds a little, he will raise this blood for a few days," he looked solemn, and did not directly refuse her, but said, "But you are different, you need to take red ginseng and other nourishing things to replenish the blood, so that the blood can grow faster and better, so that the impact on your body is smaller." ”
Yao Lao's face did not change his color, he lied, and talked eloquently, and he really said this matter as seriously and solemnly as big or small.
Mu Xiaofeng was stunned, then raised his eyebrows and stared at him fixedly, really doubting his words in his heart.
She raised her arms and shook them in front of his eyes, wondering, "Am I different?" How am I different? She also has two arms and two legs, and she doesn't have more eyes or more mouths than others, why does she think what he said is so weird?
As if she suddenly went from a normal person to a three-headed and six-armed monster?
Yao Lao smiled, didn't answer her, raised his eyes and quickly glanced at a corner of the dark, and suddenly asked meaningfully, "To tell you the truth, aren't you curious at all?" ”
If this is a simple delusion, and people have been collecting blood, maybe they will always be stupid and can't believe the slightest suspicion; But this girl is clearly a simple and stupid on the outside, but smart and cunning on the inside, she should have suspected it for a long time, right?
Mu Xiaofeng's heart suddenly tightened, although she didn't know if his words were purely idle chat or tentative, but she couldn't help but respond cautiously.
Implicitly alert glanced at Yao Lao, she shook her head, sat up straight, and replied solemnly, "I'm not curious." "Not curious at all.
Yaoyao Lao was stunned, I really didn't believe that such a big girl didn't have curiosity. It must have been for him, afraid that he would be wary of it.
"Curious?" At this moment, his eyes were shining and he looked at her soft-spoken Yao Lao, like a very tempting and fooled big bad wolf.
The girl glanced at him cautiously, and said very solemnly and sincerely, "Yao Lao, do you see that my heavenly court is full, like a short-lived appearance?" ”
Yao Lao glanced at her forehead, and her forehead was indeed smooth and full. But what does that have to do with the question he asked?
He looked at her blankly, his expression slightly dissatisfied, "I'm not a charlatan's warlock who sets up a stall to tell fortunes for people. ”
The girl smiled and said softly, "Don't be angry, Yao Lao, I don't mean to disrespect you, it's just that I don't feel like a person who has a short life, do you think I'll be curious about things I shouldn't know?" ”
The more curiosity you have, the more you know about other people's secrets, and the more trouble you will cause
