42 Follow-up to the case of the poisonous cow man
These four people are the master of Liuyang County, the two catchers and the two people. They were urgently dispatched by Liuyang County in the middle of the night to Qujia Village to investigate the murder of people and cattle.
He was a middle-aged man, wearing a white scarf and covering his nose and mouth, and first performed an autopsy on the dumb man and then on the bull.
The master is a young man, and he has learned from Qu Dong, who came to report the case, that Yuan Hongzi, the chief pharmacist of Baiyun Temple, has come to the village.
The great pharmacists of Baiyun Temple in the Taoist headquarters are all Tongtian characters who casually enter and leave the noble house, not to mention the chief pharmacist.
With such a big figure here, how dare the master play official power in front of the villagers, and when the two arresters went door to door to ask about the situation, they asked the old patriarch and twenty villagers to press their handprints on the autopsy papers, and left in a hurry.
More than a dozen people from the neighboring villages, including those from Chenjia Village, stood under the big locust tree with various purposes, surrounding the bull and the dumb corpse of the king to look at it.
The old patriarch asked Qu Dong to carry the body of the mute king home to buy a shroud coffin and bury it quickly, and asked the villagers to fetch firewood and burn it on the poisonous corpse of the bull.
Thick, scorching black smoke billowed up, and the fire burned for an hour, and the bull's corpse finally turned to ashes, and the neighboring villagers left.
The head of the village has stopped the dead corpses and burned poisonous cows, which is very unlucky, and no one dares to take a cool seat under the big locust tree since then. The old patriarch sent someone to cut down the big locust tree, and planted a few pear, peach, and orange trees on the diagonal side. That's all for later.
Qu Dong, the owner of the dead bull, came back from the county, first went to the old patriarch's house to report the elimination of the case, and then the old patriarch took him to Qu Yi's house, and saw that Qu Yi almost lost his life, gritted his teeth and promised to compensate three acres of good land worth 35 taels of silver.
Qu Dong's family had already arranged the mourning hall, bought a coffin and filial piety clothes, and waited for him to return, so they simply buried Wang Mu in the cemetery on the mountain behind the village. In the future, every year during the Qingming Festival, the elders will go to the grave, and they will not be able to burn a handful of paper money on the tomb of the king dumb.
According to the rules of the village, wine must be placed for red and white affairs. Wang Dumb died unexpectedly, Qudong's family died of a bull and had to compensate Quyi's family for three acres of land, and the unlucky can no longer be unlucky. The old patriarch deliberately exempted the Qu Dong family from the white banquet.
Li Jingjing passed Yuan Hongzi's strict pharmaceutical exam, and finally got him to recognize his identity as a pharmacist.
At dusk, the sun was setting, and two medicine disciples from Taiqingguan drove an oxcart to bring Li Jingjing a pair of adult sika deer.
The ox cart slowly traveled from the head of the village to the Li family at the end of the village, passing by dozens of houses, and people from every household came to take a look, and Qujia Village became lively again.
The horns of a male sika deer have just been cut. The female sika deer just gave birth to two fawns last year and has not conceived this year.
They were arranged by Li Jingjing to live with a family of three goats.
Li Jingjing took a few friends to take turns to caress the sika deer, and went to Qu Yi's house again, telling Qu Yi about this interesting thing with a bloody face.
"When you're well, we'll feed the deer together."
"Righteous boy, the gentleman from the school is still asking about you today."
"I'll give you a lecture on the class after I get out of school."
There are fewer words than before. The children cried with him.
Qu Yi's father rushed back from the county seat, and he was simple and had no money, so he didn't know how to thank Li Jingjing.
In the evening, he went into the mountains to cut three bundles of firewood, put a few fishing nets into the wild pond and river at night, kept watch all night, set up several fishing net covers, caught six catties of yellow eels, four catties of loaches, and sent them to Li's house the next morning.
"The righteous man is sick and needs to eat a lot of food." Qu's family is in a very poor situation, Qu Yu was abandoned, Qu Yi was seriously ill, Qu Yi's father stopped doing small jobs in the county, and life was hard and difficult. only half of it was accepted, and the other half insisted that Qu Yi's father take it back.
Li Jingjing heard the movement, got up from the bed and opened the window, and saw Qu Yi's father with a bitter face.
She got dressed and ran to the kitchen, afraid of being discovered by the Qu family, so she quietly put only a few small yellow eels and small loaches as thick as chopsticks into the aphrodisiac mansion, and then went to the medicine room and slammed the door tightly.
Her aphrodisiac house had already made ointment for long bones, and the day before yesterday, she just took out the hemostatic powder and burned the powder, which aroused Yuan Hongzi's suspicions, so she didn't take out the ointment for long bones.
Today, she must first pretend to make medicine in the medicine room before she can use it for Qu Yi openly.
A strange and unpleasant smell of medicine wafted from the window of the medicine room, mixed with the smell of breakfast wafting from the kitchen.
He Shi walked under the window of the medicine room and said in a loud voice: "Sister Jing, if you don't eat breakfast, you will be hungry and have a stomachache." ”
Li Jingjing said: "Mother, I have to keep adding water to the medicine jar, as soon as I leave the medicine in the jar, it will be paste." You have breakfast, don't wait for me. ”
Li Laoshi's face was proud, and he smiled with a few Taoist priests: "I don't know what new ointment Sister Jing is making, and I didn't go to the medicine beast pen with Qing Yanzi to feed cows and deer." ”
Three distinguished guests from Baiyun Temple came to the house, and the people who watched the main stone passage specially approved him to accompany the guests at home. He wished that Yuan Hongzi would stay a few more days, so that he could stay with his family for a few more days.
Yuan Hongzi came back from morning exercise outside, smelled a strange smell of medicine that he had never had before, and thought that Li Jingjing had boasted about the medicine for Qu Yi to make raw bones, and sat at the door of the medicine room after breakfast, as long as Li Jingjing opened the door, he went to see her medicine jar.
He originally only stayed in Qujia Village for two days, and left after Li Jingjing finished the exam, but now he has changed his mind and is ready to stay longer.
The main reason for Shitongguan is that it is about to reach the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are too many affairs in the view, so he said goodbye to Yuan Hongzi and returned to Taiqingguan.
Guangming Zi went back to Taiqingguan last night, dealt with the emergency prescriptions in the medicine room, made a few life-saving medicines, and came to Qujia Village this morning to continue to accompany Yuan Hongzi.
The Li family's life has returned to normal since yesterday. Li Quzhi carried a schoolbag to school. Li Yunqing made medicine fields and medicine beast circles. Li Laoshi helped Qu clean up the vegetable patch in the yard.
Li Yunxiao followed He Shi to learn the "Analects", and rested three times halfway, each time he ran very diligently to take Yuan Hongzi's empty teacup to the hall, asked He to fill it with water, and then gave it to Yuan Hongzi, just stood and watched Yuan Hongzi drink a few sips before leaving.
Yuan Hongzi ate a lot of rice noodles in the morning, drank two cups of tea in the morning, and his stomach was full of water.
Who knew that when he came back, the door of the medicine room was wide open, there was no one inside, the firewood on the stove was burning enthusiastically, and there was not even a single medicine residue left in the purple sand medicine jar.
Li Jingjing carried a small basket and trotted with Guangming Zi on the main road in the village with a smile.
"It's a dump of your big brother."
"He's an old stubborn, rigid one. He wants to definitely stop us from using new ointments. If I break my bones to try the effect of a new ointment, when my bones are healed, Qu Yi will miss the best treatment period. ”
"Alas, I thought you wouldn't break your bones and test the medicine if you got the hang of it."
"What is a broken bone test? My elder brother once tried poison powder, which led to lifelong infertility and has been celibate. ”
