Chapter 154: Selling Yourself to Her
Lin Zongyao had already noticed Liu Muxi.
Although Linjiazhuang is a huge village, even if not everyone is very familiar with it, they basically know it.
In this case, an outsider from the village will be very eye-catching.
What's more, Liu Muxi has an excellent appearance and temperament, and it is definitely not easy to be ignored. In fact, it can be said that when Liu Muxi stepped into Linjiazhuang, it attracted the attention of many people.
However, only Lin Zongyao came up to ask.
Lin Zongyao was not a nosy person at all, but when he saw Liu Muxi, he suddenly had an urge to come forward and ask, as if he would regret it if he didn't do it.
And when Liu Muxi really turned his head to look at him, Lin Zongyao's heart was like a flash of lightning, and he suddenly remembered a possibility, and his eyes suddenly lit up, but then, his eyes dimmed again.
What is that person, and what is he? How could she have traveled all the way because of her letter.
It's incredible.
Thinking of his genius brother who had completely become a waste, a trace of bitterness rose in Lin Zongyao's heart.
With Liu Muxi's observation, he naturally discovered the change in Lin Zongyao's expression.
From the surprise at the beginning, to the excitement, and then to the gloom and self-deprecation, all of them were under Liu Muxi's eyes.
Seeing himself for the first time, he unexpectedly revealed such complex emotions, Liu Muxi felt interesting in his heart, but his face was not revealed, and he bowed his head slightly: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, this is Linjiazhuang"
"Exactly." Lin Zongyao said succinctly, although he had a good impression of Liu Muxi, he was instinctively a little wary of outsiders.
"Then Brother Tai, do you know where Lin Zongyao's home is?" Liu Muxi asked.
Lin Zongyao saw that she was actually asking for her name, and his eyes when he looked at Liu Muxi suddenly sharpened, and his heart was even more vigilant than just now.
He looked at Liu Muxi coldly, and Liu Muxi looked at him calmly.
Lin Zongyao saw that Liu Muxi did not have the slightest weakness and evasion, and looked at him with a frank smile, the guard in his heart was lowered a lot, his face showed a trace of surprise, and at the same time, a trace of hope rose in his heart, and asked tentatively: "What is the girl looking for Lin Zongyao?" ”
Liu Muxi saw Lin Zongyao's eyes light up again, and even faintly had a hint of expectation, and suddenly he had a little bit of a clear idea of his identity.
She observed him without a trace, and found that although he was in shabby clothes, he had a good appearance, his cultivation had reached the middle of the day after tomorrow, and most importantly, he was carrying a basket behind him, which contained all kinds of herbs, and she was a little more sure of his identity.
Liu Muxi wanted to tease him a few more words, but when he saw Lin Zongyao's expectant expression, he couldn't bear it, so he said: "I am a doctor, Lin Zongyao asked me to treat his brother, so I came." ”
When Lin Zongyao heard this, he was stunned.
He couldn't believe his ears, he just looked at Liu Muxi blankly, and there was only one sentence in his head that kept circulating-
She's coming, she's really coming......
He suddenly had the feeling that he was in a dream.
When this day really came, he had a sense of unreality.
It wasn't until a long time before he woke up, but his expression was still a little dazed.
He had no doubt that he had recognized the wrong person.
The surrounding medical halls, they have already seen it. Even, because of the lack of money, there is no doctor willing to come to the door. My younger brother's illness has always been supported by him going up the mountain to collect medicine.
In the past month, he has only thanked Liu Muxi for seeking medical advice. Moreover, it was written in a desperate situation, with the last glimmer of hope, and I never had the luxury of asking in my heart that she would really come.
Because before writing a letter to Liu Muxi, he had also written a letter to Qingmengzhai, but unfortunately, that letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no more news.
With Qingmengzhai's style, if they really come, there will be a lot of pomp and movement, and I can't wait for the whole Shizhou to know the Tao, and they will definitely not come quietly like Liu Muxi.
"You...... You're really Liu ...... Liu ......" Lin Zongyao was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
"It's me!" Liu Muxi interrupted him, looked around slightly, and nodded slightly.
Liu Muxi knows very well that there are many people watching her, both openly and secretly, so she must be cautious.
Lin Zongyao is also a transparent person, and he also suppressed his excitement and gratitude, trying to make himself look the same as usual.
He knew the identity of Liu Muxi, and it was indeed inappropriate to expose it. In addition to the discord between Qingmengzhai and Pujiguan, there is another point, Liu Muxi is too famous now.
Even their Lin Jiazhuang knows who Liu Muxi is, and there are even many girls who talk about Liu Muxi all day long, making unrealistic dreams, looking forward to one day, they will be able to marry a big person, so as to soar to the sky.
If someone knows that Liu Muxi has arrived in Linjiazhuang, Liu Muxi may not be more peaceful than he thinks.
"Divine doctor, please come with me!" Lin Zongyao only said this sentence, so he didn't say anything more, and silently led the way for Liu Muxi in front.
Liu Muxi followed Lin Zongyao to a very old courtyard, this small courtyard is fenced, so you can see the scene inside at a glance, the house has been around for a few years, mottled, the yard is very large, but it is bare and desolate inside, and weeds can be seen somewhere, as if no one has lived in it for a long time.
Moreover, the buildings in this area are very old, as if they are all abandoned houses.
Lin Zongyao saw Liu Muxi looking at the courtyard, and explained with a somewhat complicated expression: "This used to be an old mansion, which has been abandoned for a long time, in order to treat my younger brother's illness, we sold the newly built Erjin Courtyard and moved here. ”
In the past, their family was also above the middle level in Linjiazhuang, especially after the birth of their younger brother, their prestige was greatly improved, but now, they have become the most embarrassed family in the village.
If he said that he was not unwilling in his heart, he himself did not believe it.
As long as the younger brother can get better, their family will definitely be able to regain its former glory.
"Dad, mother, I'm back!" After Lin Zongyao entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly, with a trace of irrepressible excitement on his face.
A gray-haired woman came out of the room, and when she saw Lin Zongyao, a loving smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Yao'er, are you back...... Hey, this girl is ......"
Cao Shi looked at Liu Muxi, and there was inevitably a trace of surprise in her eyes, she can be regarded as somewhat knowledgeable, but she has never seen such an outstanding person.
Even the disciple of Qingmengzhai who I saw by chance when I was a child was not as good as the person in front of me.
Lin Zongyao didn't plan to tell his parents about Liu Muxi's identity, but just said: "Mother, this is Miss Liu, and I specially invited the miracle doctor for my younger brother." ”
He saw a hint of hesitation on Cao's face, so he explained: "Miss Liu has superb medical skills and a benevolent doctor, and after learning about our family's situation, she specially came to treat her younger brother's illness." ”
When Cao Shi heard this, he was grateful and excited, his eyes were slightly red, and he stepped forward to take Liu Muxi's hand and said, "Miss Liu, thank you for coming!" Whether you can cure the dog or not, we are already grateful if you have this heart. ”
It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.
In the past, when the Lin family was wealthy, everyone was willing to be friends with their own family. It's a pity that when their family falls, everyone hides far away, for fear that they will ask them for help.
And this Liu girl was willing to help them for no reason, which made Cao's heart very moved.
However, in her heart, she was not optimistic that this Liu girl could cure her son.
Still, she is very grateful to her.
"My aunt is serious, I am a doctor, and I should have saved the dead and helped the wounded. What's more, I don't want to see it, thinking that a martial arts genius will die like this. Rest assured, no matter what, I will do my best to treat the patient. Liu Muxi also said seriously.
"Good, good, good!" Cao's heart was moved, but he just choked and patted Liu Muxi's hand, but he couldn't say anything else.
Cao is already in her fifties, but she is a strong person in the middle of the congenital stage, she shouldn't be so old anyway, in fact, a few months ago, she was still a charming woman, but the sudden disaster made her old all of a sudden.
"Mother, where is Dad?" Lin Zongqi asked.
Cao sighed lightly and said, "Your father went to the owner." ”
Lin Zongyao's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Dad went to borrow money from the owner again?" ”
Cao nodded silently.
This is also a matter of no choice, their family is almost unable to open the pot, but Qi'er is still seriously ill and has to ask a doctor for medicine, how can they not borrow money?
The mood of the mother and son was low again.
"Patronizing and talking, but ignoring Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu, please come inside! Cao came back to his senses and immediately said to Liu Muxi.
Thinking that Liu Muxi had already come, and the younger brother's illness might be saved, Lin Zongyao's face finally showed a hint of brilliance, and he looked at Liu Muxi expectantly.
Cao asked Liu Muxi to drink water, but Liu Muxi excused himself and said: "I'd better see the patient first, after all, the condition can't be delayed." ”
The Cao family and Lin Zongyao naturally did not agree, and led Liu Muxi to the inner room.
The room was a little dim, with only a bed, a bedside table, and a chair. There was a person lying in it on the bed, and when he heard the movement, he didn't look back, and said directly: "I said, don't talk to me for a doctor, don't waste money on me, my body can't get better, you just let me die." ”
Cao and Lin Zongyao had heard this kind of thing countless times, but at this time, they still felt sad in their hearts.
However, they have already persuaded what should be persuaded, and it is useless to say anything at this time.
Lin Zongyao said to Liu Muxi with a wry smile: "He has committed suicide several times, if we hadn't found out earlier, I'm afraid he would have been dead by now." ”
Cao Shi also said to Liu Muxi: "Then please ask Doctor Liu." ”
Liu Muxi comforted the two and walked to the bed.
Lin Zongyao and Cao's eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Muxi's body.
Although Cao didn't believe that Liu Muxi could cure her son, she still had a glimmer of hope for her, hoping that a miracle would happen.
And Lin Zongyao has much confidence in Liu Muxi, but he is mostly excited in his heart.
When Lin Zongqi heard Liu Muxi approaching, he didn't turn over, and said directly: "I'm very grateful that you can come to treat me, you better go, my illness can't be cured, why bother to humiliate yourself?" ”
"Whether it can be saved or not, only I have tried it myself to know the way. If others can't cure the disease, I can't cure it. After Liu Muxi finished speaking, he went to explore his pulse.
Lin Zongqi turned over irritably, and was about to say a few more sarcastic words, when suddenly his whole body couldn't move, he couldn't help but glare at Liu Muxi angrily, but he was dazzled by her appearance, and lost his mind for a moment.
At this moment, Liu Muxi had already probed his pulse, and it took a while to put down his hand.
Lin Zongqi had also come back to his senses at this time, thinking that he had looked at her for a while, his face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help but stare at Liu Muxi fiercely.
"Doctor Liu, can my brother's illness still be cured?"
Seeing that Liu Muxi withdrew his hand, Lin Zongyao couldn't wait to ask.
Cao also stared at Liu Muxi eagerly.
Liu Muxi was about to speak, but he heard Lin Zongqi suddenly say mockingly: "How is it?" You can't cure my disease, can you? I knew that would be the case. How many doctors are helpless, let alone you? I don't think you should waste time on me, so you might as well go back early! ”
When Liu Muxi heard this, he smiled and said, "How come?" Your illness, for me, is simply a gesture, the easiest, and I don't know why so many people can't cure your illness. ”
When the three of them heard Liu Muxi's words, they froze for a moment and looked at her in disbelief.
Even Lin Zongyao, who knew her identity and had great hopes for her, was stunned.
What did she say?
Can the younger brother's illness be cured? And it's a gesture? This...... How is this possible?
Cao Shi even asked, "Doctor Liu, ...... you Are you telling the truth? Can my son's illness really be cured? You didn't lie to me, did you? ”
Lin Zongqi came back to his senses, but he objected fiercely: "Mother, big brother, don't listen to her nonsense, I don't believe what she said." How old is she, how can she cure me? My dantian has been destroyed? Even the divine doctor of Pujiguan can't cure it, how can she have the ability? Don't let him fool you. ”
"Little brother, Hugh is talking nonsense! I believe that Doctor Liu will never lie to us. Since she said she could heal, there must be a way to cure you. Lin Zongyao reprimanded angrily.
With Liu Muxi's identity, there was no need to lie to them at all, Lin Zongyao persuaded himself to believe Liu Muxi.
Lin Zongqi looked at Liu Muxi angrily, stopped talking, and his face was full of distrust.
Seeing this, Liu Muxi couldn't help but smile and said, "Your condition is not as serious as it seems. The reason why your dantian was destroyed was because you were poisoned, which made your dantian corroded, and although it was hit hard by a person later, that person's cultivation was not enough, and it did not completely destroy your dantian, so that your dantian retained a trace of vitality. ”
Lin Zongqi looked at Liu Muxi dumbfounded, what did she mean, his dantian, is this really still saved?
Sure enough, Liu Muxi said again: "As long as you get rid of the poison in your body, I will apply needles to repair your dantian, and then, and then use medicinal materials to warm yang dantian, in less than a month, your dantian will definitely be restored as before." ”
"You...... You say it's all true? Lin Zongqi asked in disbelief, and at the same time, he looked at Liu Muxi without blinking, for fear that she was just joking with herself, because she was so excited, his body began to tremble slightly.
Before Liu Muxi could speak, she saw Cao Shi kneeling in front of her with a bang, and kowtowed to her: "Doctor Liu, please save him, I will kowtow to you." ”
Seeing this, Lin Zongyao also immediately knelt down.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up, I said I would save him, and I will definitely save him, aren't you tormenting me? Liu Muxi stepped forward to support the two
The two insisted on kowtowing to Liu Muxi again, and then stood up with red eyes.
Lin Zongqi is the hope of their family, as long as he can be cured, what is the point of kowtowing a few times?
Lin Zongqi's acupuncture points were still lit, and he couldn't move, seeing his mother and eldest brother kneeling, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, and his eyes were red.
For the sake of him, the mother and the eldest brother have knelt down for many times.
He really doesn't deserve it!
He clenched his fists tightly, if he could still cultivate like before, how could his family be so low-voiced and undignified
He wants to live! He wanted to be the pride of his family again, so that they would never be wronged again.
Lin Zongqi's expression slowly became firm, he looked at Liu Muxi, and asked word by word, "Can you really cure me?" ”
Liu Muxi nodded.
"Well, if you can cure me, I will be a cow and a horse for you for the rest of my life, be loyal to you, and never break my word!" Lin Zongqi's eyes showed a determined light, he must not give up on himself anymore.
Even if he is a dog for people, he wants to make a good life for his family.
Seeing this, Cao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Zongyao and shook his head lightly at her.
If the younger brother can follow Doctor Liu to do things, it will also be a great creation.
Cao didn't understand this, and sighed slightly, but he still didn't say anything after all.
Liu Muxi said: "What do I want you to do as a cow and a horse?" Relax, and I'll heal you. ”
Lin Zongqi said: "It's your business to save me, I want to repay you, it's my business, and the two can't be confused." ”
Even if Liu Muxi is a doctor, there is no reason to save them for no reason. They can't take other people's kindness for granted.
Their family had no consultation fee to pay her, so he had no choice but to sell himself.
Liu Muxi didn't know what Lin Zongqi thought, took out a pen and paper, wrote a pair of prescriptions and handed them to Lin Zongqi, and gave him two ingots of gold, saying, "You go to the pharmacy in the town to get the medicine according to the prescription." ”
Lin Zongyao did not refuse the gold, their family really couldn't afford to buy medicinal materials, so they could only keep her kindness in their hearts.
