It was late at night.

Just after the ugly time, Xia Ruan stepped into his father's yard.

She rushed back from Zhuangzi overnight this time, fortunately there were six sons to drive the carriage, otherwise she would not have come back so quickly.

"Miss? Miss, why are you back? It's too late. Cuiliu looked a little embarrassed, and the whole person looked like she had lost a lot of weight.

Cuiliu heard some movement outside the house, thinking that she had misheard, but she didn't expect Xia Ruan to come back with a group of people.

Suddenly, she felt that her emotions were out of control, and her eyes were red with grievance: "Miss, master, he ...... He ......"

"Have you hired a doctor?" Xia Ruan directly interrupted Cuiliu's words, "What about Doctor Zhou?" ”

Xia Ruan had already heard Wang San talk about this matter on the way.

It's just that what should come will come eventually.

My father has been staying in Huajie all these years, and his body is no longer as good as before, and Dr. Zhou has already mentioned it to him. But he didn't care about it at all, he still went his own way, and didn't take Dr. Zhou's words to heart.

As soon as Aunt Zhou's incident came out, he jumped to his feet even more angrily, and after arguing with his eldest uncle, he didn't even want to go home.

Xia Ruan didn't bother to care about her father's affairs, she knew that it was impossible for her father to change things back in his bones, and her father was now like a terminally ill patient, hopeless.

She hurried back, selfishly speaking, she was actually worried about her mother more.

Cuiliu bit her lower lip, for fear that she would cry, and said slowly: "Dr. Zhou went back to the countryside and said that something happened at home." Miss, why did something happen at this time? I asked Dr. Wu yesterday, but Dr. Wu didn't even look at it. Let the lady prepare the aftermath for the master. ”

Cuiliu couldn't hold back crying anymore after she finished speaking, she just had to think of Madame's haggard face. I felt very uncomfortable. Madame can't think about it, Madame still has a master in her heart.

Xia Ruan frowned. How could it be such a coincidence?

Since she got sick, her most trusted doctor has only been Dr. Zhou, and she won't invite other doctors to come over for consultation these days. She knew that some things could be bought with money, and she felt that the things in this matter did not seem to be as simple as her father's illness.

It was the same in the past, when her father died in a mess, and when she and her mother saw him, they only saw a thin and pitiful corpse.

"Miss. You let me show it to the master. Du Ruo, who was standing behind Xia Ruan, proposed, his voice lowered, "I know a little bit about medical skills. ”

Xia Ruan looked back at Du Ruo and nodded, and then took Du Ruo to his father's house.

Xia Ruan went to Zhuangzi this time, and he was really lucky, as if he had picked up a treasure.

No one thought that the people of the Du family were actually the descendants of Mu Changku, the envoy of the former Imperial Hospital, and the famous medical saint actually survived.

Mu Changkun escaped from the palace in the past, because the country was no longer there. He's a member of the Imperial Hospital. To put it mildly, Mu Changkun thought that he was a remnant of the previous dynasty in the eyes of others, so he could only hide in a small mountain village far away from Kyoto, and changed his name and surname from then on. used Du Changnan's identity to marry a wife and have children.

Mu Changku's medical skills made many people envious, but everyone thought he was dead, so many people in the past sighed: If that Doctor Mu was there. Then maybe there is salvation.

Xia Ruan only felt that Du Ruo's medical skills were superb in the past, but he didn't think about this aspect at all. If it weren't for Du Ming, he asked Du Ruo to tell Xia Ruan about this before leaving. It is estimated that in this life, Xia Ruan will not know the relationship between Lu Daomu Changkun and the Du family.

However, this also made Xia Ruan somewhat grateful, and Du Ming dared to tell her about it. It's nothing more than believing in her from the bottom of my heart. And Du Ming declined the invitation to come to the county town, because the Du family was not allowed to be an official or do business in his life, which was a rule set by the ancestor Mu Changku. This rule is also afraid that the children and grandchildren will be too good and cause trouble. But Du Ming made it clear this time that he wanted to reassure Xia Ruan that Du Ruo and Du Lan's medical skills would not be too bad.

Xia Ruan finally understood that day, why Xiao Jiu was going to find Du Ming, Xiao Jiu must have known some things about Mu Chang, right?

Du Lan took the medicine box and followed behind Du Ruo and Xia Ruan.

As soon as he entered the room, Xia Ruan saw his eldest uncle and eldest aunt standing aside, pretending to be sad, and his mother was sitting at the head of his father's bed at this time, as if he had lost his soul, Xia Ruan sighed secretly in his heart. She is still very angry that her mother didn't die to her father earlier for something, this kind of unilateral dedication will not get happiness at all, but her mother can't listen to her words, just perfunctory and smiles.

The father on the bed had a pale face, and his thin appearance was a little scary, how could it be like this in just a few days?

"Mother?" Xia Ruan walked directly to Li's side and held Li's hands, only to feel that Li's hands were cold and piercing, "You're okay, right?" ”

Li Shi's eyes only regained a trace of clarity at this time, and she raised the corners of her lips and smiled: "You came back so late, are you tired?" ”

Xia Ruan shook his head, turned to Du Ruo and said, "Du Ruo, quickly show my father what kind of disease this is." ”

Xia Fugui and Zhao's faces have always been unsightly, they never thought that Xia Ruan would enter the house, ignore their existence, and dare not salute them. Especially the Zhao family, she was a little uneasy in her heart, where did Xia Ruan bring a group of people from? What exactly does Xia Ruan want to do tonight?

"Stop." Zhao finally couldn't help but scold, she looked at Xia Ruan angrily: "Where did you go to get the wild girl back, you actually dared to let her mess around." ”

Saying that, Zhao cried, looked at Xia Fucheng, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and shouted: "My poor second brother, you are still so young, how can you leave your eldest brother and sister-in-law and go, how can you bear it......"

Xia Ruan sneered, still maintaining her demeanor: "Auntie, my father is not dead yet, what are you doing?" Outsiders don't know what to say, and they really think my father is dead. Du Ruo is the doctor I invited, not a wild girl from the countryside. ”

Zhao looked at Xia Ruan in horror, what did this girl say?

How dare she speak like that.

In the past, Xia Ruan's temperament was the same as Li's, and she was always soft and so soft that people wanted to step on it and trample her to death. is also because of Xia Ruan and Li's temperament. The Zhao family has dared to be so arrogant over the years, but today's Li family and Xia Ruan. It seems to be a little different from the past.

Li turned his head to look at Zhao, and there was more sarcasm in his eyes: "Sister-in-law." My husband won't die. ”

Zhao didn't dare to speak anymore, she had never seen Li like this, and his attitude was so tough. She had to swallow the words that came to her mouth again, and slowly retreated to Xia Fugui's side, but there was resentment in her eyes.

After Du Lan put down the medicine box, Du Ruo walked directly to Li's side, saluted Li, and began to diagnose Xia Fucheng's pulse.

The room was quiet, and the occasional 'crackling' sound of the candle flame could be heard. At this time, no one dared to gasp, for fear that their actions would shock Du Ruo's diagnosis and treatment.

Gradually, Du Ruo's brows furrowed tightly, and there was a bit of solemnity in his expression.

When Li saw Du Ruo like this, she immediately panicked, she opened her mouth to speak, but she was afraid that she would interrupt the result of Du Ruo's pulse diagnosis.

Du Ruo's face turned pale, and she hesitated for a while before she whispered to Xia Ruan, "Third Miss." There are no people waiting in this house, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Fugui no longer pretended to be calm, he almost jumped to his feet: "Where did you come from, and will you diagnose the pulse?" Dr. Wu said that my second brother was not saved. What do you mean by that now? Miscellaneous people, etc.? I saw that you were just an idle person, and where did you come from, and I was bold. ”

"Master, this disease. Somewhat ....... Du Ruo didn't seem to take Xia Fugui's words to heart at all, but just replied lightly.

Du Ruo's voice was soft. But Xia Fugui's face turned pale, and he looked at Du Ruo with some anxiety. It seems that this can guess from this little girl whether what she just said is true or false.

Xia Fugui felt a little uneasy, he never thought that Xia Ruan would rush back overnight, how could she, a little girl who had not yet reached the end of her life, have such courage?

"Uncle, aunt...... Let's go out for the time being, I want to talk to my mother and Du Ruo about my father's condition. Xia Ruan was not polite at all to Xia Fugui, she had long thought that there would be such a day, and the words she said were like nails nailed into the hearts of Xia Fugui and Zhao, "After all, my father also mentioned that I don't want to see my uncle and aunt again." Although these are all angry words, but now my father's condition is too serious to be stimulated in the slightest, so-"

Xia Fugui stared at him with some annoyance, Xia Ruan actually dared to say this to threaten him.

Du Ruo nodded after listening to Xia Ruan's words, and said politely to Xia Fugui: "Uncle, you should go out first, the second master is too sick, and the depression in his heart is not conducive to the second master's body......"

"Bold, where is your place to speak." Xia Fugui roared at Du Ruo, gritted his teeth and said, "I've already asked someone to invite Dr. Wu, I don't need you to mess around here, get out of the house." ”

Xia Ruan wanted to laugh a little, so he couldn't help laughing: "Dare to ask the eldest uncle, how long have you asked people to invite Dr. Wu?" ”

"I went before the hour, about three hours." Cuiliu, who was on the side, hurriedly took over, she actually didn't understand why Xia Ruan wanted to mention this, but just replied, "Miss, Guzi has been gone for three hours." ”

Xia Ruan nodded, there was no politeness in her language, she looked at Xia Fugui and sneered: "It turns out that it takes three hours to go from the Xia family to the Longevity Hall, and people who don't know the way of the road still think that the Xia family has moved to the countryside." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cuiliu took a step back in fright, and Li raised his head with a frightened look.

Everyone in the house knows that the Xia family's house is a place for rich and noble families to live in Dongyang County. From this place to the medical hall, it only takes about half an hour to go back and forth, how can you walk out of three hours. (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
