Chapter 18: A Chance Encounter on the Road
A white horse galloped happily on the muddy and snow-covered gallop road, and when the horse ran, it seemed to have its own golden light, fluttering with the pace of the horse's hooves, making the white horse even more powerful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It was already noon, and the people and horses had not rested, and the old man Pan and Shu Lao Er who were driving took turns eating some freeze-dried food, and at this time the old man Pan was feeding Qinglan water in the car. He has long-term experience in serving patients, and he also takes care of several grandchildren when they are sick, so Shu Lao Er invited him in to take care of Qinglan, and he also felt sorry for Old Man Pan, who was still bumpy for his granddaughter at such an age, and it was too cold outside!
It is said that the snow is not cold and the snow is cold, and the ancestors are really not deceiving!
Today, the sun is shining, but the wind is still very strong, counting the nine cold days galloping on the road, the cold wind is drilling into the seams of the clothes, as if I want to blow people off the car! Although Shu Lao Er was wearing a scarf, part of his bare skin was still shaved red, his nose and eyebrows were all frozen, and he could only rely on his mouth to pant for breath.
The sun began to turn west, and Shu Lao Er was a little anxious, afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the provincial capital before closing the city gate. Although the snow was very difficult to walk, fortunately there were not many pedestrians, so he sped up.
After Linzi, there is a mountain in front, called Phoenix Mountain, now the mountain is full of snow, and the sun shines a little golden dazzling. Xu has too many curves, and the snow has been seen for too long, so Shu Laoer's eyes are slightly uncomfortable. He grabbed the reins in one hand and took off his gloves and rubbed his eyes with the other. After a while, I was in a trance, and I heard the sound of the horse stepping on the mud and snow, gradually approaching him.
Shu Lao Er hurriedly looked up at the person, made a big turn, and faced a two-wheel drive carriage. The carriage was also very fast, and the two sides, who had not had time to slow down, immediately reined in their horses and almost crashed into each other.
The necks of the two horses staggered in the air, and they could avoid each other, and Shu Lao Er broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly stopped his horse and quickly turned around to check whether Old Man Pan and Qinglan in the carriage were okay.
The coachman driving the car on the opposite side was already stunned, he was not familiar with this road, if it weren't for the long hand of the Zhao guard next to him, and he pulled the horse hard, he didn't know what terrible consequences would be!
Chief Zhao jumped out of the car with a serious face, walked to the carriage window and clenched his fists and asked, "Gongzi and Master Qin are all right?" ”
The old and the young in the car slowed down and opened the curtains.
The little boy looked like he had dry stools, and he was very unhappy: It's okay to be a ghost! Look at the master! It's all dregs of dim sum!
It turned out that the little boy was eating dim sum with relish in the car just now, and he braked suddenly, and the dim sum was on the placket.
"What's going on?" The little boy asked, and the child's voice was clear.
"My subordinates were derelict in their duties and almost hit someone." Chief Zhao was indeed derelict in his duties, and he was absent-minded and even a little anxious all the way.
He was originally a lieutenant colonel and had been serving at the border. Later, his immediate boss made a mistake and was demoted, and he was also implicated and had to return to the capital to find a way out. Later, he became a guard of the Hou Mansion, mainly protecting the thirteen sons of the Hou Mansion who lived in the Hou Mansion.
This time, the thirteenth prince returned to Jinan Mansion with Imperial Physician Qin to visit relatives, and he was an accompanying bodyguard. If it were another guard, he would naturally be happy to take on this kind of errand, but such a day is really fucked up for him, a hot-blooded man who is twenty-seven or eighteen years old and bent on serving the country and establishing military merits! Every day is to accompany a little boy to eat, drink, play and hang out, and if this continues, he feels that he is about to become a wine bag and rice bag with nothing to do!
But now he is just a small captain of the guard, and the ideals and ambitions of a soldier are getting farther and farther away from him, and this thirteenth prince is said to be not small, even the Hou Ye is very ... He didn't want to lose his job, but he didn't want to continue to be a nanny like this, so he frowned along the way, thinking about how he could find a better way out.
Through this period of getting along, he already has a rough guess about the identity of this thirteenth prince. On the one hand, he was happy to have such an opportunity to be by this person's side, but on the other hand, he was disappointed by the current age of the Thirteenth Prince: he was too young! The chances of getting yourself back to the barracks right away are almost nil... If you could try it in 10 years, it's too early to say anything, but in 10 years...
Chief Zhao was thinking about his own thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, the road conditions that should have been discovered early were blocked by him and the mountain.
And then the golden, brown and white-haired horse that suddenly appeared, made Guard Zhao straighten his eyes, and he seemed to have returned to the military camp that he thought about day and night in an instant, and returned to the battlefield that made his blood boil.
Good horses are needed to fight wars, and sergeants also love horses, and the only hobby after Captain Zhao retired from the army was horse running, and it seemed that only in this way could he regain his missing fighting spirit. He could see that this was a three-year-old horse, which was the best stage of training, and it was certainly not a Kannai horse breed.
The thirteenth prince followed the eyes of the chief of the guard Zhao, and fell in love with the big gold at a glance, which is really heroic! The tail and mane were golden, tall and muscular, and he was impatiently spraying mist in the snow and raising his head proudly.
Good horse! It's beautiful! Worthy of the master!
Thirteen looked at the starry eyes, but... How do you open this mouth?
Thirteen is not bad for money, although this trip was begged by his eldest brother and father with a dead face, but he still gained a lot of travel money before he came, his brother 2,000, his mother 2,000, and his father was even more generous, giving a full 10,000! The silver ticket of 10,000 taels~~~ Thirteen is the first time to get it, and I think I will come out often in the future, it's a trip to make a fortune! Besides, he didn't need to spend his own money on food, clothing, food, housing and transportation on the road and after arriving at Qin's house, even if he went to the street to buy and buy, the Qin family paid for it, so he is a real rich man now!
The most important thing is that he doesn't have a horse of his own now, as a standard master, how can he not have a horse that pulls the wind! The horse in front of him, he likes it very much! Thirteen lowered his head and thought about it.
At this time, Old Man Pan had already gotten out of the car, and he and Shu Lao Er stepped forward.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, and I'm rushing into you." Shu Lao Er said, "I don't know what's in the car... Are you okay? ”
Chief Zhao took his eyes off the big gold with difficulty, and saw that the person who spoke was a man about the same age as himself, handsome, and gentle and polite.
"It's okay, it's okay." Chief Zhao replied, and couldn't help but praise after speaking: "Your Excellency's horse is really chic and extraordinary!" "He's so rare about this horse! His eyes burned with a strong love for hima!
"Oh, this is my uncle's horse, which he brought back when he went to the prairie in the summer." Shu Lao Er told the truth, and he also saw it, this Zhao guard chief was afraid that he had taken a fancy to the big gold, and he couldn't be the master, what if the other party slandered him because of horses.
"Good horse, good horse" Chief Zhao's gaze continued to sweep the big gold, and his eyes seemed to glow.
Old Man Pan saw that the man who couldn't stop praising the horse was afraid that he had seen blood, and he couldn't hide his evil spirit. He has been traveling south and north for so many years, and he still has a little bit of accuracy in looking at people. I feel a little apprehensive in my heart, this can be regarded as a hard stubble, right? Old Man Pan cheered up and walked towards the other party's carriage.
Whether it is the selection of materials or workmanship, this carriage is far from being comparable to its own carriage, the carved blessing window, the double open plum blossom door, all show the wealth and elegance of the owner.
It's not an ordinary person! Old Man Pan's heart was tight.
Shu Lao Er followed, and he guessed that the one sitting in the carriage should be the main owner, or negotiate with the main owner.
As soon as he took two steps, the pair of plum blossom wooden doors opened, and the coachman immediately handed over the footstool, and an elderly man in his fifties got out of the car, he turned sideways, and a boy of six or seven years old jumped out of the car.
Old Man Pan and Old Man Shu stepped forward to salute, in terms of dealing with people, Old Man Pan is obviously more sophisticated.
"I'm sorry, there is an urgent patient at home, and I am in a hurry to rush and bump into you. I also asked my husband to leave his address and visit the little old man another day. ”
The old man's temples were slightly white, his face was round, he had a goatee, the corners of his eyes were slightly drooping, and his eyes were very sharp. He glanced at Old Man Pan and Old Man Shu, and was about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him.
Old Man Pan and Shu Lao Er also looked back, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy came on horseback, with a red forehead and a red cloak lining the young man extraordinarily handsome, and there were four people dressed as family members behind him, also riding horses.
"Second uncle! How to stop here? The young man asked anxiously as he dismounted, it turned out that the young man was the nephew of the old man in front of him, "What happened?" "That boy is really impatient.
The old man who was called the second uncle waved his hand and said to the old man Pan: "It's okay, the snow road is difficult, and some stumbling is inevitable, where are you going?" ”
"Jinan Mansion", Mr. Pan thought of his granddaughter, and his worries came from it.
Shu Lao Er thinks that his sense of smell is more sensitive than others, he seems to smell a faint medicinal fragrance, is there something wrong with his nose? In fact, Old Man Pan also smelled it, he thought it was brought by Shu Lao Er, after all, Qinglan and Mingyu were taking medicine.
"We're coming from Jinan!" The young man said happily: "The snow is slippery, but it is very difficult to walk!" "I arrived in Linzi at noon, and I hurried forward after a light meal, if he hadn't just gone to inquire about directions, he wouldn't have caught up now, if he was there, he wouldn't let the second uncle encounter this kind of thing! The boy thought confidently.
Old Man Pan and Second Brother Shu sighed in unison when they heard this, and they became even more sad.
"Why did you go to Jinan Mansion?" The boy was a curious baby.
"My granddaughter has a sudden illness..."Old man Pan wanted to speak and stopped, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and he could not save face for his son-in-law in front of outsiders.
"Then which doctor are you going to find in Jinan Mansion?" The young man's focus was obviously not that, and the rest of the people seemed to know the answer, as if they wanted to be praised.
"Doctor Yu of Deyi Hall." Shu Lao Er thought that he had said the wrong thing, and as soon as these words came out, the other party's face changed significantly.
"Then the old man is eighty years old, can he still see the disease?" The boy scoffed.
Old Man Pan and Old Man Shu glanced at each other, not knowing how to answer.
"Wen Guang! Hugh is nonsense! "When Old Master Qin changed his face, he was still quite intimidating.
"Second uncle!" The young man was not convinced, and retorted: "I am telling the truth! How many years has the old man not been out to see a doctor! ”
The young man's words made Old Man Pan and Old Man Shu more and more disheartened.
Old Man Pan was the first to come back to his senses, "I haven't asked you what to call it?" ”
The young man raised his chin and proudly introduced everyone: "My family name is Qin, my family lives in Jinan, this is my second uncle, this is the thirteenth young master, my name is Qin Wenguang, this is the Zhao guard chief of the Hou Mansion." ”
"The contemptible surname is Pan", the old man Pan reported to his home, "This is the second aunt of the contemptible people, her granddaughter and her father, surnamed Shu Xiao Nian." ”
"What's wrong with your granddaughter?" Qin Wenguang asked casually, he had recently achieved a little success in medical skills, and it was when he was interested in the disease that he heard that someone had an incurable disease, and his heart was itching.
"This..."Master Pan was a little embarrassed, if he delayed like this, he really wouldn't be able to enter the city tonight!
Second Master Qin thought it was an incurable disease, and it was difficult to describe, and in an instant, he committed an occupational disease: "It's okay, you speak slowly." ”
It's okay for you! Lao Tzu wants to hurry! Shu Laoer, who has always been gentle and moderate, wants to burst into foul language.
Before Old Man Pan could speak, Qin Wenguang hurriedly said: "You go to the doctor, why don't you take the patient with you!" What a delay! ”
"Bring it, bring it, it's in the car." Shu Lao Er hurriedly replied, what kind of people did they meet?
As soon as the words fell, the Qin family boy and the thirteenth young master walked quickly to the oil canopy carriage and opened the curtain with a bang.
(Shu Lao Er: Do you see a doctor as a little fart?) )
A little girl lay there quietly.
The white face is bloodless, you can see the pale cyan blood vessels through the skin, the long eyelashes are like open feather fans, the high small nose bridge, the thickness of the nose is moderate, and although the mouth is closed, the corners of the mouth are still a little upward curve.
Thirteen: What happened to her? (Shu Lao Er: If you don't know how to be a doctor, what kind of fun are you coming to join in!) )
Qin Wenguang: Why does it look familiar? (Shu Lao Er: .... Is this the first thing that should be paid attention to for patients? Do you still have a bit of a work ethic? )
Qin Wenguang pulled Qinglan's sleeve and touched the pulse. Old Man Pan and Old Man Shu looked at each other, how old is he... Will you also check the pulse?
A few minutes later, Qin Wenguang looked at his second uncle with a frown.
Second Master Qin glanced at his nephew: Shame, right? If you are not good at learning art, you dare to show off everywhere!
Qin Wenguang gave a look: Second uncle, seriously ill, there is a problem!
(Qinglan: I'm not a guinea pig!) )
Second Master Qin touched Qinglan's vein, and he didn't say anything for a long time, it was quiet in the snow, and even a few horses were quietly no longer digging their hooves.
"Master Qin..."Old Man Pan already had some guesses about the identities of the uncle and nephew in front of him, "My granddaughter..."
"It's okay," as soon as Second Master Qin's voice fell, Second Brother's tears overflowed uncontrollably, "I can cure my granddaughter's illness." ”
Old Man Pan and Shu Lao Er were speechless with excitement for a while,
Qin Wenguang looked at their expressions and was very satisfied: "My second uncle said that it can be cured, it will definitely be cured!" He's the judge of the hospital! ”
It really was him! The question in Old Man Pan's heart was confirmed, and his heart became more steady, "Then, then let's..."
Imperial Physician Qin looked at the Thirteenth Prince.
The little boy nodded, anyway, he came out to play, and he would go to Ding's house in two days. And... He glanced at the big gold again.
(Big Gold: Why is it a little cold all of a sudden...) )
"Where is your home?" Since he decided to treat others, he naturally had to ask clearly, and Qin Wenguang was unceremoniously.
"Weixian...
"Hah! We're going to Weixian too! Coincidentally, let's go! Before Shu Lao Er finished speaking, Qin Wenguang said with a smile.
Shu Lao Er and Old Man Pan were overjoyed, and the group quickly drove east.
