Chapter Twenty-Nine: Desperate Survival
There was an impulse to cry in an instant, and only those who had experienced extreme despair and finally looked forward to hope could understand, Qingjia's heart was full of hope for life. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The door only opened a small slit, and some voices faintly came out, but it was indeed unexpectedly young: "Madam, please go back, my father said that the road is slippery on a rainy day, and he is too old to go out, so please ask another Gao Ming." β
As soon as Qing Jia heard the words of the Ice Cave, he had obviously heard the words countless times today, but he had never been more desperate than at this moment, his body couldn't help but tremble, and his voice was even more choked, like a scared little animal: "Little Master, I also know that my request is difficult for a strong man, but my mother-in-law's condition is really dangerous and cannot be delayed, but this Yixian County is a medical center for you......"
The man seemed to sigh softly in the door, Qing Jia saw that the crack in the door was a little bigger, and he could vaguely see that there was a young man about twenty or so inside, Qing Jia hurriedly lowered his head and begged, "Please......"
Crunchββ
The sound of the friction of the door panel hinge made Qingjia's heart skip a beat, and Qingjia couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this, and looked inside frequently, but it was a pity that it was pitch black and half a person was gone.
The man was dressed in a pale cyan solid robe, Qing Jia stood less than three feet away from him, but there was a faint smell of medicine from his nose, and she recognized this person as the young shopkeeper who was in charge of watching the orders and grabbing the medicine at the counter during the day.
"Father has fallen asleep, there is no possibility of going to the clinic today, madam, it is useless for you to insist."
There is no room for turning around when he says this, but it is obviously summer, but it makes Qingjia cool from the bottom of his heart.
"Sir, if you are sick in your own body, you will not dare to be so reluctant to be with others, but if the elders in the family are different, you are really anxious and hateful. Although Qingjia is a vulgar village woman, she also knows that she should not do to others what she does not want, but now she is indeed desperate, since the old gentleman has rested, then ......" She looked at the pouring rain outside the eaves, her voice was light and thin, and as soon as she exited, she was shattered in the sound of the rain: "...... I didn't dare to bother anymore. β
The man frowned invisibly, the expression on his face was not bad, and then he saw Qing Jiayingying bowing again, and said: "There is no form today, I have to be in love, I am not very grateful." β
After that, he looked at the sky, and couldn't help but sigh, and his heart was undecided. The doctor in Yixian County refuses to go to the doctor, so do you want to try your luck in Huadu? It's just that it's also dozens of miles away from Huadu, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Besides, the doctor in Yixian County still refuses to go to the remote mountain village, let alone Huadu.
Qingjia couldn't help but feel sad, and he didn't know what to do at all. The feeling of exhaustion hit the mountains and seas, and she held back her tears, she didn't want to collapse at this moment.
Since she can't ask for a doctor, she still wants to go back quickly, maybe, maybe Chen's mother has woken up now!
She can only comfort herself in this way, and she doesn't dare to think about how she should face it if she has a case.
It's just that......
Qingjia couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't even have an oil-paper umbrella at hand for such a heavy rain, and he was secretly annoyed by his recklessness, if he waited until the rain stopped and didn't know when he would have to wait, Chen's mother really couldn't wait at all.
Thinking of this, Qingjia gritted her teeth, not knowing that if she ran to the city gate in the rain now, the carriage and donkey cart over there would not be able to leave.
Just when Qing Jia was very entangled, the young shopkeeper who had been silently watching from the side suddenly spoke: "Madam, the heart of the doctor's parents is not my father's iron heart, it is really that he is old, and his body can't stand the fatigue of running around, but saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and it should be ...... if he doesn't save someone who is not my doctor when he dies."
Qingjia couldn't understand what he heard, his face was dazed, he misunderstood what the other party meant, and hurriedly said: "Mr. is serious, I don't have the slightest resentment towards the old man, it's just that it's difficult to walk on this rainy day and night, I really can't rest assured that my mother-in-law at home just wants to go home to take care of it, and I don't have resentment." β
The man bowed his head slightly, and muttered for a long time, as if he was undecided, but he finally made up his mind to Shangqingjia's sincere eyes, and said: "If Madame doesn't dislike it, Xiaosheng is willing to go to the house to see the old lady, but it's just ......" He struggled a little, and said: "The contemptible medical skills are far inferior to my father's, let alone compared with other famous doctors, I just do some bandaging and catching medicine in the museum on weekdays. If the lady is trustworthy, she is willing to go. β
Qing Jia was already dead, but now he was overjoyed when he heard what he said, and nodded hurriedly: "If Mr. can go to see my mother-in-law, it would be really good, Qing Jia is grateful." Although you can rest assured, if there is a difficulty, Mr. will say that it is okay, Qingjia will not be reluctant. β
finally had a turnaround, Qing Jiasheng was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly promised to reassure him, now Chen's mother is unknown at home, and now there is only a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
The man's expression was still very serious, and he only nodded at the moment, and said, "Then please wait for a while, Madame." β
After speaking, he turned around and walked into the medical hall again, Qingjia didn't dare to move, so he could only stand at the door and look inside, and he was also very worried in his heart, worried that he would not return.
It didn't take long for the man to come out of the inner hall, with an extra medicine box on his shoulder, and two paper umbrellas in his hand, one of which was handed to her, and said, "I'll drive the carriage." β
Qingjia was pleasantly surprised, nodded again and again, and said, "That's great, thank you, sir, thank you." β
After about a cup of tea, the young shopkeeper came to the door of the store in a carriage wearing a robe and a hat, looking no different from an ordinary coachman, Qingjia hurriedly climbed into the carriage, even if his clothes were accidentally wet, he couldn't take care of it.
Sitting in the carriage, her heart pounded, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving driftwood at the last moment of sinking to the bottom.
The skeletal carriage shuttled through the heavy rain and soon disappeared into the misty rain.
********
On the way home, the rain gradually stopped, but after the heavy rain in the middle of the night, the potholes and mud on the road were very difficult to walk, it was estimated that the hour was about midnight, and the horses were tired and couldn't stop drooling some saliva in their mouths, and whispered lowly, so it was really not suitable for hurrying.
She had also gone in to see it when she was curious, and there was some hay and wood hidden under the seat of the statue of the god of the land, presumably someone had placed it here for those who passed by to keep warm at night.
The two of them felt that there was no better place to go, so they simply stayed overnight.
The carriage was parked outside the ruined temple, and although it was not rich in water and grass, it was not a problem to provide food for the horses. Qingjia was grateful to the young shopkeeper for coming to the rescue, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he hurriedly ran to the temple to spread the hay on the ground first, and then was busy lighting a fire. After all this was done, the two sat opposite each other around the fire, Qing Jia remembered that there were still two baked cakes sent by the inn little second brother in his sleeve, and he quickly took them out, baked them on the fire, and handed them to the man after heating.
"Sir, it's tiring to drive all the way, let's eat something."
The young shopkeeper took a look, shook his head and declined: "Madam is polite, I have already eaten, don't bother." After a pause, he said: "And don't call me Mr. Mr., I just know a little bit about the skin, where can I afford the name of Mr." The contemptible surname is He, the name is Yingyuan, and the lady doesn't have to be polite, just call me by my name. β
Qing Jia said stupidly: "Where is the sir, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, you are willing to rescue in a critical time, it can be seen that it is the benevolence of the doctor, how can you not be a sir?" I just said that healing and saving people is the noblest act of this time. β
He Yingyuan didn't answer when he heard it, but just smiled faintly, his expression was the same as usual, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.
Qingjia looked at the baked cake in his hand, he was really a little hungry, swallowed his saliva, and finally couldn't resist the hunger, so he lowered his head and took a bite. About the beginning of the more hungry she became, she ate the two baked cakes in a few clicks, and just swallowed the last bite, a small water bladder was handed to her, Qingjia hurriedly thanked her, but He Yingyuan just responded with a chuckle, Qingjia then remembered that she probably ate indecently just now, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He Yingyuan was driving in the rain just now, so his clothes were inevitably soaked by the rain, especially his outer robes, but they were lonely men and widows, and they were in a dilapidated temple together in the middle of the night, although the situation was special, it was really inappropriate. Therefore, even though the robe was already soaked, He Yingyuan did not take it off and bake it over the fire.
Qingjia also knew He Yingyuan's intentions, and he was both guilty and grateful in his heart, and he just ate to fill his stomach and have energy, so he chatted with He Yingyuan, and only then did he know why He Yingyuan had all kinds of concerns in front of him.
Originally, this He Yingyuan's ancestral home is Pingzhou Juhe County, and his family has practiced medicine for generations, and he has followed his father to see and grasp medicine since he was a child, and he was originally very talented, and his father also had very high expectations for him. And he is really angry, he can prescribe a thousand gold prescriptions at the age of eleven or twelve, and he should be a generation of young talents, medical wizards.
Who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances, when he was sixteen years old, the son of the local squire suffered from a dirty disease and went to the Huichun Hall opened by the He family to seek medical treatment.
Originally, after diagnosis and treatment, the condition had been relieved, but who knew that one day, after taking the medicine, the boy suddenly had a high fever, vomited blood and fell into a coma, and died violently after a short time.
The squire Ping Suri was rampant, and in the fish and meat township, how could he take a break when he saw his son dead, so he directly sued He Yingyuan and even the He family medical hall in court with a complaint.
The county commander Ping Suli had a lot of dealings with the squires, and he was basically a raccoon dog, and he was directly sentenced to He Yingyuan's crime if he was unstable.
The He family only has this single seedling in this generation, where can they see him in prison, so they sold their property and raised gold and silver, which rescued He Yingyuan. Later, the family moved and left his hometown to settle in Yixian County, which is thousands of miles away.
Since then, the He family has also plummeted, and it will no longer be as brilliant as it was at the beginning, and He's father was hit hard and fell ill all of a sudden, although he later recovered, but also fell ill with inconvenience. As for He Yingyuan, he has had a knot in his heart since then, and he no longer dares to practice medical consultation, so he can only do some chores on weekdays to grab medicine.
Father He can't take him, he can only follow him, if it weren't for Qingjia's sincere words and sad expression today, it is really pitiful, he probably won't have another day to carry the medicine box.
Qingjia was also very sympathetic to his experience after hearing this, and the two of them even rubbed until dawn if they didn't have a match.
I didn't dare to delay the hour, and after a little repair, I hurried away.
After all, Chen's mother can't wait.
Qingjia looked at the simple medicine box in the carriage, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
