3. Chapter 3

Why did Yi Cui always remember the appearance of the little girl, because in the mass grave in the barren mountains and mountains, he was exhausted by flight and hunger, and he couldn't bear the little girl's rather savage bloodletting and poisoning, and he lost blood and fell into a coma.

When he woke up again, it was early the next morning, and there was no one else in the cabin but him. When Yi Cui was uneasy and wanted to force himself out to look for it, Yan Zhao came back alone in frustration, saying that the little girl was accidentally taken away by a wolf because she went out at night to find herbs for Yi Cui to cure poison.

Yan Zhao said this because he found the footprints and hair of the suspected wolf, as well as the oil lamp thrown by the little girl, and he searched aimlessly in the forest for a long time but did not find it, so he naturally thought that she had been taken away. Because of the poison of Itsuri's injury, the two had to set off early to find the real doctor, and they fled penniless, coveting the little girl's silver chopsticks for a long time, but finally failed to take it against their will, leaving a note of farewell without hope, and then fled all the way south. It costs money to find a doctor and eat, Yi Cui reluctantly took the only jade pendant left by his mother, Yan Zhao went to work as a short-term coolie for the landlord's family, and the two teenagers slept in the open air, and finally settled down in Nanqiao, southeast of Chuzhou.

"Those quacks, they can't even tell that you have been poisoned by arrow, they are not as good as a little girl. If she were alive, she might be able to heal your legs. Yan Zhao sighed.

Yi Cui said: "If she is alive and finally comes back from looking for medicine only to find that we have not said goodbye, she must be very angry, and she must accuse us of being ungrateful first." ”

Yan Zhao was stunned and scratched his head: "That's forced by the situation, the little girl is well-behaved and kind, how can it be like this." ”

Itsuri smiled. He couldn't return to Nanqiao tonight, and he needed to stay in Quanjiao for many days to raise food and grass, and then rushed to Lai'an in a neighboring county, where Mr. Xue Da, who lived in seclusion and was closed in his hometown, needed him to invite.

"When Mr. Xue Da was a jinshi, my grandfather was the main examiner at that time, although the Yi family no longer exists, but if I ask as a descendant of the Yi family, he should still give me some face." The car drove to Lai'an Village outside Lai'an City, the farmland was longitudinal and horizontal, the dirt road was narrow and rugged, and the carriage could not move forward, so Yi Cui had to get out of the car with the help of a cane and follow Yan Zhao to Xue's house with difficulty.

"Although my Yan clan is scattered, my reputation back then was no worse than your Yi clan," Yan Zhao snorted twice, expressing his disbelief, "Why did you tell me not to report my family when I came two times ago?" ”

"Mr. Xue Da has been an official in Jing for three times and three out, and he has been depressed for many years, but he is famous for broadcasting all over the world. This year, he should be forty-five, and his mood is depressed, and he is by no means a person who goes out of the mountains lightly. If you come for the first time and report that you are a descendant of the Yan family, it is estimated that he will not only not receive you, but will think that you are acting frivolously and impetuously, even if your identity is true, you are also a loser who insults the reputation of the Yan family. ”

Yan Zhao opened his mouth wide and looked at Yi Cui for a long time: "There are so many twists and turns of literati, I don't understand these ways, anyway, I know that listening to you will not be wrong." ”

While the two were talking, they had seen the lush bamboo forest behind the Xue family's house, and the two courtyards with white walls and blue tiles stood out in Lai'an Village, which was mostly loess thatched houses, and showed the owner's taste with elegant and quiet layout.

However, this time Itsui was wrong, and even if he went out in person, it wouldn't be of much use.

"No, my husband is nowhere to be seen!" The boy who opened the door looked irritable, not afraid of people coming with weapons and retinues, waving his hand to drive people away.

Yan Zhao glanced at Yi Cui, and the meaning of ridicule in his eyes was obvious. Yi Cui didn't have time to be embarrassed, just thinking that the boy's reaction in front of him was too violent, and he was abnormal. He thought about it for a while, and suddenly let out a sneer: "Xue Ji has such a big face, I think it is because I see that Yan Ye and I are all full of people, and they are jealous of the court, so I can't avoid them, so I want to protect my life!" Mr. Xue Da's talent and virtue turned out to be nothing more than that! ”

"My husband is not that kind of person!" The boy was immature and couldn't withstand Yi Cui's agitation, so he clenched his fists and glared at him angrily, but when he stared, the boy's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head to wipe his tears and cried: "My husband is real...... Whining...... I'm really sick and can't get out of bed to see guests. ”

Is Xue Ji really sick? Yan Zhao and Yi Cui glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise in each other's eyes, Yan Zhao said with concern: "Can you ask a good doctor to treat Mr. Xue?" ”

"This is natural, all the famous doctors in ten miles and eight towns have been invited, and no one, no one dares to treat woo woo woo ......"

So strict zhòng? Am I not connected to this world-famous gentleman? Yan Zhao frowned, but finally did not give up, and pointed to Yi Cui who was on crutches next to him and said, "This friend of mine has studied medical skills on his own because of his weak health, and he already has a little experience, why not let him treat Mr. Xue?" ”

The boy wiped a handful of snot and tears, and glanced at Yi Cui: "He can't even heal his own leg, can he do it?" ”

Belch. Yan Zhao was speechless for a moment.

This kid's mouth is very sharp, and Yi Cui's smile remains unchanged: "Let me try, I won't hurt Mr. Xue if I cut it off." ”

The boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly, and arched his hand: "Then please wait for a while, and let me report it." ”

Although they were finally able to enter this door, neither of them felt that they could breathe a sigh of relief, and before they entered Xue Ji's bedroom, the two of them smelled a strange smell mixed with the smell of medicine and fishy, which was pungent and unpleasant. When they saw Xue Ji himself, both Yan Zhao and Yi Cui were surprised, and finally understood why no doctor dared to treat this disease.

Because Xue Ji got the "back of his hair", he had a very tricky carbuncle on his back. When the two entered, Xue Ji was lying prone on the bed, his upper body was red, and he was unable to salute when he saw the two young men coming. There were many sores on both sides of his spine, with pus spots on them, shaped like lotus pods, some of which had festered and drained pus, and the fishy smell of the two of them was from these pus-draining sores.

Although Yi Cui is a little skilled in medicine, he has nothing to do when he sees such a strict hair back.

Seeing the surprised and pitiful looks of the two, Xue Ji sighed and said with a wry smile: "If the two of you come to ask Xue to go out of the mountain to do something, then you don't have to bother, with the old man's condition, whether he can survive this month is worrying." It seems that the old man's lifelong learning is destined to follow me to the grave! There was not much will to survive between the words, which showed that the disease had indeed tormented him to the point that life was worse than death.

Yi Cui and Yan Zhao didn't expect that this meeting with Xue Ji would be such a result. It can only be said that God made people and Xue Ji was outstanding, but because he was upright, he was never accommodated by the imperial court, and he achieved nothing in the year of confusion. Suddenly suffering from this disease, like a disaster falling from the sky, failed to fulfill his life's ambitions, and could only regret and wait for death, and died with hatred.

After the two said goodbye, Yan Zhao took the matter of asking the doctor to diagnose Xue Ji to heart, but he also knew that there was little hope, so Yi Cui was destined to continue to overload. Yan Zhao's army was ready to march to Chuzhou after being organized, and developed when the government was exhausted from fighting fires everywhere and had no time to deal with small roles like them, while Yi Cui used Nanqiao as the center to connect the captured areas, rectify agricultural affairs, and raise military rations.

It's just that on the way back, Yi Cui, who is looking at the horizon in a daze, often thinks of Xue Ji, thinks of his gray hair and unwilling eyes, and subconsciously touches his right leg, which has no consciousness at all, and feels a little desolate in his heart for no reason.

He also didn't know if he would be able to live to the day Yan Zhao had promised.

"Come on, take a look! Ladies and gentlemen, what kind of person I am on the left, everyone knows that it is not a miracle doctor, and I will not introduce it to everyone at all! Look, look, it's this girl, after giving me medicine for seven days, I'm refreshed, not tired of guarding the city during the day, and energetic at night! ”

"It's your mother-in-law who is tired." Someone in the crowd interjected with bad intentions, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Zuo Da was cured by that girl? I don't know if she took the initiative to come to the door for treatment, or secretly ran to her for diagnosis and treatment after the big incident?

The already small street was occupied by most of the people watching the excitement, and Ah Huang couldn't get by, so Yi Cui ordered: "Sheng San, let's go over and take a look." ”

Zuo Da continued to shout: "This girl standing next to me, oh no, the goddess doctor, kind-hearted, excellent medical skills, she is willing to see everyone for free, from headache and brain fever to serious illnesses that can't get out of bed, she can cure them all!" No money, free to watch, there is only one requirement, and that is ...... Girl, what's that? ”

"Find someone for me." Outside the big voice of the left, a soft girl's voice sounded.

"Yes, please help the goddess doctor find someone, find ...... Who are you looking for? ”

"A craftsman surnamed Zheng, a craftsman who specializes in fine gold and silver objects." It was the girl's voice again, and Itsuri was sure that it was not the woman who had been driven away by Zuoda in front of the city gate not long ago.

After only a few days of walking, Nan Qian came to a miracle doctor, fresh.

"In this world, there are still men and women who are guarded, and women dare to hang signboards to diagnose diseases." Yi Cui heard a dissatisfied mutter, he followed the reputation, and saw that the fat boy of the shopkeeper of Ji Zetang on the opposite side was unhappy, and struggled to climb over the high medicine counter, squeezed through the crowd, and finally squeezed in front of Zuo Da and the girl.

"Hey, female liar, have the ability to show me, see what is wrong with me, and see what nonsense you can make up."

"I'm not a liar. If you want to see a doctor, please stretch out your wrist. The answer was still weak, as if there was no confidence.

Suddenly, the girl let out a small exclamation: "Ah......hh

"What's wrong?" The son-in-law of the shopkeeper Sun's family suddenly felt worried.

"How much food have you eaten, and you must not act violently after eating," the girl wept and mourned, "and my intestines are damaged, and I am afraid that I will not live for three hours, and if I use the knife, I am not completely sure, how this is good." ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

The fat boy burst into a rage: "Let go of your TM fart!" Lao Tzu is alive and well! As he spoke, there was a sudden push and shoving in the crowd, and the atmosphere of commotion spread. Yi Cui frowned slightly, and ordered, "Sheng San, let that girl come over." ”

Sheng San jumped out of the car and shouted: "Annoying everyone, give way, Yi Gongzi wants to meet this miracle doctor girl, stand still if you want to fight, don't break the rules on the street!" ”

"Yi Gongzi?"

"Yi Gongzi is back?"

The crowd automatically and spontaneously parted ways, and the ones who walked in front were Zuo Da and the fat boy, their arms were wrapped together, not because they had a good relationship, but because they were wrestling, and even their eyes were sparkling. Behind them was a petite woman, who looked like she was still a girl, without the dusty cloth towel that day, and her long hair was braided into a big shiny braid, which looked much more energetic. It's just that her forehead is still covered by a thick "Bao Gaier", almost covering half of her face.

She followed behind as if she was very anxious, and kept whispering in the fat boy's ear: "You can't fight with him, otherwise the gods won't be able to save you, find a place to lie down, and I will see you carefully, maybe I can save you." ”

Her voice was like a mosquito and a fly, and she kept thinking about it, which annoyed Sun Fat Gongzi, and replied to her rudely with two words: "Get out!" ”

"But, but......" She still didn't give up, she raised her head and wanted to say something to the fat boy, this action of turning her face made Yi Cui see her appearance clearly.

Big black and white eyes, small nose, pointed chin, very delicate and even beautiful appearance, the only fly in the ointment is that there are a lot of brown spots on the fair skin. Thinking that she was alone in front of the city gate that day and annoyed Zuo Da, Yi Cui couldn't help but wonder, how did such a woman who looks bullying and stupid go to Nanqiao alone? Even if the government receives the news of Nanqiao's rebellion, it will never send this kind of goods to spy on it.

"Girl." Itsuri called out to her. It's a pity that in her eyes, it seems that the charm of Yi Gongzi is not as big as that of the fat boy, not only did she not hear it, but she was still chattering about something.

Yi Cui was patient, and said in a good temper: "This doctor girl. ”

"You don't want to ...... anymore Huh, huh, uh? The girl was quite sluggish, her head shook from side to side for a long time, and then she stared at Yi Cui and pointed at herself blankly: "You, did you call me?" ”

It really doesn't look very smart. Yi Cui sighed and asked patiently: "Yi took the liberty of asking, is the girl's surname Gu?" ”
