"I've heard of it, but it's the first time I've seen it." Zhu Yan climbed a branch near him, quickly pulled off the bark, and wrung the sap from the leaves in his hand, "You use the sap of this tree?" ”

Twenty-four nodded silently, glanced at the apricot leaves who were looking at Zhu Yan in surprise, and didn't dare to speak.

Xingye didn't know that Twenty-four's identity was a killer, and said that Zhu Yan meant that she could use this thing to cure diseases, and she didn't know that she was asking to use this as poison, she was just surprised that Zhu Yan was such a well-dressed young lady, and she could casually get a piece of branch so miserable, and she didn't care about the green juice on her hands, which was really informal.

However, Zhu Yan's hands were already white and greasy, and now they were stained with a lot of pale green mucus, but they made his hands more white and delicate, and Xingye smacked his mouth, feeling more and more that he couldn't let Zhu Yan be snatched by others.

What's more, Bian Feng has already talked to her, if Zhu Yan can talk to her, he will take her to the capital together, Xingye has grown here since he was a child, and he has long wanted to see how extraordinary the weather is in Beijing, so she has to do her best to be optimistic about Zhu Yan for herself.

If Zhu Yan knew what she was thinking, she would definitely be crying and laughing, but fortunately, all her attention was on the cinchona tree in front of her, and she didn't even pay attention to the sly smugness in her apricot eyes.

"I heard that Miss Zhu has a lot of experience in pharmaceuticals, would you like to visit Lingnan Beiliu Village?" Twenty-four felt her thoughts, as long as it came to medicine, she would definitely not refuse to come, "The medicine in Beiliu Village is very famous in the Lingnan area, if the young lady goes there." Not only can you get the cream made from this madder tree, but you can also have a discussion with the doctors and pharmacists of Lingnan. ”

"Beiliu Village?" Zhu Yan turned his head suspiciously, and took the handkerchief handed by Xingye to wipe the juice from his hands. While looking at him suspiciously, "Since it is a village famous for medicine, why didn't Boss Bian mention such a stop on the itinerary?" ”

Twenty-four choked, never smiled faintly on the side, Beiliu Village is where the Xiang family lives, the villagers either practice martial arts or medicine, and those children are trained as killers from birth. The indoctrination is full of hatred and extremism, such a village, which outsiders cannot avoid. Naturally, no one will take the initiative to find it.

"I'll go back and ask Boss Bian, and I'll stay in Tongcheng for more than ten days." Although Zhu Yan didn't know what kind of place Beiliu Village he was talking about, he really couldn't let go of this tree in his heart, and he couldn't transplant it to Jiangnan. I want to get a little quinine. can only go to Beiliu Village according to the meaning of Twenty-four.

After walking a short distance up the mountain road, the thick bell of Qingyuan leaked out again from among the trees, as if it could ripple in the humid air of the mountains.

After the cascading bells, there seemed to be some discordant sounds mixed in with the crisp birdsong.

Zhu Yan and Xingye glanced at each other, Xingye held up her chin and blinked, "Miss, is this someone crying?" ”

"It doesn't seem like I'm crying." The sound was far away. Zhu Yan couldn't tell it clearly, but he vaguely felt that it was not crying. It's more like a mournful cry.

"I think there is a child who is lost in the mountains and is looking for his parents." Yongwu has always liked to travel in the mountains and rivers, and often meets a few lost children in the mountains, so he doesn't think it is strange to hear the children's cry in the mountains. ”

Zhu Yan felt that this mention was good, and listened in the direction of the sound, and after making sure that it was correct, he followed.

"Ah Yan, be careful, the thorns on some bushes are a little poisonous, and it's not fun to have their skin scratched." Never spoke, reaching out for her to block the vines around her that were covered with tiny red thorns.

"Thank you." Zhu Yan smiled, took out the handkerchief and put it on his hand, "You should be careful." ”

Twenty-four and Xingye followed behind, watching the intimate movements of the two of them, one was full of joy, and the other had a black face.

As the distance got closer and closer, the originally faint voice gradually became clearer, and it was a girl who could tell that it was a girl crying a little, but she should be speaking the local dialect, and Zhu Yan couldn't understand it.

"Miss, she's calling 'brother'." Xingye intimately acted as a translator.

"Looks like you're really lost?" Zhu Yan listened to the girl's cry very pitifully, and quickened her steps through a bush around her.

But things were obviously not what they thought, beside a mountain stream in front of them, a buffalo was drinking quietly with its head down, and a boy was lying on the rocks beside him, and the girl beside him was the child who made a terrible cry, both children always had horns, and their clothes were somewhat similar, and they must be brother and sister.

Hearing someone approaching, the girl lifted her little face covered with tears, quickly picked up a handful of stream water, wiped her tears, rushed to several people, and muttered something she didn't know.

Xingye squatted down and grabbed the child, the two talked a few words in a low voice, the girl lowered her head and pulled up her sleeves to wipe her tears, Xingye patted her back lightly, and only got up to explain the situation to Zhu Yan after she was steady, "This little girl is called Yuexiu, she came out with her brother Yue Wei to herd cattle, and my brother somehow got a nosebleed, although it was not very strict, but it couldn't be stopped, the little girl thought that her brother was going to die, so she cried so sadly, Miss understands medical skills, can you treat him?" ”

Zhu Yan stepped forward slowly, the boy lying on the stone on his back was pale, his eyes were half-closed, and he had a flower handkerchief stuffed in his nose, which had been stained red with blood, no wonder the little girl was so frightened that she cried.

But after diagnosing the pulse, Zhu Yan felt that his pulse was calm and powerful, and there was no sign of illness at all, thinking that his face was so ugly, most of it was caused by fear in his heart, presumably the brother and sister both thought that nosebleeds were a matter of death, so they expressed such a sorrow as if facing a great enemy.

The little girl named Yuexiu rubbed beside her, and her two big tearful eyes blinked at her, and she didn't know what she was muttering.

"Ah Xiu asked Miss, is her brother still saved?" Xingye couldn't help but purse her lips and smile softly when she heard Yuexiu's question, and she didn't have to wait for Zhu Yan to answer, so she leaned down and comforted her softly, telling her that her nosebleed was not a serious illness, and with Zhu Yan's ability, she must have been able to catch it.

When she raised her head and saw Zhu Yan looking at herself with a smile, she couldn't help but tremble, it was true that she just listened to Bian Feng say that Zhu Yan's medical skills were very good, and she boasted in front of Yuexiu that Haikou was a little weak-hearted, but Zhu Yan shouldn't understand, I don't know why she has this kind of gaze.

Zhu Yan's gaze fell steadily on the gardenia on the placket of her clothes, and her moist lips were gently hooked, "Apricot leaves, share the flower on your placket with me." ”

Xingye thought she had misheard, but seeing that she was staring at the flowers on her clothes, not as if she was joking, she was half-convinced, and with a lot of curiosity, she hesitantly picked the largest gardenia with her.

Yongwu and Twenty-four also stood aside with great interest, curious about how Zhu Yan would treat with a gardenia.

Zhu Yan was not in a hurry to explain how she wanted to use the gardenia, but just held the white gardenia and looked at it carefully in the sun, the silk-like petals glowed with lustrous brilliance, accompanied by a rich fragrance, and her beautiful appearance reflected her, if it weren't for a pale child lying on the stone, others really wanted to keep looking like this.

Zhu Yan looked at it for a long time, picked nearly ten of the largest and fullest petals from the flowers, brought the broken flowers to his lips, sniffed the smell, and then gently put them into the dense grass under his feet.

Xingye saw that she was so gentle to a flower, she really couldn't connect her with the "fierce" woman who broke the branches, peeled off the bark, and twisted the leaves, at this moment she only had one thought, if she was that gardenia, could she kiss the fragrance on Zhu Yan's lips?

When she came back to her senses, Zhu Yan had already done it on the stone, a few white petals scattered on her skirt, but she took out a silk cloth bag in her hand.

Xingye recognized that it was Zhu Yan's burden with a silver needle, but when she wanted to prick the acupoint to stop the bleeding, she was so frightened that she retreated slightly, and Twenty-four saw it with the tip of her eyes on the side, and sneered lowly, "But the next needle, don't you want the Xingye girl to be afraid of this?" ”

"I ...... I didn't. Xingye bit her lip, didn't want to admit it at all, and turned her face away from Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan took out a strong mugwort from the cloth bag, took out the fire fold and ignited it, and hung the gardenia petals on the fire and burned, the white petals gradually glowed with dark red color, slowly shrunk into a ball, and finally became a black black black ball.

Xingye saw that she was not applying needles, and she dared to glance back, which showed that she had burned such a lovely and fragrant petal to scorch, and she couldn't help but shudder, this young lady was really frightening.

Yuexiu was also curious about what this beautiful sister was doing, staring at her movements so intently that she forgot to cry.

Yongwu and Twenty-four became more and more interested the more they watched, although the two of them had their own thoughts, they both felt that Zhu Yan's demeanor when he was seriously diagnosing the disease was really beautiful.

Zhu Yanhun didn't notice the different gazes of everyone, his fingers gently crushed the scorched petals into pieces, and then pulled out a small silver tube from the hosta on his head like a trick, and carefully poured the petal end into the tube.

Yuexiu saw that her eyes were about to fall, and when she saw her leaning down and blowing all the end into her brother's nose with a silver pipe, she hurriedly leaned over, pulled her brother along, and looked at him with a blank eye.

"Miss, what kind of method is this?" Apricot Leaf came back to her senses, took a handkerchief dipped in the moist stream water for her to wipe the remaining mugwort and petal fragments on her hands, while looking at the boy lying on the stone, still not convinced, "Can this really be useful?" ”

"Wait a minute." Zhu Yan wiped her hands, hooked a gentle smile and instructed her, "Xingye, you go and ask why that little brother has a nosebleed for me?" ”

She had heard that some people had nosebleeds not only because there were locusts that got into their noses while they were sleeping, but it was moist and wormy, and boys liked to play in the water, so she had to ask what the cause of Yue Wei was, and whether she needed further treatment. (To be continued......)

PS: Gardenia for the treatment of nosebleeds is not only from - Lan Mao's "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica"
