Chapter 054: Child
Su Yu's steps paused slightly, stopped and stopped, and ordered: "Go and prepare a pen and paper and send it over." β
When something like this happened, he had to immediately send a message to the other side. Just in time for the rain to fall again...... Hearing that the person next to him answered, Su Yu quietly continued to raise his feet and walk forward. He walked quickly, but the expression on his face did not fluctuate much.
The bricks on the ground were loose, revealing a few small pits and water in them.
He kept looking ahead, his soft boots on the bricks, but he avoided the puddle every time. When Su Yu walked to the porch and collected the umbrella, the boots were only a little wet.
The rainwater that had accumulated on the eaves was already pouring down, and it didn't take long for the porch to be drenched.
"Babbleβ" A room at the end of the corridor pushed the door open. A young man in brown clothes walked out quickly, born with red lips and white teeth, very similar to the little girl Sanqi next to Su Yu.
Seeing Su Yu, he greeted him, and after walking closer, he lowered his voice and said, "Fifth Master, the medicine prescribed by Miss Mu earlier has almost been exhausted. β
Su Yu's brows furrowed quickly, and the hand hanging down his side was hidden in his sleeve and quickly pinched it, and then said, "How can it be so fast?" β
"The little boy's body and bones have always been bad, and he takes medicine more than he eats."
"Are you awake or asleep right now?"
"I'm dazed, but I'm always awake."
Su Yu frowned and said a faint "um", and handed over the wet oil-paper umbrella in his hand, "I'll go see him." β
The Mu family has produced several generations of famous doctors, but most of them are due to diligence, and there have never been amazing and brilliant characters, until there is a Mu Jingyao in the younger generation.
Mu Jingyao's small character Manman, with He Xian's childhood sweetheart, grew up together with two little guesses, and was very smart since childhood, but as soon as he was literate, he knew that he was holding an obscure and esoteric medical book to read. It was quite liked by the old man of the Mu family, and when he said goodbye to his old age in the Tai Hospital, he personally taught his granddaughter at home. Therefore, although Mu Jingyao has only reached the end of the year this year, she has a lot of experience in the art of disambiguation.
Su Yu was friendly with He Xian, so he recognized her.
The prescription she prescribed, very good.
The medicine is mild and not violent, but the effect is quite good.
But in the end, the symptoms are not the root causes.
Su Yu walked quickly to the half-open door, frowning without the slightest hint of relief. Fang crossed the threshold, and he heard a child's weak voice murmuring inside, "It hurts......
He paused. Lower the curtain in your hand and head towards the inner room.
Hearing the footsteps, the young woman sitting on the edge of the kang immediately turned her head to look at him, and when she saw clearly that it was him, she hurriedly stood up straight, and Fu Yifu said, "You are here!" β
Su Yu looked at the small bulge of the kang bed, waved his hand, and ordered lightly: "Go down." β
The woman whispered yes and respectfully withdrew.
The room didn't get quieter because there was one less person.
The rain rattled outside. It was wind, thunder and lightning, and it was very noisy. Because of the sudden darkness of the sky, the light in the room also dimmed, and it was not yet dusk. The lamp was already lit on the table. The celadon oil lamp stood silently on the table, emitting a warm and bright light.
The curtain on the window was also yellowed.
Su Yu lightened his steps and approached the hot kang, and after he sat down on the side, he felt a thin layer of sweat on his back.
It's March now. Spring is coming to an end, summer is coming, and the night is still cool. But it's not as cold as winter. People who are afraid of the heat are afraid that they will change into tulle as soon as they enter April. But in this room, the windows are closed, the kang is burning, and I am almost about to cover my sweat.
The kang bed is also spread out with a thick futon.
Under the new brocade quilt, a small lump rose up near the head of the kang.
Small, almost missing.
Su Yu leaned over, glanced down, and then reached out and gently dropped on his forehead to probe the temperature.
Xu is his hands are cold, and the moment he falls, he only feels that the skin under his palm is as hot as a fire, but after a while, the boiling heat slowly cools down again. He looked sideways at the kang table on the side, and there was a small white porcelain bowl on it, and there were a few drops of thick medicinal juice on the edge of the bowl.
But there was no heat in the bowl.
I've been drinking this medicine for a while.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, listened to the shallow breathing of the little man wrapped in the brocade quilt, and then withdrew his hand from his forehead. Who would have thought that his fingers had just been lifted when they were gently grasped by a small and weak hand.
Looking along the small hand, what caught my eye was a pale and thin wrist bone. It's so weak, it seems that as long as someone pushes a little force, it will be broken.
"Daddy......"
The almost muttered voice was as thin and fragile as the severed wrist bone.
Su Yu lowered his head and looked down, facing a pair of big and bright eyes, clear and clean, black and white.
These are the eyes of a child.
Only young children who have not yet been contaminated with the invasions of the world will show such innocent eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Daddy......"
He snorted and called softly, and the little hand that grabbed Su Yu's index finger also faintly used some force.
Su Yu didn't continue to withdraw his hand, he just looked at these eyes and said indifferently: "Yongning, I'm not your father." β
But the young boy who could be called Yongning, lying under the quilt, only stubbornly refused to change his words, and called his father again.
Su Yu looked helpless, raised his other hand and tucked the corners of the quilt for him, but he never got up and left.
He still remembers the first day he brought Yongning back. Such a small person, even only one or two points heavier than the ingots when he picked them up in Chongyang Valley, he was really as thin as a cat. But the same has been raised, and the ingots are getting fatter and fatter, jumping around all day long, scattering wild.
But what about Yongning?
Xu is because he has been suffering from cold in the womb since he was born in his mother's womb, and his health has always been bad.
If you blow the wind, you can freeze, and if you eat something cold, you can eat your stomach.
Now that he is more than two years old, he still can't walk, and he starts to wrestle and wrestle when he stands for a while, and he is slow to take a step out of his legs, and he will fall if he is a little faster.
Brother Su Yu's son was born prematurely, and his small body was not strong, but he was never like this.
Yongning's child's illness can't be broken. It can only be raised.
But a child of such a small age, after taking so many medicines, has already eaten all his appetite, vomits when he eats milk, vomits when he eats porridge, and always tosses back and forth. Therefore, people always look thin and small, and they are not even stronger than the children who have just turned one year old.
But Yongning spoke early.
However, he doesn't like to talk either, and only when Su Yu comes, he will chase him and call him "Dad" twice.
When Su Yu heard it for the first time, he was stunned for a long time.
But this kid has been taught repeatedly. No matter when I see him, I am only willing to call him "Dad......
He still replied that Yongning only shouted to himself again and again.
Sanqi's elder brother Honeysuckle usually stayed here to take care of Yongning, and in private he taught him to call Su Yu "Fifth Uncle", but Yongning's child didn't eat oil and salt, and it was useless for anyone to teach him.
Su Yu couldn't help him, so he could only go with him.
After Yongning grabbed his hand and shouted Daddy twice, he didn't seem to point at him in response, and the little child quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
As soon as the medicinal properties came up. The drowsiness also came up, and Rao is adult couldn't help it, let alone such a small child. Covered with the quilt, Yongning's breathing soon returned to steady. Only the thick and slender eyelashes were left and trembled slightly.
Su Yu slowly pulled his fingers out of his palm, got up and walked out.
The little maid Honeysuckle waited behind the curtain, and when he saw him come out, he said, "Everything is ready." β
Su Yu bowed his head and turned around and entered the ear room.
There was a table in the window. Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone have been placed on it.
Su Yu picked up the pen and wrote a letter, a very short letter with a very calm tone. After writing. He handed the letter to Honeysuckle.
From where they were to where the letter should be, separated by most of the capital, back and forth, it should have been dark a long time ago. So when Honeysuckle came back, it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. On a rainy night, apart from the sound of falling rain, I couldn't hear anything else, and it seemed that all the noise in the world had been washed away by the rain.
Honeysuckle went to Lingyi, and immediately went inside to reply to Su Yu's words.
After saying the matter of sending the letter, he said again: "The little one has gone to see Sanqi by the way, and told him about your not returning to Su's house tonight. β
Su Yu sat on the Taishi chair, eating tea and nodded.
The rain seemed to be getting heavier outside, and he couldn't hear the horses' hooves, but he knew that it wouldn't be long before someone would come in the rain late at night.
So he sat here drinking tea and waiting, and he didn't mean to wash up and rest. At three o'clock, he went to see Yongning, the fever had subsided, and the person was in good spirits, so he used a few mouthfuls of porridge in front of him, and muttered that his father fell asleep.
The candlelight flickered, Su Yu paused the tea cup in his hand on the table beside him, Huo Ran got up and walked to the window and pushed the window open.
It was pitch black outside, and the raindrops the size of beans were blown into the house by the night breeze in an instant, and fell on the back of his hand on the edge of the window, as cold as ice in the middle of winter.
Suddenly, a little fire appeared in the dark night.
Then the fire grew brighter and brighter, and it got closer and closer to the window.
Su Yu casually picked up the oil-paper umbrella he had placed under the window early in the morning, opened it with a "bang", and then turned over from the window and jumped out.
The body was as light as a swallow, and the dark clothes on his body melted into the night in an instant and disappeared.
He stepped on the stagnant water on the ground, and strode towards the light with an umbrella.
"A quarter of an hour late." He stood still, holding his umbrella and frowning.
The person who came also held an umbrella, turned his back and coughed lightly twice, and then chuckled and said, "Lord Su's patience is much better than in the past. After that, he explained in a slightly feminine voice, "The temper of the one above is getting bigger and bigger, and I am afraid that it will be more and more difficult to get out in the future." (To be continued......)
