(991), loneliness

- However, just looking at the appearance of these four puppeteers, although they are dull, Liao Shi can recognize that these four people are still the original four. It seems that although he has not returned to the Medicine Valley as agreed in recent years, his junior brother is still abiding by the agreement, and there are no new puppets.

Looking at Yan Xingzhi, who seemed to be able to barely stand on the trunk of a tree by a thick rope, Liao Shi grabbed his messy hair and tried to think about some passwords that he hadn't used for more than four years. These puppeteers are not his works, and the passwords to control the puppeteers are also made up by his junior disciples, so once he doesn't use them for a long time, he will be rusty. At this time, it was even more difficult for him to remember these cold and hard passwords than to ask him to recite the full text of the twenty-seven pharmacopoeia of the medicine valley.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Liao Shi frowned, and then stretched out his hand to point to the bamboo cart without wheels, but he couldn't exhale any words of command in his mouth.

The tightly bound puppeteer's gaze fell on Liao Shi's waving fingers, and his eyes rolled halfway. After standing for a moment, he finally moved, and his two arms, wrapped in long black sleeves, which did not even show half of his fingers, still maintained a circular posture, clamping Yan Xingzhi's shoulders and walking towards the bamboo cart.

When Liao Shi saw this scene, he was slightly happy in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: I haven't been back for a few years, it seems that although the junior brother has not refined a new medicine puppet, he has transformed the existing puppet again. Although the puppeteers are still not as clever as normal people, compared to the stiff appearance before, these puppeteers are not so troublesome to summon now.

Thinking like this in his heart, Liao Shi saw that the puppet man lifted Yan Xingzhi sideways as if he were lifting a wooden stake. Then it was thrown on the bamboo cart.

"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Rao is bamboo car has more elasticity than the bamboo car, which can alleviate some of the impact trauma caused by falling directly on the body, but Liao Shi, who was watching this scene, still felt a little painful.

For a moment, he seemed to forget that he was not the one who had fallen.

So he was annoyed again, and he didn't care if the puppeteers could understand it or not, and immediately scolded again: "Bastard! Darn! Can't you see that this is a living person? It's not chopping wood! What should I do if I fall like this?! Darn! ”

While scolding this sentence, Liao Shi deeply believed in his heart that he had used this puppet man from the beginning. It seems that a mistake in choice has been made. This puppeteer is most likely doing rough work in the Medicine Valley. Carrying firewood, medicine jars, and stones are commonplace, so everything seems to him to be this kind of thing.

Liao Shi scolded the bastards a few times in a row, but the puppets were still indifferent, still standing motionless. Looking at Liao Shi with a stiff line of sight. It's as if this can only be their master, and it's just the same thing.

Liao Shi sighed again.

When he used to summon these puppeteers. I've never been so irritable as I am today. I don't know when he got used to the humble but very intelligent young man's follower around him, so now he is naturally a little unaccustomed to these puppeteers who can still maintain the face of a teenager.

Silently jumped on the bamboo cart. Liao Shi finally remembered a password, and hurriedly shouted: "Sleep!" ”

Immediately, two puppeteers moved and pulled out two things from the mezzanine at the bottom of the bamboo cart, a stack of quilts and a pillow.

"Up!"

With the most vivid command exhaled, the two puppeteers stepped back, and together with the other two puppeteers, they lifted the four corners of the wheelless bamboo cart, and their bodies jumped to a height of about three feet above the ground like leaves, and began to glide into the distance.

Liao Shi spread the quilt on the bamboo cart and overlapped it so that the quilt could be thicker and softer, and then he moved Yan Xingzhi, who had been drugged and had fallen into a deep coma, to lie down on the quilt, and put the only pillow under his head.

After suffering such a heavy fall, Yan Xingzhi didn't show the slightest sign of waking up, but the bruises on an inch of skin on the side of his face showed that he was thrown into the car by the puppet man, and the fall was really not light.

"It's really ruthless, it's really not human." Liao Shi muttered softly, but he couldn't do anything about those puppeteers. Even if they were to scrape them with a knife, they would not feel the pain. Asking them to die seems to be no different from pulling out a piece of grass.

And Liao Shi actually doesn't move these puppeteers, because these puppets are the works of his junior disciples.

Although the meaning of these works is a bit perverted, it has to be said that the master and disciple have spent a lot of wisdom and energy on these works. If one of these puppets is missing in his hands, Liao Shi is not sure if he can still dissuade his demon junior brother from going out of the valley to catch innocent teenagers to replenish the number of puppets.

Giving Yan Xingzhi a comfortable quilt and pillow, Liao Shi sat on the bare bamboo, he originally had a physique with many bones and thin flesh, and he felt a little awkward at first, but when he thought about it for a while and went back to deal with the junior brother who might have been irritable, he gradually forgot about the discomfort of the bumpy car.

After some thought, the result was quickly calculated, but in fact, the method was still the same, two words: fighting medicine.

Compared with fighting in a group, the best way, the most confident and the most willing way for the junior brother to vent is to fiddle with his poison that he has always felt is unparalleled in the world.

After thinking about this matter thoroughly, Liao Shi's mind relaxed a little. Taking this small town in the north as the starting point, although the distance back to the Medicine Valley was not the four hundred miles he lied to Lin Shan, it was more than three hundred miles. With the inhuman foot strength of these four puppets, they kept on the road day and night, which took at least two days and two nights on the road. The journey was boring, and Liao Shi naturally remembered the old wine gourd hanging on his waist.

The sealing ability of the old gourd is obviously not as good as that of the clay pot, and the mellow aroma of the old wine has been lingering around him, which is particularly refreshing and tickles people's hearts. Liao Shi felt that if he didn't drink all the wine, and then throw the gourd as far as he could, don't let him smell the aroma again, he wouldn't want to sleep peacefully tonight or tomorrow night.

Just do it, Liao Shi picked up the gourd, pulled out the wooden stopper, raised his head and swallowed a few mouthfuls.

The aroma of wine became more mellow, and the bamboo cart flew past the four puppeteers. The puppet in the front left corner actually glanced back at Liao Shi without getting the password. When the puppeteer turned around, the four of them lost their balance when they lifted the car, turning Liao Shi upside down.

Liao Shi almost didn't squirt out the wine he had just swallowed, and it was because of this that he noticed the puppet man who looked back at him.

After being slightly stunned, Liao Shi did not get angry again, but had a thought in his heart, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead and said, "I almost forgot that wine is also a kind of medicine." It's just that...... Could it be that these puppets also eat alcohol? Senior brother, junior brother. I don't know what you've done in Medicine Valley in the past few years. More than 20 years ago, you just fooled your brother, but don't try that on yourself. People can only prolong their lives, but they can't really live forever, no matter how good we are at medicine, we can't afford that! ”

A cocked neck. "Goo dong goo dong" swallow a few more big bites. The fifty years of precious wine in the old gourd were almost exhausted. Even if there is, it's just a little wetness at the bottom of the gourd.

-- If the owner of this wine takes the old gourd back, he will use these few drops of wetness at the bottom of the gourd as the blending puree. Mix new wines and sell them at least as much as three years old, making another profit.

But Liao Shi didn't think about so many ways to make profits, at this time, he just looked at the puppet who turned back as if he was very greedy, and threw the empty gourd out easily.

The purpose of the puppet man's turn back was indeed to target the wine gourd in Liao Shi's hand. Seeing the gourd flying out, the puppeteer immediately flicked his long sleeves and rolled the gourd in front of him and flipped it.

Only a drop of wine fell, exactly on the puppeteer's outstretched tongue.

The puppet man seemed to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then made a soft sound of "ho ho" in his throat, although it was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, but it could make a puppet person take the initiative to express his feelings, which showed the power of that drop of old wine.

The puppet man seemed to have a little self-consciousness, and recognized that the old gourd was empty, and he didn't mean to be angry, but he didn't throw away the empty gourd, but held the gourd in his mouth, which looked quite funny.

Seeing this scene, Liao Shile smiled, and suddenly another thought popped up in his heart, and after thinking about it, he was even happier.

If the junior brother really made a wine cellar in the medicine valley, then going back this time would be much more interesting than in previous years.

Haha, when it comes to fighting, he is definitely not as good as me!

Dump him! Then it's convenient to do your own thing.

Liao Shi thought so in his heart, and took another big sip with the strength of the wine.

――――

The wheelless bamboo cart was high and low, and quickly traveled through the mountains and forests towards the general direction of the medicine valley. Such a car and such a waiter are too weird, and Liao Shi certainly would not choose to bring such an anomaly to the main road where pedestrians often pass.

However, picking the deep mountains and old forests as the path back to the medicine valley really won't attract attention?

Returning to Medicine Valley in such a low-key way, in the past, Liao Shi had indeed tried many times, and none of them had leaked his whereabouts because of this. But this time today, the road conditions on his way back may have to change a little.

About half an hour ago, the guards in Lin Shan's residence were divided into three groups and scattered to the west, south, and north of the town to find Lin Shan. Because Lin Shan's whereabouts to the town in the north still need to be kept secret, the guards went to the field in civilian clothes to look for it, and they did not call all the way.

Therefore, Liao Shi, who was full of wine and only wanted to return to the medicine valley quickly, did not find that a few people were evacuated in the forest.

When these low-key guards saw the car carried by four white-haired people, they at first thought that they had encountered some strange people in the rivers and lakes, and they didn't plan to cause trouble other than the main business of this trip, so they planned to avoid it.

However, when they smelled the smell of wine, heard the familiar voice, couldn't help but look closely, and quickly saw the old and the young in the car, the guards were all stunned.

"This ...... What is this......"

"Where did those white-haired men come from? Has the old pharmacist been hijacked? Shall we come to his rescue? ”

"No, those white-haired people are at the behest of the old medicine man......"

"Those few people seem to be able to fly, is this the power of the rumored Chinese medicine valley heterogeneity?"

“……”

Several guards scattered in the mountains and fields quickly gathered together, looked nervous and spoke very quickly, and it didn't take long for a unanimous decision to be reached.

One guard lifted an iron pipe to the sky, and the other blew on the fire fold, lighting the half-cut lead left under the iron pipe.

By this time, the sun had completely slid down the western sky, but it was not completely dark. Using this fireworks as a communication signal, although the effect cannot be transmitted too far, it is enough to summon the nearest guards.

Signal fireworks erupted from the iron pipe, piercing the zenith like a meteor gliding backwards.

The bamboo cart without wheels had already left the guards behind him for miles with the speed of flying forward, but when the signal fireworks in the forest from an unknown location to the sky burned to the brightest, the puppeteer in the front right corner of the four puppeteers carrying the bamboo cart suddenly raised his head.

Although the puppet man has a wooden expression. Loss of self-awareness. But this alien state seems to have really given them some alien skills. The silent fireworks and faint light pierced their strange nerves.

Seeing this scene out of the corner of his eye, Liao Shi also looked up.

Then he frowned slightly, and the comfortable expression he had just had when he was singing happily on the wine was gone. One of his hands touched the medicine box resting beside him.

But. His withered fingers rubbed twice against the shabby skin of the medicine box. Without any other movement, he released the medicine box again.

"Don't come along." The old medicine man muttered to himself.

After a moment's hesitation, he pulled out two copper coins from his sleeve. He then pulled a few threads from his clothes and rubbed them together, strung the two copper coins together, and hung them in the corner of the bamboo cart.

The bamboo cart, which is high and low, swayed the two copper coins strung together, making a crisp copper sound of "ding ding". Hearing this sound, the four puppeteers carrying the cart seemed to have been suddenly beaten by a few whips of the galloping horse, and their bodies jumped faster, and the distance between the jumps and ups and downs was also longer.

The old man in the car had already knocked down his eyelids, relaxed his shoulders and leaned on the railing, as if after this sleep, he would be able to reach the medicine valley.

――――

As she said before leaving the hill, Chen Jiu quickly rushed back.

It was not because she drove her horse like a fly, from the countryside hill to her residence in the town, and it took less than a moment to go back and forth, but because she met the guards who had come from her own residence to find the forest cedar on the way.

When he saw Jiang Chao, Lin Shan's most relied on guard, Chen Jiu's mood was a little complicated. In her state of mind at this time, she actually wanted to return to her residence slowly, so as to avoid her loss of honor from being seen by others; But at the same time, she was really worried about Lin Shan, who was left alone on the hill, and wanted to find someone to pick him up quickly.

Seeing Chen Jiu riding alone in the suburbs outside the town, even if Jiang Chao didn't get close and saw the remaining tears on her face, just from what he remembered, Chen Jiu disappeared in his residence with Lin Shan, he could probably guess something.

"Sister Wine......" Jiang Chao shouted loudly, and at the same time, the steps under his feet have changed from fast to running. In order to follow Lin Shan's repeated emphasis on keeping a low profile, none of the five guards they came from on horseback, otherwise so many people galloped together on horseback, which was really a very eye-catching thing in this remote and relatively poor town.

When he got closer, there was no suspense, and Jiang Chao had already observed a little tear stain on Chen Jiu's face. However, according to these tears, the guard Jiang Chao could only think that it was likely that something had happened to Lin Shan, and it was difficult to grasp Chen Jiu's true state of mind.

"Is it an adult, he ......," Jiang Chao asked implicitly.

"I was going to look for you." Chen Jiu didn't wait to stop the gallop under his seat, but turned his arm to the side, lifted the reins and turned the horse, "Come with me!" ”

Jiang Chao didn't say much, but quickened his pace again, running behind Chen Jiu's horse.

By the time Chen Jiu returned to the position on the hill where a horse was tied to the nameless guard, Lin Shan, who had been able to sit up before, was already lying on the ground with his head tilted. Jiang Chao walked to Lin Shan's side and squatted down, he felt that his breathing was a little low, and he subconsciously called a few times, but he didn't see any signs of waking up.

"What's wrong, my lord?" Jiang Chao asked from instinctive Chao Chenjiu.

"Drunk." Chen Jiu replied very directly, directly omitting some explanations that should be regarded as facts, "Send him back first, and then find a way to sober up." ”

Of course, Jiang Chao knew that Lin Shan and Liao Shi had dinner at the same table in the afternoon, which was really practiced. At that time, Chen Jiu was also present, and with Chen Jiu's best wine-making skills, it was inevitable to invite Liao Shi to drink a pot of fine wine. But he really couldn't understand how Chen Jiu didn't dissuade Lin Shan from drinking, she didn't know the physical condition of adults, and the injury to drinking was several times that of ordinary people!

Looking at Jiang Chao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, the boredom and indifference in Chen Jiu's state of mind at this time had not completely faded, she didn't want to say anything more at this time and place, so she said in a more direct tone: "Don't say more." Sometimes, even I can't persuade him. ”

When Jiang Chao heard this, he quickly lost the meaning of asking. Although the words of the aged sake are straightforward, they are true.

"It's hard for us to predict that adults will be in such a bad state just for a trip, so we didn't bring anything else with us." Jiang Chao looked at the sleeping Lin Shan, sighed, and then went to help his shoulder, "I can only carry it back." ”

However, he had just helped Lin Shan to sit up. I haven't had time to move it on my back. The movement of his hand suddenly stopped.

Jiang Chao looked up at the sky, and so did the four guards beside him.

"Brother Chao, it's a signal." One of the guards prompted.

After a moment of thought, Jiang Chao said, "I'll go and see what's wrong over there." I'll leave it to you to send you back. ”

The four guards had hesitant expressions on their faces. One of them was quicker to think. hurriedly said: "No, we will check the signal fireworks over there, and the adults will have to send it back in person." Because we don't know if it's a trick of an unknown adversary. ”

Jiang Chao thought silently for a moment, then nodded and admonished, "It's okay." Ah Zhi, you ride an adult's horse over to take a look, if something happens, don't dwell on it, just bring the news back to your residence. The other three followed me all the way back to escort the adults back. ”

The four guards immediately received the order, and Jiang Chao told the guard who was about to leave after untying the rope and getting on the horse: "Ah Zhi, you go back quickly, be careful here." ”

Immediately, Erlang arched his hand to this side, flicked his horsewhip, and rode his horse down the mountain.

――――

Back at the residence, put Lin Shan on the bed, Chen Jiu called the maid to boil hot water, take a cotton handkerchief and carefully wipe Lin Shan's hands and feet. Although Liao Shi is gone, with Lin Shan's current fragile physical condition, it is impossible for the resident doctor to be absent from the residence. Just about ten days ago, Imperial Physician Wu was summoned.

Three years ago, Imperial Doctor Wu was expelled from the Imperial Medical Bureau for selling expired medicinal materials hoarded by the Imperial Medical Bureau to the people without permission, and was also blacklisted in the medical field, and it is difficult to obtain the qualification to practice medicine in this life. However, the core guards in Lin Shan's residence all knew that Imperial Doctor Wu was more or less wronged when he was charged with this crime.

Just because His Majesty took a fancy to Imperial Doctor Wu to take on the task of traveling north with Lin Shan, and wanted to keep his whereabouts secret, he had to cut off all the connections between Imperial Doctor Wu and the medical community in Kyoto, so he had to make a crime to let this superb imperial doctor be on the blacklist of the medical community. After his reputation was stinky, no one contacted Imperial Doctor Wu anymore.

Although this is to comply with the emperor's secret decree, he is innocently bearing the grievance, but such grievances are too hurtful. At first, the guards in the residence were a little upset about what had happened to this good-natured, highly skilled imperial doctor, but it didn't take long for them to realize that they might be thinking too much.

Because Imperial Physician Wu, who left the Taiyi Bureau and left the prestigious Imperial Doctor, he really didn't feel that he had any grievances, not only because the secret decree sent by the emperor was too heavy and he was powerless to disobey, but also because he came to a remote town in the Northlands and seemed to have gained more happiness than in the Taiyi Bureau.

During the three years in the Northland, Imperial Doctor Wu seemed to have some intention of returning to his old business and concentrating on making a living as a drug dealer. Maybe he will have this change, and it has something to do with the fact that there is an old pharmacist in the Northland who is good at tinkering with various potions.

In the past three years, Imperial Doctor Wu's heart to return to Kyoto has become weaker and weaker, and a year ago, he took all his family members in Kyoto to Sha Tin County, which is sixty miles away from this town, where the living environment is better for the elderly, weak, women and children, and he himself is like Liao Shi, carrying a medicine box on his back and wandering around the villages and towns near Sha Tin County, mainly buying medicine for a living.

An imperial doctor has been reduced to the point of walking on foot in a remote rural town to buy medicine to survive, and if this news is transmitted back to Kyoto, I don't know how many jokes it will cause. However, only Wu Ze himself understood in his heart that his happiness was here. Compared to Kyoto, where there is an abundance or even a surplus of doctors, these villages and towns on the border need more care from doctors, but behind their urgent needs, there is more contentment and gratitude.

In this barren place, Wu Ze has treated many people, and with his medical skills, most of those patients have not been injured without much mental damage, but the happiness that those who have recovered give back to him has made him get the greatest spiritual satisfaction in more than 20 years of medical practice.

Even if it is true that he does not make much spare money in this place, his wife, who moved with him to live in Sha Tin County, can no longer be a closed-door wife like when she lived in Kyoto, and she has opened a full stall. After kneading his face for a long time, his arms have become stronger, and he himself has lost a lot of weight...... But his eyes often burned with a sparkle of light, and his wife often burned with this sparkle when she looked at him, and came home three times a month, and after one night, she always had to leave a few bruises on him......

The joy of life and the meaning of life may lie in this.

However, when Wu Ze suddenly received a letter, the smile he often put on his face faded a lot in an instant, and the brightness in his eyes dimmed slightly. But his hurried towards the familiar mansion was not slowed down by the depression of his mood.

Chen Jiu looked at the former imperial physician Wu Ze after diagnosing Lin Shan's pulse. He lowered his face slightly. It wasn't until she scrubbed Lin Shan's hands and face, and he slept as peacefully as possible while serving him who had not woken up at all, and then walked from the bedroom to the front hall, and still saw Wu Ze, who was sitting at the table and seemed to be thinking about something, still with a calm face.

Noticed someone coming out of the bedroom. Wu Ze, who lowered his head slightly, raised his eyelids. I met the worried gaze of the old wine.

Don't wait for the old wine to speak. Wu Xue, who had been thinking about it for a long time, took the lead and asked, "What should the old medicine master explain before leaving here?" ”

"Well, that's right. The old pharmacist said it all. Chen Jiu nodded and said slowly: "According to the old pharmacist's explanation, this is a symptom of drunkenness, because his physique is different, so the reaction will be sharper." But yesterday at the banquet to bid farewell to the old pharmacist, he also knew this, so he didn't drink together, but he couldn't avoid smelling some wine, but he didn't expect the situation to become so strict. ”

Jiang Chao, the guard captain who usually walked closest to Lin Shan, was also waiting in the hall at this time, standing beside Wu Ze, he listened to Chen Jiu's words, and immediately remembered what she said in response to him on the hill before, and couldn't help but question: "Sister Jiu, since this is the case, you said that the adults drank wine before?" ”

Chen Jiu immediately described the whole process of yesterday's banquet and explained Jiang Chao's doubts, only saying that she didn't want to explain more on the hill yesterday evening, in order to temporarily relieve them of the doubts of these guards, so that she could send Lin Shan back to her residence.

Chen Jiu's explanation is also decent and well-organized, but who can really know the slight change in her mood yesterday evening? After three years in the Northland, she thought that when she faced the inquiries of the guards yesterday, her calmness and patience had reached the weakest link.

The doubts in the heart of the guard captain Jiang Chao were relieved, but the former imperial doctor Wu Xue frowned and said slowly: "It's hard to imagine, Lord Lin just sniffed some wine. Forgive Wu for being rude, the old pharmacist really shouldn't have left here at this time. ”

When Chen Jiu and Jiang Chao heard this, they didn't reply to him, but they just fell silent together.

It's not that the two of them think that the former imperial doctor Wu Ze is really rude when he says this, for Liao Shi, who is just disgusted with trouble, but actually doesn't care much about his wings, even if Wu Ze scolds him now, it is better than pestering him for an hour in order to ask for medicine.

The two of them were silent because they both knew what Liao Shi had left here for, but they wanted to keep this matter a secret: the Yan family's family history could not leak the news, it was a matter of reputation; Lin Shan's imminent evacuation from here can't be said, this is ...... Military Secrets.

Even if Wu Ze still had a place in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and could leave Kyoto with him three years ago, he could return to the Imperial Imperial Physician Establishment at any time like the Imperial Physician who had been sent to the west halfway through, and neither of these secrets could be told to him. What's more, the current Wu Ze can't go back at all.

Wu Ze glanced left and right, and felt that the atmosphere in the venue was a little weird. Although these two people were silent, they didn't blame anyone on their faces, as if Liao Shi had left in name, even if Lin Shan, who had not healed completely from his injuries, would lose a heavy layer of physical fitness because of this.

But he quickly dissipated the distraction that had stumbled into his mind. He was instructed by the emperor to follow Lin Shan to the Northland, although the details are unknown, but the general situation can still be estimated.

Not only does the matter of living in seclusion in this small town need to be kept secret, but Lin Shan, who came here from Kyoto thousands of miles away, also has other tasks, which also need to be kept secret. For this task, Lin Shan's cronies and subordinates seem to only know a fragment, and he, the outgoing imperial doctor, will be isolated from confidential matters.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xue just picked up the question he had asked before, and added, "Lord Lin is sometimes not very persuaded...... So, in addition to this advice, the old pharmacist should have left any emergency medicine, right? ”

Aside from Chen Jiu, Jiang Chao was one of the few people in Lin Shan's guards who knew the cause of his illness. As Lin Shan's most relied on subordinate, Jiang Chao certainly knew about the bottle of medicine.

However, when he heard Wu Ze open his mouth to mention this matter, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, raised a hand and made a silent movement, and then said in a very soft voice: "Doctor, be careful." After that, he nodded to Wu Ze again.

Nodding his head does not make a sound, and does not carry any information to the ears of people outside the house who are not suitable to know about it. In the past, Wu Xue, who was used to observing words and expressions, could not easily understand the actual meaning of Jiang Chao's behavior, and could also read the second meaning from the surprising and somewhat big verbal words and body movements.

If Lin Shan's sequelae have been so severe that he must be careful to control the medication in some daily things. This matter really has to be dealt with secretly.

Wu Ze had just confirmed from Jiang Chao that there was indeed an emergency medicine in his residence. His mood relaxed slightly, and then he listened to Chen Jiu's tone and blamed himself: "I did something wrong, I knew that the old pharmacist was good wine, so I opened a pot of fifty-year-old wine." This is something that even a good drinker can't bear. Besides, he was there......"

Wu Ze's eyes lit up slightly. Suddenly laughed: "You did something wrong." But it's not the fault that I opened a pot of old wine, it's the fault that I wasn't invited to the banquet yesterday. ”

With that, he paused for a moment. Then he raised his head slightly, as if he had the meaning of looking at the bright moon hanging high in the distance, and said with emotion: "Liao Shi is so good-mouthed, Wu can't catch up, just like he can't catch up with him on the way to drug research." ”

He said that there was some inconsistency in the logical order, but it was really just emotion.

"You call me, in fact, I can only fill the number of people to give you peace of mind." Wu Xue gathered some divergent thoughts, and then said seriously: "It must be explained that in addition to the mind, the body can also do this. Lord Lin's body is accustomed to the medicine administered by Liao Shi, and Liao Shi's medicine has always had a distinctive style, and it is difficult to integrate medicinal properties with other doctors, so I came here today and did not dare to use medicine. ”

"But I believe in Lord Lin's choice, he agreed to Pharmacist Liao's departure, it shouldn't be without self-knowledge. At the same time, I also believe in the arrangement of Pharmacist Liao, he is actually an extremely careful person. Wu Ze paused slightly at this point, and then continued: "Maybe the two of them have discussed something alone, but you don't know. But since the two of them have reached a consensus on certain things, Wu thinks you can rest assured. If Pharmacist Liao decided on something, sometimes it would be more difficult for him to listen to persuasion than Lord Lin, and if he knew that his patient was reluctant, he would definitely be the first to jump out and stop him. ”

Chen Jiu remembered the picture of Liao Shi solemnly forbidding Lin Shan to drink wine at the banquet yesterday afternoon.

As for Wu Ze's point of view, Jiang Chao on the side quickly nodded and agreed.

"I won't apply the medicine without permission." Wu Ze, who was sitting on the chair, stood up at this time, tied his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Arrange a person to stay here, you have to work hard tonight, and check it every half an hour." It doesn't matter if it's just a little sweating or fever, these are normal symptoms after getting drunk. When I was checking Lord Lin's pulse just now, I didn't think there was anything abnormal about his pulse, so I just had to sleep peacefully for one night and wait for the alcohol to subside. ”

The other two people in the hall were most relieved when they heard this.

But after a while, Chen Jiu still couldn't help but ask with some concerns: "But...... He's sleeping too heavily like this......"

"Hehe, don't worry too much, to explain it with pharmacology, wine is actually a kind of poison that hurts the body." Wu Ze smiled indifferently, "Fifty years of poison, who can't be immediately 'poisoned'?" ”

Chen Jiu was slightly stunned, and then said with a relieved smile: "If Mr. is not afraid, I still have a pot of thirty-year-old 'poison' there, which can be used for Mr. to appreciate." ”

Wu Ze's eyes really lit up slightly, but he quickly waved his hand again and said: "No, people are in the field, drunk and no one picks them up, but it is a shame, it is better to choose the opportunity to go home and eat the two taels of yellow wine from the old wife." ”

Chen Jiu knew that it was difficult for Wu Ze to relax when he was in the realm of this residence, which was a strong sense of responsibility and habit that he had cultivated over the years in the medical path. And in order to keep his mind clear enough, he only ate five minutes full of food during the visit.

Just now he verbally blamed Chen Jiu for not inviting him to the banquet yesterday, but in fact, even if he invited him over, he might not agree. As soon as the fifty-year-old wine was on the table, even he was afraid that he would not be able to control it, but after Liao Shi left, a certain burden on the side of the residence had to be on his shoulders, and he had to always be clear about his choice.

After sending Wu Xue away, Jiang Chao returned to the hall and said that he would stay behind tonight, but was dissuaded by Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu said slowly: "You all have heavy tasks during the day, and I, a woman, can't share the heavy and tiring work for you, so I can really do something for you at this time." ”――

(To be continued......)
