Chapter Seventy-Four: The Upright Wang Tieniu Father and Son
As night fell, business at Admiralty City Inn was exceptionally good today.
More than 30 inns in the city, large and small, were all chartered by Yue Chen, the king of Pingxi, to entertain the disciples of the sect who came to participate in the competition.
Although most of the sects did not have the qualifications to enter the Sword Shrine, this did not prevent them from continuing to stay and watch the excitement.
Yue Chen was not in a hurry to drive them away, and having a good relationship with these sects was also part of his plan.
King of Admiralty Castle's blacksmith's house.
Yue Chen called the pulse of Wang Tieniu's mother and frowned.
Wang Tieniu's father and son on the side saw Yue Chen frowning, their hearts were tight, and Wang Blacksmith hurriedly asked:
"Lord, what kind of illness does my mother-in-law have! Why are you still frowning?"
Wang Tieniu also echoed casually:
"Yes, Lord Yue, what kind of illness does my mother have?"
Seeing that the two of them were so anxious, Yue Chen's frowning brows stretched out, and he smiled slightly:
"You don't have to worry too much, the illness that Mrs. Wang doesn't have is likely to be poisoned. ”
Wang Tieniu hurriedly asked:
"Why are you still poisoned, my family hasn't offended anyone, who wants to poison my mother?"
Yue Chen shook his head and asked Wang Tieniu's mother:
"Mrs. Wang, how long have you been suffering from this chest pain?"
Wang Tieniu's mother thought for a while and said:
"Hmm...... It should have started four years ago, and I remember that year when there was a flood, Tie Niu choked on water when he rescued people, and came back with a high fever for several days.
Tie Niu's father went up the mountain to catch a pheasant for Tie Niu and came back, I stewed chicken soup for Tie Niu, he drank three bowls, he sweated, and it was fine.
That is, from that year, when it rained on a cloudy day, my chest hurt, and this year it began to hurt even more, and when it hurt, I felt chills all over my body, and I had to cover it with a thick quilt on dog days!"
Yue Chen nodded and continued to ask:
"Have you ever had tingling in your fingertips or a swollen tongue?"
Wang Tieniu's mother nodded hurriedly and affirmed:
"Yes! Every now and then. ”
Yue Chen nodded, and asked Blacksmith Wang again:
"Blacksmith Wang, is the cockscomb of the pheasant you caught blue?"
The blacksmith thought for a moment, and then replied:
"Yes, the cockscomb is indeed blue, and I told my mother-in-law at the time that this pheasant must be unusual. ”
Yue Chen was basically sure in his heart now, and said:
"Mrs. Wang was poisoned by the cold poison of this blue-crowned cold bird, so her chest hurt when it rained on a cloudy day, and as time went by, her chest would hurt more and more. ”
Madame Wang shook her head and retorted:
"No, I didn't want to drink the chicken soup stewed by the iron cow, if it was poisoned, it should be poisoned by the iron cow!"
Yue Chen nodded and said:
"That's right, if you drink this 'chicken soup', you will be fine, as long as this blue-crowned cold bird is cooked, the cold poison will disappear, and the soup will become an extreme yang thing.
I guess you slaughtered it with a wound on your hand, and the blood of this 'chicken' was sprinkled on the wound, which caused you to get this cold poison!"
"Yes, yes, I remember that this chicken is very dishonest, and its two wings are also very strong, and I even cut my hand when I slaughtered it!"
Seeing that his mother had found out the root cause of the disease, Wang Tieniu hurriedly asked:
"Lord Yue, how can I solve this poison!"
Yue Chen smiled mysteriously, pointed at Wang Tieniu and said:
"Originally, if you want to cure this cold poison, you only need to drink the soup stewed by the bird, but now you can't find the blue-crowned cold bird, you can't stew it with the soup.
However, after you drank the soup stewed by the blue-crowned cold bird, the blood in your body has also become an extreme yang thing, and now you can only use you to detoxify your mother!"
When Wang Tieniu heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and said resolutely:
"Okay, you can take as much blood as you need, as long as you can stop my mother from suffering this crime, it will drain my blood, and I won't frown!"
Mrs. Wang made a straight face and scolded loudly:
"Tie Niu, what are you talking about, this kid, my mother can't die of pain, if you die, even if my mother hurts in her chest, she won't be able to live. ”
"Mother, my life is all given by you, and my son should do whatever he wants!"
Blacksmith Wang rubbed his hands and frowned, on one side is his son, on the other side is his wife, they are all his relatives, how can this be?
Seeing this, Yue Chen hurriedly stopped:
"Okay, okay, you two stop, when did I say that I wanted Wang Tieniu's life? He is as strong as a cow, and he can't die with two taels of blood every day!"
Listening to Yue Chen's words, the whole family was stunned and looked at Yue Chen stupidly.
Yue Chen took out a finger-thick piston device, with a needle inserted into it, and said to Wang Tieniu:
"Every morning, when there is no water and rice, I use this thing to take two taels of blood and mix them into one or two rice wines, and then put three ginger dates and a piece of honey into the blood, and the guy suffers for half an hour.
After the ginger jujube absorbs the blood wine, give it to your mother and take it for three consecutive days to drive away the cold poison in the body.
Remember to take blood in the early morning before the rice is eaten, and do not eat again after the first night. ”
Wang Tieniu muttered back and forth in his mouth several times, and said to Yue Chen:
"I wrote it down, hey, how many ginger dates are here?"
Yue Chen shook his head helplessly, took a pen and paper to write down the prescription, and handed it to Wang Tieniu, then he thought about it and asked:
"Wang Tieniu, are you illiterate?"
Yue Chen was definitely kind-hearted, and he was afraid that Wang Tieniu would not be illiterate so he asked.
Wang Tieniu didn't think much about it, patted his chest and replied:
"I am literate, my grandfather taught me to read when he was alive, that is, after practicing the iron-striking skills taught by my grandfather, it is a little different, where is the difference......
I can't speak, I'm literate anyway. ”
Yue Chen nodded with satisfaction, turned around and wanted to leave, but Wang Blacksmith and Wang Tieniu didn't stop him.
Yue Chen was a little embarrassed at this time, thinking that Blacksmith Wang could stop him, and then he took advantage of the situation to take the father and son under his command and arranged for them to go to Jinghai City......
In fact, Yue Chen didn't want to repay the favor, but he simply didn't want the craftsmanship of the father and son to be buried, and he really needed such a talent.
But Yue Chen missed the fact that the father and son were upright and had no heart, but fortunately, Mrs. Wang knew the general situation, stopped Yue Chen and said:
"The prince is so gracious, how can our family be grateful?"
When the blacksmith Wang heard this, he clapped his hands and said:
"Look at my brain, I patronized my mother-in-law's illness, I forgot to thank my benefactor, kneel!
After that, Wang Blacksmith slapped Wang Tieniu on the back, and the strength of this slap was really not small.
Wang Tieniu snorted, knelt on the ground, and said to Yue Chen:
"Lord, you saved my mother, how can I repay you, I don't have anything else, I just have the strength to do it, but I can't go with you, I have to serve my father and mother, and give them a pension. ”
Yue Chen was just about to push the boat down the river, but Wang Tieniu's words directly choked him back.
After slowing down for a while, Yue Chen let out a long breath and said:
"Blacksmith Wang, I don't know if you are willing to move your family to Jinghai City, I would like to ask your father and son to bring a group of apprentices out......"
