Let Mu Li accompany Nalan Jinxiu, who wandered in the night market all night, and finally discovered the wonderful use of barley. Because of the heavy rain, many wandering beggars were soaked and crowded in front of an ordinary medicine store. There was a little medicine boy in the medicine shop, who was boiling soup in a large pot at the door and distributing it to the beggars.

Nalan Jinxiu sniffed the smell and came to the pharmacy, the pharmacy is not big, but it has a very nice name - Shennong Baicao.

"Is the girl going to see a doctor or to take medicine?" asked an old man with a long beard.

"I'm curious what's going on in that pot at the door?"

"Oh, some cold warming stuff. ”

"Can you give me a bowl?"

The old doctor glanced at her and felt that this girl was well-dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, and no matter how she looked at it, she was not a person who lacked a bowl of cold soup. As soon as Nalan Jinxiu came into contact with his eyes, she knew what he was thinking, she pulled Mu Li to the old doctor, and said honestly: "He was drenched in the rain before, I was afraid that he would catch the cold." ”

So the old doctor turned his inquiring gaze to Mu Li. Mu Li rarely goes out, most of the time is training, even if he wants to go out, he has a task on his body, and he is most afraid of the attention of others. It was the first time he had been looked at so closely, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, and turned his eyes to Nalan Jinxiu.

Nalan Jinxiu smiled at him, so bright that he couldn't bear to refuse. He stiffened himself and let the old doctor look at him. Mu Li's look just now did not escape the eyes of the old doctor, he stroked his beard, and said as if unintentionally: "If the girl wants to drink, just give you a bowl." ”

"Thank you then. As she spoke, Nalan Jinxiu took out a small bowl from Mu Li's sleeve and asked the little medicine boy to scoop a bowl of soup for her.

There were many beggars outside the door, and Nalan Jinxiu saw that the pharmacy was empty, so he sat down in the corner and took a sip. There was a little bit of bitterness, and a little bit of spiciness, and she sniffed it again. Ginger, fragrant herbs, long tomato, Qianghuo and barley must have been boiled with these herbs.

"Do you have barley in your cold warming soup?" asked the old doctor.

"Hmm. ”

"Barley is a plant that is only found in Chiyang City, and I've never heard of it being used in medicine, but I beg you to give me some questions. ”

Nalan Jinxiu knows that doctors have their own secret recipes, and there are even many people who only sell medicine and do not sell it, and they will give it to you after boiling it, and they will not even let the medicine residue be seen. Because people also rely on this to eat, so it's understandable to keep some.

For a doctor, eating herbs and distinguishing medicinal properties, if he can compile a pharmacopoeia, he will die without regrets. Nalan Jinxiu has such a wish, in his lifetime, he can travel all over the great rivers and mountains, enrich the varieties of medicine, and live up to so many years of hard study. If others ask this question, they will be a little embarrassed, but she asks calmly.

The old doctor was a kind man, and he didn't intend to hide it, so he said: "At first, I didn't know, but then I received a person who was suffering from cold, and that person was a miracle doctor, and he only asked me to ask for some medicinal herbs and add an appropriate amount of barley, and the soup cooked out could control the cold." ”

"Didn't you ask him how to use the barley?"

He only said that boiling water from barley can ward off cold, which is why people in northern Xinjiang believe that barley wine can cure diseases. It's just that barley is easy to react with drugs, and there are no other drugs that can be fused with it except ginger, fragrant herb, long tomato, and Qianghuo. ”

This means that barley is very limited. ”

"No, it's because I'm not good at it. The miracle doctor can use it to inject a lot of medicine, but this thing has to be determined according to the patient itself and the situation of the medicine needed, how to put it, and when to put it. ”

Nalan Jinxiu frowned: "Didn't you say that barley is easy to react with other drugs?"

"Yes. It's just that the state of the reaction is different, that is, in some cases, the medicine is boiled to three points, and just the right amount of barley is added, and the medicinal properties can be improved. But sometimes it needs to be boiled with other herbs, and sometimes it needs to be added at four, five, or seven minutes, in short, it is very variable. ”

Hearing him say this, Nalan Jinxiu felt that it was extremely difficult to use barley in medicine, and he must be very familiar with all pharmacology. In this way, I was very curious about the healer who suffered from cold.

The old doctor shook his head: "That's a divine doctor, if it's really in our Chiyang City, how can no one know." I think he was just passing by, and now he doesn't know where to go. ”

Nalan Jinxiu always felt that there was an inexplicable connection between the barley and the master, and this doctor who suffered from cold, since he was a miracle doctor and knew how to use the barley, maybe the master might not be able to say. She thought for a moment and said, "What does that divine doctor look like?"

"Anyway, my old man is already half of his body in the ground, and I have never seen a more handsome man than him. ”

Nalan Jinxiu frowned: "You saw his appearance?"

"That's nature, I'm not blind old man. ”

Nalan Jinxiu was speechless by the old doctor's domineering language, since that person showed his true face, then he was not a master. She couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, although she and her master didn't get along for a long time, but one day as a teacher, a lifelong father, she always remembered his kindness as a professor back then.

"Isn't the girl also a practitioner of medicine?"

Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "I know a little bit about it." ”

"Oh, if that girl is interested, she can come and talk to me when she has time. "When people live to a certain age and go through a lot of things, they don't care so much about the distinction between men and women.

"Okay, I see a lot of beggars coming here, are you giving them free medical treatment?"

The old doctor smiled and said, "It's just to do my best and practice medicine for most of my life, and my wish now is to help more people, so as not to waste my medical skills." ”

Nalan Jinxiu stood up, bent down slightly and saluted the old doctor, and said respectfully: "My name is Bai Jin, dare to ask the old gentleman's name? ”

Mu Li watched her casually pull out her name, and she could still salute properly, and was stunned for a while. He felt that he really didn't know much about the county lord more and more, and she could talk to ordinary herb doctors for so long in such a place. What he didn't expect was that she knew how to heal, and she would come here for free treatment. How can this be?

When the old doctor heard her say this, he was very pleased, he had practiced medicine for many years and was a very kind person, and he did not intend to use her in vain. But looking at her clothes and style, she should be from a rich family, and she didn't miss him a little silver, so she said: "The contemptible surname is Hu, don't look at my medicine shop is not big, there are many patients, if the girl can come, I am welcome." ”

"Then it's decided, I'll come over as soon as I have time. ”

Doctor Hu looked at her again with a little more appreciation in his eyes, she and Mu separated, and the old man condescended to send them away. Nalan Jinxiu was bored in the house during this time, and when she thought that she could make a living tomorrow, her gloomy mood was much better.

"County Lord......" Mu Li stopped talking.

"Well, what's wrong?" Nalan looked at him puzzled.

He was her bodyguard, and he shouldn't have disobeyed her mind, but practicing medicine here is not an easy matter. The first is her identity, which does not allow her to always show her face outside. Secondly, Chiyang City is infested with spies from various tribes of Northern Yan, and if she knows her identity, it will inevitably bring danger to her.

"Mu Li?"

"The subordinates want to say that the county lord should not practice medicine outside, it is too dangerous. ”

Nalan Jinxiu wanted to ask him why, but he thought that this side of Northern Xinjiang was indeed different from Jinling. There is a third brother in Jinling, he reads a lot, but there is no rule that women should follow three virtues and four virtues. He was there for her, and he was there for her no matter what. Reliving this life, the only one who can make her trust with all her heart is the third brother.

There are many wars in northern Xinjiang, and if she insists on coming out, her father and brother will definitely follow her, but she is afraid that she will have to find someone to protect her. She originally occupied Xu Jinsheng's body, so she should think more about others and not be disgusted. She was silent for a while, but still said, "Then I, then I won't come out." ”

Mu Li could sense that what she said was insincere, and also, raising her in the palace was like a bird living in a golden cage, and no one would be happy! But it is not a trivial matter for her to go out to practice medicine after all, and she must always ask the son of the world.

"The county lord hasn't visited the market in Chiyang City yet, and his subordinates will show you around. ”

Most of Mu Li's words were suspected of currying favor with her, although he was a wooden face all year round, Nalan Jinxiu could still detect his caution. Actually, he should be a very kind person, and he was afraid that she would be sad, so he wanted to comfort her.

"Well, do you know what the street is good at?"

"My subordinates don't know. ”

"There's a lot of fun to be had. ”

Mu Li still shook his head ignorantly: "I don't know." ”

Nalan Jinxiu's face was black, she didn't know anything about Chiyang City, and he was the same as her. This is not to blame him, he has been trained so rigorously every day, and he has probably never experienced what it is like to play and eat casually.

Mu Li scraped his temples with his index finger and said seriously: "Let's take a look at it one by one, it's still early anyway." ”

It's not easy, and she can still play outside. In Nalan Jinxiu's heart, Mu Li is too decent. Afraid of this, afraid of that, as if she was papier-mâché, the wind could blow her away. She nodded, and her tone couldn't hide her pleasure: "That's good, as long as you don't keep urging me to go back." ”

Mu Li looked at her excited, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and pull out a slight smile. She is the lord of the county, so she doesn't have to listen to him, and she can even embarrass him, but she has never done this. In fact, she is a very kind person, and wanting to come out to practice medicine is also part of her kindness?
