"Okay." He Jiao nodded hurriedly, "I'll accompany you up the mountain tomorrow." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Nan should get down and open the acupuncture box again, "Please lie down on the bed and roll up the sleeves and trouser legs." The sleeves are rolled up to the elbows and the trouser legs are rolled up to the knees. ”

After a slight pause, he said, "Prepare me another bowl of wine, do you have a lighter?" ”

He Jiao asked: "No one smokes in my house, is it okay to have matches?" ”

"Okay."

Father He helped Mother He to lie down on the side of the bed, and prepared according to Xiao Nan's previous instructions.

Xiao Nan slowly walked to the bedside and whispered: "This mountain is already desolate, and the yin qi is very heavy, and my aunt must have been infected with cold air in that heavy rain. ”

Father He was puzzled: "But didn't she have a severe cold and a serious illness?" ”

He Jiao walked into the room with a bowl of wine and put it on the cabinet next to the bed. She took out a small packet of matches from her pocket, handed it to Xiao Nan, and asked softly, "Is this okay?" ”

"That's enough." Xiao Nan nodded, and then continued to explain, "Although the severe cold has healed, the cold in the body is always there. If my aunt was seriously ill, she must have lacked the necessary care. How long did her bad cold last? Is there a month? ”

Father He's face was embarrassed: "At that time, Xiaojiao was too young, and there was still farm work at home, and he was poor, and he had no money for treatment. She was sick, and she had to take care of the house, and she was sick for more than two months. ”

"Two months? It's already good that no one died. Xiao Nan frowned slightly, and threw the dozens of silver needles he picked out into the wine bowl to soak, "Although the wind cold is a minor illness, if it is not well cared for, it is easy to have a big problem." Although my aunt's cold has cured, the cold in my body has always been there, and there is no catharsis. Get out. These cold qi accumulate in the meridians, injuring the bone marrow, and eventually causing nerve problems, resulting in convulsions all over the body. ”

He struck a match again, lit the bowl of wine, and stared at the flames rising rapidly in the bowl: "Auntie's illness is heavy at night and light at night, because the cold at night is heavier, and it is very easy to cause cold. And not only that, her condition is heavier on rainy days than on sunny days, and it is the same for autumn and winter to be heavier than spring and summer. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." He Mu nodded again and again, "Xiao Nan, what you said is not bad at all, a rainy day is the time when I suffer the most." If it weren't for the reluctance to be a little Jiao, I wouldn't want to live a long time ago. ”

"Auntie don't speak, start treatment now." Xiao Nan's voice fell, and he quickly reached into the flame-filled wine bowl and pinched a silver needle, piercing into the acupuncture points on the surface of He Mu's body.

He poured enough true qi into this silver needle, and as soon as he pierced into the acupuncture point, He Mu's forehead began to sweat: "It's so hot..."

"It's normal." Xiao Nan said lightly, skillfully piercing dozens of silver needles one by one, causing Father He and He Jiao to stand aside, stunned.

Although Father He has been a farmer all his life and has no knowledge, he still can't help but say: "What a miracle doctor..."

After all the needles were pierced into the acupuncture points, Xiao Nan raised his hand to cover the wine bowl, and then looked at He Mu, who was already sweating like rain.

Father He leaned over to his wife and asked cautiously, "How do you feel?" ”

"It's warm all over my body," He Mu said, "It's so hot, my clothes are soaked with sweat, you go find a towel and wipe it for me." ”

"Hey, good." Father He hurriedly responded and turned around to get the towel.

"That's pretty much it." Xiao Nan nodded, and waited for a while before starting to pull out the needle, "I have stabilized the cold in my aunt's body, at least they can stop in the next two or three days." However, this method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. I have to go up the mountain tomorrow to pick herbs, so I have a good idea. ”

He turned his head to look at He Jiao's excited fair face: "If the medicinal materials here can't be gathered, we will have to go back and forth again." ”

"Ah, how good is this..."He Jiao habitually wanted to excuse herself, but she thought about her mother, who was suffering from illness, and had to lightly tap her snow-white chin, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Nan grinned: "Hehe, family, what are you polite..."

He Jiao seemed to think of something, and couldn't help blushing.

Xiao Nan took the needle and said to Mother He: "Auntie, how are you feeling now?" ”

He Mu sat up from the bed under the concerned gaze of others, moved her limbs, and the look on her face could be described as "ecstasy": "It doesn't hurt anymore?" Don't shake anymore? It's amazing! ”

"Really?" He Jiao also leaned over excitedly, "Mom, doesn't it hurt at all?" ”

"yes." He Mu nodded fiercely, "It doesn't hurt at all, it's light, it's like I'm back to twenty-three years old." ”

"Xiao Nan! Thank you! He Jiao couldn't help but reddened her eyes, suddenly got up and hugged Xiao Nan tightly, and kept whispering, "Thank you, thank you..."

Xiao Nan felt the soft and delicate body trembling slightly in his arms, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, such a big person, how can he still be like a child..."

Mother He also cried excitedly: "It's been seventeen years, and it's finally better." ”

And Father He looked at this scene stupidly, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "Xiao Nan, you are the great benefactor of our He family." ”

Xiao Nan originally wanted to enjoy He Jiao's soft and warm embrace, but when he saw Father He kneeling, he hurriedly let go of the beautiful woman in his arms and helped him up: "Uncle, what are you doing?" How can I be so virtuous, how can I stand such a big gift from you. ”

"That's it." Mother He wiped her tears and complained, "Xiao Nan and Xiaojiao became a family, I want to call you a father, you knelt down for him, what is this..."

The improvement of He's mother's health swept away the gloom that hung over this miserable family, and the room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

A few people chatted for a while, and Mother He suddenly said: "Xiao Nan came all the way and was busy treating me, so I'm very tired now, right?" The house is cleaned up for you, so let's go to sleep. ”

When Xiao Nan heard her say this, he couldn't help yawning: "I'm really a little tired." ”

He said and stood up: "Uncle and aunt, then I'll wash my face and go to rest first." ”

"Well, you and Xiaojiao should go." He Mu smiled kindly, and the more she looked at Xiao Nan, the more satisfied she felt in her heart, "The quilts are all new, clean and clean, you can sleep with confidence." ”

He Jiao's face suddenly turned red, and she said to Xiao Nan with a weak mosquito: "I'll take you to wash." ”

"yes, okay." Xiao Nan didn't realize it and followed her out of the house.

He Jiao came to the well to fetch water, always keeping her head down, her eyes dodging, and she didn't dare to look at Xiao Nan.

"It's still good that the water in the mountains is good, it's cool and refreshing." Xiao Nan washed his face and was about to wash his feet again, He Jiao suddenly squatted down and squatted down.

He hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, Sister He, I'll just come by myself." ”

"I really don't know how to repay you." He Jiao pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Don't you shirk, just let me serve you for a while, okay?" Otherwise, I really don't want to go. ”

Xiao Nan stared at her pretty face, hesitated for a moment, and nodded lightly: "Okay, but only this once." A woman like you shouldn't do such a job. ”

He Jiao washed his feet, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "I'm not the daughter of the golden branch and jade leaf, what else can I do if I don't do such a job?" ”

"Sister He." Xiao Nan looked at her and said very seriously, "You are a daughter in my eyes, and you should be pampered and loved by men." ”

He Jiao's body trembled, her face stiffened slightly, and then she smiled again: "What nonsense, how can I have such a good life." In this life, all kinds of things don't go well, and I can't do anything well, and I've already seen it. As long as my parents are safe, I don't dare to have extra extravagant hopes. So, Xiao Nan. ”

She suddenly raised her pretty face, and her eyes were shining: "You are my lucky star, with you protecting me, all these years of hard work are nothing." ”

"Huh." Xiao Nan grinned, "Sister He, you are my treasure, if I don't protect you, who else can I protect?" ”

He Jiao looked at him in a daze, suddenly blushed, and lowered her head again.

"Sister He, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Nan looked at her shyness and asked with a puzzled expression.

"There's something I have to tell you..."He Jiao didn't dare to raise her head at all, and said timidly, "My house only has two bedrooms, my mother has already made the bed, and the two of us... We might have to stay together tonight..."

"Huh?" Xiao Nan shuddered, "This... How does this work? Sister He, absolutely not. ”

"Xiao Nan, I know, I've wronged you a little..."

"What are you kidding? Is this a grievance against me? This is a grievance against you. ”

He Jiao still didn't look up, pursed her lips and said, "Or... You live in the house, and I'll wait for my parents to fall asleep, and then I'll go outside and spend the night..."

"Not even so." Xiao Nan hurriedly waved his hand, "It's so cold at night, how can you sleep as a woman?" Otherwise, I'll go outside..."

"Absolutely not." He Jiao suddenly raised her pretty face and vetoed it directly, "You have helped me so much, you are the great benefactor of our family, how can I get you out?" If I do that, am I still human? ”

"Sister He, it's okay, when I used to learn art from Master..."

He Jiao interrupted him: "Xiao Nan, absolutely not." Can you understand how guilty I would feel if I let you sleep outside at night? ”

The corners of Xiao Nan's mouth tugged slightly: "Then or... How about I sleep in your living room? And two stools would be fine. ”

He Jiao's face suddenly blushed: "My parents thought that we slept together, if you propose to sleep in the living room, they will definitely suspect..."

"Uh..." Xiao Nan had nothing to do, blinked his eyes, and then said carefully, "Sister He, or... Let's spend the night together. ”
