22. Mandarin duck land, indiscriminate medical treatment

Awakened the next day by the shouting of the courtyard, he got up and went to the eaves to see that everyone was working together to remove the tree that had been cut down last night. It's just that the two men on the tree can hug together, and the rain is gradually increasing, so there is nothing to do about it. The housekeeper of the Tong family was angry and annoyed when he saw that the tree was not moving, but he could only beckon people to come back to hide from the rain.

"When the rain stopped, I went out over the wall and borrowed an axe from the nearby villagers to chop off the branches before I could move them." Li Xuan said.

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "We can wait, but my girl can't wait, she has been burning for two or three days in a row, and if she continues like this, she will be burned to stupid if she is not stupid." ”

Li Xuan frowned slightly, there is no store in front of the village here, and now it is really tricky to encounter this situation again. He thought for a moment before he pondered: "I have read a few medical classics below......

"Xianggong, you want to save my girl!" The housekeeper grabbed Li Xuan's hand, "Now I can only rely on you." ”

Li Xuan couldn't struggle, but he also hesitated again and again, "I don't know much about medicine, and I only know a little about the skin, and it is absolutely impossible to see a doctor and save people......

"Xianggong, don't shirk now, you have read the medical book, it is better than our big words and don't know a liter, you can help my girl take a look."

Li Xuan wanted to just say which kinds of medicines could treat typhoid fever and ask the housekeeper to send someone to find it, but he was pushed and pulled to become a doctor. But he couldn't even diagnose the pulse, so he simply asked the girl about her symptoms, and then went out with an umbrella to look for medicine. Along the way, his entourage Gui Sheng muttered that he was salty and eating radishes.

He glanced at Gui Sheng, rolled up his robe, and said in a deep voice: "It's impossible to die without help." ”

"What if something happens to you?" Gui Sheng looked distressed, and seriously gave Li Xuan an umbrella, and the raindrops almost fell on him.

"It's just ordinary typhoid fever, and it's also an ordinary medicine, how can it eat dead people?" Li Xuan shook the soil on the forsythia and put it into the cloth bag.

Before Gui Sheng could say something, he heard someone shouting: "Li Xianggong, come over and see if this is licorice." ”

Li Xuan walked over when he heard this, and Gui Sheng didn't speak anymore.

The group braved the heavy rain to find some medicine for more than an hour before bringing back some medicine, leaving everyone busy taking the medicine to wash. Li Xuan was shivering from the cold, changed his clothes and sat by the fire to drink the ginger soup boiled by the Tong family. The housekeeper changed his clothes and came over to thank Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan was exhausted, waved his hand and said that he wanted to rest, wrapped in a blanket and turned over to rest. This sleep lasted until the evening, and it was Gui Sheng who woke him up when he called him to eat.

He took the porridge and asked, "Is the boy girl better?" ”

"The high fever has subsided, and I can barely stand up and drink some porridge."

Li Xuan glanced at the porridge in the bowl, smiled and said that it would be good to wake up. After dinner, Li Xuan was about to read a book, when the housekeeper of the Tong family came in again, took some pastries, and said that he was thanking Li Xuan for treating his master.

Gui Sheng teased on the side: "I saved someone's life, and some pastries were gone?" ”

The housekeeper laughed, "Little brother laughed, Li Xianggong is the benefactor of my Tong family, don't be lazy, it's just that here are wild and wild, and there are only some pastries that can't be put on the table, and I hope Li Xianggong won't dislike it." When I arrive in the capital, I must thank you. ”

"Mr. is serious, the rough man doesn't know the etiquette, and he still looks at the public sea." Li Xuan got up and took the pastry with both hands, "Is Miss Zun better?" ”

"I'm in a lot better spirits, and now that I've taken the medicine, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, I can move the tree and start on the road."

Li Xuan nodded, "Then Mr. should rest early." ”

Steward Tong answered, took two steps back and left. Li Xuan looked at the pastry in his hand, took a piece, and gave the rest to the coachman and Gui Sheng, leaning against the pillar to read.

……

When I woke up the next day, the rain had stopped, the sun was rising from the mountains, and the whole temple was covered with a golden light, and everyone found a rusty axe out of nowhere, and was chopping the branches of the tree. When Steward Tong saw Li Xuan wake up, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "After pruning the branches, we can move the tree away." ”

Li Xuan nodded, and then saw the maid helping a plain girl out. The girl had been sick for a long time, and her face was pale and haggard, but she did not see any improvement. But the temperament of the body is not as good as other boudoir ladies, as if she came out of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Seeing this, Steward Tong hurriedly stepped forward to let her go back to the house to rest.

"I also want to ventilate outside the house, it's okay, it's much better, and it's good to take care of it on the road." The girl whispered softly, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Li Xuan looking at her.

Looking at each other, Li Xuan was a little embarrassed, and nodded with a smile. The girl also smiled gently, and the housekeeper glanced at the two of them and said to the boy, "Girl, it is Li Xianggong who braves the rain to collect medicine for you." ”

Hearing this, Tong Shuyan bowed, "Thank you Li Xianggong." ”

"Girls don't need to be polite."

The boy girl lowered her eyebrows, and the maid whispered something in her ear, and helped her away. Li Xuan got the permission of the housekeeper to go to the main hall to pack up his books and wait for him to pack them out, the branches of the broken tree had been pruned and he was moving the tree. Seeing this, Li Xuan also stepped forward to help, and more than a dozen people worked together to move the tree away.

At this time, the maid took out some pastries and distributed them to the people, saying that they had eaten breakfast and were in a hurry. Steward Tong invited Li Xuan to accompany him, Li Xuan wanted to refuse politely, but seeing Steward Tong's sincere expression, he couldn't bear to refuse. He couldn't have understood Steward Tong's thoughts very well. The boy is so seriously ill that she doesn't know when she will be able to go to a place where there is a pharmacy, and if he can deal with it or two, he will only have good people to do it to the end.

After a day's journey, we finally arrived at the post station before dark, and after dinner, the housekeeper Tong came to ask Li Xuan that the girl's health was much better, and whether the medicine was still the same.

This is a question of Li Xuan, it is already a fluke to be cured, where does he know how to increase or decrease the dosage of medicine? After thinking about it, I had to think about it and said: "Let's eat and eat again, there are just signs of improvement, if you stop the medicine, the condition will be recurred, it will not be good." ”

The butler looked a little hesitant, but he still nodded and retreated. Li Xuan looked at the figure of the housekeeper, and then remembered that there was a taste of Coptis chinensis in the medicine, which was so bitter that people couldn't open their mouths, so he sent Gui Sheng to tell the Tong housekeeper that if the Tong girl was no longer feverish, Coptis could be stopped.

After a day's journey, they were so exhausted that they fell asleep on their beds. When Li Xuan woke up the next day, everyone in the Tong family was already eating breakfast. He glanced at the girl on the side, and her complexion was much better than yesterday. At this time, the Tong girl suddenly looked up at Li Xuan, and looked at each other, Li Xuan was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly bowed.

When the young girl saw this, she was a little surprised, smiled at him, and bowed her head to eat breakfast. Li Xuan took a deep breath and began to bow his head to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Xuan waited for Gui Sheng to go upstairs to get his luggage, and when he came to the courtyard, he happened to see the boy girl and the maid picking plum blossoms. The crimson plum blossoms are all over the tree, and the crimson color is very pleasant, and it looks very pleasant. The boy girl took a plum blossom in her hand, pointed to the other branch and said to the maid: "That branch is not fully opened, you can raise it on the road and play." ”

The maid jumped up and tried a few times but couldn't reach it, the girl was a little deflated, and when she saw Li Xuan in a blink of an eye, she couldn't help but light up, but it dimmed again in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Li Xuan thought about it before taking a few steps forward and saluting the Tong girl, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to serve." ”

Miss Tong glanced at him, nodded and said softly, "Thank you Li Xianggong." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the maid aside.

Li Xuan raised his hand and folded a few branches, bowed down and offered them to the maid with both hands, and then the maid handed it over to the young girl.

The girl took the flowers, smiled and said thank you to Li Xuan, and then took the maid and walked away.

Li Xuan looked at the back of the two leaving, smiled faintly, turned his eyes to look at the plum blossoms full of trees, raised his hand and picked a branch and put it in his sleeve.

The boy girl took the flowers, and listened to the maid on the side saying that Li Xianggong was so and so and so, she quietly looked back at him, and happened to see him fold a plum blossom and put it in her sleeve. ”

She sighed softly, raised her eyebrows and smiled, and was helped by the maid into the car.

At this time, it was still in the first month, and in the cold season of spring, Tong Shuyan looked at the plum blossoms in the bottle, and didn't know what he was thinking. The maid Yalan lifted the curtain and came in and reminded her to take her medicine.

She took the medicine bowl and asked as if she remembered something: "I heard the housekeeper say that Li Xianggong is also from Qingping?" ”

Yalan nodded, "It is said that it is in Qingping City, and the family is engaged in a small business." ”

"Small business?" Tong Shuyan frowned and asked.

Arlan didn't care, "That's what he said, but judging by his conversation, it should be modest." ”

Tong Shuyan nodded thoughtfully, remembering Li Xuan's behavior, eating, dressing and talking, not like he was born in a small family. She lifted the medicine bowl, frowned and drank the medicine, "You should thank people when you return to Beijing." ”

Arran smiled, "It's natural. ”

Tong Shuyan stopped talking after drinking the medicine, looking at the few plum blossoms, Yalan took the bowl and retreated, and said to Tong Shuyan with a smile when he opened the curtain and came in again: "I heard a funny thing outside just now." ”

Seeing her eyebrows fluttering, Tong Shuyan was also interested, and asked with a smile: "What makes you so happy?" ”

"Just now, the geese in the roadside pond crowed twice, and Li Xianggong read a poem." She paused, and said in Li Xuan's tone, "Goose goose goose, cut with a knife." Pluck the feathers and add a ladle of water, light the fire and cover the pot. After saying that, he covered his mouth and laughed.

When Tong Shuyan heard this, he also smiled, leaning forward and backward with a smile, and said that his stomach hurts. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, otherwise it should be said that this girl is uneducated.

After laughing, she lifted the curtain, saying that it was breathable, but in fact she wanted to see how Li Xuan's serious appearance came up with such witticisms. This man did surprise her too much.

Lifting the curtain, I happened to see Li Xuan standing by the pond talking to the housekeeper, he smiled gently, the housekeeper was half a head shorter than him, and when the housekeeper spoke, he lowered his head to listen. Tong Shuyan smiled and was about to lower the curtain, but saw Li Xuan turn around and happened to see her.

Looking at each other, Tong Shuyan's heart jumped suddenly, no, if he didn't put down the curtain, he didn't put it down. Li Xuan didn't have any special expression, just smiled at her faintly and nodded. She had to nod and smile, and then slowly lowered the curtain.

Yalan looked at his master and said a little strangely: "The girl's illness is committed again?" Why is your face red again? ”

As soon as Yalan said this, she only felt that her face was hotter, and she subconsciously touched it, and hurriedly said that it was okay.

Yalan looked uneasy, "Let's ask Li Xianggong to come over and have a look." ”

Hearing this, Tong Shuyan's heart was even more like a drum, and he grabbed Yalan's hand and said: "The car is a little stuffy, it's not a big deal, don't alarm him." ”

Yalan held her hand and felt that her body temperature was normal, so she relieved herself, "Then don't blow the wind, it will be more troublesome to catch a cold later." As he spoke, he raised his hand and fastened the curtain.

Tong Shuyan sighed in his heart, but didn't say anything in the end, but leaned on the carriage and looked at the plum blossoms.
