"Now, I'm just waiting for Brother Mancang to come." Gu Qingzhu smiled brightly, hiding the girl's naughtiness.

Just as Gu Shigen wanted to ask carefully, the door of the consultation room opened, and Tan Lide and Zhang Pingjin walked out covered in blood.

Gu Daya, who had been staring at the door, rushed up desperately, grabbed the corner of Tan Lide's clothes, and asked eagerly, "How is my father?" ”

"Don't worry, girl, your father's life will be saved after all, he has drunk hemp and boiled at this time, and he is still asleep, you can see him later." Zhang Pingjin took a step forward and stopped Gu Daya.

The guy next to him let Tan Lide into the inner hall to rest, he has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he has only stood for more than an hour, his back hurts, and he is tired.

He ...... He's going to have his legs fine, right? Gu Shigen and the others gathered around and asked expectantly.

Zhang Pingjin glanced at them, and said with a calm face: "His leg is seriously injured, and he has been delayed for too long, it is certain that he will be disabled, I will tell you the truth, if he can walk without crutches in the future, it will be the best result." ”

"Daddy!" Hearing this, Gu Daya plunged into Gu Qingzhu and cried profusely.

Gu Qingzhu's heart ached, hugged her, and cried with her.

"There's no other way? This is the best medicine store in Nancang County! Gu Shigen said with red eyes.

Zhang Pingjin's eyes moved slightly: "You can also see that it was Mr. Tan who personally grafted the bones, and I just helped to beat it, the doctor has done his best, and you still have to serve the rest wholeheartedly, I hope he can recover better." ”

"But we have no tiles here, no inch of land under the tile, the winery can't go back, if you look back at the family pass, don't say that the mountain road is difficult to travel for more than ten miles, even if it is an ox cart back to Cuiping Town, he can't sit on it." Gu Qingshui's eyebrows tightened, and he said anxiously.

"Now, Uncle Fu is seriously injured, and he still needs to change his medicine and drink medicine every day, so we can only find a cheap hotel to settle down first, and when his injury is better, let's talk about going back." Gu Qingzhu wiped his tears and said.

"I know that this is a good arrangement, but it costs money to eat and live in a hotel, and all the money we have in our hands is the twenty taels, so how can we have spare money!" Gu Shigen sighed deeply.

"Money, I have it!" As soon as the door darkened, a tall figure walked in.

"Brother Mancang!" Gu Qingzhu looked back in surprise.

Gu Daya wiped it on her face with the back of her hand, and then whispered with a crying voice.

Liang Mancang originally accompanied the county lord Su Jin today, and met the chief student officer Shen Hongshen in the county school, he was a fifty-year-old, amiable old man, seeing that the autumn examination was about to be held, the two discussed how to arrange for the students in the county school of Nancang County to participate.

Cui Fu sent Gu Shifu to Dexing, and sent the official to inform Liang Mancang on horseback, in case he was anxious, he only said that Gu Qingzhu was looking for him, and did not mention Gu Shifu's injury.

But this also caused him to be restless, and when he finally got Su Jin back to the yamen, he found that Gu Qingzhu was not there, he was even more anxious, and he beat the horse and followed the yamen, and when he saw that he was coming to Dexing Pharmacy, he knew that something was wrong.

"What the hell is going on?" Liang Mancang looked at their embarrassed appearance and asked.

"Hey, it's a long story," Gu Shigen said the cause ......and effect again.

Liang Mancang listened sullenly, his face growing angry, and his fists clenched.

Cui Fu stepped forward, put a hand on Liang Mancang's shoulder seemingly casually, turned his head to the others and said: "It's important to take care of the village chief at the moment, if you can trust me, I will take you to a hotel, if you plan to stay for ten days and half a month, I can also help you negotiate a little more, his house is small, and it is not in the bustling area of the West Market, but it is easy to take a shortcut and pass through a small alley, and it is very convenient to see a doctor and grab medicine." ”

"You know Nancang County well, of course we believe you, please wait for Uncle Fu to wake up and make arrangements." Gu Qingzhu pulled Gu Daya to bow down.

"Then you grab the medicine first, he is seriously injured, today and tomorrow are the most dangerous, Mr. Tan is not at ease, said that he will stay in the medicine store for a day or two, so that he can see a doctor and give medicine at any time, so that you can have time to go out and find a hotel to resettle."

In addition, Mr. Tan also said that Miss Gu has a relationship with Dexing, and if she does not have enough money, the cost of ointment and medicinal materials can be temporarily owed on credit, and she will pay it when it is convenient in the future. Zhang Pingjin handed the two prescriptions to Gu Qingzhu.

"Thank you so much!" Gu Qingzhu thanked again and again.

Gu Daya didn't worry about her father Gu Shifu, and when she saw Gu Qingzhu grabbing medicine, she rushed into the consultation room.

Seeing Gu Shifu's miserable white face, closed eyes, I don't know what he was thinking in his sleep, or if it hurts, his thick black eyebrows have not been stretched, and the center of his eyebrows is wrinkled with deep Sichuan characters.

Gu Daya didn't dare to cry, so she only knelt on the ground carefully, grabbing his rough big hand.

The large palm is warm and thick, which is extremely reassuring.

The medicinal effect of the hemp boiling powder quickly passed, Gu Shifu was woken up by the pain, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Daya kneeling in front of the bed with a red nose and red eyes, he raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to touch his daughter's hair, but the pain and exhaustion made him unable to even do this.

The subtle movements alarmed Gu Daya, she looked at Gu Shifu's face along her arm, and said in surprise: "Dad, you're awake!" ”

"Uncle Fu!" Gu Qingzhu heard the voice and trotted in to see.

The consultation room was so small that no one else could squeeze in, and they all stood at the door, their faces beaming with the joy of the rest of their lives.

"You're all alright, what about the others?" Gu Shifu's gaze slid over everyone's faces, and he asked in a dumb voice.

Gu Shigen squeezed out a little ugly smile and comforted: "We're all fine, you take care of your injuries, don't think too much." ”

"Is my leg amputated?" Gu Shifu's leg hurt very badly, and he asked in a cold sweat.

"Uncle Fu, there is nothing to do, it is Mr. Tan who personally grafted the bones for you, and it will be fine in a few days!" Gu Qingzhu raised the corners of his mouth and pretended to be cheerful.

"Then let's go, don't take someone's bed for nothing." Gu Shifu said, he wanted to get up, but he was weak for a while, and he couldn't support it.

Gu Daya hugged him and helped him to sleep: "Dad, Mr. Tan left you here for two days to recuperate, and said that you can pay it on credit, so don't worry about money." ”

Gu Shifu, who was lying down again, was like a mirror in his heart, Dexing Pharmacy was constantly seeing people every day, if he was not seriously ill, how could there be a clinic dedicated to him, and he would use it for two or three days.

"Uncle Fu, you recuperate, let's come when we go." Gu Qingzhu glanced at Gu Daya, who bit her lip and agreed.

"Hmm." Gu Shifu snorted, and the bone-crushing pain came up again, sweeping through everyone.

Everyone retreated, Gu Shigen left Fang Kui in the medicine shop, just in case, and asked the others to go back to the wine shop to pack up their things, since they didn't do it, it was better to leave early, so as not to be thrown out.

Gu Qingzhu, Liang Mancang and Gu Shigen followed Cui Fu to see the hotel, and sure enough, as he said, passing through a remote alley, it was an inconspicuous small hotel, the owner was an elderly couple, employing two middle-aged women, the store was clean and tidy, and the bedding and straw mats were dry and comfortable.

Gu Shigen and Gu Qingzhu looked everywhere and were very satisfied, so they booked two rooms for men and women, because they booked for ten days at once, the shopkeeper gave them a twenty percent discount, and the price was very affordable.

Liang Mancang paid the deposit, a few people left the hotel, Cui Fu hurried to the yamen, and said a few words before leaving, Gu Shigen was afraid that the people in the wine shop would fight again, so he also left in a hurry.

"Brother Mancang, what is the most gluttonous food now?" Gu Qingzhu asked thoughtfully.

Liang Mancang thought for a while and said: "It's too hot at this time, I don't have an appetite for anything, two days ago, the pond sent some newborn lotus roots, crispy and sweet when eaten raw~ juicy, fried and cooked, sweet and tender, this also has a nice name, called fragrant flower lotus, we don't have this in Gujiaao, if you want to eat, I will take you to the pond to ask for a few to taste." ”

"Okay." Gu Qingzhu took the lead and left.

Liang Mancang looked at her suspiciously, urging Chaiyun to catch up: "Qingzhu, you're not here to eat, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'll tell you when I can wait for the fragrant lotus root." Gu Qingzhu pursed his lips and said.

Liang Mancang turned over and stretched out his hand towards Gu Qingzhu: "Then come up, hurry up like this." ”

Gu Qingzhu did not hesitate to ride with him, and the two drove forward, and soon arrived at the thousand-acre wind pond.

The middle-aged servant who watched the pond had the most eyesight, he recognized the Xuanyi soap boots worn by Liang Mancang, and knew that he was a person from the yamen, so he piled up a smile on his face and waved at him: "Official, what are you doing?" ”

"It's not a big deal, just complain about me a lot, a few days ago, Master Mu sent some fragrant lotus roots to cook in the yamen, my sister was said to be greedy today, so I came to see it." Liang Mancang returned the salute with a fist and said with a smile.

The middle-aged servant looked at Gu Qingzhu and laughed, "It's no wonder girl, the fragrant lotus root of the Mu family is something that can be met but not sought, and at this time, you see, the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are not defeated, the hibiscus is in full bloom, the lotus pod is beginning to bear, and the lotus root in the pond is as sweet as honey, crisper than apples." ”

Gu Qingzhu looked at his fingers, and sure enough, in the thousands of acres of lotus ponds, lotus leaf fields, lotus canopy covered, the wind passed, the green leaves rolled, and the fragrance was fragrant.

"It's good for you to come and see, but don't bother me every day." Liang Mancang said deliberately.

When the middle-aged servant heard this, he smiled and said, "The girl has come all the way, and it is not good to go back empty-handed, you stay in the pergola for a while, and wait for me to pick some for the girl to bring." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Gu Qingzhu gave a gift.

The middle-aged servant waved his hand again and again, smiled on his face, pushed the boat, and went down to the pond, but after a while, he was covered by the wide lotus leaves, and he couldn't see anything.

About half an hour later, the middle-aged servant came back half wet, and in his boat lay four or five lotus roots as white as a beauty's arm, and seven or eight pink and delicate lotus flowers and green and full lotus flowers.

"I really don't know how to thank you." Gu Qingzhu hugged a handful wrapped in a large lotus leaf and said gratefully.

"The girl is polite, our lord said, this is not a valuable thing, if it really gets anyone's pleasure, it will naturally give some, this is all love." The middle-aged servant lowered his head and twisted his clothes, a nonchalant smile on his face.

After getting what he wanted, Gu Qingzhu said goodbye, and Fu left on a horse with Liang Mancang.

At this time, a small boat docked, there was a bunch of hibiscus flowers and bones in the boat, and a handsome man wearing a smoke-colored snow silk robe walked down, he looked at the people and horses in the distance, and asked with his eyebrows: "Old Dengtou, who are those two?" ”
