Chapter 18: The Beggar
As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a group of black-clothed people standing in a row to block the path at the entrance of the house, and the old man also wasted a lot of effort to squeeze in.
"Please let me, please let me ......" Cai Ling looked up at the five big and three thick strong men, and said with a smile. said that he would carry the sweet potatoes to other people's yards, but he couldn't know that others were in trouble, so he put down the picks and ran.
"Ginger...... Lingling Song...... The eldest sister ...... "Tao Tao stood at the end of the crowd, spreading his arms to protect the young woman he had seen in the morning and the little girl behind the woman.
Cai Ling was gray-headed, carrying a basket on her back, and there was a big wet piece on her buttocks, she was really embarrassed, without a little momentum, she approached Tao Tao's side and said in a deep voice: "It's almost there, don't make trouble if you are not familiar with life." ”
The woman next to her frowned, and Tao Tao comforted, "Don't listen to her nonsense." What kind of hero is he if he doesn't save him when he dies. It's on me today. ”
Cai Ling glared angrily, this kid really dared to take anything to his body, put the back basket down, and stretched out his hand to pull him away.
At this moment, a woman in brocade came forward and pointed at everyone and reprimanded, "Who are you?" Dare to break into the Peach Blossom Valley! Wait for me to report to the official and say that you will disturb Mr. Yu's Qingxiu, once you alarm the emperor, be careful of your head! ”
The leader was about forty years old, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a face full of meat, and his hands were clenched into fists, and Cai Ling hurriedly dodged it. But the man actually knelt on the mud ground with a thud: "I vomited blood for two days, please ask Mr. Yu to see a doctor, and I don't need to go to the house, the person is already lying in the carriage." ”
When Tao Tao saw this, he was a little moved, and said to the old man: "Old immortal, for the sake of others being so sincere, you can take a look." He said to the big man, "There is no shortage of silver!" ”
"Definitely! Certain! The other party actually kowtowed twice.
As if he hadn't heard of it, the old man took a small bench and sat down, and began to peel the mud from the sweet potatoes. Tao Tao still wanted to go and persuade him, but Cai Ling touched him with her elbow, and after meeting her eyes, she raised her chin and pointed at the young man she met in the middle of the mountain.
I saw that the man stood behind the crowd, indifferent, as if it was none of his business, until the big man also knelt down and pleaded with the old man repeatedly, and he walked slowly through the crowd.
"Brother Yu!" The woman in brocade hurriedly stepped forward and tried to pull his sleeve, but he raised his hand to avoid it and walked around his side.
Everyone noticed that the famous miracle doctor was the young man in front of them, and they couldn't help but sigh. The big man didn't give up, and quickly changed his position, kowtowed, and said, "The contemptible man kneels and begs Mr. Yu to come to his rescue." ”
Yu Moyan strode into the courtyard, did not look at Cai Ling and Tao Tao, only squatted down and picked up the little girl with a calm face, and walked into the hut in a few steps, "Let's go back." I have been out of medicine for many years, and I will not make an exception for you. “
"Don't leave yet!" The woman in brocade was the first to come forward to catch up, and it turned out to be the two of them.
"Let's go." Cai Ling took the basket of sweet potatoes handed by the old man.
"Let's leave for the time being, if the girl has something to do, go to the Xinglong Inn in Huaiyuan City to find a potter surnamed Song, and it will be below." Tao Tao bowed his hand and took his leave.
Cai Ling held back, and it wasn't until the two of them left the land of right and wrong that she twisted his ear and said, "Did you take a fancy to that woman?" Unexpectedly, he was about to move out of his family! Do you dare to flirt with a married woman? You can't tell that other people and children are playing soy sauce. ”
"Big sister." Tao Tao was in a good mood, patted her on the back and said, "Ben Shao has taken a fancy to her, but she is not a married woman, the child calls her aunt, woo la la......" humming a song.
"What do you call your father's concubine?" Cai Ling is not angry.
"Auntie......" The voice was like a gnat, and it was already a roar in an instant, "I don't believe it!" ”
"I don't believe it either." Cai Ling thought thoughtfully, "Mr. Yu is actually the same age as the Thirteenth Prince. “
Although Cai Ling repeatedly attacked Tao Tao, saying that all successful people usually only focus on one thing, for example, Qin Shi Huang is good at military affairs, you can't let him embroider, Master Lu Ban used wood to make birds to soar in the sky for three days and three nights, but he can't be a cook like no other in the world. Yu Moyan is a painting immortal in the world, a thousand gold, if he is a peerless famous doctor, wouldn't he let him take advantage of all the good things, it is really unreasonable.
But the next day, he dragged Tao Tao to inquire about the news in the city.
"Do you think I have any point?" No one answered, and Cai Ling turned his head to see Tao Tao slipping into the rouge shop. She is not angry, it is rare to see who Tao Tao is interested in, which is a good thing. The pharmacy on the street was very imposing, and she was expected to ask for some news, so she walked there.
"If you want to talk about this Mr. Yu, there is a story." The shopkeeper accepted her a turquoise, led her to the table, sat opposite each other, and chatted, "I heard that since childhood, I learned art with the doctor Shengbai Zhicao on Qianlai Mountain, and he is still good at painting landscapes while improving his medical skills, and his paintings are deeply respected by literati and scholars, famous businessmen and wealthy people, even the emperors of the two countries can't put it down, and they are really gods." “
"I heard that he is from Chang'an, how did he come to this far north?" Cai Ling asked.
"It starts with his deceased wife. I heard that Mr. Yu is a famous doctor idiot, with his wife and daughter all over the two countries, whether the family is rich or poor, but whenever he comes to Mr. Yu to see a doctor, all the medicine to the disease, for a while it is a good story, the family has to pay a lot of money, but the poor do not have to give a penny. For a time, the name of the miracle doctor spread all over the country, and he opened a medical hall in Youzhou City under the persuasion of his deceased wife. However, a year later, his wife, who had been helping him with chores, suddenly fell ill, and she couldn't afford to be sick in March, so she died, leaving a little girl to support him. Since then, Mr. Yu has abandoned medicine and lived in seclusion in his deceased wife's hometown, living with his deceased wife's father and sister, and concentrating on taking care of the doll, but unfortunately the girl is a ......"
"What is it......" Cai Ling hurriedly asked, but when she saw the shopkeeper's two-eyed round stool, she immediately stood up from her seat and muttered, "How could Mr. Yu come out of the valley today?" He pointed to Cai Ling again, "This ......"
Cai Ling hurriedly kicked his leg from under the table, stuffed another gold leaf into his hand, stood up and said, "Farewell." “
She beat a drum in her heart, holding her head high and pretending to pass by Yu Moyan who was standing at the door of the store, although she was very annoyed by his arrogance yesterday, today she listened to his experience but she had a great sense of pity for the people who had fallen from the end of the world.
"Jiang ......" he said suddenly, both of them were stunned, Cai Ling thought about Tao Tao yesterday called her surname in a hurry, it should have been exposed at that time.
"The little woman's name is 'Song Lingling'. Cai Ling said with a smile.
"Miss Song, please respect yourself." He was carrying a small bamboo basket on his back, which contained He Shou Wu and Cistanche, obviously a reckless man who went into the city to sell herbs, but he was like a venerable cultivator in the Taoist temple on the mountain, very high, "Don't inquire about my news again." “
Cai Ling wanted to talk back, but she couldn't say a word for a long time, so she turned around and ran away.
The heart is beating fast, that is the painting immortal that the literati and scholars in Chang'an City are competing to talk about, the annual painting appreciation conference is the grand event of Moyuan Pavilion, in the past, I could only touch those thick and light colors and fantasize about his appearance like an immortal, and now the living people are in front of me.
Her brain was like a mess, and she quickly found a place to sit down on the side of the street, burying her head between her legs, intending to calm down.
Suddenly confused by a sour smell, someone sat next to her and poked her arm with a stick, "Little sister, if you don't eat this bowl of rice, I can eat it if you don't eat it." ”
It was a little beggar about ten years old, who was about to eat a bowl of brown rice by the wall, and when Cai Ling took a closer look, the rice had obviously been left for a long time, and there was a pale green mold on the surface, and who would put a bowl of rice here for no reason, there was obviously a problem.
Cai Ling hurriedly tried to stop it, but the beggar was so hungry that he gulped down a whole bowl of rice into his stomach.
Cai Ling stared at him carefully for a moment, smiled at him with satisfaction, and sat with her for a while, and tapped the empty bowl with a stick, begging for alms from passers-by.
Luckily, it's okay!
Cai Ling stood up and was about to leave, "Sister don't sit for a while?" This place ......" the little beggar was still talking, foaming at the mouth, covering his stomach in pain, and the "...... for help" was inaudible.
Cai Ling hurriedly wanted to go to the hospital to find someone, but was blocked by onlookers, "You want to harm a little beggar, it's really un......ancient" Everyone gathered in a circle, gossiping, only commenting and not helping.
Cai Ling was extremely angry, and suddenly saw that the person standing on the side of the crowd was Yu Moyan, she hurriedly broke through the obstacles of the crowd, and almost wanted to kneel down and plead, "It's important for the divine doctor to save people." ”
He shook off the corner of his robe and pushed her half a foot away, and walked away without looking back.
Cai Ling's heart was as cold as a thin piece of snow falling from the sky, and she retreated to the little beggar, put the poor child on her back, and pushed away the crowd in the direction of the medical hall.
Just now she ran too far away with a cigarette and this hospital is not close to her body she is not strong and she is panting when she walks too far, where can she carry a ten-year-old child on her back and walk like a fly.
Passing by a small alley, she turned her heart sideways, put the little beggar flat on the open space in the alley, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I guess you are poisoned by rat medicine, so I will ask the doctor to save you." With that, his footsteps flew and ran in the direction of the medical hall.
The shopkeeper heard that it was to save a little beggar, and he didn't want to send a doctor to the doctor, Cai Ling took out a gold leaf, his eyes lit up, and he was about to reach out to pick it up, and Cai Ling was about to take it into his arms, "After saving people, whether it is dead or alive, it is indispensable." ”
The men hurried back, only to see that the little beggar had sat up, retching with his head on his head and vomiting at the filth he had vomited.
"This beggar is not stupid, he will pick his own throat. Now that they've all spit it out, it's fine. The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to ask for money, Cai Ling looked at him coldly, knew that there was no play, and dragged the doctor back to the hospital.
"Who saved you?" Cai Ling squatted down and asked, after all, she knew that the little beggar was in a state of dying at first, and she would never be able to pick her throat to induce vomiting, and the ink-colored medicinal juice that still existed at the corner of his mouth was clearly visible.
"I don't see it clearly." The little beggar was still confused, "tall and dressed in a moon-white robe." “
After listening to this, Cai Ling ran away with a cigarette, and did not forget to instruct: "From now on, you are not allowed to pick up things to eat." “
Tao Tao had just come out of the rouge shop, and he was in a good mood, so he grabbed Cai Ling who swept past him, "Sister, where have you been?" “
Cai Ling watched Yu Moyan ride out of the city gate, leaving only a cold moon-white figure farther and farther away, turned his head, and glared at Tao Tao fiercely, "What kind of rouge do big men buy!" “
"Sister, you don't understand. This is a box of rouge made in the shape of red beans. Tao Tao couldn't help himself.
"Red beans?"
"Exquisite dice and red beans. Luo with fragrant, still a red bean. Red beans are a thing of love, and they are extremely elegant. Tao Tao carefully took the box of rouge into his arms.
Cai Ling said coldly, "Be careful." “
Hearing this, Tao Tao hurriedly took it out, and the snow fell on his face, and then smiled: "The weather is so cold, how can it melt away?" “
"The brain is not broken." Cai Ling Zhengse said, "You go back first, I still have some things, and I'll discuss it with you later." ”
But there was no more, when Cai Ling returned to the inn, it was late at night, and it was cold and dew outside, and Tao Tao fell asleep very early. And Manyun didn't return overnight, Cai Ling was uneasy, but after thinking about it carefully, she also had the experience of playing until she didn't return home, and besides, her kung fu was so good, she should be fine, so she turned her head and fell asleep.
The sky had just been exposed, Cai Ling touched the clouds beside her, her heart was at peace, and she quietly got up and took a small burden
A bamboo basket went to tap the door of Tao Tao's house. Tao Tao waited for a long time as usual before it was fully equipped.
In front of the carriage, Tao Tao whistled to Cai Ling, who was wearing a water-green skirt and a rabbit fur cloak of the same color, "Sister, you are very delicate today, do you want to attract the divine doctor with your hue?" ”
"Superficial." Cai Ling reprimanded, throwing the small bag containing the clothes into the car, and holding the other heavier burden tightly in her arms.
"Isn't this exactly the Xuanhu Dayu that Concubine Liangxian gave you?" Tao Tao was preoccupied with the brocade forging baggage, and seemed to be missing the small basket covered by coarse cloth in her hand, "I want to wear such a gorgeous dress, and I said that I don't want to treat people." Eldest sister, you and I are both superficial people, so why should we always be vassally elegant, I am really tired. ”
"I'm too lazy to tell you." Cai Ling glanced at him, jumped into the car, and then couldn't help but say, "Today I took great pains to create an unforgettable first encounter between me and Mr. Yu, whether we can become friends with each other depends on this day, you must be careful, don't stab me Lou Zi, let this matter go wrong." ”
"You only put your heart in your stomach, and Ben Shao has always been good at doing things." Tao Tao patted his chest and reassured, then looked at her deeply, and hesitated, "Where are you meeting for the first time?" You and Yu Moyan have either met two days ago, or you fell into a dog, your face was covered with mud, and you had to obey someone else's basket of sweet potatoes that day. ”
"How can that count?" Cai Ling was very annoyed, "Ben Shaohao has also admired Mr. Yu for many years, and I have also looked forward to seeing each other, long snow, red plums, singing about wine, life geometry!" ”
snapped, it was her palm that slapped on the car window, "Who would have expected that a piece of snow, half a red plum, a basket hoe, fell like a mud dog!" Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "In this young place, such an encounter cannot be counted, it is a stroke of the stroke, and it is a new one." “
