Chapter 17: The Trick Revealed

"Erniang, is your body much more comfortable?" Han Leng put the wiped towel back on the edge of the copper basin, her soft and flowing sleeves seemed to touch the white mist of water and retracted, and a stream of heat drilled straight into the slit of her lace slicing.

Tang Wanqiu's hair bun at this time had completely lost its original form, scattered and messy, a pair of big eyes looked a little dry, without the previous look, and was looking at Han Leng weakly: "Well, it's much more comfortable, it's not too early this day, Han Leng should go back and rest early."

"Okay, Erniang, then Han Leng will go back to the room first, and Erniang should take care of herself."

With a squeak, a light flowed out like water, accompanied by Han Leng's shadow, which suddenly engulfed some of the light, and the night outside was becoming heavy little by little.

"Meteor, close the door." Tang Wanqiu said to the meteor on the side.

Meteor responded and walked quickly to the door: "Yes, second aunt." ”

A figure suddenly flashed out of the door, it was Master Gu, he stretched out his hand and stopped the meteor from closing the door: "Eh, meteor, don't close the door." Walking towards the house again, at this time, Master Gu had just come back from the big pharmacy, a little tired, and changed into a light gray robe, the vivid concave and convex texture made Master Gu look very stylish: "Wanqiu, there is a big customer in the big pharmacy, so I can only come to you later." Are you feeling better? Have you eaten? ”

"It's better, I ate a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup with the assistance of Miss Han, the master is so late, you don't need to come to see Wanqiu." Tang Wanqiu slowly sat up from the bed again.

Master Gu, who was standing, hurriedly ran forward to help Tang Wanqiu: "Don't get up, don't get up, I'm happy to see that you're okay, Han Leng, this kid is really filial, it's just that our classmates of the Nanjun family take care of you so thoughtfully." ”

"Why, can't you see it, master? Han Leng, this is like our family Nanjun, to be our family's young grandmother, I also like Han Leng's girl, so I gave her the ice seed floating flower jade bracelet you gave me. Tang Wanqiu smiled.

"It's good, it's good." Master Gu paused, "It's just that Nanjun doesn't like the eldest lady of the Lin family in the east of the city?" ”

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker."

After a few words of conversation, Master Gu walked out of the door, and only Tang Wanqiu and Meteor were left in the room.

After a while, Meteor picked up a lantern and blew out the lights in the house: "The slave has retreated." With a squeak, only Tang Wanqiu was left alone in the night around her.

……

Because Tang Wanqiu didn't eat or drink for nearly a month, Master Gu invited countless famous doctors for Tang Wanqiu but there was no improvement, Gu Nanjun couldn't rest assured that Tang Wanqiu was in his heart, so he could only stay in his own big pharmacy in the west of the city to do things. So suddenly there was a male doctor of Western medicine in the big pharmacy.

Gu Nanjun was afraid that he would need to stay at home for a long time, and Lin Elegy of Yu Donglin's family would be anxious and worried that he would bear each other's affection, so he wrote a lovesick letter in his study to show that he had not been burdened with affection and lovesickness:

Dear Elegy,

Are you okay these days when I'm not in Yudong?

My Erniang was paralyzed by an unknown disease and did not eat or drink, and I was really worried about my Erniang's body, so I stayed in Yuxi for many days. Now my father arranged for me to be a male doctor of Western medicine in his own big pharmacy, and my second mother has always treated me very well, so I can't leave my second mother, which is why I am reluctant to leave for you, and please take care of it.

In addition, every day I am here in Yuxi, I miss you, I miss your crying in the lotus pond, I miss your laughter in the gazebo, I miss your bright eyes and long eyelashes in the rain.

Love you

Gu Nanjun

Gu Nanjun folded the letter and put it in the envelope, and handed the envelope to the little man in the house in the early morning of the next day, and asked him to transfer it to the postman who was doing the work.

On the other end, Lin Elegy thought that Gu Nanjun had forgotten about himself, and he was depressed and depressed all day long.

The people in the west of Yucheng have never seen Western medicine, even if Master Gu from the big pharmacy in the west of the city told the people in the west of the city about the benefits of Western medicine, the people did not dare to go forward to see a doctor, but they were talking on the side.

"Did you hear that? It was a Western doctor. ”

"Western medicine doctor, what diseases can Western medicine cure?"

"It seems to be the eldest young master of the Gu family, I heard that he learned Western medicine knowledge from the university."

"What the hell, we don't dare to heal the disease."

"Yes, but don't go over to treat it, in case you die."

"Let's take a look at the Chinese medicine here."

……

In this way, Gu Nanjun watched people come and go like a sitting puppet in his big pharmacy.

Until one day, a small wooden cart pushed a middle-aged man who had been screaming in pain, the man in the car was in rags, rolling in pain, rolling on the ground, and there was a child next to the small wooden cart who kept shouting for help.

"Doctor, save my daddy, save my daddy, we don't have any money."

"I'll come, uncle, let me take a look." I saw Gu Nanjun running out with a stethoscope, "This is a symptom of intestinal stasis, which is also called acute appendicitis in Western medicine, this disease is very urgent, if it is not treated, it will hurt to death after a while." Quick, uncle, call a few strong men to carry him to my office, and then get the scalpel and anesthetic ready, and I'm going to operate on him. ”

Uncle Gui called three or four sturdy subordinates to carry him to the operating table, and at this time, the middle-aged man was already sweating in pain, and his black and white hair was soaked with sweat.

Between the white curtains, Gu Nanjun, who was wearing a mask, was disinfecting, and then gave an injection of anesthesia to the man lying on the operating table.

After a while, the middle-aged man was originally lying down, but then he was able to sit up, he slowly opened his eyes, and said, "Thank you, the doctor of Western medicine, thank you for curing my disease." ”

"It's really a god, Western medicine is really a god."

"Why don't we go and see what we do."

……

Gu Nanjun, who was originally like a sitting puppet, seemed to come to life, and from then on, Gu Nanjun opened for a consultation in January. During this month's time, Gu Nanjun would send a lovesick letter to Lin Elegy every three or four days. It's just that these lovesick letters will be privately collected by the postman who was bought by Han Leng, but in fact, they didn't go to Lin Elegy's hands at all.

What's even more insidious is that during the work of January, Han Leng fasted from herb poison juice in Tang Wanqiu's diet every day, and Tang Wanqiu's body was also declining day by day, and she could only linger on the sickbed day after day.

"Han Leng, it's really hard for you, you come to take care of my body every day."

"Erniang, don't be polite, this is what Han Leng should do, just treat Han Leng as serving Erniang for Nanjun."

……

One day, Han Leng saw that the fasting herb poison juice in the white bottle had bottomed out, so he casually found a flowing cloud that was branched aside from the head, took out the withered fasting grass leaves picked from under the bed, and quietly pounded the fasting herb poison juice next to the bed, but was caught by Gu Nanjun, who came to visit.

"Han Leng, what are you doing?" Gu Nanjun was dressed in a soft and elegant navy blue Tang suit, and the buckle under the stand-up collar was slightly opened, revealing the white and tender skin inside, and the whole person looked handsome and handsome.

At this time, Han Leng, who was squatting on the side of the bed, was like a frightened bird, and was suddenly frightened to stand up, and in the process of standing up, the white bottle at his feet was also kicked over, and it was gurgling with thick green and disgusting juice.

Gu Nanjun felt weird, walked forward, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Han Leng panicked, and couldn't make up any good reasons for it for a while, so he could only pestle there in a daze.

"Show me." Gu Nanjun snatched the withered fast-fasting grass leaf in Han Leng's hand, "This, this, isn't it the fast-fasting grass leaf written in your Chinese medicine book?" ”

"It's not, it's not, it's just the blades of an ordinary weed." The panic in Han Leng's heart made her say such a thing unconsciously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the leaf of the fast-feeding grass that is written in your TCM book. Okay, you Han Leng, no wonder my second mother has been paralyzed in the stomach and intestines this month, and she can't eat and drink, you are really vicious. Gu Nanjun said angrily.

"Nan-kun, Nan-kun." Han Leng cried, tears began to burst out of his eyes, and they fell on his cheeks.

"Say, why do you do such an evil thing?" Gu Nanjun lowered his voice, obviously wanting to save a little face for Han Leng.

Han Leng said while crying: "I just want to use Erniang's body to drag you and prevent you from going to see the eldest lady of the Donglin family in the city, and after a long time, the eldest lady of the Donglin family in the city can't see you for a long time, so she will have a grudge against you, and finally she will die for you." You listen to me, Erniang will be fine, you listen to me, Erniang will be fine, I don't poison the juice into it, Erniang's body will get better soon, and it will be as good as before, ah, Nanjun, don't tell others, don't tell Erniang, she really treats me like a mother, don't let her know that I'm hurting him, so she will be sad, ah, Nanjun, I beg you. ”

Gu Nanjun's heart immediately softened when he heard Han Leng's pleading, and said: "Han Leng, Han Leng, you shouldn't do this, you go home, I won't tell others, you go home, our Gu family can't tolerate you, you go, I, Gu Nanjun, will also set off to Yudong to find Lin Elegy." ”

"I'm sorry, Nanjun, I'm sorry Nanjun, thank you."
