Chapter 57
At a glance, there was no one else in this medical hall except for the white-faced scholar. The clinic is not big, but it looks very comfortable.
The white-faced scholar was sitting on a chair in the middle of the lobby copying the medicinal herbs and the symptoms of the book, and his mouth was still gently reading.
Zhuang Shanfang and Xu Yuanyuan helped Liu Yi get out of the carriage and entered the hospital.
At this time, Liu Yi was already unconscious, and he only felt that the qi that had gone in had not come out much, his lips had become pale, and his body was very heavy, as if he was already a corpse.
Zhuang Shanfang called loudly: "Lang Zhong, come and show our son-in-law." ”
The white-faced scholar, who had been studying, looked up, and seeing that the patient's condition was so serious, he immediately ran over, like a gust of wind.
Zhuang Shanfang and Xu Yuanyuan helped Liu Yi to a wooden bed and let him lie down.
The white-faced scholar immediately stepped forward and asked, "What kind of emergency does this son have?" ”
Zhuang Shanfang on the side stepped forward and replied: "Our son was wounded by an arrow before, and now the wound is suppurating, and the dark yellow pus is about to flow out, I'm afraid the fever is because of this." ”
The white-faced scholar asked eagerly, "When did your son-in-law start to burn?" ”
Xu on the side came out and said, "It was last night, and it started to burn in the first half of the night last night, and he was still awake at that time." ”
The white-faced scholar replied with an "um", sat down next to the empty wooden bed beside Liu Yi, and began to diagnose his pulse. At first, the white-faced scholar's face was still relaxed, but then his face became a little solemn, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he asked, "What kind of poison did your son have?" This vein is so strange. ”
Hearing that they had been poisoned, they immediately remembered the nine-ring poison, and the two of them responded at the same time: "It's the nine-ring poison!" ”
When the white-faced scholar heard about this poison, he just looked at the two of them with a puzzled face and said, "What kind of poison is this?" Why haven't I heard of this poison? ”
Xu Yuan slowly explained: "I also heard an old man say, saying that this poison has nine layers, all of which are strange poisons, and unlocking one layer will inevitably implicate the next layer, which is interlocking and difficult to solve, there are as many as nine layers, so it is a nine-ring poison." ”
The white-faced scholar listened, continued to check the pulse, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his face was solemn, and then he said: "This poison, I'm afraid I can't solve it, I only have the medicine to slow down the levy here, and give Gongzi a try first." ”
After speaking, the white-faced scholar went to rummage in the medicine cabinet and took out a small brown porcelain jar, which was sealed with a red cloth.
The white-faced scholar took the small porcelain altar to Liu Yi's side and ordered the two people beside him: "Help him up." ”
Xu Yuan on the side picked up Liu Yi, the white-faced scholar opened the small porcelain altar, there was a small spoon in it, and saw the white-faced scholar scoop out a spoonful of white powder from it, pinching Liu Yi's sides, Liu Yi's mouth had a slight opening, and he directly stuffed the spoonful of white powder into his mouth.
Then he hurriedly took out the water from the counter, and fed it through the opening that had just opened a little, and not all of the water was fed, but some of it flowed out, and his clothes had some dark patterns, as if the dark color of the tide spread over the collar.
The white-faced scholar put the things back in the medicine cabinet and said, "This medicine has a strong temperament, but it should be harmless to poison, and the effect of the medicine is fast, I believe that Gongzi will wake up soon." ”
The white-faced scholar's words were really true, but after a while, Liu Yi really woke up. When Liu Yi first woke up, his eyelashes were like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Liu Yi trembled and wanted to get up from the wooden bed, but because he had just had a fever, his physical strength was a little exhausted, and it was difficult to get up.
Xu Yuan, who was on the side, stood beside him, directly helped Liu Yi up, and said gently: "Are you better now?" If you don't go to the city for treatment, I'm afraid you won't even be able to go to Zhangzhou, and the scholar said that your pulse is very strange, and it must be caused by the poison. ”
When the scholar saw that Liu Yi was awake, he came over and said, "Son, remember that the wound must not be exposed, lest some evil spirits enter, and even the rain cannot wet it." And this medicine has to be taken every day until the poison is resolved, remember, don't stop the medicine, otherwise I don't dare to guarantee whether the child's life can be detoxified. ”
Presumably, the scholar had just heard the conversation between Xu Yuanyuan and Liu Yi, and knew that Liu Yi and the others were going to Zhangzhou, so he deliberately said this.
The scholar took out the small porcelain jar from the medicine cabinet and said, "This medicine must be taken every day, and it must not be broken." ”
Zhuang Shanfang on the side walked over and asked, "How many taels of silver does this jar of medicinal powder cost?" ”
When the scholar heard Zhuang Shanfang's inquiry, he just put out two fingers and said with a smile: "How can you use two, as long as twenty copper coins are enough, I see that you are in a hurry, and you don't dare to charge a high price, so I will sell it to you at a guaranteed price." ”
The white-faced scholar was particularly aggravated
That Zhuang Shanfang also smiled: "I see that you are also a gentleman, but you don't want to be so bold and chivalrous, thank you very much." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhuang Shanfang took out twenty copper coins from the money bag and handed them to the white-faced scholar.
Xu Yuanyuan took the small porcelain altar and thanked: "Then thank you." ”
Liu Yi was physically exhausted, so he could only move his mouth slightly to express his gratitude.
After the three of them thanked him, Xu Yuanyuan and Zhuang Shanyi helped Liu Yi out of the door, the carriage was still parked outside, Zhuang Shanfang took the first step to get into the carriage and helped Liu Yi up.
Liu Yi leaned on the carriage and coughed lightly, his complexion was much better than when he just got off the carriage, not as red as the original sunrise.
The wind and sun were beautiful all the way, there was no wind and no rain, because of the white-faced scholar's medicine, Liu Yi has not had a fever, and his body has gradually recovered.
Seven or eight days later, Liu Yi and his party finally arrived in Zhangzhou.
Because Zhangzhou is located in the south of Yan Kingdom, close to the sea, the ground is humid and hot, the shrubs are thick, the vines climb up around the trunk, the leaves of the trees are large and there are more, and there are more poisonous snakes and reptiles.
When I arrived in the county seat, there were not many people, but the fruits and vegetables sold were completely different from those in Yanjing, and there were many vendors selling lychees on the street.
After all, lychee is a beautiful woman in the south, with the reputation of "riding a red dust concubine smile, no one knows that it is lychee", lychees are abundant here, and naturally there are many people selling them.
Zhuang Shanfang got off the horse, and next to him was an old man selling lychees, so he asked, "Uncle, excuse me, how to get to Luxian Island?" ”
The old man who was originally picking lychees and leaves raised his head, looked at Zhuang Shanfang, and pointed to the west and said, "You go out from the West City Gate and go all the way to the north." ”
Zhuang Shanfang thanked the old man, and looked at the red lychees on the old man's stall, which was as gratifying as the red lanterns hanging at the gates of various houses during the Spring Festival. So, Zhuang Shan conveniently stopped and picked out some lychees, bought them and returned to the carriage.
Zhuang Shanfang sat on the front of the carriage, leaned into the carriage half of his body, handed the lychee to Liu Yi, and said, "Son, I heard that the lychee in the south is very delicious. The subordinates looked at this lychee red, it must be sweet, you and Miss Xu eat it together. ”
Liu Yi took the lychee and didn't eat it, but just handed it to Xu Yuanxuan and said, "You eat it, this lychee is delicious." ”
Liu Yi speaks very simply, not dragging mud and water.
Xu Yuanyuan did not directly take the lychee handed by Liu Yi, but stared at Liu Yi and asked, "I also heard that the lychee is very delicious, but it is extremely difficult to transport to Yanjing, don't you eat it?" ”
Liu Yi heard Xu Yuanyuan's question, so he didn't say a word, stuffed the lychee into Xu Yuanyuan's hand, and continued: "But if this lychee is on fire, I won't eat it." If you turn around and get angry, you will have to inflame the wound again, and if you turn around and have a fever, then it will be troublesome, so you should eat it. ”
Xu took the lychee and peeled one, the flesh was extremely tender, the fingernails could be touched lightly, and the sweet dew had a hint of sweet fragrance, as if it was in love.
Xu curled it into his mouth, as if a ball of sweet honey had melted in his mouth, and suddenly overflowed his entire mouth, even the corners of the place.
Xu Yuanyuan didn't eat a lot, only ate a few, and put the lychee aside, not because she didn't like to eat it, but because she felt that this lychee was rare, and an emperor like Liu Yi was naturally nothing, but Xu Yuanyuan was just a play, a play running around.
After asking the old man's words, Zhuang Shan conveniently drove the carriage to the west city gate.
Although it is in the south and the weather is hot, the outside of the city is full of green trees and some moisture, so you don't feel too hot at all.
Luxian Island is located on Qiqi Lake in the northwest of Zhangzhou, where the water and grass are abundant, with flocks of ducks playing in the water and green willows on both sides. In the center of the lake, there is a huge camphor tree, like a giant umbrella holding up the sky, located on a small island in the center of the lake, and the island is like a flat boat, floating on the precarious lake.
Zhuang Shanfang lifted the curtain of the carriage, half-turned around, and said, "Childe, Qiqi Lake has arrived, and after passing Qiqi Lake, it is Luxian Island." ”
Hearing Zhuang Shanfang say that the lake is coming, Xu Yuanxuan seemed to see the White Deer Fairy, she was fantasizing about the appearance of the White Deer Fairy all the way, she felt that listening to the name, the White Deer Fairy was a woman with a fairy spirit, but she gently entered the water, she guessed that the White Deer Fairy must be wearing a white robe, walking in the woods all year round. In addition, the water vapor in the south is sufficient, and when it transpires upward, it is like entering a fairyland.
Xu Yuan lifted the curtains on both sides of the carriage and looked out, looking at the calm lake, there were a few migratory birds flying by, and Liu Si was like a Chinese girl's hand - there was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere here, she imagined that the white deer fairy who lived here must also be a quiet and peaceful old man, otherwise she would not choose this place as her home.
Liu Yi glanced outside the car and asked unhurriedly, "Zhuang Shanfang, have you seen the boat used to cross the lake nearby?" ”
Zhuang Shanfang looked around, there were no boats.
The reeds in the distance bear the usual reed cobs, as strong as the corn of a peasant woman drying under the eaves. A breeze blew, and the reeds swayed and danced like dancing girls, and they could be vaguely seen smiling.
