Winemaking family in officialdom
"Mandala?" I've never heard of this flower.
"The name of mandala traditional Chinese medicine is goldenrod and mountain eggplant, and the whole plant is poisonous, and the seeds are the most toxic...... Ahem......"
"Okay, okay, grandma don't say anything, let's have a good rest." I put down what I was holding and took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of my grandmother's mouth.
My grandmother grabbed my hand and said, "Don't believe in the shake."
"Okay, grandma, take care of your body first, and I'll go get a doctor for you."
"Grandma's body is like this, and it's useless for the doctor to come." Grandma has been talking to me for so long, and her face looks a little pale.
I shook my grandmother's hand: "No matter what, I must ask a doctor to come."
Grandma smiled relievedly: "Let it go."
I set up my grandmother, and when I went out, I saw that the doctor was already standing outside the door, and the face of Huaxi next to me was cloudy, and his hands were stirring around uneasily.
I thought of what my grandmother said, and stepped forward to grab Hua Xi's hand: "Sister Hua Xi, grandma will be handed over to you to take care of, and the doctor is also here, accompany him in."
Hua Xi was held by me like this, and a trace of panic flashed from his face, and then returned to normal: "Okay, I'll take care of the old lady, eldest lady, don't worry."
I watched their backs until they went inside Grandma's house.
"Chun Tao, go outside and ask for a doctor we can trust, don't let anyone see it." I pushed the spring peach and walked quickly.
"Why, Miss?"
"There are a lot of people, go back and say, you can do what I say first." I looked around, for fear of being seen by someone who cared about it.
"Okay, I'll go."
I watched as Chun Tao disappeared around the corner, and stood in the doorway anxiously waiting for Hua Xi and them to come out.
It was getting dark, and the lights were already lit in the grandmother's room, and there were shadows on the window paper, and I couldn't understand what the doctor was doing.
There was a small sound behind me, like someone stepping on fallen leaves, and I was alert to hide behind a tree.
I held my breath and tried not to make too much noise, which was particularly harsh in the silence of the night. My back tensed, and I clung to the trunk of the tree.
"Mussy?"
It's Wanyang coming! He walked around and didn't find me, so he raised his leg and went into the granny house.
"Wait! Don't go in. "I stood up from behind the trunk.
Wan Yang held the saber in front of him, like a leopard that would attack at any time, and saw that it was me who put the saber back on his waist.
"Why didn't you come out when I told you just now?" His eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous gaze.
"I didn't hear it was you, so I didn't dare to go out rashly."
Wan Yang snorted coldly: "Really? How long has it been since you learned so shrewdly? ”
"Grandma is sick, and the doctor and Shake are inside." I walked up to him and deliberately diverted the subject.
Wan Yang really didn't say anything anymore, and then asked, "Is grandma overworked?" ”
I looked inside the window and shook my head: "I don't know, grandma has a bad cough."
"Who hired the doctor?"
"Sister Huaxi."
Wan Yang was anxious: "Why did you ask her to ask for a doctor?"
I pretended I didn't know anything: "What's wrong with Sister Huaxi?" Can't I get a doctor? ”
This Wan Yang really knew something, but he didn't tell me anything.
Wan Yang suppressed his emotions: "I'll ask a better doctor to treat grandma another day."
I bowed my head and said nothing, thinking in my heart that Chun Tao should also come back.
"I talk to you, do you hear?" Wan Yang spoke in an angry tone above my head.
"Huh?"
"I said, the funeral feast has begun, don't you go? Madame and Second Miss were there. ”
I frowned and asked, "Mother went?"
"What? Don't want your lady to attend? ”
"No, my mother hasn't shown up since my father's death, so why is she here today?"
"Go and have a look, as a concubine, you should also attend."
"But grandma ......"
Wan Yang stretched out his hand to touch my head, I lowered my head and dodged, Wan Yang's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air.
"I'm coming to see grandma, you can go." After a while, Wan Yang put down his hand and said this.
"Thank you, I will thank you in the future."
After speaking, I turned around and walked towards the road where Wan Yang came, my hair swaying along the way, and I didn't notice the hairpin in Wan Yang's hand at all.
Wan Yang held a hairpin tightly in his hand, and the tip of the hairpin poked into his palm, and wisps of blood flowed down.
I didn't go to the funeral in the hall, and from that way I went around the other, I was going to find Chun Tao.
The people in the house were all helping at the table, and there were very few people in the courtyard, so I went out of the house almost without any obstacles, and went straight to the pharmacy where I took Uncle He.
"Miss Muta."
I walked in a hurry, trying to avoid every crowded place along the way, and when I heard this voice, I took out the dagger I had carried with me from my sleeve, and did not look back, in case the man had come to seek revenge.
"Hey......" A hand put on my right shoulder, and when I felt it, I immediately turned back, and the dagger stabbed straight at the person behind me.
The man was extremely agile, and before my dagger could be fully relied, he had retreated to safety.
"What are you doing? Is this what I look like every time I see it? Fight and kill. ”
Only then did I see that the person behind me was Yan Lanxi.
I put the dagger back in my sleeve, I didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so I turned around and left, and Yan Lanxi followed from behind.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
I continued to walk with my head down, glancing at him, but still not speaking.
"No, you have a word! Maybe I can help you. ”
My eyelids jumped, yes, anyway, now my family can't believe it, an outsider, just try it.
I stopped abruptly and looked up at him.
"Huh? Why don't you leave again? ”
"Didn't you say you could help me?"
I looked at the young man I had known for a short time in front of me, with thick eyebrows, deep eyes, everything was unfamiliar to me, and at this time of difficulty, he appeared.
"yes, then you have to tell me what is going on first, right?" The ruffian boy said to me.
I hesitated for a moment: "If I don't come out again for a long time after I go back today, can you find a way to go to Mufuli?"
"Yes. But how long has it been? ”
I did the math in my mind: "Half a year."
"Are you sure?" Yan Lanxi smiled.
I took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Half a year."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
They gave my grandmother a chronic poison, which means that my mother has more to do than that, and I have to be prepared not to be a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered.
"Okay, I still have something to do, remember what you said."
I can't delay any longer, I have to be faster than them.
"Miss!"
My eyes lit up: "Chun Tao, hurry, let's go back quickly!"
Chun Tao, who was not far away, ran over behind the doctor with the medicine box on his back, I looked at Yan Lanxi and nodded, and hurried back with them.
"Miss, can you tell me what is going on now?"
"Someone poisoned my grandmother."
Chun Taoran's forehead was covered with light sweat, and when he heard me say this, the doctor was shocked and dropped the medicine box on the ground.
"Miss, how come?"
I helped lift the medicine box, shook my head slightly, and didn't say any more, everything will be said when I get back.
The three of them hurriedly shuttled through the streets, avoiding the different eyes of a few passers-by.
There was a slight bell ringing in my arms, and I hugged my arms and pressed the bell inside so that no one could hear it.
I hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the gate of the house, I made a good round, and made sure that no one else saw it, so I took the doctor and entered through the side door.
"You can do whatever I tell you to do in a while, and don't say anything." When I entered the door, I told the doctor.
It seems that some elderly doctors are obviously a little flustered, I am afraid that I will scare him today, but I am in a hurry, and I dare to do anything for the sake of my grandmother.
"Okay, I'll listen to you for everything."
I nodded with my eyes down, and then hurried back with them the way they had come.
I specially chose a road that didn't pass through the hall this time, so that I wouldn't meet anyone, and Chun Tao helped us excuse us at any time at the end.
Fortunately, the three of them walked all the way back, and when they were about to get to the grandmother's door, I saw Hua Xi and the doctor she invited talking to Wan Yang.
I reached out and pulled the doctor behind me, and hid with them to the side, thinking about waiting for Huaxi and the others to leave.
We didn't go far away, and we heard some of their conversations in bits and pieces.
Huaxi said that grandma had internal problems in her body and needed to drink medicine to recuperate, and said that she had asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine, and she would take it back tomorrow to decoction.
Under the cover of the night, I could see the doctor's obscene appearance, and he was also conditioning, just to make it easier for them to continue to poison grandma.
I hammered hard with my left hand holding the trunk, hating myself for not finding out earlier.
"Okay, doctor, I'll trouble you."
Wan Yang sent them out, and Chun Tao pulled me and the doctor back away, completely letting us hide.
The voices were getting farther and farther away, and I went out to look at them carefully for a while, and found nothing unusual, and then beckoned them out.
"Hurry up, don't wait for Flowery to come back and see you."
The three of them hurriedly opened the door and got in, and I asked Chun Tao to let the door go and walked in with the doctor.
Looking at my grandmother who had fallen asleep on the bed, my nose couldn't help but sour, and tears almost burst out of my eyes, I looked up at the roof and held back the tears.
"Doctor, excuse me, let's go see my grandmother."
The doctor with a two-handful beard put down the heavy medicine box on his body, took out his grandmother's hand in the quilt, closed his eyes and carefully checked the pulse, I was silent next to me, only praying in my heart.
The doctor's fingers twitched flexibly, the eyeballs under his nose purred, and finally his brow furrowed, and his fingers tapped lightly on Grandma's arm rhythmically.
"Doctor, how's it going?" I leaned forward and asked, hunched over.
The doctor didn't answer for a long time, but the hand that took the pulse was still on the grandmother's wrist, and the other hand stroked his beard back and forth.
