Chapter 53: Visiting the Sick
"If Mi Zheng's news is true, we can join Lu Bu's army openly." After taking a sip of tea, I heard Huaxing take the lead in saying:
"No matter what Lu Bu's purpose is, since he is recruiting, there must be a shortage of people, and we can just take the opportunity to enter."
"That's right! That's what I thought, too. Tomorrow, I'll find someone to dredge up the relationship, and try to buy us a high-end position to come back. Hehe, if you start from the infantry, if you want to get close to Lu Bu, I'm afraid it's the Year of the Monkey. ”
Huaxing is very much in favor of Lu Pu's proposal, but not all:
"Well, if you can buy a 'general' back...... Hehe, that's one step. But it's not for 'us', it's for me! ”
"Alone?" Lu Pu was puzzled: "Team Hua, what do you mean?" ”
"It means that you can't come forward on this mission."
"Why?"
"Because you are a wanted criminal in Luoyang City!" Hua Xing glared and explained:
"I'm forgiven, but you don't. In case you are caught by Hongnong's guards as soon as you enter the city, I will save you then? Or is it a mission? ”
"But I, I ......"
"Don't be!" Without waiting for Lu Pu to open his mouth, he was directly cut off by Huaxing:
"Unless you can get the 'Certificate of Innocence' from Luoyang Mansion, it is impossible for me to let you participate in this operation at risk. For your safety, and for the mission to have no accidents, you don't have to fight anymore, this is an order! ”
First, Huaxing is the "captain" of the group, and Lu Pu has no right to refute the captain's decision;
Second, Lu Pu himself knows that his wanted notice has indeed not been canceled. If he had forced his way there, he would have run the risk of being arrested.
When the time comes, let alone the implementation of the task, it is good not to drag down Huaxing.
Therefore, after figuring this out, Lu Pu could only sigh and give up arguing:
"Alas! All right. I'll rush to Xingyang today, and try to get a general back for the captain, and you just wait for my news. ”
Since Lu Bu wants to rebel, he must be short of people and money.
In addition, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, buying and selling official positions was also extremely common. So "buying a general" sounds outrageous, but as long as there is enough silver, it is actually not difficult to achieve.
"Captain, then you go alone, but be careful! Even if you are not a wanted criminal now, Lu Bu and they will definitely not welcome you after they know your identity. Don't be like last time, almost can't come back. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, I'll be careful. The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and I don't really want to mess with Lu Bu for the rest of my life, it doesn't matter if they like it or not, as long as they have the opportunity to approach him. ”
Seeing that Lu Pu still had a little disappointment on his face when he spoke, Hua Xing comforted him again:
"You don't have to be upset. If you don't join the Lu Army, it doesn't mean that you have nothing to do! One of us is in the light, the other is in the dark, echoing inside and out. I'm going to be in danger, and you'll have to find a way to save me!" ”
At this point, Huaxing suddenly remembered something again:
"By the way, how much silver do you have on you?"
"Silver? There's still seventy or eighty taels left, what's wrong? ”
"All left for me, lately...... Lack of money. Huaxing shook his head and sighed.
Hearing the word "lack of money", Lu Pu was confused, and he didn't understand why Huaxing was short of money in this small village.
Seeing this, Hua Xing had to truthfully inform the other party that he was looking for Hua Tuo to treat Dong Bai's illness.
"Good fellow, is the captain lucky? Did you run into Hua Tuo so soon? Speaking of this, I saw Lu Pu suddenly raise his eyebrows, and said with an evil smile:
"Team Hua, you are so interested in Dong Bai, it can't be that girl, right?"
"Go, go, go! No kidding. I just feel ashamed of her and want to make amends! After replying angrily, I saw Huaxing stretch out his hand and said:
"Alright, alright! The silver stays, and you're good to go! ”
Seeing that Huaxing still refused to admit it, Lu Pu smiled and handed a large bag of silver to Huaxing:
"Guilty? Then why didn't I see you take Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with you after you stoned Liu Bei to death? Hehe, sure enough, the treatment of beauties is different, huh? ”
"You kid, is there an end? Besides, believe it or not, I beat you up? ”
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it! Alas, it's still the captain, dare to be a ......" After muttering in a low voice, Lu Pu suddenly asked again:
"Huh? Then when we go to Hongnong, what are you going to do with it, Miss Dong? ”
Regarding this issue, Huaxing really hasn't thought about it.
As soon as these words came out, I saw him frown on the spot.
……
Coming out of the hotel, Lu Pu did not delay any longer, and returned to Xingyang on the same day and began to buy officials.
After sending Lu Pu away, Huaxing returned to the small courtyard alone.
Seeing that today's treatment was not yet completed, he cautiously pushed open Dong Bai's door.
The treatment has been going on for several days, but due to Lu Pu's visit, Huaxing has not yet entered the house, and today he plans to go in and open his eyes.
In the center of the house, a "door curtain" was hung, dividing the bedroom into two rooms, inside and outside.
At this moment, Dong Bai was lying on the bed, located in the inner room, and because it was blocked by the curtain, Huaxing could not see it.
Hua Tuo sat alone in the outer room, holding a bowl of black potion in his hand, which seemed to have just been baked.
"Doctor Hua, are you busy?"
After Hua Xing entered the house, he walked quickly to Hua Tuo's side, and said while sniffling:
"What does it smell like? It was fragrant and bitter, and it smelled bad. ”
Hearing this, Hua Tuo didn't even bother to raise his head, and continued to tinker with the potion in his hand:
"Incense, it is the incense that the old man ordered, which helps the brain to heal. Bitterness is a good medicine in my hands, and drinking it can help Xiao Dong heal his illness. Why are you here, are you okay today? ”
"Oh, just sent my friend away, it's fine." Nodding, Hua Xing asked curiously:
"What do you use for this medicine? I remember the book said that astragalus, gastrodia or something is good for the brain, do you have ......?"
didn't wait for Hua Xing to finish speaking, but Hua Tuo suddenly turned around and glared at him:
"You're a doctor, I'm a doctor? If you let me heal, then don't nag on the sidelines. How does the old man use medicine, and does he need your little baby's guidance? ”
Seeing that Hua Tuo's temper was not small, Hua Xing quickly closed his mouth, smiled, and never mentioned the matter of medication again.
Although he is from two thousand years later, he is definitely far less familiar with Chinese medicine than Hua Tuo, so in this matter, Hua Xing immediately admitted.
Seeing that Hua Xing was finally honest, Hua Tuo handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Hua Xing:
"Okay, since you're here, I'll leave the matter of feeding the medicine to you today."
"Feed the medicine? Why do you still need to feed? Can't she drink it herself? Taking the medicine bowl, Huaxing was confused.
"Of course not! If you want to go, you will go, why is there so much nonsense? ”
Hua Tuo usually looks quite gentle, but when it comes to curing diseases, it is like a different person, not only has a big temper, but also has a quick temperament. As soon as the words fell, Huaxing was pushed directly into the room.
As soon as Hua Xing stood still, he heard Hua Tuo say twice outside the curtain:
"Usually when the old man goes, Xiao Dong has to put a list on himself first. Since you are husband and wife, there is no need, you just feed the medicine directly. ”
