Chapter 32: The Pseudo-Niang Escapes

When Old Man Gao saw Xiaolian and Song Zheng coming in, he gave Song Zheng a look and sent Xiaolian to the courtyard to collect the medicinal herbs first. Song Zheng asked quietly, "Is Doctor Gao ready?" Old man Gao nodded.

After Xiaolian finished packing up the medicinal materials, Song Zheng helped take it into the Westinghouse Pharmacy, and looked at a few medical books in the Westhouse by the way. Old man Gao summoned Xiaolian to the main house and said, "Miss Xiaolian has worked hard. Xiaolian hurriedly saluted and said: "This is what the slave should do, the master has already commanded it, but it is sent by the tall doctor." ”

Old man Gao nodded and said, "Miss Xiaolian, I see that your face is not good, and your eyes are red, can you let the old man take your pulse?" Although Xiaolian had something in her heart, she didn't want the old man Gao to see through it, so when she heard this, she sat down and stretched out her right hand.

Old man Gao put his finger on Xiaolian's pulse, and his face gradually became solemn. After half a cup of tea, the old man Gao exclaimed: "Little Lian girl, you are young, why is your pulse so weak, your worries are accumulated in your heart, and your qi is consumed inside. And your pulse is soft and thin, like silk in water, very much like a rootless vein, it can be seen that you not only lose heart and blood, but also may have a lump in the abdomen, if you continue like this, you may not be cured! ”

Song Zheng almost laughed when he heard Old Man Gao talking nonsense in the house. Unfortunately, this is not the time to laugh. But the old man Gao can connect the symptoms of worry with the pulse of "swelling" (i.e., tumor), and he can indeed read it.

Xiaolian was already unrelenting, but when she heard Old Man Gao say this, she couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Doctor Gao, can I cure this disease?" ”

Old man Gao groaned, then shook his head, then nodded again, and said one word: "Difficult!" ”

Xiaolian has been exhausted in the past few days, and when she heard about the incurable disease, she was immediately frightened, and quickly knelt down and begged: "Doctor Gao, I hope to save the little girl." Old man Gao pretended to think for a while, and said, "To cure this disease, it is necessary to use fierce medicine, but it is just ......"

Xiaolian hurriedly said: "As long as it can cure the disease, please ask Dr. Gao to use medicine boldly, and the little woman is not afraid of anything." ”

Doctor Gao said, "Miss Xiaolian, you get up first." After taking this potion, you may fall asleep for a few hours; Your voice will become hoarse, your hearing may be affected, and you may vomit, but you will recover within three days. In addition, your menstrual period may be disordered, and it will not be normal until after 3 months. Other than that, day-to-day actions don't make a difference. I have also seen this illness of yours, two years ago I treated a woman from a family in Shishan Town, and there has been no recurrence in the past two years, and there has been nothing abnormal. ”

When Song Zheng heard this, he knew that Old Man Gao wanted to make Xiaolian deaf and dumb, and even if the other party caught her, he couldn't ask anything, this Old Man Gao was ruthless enough, and he would be ruthless once he made a move. As for the so-called "menstrual disorder", it was because he told Old Man Gao that Xiaolian was not perfect. It is estimated that Old Man Gao was afraid of using some disgraceful method to check the opponent, and wanted to pour some pig blood and other things into Xiaolian's lower body when Xiaolian was unconscious, so that the opponent could not find out.

Xiaolian thought that there would be very serious sequelae, but when she heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. I was even more relieved to hear that Dr. Gao had cured a case. So, she got up from the ground, her face flushed, and said, "Little woman, but according to the orders of the tall doctor." ”

Old man Gao said: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll dispense the medicine first." Luckily, I have all the herbs you need, so you can wait here for a while. With that, Old Man Gao entered the Westinghouse. Song Zheng saw that the old man Gao had laid out a square piece of paper on the small table, took out all the Banxia in the medicine cabinet, and added some astragalus, rehmannia and a few longans. Then, the old man took out a small paper bag from an unnamed drawer next to him, and poured the brown powder inside onto the paper. Then he took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a small brown pill, and twisted it.

Song Zheng read medical books during this period of time and knew that overdose of Banxia could cause numbness of the mouth and tongue and cause vomiting, as for astragalus and the like, it was just used to replenish qi and nourish blood, and the brown powder poured in at the end should be the "dumb medicine" that Qi Er used to take in small amounts. As for the little purple pill, I don't know what it was for.

Although Song Zheng and Old Man Gao had already discussed the use of medicine, they were still a little frightened when they saw the poison that harmed people. Seeing Song Zheng looking at him intently, Old Man Gao threw the small porcelain bottle in his hand to Song Zheng and said, "One grain, faint for half a day, deaf for three days." Then he packed his medicine bag and turned around and went out.

Song Zheng took the small porcelain bottle into his arms, took out seven or eight small medicine bags from the drawer, and put them away together. It's safer to keep these harmful things here, and maybe you can use them in the future.

For Old Man Gao's medicine, Xiaolian had no doubts. Half an hour later, Xiaolian boiled the medicine, let it cool and drank it, and after a while, she fell asleep on the chair in the main hall. Qi Er and Song Zheng came out of the east and west rooms respectively and saw Xiaolian who was lying on the table with her head on the table.

Song Zheng knew that things were inevitable, so he said calmly: "I thought about it just now, since the other party is familiar with Miss Qi'er, this plan may not be perfect. There are two points, one is that Miss Qi'er has any personal objects? Second, are there any very obvious features on Qi'er's body, such as moles, birthmarks, etc.? These two points need to be taken into account. ”

Old man Gao nodded and said, "The little boy is thoughtful. When it comes to personal objects, Qi'er has a family heirloom jade ring. As for the features...... "After speaking, Old Man Gao glanced at Qi'er.

Qi'er's face turned red, but she also knew that this was a life-and-death time, and she was not hypocritical, and her voice was like a mosquito, "I have a red mole on my chest, the size of a soybean grain." As he spoke, he pointed in the middle of his breast.

Song Zheng said: "Okay, please ask Doctor Gao to do it and use a needle to tattoo Xiaolian's chest." After Xiaolian woke up, she said that she was assisted by acupuncture, and she should not be suspected. ”

Old man Gao, Song Zheng and Qi Er carried Xiaolian to the small bed in the pharmacy. After putting it away, Old Man Gao took off Xiaolian's clothes and began to apply needles. Song Zheng was embarrassed to watch in the house, so he returned to the main hall, and Qi'er also turned around. The two sat down on the chairs, and Qi Er took off a jade ring from his neck, groping it over and over again, tears flowed from his eyes, and he choked up one by one.

Song Zheng glanced at the jade ring and almost screamed. He took a breath and whispered, "Miss Qi'er, can you borrow the jade ring for the next view?" Qi Er lowered her head and handed over the jade ring. Song Zheng took a look, and sure enough, it was the best Tianhuang seed jade in Laokeng, crystal clear, with claw patterns depicted on it, extremely exquisite, and it was not ordinary at first glance. The jade ring is warm and cool in the hand, the surface is slippery, and the feel is excellent. For a treasure connoisseur like Song Zheng, this is a priceless thing and has a great attraction. Song Zheng couldn't help but sigh, in order to survive, no matter how good the treasure was, he had to give it up.

A quarter of an hour later, Old Man Gao came out of the Westinghouse and said, "Everything is ready. In the early hours of tomorrow morning, Xiaolian and I will carry the medicine basket on our backs and pretend to escape from the mountain road in the West Mountain, if it is not bad, the opponent will definitely intercept it there. In case I get away with it, I will return to Songjiazhuang in two days, and then plan again. Qi'er, Yuhuan stays here first, you go to the back room to clean up, and go with the little boy. ”

Qi Er threw herself into the arms of the old man Gao and cried loudly, and the old man Gao also shed tears. Song Zheng couldn't bear to see this, turned his back, and his eyes were a little moist.

After a while, Old Man Gao and Qi Er stopped crying, and under the urging of Old Man Gao, Qi Er entered the back room. Song Zheng turned around and said: "It's not appropriate to let Qi'er stay with the third uncle, the safest way is to let Qi'er bring enough rations and hide in that cave in Xishan." Two days later, when there is news from your side, I will send it to the third uncle. Then, he said the cave next to the big stone where he practiced his exercises. Old man Gao thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed.

After the tea, Qi'er came out with a small bag on her back. Old man Gao packed another bag of dry food, put it in a small package, and said what Song Zheng meant, Qi Er nodded slightly.

Old man Gao glanced at Song Zheng, and Song Zheng realized that the two might have something to say, so he turned around and went out of the house first and waited outside the courtyard. There was a whisper from the old man Gao in the room, which was not very real, and there were vague words such as "Jiang Ning, old slave, dagger, secret", followed by Qi'er's cry.

A quarter of an hour later, Qi'er came out of the house with red eyes and looked back reluctantly. The old man in the room sat on a chair and waved his hand to Qi'er, "Let's go!" He arched his hand at Song Zheng again, Song Zheng returned the salute, said "rest assured", and led Qi'er to bypass the village from the north side of Songjiazhuang, and went straight to Xishan from the path. At this time, it was already dusk, and Song Zheng and the others quietly climbed up the West Mountain and came to the stone cave next to the big rock. Song Zheng asked Qi'er to wait first, and he first went into the stone cave, cleaned up the gravel inside, and then pulled out some hay and spread it in the hole.

Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, although Qi Er was expressionless, her body was tightly attached to Song Zheng's side. Song Zheng comforted: "Miss Qi'er, you don't have to be afraid, I often come here." There was nothing in it, and no trace of a beast had ever been seen. You only need to stay in it for two days, and you can come out after the wind has passed. I'll be with you every day. I'll seal the hole in a moment, and you can sleep in it. ”

Qi Er trembled, Song Zheng knew that it was too embarrassing to let a girl stay on this quiet mountain at night. I have to give her some courage. Song Zheng turned Qi'er's body over, stared at her with both eyes, and said, "Qi'er, look at me." You have to trust me, it will soon be over. In the future, when we become stronger, we will avenge Dr. Gao. ”

Qi Er looked at Song Xiaogongzi, who was nearly half a head shorter than herself, and saw that the other party's eyes were shining in the night, and his eyes were so clear, as if he had brought infinite courage. Qi Er bowed slightly, turned his head and went into the stone cave.

There are a lot of stones on the boulder, which Zheng Feng threw down from the top of the cliff that day. Song Zheng picked up what he could move and moved it to the entrance of the cave. Soon, the one-meter-high hole was sealed. Song Zheng said a few words outside the cave, then turned around and went down the mountain. Back at home, Song Zheng changed out of his soiled clothes and came to Song Xiang's house. Since they had already greeted the family, the family did not suspect it. That night, Song Zheng thought about the old man who was willing to die, and Qi'er on the mountain, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. (Ask for collections, ask for comments, ask for flowers)
