Chapter 5: The Unspeakable Secret
The strength of the dry veteran is not great, but it has become an insurmountable obstacle for Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji saw that Old Doctor Liu stopped him, and he cried even more in a hurry.
"Woo...... Dr. Liu, you ......"
"Don't talk!"
As soon as Zhao Ji opened her mouth to speak, she was interrupted by Old Doctor Liu in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them. Although the voice was extremely small, it made Zhao Ji, who was originally crying, close her mouth instantly. Although Zhao Ji was extremely emotional at this time, she was still smart and heard some clues from Old Doctor Liu's tone. Zhao Ji glanced at Old Doctor Liu slightly, and saw that the old man was constantly glancing at him. Knowing that he had just acted a little recklessly, Zhao Ji retracted the hand that was blocked by Old Doctor Liu, and hastily wiped the tears on his face and stopped talking.
Seeing that Zhao Ji understood what he meant, Old Doctor Liu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Putting the stained quilt back on Zhao Zhengxiao'er, Old Doctor Liu didn't pay attention to Zhao Ji on the side, but turned around and walked towards the crowd outside the house.
"Huh...... Let the villagers have a false alarm, the old man is here to accompany everyone......"
Walking to the door frame, Old Doctor Liu, who had stopped, smiled and said to everyone.
"Old benefactor, what's going on with this Zhao Zheng child?"
In the crowd, a one-armed young man asked.
"Huh...... At home, the old man learned from the recalcitrant that everyone mistook Zhao Zheng'er's awakening for a corpse, hehe...... In fact, the thing in his mouth was just a decoction that the old man forcibly poured into the little guy last night! ”
Dr. Liu was silent, and everyone was in an uproar.
Most of the people present at this time were the neighbors who gathered at the door of Zhao Ji's house last night, and the situation of Zhao Zheng last night was extremely clear to these people. A few hours ago, he was in a state of ten deaths, but now he came back to life miraculously, and everyone present was amazed.
"Shhh...... It seems that Doctor Xia really came to the rescue last night, no wonder! ”
In the crowd, a woman sighed.
"No, Doctor Xia didn't come at all last night!" The one-armed young man retorted.
"Huh? Where does this start? Old Doctor Liu said last night that there is only a glimmer of hope if he joins forces with Doctor Xia, if Doctor Xia didn't come last night, how could this kid come back to life? ”
The woman, apparently not refuting her, asked with a frown.
"Most of the people present are close to the neighborhood, last night the old doctor and Zhao Ji went to invite Doctor Xia Shen Doctor must have known it, let me ask you, who saw Doctor Xia follow? This must be the old benefactor's new medicine that has produced miraculous results! ”
……
Hearing the one-armed young man say this, a touch of fanaticism appeared on the faces of every "spectator" present, and suddenly the door of Zhao Ji's house became lively again.
At this time, where was Doctor Liu in the mood to pay attention to the praise and admiration of others, knowing that there were still urgent matters in the house that needed to be dealt with by himself, he immediately bowed his hand to the crowd and said, "Hehe...... Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, so that's it! It's getting late, and it's time for the folks to go their separate ways! ”
When everyone heard what Old Doctor Liu said, they all looked up at the sky. At this time, the sun was already hanging high, and knowing that it was not early, everyone spontaneously dispersed to go their own way. After the order of the streets and alleys returned to normal, Dr. Liu, who sighed deeply, immediately turned around and entered the grass house.
Although the neighborhoods gathered outside the house had long since dispersed at this time, Old Doctor Liu's expression did not seem so relaxed, but became more and more solemn. Zhao Ji on the side didn't dare to speak when she saw this, so she had to sit on the kang and watch. Old Doctor Liu racked his brains and didn't understand why Zhao Zheng was in excellent pulse condition now, and he didn't look like a person who was beaten to the brink of death at all.
Looking at Zhao Zheng wrapped in the quilt, Old Doctor Liu sighed in his heart: "No matter how powerful his new medicine is, it will not produce such a miraculous effect, and fake death will not have such a vision!" ”
At this time, Dr. Liu was full of confusion and fear in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, after his mood stabilized, Old Doctor Liu whispered to Zhao Ji: "Fortunately, you stopped, otherwise your son will definitely die today!" ”
Old Doctor Liu spoke very softly, but he frightened Zhao Ji so much that his face turned pale in an instant. "Where did the old doctor start with this?" Zhao Ji asked with a whimper.
"Alas...... See for yourself! As he spoke, he pointed at Zhao Zheng, whose eyes were blurred.
Zhao Ji saw that Old Doctor Liu's face was getting more and more ugly, and she knew that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but feel worried again. Stretched out his hand again to get to Zhao Zheng, Zhao Ji almost trembled and lifted the quilt from Zhao Zheng's body, and when the worn quilt was completely separated from Zhao Zheng, the sweat on Zhao Ji's forehead had already run down his cheeks and mixed with tears.
At first, Zhao Ji looked at her son with a red stripe and didn't feel anything unusual, but when she looked down and looked closely, her originally pale little face instantly froze.
"Old Doctor...... This ......"
Looking at the healthy son on the kang whose skin can be broken by blowing, white and red, and whose body is fair and delicate, Zhao Ji's originally frightened face was directly distorted, and the hand that was originally lying on the child was pulled back like an electric shock.
"Alas......"
Old Doctor Liu sighed, then shook his head and said that he didn't know what was going on.
Although Zhao Ji didn't know much about medicine, from Doctor Liu, Zhao Ji knew that the situation might not be as simple as the one-armed young man outside the house said. Although she knew that her child was in a vision, she didn't understand what it had to do with her child's life and death.
Old Doctor Liu seemed to see the doubts in Zhao Ji's heart, turned his head and looked around vigilantly, and only after making sure that the surroundings were safe did he whisper: "The child can be brought back to life now, if it is not for the protection of the gods, there must be a master who is more profound than the old man's medical attainments, protecting the little guy in secret!" If it's the gods' protection, it's easy to say, but if someone is secretly doing it...... Hiss...... Then only nine out of ten people are related to the Qin people! If so, do you think you and your children will still be safe? What's more, this Qin man actually has such a god-defying medical dao! ”
Old Doctor Liu's words shocked Zhao Ji, and she couldn't help but worry in her heart. Seeing Zhao Ji's sad face, Old Doctor Liu thought that he was thinking about Zhao Zheng's safety, and then comforted him softly: "This matter may not be as complicated as the old man imagined, maybe it is not impossible for a kind-hearted knight to do it." You must know that the world is so big! Fortunately, the old man blocked everyone's sight with his body when scrubbing the little guy, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable! ”
"Woo...... That...... What should the little woman do now? ”
Hearing this, Old Doctor Liu pondered for a moment and replied: "In this way, the little guy is a little wronged, and let him go out of the house in two months, so that no one will be suspicious!" As long as two months have passed, as long as you and I don't tell this secret, it won't leak out! ”
When Zhao Ji heard what Old Doctor Liu said, she thought about it and had no other way, so she had to nod in agreement.
"Alas......"
Old Doctor Liu sighed, and then sat on the edge of the kang and fell into deep thought. Just when Old Doctor Liu's mind was turning over the river and thinking about it, Old Doctor Liu's apprentice, Xiao Yaofu, broke in from outside the house out of breath.
The little medicine disciple gasped and shouted, "Grandpa...... Whew...... Grandpa...... Oh no! Whew......"
Old Doctor Liu, who was deep in thought, was startled by the little medicine apprentice, and then scolded: "Little rabbit cub, I'm not dead yet, run to mourn you!" After Dr. Liu finished scolding, he was still angry, so he stood up and wanted to beat.
The little medicine disciple hurriedly took two steps back and said, "Master, don't fight, don't fight, it's really urgent!" ”
Teacher Liu couldn't get used to the little medicine apprentice's babbling appearance, so he immediately scolded: "If there is something, then say it slowly, what are you panicking about!" ”
The little medicine apprentice didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Just now I saw an official on horseback leading a team of soldiers here, I know that you must be on Aunt Zhao's side, so hurry up and run over to tell you about it!" ”
"Is that all?" Liu
When the old doctor heard what the little medicine disciple said, he frowned and asked.
"Oh yes, the leader is Brother Xiao Lizi, ho! Riding a tall horse is majestic! ”
Zhao Ji stopped crying after the little medicine disciple broke into the door, and looked at the old doctor Liu in a panic after hearing the little medicine disciple say that some officers and soldiers rushed over.
"What!"
Just as Dr. Liu wanted to continue asking, the originally quiet grass hut became noisy again. With a few extremely crisp sounds of horses' hooves entering the grass house, Old Doctor Liu casually dusted off his wrinkled clothes, and didn't explain anything to Zhao Ji, so he hurriedly got up and walked towards the outside of the grass house......
