Chapter Twenty-Five: Summoning the Old Physician
Fortunately, at this time, it was already dawn, and although Lord Du Wei staggered, he finally shook out of the palace gate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Lord Duwei took Li Si to Zhao Ji's house after finishing his "leisurely stroll" in the palace, Zhao Ji's family had just finished breakfast. Just when the mother and son were washing and cleaning, suddenly there was a series of "dangdang" knocks outside the door.
"Zheng'er, go, let's see who's knocking on the door?" Zhao Ji said to Zhao Zheng while washing the pottery bowl.
Zhao Zheng naturally couldn't understand what Zhao Ji was saying, but in the scene, Zhao Zheng could still guess the general meaning of Zhao Ji's words.
Zhao Zheng still didn't squeak, just silently put down the scraps in his hand and got up to open the door. As a string of "squeaky" wood rubbing sounds came into his ears, the dilapidated wooden door that was originally closed was opened by Zhao Zheng again.
The door opened widely, and Zhao Zheng saw that it was no one else who knocked on the door, it was the white-bearded old man from yesterday, and he wondered in his heart: "Hmm? Why did this old man come early in the morning? ”
Old Doctor Liu couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw Zhao Zheng open the door and the whole person was completely exposed, so he hurriedly rushed into the house and closed the door.
Zhao Ji saw that Old Doctor Liu was coming, wiped the water on his hands casually, and then said with a smile: "Old benefactor, the little girl greets you!" ”
Old Doctor Liu ignored Zhao Ji, took Zhao Zheng's little hand and sat on the kang, and the old face that was originally smiling instantly drooped.
"Humph! The old man asks you, do you still want your son to live? Old Doctor Liu glanced at Zhao Ji coldly and asked angrily.
Early in the morning, he was scolded by Dr. Liu with a cold face "for no reason", and Zhao Ji's originally smiling little face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face. Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved in her heart, and then knelt on the ground and asked weakly, "Where did the old benefactor start?" ”
"In that case, then you still let your son open the door! Fortunately, it's raining and there's no one on the street in the early morning, so if you change to him, your life will be in jeopardy! By the way, from now on for two months, you should not let the little one get off the kang during the day. It's good to lie down and rest, and pretend to be sick to have a pretending to be sick! Old Doctor Liu pointed to the closed door and scolded. Because he was afraid that the wall would have ears, Dr. Liu deliberately suppressed his voice to a very low level.
Old Doctor Liu's words made Zhao Ji feel scared after a chill down his spine, and realized his mistake, Zhao Ji quickly kowtowed and confessed: "What the old benefactor taught is that the little girl will remember the old benefactor's teachings in the future, and she will not dare to make a mistake!" ”
"Alas...... Get up! Zhao Zhenghe is your son, you can do it yourself in the future! Seeing that Zhao Ji was still reasonable, Old Doctor Liu's anger also disappeared.
Sighing slightly, Old Doctor Liu reached out and slowly helped Zhao Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, up. After Zhao Ji was helped up by Dr. Liu, she naturally thanked her again and cried.
"I'll go, what are these two doing here?"
Zhao Zheng on the side was confused by the old man and the young man in front of him, he didn't expect that opening the door with his hand would make Zhao Ji scolded.
Zhao Zheng turned his head and glanced at the door, remembering that the two of them had not allowed themselves to get close to the doors and windows all day yesterday, and seemed to realize something, so he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Mom...... Damn, Lao Tzu can't be their unsavory illegitimate son, right? ”
Such a nonsensical thought flashed in his mind, and Zhao Zheng couldn't help but be stunned. Then, Zhao Zheng shook his head slightly and laughed at himself in his heart: "Hehe, how is it possible!" How can I say it, I'm five or six years old at most, right? Just at the old man's gray beard, even if he has that heart, he doesn't have that strength! ”
Just when Zhao Zheng was staring at the door and laughing at himself, suddenly, the originally closed door came from the knock of "Dangdang" again.
"Hey, is there anyone in there?"
Before the knock on the door could be heard, a young man's voice came in from outside the house.
"Huh?"
Except for Zhao Zheng, the other two people in the house suddenly changed their faces after hearing someone call the door outside the house. Zhao Ji's reaction was very exaggerated, and when she heard someone outside the house calling for the door, she hugged Zhao Zheng tightly in her arms and trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing that the two of them reacted so strongly, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but scolded in his heart: "I'm cao!" Did Lao Tzu guess correctly? Could it be that this old boy came here early in the morning to have an affair with his concubine, and today his wife and son are here with her family to catch the adulterer? ”
At this point, Zhao Zheng finally looked at Old Doctor Liu and Zhao Ji with a bewildered expression.
"Old benefactor, someone will come to the door in the morning, how is this good?" Zhao Ji asked timidly and softly.
Hearing this, Old Doctor Liu replied softly: "Hurry up and take the child to the kang and cover it with a quilt, and look at it, there is no room for error at this time!" ”
Maybe he was too nervous, as soon as Doctor Liu's voice fell, before Zhao Zheng could react, Zhao Ji wrapped Zhao Zheng tightly on the kang with a quilt.
"I'm cao! What a situation! Zhao Zheng exclaimed in his heart.
Because he was tightly wrapped in the extremely dirty quilt, Zhao Zheng, who was very uncomfortable, wanted to stretch his hands and feet, but he was held down by Zhao Ji as soon as he made a slight movement. Zhao Zheng concluded that this matter must have something to do with him, and the two of them were so nervous nine times out of ten to protect themselves. Thinking of this, a trace of inexplicable warmth flashed in Zhao Zheng's heart.
At this time, Dr. Liu was also very nervous in his heart, but fortunately, the person who called the door only knocked on the door knocker a few times, and if he knocked directly on the door panel, the door that was hidden would definitely be opened. At that time, it will be unknown whether Zhao Ji's child will survive until the afternoon.
Old Doctor Liu gently leaned towards the door. Through the crack in the door, Dr. Liu saw a young man dressed as two horses standing straight outside the door. Looking at it, an extremely familiar feeling poured into Doctor Liu's heart.
Just as Old Doctor Liu was muttering to himself in his heart, outside the door, a man's scolding voice came into the house.
"Damn, I won't even call the door, get out of the way!"
The man cursed angrily, then dismounted and walked to the door, arched his hand and smiled: "Hahaha...... Brother Liu, you can make it easy for your little brother to find it! It can be said that the habit of going to check patients early in the morning like yours is really rain or shine! ”
Dr. Liu has developed the habit of going to the patient's home the next morning to review the patient's condition since he began to treat people, and has persisted for nearly 50 years! And this is also a strange thing that everyone in Handan City knows. So the old man ran to other people's houses early in the morning, and everyone was used to it.
"Huh? The sound is ......"
Just now, Old Doctor Liu only felt that the young man in front of him was very familiar, but this time the man's voice from outside the house made Old Doctor Liu feel very familiar. Leaning against the crack in the door to take a closer look, Old Doctor Liu's originally tense heart instantly relaxed......
