Chapter 431: The Old Man

Eleven or twelve-year-old, with a fluffy head, a black face, cheeks and chin, all of which have some small chilblains, covering her original appearance, if you don't look closely, you can't see that this little girl is a little girl.

Looking at her clothes, elbows, and knees were mostly exposed, all of them were covered in scars and chilblains, and none of her skin was of a normal complexion, I really don't know how she survived.

Zhang Chuchu looked at the little girl who was hugged by Xiaoyi pitifully, and wanted to reach out and touch her cheek, but as soon as the hand was stretched out halfway, she unconsciously retracted again, afraid that it would hurt this poor little girl. For a while, Zhang Chuchu didn't know how to deal with it, helped, helpless, and had to look up at her husband again. The husband is a miracle doctor, and there will definitely be a way.

"Alas!" Liu Yiyi's eyes swept over the little girl's body, sighed lightly, got up and took off the cotton robe on his body, and while the robe still had some warmth, he wrapped the little girl who was covered in dirt.

Gently put the little girl who was wrapped up next to the stove in the middle of the carriage, and raised her hand to wipe the temperature on her forehead, it was cold.

In such a cold weather, it is a miracle that this little girl who lacks food and clothing is not frozen and inflamed, Liu Yiyi put down his hand, and his heart also grew a sigh.

"Lao Wang, go on your way and find an inn in the nearest town from here." Liu Yiyi straightened up, glanced back at the coachman Lao Wang, who was still looking at him, and commanded him softly.

"Huh! Mr. Liu rest assured! Seeing that Liu Yiyi also seemed to accommodate the little beggar, Lao Wang shouted loudly, then stretched out his hand to lower the curtain of the carriage, raised the whip, and drove the carriage forward again.

"Xiaoyi, mix the pastry inkstone we brought with us into the hot tea, and gently pour it for her. The carriage drove up. Liu Yiyi opened his mouth and instructed Xiao Yi again: "Remember to be careful when feeding, don't choke." ”

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Yi responded. I was also busy rolling up in the carriage.

"Husband, is this kid okay? Why haven't you woken up yet? Zhang Chuchu looked at the child lying in Liuyi's robe with a nervous face, and asked Liu Yiyi softly.

"It's okay, it's mainly hungry." Liu Yiyi shook his head slightly, and said to his daughter-in-law comforting: "This child is also fateful, frozen like this, but he is still alive, except for some chilblains, there is no serious illness on his body." I'll give her some food. With the heating in the stomach, it will naturally wake up, and the lady doesn't have to worry. ”

The little girl didn't have any other symptoms, and it saved them a lot of trouble, Liu Yiyi glanced down at her. Said softly to Zhang Chuchu: "When I get to the inn later, give her a hot bath first, change into warm clothes, and then go to the pharmacy to ask Mr. Ren to take a look, it's just some frostbite, it's okay." ”

"Well, in that case, the concubine body will be relieved." Zhang Chuchu nodded reassuringly. Stretched out his hand and stroked the little girl's face lightly, looking cautious.

Treat a stranger like this, Zhang Chuchu is very kind-hearted, just. People with good hearts are often easy to be taken advantage of. Liu Yiyi took a sip of tea, and didn't want to say anything, it's not a fault that he is kind, and his wife has a good heart. He should be happy as a husband. And. With himself by his side, who can let his daughter-in-law suffer a loss?

Inadvertently, he glanced at the little girl lying down again. Liu Yiyi's eyes also showed a trace of unbearability, he said the comforting words to Chu Chu just now, but it is impossible to freeze a child like this, without more than ten days or even longer. In this kind of weather, living without clothes and food for more than ten days is unbearable for an adult, let alone a child. Not everyone can endure the suffering during this period.

Under Xiaoyi's careful feeding and the care of the warm environment in the carriage, the little girl's face has become a little ruddy, much better than when she was first brought in. It's just that for some reason, she hasn't woken up, and even when she drinks the food that Xiaoyi fed her, it's a subconscious swallowing action.

"Husband, look, why hasn't she woken up yet?" Seeing a small bowl of hot pastries in her stomach, but the little girl didn't move at all, Zhang Chuchu couldn't help but look at her husband again.

"It should be asleep, don't worry, lady." Glancing at the little girl, listening to her steady and gradually powerful breathing, Liu Yiyi chuckled and made a judgment: "Maybe I haven't rested for a long time, I'm too sleepy, and now I suddenly entered such a warm and comfortable carriage, and I fell asleep at once." Hehe, let her get a good night's sleep. ”

As he spoke, some voices and commotion could be faintly heard in the carriage, and Liu Yi lifted the curtain and looked out, and at some point, their carriage had already driven into a somewhat dilapidated town, and there were a few pedestrians on the street.

"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Liu, the inn has arrived!" Stopping the carriage steadily, Lao Wang jumped out and got out of the car, lifted the door curtain, and reported softly to Liu Yiyi and his wife.

"Well," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, picked up the little girl who was sleeping soundly, handed her into Lao Wang's arms, and then bent over and jumped down lightly, being irritated by the cool air outside, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but shiver.

"Lady, be careful!" Seeing that Zhang Chuchu also got up and poked his head out, Liu Yiyi hurriedly stretched out his hand to help his daughter-in-law and son to the ground. After Xiao Yi turned off the stove on the car, she also walked down with the package they were carrying.

handed over the carriage to the guy who came out of the store, and the group was led by Liu Yiyi into the store.

Because it was the beginning of the year, there were not many pedestrians outside, so there were very few people in the inn, it can be said that it was deserted, and when they saw Liu Yi they came in, the shopkeeper personally greeted him: "A few guest officers, the little old man is polite here, I don't know how many of them are staying in the hotel, or eating?" Staying in the hotel, the small shop has a room, eating, the kitchen of the small shop has a variety of food and wine, and several guests are satisfied. ”

"Three upper rooms, a table of wine and food, and we will be sent to the room in a while," Liu Yiyi looked at the inn lightly, it was an old shop, and the scale was not large, and it was estimated that there were only a dozen rooms.

"In addition, the shopkeeper has prepared some bathing water for us, well, if it's convenient, I wonder if you can invite another Lang Zhong for me?" Liu Yiyi bowed his hand slightly at the shopkeeper, and said with a little embarrassment: "My family is sick and needs to see Langzhong, but we are not very familiar with this place."

"I know, don't worry, this son can rest assured, there is a medical hall not far from the shop, and the little old man will send someone to invite the son after a while." Without waiting for Liu Yiyi to finish speaking, the shopkeeper understood the meaning of Liu Yiyi's words, and accepted it in one mouthful, bent over, smiled, and led Liu Yiyi to make a record in front of the counter.

When he picked up the pen and wrote, the old shopkeeper seemed to remember something, so he raised his head and said to Liu Yiyi: "However, if the prince wants to invite a famous doctor, you might as well go to the ancestral shrine in our town, where there is a Sun Daochang who is giving people free medical treatment, Sun Daochang's medical skills are very good, and many ugly diseases in the town are let him take a good look." "Oh? A Taoist with the surname Sun? Liu Yiyi's eyebrows raised, his heart moved slightly, and he asked the old shopkeeper softly: "Does the shopkeeper know the name of that Sun Daochang?" ”

"I've never heard anyone talk about this," the old shopkeeper shook his head lightly and said, "But next to Daoist Sun, there has always been a little Taoist with very long eyebrows, and the Dharma name seems to be called Long-eyebrow Daoren." To say that these two Taoist chiefs, that is really a good person, since the beginning of this year's New Year, they have set up a stall in the ancestral shrine to diagnose people, seeing that it is almost a whole month, there are many good diseases, but they do not see them to charge a consultation fee, the residents of the town, they are extremely respectful, as soon as the time to eat, someone will send them food. ”

The old shopkeeper held a brush, while making records, while chattering to Liu Yiyi, there can be someone on the side to listen carefully to his words, this old man looks very happy, talking up, Sihao did not notice, after listening to his words, the mind of the son in front of him is no longer here.

Sun Daochang, a Taoist with long eyebrows, sees people for free, isn't this Sun Simiao's two masters and apprentices?

This, it's really a coincidence, Liu Yiyi glanced at Zhang Chuchu beside him, and saw that his daughter-in-law was also staring at him, and couldn't help grinning, the two of them, no one would have imagined that in this remote and strange town, they would be able to meet the old people again.

"In this case, let's go to the ancestral temple in person for a while, and visit Sun Daochang and them, and the shopkeeper won't have to invite other Langzhong." Seeing the shopkeeper's stoppage, Liu Yiyi interjected.

After that, under the arrangement of the shopkeeper, the five people lived in the upper room on the second floor, the little girl was taken back to the room by Xiao Yi to take a bath, and Lao Wang was beaten by Liu Yi to go out to buy some clothes for children.

The group, for the time being, settled down in this small shop.

A man said to his wife who was about to enter the basin: "After giving birth to a son, we have what you want to eat, and we have what we have at home." If you give birth to a daughter, you will eat whatever we have at home. ”
