Chapter 143: Misfortune
Ah Da stretched out his hand and grabbed the package, opened the package and took a look, there were a few pieces of broken silver inside, as well as a few hanging strings and some scattered copper coins: "All here?" ”
"yes." Feng Shi nodded, saw that the two bowls on the table were empty, and said strangely: "Son, where are the dumplings?" ”
"It's down!"
"Down? Oh my God, that's dumplings! New Year's dumplings! You're down! ”
"If it's not ours, it shouldn't be touched!"
"You! You kid! Aren't we going to pay them back? After paying back the money, this dumpling is ours! ”
"I don't care, look at the blocked heart! So poured. ”
Seeing that his son was so stubborn, Feng Shi was angry and anxious: "Where are you?" ”
"It's in the corner of the courtyard gate."
"I'll see if it's still there!" Feng Shi Dong Dong ran out of the door, but after looking for a long time, where was there still the shadow of dumplings, it must have been picked up and eaten by Huazi, or it was taken by a wild dog. Feng stood at the door and scolded fiercely, and then returned home.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw his son change into a single coat with patches everywhere, put the original cotton jacket under his armpit, and was about to go out with the blue cloth package in his hand, and hurriedly asked, "Son, where are you going?" ”
"Give the money and the padded jacket back!"
"Oh, didn't you say it, wait until you get well and then retreat, my mother agreed."
Ah Da ignored his mother, opened the door, staggered out, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blowing, he couldn't help but shiver, he was only wearing a single coat, but it was this single coat, and it was the only one he had now. His mother sewed him a jacket for the New Year, and when he went crazy in the morning, he took it off and didn't know where he threw it.
Feng knew that his son was stubborn, and it was useless to say, so he had no choice but to follow, and when he came to the door of Fuyun Hall, Feng finally felt embarrassed, and stood in the corner of the wall, watching his son Ah Da enter Fuyun Hall.
Du Wenhao was sitting by the fire talking to Pang Yuqin. The floor has been cleaned of dirt and the floor has been washed with water. Because he was worried that the Feng family would make trouble again, Hu Yanzhong was not easy to deal with as a man, so he was replaced by Xin Jiuniang, the leader of the female guards, who sat in the lobby to guard. Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin were a little surprised when they saw Ah Da come in.
Ah Da walked up to them and knelt down and kowtowed. Du Wenhao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, Ah Da put the cotton jacket and the blue cloth bag in his hand on the table, opened the package, revealing the broken silver and copper coins inside, and said: "Sir, madam, thank you for saving my life, my mother doesn't know the truth, so she doesn't listen to what she says, and you are wronged." I make amends to you on behalf of my mother. This is the money that I have taken before, and I will give it to you, and a padded jacket. Thank you very much! ”
With that, he bowed deeply again, turned and walked out the door.
Pang Yuqin saw that his thin body was shivering from the cold, so he picked up his padded jacket and chased after him: "Wait! Little brother, this padded jacket is a gift from us, wear it. ”
"No, no!" Ah Da excused himself.
Pang Yuqin couldn't help but say, and draped the padded jacket on him: "This is given to you by our husband and wife, and it's not a stealing one, don't you want to give it to you?!" Obedient! Put it on, don't freeze! ”
Ah Da put on the padded jacket and bowed deeply: "Thank you, madam!" "Turn around and leave.
Du Wenhao said: "Wait a minute, come back!" I'll check your pulse and see if you're sick! ”
Ah Dadao: "Thank you, sir, the doctor of Huirentang has already shown me and said that there is no big problem." ”
"You didn't take the packet of medicine your mother took, did you?"
"Didn't eat it."
"That's good, remember, the packet of medicine must be brought back and I will help you decoction before taking it, don't decoction yourself, the aconite inside is highly toxic and needs special treatment, otherwise it will be poisoned." Don't forget! ”
"Well, thank you, doctor."
Ah Da went out and went home with his mother.
Although on the night of the first day of the new year, he still gnawed on the hard bran noodles, but Ah Da ate very well, and with this thick cotton jacket, his body was also warm. Feng Shi saw that his son was in good spirits, and he put down a stone in his heart.
The next day, Ah Da's illness had not yet broken its roots, and he was still in a cold sweat, with chills, and his hands and feet were still a little cold. Feng Shi took out the medicine he had snatched back from Fuyun Hall and prepared to decoction it for his son.
Ah Da said: "Mother, the doctor of Fuyuntang said that this medicine cannot be decocted by itself, and the aconite in it is highly poisonous, so it has to be taken to their decoction." ”
"Listen to him! He was holding back the Fa and wanted to get this medicine back! Hmph, isn't it just aconite? Your father was so sick back then, and your mother boiled medicine for your father every day, and then your father died, and you were sick again, didn't your mother boil medicine for you every day? This aconite is not a rare medicine, it is often used in the recipe, my mother knows, and the doctor has also said that it is necessary to cook for a longer time, and boil three bowls of water into one bowl, no big deal! ”
Ah Da saw that his mother was in his chest, so he didn't say much.
Feng poured three bowls of water, boiled over a high fire, and spent half an hour, and finally only one bowl of soup was left, Feng blew the medicine warm and sent it to Ah Da. Ah Da took a sip and frowned: "It's so numb!" It's so bitter! ”
"Good medicine is bitter! You took this medicine yesterday, and today you are much better, and if you pay this dose again, you should be fine. Drink it up, drink it all in one go! ”
Ah Da drank two more sips, felt very numb, remembered Du Wenhao's advice, and was not sure, so he lied to Feng Shi and said: "The medicine is too bitter, mother, you go to the door to see if there is any maltose sold, don't we still have a penny, buy a piece and come back for me to eat, okay?" ”
"Okay, mother, let's take a look."
As soon as Feng Shi went out, Ah Da poured half a bowl of soup medicine into the pyre in the corner.
After a while, Feng Shi came back: "I haven't seen anyone selling maltose." ”
"No need, I've already finished drinking with my nose pinched."
"Oh, then you lie at home, and my mother will go to the street to see what she can pick up."
"Mother, I'll go with you! I'm fine! ”
Feng Shi looked his son up and down and nodded: "That's okay, my mother doesn't worry about you being alone in the house." ”
With two baskets on his back and an iron hook in his hand, Feng took his son to the street to pick up rags.
As soon as he left the courtyard gate, Ah Da stopped, threw away the iron hook, supported his knees with his hands, and breathed sharply with his head down in pain.
Feng Shi panicked: "Ah Da, what's wrong with you?" What's uncomfortable? ”
"I ...... I was out of breath, my mouth and tongue were numb, and my hands and feet were numb. Ah Da stretched out his hand and glanced at it, and covered his heart again, his expression was very painful, "I...... My stomach burned like a fire. ”
"Ah, come! Mother helped you back to the house to rest. ”
Feng threw away the basket, helped his son back home, lay on the earthen kang, covered the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at his son anxiously: "Doctor Huirentang said that you have abdominal pain and intestinal knots, could it be the same problem last time?" ”
Ah Da groaned in pain, pulling the bellows and wearing a rough air: "I ......, I don't know ......, it's so numb!" My hands, feet, and whole body are numb! ”
Feng Shi was busy rubbing his hands and feet for his son, and said, "Mother's hot water will be hot for you to drink, maybe it's fine." ”
Ah Da nodded. Feng Shi hurriedly ran to get firewood to make a fire, heated half a pot of water, put it in an earthen bowl, and brought it over to Ah Da to drink.
Ah Da shook his hand irritably, knocked the bowl of water on the ground, smashed it to pieces, and hurriedly grabbed his heart with both hands: "Mother! I was ...... panic and couldn't breathe......"
Seeing that his son's face was pale and drooling from the corners of his mouth, Feng Shi suddenly panicked and ran back and forth a few steps: "What can I do?" Wait, my mother will call the uncle and aunt next door to help, and carry you to Huirentang to see a doctor! - They said that even if you don't have money, you won't die without help! ”
Feng hurriedly called a few next-door neighbors, and hurriedly carried his son on his back to Huirentang.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the pharmacy officially opened for business, but no patients came to the door, Du Wenhao, Pang Yuqin, and Xue Fei'er were sitting in the hall talking.
Feng Shi and the others passed by the door of Fuyun Hall, Feng Shi didn't say a word, bent down and picked up a stone to smash Du Wenhao.
Xin Jiuniang, the leader of the female guards sitting next to her, was resting her right hand on the arm of the chair, seeing this scene, her right hand made a hard move, and she broke off a piece of wood with a click, and flew out with her hand, hitting Feng's raised elbow.
Feng Shi screamed, and the arm that was raised to smash the stone was hit by the wooden block, and it almost broke, and the stone in her hand fell down, and it hit her instep at once, so painful that she jumped on the spot holding her foot and one leg.
The two actions suffered by themselves, Feng didn't dare to mess around again, and he didn't have time to play tricks at the moment, he scolded a few times, limped and ran away.
Du Wenhao walked to the door, looked at their backs, and said strangely: "Didn't that big man come to apologize yesterday?" Why did this woman go crazy again and look for trouble? ”
Xue Fei'er had already heard about it, and saw this woman's shrewd appearance with her own eyes, his father opened an inn, this kind of thing has happened a lot, and snorted: "This kind of splashing, if you don't get some benefits, I'm afraid you won't give up so easily." ”
Du Wenhao shook his head and said: "It doesn't seem to be, the child who was carried by a few people just now seems to be the one who came yesterday, I am worried that they still took the medicine without authorization, maybe the child was poisoned." ”
Both daughters were taken aback.
At this time, the guard Hu Yanzhong also came out when he heard the movement, and Du Wenhao turned to him and said, "You immediately send two people to follow to see the situation, and what is the timely return!" ”
In Huiren Hall, two shop guys were carrying a basin of dung and water to fill Ah Da with their hands. A large basin of dung water has been filled, and Ah Da vomited so much that he kept humming with his hands on his knees. Feng Shi cried again, cursing the doctor of Fuyun Hall in his mouth.
Doctor Zhuang really couldn't listen to it anymore, the doctor always looked at the doctor, frowned and said, "You always say that Dr. Fuyuntang poisoned your son in medicine, do you have evidence?" ”
"Evidence? What more evidence is needed? My son had just taken his Fuyuntang medicine and was poisoned immediately, isn't this evidence? ”
After Ah Da felt that he vomited, his body felt better, so he drank a few mouthfuls of fecal water, retching, listening to his mother's words, he couldn't help it, and said in a weak voice: "Mother! You can't blame people for Fuyuntang, the medicine was robbed by you, and people said that this medicine is poisonous, and it must be given to them to suffer, and they can't be decocted without authorization, but you insist on decoction by yourself, and force me to drink it, fortunately, I secretly poured out half a bowl of ......, wow~! He bent down and threw up again.
