Xia Xiang hugged Cao Shuli, turned around, and carried Cao Shuli to the shore steadily. Cao Shuli was already blushing, uncontrollable in shame, both soft and weak, and didn't dare to look at Xia Xiang, she had the heart to push him away, but she couldn't use any strength, she only said in a low voice: "You...... You let go of me. ”

Zuo'er was stunned, his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, unable to speak. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said faintly: "Xia Langjun and the lady are really born to make a pair of pairs, talented and beautiful, and spend a good full moon......" If there was no last sentence, her words would have been appropriate, but she suddenly burst out with one more sentence, "Oh, watch your feet, don't step on the cute caterpillar." ”

Caterpillar? Xia Xiang's hair suddenly stood on end, and when he looked down, sure enough, there was a green caterpillar wriggling on his foot, and it was crawling towards his feet-the beautiful feeling of warm fragrant nephrite suddenly disappeared, and he let go of Cao Shuli and jumped to the side.

"Ahh After jumping, Xia Xiang realized that he was on the shore, but it was too late, and his hands waved helplessly and helplessly in the air twice, trying to catch something, but in vain, and then fell into the water with a "plop".

"Ahh Zuo'er covered her eyes and looked innocent, "Don't blame me, Xia Langjun, really, it's all the caterpillars." ”

Cao Shuli couldn't cry or laugh, and was disgusted: "Shut up!" Why don't you hurry up and get clean clothes? ”

"Yes, lady, I know that I am wrong." said that he knew his mistake, but he peeked at it, Xia Xiang was drenched in the water, and he had a lotus leaf on his head, funny and embarrassed, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and fled.

"Why did something happen to me when I left?" Cao Shujun didn't appear early or late, and suddenly appeared, his eyes widened, "Xia Langjun, why did you jump into the pond?" Did you offend your sister and be pushed down by her? Sister, why are you so rude, Xia Langjun came to the door to propose marriage today, you pushed him into the water, how can he still talk to his father? ”

Xia Xiang fell into the water, it was nothing, it was a good thing to save the beauty from falling into the water, he didn't want to be pulled off by Cao Shujun's nonsense, he couldn't bear it anymore, he immediately pressed the stones on the shore with both hands, jumped hard, and jumped on the shore with a "whoosh" sound like a dragon out of the water.

Cao Shujun was so frightened that he took a step back and laughed: "Just on the road, I saw Xia Langjun walking with a tiger, his back slightly bent as if he was negative, but in front of him was a tall chest, which was the appearance of great wealth and nobility." Just jumped up from the water, like a fish jumping over the dragon gate, it can be seen that in this year's big exam, you can not only be a high school scholar, but also have a great future. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Xia Xiang was soaked, where was the good luck, "The future is not as good as the clothes now, hurry up and take your clothes for me to wear." ”

In summer, the clothes were thin, after Xia Xiang came out of the water, the soaked clothes were close to his body, and his figure was presented at a glance, Cao Shuli only glanced at it and hurriedly retracted his gaze, and couldn't help but feel like a deer. remembered the first time he met Xia Xiang, he also came out of the water to save his younger brother. The second time they met, he fell into the water again, but it was to save her. In this way, Xia Xiang and the Cao family are really quite fateful.

When Zuo'er brought her clothes back to the shore, there was no one in sight, she stomped her feet, and said hatefully: "As soon as the lady saw Xia Langjun, she didn't know how to call me, and she caused me to run for nothing......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly jumped out of the water, startled. When he looked closely, the person who looked like a chicken in the soup was Xiao Wu.

"You...... What are you doing hiding in the water? Fish or shrimp? Scared the hell out of me. Zuo'er glanced at Xiao Wu very dissatisfied, "Just like you, at most you are just an earthy and ugly loach." ”

Xiao Wu rowed and accidentally capsized, so he simply swam in the water. Later, when she swam to the shore, she saw Zuo'er talking to herself with her clothes in her hands, so she wanted to tease her.

"What's wrong with the loaches? Loaches are also fish. Xiao Wu was not angry at all, and snatched the clothes from Zuo'er's hand, "It just fits, thank you Zuo'er." ”

"Who let you wear it? Give me back! Zuo'er was furious and wanted to get her clothes back, but Xiao Wu turned around and ran, and disappeared in a few jumps, so angry that she stomped her feet with hatred, "You are a stinky and dirty loach." ”

After Xia Xiang changed his clothes and packed up, half an hour passed. Although it was hot in summer, Xia Xiang still sneezed a few times one after another, and felt a trace of cold invading his body, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

With Cao Shujun and Cao Shuli, they came to Cao Yongguo's bedroom, and the bedroom was filled with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. A screen of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains is facing the gate, and when you go around the screen, you will see a carved wooden bed. The wooden bed was hung with a thick weft curtain, apparently to protect it from the wind.

So sick? Xia Xiang was shocked in his heart, the weather had not yet begun in autumn, and the heat was thick, but Cao Yongguo was so afraid of the cold and wind, and he was tightly shielded, which showed how heavy the cold in his body should be.

Cao Shuli and Cao Shujun both had solemn faces, and the two led Xia Xiang to the bed, and Cao Shuli said softly: "Daddy, Xia Langjun came to say hello." ”

There was a cough in the weft curtain, and Cao Yongguo's weak voice sounded: "Xia Langjun is here?" The old man was seriously ill and couldn't get up to greet him, so he was rude. ”

Xia Xiang Shili said: "Cao Gong, can you let me take a look at the pulse?" ”

"Who are you?" Cao Yongguo hadn't answered yet, and suddenly a person flashed out from the side, he was dressed in a gray robe, his head was tied with a square scarf, his face was thick and his eyebrows were long, his nose was straight, he was about fifty years old, and he held a bowl with medicine in the bowl, "You also know medical skills?" ”

Cao Shujun hurriedly introduced Xia Xiang: "Xia Langjun, this is Mr. Jin Jia. Sir, this is Xia Xiang Xia Langjun. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Jin Jia, disrespectful, disrespectful." Xia Xiang knew the name of Jin Jia, known as the Holy Hand of Chinese Medicine, and was best at treating pediatric diseases.

"Disrespectful? What is the loss of respect? Do you know the old man? Jin Jia glanced at Xia Xiang indifferently, handed the medicine to Cao Shujun, and said coldly, "I don't know the old man, I don't know the old man, and I say that it is disrespectful and hypocritical." ”

Xia Xiang was stunned, it was the first time he had seen a doctor with such a sharp and direct temperament, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "I don't know Mr. Jin Jia, but I have indeed heard of Mr. Jin Jia's name, and I also admire Mr. Jin Jia's medical skills in curing the son of the prince with Fulong's liver." ”

Hearing that Xia Xiang had indeed heard of his deeds, Jin Jia's face softened a little, but he was still indifferent: "You also know medical skills?" I just heard you say that you want to take the pulse of Cao Gong, do you know that if you don't know how to diagnose and treat people indiscriminately, you will harm people. The powerful ministers mislead the country, and the quacks mislead people. ”

Cao Shujun sat in front of the bed to help Cao Yongguo take medicine, while Cao Shuli stood aside, wanting to help Xia Xiang say a few words, but it was difficult to speak. She knew Mr. Jin Jia's straightforward temper, but she never thought that Xia Xiang's words would make Mr. Jin Jia so pressing, in case Xia Xiang was forced by Mr. Jin Jia to have no way out, and walked away in anger, but what should it be?

Thinking about it again, the last time Xia Xiang saw his father for the first time, he asked his father if he had a cold disease, could it be that he really understood medical skills?

Xia Xiang replied with a calm face and respectfully: "Back to Mr. Jinjia, I only know a little bit about medical skills, and compared to Mr., it is far from it. ”

"Know a little bit about it? The old man only knows a little bit about medical skills, since you are as good as the old man's medical skills, the old man asks you, why is Fulong's liver symptomatic and spleen weak? "Jin Jia has a thin face, a tall body, and stands with his hands in his hands, as tall as a vigorous pine tree.

Xia Xiang didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "I don't dare to compare with Mr. in the next medical technique." The spleen is weak and cold, which is caused by the imbalance of yin and yang and the dislocation of the five elements, and the evil wind enters the body. ”

Jin Jia was slightly stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Xia Xiang was so young that he really knew the medicinal effect of Fulong liver, so he couldn't help but look at Xia Xiang secretly, and asked again: "What kind of Fulong liver can be used in medicine?" ”

Cao Shujun asked Cao Shuli in a low voice: "What is Fulong's liver?" ”

Cao Shuli whispered: "How do I know, but the name should be an earth-based medicine." ”

Cao Yongguo's face was pale, his face was haggard, and he smiled reluctantly, not stopping the conversation between Jin Jia and Xia Xiang, but also listening attentively with interest.

Xia Xiang thought for a moment and replied: "It is best to have more than ten years of soil in the stove, such as red stone, medium yellow, its shape is eight-edged, finely ground, and water flies over to get its medicinal effect." ”

Jin Jia was stunned for a moment, Mu Ran sat down, and after a while, he suddenly stood up and asked Xia Xiang in surprise: "Why do you know so much about Fulong Liver?" ”

Coincidentally, during Li Dingshan's three-year teaching in Zhongshan Village, there was an old man in the village who was sick, vomited and discharged, and invited many Langzhong to not get better.

Li Dingshan is not a veteran of Confucian books as classics, he admires Confucianism, and does not exclude the hundreds of schools of thought and miscellaneous schools, and it is precisely because of his open-mindedness that Xia Xiang was able to read a wide range of books and learn many things. Since he was a child, his mother has repeatedly taught him that if he is not a good person, he must be a good doctor, and in his mind, as long as he can help the world and save people, there is no distinction between good looks and good doctors.

"But Xia Xiang, do you know that the medicine that the old man used to treat the little prince was not Fulong liver, but just ordinary loess." Jin Jia laughed, as if he had won Xia Xiang, "At that time, the little prince Xia Cun was only three years old, and he was not well for half a year. This matter was passed around, and the loess soup was actually passed on as Fulong liver, haha, it's really funny. Fulong liver is hearth soil, which is very different from ordinary loess. ”

Xia Xiang was shocked, what, the child healed by Jinjia back then turned out to be Xia Cunxian? Is it His Royal Highness the King who killed him in public last time? In this way, if it weren't for Jin Jia's brilliant medical skills back then, Xia Cunxian would have died, and there would be no such thing as him killing him in public.

"Taught." Xia Xiang respectfully bowed to Jin Jia, "Sir, Cao Gong's illness, but the cold enters the body?" ”

Jin Jia nodded, his face solemn: "The cold qi is accumulating in the body, and it has accumulated into a disease for a long time, I am afraid that the medicinal power is no longer effective." ”

Bian Que said: "The disease is in the intestines, and the soup is ironed; In the skin, the needle stone is also within reach; In the stomach and intestines, the fire is within reach; In the bone marrow, the fate of the division belongs, helpless. Xia Xiang's heart was gloomy, Jin Jia's words, could it be that Cao Yongguo was already terminally ill and could not be saved?

"There's something I don't know about below, and I want to ask Mr. one or two. Now that the weather is hot and the heat has not disappeared, why is there a disease of cold entering the body? Xia Xiang never understood where Cao Yongguo's illness came from, if it was reasonable to say that Cao Yongguo had external wind and heat, but it was external wind and cold. Although the disease of wind and cold occurs in all seasons, it is more common in winter and spring. Moreover, Cao Yongguo's illness is not just caused by external wind and cold, but by cold entering the body.

"The diseases in the world are strange, you ask the old man, who does the old man ask?" Jin Jia said indifferently, "Since you know a little about medical skills, you might as well diagnose Cao Gong's pulse." ”

Cao Shujun didn't say a word, pulled Xia Xiang to Cao Yongguo's bed, and sat down according to him: "Xia Langjun, hurry up and take the pulse, Daddy's illness is very strange, maybe you can only be cured if you find another way to make a big move." ”

Xia Xiang had no choice but to sit down, put his right hand under Cao Yongguo's wrist, and after a while, his face became a little more solemn. Seeing this, Cao Yongguo said calmly and easily: "Xia Langjun, but it doesn't hurt to say it, this official has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and life and death are just ordinary things for this official. ”

Xia Xiang was silent and turned to look at Cao Shuli. Cao Shuli looked concerned, and tears flashed in her eyes. Looking at Cao Shujun again, Cao Shujun also showed nervousness, and his lips were pursed.

Jin Jia said unhappily: "Say whatever you want, swallow and spit out, pretend to be mysterious, it is the work of quack doctors." ”

"Okay." Xia Xiang suddenly made up his mind, "I'm not a doctor, I just know a lot about medical skills, if there is anything wrong, please don't be surprised." Cao Gong's illness is indeed cold into the body, and the cold has become sick for a long time. But generally speaking, when the cold enters the body, take more warm and hot medicines, and eat more hot food, it will also get better. I don't know why Cao Gong's cold qi has been hovering in his body? Could it be that Cao Gongjiu has been in a place where the cold is flourishing, which causes the cold to continue to enter the body? ”

"A place where the cold is in full bloom? How can it be? Cao Shuli got up suddenly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and lowered her head to think, "Daddy is usually in Honglu Temple when he is not at home, and he has been to banquets several times recently, all of them are in Wen Shangshu's house, and I haven't been to any other place......"

"Wen Shangshu?" Xia Xiang faintly thought of something, "Cao Gong got sick for the first time, was it after the banquet?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Shuli's eyes flashed, "The last time Xia Langjun came to the house, my father was already sick at that time, but it was not serious. He went to Wenfu for a banquet three days ago, and after he came back, he felt unwell, and when he met Xia Langjun, his illness attacked. After Xia Langjun left, his father was sick in bed. After Mr. Jin Jia's treatment, he slowly improved. Three days ago, he was invited by Wen Shangshu to go to Wenfu for a banquet, and after he came back, he fell ill again, and saw that it was getting worse and worse day by day......"

It seems that Cao Yongguo's illness is related to going to Wenchang's mansion for a banquet. Xia Xiang looked at Jin Jia with a puzzled gaze, Jin Jia guessed Xia Xiang's guess, waved his hand and shook his head: "Cao Gong is not poisoned. ”

Thinking about it, Xia Xiang secretly laughed at his stupidity, how could Wenchang poison Cao Yongguo? Since Cao Yongguo went to Wenfu for banquets several times, it shows that Cao Yongguo and Wen Changju have a good personal relationship, and Wen Changju has a grudge against Cao Yongguo, so he will not invite him to his house to poison him.

So what is the cause of Cao Yongguo's disease? Xia Xiang was puzzled.

"The old man can't figure out the cause of Cao Gong's illness, but he doesn't know the cause, and he has to be treated." Jin Jia still didn't think much of Xia Xiang, but he had a little more affection for his serious thinking and good inference, "Xia Xiang, do you have a cure?" ”

Xia Xiang nodded and said, "Now the medicinal power is not very useful, it is better to use the method of external force." ”

"What is the law of external force? Acupuncture or moxibustion? "Who is Jin Jia, as soon as he heard it, he knew what method Xia Xiang wanted to use, "The old man has tried acupuncture and moxibustion, although it is effective, it is too slow to expel the cold." The cold air stayed in Cao Gong's body for more than a month, and Cao Gong rested. ”

Cao Shujun was in a hurry, and grabbed Xia Xiang's sleeve: "Xia Langjun, you quickly think of a way." You are knowledgeable, you have a flexible mind, and you can think of a good idea. If you have nothing to do, Daddy is really hopeless. ”

Cao Shuli bowed to Xia Xiangying: "Please ask Xia Langjun to save Daddy." ”

Xia Xiang held his hands weakly and said with a wry smile: "If I really have the ability to save people, do I have to wait until now?" It's just that my method is not medical, so I can only give it a try, and I don't know if it will work. ”

Jin Jia got angry: "If you want to say it quickly, what are you talking about?" Even if it is useless, as long as it does not aggravate the condition, it is not considered that you are a quack doctor. ”

With Jin Jia's words, Xia Xiang put his mind at ease and said, "This matter still falls on Cao Sanlang." There are two things to do, one is a special medicine bed, and the other is a special medicine chair. It's also simple, just make some small holes in the wooden bed board, add a layer of iron plate below, put a layer of charcoal under the iron plate, put charcoal on the lower iron plate, and put the best moxa wool on the upper iron plate. Cao Gong was lying on the bed, and the medicinal power of moxa wool was heated by charcoal fire and infiltrated Cao Gong's whole body, and then entered the body through acupuncture points, which could drive away the cold. The same is true for the medicine chair, but unlike the medicine bed, which is used from the back, the medicine chair is used to take medicine from the perineal acupoint. ”

"The perineal acupoint is the key acupoint on the human body's veins, and it is in a straight line with the Baihui acupoint on the top of the human body's head, and it is the channel of the human body's spirit and spirit. Baihui is the yang to the weather, and the perineum is the yin to collect the earth's qi, the two are interdependent, similar and corresponding, controlling the normal operation of the true qi on the second pulse of Rendu, and maintaining the balance of yin and yang, qi and blood in the body. ”

"Yang Qi is the foundation of life, and if people want to live a long and healthy life, they must consolidate their foundations. Yuan, Yang also. If a person is deficient in yang energy, moxibustion can be used to replenish yang energy. Therefore, Mencius Yun, seven years of illness, seeks three years of love. Wormwood can replenish the body's yang energy and drive away cold. ”

When Jin Jia first heard it, his expression was indifferent, revealing a rather disapproving meaning, and when he heard the back, his face gradually became solemn, and in the end, his face was solemn, and after Xia Xiang finished speaking, he stayed on the spot.
