Chapter 36: The Illness of the Sir
In the morning, he finished practicing calligraphy according to the fixed course, and discussed the medical prescription with Mr. for a while, and near noon, Xiao Hai sent someone to find him to go to the iron-making field for some trouble, and when he came home at dusk, he only saw his mother and Jin'er cooking at home. "Where has Master gone?" asked casually, Jin'er looked at him with a smile and said, "Aya went to visit a few poor families in the village, and brought money", "Master is kind-hearted, and it is reasonable to send some money and food, how much money did Master bring?" "It's not much, it's only five times" Jin'er looked at him and replied, Xiao Zheng suddenly wanted to tease this little girl, so he pretended to be heartbroken and beat his chest and said: "Five times, only five times!" Master, your old man is a big deal, our family's money is not blown by the wind, the disciple worked hard to toss a big winter wind and snow to earn three melons and two dates, this is usually the medicine is also counted, you spend five times a day, this month is one hundred and fifty times, the disciple can't earn that much......
"Nonsense! It's impossible to go crazy for the teacher, and send five yuan out every day", when Xiao Zheng was performing in front of Jin'er, the master didn't know when he came back from outside. "As a teacher, I see that there are a few families in the two villages who are difficult to make a living in the cold weather to help them, just by the one you and Xiao Hai made, that what, oh, the iron stove and the coal cake, I know that your kid will be indispensable in the future, don't think that your little trick can hide from me."
After the gentleman finished speaking, he suddenly went up the steps and said, "Do you think it is a good thing to be young and have more money?" Now there are still two families in the village who are not even prepared enough clothes for the winter, and the teacher spends money for you to accumulate some merit for you, and you are not satisfied, and the rest of the money is for your mother to keep for you, and you are not allowed to spend it indiscriminately." Xiao's mother came out with the prepared meal and heard what the master said, and said, "I don't have the heart to care about those things, let you Jin'er go and collect it for you, and spend money to find Jin'er in the future", and entered the house with a smile.
Goof, the performance ended, provoking Jin'er to cover her mouth and laugh at Xiao Zheng all the time, Jin'er came to Xiao Zheng and said in a mocking tone: "Mr. Xiao, your old man can make money so much and don't care about this one hundred and eighty yuan, when you get my money in the future, don't think about asking for it." "You..., I...."Looking at Xiao Zheng's angry appearance, Jin'er leaned forward again, "How about it, I'm not convinced, you beat me", looking at Jin'er coming over, the hairs on her white face were clearly visible, Xiao Zheng's heart shook for a while, and suddenly he leaned over and kissed Jin'er's face gently. I saw Jin'er's exclamation of "ah", and when he came to his senses, Xiao Zheng had already jumped to the door, Xiao Zheng spread his hands to Jin'er, which means that you asked me to "beat", but I didn't "hit" you! The voice of the gentleman came from the house, "What's the matter outside, what are you shouting about not eating", "No... It's okay", Jin'er replied vaguely, then glared at Xiao Zheng with a red face, stomped his feet and turned back to his room, waited until his room settled down, stroked his face and gritted his teeth for a while and ......smiled again.
The next morning, when I got up, I pushed the door and saw that it was snowing again, and after sweeping the snow with a broom, I didn't see that the master hadn't gotten up yet, so it was a little strange. In the past, the master got up a little earlier than himself, even if it snowed, he would not be late to go anywhere, when he was hesitating, he saw that Mr. opened the door a little slowly, and coughed twice from time to time, Xiao Zheng hurriedly threw down the broom and ran forward to support the master, touched Mr.'s forehead with his hand, felt a little hot, and asked worriedly: "Master, is your old man okay?" ”
Mr. waved his hand to Xiao Zheng and said: "It's okay, it may be that I suffered some wind chill when I went to those houses yesterday, I will prescribe some medicine for Jin'er to fry, and it should be fine after resting", Jin'er also entered the house after hearing it and was busy decocting the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by Mr., watching Mr. take the medicine and quickly help him to lie on the kang, and at noon, Mr.'s cough began to worsen, Xiao Zheng checked Mr. pulse and found that the pulse was a little messy, and touched his forehead again, Although I don't have a greenhouse meter, I know from my own experience that my husband has a high fever now. Xiao Zheng's heart was a little panicked, so he said eagerly to his husband: "Master, as the saying goes, this medicine does not heal yourself, your illness came too suddenly, why don't you let the disciple treat you?" When the gentleman heard this, he answered in a drowsy state and fell asleep again.
Xiao Zheng immediately got up and ran to the pharmacy, thought seriously for a while in front of the medicine cabinet of Mai Dong, Zhimu, licorice, and Huangling, and prepared the good prescriptions for colds in later generations according to the king's ministers, and adjusted the prescription according to Mr.'s symptoms and asked Jin'er to fry it quickly, and when he went in with the medicine bowl and helped Mr. up, Mr. closed his eyes and smelled the smell of the medicinal juice and said: "Apprentice, your prescription is very good, and it has surpassed the medical skills of the teacher, and I am very relieved." "Aye, this medicine is good, you can drink it quickly, your illness can't afford to delay", Jin'er persuaded anxiously beside her. When Mr. finished taking the medicine and lay down, Xiao Zheng heated the fire in the furnace again, and covered Mr. with a thick quilt, so that Xiao's mother burned vinegar in Mr. 's room to eliminate the disinfection, and at night, Mr. slowly woke up after sweating on the third watch, and saw that the master was awake, Xiao Zheng hurriedly walked over and checked Mr. and did not speak after checking his pulse.
Mr. saw that Jin'er was also sitting on the edge of the bed, so he gently patted Jin'er's hand with his hand and said weakly: "You have also been busy for a day, go to sleep first, let Zheng'er accompany me first" "Aya, I won't go, I want to accompany you" Jin'er didn't listen to Mr. this time, "You stupid child", Mr. said with a wry smile. After saying two words, Mr. fell asleep again, I thought that I could get better after sweating, but I didn't expect that the next morning, Mr.'s high fever rose again, and the cough intensified, and when Xiao Zheng saw the blood clot in the phlegm coughed up by Mr., he suddenly became anxious, opened the placket of Mr.'s chest, pressed Mr.'s pulse with his hand, and carefully listened to Mr.'s breathing and heartbeat with his ear on his chest, and his heart sank after listening. Seeing that Mr. was still having a high fever, he hurriedly asked Jin'er to take the remaining jars of wine and pour them into the basin, dipped the wine in gauze and wiped Mr. on his forehead and armpits, and at noon, Mr.'s fever slowly subsided, and when Mr. was a little sober, he gave the decoctioned medicine to Mr. again.
Seeing that her husband's illness was getting worse and worse, Jin'er had already cried several times, Xiao's mother and Xiao Zheng could only slowly be relieved, and some people in the village who knew Xin'er also rushed over one after another. The good old man in the village of Mr. is admired for his virtue and morality, and when he heard that Mr. was seriously ill, he dragged his family to visit, and most of the people of the village stood in the courtyard of the house. Xiao Zheng was afraid that too many people would go to Mr.'s bedroom to affect his rest, so he just asked the villagers to send a few respectable people to visit him, and the villagers who couldn't get in didn't leave, just waited in other rooms, and some kowtowed to Mr. in the courtyard outside through the door of the house, praying for Mr. to recover soon, which made people look moved and sad.
At dusk, when the lamp was in charge, Mr. slowly woke up, looked at a few around him, turned his head to Xiao Zheng and said: "Apprentice, for the teacher to know that your painting skills are extraordinary, for the teacher just dreamed of your ancestor, he said that he wanted to take the teacher to the world of immortals, the day I go is not far away, cough... cough...", and then fell asleep again. Hearing Master Dao say this, Xiao Zheng's tears also flowed, and Jin'er cried out.
