Chapter IX: Nullity
Yes? Li Qingdai opened her mouth in surprise, and her suspicious gaze turned a few times between Zhang Jianlan and Qin Lin.
Anyone can see that Qin Lin parried the heavy blow of Niu just now, and his arm was not lightly injured, and Qing Dai gently pulled him just now, and he snorted and gasped for cold air, and in this case, he was still asked to make medicine, wouldn't it be deliberately embarrassing?
Zhang Jianlan has some prestige as the first apprentice, Qing Dai didn't dare to refute this senior brother who had a straight face all day long, but the anger of Zhang Jianlan in the school just now has not subsided, and he just promised to "cover" Qin Lin, the only little junior brother, if he can't even cover this point, will anyone be willing to call him senior sister in the future?
She couldn't care so much, she walked towards Shi Ji angrily, and muttered with her mouth cocked: "Senior Brother Zhang is too bullying, Senior Brother Qin's arm hurts so much, how can you make the medicine pestle?" I'll make the medicine for him. ”
"I'll come, I'll come," Lu Yuanzhi grabbed the front and smiled stupidly.
At this time, the apprentices reacted, and hurriedly piled up smiling faces and rushed forward to help.
No matter how majestic Zhang Jianlan is, she can't cover the pearl of the palm of the Divine Doctor Tai Master, and she doesn't dare to expect to get this immortal-like junior sister Qingmu, as long as she shows a sweet smile, it will be wonderful!
What's more, there is already Lu Yuanzhi, a fat man, in front, even if the senior brother has fire, he can't spread it on everyone's heads!
For a while, the stars held the moon, some people went to hold the stone pill, and some people came to get the medicine pestle, not only Qingdai didn't have to do it, even Lu Yuanzhi was squeezed far into the outer circle, only Bai Yong and a few other apprentices stayed by Zhang Jianlan's side, it seems that two or three of them are quite eager to try, enough to make this senior brother so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and his face was as black as the bottom of an iron pot that had been burned for ten years.
The apprentices were making a lot of trouble, and suddenly Qin Lin said loudly: "Since Senior Brother Zhang made the junior brother familiar with the surname Yao, how can you live up to his kindness?" What's more, Mr. Pang also said that the younger brother has a thin foundation and needs to learn more and do more, so the ranking is slow, so let the younger brother do it himself! ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they were busy currying favor with Qing Dai but forgot about the main master, and they couldn't help but blush.
Since Qin Lin himself said that he wanted to pound the medicine, it was not easy for others to fight anymore, and the medicine pestle, stone mill and two bundles of artemisia annua all arrived in front of him.
Lifting the medicine pestle and ramming the pestle down, Qin Lin's cheeks were pumped back straight at the first moment, just now he blocked Niu Dali, both arms were about to fall apart, the pain was unbearable, and at this time he made another effort to pound the medicine, and when he lifted the medicine pestle, the muscles of his arms were sore, and the vibration that fell down was painful and numb, which was very uncomfortable.
Artemisia annua had to be licked sixty-four times, and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans on Qin Lin's forehead fell straight down, and Lu Yuanzhi wanted to replace Qin Lin several times, but he was stopped by him with his eyes.
Niu Dali accompanied the shivering old mother next to the stretcher, he wanted to replace Qin Lin, but he had just been reprimanded by Pang Xian, and he didn't know what the way to make medicine in the Li Medical Hall, so he had to watch Qin Lin endure the pain and take the medicine, and his heart was both ashamed and grateful.
After Qin Lin took the artemisia annua and filtered out the dark green medicinal juice to the side of the sliding rod, Niu vigorously said gratefully: "Little brother, I'm tired of you, although I am stupid, I am not a person who doesn't know what to do, and I will have a useful place in the future......"
A bitter apprentice answered: "This big brother Niu just doesn't treat our medical hall as a martial arts hall, and comes up to compete in martial arts at every turn, then we will thank God!" ”
Niu Dali was ashamed when he heard this, and his big head was about to hang down into his crotch.
Qin Lin smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to be like this, Brother Niu is a straight-hearted man with one or two two, unlike the Slippery Villain's Honey Belly Sword, if something is wrong, it must be Qin's fault." ”
Zhang Jianlan heard the words "Annihilating the Slippery Villain" and "Honey Belly Sword", her face turned red, knowing that Qin Lin was obviously scolding her head, and she was about to have a seizure, and she was afraid that Niu Dali would be rude and reckless, so she had to hold back her anger and grit her teeth with a clucking sound.
Niu Dali smiled stupidly: "Actually, it's nothing, Brother Qin ...... that day"
Before the words landed, Niu Shi on the sliding rod suddenly moaned: "It's hot, it's hot, the sun is so big......"
Niu Dali was in a daze, only saying that his mother was talking nonsense, but it was obviously above the lobby of the medical hall, and there was not a single bit of sunlight.
Qin Lin's position is relatively close, and he can see it clearly: Niu's blue cheeks gradually turned red, his lips were dry like fire, his nose was distended, and beads of sweat from his forehead were leaching out, and it was obvious that the pendulum had turned from a shiver to a fever.
Just now, Pang Xian had already instructed the patient to pour the medicinal juice when he had a fever, and he had already known that artemisinin was a special medicine for the treatment of malaria, Qin Lin did not hesitate, took the medicinal juice and slowly poured it into Niu's mouth.
As soon as the cool medicinal juice was swallowed, Niu's in the high heat seemed to improve, he let out a long moan, and his lips fell into a deep sleep.
Niu Dali was overjoyed when he saw this, and beckoned a few companions who came with him to carry his mother to the side room for patients, then turned around and grabbed Qin Lin's shoulder and shook it violently: "Brother Qin, thank you!" It's a stupid cow who can't stand you, and it's your fault! ”
Qin Lin's arm was already sore, and he was grinned by this bear-like big man, and finally waited for him to calm down before he slowly asked: "What is it for the hell that Brother Niu is angry with the little brother, and he is going to shout and kill when they meet?" ”
"yes, why?" Qing Dai also came over.
It turned out that after Qin Lin pounded medicine to cure his illness, Zhang Jianlan's expression was quite ugly, and the apprentices gradually dispersed under the prestige of the first apprentice, and only Li Qingdai and Lu Yuanzhi stayed to take care of Niu's family.
From the very beginning, the little girl has always had a stuffy gourd in her heart: Where did a "coward" like Senior Brother Qin offend Niu Dali, a big man like King Kong?
Niu Dali's mother is filial piety, since her mother's condition seems to have improved, thanks to Qin Lin's medicine for her, her attitude at this time is different from before, and she made a complaint to the three of them, explaining what happened.
It turned out that the Niu family was a poor fisherman by the Qi River, Niu Dali because of this tiger-backed bear-waist body, when he served in the state capital, he was appreciated by the former governor, and promoted him to be a small team leader.
With the new governor, Niu Dali is not so popular, his surname is Geng Zhi and he is unwilling to bully the good and squeeze money, and his colleagues are gradually estranged.
On the day Qin Lin went out of the city, he was on duty at the south gate, in order to check the problem of this "prince and grandson", he had a conflict with the golden retriever and seven gold townsmen of the left office of Qizhou Weizhong, and was caught and sued to the case of the famous master of the state government, saying that he was reckless and arrogant, and he was afraid that he would offend the nobles of Tianhuang and bring disaster to the state, so he was removed from the list and dismissed.
Niu Dali's father has died, and his mother was sad when she heard this, and she didn't know where to get the news that the old master of Benzhou was a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and his favorite sip of rice wine, a piece of moldy tofu and a fresh fish, but rice wine and moldy tofu are often available, and the precious mandarin fish in Qizhou is not often eaten.
For the sake of his son's future, Niu Dali quietly drove the small fishing boat left by her husband to the edge of the Qi River to fish, hoping to get a few fat mandarin fish.
Niu's is not as experienced as her dead husband, and she has not caught a mandarin fish, but she has been hit by a miasma to start malaria, if it is not for the villagers to rescue him back to the shore, he is afraid that he has become a water ghost at the bottom of the Qi River.
In the final analysis, this matter started when Qin Lin went out of the city, Niu Dali was dismissed, and his mother was seriously ill because of this, and he was naturally furious when he saw Qin Lin.
Now that the Niu family is saved, Niu Dali has calmed down a lot, and after saying the cause and effect, he blushed and said: "Actually, I shouldn't have complained about Brother Qin, I blocked the way of people and wealth in the state government, and some people have long been unaccustomed to it, even if there is no such thing, they will find an excuse to drive me away, just now, just now it was the old lady's illness that made me anxious, but I blamed Brother Qin." ”
Qin Lin nodded, this matter actually didn't have much to do with him, and he sighed: "I often hear people say that officials are as greedy as tigers, officials are as smooth as oil, and Brother Niu is doing things in the state government, and he is too honest to be treated by others." ”
"Yes, the butcher shop opened by my family, I won't talk about what is the usual practice every month, the three festivals and two respects of the master of the money and grain, and the filial piety of the master of the capture hall for four births a year, and the money taken out is a lot!" The little chubby dun Lu Yuanzhi was concerned, clenched his fists and said: "So my father let me go to the Divine Doctor Hall to study medicine, and I will become an imperial doctor in the future, see who dares to bully us!" ”
Qing Dai was very curious when she heard it, and couldn't help asking: "I understand the three festivals and two respects, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year, plus the ice in the summer and the charcoal in the winter, but the master of the capture hall is a person, how can he do four lives a year?" Isn't it a big joke in the world? ”
Lu Yuanzhi counted with his fingers: "Little junior sister, listen to me, the master of the hall himself is a student, and the old lady and the old lady in his family are two, and the wife is one, isn't this just four?" Only four students are said to be extraordinarily self-denying every year, and there are also girls out of the pavilion and young masters marrying, let's take our Feng Capture Hall as an example, there are five daughters out of the cabinet for three consecutive years, and four young masters marry, we don't know how many children he has in his hometown! ”
Niu Dali just laughed when he heard it, this is all an old routine in officialdom, Feng Zhuting collected money in Qizhou for wedding events, who knows if the children of his hometown in Shanxi are really married? Even the fathers and mothers of some officials have been dead for more than ten years, and they still make birthdays for the old lady and the old lady in office, so as to collect gift money.
Qingdai shook her head and sighed continuously: "Why doesn't the old man of Zhizhou rectify the rule of officials?" I think his old man is also from a two-rank jinshi......"
Niu Dali and Lu Yuanzhi glanced at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and said in their hearts Although your father Li Jianzhong is just a man, he is more incorruptible than most Jinshi, do you still think that everyone in the officialdom is like your father?
Qin Lin always buried his head in thought: It seems that in this era, if there is no protection from officialdom, even if there is advanced technology in later generations, it will be difficult to make his own career......
was hesitating, and suddenly an apprentice who was taking care of Niu's in the room came over, with a somewhat doubtful look, and said in the future: "The patient has a high fever, um~ It seems that the Artemisia annua has no effect?" ”
