Humanity is to conceive a baby in October and give birth once it is born.

If you do the math, it's almost this month. But due to this period of time, many things have changed. Cao Jiyu jumped into the dragon gate, from an ordinary craftsman, to a supervisor with a rank of 600 stones. This huge change made the family a little confused! Then, Cao Peng and Deng Ji were busy looking for a house and tidying up their residence, and they also inadvertently ignored this important matter.

From Longshan to Xudu, the distance is not too far.

It's just that the bumps along the way are ruthless, so that Cao Nan can't support it as soon as he gets out of the car.

Wang Mai and Deng Fan carried Cao Nan to the mansion, but as soon as they got up the steps, Cao Nan cried out in pain, and his voice was particularly poignant.

Dong Xiao also rushed over from behind at this time, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't move her, hurry up and put her down, put her down!" ”

But the problem is that it's so cold on the steps that there's not even a mat.

Cao Peng ran to Cao Nan's side, pointed to the gatehouse behind the door and said, "First house, first house...... Hurry up and ask Wen Po to deliver the baby! ”

But for a while, where to find Wen Po?

Dong Xiao said: "It seems that I'm afraid it's too late!" Aunt Hong, madam, you come to help, let's stabilize the situation first. ”

"Yes, yes, let Anan lie down first."

A group of people were busy, some went to boil water, and some went to hold mattresses.

The concierge is small in size, but large enough to be used as a temporary maternity ward. A simple bed with a thick layer of wormwood...... In the Central Plains, wormwood has the effect of driving away evil spirits.

Whenever they move to a new house, people like to visit some wormwood in each room to ward off the evil spirit that exists in the house. In this gatehouse, there is a lot of wormwood. Someone took a mattress from the car, spread it on wormwood, and then helped Cao Nan to lie down.

Cao Nan exhaled pain, and Dong Xiao was also a little helpless.

The reason is simple, he is a man...... In these years, there have been no men to do midwifery, and most of them are women who serve as stable mothers.

But the problem is that Wen Po didn't come.

Dong Xiao could only try to alleviate Cao Nan's pain, and at the same time kept urging.

Fortunately, both Zhang and Hong Niangzi have given birth, so they have some experience.

It's not easy for them to drive Dong Xiao out, after all, Wen Po didn't come over, and Dong Xiao was needed to stabilize Cao Nan's situation. Cao Nan exclaimed in pain, and Zhang was also a little helpless. Cao Peng had the heart to go over to help, but was pushed out by Zhang and Hong Niangzi.

"Your sister gave birth, what are you doing here? Hurry up and go out and see if Wen Po is here. ”

"Mother, Wen Po should come, she will naturally come, I am here, I can also help......" Cao Peng's ear listened to Cao Nan's pain, and he was also a little confused. After all, this is his sister in this world. Although Cao Peng and Cao Nan don't have much emotional exchange, there is the same blood flowing in this body. Cao Peng wanted to help Cao Nan, but at this moment, he didn't know how to help.

"When a woman gives birth to a child, what can you do as a man to help?"

"Ah Fu, you go out...... You're here, you're going to be tainted. ”

Cao Nan also endured the pain and persuaded Cao Peng to go out. But before she could finish speaking, she screamed again.

Cao Peng scratched his head as he walked out. Suddenly, he tripped over the wormwood placed in the doorway, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Mr. Dong, use moxibustion!"

"Huh?"

"Use moxibustion!"

Wormwood, as early as "Mencius" has been recorded: seven years of illness seek three years of wormwood.

However, the real use of wormwood was recorded in detail for the first time in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the Ming Dynasty.

Ai Yiye into medicine, surname warm, bitter taste, non-toxic, pure yang surname, through the twelve meridians, with the effect of returning to yang, regulating qi and blood, chasing dampness and cold, stopping bleeding and stabilizing the fetus. Therefore, there is also a saying of medical herbs. According to the Materia Medica, mugwort leaves can moxibustion defeated soldiers, warm the uterus, and chase cold and dampness.

Cao Peng has not read the compendium of materia medica, and he does not know much about the specific effects of wormwood.

But when he was a child, he often used his father's moxibustion at home. Once, when Cao Peng was on a mission, in a mountain village, he saw that his sister-in-law was about to give birth, but the doctor had not yet arrived. The local elderly used moxibustion to temporarily settle the sister-in-law until the doctor arrived to give birth and the mother and daughter were safe. In other words, does this wormwood have a certain fetal effect?

Dong Xiao looked back in amazement, a little unsure of what to do.

His medical skills are indeed not bad, but after all, he has too little experience and his adaptability is not very good.

Moxibustion?

Was this helpful?

At this time, Cao Peng had been pushed out of the gatehouse.

He had no choice but to shout loudly outside the door: "Mr. Dong, use moxibustion, moxibustion ......"

"How do you use it?"

Cao Peng closed his eyes, tried to recall the moxibustion method used by the old gentleman in his previous life, and immediately said it out loud. Dong Xiao hesitated a little and glanced up at Zhang and Hong Niangzi. He got up, pulled mugwort leaves from the pile of wormwood, and quickly rolled them into the shape of mugwort.

"Two ladies, or else...... Try? ”

"Then give it a try."

Now, Zhang's is also sick and went to the doctor.

However, there is another factor in her agreement. Cao Peng had studied with the Warlock for a year, and God knows what he had learned. In the past year, Cao Peng has brought too many surprises to his couple. Perhaps, the method he said really worked.

Dong Xiao soon ignited moxa.

And according to the positions that Cao Peng said, he began to use moxibustion.

Cao Peng couldn't say why, he could only say the approximate position. But that's enough! One reason, one hundred reason...... After all, Dong Xiao is Zhang Zhongjing's disciple, and he knows very well what acupuncture points are in what position, and what kind of acupuncture points are used.

Outside the gatehouse, Deng Ji's face was pale.

"Anan, hold on!"

He muttered unanswered, looking anxious.

And everyone else gathered at the gate. Cao Ji and Wang Meng lingered non-stop, looking at the porter from time to time. Guo Yong stood aside, not knowing how to persuade. He hasn't been at Cao's house for a long time, so he can't talk about many things. Moreover, when a woman gives birth to a child, he really doesn't know what to do.

"Why hasn't Wen Po come yet?"

"It takes a little time to come from Sirixu."

"How did I forget about this...... Last month, your brother and sister accompanied Anan to see Mr. Mr. Xiao of the Rejuvenation Hall also reminded that only in these days! In the past few days, I have been busy with moving, and I have forgotten about it. I knew it earlier, and I would talk about it when Anan was born. ”

Cao Ji kept blaming himself, and Wang Meng had to comfort him in a low voice.

At this moment, I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the gate.

Wang Mai turned over and dismounted, and a chubby stable woman was helped down from the horse, holding her arm, and walked to the house.

"Wen Po is here, Wen Po is here!"

The fat woman was panting, and her face was pale.

was packing up things at home, but Wang Mai didn't want to break in, so without saying a word, he dragged her over.

This little offspring didn't explain along the way, just rode his horse and galloped. Fortunately, there are not too many pedestrians on the road at this time, otherwise I don't know how many people will be injured. I thought it was ...... Wen Po has been widowed for many years, and she is really a little worried about being carried all the way by such a young man with strong blood.

"You little offspring, you don't know what to do.

This delivery always requires some soothing medicine and a lot of things to prepare. You pull the old body over, and the old body also needs a helper. ”

As she spoke, she walked into the porter.

After a while, I saw Dong Xiao come out with a red face, standing at the gate, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Dong, Anan, she ......"

"Uncle and grandson, don't worry, my sister-in-law's situation is fine. Wen Po is here now, and she is busy in it with the two ladies, and she will be fine. ”

Dong Xiao was talking and suddenly looked at Cao Peng.

"Ah Fu, how do you know that wormwood has this equivalent?"

"This ......" Cao Peng's eyes rolled, and he immediately replied, "I saw it in a book." ”

"What book?"

Dong Xiao suddenly became interested, "Can you lend me a read?" ”

"This ...... It's not that I'm stingy, it's really ...... That book was something I saw when I was in Thorn Sun. As you know, my father and mother were arrested, so much so that they lost a lot of belongings. We were on the run, and we couldn't have taken the book with us, and now we don't know where we left it. ”

"Do you remember, what is the title of the book?"

"Hundred Herbs!" Cao Peng blurted out.

Dong Xiao frowned, and thought about it for a long time with some doubts, but he never remembered who this Hundred Herbs Sutra came from...... What a pity!

Dong Xiao sighed softly in his heart, turned around and looked at the porter.

"It hurts me......"

From the gatehouse, Cao Nan's heart-rending shout came.

"Anan, you have to hold on!"

Deng Ji couldn't help it, clenched his fists, and shouted loudly.

Cao Peng also leaned over and shouted at the porter: "Sister, exhale and exhale, exhale with your mouth, exhale and exhale...... Brother-in-law, what are you spitting up? ”

Cao Peng let Cao Nan exhale, but he didn't expect Deng Ji to be on the side, but he began to exhale heavily.

"Huhuhu...... Anan, exhale! ”

Deng Ji exhaled while riding a horse and squatting in the crotch pose, clenching his fists hard.

At this time, his miserable white face was flushed. With a lot of force, that posture, I can't wait to go in and help Cao Nan produce.

Cao Peng watched from the sidelines, it was funny and happy for his sister.

My brother-in-law is a real person and an amorous person. This amorous is not indiscriminate, but love for his wife. Looking at Deng Ji's appearance, Cao Peng walked over and held his arm.

"Brother-in-law, don't be nervous, my mother and Aunt Hong are inside, and Mrs. Wen is also here, so it will be fine."

Dong Xiao also comforted on the side, "Uncle and grandson, don't worry. Mrs. Sister-in-law is in good health, and there will never be an accident, so you can rest assured. ”

There was chaos in this gate.

At this moment, a horse came from outside the Cao Mansion Gate.

Guo Jia got off the horse and looked at the messy scene in front of Cao's mansion, and couldn't help but be stunned.

When he walked up the steps, he saw Deng Ji standing outside the gatehouse in a squatting posture on horseback, clenching his fists and not stopping his luck, which made Guo Jia couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle grandson, why are you here?"

Deng Ji turned his head to look, quickly stood up, and said with some embarrassment: "Fengxiao, you are here!" Anan is in production, and I'm a little worried. ”

"Brother and sister are going to give birth?"

"yes!" Deng Ji said with self-reproach: "I patronized this house these things, and I actually forgot about it...... If I knew earlier, I wouldn't be in a hurry to move, rather than so suddenly, it would be better to be in the dock fort and wait for Anan to give birth safely. ”

Cao Ji sighed, "Uncle Sun, it's no wonder you!" ”

"Ah......h

In the gatehouse, Cao Nan's screams were heard.

Deng Ji couldn't care about Guo Jia anymore, so he turned around and rushed outside the gatehouse.

"Anan, exhale, exhale...... Whew, whew, whew! Follow me and exhale! ”

At this time, as long as it is a useful trick, no matter who makes it, whether it will be useful or not, Deng Ji can't care about it. Guo Jia scratched his head and glanced at Deng Ji with some amusement. He no longer bothered him, but stood aside and watched the chaos inside and outside Cao's Mansion become a pot of porridge. Suddenly, he saw Cao Peng and couldn't help laughing...... "Ah Fu, you are also here." ”

"Mr. Bonghyo."

"Eh, don't call me long, gentleman short. I'm older than you, and I have a friendship with your brother-in-law, so call me brother or call me by my name. ”

"Well, I'll call you brother."

If in the past, Cao Peng would have been excited because of this title.

After all, Guo Jia is also a person he admires very much. But at this moment, he couldn't care about the excitement, and he was also very anxious.

Fortunately, he was calm and not rude.

"Brother, have you had a physical examination?"

Guo Jia was stunned, "I'm so upright, what about the body?" ”

Guo Jia in history said that he was overworked and died of illness during the expedition to Liucheng. But the specific reason is not clear. Why did a good person suddenly die? The feeling to Cao Peng is that Guo Jia's illness was sudden, and his death was also sudden.

"Brother, you can't say that.

There is a way to be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and this body is a leather ...... Oh, the cost of serving the country. Cao Gong values you so much, you have to take more care of your body. ”

Cao Peng almost uttered the word 'revolutionary'.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and corrected his words in time, and Guo Jia didn't pay attention.

"It's just right, Mr. Dong is here, let him check it for you later."

Guo Jia frowned, not understanding why Cao Peng insisted so much and asked him to check his body.

"Mr. Dong?"

He looked at Dong Xiao.

Dong Xiao hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted Guo Jia.

Although he did not serve in the imperial court, he had also heard of Guo Jia's reputation.

Among Cao Ying's ministers, Xun Yu and Guo Jia can be called his right-hand man...... Zhang Zhongjing wanted him to gain a foothold in Xudu, and Dong Xiao had been waiting for an opportunity. And now, it seems that this opportunity has finally arrived! Dong Xiao knew that he had to seize this opportunity, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Guo Jia glanced at Dong Xiao in surprise.

"Brother, don't underestimate Mr. Dong!"

"Oh?"

"He is Niyang Zhang Ji, a closed disciple of Zhang Zhongjing."

Guo Jia was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "But Changsha Zhang Taishou?" ”

"Exactly!"

Cao Peng knew that Guo Jia was a little moved.

"Actually, my health is not bad......" Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "But since I am a disciple of Zhang Taishou, it doesn't hurt to check it." ”

There is no way, Zhang Ji's reputation is too great.

Cao Ying also thought about conquering Zhang Ji. But Zhang Ji's hometown is in Nieyang, which is Liu Biao's territory; Second, Zhang Ji dragged his family with his mouth, and it was not easy to come over. Nieyang Zhang's is different from Xu's in Qiaoxian County. Xu Chu ran with his family at that time because it was Cao Ying's territory. But if Zhang Ji wants to bring his family over, it is not so convenient! It is estimated that Liu Biao will not be able to let him go easily.

"Mr. Guo!"

Cao Peng turned around and called.

Guo Yongzheng and Deng Juye commanded Zhou Cang and others to carry things into the house.

Cao Nan is giving birth, but the family has to continue to move. From this point of view, it can be seen that Guo Yong's due diligence is placed. He couldn't help a woman give birth to a child, but when everyone was panicking, he knew what he should do. That's talent...... Cao Peng felt that the person recommended by Cao Zun did have two brushes.

He is well aware of his situation!

If you want to gain a foothold, you must have your own people in addition to a wide range of contacts. Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Hong...... It's all about connections. And what about Guo Yong? It is indeed a real person of his own, a helper who can solve problems for himself and do things seriously.

Those big cows and calves, Cao Peng didn't think about it at all.

He also knew that he couldn't invite those people.

Don't look at Cao Ji is now a supervisor, and he also has the name of a hidden ink giant. In the eyes of those celebrities, he was nothing.

"Take my brother and Mr. Dong and find a quiet room first."

"Uh...... Don't worry, let's wait for the uncle and grandson to take care of it. ”

Guo Jia hurriedly waved his hand.

Cao Peng listened, nodded, and did not force it.

After all, the matter of his sister is currently the top priority...... "Ah Fu!" ”

"Huh?"

"The situation of Guo Saijiu seems to be a little bit bad."

Dong Xiao walked to Cao Peng's side and suddenly lowered his voice.

This ancient doctor paid attention to seeing, hearing and inquiring. Dong knows Zhang Zhongjing's true biography, these four basic skills can be called very solid.

"How?"

"I just observed that Guo Saijiu looks in good spirits, but his lips are slightly blue and a little dry. Although the eyes are strong, they are scattered but not condensed...... I suspect that Guo Saijiu may be taking Wushi San. When he spoke just now, there was a very strange aroma in his mouth. It's impure and a little fishy...... The color of the tongue coating is a little whitish, which is a symptom of taking Wushisan. ”

Five stones?

What's that...... Cao Peng really didn't know too well what Wushisan was for.

At least in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is no mention of such a thing. Just seeing Dong Xiao's tone, it seems to be very serious. Cao Peng couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"Mr. Dong, what is Wushisan?"

Dong Xiao hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Actually, these five stone scatters were created by the family teacher. ”

"Oh?"

"When the tutor was in Changsha, he created Wushisan in order to give it to local typhoid patients. This medicine, surnamed Dry, has some tonic benefits for harming patients. It is made of five-flavor stone medicine, also known as cold food powder, and after taking this medicine, it is necessary to dissipate heat with cold food. ”

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Eating too much of this stuff is not good for the body, and it will cause a lot of problems...... Generally speaking, tutors will not prescribe this medicine easily.

Also, if you use five stones loosely, it will become a habit. ”

Guo Jia, drug addiction?

Although the meaning of Dong Xiao's words was vague, Cao Peng could hear the mystery.

That clearly means that Wushisan is similar to drugs in later generations. He looked at Guo Jia and couldn't help frowning slightly...... "Is there a way to cure it?" ”

"I don't think it's long before I come to Guo Saijiu to take medicine, if I recuperate, the problem shouldn't be too big. The key is that from now on, you must not continue to consume it. Even if you want to eat it, it depends on the situation. Concrete...... I'm not sure now, but I need to make a careful diagnosis. ”

Cao Peng nodded, just about to speak.

At that moment, from the porter, a baby's cry came.

The cry was very loud, and the faces of Deng Ji and the others suddenly showed ecstasy.

"Born, born!"

Deng Ji was a little crazy, while Cao Ji and Wang Meng were also excited.

"Ah Fu, we have a little nephew!"

"No, it's a nephew......"

Wang Mai and Deng Fan ran over, pulling Cao Peng and shouting excitedly.

That kind of fanatical joy made Guo Jia, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but smile...... "Congratulations to my uncle, congratulations to my uncle!" ”

Guo Yong hurriedly stepped forward and congratulated Deng Ji.

At this time, Deng Ji was stupid and only grinned. After a while, I saw Wen Po holding a child and walking out of the gatehouse.

"Congratulations to Childe, it's a boy!"

"Joy with you, with joy ......"

Deng Ji became a father for the first time, and he was about to go crazy.

He took the baby from Wen Po's arms and couldn't stop giggling.

"How's Anan doing?"

Cao Ji cared about her daughter and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Deng Ji came to his senses at this time, looked at Wen Po, and was a little nervous.

"Mother and child are safe...... The young lady had just given birth to a child, and her vitality was somewhat damaged. But if you recuperate, it should be fine. ”

Cao Peng stepped forward and looked at the baby in Deng Ji's arms.

"Dad, he's so ugly!"

Cao Ji said angrily: "When you were a child, you were even more ugly than him. ”

When babies are born, it's pretty much like that. The facial features are shrunk together, and they are not good-looking. Deng Ji glared at Cao Peng, hugged the child, and walked into the gatehouse.

Cao Ji's father and son also followed in.

Then, Dong Xiao also went in.

Wang Mai and Deng Fan wanted to go in, but Wang Meng grabbed their ears, "What are you doing when you go in and make a scene?" Hurry up and help move your things. ”

"Why can Mr. Dong go in?"

"He's a gentleman, he wants to show Anan's body, can you?"

Wang Mai Deng Fan shrank his neck, turned around and ran out of the gate.

The concierge suddenly became a little crowded. Cao Nan's face was pale, his expression was slightly tired, and he lay there weakly.

Deng Fan sat beside her and whispered to her.

The little baby was lying next to Cao Nan, seemingly asleep.

In the room, a fire rose at some point, and standing inside, I felt a little hot.

Cao Peng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother-in-law, have you given me this little nephew and thought of a name?" ”

"Ah......h

Deng Ji patted his head and said with some annoyance: "I actually forgot!" ”

Guo Jia also came in and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandson, it's not too late to name it now." ”

"yes, let's give the child a name."

This is a bit of Deng Ji's impatience to take the school exam! The child's name is not just random, it has to be said.

A flush appeared on Cao Nan's pale face, and he said softly: "Uncle grandson, come and name it." ”

Deng Ji wandered around the room, silent. After a while, he suddenly picked up a mugwort leaf and sat down next to Cao Nan...... "Shiyun: Pi Cai Aixi, I don't see it for a while, like a three-year-old Xi."

Anan, although we were only separated by a curtain just now, it was like a thousand miles away...... And, thanks to Ah Fu's idea, use it to help you with pain. Why don't you call him 'Ai'. ”

Cao Nan's face was blushing, and at the same time, there was affection, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

"Well, it's called Deng Ai!"

Cao Peng was moved by Deng Ji's words just now, and after hearing Cao Nan's words, his body was like being struck by lightning, and he shivered.

Deng Ai?

My nephew, called Deng Ai?

This time, Cao Peng was stunned......

(To be continued)
