Chapter Eighty-Six: The Big Tiger and the Little One
Liujia Village is not big, it is a small village with only more than 80 households, because most of the people are surnamed Liu, so the name of the village is Liujia Village. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the way, Wang Shaoan also learned that Cao Hu took a little wandering to the end of the world, until Liujia Village, an old couple surnamed Cheng thought that the two were wandering beggar father and daughter, and saw that the two were pitiful, and saw that Cao Hu was tall and strong, and he was willing to help with the work, so they took in the father and daughter. It was only then that the two ended their wandering lives.
After entering the village, Wang Shaoan and Cao Hu dismounted and led the horses on foot. Walking to the end of the village, Cao Hu led the horse and led Wang Shaoan into a courtyard.
A small courtyard with a flat area in the middle, with several thatched huts in front and a thatched hut on the left connected to the house. There are firewood, farm tools and other miscellaneous items piled up inside. In the yard, two old hens are looking around for food. Cao Hu tied his horse to the bottom of the shed.
An old man walked out of the house, and Cao Hu hurried to meet him.
"Uncle Cheng, I'm back."
The old man's rickety body slowly raised his head, and when he saw Cao Hu, a smile appeared on his face. The old man looked very old, less than sixty years old, and looked like a seventy-year-old man.
"Huzi is back." Uncle Cheng's trembling voice sounded, looking quite happy.
"I'm back." Cao Hu replied.
After hearing the sound in the yard, a seven or eight-year-old girl ran out inside, and when she saw Cao Hu, she trotted and pounced.
"Big Tiger!" The little girl's crisp and immature voice rang out.
"Tiny!"
Cao Hu bent down, hugged Cao Hu's neck a little, spun around in the air a few times, and let out a bright laugh.
At this time, Wang Shaoan saw a trace of tenderness on the face of this gloomy man. Cao Hu smiled, and the two were as affectionate as father and daughter.
"Big Tiger, you haven't come back to see Xiaoxiao for so long." The girl pouted.
"Aren't I coming back, let's get inside." Cao Hu put Xiaoxiao down.
Uncle Cheng also smiled very happily, as if his own son had come back, and said loudly: "That, old woman, Huzi is back, and he also brought a guest back, hot a few egg cakes tonight!" ”
"Yo, Huzi is back?" An old lady came out of it.
"Uncle, aunt, don't bother, you can eat whatever you want. Well, where did Rourou go? Cao Hu asked. Rourou is the only daughter of these two elders, named Cheng Rou.
"Rourou went to the river to do her laundry, and she will be back immediately. Come on, don't stand stupid, let's get inside! The old man hurriedly beckoned the two into the house.
The hall was very simple, with only a table, four stools, and a jar, all of which were very old. This family does not have a strong man, and it must be very hard.
"Xiaoxiao, this uncle's name is Wang Shao'an, and you will call him Uncle Wang in the future. He's come to see you. Cao Hu said to the little girl.
"I've seen Uncle Wang." Xiaoxiao greeted Wang Shaoan very politely, and stared at Wang Shaoan with big eyes.
Xiaoxiao is very lively, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like she is sick. She kept circling around Cao Hu and secretly looked at this strange uncle. Thinking about Cao Hu's usual cold appearance, and then looking at this child's lively appearance, Wang Shaoan couldn't help but think of Leon.
After the two old men brought a pot of water to Cao Hu and Wang Shao'an, they went out to prepare dinner, leaving the three of them in the living room.
"Your name is Tiny, isn't it?" Wang Shaoan asked with a smile.
"Yes, my name is Xiaoxiao, I didn't have a name, it was the big tiger who picked me up and got my name." The little girl sat next to the red tiger, her feet swinging in the air, and she was a very cheerful child.
"It's a nice name, come and give me your hand." Wang Shaoan was still smiling, looking at this little girl, he couldn't help but think of his granddaughter.
Xiao Xiao obediently raised his hand and put it on the table. Wang Shaoan put his hand on his pulse and found that the pulse was very stable, no different from ordinary people. But no matter how difficult the disease is, it also shows the prototype in front of the old Chinese medicine.
"Wang Gongzi, how is she young?" Cao Hu saw Wang Shao'an open his eyes and asked.
"It's a little meaning, wrap it around me. Tiny, you need to lie in bed before I can treat you. Wang Shaoan took out the silver needle from the box.
"Can it really be cured? Okay, come with me! When Cao Hu heard this, he could really be cured, and he almost jumped up with joy.
Cao Hu took Wang Shao'an into the room, the room was still very simple, the room where Xiaoxiao and Cheng Rou lived, there was a bed, and a very old dresser, and the copper mirror on it was almost impossible to shine on people. However, the room was very clean and tidy, and as soon as Xiao Xiao lay down on the bed, the old wooden bed made a rattling sound. Seeing this scene, Wang Shaoan couldn't help but recall that when he was a child, he slept in this old wooden frame bed when he was a child. Of course, the era is different, and it is not the same.
Wang Shaoan diagnosed that this disease was caused by being infected with wind and cold when he was very young, and then he was not treated in time, resulting in high body temperature and poor blockage of some meridians in the body.
But fortunately, he met Wang Shaoan, he put the needle in front of the bed, and carefully pierced Xiaoxiao's body one after another, obviously much more cautious than usual. After all, in this disease, the acupuncture points of the needles have a sequence, and they cannot be punctured randomly, and once the needle is wrong, it may lead to a small and immediate onset. So every time he pricked a needle, he thought about it, and when he put down the needle, he confirmed it three times in his heart before he pricked it.
After the last needle was pricked, Wang Shaoan let out a long breath, as calm as him, and there was a little sweat on his forehead.
"It will take half an hour to get the needle." Wang Shaoan stood up and said.
"Okay." Cao Hu agreed, then sat down and said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, did you hear Uncle Wang's words, half and a half, you can't move." If you persist and get sick, you will be cured, and after you get well, the big tiger will take you to Lin'an Mansion to play! ”
"No repentance!" The little innocent eyes showed longing, as if he was in Lin'an Mansion now.
On the road outside the courtyard, two lewd young men who were as thin as monkeys walked into the courtyard of Cheng's house, they looked into the courtyard for a while, then looked at each other, and suddenly stopped leaving. The two of them crouched crouched beside the small tree opposite the door, constantly looking around.
A figure came through the archway of the field and followed the slightly muddy staircase onto the path. She had a wooden basin in her right hand, a pale blue turban wrapped around her head, and a few strands of hair scattered from the turban to her forehead. She has a thin face, the skin on her face is a little blackened by the sun, and she has a few small freckles on her nose, but her facial features are very upright, just like a little peasant girl. In this way, she can't hide her temperament, if she dresses up, she must be a small jasper.
