Chapter 5: The Sickness in the Spring

White is sick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It is said that he is so sick that he can't go out, and he can't even participate in major festivals such as spring ploughing.

"Is that kid really sick?" On the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling.

"I'm so sick that I can't get out of bed, I have a high fever that doesn't go away, and my mouth is full of mush!" Fang Xuanling replied.

"Looks like he's really sick."

"It's also possible that he's using his illness to avoid something. Your Majesty, this kid is a slippery head. Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Of course, Li Shimin also knew that his Fang Xiang was dressed up in disguise before, went to Taoyuan Village, and saw the white chess, so he also smiled and said: "What Xuan Ling said is very true. However, although it is a slippery head, it is also a usable material, and it lacks some polishing. ā€

Fang Xuanling didn't speak, and the Lizheng Hall fell silent. Li Shimin flipped through the drawings he got back from White.

"The new waterwheel, the curved plow, and the easier paper-making technique, it seems that the kid is showing us goodwill! Very interesting boy, I actually want to meet him. Li Shimin raised his head and asked Fang Xuanling: "How is Yu Wenyan handling it?" ā€

"The minister has asked the scholar to give him a verbal warning. In addition, this person is a relative of Yuwen Mansion, and there is no other voice in Yuwen Mansion to punish him. ā€

"Hmph, what sound can they come out!" Li Shimin snorted and continued to say to Fang Xuanling: "Yu Wenyan has been making a lot of moves against Taoyuan Village over the years. It is not an ordinary thing for a small Taoyuan Village to let a dog left outside by Yuwen's family bite it to death. Xuan Ling, you send someone to check, what does Yu Wenyan want from Taoyuan Village? ā€

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"In addition, let Imperial Doctor Wang follow you to Taoyuan Village, and you don't need to use the name of the royal family."

In Taoyuan Village, a bunch of people gathered outside the white chess house, probing in from time to time to take a look.

Liu Laohan sat at the head of Baiqi's bed, touched his hot forehead, and looked sad: "It's really not light!" Did the doctor get it? ā€

"Uncle, Lu Lao Er hasn't come back yet!" Carpenter Zhang went out to confirm it, and came back to tell Liu Laohan.

Liu Laohan's forehead wrinkled into Sichuan characters, looked at the white chess lying on the bed, and sighed heavily.

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, there is an old gentleman outside, saying that he wants to visit Mr." The dog ran in at this time, tilted his head and said to Liu Laohan.

Liu Laohan touched the dog's head, got up and took his hand, and went out of the house together.

"Brother Liu, if you want to come out to pick me up, it's really embarrassing for me!" Fang Xuanling saw the silver-haired Liu Laohan coming out with his waist bent, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the latter's hand.

"Ling Fu came, my old man is not a person who can't walk, and the etiquette that should be there is still needed. It's just that the wind song can't come out to greet it! ā€

Seeing Liu Laohan's sad face, Fang Xuanling gently patted his hand and pointed to the imperial doctor Wang behind him: "I heard that Fengqu Xiao'er was seriously ill, so I specially invited the most famous doctor Wang in Chang'an to see him!" ā€

Imperial Doctor Wang was also a middle-aged man, with a kind face, he stood behind Fang Xuanling and said respectfully: "Uncle, please rest assured, Wang will definitely do his best." ā€

"Good, good!" Liu Laohan patted his thighs excitedly and immediately welcomed the two into the house.

Imperial Doctor Wang carefully examined Bai Qi, and finally prescribed a prescription, turned to Fang Xuanling and Liu Laohan and said: "Old man, Ling Fugong rest assured, Bai Jialangjun is just overworked, and it should have been raining recently, and the invasion of external evil has caused a high fever that does not go away. ā€

When Liu Laohan and the villagers outside the house heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fang Xuanling summoned an attendant from outside the house and instructed him to ride on his horse and go to the city as soon as possible, and buy medicinal herbs according to the recipe.

Imperial Physician Wang took out a three-edged needle from the medical box, and pricked the needle in the back and elbow of the white chess piece, squeezing out the hot blood.

"After a quarter of an hour, the high fever will go away." Imperial Doctor Wang stood up and clenched his fists and said to the two.

"Okay, what a hassle with Dr. Wang!" Liu Laohan held a cane and asked Imperial Doctor Wang and Fang Xuanling to sit down.

Fang Xuanling only began to have time to look at this small room at this time. In a small room, there is a living room on the outside and a bedroom on the inside. In the living room, a round table that seats four people is placed in the center, with a pot of tea on it, and two benches are placed next to the round table. Several chairs, some high and low, large and small, were neatly arranged in the corners of the room.

At the entrance, a strange rocking chair slanted towards the doorway.

"Hehe, that kid is a person who can enjoy it, and since he came to our village, he has been doing this and that. These pieces of furniture were made by him and the villagers in his spare time. Not to mention, it's so much more convenient than before! Liu Laohan smiled, and pointed to the crutches in his hand to show Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling sat on the rocking chair very curiously, lay down, shook his body slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Whimsical ideas, wild ideas!" Fang Xuanling's eyes widened, and the two essences disappeared in a flash.

"Ling Fu, these are not the most precious things of the wind song boy!" White's illness was no big deal, and Liu Laohan's depression in the past two days was swept away.

"Oh? Brother Liu, take Lingfu to take a look! Fang Xuanling was overjoyed, he was now looking forward to the surprise in the future.

Liu Laohan left the other villagers in the house, and led Fang Xuanling through the back door at the back of the house to a small courtyard at the back of the house.

In the small courtyard, a lonely, large, tattered tile water tank stood in the courtyard.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward, and the water tank was filled with moist and fertile soil, and the green and tender seedlings bubbled up on top of the soil, covering half of the surface of the water tank.

"Brother Liu, this is the most precious thing for that kid?" Fang Xuanling looked at Liu Laohan and asked.

The expression on Liu Laohan's face became very pious at this time, and his cloudy old eyes stared at those young seedlings fiercely, nodding heavily.

"On weekdays, this is a forbidden place for people in the village, except that I can come in and take a look, the black dog in the village came in once before, and was beaten half to death by the wind song boy!"

"Why?" Fang Xuanling was curious.

Liu Laohan exhaled deeply, turned around, stared at Fang Xuanling deadly, and said solemnly: "Ling Fu, can I trust you?" ā€

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then immediately nodded and said, "Brother Liu, you can rest assured, Ling Fu has something to hide from you, but it is absolutely harmless!" ā€

"Well, that's what Fengqu told me, that's why I brought you here." Liu Laohan paused, and then sighed: "Old man, I am a person who has experienced natural and man-made disasters such as **** and locust plagues. People in the world are just asking for nothing more than a full word. ā€

Fang Xuanling didn't speak, and in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, wolf smoke was everywhere; In the second year of Zhenguan, locusts were overwhelming, which time was not a catastrophe!

"To tell you the truth, when Fengqu told me about the vat in front of me, I didn't believe it. But ah, he was rescued by me, and although I have only been with him for less than three months now, I regard him as my grandson. Since it's my grandson, then I should trust him! ā€

"Brother Liu, what is this!" Fang Xuanling seemed to think of something, and her voice began to tremble.

"This crop is called potatoes. It can be grown in most areas of Datang and is a very adaptable crop. Liu Laohan paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said in a low voice: "The yield of potatoes per acre of land, according to Fengqu, as long as it is cultivated properly, has a minimum of seven to eight stones, and if it is cultivated carefully, it can reach the yield of ten to twelve stones!" And these potatoes are easy to store and can be placed in a kiln for reuse in the next year! ā€

Fang Xuanling only felt that his mind was rumbling, and when he arrived, the whole person almost fell on the water tank.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, turned his head to look at Liu Laohan, who was looking at him, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Liu, you made a special trip to scare me, see my jokes!" ā€

"The first time I heard about this, I was even worse than you, and I pinched Fengqu's neck directly, almost choking that kid out of breath!" Liu Laohan laughed, and tears flowed down: "But ah, Fengqu, this kid, I know that he will never say anything that he is not sure of, so I began to guard this water tank every day when I was free." This is not only the most precious thing for that child, but also my old man, and it is also a treasure of Datang! ā€

White's body temperature dropped, and his breathing calmed down.

Fang Xuanling went back, what he saw and heard in the backyard just now still couldn't calm him down completely, he wanted to go back and report this matter to the emperor.

White chess walks among the high-rise buildings, on the wide road, and the traffic is busy. In this concrete forest, he walked aimlessly. The sun overhead was burning the earth, and pedestrians on the road were hurrying to and fro. A man who walked very fast collided with a white piece on the shoulder, and the whole person took a few steps back.

"Don't you walk with long eyes!"

White looked up, trying to see the man's appearance clearly, trying to tell him that he didn't mean it, that you were walking too fast, and he didn't have time to dodge.

It may be that the sunlight is too strong, and White does not see the person's appearance clearly. He opened his mouth, and then realized that he couldn't say a word.

A strong sense of fear tightened the white pieces in place. His pupils dilated with fear, and the people around him began to look at him, everyone's face was flat, there were no facial features, and under the black hair, there were white planes, and everyone was scolding him.

In the sky, the scorching sun was covered by a huge dark cloud, and the whole city was soon plunged into darkness. The lights flickered and then all went out.

The men stopped cursing and became afraid, so they began to run, trying to leave the city that had been plunged into darkness.

The sound of waves was heard in the distance, and behind the building more than fifty stories high, a huge wave suddenly appeared in the air, rolling up countless people, who stretched out their hands in the sea and asked for help from the white chess pieces on the ground.

White watched all this in amazement, and tried to run, only to find that at some point his feet had turned into a swamp, and many double skull arms stretched out from underneath, dragging him dead in place.

The waves swept through the concrete forest, and White watched as he was dragged into the mud, the pain of suffocation causing him to burst with unimaginable strength, break free from his skeletal hand, and rush to the ground.

"Ahh Bai Qi sat up from the bed, looked around, raised his hand with difficulty, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and let out a long breath.

It was pitch black outside, the oil lamp on the countertop was glowing dimly, and the walls were full of shadows, and the smell of medicine wafting from the nose was wafting from the nose.

The spring night in the north was a little cold, so Bai Qi sat up, hugged his knees tightly with both hands, and buried his head in his knees, feeling that only in this way would his body feel a little warm, and make him feel that he was real.
