At that moment, Fennel followed her mother to the kitchen to cook.

Seeing her mother scoop a bowl of black noodles out of the rice bowl, Fennel's eyes lit up and she swallowed quietly. Immediately seeing that her mother began to add water and noodles like this, Fennel was even more taken aback, and said in a low voice: "Mother, you can't eat a few meals of flour just like this, is there no wild vegetables at home?" I still have some of them, which were sent by Hou Pu and their yamen, which ones shall I give you? ”

"No!" Liang originally wanted to tell Fennel that Zuo Gui had decided not to add wild vegetables to the rice noodles in the future, but once this was said, it would be unclear for a while, there were people from the Qu family outside the hall, and it would be leaked out of the news, she was a very careful person, and decided to talk about it when she brought the food to them in the future, so she just smiled and shook her head: "No need to take it, there are still wild vegetables at home." ”

"Then why not add wild vegetables?"

"Well...... your father said, you have to cook a delicious meal when you come, and you can't eat wild vegetables all the time. Don't worry, there is enough food at home. Your dad knows it. ”

Fennel sighed and nodded gratefully: "That's it, then we're blessed." ”

There is only one dish, and that is cabbage soup. Liang felt that the pickles could be put anyway, so he kept them and didn't eat them for now. Eat the cabbage in the cellar first.

After making the meal, the Liang family beckoned the Qu family to eat together, but the Qu family politely refused and asked Aunt Long to go back to do it, and the family took turns to go back to eat. Liang is not reluctant.

Miao Peilan was a little strange, the last time she sold firewood in Washi, it was snowing, and it was freezing cold, Zuo Shaoyang took two black flour buns with white skin from Gasan for her to eat. Although there is less mulberry and white skin in the black bread, much less than theirs, but in the end, wild vegetables are still added, but this meal did not add any wild vegetables, just black bread, and I am somewhat worried that I will not eat enough to eat like this, but it is not easy to ask.

After eating, Miao Peilan had to pay, Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile: "It's better for you to leave some money for self-defense now, anyway, when spring comes, you have to help me open up the wasteland and grow medicinal materials, and I said that I would pay two cents a day, including food and housing." If you have to pay, then that's it, you eat and live in our pharmacy, I don't charge money, after the beginning of spring, you help me clear the wasteland, I don't pay, one day at a time. What do you think? ”

Miao Peilan said: "That's not good, our family of six is only worth two cents, we are too cheap." It's almost the same to live for one day and open up the wasteland for two days. ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "Your four younger siblings are still young, and the amount of food is not as good as a Chengren, how much can you eat, don't worry about me." Okay? ”

Miao Peilan shook her head: "Either it will take two days, or I will pay for it." ”

Zuo Shaoyang couldn't help it, spread his hands, and said: "Otherwise, if you live in our pharmacy, you can help me do things, and you can also pay part of the food money when you do things, this is always okay, right?" ”

Miao Peilan looked at him: "What are you doing?" ”

"There are a lot of things to do, help me clean the herbs, take care of the patients, do laundry and cook, sweep the floor or something, you can rest assured, you will definitely not be idle, and you will not be relaxed. Hey hey"

Miao Peilan smiled: "Okay, if you really have something to do, you can do it." He looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zuo, there are no wild vegetables in the bun, is this enough to eat?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled a little proudly: "Don't worry, you can eat with your belly open, and you will definitely not be able to eat ours." Hey hey"

Miao Peilan's slightly dark pretty face flew two red clouds, and she glanced at him shyly: "I'm sorry, my amount of food is too big......"

Zuo Shaoyang saw that she had misunderstood, and said with a smile: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I mean that my family's food is enough for us to eat together." Don't worry, you're welcome. ”

Miao Peilan raised her eyes slightly to look at him, her long eyelashes blinked, as if she was looking at the sincerity in his words.

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "I'm telling the truth, no exaggeration, anyway, if you have less than three buns per meal in the future, I won't agree!" Do you hear that? ”

Miao Peilan's face turned even redder, nodding her head, shaking her head, and she could only smile shyly. Turned around and walked away.

Liang told Zuo Shaoyang that the Taoist who ordered cinnabar last time had just brought two little Taoist boys, took away the concocted cinnabar, and paid the rest of the money, and said that the concocted cinnabar was very satisfied, and after using it, he would order it again. The grain has been sent to the medicinal herb wholesaler Dong Shopkeeper, and last time it was concocted by the cinnabar of the Dong Shopkeeper on credit.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled reluctantly, but he didn't say anything.

Zuo Shaoyang gave Mrs. Qu another follow-up examination, but the old man still showed no signs of improvement, but there was no sign of further deterioration, so he could only wait and see.

Seeing that the condition did not deteriorate further, this had already made the old man of the Qu family a little more relaxed, and after the old lady Qu, Mrs. Qu, Aunt Long and Bai Zhihan discussed, it was estimated that the old man would not get better for a day or two, and he had to be prepared to accompany him for a long time, so he decided to change shifts to guard, and the two of them were on duty for one night, one person each in the first half of the night and one in the second half of the night. This night was first guarded by Bai Zhihan and Aunt Long. Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Qu went back to rest. If the old man is critically ill, report it immediately.

After discussing it, they brought a small bed from the house, rested it in the corner, and brought a futon.

After getting up, Fennel said goodbye and went back, everyone slept separately, Miao Peilan slept in the kitchen with her mother and two younger sisters, and there was extra straw at home, just bring it to the bed, and they took it with them when they fled, and they could sleep when they were laid. Miao Peilan's two younger brothers worked on the floor in the concocted house.

After the curfew began, Zuo Shaoyang opened the door of the pharmacy and looked out, only to see the soldiers on the side of the street sleeping on the side of the street with a thin quilt. I thought that these Tang troops were really strict in military discipline, and they had the feeling that the People's Liberation Army entered Shanghai during the Liberation War, and they did not disturb the people, and they did not commit any crimes in the autumn. No wonder the Tang Army was so strong in combat. However, the main body of the rebel army turned out to be the Tang Army, and it was also a brave division that had experienced a hundred battles, especially the Tang Army sent to conquer the rebels, most of them were obviously old, weak, sick and disabled.

Zuo Shaoyang sighed secretly in his heart, closed the door, and inspected the old lady Qu's condition again, before going back to the room to sleep.

So much had happened on this day, and he didn't sleep soundly.

In a daze, I heard Aunt Long knocking on the door gently: "Xiao Langzhong, please get up and take a look, our master is not very good." With a creak, he pushed open the door of the concoction room, and the dim light in the lobby shone in. In order to facilitate the problem at night, the people of the Qu family called him, so the door of the concocted room was not bolted, and the oil lamp in the lobby was not extinguished.

Zuo Shaoyang was lying in a kimono, woke up when he heard it, got up, went down the stairs, tiptoed around the location of the bunk where Miao Peilan's two younger brothers slept, and came to the door, only to see Bai Zhihan sitting next to the old lady Qu's bed, holding a handkerchief in his hand, wiping it from the old lady's mouth. Busy asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Aunt Long said: "The old man vomited, about a stick of incense before, spit once, the same earth-colored thing, just vomited again, it is still earth-colored, more than last time, Miss is worried, so let me call you to take a look." ”

Bai Zhihan stood up and stepped aside, but did not speak.

Zuo Shaoyang sat down on the stool, and found that Old Lady Qu closed his eyes tightly, his lips were open, and he closed and opened his hands with his hands, so his heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "Old Lady Qu, can you hear me?" When he heard it, he opened his eyes and looked at me. ”

Old Lady Qu only let out a few ho-ho sounds in her throat, and then there was no other reaction. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly opened the old lady Qu's eyes to observe, and found that the left side of the pupil was larger than the right side, the forehead was wet and bright, and when he reached out and touched it, his hands were full of sweat. My heart sank even more. I took my hand to diagnose the pulse, and found that the pulse became weak, and the sinking seemed to be nothing. Pinching the cheeks and barely looking at the tongue, the tongue is red, and the tongue coating is slightly yellowish-black. Pinched the left limb, nothing happened, and the pain disappeared.

When Zuo Shaoyang was examining, the door of his father's Zuo Gui's room also opened, and Zuo Gui walked over while sorting out his robe, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang got up and gave up his seat: "The situation is very bad, the patient's eyes are closed, his mouth is open, enuresis, and there are three of the five uniques." Sweating, pulse deficiency and rootlessness. Has vomited twice before. The vomit is earthy-colored. ”

Zuo Gui's face became grim, he sat down and checked it out, touched his pulse and tongue, stroked his beard and frowned: "Yang Qi has the appearance of transcending outside, and righteous Qi is in danger of escaping." What's going on? ”

Zuo Shaoyang said in a deep voice: "Opening the mouth is a sign of heart despair, sweat is the liquid of the heart, and if the heart is not solid, the sweat leaks." The old man's stroke has changed from being closed to being out of the certificate to being completely out of the certificate! You can't suppress the liver and latent yang anymore, clear the heat and extinguish the wind, otherwise the yang energy will die out very quickly! ”

Although Bai Zhihan and Aunt Long couldn't understand what Zuo Shaoyang said, they could also hear that they were in critical condition, and their faces changed greatly, Bai Zhihan said to Aunt Long: "Quick! Go wake up the old lady and the lady! Hurry."

Aunt Long hurriedly agreed, hurriedly opened the door and left.

Zuo Gui asked Zuo Shaoyang: "What should I do now?" ”

"Strengthen the heart, replenish qi and stop bleeding!"

"Good! Get drugged! ”

In order not to affect the rest of Miao Peilan's mother and daughter, Zuo Shaoyang has already transferred the stove and firewood used for decoction to the lobby. Immediately, the decoction began to boil.

Old Mrs. Qu and Mrs. Qu came in a panic, and cried when they entered the door, Zuo Shaoyang sighed and said, "It's not time to cry yet." I'm boiling medicine. Calm down! ”

The two hurriedly restrained their crying, but the cry had already woken up Miao Peilan and the others, and after a while, Miao Peilan tidied up the dress and said, "What's wrong?" Want to help? ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "No need, you go back to sleep." ”

"Oh." Miao Peilan agreed, but did not go back, sitting by the fire of the decoction, fanning the fire with a fan. He whispered to Mrs. Qu: "Don't worry, old lady, Brother Zuo's medical skills are very good, Aunt Li, who went back to our village last time, also had a stroke, and she was sicker than your master, so she couldn't do it, and Brother Zuo cured her, and now she can get out of bed and walk around."

Although the Qu family already knew the news, but after hearing it at the moment, there was still more hope, and the old lady Qu nodded again and again with tears in her eyes.
