Bai Zhihan looked at the rain outside the curtain, chanting softly, and her voice was as graceful as smoke:

The raindrops are empty, and they have no intention of changing the sunset.

The well flowers are gone, and half of them are in the silver bed.

Bai Zhihan leaned on Zuo Shaoyang's arms, and after reading his poem softly, he was silent again.

In the rain, there was only the sound of the squeaking and twisting of the axles of the ox wheels.

Zuo Shaoyang sighed leisurely: "You must have been very lonely last year to write such a poem." ”

"Well...... I was in the back garden every day, watching the spring flowers bloom and thanking again, watching the summer flowers bloom and thanking me, the autumn wind came, and the leaves on the trees were yellow one by one, falling all over the yard, and the petals of the water spirit withered, and one by one fell in the grass and in the cracks of the stones. In the huge garden, I was alone, leaning in front of the window, just like now, watching the autumn wind and autumn rain, playing the banana and sycamore by the pond, ticking, going down, holding a red lacquered oil paper umbrella, strolling on the stone path, watching the rain knock down the flowers, watching the dead leaves and falling red all over the pond. I came back and wrote this poem. ”

"It's so well written, it makes people want to cry."

"Yes, I wrote this poem, and I was sad for a long time hiding under the covers."

Zuo Shaoyang wanted to break this sad atmosphere, so he deliberately smiled: "I can't see it, you are still so sentimental." ”

Bai Zhihan also smiled: "You always think I'm indifferent and ruthless, right?" ”

"Almost." Zuo Shaoyang replied honestly, "At that time, I thought you were like a piece of ice, a piece of ice that had no feelings and could only scold people, and later, when I saw that you would rather sell yourself as a slave for the sake of your grandfather's illness, I realized that you were actually the most affectionate one." ”

Bai Zhihan was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be blessed to be good with you!" ”

"What kind of blessing do you want to be good with me, I'm just an ordinary little man."

"You're not ordinary!" Bai Zhihan tilted his head and looked at him: "Your medical skills are so good, and your writing is so good, and you write such good poems......"

"I didn't write those poems, I wrote them by my friends."

"Really? Then when will you introduce me to me, and I can get acquainted with this great poet who has read more than 10,000 books! Hee-hee"

Zuo Shaoyang said: "This, he is not easy to see." ”

"Easy, he's putting his arms around me!" Bai Zhihan smiled playfully, and couldn't help but raise her head and kiss his face.

This is the first time Bai Zhihan has taken the initiative to kiss herself, Zuo Shaoyang happily kissed her back, and both of them were full of tenderness.

Along the way, from morning to evening, the rain stopped and stopped, and stopped and fell. The two are sometimes intimate, sometimes telling stories, reciting a few poems, but also at ease.

Staying in the town at night, the two snuggled under the lamp and whispered, and slept late at night. Zuo Shaoyang didn't dare to let the wonderful and peerless Bai Zhihan share the bed with him, for fear that he would not be able to control it, hurt Bai Zhihan's reserve of chastity, and leave a lifetime of regrets.

In this way, on the afternoon of the fifth day, the ox cart finally arrived at Longzhou Mansion.

Ten miles of long pavilion, the shopkeeper of the Longzhou branch of Hengchang Pharmaceutical Store and a few guys have been waiting for the banquet, among which some guys have been in the general number, recognize Zuo Shaoyang, and get off the car, the semicolon shopkeeper is also surnamed Zhu, is the cousin of the medicine cabinet, nodded and was very polite, and toasted Zuo Shaoyang again and again: "Young Master Zuo, the old shopkeeper said in the letter, you are the life-saving benefactor of the old shopkeeper's family, we must take care of you, you can rest assured, in Longzhou, our Hengchang pharmacy branch is still a little related, I have inquired everywhere, but anyone who has a stroke, There are also those who have not healed their fractures, and they are all looking forward to you coming so that they can see you. ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked at the table full of exquisite wine and food, and sighed: "Alas, this table of dishes, if it was in Hezhou City a month ago, I am afraid that how many people's lives can be saved!" ”

Zhu shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "Young Master Zuo, you have suffered hardships." ”

"Enduring hardship is a trivial matter, many people don't even have the blessing of enduring hardship, and they starve to death...... Zuo Shaoyang picked up the wine glass and slowly poured it outside the table: "This glass of wine can be regarded as a tribute to them." ”

Bai Zhihan, the shopkeeper Zhu, the tent of the medicine store and a few guys slowly poured the wine in the cup on the ground.

"I won't eat alcohol today, I will go into the city after eating some food, see a doctor first, and then drink when I am done. Otherwise, drinking alcohol will affect the doctor's treatment. ”

Zhu shopkeeper hurriedly said with a smile: "Okay, Young Master Zuo really treats patients as relatives and does his best." ”

"The heart of the healer's parents should be."

Zuo Shaoyang and the others all hurriedly ate some food, and then set off into the city in an ox cart, wishing the shopkeeper to lead the tent and the men to follow in a carriage.

Although Longzhou City is also a state city, it is much smaller than Hezhou, and the towers are more rudimentary and low, and some of the battlements of the city walls have collapsed and have not been repaired. The gates of the city were cracked, and the people who came in and out carried their carts with their burdens, and they were all in a hurry. Two soldiers sat on a stool under the gatehouse with their spears in their arms, watching the two dogs turn their tails on the edge of the city gate, and several children laughed and smashed them with dirt, and the more they smashed them, the more inseparable they became, and they kept screaming.

Bai Zhihan only glanced at it and turned his head shyly, Zuo Shaoyang smiled at her with bad intentions, Bai Zhihan was embarrassed and embarrassed, and gave him a blank look.

The streets of Longzhou City are narrower than those in Hezhou, and it is difficult to get a horse-drawn carriage to come and make a mistake, because there are too many stalls on the street, and there are bamboo poles hanging from the windows facing the street, such as bed sheets, mosquito nets, and clothes of all sizes. On the corner of the street and on the side of the road, I often see a ragged begging person called Hanako.

All kinds of shops in front of me are open, there are food stalls, small restaurants, inns, fruit stalls, pastry shops, etc., all kinds of shouts and cheers one after another. This is a voice that has not been heard for a long time, and after more than two months of famine, it feels very intimate to hear these cries of selling, as if I have climbed from hell to heaven again.

Even the well-informed Bai Zhihan lifted the curtain of the car and looked out in a novel way. Zuo Shaoyang sighed: "When there is a famine, being a beggar here is better than being a rich man in Hezhou." ”

"yes." Bai Zhihan didn't look back, looking at the shops, "Shopkeeper Yu, Master Qiao, and the medicine cabinet, they are all rich people, and this famine almost starved the whole family to death." ”

"I really fulfilled the saying: 'There is food in your hands, and there is no panic in your heart'! Now our family has more than 100 acres of land, and they are all rented out, so we don't have to worry about food after a year's food. Speaking of this, her thoughts drifted to Miao Peilan again, I don't know how she is now, planting twenty acres of land by herself is enough for her to work hard.

After entering the city, the shopkeeper Zhu suggested that he should go to the best inn in Hezhou to stay first, Zuo Shaoyang refused, and he asked the shopkeeper Zhu to take him directly to the house of the outsider who broke his hand and could not participate in the imperial examination.

Zhu shopkeeper had to listen to him, and the group came directly to the old man's house.

This old man's surname is Tian, and he had already heard that the invited Lang Zhong was very young, but after seeing Zuo Shaoyang, he was still a little unexpected, and his eyes showed a disappointment that he couldn't hide.

Zuo Shaoyang saw a lot of this kind of look, and he didn't care, nor was he polite, so he directly asked Tian Yuanwai to lead him to the courtyard where the young master of the Tian family lived.

Young Master Tian's study is full of calligraphy and paintings, the calligraphy is strong and upright, and the painting is magnificent, which is indeed extraordinary, but when I see me, I can't help but be very disappointed.

This young master Tian is almost twenty years old, but he is very short, not yet to Zuo Shaoyang's shoulders, especially a pair of eyes red, eye bubbles are a little swollen, I don't know I thought he was sad and crying, I asked to know, it turned out that after I couldn't hold a pen in my hand, I couldn't get fame, if I practiced writing with my left hand from scratch, I don't know that the year of the monkey and the month of Ma Yue can reach the current level, thinking that what I have learned in my life will be in vain and give up on myself, and I will borrow wine to drown my sorrows, so my eyes are swollen.

I heard that I invited a Lang Zhong, this Young Master Tian has seen many Lang Zhong, almost all of them are old men, none of them are good, the right hand still can't be lifted or moved, can't pick up the pen to write, and now it's a little Lang Zhong who is invited, Young Master Tian entered the house and snorted with a cold face, turned around and left.

Tian Yuan said angrily: "Evil obstacles! What to do? Don't come back yet? ”

"See what?" Young Master Tian stood still, didn't look back, and hissed: "Find a little Langzhong who hasn't graduated from the school yet?" Cheating money, right? Dad, don't toss me, okay! With that, he lowered his head and rushed out.

"Tian Gongzi, wait a minute!" Zuo Shaoyang said loudly, "Zuo has something to say!" It's a guest from afar, and Childe doesn't even listen to me, a guest, and leaves, it doesn't seem to be a scholar's way of hospitality, right? ”

Young Master Tian stopped, slowly turned around, stared at Zuo Shaoyang, but did not speak.

Zuo Shaoyang arched his hand and said: "Before treating your illness, I had given no less than 20 people bone surgery and treated injuries, most of which were officers and soldiers stationed in Hezhou. Childe hasn't heard of it? ”

A hint of surprise appeared on Young Master Tian's face, and he looked Zuo Shaoyang up and down: "'Model of supporting the army', is that you?" ”

"Exactly. Above the lobby of my family's Guizhi Hall, there is also a plaque inscribed by the general himself. ”

The shopkeeper who accompanied him nodded hurriedly: "That's right!" Zuo Gongzi is the 'model of supporting the army' canonized by the general. Countless wounded soldiers were treated under his hands! I heard that in order to treat the wounded soldiers, I almost lost my life! ”

Young Master Tian's face was even more gentle, but his words were still cold: "Will you pick up your bones?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang pretended to be arrogant, and said lightly with his hands behind his back: "Before this, I treated the injuries of two people, and it can be said that the injuries of these two people are much more serious than yours." One is the shopkeeper Yu of the jade shop in Hezhou, who was punished by the official army as a street cane because of his private storage of grain, and his legs were broken, and the knees of both feet were broken. One leg was too badly broken for me to heal and was already crippled, and the other, though also badly fractured. Another person with a serious fracture I treated was Qiao Qiao'er, the daughter of Master Qiao, who jumped down from the stairs and broke her thigh because she was saving food. The bones are poked out, and the injuries of these two people are only worse than yours, right? ”

Young Master Tian gasped slightly when he heard this, and nodded slowly: "That's right, it's heavier than mine." Mine just broke my elbow and didn't poke it out. ”
