Chapter 19: Falling ill
Xu Liang woke up slowly, with a headache, and what caught his eye was the pink gauze tent above his head, and a faint fragrance permeated the air, Xu Liang was stunned for a while, and then remembered that this was the fairy pavilion of the building.
I am in the gentle country, but my heart is bitter. What if it's even a night of wandering? Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, I have to pack up, and I left the center of a province in Jiangxi sadly, and returned to Wan'an County, if nothing else, I will always be a person, and I will do nothing. What the? Can you still be a jinshi? Joke!
No, I'm not reconciled! I am not willing to die! Xu Liang was shouting in his heart. He jumped out of bed, opened the door, and when he saw that there was no one left or right, he hurried downstairs. When I was about to go to the bottom of the building, I saw that Yahuan went upstairs with a fruit plate last night, and when I saw Xu Liang, I was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "Xu Gongzi, please stay!" ”
"What?" Xu Liang said.
"Is Gongzi Xu leaving? My young lady has something to go out, don't you wait for my young lady to come back? ”
Xu Liang sneered and said: "My son has something important to do, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will leave!" As soon as he said that, he raised his feet and went out.
"Hey!" The girl shouted again: "Xu Gongzi is slow, my young lady still wants to ask Xu Gongzi for something......"
Xu Liang slapped his forehead and secretly said that he was really dizzy, he had eaten all the food, and he was going to leave without even paying the money for the night! He hurriedly took out a silver ticket from his bosom, did not count it, and stuffed it into the hand of the girl, and then did not stop any longer, and hurried through the gravel path.
The girl took Xu Liang's stack of things, not thinking that this was the lyrics that Miss wanted, and couldn't help crying and laughing after seeing that it was a bunch of small denomination silver tickets, Yu called Xu Liang again, but Xu Liang's figure was gone.
Xu Liang walked straight out of Xinghua Building, and saw that Tietou had already shrunk his neck and stayed on the side of the street. Xu Liang nodded slightly, greeted Tietou and went back to the inn.
After walking for a while, Xu Liang turned around and asked the iron head who was behind strangely: "Ah Tie, why are you walking so slowly?" ”
The iron head replied with a red face, and then stepped up his steps and chased after him.
Xu Liang saw that his walking posture was very different, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Hey, I said where are you walking or sweeping the street, what's the matter with your right leg, what are you doing sweeping the ground?" ”
Tietou's face turned even redder, he stepped forward and whispered for a long time, whispered to Xu Liang's ear and said: "Young master, the sisters of Xinghualou are too enthusiastic, I, I'm a little swollen underneath, and it hurt......s to walk fast."
Xu Liang was dumbfounded, he glanced at the iron head strangely, and asked, "You rammer, did you toss people last night?" ”
The iron head shook his head again and again when he heard this, "What, how can there be!" Those three sisters are torturing me......"
Three? Three? Xu Liang was stunned again, and turned his head speechlessly to ignore him.
The iron head came up again and said awkwardly: "Young master, this woman's taste is really good. How was the young master doing last night? ”
Xu Liang listened and thought hard, but his mind was blank, and he couldn't help but say, "Well, it's okay." ”
At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and a few early shops put up shelves and started to do business. Xu Liang picked up a clean shop, ordered a bowl of wontons to eat with Tietou, and returned to the inn.
When the innkeeper saw Xu Liang, he was still quite enthusiastic. personally brought hot water and hot tea to Xu Liang.
Xu Liang had already thought about it on the way back, he must not just go back to Wan'an County empty-handed, at least he had to fight before leaving. Immediately spread out the paper, took out the spirit of writing the college entrance examination essay in his previous life, and began to write a letter to Huang Weizhong.
While thinking about how to write in order to persuade Huang Weizhong to help him, he bit the pen and organized sentences. Imperceptibly, sweat began to rise on his head, Xu Liang thought it was hot, and he didn't take it seriously when he wiped it dry, and when the letter was about to end, Xu Liang only felt that his eyes were dark, so he couldn't support it anymore and fell on the table.
But he said that Tietou followed Xu Liang back to the inn, returned to his room and fell asleep, and slept until dusk before waking up hungry. After the iron head got up, he came to Xu Liang's room, and when he entered the door, he saw Xu Liang lying on the desk, and the ink of a half-written letter had dried dry. Tietou thought that Xu Liang was asleep, but he didn't care, and retreated gently, he went out to find the innkeeper and asked for two meals, and brought them to Xu Liang. When he entered the room again, he saw that Xu Liang was still lying on his stomach in his original position, and secretly laughed in his heart that the young master must have been tired last night. Laughing and waking up Xu Liang, he didn't even react to shaking Xu Liang three or four times, Tietou felt that something was wrong, reached out and sniffed, hot like steam, and then touched Xu Liang's forehead, it was so hot that it scared Tietou a lot, he screamed and rushed out to find the innkeeper for help.
The innkeeper was also enthusiastic, and came forward to help Tietou invite a famous doctor on the street of Xinghua Village. After some diagnosis and treatment, tossing until midnight, Xu Liang retreated, but the person did not wake up. Although the iron-headed man is clumsy, he is extremely loyal, seeing the young master sick like this, he can't help but feel guilty and blame himself, and he doesn't even go back to his room at the moment, and carefully guards the unconscious Xu Liang, not leaving an inch.
There is a way that the house is broken and it rains overnight, and the boat leaks and encounters a head wind. After Xu Jiang, Yang Lin and others left, Xu Liang sent back money to Huang Weizhong, and the silver left in his hands was more than two hundred taels. So up to now, all the belongings of the two of them are iron-headed, and there are still thirty or forty taels of silver left in the bag.
Now that Xu Liang is sick, Tietou is very worried, and he instructs the doctor to use the best and most expensive medicines. The end result was that by the next day, the iron head was all over the body, and there were only a dozen copper plates left.
Accompanied by apologies to send the doctor with precious medicinal materials away, and gave the innkeeper two days of credit, Tietou returned to Xu Liang's bedside, and couldn't help but shed tears when he saw Xu Liang.
"Master, you're waking up soon...... Woo......"
In the afternoon, although Xu Liang's fever had subsided a lot, he never woke up. This made the innkeeper's face a little cold. Tietou laughed and said that he brought back a plate of steamed buns.
Tietou was sitting in front of Xu Liang's bed and was nibbling on steamed buns with hot water, when a crisp female voice sounded by the door: "Excuse me, is this Xu Gongzi's room?" ”
Tietou swallowed the steamed bun, and turned around to see a girl in green standing outside the door. He hesitated: "Uh, this is my young master's room, what are you looking for my young master?" ”
When the girl heard this, her face was happy, and she was not afraid of life at the moment, so she raised her feet and walked in, and said as she spoke: "You are Xu Gongzi's scholar, my name is Lu'er, and I am the personal maid of Xinghualou Xian'er, I came to invite Xu Gongzi...... Ah, what's wrong with Gongzi Xu? ”
Tietou wiped away his tears and said, "Don't you see, my young master, he fell ill as soon as he came back from your broken apricot blossom building, and he hasn't woken up from a coma yet!" ”
Lu'er exclaimed: "How can this be, but have you asked the doctor to see it?" "I thought to myself, could it be that there was really too much ** scattered that night?
Tietou said sullenly: "Please, after the doctor read it, the young master's fever has subsided, but he still doesn't wake up." ”
Hearing this, Lu'er reached out and touched Xu Liang's forehead, feeling that it was indeed not very hot. was a little relieved, and when he turned around, he saw a plate of steamed buns on the table, and the top one had been gnawed off by more than half of it, and he couldn't help but reproach Tietou and said, "You, you just give your young master these things to eat?" What is it for the sick? ”
When Tietou heard this, his nose was pantothenic, and he puffed out his eyes and choked: "I also want to get some good ones for the young master, but I only have a dozen cents on me, what can I do?" ”
Lu'er was greatly surprised when she heard this, thinking of the heroic energy when Xu Liang stuffed himself with money when he left Yixian Pavilion the day before yesterday, she never expected that the situation would be so difficult in the blink of an eye. She didn't have time to think about it for a while, took out a stack of small silver tickets, which were the ones Xu Liangsai gave her, handed them to Tietou, and said, "You take these money, take good care of your young master, and I'll go back and report to Miss." ”
The iron head shirked and said, "How can I ask for your money?" ”
Lu'er didn't look back, and shouted: "That's Xu Gongzi's money!" ”
Xu Liang woke up early in the morning of the third day. Seeing that Xu Liang was awake, Tietou didn't say a word, pounced on a handful of snot and tears, and sobbed and told what had happened in the past three days.
Xu Liang listened, he was moved for a while, and he was at a loss for a while, and he was moved by the fact that Tietou was loyal to him, and he was at a loss because he didn't understand that Lou Xian'er of Xinghualou didn't want his own overnight money, but he still wanted to take what he wanted.
But if you want to solve this qiē, you have to wait until you are good at it. At that moment, Xu Liang Haosheng comforted Tie Tou, recuperated quietly, and when he stayed on the fourth day, he felt almost better, so he got out of bed and finished writing the unfinished letter, handed it to Tie Tou, and asked him to put it in a tea box and send it to Huang Weizhong.
The iron head was not sent, shaking his head very resolutely, he cried: "Young master, you are like that, and you still have to send money to others...... Do you know, if we don't send any money, we won't even be able to go back to Wan'an......"
Xu Liang couldn't cry or laugh, he said, "Who said that the money was also sent?" This time, only tea will be delivered. Besides, we don't have a hundred taels of silver in all our belongings now, even if we want to give it away, we can't give it away! ”
After sending the iron head out, Xu Liang went to Xinghualou again, he wanted to ask Lou Xian'er about it.
Came to the front of the Xinghua Building, couldn't help but be surprised, only to see the Xinghua Building that was still fluttering with a colorful curtain four days ago, but at the moment it looks like it was robbed, the original color curtain hanging down from the roof of the building was cut off one by one, thrown everywhere, the gilded "Xinghua Building" plaque was also broken into three pieces, lying quietly on the street, there were still a few big footprints left on it, to enter the building, only to see that the railing on the second floor was broken several sections, and most of the square table under the pillar was smashed and thrown into the patio.
There were no pilgrims, seven or eight kiln sisters sobbed and packed up their small packages, and they were surrounding the head of Xinghualou to say goodbye.
Xu Liang waited for the kiln sisters to leave, walked to the stunned Huang's mother, and asked, "Old mother, what's going on here, it's the way it is?" ”
Mother Huang heard the question, and when she came back to her senses, she let out an earth-shattering howl at Xu Liang: "Robbers, bandits, those who have suffered a thousand knives are broken!" Woo...... What is the hard work of half my life...... Woo...... Lou Xian'er, a broom star, ......"
