Cao Sui is still crying and pinching Zhuo Qiaoniang.

Leng Yi called in a low voice: "Qiao Niang! Qiao Niang, wake up! Qiao Niang! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang finally opened her eyes, looked at Leng Yi, and called weakly: "Official, ......"

Leng Yi was ecstatic, couldn't care about anything else, and hugged Zhuo Qiaoniang tightly in his arms: "Qiaoniang! ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang struggled for a moment, and then muttered, "Official, where are you?" My dear! Officials ......"

"Qiao Niang! Qiao Niang, I'm here! I'm right there with you! ”

"Where are you, official?!" Zhuo Qiaoniang still called vaguely, her voice indistinct.

Leng Yi's heart sank to the bottom. Only then did he know that Zhuo Qiaoniang did not wake up at all, she was muttering to herself under the high fever just now.

Leng Yi hugged Zhuo Qiaoniang tightly, and shouted urgently: "Qiaoniang, I'm here, and the official is here!" It's right there for you! Qiao Niang! Don't worry, we'll take you to the hospital now, don't worry, you'll be fine soon......! ”

Suddenly, Zhuo Qiaoniang coughed violently in Leng Yi's arms. The emaciated body bent into a pitiful little one.

Leng Yi hurriedly let go of her, kept patting her back, and comforted her softly.

"Blood!" Cao Sui screamed and pointed at Leng Yi's arm and wrist.

By the light of the lanterns under the eaves of the shops on the street, Leng Yi also saw a small pool of bright red blood on his arm!

He hurriedly helped Zhuo Qiaoniang up to take a look, only to see that Zhuo Qiaoniang had blood on the corner of her mouth, and her face was like gold paper. His eyes were closed, and his nose was flapping. Shortness of breath is like pulling bellows.

"Qiao Niang! What's wrong with you! Why is it all of a sudden? Leng Yi hugged her tightly.

Caosui cried and said, "Sister, my sister said to go to the study to find you, but she has been in the rain in the yard, and I don't know how long it has been drenched......"

Leng Yi immediately understood what happened after Zhuo Qiaoniang went out of the study. His heart was like a knife, full of remorse, he raised his hand, snapped, and slapped himself hard. Half of his face suddenly swollen.

Cao Sui was frightened and hugged Leng Yi's arm: "Brother-in-law! Don't do that! ”

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Leng Yi said loudly to the groom.

The carriage galloped like a thunderbolt through the streets, and finally came to a stop in front of a luxurious pharmacy.

Cao Sui hurriedly lifted the curtain, Leng Yi hugged Zhuo Qiaoniang, flew off the carriage, and took three steps and two steps up the steps of the pharmacy: "Open the door!" Doctor! Open the door! There is an emergency! Open the door! Leng Yi screamed.

It's only the third watch now, except for the occasional dog barking on the street, there is no other movement, Leng Yi's shout, through the cold street, in the rainy night far out.

The grass spikes also pounded on the door of the pharmacy, calling along.

In a moment, the small door in the corner opened, and a sleepy-eyed man came out and said, "This way! Come in here! ”

Leng Yi hurriedly hugged Zhuo Qiaoniang and rushed into the pharmacy.

There is only a small lantern on the counter in the pharmacy, which emits a dim light, and behind the counter, there are rows of medicine cabinets, exuding a faint fragrance of medicine.

Leng Yi hurriedly said, "What about the doctor?" My lady is sick! Ask the doctor to come! ”

This is the No. 1 medical clinic in Bazhou, and the guy has seen this situation a lot, so he yawned and said, "Don't worry, put people on the bed, and I'll call them." After that, he lazily walked to the door of the room in the back, patted him twice, and said, "Doctor Sun, someone is seeing a doctor!" ”

"It's coming!" The people in the room answered.

In a moment, the door creaked open, and a young man in his twenties and thirties walked out while dressing. didn't look at Leng Yi, just looked at Zhuo Qiaoniang on the small bed, and said, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Leng Yi said: "After my lady was drenched in the rain, her whole body was hot, she was talking nonsense, she was delirious, she coughed very badly, and she vomited blood just now." ”

"Vomiting blood?" Dr. Sun said while arranging his robe: "The family teacher has a cloud: those who vomit blood, or have great weakness, or drink too much, or eat too much, or drink bitter and hot, or worry and anger, all these can vomit blood!" ”

"Before this, she was sad, well, to be precise, disappointed, ah no, desperate."

"What is it that makes a young woman so desperate that she vomits blood?" Doctor Sun raised his eyes to look at Leng Yi curiously. At this look, he was taken aback and said, "You, are you the master of the general judgment?" ”

Leng Yi led the flood fight and presided over the distribution of relief, and it can be said that there is no one in the city who does not know him.

Leng Yi nodded and said, "It's me!" ”

Doctor Sun hurriedly bowed and said, "The general judgment is here, and the hall is full of brilliance. The villain's surname is Sun, his name is Fan, and he is extraordinary and extraordinary, of course, the villain's medical skills, but he does not dare to take on this extraordinary word......"

"Trouble the doctor to treat my lady first, okay?" Leng Yi interrupted him, "My lady is very sick. ”

"Yes, yes!" Doctor Sun made a series of tricks, not caring that the robe had not been tidied up, and sat down on the stool next to the small bed, and felt that it was inappropriate, so he judged the eldest master to stand and sit instead, what kind of system did he become? Busy and quickly stood up, and humbly said, "Master, please take a seat!" ”

"You sit down, it's important to diagnose the disease first!"

"Yes, yes!" Dr. Sun was very nervous, and quickly sat down again, looking at Zhuo Qiaoniang's face, but the room was dim and couldn't see clearly, so he hurriedly asked the guy next to him to bring a lantern to illuminate it, and after a careful look, he suddenly gasped and said in panic: "It's not good!" ”

"What's wrong?" Leng Yi said urgently.

Doctor Sun didn't answer, stood up, and said to Caosui: "Please open the lady's mouth, and the villain will look at the lady's tongue." ”

Cao Sui was busy trying to break Zhuo Qiaoniang's mouth, but Zhuo Qiaoniang closed tightly, moaning in pain, rolling on the bed, and coughing constantly. Leng Yi hurriedly held her down, and the grass spike finally broke her mouth a little. Doctor Sun tilted his head and looked at it for a while, his face even more grim. picked up Zhuo Qiaoniang's wrist to check the pulse again, and was even more shocked that her fingers were trembling.

Leng Yi's heart sank to the bottom all of a sudden. Hurriedly asked, "How's it going?" Doctor? Does it matter? ”

Dr. Sun touched a few sparse beards, looked panicked, and said apologetically: "Mrs. Zun's illness, I'm afraid it's not good!" ”

"What's wrong?"

"The family teacher once had a cloud: Anyone who sees blood, the body is hot and the pulse is difficult to treat, if the wheezing and coughing is urgent and the qi is reversed, the pulse is tight, and the person who cannot lie down will die if there is heat! - That's how Mrs. Zun is! ”

Leng Yi was anxious: "Then can you cure it?" ”

Doctor Sun shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "If the family teacher comes, maybe it's okay......"

"Your teacher, ah no, what about your master? Where is he? ”

"The tutor is old, so he doesn't see a doctor at the pharmacy at night, so he recuperates at home. If you need to, you can call it. ”

"Okay, let's go and please! Where is it? ”

"Dongcheng, it's a little far, so I have to take a car, but unfortunately, the handlebar of the donkey cart of our pharmacy happened to have something at home, so I took leave and went home."

"Then take my car! We went straight to him for treatment. No need to call, come and go troublesome. Go to the doctor! ”

"Let's go!"

Dr. Sun went out, glanced at the carriage, and said, "The carriage is too small, there are not enough of us to sit in the carport, and it is raining outside, so I will go and get a coat, and I will sit on the wheel." ”

The guy was busy entering the house, brought him a coat and came out, Dr. Sun wore it, and also wore a hat, jumped on the wheel, Leng Yi carried Zhuo Qiaoniang into the carriage, and Cao Sui also followed. Under the guidance of Dr. Sun, the carriage headed to Dongcheng.

Leng Yi shouted quickly, and the groom beat the horse and whipped it.

The carriage galloped, as fast as a whirlwind, but the speed was too fast, and the bluestone road was too slippery in the rain, so I heard a series of sounds when Chang Chang rushed forward, Leng Yi's eyes were fast, he hugged Zhuo Qiaoniang with one hand, and grabbed the carport with the other, so he didn't fall out. But the grass spike was caught off guard, and was thrown out by his habitual surname, showing that he fell on the horse's back, and then bounced down on the bluestone slab.

The carriage finally stopped, and the whole cart toppled forward. Leng Yi jumped out of the car with Zhuo Qiaoniang in his arms, and saw Cao Sui sitting on the bluestone slab, slowly climbing up. And Dr. Sun and the handlebar style were also turned upside down and fell on the bluestone road, at this moment, Dr. Sun was sitting on the ground, holding his feet and screaming.

Leng Yi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Did it hurt? ”

Cao Sui said: "I'm fine, it seems that my waist is twisted, and it hurts a little." ”

"Ouch, my feet seem to be twisted, they hurt!" Dr. Sun tried to stand up, limping and not daring to touch the ground with his injured foot.

The handlebar style was fine, and he stood there looking at the horse with a bitter face.

Only then did Leng Yi notice that the horse pulling the cart was lying on its side on the ground, one of its front legs was flipping weirdly, and asked the handlebar style urgently: "How is the horse?" ”

The handlebar pulled the reins hard, but the horse lay on the ground and couldn't get up. The handlebar deflated: "The horse's leg is broken, it can't be done." ”

Leng Yi looked around anxiously, trying to find a rental carriage, but on this quiet and rainy night, there was no carriage to come out to solicit business.

Doctor Sun sat on the side of the street, holding his injured sore feet, and said to Leng Yi: "Master, otherwise, you can go to find a tutor by yourself with Mrs. Zun!" It's not too far, a few streets away. ”

Leng Yi glanced down at Zhuo Qiaoniang in his arms, her whole body was hot, she could feel it through her clothes, and her breathing was even more rapid, and a little blood clot overflowed from the corner of her mouth. couldn't help but panic even more, took Dr. Sun's coat and wrapped Zhuo Qiaoniang, hugged it in his arms, and hurriedly asked Dr. Sun how to go to his master's house, let Caosui and Dr. Sun take their time behind, and then don't care about anything else, hugging Zhuo Qiaoniang, and running all the way forward.

Cao Sui saw that Leng Yi quickly disappeared, and was a little stunned, he couldn't imagine that the old man was a weak scholar, but he could run so fast.

Leng Yi hugged Zhuo Qiaoniang and ran out of a few streets in one breath according to the path said by Dr. Sun, and finally came to the door of Master Sun's house.

Leng Yi was holding Zhuo Qiaoniang in his hand, and he couldn't knock on the door, so he could only kick with his feet. Knock knock! Knock knock! shouted: "Doctor Sun! Help me! Open the door! My lady is very sick, open the door! ”

In a moment, an old porter opened the corner door. The probe came out and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"My lady is sick, very serious, I went to your medical center, and Dr. Sun of the medical hall said that he couldn't be cured, and I want to ask Master Dr. Sun to rescue him, please hurry up and ask Dr. Sun to come to the rescue!" ――I am Leng Yi, the prefect of the yamen! ”

In order to attract the attention of the other party, Leng Yi hurriedly came out to treat Zhuo Qiaoniang, and had no choice but to report his official title.

The porter was startled, and after a closer look, it was indeed the general judge who led the people in the city to fight the flood and provide disaster relief. Hurriedly let Leng Yi in, led him to the lobby, asked him to wait here, and then hurried to the back to ask Doctor Sun.

When Dr. Sun heard that it was the general judge who personally took his wife to the door to seek medical treatment, he hurriedly got up and came out, and his clothes were not dressed, so he was not polite, so he asked Leng Yi to put the patient on the soft collapse, briefly asked about the onset of the disease, and then raised his wrist to check the pulse and look at the tongue.

After Dr. Sun's examination, he put down Zhuo Qiaoniang's hand and sat there in a daze without speaking.

Leng Yi's heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "Doctor, how is my mother's illness?" ”

Old Doctor Sun finally sighed and said, "Old man, Mrs. Zun is physically weak, she has been suffering from tuberculosis for many years, her temper is greatly injured, her yang is weak and her qi is weak, and her qi does not take blood. This heart and spleen are on fire, and the root of the curse has been buried. ”

Leng Yi nodded: "My lady has not been in good health, and she is very tired when she works hard." ”

"Hmmm! This time, she suddenly entered the body with cold and damp external evils, the water was cold and the earth was wet, and the depression turned into fire, the two fires were fried together, burning the muscles and veins, and it was even more powerful, but at this time, Mrs. Zun somehow, the liver qi was extremely stagnant, causing the liver fire, and the three fires were fried together, and the blood rose with the fire, so that the blood vomited blood! ”

"Please prescribe medicine to the doctor!"

Old Doctor Sun shook his head and said, "It's not a secret, Mrs. Zun's blood stasis goes up to the chest, and it can't stagnation, this is where the anointment is, and it is beyond the reach of the decoction!" Coupled with the burning of the three fires, the heart has dried up, alas! Judging from the pulse of Mrs. Zun, the pulse is very broad. - "Su Wen" has a cloud: the pulse is beating, and the bloody body is hot! -- Mrs. Zun's illness is a proof of death! There is no cure! ”

Leng Yi's heart was as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, he stayed on the spot, and when he looked down, he really felt that Zhuo Qiaoniang's body was weak, and his breathing became intermittent. Flipping her eyes, her pupils began to dilate.

Leng Yi hurriedly said: "Doctor Sun, please, you must save her!" ”

Old Doctor Sun sighed again and said, "In front of the old man, how dare the old man not save him?" What's more, it's still the wife of the eldest lord. In fact, there is no way to cure Mrs. Zun's disease. - At least there's no way to get old. ”

Leng Yi seemed to see a glimmer of hope and said, "Then who can save her?" ”

Old Doctor Sun shook his head and said, "It's not that the old man is arrogant, and the old man can't cure the disease, but I'm afraid that other doctors can't do it." When he looked up and saw Leng Yi's face as if he was dead, he couldn't bear to break his thoughts in his heart, so he said, "Why don't you go to another medical hall to have a look?" Maybe the frog at the bottom of the old well is unknown. ”

"What's the closest hospital to here?"

"It's useless to go to other general medical centers, and there are no doctors sitting in the hall for many nights. There are only three night-time doctors in the city, including us. I'm telling you, go try your luck. With that, he said the names and addresses of the other two. At the end, he sighed again: "Life and death are fate, if these two families are not settled, then, Mrs. Zun's illness, I am afraid that I will not be able to rush to other places to seek medical treatment, so alas! The eldest lord can only mourn. ”
