Chapter 80: Life and Death
In the study, Doctor Hu first covered his mouth and nose and carefully touched the wound with his hands, feeling the heat, and then wiped Qin Daochuan's upper body twice with spirits, and then roasted the tip of the knife with a faint blue light on the fire lit with wine for a long time, and after the blade cooled down a little, he said: "I started." ”
The hearts of the other three suddenly tightened, Xu Wutong felt that the tip of his pen trembled, and Qin Nan and Qin Xi inside the door and Qin Dong and Qin Bei who were listening to the movement outside the door couldn't help but clench the scabbard in their hands.
Xu Wutong listened to the words of the three doctors, kept recording the pen, and heard Doctor Hu say: "The inside is really torn, red and swollen, but fortunately it has not suppurated, hurry up and sprinkle the gold medicine... ”
Although he was on anesthetic, Qin Daochuan's face was still in a cold sweat, and the imperial doctor said: "The pulse is too fast, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand it, you two try to be as fast as possible." ”
Neither of them answered, Doctor Hu turned around and took out the needle and thread soaked in the spirits, and began to re-stitch Qin Daochuan's wounds, only to hear the military doctor of the guard battalion say halfway: "The stitches are finer, the general is dignified, and such an ugly scar on his chest looks like something." ”
Doctor Hu paused, did not speak, the stitches were much more delicate than before, until the stitching was completed, Doctor Hu turned around and threw the needle and thread in the spirits, and then said: "It's already very fine, and the embroidery is just like that, you see my knife edge, it's a fraction different from the previous wound." ”
Qin Nan was also sincere, and translated the first sentence he heard intact.
The imperial doctor continued to probe the pulse for a while, then turned his head and said to Xu Wutong: "Seventh brother, the pulse is finally smooth, just now it was fast, it was slow, and even I broke out in a cold sweat." ”
The military doctor of the guard battalion said, "Now it depends on how tonight goes." ”
Doctor Hu said: "The fever that I had for a few nights last time went away, and I'm afraid it will be the same this time, prepare the medicine in advance, and feed it when the time comes, apply it externally, wipe it when it should be wiped, and leave a few more people!" ”
After Xu Wutong finished writing the last word, he said to Qin Xi: "Don't smoke it now, if you smoke it again, your generals will wake up." ”
The other three doctors reacted and said together: "It's going out, it's going to be out!" ”
Qin Xi went out with smoking herbs, but they were still smoking in the corridor, Qin Dong and they didn't know if this was right, but they had nowhere to vent their worries about the general, so they left it to him.
Qin Daochuan slept for a whole day and a night, and didn't open his eyes until the evening of the next day, and just wanted to turn his head, he was held down and said: "Don't move, I wanted you to lie down for two more days, but Dr. Xu said that using too much anesthetic will hurt your brain, and if it hurts, you must endure it, I don't want to sew it anymore, I have already sewed it twice." ”
Qin Daochuan looked at Doctor Hu in front of him, and said with difficulty: "I'm tired." ”
Xu Wutong's head poked out on the side, looked at Qin Daochuan's expression, and said, "When you wake up, drink the medicine first, and eat something later." ”
Doctor Hu also nodded.
Qin Daochuan said to him again: "It's hard work." ”
Xu Wutong waved his hand and left the bedside.
Qin Daochuan endured the burning pain of the wound, drank the medicine, ate a little gruel, and found an opportunity to say: "Qin Xi, go and report safety, lest grandmother and - they are worried." ”
The old lady in Xuanwei Hall listened to the letter, worshiped the portrait of Grandpa Guo on the wall, and recited words in her mouth: "Grandpa Guo, thanks to your blessing, Chuan'er is safe, and Guogong's Mansion is safe." ”
Xianya, who was kneeling beside her, silently followed the old lady and worshipped.
He Shiqing from the Zuo Courtyard got the letter, looked at the dark incense and asked, "Qin Xi really said this to you?" ”
Dark Xiang nodded and said, "Miss, you can finally sleep peacefully today." ”
He Shiqing looked at the sky outside the window and said, "As long as Chuanlang is okay, I can do whatever you want." ”
Dark incense said: "If the general knows your heart, he will definitely be grateful." ”
The news from the right courtyard was brought by Xia He, Ruoshu happened to take Zhonglan and the dragon and phoenix fetus to play in the courtyard, Zhonglan heard the news, and repeated happily: "Mother, father is fine." ”
Ruo Shu looked at Zhonglan's smiling face that looked like Qin Daochuan, and the guilt in his heart was even more than before, sitting on the soft chair, looking at the sky above the right courtyard, but he found that his brain was a mess.
Qin Daochuan is the seventh day of the bed, but Doctor Hu only allowed him to walk around in the study, Qin Daochuan turned around a few times, remembered the practice room behind the study, walked in and found that Zhong Zhan was practicing the ancestral boxing of the Qin family one move at a time, and when he saw Qin Daochuan, he immediately stopped, and wanted to step forward to speak, Qin Daochuan looked at him and said: "There is no distraction." ”
Zhong Zhan immediately put away his feet and continued to practice, Qin Dong took a chair to Qin Daochuan, after Qin Daochuan sat down, he looked at Zhong Zhan's not very proficient boxing, and then looked at the wide practice room, remembering the scene of his grandfather practicing here, his father has also learned boxing and swordsmanship here since he was enlightened, and then he was himself, since he was 5 years old, he practiced Sanjiu with his father in winter and Sanfu in summer, and when he was 6 years old, Qin Dong and the four of them came. Now it's his eldest son's turn to be Zhongzhan, and then he thinks that Zhonglan is almost the same, and he can be enlightened next year. said to Qin Dong: "It's also time to pick some suitable sparring partners for Zhongzhan in the military tun, don't you choose more, Zhonglan can also be enlightened next year, and the next is Zhongqi, you need to look for it in advance." ”
Qin Dong replied: "Yes, don't worry, general, I'll send a letter to let the tun chief pay attention, and the general will personally pick it up when he patrols the north this year." ”
Qin Daochuan nodded, seeing that Zhong Zhan's hands and feet seemed to be inadequate, he asked, "How long has he been practicing?" ”
Qin Dong replied: "The eldest son has always been diligent, and he will practice here for an hour every morning and evening, and sometimes for two hours at night. ”
Qin Daochuan continued to ask, "How long have you been practicing today?" ”
Qin Dong replied: "It's been almost two hours. ”
Qin Daochuan listened, shouted Zhong Zhan's name, and said: "Come here, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, the Qin family's boxing method is not heavy, and the same is true for swordsmanship, you can practice for an hour every morning and evening, think more about the meaning of boxing, and if you realize it, the boxing method will naturally arrive." ”
Zhong Zhan arched his hand and said, "Yes, father, the child understands." ”
Qin Daochuan said: "Is there anyone waiting outside?" ”
Zhong Zhan replied: "Yes." ”
Qin Daochuan said: "Then go back quickly, wash up, don't catch a cold." ”
Zhong Zhan saw that his father was in a good mood and was in a happy mood, and he was even happier when he got his father's guidance, and after retiring, he left in a hurry.
He Shiqing couldn't help it, and every day he still couldn't help but come to the study to greet her, Qin Dong got a strict order from Doctor Hu, and he didn't dare to let her in, so he could only prevaricate every day, because he returned to Qin Daochuan, and Qin Daochuan didn't speak.
He Shiqing was depressed, and when she returned to the left courtyard that day, Xian was crying again, and the nurse reported to her worriedly: "Madam, Miss Wu doesn't eat milk or drink water, how can this be good?" ”
He Shiqing didn't look at it, and said coldly: "If it's not good, go and ask for a doctor, what can I do?" ”
The nurse knew that she had never liked Xian Yan, thinking that it was because of her daughter, but Dark Xiang was afraid of revealing the filling, so she persuaded He Shiqing: "Miss, the little lady is afraid that she is also worried about the general, so she can't stop crying, why don't you hug her, maybe it's fine." ”
He Shiqing looked at the dark incense, saw that she was looking at herself, thought about it, and said, "Then you can bring her in." ”
It's strange to say, as soon as He Shiqing took it, Xian stopped crying, sobbed, and looked at her from time to time.
Both the nurse and the dark fragrance breathed a sigh of relief.
He Shiqing hugged for a while, and the child who was tired of crying fell asleep, He Shiqing looked at the girl in her arms, thinking of Zhongzhan who had just seen jumping and running into the second door, and then thinking of Ruoshu's other two sons, her heart became more and more annoyed.
Qin Daochuan thought that giving her a daughter would be regarded as sending her away, this time after he came back from Western Xia, she did everything possible to get close to him through the banquet, and others only envied her husband and wife in and out of pairs, and they were frequently rewarded, but they didn't know that this was all forced by her, and Qin Daochuan rarely even told her.
She was unwilling, the woman in the right courtyard thought that she would be able to gain the upper hand by marrying a few maidservants to Qin Daochuan's personal guards, so she disdained to do this kind of rural practice.
Looking at the sleeping girl, it has nothing to do with herself, why does she have to stay in the left courtyard so lonely, why...
By the time He Shiqing reacted, the child's face was already blue, and He Shiqing called out the name of Dark Fragrance in panic.
Dark Fragrance ran in to take a look, covered her mouth in fright, and sat down on the ground.
The two of them discussed in the room until dawn, and Dark Xiang ran out of the room, went to call the nurse, and said, "Mother Chen, it's not good, Miss Xian is not good." ”
The nurse followed up to take a look, the little girl was already cold, He Shiqing was full of tears, and said in a choked voice: "I don't know, she threw up last night, I coaxed for a long time, and finally fell asleep tired, this morning I got up like this, what should I do, what should I do?" ”
Dark Xiang hurriedly answered: "Miss, don't be sad, go and ask for a doctor, Miss will definitely be saved." ”
The nurse hugged the cold body of the girl and said with tears: "It's hopeless, it's too late." ”
Dark Xiang hurriedly knelt in front of the nurse and said, "You don't say nonsense, no, how can it be?" ”
The nurse cried and shook her head, only staring blankly at the girl in her arms.
He Shiqing muttered: "Chuanlang will definitely blame me, he will definitely ignore me anymore, I killed our daughter." After saying that, he rushed forward, ready to hit the wall, but Dark Fragrance stopped her and persuaded her.
He Shiqing still didn't care about it, and cried: "I only have one way to die now, where is there a way to live?" ”
Dark Xiang persuaded for a while, ran in front of the nurse again, and said, "Mother Chen, you save our young lady." ”
The nurse asked suspiciously, "Is there anything I can do to save her?" ”
Dark Xiang took the opportunity to say: "Mother Chen, you are doing well, just say - just say that Miss choked on milk this morning, and she will run out of gas after a while, so that the general will not blame our Miss, Miss and I will have a way to live, and we will always be grateful for your life-saving grace and will never forget." ”
The nurse still had doubts and said, "Miss Xian's death was an accident, what is the difference between last night and this morning?" ”
Dark Xiang persuaded for a long time, the nurse still refused, and finally put the dead Xian on the bed, and was ready to go back to the house, Dark Xiang looked at the back of the nurse, and didn't know what to think, untied the waist and put it on the nurse's neck, the nurse struggled for a while, and the dark fragrance panted and called He Shiqing to help, He Shiqing looked at it, and hurriedly helped Dark Xiang pull the belt, the two of them watched the nurse slowly lose movement, Dark Xiang freed up a hand, probed the nurse's snort, and said: "It's out of gas, it's out of gas." With that, he collapsed to the ground.
He Shiqing also let go of her hand and sat on the ground in a daze.
After Dark Xiang regained her strength, she said: "Miss, don't be afraid, fortunately, you never allow people to come to this courtyard at will, we will help the nurse back, and make her look like she commits suicide in fear of sin." ”
He Shiqing looked at her blankly and asked, "You-how did you know this?" ”
Dark incense said: "I saw my mother do it when I was a child, and it was a girl in the lady's room who died, and I heard my mother say that it was because she was pregnant with the prime minister's child. ”
He Shiqing knew that Dark Xiang's mother was her mother's dowry girl, and later married the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
An hour later, the Qin steward in the front yard got the letter, the lady in the left yard was gone, and the nurse was afraid of things and hanged herself.
Because Qin Daochuan's injury was not healed, no one dared to tell him, Ruoshu listened to the return of the Qin steward, and only said that he wanted him to inform the old lady, and then act according to the rules of the house.
A little girl who is less than two years old came quietly and left quietly, her parents in Jincheng may think that she has gone to the rich and noble family to enjoy happiness from this step, or they may think that she will look for her when she is an adult, in short, they would never have thought that she would end up like this.
