Chapter Twenty-Nine: Safflower Sauna

Su Mengtang heard that Ziruo and Ziwen's poison had a way to save them, so he hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" Mr. Fu turned around and squinted at Su Mengtang and asked her, "Want to know?" Su Mengtang grabbed his sleeve and pleaded: "Lao Fu, say it quickly." Mr. Fu smiled and said: "Safflower is originally used to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and the person who makes the poison must want the poison to quickly spread all over the opponent's body, so that he will be killed on the spot." But safflower also has a rare effect, which is to cool the blood and detoxify. At that time, I went to Tibet with my mentor Yuanxu Daochang. Speaking of this, Mr. Fu suddenly squinted his eyes, looked up at the distance outside the window, and the whole person was motionless as if he was out of his body, as if he was reminiscing about the experience of the year.

Su Mengtang hurriedly pushed him and said, "Lao Fu, then what?" Mr. Fu was very unhappy when his memories were interrupted, and said: "Then after a few years, your father called me back with a letter and sang me a play Bai Di Tuo Gu, have you forgotten?" Su Mengtang said: "Who asked you this?" I mean, what's it about safflower detoxification? ”

Mr. Fu suddenly took a breath of enlightenment and said, "When I see a local lama, when he goes up the mountain to worship, he will bring a bag of saffron, and if he is bitten by a snake in the mountain, he will chew the safflower and put it on the wound to detoxify." It's just that the snakes there are not very poisonous, so the safflower has a miraculous effect. This snake intestine powder is used in the five-step snake venom, which is extremely toxic, and it cannot be completely dissolved by mixing with safflower, but it can also be restrained. Thanks to this little red flower, otherwise, if you can cough up a hole in your lungs, you will definitely die. ”

Su Mengtang said: "Then let's boil some safflower water and give it to the two of us to drink, will it be able to detoxify?" Mr. Fu's face showed disgust, he glanced at Su Mengtang and said, "Drink it?" There is no poison in their stomachs, and drinking them can only invigorate blood. The poison is in the lungs, and you have to inhale it to detoxify. Su Mengtang hesitated: "Suck it in... Will you choke to death? Mr. Fu snorted, shook his head, lifted the curtain and walked out. Yunhua chased after Su Mengtang and said, "Please also make it clear to Mr." ”

Mr. Fu looked back at Yunhua with a smile, suddenly pulled him and walked a few steps forward quickly, and whispered, "This son, I don't know your surname?" Yunhua said to Mr. Fu: "Xiaosheng is exempt from your surname Zhang." Mr. Fu nodded, looked at Su Mengtang standing behind him slyly, and said to Yunhua: "Gongzi Zhang, I see that you are extraordinary, and you know that you are absolutely extraordinary. ”

Before Yunhua could speak, Su Mengtang walked up and said aggressively: "Lao Fu, you are always like this, I have my own plans for my affairs, and now is not the time to talk about this." Tell us quickly, how can the poison of these two girls be cured? ”

Mr. Fu shook his head and said, "If you want to detoxify, you only need to use the method of steaming." And you have people put ten pots around the bed, and boil the saffron on a high fire for seven days and seven nights. During this time, the safflower steam was constantly fanned into their mouths and noses, and it was sure to be inhaled into their lungs. Coupled with such a hot boil, the heat of a room can also help them sweat and expel toxins that seep into the blood. I will prescribe a few more doses of medicine, and let people feed them some rice soup and then the medicine every day, and they should be able to go to the ground in less than half a month. ”

When Su Mengtang heard this, he first asked Yunhua to go back to Zhucuizhai and take care of Qiuqiu and Ximen March for lunch. After Yunhua left, Su Mengtang immediately ordered to go down and ask the maid to pull the two beds of Furong Zhai to the center of the room, put all kinds of items such as medicine pots, and make a fire to cook medicine. Mr. Fu asked a few outside family members to move two large water tanks and put them in the courtyard, and then he paid all the men to Lan Zexuan. Su Mengtang was instructing the two mothers-in-law to guard the door to prevent the man from entering by mistake, and just saw that Mr. Fu was leaving, so he stopped him and said, "Old Fu, you go to see Hu Da on the way, he Xu Xu also inhaled snake intestines yesterday." ”

Mr. Fu said angrily: "You, you, can't you finish something in one breath?" I said that Ziruo girl was dizzy, good guy, I came to see that there was a girl with purple veins, and before leaving, I told me that there was another Hu Da. Su Mengtang laughed and said, "These three people, I will give you a jar of freshly brewed osmanthus wine each, okay?" ”

Mr. Fu snorted, walked down with his hands behind his back, suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "I'll ask Mai Dong to bring medicine to Lan Zexuan later, you let him bring four jars of wine back." Su Mengtang said: "You can't always drink, there are enough three altars." Mr. Fu was so angry that his beard turned upwards and shouted: "Those three altars are to thank me for saving people, and one more altar is to thank me for being a matchmaker, and nothing can be missing." ”

Su Mengtang turned around and left when he heard this, and said in his mouth: "It's okay not to mention this, but if you mention it, there will be no pot." Mr. Fu sighed, muttered words such as "the world is declining" and "disrespectful and respectful", and walked down Lan Zexuan.

A large group of little girls in yellow dressed only wore the gauze skirts they usually wore in the summer, sitting around the two beds, each with a pot of boiling safflower water in front of them, steaming hot. They held fans in their hands, and only gently threw the steam on the purple and purple veined surfaces. There are also a few rough mothers-in-law, who keep coming and going to add water to the pot, and are responsible for making tea for the little girls to quench their thirst.

Purple and purple veined skin condensed with water vapor, steamed like boiled egg whites, smooth and clear. Su Mengtang sat inside for a while, was already sweating profusely, and hurriedly walked out. Now that it is almost the winter moon, the weather has turned cooler, Su Mengtang walked out of the warm place, and couldn't help but feel a little chilly. At this time, the courtyard was not as lively as before, and the little maids in the courtyard of Lan Zexuan and Liudan Pavilion had all been dispatched to Furong Zhai to burn the fire. Su Mengtang suddenly remembered, and before he could show Yunhua the note from Li Zhuoran's flying pigeon, he hurriedly came out of Lan Zexuan and walked towards Tsui Zhai.

Ximen March and Qiuqiu were eating at the same table with Yunhua, and Ziyu was taking care of them. Seeing Su Mengtang, Ximen March pounced, grabbed Su Mengtang's shirt with his greasy little hand, and said, "Master, Sister Ziwen is okay, right?" Su Mengtang touched his head and said, "Good girl, with your grandfather Fu here, it will be fine in a few days." Ziyu saw Su Mengtang coming, so she quickly added a bowl of rice to her, Su Mengtang was worried about everything in his heart, and only said: "Let it go, I don't want to eat it." With that, he sat down in his seat.

Yunhua stopped his chopsticks when Su Mengtang came in, and at this time he picked up the chopsticks, put some oyster meat in Su Mengtang's bowl, and said lightly: "The rice still has to be eaten, and this mountain villa is still counting on you." Su Mengtang picked up the chopsticks, only looked at the plate of dishes in front of him, and said, "Brother Yunhua, things have happened one after another in the past few days, and none of them have been settled, which makes people feel at ease." Hearing this, Qiuqiu raised her head and looked at Su Mengtang: she was already in the mouth of the little girl in the courtyard today, and she heard many things such as "Coral escaped", "Deng Erheng died", "The man in black escaped", "Lan Zexuan quarreled", "The maid in purple was poisoned". Those little maids gossiped, telling yesterday's events in a confusing, vivid, and mysterious way, as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and Qiuqiu regretted that they did not become storytellers. But after hearing it, I was worried about Su Mengtang in my heart, so many things were pressed on a girl, and there was no one who could share it for her.

Yunhua listened to Su Mengtang's words, felt a little unbearable, and said: "The coming day is long, let's take it slowly one by one." This sentence reminded Su Mengtang, she took out Li Zhuoran's note and handed it to Yun Hua, saying, "I was in a hurry this morning, and I forgot to show it to Brother Yunhua." Yun Hua hurriedly took it, and smiled helplessly, sighing that the owner of this word was really arrogant and uninhibited. He carefully identified each word and strung it together into two sentences.
