Chapter 17: Healing

A few people have been in the mountains for three days.

Xiao Qiyuan was so injured on his leg that he no longer needed to use a cane, and at this time he was lying motionless behind the hidden grassy slope, holding his breath, staring at the pheasant in front of him slowly looking for insects to eat.

Concentrated, lucky, the sharp stone in his hand flew over with great speed, hit the head of the chicken, the pheasant screamed, and fell to the ground and died.

He walked over, picked it up, showed a satisfied look on his face, looked up, and looked at Zhao Yu sitting on the tree, "The son of the world has a good Yaxing." ”

Zhao Yu played with a delicate short blade in his hand, "Isn't Lord Xiao also enjoying it?" ”

"Shizi, Xiao won't be dumb with you," Xiao Qi's face was slightly gloomy, "Everyone in the world knows that Prince Zhao's Mansion has hidden soldiers who protect the city, and their skills are amazing, and they are omnipotent, and even the emperor is afraid of three points." Now that the Son of the World has been gone for so long, how can they not find a reason? ”

"Or is it that they have already found it, but the prince wants to get along with the Qingshuang girl, so he doesn't show up," Xiao Qiyu took a deep breath, suppressing the resentment in his heart, "Forgive Xiao for being blunt, although the Qingshuang girl has medical skills, she is also a weak woman, and she stays in this deep mountain and old forest for a long time, I am afraid that she will eventually fall ill." It's better to send Miss Qingshuang back earlier, Xiao guarantees that she will compete with the prince fairly! ”

"Fair fighting?" Zhao Yu was surprised, as if he had said some shocking joke, "Only you will have this fun." Lord Xiao's forbidden army was hand-picked by the emperor, and it is rumored that the ten-year murder case was solved in half a day, but now it has not been found for a long time, can this son also be considered to be Lord Xiao's selfishness? ”

Xiao Qiyuan stared at him, his eyes were resentful, and after a while, he took out a wet dumb fire barrel from his arms, and his tone was weak, "Xiao wants to see those sub-god brothers, but he does what he wants." ”

"Coincidentally," Zhao Yu also took out a dumb signal tube from his sleeve and shook it, "It seems that this son and Lord Xiao are destined to suffer from the same disease." ”

The two of them sighed almost inaudibly.

When the two went back, Dou Qingshuang was decocting medicine, and the woman who was rescued two days ago was sitting next to her obediently, and when she saw someone coming, her face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Sister Qingshuang, it's all my fault, and I've tired you." ”

Dou Qingshuang glanced at the two of them when she heard this, in the past two days, Xiao Qiyuan and Zhao Yu have been fighting from morning to night, looking at each other very unpleasantly, and they are both dealing with hypocritical shelves, Dou Qingshuang feels tired for them.

Now that it is rare to see the same kind of frustration on the faces of the two of them, Dou Qingshuang has a trace of curiosity in her heart, and she really can't understand what happened to make these two people angry.

Yang Meimei lowered her head, not daring to look at the faces of several people.

Dou Qingshuang handed the medicine to her, "You said before, you are from Tong Village?" ”

"En," Yang Meimei closed her eyes, her heart was horizontal, she raised her head and drank the bitter medicine, afraid of spitting it out, so she covered her mouth tightly after drinking, until the sour and bitter taste in her mouth became lighter, and then said slowly: "Thirty miles east of Zhuohuai Mountain, is our copper village." ”

"Zhuohuai," Zhao Yu groaned, his eyes looked into the distance, and there was a trace of silence on his face that was difficult for ordinary people to detect, "across the river is Beiblazing." ”

"That's what Childe said." Yang Meimei glanced at him quickly, and lowered her head again, "Our ancestors are refugees from Beichi, my grandfather said that the one who asked for help from us was a great general, and he ordered his subordinates to open up a mountain, so that our ancestors lived there, and it has continued to this day." ”

Although the few people in front of him were in rags, their bearing was extraordinary, especially the son surnamed Zhao in front of him, who clearly had a face that was a little more beautiful than a woman, but his eyes were cold and terrifying, so that people would have a nightmare for a month when they looked at it.

Xiao Gongzi is much warmer, and if he exudes nobility on his body, he is still a life-saving benefactor who saved himself.

Yang Meimei's face instantly turned a little red.

"General," Xiao Qiqi seemed to think of something, and looked at Zhao Yu, "Since the opening of Nanshu, except for General Dou who has been awarded the honor, there is only Prince Zhao. I don't want to, it's a good fate. ”

Good karma?

Zhao Yu sneered in his heart and didn't say much.

Xiao Qiqi suddenly felt bored, he sometimes really couldn't understand, Zhao Yu's father was in a high position, the people of Nanshu were respectful, and his prestige was even more deterrent to the surrounding countries.

However, Zhao Yu didn't like others to mention it, someone once joked in front of him, and that night, the person who made the joke was never seen again.

In terms of power, no one compares to the royal family. In terms of honor, no one can compare to Zhao Yu.

No matter how many things he committed, he would be easily forgiven, and the emperor was afraid that he would not be good enough for Zhao Yu, so he would send new things from the surrounding countries to the palace of Prince Zhao every time.

Xiao Qiyuan was very jealous, but he couldn't help it.

Yang Meimei didn't understand the meaning, as long as Xiao Qiyuan said it, she nodded, "We have always lived diligently, but I don't know when it started, there was a strange illness in the village." ”

She seemed to think of something frightening, hugged her trembling body with her arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Originally, everyone just felt that the body was not good, and after a few days, they would suddenly faint at home, and when they found it, their whole body was already festering, and dirty blood was flowing all over the ground. Later, people who went to the house of the deceased will die of the same illness within a few days. ”

Dou Qingshuang frowned, "How long has it been sick?" ”

"More than a month," Yang Meimei's tears flowed, her neck was wrapped around a strip of cloth, and a little blood gradually seeped out, "The doctor who came to the village to treat medicine said that it was a kind of Gu poison." ”

Dou Qingshuang was slightly stunned, "Gu? ”

"Exactly." Yang Meimei wiped away her tears, "I don't know the specifics, but the people in the village are indeed getting better after taking the medicine given by the doctor." ”

"But that decoction is extremely difficult to find, and I want ten strings of copper coins for a bowl," Yang Meimei's voice choked, "We are a family of five, and each person has ten strings, which is forty strings of copper coins." Daddy is old, and his family only has 30 strings of copper coins a year, where can he save so many people. ”

"In order to save my two younger brothers, my mother also looked for death in the first half of the month..."Yang Meimei's tears fell one by one, soaking the ground on the tip of her shoes, "I begged Daddy to sell me, but I didn't expect that I was also poisoned by Gu Xun." ”

The Gu poison on her body is getting more and more serious, and only a man in the family can support her, she is such a daughter, she can't sell it, and it is impossible for someone to marry someone who is sick, it is better to die, it is a hundred.

Yang Meimei seemed to remember something, knelt down on her knees, "Sister Qingshuang, if you can heal me, you will definitely be able to heal my parents, I beg you, as long as you save Meimei's younger brother and parents, Meimei will be a cow and a horse for you in this life!" ”

"Please!" Yang Meimei kowtowed heavily, and after a while, there was a blood stain on her forehead.

"It's really pitiful," Xiao Qiyuan sighed, "Could it be that the local government has done nothing?" ”

Yang Meimei shook her head again and again, "We have a Gu poison that will turn people into puppets, and the official master is afraid of disaster and other people, so he surrounded Tongcun." The doctor is a miracle doctor invited by the official to treat our diseases. ”

"But the medicine is too precious, the official master said, the decoction we drink can only be obtained by the emperor's personal decree," Yang Meimei's voice lowered, "My father said, the official master is also very difficult, for us, often made difficult by the big officials in the capital!" ”

Zhao Yu Yang Mei, "I've been in the capital for so long, but I've never heard of this." Have you heard of it? ”

Xiao Qiyuan shook his head.

The two of them instantly understood.

How could there be any official who went to the capital to find medicine for them, I am afraid that this official is troublesome, so he made up such a lie to deceive them.

As for the purpose, it is estimated that he wants to take this opportunity to make a big profit on these poor villagers.

Hearing the word 'adult', Yang Meimei was even more sure that the identities of the few people in front of her were either rich or expensive, no wonder the woman in front of her could easily cure herself!

"Sister Qingshuang," Yang Meimei prostrate on the ground and made a big salute, "Sister Qingshuang, my second brother is eight years old this year, and my third brother is only two years old this year. Meimei knows that medicine is precious, Meimei is not ungrateful, Meimei's life is not valuable, but as long as Sister Qingshuang saves her family, no matter what, Meimei will fight for her life, and she will definitely help Sister Qingshuang achieve her wish. ”

The sorrow she said aroused pity from the weak birds, and her little head rubbed against Dou Qingshuang's palm, as if she was also helping the little woman intercede.

After a long time, Dou Qingshuang spoke slowly, "It's useless for me to ask for your life." Your disease, just begging me is useless, the dosage is the same, whether you can survive or not depends on your personal creation. ”

Yang Meimei raised her head, tears left several marks under her cheeks, revealing her originally fair face, and her wet eyes were like frightened fawns, "The doctor said that after fifteen days of medicine, Gu will be excreted from the body, and people will get better, without leaving any root causes." ”

"Didn't you think it was a lie to you?" Zhao Yu said with his arms crossed.

"Liar?" Yang Meimei subconsciously looked at Xiao Qiyuan.

Xiao Qiyuan was seen by her eyes, and there was a trace of support in her will, and she nodded subconsciously and said: "Miss Qingshuang's medical skills are extraordinary, she can diagnose incurable diseases that ordinary doctors can't diagnose." Maybe the doctor invited by your official master mistook a serious illness for a mild illness. ”

"What," Yang Meimei was a little more convinced of Xiao Qi's words, and muttered: "But Daddy said that it was the doctor who was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace." ”

However, they can't afford fifty strings of copper coins!

Yang Meimei's heart was horizontal, "Meimei is just a common person, and I don't understand the affairs of the official family, I only know that Sister Qingshuang has excellent medical skills and can cure my disease, please ask Sister Qingshuang to help!" ”

Xuanjin Palace?

Xiao Qiyuan's face was subtle, and he looked at Zhao Yu, but saw that the latter's face was no different, and he only teased the stupid bird in Dou Qingshuang's palm.

It seems that the doctor in Tongcun still has some background.

It's no wonder that the official master is so bold and reckless, there is the emperor's will, but no one dares to do anything with the doctor.

Even if it's a misdiagnosis.

The weak bird was impatient by Zhao Yu, and dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, so she had to work hard to shrink into Dou Qingshuang's arms, striving for Dou Qingshuang to save her from fire and water.

"It's okay to heal, but you have to do a few things for me," Dou Qingshuang touched the dumb bird soothingly, and raised her eyes to look at Yang Meimei, "Are you willing?" ”
