282. The doctor heals
When Gao Zhengce talked about the half-fairy, he deeply regretted that he had not been able to find her, and he said that it would be great if he could find her trace, but the half-fairy never gave him such a chance.
When Huo Yue came, he brought a pot of old wine, and Gao Zhengce saw that Feng Yuanzhi didn't look like she could drink, so he asked Huo Yue to take it well, and then take it to his dormitory at night, and wait until the next day to go to Lilan Mountain to find a half-fairy.
That night, Feng Yuanzhi lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she didn't feel tired when she thought of what happened this morning, why did the girl who was going to kill her suddenly decide not to kill her, why did she still look calm after being caught, why did she show nervousness when she knew that she was watching her?
Feng Yuanzhi didn't understand how to think about it.
This night, after Gao Zhengce drank the pot of wine with Gao Zhengce, he wanted to come to the queen's room to find the queen, Huo Yue said: "Wangjun, you are already drunk, should you rest early?" ”
Gao Zhengce's eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Huh? ”
Although there is only one word, but the strength is extremely strong, Huo Yue lowered his head slightly, "Since Wang Jun wants to go, then his subordinates will help you go, but now that Wan Qing is living there, will it disturb her rest at such a late hour?" ”
Gao Zhengce said: "There are a lot of words, help the widow quickly." ”
Huo Yue nodded and said yes.
When the two walked to the door, they found that the candles had been blown out in the room, and it was pitch black, Huo Yue said in a low voice: "Wang Jun, Wan Qing has already fallen asleep, it's not good to look for her again." ”
Gao Zhengce said: "What the widow is looking for is my Xiaoqian, not her." ”
Huo Yue said: "But the queen is not inside, it is Wan Qing who is inside." ”
The moon in the night sky was very bright, and the white moonlight sprinkled down on the roof, covering the room with a thin white veil and falling on Gao Zhengce's face. Under the moonlight, it is not difficult to see Gao Zhengce's slightly red face after drinking. Gao Zhengce has always had a very good amount of wine, but this wine is too strong, and he drank too much, he drank three-quarters of the whole pot of wine, and left the rest to Huo Yue, Huo Yue somehow, it is impossible for Wang Jun not to control the amount of alcohol he drinks on weekdays, what's wrong today?
Gao Zhengce said: "Isn't it the widowed Xiaoqian? Are you kidding? ”
Huo Yue said: "It's really not her, and her subordinates aren't joking." ”
Gao Zhengce waved his hand, "Who is that person in a pale pink dress in there?" Yes? ”
Huo Yue explained: "It's just a painting, not a real person. ”
Gao Zhengce pushed Huo Yue away and said angrily: "What nonsense? That is the widow's beloved wife. ”
Feng Yuanzhi tossed and turned on the bed, heard movement outside the door, as if someone was talking, and wondered who it would be so late, so she got out of bed and walked over, hiding by the door to listen to who was talking and what was being said.
Gao Zhengce said: "That's not a painting, that's the widow's beloved wife." ”
It's really troublesome to be drunk, Huo Yue has followed Gao Zhengce for more than 20 years, and it's the first time he has seen Gao Zhengce drunk. Huo Yue said: "That's a painting, and it's also a queen, but the person in the painting won't come out." ”
Gao Zhengce said angrily: "Nonsense! ”
Gao Zhengce tried to push the door open, but when he put his hand on the door, Huo Yue stopped him and said, "Wang Jun, let's go back." ”
Gao Zhengce pushed him away again, "The widow wants to find my Xiaoqian, you go away, don't stop the widow." ”
Feng Yuanzhi was slightly stunned, looked at the painting hanging on the wall by the moonlight, stared at the woman in pink in the painting, and said in her heart: Xiaoqian, is it her?
The maid told her that the woman in this painting was the queen, and it turned out that the queen's name was Xiaoqian.......
It seems that Gao Zhengce is drunk and wants to come to find a wife when he is drunk, but why is he looking for a wife, not directly looking for her himself, but looking for a painting?
What about Xiaoqian and herself?
When Gao Zhengce was about to push the door open, Feng Yuanzhi shrank back, and Huo Yue pulled him again, "Wang Jun, Wan Qing has already fallen asleep, so we won't disturb her to rest." ”
Gao Zhengce sat down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "If Xiaoqian is still here, how good it would be." ”
Huo Yue looked up at the bright sky of the stars and moon, "The queen is in the spirit of the sky, she must hope that you will have a good life." ”
Gao Zhengce retorted, "What is in the spirit of heaven, she is still alive and well, just in the room, hanging on the wall." ”
Gao Zhengce took his hand up and put it on his shoulder, "Let's go back, tomorrow we will go to Lilan Mountain to find a half-fairy, if we are not in a good state, we will be even more reluctant to see us if we touch the half-fairy." ”
Feng Yuanzhi frowned, and said in her heart: It turns out that his wife is no longer there.......
Thinking of Princess Wan'er being such a cute little girl, who has no mother at such a young age, Feng Yuanzhi sympathized with her and felt sad for her, the little girl is so pitiful, Wan'er is still young now, maybe she still doesn't understand the pain of losing her mother, it's good to not understand, save her sadness, but I don't know what will happen when she grows up. Thinking of this, I can't help but think of my mother who is no longer alive, and think that when she was still a sixteen-year-old girl, she left her before she had time to be filial to her mother. I felt that I was already unlucky, and now I met a little girl who was even more unfortunate than her, and Feng Yuanzhi was very sad.
After Huo Yue carried Gao Zhengce on his back for a distance, Feng Yuanzhi opened the door and looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, Huo Yue carried them step by step, and the moonlight gradually lengthened their figures. Feng Yuanzhi turned her head and looked at the painting on the wall, the moonlight in this night was very bright, brighter than lighting a candle, and she could see the gentle and moving appearance of the woman in the painting.
Although she came to the palace for a short time, she didn't seem to have any girls around her, she thought, couldn't it be that Gao Zhengce didn't remarry or take a concubine after his wife left?
Back on the bed, why the maid wanted to kill her was gradually replaced by her sympathy for Wan'er in her heart, and she gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Feng Yuanzhi opened the door of the room, thinking that it was not a good way to stay here, and that she had to find an opportunity to go back to Nanyue, so it was better to sneak away while she was going to Li Lan Mountain with them.
There were some entanglements in her hands, which were given to her by Gao Zhengce, and these silver taels were enough for her to hire a carriage to go back.
Huo Yue prepared the carriage and took a group of guards on the road, when they came to the foot of Lilan Mountain, Gao Zhengce and Huo Yue walked the same way as usual, the old wine last night was too strong, so that Gao Zhengce still had some pain now, Feng Yuanzhi quietly walked back after the two of them walked forward for a distance.
When she was getting farther and farther away from Gao Zhengce and Huo Yue, Feng Yuanzhi soothed her eyebrows, and now she could go.
"Help!" Suddenly there was a cry for help in the distance, the voice was the voice of a child, Feng Yuanzhi looked around, the cry for help was intermittent, and it was not easy to confirm that the direction of the sound was a river in the distance, Feng Yuanzhi walked over, and listened to the sound coming from upstream, so he hurriedly rushed through the grass and woodland.
"Brother, save me!"
"Catch my hand!"
.........
When Feng Yuanzhi arrived, the little boy who was holding the little girl's hand on the shore fell down.
"Brother........
"Rippling ........"
The river is turbulent, Feng Yuanzhi is afraid that they will be washed away if they are not careful, and jumped into the river when she was in a hurry, and after saving the brother and sister, the little girl has fainted, Feng Yuanzhi has done artificial respiration for the little girl for a long time, the little girl slowly opened her eyes, the little boy thanked Feng Yuanzhi again and again, Feng Yuanzhi looked at the little boy, and said: "Little friend, how did you fall into the water?" ”
The little boy said: "Today I went out with my sister to touch the fish, and after touching a few fish, I went ashore, and my sister didn't stand well on the shore and fell down." ”
Feng Yuanzhi frowned slightly and said, "The weather is getting colder, why do you still go into the water?" What should I do if I catch a cold? Besides, the river is so turbulent that it will almost be swept away by the river just now. ”
The little boy hung his head and wiped his tears, the weather was cold, the little boy was not only crying a little sock, but also shivering with cold, his lips were trembling, Feng Yuanzhi took the two children to a small hole in the mountain by the river, and made some fires to keep them warm, the little boy and his sister were warming up, and said thank you to Feng Yuanzhi, the little girl looked at her brother and cried: "Brother, I'm hungry." ”
The little boy frowned, "Ripple, when we dry our clothes, we will go home, and the dried radishes pickled at home should be ready to eat." ”
The little girl said, "But brother, will my father and mother scold us if they find that there are fewer dried turnips?" ”
The little boy said: "Don't worry, if my father and mother ask, I will say that I eat it all by myself, so that my father and mother will not blame you." ”
Feng Yuanzhi frowned, "Eat dried radish?" ”
The little boy nodded, "Sister, you saved us, dried radishes are the best thing we eat, if my sister doesn't dislike it, when we dry our clothes, go home with us, and we invite you to eat dried radish." ”
Feng Yuanzhi grew so big, she hadn't heard of dried radish what was the best thing to eat, she couldn't help but sympathize with the two children, got up and walked to the edge of the cave and picked up the fish that she tied up with a rope, and then skewered the fish with a wooden stick and walked to the fire. The fish are still there! ”
Feng Yuanzhi smiled slightly: "When I cook the fish, you will be able to eat enough." ”
When he said this, the little boy's face was a little dull, and Feng Yuanzhi said, "What's wrong?" ”
The little boy sobbed a little and said, "I'm afraid........ I'm afraid that if I eat it, then when I go home, my parents won't have anything to eat, and they will go hungry. ”
Feng Yuanzhi raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Are your parents at home?" ”
The little boy said: "At home, my father is seriously ill and cannot go out to earn a living, and my mother takes care of him at home every day. ”
Feng Yuanzhi asked, "What disease?" ”
The little boy shook his head, "I don't know, my mother didn't say it, besides, the family has no money, and my father can't afford to see a doctor, so he can only stay sick in bed every day." ”
Feng Yuanzhi frowned, the two children were also pitiful, stretched the fish into the fire, the little boy's eyes were pitiful, Feng Yuanzhi said: "Don't worry, after you finish eating the grilled fish, my sister will go to your house to see your father and mother." ”
The little boy was a little shy, "Sister, you are dressed so beautifully, you must not be an ordinary family, I am afraid that our family is too simple......."
Feng Yuanzhi said: "Don't worry about this, listen to what I say, just do what I say." ”
The little boy hesitated for a moment before nodding.
A total of three fish touched, Feng Yuanzhi only brought two back to roast, after the roast, Feng Yuanzhi gave the little boy and the little boy one each, the two children looked at the fish in the wooden stick in their hands, you look at me, I look at you, and did not move their mouths.
Feng Yuanzhi asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The little boy said, "Sister, you roasted the fish, otherwise, I will give you this one in my hand, and I will eat one with my sister." ”
Feng Yuanzhi said: "Sister is not hungry, you two can eat." ”
The little girl's pair of watery eyes met Feng Yuanzhi's gaze, and when she just met it, out of shyness, her eyes were a little cringe, and she quickly lowered her head, and her eyes were also lowered, and the little girl whispered: "Sister, you saved us, and helped us make a fire and grill fish, we are already very grateful to you, you can eat one." ”
Feng Yuanzhi touched the little girl's head, "Good, listen to my sister's words, you eat all the fish, and if you don't eat it, your sister will be angry." ”
When the two children heard Feng Yuanzhi say this, they had to eat the fish obediently.
The cave is very warm, but at this time the cave is getting cooler and colder, Feng Yuanzhi let the two children in the cave to get some warmth, out of the cave to see a middle-aged man with a bamboo basket passing by, the man walked, while picking the grass on the road, once a closer look, he is not picking the general grass, but like picking herbs, such as picking before the smell of the smell, some smell and lose, and some smell after the handful, pick a large handful and put it in the bamboo basket behind.
The man was dressed in an apricot-colored suit and wore an apricot-colored hat like a ....... Old Chinese medicine doctor.
The middle-aged man was picking medicine, the sky was gradually covered with dark clouds, the dark clouds were getting denser and denser, and it rained not long after, the middle-aged man had nowhere to hide from the rain, so he walked in the direction of the cave, and when he walked all the way, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the middle-aged man ran faster and faster, and when he walked in front of Feng Yuanzhi, Feng Yuanzhi moved his body and left a vacant seat for the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man saw Feng Yuanzhi for the first time, his eyes lit up and said, "The old man has lived for so long. It's the first time in my life that I've met a girl as beautiful as you. ”
Feng Yuanzhi was a little uncomfortable, although she had been praised for many years, but when she first met this middle-aged man, she was praised by him like this, and she was a little uncomfortable. The middle-aged man noticed Feng Yuanzhi's discomfort, squinted and smiled: "Girl, don't be uncomfortable, the old man just remembered his daughter." ”
Feng Yuanzhi said: "I see. ”
The middle-aged man sighed, Feng Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows, and asked the middle-aged man why he sighed, and the middle-aged man remembered the past.
Perhaps people's sorrow has been hidden in the heart for too long, and after it has become a heavy burden, this burden will continue to convey the sadness of the past to people, because it is too heavy, so that the person who has this burden will have a stronger desire to talk, and those close to him cannot hear it, but strangers may hear it.
When you meet a stranger, this stone will become a steady stream of information to be sent out by the host, and the object of delivery is the person who is involved. For a middle-aged man, an older girl like Feng Yuanzhi, he used to have one in his family, but she left early, if she was still there, she would be about the same age as Feng Yuanzhi.
The middle-aged man bluntly said that he had not had his daughter by his side all these years, and he had become very lonely. The older he is, the more lonely he is, the more sad he will be because of a little thing, and a middle-aged man like him, he often wonders if he will be the only one.
Feng Yuanzhi asked, "Then where did your daughter go?" ”
When this question came out, Feng Yuanzhi regretted it a little, thinking that maybe she shouldn't ask.
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little dignified, Feng Yuanzhi lowered his head slightly, he was so big, it was the first time he had met a middle-aged man like him.
The middle-aged man sighed lightly, "She hasn't been around for many years."
Feng Yuanzhi said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." ”
The middle-aged man said, "It's okay, when I see you, I think of her." ”
The rain outside the cave became heavier and heavier, and Feng Yuanzhi said: "It's cold here, I made a fire inside, why don't we go in?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, walked into the cave with Feng Yuanzhi, and when they walked in, the two siblings fell asleep together.
The middle-aged man said, "Are they your younger brothers and sisters?" ”
Feng Yuanzhi shook her head, "No, I came to Lilan Mountain today, and I heard a cry for help on the way, so I followed the sound to find it, and finally saw two children falling into the water, so I rescued them." ”
The middle-aged man exclaimed, "What a beautiful and kind-hearted girl." ”
When Feng Yuanzhi heard this, she frowned slightly, and the middle-aged man asked, "Is the girl worried at the moment?" ”
Feng Yuanzhi said: "These two children, their father is sick in bed, because there is no money for treatment, the condition has not improved, I think they are pitiful, and I want to find a doctor for them to treat their father." ”
The middle-aged man said, "Where does their father live?" ”
Feng Yuanzhi shook her head, "I don't know." ”
The middle-aged man is a village doctor, and a few years ago there was a locust plague in his hometown, and there was no harvest in his hometown, and many people starved to death. At that time, he left his hometown, came here to practice medicine, although the income is not much, but can also be food and clothing, recently a patient came to the door, because of the lack of medicine, he came here to collect medicine, this life has seen a lot of diseases, he has seen a lot of patients, some have money, some are poor, if it is too poor, can not afford the cost of medicinal materials, then he also said forget it, do not charge money.
Now into this mountain to collect medicine, met a pair of poor children, their father has no money to treat the disease, he as a doctor, the dream of this life is not to make a living by curing diseases, but to help the world to save people, when he was young he was also a rich son, with a famous doctor to study medicine, learned a medical skill, but unfortunately his father smuggled salt and iron, was arrested by the government and beheaded, his mother fled with his father after his father was beheaded, and finally fled to a small village, in that small village to practice medicine, this line is half a life, It's a pity that although he has a good medical skill, he was restricted by a small place, and went to a small town after a locust plague in his hometown, and then practiced medicine incognito, known as Dr. Lin.
In the small town, there was a woman who sought medical treatment, lacked a few medicinal herbs, went into the mountains to collect medicine, and met someone in need, Dr. Lin wanted to help.
After relying on the fire in the cave for a long time, the two children woke up from their dreams, the little boy rubbed his eyes, looked at Feng Yuanzhi and said, "Sister, have we slept for a long time and delayed your time?" ”
Feng Yuan Zhi Road; "It's raining heavily outside, the rain hasn't stopped, we have to hide from the rain for a while, where will we delay time?"
After the rain gradually stopped, Feng Yuanzhi said to the little boy that the one next to him was a doctor and was going to treat their father, the little boy was very happy to hear it, and the two brothers and sisters said thank you again and again.
The two brothers and sisters brought Feng Yuanzhi and Dr. Lin to their house, Feng Yuanzhi raised her eyes and looked, this room is a small thatched house, very dilapidated, there is a bench at the door, the wooden chair looks old, some tattered, it looks like no one has sat on it for a long time, there is a small clay pot next to the bench, the clay pot is stuffed into the corner of the shadow, Feng Yuanzhi thought, is that the small clay pot with pickled radish dried as the two children said?
The little boy introduced Feng Yuanzhi and Dr. Lin into the house, and just walked to the door, he heard the man's cough, the little boy opened the door and hurriedly ran in, and said loudly: "Dad, mother, the doctor is here, the doctor is here." ”
Feng Yuanzhi and Dr. Lin walked behind, and before they entered the inside, they heard the little boy's father say angrily, "Who told you to ask for a doctor?" Don't you know the situation in our family? How can we possibly afford treatment? Don't trouble our family anymore! ”
The boy's mother said, "Where did you get the doctor?" ”
The little boy said, "It's in the mountains." ”
His mother said, "The family doesn't have the money. ”
After Dr. Lin walked in, he saw that the boy's father was reclining on the bed, and his mother was sitting on the side, Dr. Lin said, "You don't have to worry about the silver, I'll see a doctor and don't charge the cashier." ”
The little boy's mother was surprised: "Really? ”
After a long time, the little boy's mother asked how it was, and Dr. Lin responded that it could be treated, but he needed to take more than half a year of medicine, so he wrote a recipe, so that the little boy's mother would go up the mountain to pick it back and fry it in the future.
Dr. Lin said: "You don't have to say thank you, it's just a gesture." ”
In this mountain, there are not many people living in it, only a few families, but the bandits in this mountain are not few, usually after going down the mountain to rob, the looted property is moved to the mountain, but this group of thieves is not satisfied with the looted property from outside the mountain, this day a swarm rushed to this vicinity to rob, and then came to this hut not far away, one of them said to the person who was the leader: "Big brother, this broken house, at first glance, it looks like a poor family lives in it, do you really want to go in?" Will it be in vain? ”
The big robber at the head said: "How many times over the years have I not gone in because I looked at this house in tatters, and we don't know if there is a rich man hidden in it, don't talk nonsense, it's over when you go in and grab something, what you grab is what, whether it's worth it or not!" ”
"Bang!" With a bang, the huts were kicked open by the robbers, and the door was already dilapidated, and it was almost shattered when they were kicked like this.
Hearing the voice, the little boy ran out to look, saw a group of robbers breaking in, and exclaimed, "Oh no! The robbers are coming! ”
