The elders did their part, taking turns to check, and after a few hours of work, several elders got together and whispered.

Xiaohu Niang was lying on the bed, and Xiaohu was slumped on the bed board guarding his mother, not leaving an inch.

Mai Jiu glanced at the elders and then at Xiaohu Niang, feeling that something was wrong, she leaned over to Sang Huai'an and whispered: "Xiaohu is so pitiful, it's okay for two more people in the house to eat." ”

Mai Jiu planned that if this disease could not be cured, he would take their mother and daughter to the palace, so that Xiaohu Niang could live the last moment of her life.

Sang Huaian resolutely shook his head and replied: "There are no idlers in the house. ”

In his own right, he didn't want to let the person next to him take care of it, others were better than less, this person just took care of himself, for fear that he was an idler in the palace.

Mai Jiu's face darkened, and she looked at Xiaohu and the others again, she also understood this truth, it was difficult to take care of them for a long time, and she couldn't really support them for a lifetime.

Several elders discussed for a long time, and a few went out and came in, came in and went out, and ran back and forth several times.

Finally, it was when one of the eldest elders came out and said to Xiao Hu Niang: "This disease is not very common, our elders combined experience and consulting ancient books, and probably understood what kind of disease it is, and this disease is likely to be related to genetics." ”

As soon as she heard the word heredity, Xiaohu Niang first looked at Xiaohu, and Xiaohu blinked her big eyes and couldn't understand what she was saying.

The elder also saw Xiao Hu Niang's concerns, and he hurriedly asked, "Does your ancestor have this strange disease?" ”

Little Tiger Niang hesitated and didn't know how to speak: "No... I... I... I don't know. ”

Xiaohu Niang was sold by his father when she was one or two years old, and at a young age, she was either sold or on the way to be sold, and she was sold to the capital many times in the past ten years.

When she came to the capital, she was in the thirteenth and fourteenth years, and was bought by the brothel bustard to be a handyman for a few years, and then her health was not good for a while, and the bustard thought that the money spent on seeing a doctor again and again was too much, so she sold her to the current little tiger father.

The elder sighed deeply and continued, "If you drink too much alcohol and the living environment is seriously polluted, it will also induce this disease, can you drink alcohol on weekdays?" ”

Xiao Hu Niang was pulled back into her thoughts, and she shook her head: "Never drink." ”

"Poor living conditions?"

Little Tiger Niang fell silent, and this sentence brought back her memories, and the scenes of life on the boat and in the cage appeared in her mind when she was a child.

Her lips trembled, her body began to tremble, and she closed her eyes and tried to suppress them.

Xiaohu saw his mother's strange appearance and asked anxiously: "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiaohu Niang was afraid that Xiaohu would be worried, she opened her eyes and shook her head: "It's okay, my mother is fine." ”

The elders didn't dare to jump to conclusions, Xiao Hu Niang's symptoms were chaotic, and she couldn't prescribe the right medicine at all.

The little tiger lady looked at the elder and said: "When I was a child, the living environment was really bad, I never had a full meal before I was ten years old, I ate steamed buns covered with soil, and drank dirty water full of sludge. ”

The elder in front of him turned his head to look at the other elders, and several of them looked at each other.

Another elder stood up and walked over to the bedside and said, "That's probably why. ”

Little Tiger Niang stammered and asked, "Then I... Then I... This disease can.. Can it be cured? ”

The elder wanted to say no, but was stopped by someone next to him.

"It can be cured, the old man will prescribe you a prescription for diarrhea and stasis, one dose a day can not be broken, and you can recuperate slowly."

"That's... If it is incurable. ”

Xiaohu Niang still has concerns, she has to drink medicine every day, isn't it a walking medicine jar, Xiaohu is still so small, she has no money to pay for such expensive medical expenses.

The elder couldn't do anything, he lied, the prescription was just to prolong life, and it would never cure the disease, and it would be completely cured.

"No, in addition to not being able to go out during the day, you will also suffer from headaches and abdominal pain to the point of nervous breakdown."

Hearing this, Mai Jiu seemed to understand, illness is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the psychology of Xiaohu Niang, and her heart has been shattered by such a drifting life since she was a child.

After listening to Xiaohu say that her sister was sold, his mother was born of a strange disease, if her sister can be found back, maybe her mother's illness will be cured.

Thinking of this, Mai Jiu turned around and pulled Sang Huai'an's ears over, but fortunately, Sang Huai'an was quite obedient and came over.

Mai Jiu told Sang Huai'an about these things, and asked Sang Huai'an to do a favor and send some people to find Xiaohua back.

Mai Jiu left Sang Huai'an's ear, waiting for Sang Huai'an's reply, only to hear Sang Huai'an say leisurely: "Ask this king." ”

Sang Huai'an just wanted to watch that day's "Please, please." The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously at the thought of this

Mai Jiu looked at Sang Huai'an with a wicked smile on his face.

Soldiers can be killed and cannot be humiliated, mighty and unyielding, strong and unyielding, rather than dying, I will not give in!!

Mai Jiu dared not speak angrily, she turned her head and sulked alone, her hands around her chest bulging like a leather ball.

At this time, I heard Xiaohu start crying, crying and saying: "Mother, you want to be treated, you want to be treated, mother." ”

Mai Jiu hurriedly looked over, only to see Xiaohu lying in his mother's arms crying.

Mai Jiu's face was full of doubts, what was the situation, why was it still incurable, she quickly got up and went to check.

"What's wrong? Why not? I've brought you here, and I'm going to cure you. ”

Xiaohu got up from his mother's arms, knelt down at Mai Jiu's feet and cried: "Sister, please persuade my mother, please." ”

Mai Jiu pulled Xiaohu up, and she looked at Xiaohu Niang, who had been bowing her head and silent.

The room was full of people waiting for the little tiger lady to say why, and after a long time, the little tiger girl said lightly: "It's too expensive, we can't afford it." ”

Mai Jiu's head was eight big, she put one hand around Xiaohu and gently patted his back, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll help you out with the money to buy medicine." ”

There was not a hint of gratitude on the woman's expression, but slowly leaked out of horror and unease, and tears slipped from her eyes.

"Girl, you don't have to be so good to me, we don't know each other, but you have to spend so much money to maintain my life, I can't owe this favor!"

Her illness dragged down the family, and the only income in the family, Xiaohu's father, also died, and she didn't want to be cured without financial resources, and she didn't want the beautiful girl in front of her to continue to help her.

Mai Jiu sighed, Xiaohu tugged at the corner of her clothes and cried and twitched, Mai Jiu asked, "What about Xiaohu?" ”

The woman apparently did not think about the question, where should the little tiger go when she died...

She thought for a moment and said, "Then I'm going to trouble you, girl..."

Without waiting for Xiaohu Niang to finish speaking, Mai Jiu pushed Xiaohu away at once, and Xiaohu was pushed like this and lay directly on the bed.

"Let me take care of your child?"

Xiaohu Niang was stunned, Xiaohu quickly turned around and hugged his mother and continued to cry: "Mother, Xiaohu doesn't want you to die, I don't want you to die." ”

"Two choices, one, cure the disease, two, die, I don't care about this child, just let him fend for himself." Mai Jiu said as he stretched out his fingers.

Xiaohu Niang compromised, she lowered her head and replied: "I'll govern, I'll govern." ”

At this time, the elder summoned his disciples and said, "9 grams of peach kernels, 12 grams of angelica, danpi, and ganoderma lucidum, 6 grams of rhubarb, cinnamon branches, and licorice, 15 grams of miscanthus salt, turtle insects, and blanch, 12 grams of yuanhu, 9 grams of puhuang, and 18 grams of fried jujube kernels." ”

After finishing speaking, the elder turned his head and continued to say to the little tiger lady: "This is the prescription, and it cannot be broken every day. ”

Little Tiger Lady nodded.

Mai Jiu turned his head to look at Sang Huai'an with a smug look, and his slightly raised chin seemed to be showing off how good he was.

Sang Huai'an rolled his eyes and ignored it.

The disciple brought the medicine bag, the elder took it and handed it to Xiaohu Niang, Xiaohu knelt directly in front of the elder and kowtowed excitedly.

After all, the two elders are people who have seen the world, Xiaohu has been snorting all the time, one voice is louder than the other, Xiaohu Niang stretched out her hand in distress and wanted to pull it up but did not pull it up, and finally Mai Jiu stepped forward and pulled it up.

At this time, Sang Huai'an stood up from the chair and said in an indifferent tone: "After a while, this king asked people to send the follow-up Chinese medicine silver money." ”

Hearing this, the door master hurriedly stood up and said, "You said this, you don't bother with it, and we will pay all the medicine fees for the future." ”

Sang Huai'an nodded, and then walked out of the room with his feet raised.

Mai Jiu saw that Sang Huai'an had already walked out, and she said to Xiaohu and his mother: "Let's go, go home." ”

Mai Jiu looked at the two elders with kind eyebrows, she bowed deeply and said, "Thank you." ”

This action frightened the door master's legs and almost didn't kneel down, and before the door master could react, he saw Mai Jiu straighten up and bow to him again.

The door master quickly helped Mai Jiu up and said: "Princess, how can I let you bow, these are all trivial matters, and it is natural for the corpse to send a cure and save people, and it is not enough to worry about it." ”
