After Xue Liangan received the letter from the Xiao Mansion, he immediately rushed over with a medicine box.

Xiaoshan's illness was diagnosed by him and Hongzhu through discussion, and the cause was poisoning. After taking medicine and conditioning, it has gradually improved, and it should not be a sudden turn to the next disease, the toxicity has been dissipated, and there is no disease to occur.

That's why he stopped the red beads from feeding the medicine.

I first looked at its color, carefully checked the pulse, and then pricked the acupuncture points with silver needles and checked it for half an hour.

Xiao He hugged the shivering hill before asking him, "How?" ”

Xue Liangan frowned, "Not good." Brother Ling is afraid that it is not only poisoned, but also the signs of Gu. ”

The Gu that Xue Liangan said was not a witch Gu, but a kind of secret technique that was prevalent in a small country at the junction of Dayue and Nanfeng.

Gu people, insects, some fingers look like centipedes, and some are so small that they are invisible to the human eye. But what the real Gu is, even Xue Liangan has never seen it, and he has only seen records in some ancient books in his life, and he has not seen the person in the Gu with his own eyes.

This hill was the first person he met.

He vaguely remembered that it was recorded in the book that the Yun Yin Miao Gu had no medicine to treat, and could only be solved by the person who was under the Gu, and forcibly using the medicine would only make both the host and the Gu worm lose.

Listening to his description, Xiao He was afraid. Hongzhu stood on the side with an even more ugly face, and only after a long time did he say abruptly: "That...... The slave and maid went and poured out the medicine. Xue Liangan let out a long sigh and said to Xiao He: "Look at his symptoms, this Gu seems to have only come on in the past two years, if you wait for him to sober up, ask for some details......"

Xiao He tightened his brows, "Now that his situation is painful, can he alleviate it?" ”

"I'll give him a needle, try." Xue Liangan also explained that according to the records in the book, if the Gu poison is not antidote, the interval between each attack will become shorter and shorter, until the last drop of the host's essence blood is exhausted.

When Xiao He got up and wanted to give it to Xue Liangan, she found that her wrist was still being dragged by Xiaoshan, so she had to change the direction and sit in front of him, helping him so that Xue Liangan could use the needle.

A total of twelve big points were pierced, and the silver needles were more than a foot long, and Xiao He was a little frightened when he saw it.

The silver needle entered the acupoint three inches, and every time the needle fell, the hill seemed to be in great pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't snort. It's just that he pinched Xiao He's wrist and used his strength slightly. Xiao He's wrist overflowed with red marks, and he didn't care at all.

"Hold down, don't move." Xue Liangan fell to the third shot, and he was also sweating profusely. Hongzhu swapped the two handkerchiefs on the side to help him wipe his sweat.

Xiao He pulled out his wrist and pulled Xiaoshan's two arms into his arms, he was already confused but seemed to be still clearly distinguished, threw himself into Xiao He's arms, hugged her tightly, and rested his head on her shoulder.

She was able to reach out and tighten around his armpits, and lock him in her arms. Xiaoshan is slightly skinny, but his muscles are strong. When the two of them were close together, they could still feel the chill on him.

Although this posture is too intimate, in order to save people at this moment, Xiao He can't care so much. Moreover, in her mind, she regarded Xiaoshan as a sibling, without the slightest defense between men and women, and only wanted to alleviate his pain, and did not care about anything else.

Xue Liangan finished the other remaining needles in one go, and breathed a little. The silver needle should not stay in the body for too long, it will hinder the flow of qi and blood, but if the time is too short, and it cannot suppress the Gu poison, everything is in vain and in vain.

Xue Liangan pondered intently, and hurriedly pulled out the needle when the hour came.

Inserting the needle is like piercing the bone, and pulling out the needle is like pulling the marrow.

Even if Xiao Shan is an iron beater, he can't withstand this kind of torture, he can't bear it in the end, and bites Xiao He's shoulder. Xiao He was in pain, but he still whispered in his ear with relief, "It's okay right away, be patient a little more." ”

After a while, the acupuncture ended, and although Xiaoshan's body was still a little cold, it was not so cold as freezing his hands.

"I'll sleep on my stomach tonight and find someone to take care of him." Xue Liangan took the face of the red bead and wiped his face slightly. His gaze fell on Xiao He's shoulder, and the red color that came out of several layers of clothes couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "County Lord......" As soon as the words came out, he quickly changed it again, "My lord, your injury ......"

Xiao He glanced at it and shook his head, "It's okay." ”

Xue Liangan then explained the method of care to the servants in detail, and then left.

Xiao He watched Xiaoshan fall asleep before returning to his room, and Hongzhu stopped the bleeding for her and smeared the medicine. Xiao He heard her sigh softly beside her, so he asked her why she sighed.

Hongzhu's expression was a little evasive, as if he had been thinking for a long time before he spoke, "Childe, that little mountain boy is afraid that he is deliberately hiding his identity, don't you suspect that he has ulterior motives?" ”

"I believe in the elder brother of the Dai family. Since I should have taken care of Xiaoshan by him, I will die before I can afford his trust in me. Xiao He said without thinking.

Some people have to be kind to them in order to have peace of mind. Even if Xiao He is full of devastation, she hopes that there is a place where all trust can be placed, and there is no need to be suspicious.

Hongzhu saw that Xiao He was so determined, so it was difficult to say anything, but she made up her mind in her heart, and secretly wanted to monitor Xiaoshan and find out what he was trying to do.

was mentioned by Hongzhu, Xiao He also remembered it, so he repaired a book overnight and asked people to send it to Dai Qingshan's dart bureau in Yongzhou. One is to greet him, and the other is to inquire about how the Gu poison on Xiaoshan's body came from.

According to Dai Qingshan's temper, it's time to come and take a look when you're not busy these days. Could it be that he is delayed by something?

When Xiao He lay down, the sky was already bright.

I didn't sleep for two hours when I heard Duan Heng shouting outside.

"It's a great sin to disturb people's dreams!" She tidied up a little and opened the door to go out.

This prince is less and less regarded as an outsider, and entering her Xiao He Mansion is like his own garden. Although Xiao He was not angry, he also looked at him with raised eyebrows. Duan Heng looked at her and laughed at her, "I didn't expect Lord Xiao to have a lazy time, come and take you to a good place, it will definitely make you a hundred times more energetic!" ”

Xiao He looked suspicious, but was half-dragged and half-dragged by Duan Heng and left.

When she was taken to the Wanhua Building by Duan Heng, her face was wrinkled. She originally slept well in her own house, but she was deceived by Duan Heng in every possible way, and as a result, he brought her to this kind of place?

"The large and small Fengyue places in the imperial capital, today, will send their top cards to this Wanhualou to run for the Oiran. If you miss today, Brother Xiao, you will have to wait another year! The way he said it was so big that people almost thought that he was a child of a family who was obsessed with lust.

"Really? Then I really have to thank Shizi. Xiao He responded angrily.

Even if the oiran was inlaid with gold all over her body, it couldn't stop her from making an appointment with the bed, and life and death were wide......

After losing a roll of his eyes, Xiao He turned around to leave, Duan Heng pulled her sleeve and pulled her back, "Ten taels of seats, I have paid the deposit for both of us, you go, I am not a loss?" ”

Xiao He yawned a lot, and that expression had already told Duan Heng that he was not interested, and he didn't want to accompany him.

"How about making a deal?" Duan Heng rubbed his hands.

"Huh?" Xiao He didn't believe that he felt sorry for his ten taels of silver, and listened to what he said.

"You accompany me to have a look, and a large basket of Nanfeng kumquat will be sent to your house later." Duan Heng said a little sincerely.

Ordinary people will think that this business is too child's play, but it is just a basket of oranges, and it is not okay to wait for more than half a year to eat fresh. But as soon as Xiao He heard that it was Fengguo's kumquat, he was moved.

Duan Heng is also well-connected in the imperial city, and he has his fox friends and dog friends in all the gate valve families, this kind of private fruit in the ice cellar of the aristocratic family, as long as he spends some favor and puts a little effort, one or two baskets are nothing.

No matter how you calculate it, he doesn't lose, and she doesn't lose either.

Xiao He swallowed his saliva and stretched out two fingers, "Two baskets." ”

"Telak, that's it!" Duan Heng grabbed her hand and let her be led into the Wanhua Building by him before she had time to pull it out.

The Oiran competition, to put it bluntly, is just to let the owner throw money at the girl he likes. There are a lot of rich and idle young sons and brothers like Duan Heng in the imperial capital, even if they said that when they went out to conquer Saibei some time ago, the treasury was about to be drained, they were still in the mood to spend a lot of money here, just to smile at Bo Hongyan.

Xiao He knew that she was not qualified to judge others, and she also sold herself as a companion for two baskets of oranges, and accompanied Shizi into this gold cave.

Thinking about it like this, she didn't feel that she was any different from these gentlemen, and she shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly.

As soon as Duan Heng appeared, his narrow-sleeved tight-fitting clothes were already eye-catching in everyone, and with his face, he was a regular customer here. Naturally, someone immediately came to lead them to the upstairs box and sat in the box to wait for the game to start.

Xiao He followed him while looking around at the surroundings.

This Wanhualou is indeed much larger than the Rumeng Building and the Huange Building that I have been to before, and the lobby on the first floor alone, the round small stage is arranged in a unique style. It is said that the predecessor of Wanhualou was the song and dance workshop of the official family, which was in charge of court music and dance in its heyday, and there were nearly four or five hundred people in the workshop.

Since the change of dynasty, it has gradually declined, and now it has completely become a prostitution, but there are still singing and dancing performances that cannot be seen elsewhere, and the elegance and vulgarity are appreciated, which also makes it stand in the imperial capital for decades. It can be regarded as a legend in the industry, and now it has won the right to hold the annual Oiran Contest, and the business is naturally more prosperous than elsewhere.

I heard that there is a high-ranking government behind him as his backstage, but I don't know which official is above the second grade.

Xiao He listened to a lot of interesting news.

After entering the private room, hot tea is served. Xiao He picked up the tea bowl and sniffed it in front of his nose, and it turned out to be a tribute tea bird's tongue. This is obedient, just a pot of tea is worth half of the ticket price. Xiao He said in his heart that the boss of Wanhualou is a rare real person, who can do business and knows how to maintain the owner, so it is no wonder that he can attract repeat customers like Duan Heng.

Duan Heng turned his head and saw that the expression on Xiao He's face was scattered into a lotus flower in the tea soup, the shade was appropriate, the water could not be dissolved, the ink could not be washed off, moistened into the eyes, and dripped into the heart, which made him stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to ease up, and he asked casually, "How is it?" Didn't you take it in the wrong place, did you? ”
