Chapter 294: Free Clinic
The red fruit with the white jade crown is so beautiful. Du Mei tiptoed the dogwood in his hair and tilted his head in admiration.
"Just as good looking as you are." Chu Lin smiled and stretched out his arms to hug her.
"If we don't go to the theater again, it's going to be over." I had never seen such a shameless and unashamed boast, Du Mei pushed him shamefully.
The two brushed away the willow branches and walked to the bright spot. There were not many people in front of the stage, and the old man couldn't stay up all night, so he went back to sleep one after another, leaving many benches empty, and Chu Lin and Du Mei sat side by side in the back.
"It is like a flower for you, like a water, and the ...... of the year," a handsome student on the stage sang affectionately.
Chu Lin quietly stretched out his hand to shake Du Mei, his palm was dry and strong, and he wrapped her small hand in it.
"Before turning this peony bar, close to the edge of the lake and mountain, loosen the collar button with you, and the clothes are ......" Xiaosheng's lyrics suddenly changed, and the young students who drank in the audience began to coax, and the noisy voice overshadowed the tactful singing.
"Meizi, let's go back." Chu Lin shook Du Mei's hand under the black daze.
I don't know what other explicit words are behind this, Chu Lin doesn't want to hear it, and he doesn't want Du Mei to listen to it, as if he will blaspheme her.
"I'll go find Du Ying and them." Du Mei got up and looked around, but he didn't see them, and the children must not know where to hide and play at this time.
Du Mei searched left and right, Fang found the three sisters behind the stage with a group of children to have fun, it turned out that after they watched Wu Song fight the tiger, they were not interested in standing babbling and singing for a long time, and they couldn't understand the words at all.
"It's getting late, let's go back, otherwise my mother will be worried." Du Mei picked up the children one by one and patted them with dust.
"Brother Chu Lin!" Du Guiren's small eyes were sharp, and he ran to him at once and looked up at him.
"Do you want to ride in Malaysia today?" Chu Lin bent down to tease her.
"Good, good." Du Gui's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Du Gui has always been bold, she climbed over the horse pulling the cart at home, she sat on the walking Mo Yun, although it was the first time to ride a horse, because Chu Lin personally led the horse for her, she would never let her have any mistakes, so she was not very afraid.
The other children followed, frightened and envious of Du Gui's horseback, and from time to time asked her what she saw on the tall horse, or whether her buttocks hurt or not.
A group of people chattered and laughed back to Du Mei's house. When Xu saw so many half-grown children pouring in, he was a little confused for a while, how could he sleep at home.
Du Mei sent the three little ones to wash up, and she planned to clean up the beds in the two rooms to the west, so that the boys could sleep in one and the girls in the other, and she moved in to squeeze with Du Gui.
"Auntie." Everyone scattered, and Chu Lin stepped forward to salute.
"You just arrived?" Xu Shi was a little surprised, it was almost the end of the hour.
"Tomorrow's holiday, so ......" Chu Lin's eyes followed Du Mei's figure, so he couldn't wait to come overnight.
"But today......" Xu frowned, the house was all occupied by children, where could he find a bed for this dignified Nine Princes to sleep in?
"I'll just make do with the stone." Chu Lin didn't wait for Xu Shi to finish speaking, and hurriedly said. He was afraid that the Xu family would not be able to settle in his family and turn him away.
"That'...... All right. Xu sighed slightly in his heart, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he turned around and went back to his own room.
Du Mei drilled in the cotton yarn tent to fight mosquitoes for the children, Chu Lin sat under the dim and flickering lights and looked at her, Du Mei occasionally looked back and smiled at him, that clear smile made Chu Lin suddenly feel that the world was clear. The two of them just accompanied silently like this, and they were already winning a thousand words.
In the dead of night, the stone bed naturally gave Chu Lin to sleep, he practiced cross-legged under the corridor, and those who practiced martial arts absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and condensed internal force to fight drowsiness and recharge their energy more than sleeping.
On weekdays, in order to protect Du Mei's family, Shi Shi is very vigilant even if he is asleep, and now Yan Wang is coming in disguise, although outsiders may not know his noble identity, but Shi obviously feels an invisible pressure on his shoulders, and he wants to cheer up his spirit.
There is no dream all night, and the light of day breaks.
Du Mei got up early in the morning to make breakfast for everyone, and the soft and glutinous pumpkin porridge was boiling in the cauldron, and a circle of fermented cakes was pasted along the edge of the pot, and she turned around to fish out the hard-boiled eggs and salted duck eggs from the other pot.
"Meier." Chu Lin stepped into the kitchen, wearing the smoke-blue robe that Du Mei gave him yesterday, with an embroidered dragon-shaped belt around his waist, the whole person was clean and refreshing, elegant and outstanding.
The house where the stone lived was close to the kitchen, although Du Mei was very careful, Chu Lin still heard the movement, the children were late yesterday, and they must be in bed today, and it must be Du Mei who gets up at this time.
"Look at you, I forgot to draw my face, be careful of being seen by others!" Du Meijiao said angrily.
"You can help me draw." Chu Lin smiled and stretched out the graphite in his hand in front of Du Mei.
"Sit down." Du Mei pointed helplessly to the small stool beside him.
Chu Lin sat down and raised his face, Du Mei held Chu Lin's shoulder with one hand, dipped the graphite in water with the other hand, pursed his lips and smeared it on the left side of his face. The two of them were very close to each other, breathing and smelling each other. The morning light shone in through the window lattice, and Chu Lin clearly saw the small and cute fluff on Du Mei's face, and he couldn't help but stretch out his long arm to hug her slender waist.
"Don't make a fuss, beware of the flowers." Du Mei's hand trembled.
"It's okay, it's a big deal to redraw." Chu Lin said in a low voice.
"Ahem!" Xu's cough sounded in the courtyard.
Chu Lin immediately let go of his hand, and Du Mei chuckled: "You are also afraid!" ”
After half a cup of tea, Xu Shi entered the kitchen, Du Mei was frying side dishes on the pot, and Chu Lin was sitting in the stove to light the fire.
Du Mei fried a dish of sour cowpeas, and took some sour cabbage from the pickle jar and cut it into small pieces, with pickled peppers, sour and spicy, and was afraid that the children would not be used to eating it, so he mixed two fresh tender cucumbers.
The boys and girls got up one after another, they thought about going to the mountains to pick dogwood fruits, and one by one they refused to eat seriously, and they were about to leave after drinking only a bowl of porridge. The children each took a little, carried baskets and baskets, and hurriedly walked away together.
The house was quiet all of a sudden, Du Mei was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Chu Lin helped take care of Juniper, this little doll was very well-behaved, staring at Chu Lin with big black eyes, very curious about the birthmark on his face.
"You're not bold, others are scared away when they see me like this, how dare you look at me like this?" Chu Lin laughed and teased him, and when he laughed, the birthmark was twisted, and it was a little crazy.
Juniper didn't know to be afraid, but grinned and reached out to grab his face, babbling and not knowing what to say, and saliva flowed down.
The two didn't understand the language, but they had a good time, Xu was peeling red beans in the courtyard, and when he saw this, a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Erjin's family, is Meizi at home?" Du Huaibing's wife, Deng Shi, came over with a smile on her face and asked.
"Where's the kitchen?" Xu Shi dropped the red bean, stood up and clapped his hands.
"Yesterday, my old man Fei took Dr. Zhong to rest in my house for one night, and the two chatted for half the night, and told him that many people in the village could not afford to see a doctor, so they could only drag it until they were hopeless. Amitabha, Dr. Zhong is really the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva, with good medical skills and a better heart, he even took the initiative to say that he was going to have a free clinic today, and let me call Meizi to go with him. While speaking, Deng put his hands together from time to time and chanted a few bodhisattvas.
When Du Mei heard that she was looking for her, she hurriedly came out of the kitchen, and Xu Shi said to her, "Go ahead, learn more from your uncle." ”
"Hmm." Du Mei answered, untied his apron and hung it under the eaves.
Chu Lin hugged Juniper, and when he saw Du Mei leaving, he was really reluctant, but he had to watch with his eyes.
"You go and write a prescription for them." Xu Shi reached out to take Juniper and said in a low voice.
Although these words were light, in Chu Lin's ears, it seemed like an amnesty, and he smiled and bowed: "Thank you, aunt." "Get up and chase Du May.
The stage was empty during the day, Du Huaibing sent his son to set up a long table and chairs under the big willow tree, and the villagers who heard the news surrounded the long table, Du Mingtang had no choice but to find two young students to help maintain order, Zhong Yu could sit down and start to treat patients.
"Uncle Zhong Yu." Du Mei came, and the crowd made way for her.
"Come and help." Zhong Yu was giving a pulse to an uncle, he said lightly, and glanced at the table again.
"Whoa." Dume sat down in a chair behind the long table, when a woman crowded in front of her.
Chu Lin sat next to Du Mei, ready to grind and lay paper.
When Zhong Yu saw that it was him, his eyebrows couldn't help but twist up, he had a large birthmark painted on his face, and the villagers couldn't recognize it, but how could Zhong Yu not know who he was and what kind of identity he was. Zhong Yu secretly wondered, he appeared in Dujiagou so early, which shows that he came last night, could it be that the young lady has acquiesced to this matter?
"You, sit in the middle, so that you can write the recipe." Since he came here to hide his identity, Zhong Yu was happy to pretend to be stupid, but he wanted to see how patient he was.
Hearing this, Chu Lin was not annoyed, not to mention that Zhong Yu was Du Mei's uncle, just his medical skills to bring the dead back to life were worthy of his respect and admiration.
The patients were quickly divided into two groups, women and children, as well as minor illnesses and pains, all came to Du Mei, and some old problems that had accumulated over the years, the villagers were more willing to wait to see Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu opened this free clinic, on the one hand, to take advantage of the three-day excitement to earn a good reputation for Du Mei, and on the other hand, it was also to test her medical skills on the spot.
Today's free clinic, the consultation fee is all free, and the medicine is only half price when you go to Yujitang, this news spreads ten, ten spreads hundreds, and soon people from other villages also come to visit, and the number of people queuing up under the big willow tree is increasing unabated, and the three of them are so busy that they don't even have time to drink.
When He Lian, who traveled lightly, came with his little apprentice Luo Man, he saw the line of people lining up all the way to the entrance of the village.
"Auntie, what is this for?" He Lian pressed the horse's head and asked an old woman beside him suspiciously.
"Doctor Zhong from the town came to the free clinic, Amitabha, well-wishers have good rewards!" The old woman grunted.
"It's better to meet than to meet by chance!" He was overjoyed and urged the horse to move forward.
Soon He Lian saw the three people behind the long table, Du Mei he knew, the middle-aged man didn't need to guess that it was Zhong Yu, and sitting in the middle, with a half-face birthmark, buried in writing the prescription, could it be King Yan?!
He Lian's heart was pounding with fright by this sudden discovery, and Luo Man, who came later, seemed to have doubts, but was stopped by He Lian's eyes.
"Let's let, let's let go, Dr. Zhong show Xiaochun quickly!" A man sweating profusely and carrying a little boy of seven or eight years old ran over.
