Two more days later, at dusk that day, Yi'er rescued a man from the river.

The fish in the small pond may have been forked by them, and they basically caught nothing in the past two days, so Yi'er took Ling'er down the river bank, trying to find out if there was a new fishing place, but he saw a thing rushing into the river, and when he got closer, he found that it was a person.

Yi'er asked Ling'er to stand on the shore and hold the branch, she grabbed the other end of the branch with one hand and stood in the water, and used the other branch to gouge the man over.

It was a woman, in her thirties, fair-skinned, beautiful, and richly dressed, apparently the wife and grandmother of a wealthy family, who was obviously choking, her face was blue, and she was unconscious.

Yi'er took a lot of effort to get the person ashore, pressed her belly, she spit out a few mouthfuls of water, but the person still didn't wake up, Yi'er had no choice but to help the person back to the small pond with Ling'er.

That night, not only did the woman not wake up, but even Ling'er suddenly fell ill and didn't wake up.

Ling'er's illness came too suddenly, and Yi'er was completely at a loss. Ling'er was cold at first, and Yi'er wrapped two beds of cotton wool around her, and she screamed cold.

Yi'er was a little panicked, not because of Ling'er's illness itself, but because of the timing of Ling'er's illness! First chills and then fever, this is the typical symptom of this time plague, at this time Ling'er fell ill, that is, the cheap child no longer wanted, and had to think in that direction!

Ling'er moaned all night, and the only thing Yi'er could do was to wrap Ling'er tightly with cotton wool, and then she held the whole person tightly in her arms with cotton wool, and unconsciously patted her hands to survive the whole night!

When Yi'er woke up the next morning, she found that the woman she had rescued from the river yesterday had woken up, and she was sitting up and looking at her without blinking.

Yi'er probed Ling'er's forehead, the little girl had stopped muttering, and she didn't know if she was asleep or unconscious, she looked a lot quieter, but Yi'er's heart sank little by little, although the temperature of Ling'er's forehead was not hot, but it was obvious that it had begun to heat up!

The woman spoke: "Girl, did you save me?" ”

"I just pulled my wife up from the river, and I can't really talk about saving it."

The woman was stunned, if she only looked at the literal meaning of Yi'er's words, she was a little indifferent, but Yi'er's expression was quite kind, but she was obviously a little worried about the little girl in her arms, so she seemed a little absent-minded! The woman smiled and said, "If the girl doesn't pull me up from the river, I'm afraid that I will be buried in the belly of the fish long ago. ”

Yi'er put Ling'er down, only pulled a bed of cotton wool, and covered her.

The woman looked at it and said, "Is this your sister?" ”

Yi'er snorted.

"She doesn't seem to be doing well, why don't you go to the doctor?"

Yi'er was a little speechless, this is obviously a noble lady who is used to being pampered, how can she know the hardships of these poor people? She thought for a while and said, "Madame may not know, we have been out of food for many days, not only us, but also dozens of miles away, if we want to find a ration, we may be looking for a needle in a haystack!" I don't even have anything to eat, where is there a doctor, and there are still medicinal materials for healing? ”

The woman was stunned again, then reacted, and said, "You started to say that you can't save me from the river, and it's because of this?" ”

Yi'er's mood was a little low, as if she was talking to herself and answering a woman's words, and said: "Sometimes I feel that drowning in the water is actually no different from starving to death on the shore!" ”

The woman was a little curious: "Then why did you save me?" ”

Yi'er took a deep breath: "If I don't pull you ashore, maybe you will die soon, pull you up, you can always stay up for a while, after all, only alive can there be hope!" ”

The woman looked at Yi'er with some approval and sighed, "I can't imagine that you can say such things at such a young age!" ”

Yi'er smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have always believed that as long as I live, there will be hope, but ......" bit her lip and paused before continuing, "But now, I don't know, I really don't know!" ”

The woman glanced at the unconscious Ling'er, and her heart was already clear, and she couldn't help but be moved by Yi'er's concern for her sister, she thought about it and said with a smile: "There is hope, there will always be hope in life." Don't be sad, girl, I think it won't be long before someone will come looking for me, and there will be a doctor among them! ”

Of course, the woman's words were not empty words, in fact, it did not take long, and someone came to her before noon, but Yi'er spent half a day in restlessness, and felt that time passed very slowly!

There were more than a dozen people here, all of them men, at least seven or eight of them, wearing black suits, tigers and tigers, and they looked like bodyguards and the like. The leader of these people is a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a Confucian robe, with an extraordinary bearing, this person's surname is Du, and the rest of the people call him Master Du, of course, this person also has an identity, it is the husband of the woman that Yi'er rescued.

Obviously, Master Du was very nervous about his wife's disappearance, and his face was full of anxiety, but the moment he saw the woman, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't hide his extreme surprise at all.

has a deep affection for Mr. Du and his wife, where can Yi'er take care of it, she is full of thoughts about this group of people, who is the doctor that Mrs. Du said?

Fortunately, the joy of Mrs. Du's reunion has not forgotten Yi'er, only a few words with Mr. Du, then mentioned Yi'er, Mr. Du learned that it was Yi'er who saved Mrs., he was full of gratitude, and immediately ordered an old man in his fifties who was dressed up for a show to come forward and call for Ling'er!

This old man's surname is Qin, and he has an interesting name, called Qin Guosan! Yi'er always felt that this person didn't look like a doctor, to the point of being a charlatan who ran the rivers and lakes, but as the so-called people can't look good, and now that Ling'er's illness has all fallen on this person, Yi'er certainly doesn't dare to show the slightest doubt and snubbing in the reluctance.

It's just that Qin Guosan just caught Ling'er's hand, and his whole body trembled violently like an electric shock, and then he hurriedly reached out and looked at Ling'er's eyelids, his face suddenly changed greatly, and the person hurriedly stood up, took two steps back, and blurted out: "Plague!" ”

The word plague is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, except for Yi'er, everyone retreats.

Mrs. Du was also shocked, seeing that Yi'er was standing there in a daze and didn't move, she stretched out her hand to pull Yi'er, but Master Du was quick and pulled Mrs. Du out of the room.

Mrs. Du was a little anxious and said, "Girl, you come first!" ”

Yi'er looked at Mrs. Du and said, "No, she has been with me these days, and I'm fine, how can she be a plague?" Madam, believe me, Ling'er really can't get the plague, you also saw it, I hugged her last night, you see, I'm not doing nothing now? Madam, let Mr. Qin take a look at it again, how could she be infected with the plague? ”

Mrs. Du was a little embarrassed, Master Du had already looked at Qin Guosan, Qin Guosan bowed and said: "Back to the master, the medical skills of the three are shallow, but the symptoms of the plague in the northern three states are particularly obvious. ”

Master Du nodded, then looked at Yi'er, and said, "Girl, the plague is not a joke, you come over first, and then we will discuss how to deal with this little girl!" ”

Yi'er only felt that her legs were weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground, she shook her head vigorously, and the person came to her senses, and suddenly threw herself in front of Mrs. Du, hugged Mrs. Du's legs, and said: "Madam, Yi'er, please, save Ling'er, she is only six years old, only six years old, you can do well, save her......"

Mrs. Du couldn't bear it, so she had to help Yi'er up, and sighed: "Girl, it's not that we didn't save her, but she was infected with the plague!" ”

"Even if it's a plague, a plague is a disease, madam, you save her, maybe she'll have a big life, just cure it!"

Qin Guosan shook his head and said, "Little girl, you can still be cured if you have the plague, you have never heard of such a thing after living all your life." Don't be too sad, it's all her life! ”

Yi'er shook her head desperately and said, "No, it's not life!" Madame, didn't you also say that as long as you live there is hope, she is not dead, she is still breathing, she is still alive, she is not dead, ma'am! Madam, Yi'er begs you, you save her, Yi'er will spend the rest of her life as a cow and a horse to repay your great kindness! Oh yes, the consultation fee, the consultation fee, the consultation fee I have! Speaking without words, Yi'er reached out and touched her body, and finally took off the jade pendant hanging on her chest, stuffed it into Mrs. Du's hand indiscriminately, and said, "I have a consultation fee, madam, please, please save her!" ”

Mrs. Du had tears in her eyes, she felt that her throat was a little choked, she held Yi'er's hand hard, and was about to speak, when her eyes happened to fall on the jade pendant that Yi'er stuffed into her hand, and she was suddenly stunned, only to look at the jade pendant in her hand almost stupidly!

Seeing that Mrs. Du's expression was different, Master Du also looked over, the moment his eyes fell on the jade pendant, the same whole body shook, his eyes were almost unbelievably staring at the jade pendant, his hand was raised with some trembling, pointing at the jade pendant, and said in a trembling voice: "This jade pendant, this jade pendant is yours?" ”

Yi'er's mind was in a trance, she didn't see the strangeness of Mr. Du and his wife at all, and when she heard Mr. Du's question, she seemed to have grasped the last hope, and said: "I know that this jade pendant is not worth much, if the old lady likes it, I just ask you to save Ling'er, this jade pendant is the right to be a diagnosis gold, if it is not enough, Yi'er will be a cow and a horse in the future, and he must have earned enough silver taels, and he will thank you for your great kindness!" ”
