Chapter 213: Sick Child
Lu Yu said: "I have seen lotus leaves before, but I have never seen lotus flowers, I want to see them." ”
"I've seen it."
"You've seen it?" Lu Yu was shocked, and asked again: "Shaofang, have you really seen a lotus?" He remembered that a few months ago, Lan Shaofang had said that she had seen lotus leaves.
"yes, I think I've seen it." Lan Shaofang also thought for a while, and then said, "But I don't remember, where I saw it." ”
Among several people, the one who cared most about Lan Shaofang was Yan Xiding, and he asked, "Is it Yangshanli?" ”
"No, there are no lotus leaves in the mountains." Lan Shaofang said: "It was a long, long time ago, and I don't remember where it was. ”
Yan Xiding had to ask again, and heard Lu Yu say: "If you don't remember to think slowly, don't worry." "Lan Shaofang should have seen lotus leaves and lotus flowers when she was very young, and she was not in the mountains and forests at that time. It seems that Lan Shaofang is still very impressed by lotus leaves and lotus leaves, maybe there are lotus leaves and lotus flowers near her former home, and there are many of them.
Yan Xiding asked cautiously: "Shao Fang, do you remember who is in your family?" ”
"I don't remember." Lan Shaofang said without thinking: "I only remember lotus, not people." She tilted her head again and asked, "Do I have a family too?" ”
"Hahaha, of course there is, who in this world doesn't have a family."
"Oh." Lan Shaofang stopped talking, lowered her head and concentrated on the rice.
In the end, before the meal was finished, Lu Yu went to the backyard impatiently.
There was more than one lotus bud in the pool, and Lu Yu counted it, and there were five pink buds in total. In fact, it is not completely pink, it should be a pale white leaf, wrapped in pink flower bones inside. The lotus buds are large, pointy, and long, standing above a calm pool, gently rocking.
"It turns out that the lotus bud is like this, I don't know what it will be like when it blooms." Lu Yu stood by the pool for a while and went back.
The lake in Jinhua City used to have lotus leaves and lotus flowers. Yan Xiding told Lu Yu that after the lotus flowers are gone, they will grow lotus pods, and lotus pods are very delicious.
Lu Yu knew about such a thing as a lotus pod, but he hadn't eaten it.
Yan Xi'an said that the taste of lotus pod is average, and the lotus root is delicious.
So Lu Yu asked her: "When will the lotus root grow?" ”
"Autumn, right? I remember that it was a little cold in the autumn, and some people in the city went to the lake to pick lotus roots. After thinking for a while, Yan Xi'an said again: "I remember that there are also in summer, but at that time they were all tender lotus root (unripe lotus root, white and tender with uniform thickness, very delicious). ”
"Is lotus root suo, delicious?" Lu Yu has eaten lotus roots, section by section, hollow and silky.
"It's delicious, it can be cooked or eaten raw." Yan Xi'an recalled the taste of lotus root and said: "In the past, in the summer, my mother would buy some, and it was the best to use it for stir-fried meat. ”
Lu Yu nodded, thinking: "After a while, the weather is hot, I will also go down to the pool to get some lotus root shuttles and come up to taste them." ”
In the Anding Valley, the seedlings have been built, and Lu Yu is about to sow seeds.
Sowing seeds was not too troublesome, Lu Yu didn't need their help, he carried the rice seeds by himself, and it took less than a morning to finish sowing. After sowing the seeds, they put water on the field and wait for the rice seeds to sprout into seedlings, and then they can be transplanted in 20 days.
Lu Yu calculated that this year's autumn will be particularly busy, because after harvesting rice, it is the season to harvest corn and soybeans.
When I got home in the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Bai came back.
Yan Jibai said that several children were unwell recently, as if they were infected with a cold, so he gave the children a few days off and told them to go home to recuperate.
Lu Yu asked Yan Jibai if he felt unwell, wind and cold were not a serious illness, but they were very contagious.
Yan Yubai said that he was fine, and said that since he drank half a bowl of Lu Yu's blood soup that time, his body never seemed to feel uncomfortable again. Mrs. Yan also said that she hadn't had a cough or fever for a long time.
Lu Yu was a little relieved, the Yan family had drunk his blood, and so did Lu Ming's family. Drinking his own blood seems to be able to prevent and treat diseases, so Lu Yu plans to let Lan Shaofang drink a little as well.
In the evening, someone came to find Lu Yu, it was Lu Defu, the second son of Lu Wuye, Lu Defu came over with his son.
According to the generation, Lu Yu has to call Lu Defu his uncle, Lu Defu's son Lu Xiaodao is just ten years old this year, and he usually calls Lu Yu "Brother Da Yu".
As soon as Lu Defu entered the door, Lu Yu knew what he was doing. Lu Xiaodao was held by his father, his eyes were closed, and he didn't say a word, obviously sick, and he looked quite serious.
"Da Yu, save your little brother, this kid has been studying for a few days, why is he sick like this?"
Lu Yu was a little unhappy, and thought, "If your child is sick, must it have something to do with studying?" But people still have to be saved, Lu Yu said: "Uncle Defu, you take the trail to my house, I'll take a look first." ”
Lu Defu put his son on Lu Yu's bed, and said to Lu Yu with an anxious expression: "Da Yu, what good medicine do you have, just give it to your brother, I will give you as much money as you want." ”
"Hmm." Lu Yu nodded lightly, and then said, "What, Uncle Defu, you go out first, I'll take a look." ”
Lu Defu was a little hesitant, and a look of displeasure flashed on his face, but in the end he went out obediently. Lu Yu wanted to bleed his son for treatment, of course he couldn't let him see it.
A long time ago, Lu Yu was able to let his blood flow out without borrowing a knife. He stretched out a finger, and with a slight movement of his mind, a bead of blood rolled out and condensed on his fingertips.
Dripped the blood beads into Lu Xiaodao's mouth, Lu Yu opened the door and asked people to bring a bowl of water.
"It's not enough to just drink water, Da Yu, where is your magic medicine?"
Lu Yu frowned slightly, and said, "What magic medicine?" ”
"Isn't it the medicine you gave to the people in the village that year to cure chicken plague?" Lu Defu was already a little dissatisfied with Lu Yu's attitude, and he felt that Lu Yu was stingy.
"Hey, Xiaodao is subdued, rest assured." Lu Yu took the warm water handed over by Yan Xi'an, went back to the room to feed Xiaodao and drank it. A small drop of blood needs to be taken with water before it can be absorbed by the trail.
Seeing that Lu Yu only fed his son a bowl of warm water and didn't do anything else, Lu Defu finally couldn't help it, he picked up his son from the bed, walked away without looking back, walked outside Lu Yu's door, and scolded in a low voice: "Who is this, a little medicine is still a treasure?" You are also surnamed Lu. ”
Several people heard Lu Defu's muttering, Yan Xi'an and his brother were very angry, and Lan Shaofang was also very angry after thinking about it.
Lu Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "The other children, I'm afraid they will come today." ”
Yan Xiding asked, "Brother Da Yu, do you still help them?" ”
"I want to help, the little disease just now is not light, and other children don't know if it will be better." Lu Yu was suddenly a little worried, several children suddenly fell ill at the same time, which was a bad sign.
"Hmph, they're all white-eyed wolves." Yan Xiding was angry and angry.
Sure enough, as Lu Yu expected, not long after, someone came to Lu Yu with a child. Lu Yu put blood five times in a row, some of these five children came by themselves, and some were carried or carried by the adults in the family. Those children who had already fallen asleep, Lu Yu directly fed them with his fingers with blood; And those who were still awake, Lu Yu could only go to the kitchen to make a bowl of sparse blood soup.
The last to come was Lao Gao and his family's Xiaocai, Xiaocai was infected with chicken plague that year, and Lu Yu treated it for him. However, at that time, Lu Yu was the kind of "spiritual water" that Lu Yu gave him, and the effect was not as good as blood, and Lu Yu's cultivation at that time was far less than now.
After feeding Xiaocai two drops of blood and pouring him half a bowl of water, Lu Yu said to Lao Gao that his son would get better soon.
Lao Gao believed in Lu Yu very much, but his mood was a little heavy, and he said to Lu Yu: "Alas, I heard that many children are sick, this can't be another plague, right?" ”
Lu Yu didn't know if there was another plague, he could only say: "I hope not, but don't worry, my medicine is still useful." ”
"I'm relieved." Lao Gao said another frustrating word: "If you can't cure Da Yu, no one will be able to cure this disease." ”
Yan Xiding interjected next to him: "If it is not cured, the people in your village will definitely scold Brother Da Yu." ”
Lao Gao knew very well the temperament of the people in this village, and said: "They have this virtue, there is no way." ”
Lu Yu has lived in Yangshan Village for decades, and he knows the "virtue" of the villagers very well, and he doesn't mind, and said: "It's okay, Lao Gao, you tell others, in the past two days, if someone is unwell, has a fever or faints, ask him to come to me." ”
Lao Gao didn't know what kind of "elixir" Lu Yu used to save people, so he asked him: "Then do you still have any medicine?" I'm afraid it won't be enough for the villagers. ”
"And then there's some, as long as there aren't too many sick people, it's enough." Lu Yu thought again, in addition to Yangshan Village, there were many children in the town, and there was also a group of children on the other side of Pingze Lake. He couldn't help but worry, those children didn't know if they were okay.
Lu Yu plans to go to the town tomorrow first, and then go to Pingze Lake to have a look.
After lying at Lu Yu's house for a while, when he left, Xiaocai was already able to walk. He politely said goodbye to Yan Jibai, and thanked Lu Yu respectfully.
Lu Yu praised him with a smile: "The young man who has read books and entered the academy is just different." ”
After Lao Gao left, Lu Yu said that he was going to the town tomorrow.
This time, not only Yan Xi'an will follow, but even Yan Xiding and Lan Shaofang will also be together.
So early the next morning, Lu Yu took the three "little guys" and walked from home to Dunlin Town together. Lu Yu's mood was a little heavy, but the other three people were playing all the way, talking and laughing, so lively.
When I arrived in the town, I went to Lu Ming's house first, and Lu Yu asked Lu Ming if her daughter had been feeling unwell in the past two days.
Lu Ming said that there were many children in the town who were sick, but Jiayu had been in good health, and she didn't seem to have coughed in the past two years. Lu Yu was relieved, and asked Lu Ming again if his daughter would like to go to study for a few days in the school that Yan Jibai opened in the village.
Lu Ming thought about it for a while, and said that it was better to forget it, his daughter went to the village, and he was afraid that Lu Yu would not be able to take care of it.
Lu Yu thinks too, although Jiayu likes herself, but after all, she is a niece, not a daughter, and she may not be able to take care of herself, not to mention that she is usually quite busy. As for Yan Xi'an and the three of them, don't say it.
So Lu Yu thought again: "I have my own child with Xi'an in the future, so who will help take care of it?" ”
