Chapter Seventy-Five: Wuwei Medical Hall
"A little sister who married with me is also... is also the one who rescued me from Qinxiang Building! ”
She gritted her teeth and said the words in her mouth, looked up at him quietly, sure enough, there was no trace of surprise in his eyes, she didn't guess wrong, he already knew about the sale of Qin Xianglou!
"Accurate!" Mu Lingzhi's eyebrows unconsciously brought a smile to her eyes, she was finally willing to open up with herself!
Officially with Mu Lingzhi's permission, Yu Ruyan was like a bird flying out of the cage, and she didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment, and the next morning, when the sky was still bright, she got up and went out of the house to find Brother An.
The last time Qin Xianglou said goodbye, it has been a long time since she saw Brother An, every time Xiaodao came back, she simply said that Brother An was okay and asked her not to worry, but she still wanted to see her in person, and she wanted to know what happened to her after escaping from the barracks, how could she fall into the Qinglou?
She couldn't wait for the carriage to stop, she couldn't wait to jump off the carriage, found the small courtyard where she lived, and knocked on the door excitedly.
The yard was not closed, as soon as Yu Ruyan's hand touched it, it opened by itself, she raised her feet and walked in, and saw the knife dancing in the yard at a glance, and couldn't help shouting happily: "Knife, I've come to see you!" ”
With her shout, Xiaodao turned around, and when he saw that it was her, a trace of panic flashed on his face, and he hurriedly came up and looked around vigilantly, and said with concern: "Why did my sister leave the house?" Alone? ”
Yu Ruyan pinched his beautiful face happily and smiled playfully: "From today on, I am free, as long as I am free, I can go out of the house to find you and Brother An." ”
At the mention of Brother An, Xiaodao's face darkened, his expression was a little panicked, and he snorted: "Sister ran over without a sound, we were not prepared at all!" ”
Yu Ruyan looked at the panicked look on his face with sharp eyes, and her heart was cold, thinking that she had been here for a while but didn't see Brother An come out, if it had been usual, she would have already rushed to her side!
"Where's Brother An?" Yu Ruyan's heart suddenly swelled with a bad premonition, and before the words fell, she heard the window in the east room 'bang' slammed, looked up, and saw that the window of the room was closed, and the thick curtain was closed in the daytime.
Seeing this, Xiaodao hurriedly stopped her, and said anxiously: "Sister, Brother An just took medicine and fell asleep, you might as well come and see her another day!" ”
"What do you sleep in the morning?" Yu Ruyan was flustered and confused in her heart, she glared at the knife, looked straight into his eyes and refused to blink, and said coldly: "What's wrong with Brother An?" What are you hiding from me? ”
Xiaodao shrank his neck by her gaze, but his hand was still unwilling to let go, and he pulled her and said: "She really just drank medicine and fell asleep, my sister will definitely see her when she comes back another day, I will send you back now." ”
Where is Yu Ruyan willing to believe? She rushed to the door with a knife shake in her hand, but the door was firmly bolted from the inside, she ran to the window and shouted: "Brother An, it's me, you open the door quickly!" ”
However, no matter how she shouted, there was no movement in the house, looking at the dark window, Yu Ruyan's heart couldn't help but sink, she knew that something must have happened to Brother An!
At this moment, there was a suppressed sobbing sound in the house, and the sound of sorrowful sobbing made Yu Ruyan sad to hear!
Turning back to look at the courtyard, she turned back and picked up a stool from the courtyard, gritted her teeth, raised it high and smashed it towards the door—
"Brother An, I will definitely see you today, even if I smash this wall, I will smash you out!"
The loud sound of 'bang' alarmed the nearby neighbors, and people came out of the yard one after another, seeing Yu Ruyan slamming the door, they couldn't help covering their mouths and noses and moving away, and their faces showed disgust.
The door was not smashed, but there were more and more onlookers, and the sound of everyone's discussion gradually reached the ears of Yu Ruyan and Xiao Dao, Yu Ruyan was stunned when she heard this, she couldn't believe what she heard, her hands slipped, and she couldn't even hold the corner of the stool. When the knife saw it, he drew the saber on his body and pointed at everyone, and said fiercely: "Get out, if you chew your tongue here again, the master will cut off all your tongues and feed them to the dogs!" ”
The cold and shining blade frightened the onlookers and scattered, and the ears were quiet, Yu Ruyan recovered from the shock, and the next second, she mustered up all the strength to pick up the stool and continue to smash the door, however, this time the stool in her hand was not removed, but the door suddenly opened from the inside!
The door opened suddenly, and the scene inside was not visible in the dark doorway, and it was already bright at this time, but the window of the room was covered with thick curtains, and it was as dark as night!
Yu Ruyan couldn't wait to step into the threshold, the air in the room seemed to be very turbid, mixed with a bad smell, she didn't care about so much, three steps and two steps ran in, but saw that in the dark room, only a small candle was burning next to the bed in the middle of the room, illuminating the place next to the bed an inch wide, in a small halo, a thin and sallow woman curled up unkempt and sat on the ground next to the bed, her head pressed into her knees, and her whole body trembled like a residual leaf in the wind!
Yu Ruyan slowly approached the girl's side with a shocked face, as soon as she touched the girl's hand, she couldn't stop shaking, Yu Ruyan felt bitter in her heart, her eyes were red, and her voice trembled: "Brother An, is it you?" ”
When the girl on the ground heard this, she immediately hid to the side, and when her body moved, a puddle of dirty yellow liquid flowed out from under her body, and a foul smell suddenly filled the entire room.
"Please, princess... Please, go away! ”
Brother An's voice was like a kite with broken strings, as if it would float away with the wind in the next moment. She still refused to raise her head to face Yu Ruyan, and desperately hid in the corner.
Yu Ruyan couldn't believe that the innocent and lovely Brother An was actually this devastated woman on the ground, she looked at everything in front of her in a daze, as if she had fallen into a terrible dream, she didn't understand, how did the good Brother An become like this?
I was so sad that I couldn't breathe, Brother An had been with her since she was eight years old when she was re-admitted to the palace, she was half a year younger than her, the two have been dependent on each other like sisters, before in the palace of Qi State, every time Yu Ruyan was punished and beaten, Brother An had to take half of it for her, and before she was in Qin Xianglou, she risked her life to protect her from escape, this lot of kindness has been deeply pressed in Yu Ruyan's heart, she always hopes that one day she can give Brother An a good life, find a good husband for her, let her live a stable and happy life, However, I didn't expect that when I came to see her happily today, she became such a pitiful appearance that was neither human nor ghost!
Sadness came from it, Yu Ruyan's eyes were sore and uncomfortable, she stepped forward and hugged Brother An on the ground into her arms, touched her messy and rough head, and said sadly: "Brother An, no matter what you have become, I will not dislike you, let alone give up on you, you must obediently listen to me, I will take you to the doctor now, I must cure your illness······"
Brother An struggled to push her away, but was hugged tightly by Yu Ruyan, "Brother An, you have to cheer up, there is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome, everything will pass, it will pass······"
Hiding in her arms, Brother An finally couldn't help crying loudly, she was just a little girl after all, although she had suffered a lot with Yu Ruyan before, she had never experienced so much pain and embarrassment like now, especially when Qin Xianglou's people beat the child in her belly alive, she was in pain······
Yu Ruyan had been quietly hugging her, and after a long time, Brother An's emotions calmed down slightly, she put away her crying, covered her face with her hands and said in pain: "Princess, I have become such a shameful person now, I don't want to live in this world anymore, but... It's just..."
She eagerly clenched Yu Ruyan's hand, stared at Yu Ruyan with dark eyes, and pleaded desperately: "Princess, if you really pity me, please avenge me, avenge the child who died in my womb!" I... I don't have the courage to continue living! ”
Yu Ruyan was stunned when she heard this, she pulled Brother An out without saying a word, and was about to go out to the sun, Brother An screamed and ran into the house again, Yu Ruyan grabbed her from behind, dragged her to the yard hard, and said fiercely: "I won't help you take revenge." If you want to get justice for yourself, if you want to avenge your child, go yourself. If you don't live, will your enemies be sad? I'm the only one who is sad! ”
Brother An's whole body was shocked, and he looked back at Yu Ruyan very slowly, tears slipped down his salallow face one by one, and disappeared into the dust.
After a long time, a trace of despair and unwillingness flashed in his gray eyes, his thin hands slowly clenched into fists, gritted his teeth to suppress the trembling of his whole body, and said firmly: "Princess, I-listen to you!" ”
Hearing her say this, Yu Ruyan's heart relaxed, and she took her hand with a bitter smile, her eyes were red, "You are obedient, I will go and boil water for you to bathe now, and then I will take you to see the doctor after I clean up!" ”
Hearing her words, Brother An and Xiaodao were both stunned, Brother An swallowed what he wanted to say and swallowed again, hesitated for a moment and nodded vigorously. Yu Ruyan helped her into the house, opened all the curtains, and opened the windows to ventilate, she asked Brother An to go to bed and lie down, and went to the kitchen to boil water.
Xiao Dao sneaked into the kitchen with an uneasy expression, and saw that Yu Ruyan was busy pouring water into the pot, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help, but she knocked her hand away with a spoon.
Yu Ruyan didn't look at him, her face was gloomy, she poured the water and turned to the stove to make a fire, and the knife wanted to step forward, but she quickly shrank aside in fear when her eyes stared.
"Sister······
"Don't talk to me!"
"Sister, it's really not that I deliberately hide it from you, it's that Brother An himself is not allowed to tell you, saying that he is afraid of you... I'm afraid you're upset and worried! The knife's obsidian-like eyes looked pitifully at Yu Ruyan like a deer's eyes, and her beautiful face was twisted together, "Sister, don't ignore me, I'm most afraid that you will ignore me!" ”
"If I hadn't come today, would you have to wait until Brother An died of illness to tell me?" Yu Ruyan glared at him angrily, "If that's really the case, will my conscience be at ease?" Do I want to sleep soundly for the rest of my life? You don't know ······ in Qin"
She wanted to tell Xiaodao that Brother An had tried his best to save her from Qin Xianglou, but after thinking about it, if she let him know about Qin Xianglou, she was afraid that he would impulsively burn down Qin Xianglou!
The knife pinched his ears with both hands and squatted in front of Yu Ruyan, pouting his mouth and saying dejectedly: "Sister, you can beat me!" ”
Yu Ruyan glanced at the pitiful jade knife squatting on the ground, she was angry and funny in her heart, she straightened her face and said seriously: "Give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, do you want it?" ”
"Yes! As long as my sister forgives me! When the knife heard this, he jumped up from the ground excitedly, salivated in front of Yu Ruyan, rubbed his head on her shoulder, and was overjoyed!
"When Brother An recovers from her illness, you take her back to Qi Country and go to Putuo Temple to find my uncle, and let him take you in for a while!"
As soon as the words fell, Yu Xiaodao's face changed greatly, he raised his head with a snort, and shouted to Yu Ruyan angrily: "You want to go together, if you stay here, I won't leave!" ”
Yu Ruyan said angrily: "This is Brother An's sad place, I don't want her to stay here and think about the sad things in the past, Putuo Temple is far away in the mountains, quiet and livable, it is best to send her there to recuperate······"
"Now it's unknown whether the doctor will be good or not!" Xiaodao replied in a panic, and he regretted it as soon as he said it.
"What are you talking about, what are you hiding from me?" Sure enough, Yu Ruyan's face sank when she heard this, and she stared at his eyes and asked sternly.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Xiaodao lowered his head and said angrily: "Brother An's illness has been seen by many doctors before, and when the doctor he found saw her like this, he was either scared away or unwilling to be treated. A few of the people I forced to see a doctor also said that the treatment was not good... The mother-in-law who invited to take care of her also refused to do it······"
Yu Ruyan's face turned white little by little, and her whole body was like falling into an ice cave-
If, if it's really like the knife said, Brother An has no medicine, what will she do? Is it just watching her die of illness?
No, no, the world is so big, there must be a famous doctor who can cure Brother An's illness, I think back then, she was poisoned all over her body, and only half of her breath was saved by the master, Brother An can still say that she can leave, why can't she be cured?
She grabbed the knife with her hand, her nails dug into his flesh, and she trembled: "Tell me, what disease does Brother An have?" ”
Xiaodao's face turned red, and he was rarely shy, and he looked at her with an anxious face in embarrassment, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
In the end, he bit his teeth and tilted his head to the side before telling Yu Ruyan.
It turned out that Brother An was pregnant before being sold into Qin Xianglou, how could a pregnant girl be tolerated in the Qinglou, and Brother An had been swearing to resist and unwilling to accept customers, so Qiu's mother ordered the nursing home to punch and kick her, and took the life of the child in her womb······
However, she was dragged to pick up guests without a trace of rest in her body, and the lochia in her body was not cleared, she was left in her body to do evil, and unfortunately contracted Hualiu disease, and finally she was beaten up for saving Yu Ruyan and offended Qiu's mother, if it weren't for Yu Ruyan to let Uncle Chen redeem her from the building, I am afraid that her life would have been lost to a pile of dry bones······
Xiaodao said sullenly: "The doctor said that if the clothes don't come out for a day, Brother An's life will be lost, but because the time is too long, that thing has been... It's grown in the flesh. ”
With a stumble, Yu Ruyan almost fell to the ground, she supported the stove with her hands, her eyes were gray, and she muttered in disbelief: "Could it be..." Is there really no cure? ”
If the master is still alive, he should have a way to save Brother An.
Her whole body shook, and she suddenly came back to her senses from discouragement and despair—
Yes, the world is so big, if there is a second person who is as skilled as a master!
She can't give up, if she even gives up, what will Brother An do? She's only sixteen!
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and cheered up, squeezing out a smile on her face that was more ugly than crying, looking at the young man in front of her, thinking that in her absence, he had been taking care of Brother An, but she didn't know before and blamed him-
"Brother An, I'm sorry, my sister doesn't know······ Thank you! ”
Xiaodao grinned indifferently: "It's good that my sister doesn't have the anger of Xiaodao anymore!" ”
After Brother An finished bathing, Yu Ruyan took her out of the door, the knife drove the carriage, and the three of them began to seek medical treatment from various hospitals in the Eastern Capital.
However, no matter how many houses they left, they were all taken out, and the knife was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword several times, but Yu Ruyan stopped him.
"Sister, why don't such doctors teach them a lesson? Today, we must ask them to see Brother An's doctor. Xiaodao was so angry that his eyes were red, but he couldn't help but listen to Yu Ruyan's words.
Yu Ruyan's heart was sour, her eyes were cold, and she said coldly: "Such a doctor, even if he is reluctant to let Brother An see a doctor, he will not be dedicated, and perfunctory things will only delay Brother An's time." Let's go, I believe - there is no end to the road! ”
A beggar mother-in-law on the side of the road heard the words of the two, and couldn't help but say kindly: "Girl, there is a medical hall in Qisan Alley, which is specially designed to treat us poor people, and we don't charge money, but we don't say anything, the doctor's medical skills are also very good, my old cold leg is what he helped me cure, the girl might as well go there and try it!" ”
Hearing this, Yuruyan's heart swelled with a glimmer of light, she took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the old woman, thanking her!
On the way to Qisan Lane, looking at Yu Ruyan's hopeful face, Xiaodao was worried in his heart, worried that his hope would be disappointed again, and he couldn't help but remind: "Sister, don't have too much hope, what if he doesn't want to help Brother An heal?" ”
Yu Ruyan said in an affirmative tone: "He is willing to volunteer for homeless beggars to see a doctor, he is definitely a kind-hearted person with noble morals, I believe he will be willing to help Brother An!" ”
Qisan Lane was not far from where they were, and most of the people living here were poor, so they asked all the way and soon found the hospital that the old woman had said.
The medical hall is built in an inconspicuous small courtyard, and there is a plaque hanging at the door, with the inscription 'Wuwei Medical Center'. Yu Ruyan helped Brother An push the door in, only to see that the courtyard was full of poor people in rags, and a young man in Tsing Yi saw them come in, and without saying a word, he gave them a bamboo sign with a number written on it, leading them to the side to sit down and wait.
After waiting for almost an hour, the people in front of them finished seeing the doctor, and finally it was their turn, Yu Ruyan happily hurriedly accompanied Brother An into the house-
Lifting the curtain, I saw a white-clothed son sitting peacefully in front of the small table, looking down at the medical book in front of him, the warm winter sun through the window lattice, casting a deep and shallow light and shadow on him, there was a taste of dust like a fairy.
The long eyelashes cast a small shadow on the eyelids, and when he heard the sound, he looked up, and his eyes were facing each other, and both sides couldn't help but be stunned!
Yu Ruyan never expected that the doctor of the Wuwei Medical Center turned out to be Yue Yu!
Yue Yu didn't seem to expect to see Yu Ruyan here, he was stunned for a moment before standing up, with a light smile on his face, asking them to sit down in front of him, and said gently: "I didn't expect you to know here?" ”
Yu Ruyan grinned and said happily: "The greater the divine doctor hanging the pot to help the world without asking for anything in return, his reputation is far away, like thunder, it is difficult to know it!" ”
It's really good, the doctor here turned out to be Yue Yu, he will definitely do his best to heal Brother Zhi!
Yue Yu smiled lightly, glanced at Brother An, who bowed his head and was silent, his expression tightened, and motioned for her to stretch out his hand, put his hand on her pulse, and concentrate on cutting her pulse.
The time of half a pillar of incense passed, Yue Yu slowly withdrew his hand, his pale face was a little tired, a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he raised his eyes to look at Yu Ruyan with an expectant face, his clear eyes were shining, and he said slowly: "If you believe me, give her to me!" ”
Hearing such words, Yu Ruyan's whole body relaxed, and the joy in her suppressed heart was suppressed, and she nodded firmly, "I believe you!" ”
In order to facilitate treatment, Brother An stayed directly in the hospital, settled her, and looked at the hour, it was already noon, and she was going back.
Yue Yu was looking through the medicinal herbs in the yard, and when she saw her coming out, she smiled and said, "It's not too early, let's leave after eating!" ”
Yu Ruyan hesitated for a moment and agreed with a smile.
I thought that Yue Yu was leaving herself to eat in the medical hall, but I didn't expect him to take her directly to the Jade Pavilion in a carriage, Yu Zhongyan knew that the things in the Jade Pavilion were very expensive, so he excused himself and said: "Just go to any restaurant to eat, I am grateful for your promise to help me take care of Brother An, how can I be embarrassed to let you break the bank?" ”
Yue Yu smiled lightly, his eyebrows and eyes were as warm as jade, "Don't you know that I have a lot of money?" Besides, if I go to my own restaurant to eat, it can be regarded as fat and water does not flow into the fields of outsiders! ”
She was shocked, she didn't expect that the Jade Pavilion was his family's property!
After thinking about it, he is a world-famous giant, and the small Jade Pavilion is nothing to him!
When the shopkeeper of the Jade Pavilion saw them come in, he hurriedly greeted them in person and led them to the best private room on the second floor.
Mu Ziyue heard the advice of her subordinates, the paintbrush in her hand froze, and the ink fell on the snow-white painting paper with a click, and a good picture of red plum and snow was wasted-
"What do you say? The person the went to find turned out to be ······"
Since the last assassination, Mu Ziyue couldn't think of who wanted to kill her, and finally put her suspicious eyes on Yu Ruyan. So, she sent someone to quietly observe and follow Yu Ruyan.
Not only did she suspect that the assassin had something to do with Yu Ruyan, but she had fought with her a few times, but she always felt that this lowly servant girl was far beyond her imagination, and that there was no ordinary servant girl as bold as her, and not only did she not have the servility that other slaves should have, but it seemed that she had never taken her as the eldest lady of the Xiangfu in her eyes!
This is so unreasonable!
However, now that she heard the next person coming, the person Yu Ruyan saw after leaving the house turned out to be the cheap girl who pestered her brother at the beginning and was later sold into the Qinglou by her mother, and she suddenly realized that it was she who helped Yu Ruyan escape from Qinxiang Mansion last time!
She occasionally heard her brother mention that when Brother An was by Mu Ziyang's side, he had been begging him to help find someone, could it be that the person she was looking for was Yu Ruyan?
It seemed that a bright light flashed in Mu Ziyue's mind, and many of the previous puzzled places seemed to be clearly understood-
It seems that if you want to know the identity of that, you can only start from Brother An!
As soon as Mu Ziyue thought of being able to expose Yu Ruyan's true identity, the worries and worries of the past few days were suddenly swept away, and her eyes lit up with excitement and cruelty.
