Chapter 53: The stupid son of the Chu family
"It's not very good. The toxin in Madame's body spreads very quickly, and I can only slow it down with all my might. Meng Donghai said in a deep voice.
"Have you been in a coma all the time?" Meng Donghai asked again.
During the interrogation, he was already sitting on the edge of the bed and checking his pulse.
"Yes, I have been in a coma, and the medication is ineffective, so it can only be slowed down by acupuncture." Meng Donghai said.
Hua Guohua didn't speak, quietly felt the beating of his pulse, and after a moment of silence, he stood up and walked towards the table outside, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.
"Autumn falls, you go to grab the medicine, and then guard the medicine jar to decoct the medicine, and write the time on it." After Hua Guohua wrote the prescription, he handed it to Bai Qiuluo.
Bai Qiuluo took it and said hello.
Because Mrs. Chu's illness was menacing, when Meng Donghai came, he had already brought a lot of medicinal materials, so there was no shortage.
After Bai Qiuluo grabbed all the medicines, he went to the kitchen to decoct the medicines.
"Doctor Hua, isn't it inappropriate to let a little girl decoct the medicine?" After Bai Qiuluo left, Li Chaoran couldn't help asking.
Hua Guohua glanced at him and said lightly: "Qiuluo is the old man's closed disciple, studying medicine by the old man's side, although she has not yet become a teacher, but such a trivial matter as decoction is still difficult for her." What's the matter, Steward Li has an opinion? ”
Li Chaoran hurriedly said: "No, it turned out to be the old man's apprentice, I had seen her before, but it wasn't at the time, so I was a little confused." ”
As he spoke, Li Chaoran's gaze swept over Mrs. Chu lying on the bed without a trace, with worry buried in his eyes.
"Doctor Hua took the white girl as an apprentice? Why haven't you heard of it before? Chu Xing on the side was a little surprised.
"Chu Yuanwai still calls me by my name, the old man is not a doctor, he can't stand it." Hearing the words Taiyi, Hua Guohua's eyes flashed with a gloomy and cold expression.
"It's Chu who is abrupt. I don't know if the illness of the inner person is serious? Chu Xing smiled apologetically and asked instead.
"It doesn't matter if you know after taking the medicine, no one can make a conclusion at this time." Hua Guohua replied without leaking.
On the other side, Bai Qiuluo made a good water, put the medicinal herbs in the medicine jar and began to boil.
She sat on the steps, staring a little vacantly at a point in the courtyard.
There was a boy about her age, digging in the mud.
Dig the mud!
Bai Qiuluo was a little speechless.
The little ghosts of these years are too boring, right, don't you have anything to play? It's so big and digging in the mud.
Just as she was thinking about this, the child ran to her side quickly, looking at her with a pair of big eyes that were particularly clean, "Sister, play." ”
Maybe his eyes were too clean, even if his body was dirty, but Bai Qiuluo couldn't be malicious to him.
"Play what? Mud? Bai Qiuluo pulled the hair that fell on his chest behind his ears and said softly.
"Hmm." He smiled, grinned, and showed a mouthful of white teeth, looking exceptionally clean. While laughing, he nodded his head very hard, as if to show his will.
"Sister still has something to do, I can't play with you, can you play by yourself?" Bai Qiuluo felt a little strange, this child's IQ seemed to be a little off-line? That smile and his demeanor just now were full of stupidity, did she feel wrong?
"Sister, play, go, play." He spread his hands, and there was a clay figure in the palm of his hand, seeing that Bai Qiuluo ignored him, he reached out to grab her again, and the force was so strong that Bai Qiuluo, who was caught, frowned.
"Hey, it's really not good, I still have something to ......" Bai Qiuluo looked helpless, looking at his reddened eyes, but he was reluctant to refuse.
Just when he was stunned, a family member ran out and grabbed him.
"Miss Bai, I'm sorry, my eldest young master, he has a problem here." The guy pointed to his head and said, "You can decoct the medicine with peace of mind, I'll take him to play." ”
"I see, okay." Bai Qiu nodded subconsciously.
No wonder he behaved so strangely, too innocent, it turned out to be a fool.
But why did she feel weird?
Just when Bai Qiuluo was confused, he raised his eyes and saw a look.
When the child turned his head to look at her, he was strange and a little angry, but when he swept his gaze across the medicine altar, there was a little pity.
Bai Qiuluo's heart suddenly tightened.
Why, did she think that gaze was so strange?
However, before she could see it clearly, the next person had already led him out of the courtyard.
Bai Qiuluo could only suppress the confusion in his heart, and honestly sat on the edge of the medicine altar guarding the medicine.
After the medicine was boiled, she took the medicine to Mrs. Chu's room.
She had just stepped into Mrs. Chu's courtyard, but she was hit by the huge force that suddenly rushed out from it and took a few steps back, and the tray in her hand suddenly turned over, and the hot medicinal juice spilled onto her hands, and also splashed on the body of the person who hit her.
"Are you alright?" Bai Qiuluo couldn't care about the pain in his hand, so he hurriedly asked.
The person who hit her was Chu Juncai, the one he just met, the stupid young master.
Chu Juncai seemed to know that he was in trouble, and looked at Bai Qiuluo with a helpless expression, pursed his lips, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry.
When everyone in the house heard the commotion, they came out one after another.
As soon as Chu Xing saw Chu Juncai standing opposite Bai Qiuluo, he immediately became nervous, strode to Chu Juncai's side, grabbed him and asked, "Juncai, what's wrong?" Who bullied you? ”
"No one, sister......" Chu Juncai pointed at Bai Qiuluo, and his words were not clear.
Bai Qiuluo saw Chu Xing looking at her, so she explained: "I came in with the medicine just now, and the eldest young master happened to come over, so I spilled the medicine." The eldest young master has been splashed, so it's better to find someone to see if there are any burns. ”
When Chu Xing heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to take Chu Juncai down to change clothes.
"White girl, are you alright? My child had a serious illness when he was a child, and he has been like this since he got better, and he doesn't like people to treat him, and when a doctor comes, he loses his temper and makes a lot of noise, and there is no rule ......of law," Chu Xing said with a sigh.
Bai Qiuluo could feel his fatherly love for Chu Juncai from his words, raised his eyes and glanced at the direction Chu Juncai left, frowning slightly.
"I see." Bai Qiuluo bowed his head lightly, and then said: "I've sprinkled the medicine that Mrs. has boiled, I'll go and refill a bowl of it." ”
Bai Qiuluo said as he picked up the trays and bowl fragments on the ground and headed towards the kitchen.
When he arrived at the kitchen, Bai Qiuluo poured a bowl of medicine again, but when he smelled the medicine bowl, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
She was a little unsure, so she didn't say anything, but walked towards Mrs. Chu's room with the medicine.
When she got to the house, she said, "Master, Mrs. Chu is sick, is it better to cooperate with acupuncture when drinking medicine?" ”
Hua Guohua was obviously stunned for a moment, but looking at the clear light in Bai Qiuluo's eyes, he seemed to understand something, and nodded slightly: "That's true." ”
"Master, it's best not to have idle people waiting when applying needles, otherwise it will be affected." Bai Qiuluo looked serious.
Hua Guohua couldn't figure out what medicine she was selling in her gourd, but she still nodded cooperatively.
Meng Donghai on the side said bluntly: "It turns out that this disease needs acupuncture and moxibustion combined with medication, no wonder I couldn't do the same before." ”
Bai Qiuluo held back his laughter for a while.
Meng Donghai had already said to Chu Xing and Li Chaoran: "Outside Chu Yuan, Steward Li, let's go out and wait outside, and then come in after Mrs. Chu has used the medicine." ”
"Why go out and wait? Never before! Chu Xing has not objected yet, and Li Chaoran took the lead.
His gaze at Bai Qiuluo was full of scrupulous and ruthless.
Meng Donghai said: "Didn't you listen to my master and sister? A quiet environment is required for needle administration. ”
"Even so, it should be more suitable for Doctor Meng to be assisted, no matter how talented the white girl is, she hasn't been able to get started for long, right?"
In the face of Li Chaoran's reluctance, Hua Guohua said lightly: "Qiuluo is a girl's house, which is more convenient." If you want to fill the medicine when applying the needle for a while, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, Qiuluo is a girl's family, and she will take better care of Mrs. Chu. ”
Chu Xing said lightly when he heard this: "Chaoran, go out with me." Doctor Hua, the insider will ask you. ”
After saying that, he headed out the door.
Although Li Chaoran was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only follow him out.
In a blink of an eye, only Hua Guohua and Bai Qiuluo were left inside.
"Tell me, what is the purpose of acting in this play for the teacher?" When everyone left, Hua Guohua asked in a low voice.
His face was cold, and he didn't have the cooperation of Fang Cai in front of people.
Bai Qiuluo knew that if he didn't give him a satisfactory explanation, the master would be angry.
"Master, you smell this." Bai Qiuluo hurriedly handed him the medicine bowl with a cautious expression.
Hua Guohua glanced at her, looked down suspiciously and sniffed the medicine, then frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Funeral tail flower." How could there be such a thing? I didn't prescribe medicine when I prescribed it, and this thing is so bad that if you drink it, you will die! ”
"I'm sure I didn't have it when I caught it, and when I brought it over just now, the medicine was still good, and when the medicine on my side was spilled, I went back to serve the medicine, and there was a problem with the medicine." Bai Qiuluo whispered.
"You mean, the person who wants to kill Mrs. Chu is in the mansion?" Hua Guohua's brain turned so fast, and he reacted all of a sudden.
Bai Qiuluo nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I still suspect that this matter is related to the eldest young master." ”
Hua Guohua's face suddenly changed: "Autumn falls, don't talk nonsense." ”
"If that's not the case, there's no way to explain it." Bai Qiuluo said lowly.
Hua Guohua pondered for a moment, "This medicine is useless, pour it first, as for Mrs. Chu's illness, first acupuncture to control the condition, you go back and directly order the people of Chu Mansion to move a stove to the courtyard, boil the medicine nearby, and there will be less chaos." ”
"Master, the one who drugged you?" Bai Qiuluo hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Autumn fall, in the big family, there are some secrets that we should not know, you should understand this, the less you know, the better it will be for us."
"But ......," Bai Qiuluo frowned.
"I have some old friends with Chu Xing, and when I have the opportunity, I will mention him, don't get involved." Hua Guohua instructed.
Bai Qiuluo knew that he was worried about his safety.
Moved in his heart, Bai Qiuluo could only nod vigorously.
