Chapter 055: Double Eclipse (4)
Xing Ruyi was stunned, only to realize that Chang Tai was asking about the fox. She knew that Chang Tai was a little different from herself, but she didn't want to think about it, so she pretended to be confused at this time and diverted the topic: "No, it's two people!" ”
Xing Ruyi said, deliberately holding Yin Yuan in his arms up. Yin Yuan lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at Chang Tai lightly with his peripheral vision. Well, this man is upright, and he doesn't like it very much.
Chang Tai saw that he deliberately avoided the punishment, and he was no longer reluctant, he focused on the poisoned man, and asked: "Are you sure, is he really poisoned?" ”
"Yes or no, I can't be sure until I've seen it."
Chang Tai nodded, walked over to the man, and pulled his left hand out.
"It should be food poisoning!" Xing Ruyi pretended to diagnose the pulse, but his eyes penetrated the man's chest, and when he saw a layer of black on his stomach, he had already made a decision in his heart. Seeing that the shopkeeper of the teahouse looked nervous, he immediately added: "It has nothing to do with the teahouse, I also ate those refreshments just now, it's fine." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts became more and more curious. Since the food in this teahouse is unharmed, how did this man get poisoned?
"Let me ask you, did you eat snails last night?"
At this time, it was still early spring in the north, and the snails could not be marketed until June and July, so when he saw the plate of broad beans, Xing Ruyi did not think about food poisoning. It was only when he had just probed with the magic of gods and ghosts that he saw that there were still undigested snails in his stomach, and then he thought of this plate of overturned broad beans, that he understood.
"Yes! I ate some! My wife was born in the far south and is good at preserving food. Seeing that I like to eat snails, I kept some when the market was down. Yesterday, it was my birthday, and it happened to be a single business, so the lady personally cooked some food for me, and the snail was one of them. But after I ate it, I didn't feel abnormal. ”
Because of the colic pain in the abdomen, the man's words were intermittent, but Xing Ruyi and Chang Tai understood it.
"Indeed, the rich and noble families in the city often keep some food that is different from the season, such as the Zhang family in the south of the city, the Hou family in the north of the city, and you can still eat chilled sweet melons on snowy days."
The sweet melon in Chang Tai's mouth refers to the cantaloupe from Xinjiang. Most of them were brought to Luoyang by caravans for a long journey, because the road was far away, and it was not easy to preserve, so the number was not much, and the ones that could be eaten were also rich and noble. In order to enjoy more happiness, these people are also racking their brains to preserve, and after accumulating experience, each family has its own way. Occasionally, when she was greedy, she would take the fox to help her "get", but the taste was always not as good as those eaten in later generations. In addition, the fox can always find some unique fruits to come back, so after three or two times, she has no interest in the melons and fruits stored by the rich and noble. It's just to store snails, and the things stored here are fresh enough.
Seeing that everyone was looking around him, Xing Ruyi did not arouse people's appetites, picked up a broad bean from the ground and explained: "Broad beans, also known as Hu beans, Buddha beans, Japanese beans, Luohan beans, etc., are called differently in various places, and the eating methods are slightly different, the most common ones are fried broad beans, broad beans scrambled eggs, green onion broad beans, etc. This bean originated overseas, and was introduced by Zhang Qian when he went to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, and is now the most common in Yizhou. Field snails, also known as field snails, yellow snails, and field snails, can be used as medicine, have the effect of quenching thirst, quenching hangover, and treating wind-heat, eye redness, swelling and pain. These two things are delicious when eaten separately, but when they are put together, they can produce toxins and cause colic. This master, because he ate too many snails last night, and they were not too fresh, and he ate broad beans in the teahouse today, and his spleen and stomach were cold, which caused food poisoning. ”
"I don't know if this poison can be cured?" The shopkeeper of the teahouse rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed.
"The solution is good, but this antidote is a little different."
"But it's expensive?" When he said that expensive word, the corners of the teahouse shopkeeper's mouth couldn't help twitching. Although this person's poisoning has nothing to do with him, the broad beans are still eaten in his teahouse after all, and if the yamen investigates deeply, it will be difficult to escape the involvement. This trouble can't be avoided, so it can only be solved head-on, just thinking of the money to buy medicine, the shopkeeper feels a pain in his heart.
"It's not expensive, and it doesn't even cost money. It's just that although this antidote is good, ordinary people may not be able to accept it. ”
"It doesn't cost anything! Just don't spend any money! "The shopkeeper of the teahouse didn't care about the disdainful eyes of others, and only thought that he could save a sum of silver taels, and he didn't have to cause trouble, so his face was squeezed into a flower." May I ask the girl, what is this medicine? Where to sell! ”
Xing Ruyi pouted at Yin Yuan in his arms: "Oh, I have it in this child!" ”
The shopkeeper of the teahouse took a closer look and saw that he was only holding a child of more than a month in his arms, except for a thick quilt, which was the kind of jacket worn by children. The suspicion was teased, and the expression on his face changed: "Girl, don't be joking!" ”
"How could I joke about human life. All things in the world are mutually reinforcing, and this food is the same. When a snail encounters a broad bean, it will produce a toxin that causes colic, and the antidote is the urine of the child. Just take one cup and the symptoms will be relieved. ”
"Pee this little child's pee." The shopkeeper of the teahouse showed a difficult expression. Pee or not, he doesn't mind, it's not him who wants to drink anyway, as long as it doesn't cost money, it's easy to say anything. But in this case, he can't say it in front of the guests, after all, this "medicine" is indeed a little difficult to accept among ordinary people.
"Child's urine, salty, cold, non-toxic. It is mainly used for the treatment of cold, heat, headache, and warmth. The boy is Yuliang. In the medical case, there is also a relevant record, saying that there is an old woman, who is over 80 years old and looks like 40. Inquire about the reason, and people teach to obey human urine. More than 40 years, and the old health has no other diseases. Therefore, this child's urine is actually a good thing, in addition to detoxification, it can also treat headache, sore throat, abdominal pain, fever, pulmonary dysentery, cough, hemorrhoids and other symptoms. The usage includes direct drinking, decoction after drinking, decoction with medicine, taking with wine, and sending medicine to drink. If the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, you can wait for Ji Shengtang's shopkeeper Liu to come, ask carefully, and see if Ruyi has nonsense. It's just that this master hurts so badly that I am afraid he won't be able to last until that time. ”
The shopkeeper of the teahouse hesitated, so he had to throw the question to the poisoned person: "This master, do you think this method is feasible?" ”
The man was already in a daze of pain, and he only heard that there was an antidote, and he didn't care about anything else. Don't say it's a child's urine, it's something else, as long as it can relieve his abdominal pain, he will also agree. Besides, right now, there are still people from the yamen, and this girl will not fool him. So, enduring the abdominal pain, he nodded.
Xing Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded Yin Yuan's cheek with his hand, and said, "Son, apply medicine!" ”
Chang Tai was stunned! Although she knew that the child was picked up by Xing Ruyi from the door, and the government office also kept a record, she didn't expect that she would name the child Yin Yuan. Yin, isn't that the man's last name?
There was a slight bitterness in his heart, and looking at Xing Ruyi's eyes, it became more and more complicated.
