Chapter VI Visits
The mountain road was rugged and could not take a carriage, so Xiaoru and Brother Xiaolou got off the car and walked. The summer flowers on the side of the mountain are rotten, and occasionally a few colorful butterflies are flying, and Yingying falls on Xiaoru's hair bun collar, which provokes 'Duoduo' to jump up and catch it, so that it is not lonely.
Today, Xiao Ru received a message from Orion Jiang Tian on the mountain, saying that his younger brother has been coughing up blood recently, and because it is inconvenient to go down the mountain, he asked Xiao Ru to go to the doctor.
It happened that Brother Xiao Lou was getting better, and Mrs. Lou's eyes rolled, and she asked Xiao Lou to accompany Xiao Ru to go with her.
"You guys play slowly, you might as well go to the market when you come back, Brother Xiaolou, you help Xiaoru buy some things to take back to her parents' house, don't be stingy with money......"
Seeing the old lady smiling ambiguously, I had the idea of cultivating feelings between the two juniors in my heart, Xiaoru is nothing, although she is a little shy, but, after all, since she is determined to live a lifetime, there is no harm in getting along more, so she has never objected, but she is a doctor who is said to be like she is specially accompanying Brother Xiaolou to play, which is a little awkward, to the point that Brother Xiaolou, who is a little ignorant, was teased by Ding Feng, and his face couldn't help but blush. Not a single superfluous word.
At the foot of the mountain, after getting out of the carriage, Xiao Ru just wanted to pick up the medicine box, so he let Xiao Lou take the lead, Xiao Ru was naturally happy and relaxed, and would not compete with him, the vermilion wooden medicine box was easily hung diagonally on Xiao Lou's neck.
Carrying the medicine box and standing up straight, Lou Yi couldn't help but be surprised, this box is actually not big, and it is only knee-high, but it is quite heavy, it is estimated that there are more than ten catties, and it is naturally nothing to hold it by himself, but it is really unimaginable that a thin girl like Xiaoru can actually carry it on her back to climb mountains and wade through waters, looking at Xiaoru's eyes, she is somewhat admired.
Because it just rained yesterday, the mountain road is not easy to walk, but Xiao Ru is usually used to picking medicine, this time she walked for nearly half an hour, and her forehead was only slightly sweating, as for Lou Yi, she was always radiant, her face was not red and her breath was not panting, Xiao Ru saw it, and knew in her heart that his internal strength was not good, she has been in this world for 20 years, she has practiced medicine and medicine on weekdays, and has also treated several so-called masters on the rivers and lakes, and she has long lost her curiosity about the internal strength of martial arts that she only saw in novels and TV, but she is still quite satisfied with her husband's martial arts.
"That...... My mother said, the day after tomorrow, let me accompany you back to your mother's house, give, and put incense on your mother-in-law. Lou Yi lowered his head, and said in a sneering manner, he seemed to be a little embarrassed, a touch of red appeared on his cheeks, looking at his ordinary face on weekdays, to a little more light, holding a peach in his hand, unconsciously changing from his left hand to his right hand, and from his right hand to his left hand, coming and going, causing 'Duoduo' to run left and right, tossing back and forth, and squeaking twice from time to time, grinning at Xiao Lou.
Xiaoru looked funny, couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, reached out and took the peach in Xiaolou's hand, and threw it to 'Duoduo', watching it jump into her arms with the peach in one or two times, and began to gnaw it steadily, but she sighed in her heart, just that, she should go back to see, her parents are lonely, she has not swept the tomb for many years as a daughter, it is really a big unfilial piety, now the world is decided, and Brother Xiaolou follows, and there is no need to worry about the bandits on the road, if you don't go back, you can't say it.
Xiao Ru nodded silently, but she didn't want to discuss her family, so she changed the topic, because Xiao Lou had followed Gongsun Zhi to many places over the years, she casually asked Brother Xiao Lou to talk about the customs and customs of various places, and strange and interesting things.
Xu is has been with Xiaoru for a long time, Xiaolou did not show a thin face and blushed again, that mouth is even more humorous, some trivial parents in the short things from his mouth are also very interesting, those landscapes and scenic spots, even more vivid, as if in front of him, Xiaoru listened to it with relish, there was that moment, and even wished that he could travel around the mountains and rivers, trek to practice medicine......
The two of them talked and laughed, occasionally teasing 'Duoduo', which was still a long mountain road, but it was easy to walk, and after walking for almost half an hour, Xiaoru's footsteps suddenly paused.
Xiao Lou raised his eyes in surprise, and saw a little girl about fourteen or fifteen years old standing next to the mountain stream in front of him, washing clothes by the stream, although it is summer now, but the temperature on the mountain is low, the stream is cold, the little girl's hands have been red, but the little appearance is very serious, it seems to hear footsteps, the little girl looked up, saw Xiao Ru and Xiao Lou, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and she pursed her mouth mockingly, her eyes widened viciously, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, fake merciful young lady Lou, Why are you here again......" She reread the word madam, gritted her teeth secretly, and seemed to want to say something, but there was a little scruple between her eyebrows, after all, she just turned around, lowered her head, and pounded her clothes hard, never looking at Xiaoru again.
Xiaoru just raised her eyebrows, and didn't care if she listened or not, and said: "Su Mei, it's raining tonight, don't play in the mountains." He walked slowly, not bothering with the girl, but he smiled bitterly in his heartβ
In fact, Su Mei said that she was fake compassion, not completely unreasonable, she has eaten a lot of birds and beasts on weekdays, but there is one, if it is an animal that has communicated with her, let her start again, she will feel more or less uncomfortable, although as long as it is a beast, she has an indescribable closeness to her, but Xiaoru is not able to communicate with beasts anytime and anywhere, and only when she has a strong will, can she understand the beast language, the winter day of the previous year, she also went up the mountain to see Jiang Yu for a doctor, but accidentally got lost in the mountains, fortunately met a pheasant, I let the pheasant lead the way, but I didn't expect that when I walked in front of the Jiang family's thatched hut, Su Mei was also hunting nearby, so naturally she would not miss such a fat and strong pheasant.
Su Mei is a hunter, she wants to hunt pheasants naturally, but Xiao Ru instinctively stretched out her hand to block it, although after blocking the arrow, she also touched her nose and was embarrassed, but if she let the pheasant who had just brought her way die under the arrow, she was afraid that she would have to be awkward for a while, so, by mistake, since then, Su Mei just looked at Xiao Ru unpleasantly, and said that she was fake compassion when she met, and Xiao Ru was somewhat unreasonable, so it was up to her, only the child played a temper.
"Brother Xiaolou, it's ahead."
Xiao Lou nodded, he also saw the farmhouse yard standing on the flat ground on the mountainside-thatched house, the courtyard wall enclosed by the fence, a few pheasants with their wings cut off running on the land of the yard, and firewood piled up in the corner, just a very ordinary farmhouse courtyard.
Xiao Ru walked into the courtyard gate with Xiaolou familiarly, and as soon as she walked to the front of the house, she heard a crackling sound of broken pots and pans from inside - "Take it, I won't eat, don't eat ......"
There was a faint sound that was sharp but weak, Xiao Lou raised his eyebrows in surprise, Xiao Ru also frowned, but still knocked on the door.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, the movement inside stopped, and there was a rush of tidying up things, and after another quarter of an hour, the door was opened, and a tall man, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, and a layer of stubble on his chin stood in front of the door, this man had a sad face, and when he saw Xiaoru, he showed joy, and said happily: "Mrs. Lou, are you here...... Quick, fast into the house. β
The man rubbed his hands and let Xiaoru Xiaolou in, bent down to wipe the only bench in the room that was still evening clothes, beckoned the two of them to sit down, and made another cup of licorice tea before he smiled bitterly: "I'm really sorry, there is nothing to entertain at home......
"Okay, Brother Jiang, don't be busy, I'll go in and see Second Brother Jiang."
"Hey, trouble young lady, my brother has been losing his temper these days, and he vomited a lot of blood this morning." This set of procedures has probably been gone through many times, Jiang Tian was not polite at all, obediently took the medicine box carried by Xiao Lou, opened the curtain, Xiao Lou followed Xiao Ru, walked into the bedroom, as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a pungent smell of medicine, and the air was so turbid that he couldn't wait to hold his breath immediately.
Xiaoru frowned even more, and said coldly: "How many times have I said that the windows of this house should be open from time to time, don't cover them so tightly, living in such a house, good people will also get sick." β
Jiang Tianne nodded, "It's raining and cold these days, I'm afraid that Brother Yu will be infected with the wind and evil ......."
"That's a daily ventilation as well." Xiao Ru shook her head, and pushed open the tightly blocked window by herself, the sunlight poured in, and the whole room suddenly brightened up a lot.
There was a sick and weak boy on the bed, there was a porcelain bowl on the ground, which had been broken, and there were black medicine stains around it, Jiang Tian hurriedly leaned over to clean up the medicine bowl, obviously afraid that Xiao Ru would be angry.
However, this time, Xiao Ru didn't hate the waste of medicinal resources as before, so she went straight to the past and sat down in front of the bed to check Jiang Yu's pulse.
Xiao Lou was stunned, in his impression, his wife had always been gentle and shy, but at this time, Xiao Ru had a serious face, and even his eyebrows had a majesty, which made people unconsciously obedient.
"Stick out your tongue." Xiao Ru's voice was not gentle at all.
And Jiang Yu, who was still making a lot of trouble just now, actually obediently stuck out his tongue for Xiaoru to see.
"Alright." Xiao Ru nodded and looked at Jiang Tiandao, "Have you been coughing lately?" β
"yes, I coughed all night last night and barely fell asleep." Jiang Tian scratched his head, his younger brother has always been in bad health, and the illness of two heads in three days is really enough to toss people.
"Does it hurt here when you cough?" Xiao Ru reached out and tapped Jiang Yu's chest.
Jiang Yu nodded, and Jiang Tian also hurriedly said, "No, I feel uncomfortable when I see it." β
Xiaoru stood up, walked to the foot of the bed and picked up the toilet, and looked carefully, Jiang Tian was startled and rubbed his hands awkwardly, "Young lady, be careful of getting your hands dirty." β
Xiao Ru ignored him, sat down at the table, opened the medicine box, took out a small notebook from it, took out a piece of charcoal wrapped in straw paper, and contemplated: "There is blood in the phlegm, irritability and irritability, the tongue is red and yellow, and the pulse is ...... This is the liver fire and the lungs, I will prescribe a medicine to clear the liver and diarrhea the lungs, cool the blood and stop bleeding, and give a few more injections, and it will be fine soon......"
"I don't eat it, anyway, I can't get better from this disease anyway, I'm just a waste, a burden......"
Jiang Tian's face was bitter, and before the words of consolation could be spoken, Xiaoru snapped, and threw the prescription in his hand on Jiang Yu's face, which frightened the two brothers of the Jiang family into silence for a while.
"What are you howling, your kid's little problem, compared to the one around me, it's not a disease at all, people are still jumping around all day long, who are you looking for to show alive!"
Xiaolou touched his nose and glared at his daughter-in-law in surprise, he really didn't expect that a woman who usually looks gentle and graceful would have such a hot temper, it's really incredible - it's just that his illness is so serious?
