Chapter 18: On the Road
"Brother Jiang, find a place to rest in front."
"Young lady, don't call me Brother Jiang...... Let's hurry and get to the city after dark. ”
Xiao Ru smiled lowly, "Okay, it's called Jiang Tian, there will be heavy rain for a while, the road will definitely be difficult to walk, it's better to find a place to shelter from the rain." ”
"Got it, young lady." For Xiaoru, a long-legged weather forecaster, people who are familiar with her still trust her. She didn't miss a single forecast about whether there would be rain or not, and she was even more accurate than some experienced old farmers.
Xiao Ru leaned on the thick fur and squinted her eyes pleasantly, although the carriage was not equipped with springs, but because the fur was thickly padded, Jiang Tian, who was driving the car, was so good that it was not too bumpy. The scenery along the way is good, such a landscape, if it is modern, it is estimated that it will all be protected by a nature reserve, how can you enjoy it so casually.
After a while, a small tea shed appeared on the side of the road in front of him, and seeing that the wooden shed was strong enough, Jiang Tian stopped the car in front of the tea shed and called Lou Yi and Xiaoru to come down.
There are still a lot of people, in addition to a few businessmen who carry the shelves, there is also a couple of men and women who are suspected of being a small couple, the man is very handsome, the woman is wearing a hat, and she can't see her face, but her figure is graceful.
Lou Yi yawned, and his daughter-in-law found a corner in the tea shed to sit down, Fu'er's little girl was listless, and when she got out of the car, she was happy to jump up and down, and after a while, she turned out the small charcoal stove and porcelain jar that Xiaoru put in the base.
"Hungry?" Seeing Fu'er pitifully holding the porcelain jar, Xiaoru smiled, the child is easy to get hungry, "Okay, I'll help you warm porridge, you can eat some snacks first, okay?" ”
The little girl nodded happily and rushed over to find Jiang Tian to get a snack, while Xiaoru opened the sealed porcelain jar, rested it on the charcoal stove, and lit the fire.
The young man in the tea shed obediently served a pot of hot tea, Xiaoru looked at the tea set, it was still Yixing's purple sand pottery, and the tea was also Yangxian tribute tea, and couldn't help laughing: "Your shopkeeper is from Yixing?" ”
"Yo, the guest officer has a good eye, our shopkeeper only came to Sichuan from Yixing the year before last, and he was a relative, but he didn't expect his relatives to be able to find him for a while, so he simply set up a tea shed here, and when there were many guests, the business was not bad."
Lou Yi lay on the wooden case, squinted his eyes, and watched his daughter-in-law stir porridge with a wooden spoon, but after a while, the aroma was fragrant, Xiaoru scooped a bowl to Lou Yi first, and said with a smile: "Overlord flower porridge, this overlord flower is a good thing, clear the heart and lungs, nourish and nourish the skin, you might as well eat more." ”
"Overlord flowers? It's a domineering name. ”
"Yes, where the overlord flower grows, other flowers and plants will be squeezed to death by it, it is indeed an extremely domineering flower." Xiaoru served another bowl to Fu'er, but she poured tea to drink, and when she arrived at someone's tea shed, it was very impolite not to drink other people's tea, and besides, authentic Yangxian tribute tea was not so easy to drink.
The family drank tea and porridge, and it was quiet for a while, but Lou Yi suddenly paused, frowned, and turned sideways to block Xiaoru.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ru blinked, they did bring a lot of things, but when the valuable one was at home, she let her unload it secretly, although there are many things in the car now, but they are just some processed game, ordinary fur, not valuable, so as not to run into a robbery.
"Then the kid will look at you again......" Before Lou Yi's words fell, the man in the young couple who was sitting across a table walked over leisurely, and as soon as he arrived, he said to Xiaoru: "Excuse me, can you sell me a pack of snake medicine?" My sister and I are going to go up the mountain for a while, I heard that there are many snakes in the mountain, and we originally planned to go into the city to buy snake medicine and then go, since we met the doctor here, we will not have to go more wrongly. ”
"Uh......" Xiao Ru blinked in surprise, hesitated for a moment, but still called Fu'er over, took out a box of snake medicine from the purse on her waist, and said with a smile, "This is my homemade, the effect is okay, if this son doesn't dislike it, please use it." ”
The man seemed a little surprised that Xiao Ru had asked a child to bring snake medicine without carrying it with him, but he didn't say anything, just obediently took it and bowed his hand to thank him.
Lou Yi was interested, very curious about the person in front of him, and said with a smile: "This son, you meet fate, you ...... Why don't you come and sit together for a while? ”
"It's okay, I think it's going to rain, and I can't leave for the time being anyway." The man nodded, not polite at all, and soon, the two siblings changed places.
Xiaoru took a new bowl and gave the two brothers and sisters a bowl of porridge, and when the woman took the hat down to drink the porridge, she found that the girl's eyes were swollen and there were two blisters on her forehead, and she looked like she was sick, so she couldn't help frowning and said, "This girl ......" She picked up the woman's hand, checked the pulse, and hesitated, "Erysipelas?" Have you ever sought medical treatment? ”
The man was stunned, his face was a little red, he coughed, and said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from Madame, our brother and sister met a robber a few days ago, and the salute was robbed...... When the next sister was sick, only one of them visited Langzhong and prescribed a home remedy, saying that she went to the mountains to pick some dandelion leaves, mashed them and applied them to the affected area, and she would be cured......"
"This prescription is right, but, your sister's condition is already very serious, only using dandelion leaves, it won't have a big effect, so let's do it, I'm a doctor, and I still have some medicinal herbs on my body, if the son believes me, let me show Ling Mei, how about it?"
The son's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "Thank you, doctor, Xiaoyi, what are you doing in a daze, don't you salute quickly......"
Xiao Ru shook her head, avoided the big gift of the two, and asked Fu'er to take the medicine box over, and without writing the prescription, she directly found honeysuckle, forsythia, wild jujuria, and Coptis chinensis from the medicine box...... After waiting for some medicine, he turned out a new porcelain jar, asked the young man to make a pot of water, and began to boil the medicine on his charcoal stove.
Looking at Xiaoru's actions, the boy didn't care at all, if it were someone else, he would definitely not believe the people he met casually on the side of the road so easily, let alone let people treat their relatives, in case he ran into a quack, wouldn't it be fatal?
While waiting for the medicine to be cured, Lou Yi squinted his eyes, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "Childe, I don't know how you know, my lady is a doctor?" "I'm afraid this person knew that Xiaoru was a doctor from the beginning, and he also had the idea of seeing a doctor for free, otherwise, how could he run over to ask for snake medicine for no reason?
"Uh......" The boy blinked, coughed, and smiled slyly, "I originally planned to come over to ask for medicine openly, but in front of the public, somehow, I was always a little uncomfortable......"
