Chapter 68: A Woman in a Filial Piety Dress
He Langzhong pointed his finger at Liu Wu and Ah Huang, who were dressed in filial piety clothes, laughed breathlessly, and did not say a complete sentence for a long time.
Liu Wu asked Ah Huang to sit on the stool, put his wrist on the examination mat, and his eyes stared at He Langzhong's eyes for a moment, waiting for He Langzhong's medium pulse.
He Langzhong forced a smile and put his finger on Ah Huang's wrist.
As time passed, He Langzhong's face became more and more solemn, and after taking the pulse, he opened Ah Huang's eyelids and tongue coating and observed for a long time, and finally sighed heavily.
"He Langzhong, what's the matter, why did Ah Huang become stiff and chilly while sleeping?" Liu Fu looked worried, and his fingers were nervously stirred together, for fear of hearing some bad news.
He Langzhong glanced at Ah Huang, stopped talking, and called Hu Lian in and asked him to lead Ah Huang out to sit down first.
He Langzhong said with a solemn face: "The old man has seen many incurable diseases in the north and south, but this disease has never been seen, but it is ......."
The catkins' breathing became rapid.
He Langzhong thought about the wording for a long time before he said slowly: "I heard a rumor, I don't know if it has anything to do with Ah Huang's illness. ”
After listening to He Langzhong's words, Liu Wu's heart became colder and colder, and his whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
He Langzhong said that the rumor is that in the highest Yuqing Snow Mountain in northern Liaoning, there is a kind of ice snake called "Yuqing", this snake is flexible as usual during the day, but it gradually stiffens at night, the colder it is, the longer it sleeps, until it finally becomes a jade-like ice snake, and can no longer wake up.
This snake is extremely rare, very expensive, and not primarily poisonous.
According to the medicinal properties of Yuqing, the dignitaries and nobles bought the "jade body" of the "Yuqing snake" at a high price, ground it into powder, and took it when the nobles were dying, and the corpse gradually froze, fresh as ever, and could be kept from rotting for a hundred years and a thousand years.
Because "Yuqing" is colorless and tasteless, undetectable, and unclear, Chinese medicine practitioners gradually suffer the pain of gradual freezing, and slowly freeze to death and sleep to death. Therefore, rich and noble families will also use it as a torturous poison.
Liu Wu tried his best to calm down his throbbing feelings, and asked in a trembling voice: "He Langzhong, tell me the truth, is there an antidote to this jade poison?" ”
He Langzhong shook his head and said: "According to the classics I know, there is no antidote to this medicine, but there is a person who may survive, I heard that he is a person in the rivers and lakes, Zhongyu has been poisoning for more than two months and has not died, and then no one has seen him again, some people say that he is dead, some people say that he lives in seclusion to avoid revenge, there are different opinions, whether he is dead or alive is not conclusive, and it is not known." ”
The catkins struggled to stand up, but their legs were drifting, soft as noodles, and it took a lot of effort to stand still.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Liu Fu poured all the silver taels on the table, leaving only four copper plates for going home to ride the ox cart, and bowed to He Langzhong: "He Langzhong, this is all my net worth, not enough for me to think of a way." I beg you to prescribe some medicine for me to relieve my chills, and then help me find out the news of the man who has been poisoned. ”
He Langzhong shook his head helplessly, sighed heavily and said: "Miss Liu, a palm-sized Yuqing snake, its value is enough for the people of a county to be rich for many years, not to mention that there is no antidote, even if there is, it will be worth a fortune, you are an ordinary village girl, why bother yourself?" ”
Liu Wu didn't turn his head, turned his back to He Langzhong and bowed his head gently: "Even if you are an ant, you must have the courage to shake the elephant, just because, Ah Huang, is my relative." ”
Saying this, Liu Wu was also taken aback by herself, even she never thought that Ah Huang, a lonely and helpless unknown boy rescued from the cemetery, subtly, occupied an extraordinary position in his heart, even more important than willow hair and willow buds, if there was a pleasing throbbing at the beginning, but later, it was not about Fengyue's family affection.
However, it was discovered too late, and if no miracle happened, Ah Huang would die soon.
Thinking of this, catkins felt that their breathing was painful, and an unprecedented powerlessness surged through their bodies.
Afraid that Ah Huang would see his abnormality, Liu Wu tried to calm down his emotions, pushed open the door panel, and saw Ah Huang looking at him anxiously, Liu Wu tried to reply with a smile, only she knew how bitter and difficult this smile was.
Feeling a sharp gaze, Liu Fu suddenly followed the line of sight, and instantly caught a glimpse of Cong Nan with a pensive face.
Liu Fu secretly cursed himself for being careless, and even forgot that this dangerous guy was still there.
Liu Wu twisted his body, blocked Cong Nan's sight with his back, stretched out his hand to "help" Ah Huang, pinched his throat, and said with great concern: "Little lady, He Langzhong said that you will have to give birth in a few days, just now it is not that the amniotic water is broken, but that you should go to the thatched house, let's go." ”
"Okay." Ah Huang only has an IQ of four or five years old, and he is very playful, he was deceived by Liu Fu to wear women's filial piety clothes, and combed women's hair buns, wiped the white, white, black, black and red on his face.
Liu Wu was in the mood to laugh, and he hurriedly pulled Ah Huang and walked outside the medical hall.
Ah Huang is a scheming person after all, Liu Wu's face sank, and his steps were in a hurry, so he followed the anxious and his legs were even more anxious, and followed the Liu Wu after the meteor, where is there still a pregnant woman who is pregnant in October?
Cong Nan's original suspicion was even worse, and he just said that the "woman" who broke the amniotic fluid to give birth, why didn't she give birth for so long? This step is too heroic, right? It's not at all sticky to the woman's enchanting gentleness.
Cong Nan walked a few steps, stretched out his arm to block Liu Wu and Ah Huang's way, and said coldly: "The little lady is pregnant with Liujia, it is not suitable to walk so quickly, why don't you sit down and rest?" ”
Liu Fu chuckled in his heart, and said with righteous indignation on his face: "This Lang Jun is so unreasonable, my lord has just passed away, waiting for the little lady to go back to preside over one or two, which is more important than one can be carried clearly, so naturally I can't stay." ”
Cong Nan stretched out his hand to forcibly hold Ah Huang, but Liu Wu took Ah Huang behind him and shouted in a sharp voice: "Dengzi, take away your dirty hands!! My little lady's husband has just passed away, and you have been looking for gaps again and again, don't you take a fancy to my little lady's widow, and she has the money of the Wang family, and she has the idea of marrying my little lady and getting rich overnight? ! ”
A few words were impassioned and loud, which attracted more than a dozen nearby shop owners and Xiao Er's sympathy, some of whom did not agree with Cong Nan's aesthetic vision, and some of whom cast disdain for Cong Nan's subordinate style.
Cong Nan secretly hated in his heart, he was trying to sting for a long time, and he couldn't attract too much attention, so he had to take a step sideways, and said with a little guilt: "Cong Mou saw that the little lady had a big belly and was inconvenient to move, and he didn't want to cause such a misunderstanding, so it was just a little bit, wasn't the little lady in a hurry to go to the thatched house just now to cause the misunderstanding?" Let's go to the hut. ”
Cong Nan made a gesture of "please".
Liu Wu's face turned pale, and he said stubbornly: "My little lady doesn't want to go to the toilet now, and she is in a hurry to go home to take care of the master's funeral." ”
Cong Nan said yes, and gave way to the front door: "Xiao Niang did not take the carriage, but she could take the carriage of the Cong family back to the Wang family." ”
When you go back to Wang's house, you will be a big-headed ghost, and when you go back to Wang's house, you will really be exposed.
Liu Fu's face sank, and he replied in a cold tone: "My little lady's husband has just passed away, and I don't dare to bother the foreign man to work hard, lest someone go to the eldest lady to chew the root of the tongue, and tired the reputation of the little lady, and even the only repatriation property has been withdrawn." ”
Cong Nan was no longer embarrassed by the catkins, his body was moved to the side, and the catkins breathed a sigh of relief and helped Ah Huang to walk out.
"Wait." Cong Nan's cold voice will spread after itself.
Liu Wu's body stiffened, his feet were like nails and he didn't dare to move, and the courage and ruthlessness of the man who slashed the mustache dog to death came to mind, and he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and his hairs were trembling.
Holding Ah Huang's hand tightly, a thin layer of sweat oozed out, and he thought in his heart, should he pull Ah Huang's hand and run into the crowd to run away, or use the anti-wolf technique to kick the man and ruin the happiness of the rest of his life?
Liu Fu shook his head secretly, and despised himself in his heart, thinking that he didn't kill people and set fires, but he occasionally threw the man's carriage with dead mice and frozen pears, and accidentally broke him to pretend to be the innkeeper, so he shouldn't be guilty of death, right?
Liu Fu comforted herself in her heart, but her body was still shaking like chaff, she was afraid of him, especially his eyes, which were more cold than Ah Huang's body in the night, looking at people, like looking at the enemy, the enemy who destroyed the door.
Cong Nan turned to the catkins, obviously felt the woman's fear, smiled slightly, handed the things in his hand to the catkins and said, "Your little lady didn't take the medicine." ”
"Uh, thank you, thank you, Cong Dongjia......" Liu Wu took the medicine, bowed his head slightly, and helped Ah Huang to hurry away.
The corners of Cong Nan's mouth lifted lightly, if he was just suspicious just now, now he can be sure that this girl who said that she was a "disciple" is a girl who picks her feet, so eccentric, and betrayal.
It's just that why is she so afraid of herself? Isn't she also the person of the Nine Princes?
And the "little lady" in her mouth, although she has a face of * black and pink pink, why are her eyes a little familiar?
Cong Nan said goodbye to He Langzhong and turned around and returned to the tavern.
After a while, from the back door of the tavern, a handsome man walked out, jumped onto the roof, looked at it, and saw the catkins running fast with Ah Huang at a glance.
The man only borrowed his strength on the roof three times before catching up with the two, and fell to one side without showing up.
Seeing that there was no one chasing behind, Liu Wu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and finally turned to Zhengde Street, where Huangjiabuzhuang was located.
At this time, the Huangjia Buzhuang was surrounded by the three layers inside and the three layers outside, and all the people were in one action, all of them raised their eyes and looked at the third floor.
A man who looked like a scholar said suspiciously: "How could a fairy fall in Huangjia Buzhuang, shouldn't it fall in an elegant place like Guanyu Tower?" ”
A man with five big and three thick men beside him glanced at the scholar with contempt, and said in a bright voice: "Everyone has seen it twice, so is there any fake?" I heard that the shopkeeper Huang had lovesickness because of the fairy, and the old servant invited Langzhong from all over Jiangyin City to look down on him, so he could only let the owner Hu Lai, spend a lot of money to smash the window on the third floor, and built the Invitation Sendai. ”
The scholar said suspiciously: "The fairy will come every night?" ”
The man pouted and said: "How can the fairy be seen every day, I heard that it only appears in the middle of the moon when the moon is full, for the sake of the fairy, Huang Xiaoli took great pains, let the embroidery girl rush to work night and night, and make all kinds of neon clothes worthy of the fairy, tsk, I heard that it is a style that even the county lord has not worn, just waiting for the full moon to offer to the fairy." ”
Liu Wu listened to the amusement, separated the crowd, and took Ah Huang's hand into the Huangjia Cloth Village.
