Chapter Seventy-Eight
When Bai Xiaoqiu came to me, I was taking a book and lying on the recliner in the courtyard to cool off under the banana tree, since the last time I had a big quarrel with him in Bai Yanleng's house, my mood fell to the bottom, I have long been dead to Bai Xiaoqiu, and I no longer have any hope for him, now I just want to leave Baifu one day, leave Luoyang, and return to Jizhou with Yin Ziran. But he wronged me and doubted me, how could I bear it.
I stared intently at the book, treating him as air. Bai Xiaoqiu stayed in the courtyard for a long time, he looked at me, I looked at the book, whether I read it or not, just ignore him, you have the ability to beg me.
He didn't come to beg me, he came to tell me the news that "Zhao Yinlan will be released soon," he said.
My jaw was about to drop, and I couldn't care about him wronging me for a while, so I threw the book in my hand on the recliner, but I quickly calmed down and straightened my body, no matter what, I want to be dignified, to maintain a certain reserved style, flicked the small leaves that fell on my body, pretended to be not surprised, and said, "In broad daylight, can the twelve young people say something serious in their mouths."
Bai Xiaoqiu was not only not angered by my words, but sat down beside me and said seriously, "Why don't you believe it?"
I sneered, "Twelve Shao, you are really boring, full of lies, despicable villain, and the ability to wronged people is even more unique, I won't believe what you say, I won't believe anything you say in front of me in the future, Zhao Yinlan has been locked up in the dungeon of Baifu for more than three years, and he is a permanent prisoner, how can he have a chanceγγγγγγ βγ
"Don't believe it, don't believe it, you can ask my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is sick, I just went to help her hire a doctor to treat her, and the doctor is still there."
I shook my head, confused my mind, grabbed Bai Xiaoqiu's arm, and asked anxiously, "What disease did Mrs. Mu have, when did it happen, is it serious, why did you go to invite, general."
Bai Xiaoqiu sighed, and said, "Big brother is only afraid that he is in prison at this time, Zhao Yinlan suddenly shouted in the prison the evening before yesterday, and asked the guards of the prison to invite the general to come to visit, saying that he was sick, and no one paid attention to him after shouting for an hour, and he started shouting again yesterday evening, not only shouting but also crying, hitting his head against the wall, saying that if the general did not come, she would keep hitting until she died, and she even threatened that there was no order from the general, if I die, you will not be able to eat one by one, and wait and see, The guards saw that her head was broken, and they were afraid that she would really cause trouble, so they ran to inform the eldest brother that the eldest brother would send someone to ask the hall doctor today, and then go to the prison with the hall doctor to see Zhao Yinlan."
I said, "Even if Zhao Yinlan is really sick, she will still stay in prison after being cured, and it is impossible to release her, and besides, she has made trouble more than once or twice, what are you afraid of, she can't make much waves now."
Bai Xiaoqiu looked at me, her eyebrows tightened, and said, "You are really simple-minded, Zhao Yinlan has never been so much crying and shouting to see her eldest brother in the past three years in prison, claiming that she is sick, she used to be petty fights, this time it is different, not to say that she is sick, but also to ask the eldest brother to go to the dungeon to see her in person, I am afraid that it is not so simple, if Zhao Yinlan is really released by the eldest brother this time, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to you at that time, how did she get into prison, I think you know better than anyone else, I think you should be careful."
I only looked at Bai Xiaoqiu, and I didn't understand what link went wrong and something changed.
Bai Xiaoqiu looked stunned when he looked at me, he reached out and stroked my hair, and stopped talking.
I said impatiently, "Do you know anything, you might as well tell it."
Bai Xiaoqiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I heard that the eldest brother went to the dungeon last month, and he went there every few nights in the future, and he didn't come back until midnight, I'm just afraid, I'm afraid."
Bai Xiaoqiu didn't say anything, but I had already guessed, and I felt a shock in my heart, and I collapsed on the chair, if that was the case, what should Mrs. Mu do. Zhao Yinlan has always been arrogant and domineering, in prison for a few years, living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs, she must have hated me to the core, and she can't wait to eat me, if she turns over, not only Mrs. Mu's life is not good, but it is a great threat to me, if she hadn't bitten Azu to death, and killed my Ju'er, how could I treat her like that.
I didn't want to think about it, so I immediately got up from the chair, and Bai Xiaoqiu grabbed my arm, "Where are you going, don't do stupid things."
I said, "Twelve young please rest assured, I am going to see Mrs. Mu, Mrs. Mu has always been in good health, in the past few years in Baifu, I have never heard of Mrs. has a headache and brain fever, this time I am sick, most of it is also for this matter, Mrs. is really pitiful."
Bai Xiaoqiu took my hand and didn't let go, he said, "When I came, my sister-in-law had already fallen asleep, I asked the cousin to rest in the hall, and then wait for my sister-in-law to wake up and see if there was any big problem, since this happened, my sister-in-law has been worried, we have a few uncles, I don't know how to persuade, some things are inconvenient to say, sister-in-law let us keep it secret, don't spread this matter, in addition to me and my fifth brother, there are also Xiao Mama and the girl Liu'er, no one else knows, even Qingrui is in the dark." If the eldest brother wants to do that, there is no way to do it, wait a few days, you can go to see the sister-in-law again, now I am afraid that she will be even more sad."
Somehow, as soon as my eyes were hot, I was about to burst into tears, I felt worthless for Mrs. Mu, she was diligent and hardworking all her life, and took care of the housekeeping of Baifu for the general in an orderly manner, and the husband and wife of decades could not withstand Zhao Yinlan's flattering eyes, a coquettish word, the men in the world are all the same, how thin and cold.
Seeing my sad appearance, Bai Xiaoqiu hurriedly comforted me, "You don't have to worry too much about my sister-in-law's affairs, she has been in charge of the internal affairs of Baifu for so many years, and she has more experience in handling things than you, I believe that my sister-in-law will slowly adjust her mentality, don't worry."
I can't let go, but what can I do, I even have a lot of troubles for myself, how to vent my anger for others, I can only wait and see what happens, and deal with it carefully.
The two of them sat separately and didn't speak, I saw that Bai Xiaoqiu's nose and eyebrows were about to wrinkle together, and I must have been as unhappy as me, so I couldn't bear it, so I shouted to the inner room, "Ai'er, make a pot of tea."
Ai'er responded, and then came out with a tea tray and poured a glass of water for me and Bai Xiaoqiu.
We drank tea again, thinking about our own thoughts, and neither of us spoke, only the whirring wind blew in bursts.
After a while, Bai Xiaoqiu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at me, and said to me, "I'm sorry for what happened last time, it's my fault, I shouldn't have done that to you, but I just can't control myself, I know that you won't, and I can't do that, but I still said that, making you sad and sad, sometimes I don't know what I should do, I obviously want to protect you, I'm just too cowardly, and only when facing you, I will become helpless, without the backbone, I don't know what I should do." Speaking of excitement, Bai Xiaoqiu grabbed my hand, I hurriedly broke free, and when I was about to say something, the girl in Bai Xiaoqiu's house came.
The little girl cried before she entered the gate of the courtyard, and said in a loud voice, "Twelve Shao, it's not good, Jun'er suddenly fainted."
Jun'er fainted suddenly, this is a month and a half since he broke his head, how could he suddenly faint and be unconscious, this thing is very strange, isn't it good, isn't it alive, didn't the doctor say that it was no big deal, why is this happening.
Bai Xiaoqiu was frightened and immediately changed her face, without saying a word, she pulled her legs and ran outside the yard, the little girl turned her head and ran behind Bai Xiaoqiu, Ai'er wanted to rush forward, I grabbed her and said, "You go, invite the hall doctor in Mrs. Mu's hall to the house of the twelve young people, you just say that the twelve young people said, there is an emergency and you need to let him go over, the thing happened too suddenly, the twelve young people are confused, I am afraid that I don't have time to think so much, you go quickly, don't delay."
After Ai'er sighed twice, she also ran out of the yard.
Jun'er is afraid that this time the illness is not light, Bai Yan Leng was also there when I passed, we glanced at each other, Chu Lianwei was held in Bai Xiaoqiu's arms, and several girls stood aside trembling, so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound. The doctor was treating Jun'er, breaking Jun'er's mouth, looking at Jun'er's eyelids, and pinching his palms and feet.
According to the reaction of the girls in Bai Xiaoqiu's house, they had just eaten lunch, so they began to clean the yard, wash the bedding, wipe the table and set the stools, clean the windows, and the stove room was also busy steaming pastries and fried fruits, for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, Chu Lianwei made clothes for Jun'er in the house, because as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the weather soon began to get cooler, and the previous jacket was a little small, and the top and bottom were half short, just like a small shoulder, and it was idle anyway, so she decided to sew a new jacket for Jun'er by herself. The people in the whole house are busy, Jun'er is not idle, holding a small branch to tease Xiaohua, the little flower is very humane, jumping up and down in the yard, Jun'er followed behind, somehow, chasing and chasing, Jun'er suddenly stood up, and fell to the ground in a daze, unconscious. The girls yelled in fright one by one, and carried Jun'er back to the house.
At this time, Jun'er lay motionless on the bed as if he was asleep, letting the doctor pull on him, his cheeks were pale, his lips were bloodless, and there was only a faint gasp.
It can be seen that the hall doctor in front of him is an old doctor with rich experience, so I saw him hold up the back of Jun'er's head, touch it, take a look at it again, and then ask "Xiaoxiaoshao has fallen before, to be precise, has he broken his head".
Chu Lianwei cried and trembled, and said earnestly, "Yes, yes, just over a month ago, my Jun'er fell down from the mountain and broke his head, and there was a lot of blood at that time, my Jun'er is so pitiful, woo."
Chu Lianwei started crying again as she spoke, and Bai Xiaoqiu had to keep comforting her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, it's okay." It's like coaxing a child.
The doctor sighed and said, "I see, it is estimated that this is the case, Xiao Xiaoshao not only broke his forehead at that time, but also hit the back of his head, but you were too anxious at that time, only saw the bleeding forehead, and did not find the back of the head, if it was found in time, it would be fine, but after so long, until Xiao Xiaoshao fainted, he had missed the best treatment time, and the reason why he suddenly fainted was that there was blood congestion in his brain, and he dragged it out until now to be treated, but he was afraid that it would not be so easy to cure it all at once."
Chu Lianwei hurriedly said, "No, my Jun'er will definitely be fine." She knelt down with a puff and said in a loud voice, "Please be sure to save my family Jun'er, he is still so young, he can't be fine, please ask the hall doctor to cure him."
The girl, Mama and Xiao Si in the house also knelt down in unison, and said in unison, "Please be sure to cure my little child's illness."
I stood aside and felt heartache, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, Jun'er is still a child, he must not be fine. immediately knelt down and said, "Please be sure to save Jun'er."
Chu Lianwei turned her head and yelled at me, "Don't fake it to me here, my handsome family was killed by you."
Chu Lianwei was about to continue to scold me, but Bai Xiaoqiu scolded me, "Okay, get up for me, make a lot of noise, and think that things are not big enough."
A room full of people got up again.
The hall doctor lamented and said, "I'll prescribe a few prescriptions for Xiao Xiaoshao to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, and then slowly observe after drinking."
Bai Xiaoqiu walked to the side of the bed, touched Jun'er's little hand, and exclaimed, "Why are Jun'er's hands so cold."
Chu Lianwei also hurriedly pounced, grabbed Jun'er's hand, and couldn't cry.
The doctor said, "Many children are weak because of their young age, which is normal, but I just gave Xiao Xiaoshao a pulse, only to know that Xiao Xiaoshao's body is weaker than other peers, I am afraid that it is brought out of the mother's womb, if it is carefully cared for, it doesn't matter, but this kind of thing happens, now it is a loss of qi and blood, you usually wipe him with warm water, warm his hands and feet, massage all over the body, so that the blood is smooth, his hands and feet are cold, but also because of the lack of qi and blood."
Although the doctor was an old doctor, he was old, and after taking care of Jun'er day and night in Bai Xiaoqiu's house, he was a little unbearable, tired and out of breath, and almost fainted in front of Jun'er's bed.
Bai Xiaoqiu helped him sit down and let him rest first, the doctor said, "Twelve Shao, I won't tell you, my old bones have long been overwhelmed, I wanted to come out to eat, who knows that people are old and can't help themselves, Xiao Xiaoshao's illness has been delayed for too long, I am afraid that it will not be able to be well for a while, and I hope that Twelve Young can understand, let me go back, and you can ask other doctors to come to diagnose and treat."
Bai Xiaoqiu saw that he couldn't stop him, and he knew that the doctor was right, so he had to give up and let him go back.
When I found Rourou, she was picking up something, and without thinking about it, I pulled her out the door to a secluded place, and Rourou asked me "what is Mr. looking for me".
I glanced around and whispered, "Rourou, do you remember, I told you, Yin Ziran, I want to ask you for help, while Jun'er is sick, I will bring him to Baifu as a hall doctor, you can help me, can you."
Rourou blinked and said, "Sir, don't worry, let me think about it, I'm just a little female guard in Baifu, if I do this myself, I'm afraid no one will be convinced." She rolled her eyes, suddenly laughed, and said, "There is a way, I can go to Nineteen Shao and ask him to help."
I shook my head again and again, and said, "It's okay to do this, I don't want to involve the nineteen young people."
Rou Judao "Don't worry, I only told Nineteen Shao, I know a friend from Jizhou, he just came to Luoyang, he has no fixed place, he is looking for a living, his family has studied medicine for generations, his own medical skills are also very good, he can stand up to the study, let Nineteen Shao talk to Twelve Shao again, I think this matter can be done."
I was still hesitating, but Rourou patted me lightly on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me, and I'll make sure it's seamless."
Ziran is really good, he does his best to heal Jun'er, rubs Jun'er's hands and feet every day, massages him, his family has practiced medicine for generations, and I don't need to worry too much about his medical skills.
The two brothers, Bai Yanleng and Bai Xiaoqiu, didn't know the relationship between Ziran and me, they only knew that he was from Jizhou, maybe he and I were the same countrymen, when I talked with Ziran, they also paid great attention to proportion, and the two of them didn't think much about it, and the two of his brothers hid it from Chu Lianwei, and insisted that Ziran was invited by Bai Xiaoqiu himself to come to the house to treat Jun'er.
At first, Chu Lianwei still had palpitations, even if Bai Xiaoqiu said categorically in front of her, saying that Yin Ziran just happened to be a fellow villager with me, Chu Lianwei was too taboo about me, knowing that I had nothing to do with Yin Ziran directly, but I was a fellow villager, and I was very worried about Yin Ziran in the first few days, and I was wary of everything, but fortunately, Yin Ziran didn't care about this, because I told Chu Lianwei's temperament to Ziran in advance, so that he could know in his heart, just treat Jun'er's illness, and ignore everything else.
Jun'er's hands and feet are cold, and he needs to be massaged continuously, Bai Xiaoqiu, Chu Lianwei and Yin Ziran, the three of them change shifts, when something like this happens, I can't stand by and watch, I always want to find something to do, so that Jun'er can get better quickly.
I once read in a book that said that if a person has been asleep for a long time, but actually has a memory, talk to this person more often and help him awaken his memory, then over time, this person can wake up.
I asked Yin Ziran if it was real, and Ziran said that it was called awakening memory, but he had never met such a patient, so let me give it a try.
So, every day, I sat on the edge of the bed with a book and read it to Jun'er, and set up a table in his room, and wrote on it, while writing, I read in my mouth, "One horizontal, one vertical, one skimming, one pulling, this is a wooden character, a wooden wood, Jun'er, have you learned?"
I also painted on the table in his house, "Draw a cloud, what is above the cloud, yes, there is the sun, there is the moon, what is under the cloud, by the way, there is a wild goose, and then draw a mountain, what is on the mountain, there are trees, there are grass and beautiful flowers, and there is a small river next to it, what is in the river, there are small fish in the river, what are the little fish doing, by the way, the little fish are swimming, what is there on the ground, there are houses, there are people, adults and villains, there are small flowers, and there are Jun'er."
There is a fish in the northern underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond also.
I just read for Jun'er every day, writing, drawing, writing and reading at the same time, I don't know if this will work, how much of a role it can play, even if it can play a minimal, I have to persevere, as long as it is helpful to Jun'er, I will do my best to do it.
Reading every day and sometimes at night, my throat is dry and the pain is unbearable, but I still persevere, and I believe that Jun'er will live up to all of our expectations and will definitely get better.
