Chapter 296: The Mandate of Heaven is Near
There was no word all night, and as soon as the sky was bright, Ah Fu was the first to climb down from the bed, and hurriedly found the cabin where Mei Niang was in the middle of the big boat, and knocked on the door.
Mei Niang opened the door with her messy hair, and her unkempt appearance startled Ah Fu.
"Aunt Mei, you are ......"
"Ah Fu, hehu......" Mei Niang half-opened, scratched the back of her head, and looked at Ah Fu with a yawn.
Ah Fu grinned and looked at Mei Niang and frowned. "Aunt Mei, can you still diagnose a patient like this?"
"Two days ago, I thought of an old recipe, I didn't pay attention to it for a while, I didn't sleep for two days, I slept a lot last night, and I don't have to worry about checking the pulse and seeing the disease, what's wrong? Who wants me to see it?" Mei Niang said, yawned again, and nodded against the door frame.
"It's my mother who is not good, I took medicine yesterday and joked with Aunt Mei, but somehow, I said that I couldn't hold the bowl with my hand. ”
"Can't hold the bowl with your hand?" Ami frowned, puzzled. "That's weird, how can it be?"
"Aunt Mei, go and take a look, there's something wrong with how I look at it. Seeing Mei Niang in a daze, Ah Fu couldn't help but pull her sleeve and said. "Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei?"
"That's not right, you wait. As she spoke, Mei Niang turned around sharply and went back to the house, and then, there was a ping-pong banging sound from inside, and after a while, she carried a rattan box out of the house, and took Ah Fu's hand and said hurriedly. "Let's go, let's see!"
"Aunt Mei, you, your face, and your hair......" Ah Fu looked at Mei Niang, who was embarrassed, and said very tactfully. "Let's freshen up. ”
Mei Niang was stunned for a moment, looked at the dirt on her hands, and then looked at the dusty skirt on her body, sighed twice, and said to Ah Fu. "Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes. ”
Ah Fu nodded hurriedly, and watched Mei Niang enter the house, and he breathed a sigh of relief gently.
"Huh, Fu Gongzi, why are you here so early?"
Ah Fu looked up at the person who came, and saw that it was Ah Si among the hundred Jingwei, and smiled. "It's nothing, my mother is not very comfortable, and she has come to look for someone to see. ”
"Is it a sorcerer or a healer?" Ah Si looked curiously towards the cabin and asked Ah Fudao. "I was sick when I saw her last time, isn't the county lord well?"
"It's okay, just ask Aunt Mei to take a look. Ah Fu didn't want to talk more, and as he spoke, the small door over there squeaked open, and Mei Niang, who had washed her face and changed her clothes, hurriedly walked out.
"Aunt Mei!" Ah Fu stepped forward and grabbed Mei Niang's sleeve and left, Mei Niang was sorting out the ribbon, and he was unstable and brought him a stumble.
"Be careful!" Ah Si reached out to help, and a pair of hands were supporting her soft shoulders, saving her from a "big gift" of throwing her body to the ground.
Mei Niang stood up straight, raised her head and glared coldly at Ah Si, who was stunned, and raised her hand to brush away the hands he still had on her shoulders, with a faint anger in her eyes.
"Let's go!" glanced at Ah Si angrily, Mei Niang took Ah Fu's little hand and walked quickly towards the bow of the boat, leaving only Ah Si who was still in a daze.
Hurriedly arrived at the cabin at the bow of the ship, Mei Niang arrived at the couch as soon as she entered the door, looking at Ye Ziyi, who was still asleep, she didn't look at Gongzicheng on the side, and said in a deep voice. "How long did she sleep?"
"It's been almost six hours since yesterday. Gongzicheng looked at Ye Ziyi's transparent little face and said in a low voice. "Isn't that medicine able to move the number of people who live like this? Is it because my life expectancy is not enough, so she will be like this?"
Mei Niang glanced at him, didn't speak, just reached out and clasped Ye Ziyi's wrist vein.
Yongyi, who was sitting on the couch guarding Ye Ziyi, saw Mei Niang's calm expression, and couldn't help but look at Ah Fu, and saw Ah Fu shaking his head at him, so he hugged Ye Ziyi's left hand uneasily.
After pressing the pulse of her right hand for a while, Mei Niang stretched out her hand and said to Yongyi. "Show me the pulse over there. ”
"Oh. Yongyi knelt on the couch and hurriedly handed Ye Ziyi's left hand to Mei Niang.
Mei Niang pinched Ye Ziyi's vein, frowned and pressed for a while, then handed her left hand back to Yongyi, and became enlightened to her son. "King Qi, let's find Wu Ji earlier, Ah Ye's body is fine, I think the destiny of heaven is near, and the medicine that nourishes the soul and continues his life is not very useful. ”
Ziyi, she ...... How long is it left?" Gongzi Cheng's voice trembled a little, and he looked at the sleeping Ye Ziyi with empty eyes, and his jade-white face was completely bloodless.
"This ...... I don't know. Mei Niang lowered her eyes, with tears in her charming eyes, she shook her head and said. "Although I have been a witch, I have only learned pharmacology, and I have not practiced witchcraft, and I can't do it when I explore the destiny of heaven and practice magic, if not, I won't let Ah Ye suffer. ”
"I see, thank you. Gongzi Cheng leaned over to hold Ye Ziyi's hand, and didn't speak again, he just looked at her almost lifeless little face, and the original little bit of agility in his eyes slowly dissipated.
Several people were silent for a while, and Ah Fu stepped forward and pulled Mei Niang's sleeve and led her out of the cabin door.
Beyond the right side of the door, the two walked straight to an empty cabin, Ah Fu let go of Mei Niang, took a step back, and knelt down on the ground towards her.
"Ah Fu is brave, I implore Aunt Mei to take risks for her mother!"
Mei Niang was startled, and quickly turned sideways to avoid helping Ah Fu up, squatting on the ground to look at him, Mei Niang patted the dust on his robe and said. "You kid, what are you doing to kneel to me? Just say something, your mother and I have a life, how can I ignore it? No matter how dangerous it is, as long as I can save her, I will not be defeated!"
"Thank you, Aunt Mei. Ah Fu choked up, nodded with tears in his eyes, he looked at Mei Niang, pursed his lips and raised his sleeves to wipe the tears that overflowed the corners of his eyes, and said seriously. "Aunt Mei, if Wu Ji shows up to help, I only have enough things at hand, and I have to take someone to the deep mountains of Qi Country to hunt a hundred-year-old worm before I can talk to that Wu Ji. ”
"Hundred-year-old dragon?" Mei Niang frowned and thought for a while. "How can such a giant worm be hunted? For more than 100 years, I am afraid that it will become a dragon, and ordinary people think that it is difficult to help it. ”
"Wu Ji fought in Qidi many years ago, he has long wanted this thing to refine medicine, but he can't cope with it alone, I asked Longjiang Dawu for the method of controlling snakes, as long as I find it, there is naturally a way to control it!" Ah Fu said, holding Mei Niang's hand. "Aunt Mei, although there is a clever trick this time, it is extremely dangerous, now only you know the witch array method, this time it is all up to you!"
"That being the case, I know, and leave it to me. Mei Niang nodded, stood up, took a deep breath, and said to Ah Fu. "How many people do you want to bring there? What do you do, you tell me, I will arrange the rest, even if I fight for my life, I will bring the giant worm back!"
Ah Fu nodded, his eyes were full of reluctance, he tilted his little head, tried to hold back his tears, and said in a slightly hoarse voice. "Aunt Mei, clean up, I'll go and order the hundred Jingwei to stand by and go with you!"
"Good. Mei Niang stroked the top of Ah Fu's hair and said with a smile. "Ah Fu, take good care of your mother and wait for me to come back. ”
"Aunt Mei!" Ah Fu hugged Mei Niang's waist violently, stuck his head on her waist, and choked up. "Aunt Mei, you must come back, you must come back, mother can't live without you, and Ah Fu can't do without you!"
"Silly boy, who am I, just deal with a little snake, it's fine, wait for me to come back with peace of mind." Mei Niang patted Ah Fu's back, blinked the tears in her eyes, and said with a smile. "Alright, let go, I've got to go back and clean up. ”
"Hmm. Ah Fu replied sullenly, slowly let go of Mei Niang, watched her leave the room with a bright smile, he raised his sleeves to wipe the tears on his face, straightened his chest and back, and walked out with firm steps.
The brightly lit cabin was unusually quiet, Gongzi Cheng was motionless guarding Ye Ziyi, like a statue, and Yongyi on the side looked at his mother and father, his eyes were full of worry and helplessness.
Hearing the excitement outside, Yongyi couldn't help but get up and crawl towards the end of the couch, Ami, who was standing on the side, saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Yongyi's small body and put shoes on him.
With Ami's hand, Yongyi climbed off the bed lightly, put on a small cloak, and was escorted out of the hatch by Ami.
Seeing the two of them coming out, he grabbed Ami and asked. "How's ma'am? But you're still asleep?"
Ami nodded, looking at him with tears in her eyes. Mei Niang said that it was not good, so let the king hurry up and find Wu Ji. ”
"Yes, it seems that Fu Gongzi is also tossing for this. Fu You sighed lightly, looked down at Yongyi, and squatted in front of him to straighten his cloak. "Don't go over, Fu Gongzi is arranging manpower, it's very busy over there, you're too young, I'm afraid I'll accidentally hurt you." ”
"Big brother is going out, why are there so many people making noise here?" Yongyi bit her red mouth and thought for a while. "Fu right, you go over with me to take a look, my father and mother are not good, I need to know what the eldest brother is going to do, but I can't let him do anything else!"
"This ......" After a slight hesitation, Ami spoke on the side.
"You can take the eldest son over to have a look, and we can rest assured. ”
Flicking his head to the right, he saw that Ami was also worried, so he nodded. "It's okay, you go in first and keep guard, if the lady wakes up, someone will come to tell you. ”
"Good. Ami bowed her head and watched as the two of them turned past the corner of the cabin before entering the cabin.
Seeing that the servants kept moving the goods from the bilge to the side of the ship and lowering their heads, Yongyi pursed his lips and looked for Ah Fu's figure in the crowd, and saw the star-blue clothes exposed between the legs and feet of everyone in the crowd gathered on the side, Yongyi was very happy and trotted over with the right side.
"This time, you must follow the arrangement of Aunt Mei and the witches, you can't act without permission, this thing is not as good as the beast next to it, it has a spirituality, a slight mistake, it can make you and the whole army annihilated, remember to remember!"
Ah Fu told everyone very seriously, the voice with a child's voice was extremely calm, with the majesty of a superior person, not at all like a child less than ten years old.
"Yes!"
Everyone responded, and Ah Fu said in a deep voice. "Be careful, and go. ”
When everyone dispersed over there, Yongyi pounced, hugged Ah Fu and stuck to him. "Big brother!"
"Why are you here?"
"Hearing that there is movement outside, I am afraid that the eldest brother is in danger, so I will come to take a look. Yongyi raised his little face and blinked his big wet eyes. "Big brother, you're not going to risk with them, are you?"
"What am I going to do? I can't do it alone, it's just a burden, don't worry, I'm self-aware. Ah Fu patted Yongyi on the back, led him to the side of the boat, looked at the more than ten clippers under the boat, and said softly. "Let's just hope that everything goes well. ”
"When they come back, will the mother be saved?"
"I hope so......"
Looking at the busy scene under the big boat, Ah Fu let out a long sigh and raised his eyes to look at the mountains in the distance in the direction of the bow.
"I hope so......"
