010 Vegetarian Medicine
There are no fireworks in the Huaixi Building.
The girls who sang the song leaned on the chairs one by one, and the smell of rouge gouache in the air became stronger and stronger.
Yan'er grinded her nails, dyed rouge, looked at the depressed scene outside the door and couldn't help sighing, no one listened to the music, and thought about it, the city is full of widows, how can anyone listen to the music.
Liu Hong flipped through the account book, and there was no income this month, and she sighed.
Nanxi leaned on the railing of the building, looking at the team slowly advancing from a distance, there were about a dozen carriages, all of which were wounded, and on each carriage lay a dozen or so soldiers covered in blood, looking overwhelmed.
The blood stained all the carriages red, and these carriages were connected together, slowly heading towards Kecheng, like a large earthworm slowly advancing.
The soldiers in the car were devastated and had hollow eyes, like wandering spirits returning from hell.
When the carriage arrived at Huaixi Tower, a smell of blood came to his nose, almost disgusting, Nanxi ran down the platform, rushed to the street to stop a soldier transporting the wounded, and asked, "This big brother, how is the battle ahead?" ”
The soldier turned around with blood-red eyes and said with fear on his face: "Zhu Yanjun is simply a demon, our army has been lost one after another, and has retreated to Hong Station!" With that, he continued to drag his tired legs forward.
Hong Station is only 100 miles away from Kecheng, so if Kecheng is attacked from both sides, he is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious! Nanxi secretly felt that it was not good.
In the past few days, horse-drawn carriages transporting the wounded have come back one after another, and the soldiers have posted notices on the low wall outside the door, and immediately people have surrounded them, and Nanxi has also come up. At first glance, he was actually recruiting doctors, and he wanted to come to the war urgently, there were many wounded, and he was afraid that there was a shortage of manpower, so Nanxi became anxious in his heart.
"This big brother, can the woman go?" A plain woman asked.
The woman was dressed plainly, with a slender body, a slightly pale complexion, and a sickly look.
The soldier looked at her and said, "The girl is so thin and weak, she will definitely not be able to bear it when she arrives at the barracks, so please go back!" ”
The woman was about to say something, but the words came to her lips and swallowed again.
Nanxi stepped forward: "This eldest brother said that this woman can't, can the little girl go?" ”
The soldier looked Nanxi up and down: "It's better for the woman not to go, go back and sing the song!" ”
When Nanxi heard this, he turned around quickly, pulled out the hilt of the sword on the soldier's waist and put the sword on his neck: "Why shouldn't a woman?" ”
The soldier was shocked: "The girl can go and give it a try!" ”
She inserted her sword into its scabbard: "In a while, I will go now!" ”
In the past few years, Nanxi and the girls have practiced diligently every day, although they are not masters, but they still have two tricks to show off.
Nanxi smiled at the plain-clothed woman and pulled her aside: "If the girl wants to go, I have an idea!" ”
The plain-clothed woman looked puzzled: "What does the girl have in mind?" ”
"Don't hide it from the girl, the little girl doesn't know how to heal, if you are willing to take me and my sisters as apprentices, we can go together and take care of each other."
The woman frowned and stretched: "Little girl Zhixiang, I am willing to go with the girl!" ”
She pulled Zhixiang into Huaixi Building, and Liu Hong immediately came up: "Miss, why did you bring the girl here again?" The building hasn't received money in months! ”
Nanxi saw her pair of willow eyebrows twisted, so she smiled and said, "Introduce a girl to everyone, Zhixiang." ”
The girls immediately surrounded them, and one girl asked, "Sister Zhixiang, do you know how to sing or play the piano?" ”
Zhi Xiang smiled shyly and a slight flush appeared on her pale face: "Sisters, Zhi Xiang neither knows how to sing music nor understand music, Zhi Xiang can only decoct medicine to see diseases." ”
Speaking of which, Nanxi couldn't continue to sell Guanzi anymore, so he said: "Sisters and sisters, everyone has seen that every day the wounded are transported back to the city from the battlefield, and now the bad West Building is empty, it is better to follow this sister Zhixiang to learn how to cure diseases and save people." ”
A girl wondered: "Having said that, but the medical skills are broad and profound, how can we be competent?" ”
Nanxi smiled and said: "Although the medical skills are broad and profound, but this medicine, medicine, and decoction can be learned, put aside the incurable diseases for the time being, simple wind chill and cough can also be learned, and now the war is tight, most of the soldiers are knife wounds, arrow wounds, and doctors are scarce, learning how to deal with injuries is the top priority." ”
After that, there was an uproar.
Nanxi continued: "Now that Huaixi Building has no income, I can only guarantee for the time being that you will not lack food and clothing, and those who are willing to stay will leave a name with Miss Liu Hong, and those who are not willing to stay will receive your monthly profit here in Xiaojin."
Soon someone claimed: "Miss is so kind to me that I will follow her!" ”
Some of the girls came forward and left their names, and some of them took the money. "The world is in turmoil, everyone has their own aspirations, let them go!" Nanxi sighed and got busy.
The door of Huaixi Building was closed, and the girls left in the building gathered together, and there were dozens of people inside and out, including the maids of Nanfu and the sisters of the girls.
Nanxi stood on the bright moon platform, picked up the pipa and played the song "Lifu", the sound of the song was quiet and penetrating, like crying and complaining......
After the song, she put down the pipa, got off the bright moon platform, looked at the prosperous Huaixi Tower in the past and sighed: "Girls, do you know why I let you learn to ride horses and shoot arrows on weekdays?"
"In order to survive one day, no longer be bullied!" A girl replied.
"That's right, as women, we have been burdened with the mission of husband and child since childhood, but you and I were born in this troubled world, only on our own! Now that the men in Kecheng have gone to the battlefield ahead, we don't need to play music and practice dancing anymore, from today on, the girls will learn medical skills from Sister Zhixiang, and those who perform well can take away this pair of golden hairpins! ”
Xiao Jin presented a box containing a pair of peony golden forks, which looked extremely luxurious.
The girls craned their necks, their hearts were very excited, and they all thought that it would be great if they could get the pair of peony golden hairpins.
The once prosperous Huaixi Building became a medical hall overnight.
Originally, Nanxi thought that Zhixiang could teach the girls some fur things, and it was good to deal with the urgency on the battlefield, but she didn't expect Zhixiang to be extremely calm, both in heart and medical skills, which exceeded her supposed age. Zhixiang looks like she is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she has superb medical skills! It's a pity that Zhixiang is weak and sick and can't self-medicate, Nanxi slowly learned that Zhixiang was born in a medical family, and his father was the imperial doctor in the palace, and his father retired after losing power.
The days are getting tighter and tighter, Nanxi is learning to become fanatical, she keeps urging the sisters in the building, they are learning to cure diseases and save people, but they can't be sloppy! Under her supervision, the girls improved faster, and Huaixi Building gradually had the posture of a medical hall.
The doctors in the city were all invited to the barracks, and the women and children entered the Huaixi Building to see the disease, who would have thought that the Huaixi Building, which was full of men in the past, is now full of women and children.
One day, Nanxi and the sisters went up the mountain to collect medicine, and the girls all returned with a full load, singing a little song along the way on the way back to the city, Xiaoju suddenly shouted: "Miss Yan'er is gone!"
Nanxi was taken aback: "Stop, look for it!"
The sisters were easy to find, and finally Nanxi found Yan'er at the entrance of a low cave in the mountains, only to see her messy hair trembling and shrinking by the edge of the cave, Nanxi walked up, Yan'er's eyes were like a flustered deer trembling and erratic, Nanxi thought, could it be that something happened to make her so embarrassed. went up to comfort her, and Yan'er sobbed and told her that she had killed someone!
