Chapter 7: Cold Incense Pills
Liu Bowen took Chu Liuyan and rushed to Liu Yuanwai's mansion, Liu Yuanwai hurriedly greeted him and said, "Bowen, Yiyi is still unconscious, you must think of ways to save her." ”
Liu Bowen nodded solemnly and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I must think of a son to heal Yiyi." After speaking, he took Chu Liuyan to Liu Yiyi's room, Liu Yiyi was like a delicate flower, sleeping on the bed. Liu Bowen opened her makeup and searched for a long time, but found nothing.
Chu Liuyan asked, "Gongzi Liu, what are you looking for?" ”
Liu Bowen sighed and said, "I was originally looking for a medical book left by Master Jingshui for Yiyi, that medical book is Yiyi's treasure, and it is placed in this makeup on weekdays, but now I don't know why I can't find it." ”
Liu Bowen frowned and pondered, Chu Liuyan sighed and said: "I originally knew that there was an elixir that could cure all kinds of poisons, but now that I talk about it, I just talk about it." ”
Liu Bowen was slightly stunned, and then said: "Cure all kinds of poisons? A slight smile suddenly appeared on his face. He let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Miss Chu, there is indeed a medicine in the world today, which can always be poisonous, and I also made those medicines with Yiyi at the beginning. At that time, it took us three years to collect all the materials, but we never imagined that they would be able to use them now. I was in a hurry at first, but I didn't even think of it. ”
Chu Liuyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Young Master Liu, is the Chinese medicine you said a cold incense pill?" I saw it in my mother's diary, and I thought it was interesting, so I wrote it down. That kind of medicine is to make white peony flowers, white lotus flowers, white hibiscus flowers, and white plum blossom stamens each twelve taels of grinding, and use the rain of the rain season, the dew of the white dew season, the frost of the frost season, and the snow of the light snow season in the same year with honey, sugar, etc., to make a longan pill, put it in a vessel and bury it under the roots of the flower tree. When giving it to a poisoned person, it is enough to take one pill with a decoction of 12 taels of cork. ”
"Wonderful! It turned out that Miss Chu also knew this recipe. I thought this was the secret of the still water master, but I didn't think about it, but it turned out that it wasn't. Master Jingshui called this pill 'incense pill', which also said that it could cure all kinds of poisons. That year, Yiyi and I made it, put it in a clay pot, buried it under the roots of the flower tree, and before we knew it, it had been more than three years. I'll take it out now, decoction with twelve taels of cork, and give it to Yiyi. Liu Bowen was reminded by Chu Liuyan that there was still such a medicine that was ready-made, which could relieve the toxins in Liu Yiyi's body, and immediately lifted his spirits.
So, Liu Bowen and Chu Liuyan walked into the garden and dug out the clay pot from under the roots of the flower tree. It has been preserved for more than three years, and the color of the clay pot remains the same. When the clay pot was opened, a pungent medicinal fragrance came to the face, teaching people to smell it, and the spirit was very good. Chu Liuyan praised: "It turns out that this is the rumored cold incense pill, I thought it was a false medicine, but I never thought that it was really there." ”
Liu Bowen immediately ordered his subordinates to decoction the medicine. After more than half an hour, after the medicine was decocted, Liu Bowen personally fed Liu Yiyi and took it. In order to prevent Liu Yiyi from waking up in the middle of the night, Chu Liuyan and Liu Bowen stayed by the side for a whole night, and when it was almost dawn, Chu Liuyan was a little drowsy, and he slept for a while unconsciously. In her sleep, she saw Xie Cui'e covered in blood and asked her for her life, she was shocked and woke up like this.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and some dim sunlight in winter leaked in through the window, shining warmly on Liu Yiyi's face.
Chu Liuyan saw Liu Bowen's gloomy expression, and he already understood that the medicine he took yesterday was not effective. Chu Liuyan comforted and said, "Liu Gongzi, you don't have to worry too much, maybe it's because the amount of medicine is not enough." Maybe Miss Liu will wake up after taking medicine today. ”
In this way, Liu Yiyi took two more doses of medicine in a row, until the time of the lantern at night. During the day, Happy and Xiaoxiao guarded Liu Yiyi, and for this, Liu Bowen also specially gave Happy ten taels of silver. originally thought that Liu Yiyi would be able to wake up, but at night, it was still the same.
At this time, not only Liu Bowen was disappointed, but also Chu Liuyan, who was also decadent and depressed. Not to mention Liu Yiyi's life and death, there is still one day, which is the day when Xie Cui'e is injected, if Liu Yiyi can't wake up, then Xie Cui'e's leg may be difficult to heal, so ...... Chu Liuyan suddenly remembered the nightmare this morning, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
In this way, it took another night, and on the morning of the third day, Liu Bowen said to Chu Liuyan: "Miss Chu, I look at Yiyi...... I don't know when I'll wake up, and I don't know if she'll wake up, Miss Xie's leg hurts..... I'm not able to do it either. Now the top priority is to quickly find out the "Top Secret Medical Book" that Master Jingshui gave to Yiyi, maybe I can follow the above record and forcibly use the acupuncture method of the Seven Star Flying Immortals to diagnose and treat Miss Xie. ”
So, Liu Bowen and Chu Liuyan, plus Chang Yuchun, brought happiness, laughter, and a cadre of Liufu, Ding Mai, almost turned Liufu up and down, but did not find the book. The maid who served Liu Yiyi, whose name was Yingge'er, said that most of the books were lost. She remembered that one day, the young lady took a book to the back mountain to read, and when she came back, she was very depressed, and kept saying that she was sorry for the master, and she actually lost the medical book that the master had written all her life. At that time, Yingge'er didn't know what book it was, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's this one.
Suddenly, Chu Liuyan and Chang Yuchun's hearts were as cold as if they had been splashed with cold water and instantly frozen.
Time is too thin, like flowing water, slowly passing between the fingers. Unconsciously, it was time to get the needle on the morning of the fourth day, and Chu Liuyan, Chang Yuchun and others stayed awake all night.
Early in the morning, Chang Yuchun brought a bowl of bird's nest porridge to Xie Cui'e's room, Xie Cui'e saw Chang Yuchun and said happily: "Brother Chang, thank you for taking care of me these days." Miss Liu said, "I can be healed by sticking three more needles in my foot." When the time comes, no matter what Brother Chang asks me to do, I will never refuse. ”
Chang Yuchun felt astringent in his heart, which was very unpleasant. He forced a smile and reluctantly said, "Miss Xie, the injury on your leg is all caused by the fact that I didn't place you properly when I placed you on the horse. I should take care of you as well. You eat, I'll go out first. After saying that, he put the bird's nest porridge and planned to go out.
Often meet spring as a person, the most reckless and straightforward, never able to hide his thoughts. Xie Cui'e saw him walking out with a black face, so she asked him, "Brother Chang, what's wrong with you?" Why is the face so ugly? Did Chu Liuyan lie to you again? She's the best at deceiving people, so don't trust her in the future. ”
Chang Yuchun couldn't help but be a little impatient when he heard Xie Cui'e say this, he said stiffly: "Miss Xie, I am not happy in my heart, and I have nothing to do with the smoke girl, but ...... Instead, he ....... "but "several times" before he said: "Forget it, I still won't say it, Liu Gongzi and Liuyan Girl have instructed, don't tell you for the time being!" ”
Xie Cui'e was even more puzzled, and she asked eagerly: "Brother Chang, I know that you are the best to me on weekdays, what is the matter, you must not hide it from me." Can you bear to be with Chu Liuyan and hide everything from me to hurt me? When Xie Cui'e said these words, her whole eyes turned red.
Chang Yuchun usually couldn't see women crying, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, Miss Xie, these things have nothing to do with the smoke girl, it's Miss Liu...... Alas, Miss Liu...... Miss Liu, she ......"
"Huh? What's wrong with Miss Liu? Xie Cui'e asked anxiously.
Chang Yuchun stomped his feet and said, "Okay, okay, I won't hide it from you!" Anyway, you'll know about it sooner or later! Miss Liu has been in a coma for three days after being poisoned by crabs, and she has not woken up yet. Liu Gongzi and the Liuyan girl even gave her the rarest medicinal cold incense pill in the world, but she still didn't wake up. Fear...... Whether she is dead or alive, I'm afraid it's unpredictable, I'm afraid I can't come to give you a needle today! Chang Yuchun has been holding these words in his heart for a long time, and now he is finally able to say them, and he feels a lot happier.
However, he didn't expect Xie Cui'e's reaction at all. Xie Cui'e was stunned for a long time, then leaned out a large piece, pulled Chang Yuchun's clothes hard, and asked with a rather sad look: "You..... Are you telling the truth? Is there such a thing? You said..... Miss Liu, can't she come and ask me if I get a needle? Then I'...... Wouldn't I be crippled for the rest of my life? When Xie Cui'e said this, she couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.
Her cry alarmed many people, Chu Liuyan, Liu Bowen, Xiaoxiao, happy, and even Master Liu and Mrs. Liu, all rushed over.
"Miss Xie, are you okay?" Chu Liuyan took a few steps forward, walked in front of her, half-squatted down, and said to her.
"Chu Liuyan! It's you! It's you! It's all you, you evil spirit! You hurt me so miserably......" Xie Cui'e cried loudly, her voice was terrible, and her words were full of resentment.
Xie Cui'e's grievances frightened both Master Liu and Mrs. Liu. Liu Bowen hurriedly instructed Xiaoxiao and Happy to help the two old men go down to rest.
Xie Cui'e pulled Chu Liuyan's shirt and continued to cry: "Chu Liuyan, it's all you, I have fallen to this point today!" If it weren't for you, I would still be a young lady now, how could I send someone under the fence, crippled body, and suffer this kind of suffering! ”
