Chapter 17: The Dream of Smoke
Chu Tiankuo only felt that his nose was sore, his eyes were hot, and his chest suddenly began to hurt. It hurt so much that a cold sweat broke out on his back. I don't know if it's hurt or distressed, the pain makes him almost out of breath.
He reached out to touch Yanxiang's face, and as soon as he touched Yanxiang's forehead, he couldn't help but panic: "Why does it burn so badly?" ”
The doctor cruelly said the diagnosis: "The poison has entered the internal organs, and there is no way to return to heaven." Prepare for the future. ”
Everyone's eyes were red.
When Chu Tiankuo heard the critical illness notice from the doctor, he did not shout hysterically, but remained silent. His face, distorted by pain, was white and blue, and cold sweat was dripping.
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.
In front of everyone, Chu Tiankuo took the hand of the cigarette and put it on his cheek, and the hot tears dripped on the cold hand of the cigarette. He was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was not afraid of death. At the moment, he was terrified. His favorite little sister, the little sister he watched grow up, the innocent little sister, if he died, what fun would he have in life!
"Don't be so sad first, I've been infusing her with true anger and protecting her heart, and she won't have to worry about her life for the time being for three days. The palm of her was poisonous, and as long as the poison was detoxified, it could still be saved. Dongfang Hong patted Chu Tiankuo's shoulder and comforted him.
Dongfang Hong's words reminded Chu Tiankuo. Chu Tiankuo suddenly remembered the Bailu Pill. He subconsciously went to touch it in his arms, but he didn't find it after touching it for a long time. After doing it for a long time, he found out that his clothes had changed.
The pain made his mind confused and dull.
"Are you looking for this?" Lu Cai'er handed it over with understanding, it was the bottle containing the Bailu Pill.
Chu Tiankuo took the bottle tremblingly, unscrewed the cap with difficulty, and poured out a Bailu pill. Lu Caier helped the cigarette up, pinched her chin with one hand, and opened her mouth. Chu Tiankuo stuffed the Bailu Pill into his cigarette mouth. Dongfang Hong brought a bowl of water, and the medicine poured down the water.
Chu Tiankuo himself also took a Bailu pill. He sat at the head of the bed for about half an hour, looking at Yanxiang's pale face, which finally became bloody, his lips turned light red, and his expression was a little lighter. Reach out and touch the cigarette on your forehead, and the fever has subsided!
Doctor Gu leaned over and took the pulse of the cigarette again. After checking the pulse, the doctor said with a happy face: "The heartbeat is stable." There is no danger to life for the time being. ”
The stone that pressed on Chu Tiankuo's heart fell to the ground. When he got up, he pulled the wound, and there was a heart-rending pain, and he couldn't help but reach out to cover his chest.
"I'll take care of the cigarettes. She told me as soon as she woke up. Chu Tiankuo was a little dizzy and couldn't stand, so he couldn't help it.
"You go to the rest meeting. Give me the cigarettes, and you can rest assured. Lu Caier packed the ticket to him.
Chu Tiankuo left slowly.
Dongfanghong followed the doctor to grab the medicine.
Lu Caier stood in front of the bed of Yanxiang.
"Dongfang Gongzi, there are a few flavors of medicine that I still need to consider. You will come back in half an hour to get it. Doctor Gu touched his chin, his expression was very cold and calm.
Dongfanghong, who was standing anxiously waiting in the pharmacy, listened to Dr. Gu's words and felt reasonable, so he went back to the yamen first.
In the yamen, Dongfang Hong will rescue Chu Tiankuo in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Chu Tiankuo was seriously injured and reported to the prefect in detail. After hearing this, the prefect looked ashamed and sighed that as a parent official, he protected him thoroughly. He explained to Dongfang Hong and asked Chu Tiankuo to recuperate from his injuries. After his injuries have healed, he will be arrested and brought to justice. If Xiang Ye interrogates this case, he has his own explanation.
After Dongfang Hong left, Doctor Gu opened the note in his hand in a panic. On the way back, a stranger secretly slipped a note into him.
The note reads:
If you poison the medicine, either he dies or you die.
Doctor Gu sneered, ignored it, and after reading it, tore up the note and continued to dispense.
An hour later, Dongfanghong came to get the medicine.
Lying on the hospital bed, the cigarette is dreaming one after another.
She dreamed that when she was a child, her elder brother took her to fly a kite. The kite flew so high and so high, and she smiled so happily.
The elder brother handed her the string of the kite, and she pulled it playfully, and suddenly, the string broke, and the kite flew away with the wind. She cried and begged her brother to go and get the kite back. The elder brother has been gone for a long time and has not returned. She stood there waiting, waiting, waiting, and the rain was falling. She was so anxious that she cried.
At this time, the elder brother came back with the kite in his hand, but the kite had been drenched beyond recognition by the rain. Now she cried even more sadly.
The senior brother hurriedly wiped her tears, "Be good, don't cry." Senior brother will help you make a bigger and more beautiful kite. Hearing this, the smoke stopped the tears.
"Senior brother, you're soaking wet." Yanxiang touched the elder brother's clothes and said guiltily.
"Senior sister, aren't you the same? Let's go back to the house. Chu Tiankuo pulled her and ran.
On the same day, she began to have a fever. Lying in bed, groggy. The cool hand of the senior brother caressed her forehead, so comfortable.
……
In the dream, she continued to dream.
I dreamed that she confessed to her senior brother. The elder brother rejected her eloquently, saying that he had already had a crush, and that he had always just treated her as a sister and told her not to think nonsense all day long. When she was rejected, she couldn't hold her face, she was ashamed and angry. She jumped on the horse in a huff, and her legs clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse ran forward desperately in pain. The elder brother rode a horse and chased after her.
The two of them walked one after the other to the edge of the cliff. Yanxiang grabbed the reins and reined in the horse, she jumped off the horse and threatened Chu Tiankuo who was riding on the horse behind her: "You go to find your crush." Leave me alone. If you come again, I'll jump. ”
Chu Tiankuo was afraid that she would do something stupid impulsively, so in a hurry, he blurted out: "Senior sister, be good." Come back with me. I'll marry you. Do you marry or not? ”
Yanxiang was ecstatic, and replied excitedly and loudly: "Marry." ”
Unexpectedly, the horse heard a voice: "Ride!" Quickly rushed forward and fell off the cliff with Chu Tiankuo.
"Big brother!"
The cigarette was so crying that she woke up from her dream.
Smoke rubbed his eyes in confusion and looked around in horror. The hollow carved windows shine into the speckled sunlight, under the body is a soft wooden bed, the delicate carved decoration is extraordinary, the body is a brocade quilt, turned sideways, the guqin stands in the corner, the bronze mirror is placed on the wooden dresser, the room is so fresh and leisurely.
"It's fine. Just a dream. The cigarette incense caressed his chest and sighed.
Lu Cai'er walked in from outside with a bowl of medicine. When I woke up to the smell of smoke, I was so happy that I spilled all the soup in the bowl.
"Sister Yanxiang, it's really good that you're awake. You've been in a coma for so long, and you've scared the hell out of us. Lu Caier strode over, picked up the cigarette and drank the medicine.
The color of the medicine is light yellow, although it smells like a medicinal fragrance, it looks like urine, and it tastes particularly bitter and astringent. I won't drink it anymore.
