Chapter 4 Livelihoods
The master and servant basked in the sun under the corridor for a while, Xing Niang came in from the small courtyard next door with medicine, saw Ran Yan sitting under the corridor, hurriedly walked over, put the tray on the railing, took Ran Yan's hand and cried with joy, "Lady is awake!" It's good to wake up, and the old slave will go and ask Doctor Wu to come over and take a look at you. ”
Ran Yan nodded. She also understands Chinese medicine pulse and dispensing, especially good at dispensing, but she is not very proficient in pulse control and the like, so it is good to let others confirm it.
Xing Niang went for a while, and then brought back a rickety old man, light brown old cloth robe, holding a gray cloth bag in his hand, snow-white hair, sparse white hair on the top of the head in a messy bun, with a wooden hairpin inserted on it, when walking, the falling bun swayed one after the other, and the sandals were worn out almost at any time.
This down-and-out appearance is far from making people see that the medical skills are superb.
Ran Yan doesn't judge people by their appearance, and from the residual memories, this old man is a bell doctor who walked the rivers and lakes casually in order to perfunctory the elders and Ah Lang in the stepfamily, named Wu Xiuhe.
I'm afraid that the step-room didn't expect that this bell doctor did have some real materials, so he dragged Ran Yan's illness for two years, and volunteered to stay in Zhuangzi to treat Ran Yan. At first, the Ran family also allocated him some silver taels, but now they don't allocate money anymore.
They all called Wu Xiu and the Divine Doctor, not because his medical skills were really superb, but just out of gratitude.
"Divine Doctor Wu." How to say that Wu Xiuhe can be regarded as Ran Yan's peer, and he is also quite benevolent, Ran Yan got up to greet him with the support of Wanlu.
Wu Xiuhe snorted twice, looked at Ran Yan, and saw that her face was pale and blue, and her beautiful eyes in the past were also full of death, and he couldn't help frowning, stretching out his fingers and pinching Ran Yan's slender wrist.
"The pulse is strong and continuous, which is a sign of great healing and health......" Wu Xiuhe stroked his sparse beard and said slowly.
Wu Xiuhe stared at Ran Yan's face again and again, and said strangely, "There is a sign of great healing, shouldn't this complexion be like this?" ”
Even if Wu Xiuhe's medical skills are superb, he will not know that this is because the soul in Ran Yan's body has changed and has not yet fully adapted to it, and in addition, Ran Yan was a half-dead and lifeless appearance in his previous life, how good can this face be!
Wu Xiuhe prescribed a prescription and handed it to Xing Niang, "Since it has improved, you have to change the prescription." ”
As soon as this prescription was prescribed, Xing Niang and Wan Lu's expressions were both happy and sad, happy that the lady who lingered on the sickbed finally got better, and the worry was that where did I have the money to grab the medicine now! Besides, this prescription is a good tonic.
Xing Niang quietly glanced at Wanlu and signaled her not to mention the matter in front of her mother.
Wan Lu pursed her lips tightly, reached out to take the prescription, carefully put it in her sleeve pocket, and persuaded Ran Yan to say, "The lady is recovering from a serious illness, let's go back to the house and rest, and the slave will go and grab the medicine." ”
Ran Yan didn't notice their small movements, but she just nodded and entered the house with Xing Niang's support.
Wu Xiuhe glanced at Wan Lu, and saw that she was holding her sleeve pocket tightly with one hand, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she felt bad in her heart, so she hurriedly whispered, "I went to the medical hall in the city to sit in the hall in the past few days, and I didn't collect money, but I got a lot of medicinal materials. ”
Evening Green's eyes turned red, and he knelt in front of Wu Xiuhe with a puff, and cried in a choked voice, "Your great kindness, my lady will definitely remember it!" I will be a cow and a horse in my next life, and I will repay you for this kindness! ”
"Alas!" Wu Xiuhe sighed, stretched out his hand to help Wan Lu, he was originally just a bell doctor who ate and drank everywhere, but he didn't expect that he really had a benevolent heart here, and he had never been so merciful for most of his life. Although it is a loss now, I also saw that there was a turning point in Seventeen Niang's life, and I estimated that I would be able to give back in the future, so I would do my best.
However, this Ran Seventeen Niang can't mention it, everything is obedient, and she doesn't know how to make progress at all! Wu Xiuhe raised his head and exhaled heavily, picked up the medicine box and turned to leave, feeling that the face was not very reliable, and now he was tired of helping, thinking about helping this last time, and Ma Yuer's roll was gone.
The evening green general stopped her tears, but saw Xing Niang walking out of the house, holding a golden hairpin in her hand, and lowered her voice with some anxiety, "Niangzi let sell this hairpin." ”
Wan Lu thought that he was going to sell the jewelry left by his wife, and said hurriedly, "But there are only so many things left, so I have to leave one or two as thoughts!" ”
"Not Madame's relics." Xing Niang handed the hairpin into Wanlu's hand, looking worried, "This is the lady's ...... yesterday The one I got from Eighteen Niang, the lady wants me to exchange this for money, but in case ......"
Wan Lu was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and grabbed the hairpin, and comforted Xing Niang, "This butterfly opera double-flower golden hairpin inlaid with gems is worth a lot of money, and it has been sold enough for us to live for three or five months, and the lady's medicine money has also been settled, don't worry." ”
Xing Niang looked at the evening green who trotted out, and her heart was up and down, Eighteen Niang is not a person who is willing to suffer, if it is...... Xing Niang was full of worries, but she thought that her mother had not seen meat for more than half a year, and now if it weren't for Doctor Wu's help, I'm afraid that even the medicine would have been cut off a long time ago, so she didn't stop it.
Ran Yan was lying on the couch, thinking about things groggyly, but at some point he gradually fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I was served by Wanlu in a daze and ate some porridge, and after a while, I was helped up and drank a bowl of medicine, and then fell asleep again.
For two days, Ran Yan has been in a semi-coma. Wu Xiuhe had already packed his luggage and was ready to leave, but Wanlu dragged him and didn't let go, Xing Niang also cried to death, Wu Xiuhe's mind was swollen without tossing, and he reluctantly agreed to wait for Ran Yan to wake up before leaving.
Wan Lu was afraid that he would regret it, so he took Wu Xiuhe's medicine box off and held him in his arms when he slept, so angry that Wu Xiuhe blew his beard and stared, but he was helpless, he was old, although his face was a little thicker, but he still wanted to have a face, so he couldn't reach out to grab something in the little girl's arms!
