Chapter 42: The Fragrance of Lingling

Wen Yi was too embarrassed for a while, because she saw that "Liu Guanhai" also bowed her head and didn't speak, Luo Mingmin and Xunwen were even more confused, only the new old man stroked his beard and smiled silently. In order to break the deadlock, she first said goodbye to the old man, and when she saw that the bamboo basket on his back was full of herbs, she guessed: "Old man, but what the people in the village said about Old Doctor Xiao?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "Although the old man thinks that he is a practitioner of medicine, the world never treats me as a doctor. Since the little girl knows who I am, don't laugh at my old man for relying on the old and selling the old, just like the people in the village, just call me Grandpa Xiao. ”

Wen Yi laughed twice, didn't dare to hold it up, respectfully called "Grandpa Xiao", and asked, "Your old man is here to collect medicine today?" The younger generation heard the daughter of the Qin family in the village say that the granddaughter of the village chief's grandfather often came here to collect medicine, so he was curious for a moment and wanted to come and take a look. It's just that when I arrived at the place, I felt that the medicinal herbs here didn't seem to be grown naturally, could it be that Grandpa Xiao planted them? ”

Old Doctor Xiao was happy when he heard it: "Your eyes are down!" You're talking about the Emerald Flower Girl, right? That girl is the most tricky and naughty, when she was a child, she plucked people's beards, and when she was older, she picked people's herbs! This is not my place, but I saw that this place is suitable for growing medicine, so I sprinkled a few handfuls of seeds, I don't want to really plant them, which is also an unexpected joy. Later, when I got the seeds of herbs, I still sprinkled them here, and with the output, I could save some money by prescribing medicine to people. Cuihua and Yunni, two little girls, came to toss in the town, picked my medicine, and asked me for money! got the money but ran to buy flower powder, it can be seen that the little girl has grown up and loves to dress up, my old man can't help them, so I have to admit this loss! ”

Although he was scolding in his mouth, he kept smiling on his face, and there was a bit of doting in his eyes, which showed that he didn't really blame Cuihua and Yunni. Wen Yi smiled with him, and said: "There are so many herbs in this small valley, you may not be able to pick them, if you tell them and ask them to help you, and then reward a few more money, it's the same, isn't it better than them breaking your medicine without knowing the roots?" ”

Doctor Xiao stroked his beard and was happy: "That's right!" Ming'er will call them! He pointed at Liu Luo and the others: "These two boys have been pestering me with a headache recently, I asked them to help, but unfortunately they are clumsy, but they have ruined the good medicine!" Seeing Luo Mingmin pouting, his eyes widened: "Am I not right?!" If you are impatient, get out of here as soon as possible! ”

Luo Mingmin was silent, burying his head in the bamboo basket, Old Doctor Xiao shook his head, turned his head to look at Liu Dongxing, and slowed down his expression: "You kid still has some rules, much better than a few days ago!" Liu Dongxing bowed his head and was silent, but the roots of his ears were red.

Old Doctor Xiao didn't seem to see his embarrassment, he only turned around and smiled at Wen Yi and said, "The girl is much more careful than the boy." Little girl, when I saw you coming, I carefully avoided the roots of the herbs, I'm afraid you are also a medicine savvy, right? ”

Wen Yi took her eyes off Liu Dongxing's ears and smiled at Old Doctor Xiao: "You only need to know some superficial truths, but my grandmother has old diseases all year round, so I know a few medicines a little more." ”

"Oh?" Old Doctor Xiao blinked, "What kind of old illness is it?" After a pause, he smiled again, "That's it, look at your dress, I know that it is not an ordinary family, I must have invited a good doctor to take a look, and my old man will not have to do much." ”

"You're being too modest." Wen Yi said cautiously, "The people around Taiping Mountain, who doesn't know that your old man has excellent medical skills?" My grandmother's illness has been for many years, and I have invited more than a dozen doctors, including one or two famous doctors, but they have not been well, and I always have to make several mistakes every autumn and winter. The younger generation saw it in his eyes, and he was anxious in his heart, and he heard about your old name, and he had the heart to ask you for advice! ”

Old Doctor Xiao stroked his beard and smiled: "The little girl is really good at talking." Then tell me about your grandmother's symptoms? ”

Wen Yi hurriedly explained Mrs. Lu's illness in detail, and then talked about the prescriptions prescribed by several doctors who came to the door, including those prescribed by Mrs. Wangβ€”she had been worried about her grandmother's stubborn illness for a long time, and these things had long been remembered in her heart.

Old Doctor Xiao put down the medicine basket, sat down on the stone next to him at will, and lowered his head to think. Wen Yi didn't dare to bother, only secretly glanced at Liu Luo and the others, and saw that Luo Mingmin sneakily pulled Xunwen away, but Liu Dongxing didn't realize it, she still lowered her head and sorted out the basket of herbs, she bit her lip, turned her head, and waited solemnly for Doctor Xiao's response.

Doctor Xiao thought for a while, then brought out a prescription prescribed by Mrs. Wang, and said: "This prescription is very good, it is prescribed by a famous doctor who is really capable, but it is a little more peaceful, and the medicine is insufficient, so your grandmother ate it, and when she saw it at the time, she caught a cold and committed it again." But if you still take this prescription when you commit it again, there is something wrong, and this famous doctor doesn't prescribe the right medicine again? He's not afraid of breaking the sign?! ”

Wen Yi knows in her heart that the prescription prescribed by Mrs. Wang is good, but not every time you can invite someone, sometimes you have to find other doctors, their medical skills are limited, and the prescription prescribed may not be the right one, but I am afraid that my grandmother's illness will drag on for so many years, and there is also this reason. She was worried that the prescription was a very large old lady doctor, which would make the old man in front of her hesitate and dare not prescribe the prescription with confidence, so she only said: "This doctor has a great reputation, but he does not live nearby, and the grandmother of the family met by chance, and only invited him to see it a few times, but it is usually extremely difficult to invite, so the grandmother most of the time takes other people's medicine, or when she is sick, she grabs the medicine according to this prescription to eat, but it does not work every time. ”

Old Doctor Xiao shook his head when he heard this: "That's a delay, no matter how good the prescription is, it won't work every time, if you can't invite this powerful doctor, I'd rather find a doctor with sound medical skills, carefully diagnose and treat, and prescribe the right medicine, even if you can't break the root for a while, at least it won't aggravate the condition." Little girl, your family's approach is not very clever, how can you let the patient take medicine indiscriminately without seeing the doctor? ”

Wen Yi's face was red when she heard this, and she was ashamed in her heart. In her previous life, she was ignorant, she only knew that her grandmother was sick again and had to take medicine, where did she know if the prescription was right? Even after being reborn, she didn't know how to use medicine, she only knew that the prescription was prescribed by the old lady Wang, and her grandmother didn't ask much when she saw that it was good. Only then did I realize how negligent I was!

Doctor Xiao said again: "It's good that you met me today, otherwise if you eat this recipe for a long time, you will be sick if you don't get sick!" He said a few more symptoms, "At least six months, at most two or three years, it will be like this!" If you are contaminated with current symptoms during this period, within four years, there will be serious symptoms! ”

Wen Yi was convinced. The symptoms he mentioned were the same ones that my grandmother had later, and she became seriously ill four years later. She felt more and more that it was a wise decision to find this old doctor, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask Grandpa Xiao, how can my grandmother's illness be cured?" ”

Doctor Xiao said: "It's hard to say, although I listened to your statement and knew your grandmother's symptoms, but what is her situation now, I still have to check the pulse to figure it out, otherwise I wouldn't dare to prescribe a prescription!" If you really want me to go to the doctor, tell me where your family lives. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "We have rented Yunni's house to live in now, and Sister-in-law Qin has already said that she will sell the house to my family because she plans to take her children to Beijing to find relatives." Just go to her house. ”

"So you're the new landlord in Xishan Village?" Old Doctor Xiao had also heard the news before, so he didn't say much, "Okay, it's a little late today, tomorrow's holiday, I don't know if your family is busy, I will go over the morning after tomorrow (ten o'clock in the morning), you go back and discuss with the elders, if you can't trust me, close the door then." ”

Wen Yixi said: "How dare the juniors?!" It is a blessing for the younger generations that you can come when you are old! Thinking that her grandmother's old illness was expected to be cured, she couldn't stop rejoicing, and suddenly remembered the cousin of the Nie family, and hurriedly said: "There is another patient...... She smiled a little embarrassedly, "A cousin of a close relative in the younger generation also has an old illness, and he is sick and weak all year round......

Luo Mingmin turned back at some point, and interjected and asked, "Are you talking about Nie Heng?" He's not an old disease, is he? It's clearly a weak disease brought about by the womb, and I've seen countless doctors when I was in Cannes, and if it can be cured, it would have been cured a long time ago, and I would have waited until this time?! ”

Wen Yi's expression was gloomy when he heard this, but Liu Dongxing glanced at him disapprovingly: "How can Elder Xiao and those quacks talk the same day?!" Why hadn't Mrs. Gu seen a few doctors before? How many more have been cured?! Who can be like Xiao Lao, and explain the future symptoms clearly?! Maybe his old man just has a way to deal with Nie Heng's illness?! ”

Luo Mingmin rolled his eyes and muttered secretly: "What kind of sycophants are you shooting?!" Old Doctor Xiao glared at him, looked at Liu Dongxing with a smile, and then turned back to Wen Yi and said, "The old man has not seen the patient, so he doesn't dare to pack the ticket." However, even if a person has a weak disease in the womb and is even frail and sickly, it is not impossible to strengthen the body. It just so happens that if your grandmother's illness really wants to be cured, it is indispensable to supplement it with dietary therapy, so you simply invited your cousin to come together, I read it together, and prescribed a few medicinal diet prescriptions for him to try, if it works, it will be better, you have to take care of your body, and then you dare to use medicine seriously! ”

Wen Yi was overjoyed, thanked again and again, and couldn't help but redden: "If my grandmother and cousin's illness can be cured, it will be willing to break my life." The younger generation must thank each other for the gift! ”

Old Doctor Nie smiled and waved his hand: "What kind of gift?" The old man doesn't need that, if you really want to thank me, there is one thing that can help. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly asked what was the matter. He pointed to the herbs around him: "This is a borderless place, because I sprinkled the seeds of herbs here, and I was born and raised, so it became a place for me to collect medicines." However, I am busy practicing medicine on weekdays, and I rarely come to take care of it, and most of the herbs I plant are useless, and it is even more delusional to want to grow some valuable medicines. In addition, children from nearby villages come to play from time to time, and many medicinal herbs are trampled on and damaged, which makes people feel distressed......"

Wen Yi immediately picked up smartly: "The younger generation has newly bought the land on the slope outside, not far from here, if you don't dislike it, I will call two people to come and guard it, and tell people not to enter the valley at will, but they don't know how to grow medicinal herbs, I'm afraid they need your old man's guidance!" ”

Old Doctor Xiao laughed: "You girl is really smart!" Since you said it yourself, I also saved my effort. Teaching people is wrapped up in the old man! But after all, this place is ownerless, and if you have money to spare, it is best to buy this place and use it as a place to grow medicine. You don't have to worry that the medicine you grow will be in vain, the old man knows a few pharmacies, and you can just ask them to collect the medicine you grow here. The old man doesn't take advantage of you, he just asks you to sell me the medicine at a cheaper price. ”

This was just Chinese Yi's heart, and after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and decided to squeeze out a piece of silver to do this no matter what, and when the newly bought slave arrived home, she would send a male servant to do it! Originally, it was best to trust her uncle's house, but she kept an eye on it, and felt that it was more appropriate to hold Xiaogu in her own hands. The eldest cousin wants to use medicine, and she naturally supplies it for free, but if Xiaogu falls into the name of her uncle's family, it will not be so convenient for her grandmother to take medicine, and there is still a lot of money left over from the family to buy property, but the Nie family has almost poured it out, and the next thing is to build a hot spring village. She secretly told herself, this is also to reduce the burden of her uncle's family, isn't it?

After making up her mind, Wen Yi said to Doctor Xiao: "Please rest assured, the younger generation will do their best!" In the future, if the medicine is successful, you can take it as you like. The younger generation only asks for the safety of their grandmother and cousin, and the profit is secondary. ”

Old Doctor Xiao understood when he heard this, but he was still in a very happy mood, and nodded again and again: "Okay!" Good! That's a big deal! Now the old man is really going to show his housekeeping skills! He inadvertently turned around, and when he saw Luo Mingmin making a strange face again, he glared at him: "Look what you have tossed all the good medicine into?!" After saying that, he rushed over and snatched a cyan plant that he held in his hand at random: "This is medicine, not grass!" What are you playing it for?! ”

Luo Mingmin was startled by him, and couldn't help but hide back, but as soon as he grabbed his wrist, he pulled into the woods: "What did you call that little guy to do?!" I've got a lot of good things growing in it! Don't pull out all my pills! Luo Mingmin was so painful by his grip that he kept turning back to Liu Dongxing for help, but Liu Dongxing twisted his head away.

Wen Yi and the two of them stayed where they were, looking at each other unintentionally, but suddenly remembered what happened before, and became embarrassed again.

This time it was Liu Dongxing who broke the deadlock: "This ...... Xiao Lao...... In fact, he used to be a famous miracle doctor in the army......"

"Huh?!" Wen Yi was taken aback and looked up.

Liu Dongxing seemed to feel more comfortable, so he continued to smile: "Not only that, but because he has made many military exploits, he has been crowned a marquis with military merits. Have you ever heard of Xiao Yixiao's military division that terrified the barbarians in northern Xinjiang in the past? ”

Wen Yi was born in a prestigious family, and he also taught some famous things in this dynasty, so he heard this name: "I know, it is the Marquis of Dingbei, isn't it?" It's just that how did he end up here...... "and became a country doctor."

Liu Dongxing lowered his voice: "I don't know the specifics, I only know that before he ascended the throne today, there was some chaos in the court, and some of Xiao Lao's descendants were swept in, and they were all gone, Xiao Lao was probably disheartened, so he hung up his crown and left, right?" There is an old master in Cannes Academy, who is his best friend in life, and once I accidentally mentioned it, I only learned that he was here, and he also changed his name to Xiao Yi, so the world does not know about it......"

Wen Yi fell silent. Looking at Dr. Xiao's words and deeds, I only knew that he had an extraordinary background, but I didn't expect his identity to be so prominent! It's just that he was born and died for half his life, but he can't even save his children and grandchildren, and his old man is just a sad person......

She whispered, "It's good that you know it yourself, in front of his old man...... Don't talk about the past......"

Liu Dongxing nodded: "I won't be so nonsense." ”

The two of them looked at each other, but they didn't feel comfortable.

Wen Yi bit her lip and asked, "You...... Do you want to ask him for medical advice? Still is...... Want to learn how to lead? ”

Liu Dongxing was silent.

Wen Yi put aside his face and said, "Xunwen recommended someone from Caojia Village to help our family...... You told it, right? I haven't thanked you yet......"

Liu Dongxing still didn't speak, but the roots of his ears turned red again, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "You...... Next time, someone else will come out...... Something to ask someone to accompany you, running around like this all day long...... Also called people...... Tell your family to worry about ......"

Wen Yi lowered her eyes and did not respond. Naturally, she knew that it was not a problem for her to run outside all day! But what can she do? Just get through this.

The breeze blew again, and the small valley was filled with the aroma of tonka. Wen Yi was a little stunned, and couldn't help but think of the scene when her father was mixing incense for herself when she was a child, and her mother was embroidering incense sachets on the side, and she was very touched for a while. Liu Dongxing recalled the aroma he often smelled in the cradle when he was a child, and couldn't help but look at the tonka bush in front of him.

He took a step forward, carefully picked a small bunch of flowers, turned around, smiled at Wen Yi, and handed it over: "I heard that this can calm the nerves, you can bring some back, and ...... at night Put it next to your pillow...... No matter how busy things are, you should also pay attention to rest...... Don't get tired......"

Wen Yi involuntarily took the flower branch, suddenly woke up, hurriedly retracted her hand, gritted her teeth, said thank you, and turned her head away. After only taking a few steps, he turned back to stare at Liu Dongxing and said, "You will ...... in the future." Concentrate on learning from Xiao Lao, our family's affairs ...... I can do it! Can't do it...... I...... I ......," she bowed her head, "I'll ask for help...... and she ran away.

Liu Dongxing was stunned in place, watching her back disappear into the valley, before sitting back, looking at the surrounding tonka incense, smelling the reassuring aroma, and couldn't help laughing.
