Chapter 11
"Oh, this uncle, I haven't seen you before, did you come to our Xiuchun Building, do you want to drink, or do you want to find a good friend?" An old woman with a grease-smeared handkerchief in her hand stopped in front of a strange man in a gray-brown robe and a blue belt. She shook the handkerchief in her hand as she spoke, making the robe weirdo's nose itch and almost sneeze out.
"Drinking. The strange man didn't talk much, and his eyes weren't very friendly, and although his mouth moved twice, his eyes didn't look at the bustard at all, but began to look inside. This embroidered spring building is the most popular Fengyue field in the city, it has just arrived in the afternoon, but there are already many people, men and women are laughing and scolding, completely ignoring the eyes of others.
"You're here for the first time, and I'll tell you, you can drink and ...... Oh, why do you just break into it? Da Chun, Da Chun, follow that robe and get him out for me. Seeing that the robe stranger was unwilling to deal with her, the old bustard went straight inside, and hurriedly beckoned the thugs on the side.
The thug called Da Chun looked like he was on his back, and after a few brisk steps, he chased after the robe stranger, and Da Chun reached out to reach out and probe the strange man's shoulder, and pulled it back with all his might. The robe strange man looked like he was in his forties, his face was gray and his neck was thin, and the robe was dressed on him like a large mosquito net hanging on a bamboo pole. The strange man was pulled by Da Chun like this, but he didn't struggle, and fell straight back along the way, and fell directly into Da Chun's arms.
"I have an appointment. The robe stranger put one hand around Da Chun's waist, said without hurry, and with the other hand took out a wooden sign from the robe and shook it in front of Da Chun.
A big man in broad daylight is holding a strange man, and it's in this kind of fireworks and willow alley, how embarrassing it is. Da Chun helped the robe stranger up, turned his hand into a fist and coughed a few times on the side of his mouth, then took the sign and looked at it, pointed out the direction to the stranger, turned his head and walked towards the door alone, and spread his hands at the old bustard as he walked, which means that the person is a guest who has spent money, and I can't drive it away. When the bustard saw this scene, he stopped asking.
The robe freak found the room and pushed the door in. Not to mention that there are beautiful women who drink with them, there is not even a ghost shadow in it. The strange man turned back and closed the door, and looked at it carefully, only to find that the window was open in the compartment behind the screen, and there was a table of eight immortals not far from the window, and on the table there was a pigeon standing motionless, occasionally cooing.
He walked around the screen and took a closer look, which was a carrier pigeon with a small wax-sealed paper roll tied to its left leg. It seems that the person who asked him to meet didn't want to be recognized, so he chose this mysterious way. The stranger in the robe grabbed the pigeon with both hands, and the pigeon was quietly held in his hand, obediently allowing the stranger to remove the wax seal. But as soon as he put the pigeon back on the table, the pigeon suddenly flapped its wings without warning, and was about to fly out of the house towards the open window. The strange man didn't have time to think, so he quickly shook out a slender tube from his cuff, and said three words softly in his mouth, "catch up", and then raised his hand. As if nothing had happened, the carrier pigeon flew away, and the strange man opened the wax paper scroll, on which were written dense words the size of a fly's head, and he read it carefully, and then, as the paper roll said, bent down and groped under the bed, and found two large silver tickets. He put away the silver ticket, sat down at the table and poured himself a pot of cold tea, got up and left Xiuchun Building after drinking.
Gongsun Guangxiao is a little annoying these days. More than a week has passed since the old lady's ninetieth birthday, and the affairs of the family have been on the right track, and everyone is doing their own things step by step and busy with their own work, but there is no clear statement about the burning of the silk village, and Wang Zhutou occasionally talks to himself, and what he says is on the scene, and he doesn't know what the specific progress is. He specially asked his nephew Gongsun Shengyan, Gongsun Shengyan seemed to know less than himself, if it weren't for the high enough cultivation over the years, he really wanted to lose his temper in front of Wang Zhutou for this matter. In addition, Gongsun Shengqiu said that he wanted to propose marriage, if he deliberately went to the Zhou family for this matter, in case the other party did not take a fancy to Gongsun Shengqiu, he agreed not to agree because of the situation, but let himself break the rules of the Zhou family's choice of relatives, and everyone was embarrassed. Don't say it, this grandson Shengqiu has already asked himself twice, and each time he is still vibrant, what kind of marriage event is passed on from generation to generation, and it is not good to scold his nephew for this kind of thing, yes, who has never been young, and besides, this is not a non-trivial requirement, so I want to hide when I hear it.
Things are done one by one, first find an excuse to go to the old lady to ask, if you need to give Mr. Zhou a gift back, the old lady will definitely not stop it, so that you can take the opportunity to mention it to Mr. Zhou.
Gongsun Guangxiao made up his mind, and walked to the old man's residence, and when he was about to arrive, he saw the old lady's subordinates running around like hornets that had been stabbed in a honeycomb, and a maid almost hit herself in a hurry with her head down. Gongsun Guangxiao felt bad in his heart, and he didn't care about losing his temper, so he grabbed the maid and asked loudly: "Why are you so in a hurry, what's going on?"
Seeing that it was Gongsun Guangxiao, the maid quickly stood still, and said breathlessly: "Old lady...... Old lady ......"
"What's wrong with the old lady?" Gongsun Guangxiao's anxious temper instantly came up, and he grabbed the maid's shoulder and shook it vigorously while asking.
"Uh......h Woo...... The old lady had just finished eating, saying that he was going to the backyard for a walk, but he didn't let us help him, but he accidentally fell down heavily, and now he has fainted and has not woken up. ”
"You waste!" Gongsun Guangxiao was so angry that he slapped the maid with a shake of his hand, and the maid was completely stunned after being slapped by this slap, and stood motionless in front of him, unable to say a word.
"What are you doing in a daze, tell them to go to the doctor and Mr. Zhou!" Gongsun Guangxiao almost roared.
The maid came back to her senses and hurried out again.
After a short time, the people with some status in the Gongsun family came to the old lady's house, and Gongsun Guangxiao only let his brothers and sisters into the house, and the rest of the people waited outside. The old lady was lying on the bed, still unconscious, with a hole in her forehead, and the bleeding had almost stopped, but the doctor had not yet come, and she did not dare to bandage it, her body was covered with a silk quilt, one leg was exposed, the position of the knee joint was obviously misplaced, and the trouser leg was also mentioned above the thigh.
"Second brother...... "Gongsun Guangxiao's sister asked anxiously.
"Okay, you guys go out too, it won't help you here," Gongsun Guangxiao looked at the brothers and sisters and said, "Big brother, you stay." ”
Just as they were about to go out, the door creaked open from the outside, and an old doctor stepped in, followed by a young man with a medicine box.
"Doctor Huo......" Gongsun Guangxiao clenched his fists and signaled, then said no more, and stood beside his unconscious father.
Doctor Huo nodded, and walked straight to the old lady's bed, and everyone who was about to leave saw that the doctor was coming, and turned around and gathered over, wanting to hear what the doctor had to say.
Doctor Huo lowered his head and shouted to the old lady Gongsun, and when he saw that there was no response, he leaned down and lifted the old lady's eyelids up with his hand, and the old lady's eyeballs looked up in a daze, and he was paralyzed. Dr. Huo let go of his fingers and let the old lady's eyelids close again, then stretched out his left hand and put it on the old lady's wrist to start taking the pulse.
Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, the whole room was as quiet as no one, after half a cup of tea, Dr. Huo withdrew his hand, and then turned his head to signal the young man behind him, the young man respectfully handed over the medicine box, Dr. Huo picked a little in it, took out a flat pill, pulled the old lady's jaw with his left hand, and then put the pill under his tongue, and then closed the old lady's mouth again. After doing this, Dr. Huo got up and clapped his hands, and the young man behind him began to bandage the old lady.
"Doctor Huo, look ......" Gongsun Guangxiao began to ask at this time.
Doctor Huo looked around and groaned slightly. Gongsun Guangxiao understood what he meant, and re-supported his brother and sister outside the house, leaving only his eldest brother.
"It's too badly injured, if it's a young man, it's not a big deal to recover for three or five months, but the old lady's age is here......" Doctor Huo shook his head.
"When will my father wake up?" asked Gongsun Guangxiao's eldest brother.
"If you can wake up tonight, with the ability of your grandson's family, supplemented by medicinal stones, maybe it can be delayed for a year and a half, if you can't wake up tonight......" Doctor Huo said halfway through his words and looked at the other party, meaning that he could prepare for the future.
Gongsun Guangxiao let out a long sigh, full of sadness. At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside again, and Mr. Zhou stood outside the house to collect his hurried steps, and walked over calmly but quickly.
"Mr. Zhou......" Brother Gongsun Guangxiao hugged his fists, and Dr. Huo also nodded to Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou hurriedly returned the salute and looked at the old lady lying on the sickbed with a sad face.
"Why did you fall like this, alas......" Mr. Zhou also sighed, "We were listening to the play together ten days ago." ”
"Alas, I heard from the next person that the old lady was going out for a walk after eating, and he didn't ask anyone to hold him, but he was careless, alas, I don't know what to say. The eldest brother Gongsun Guangshun said.
"Is there anything missing?" asked Mr. Zhou.
Dr. Huo looked at Mr. Zhou and said, "I'll prescribe a prescription, with Mr. Zhou here, there will be no shortage." But the old lady herself is old, and we have known the Gongsun family for many years, so we don't talk around the bush, I'm afraid it's not easy to do. ”
Gongsun Guangxiao settled down, coughed dryly, and then said to Doctor Huo: "Then do your best and listen to the destiny of heaven." I won't say more kind words. After saying that, he thanked him again, walked to the door and opened the door, and the people outside the house looked at it together, he signaled that everyone could go in, and then called Mr. Zhou, and the two walked to the backyard one after the other.
