Chapter 8: The Thin Boy
Doctor Qi saw that Tang Li was not very disgusted, and hurriedly pushed his son who was sitting in a daze.
"Yan Zhi, don't kowtow to Miss Tang soon!"
Shen Yanzhi was still immersed in sadness, but when he saw that his mother was still planning for himself when she was leaving, her tears flowed even more, and she stood up from the side of the bed and knelt down in front of Tang Li.
"Miss Tang! Please take Hikochi in! ”
Tang Li looked at the mother and son, but he said that it was miserable, but he didn't expect that today's shot would add a burden to himself.
It's just that she doesn't understand what's going on on the road today, Dr. Qi is a celebrity in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Xu in the palace, how could she suddenly appear here? More coincidental appearance in front of himself? What's more, the boy of the Shen family has a home and doesn't go back, why should he entrust it to himself?
Seeing that Dr. Qi was about to die in front of him, although he felt pity for this mother and son in his heart, so many questions made Tang Li a little entangled.
Tang Li looked at Shen Yanzhi who was kneeling in front of him, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, and his love was overflowing, but seeing that Dr. Qi was already dying, it would be a little too cruel for him to refuse.
With a horizontal heart, he said disgustedly: "Get up, I'm a little cub who doesn't leave soft knees in the clouds." ”
Doctor Qi was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Tang Li to easily agree to his request.
After all, when he was in the palace, Tang Li was a hot celebrity in the eyes of the emperor, and he also served as the captain of the palace guard, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person.
In the past, Tang Li and his mother Mrs. Tang came to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Xu, and he had met Tang Li several times, but he was not very familiar with her, but he knew that she was kind and kind.
What's more, her husband Shen Jiang is a party of Mengqi, and she didn't expect her to agree when she opened her mouth today, but she still spoke, and with her current situation, she had no other choice, she could only give it a try, and try that she didn't see the wrong person.
"Yan Zhi, Miss Tang has taken you in, after your mother leaves, you must serve Miss Tang well and do your best to repay today's kindness!"
Shen Yanzhi listened to his mother's words, his face was not half happy, he stood up, made a deep swipe at Tang Li, and sat back on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at his mother, whose face had become pale and without a trace of blood.
Tang Li also noticed Dr. Qi's pale face due to excessive blood loss, and couldn't help but think of his mother's appearance when she died, and thought in her heart that she might not be able to wait for Xinglin to come back, so she couldn't help but feel a little sad, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"Madam, don't worry, I will take care of him."
Tang Li didn't know if Dr. Qi heard clearly, so he saw that the corners of her smiling mouth slowly flattened, and her eyes closed forever.
Seeing this, Shen Yanzhi finally couldn't suppress the sadness that he tried so hard to endure, hugged his dead mother tightly, and cried out in pain.
Tang Li looked at it with mixed feelings in his heart, reached out to touch the child's head, thought about it and took it back, turned around and walked out of the door.
When Xinglin came back with the village chief and the doctor, it was already noon, and he saw Tang Li alone, sitting quietly under the pavilion in the courtyard, and the breeze blew through the corners of his clothes, making him look even more thin and lonely.
Xinglin hurriedly ran to Tang Li, and asked in a panic, "Miss.....?" ”
Tang Li shook his head in response to Xinglin, Xinglin knew in his heart, and silently swallowed back the question. Presumably, the woman couldn't wait for them to come back, and the young lady at this moment looked like she had returned to the days when they were about to leave the Tang Mansion, and she had been silent.
After thinking about it, he unconsciously changed Xinglin's silent mind, he was a little entangled, but finally asked again: "Then, what about that kid?" ”
Tang Li suddenly felt strange, this kid cried all morning, this will be quiet, there is no movement for a while, could it be that he cried and pouted? Thinking of this, he hurriedly put down the tea that was already cold in his hand, stood up and walked to the house, Xinglin also turned around and hurriedly led the village chief and doctor behind him to follow.
As soon as Tang Li opened the door, he saw Shen Yanzhi fainting and falling to the ground, Tang Li walked quickly to him, squatted down, stretched out his hand to probe his snort under his nose, and was surprised to find that his snort was unusually weak.
"Xinglin, help me carry him to the bed!"
Xinglin hurriedly stepped forward with Tang Li, and pulled Shen Yanzhi on the ground to the bed to lie down.
At this moment, there was still Dr. Qi who was already cold on the bed, Tang Li touched Shen Yanzhi's wrist, only to feel that Shen Yanzhi's body was not warmer than Dr. Qi, his face was pale, and even a little faintly black, and his two eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
"Doctor, please take a look at this child."
Tang Li turned to the doctor invited by the village chief and said, took two steps back to make room, and asked the doctor to check Shen Yan's pulse.
Hearing this, the doctor stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, lifted Shen Yanzhi's wrist, and put his two fingers on his pulse to carefully diagnose, as time passed, his brows slowly tightened, and after a while, he let go of his hand with a tangled face, and turned to face Tang Li.
"This child's face is pale, and the blackness between his eyebrows seems to be poisoned, but the old man does not have any abnormalities in his pulse, which is very strange."
After that, the doctor turned his head to look at the body of Dr. Qi lying inside, and then turned his head again.
"This woman seems to be the same poison as this child, what happened when she was poisoned?"
Tang Li was not present at the time, and naturally he didn't know it, so he hurriedly turned his head to look at Xinglin who ran away with Dr. Qi's mother and son, Xinglin looked at Doctor Shang and Tang Li's eyes, and hurriedly replied: "She spit out a mouthful of pitch-black blood, and then her breath suddenly became extremely weak, and there was qi in and out, and this blood stain on the ground was." ”
The doctor glanced at the half-dried blood stains on the ground, turned around and took out the silver needle, squatted down and inserted the silver needle into the bloodstain, got up and put the bloodstained silver needle on the candle on the table to roast it, and after a while, wisps of white smoke came out of the tip of the needle, and there were bursts of fragrance.
The doctor wiped the silver needle clean and put it away, thought for a while, and said slowly: "When I was young, I saw a wandering lama, and he told me that there is a kind of flower in the Western Regions that is both beautiful and vicious, and its name is the other side of the blood.
Anyone who is poisoned by this poison will be in a coma with the beautiful scenery of Manzhu Sawa in front of him, and his blood will also volatilize with the unique aroma of blood. As this dream collapsed, her life was over, and the lady must have held on to her spirit and not passed out, which led to her early vomiting of blood and poison to death. ”
"Is there a cure for this poison?" Tang Li asked.
The doctor didn't speak, and shook his head as he cleaned up the medicine box. The medicine box was packed up, and when he stood up and was about to leave, he said: "I don't want to give you hope in vain, this poison is incurable, but..."
"Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, but the doctor says it's okay." Tang Li saw that the doctor hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't help blurting out.
"It is rumored that the Emperor Taishang held countless elixirs in his hands, which could cure hundreds of poisons and cross immortals. It's just that this kind of miracle medicine is only available to the nobles in the palace, and we ordinary people have never even seen it, let alone know whether it is true or false. The old man advised the young lady to prepare for this child as soon as possible..."
After that, the doctor let out a long sigh, picked up the medicine box and turned around and went out, leaving with the village chief without looking back.
After the doctor left, Tang Li sat on the edge of the bed and pondered for a long time, coincidentally, she happened to have an elixir left by her mother in her hand, and she was the one who knew the medicinal effect of this elixir best, it was a life-saving pill and a life-urging poison.
After taking it that year, he fell into the old disease of the flames of the Shangyuan Festival, this young man is so thin, he doesn't look like he has practiced martial arts, how can he stand it if he can't stand it?
Don't end up saving him today, and when the year is over, he dies again, and suffers another torture in vain, isn't that giving people hope out of thin air and breaking it with his own hands?
What's more, this is the last pill that my mother left for me, and my mother told me to keep it well, but I didn't expect that in just one month, I would give it to a stranger I met for the first time, which is really outrageous.
Tang Li hesitated for a long time, and finally secretly made up his mind, since he had decided to help him, he should be conscientious, he would never allow him to do anything in his hands, and she really couldn't do it if she didn't save him.
"Xinglin, go and bring the elixir of immortality under the pillow of my bedroom."
Without much hesitation, when Xinglin sent the village chief and the doctor away and turned back to the room, she lowered her head and looked at Shen Yanzhi, who was still unconscious, and said to Xinglin.
Xinglin didn't speak, but he still obediently paced slowly to take the elixir of immortality back, and came to the side of the bed with two hands holding the black box containing the elixir of immortality, with a reluctant face.
"Miss! Why are we trying to save this irrelevant bastard? This is a treasure left to you by Madame! ....”
Tang Li turned around and spread his hand in front of Xinglin, "I can only gamble now, since there is still a glimmer of hope, I always want to give it a try, not to mention that I promised his mother to take him in." You go out and wait for me outside the door. ”
Xinglin was very reluctant but still handed over the black box to Tang Li's hands, he was very worried, feeling that this kid had wasted this good thing, and on the other hand, he was afraid that he would really die here.
He and the young lady had just lived a clean life, which was too unlucky. He walked out of the door in a tangled way, sat on the stairs outside the door, and waited quietly for Tang Li to come out.
In the room, Tang Li took out the Immortal Pill from the black box, and pinched Shen Yanzhi's face with his other hand, until Shen Yanzhi's lips opened slightly, and it was fed into his mouth.
After he swallowed the pill from his throat, Tang Li pulled the soft collapse next to the bed and put it next to the bed, reached out to help Shen Yanzhi's upper body up, sat up and turned his back to himself, and then he also perched on the soft collapse and sat behind Shen Yanzhi.
Tang Li's hands were bent, and he hit Shen Yanzhi's back straight, and a gentle air flow instantly flowed out from her fingertips, soaking into Shen Yanzhi's body from behind.
