Chapter 40: The Goodwill of the World
A quarter of an hour later.
Lu Heng hugged the crying little girl, as well as He De, and stood next to the consultation bed that was pulled up the curtain.
He De couldn't help but sigh:
"Master Lu, your ability is really beyond the reach of the old slave!"
Lu Heng was staring at the curtain in a daze, and said in his heart that his future daughter-in-law was too good.
Hearing this, he turned his head and said strangely:
"What are you capable of?"
He De choked before saying:
"First ask the old man to help hold down the injured person and apply the medicine and stitches, and then ask this one to help you wipe the peasant woman's body......"
"If it's someone else, don't talk about the consequences, there are few people who dare to do this!"
Whether it is Li Shimin or Princess Yuzhang, these two are both figures who stand at the top of the Tang Empire.
Who would dare to call them both?
And it's the same person!
Lu Heng's ability, the people next to him really can't learn it.
You have to be naΓ―ve to a certain extent before you dare to do this!
"Hmm...... So what? β
Lu Heng thought about it, but still didn't quite understand:
"They'll do it for me, naturally, because I'm justified."
"Treat the sick and save people, even if I meet a stranger on the side of the road and suddenly fall ill, I will help."
"Doesn't that also prove that they still have good thoughts in their hearts, regardless of their status?"
He De was speechless for a while.
He really wanted to tell Lu Heng that it wasn't because His Majesty Li Er had good intentions, but he couldn't tell why.
Half a day.
The emperor's attendant finally sighed and said:
"Okay, good, you're reasonable."
"Then let's see how it's handled inside."
As soon as he heard that he was going to ask Li Mingyu, Lu Heng's expression instantly lit up.
He shouted into the curtain:
"Miss Li, what's going on inside? Does the patient have a fever? β
After a few moments, the curtain was drawn.
The peasant woman on the hospital bed, whose clothes had been put back on neatly, was still unable to lie down.
But it was also obvious that her face was more than a little better than just now!
"I've wiped my whole body."
Li Mingyu had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and he gasped slightly:
"According to what you just said, the armpits, forehead and abdomen have been rubbed many times, and the effect is quite obvious."
"Let's take a look."
Lu Heng put down the little girl he was holding in his hand and reached out to probe the peasant woman's forehead.
Sure enough.
The temperature of the other party's forehead has changed from the previous hot to only a slight heat.
Although I still have a little fever, most of the fever has subsided.
He looked at the worried look of the little girl next to him, smiled and patted her head:
"Touch your mother's forehead yourself to see if it's not so hot?"
The little girl reached out with some hesitation and touched it as she said.
Immediately, her originally crying and swollen eyes suddenly lit up!
"Really...... My mother's fever has really subsided! β
She eagerly hugged Lu Heng's leg and asked:
"Brother, is my mother already well?"
"Doesn't she need to take medicine!"
Lu Heng shook his head with a smile.
Seeing this, the girl suddenly became depressed.
Lu Heng hurriedly added:
"She's not all right, but there's no danger anymore."
"You wait here, my brother will go get a little medicine for you, and when you go back, let your mother take a small sip every day."
"When she doesn't cough and can get out of bed, that's great."
With that, he went to the backyard to get a new bottle of allicin.
Wait until he leaves.
Li Mingyu, who had been busy for a long time, also squatted down suddenly.
She looked at the little girl in front of her who was dressed extremely plainly, even covered with patches, and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
After all, this girl is the same age as her own sister, but she matures prematurely, and even has to take her mother to see a doctor at a young age.
"Little sister, where do you live?"
Li Mingyu touched the girl's little face lovingly and asked:
"Sister, I can ask someone to send you home later, and I can send you something to eat tomorrow to replenish your body."
"However, your mother is sick like this, where did your father go?"
The girl thought for a moment.
She pointed to her mother on the hospital bed and said:
"My mother and I both live in Changle Fang, more than a mile east from here, not far away."
"My daddy...... My mother said that my father went into battle to kill the enemy three years ago, and it will be a long, long time before he returns, so I have to wait for him obediently. β
Li Mingyu was stunned.
When she turned around, she saw Lu Heng coming out with a medicine bottle in his hand, and when she heard the words, she was also stunned behind.
The little one is not sensible, and certainly does not understand what the mother's words mean.
But they are clear.
I'm afraid that the husband and father of this mother and daughter have already died on the battlefield three years ago and will never come back.
There was silence for a long time.
Lu Heng finally moved.
He walked over to the girl, handed her the vial, and then said softly:
"Little girl, when your mother recovers, do you want to work in this hospital?"
"If you don't eat or not, my brother will also pay you a salary at the market price."
"What you have to do is to sweep the floor, wipe the table, and read and write with me every day. If a sister or a lady comes, you can also help bring tea and water. β
"During this period, if your mother is sick, because it is your family, the hospital can show her for free."
"What about the conditions?"
The little girl's eyes blinked several times.
It's not that she doesn't want the job.
On the contrary -
This treatment is really good!
Even though she's only five years old now, it's not easy for her to work......
However, being able to see her mother for free at any time, this alone is enough to make her heart move!
Right now.
On the side, Li Mingyu suddenly interrupted:
"Why don't you let her go to my house?"
"A little girl of this age, if she is well raised, she is naturally better in my house than doing chores here."
The house she said was, of course, letting the little girl enter the palace to be a palace maid.
is too young, it doesn't matter, her sister Li Mingda also needs a peer as a playmate, as long as her daughter speaks, a little palace maid, His Majesty Li Er has nothing to do.
But what Li Mingyu didn't expect was-
This time, Lu Heng's attitude turned out to be uncharacteristically tough!
"I don't agree."
Lu Heng said in a deep voice:
"As soon as you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, haven't you heard of it?"
"She is so young, and she has a sick mother to take care of, once she enters your house, it will be almost impossible to come out for more than ten years."
"Your conditions there are naturally better than mine, but you have to think about what she needs."
"Such a big girl thinks she is merciful when she wants her to live alone without her mother...... Actually, don't you feel cruel? β
Li Mingyu opened his mouth and was about to refute.
But when the little girl next to her heard that she was going to leave her mother and couldn't come out for more than ten years, her expression instantly became frightened and cringe.
Seeing this scene, Li Mingyu's rebuttal was speechless no matter what.
Half a day.
She sighed, and finally admitted that her methods were not better than Lu Heng's.
"Then do as you say."
