5. The miracle doctor took a shot
Xiang Jisheng has been to Youfu. I just heard that there were a few thieves in the house. Coupled with He Xing's escape, Granny You was not at ease. Let Mr. Xiang take the medicine boy and come to the house to teach in the future.
That night, it can be regarded as allowing Yan Yaotong to escape the "punishment" of the needle and medicinal bath.
Granny You was thinking about the bronze plaque. A light breeze blew out the candles in the house. The maid came over and re-lit it. The mother-in-law looked at the candle and was flustered. The He family's waist card taken out by Dao Laosan today was not stolen from Youjia's concubine's room.
Granny You stared at the flickering flame of the candle and recalled the events of the past......
At the beginning, the You family was a merchant, and You Jia brought goods back to Beijing from Jin. The mother-in-law also went back to her hometown in northern Hebei to visit relatives. So he drove the carriage all the way. On the way back, after picking up my mother-in-law, I walked directly on the official road on the small road. It just so happened that the caravan was resting. A knight in black with a doll was found on the side of the road. The knight was seriously wounded and unconscious. The doll is hungry and waiting to be fed. If the doll's cry hadn't been heard, the man in black would have died in the sky. The mother-in-law felt that she didn't think too much about saving people's lives. I didn't know that You Jia was a good product, and when he saw the knight in black, he was actually a beautiful woman dressed as a man, and he was waiting for him all the way. Straight back to their home.
Granny You has a lot of eyes and once inquired about the woman's origin. I don't know if it's okay. When I asked, it actually had something to do with my mother-in-law's mother-in-law. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, there were six families in Hebei and Hebei, Bai, Zhou, Shen, He, Yang, and Wu, among whom the He family. The family suffered a sudden change, so he had to take his brother's flesh and blood and modify it. Run out and run for your life. As for what happened, my mother-in-law felt that she couldn't tell the truth. I didn't ask again. But in private, it is still for the merchants, and the caravans under Yuja should pay more attention to the news. It is said that in the early years, the He family was an abandoned person, and later the family fell into the middle of the road and became more and more sluggish. Later, because of his collusion with King Sheng's subordinates, he participated in the murder of King Sheng. Raided his home.
As for the truth, the mother-in-law is naturally skeptical. In such a world, under power, no matter how big or what clan is, no one can be worth an official word.
The mother-in-law was originally from the Yang family. married into the You family, and changed his surname. At the beginning, the Yang family and the He family, several big families, were all in a mutually beneficial relationship. The Yang family is the most low-key. The He family is the most dazzling. How many people, which one has not been deliberately suppressed by the officials? What's more, the He family's early sparrows?
Speaking of Yuja's side, all the salvation was saved. And by the way, he took in the woman and the doll. Brought back to You's house. It's also to blame the ancestors for not being blinded. The You family has been passed down for several generations. When you get to Yuja, you can't go straight to it. How many houses have been renewed, but none of the fields that can grow melons? The mother-in-law also knew in her heart that the land was good. The women in the family are also unswerving. So, you can only blame the seeds for mold. Really let the aunts and wives steal a seed and renew the incense? Not to mention Yuja, the mother-in-law is awkward. The adherence of the aunts and wives, how can this love be consumed? It's better to go straight and raise this white doll as a grandson. Raise knowingly, inherit the family business, and continue the inheritance of incense. Regardless of the bloodline, he has to be surnamed You. Hi! But this He Jinhua is unwilling to live or die. It's no wonder that the He family was raided. This incense thing, people also want to leave a pulse. The child will not change his surname, but will still be surnamed He.
Jinhua, this woman, is also a donkey, the You family's life-saving grace, and she also promised to raise the doll of the He family. Why do you want to give Yuja another one? The mother-in-law was in her heart. Harm, if it can really be born, it's good. This matter cannot be said yet, and cutting off children and grandchildren is a thing that damages yin morality. is a business gateway at home, if you talk about the You family's business, don't do it.
Now, the sudden appearance of the He family's waist card, mother-in-law can't help but think more.
He Xing was brought back to You's house. At first, my mother-in-law felt that she was just because she was old and liked the affection of the next generation. After a long time, he really treated He Xing as his own grandson. At the same time, there are still some careful thoughts, that is, they treat their aunts and nephews like their own, and their hearts are long. Maybe one day the good grandson himself is willing to have the surname You, and it will be good.
The sudden appearance of the He family, if you want to come and take He Jinhua away, forget it. Take away He Xing? That's a no-go. And, where did the news leak from? After saving the two, He Jinhua also cut off all news from the outside. If the waist card is fake, then ...... What is the purpose?
The house leaks, and it rains at night.
When Granny You was still worried about the theft of her home and the inexplicable appearance of the He family, there was a situation on You Jia's side. When he received the news, the You family was shaken. Yuja's work went wrong. A good hunting ground is not too difficult to build, but it is about to be completed, and you can't get a penny. The superintendent is missing, and even the intermediary who contacted the matter is nowhere to be found. Because he believes too much in the credibility of the government, all the money and goods are subsidized by Yuja. But this light sticker has not returned the money, and Yuja has been stretched. I can't find another party to talk to. The burnt Yuja is like an ant on a hot pan. The relationship between the parties has gone all over the place. Even, he even delivered food to the homes of officials under King Anxian. But no one stood up and gave an accurate word. Originally, Yuja did not plan to inform the family. Several business partners have already sent people to make trouble at You's house. Sticking big characters and handing over forms, there are workers and craftsmen who strike and make trouble.
Even the old man's medical hall was remembered. threatened that if he couldn't get his wages again, he would have to move things to settle the bill. Old man Xiang is also a person who has seen the world. This has happened many times. Although it is not to be paid. There are always some patients who can't be saved by the doctor's best efforts. And the family members will take the third aunt and six mothers-in-law, seven aunts and eight aunts, brothers-in-law, and eldest cousins, and then block the door and make a fuss. The old man didn't care about these people who were making a fuss. Because it's not the first time I've been in contact with the You family. He understands the You family, and face and money are equally important. has been friends for many years, and now he is the gentleman hired by the You family, so he has to be meaningful. I was going to discuss countermeasures with Granny You. Thinking of his mother-in-law's fierce appearance, he wrote a letter to Yuja, thinking that he couldn't actually help him, but just asked what happened, even if he had a bad idea, his attitude was enough.
Left and right, the letter was delivered, but there was no reply. Xiang Jisheng also had some drums in his heart. If it weren't for something wrong, Yuja's temper, even if it was just an inconsequential politeness, would have replied. Either there was no time, or the letter must have not been received. Otherwise, it's just a fire in the house, and bad ideas are useless.
After thinking about it, the old man Xiang still reluctantly carried the medicine box on his back, pretending not to know, and went to the You Mansion to move over. Everyone, you have to ask, why is it rubbing? The situation is urgent, why is Mr. Xiang still like this? Then you have to ask him how afraid of Granny You. Now there is another He Xing who is "straight (full of mouth) and no (nonsense)", so if you can go to You Mansion without being present at the same time as Granny You and He Xing, try not to go.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of Youfu, I happened to meet the third sword. The third child looked at Mr. Xiang and directly bowed down and hugged his hands.
"Mr. Xiang, please. Mrs. Tai is going down to find you. There is something important. Please come with me. ”
The old man's beard shook, and he said in his heart: "Yes, it's delivered to the door......" or returned the salute, "Please!"
I didn't ask anything, and I didn't shirk it. Directly follow Dao Laosan into the door. Head straight to the main hall.
Entering the main hall, the old man Xiang glanced at Granny You. I saw that my mother-in-law was still as stable as usual. Holding a tea cup in his hand, he looked like he was strolling leisurely. But the old man knew that maybe something was really serious. He knows his mother-in-law's temper too well. Usually he looks old. Now I am suddenly full of energy, this is a reassuring pill for the people in the house.
Seeing that Xiangji was coming, the mother-in-law put down the teacup. Dao Lao San raised his hand and waved, and the people around him bowed their heads one by one, and then retreated.
Mr. Xiang raised his eyebrows. Then he hurriedly hugged his hand and saluted. Before she could open her mouth, her mother-in-law reached out and interrupted. "You're welcome. I have something to do, please ask Mr. Xiang for help. ”
The old man was really panicked in his heart, and he retreated, and called himself sir, this is busy, I'm afraid it's not easy to help!
The old man was not polite.
"In the last years of this wind and candle, I can be regarded as having seen all the big scenes......
...... "Mother-in-law was stunned." Oh, don't look awe-inspiring about the righteousness of going to the Dharma field. It's not that I don't know how bold you are. It didn't get to that point. I just want to invite you to Shenlu County. People who are not from my house, as a bystander, see how things go. ”
Explain what you need to do, and write a letter. He waited until he saw Yuja and handed it over to him. The task of enjoying the old man is very simple. Continue to be his foot doctor, deliver letters, and keep in touch with the You family. Mainly wait and see, there is nothing big going on Yuja's side.
The old man received the coil in Youfu. hired a carriage and went straight to Shenlu County.
Horse-drawn carriages drove on the official road. It's a dirt road, but it's not fast. Some bumps. He sat on a futon mat as if he were sitting on a pebble floor. If you want to say that you are not in a hurry, it is false. I'm afraid I can't say it. After all, there are a lot of scenes I have seen. Back then, he also gave a doctor to the big officials in Beijing.
There are small tables in the car, as well as furniture for drinking tea. In his arms, he also carried his usual study of medicine. But these guys are all decorations. The dirt road is wide enough, but it is full of potholes, water on rainy days, and dust on sunny days. Stones, dirt bags, abound.
Walking and walking, the car does not shake or bump. Mr. Xiang lifted the curtain and looked out, hey? The car stopped. Stopped on a meadow. There is no road outside, and beyond that, there is a forest. Xiang Jisheng thought to himself: "I'm afraid it's a horseman's internal urgency? It's easy to go into the woods. The horses were grazing with their heads bowed. Mr. Xiang, also get out of the car and stretch your muscles. It is said that the coachman of the hired carriage should know the rules. At least it's convenient to stop the car, and you have to say hello. What if you want to do the same in the car?
Waited left and right, but did not see the driver come back. The old man was a little anxious. Then he shouted in the direction of the woods: "Isn't it that the dirt road is too bumpy, but it has turned your stomach upside down?" Didn't answer......
Mr. Xiang muttered a little. I walked around, but I didn't see anyone. I also looked at the edge of the woods, and I couldn't see the footprints of the overgrown grass. Probably, the person ran away.
Waiting like this is not the way to go. Mr. Xiang walked to the carriage and tried to shout again: "If you don't come out, I'll drive away." I'm a foot doctor, and I've been a doctor for half my life, and I don't just see patients. ”
Only then did I see a few figures walking out of the woods. A black scarf is masked, and a steel knife is in hand. The guys who drove the car were also impressively listed. The guy didn't change his clothes either. Just covered his face. One step at a time, he walked to the front of the Divine Doctor.
"Old man, don't say that the brothers don't talk about morality. We are also seeking a livelihood from the knife edge. Take the money and do the errands. Don't ask why. The employer only said to keep you here. As for you, you are deep in the forest, and you are confused. Or old age and stumbling, drinking mud in the ditch. It's up to you to choose. However, there are bandits. For the sake of you, you are also an old doctor who has been helping the world for many years. Give you a chance to write a letter and explain what happened to you. If you have any relatives and friends, you need to bring a message and explain your last words. Brothers can do it for you. However, money has to be collected. ”
This made the old man laugh. The heart said, "Is it true that the faith is false, but the mouth is true?"
Xiang Jisheng was silent on the surface, and even a little flustered. Hurriedly bowed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the little old man doesn't dare to ask more. There are no relatives or friends either. I don't dare to carry a message. But please don't rush it. Death is death, I am afraid of turning into a terrible ghost, and when the time comes, if it is entangled in the ranks, isn't it a sin? If not, the message will be spared. My medicine book is worth some money. It can also be regarded as leaving a legacy for medical Taoism. Excuse me, good guys, and sell a drink money by the way. Moreover, it is not necessary for the heroes to dirty their knives and their hands. Old man Rong, I take a medicine? As soon as you close your eyes, it's gone. I'm afraid it hurts......"
As he spoke, the old man threw the medicine book in his arms on the ground in front of the "coachman". He also took out a small light green porcelain bottle from his bosom. Pull open the lid and pour it into your mouth.
A few bandits were stunned.
The bandit leader, dressed as a coachman, carefully pulled down the book on the ground with a knife, and saw that the cover read "Ten Absolute Dispersion". For a while, I really thought that this might be more than just a sale for money. He bent down and picked it up, and patted the blades of grass on it.
The others were still staring at him in shock at the old man's headache pills, to see when he would collapse.
But the coachman is dressed up, it doesn't matter if he shoots. The dust in the book was almost blind. Quickly fanned it, shook it, and picked up the medicine book. Then I plan to ask the little ones to help the old man. So as not to be in trouble.
Several bandits rushed up.
didn't wait to get closer, and saw Doctor Xiang's eyes wide, holding his stomach with one hand, and pointing to the "coachman" with the other. A mouthful of black blood in his mouth spurted out far away. Then he lay on the ground with his back to the sky, kicked his legs, and did not move......
A few bandits around, leng, look at me, I'll look at you. This old guy died too happily?
The coachman sneered, "Hehe, old fox, pretending to be serious." "Came over with a knife. yourself. Lying on the ground and not moving.
Ay? Several bandits saw it and hurriedly retreated. After a few steps, they all staggered and overturned.
There was silence all around, and there was no one standing. This scene is somewhat weird.
Xiang Jisheng suddenly cheated the corpse and sat up. Phew, a few sips. He got up and walked to the carriage and reached out to get a water bladder out of the cart. Rinsed his mouth. Walked up to the coachman bandit and crouched down. He retrieved his medicine book from his arms. And rummaged through it. Several other men in black also searched for them.
Nothing useful.
Then remove the needle pack...... The old man giggled with laughter.
