252. Sure enough, it is the people of Old Chu
"And then?" Lin Xi asked.
The old lady said: "In the future, until now, the old body has never received any more letters from her, and I don't know where she is now. ”
Lin Xi said: "Don't her family know? ”
The old lady looked at Lin Xi and asked, "Do you know what the original Guanzhong was?" ”
Of course, Lin Xi knew that Guanzhong was thousands of miles away from Jinling. But Lin Xi soon realized that what the old lady asked was not so simple.
She thought for a moment, and said in her heart: "Old Chu? ”
The old lady bowed her head.
Lin Xi chuckled in his heart.
She still knows more or less the history of Great Qin. The unification of the Central Plains by Great Qin was more than 20 years ago, and the foundation was laid by Qin Taizu. Prior to that, Great Qin and Old Chu were on two feet in the Central Plains, bounded by the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River, with Great Qin occupying the area south and Old Chu occupying the area north.
This old lady is now more than fifty years old, and she knows that woman, at least, it must have been thirty years ago, just when the old Chu was still there.
In other words, at that time, the Guanzhong region was still the old Chu.
It is equivalent to that woman is the old Chu people!
She is similar to the woman, she has the jade pendant of the old Chu royal family, and the woman is also a Chu person, isn't this right!
The old lady said: "That woman is from a prominent background, and she is actually a noble person. However, she disobeyed her family's orders and eloped with a man, which was a great shame for her family. Therefore, her family declared that she had died of a violent illness and broke off with her. ”
Lin Xi said: "In other words, her family has not looked for her?" ”
"It should be, at least in the news that the old body knows, her family has given up on her and will not find her whereabouts again." The old lady sighed, "Later, when something happened, Old Chu was defeated by Great Qin, and many people who were loyal to Old Chu were martyred. ”
Lin Xi was stunned, "Her family was also martyred?" ”
The old lady hummed, "There are many people in her family who have joined the army, and they have all died on the battlefield. On the day she heard the news of her country's demise, her family hanged themselves at home. But at that time, most of her family was left with only the elderly, weak women and children, and the men were all gone in the war. ”
These words sounded very heavy, and Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a little heavier.
The old lady smiled bitterly: "Her family is gone, and no one will know her whereabouts." Maybe when she died in the country, she, as a Chu person, had nowhere to go with her. Or maybe there was chaos everywhere in those years, and she didn't survive. But if she's still around......"
The old lady raised her head, her eyes fell on Lin Xi, and she said in a trance: "Her granddaughter, it should be like you." ”
Lin Xi didn't know how to respond to this for a while.
The old lady didn't seem to need her to respond, closed her eyes, and said, "This person is old, and he always remembers the past. Today's words, if Miss Lin is old and sick, she doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
Lin Xixin said that she just wanted to go to her heart, but she didn't dare.
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, but he still couldn't help asking, "Old lady, I want to ask, what is that woman's surname?" ”
The old lady chuckled twice, "It's all in the past, there's no need to know." The important thing is the days to come. ”
Lin Xi nodded: "That's what the old lady said." ”
The old lady said with difficulty: "Miss Lin, I am very happy to see you today. However, you better go back early, you don't have to stay in Jinling anymore. ”
Lin Xi got up, "Old lady, take care." ”
The old lady coughed a few times, as if she was very tired, and slowly lay down.
Lin Xi stepped forward to help her lie down, looked at her face, and couldn't help asking, "Old lady, I want to ask you one last question." ”
The old lady nodded.
Lin Xi said: "Once upon a time, you could have ...... A granddaughter about my age? ”
Hearing this, the old lady opened her eyes and looked at Lin Xi, and shook her head after a moment: "No." The old man only had two sons in his life, but one of them had a bad life, his body was weak, and he had already passed away, leaving only Hong'er. His heirs are thin, and he has only one son, Huai Jin. ”
Lin Xi didn't say anything more, and told the old lady to rest and leave.
"Miss Lin."
The old lady spoke suddenly.
Lin Xi stopped and looked back at her.
I saw the old lady looking at her, and said with difficulty: "The old body feels that he has a fate with Miss Lin, and wants to ask Miss Lin to promise to do a favor with his face." ”
Lin Xi said: "Old lady, please speak." ”
The old lady said, "If Miss Ruolin leaves Jinling, please take my grandson away as well." ”
Lin Xi looked surprised, "Why is this?" Huai Jin is now worried that the old lady will not leave. ”
The old lady sighed: "...... The old body is already in his last years, and it is not good to give Huai Jin after illness. The old body knows that Huai Jin is stubborn, but if the old body insists, Huai Jin will still listen. ”
Lin Xi still felt strange, but seeing that the old lady was tired and couldn't speak, he didn't say much and turned around and went out.
Outside, Yi Huaijin was almost like sitting on pins and needles, and she couldn't sit still, so she walked around and wandered, and Chang Mama was distressed when she saw it.
"Young Master, you can rest for a while."
Yi Huaijin said anxiously: "Grandmother is seriously ill, how can I rest at ease?" ”
Turning his head and finally seeing Lin Xi come out, Yi Huaijin hurriedly stepped forward: "Aunt Lin, how is it?" ”
Lin Xi looked at Yi Huaijin at this time, sympathized with him a little, thought about it, and said in the end: "The old lady is weak, I can only detoxify the old lady and help her recuperate." But this time, the old lady is really injured, no matter how superb my medical skills are, the old lady probably still has ...... Five years. ”
"What?!"
Yi Huaijin was like being struck by lightning, he couldn't stand, he staggered and almost fell.
Chang Mama quickly supported him and held back her tears; "Young Master, you have to take care of your health! Otherwise, the old lady will worry about you. ”
Yi Huaijin only felt that his ears were buzzing, and his mind was blank.
Suddenly, he suddenly pushed Chang Mama away and staggered in.
Mama Chang was worried and wanted to follow, but was stopped by Lin Xi.
"At this moment, the old lady should also want to see Huai Jin, Mama Chang, don't disturb their grandparents."
Mama Chang looked inside with a sad face, and reluctantly bowed to Lin Xi, "Miss Lin, thank you." ”
Lin Xi turned sideways to avoid her salute and said, "I want to write a prescription for the old lady, and ask Mama Chang to prepare paper and ink for me." ”
"It should be, it should be! Miss Lin, please come with me. ”
Mama Chang wiped away her tears and turned around and walked towards the side hall.
Lin Xi finally looked in the middle of his eyes, sighed and followed.
When he arrived at the side hall, there was already a maid who had polished the ink, Lin Xi thought for a moment, wrote a prescription, and drew another map of the acupuncture points of the human body, marking several acupuncture points on it, as well as the method of applying needles.
"This medicine can be taken once a day, and for acupuncture, find someone to write it once every two days. In addition, pay attention to ventilation on weekdays, and let the old lady start to come out from time to time to bask in the sun and walk around after taking the medicine for a month. ”
