Three
In the carriage, in addition to eating and sleeping, I occasionally play chess with Ah Zhi and Lan'er, but I am a stinky chess basket, and I can't play Ah Zhi, and Lan'er doesn't dare to say anything, so it's not interesting to play.
In the past few days, I have drunk the bitter medicine, and I haven't seen any better, I really don't know if it's an antidote, maybe Han Zhao deceived Ah Zhi, I don't suspect that it's Ah Zhi's problem, because I know that Ah Zhi will never lie to me.
"I don't eat it, I don't have any taste, Ah Zhi, when will I be better!"
On this day, I couldn't taste anything, and I didn't have any appetite at all.
I looked at Ah Zhi coquettishly, and knew in my heart that Ah Zhi had no choice, but I couldn't help it.
"Shallow..."
I watched as Ah Chi suddenly became sad, and I couldn't help but think about the worst. Could it be that Han Zhao really deceived Ah Zhi! But he's dead, so what's going on.
"Han Zhao lied to you? Is the antidote fake? ”
I could clearly feel that Lan'er next to me was also nervous.
"The antidote is real, it's just a side effect......"
"Achi... You make it clear, what are the side effects. ”
"Doctor Gu, you must..."
I raised my hand to stop Lan'er from speaking, looked at Ah Zhi, and knew in my heart that this side effect was difficult for me to accept, otherwise Ah Zhi would not have told me after I drank the medicine, Ah Zhi was afraid that I would not drink it.
Ah Zhi didn't look at me, silently cleaning up the things on the table. I watched stubbornly for a long time, but no one spoke, no one took a step back or anything like that.
"Taste."
Ah Zhi couldn't stand my gaze, and pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind.
Taste! I closed my eyes instantly, my hands trembled, my nose was sore, and my throat was very uncomfortable.
"And there's more."
I tried to stabilize my tone and try not to look so broken, but the words that came out seemed to drain my whole body's energy, but I kept holding on and not letting myself fall.
"Pain... After that, your vision will slowly blur until you can't see clearly. ”
"Probably how long."
"Three years."
I couldn't help but tremble, and Ah Chi came over and hugged me tightly, I didn't know that this side effect was so big.
This has already cost me more than half my life.
I felt the wetness of my neck, and when I looked up, I saw that Ah Zhi was crying.
I didn't know what to do, so I could only hug Ah Chi tightly and hold it tightly.
I understand, I understand.
My throat hurt so badly that I couldn't swallow my saliva, the air around me seemed to be sucked away, and I could only breathe hard, and I couldn't help myself cry.
I still can't take it.
For a long time after that, I didn't eat or drink, and fell into a state of self-abandonment.
I'll never feel the sweets and sours again.
I don't know how I can live without sight, taste, or pain. How should I deal with my father, mother, and uncle?
I'm a waste, Li Ruonan has become a waste.
"Shallow..."
A pair of large, warm and thick hands caressed my hair.
I sat blankly at the carriage window, my hands clasped on my curled legs, sadness and sorrow froze between my brows.
Ah Zhi hugged me and didn't speak, maybe he didn't know what to say.
"Shallow, I can't live without you."
"Shallow, I beg you to live."
"Shallow, please don't leave me."
"Shallow... Shallow... shallow..."
The eyes that were shining on weekdays were clouded, I came back to my senses, and a stream of tears came out of my eyes, flowing to the corners of my mouth and into my mouth, I pursed my mouth, I couldn't control myself anymore, let the tears rush wildly, covered my face and cried bitterly.
The next day.
I watched Ah Zhi come in with the medicine, I used to take a sip of the medicine, but today is different, I drink it very slowly. Only such a bad medicine can make me have a physiological reaction to want to vomit, and it can make me feel bitter.
After taking the medicine, Lan'er gave me a candied fruit as usual. I refused, eating like chewing wax and wanting to vomit until it exploded. Whatever you eat, you can only feel the texture, there is no taste at all, even honey, it is like a sticky wax that has no taste and has melted.
There are still three days to go to Chang'an, and I'm still practicing how to make myself look like I'm eating properly.
In the past few days, I found out that the salt and sugar taste all sand, the meals taste wax, and I don't feel any tea when I drink it.
In order to keep myself from flaws in front of my father and mother, I have been getting used to it these days.
"County Lord, Chang'an is ahead, and it will take about half an hour to arrive."
Lan'er felt that the carriage was too stuffy inside, and she sat outside, and she could almost see the shadow of the city gate, so she hurriedly opened the door and reported the good news to me.
I guess it's almost there, so I'm not so surprised, and I'm busy sorting out the things I brought to my family with Achi.
When I was about to get home, I looked from afar and saw that there were many people standing at the door, and my heart was full.
I'm home.
"County Lord, be careful."
Lan'er got out of the carriage first, and then came over to help me, I didn't get out of the carriage in such a hurry, but looked at the people around me who greeted me, I didn't see my mother, and I was a little puzzled.
At this time, a very luxurious young woman came out of it.
"An An!"
"Mother!"
After I saw my mother, I hurriedly got out of the car and threw myself into my mother's arms, at this time the inexplicable grievances and discomfort came up, and my mother was distressed when she saw me.
"What's wrong with An An, it's okay, I'm home, my mother is here."
"Hmm!"
Mother's arms are so warm. I miss my mother so much.
"Slut Gu Zhile has seen the princess."
(The slut refers to me, the lowly person, and the lowly person refers to the insider of me, the lowly person, both of which are a manifestation of modesty.) )
"This is the famous Gu Shen Doctor! Thank you Dr. Gu for taking care of my family. ”
"Mother, let's go in first."
"Okay, it's my mother who is so happy that I forgot, Doctor Gu please."
I took my grandmother's arm and asked how the family was doing, and I was really worried.
Ah Zhi lived in the princess's mansion, in the courtyard next door to me.
After I finished sorting out some things, I took Ah Zhi directly to the General's Mansion, and I was very eager to know about Su Ming's situation.
"I've seen Lord Anning."
"Please give me an inform."
"Yes."
It didn't take long for me to see Su Ming running over, wearing a white robe, losing a lot of weight, and his beard had grown.
"Shallow! Achi!! ”
"Su Mingming!"
"Quick, come in."
"Azhi, shallow, when did you come back? I didn't inform me in advance, I went to pick you up, didn't you stay in Suzhou and wait for my news, why did you come back? ”
"Su Mingming, you have a lot of questions."
"We just arrived in Chang'an today, and we just put down our burdens and came over."
"Waiting for your news? After waiting for so long, the birds didn't see a single one, so I'm worried that you'll come back. ”
There are not many people who really know that I am poisoned, except for my father and mother, only my uncle may know, Su Ming doesn't know about my poisoning, he left early, and I don't want to add trouble to him, the departure of the eldest brother is enough to make him sad.
Besides, I've found the antidote, so there's no need to tell him, as for my... I'm selfish, I don't want him to see my bad side, I don't want people to know...
Su Ming's mother was not at home, and I didn't ask where I went, and when I saw that there was no one at home, I thought about going out for a walk, and as soon as I brought it up, Su Ming agreed.
"Good! It just happened to be the meal, let's go to Mantianlou to eat, I'm having a treat today, and the new dishes there should be Ah Zhi's favorite. ”
"Hmm."
As soon as I thought that I would have to eat later, I fidgeted, afraid that Su Ming would see it.
"Why didn't you see you for a month and you became a caterpillar?"
"What?"
"I said, what's wrong with you, look at you twisting like a caterpillar, if you don't do anything, you go and do your business, I'll take Achi to eat the same, look at your restless look."
"Damn, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
"No, how long have you been out for a long time, and you won't adapt to life in Chang'an so soon? How did I find out you're so useless! No, I've been relieved for a long time, and you've got one more useless point. Hahahahaha ”
"Su Mingming, are you looking for death?"
I'm worried about him, huh.
I threw the fruit that I had not eaten in my hand towards Su Ming, and when he saw me throwing the fruit, he also threw the melon shell in his hand at me, and Ah Zhi was drinking tea on the side, smiling and watching us make noise.
It's only when I'm with both of them that I'm at my own ease, I don't have to think about anything, I don't have to think too much.
When we sent Su Ming back, we met Mrs. Su at the door. I was about to go down to say hello to my wife, but Su Ming stopped me.
"Shallow, my aunt has not been in a good mental state since my father left, and after my eldest brother died, her temperament has changed greatly, and the whole person has also... I'll just go down here. ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier, Achi."
I looked at Achi, who was picking up the medicine kit under his seat.
"Ah Zhi, no need, all the doctors in the Tai Hospital have seen it."
"You don't trust my medical skills?"
"I believe Achi, but..."
"Tell me about Mrs. Su's situation first."
Su Ming looked at us, stopped, and began to talk about his mother.
"My mother used to have a simple bad memory, and she couldn't remember complicated things that took too long."
"Now, it's getting worse and worse... Even in the house, she gets lost, doesn't remember where she is, becomes suspicious, suspects that someone is harming her, doesn't trust anyone around her, and has become particularly irritable and angry lately. ”
"Sometimes... Don't even know me. ”
I patted Su Ming on the shoulder and comforted him. He also understood, he looked up and smiled, ugly, it was better not to laugh.
"Mrs. Su, this is caused by a huge blow, I have encountered a similar case before, rest assured, it can be cured."
"Really?"
After Su Ming heard this, his eyes lit up, and he looked straight at Ah Zhi.
"Believe me, if the treatment goes well, it will be effective in a year at the earliest, but the treatment requires acupuncture, you have to communicate well with Mrs. Su, according to the situation you said, it is estimated that it will be difficult to implement, and you have to work hard."
"Does your grandmother believe you?"
As long as Mrs. Su believed in Su Ming, things would be much easier.
"If you are sober, you will naturally believe it, if it is..."Su Ming shook his head.
I hurriedly asked, "How long did you stay awake?" ”
Su Ming shook his head again.
That's going to be hard.
"Then put the others aside, I have time to come over these days to see Mrs. Su's situation, and then make arrangements according to the situation."
"Mrs. Su can't go out, so where did she go just now?"
"She had to pick me up from school, in her eyes, I was still an 11-year-old child, there was no way, I couldn't help her, I could only watch her more."
"If the memory is confused, it should be that you can't mentally accept the death of your eldest brother and close yourself off, which can be regarded as a kind of self-protection, but in this case, I'm afraid that drinking medicine will not have much effect, mainly psychological dredging, so that Mrs. Su can slowly think about it."
"Lan'er, go and send Hongyu and Shaofei over, and let them take care of Mrs. Su."
I lifted the curtain of the window and instructed Lan'er outside, and then said to Su Ming.
"Don't refuse, one of these two is very good at taking care of people, and the other is especially good at making people happy, let your aunt use it first, if you think you can, you can stay, no, you are returning it to me."
Su Ming looked at me, then at Ah Zhi, and then nodded.
I suddenly remembered the concubine in my uncle's palace, and I only remembered that she seemed to have died of madness.
"Su Mingming, do you remember the former concubine?"
I had no head or brain, interrupting Su Ming's action of drinking water.
"My grandmother and Concubine Niang's situation are different... It makes no difference to it. ”
"I mean, will the people around Concubine Niangniang know more about how to take care of them?"
"You mean... But how long ago was that, are people still there? Even if I'm here, I can't help it. ”
"I'll go back and ask my uncle. If it's still there, I'll help you get someone over. ”
I'm sure my uncle spoils me so much that he won't refuse to grant me such a small request. Thinking of this, I wanted to go to the palace to find my uncle immediately.
"Obviously, this is the sachet I originally prepared for you, this is the medicine bag I just dispensed, you go back and hang it in the place where your mother often stays, although the effect is not great, but it is better than nothing, I will go back and send you more with it, and this, it is an hangover."
Ah Zhi took out several medicine bags together, and explained to Su Ming in detail, I didn't know Su Ming's mother's situation when I came, and I didn't prepare more medicine bags, I saw Ah Zhi empty his own, and then filled Su Ming's mother.
"Then thank you Achi."
Su Ming took everything away, and I pretended to be weird.
"Why is our major general still separated from us."
He glanced at Su Ming, snorted, and laughed.
"Hahaha."
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, go back quickly! I have to go into the palace to ask for someone for you." ”
"Okay, got it."
I pushed Su Ming out of the car and prepared to take Ah Zhi to the palace to meet my uncle, as long as my uncle promised me to be with Ah Zhi, it was okay if the others didn't agree.
"I've seen the county lord of Anning, the county lord hasn't been here for a long time, and the emperor often talks about the county lord, so the villain will go in and spread the word."
"I'm in trouble with Father-in-law Qi."
"It's a bad thing."
It didn't take long for it to come out.
"County Lord, please."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
I took Achi's hand and walked inside. Once inside, I trotted over to my uncle's side.
"Uncle, did you miss Ah Ruo! Ah Ruo brought someone to see you. ”
"Grass people Gu Zhile visited the emperor, long live the emperor."
"Enough fun? Finally willing to come back, how is the body. ”
My uncle put down his pen and looked me up and down.
"Thin, poor Aruo has suffered."
"I can't hide anything from my uncle, don't worry, my uncle is already half better, and the rest will be slowly adjusted for a few months."
I tugged at the corner of my uncle's shirt to remind him that he was still kneeling.
"Hmph, it's been a long time since I've been kneeling and I'm distressed, and I've been elbowing your elbow out for a long time since you've known him, and I haven't seen you feel sorry for your uncle with no conscience."
"Why doesn't Ah Ruo feel sorry for his uncle, Ah Ruo also specially brought Suzhou specialties to his uncle, a lot, all of them were handed over to Father-in-law Qi."
"Really?"
"Yes, the county lord of Anning gave a lot of things as soon as he came, which shows that the county lord also has the emperor in his heart."
"I naturally know if there is, but you have no conscience, you have been out for so long, and you don't even send a letter back."
Saying that, my uncle nodded my head with his hand, I smiled and grabbed my uncle's hand, and said coquettishly: "What's the matter, didn't people pass on two letters~"
"Just your two? It doesn't add up to a few words. ”
I shook my uncle's clothes again and looked at him pitifully.
"Okay, okay, don't put this on this picture. I haven't said anything about you yet. ”
"Get up too! I heard that it was the county lord you saved? ”
Although it is a question sentence, it is very affirmative.
"Yes."
"Uncle, Ah Zhi has been busy for a long time to save me, you have to reward Ah Zhi well."
"Oh? Then Ara said, "How shall I reward him?" ”
"Ah Zhi doesn't like to be an official, he likes to study medical skills, I remember that my uncle had a lonely book to keep before, and the rest can just be rewarded with some money, and it won't be too shabby, uncle, you say yes."
"You're going to worry about my stuff for someone else."
"Okay, just do what the county lord said, Qi Throat, you go to my private treasury and bring the lone book."
"In addition, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold."
"The grass people knock on Longn."
"I'm still satisfied?"
I was so shy that I chopped my feet.
"Uncle!"
Uncle waved his hand and asked Father-in-law Qi to take Ah Zhi down, I knew that my uncle had something to ask me, and I was ready for a long time.
"Ah Ruo has thought about it?"
"Ah Ruo thought it very clearly, Ah Ruo wanted him."
Uncle didn't speak, his fingers kept tapping on the table.
"Do you know who that boy's father is?"
"Ah Zhi told me that he was a beggar when he was a child, wandering around, and was later taken back to the medical valley by his master, before I had an accident, Ah Zhi told me that someone found him and asked him to go back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, Ah Zhi refused, he said that he only had one father, and his father was just a doctor."
I saw my uncle frown, and then said.
"Ah Zhi told me that I don't like the people who come to him, he, like his father, is just a person who treats people, I actually know his identity, Ah Zhi has not been around those people since he was a child, and he has no thoughts about his relatives."
"And I believe in Achi."
I looked in the direction in which Ah Zhi left, and said firmly, I believe in Ah Zhi, just as Ah Zhi believes in me.
"My Aro has grown up and has his own ideas. Okay, my uncle can't say anything more, otherwise what if he is beaten as a mandarin duck. Then my Arok is about to leave me. ”
The stone in my heart finally sank, and I secretly relaxed.
"Uncle, do you know about General Su's wife?"
