Chapter 37: Syncope
Lin Ruyu returned to the temple with Dafu and Ah Heng, closed the temple door, and returned to the east courtyard to see her mother.
Seeing that his daughter had come back safely, Fang's heart was finally put down, and he scolded with a straight face, "I said last night that I would go to collect medicine together, why did you go secretly alone?" Don't say that when you meet a bad person, you are lost in the woods, what should you do? ”
"My daughter knows it's wrong, don't be angry." Lin Ruyu stepped forward and gently pulled her mother's sleeve and apologized obediently.
In her mother's eyes, Lin Ruyu is a little girl who has never been out at the age of fourteen, and she needs to be taken care of everywhere; But Lin Ruyu herself feels that she is seventeen years old and an adult with the ability to protect herself. There are four people in the family, his mother is sick, Ah Heng is too young, and Brother Dafu doesn't recognize herbal medicines, so last night, Lin Ruyu had already made up his mind to get up early and go out to collect medicine.
Fang didn't understand his daughter's thoughts, and saw that her shoes and trouser legs were covered with mud, so he sighed and said, "Go back and wash it, mother......"
"Second sister!" Shengzi ran out of the west courtyard with a roar, "My brother is in a daze!" ”
Hearing that Shen Ge's condition was getting worse, Lin Ruyu couldn't take care of the others, and hurriedly said, "Mother, let's go over and see Shen Ge, shall we?" ”
Fang's instructed, "Dafu and Ah Heng stayed, kept the fire to boil the porridge, and then cleaned the herbs in the basket with cold water. ”
Five-year-old Xiao Ah Heng sensibly responded, "Okay." ”
When the mother and daughter entered the east wing of the West Courtyard, they found that Shen Ge's face was burned red and he was unconscious. Fang raised his hand to test the temperature of Shen Ge's forehead, and said worriedly, "This won't work, we have to reduce his fever as soon as possible, and we will go back to boil the medicine." ”
There is no wine or ice in the temple, you can't reduce fever by wiping, and it takes time to boil medicine, what should I do now? Lin Ruyu immediately thought of a solution, "Yes, I picked up a few fever-reducing medicines, mother, let's go back and boil the medicine, shall we?" ”
After returning to the East Courtyard, Lin Ruyu took the sewing needle and walked out quickly under the pretext of going back to the room to change her shoes, and said to her mother, "Mother, my daughter went to ask if the wound on Shen Ge's arm was suppurated, and if it was, she had to add herbs to reduce swelling and boil it together." ”
"Let Daifuku ......"
Before Fang's words were finished, her daughter ran out in a hurry.
The door of the main room in the west courtyard was still closed, Lin Ruyu ran into Shen Ge's room, and said in a low voice, "It's too late to take medicine now, I'll bleed Shen Ge to reduce fever." Third uncle, Uncle Hong, you block the door and don't let people come in and see it. ”
Does phlebotomy reduce fever? The third uncle was a little dumbfounded.
Seeing the needle in Lin Ruyu's hand, Chen Hong thought of Bao Ye, who was rescued by her, and pulled Ma Qinglin to guard the door.
After disinfecting with hot water and scrubbing Shen Ge's red-hot hands with a damp cloth, Lin Ruyu did not hesitate to pierce the Shangyang acupoint, Sisui acupoint, Shaoshang acupoint, and Shaoze acupoint of his hands with the tip of the needle, releasing a small amount of blood beads.
When she was in the orphanage, Lin Ruyu saw the director use this method to reduce the fever of children who fainted with high fever. Afterwards, she consulted the dean, who explained that because bloodletting can reduce the amount of blood, release the heat in the blood, and achieve the purpose of reducing fever.
Sure enough, not long after the bloodletting, Shen Ge woke up. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Lin Ruyu sitting next to me, opening her mouth but not making a sound.
Lin Ruyu saw that he was awake, and a smile appeared on his face, "You have a fever, don't be afraid, I picked back the herbs, and the fever will go down soon." ”
Shen Ge has grown so big and has never been sick, so this illness, on the one hand, he hates himself for being useless, and on the other hand, he also feels that his body is extremely uncomfortable, and he is now in pain, especially his head, as if it is about to explode. But seeing Lin Ruyu's smiling face and hearing her voice, Shen Ge's restless mood and pain miraculously disappeared. He believed Lin Ruyu from the bottom of his heart, Lin Ruyu said that he would be fine soon, then he would definitely be fine.
Because he couldn't speak, Shen Ge had no choice but to grin and show Lin Ruyu. Unbeknownst to him, a few beads of blood appeared on his lips that were dry due to fever.
When Lin Ruyu saw it, she hurriedly said, "Shengzi bring warm water over and let your brother drink more water." ”
After settling Shen Ge, Lin Ruyu walked to the side of Third Uncle Ma and Chen Hong, and said in a low voice, "When I went out to collect medicine, I saw two young men touching the mountain, and after hearing the sound of me talking to my eldest brother and Ah Heng, they lay in ambush in the woods and did not move. ”
Chen Hong asked in a low voice, "What do those two look like and what clothes are they wearing?" ”
"I can't see it clearly from a distance, the tight-fitting clothes and pants they are wearing......"
After Lin Ruyu described the clothes and figures of the two, Chen Hong's left fist struck him in the palm of his right hand, and he said excitedly, "These two people must have come from far away to assassinate An Ziyuan!" ”
He saw at the foot of Matou Mountain, the person who assassinated An Ziyuan was dressed like this.
That couldn't be better. Lin Ruyu lowered her voice and said to Third Uncle Ma, "An Ziyuan, they may set off after breakfast, and Third Uncle will find a way to drag Uncle Fang and let him walk at the end so as not to be affected." ”
Third Uncle Ma nodded, "Ge'er's medicine, I'll trouble you." When he went out, he was more serious, which made An Ziyuan think that Go'er was hopeless. ”
"The knife wound on Shen Ge's arm is suppurated, and he has to take medicine. After An Ziyuan left, he had to bother the third uncle to go to the location of the shipwreck to retrieve the burden that Shen Ge had pressed with stones, and there was a good knife wound medicine given to me by Bao Ye. After Lin Ruyu finished speaking, she left the east wing and returned to the east courtyard.
Before he could take a few steps, he heard An Ziyuan call, "Miss Lin." ”
Lin Ruyu stopped, pretending to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, before turning around and forcibly choking and saluting, "An Engong." ”
Seeing that Lin Ruyu was worried and crying for Shen Ge, a storm brewed in An Ziyuan's eyes, and he asked, "Worried", "Girl, what is this?" ”
Lin Ruyu touched the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief again, lowered her head and pretended to cheer up and divert the topic, "Engong hasn't eaten yet, right?" My mother's porridge will be ready soon, and I'll send it to you right away. ”
With that, Lin Ruyu turned around and ran out of the yard quickly.
After her delicate back disappeared, An Ziyuan turned his eyes to look at the east wing, and when he saw Shen Ge lying unconscious on the bed, the little boy called Shengzi stayed by Shen Ge's bed and wiped his tears, and the murderous aura in his eyes dissipated.
Just when An Ziyuan looked at Chen Hong, Ma Qinglin quickly walked out of the house and saluted with his fists, pleading, "Gongzi An is up?" The wound on Shen Ge's body is red, swollen and suppurated, do you have any medicine on your body? ”
Medicine, An Ziyuan naturally has it, otherwise the wound on his leg would not heal so quickly. But use medicine to save Shen Ge? Don't!
An Ziyuan shook his head guiltily, "I escaped from the flood in a hurry, and my luggage was left on the boat, ...... Brother Shen?" ”
Third Uncle Ma sighed, "This kid burned all night, and he was all burned in a daze...... ......"
Fang Jiayin was also anxious when he heard that Shen Ge was gone, but he didn't have a way at all.
After a while, Dafu brought corn porridge and side dishes to the West Courtyard, and then sent a bowl of black medicinal soup.
Shengzi took it back to the east wing room to feed Shen Ge to drink, and then cried and shouted, "Third uncle, come quickly, the medicine can't be fed." ”
Third Uncle Ma hurriedly returned to the wing, and Fang Jiayin also followed quickly. The corners of An Ziyuan's mouth hooked almost invisibly, and he turned back to the house.
An Fengchun set up the meal, lowered his voice and said, "Young master, we have to go, I'm afraid of change." ”
An Ziyuan nodded, "Set off immediately after dinner." ”
