Chapter 425: Enter the Valley of the Medicine King
When Lu Qingtang and the three of them arrived at the Medicine King Valley, it was close to noon, they took out dry food and water and padd their stomachs at will, and then waited on the only way out of the mountain.
To avoid being spotted by the guards, they hid behind a large tree.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw a middle-aged man in his thirties walking out of the valley.
The man was dressed in an aqua blue cloth robe and carried a wooden box with the words "Miaoshou Li" written on it.
He is the proud disciple of Shui Fangye, the lord of the Medicine King Valley, although his medical skills are not the most brilliant, but he is better than his filial piety, and he is a well-known good man in the valley.
It's just that a good man is useless, he hasn't married a daughter-in-law until now, if it weren't for his father saying that he had a headache, he wouldn't have bothered to go home.
He knew that as soon as he came home, the nagging old lady at home would inevitably be chattering in his ear. Say that people in their thirties, it's time to find a daughter-in-law, and if you don't look for it, you can only live alone.
Is it that he doesn't want to look for it? Who made him ugly, stupid, nervous when he saw a woman talking, especially a beautiful woman.
The more I didn't want to go, the heavier my feet became, and I couldn't wait until dawn, and then I could turn around and go back to the Medicine King Valley.
As he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman crying and wiping away her tears, and when she looked up, she saw a young man lying on the ground not far away. The young man was foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
Next to him, the woman was shaking his shoulders vigorously, shouting as she shook: "Little brother, why are you sick, what can you do, who will save people, help!" ”
Looking next to him, another tall man stomped his feet eagerly, shouting something in his mouth.
These three people were dressed in shabby clothes, and some of them were born with ordinary appearances, and at first glance they knew that they were children of poor families.
The poor child is pitiful, and he doesn't understand anything, and when he is sick, he can't shake it, and he can't choke to death.
Miaoshou Li quickly ran forward and opened his mouth to stop: "You can't shake like this, people are about to be shaken to death by you!" ”
The woman turned her face, and a wide face with Chinese characters looked very blessed, and a pair of eyes were full of tears.
Li did not care to observe the woman's face carefully, so he hurriedly put down the medicine box, took out a small wooden stick from it, pinched the young man's chin with one hand, stuffed the small wooden stick horizontally into his mouth with the other hand for him to bite, and then reached out to untie the clothes on his chest.
Soon, the young man finally stopped convulsing and had passed out.
The woman next to her cried even more, and said to the tall man next to her while crying: "Brother, what should I do, my little brother won't die, so how can we be worthy of our dead mother......"
The tall man wiped his tears and cried on the side, "It's all my uselessness, I can't protect you and my brother, I'm really damned!" ”
Li, who was taking the pulse of the young man, felt annoyed when he heard the two of them crying like this.
It can be seen that this is a family of three brothers and sisters, this woman is the middle of their family, the one on the ground is the younger brother, and the next one is the elder brother.
He also saw that the younger brother's illness was not a day or two, but ignorance and poverty made them helpless.
He was also very sympathetic to the three of them, so he didn't plan to ask them to get medicine to cure the disease.
If you can save it for a while, you can't save it for a lifetime.
Then he said to them, "Don't weep, your brother is fine, but he has fainted, and now he needs to recuperate, so you can take him home and rest for a few days." ”
As soon as the words fell, the woman's cry was like thunder.
She cried out loud and said, "Where is there a home? Our home has long been blown away by the wind, and the governor doesn't care about us, so we have to flee all the way here. ”
She stretched out three fingers to Miaoshou Li, "It's been three days, we have only eaten wild fruits and spring water for three days, where else can we go?" ”
After saying that, she began to cry again, and her tearful eyes looked pitiful.
Although the face is a little bigger, these eyes have a charm that ordinary people have never had.
Looking at those eyes, Miaoshou Li's heart trembled, and he began to get nervous.
He stumbled to the woman and said, "You...... Don't you cry...... You...... Otherwise, I'm ...... I'll take you to my house......"
Halfway through his words, he regretted it again, so he changed his words again: "No, it's not my family, I'll take you back to the Valley of the Medicine King, where there is a place to live, food and drink, and you can also treat your brother." ”
His family has only three tiled houses, and his family feels cramped to live in, and the most important thing is how much rice and grain they have to eat to bring them back.
If it was just this little lady, he would think he would be able to make a living.
Thin is a little thinner, it's a woman, at least she can have children.
If it weren't for these two men, maybe he could have forcibly brought the woman home. But the brother next to him looks so tall, he must not have worked less often, how can he be an opponent when he fights.
It's better to bring them back to the Medicine King Valley, since they are grateful to themselves, maybe they will agree to marry their sister to themselves.
As he spoke, he pointed to the Medicine King Valley not far behind him, "Look, that's where I studied medicine, where I eat, drink, and wear." ”
The woman's face showed hesitation, "But will they take us in, we don't have a penny on us." ”
Miaoshou Li frowned, "It can be, but it'......"
He said, looking at the woman.
The woman seemed to see something, lowered her head, and looked very cute with a shy face.
Seeing that his heart was more and more excited.
But he still said, "But you are outsiders, and our lord of the valley has said that no stranger is allowed to enter the valley." ”
After speaking, his eyes continued to stay on the woman's body.
The woman lowered her eyes and smiled gracefully, but sighed, "Then what to do, we have nowhere to go." ”
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Miaoshou Li's sleeve, and said to him coquettishly: "Please ask the officials to help us think of a way, as long as you save my brother, I will repay you as a cow and a horse." ”
The woman's tugging of her sleeves was very light, and her crying was so sad and sad that his heart melted when he heard it.
Miaoshou Li was a little distracted, and reached out to grab the woman's hand, "I don't want you to be a cow and a horse, I haven't married a daughter-in-law this Chinese New Year's Eve, it's better for you to marry me, your brother is my brother, naturally not a ......."
Before he finished speaking, the brother on the other side protected the woman behind him.
He said: "Okay, just do as you say, if I marry my sister to you, you will have to take care of us, but before we get married, you can't do anything to my sister." ”
Miaoshou Li immediately laughed, "I know, I'm not the kind of person who is anxious, you wait first, I'll go back to the Medicine King Valley to find a car to bring you in." ”
After saying that, he hurriedly picked up his medicine box and turned around to leave.
After taking two steps, he turned his face to look at them, "By the way, I haven't asked you what your names are?" ”
The woman was the first to speak, "My name is Zhang Xiaohua." ”
The elder brother was stunned for a moment, and then pointed to the person lying on the ground with his finger, "My name is Zhang Dalong, and his name is Zhang Xiaohu." ”
Miaoshou Li didn't think much about it, and immediately ran away with a smile.
Watching his distant back disappear into the Medicine King Valley, Lu Qingtang finally couldn't help laughing.
Ji Wenzhan on the side couldn't help complaining, "You are still laughing, he touches your hand and you are still laughing, I can't wait to beat him to death with a fist." ”
Zeng Ke, who was sleeping on the ground, opened his eyes, and he looked aggrieved, "What, that person actually touched Lord Tang's hand, I haven't touched it!" ”
Lu Qingtang raised his foot and kicked him, "Play your patient well, don't be seen." ”
Zeng Ke pouted, "It's cold on the ground, I'm frozen to death." ”
Lu Qingtang glared at him, Zeng Ke immediately closed his eyes and stopped talking.
At this time, Ji Wenzhan opened his mouth and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your surname, I almost got into a goof." ”
Lu Qingtang smiled, looked at him with his arms folded, "I also made a temporary decision at this point, that old pervert surnamed Li is interesting to me, if I am still surnamed Li, then he will definitely not be willing to save us." ”
Ji Wenzhan nodded, "Yes, since ancient times, the same surname has not intermarried, so it is good to change it." ”
At this time, Zeng Ke, who was lying on the ground, opened his mouth, "I also acted well, why don't you praise me." ”
Hearing his words, Lu Qingtang and Ji Wenzhan laughed in unison.
After a while, Miaoshou Lee returned, bringing with him a cart and two servants. They helped lift Zeng Ke onto the cart and entered the Medicine King Valley together.
The beautiful scenery in the Yaowang Valley makes it impossible to take your eyes off it, all kinds of herbs are planted everywhere, and the air is filled with the bitter smell of decoction.
This is the legendary Valley of the Medicine King.
Lu Qingtang looked around, only feeling a little kind.
Miaoshou Li brought them into the Jinhui Hall where the subordinates lived, and specially arranged a separate room for Lu Qingtang, and Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan's room was next door to her.
There is a separate kitchen in the small courtyard where you can decoction and cook rice.
After giving Zeng Ke a few stitches, Miaoshou Li left the herbs to grasp well, and instructed Lu Qingtang to decoction the medicine and feed it to Zeng Ke back.
After sending off Miaoshou Li, Lu Qingtang began to pretend to go to the kitchen to decoct the medicine.
Although Jinhui Hall is a place where people live, it is clean and elegant, which shows the strictness of the housekeeper of Yaowang Valley.
Walking into the kitchen with the medicine, there were many medicine stoves in it, Lu Qingtang randomly chose a medicine stove to light it, and then began to decoct the medicine.
In the process of decocting the potion, she looked around at the layout of the kitchen, occasionally getting up and walking outside to stretch.
Occasionally, people would come in the kitchen, and Lu Qingtang took the initiative to greet them.
Some people were arrogant and ignored her, while others were more amiable and nodded and smiled at her, but they didn't say anything. Some people are naturally very enthusiastic, telling her where to go and where not to enter, Lu Qingtang wrote them down one by one.
After the medicine was decocted, she took the medicine into Zeng Ke and Ji Wenzhan's room.
Before he entered the door, he began to shout: "Brother, the medicine is decocted, you won't get sick if you drink the medicine!" ”
Entering the house, Zeng Ke was still lying on the bed, and Ji Wenzhan hurriedly stepped forward to help.
He poured the medicine into the bowl, Lu Qingtang opened the window next to him, and then poured out the bowl of medicine along the window.
The action is smooth and done in one go.
