Quiet all around.

The plum tree at the door was like a net covered with snow, wrapping the hospital inside.

Ah Cheng reacted, threw away the blanket and ran to the house, staring at the person in front of him vigilantly, hesitating to call the owner of the backyard and Yinzheng out to help.

Miao Liangfang stared at Lu Yu, his expression uncertain.

"Sit down, Doctor Miao." Lu Yu said.

After a long stalemate, Miao Liangfang snorted, and finally walked to the back room with a wooden stick and sat down.

Seeing this, Ah Cheng hurriedly carried the teapot and poured two cups of tea on the table, looked at Lu Yu again, and after getting Lu Yu's signal, he lifted the felt curtain and went to the backyard to help Du Changqing and Yinzheng work.

Only Lu Yu and Miao Liangfang were left in the medical hall.

Lu Yu pushed the tea in front of him to Miao Liang's side, Miao Liang didn't answer, turned his head to look around, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the "streamlined test questions" that Lu Yu put on the table.

After a long time, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yu and said, "How do you know my identity?" ”

Straight to the point, that is, acknowledging what Lu Yu said.

"Guessed."

"Guess?"

Lu Yu said: "The books and volumes of Mr. are different from the medical books outside, and the nine subjects are involved, and the form is the same. I heard that the spring examination paper of the Taiyi Bureau cannot be passed on, if it is not the Taiyi Bureau or the people who have passed the spring examination, I am afraid that they will not be able to write such a regular test question just by making it up. ”

Miao Liangfang narrowed his eyes: "Just based on this, you think I'm from the Medical Academy?" ”

"Not really." Lu Yu looked at the teacup, "I can't be sure of the identity of Mr., so I asked Hu Yuan to go to the medical clinic to inquire for me, and in the past thirty years, ordinary medical workers have passed the list of people who have passed the spring examination." ”

Miao Liangfang's expression was shocked.

Lu Yu smiled faintly.

There are very few people who can pass the spring test to enter the Hanlin Medical Hospital, and a piece of paper is enough to write the full name, and the folk medical firm can produce a Hanlin medical officer, and everyone has to beat the gong and drum to celebrate, so it doesn't sound difficult.

"Twenty years ago, in the spring examination of the Taiyi Bureau, there was a mediocre medical worker surnamed Miao who passed the spring exam with the third place and became the only medieval medical officer in the Hanlin Medical Court that year."

Lu Yu's voice was unhurried, "I heard that this person has outstanding medical skills, is proficient in pharmacology, and was originally highly valued by the medical officer's hospital, but ten years ago, he was kicked out of the medical hospital for committing a crime, and he has not been seen since." ”

With every word Lu Yu said, Miao Liangfang's face became paler, and the hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly.

Lu Yu raised his eyes: "Sir, is that the Hanlin medical officer who passed the spring test?" ”

Miao Liangfang stared at Lu Yu, and something flashed in his dim eyes hidden under the messy hair, but soon, he laughed, as if he had heard some joke.

He spread out his hand and pointed to his tattered jacket, "Me? Doctor Hanlin, do you believe this? ”

"Faith."

Miao Liangfang froze.

Lu Yu looked at him: "I believe it." ”

These days, she has repeatedly read the volume that Du Changqing bought, and she has become more and more convinced that this person is not simple. Du Changqing inquired that Miao Liangfang had lived in West Street for many years, copying books for others to make a living, and sometimes doing some odd jobs. When you have money, you buy rice to cook porridge, and when you don't have money, you go hungry.

No one knows where he came from or what the situation is at home, only that he is a heavy drinker and gets drunk all day long, and no one looks down on him. If Du Changqing can still guard the small medical hall left by his old father and barely win a smile, then Miao Liangfang is on West Street, and he is a rotten drunkard who can even step on Huazi.

But it was such a rotten drunkard who was reluctant to get rid of the vigorous herbs in front of his house, and let them grow freely, covering most of the door panels.

That herb can't be raised without care,

The person in front of him looked at Lu Yu, the smile on his face could not be reluctantly any longer, clenched his fists, and said in a low voice: "Inquire about this, what do you want to do?" ”

"I said that I want to participate in the spring examination of the Taiyi Bureau and enter the Hanlin Medical Hospital as a medical officer."

"Stop making trouble!" Miao Liangfang laughed angrily, "Every year in the spring test, how many ordinary medical workers can become medical officers?" Stinky girl, in order to be angry with Taifu Siqing, what do you think of medical Taoism? ”

"Besides," as if realizing that his words were not good, Miao Liangfang took a sip of the teacup and calmed down a little before continuing: "What's so good about being a medical officer?" Once something happens to the nobles in the palace, they often ask the medical officer to accompany the funeral, who do you think the medical officer who accompanied the funeral? Naturally, these ordinary medical officers with no background and no connections! ”

He read in a whisper, "If you do a good job, you will be robbed, if you can't do a good job, you can't buy a few cabbages, and the risk is to lose your head, you only look at the bright surface, how can you afford the price?" ”

Lu Yu asked, "What price?" ”

"At what cost?" Miao Liangfang muttered, suddenly twitching his trouser legs, "This is the price!" ”

Lu Yu stared, his gaze moving slightly.

The wide trouser leg was lifted up to the knee, revealing the scarred leg of the man opposite, which had completely shrunk from the calf, glowing a horrible dark purple, like a shriveled dead wood without moisture, stiffly grafted onto the human body.

Seeing Lu Yu's face, Miao Liangfang snorted, then dropped his trouser leg again, and said, "Do you see it, ...... you?"

"Who injured your leg?" Lu Yu interrupted him.

Miao Liangfang was stunned.

Is this the focus to focus on?

Lu Yu looked at him: "Why were you kicked out of the Hanlin Medical Hospital?" ”

"You ......"

"Who hurt you?"

“……”

The person in front of him said one sentence after another, and his tone was calm, and he was stunned when he asked. Miao Liangfang's hand on his lap clenched slightly, lowered his head and took a deep breath, and said, "This is not what you should be."

"I can help you get revenge."

The words came to an abrupt halt, and he looked up suddenly.

Lu Yu looked at him: "I don't know who has harmed you to such a point, but if you help me pass the spring exam and enter the Hanlin Medical Academy......"

"I can help you get revenge back."

The young doctor was quiet, and the cold promise came out of her mouth, as if it were the most ordinary dialogue. The heat floating on the tea cup covered her beautiful face with a pale white mist, but her eyes were as cold as the deep sea.

She's tricking him into accepting the terms.

Miao Liang's cheek twitched a few times, only to feel that his leg, which had not been felt for many years, began to feel shallow pain again.

"What are you kidding...... he muttered, and then, his expression became angry, and he glared at Lu Yu: "What a joke! ”

With a "clang", the tea cup was blown to the ground by the sleeve wind, and a table of water stains was poured.

Without waiting for Lu Yu to speak, Miao Liangfang grabbed the wooden stick that was resting on the side and rushed out of the door.

The missing tea trickled from the corner of the table to the floor, where it gathered into a small puddle of moist water.

Du Changqing, who was eavesdropping behind the door, opened the felt curtain and hurriedly walked in, Du Changqing looked out of the door, puzzled: "Hey, why did he leave?" ”

Lu Yu followed, and there was no shadow of Miao Liangfang outside the door, only messy footprints and shadows left by wooden sticks fell on the snow-covered ground, reminding this person that he had just come.

"He'll be back." Lu Yu said in a low voice.

……

The night was getting deeper.

The shops on West Street were closed, and the red brocade lanterns on the eaves of the street gradually lit up.

The bright moonlight splashed on the snow on the long street, and then came to an abrupt end when it was thrown into the thatched hut. It seems that neither day nor night, day nor moonlight, the light does not shine in.

The weeds growing in front of the door were peeled off, the half-old broken wooden door made a muffled "creaking" sound, accompanied by the sound of crutches on the ground, Miao Liangfang walked into the house.

It was night, and there was no light in the house.

He never lit the lamp.

It's like foraging for a beast returning to a dark cave, and the darker it is, the more reassuring it is.

After a day of wandering around the street during the day, I felt that my other leg was sore. At this time on weekdays, he would only grope to get to bed and sleep when he was drunk, but today, the ghost sent the gods, Miao Liangfang jumped in front of the window with his support for the wall, and pushed open the small window on the wall that was not too spacious.

A gap of moonlight slipped into the house through the crack in the window, Miao Liangfang subconsciously stretched out his hand, blocking his eyes, and after a while, he slowly lowered his arm and gradually adapted to the bright night.

There was a wine jar on the table, Miao Liangfang reached out and took the wine jar, tilted his neck and poured it for a long time, only pouring out a few drops of residual wine.

He wiped his face and threw the jar to the ground, and with a "bang", the sound was very crisp in the night, and he didn't pay attention to the fragments on the ground, and looked up at the small piece of moon in the crack of the window.

The crescent moon is small and bright, with a blurred layer of white at the edges, like a small glowing flag, stretching over the pitch-black sky.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in the Renxin Medical Center during the day, the carpet flag in the hand of the young man at the door was so shiny and eye-catching.

A good doctor has a sentient solution to the disease, and the magic is silent to eliminate the disease——

It symbolizes a banner of glory, a word of thanksgiving, and even a reward of wealth...... He had.

Those flattering flattery, the compliments of people coming and going, and the envious eyes of others, he also accepted them all.

Only later......

Miao Liangfang lowered his head, and his gaze fell on his unconscious right leg.

The moonlight shone on him, illuminating the dirty trouser leg very clearly, and the small stain that I don't know if it was oil or something was illuminated more and more dirty, like a steady stream of blood oozing from it, and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe suddenly.

Suddenly, there was a messy shouting sound in my ears.

"Miao Liangfang, you are stubborn and self-serving, deliberately misdiagnosed and poisoned your mother, ruthless and immoral, unworthy of practicing medicine, you should be held accountable!"

He heard his helpless voice: "Wronged, wronged—"

The shadow of someone passed in front of him, his official uniform neatly unfolded, and the boots on his feet were fresh and dusty, and then fell heavily on his bloody legs, grinding hard.

"Miao Liangfang, Miao Liangfang," he saw the faces of countless people, joyful, proud, full of condescension and viciousness, and said teasingly: "I thought the name was Liangfang, and a few prescriptions could be rampant in the medical hospital?" ”

He patted Miao Liangfang's face contemptuously and spit out two words: "Untouchable." ”

Untouchables......

Miao Liangfang sat in front of the window, looking worried.

He has been practicing medicine for generations in his family, and he compiled a book of 100 years of experience, vowing to write a book of "Miao's Good Prescription" to benefit ordinary medical workers.

But later, he was questioned and kicked out of the Hanlin Medical Hospital, and the volume of "Miao's Good Prescription" was still compiled into a book by the Medical Hospital, but the person who held the book was another name.

He fought and made trouble, and finally sank into the sea like a stone and died without a problem.

The family heirloom was not kept, and he made wedding clothes for others, he did not dare to return to his hometown, and he had no shame to face the ancestors of the Miao family, so he wandered in Shengjing for decades, drinking heavily. After a long time, he only knew that he was the "cripple Miao" of West Street, but he forgot that he was also a "Miao Medical Officer" who was a blockbuster and proud of the spring breeze in the spring examination. ”

The medicine woman, the medicine woman's eyebrows and eyes were calm, as if she could see through the pain and anger in his heart, secret and mourning, and said to him: "I can help you get revenge back." ”

She didn't even know what was going on.

Miao Liangfang smiled self-deprecatingly.

Not to expect.

In the first few years after the incident, he searched for old friends, and his former friends and colleagues retreated one after another, for fear of getting into trouble. Those he had saved instead accused him of taking advantage of his kindness, and his righteous words made him frightened.

No one wants to help him.

No one would take the risk of helping a criminal who was born from an ordinary person and committed a great disaster. What's more, ten years have passed, and the person who harmed him is in a high position and his position is unshakable.

She is just a doctor from an ordinary background, but she said that she wanted to avenge him.

How ridiculous.

"Ridiculous...... Miao Liangfang leaned over, covered his face and laughed lowly.

"It's ridiculous......."

Laughing and laughing, but drops of clear liquid dripped from between his fingers, wetting the moonlight in front of the window.

……

The winter night was cold, and the wind sounded like a whimper.

Silver Kite stood in front of the table and leaned over and slammed the window door shut, so that the cold and the night were cut out.

The lights in the house were dim, and the silver shears cut off a wick, and the fire became bright.

Yinzheng put down the scissors in his hand and turned to look at Lu Yu, who was packing up his medical certificate: "Girl, will that Mr. Miao really come again today?" ”

"Yes." Lu Yu said.

In fact, she is not very sure, he left decisively, did not leave a word, whether he will go and return, it ultimately depends on the obsession in his heart.

However, it has been 20 years since Miao Liangfang's spring test was a blockbuster, and more than ten years have passed since he left the Hanlin Medical Hospital. Time is a magical thing, it can change everything, it can make ambitions wear off, heroes become mediocre.

"But," Yin Zheng wondered, "how did the girl know that Mr. Miao was framed?" ”

This "cripple seedling" has lived in West Street for many years, and the neighbors of Sifang Street are not familiar with him, and because he is drunk and sloppy, few people inquire about him. Lu Yu decided that he was not an ordinary person at a glance, found out his identity as a medical officer, and threatened to avenge him.

Lu Yu said: "I don't know. ”

Yinzheng was stunned: "But the girl said ......"

"I only said that I would take revenge on him for the person who caused him to be lame, not that he was framed." Lu Yu accepted the medical certificate, "I don't care if he's good or bad." ”

She doesn't care about any conflict between Miao Liangfang and Hanlin Medical Hospital, she only cares about whether Miao Liangfang can be used for herself. Just like when Yun Niang saved Lu Yu's family, the premise was that Lu Yu went with her. Today, the relationship between her and Miao Liangfang is just a transaction.

Silver can't impress Miao Liangfang, so naturally there are other things. People live for a lifetime, nothing more than love and hate.

Yin Zheng was silent for a long time, and then spoke cautiously: "But, if Mr. Miao refuses to agree to the girl's conditions, what should he do?" ”

Miao Liangfang didn't seem to be able to enter the oil and salt, and Du Changqing personally came to the door to promise heavy profits, but he was unmoved. During the day, he came to the medical hall to discuss with Lu Yu, but he didn't say a few words and walked away. It seems that if you don't take anyone seriously, you may not agree to the requests of others.

Lu Yu lowered his eyes.

"There's not just one way to go." After a while, she said, "If he refuses, think of another way." ”

The road is dead, people are alive, she wants to enter the Hanlin Medical Hospital, with the help of Miao Liangfang, she can get twice the result with half the effort, but if there is no Miao Liangfang, she is not unable to move an inch.

There is always another way.

Yinzheng nodded and didn't say anything more.

I slept late this night, and in the second half of the night, it began to snow lightly in Shengjing. On the second day, when Lu Yu got up, it was not yet full of light.

In front of the window, the red plum blossomed a few branches overnight, and a few flowers were embellished on the long branches, and they became more and more sparse in the snow.

Lu Yu pushed open the window, and what he saw was the red plum snow scene, which was beautiful, and he was in a trance for a moment.

It seems to have returned to Luomei Peak many years ago, and when she woke up, she was surrounded by an empty bowl for testing medicine, she got up from the ground, stumbled out of the house, and when she looked up, the mountains were covered with snow.

Someone behind her called her: "Girl? ”

Lu Yu suddenly came back to his senses, and Yinzheng rubbed his eyes and stood at the door: "Why did you wake up so early?" ”

She was stunned for a moment, as if she gradually realized that this was Shengjing at the feet of the Son of Heaven, not on Luomei Peak in southern Jiangsu thousands of miles away.

Yinzheng didn't notice Lu Yu's strange expression, only yawned, and tightened his clothes again, "It's so cold, the girl hurry into the house, the cold wind can't blow, and the cold will be bad." ”

Lu Yu followed her into the house, the two of them simply freshened up, boiled the silver zither in water, and went to open the door with Lu Yu.

It's cold in winter, the day dawns late, and the West Street vendors open later. The door of the hospital was opened, the doors of the tailor shop and the silk shoe shop on the opposite street were still closed, the sky was just dawning, and the snowy sky was gray in the early morning, like a layer of white mist.

Yinzheng picked up the broom, intending to sweep away the snow at the door, before he walked to the door, "Ahh

Lu Yu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yin Zheng pointed to the plum tree: "Girl......"

Lu Yu looked.

There was a man sitting under the plum tree, and I don't know how long he had been sitting here, covered with a layer of snow, and at first glance he thought it was a corpse. As soon as he moved, the snow fell from his felt hat, revealing his greasy, furrowed face.

Lu Yu was slightly stunned.

That person is Miao Liangfang.

Miao Liangfang held on to the tree and slowly stood up.

I don't know if it's because of his lame legs, or because he has been frozen here for too long, his movements are a little stiff, and he staggers like a toddler.

No one spoke.

For a long time, Miao Liangfang shuddered, looked at Lu Yu, and his tone was as impatient as yesterday: "Do you know that the spring exam is very difficult, and the ordinary medical workers who have passed the spring exam in the past three years can be counted on one hand." ”

"I know."

"Then you still take the test?"

"It's still a test."

He took two steps forward, rubbed his nose, and said uncomfortably: "What you said yesterday, do you still count?" ”

Lu Yu looked at him.

Miao Liangfang was still wearing the jacket that leaked cotton yesterday, the hole in his chest seemed to have become bigger, his hair was gray, his eyes were red, and he was standing under the plum tree, clumsy and stiff like a snowman.

The snowman that was carefully piled up by Ah Cheng and crushed by the servant woman of Taifu Temple.

The snowman's dark eyes were like two dusty black dates, with a hint of earnest, thin hope, looking at her timidly.

The snow stopped, West Street was silent in the early morning, and the plaque of the medical hall was facing the plum tree at the gate, and the branches and leaves could not hide the word "benevolence".

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Of course." ”

"Lu Yu" invited "Miao Liangfang" to join the group chat [Renxin Medical Center Blind Date and Love Family]

"Miao Liangfang" is not friends with other people in the group, please pay attention to privacy and security.
