Chapter 149: Heavy Rain
The days passed quickly, and the night grew deeper.
The medical officers of the medical officer hospital had already slept, and Lin Danqing went into the palace with the doctor in the afternoon to check the pulse of the nobles, and after a tired day, he was exhausted and went to rest early.
Lu Yu couldn't sleep, so he simply went to the medicine warehouse to pack up the prescription.
After packing up the prescription, he still didn't feel sleepy, so he looked for a medical book that he hadn't read on the medical bookshelf, and spread paper and pen in front of the table to copy the medical book.
The night was very quiet, there was only the sound of low-cut insects outside the hospital, and behind the layers of medicine shelves in the medicine storehouse, Lu Yu sat in front of the low table and copied the book by the light.
"Maimendong, peony, sedum, duck plant, and the Lord is fanatical ......"
"Bao Li, the stroke is crazy, and the white dog blood pill is ......"
"Inu ......"
With a pause in the tip of the pen, she looked at the word "dog" and was slightly distracted.
During the day, the four puppies in the boy's arms were like fluffy gnocchi, and she could feel the warmth of the back of her hand touching their fur, and when they came to lick her hand ignorantly, it always reminded her of another pair of eyes in her memory, clear and timid, like two shining black pearls.
She said to Duan Xiaoyan that "I don't like dogs" is fake.
She also had a black puppy many years ago.
She called it "Dark Clouds".
It was probably the third year of Lu Yu's fall on Meifeng, maybe earlier, and she didn't remember it very clearly.
There have been many days of drug testing, and Lu Yu has gradually adapted to the days on Luomei Peak. I learned to store food, I learned to lock myself in a thatched hut after drinking the decoction given by Yun Niang, and I learned to spend the night with the lonely lamp when Yun Niang was away.
It's just that days like this are boring.
So when he didn't try the medicine, Lu Yu secretly looked through the books in Yun Niang's room.
She was literate, her father had taught her to read, and she had been the least fond of reading, but at that time she began to be glad that there were so many books to pass the time in this place, so that the dull and gloomy days would not be so difficult.
Most of Yun Niang's books are medical books and pharmacology, and occasionally there are books on history and Jinglun. She compared the herbs she picked one by one, and gradually learned to identify some of them.
Yun Niang found out that she was peeking at the medical book, but she didn't stop her, and let her read it, looking very interested.
Later, the herbs were almost recognized, and Lu Yu began to know some simple recipes. After Yun Niang gave her a test of the medicine, Lu Yu would also use the herbs available in the mountains to detoxify the remaining poison and recuperate her body.
At that time, she was very happy, and always felt that her days on the mountain were not in vain, and gradually gave birth to the illusion that she might be able to become a female doctor in the future.
Later, Lu Yu often picked up some animals in the thatched hut.
In the mountains, there are often injured small animals, wild cats caught in the traps, rabbits with legs bitten off by foxes, and young birds that accidentally fall from their nests......
Lu Yu met them on the road, so he took them back, and when they were cured with medicinal herbs, they were put back in the mountains.
Slowly getting busy, I don't feel lonely anymore, the thatched house has become a lively medical hall in a trance, she is the doctor who hangs the pot to help the world, and the little beasts that were saved by chance have become patients who come to treat the disease.
Bitterness becomes rejoicing, and bitterness becomes sweetness.
One day, she picked up a wild dog in a mass grave, and she was supposed to be born shortly after her eyes were opened. Perhaps too weak, the female took away the other puppies, but this one was left.
Lu Yu took the puppy back to the thatched house.
The puppy has a black body and smooth fur, Lu Yu bit the pen and thought for a long time, and named it "Wuyun".
"The oxtail dark clouds splash thick ink, and the ox's head is windy and rainy, and the axle is ......"
In the past, my father used to ask them to write this poem to practice calligraphy, and Lu Yu liked the last two sentences the most, called "Hurriedly crossing the river in the rain, the rain suddenly cleared the mountains and green." ”
She touched the head of the dark cloud and whispered: "You are lucky to meet me, and it can be regarded as 'rain and sunshine'!" ”
The clouds grew quickly.
The puppy is alert and lively, often accompanied by her side, when going down the mountain to pick herbs, he will help Lu Yu carry the bamboo basket for picking herbs, during the day, Lu Yu will give his own food to the dark clouds to eat together, and at night, when Lu Yu sits under the lamp and reads the medical book, the dark clouds lie at her feet to keep vigil.
It is Lu Yu's only companion in the mountains, and sometimes Lu Yu sees the appearance of the puppy in the sun, and he feels that he has also returned to Changwu County, chasing butterflies on the embankment near the river.
Yun Niang sat at the small table under the tree to make medicine, looking at her thoughtfully.
"You like this puppy very much."
Lu Yu hugged the dark cloud's neck and let out a low "um".
She loved the puppy.
It's like a gift from God.
One morning, Lu Yu woke up and didn't see the shadow of the dark clouds. At this time of the day, the puppy has already come to bite her quilt.
She hurried out of the house, and finally saw a dark cloud in the corner of the courtyard.
The dark cloud lay on the ground, and when he saw it, he struggled to open his eyes and whimpered.
Lu Yu threw himself beside it, helplessly trying to pick it up.
"Don't worry, I let it help me try a new drug."
Yun Niang turned out from under the tree, holding an empty bowl in her hand, looked at Lu Yu on the ground and said with a smile: "I haven't chosen a name yet, the ingredients are curly cypress, female youth, wolf venom, iris, arsenic...... and so on" She said a lot.
Lu Yu stared at her blankly, and finally couldn't help but tremble.
Arsenic is poisonous.
Puppies can't take arsenic, not to mention that the clouds are less than half a year old.
Yun Niang said, "Seven days." ”
“…… What seven days? ”
"Haven't you learned some medicine now? If you can detoxify it in seven days, it will live. ”
The woman's smile was gentle, with a little curious concern: "I have already told you all about this poisonous material, little seventeen, don't let me down." ”
Lu Yu hugged his partner in his arms tightly, his face pale.
It was a very short and long seven days.
Every moment was like an ordeal, she hardly ate or slept, forgot the time, went through all the medical books, and only hated why she couldn't read more pharmacology, why couldn't the medical skills be more subtle. She seemed to have become a waste, and her proud dream of being a female doctor had been shattered.
It's ridiculously stupid.
By the seventh day, the clouds were festering all over their bodies.
The puppy is not dead yet, it can't make a sound, the bright eyes are staring at her with infinite affection, Lu Yu's tears are dripping on the back of his hand, and the puppy stretches out his tongue and licks its hand gently.
She couldn't make a recipe for detoxification, and she couldn't save her friends at all.
Lu Yu knelt down in front of Yun Niang, choked up and pleaded: "Yun Niang...... Yun Niang...... You save it......"
Yun Niang leaned over, gently pulled away her hand that was grabbing the corner of her skirt, and shook her head with a sigh.
"Little Seventeen, you can't put all your hopes in others."
"And," she smiled, "you don't have to pay me for the consultation now." ”
Back then, Lu Yu took himself as a condition and begged Yun Niang to save the Lu family.
But now, she is not even her own, and she is no longer qualified to do business with Yun Niang.
It was overcast outside, and the clouds swallowed in her arms.
She watched as it swallowed.
The warm, furry body gradually became cold and stiff, it would no longer be the first to rush up and lick her hand after each drug test, and those dark, shiny eyes gradually became sluggish, turning into two solidified, dim dead beads, which would never reflect Lu Yu's figure again.
Lost in her soul, she carried the dead cloud to the pine forest at the summit.
The mountains are full of pines and cypresses, and Lu Yu found a beautiful little pine tree, dug a pit under the pine tree, and wanted to bury the dark clouds under the tree. Halfway through the digging, there was a sudden rumbling of thunder and torrential rain.
Lu Yu hurriedly picked up the dark clouds, lest the heavy rain wet the fur of the dark clouds, the puppy's cold body was close to him, she finally couldn't hold back, hugged the body of the dark clouds and cried loudly.
The rain burst like the water, and the wind howled angrily, enveloping her cry.
She sat like this, her pupils reflecting the sudden rainstorm on the summer mountain. Until the black clouds disperse and the rain gradually stops, the summer mountain rain comes and goes quickly. A round of rainbows glows after sunrise.
As the poem says, he hurriedly crossed the stream in the rain...... The rain was sudden, and the mountains were green.
The rainstorm stopped.
But the rain didn't stop.
It hangs over a person's head and can fall at any moment. The clouds are dead, but the torrential rain is still there, it can't stop forever, you don't know when it will come down, like the waves of a rising tide, dragging people to the bottom.
That was the first lesson Yun Niang taught her.
Man cannot stop a rainstorm from falling, just as she cannot prevent life from dying.
"Click-" sounded.
Thinking about it, the pen in his hand was unstable, and when it fell on the paper, it dragged out a dazzling ink mark.
The waning moon outside the window was hazy, the lights filled the room, and the ink marks on the paper were like black scars, suddenly stinging people's eyes.
Lu Yu suddenly felt a little bored.
She grabbed the paper in front of her and crumpled it into a ball, and threw it off the distance like a vent.
The ball of paper gurgled and rolled, and then it was lit up and rolled to a pair of boots.
Someone bent down to pick up the waste paper on the ground and said with a smile: "It offended you?" ”
Lu Yu's body stiffened.
She raised her eyes and saw Pei Yunyi walking in from outside the door.
The night is deeper, the lights are shining, the young man takes off the scarlet official clothes in the daytime, and changes into a moon-white dark flower cloud pattern jade brocade spring shirt.
Lu Yu froze: "Why are you here?" ”
This person's entry into the medical hospital is almost like no one's land, and Lu Yu is no longer surprised. If it is discovered, it is not you who suffers. Let him go.
Pei Yunyao walked to the table opposite her and sat down, and took out a piece of paper from his arms: "You came to the palace marshal's mansion during the day, and you left a prescription, so I specially sent it to you." ”
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and saw that the note was indeed lost by himself, probably caught in the medical book, and lost it when he checked the pulse with those guards.
"Thank you." She put away the paper.
Pei Yunyi nodded and continued: "By the way, I will ask you for a bottle of food pills." ”
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Did you finish the bottle for the adults last time?" ”
Last time, Pei Yunyao came and said that the dog of the palace marshal's mansion had a bad spleen and stomach, and asked Lu Yu for a bottle of food pill. There was a lot of food pills in that bottle, and it didn't take long.
She reminded: "Dogs can't eat too much. ”
Pei Yunyi smiled: "For Duan Xiaoyan." ”
“……”
She didn't say anything more, got up and went to the medicine cabinet to find Pei Yunyao's food pill.
Pei Yunyi leaned back in the chair and stared at her back standing in front of the medicine cabinet for a while, and suddenly said, "Why are you afraid of dogs?" ”
With a trembling of his fingertips, Lu Yu lowered his head, continued to open the medicine drawer, and said, "I'm not afraid of dogs." ”
"Then why did you reject Duan Xiaoyan's proposal?"
"Master Pei, I made it very clear, I hate dogs, so I refuse."
"Hate?" Pei Yunyi hooked his lips, "But your face looks white with fright." ”
Lu Yu: "......"
She took out the food pill from the medicine drawer, closed the cabinet, and walked to Pei Yunyao.
The spring night dissolves, the window is half open, there is the soft sound of frightened birds taking off in the forest in the distance, and the fragrance of pear blossoms is pushed into the small courtyard by the wind through the pond water, and the sleeves are also stained with fragrance.
On the corner of the table in the room, in the bronze camel lamp, the silver candle burned quietly, and the soft light flowed all over the room, falling a faint shadow on the ground.
The young man's eyes were also like the cool night of Shengjing spring, seemingly gentle, but with a deeper coldness, looking at her with unknown meaning.
Lu Yu was silent.
This person, this person is not as clear as it looks on the outside, as if he can see through all the disguises of people at a glance and gain insight into the secrets of people's hearts.
So, there's no need to disguise.
"Well, I'm afraid of dogs."
Lu Yu put the bottle of the next food pill in front of Pei Yunyi, sat back down at the table, and then said without being salty: "Because I was bitten by a dog when I was a child." ”
"That dog is very annoying, like a piece of dog skin plaster, chasing me relentlessly, and I can't get rid of it."
Pei Yunyi was stunned.
After a while, he chuckled and sighed, "How did you carry a gun with a stick?" It seems that Dr. Lu is in a very bad mood today. ”
Lu Yu didn't want to continue this conversation with him, and glanced at the medicine bottle on the table: "The next food pill has been given to Master Pei." ”
Pei Yunyi picked up the porcelain bottle containing the medicine, but he didn't leave immediately, only said, "I heard that you came out for me today?" ”
This was said thoughtlessly, and Lu Yu was puzzled: "What? ”
He lowered his head and smiled, and said in a light tone: "When you were in Jin Xianrong's mansion during the day, didn't you prick him a few more stitches for me." ”
Lu Yu was stunned at first, and then suddenly understood.
During the day, Jin Xianrong said a few disrespectful words to Pei Yunyi, and she did hurt him a few times at that time.
But that was in Kim Hyun-young's house.
At that time, apart from himself, there were only Jin Xianrong and his subordinates in the house......
The Marshal's Mansion......
The means are really heavenly.
In an instant, a chill arose in my heart.
She raised her eyes to look at the person opposite, the young man's facial features were handsome and soft under the lamp, and the moon-white brocade robe lined him with nobility and gentleness, but if you look closely, the outline is delicate and sharp.
Weapons are good at hurting people.
A sharp knife, no matter how gorgeous it looks on the outside, can't hide the fact that it's dangerous.
Pei Yunyi didn't seem to notice Lu Yu's sudden vigilance, with a little smile on his face, and asked indifferently, "Why did Doctor Lu stand up for me?" ”
Lu Yu was silent.
It stands to reason that she and Pei Yunyao are not related, even though Pei Yunyao does not intend to stop her revenge for the time being, Lu Yu always treats him at a delicate distance. This person's status is very high, and she secretly doesn't know what she is doing, she can't cope with her own affairs, and she really doesn't have the energy or heart to be a kind person who sees unevenness on the road.
She's not a nosy person at all.
The spring night was cold, the moonlight was shy, and a gust of evening wind blew from the window, blowing the figure shrouded in the light of the light also had a faint coldness.
Lu Yan tightened his clothes for a long time before he spoke: "Rice money." ”
"Food?"
Lu Yu nodded and looked into the other party's eyes: "When I first entered the medical hospital, I ate Master Pei's lotus cake, and Lord Pei confiscated the silver. ”
"This is worth the money for cooking."
She said it seriously, as if she was talking about a business transaction of tens of millions of taels, but Pei Yunyi was slightly stunned.
That night, not long after Lu Yu was assigned to the South Pharmacy, the cold pot and cold stove in the small kitchen collided with Pei Yunyao, who was passing by.
She ate Pei Yunyi's lotus cake, but Pei Yunyi confiscated her silver and left like that.
Pei Yunyao nodded: "I see." Looking at her again, he smiled and said, "It's just a basket of pastries, what is Dr. Lu doing so clearly?" ”
It seems that she always divides these debts very clearly, plasters, snacks, and life-saving feelings......
I am afraid that I owe others, or I am owed by others.
Lu Yu said lightly: "The palace marshal doesn't know, the grievances of the eyes will be repaid, and the virtue of a meal will be repaid, this is the rule of our Lu family." ”
Pei Yunyi looked at her thoughtfully.
The woman sat under the lamp and flipped through the medical books, the dim light was hazy, her long hair was stripped of her bun, and she was draped over her shoulders like satin, and her aqua blue dress was like a flower in the mountain night, blooming calmly and quietly.
After a pause in his hand playing with the medicine bottle, he thought about it and asked again, "Why don't you ask about my family?" ”
Lu Yu was stunned and couldn't help but raise his eyes.
The young man propped his chin and looked at her with a faint smile, his tone was careless, but his eyes were as calm as deep water, hiding some ripples that she couldn't understand.
There is a very light aroma of blue musk deer in the air, or perhaps the newly blooming pear blossoms outside the yard are too fragrant to ignore.
Lu Yu retracted his gaze and said lightly: "I'm not interested in other people's affairs. ”
Hearing this, Pei Yunyi was stunned, and looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression.
The dense small characters in front of him looked blurry under the lights, and Lu Yu suddenly lost the interest in continuing to read, was silent for a while, and asked, "Why didn't Master Pei ask Jin Xianrong why he said this?" ”
Jin Xianrong insulted the Pei family very much in and out of his words, judging from Pei Yunyi's previous methods of cleaning up King Wenjun, this commander made the adults ruthless and retribution, and he really didn't look like a character who would forget it in vain. What's more, he has inserted people in Jin Xianrong's mansion, which can be regarded as bold. Lu Yu thought that he would take revenge and come back, but he didn't expect him to seem to care too much.
It's as if he doesn't care about the Zhaoning Mansion or the reputation of the Zhaoning Mansion.
Pei Yunyi blinked and sighed very lightly, "Who doesn't know about my family's affairs?" ”
"The palace marshal is not angry?"
He shrugged: "What is said is also the truth. ”
Lu Yu stopped talking, she couldn't understand Pei Yunyi.
A gust of wind blew, the camel lamp on the table trembled twice, Pei Yunyi reached out and dialed the wick, and the light brightened a little. He said: "Baozhu's medicine is almost finished, my sister asked me to ask you, when will you change the prescription?" ”
Originally, Lu Yu was in the Renxin Medical Center, and every few days he would go to Pei Yunshu's house to treat Pei Yunshu's mother and daughter, and by the way, he would change the prescription according to the situation of Baozhu. Since I came to the Hanlin Medical Hospital, I have been so busy every day that I have forgotten that the day of changing the new prescription is just around the corner.
"The medical hospital is closed for two days a month," Lu Yu said: "I didn't leave last month, and I will go back to the medical hall this month, and then I will personally see the jewel and change the dressing." ”
Pei Yunyi nodded: "It's okay." ”
There was silence again.
He picked up the medicine bottle on the table and stood up, and stopped when he walked to the door: "Doctor Lu." ”
Lu Yu: "What? ”
The young man stood with his back to her, and after a while, smiled, "Thank you." ”
Didn't say anything more and left.
Silence returned to the room, and Lu Yu put down his hand and looked ahead.
The moon breaks through the light clouds, the flower shadows are gone, and the cool moon flows through the land, reflecting the plain white frost.
There was no sign of him outside the door.
"The virtue of a meal will be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes will be repaid." - "Historical Records"
