Holding back her tears, Xue Bingning listened carefully, she didn't know why he wanted to tell her a story. But when he heard that he was half-blind about buying a baby girl, his expression couldn't help but be a little clear.

Xin Shansi told the story calmly, looked at Xue Bingning, felt the emotion in her eyes, and after finishing speaking, she took a few quiet breaths and said, "The old gentleman you said should be the old blind man." The old blind man has lived in Tangshan Village for decades, and he is particularly tolerant of only one person, and that is Xue Erniang. ”

She didn't know if her speculation was right or not, but she was sure that what Xue Bingning presented was in line with the Yuling Palace.

Could that be the case? Xue Bingning didn't know whether to believe it or not, and she didn't know whether to be happy that her mother had been worrying about her or whether she should be sad that she was sold by her grandmother. If it weren't for the good bones, would she have become an old blind man's medicine fat?

Tears still rolled down her eyes, she forced the hardship in her heart, and said with a forced smile: "It turns out... I'm almost eighteen years old, and I'm born in Layue, hehe..."I laughed, licked my chapped lips, and raised my hand to gently wipe away my tears, "A man like the old blind man has not been punished by God, and he is also worthy of the word 'sir'?" ”

If he suffers, Dr. Li is his curse. Only Xin Shansi didn't mention this stubble: "Do you know how Lu Yang goes?" ”

"You know, Yuling Palace has a whole map of the land. I remember it all. ”

Yuling Palace? Li Shang's heart moved, he hadn't heard of this faction, and raised his eyes to look at Xue Bingning: "You said that the teacher told you that your junior sister went to work in the building outside the mountain?" What building? ”

Xue Bingning shook his head: "I don't know." But as soon as I heard the story told by your wife, I thought... That building wasn't a good building either. Every month, there are new girls in Yuling Palace, the older ones are seven or eight years old, and the younger ones have not yet been shaved. Similarly, some people leave the door every month. Go upstairs, "put your hand on your left forearm," and here you will order a very small peach-pink bud. ”

Xin Shansi's eyelashes trembled, pink buds?

"Qinfeng Tower." Feng Xiao was surprised. The most expensive girls in Qinfeng Tower have a little peach pink bud on their left forearm, and the bud blooms once every March. It is said that on the night when the flowers were in full bloom, the girl's body was full of strange fragrance, and the bed room was particularly amorous, which could make the benefactor happy and better than the fairy. After a night of acacia, the blooming flower retracted into a bud.

In March last year, the flower of Qinfeng Lou in Shannan bloomed on the night of blooming, and it sold for 36,000 taels of silver overnight. The benefactor is a Mengren, and after that night, he even wrapped Liu Yue March.

In addition, the first Qinfeng Tower was built in Tanzhou, and a year and a half after its completion, Lingzhou Fengyue Villa was slaughtered. Fengyue Villa, the woman is in charge, and the industry is very miscellaneous, the most famous of which is the Qinglou Fengyue. Now there is no Fengyue Tower.

Xue Bingning asked, "What is Qinfeng Tower for?" ”

"Meat and skin business." The ruler sword is very straightforward.

Feng Xiao sneered: "Although it has always been rumored that the owner of Qinfeng Tower lives in Mengdu, I really didn't expect it to be her. ”

Li Shang was not surprised. There are many speculations about the lord behind Qinfeng Tower, one will be the Gil Haci clan, and the other will be which Daru Huachi... Where do these speculations come from? In his opinion, it is all for the sake of mystery. Before the time was ripe, Meng Yuling did not dare to expose herself, and she was afraid that her Qinfeng Tower would be targeted by someone, so the rumors were endless.

The forces of all parties, when they can't figure out the details of each other, have no bottom in their hearts. If you don't have the bottom, you will inevitably have more scruples when you start doing things. It can be seen that Meng Yuling is very good at speculating on people's hearts.

However, she also missed the calculation. If there are people who are not afraid, such as Mengyao.

Leather and meat business... Xue Bingning was calm for a long time, and suddenly smiled. Therefore, among the sisters and sisters in Yinnan Mountain, one is counted as one, and all of them are livestock raised by others.

Xin Shansi looked at the ruler sword. Qi Jian was covered in sweat and hair stood on end when she saw it: "If there is something, you can command," he rubbed his arms, "don't stare like this, it's gloomy." ”

Then she asked: "You are very familiar with the business of Qinfeng Building, have you been there?" ”

"I've been there once, and I've been with the Lord."

Xin Shansi turned her head and faced Lishang. Li Shang looked at her like that, and couldn't help laughing: "I'll go and see if the woman who was lit with buds in Qinfeng Tower has been poisoned by red love?" ”

"The buds are peach-pink." Xin Shansi glared at him, "You continue to explain. ”

"Red love, also known as blazing love, seems to have been hit by a very powerful aphrodisiac when it attacks, blazing like fire, if it is not harmonized with yin and yang, it will dry up and die." Li Shang took off his daughter's small cloth shoes and used her little feet to scratch Shan Si's face: "The pink buds are blazing, and the color is not red, because of their practice." The cold air has faded away the blazing heat. ”

"I believe you." Xin Shansi grabbed the little fleshy feet for a long time and kissed them.

Xue Bingning hesitated and asked, "Is there an antidote to blazing feelings?" ”

Xin Shansi lowered her eyelashes and sighed secretly.

"Yes, but I don't deserve it." Li Shangdao: "Chiqing will be called a strange poison, not only because of its toxicity, but also because of its preparation. There are several flavors in it, the dosage is not fixed, and it can be appropriately more and less, which has little effect on toxicity. But if you want to prepare an antidote, you must come according to the amount of those flavors. If something is slightly wrong, not only can it not detoxify, but it will also aggravate the toxicity immediately. Ten breaths generate heat, and it doesn't take a hundred breaths of internal fire to burn people dry. ”

It's so domineering! Xue Bingliao swallowed: "What about not detoxifying?" ”

Feng Xiao replied: "Acacia is relieved, but generally does not live for thirty years." However, the women in Qinfeng Tower are different, their cold aura can suppress the blazing feelings, but it is difficult to say how long they can live. ”

Qi Jian was curious: "Do you have someone you want to save?" ”

Xue Bingning smiled stiffly, rolled up his left sleeve, and revealed the faint pink bud: "There are too many organs in Yinnan Mountain." In order to escape, I knocked out a nephew who was about to leave the mountain with a figure similar to me, covered her veil and hooded her. ”

A few people in the room looked at the delicate bud and didn't know what to say for a while. This girl also has a bad fate.

Xin Shansi can empathize with her the most, thinking that when she first wore it last year, the reverse flow of true qi was the knife hanging over her head. It's just that she is luckier than Xue Bingning, she found the master's relics and saved her troubles.

Putting down his sleeves, Xue Bingning took out a cloth towel and blew his nose: "It's okay." After my sister was sucked dry by the teacher, I had a hunch that I would end up in the same situation. There is not much difference between being burned to death or being sucked dry. At least I'm free at the moment. "Turn your head and listen carefully to the noise downstairs, and there is more life in my eyes." I want to go to Tangshan Village. ”

You're going to kill the old blind man, right? Xin Shansi suggested: "You better heal the injury first." ”

"I..." Xue Bingning's stomach gurgled and his face turned red suddenly.

By the way, the pedestrian said that Xue Bingning didn't have any money. Xin Shansi blinked and asked, "Do you want to learn how to play the hook?" If you play well, you can earn three cents for one. I have a fast hand, and if I'm fine, I can shoot thirty or forty a day. A meat bun, two pennies. ”

"That..."Xue Bingning was a little embarrassed, and his expression was straight: "What else do you want to know, I must know everything." ”

Li Shang smiled: "Can you draw where Yinnan Mountain is?" ”

After thinking for a while, Xue Bingning said: "Because it is a mountain that is secretly walked with his head and face covered, I don't know the specific location of Yuling Palace. But when I got out of the mountain, I could draw the route I had escaped. ”

That's enough, Li Shang motioned to the ruler sword to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, stretched out his hand to break Shansi, opened his mouth and said silently: "You can sell it to Meng Yao." ”

Chapter 44

"Yes, yes," Xin Shansi replied to him silently: "Recover what you lost before." ”

Xue Bingning drew a circle on the paper as a starting point, and then described the place he had walked: "Last night, as soon as I got on the road, I noticed something unusual, and there was no hidden place around, so I could only go up to the tree and hold my breath. A group of men in black came from the east and crossed the road to the northwest. I was afraid that they would turn back, so I stayed in the tree for a while, and by the way, I coagulated the few wounds that had been opened, and closed my eyes to recuperate, not wanting to wake up again... It's in your car. ”

"After you used the cold qi to condense the wound, didn't you feel any pain?" Feng Xiao asked.

She knew that she was careless, and Xue Bingning was ashamed.

Feng smiled sternly: "The cold qi can not only condense the wound, but also freeze your perception. When you're nervous, you don't notice anything. But as soon as you close your eyes and relax, it's easy to fall into drowsiness. This morning, thanks to the little ruler, if you are an hour or two late, even the gods will not be able to save you. ”

After drawing a paragraph, Xue Bingning put down the brush and bowed to the thin and tall man: "Thank you." He turned to Doctor Feng again, "Thank you for mentioning it, Bing Huan will definitely pay attention to it in the future." ”

was so solemn that the ruler sword was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched his head: "Usually my eyes are not very sharp, but today I will notice the blood line on the trunk of the tree, and you should not die." ”

Xin Shansi went to the basket in the inner room, took out the rattan basket that had been placed in the small bathtub for a long time, and took from it the bundle of thread and a few different kinds of wind.

After a while, Xue Bingning drew the picture and pushed it to Li Shang, who was standing opposite. Feng Xiao walked over, turned the map in a different direction, and the two of them studied it against the map.

"Come here." Xin Shansi beckoned to Xue Bingning, and pulled out a few strands of thread: "First teach you the simplest Ruyi button." After you see it, you can take the line back to your room and rest and ponder. ”

"Thank you." Xue Bingning approached, a little cramped, and three strands of thread were stuffed in her hand, which she held tightly. Staring at the weaving without blinking, my heart beats strongly. Is this how ordinary women live? A piece of yarn earns three cents, and a meat bun earns two cents. In just two sentences, it is just over 10 words, but it reveals a touching peace.

In order to let her see clearly, Xin Shansi was very slow and explained: "One more, tie a knot." In the same way, repeatedly, until the knot is about to change, the thread is crossed, and the tension is tightened..."A person who can memorize the map of the Great Mengdi in his mind and not forget the route when he escapes is clumsy, and it is easy to learn to tie the knots."

After reading it twice, Xue Bingning remembered the method: "Thank you." "She said so much thanks today, but every sentence came from the bottom of her heart.

Xin Shansi saw Feng Xiao picking up a pen and sketching on the paper, so she knew that they were looking for the location of Yinnan Mountain, and said to Xue Bingning: "The guy in the store will bring water in a while, and tell him what you want to eat." The accounts are hung in the room, so there is no need to worry. ”

"I... I will pay you back. This was a bit empty, and Xue Bingning blushed. She can't deliver on anything now.

Xin Shan Siwaner: "No. You're all wrapped up in that picture. Send her to the second room opposite, "Rest and think about whether you will go with us tomorrow, or stay here to recuperate?" ”

Xue Bingliao bowed deeply.

"Something screams." Xin Shansi exited the room and closed the door with her hand. Returned to his own room, hugged his daughter from Li Shang's arms, and looked down at the drawing of many lines.

Li Shang pointed to the small circle drawn by Xue Bingning: "Wild Fox Ridge in the west of Tanzhou." The place they were going to on this trip was also west of Tanzhou, only 50 or 60 miles away from Yehuling.

As soon as her mood plummeted, Xin Shansi stared at Xiao Yuan and ruled out the idea of building a tea house at the mouth of the lower river: "Then you don't have to go to Tanzhou." ”

"It's all here, we can go shopping and stay in the city for a few days." Li Shang took a long little hand: "I also look at the ground." ”

"Where do you look?" It's okay to go shopping, when she looked at the upper and lower Linjiangkou, she thought that it would be convenient to come and go to Tanzhou. Tanzhou, in the northwest, second only to Mengdu and Xiwang Mountain, I heard that next to the two main streets of east and west, north and south, small buildings of four or five stories can be seen everywhere, and they are very prosperous.

Li Shang turned his head: "Look at finding a secluded place to open a small medical hall." "Is it called Hechuntang or Jichuntang?

"Still opening a medical center?" Didn't he just take off the plaques of dozens of Baicaotang? Xin Shansi said she didn't understand.

"You don't have to go out to find business." And he knows it best.

There will be no shortage of business all year round. Xin Shan thought about it, there is no off-season and peak season in the hospital, only busy and busier. Holding a meat dumpling, she had a proposal: "Dr. Li, have you ever thought about teaching some female doctors who specialize in women and infants?" ”

Feng smiled and raised his eyes, the Lord had really thought about this after giving her birth.

Without waiting for Li Shang to respond, Xin Shansi said again: "Isn't there a stump that you took to the street last year?" Have you ever considered that some women who have a difficult birth can also have a caesarean section to keep them safe? ”

Sizzle... Feng Xiao twisted his eyebrows, Yan Xiaoniang's idea is very bold, but it is okay to scrape bones and heal wounds, why can't you give birth by caesarean section? It's nothing more than how to stop the pain, where to cut the belly, how to suture it after the abdomen, and how to avoid pus and ulceration at the incision?

Seeing Li Shang pondering, Xin Shansi hugged her daughter and turned around silently. She doesn't know how to heal, she only gives advice. In this era, unless a woman becomes a monk and serves the Buddha, she has to face marriage and childbirth. How many girls in the prime of life have died on the hurdle of childbirth? Countless.

Li Shang's medical skills are very good, and he can study it. It's best if there are results.

When the sun was about to set in the evening, Li Shang changed the diaper of the girl who woke up, called her mother who was practicing, and the family of three left the inn. The breeze is blowing, and although it is still a little hot, it is very comfortable to blow on the body. The jingling wind chimes are crisp and undisturbing.

"I'm going to make a little hat for Jiujiu tomorrow." Xin Shansi carried a rattan basket in her left hand, and helped her girl pull the hood of her cloak with her right hand to block the light that shone in. For a long time, he obediently stuck to his father's arms, smiling.

"Make one for yourself." Li Shang looked at his daughter-in-law with a good face, and several rough men walked by along the way, and looked back twice, as if he was dead.

Xin Shansi happily responded: "Okay." He put his arm around him and saw the pastry shop in front of him, "Let's go and have a look at that house." ”

"The mung bean cake you weighed last time was good." Li Shang called her out just to accompany her to the market.

"The mung bean cake is still a little sweet, and when we settle down, we buy beans and make them ourselves, so we don't have a little sugar." In two months, it's time to eat osmanthus again. Xin Shan has been gluttonous with osmanthus wine and bean curd for a long time, and there is a high probability that she will not be able to eat it this year. But next year... There must be a seller of liquor brewed bean curd in her tea house.

When he arrived at the door of the pastry shop, Li Jiujiu's mouth moved. Li Shang laughed when he saw it: "She smelled it." ”

This one uses milk as pastries, and the milk flavor is strong. After entering the shop, Xin Shansi let go of Li Shang.

"What do you want to do?" Behind the counter, a disc-faced woman with a cloth towel tied her head smiled: "We have jujube mud cakes, milk cakes, rice cakes, osmanthus cakes..." ”

"Is osmanthus cake sweet?" Still thinking about something, Xin Shansi leaned her nose and walked to a basket.

"I'll pinch some for you to try, buy it when it closes, and let's see something else if it doesn't fit."

"Okay."

The shopkeeper was not stingy, and shoveled half a piece of osmanthus cake for her with a small shovel. Xin Shansi took a small bite, and the thick fragrance of osmanthus spread in her mouth. The osmanthus in this house is sandwiched in the cake, not sprinkled with a layer of minced powder on the cake. After eating, I didn't feel sweet at first, but in the end, the sweetness appeared, but it was very sweet.

"You can taste it too."

Glancing at the pastry brought to his mouth, Li Shang opened his mouth. Xin Shansi stuffed it all in his mouth, and after a long time, he saw his little mouth deflated.

"Look at your daughter." Xin Shansi didn't know how to describe it, the little thing looked so aggrieved.

Li Shang lowered his head and chewed on her intentionally. After a long time, tears came down: "Woo woo wow..."

Haha laughed, Xin Shansi asked the store to weigh two catties of osmanthus cake for her, and the well-sold milk cake and jujube mud cake also came with two catties.

When I got out of the pastry shop, I was still crying after a long time. Her father can't even coax her.

There is a braised meat shop whose business is good, Xin Shansi bought a whole pig's head and asked the boss to dismantle her bones and cut everything. And he weighed a few strips and came four hooves. Listening to the boss, the kid came to the tavern to sell horse meat again, and the two went back again.

Just as the evening market was coming, the lobby of the tavern was full of diners, and the noise was heard far and wide. A middle-aged man with a beard in black skin stepped on the head of the bench, slurred the wine in his right hand, and smacked his lips: "I don't look down on Li Shang at all." It is people's ability to pick up Yan Qing, why can't I? ”
