It's night.

The candle flame flickered, Xu Ling sat on the wooden chair with his arms folded, his head little by little, and fell asleep like this.

A cough suddenly woke him up, and he opened his eyes in a trance, looked around, and found that he was still in the medicine hall.

Fan Shiqing, who was lying on the bed, also woke up.

He opened his eyes weakly and couldn't stop coughing, Xu Ling stepped forward to help him sit up and help him run his back.

"Old man, how did you become a beggar?"

Xu Ling poked Fan Shiqing's heart with a mouth.

The medicine boy not far away nested in another small bed, and when he heard the movement, he just turned over, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt and smacked his lips and continued to sleep.

Fan Shiqing grinned silently: "Boy, I thought you didn't dare to come back." ”

Xu Ling chuckled, asked him to lie down, poured him a cup of hot water, and helped him drink it.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Xu Ling was put on death row is pure unluck, the government did not seriously investigate the case, and secondly, few people have seen Xu Ling, his affairs are not famous in the city, the scalding man made a big fuss, died a magistrate, robbed the ship of the Lin family and the Wei family, which thing is not more important than Xu Ling's matter?

After Xu Ling figured it out, he was not afraid. He has never killed anyone, and he is not afraid of shadows.

Fan Shiqing smiled with a gloomy look.

Xu Ling asked him, "I didn't see you when I came out that day, and you went home?" ”

"I'm long gone."

"I'm just going to take a look." Fan Shiqing muttered.

"So what are you going to do in the future?"

There was an autumn wind outside the window, and the wooden window slammed, and the cold wind came in through the cracks, which made Fan Shiqing shiver.

He looked out the window at the dark night.

"Boy, what are you doing to save me? I should have gone down a long time ago. ”

It's a pity that he has a hard life, and he has been on death row for so many years, and he has never been able to die.

Xu Ling rolled his eyes, "Dead, what's the good of dying?" If I don't save you, you die on the street without even a body for you. ”

"Old man, do you know how much it cost me to see you?" Xu Ling's face was painful.

This black-hearted doctor's medical skills are really good, but the fee is really high!

It's eight taels of silver!! Eight taels!

Xu Ling almost wanted to leave Fan Shiqing here and run by himself.

The doctor of Yongchun Hall is named Chai Yanjun, and it is said that his medical skills are among the best in Lingbao Town.

Xu Ling saw with his own eyes that he rescued Fan Shiqing, who was dying.

Most of these eight taels were used to buy the Four Immortals Soup, Chai Yanjun saw that Xu Ling wanted to run, so he broke his own medicinal soup for him, and it was all genuine good medicine.

What ginseng, ephedra, astragalus......

It is best used to prolong life and protect oneself.

Xu Ling didn't have enough money, so he had to put his purse and Fan Shiqing in the medicine hall, and then went to the tooth store to find someone, and first put the double-sided Jinpa in the cloth village to consignment, so that he could get the money for the medicine before dark.

Otherwise, Fan Shiqing, the old man, would be thrown out of bed by Chai Yanjun.

If it weren't for Fan Shiqing today, Xu Ling would give him some food and drink at most, so that people wouldn't die in front of him.

Since it is Fan Shiqing, the two of them have had the experience of life and death together, and now they have spent eight taels of silver to save his life, so why do you want him to earn back this money!

Fan Shiqing was looked at by Xu Ling's eyes, and he only felt a little creepy.

"Old man... The old man has no money to pay you back! ”

"No money? If you don't have any money, you can pay off your debts. ”

Xu Ling adhered to the principle of making the best use of people and reasoned with Fan Shiqing.

"Old man, you see that you used to be a showman, and after studying hard for so many years, can you still starve to death?"

Fan Shiqing's eyes were a little gloomy, "If the old man is really capable, he won't be just a showman." ”

"You also know that I have twin brothers and sisters at home, who are very smart, and it is always feasible for you to go to my house and teach them to read and write, right?"

Fan Shiqing shook his head: "The old man has no ability, but I'm afraid that he will mislead people's children." ”

This dead old man is really bent on death, and he can't get in oil and salt!

Xu Ling was silent, silently got up and opened the door and went out, found the kitchen of the medicine hall, and after a while, a burst of fragrance came to his nose, causing Fan Shiqing on the bed to swallow his saliva.

Xu Ling doesn't have much cooking skills, but he can heat it!

The specialty snacks bought from Quanzhou will not be bad if you put the space. Xu Ling chopped the salted duck into small pieces, boiled it in a clay pot, picked the cabbage in the space and put it in, and finally sprinkled it with chopped green onions.

When he returned to the house, even the sleeping medicine boy was woken up by Xiang, rubbing his sleepy eyes and asking, "What are you eating?" It smells so good. ”

As for Fan Shiqing, he can't speak anymore. Like a dog that can't speak, he hasn't eaten a good meal in eight hundred years, and when he finally sees something delicious, he doesn't need to speak to express it, and the hara and the longing in his eyes let him see it at a glance.

"I borrowed your master's medicine pot to cook some rice, and you can eat some too?"

After saying to the medicine boy, he scooped a bowl of soup and approached Fan Shiqing.

Fan Shiqing's neck was about to stretch into a swan.

Xu Ling leisurely crossed Erlang's legs and blew the clear soup in the white porcelain spoon.

"Boy, give me a taste." Fan Shiqing humbly prayed.

Xu Ling glanced at him, "Don't you want to live anymore?" ”

"Eat this and die!"

Xu Ling didn't answer.

Fan Shiqing is hungry, the Four Immortal Soup can continue his life, but it can't fill his stomach.

He hasn't eaten well in seventeen years!

The prisoners on death row eat swill, and before they die, they will have two steamed buns as a severed head meal, and on the night he escaped from death row, Xu Ling found a table of wine and food bought by the jailer, and finally filled his stomach with a desire for meat.

It's a pity that he couldn't save those good things, and after he quietly left, he was so discharged in the middle of the night that his knees and feet became weak, and he became a dying beggar on the street.

"You ......" Fan Shiqing had a dry throat, he knew that Xu Ling was forcing him, but he hadn't pinched a pen for seventeen years, hadn't read a book, he was a loser on the road to the imperial examination, and he was a complete failure, how could he be worthy of Xu Ling's life-saving grace, and teach his younger brothers and sisters with a shy face?

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind.

The medicine boy pulled his shoes and got out of bed, hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a bowl, happily came to serve the soup and drank, pinched the duck meat and gnawed it, he ate it so deliciously that Fan Shiqing was so hungry that he wanted to die.

"The old man promises you!! Teach your brother to read, hurry up, give me the bowl! Fan Shiqing was afraid that the medicine boy would finish eating, so he hurriedly softened.

Xu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Handing the bowl to the old man, "You eat slowly, there's a lot more." ”

Fan Shiqing sat cross-legged, not seeing that he was about to die during the day, so he hurriedly drank two bowls of soup to pad his stomach, and then asked Xu Ling to fish for him.

After eating the cabbage, the old man of the five organs was not so hungry, and he felt that he didn't have any desire to squirt, so he asked Xu Ling to bring him the warm jar and give him all to eat.

Xu Ling: "......"

The medicine boy licked his lips with a little pity, and at the end, he reminded Xu Lingdao: "This jar and bowl are filled with medicine, and when my master sees it tomorrow, he will definitely ask you to lose money." ”

After speaking, Shi Shiran went back to bed and continued to sleep.
