Chapter 29: Typhoid Fever
In the middle of the room, there is a large square table, the mahogany is painted with lacquer, and the four stools are placed on all sides, and the mahogany lacquer that also matches the table is very exquisite. The kitchen was in the side room, and there was an old woman and a handsome woman who were busy making breakfast, and Wang Rong let Lu Yunli sit down next to the table. Seeing that breakfast was not good, he said to Lu Yunli: "I'm afraid you had a cold last night, eat some breakfast, and I'll send someone to the street to get some medicine for you and come back." ”
Lu Yunli already felt that he couldn't support it at all at this time, so he just said words of thanks. Came up early, white rice porridge, pancakes, and three kinds of pickles. After finishing the food, the woman retreated again, Lu Yunli saw the woman's appearance, and vaguely remembered that it was the woman who was with Wang Rong in the teahouse many days ago.
Wang Rong saw that Lu Yunli was already very hungry, so he said, "You're welcome, it's like your own home here, let's eat quickly." Saying that, Wang Rong picked up a piece of pancake and ate it first.
Lu Yunli was not polite, he also picked up a piece of pancake and took a big bite. Regardless of whether it was hot or not, I drank a big mouthful of porridge. Pick up the chopsticks and fill them in your mouth, regardless of how many you want. Wang Rong slowly ate the pancakes, looking at Lu Yunli's gobbling up, completely lacking the arrogance of planning everything when he saw him for the first time. Fortunately, Wang Rong is not a person who forgets his righteousness, after all, he received the favor of Lu Yunli before, said good things about himself many times in front of King Beiling, and arranged himself to receive the affairs of the deputy general Yuntao. I am still very grateful to Lu Yunli in my heart.
looked at the Zhengxiang that Lu Yunli was eating, and didn't interrupt him, and shouted: "Mom Zhang, you go to Tianhetang to invite Boss Liu, say that I have a cold, and tell him to come quickly." ”
Your old woman agreed, put down her work, and walked out quickly.
Lu Yunli never looked up, and was still eating heavily, because he was so hungry. knew that if he wanted to get out of the city, he had to rely on Wang Rong. At first, I ate quickly, slowly full, and then slower and slower, and finally put down the dishes and chopsticks. But I still feel pain and weakness all over my body.
glanced at Wang Rong and said, "I don't know how to thank you." ”
Wang Rong said: "Thank you or not, you and I have always been commensurate with brothers, and you have helped me say good things in front of the King of Beiling in the palace, I know all this, and now this little favor is nothing." ”
Lu Yunli saw that Wang Rong said this, so he didn't say much.
After a while, the old woman entered, followed by a man in his thirties with a medicine box, dressed in cloth and with a bun on his head. Seeing Wang Rong sitting in the room, he ran quickly to Wang Rong, stopped five steps away, looked at Wang Rong, and said loudly: "You didn't have a cold, what did you ask me to do." ”
This move surprised Lu Yunli a little.
Wang Rong laughed and said, "I said that I was sick because I asked you to come quickly, come and show my brother, he doesn't know if he is infected with the wind and cold, and he is weak." ”
Doctor Liu snorted a little dissatisfied, stepped forward a few steps, sat beside Lu Yunli, looked at his face first, and reached out to probe the temperature of Lu Yunli's forehead.
Dr. Liu put down the medicine box, didn't say a word, and walked out quickly.
Lu Yunli felt that this person was straightforward and refreshing, and he had a good impression of him. Seeing this person walk out of the door quickly, he turned his head and asked Wang Rong: "This person must be a friend you have known for many years." ”
Wang Rong smiled: "This person's name is Liu Qing, and we have known each other for more than 20 years. This was not unexpected.
Wang Rong continued: "At that time, I was seven years old, in a private school, I often saw Liu Qing being bullied by others alone, I couldn't see it, since I was a child, I still felt that I was chivalrous and righteous, watching so many people bully one, how could they be bullied, so I stepped forward to help him." As a result, the two of us were beaten by a group of people for a long time, and the private school gentleman came to reprimand us. ”
Lu Yunli felt a sharp pain in his throat, but did not speak, but nodded.
Wang Rong continued: "Later, I learned that the reason why this person was beaten was that his classmates laughed at his shabby clothes, and then rebelled angrily. Because the private school I attended was the best in the whole of Bingma County, and it was actually the son of some officials and wealthy businessmen, and his family was also wealthy, and he paid three years of tuition. But the family fell into the middle of the road, so it became like this. Later, my father was promoted to lieutenant, and the two of us grew older, and no one dared to provoke us in the private school. Wang Rong said his youthful deeds, and couldn't help but show nostalgia for that good time.
While the two were talking, Liu Qing walked in quickly, carrying six packets of medicine in his hand, took out the small pot of boiling medicine in the box, and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine alone.
Wang Rong hurriedly said: "Brother Lu, don't be surprised, this person is like this, if he does something, he will devote himself wholeheartedly and try not to let irrelevant things disturb him." ”
Brother Lu was busy saying in that hoarse voice that would hurt a lot: "It's too late to thank you, how can you be strange." ”
Wang Rong: "You live here with me first, this yard is small, it is my outer room outside, there is a grocery room next to the kitchen, you live there first after cleaning it up, now it's a little messy outside, don't dislike it, live first." Then he told the old woman to clean up the utility room by the kitchen. The lady agreed.
Lu Yun was grateful, and wanted to say too many words of thanks, but he only said: "Thank you." At this time, Lu Yun was still worried about the situation of Hua Feihua and Yiyan, but his body like himself couldn't help much, so he could only recuperate here for a few days and go out to find them.
The old woman's hands and feet were very nimble, and after a while, the utility room had been cleaned up, and Lu Yunli went to look. The room is not big, there is a single bedboard bed in the room, a futon on top, and there are pots and benches and other miscellaneous items piled up in the corner. After looking at the room, I went to see Liu Qing again, Liu Qing was boiling medicine, and when he saw Lu Yun leaving, he didn't speak, he just concentrated on decocting the medicine.
At this time, Wang Rong stood at the gate and said loudly to the two people: "I want to go to the barracks to deal with affairs, one step ahead." Then he walked out of the gate.
Lu Yunli saw that Liu Qing didn't speak, and he didn't care, he only said: "Thank you Boss Liu for rescuing me this time, and I thank you here under Lu Yunli." He bowed deeply.
This move made Liu Qing a little flustered, after all, the person in front of him was not like an ordinary layman. He is just a flat-headed person who runs a medical hall, how can he accept such a big gift, and quickly got up and returned the salute. said: "Brother Lu is polite, this little wind chill is wrapped around me." ”
Letting Lu Yunli go to the utility room, he rested first, and after a while, a bowl of black soup was served. Lu Yunli tested the temperature, and it was slightly hot. Liu Qing said on the side: "Just drink it like this, sweat, it's fine." ”
Lu Yunli drank the bowl of medicine one by one, and suddenly felt a fever all over his body, Liu Qing hurriedly covered the quilt and sweated inside. Seeing that Lu Yunli did so, he went out with peace of mind, and said before leaving: "I'll come back in the afternoon, two doses of medicine will be fine." With that, he turned and left.
At this time, Lu Yunli wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and the sweat all over his body was already soaking through his clothes. Maybe I was too tired to fall asleep in this warm quilt.
Unconsciously saw Wang Rong rushing into the palace with a large group of soldiers, only to see Wang Rong pointing in his direction and saying loudly: "Whoever you are, capture a hundred taels of silver alive." I saw this group of soldiers swarming over, looking at Wang Rong's distorted and hideous face, and also rushing over here with spears. No matter how much he struggled, he was powerless to resist.
Suddenly, Lu Yunli woke up from his sleep, his clothes were already soaked, and his head was covered with sweat as if he had just come out of the water. After looking around, there was nothing unusual. It's sunny outside, it's a good day, and you can't tell what time it is.
When I got up, I felt that my body was much lighter, and my throat did not have such a dry and chapped pain, and the typhoid fever was more than half better. Fortunately, I still have a set of clothes for the baggage, so I can take it out and change it. I still have a lot of worries about the dream just now, and at this time, I also feel that my body is half better, and my physical strength has basically recovered, so I decided to leave here.
Wrapping the changed clothes, Mo Xin and the ring knife are still there, and gently looked at the door, observing that there is no movement outside, the door of the main room is closed, and the old woman doesn't know where she is. Tiptoe up to the roof and look down, there are indeed countless soldiers patrolling the streets outside. After counting the days, the news of the death of the Son of Heaven in Jincheng should not have reached Jincheng, so many soldiers blocked Bingma County, did they want to spread the news outside. But such an abnormal lockdown of the city does not make the enemy more suspicious.
Seeing so many soldiers on the street, wouldn't it be easy for him to be discovered if he went out. So he jumped off and quietly returned to the room, thinking about it for a long time, and felt that it was safer to leave at night. At this time, someone patted on the door and shouted outside the door, Lu Yunli heard the voice It was Liu Qing, who had seen himself in the morning, and looked through the crack in the door, the old woman came out of nowhere, and quickly opened the door.
Liu Qing thanked the old woman and walked straight to the utility room where Hua Feihua lived. Lu Yunli didn't wait for him to walk in, he opened the door directly to greet him, his throat was not so painful at this time, seeing that Liu Qing was still carrying the big medicine box, running with sweat, knowing that he was in a hurry to come over, he was a little reluctant to go, and hurriedly took the medicine box and said, "Brother Liu is really grateful for my illness." ”
Liu Qing just whispered: "I'll go boil the medicine, and leave as soon as possible after drinking this medicine." After speaking, he began to boil the medicine.
Lu Yunli heard that there was something in this, Wang Rong hadn't come back at this time, could it be that something had happened? He sat down close to Liu Qing and asked, "When will Captain Wang come back?"
Liu Qing let out a long sigh and didn't speak, this admiration made Lu Yun have a bad premonition. Hurriedly asked: "Isn't something happened to Wang Rong?"
