Chapter 41: I Can't Die
Looking at the woman who seemed to have suddenly aged more than ten years, lying on the soft couch with a bloodless face and a shallow breath, Liu Jian couldn't say the joy and sorrow in his heart, but only sighed a little.
He didn't have much affection for Wang's mother, but Sister Sisi said that Wang's mother was good, and today she saved Diewu again.
At this time, when she was dying, many girls and old mothers gathered here, crying to see her off. Although I don't know how much hypocrisy this cry has, after all, someone really shed a few tears for this old bustard.
This woman must also have a legend that belongs to her, but Liu Jian doesn't know much about it, and is a little disturbed by the cries around her. Lao Langzhong sat on the edge of the soft couch to check the pulse of the old bustard, pinched his beard and sighed, shaking his head from time to time.
"No, my heart is messed up, and I can't be saved by relying on medicinal stones. ”
This sentence stirred up layers of waves, and the surrounding girls cried louder, and several old mothers and girls threw themselves on the soft couch and shouted.
"Old sister, you can't just go!"
"Mother Wang, open your eyes and look at Bilan!"
"Those stinky men who killed a thousand knives are all not going to die!"
"Don't make any noise!"
A group of people were crying and shouting, but they were frightened back by Liu Jian's low shout. Liu Jian walked in front of Lao Langzhong and arched his hand, and the latter willingly gave up his seat.
He sat down and looked around at the people around him, he was a little annoyed, but the cries of these people sounded too fake. "What are you crying about, Mother Wang hasn't breathed yet, she will definitely not live if you are arguing like this!"
"Grandpa Fei," Liu Jian turned to call to Lao Langzhong, "Mother Wang's illness, I don't know if it can be cured." Even if it can't be cured, it can continue to live. ”
Lao Langzhong is naturally an ordinary old man in the pharmacy who has been taking medicine for Feng Manlou for decades, but his knowledge is incomparable to that of everyone present combined.
"Although the medicine stone is weak, I have heard that there are people in the martial arts who practice the true qi of the inner family, and if they use the internal force to regulate breathing, they may be able to prolong her life for a few years. ”
"Is the inner family really angry?" Liu Jian groaned, and then his eyes lit up, and he shouted into the corner of the room. "Mother Luo, please take a trip, go upstairs in the front yard and invite the son in the Xiangge Pavilion, just say that Xiaochunzi owes him a favor and ask him to save a life. ”
"Hey," Mother Luo in the corner answered softly, wiped her tears, and ran outside quickly.
And Liu Jian reacted and asked, "Where is Miss Suisi?" ”
"Miss Suisi left just now, and you are on your front and back feet with Brother Chun. A little girl who had been in the same room with him spoke, but was glared back by the old mother on the side.
"Gone?" Liu Jian muttered twice, a little puzzled why Yi Si left, Sui Si and Wang's mother should have the closest relationship, why did they leave at this time?
Before I could figure it out, I heard a sound of footsteps outside, and several little girls walked in with their thoughts, followed by Diewu and Shu Ge.
Looking at the medicine box in Diewu's hand, Liu Jian suddenly understood what he had just done. I was still working here blindly, and I alerted my senior brother to come over, but I did useless work.
"You go out first. ”
Miss Suisi owed to the old man, and then said lightly, nearly half of the girls and the old mother withdrew, and the remaining seven or eight people, you look at me, I look at you, but they don't want to move.
Liu Jian let go of the round stool that was not yet hot, and collected the expressions of these girls and old mothers in the bottom of his heart, and he certainly had some plans in his heart.
"When my sister was practicing medicine, it was inconvenient for people to disturb her, if she couldn't save Wang's mother because of this, who of you would dare to bear this sin?"
His words still have some deterrent power, these women may not be afraid of a Qingyin, but the words of this turtle prince who has a high prestige in Fengmanlou have to be weighed. Therefore, he reluctantly retreated and looked at Riba outside the door.
"Go out too. The girl fiddled with the silver needle, blew Lan Tufang and said another word, making the only remaining old and young people in the room look at each other and smile bitterly.
"Grandpa Fei, let's go. ”
Liu Jian smiled apologetically, but Lao Langzhong had already put away his medicine box, Liu Jian grabbed the medicine box with his hand and put it on his back, and led the old man out of the door.
Approaching the door, he heard a whispered discussion outside, which made Liu Jian's heart feel a little more angry, and the internal breath of the forging jade trick rotated, so that this fire qi quickly disappeared.
"Hmph, will it cure the disease and say otherwise, but don't have any bad thoughts. ”
"That is, what kind of medical skills does a person who sings and plays the piano, but it is just to take advantage of more benefits, as for being so bothered. ”
"If we can't save Mother Wang, maybe we will have to put the basin on our heads. ”
"Shhh, Brother Chun is out. ”
Liu Jian snorted coldly when he went out, and his eyes swept across the faces of several gossiping girls, so that the sound at the door was suddenly cleared.
"Grandpa Fei, please. ”
Liu Jian led the old man to walk into the living room, and he didn't mean to thank the guest to let the old man go, and beckoned a few little girls to watch the tea, and then sat down with the old man on the circle chair next to the soft couch in the flower hall.
"Brother Chun," a nurse ran in sweating, "There are a few young masters who have entered the backyard, and Mother Wang is not in us, and I don't know where to go." ”
"Let's just say that Mother Wang is seriously ill and can't take care of her today," Liu Jian snorted, "They don't know which Oiran's attic yet, let them lead you there." Tell the brothers to take care of the courtyard, don't lose anything, and add two taels to each of the monthly money this month. ”
"Yes! I'll go and command. ”
The nurse happily answered, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and ran out again.
Liu Jian seems to have become the shopkeeper of Fengmanlou, but no one has officially recognized him as the shopkeeper, but he is supported here by relying on the identity of the turtle prince and his unchaotic bearing.
"Has that girl ever learned a good medical skill?" Lao Langzhong was actually still a little rude, stroking his gray beard and sighing, "Although a dead horse is a live horse doctor, the shopkeeper Wang can't breathe tonight." ”
"My sister was offended just now, she is such a personality, Grandpa Fei don't worry about her. ”
"I have heard of the poetry and piano of the girl who thinks about it, and I have heard it for a long time. "Lao Langzhong is naturally different from usual in Fengmanlou here, probably because of the nature of men, and he is much more elegant when he speaks.
The private relationship between the old and the young is also very good, after all, the old man also watched Liu Jian grow up, and Liu Jian went to him every once in a while......
Lao Langzhong sighed, "When the shopkeeper Wang was an oiran, I don't know how many people in this small Yuecheng spent a lot of money for her to laugh and smile, and even the generation of Jinling in Hangzhou, some people heard about it. At that time......"
The old man was quite emotional, and there was a trace of memory in his cloudy old eyes. Liu Jian listened with a light smile, listening to his mother's past back then, as well as the past when Fengmanlou developed from a small household to the first in Yuecheng today.
Almost every attic here has a unique past, either a hard-working woman or a distressed daughter.
When she didn't say much, Mother Luo led the handsome boy in, and the candlelight in the hall was bright, but it couldn't compare to the dazzling light of her senior brother. The big girls and little girls everywhere in the house secretly sent them off, and the white-clothed swordsman was chic and calm, and there was only Liu Jian who stood up to greet him in his eyes.
"Brother Zhang!" Liu Jian winked at Zhang Qing, who shook his head and smiled, and called 'Brother Chunxian'.
Liu Jian pursed the corners of his mouth, how do he feel that his name is a little awkward, Xiao Chunzi, Brother Chun, Brother Chunxian...... Can we change your name to Chun?
Mother Wang is really from an Oiran with both color and art, and such a deep name can only pop out of her mouth.
The two took a few steps closer and whispered a few words.
"Let you find two little girls to come over, and even arrange an old mother to scare me, don't you have intentions? ”
"I'll talk about this later, you sit down first and see if you can save Mother Wang," Liu Jian whispered in a low voice, "Mother Wang saved Diewu once today, and I should also exchange her kindness." ”
"Well, where is the butterfly dance? ”
"Be prepared to meet or talk. ”
Without Liu Jian to greet him, as soon as Zhang Qing sat down on the side, two little girls took the initiative to bring tea and fruit plates. Zhang Qing smiled and thanked him a few times, causing the two little girls to blush, and ran out with a tray of cigarettes.
"Division...... Brother Xian, didn't you call me over in such a hurry, didn't you let me save that old bustard's life?"
"Not for now, one of my sisters is healing. "Liu Jian is really a little uncertain about the medical skills of casual thinking," Brother Zhang waited first. ”
Zhang Qing waved his hand and said: "I'm still good at killing people, but I can only say that I don't know anything about the medical skills of treating diseases and saving people." ”
"Sister Suisi should be cured," Liu Jian laughed a few times, and just as he didn't know how to continue, he heard some words from the side, and the door in Wang's mother's room was opened by Suisi.
"Old gentleman, please come in and take a look, you can't make a noise, I quarrel with Mother Wang for you!"
Lao Langzhong trotted over with the medicine box, and Liu Jian was just about to lean over to take a look, but was pulled aside by Zhang Qing.
"Who is this girl?"
"This is a casual girl, a Qingyin who sells her art but not her body," Liu Jian looked at his senior brother with an admiring expression, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of taste in his heart, and deliberately made the show heavier.
Zhang Qing frowned and shook the paper fan gently, "Think, think...... Good name. ”
Liu Jian rolled his eyes, no longer bothered with the intoxicated senior brother, walked to the door and walked straight in.
"It's strange, the shopkeeper Wang's heart is weak but he doesn't have that adversity, and the girl is really good at it. ”
"It's just some ancestral medical skills, not enough to worry about. As he said this, the old man didn't ask anything more. Medical skills and martial arts are all about inheritance, and you can't just ask about it.
Liu Jian leaned over and looked at Wang's mother, who was still pale, and didn't know what the two of them had done. However, looking at the silver needles inserted all over Wang's mother's body, Liu Jian recited a few words of Amitabha Buddha in his heart.
This old bustard is really fateful.
