Chapter 56 Wine meets confidants

The same is true on this day, Zhong Zixuan dug out a jar of daughter red that his father had buried, and said with a smile: "This is what my father buried when my mother conceived me, saying that he would wait for the day of his daughter's marriage and then take it out for a banquet, but he gave birth to a son." Alas, the two elders both died young, and they didn't add another sister to me, so it seems that they will never need it. Now, my two brothers have settled it. ”

Lin Fengsheng said with a smile: "Brother Zhong is so hospitable, the younger brother is really flattered. If you can't wait for your sister to come out of the cabinet, it's not too late to wait for Brother Zhong's wedding. Wouldn't it be a pity if such a fine wine was swallowed up by the two of us?"

Zhong Zixuan slapped open the mud seal, the fragrance of wine overflowed, and poured a bowl for Lin Fengsheng, Ha Luha smiled: "Oh, where did the brother say it, this matter is very slim, and I don't know what year and month it will be, so don't mention it." ”

He coughed pretendedly, and said: "Shixian Li Bai Shiyun: 'Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon', that is, life must be happy in time, when you are proud, and even more so when you are unhappy." ”

As he spoke, he poured a bowl himself, raised his hands and said, "Come on, come on, our two brothers will do this bowl first." ”

Lin Fengsheng was very excited, picked up the bowl and shouted, "Brother Zhong said it well, it's done!"

The two of them touched the wine bowl, drank it all, and praised: "Good wine!" looked at each other and smiled, and sat down.

Zhong Zixuan poured wine and asked, "The thief who robbed the grain has not been heard from so far, I don't know what my brother's plans are?"

Lin Fengsheng muttered: "Alas, this matter is really tricky. Before the food is recovered, there is absolutely no way to start a war with Zhang Stammering. At present, the only way to go to Ailao Mountain is to investigate the details of the thieves. ”

Zhong Zixuan was also silent for a moment, gently pushed the bowl full of wine in front of Lin Fengsheng, and said: "Don't be too anxious, there is a way to get to the mountain before the car arrives, and it is not too late to make plans when the team arrives." If you go to Ailao Mountain, once something happens here, there will be no one in charge. ”

Lin Fengsheng nodded and said, "What Brother Zhong said is also reasonable, then I'll wait a little longer, the heroes of the righteous army should be almost there." Let's not talk about that, let's have a drink. He raised his bowl in respect.

Zhong Zixuan knew that this matter had not yet been investigated, and saying more would only increase his troubles, so he didn't say more, but just persuaded him to drink.

Zhong Zixuan used the medicine for two days, and the old woman's strong wind disease has been alleviated, and after repeated comforts from the women, the pain of losing her daughter has gradually been suppressed, and her mood has calmed down a lot. Her real surname is Yu, and everyone calls her Yu Po.

The two were drinking by themselves, and Yu Po came out to salute and said: "Thank you for the care of the divine doctor here, the old body feels that most of his body is better, and he wants to take a look at the place where the little girl's bones are buried, I don't know if it's okay?"

Zhong Zixuan said: "This disease is stubborn and abnormal, and the medication should not be interrupted for a day, so let's wait until you are well before going." Let love be buried in the earth, and there is no need to worry about it. ”

Yu Po respects Zhong Zixuan like a god, and there is nothing wrong with hearing him say this, and she is grateful to Zhong Zixuan at the moment, and she goes back to the room after basking in the sun in the courtyard for a while.

Lin Fengsheng looked at Yu Po's emaciated back and asked, "Brother Zhong, I don't know how long it will take for Yu Po's illness to be cured?"

Zhong Zixuan groaned: "It's hard to say, it's as short as one and a half years, and as long as ten or eight years." Although this disease is also contagious, it is not as severe as the plague, so I have only seen two or three cases so far, and it took three years to cure the case of Lu. ”

Lin Fengsheng was curious again: "Is this disease really so terrible, how can people in the world see patients as if they have encountered a flood beast?"

Zhong Zixuan smiled slightly and said: "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" cloud: 'The boiled person, when the camp qi is hot, its qi is not refined, so its nose column is bad and the color is corrupted, and the skin is ulcerated. "Su Wen: The Treatise on Long Thorn Joints" Yiyun: "Sick and windy, heavy bones, eyebrows and beards. In other words, when you have this disease, your eyebrows will fall out, your nose will collapse, and your face and skin will fester. The pain is unbearable for everyone, and because it is contagious, people are of course terribly afraid. ”

Lin Fengsheng looked stunned when he heard this, nodded silently, and said: "Fortunately, Yu Po can think about it, if it is an ordinary person, even if he does not commit suicide, he is afraid that he will give up on himself, and it will be a big trouble to treat him." ”

Zhong Zixuan nodded and said: "Yes, the reason why I saved Yu Po is also because of this, although she also had the act of seeking death, but at that time, out of pain, the death of her beloved daughter was not because she had a bad disease and was disgusted with the world." If you give up on yourself and refuse to cooperate, even if the practitioner's medical skills are a hundred times better, it will be in vain. Sun Gong, the king of medicine, once said, 'Even if there is no need for treatment, there will eventually be damage, and the disease will not be cured, but it will be hard work and useless', so I follow this rule for patients who suffer from this disease. ”

After a pause, he said: "Those who get this disease in Qin Law are guilty, and they are usually killed or buried alive. Although there is no such article in the laws of our Dali Kingdom, they will still be spurned by the world, and even those who love and dearest will ignore them. I'm afraid that life is better than death. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "Yes, it is indeed miserable enough. It is rumored that Lu Zhaolin, one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, was originally a talented man, but later because of the strong wind, he was lonely and sick in Longmen Mountain, and wrote "Sick Pear Tree Fu", which described his pain and misfortune, and later committed suicide in the river and died of depression. ”

Zhong Zixuan looked up at the sky and said word by word: "This disease is really a scourge to the world, and I will do my best to eliminate this disease." I'm going to build a Wind Workshop where all the patients with this disease will be treated together, what do you think?"

Lin Fengsheng said: "Brother Zhong is really a bodhisattva, and his merits are immeasurable, which can be described as the gospel of patients with severe winds. Such a benevolent and righteous act, the younger brother should follow the work of dogs and horses, so it is better for this strong wind workshop to be funded by the younger brother. Looking at Zhong Zixuan, his face was full of sincerity.

Zhong Zi hurriedly said: "By all means, you are running for military affairs, which is a hundred times more important than this trivial measure of Brother Yu, and there are so many heroes and heroes under your command, everyone needs to open their mouths to eat, how can they ask for your money." He waved his hand again and again.

Lin Fengsheng said: "Brother Zhong is too outside, the younger brother's family has a lot of savings, and this silver is spent from his own pocket, and he will never use a penny of the imperial court's salary." ”

Zhong Zixuan smiled and said: "Brother, I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, and the foolish brother didn't mean that." My ancestors practiced medicine for generations, and my ancestors all worked as imperial doctors, and they also had quite a family business, so it was not a problem to build a strong wind workshop, so my brother didn't have to worry about it. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "That is the case, if Brother Zhong encounters any difficulties during this period, even if he informs the younger brother, as long as the younger brother does his best, he should help him." ”

Zhong Zixuan smiled and nodded, and suddenly asked again, "Brother, do you know how to catch snakes?"

Lin Fengsheng was stunned, shook his head and said, "I haven't tried it, is Brother Zhong referring to the poisonous snake?"

Zhong Zixuan said: "Poisonous snakes and pythons are all indispensable, and the ancient recipe records that this is a good medicine for the treatment of severe wind and evil diseases." Python meat can be cooked directly, and poisonous snakes can be brewed into medicinal wine to drink. I'm going to catch some snakes and keep them in case I need them. ”

Lin Fengsheng said: "The little brother of catching snakes is not good, but I have a fellow junior sister who is an expert in this way. She'll be there in a day or two, and I'll ask her to help then. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had drunk a jar of wine to the point where there was no left of it. Zhong Zixuan heard that there was a snake catcher under Lin Fengsheng's command, and he was overjoyed, and immediately hugged a jar of aged wine, and the two drank again.

At this time, the girls came back from outside, and Mei Ruoxue ran over happily and said, "Cousin, good news, our team has arrived." ”

Lin Fengsheng was refreshed when he heard this, and said with great joy: "Yes, where are the heroes now, have they already entered the city?" After speaking, his face was a little gloomy, and he was naturally worried about food.

Mei Ruoxue said: "They haven't entered the city yet, and they are waiting for your order outside the city at this time." ”

Lin Fengsheng said to Zhong Zixuan: "Brother Zhong, junior brother will introduce you to some heroes on the rivers and lakes. ”

Zhong Zixuan has been living in a corner all the year round, his personality is quite introverted, and he was originally reluctant to deal with the living, but the rebels are full of heroes and heroes who have benefited the people of Weichu and the bandits, so he is a different matter, and said happily: "Okay, let's go and meet the heroes of the rebels." ”

At that moment, a few people left the cottage and walked straight out of the city along the small path.

I saw that the crowds outside the city were crowded, the big flag was fluttering, and one of the big flags was embroidered with a huge "forest" word in black on a yellow background, waving in the wind, and hunting sounded. The heroes of the rebels sat on the ground in twos and threes, talking to each other, and hearty laughter could be heard everywhere. The 3,000 pro-army took one side alone. The pro-army armor is distinct, and the heroes are still dressed in rivers and lakes, and they are clearly distinguished from a distance.

Everyone stood up together when they saw Lin Fengsheng coming, and the heroes of all factions flocked over, and the cries of "alliance leader and alliance leader" rang out, and Lin Fengsheng bowed his hand all the way, saying good words of comfort.

Miaole, Guo Xian'er and other leaders came to see each other together, and they were all overjoyed. After a while, Gao Zhicheng also came over to see, and the compliments continued unabated, but it was inevitable that he was a little insincere.
