Chapter 661: Poppy paste Just
as the little fat girl was shaking her pigtails and looking around in surprise,
she saw an old man with a white beard running out with a pot of soup!
Doctor Wu was holding a rice spoon under his armpit and two herbal leaves on his face. He was shouting all over the village.
"It's so hot, don't get a heat stroke!"
"Everyone take a break. I just made a soup with patchouli and mung beans. Come and have a bowl!"
Little Nuobao almost screamed.
It turned out to be Grandpa Wu!
The luck actually came from Grandpa Wu! !
She was so excited that her little feet stomped a few times. She was so happy.
Doctor Wu ran over and touched her head with a smile, "Why did our dear darling stamp her feet? Don't worry, Grandpa Wu will serve you a bowl first, full of it, and then add a big spoonful of honey!"
The little fat girl's face was red, and she really wanted to tell him quickly!
But she was afraid that if she revealed too much, it would affect Grandpa Wu, so she had to pour mung bean soup into her mouth, which blocked her mouth.
Doctor Wu was surprised and thought she loved to drink this.
So he quickly filled another small bucket and asked her to take it home and let the whole family share it.
On the way back, Xiao Nuobao was so curious that she scratched her ears and cheeks.
Good luck is a good sign that usually comes when people are in their prime, when they are at their most energetic.
But how could Grandpa Wu suddenly have such good luck at such an old age? Could it be that he encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Xiao Nuobao suppressed his excitement and waited after returning home to see what gift God would give Grandpa Wu!
However, before Xiao Pangya received the good news, she received Xiao Wu's "news".
That day, early in the morning, the cicadas on the tree began to "play, play and sing", marking the beginning of a new day.
Jiang Fengnian was wearing a long shawl made of Xiangyun yarn, with his sleeves rolled up twice, looking cool, and was about to go to the Charity Bureau.
But when the door opened, he saw Xiao Wu squatting on the ground.
"Xiao Wu, why are you here? Isn't the workshop already open at this hour?" Fengnian was a little surprised.
Xiao Wu stood up and looked inside. "Master, are you all up? I have something to report to the little princess."
Jiang Fengnian nodded and asked the servant to take him in.
At this moment, the little fat girl had just finished half a plate of steamed buns and left the table with a bulging belly.
"Xiao Wu?"
After hearing the voice, she ran to the side hall with her bare white feet and said, "You came here so early in the morning, but what happened in the manor?"
Although Xiao Wu was anxious, he did not forget to pay his respects first, "Princess, the guards you invited back, the Hu brothers have something to do!"
Xiao Nuobao sat on the chair and asked with wide eyes, "Are you talking about Hu Daoba and the others? What happened to the five brothers? Didn't they guard the manor well?"
Xiao Wu subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Princess, didn't you tell me to keep an eye on them before?"
"They were fine these days, but this morning, Hu Daoba and Hu Laoer went out for a while. When they came back, they carried a straw mat. I took a closer look and it seemed that there was a person wrapped in the straw mat!" Xiao Wu's tone became anxious.
Xiao Nuobao rubbed her soft chin and narrowed her eyes. Did
Hu Daoba bring someone back?
She had a hunch that the person was probably related to their search for the miracle doctor.
At this time, Xiao Wu was pacing in the room, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, "Whose good person must be put in the straw mat? Oh my God, Princess! Could it be that they went to rob the women and brought back the young lady?"
Before Xiao Nuobao could say anything, Xiao Wu had all kinds of ideas in his mind.
"Oh no, oh no, didn't we attract bad guys to our farm?"
"Oh, then I have to go back quickly, my brother is pretty and handsome, what if they don't vent their anger enough and then target my brother? My brother hasn't married yet, he can't lose his virginity!"
Xiao Wu's mouth was like jumping beans, and his face turned pale with fear.
Xiao Nuobao was amused by his train of thought, and he chuckled, and his stomach, which had just been full, was about to cramp from laughing. What
on earth is Xiao Wu thinking about?
"Don't scare yourself, things may not be what you think. Come with me to the farm, and we'll ask then." Xiao Nuobao waved his little hands and smiled.
So, after changing into their travel clothes and calling Feng, the three of them got on a carriage and set off for the manor.
Xiao Wu was almost eighteen years old, and this was his first time riding in a carriage.
Along the way, he was so curious, his eyes sparkling, and he kept looking at the street scene, and he had long forgotten his worries about his brother "losing his virginity".
When they arrived at the manor, Xiao Nuobao was about to look for Scarface.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Hu Daoba came out of Doctor Wu's courtyard, and he told her the truth as soon as he saw her.
"Princess, you're here just in time. I have something to ask you."
Hu Daoba said seriously, "Actually, I'll tell you the truth, we are six brothers, and our sixth brother is seriously ill. The reason we came to the manor is to ask the miracle doctor to help cure his illness."
"This morning, my sixth brother couldn't get out of bed. When we went to see him, we couldn't bear to see him alone in the inn, so we brought him here. I wonder if you are willing to let him stay in the manor and be raised by him."
Sixth brother?
Xiao Wu was shocked and said, "What did you say? The person rolled up in the straw mat was your brother. I thought it was..."
Hu Daoba frowned, unable to bear his yelling, "What did you think? Could it be that you thought we abducted him? Humph, although we brothers have done bad things in the past, we have never done such a thing as robbing a woman!"
In fact, a few days ago, he was still cautious and did not dare to bring his seriously ill brother back.
But after spending a few days together, he saw how easy-going and friendly the people in the village were, so he put aside his worries and planned to bring his sixth brother back to recuperate.
Xiao Wu stuck out his tongue and ran away quickly, fearing that if he said a few more words, Hu Daoba would not be able to help but want to beat him.
Xiao Nuobao smiled when he saw this .
Of course she agreed, and was even very happy.
After all, whether this brother can be cured may be the key to whether the Hu brothers will be loyal to her and become the sharp knife in her hand!
"That's no problem, let him stay in the manor with peace of mind, and all the medical expenses will be paid by my Jiang family." The little fat girl was very straightforward.
Hu Daoba felt relieved and couldn't help but clasped his fists in gratitude.
At this time, Xiao Wu couldn't help but be curious, and ran over again, "By the way, Brother Hu, what disease does your brother have? Why is he still wrapped in a straw mat? Aren't you afraid of being covered?" When
mentioning this, Hu Daoba's face became unnatural, and he lowered his head, "This... This disease is really hard to say, I'm afraid it will pollute the princess's ears."
Xiao Nuobao couldn't help but become more curious when he heard it.
Hu Daoba also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he sighed and frowned, "My brother is the youngest and the least ambitious. Whenever he got money, he would hang out in places of fireworks, at least a dozen times a month, and his body was ruined!"
They were sworn brothers, a total of six people, and the one who got sick was Hu Laoliu, who was just twenty years old this year.
Hu Laoliu was not greedy for money, but he had a hobby, which was that he couldn't live without whoring for two days.
In a year, he had been in and out of so many brothels that he could circle the capital!
Sometimes, if Hu Daoba couldn't find him, he would just take the money bag angrily and kick the door of each brothel.
As time went by, when the brothel owner saw him again, she simply rolled her eyes and led people upstairs without asking any questions, ensuring that she could catch the embracing Hu Laoliu.
Xiao Nuobao and Xiao Wu listened with wide eyes.
"After such a long time, Laoliu unknowingly contracted syphilis." Hu Daoba was ashamed and resentful, with a look of hatred on his face.
At first, when Hu Laoliu showed signs of illness, everyone thought it was just a mosquito bite, but later he had more and more acne on his body and became weak and powerless, and then they knew that something was wrong.
The six brothers of Hujiazhuang have been sharing weal and woe and are as close as brothers.
Watching Hu Laoliu getting thinner day by day, the other five brothers were so worried that they would rather sell themselves to find a miracle doctor to save their brother!
Xiao Nuobao finally understood the whole story, and at the same time he felt a little emotional, this kind of brotherhood is really rare.
After Hu Daoba finished speaking, he took Xiao Nuobao and Xiao Wu to Doctor Wu's yard. At
this moment, Hu Laoliu was lying on the straw mat, facing up, his face was visibly gray.
Xiao Nuobao was shocked and walked forward, and found that he was not only skinny, but also had several spherical red rashes on his face and chest, like blood pearls gathered together, some of which were oozing pus!
"How can someone be so sick!" Xiao Wu was so scared that he almost jumped up.
Doctor Wu quickly stretched out his hand to block him, "He has a disease called pearly eczema. Stop looking at it, especially Nuobao, or you will have nightmares at night!"
After saying that, he washed his hands and snorted angrily, "This disease is called syphilis, which is caused by whoring! At first, it's just acne on the skin and weakness in the body, but in the end, the toxins damage the lungs and the person can only wait to die. Why didn't you see a doctor earlier!"
Hu Daoba felt extremely guilty and asked hurriedly "Wonderful doctor, can my brother still be saved?"
Doctor Wu couldn't help but frown and glared at him, "Do you think we are brothers now? Why didn't you give him some advice when he acted recklessly earlier? If he had kept himself clean, he wouldn't have been so sick at such a young age. In the late stage of syphilis, it is incurable and you can only wait for death, you know!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Daoba froze, as if he was in an ice cave.
However, the little fat girl blinked her big eyes. With her understanding of Grandpa Wu's medical skills, she always felt that there could be some hope.
So she walked forward and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Wu, is there really no way to treat his illness?"
Doctor Wu hesitated, then sighed, "When the disease reaches the late stage, it will damage the lungs and internal organs. It is truly a terminal illness that even gods cannot cure."
"It's just..."
He paused, as if he thought of something again, "It's just that when Grandpa Wu was young, he met a man with the same serious illness in the frontier. At that time, Grandpa Wu was young and energetic, and he thought that man could conquer nature. As a result, he accidentally saved the man."
Xiao Nuobao's eyes widened.
"Then Grandpa Wu, do you still remember the prescription at that time? You can try it on Hu Laoliu!"
The doctor's job is to cure diseases and save lives. As long as the medicine can be administered normally, how can Doctor Wu watch someone die without saving him?
He looked a little embarrassed and said, "But...but there was a medicine lead at that time, maybe it was the key to the medicine soup, but the medicine lead is now a banned item...and I have only treated that one person, so I can't be sure whether the prescription is really effective or I am just lucky."
"What medicine lead?" Xiao Nuobao asked hurriedly.
Doctor Wu sighed
again. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "It's the thing that harmed people before, opium paste!"
Although opium can harm people, in fact, when it was first discovered, it was used to treat illnesses.
However, there is a clear ban in the capital, and anyone who buys or hides opium poppy paste will be sent to prison.
When Hu Daoba heard this, a spark of hope appeared in his eyes, and he stepped forward with a clenched fist and begged, "Doctor Wu, please give it a try!"
"As for the opium poppy paste, I can find a way to get it. The crime I am charged with is my own. As long as there is half a hope of saving Lao Liu, I am willing to go to prison or even exile!" Hu Daoba's face was full of determination.
Seeing the deep love between their brothers, Doctor Wu was also quite moved.
However, the opium poppy had caused many troubles before, and he was not sure whether the previous prescription could still cure people this time.
So Doctor Wu did not rush to agree, but waited to see what Xiao Nuobao meant.
Xiao Nuobao lowered his eyes and thought for a while.
Soon, she raised her pink lips and looked up at Hu Daoba.
"Anyone in Beijing who has anything to do with opium is not allowed by law. This is the iron rule set by my father!"
Hu Daoba thought she disagreed, and he was a little desperate, and his heart sank to the bottom of the well.
"But!"
Suddenly, Xiao Nuobao changed the subject, puffed up his little face and said, "But the original intention of setting a ban was to protect the people from the harm of opium! But if this thing can be used to treat diseases and save lives, why not? Everything has two sides, and we can't throw away food because of choking!"
Having said that, she waved her hand and took out the princess token.
"From today on, if there is a doctor who wants to use poppy as medicine just to save people, he only needs to register with the government and get a pardon order, and then he can use this thing."
"Grandpa Wu, we still have a lot of poppy paste collected in Yuncheng. You can take a piece and give it to Hu Laoliu for medicine first." Xiao Nuobao turned his head and spoke decisively.
Hearing this, Hu Daoba's eyes were overjoyed, with a bit of surprise and gratitude.
"Thank you for your generosity, princess. We brothers have no way to repay you, but you can use these few lives at your command in the future, even if it means heaven or hell!"
Hu Daoba knelt on one knee on the ground, and the long scar on his face was flushed with excitement!
