Gu Beiheng had heard of Qian Daru before, but he had joined the army very early and had no contact with him. He also admired such an old man, but the Emperor Wu he faced was too petty.
The size of a needle tip at most.
Not a bit more.
As loyal as Gu Beiheng had been to Emperor Wu before, he now despised him. He wanted to rub his head against the grass and ask him:
As the Emperor of Dashun, can you please stop acting like a harem girl and assume that everyone has rebellious intentions?
pity.
There is no such opportunity.
Gu Beiheng's expression changed constantly as he walked towards the Qian family side by side with Su Qi.
"Dad. We need to ask a doctor over. I'm afraid grandpa isn't feeling well." Qian Yiqian's face was solemn, his thin body slightly bent.
Qian Mingan's hands trembled as he was weaving the bamboo basket, and his eyes fell on the bamboo basket that looked like one woven by a child.
"Wait until your brothers and uncles come back from hunting. Then they can exchange their prey for silver and hire a doctor. We have some Panax notoginseng leaves at home. Boil some water and use it to clean your grandfather's body."
Qian Yiqian curled his lips. "In the past twenty days, I've only found a silly rabbit that had bumped into a tree trunk, a dozen or so pheasant eggs, and some wild fruits."
Where can I get the prey to exchange for silver? A wild boar that goes to hit a tree?
Qian Mingan only hated that he was devoted to studying.
These hands can do nothing but hold a pen. Having lost many relatives on the road to exile, he finally arrived in this bitter cold land.
Before you can even breathe a sigh of relief, you have to worry about two meals a day.
They say they are going into the mountains to hunt, but it's just a matter of trying their luck with the crowd to see if they can encounter a silly rabbit.
Pheasants run too fast and are difficult to catch.
"Then I'll go boil some water." Qian Yiqian rubbed his empty stomach and turned around to see a man and a woman walking towards him from the side of the road.
The man was tall and handsome. He lowered his head and said something to the smiling woman next to him.
The woman's smiling face looked like a blooming sunflower.
"Dad, someone is coming."
Qian Mingan smiled bitterly, "Even mice have to take a detour when passing by, so how could someone come to our house? I'm afraid they are just passing by here." He was still weaving the bamboo basket while speaking, not daring to be distracted at all.
If you're not careful, the bamboo basket will fall apart again.
"He's coming to our house." Qian Yiqian couldn't remember how long it had been since he had spoken to a stranger in the village.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng looked up and saw Qian Yiqian coming. They went up to greet him. After explaining their identities, Qian Yiqian heard that there was also a group of exiles coming.
It is also the home of military generals.
Qian Ming'an put down the work in his hands, turned around and saw Gu Beiheng and the others, feeling depressed.
Are these the exiles who have just arrived a few days ago?
She was wearing fine cotton and her smiling face made it look like she was here for a trip.
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry.
Before Gu Beiheng could say anything, the old man's painful sigh was heard from the room.
"Is Qian Daru sick?"
"I was given a hundred lashes, but I wasn't allowed to receive proper treatment. I had to travel a bumpy road to get here. It's about a thousand miles from our Yunzhou City." Qian Ming'an turned around and walked into the house.
"Can we go and take a look?"
"My grandfather has some bad smell, I'm afraid he might offend you two."
"It's okay. My wife happens to know a little about medicine. If there are no taboos, you can let her treat you." Gu Beiheng knew that scholars had many taboos, especially when it came to female doctors.
Qian Yiqian's eyes were filled with joy, and he rubbed his hands and smiled bitterly:
"I don't even have enough money to hire a doctor. What's this bullshit taboo?"
After a pause, he said embarrassedly:
"I'm afraid I'll have to pay for the consultation on credit first."
"It's okay. I'll go take a look first." Su Qi followed Qian Yiqian in while speaking.
Qian Mingan inside had already heard what Su Qi and the others said. He stood up from the shack and saluted Su Qi.
"Thank you, Madam."
Su Qi didn't say anything more and just sat down. The old man on the bed looked haggard, and the wounds on his body were horrible to look at.
He was holding on with only one breath, and the sound of the bellows in his throat was making a "ouch" sound.
"I need to perform a minor operation on him, so all of you go out. The medical skills passed down from our ancestors are not suitable for outsiders to observe." Su Qi said this in a mysterious tone, and then looked at Qian Mingan with a serious face.
Qian Ming'an's heart shuddered, feeling that this was not a good thing.
but.
Thinking of his old father lying on the bed and the whole family, he nodded and walked out, asking Qian Yiqian to close the door.
Su Qi cut a small piece of ginseng from the space and stuffed it into Qian Daru's mouth. Then she asked Gu Beiheng to help Qian Daru lie down on his side.
Cut his clothes.
Gu Beiheng's heart was in a mess.
The young woman gave Qian Daru treatment for an injury on her buttocks.
This... If Qian Daru knew this, he would probably be furious to death.
"Beiheng, doctors are like parents. In a doctor's eyes, there should be no distinction between men and women."
Gu Beiheng suppressed the turmoil in his heart and shook his head and waved his hands at Su Qi. "Qian Daru is almost scared to death."
Su Qi looked at the old man again and saw that he seemed to have heard their conversation. The veins on his neck were bulging and his fists were hitting the bed again and again.
The corner of Su Qi's mouth twitched, what a pedantic old man.
One shot.
Qian Daru didn't move.
Gu Beiheng watched Su Qi's miraculous injection, and Qian Daru's bulging veins obediently shrank back.
Su Qi scraped off the rotten flesh on his body, then began to clean it, apply medicine, and bandage it.
After finishing these.
Su Qi asked Gu Beiheng to go outside and talk to Qian Mingan about the cold wave. "Beiheng, if possible, you might as well take them in."
This family is so poor, and they are all powerless. With a little guidance, their brains are very useful.
Gu Beiheng paused and said, "Okay."
Opened the door and walked out.
Su Qi stayed in the room and continued to give acupuncture to Qian Daru. It could only be said that the person who executed him had good intentions.
Otherwise, Qian Daru would have died on the way to exile.
Su Qi knew it was impossible for him to stand up. Through her acupuncture techniques, she could allow him to live in a wheelchair, which was better than lying in bed and unable to move.
Acupuncture is over in half an hour.
Qian Daru was still sleeping and even snoring.
The two people outside the house who were worried were relieved when they heard the snoring.
The old man hasn't had a good night's sleep since he was tortured.
Su Qi walked out.
Gu Beiheng and Qian Mingan have finished their discussion.
"Send someone to go back with me to get the medicine." Su Qi rolled up the acupuncture bag.
Qian Mingan was a little excited:
"Don't you know my father?"
"It's unlikely that he can stand up. First, he's too old, and second, it's been a while." Su Qi's face was calm. "But he can sit in a wheelchair in the future, and it won't be so painful."
Qian Ming'an burst into tears and pulled Qian Yiqian down to kneel.
"Thank you, Madam Gu, for saving my life."
So charming.
Don't kneel, it's thundering! How can someone of your age kneel down so easily?
I haven't lived the life of a wealthy man yet, and I can't let it go just by a few kowtows or thunderclaps.
It’s such a loss.
Su Qi quickly jumped over, and Gu Beiheng supported Qian Mingan and his son with amusement.
The two men insisted on kneeling.
Gu Beiheng insisted on helping.
Qian Mingan pushed down hard, but was immediately lifted up by Gu Beiheng's hand. "Let's not use that trick. We're not in the capital, nor are we in your Yunzhou City."
"Listen to Master Gu and Madam. Tomorrow I will have all the boys in the family go to the Gu Mansion to listen to their instructions."
Gu Beiheng exchanged a few more pleasantries and asked Qian Yiqian to follow him home to get some herbs.
Only then did he leave the Qian family.
Su Qi returned to the courtyard and prepared a course of herbal medicine. She gave detailed instructions on how to decoct the medicine and the daily care precautions.
Finally, she told Qian Yiqian that she would go there for acupuncture and change the dressing every day.
Qian Yiqian thanked him profusely and left with the two bags.
All he could think about was why other people were living in such a state when they were also exiled, while his family was as poor and pitiful as rats crossing the street.
Suddenly I felt that being a scholar was useless.
At this moment, Qian Yiqian was determined to shamelessly go to the Gu family courtyard to learn martial arts.
When I got home, I found that only one bag contained herbs, and the other bag contained semolina and a few sweet potatoes.
He suddenly realized why he always felt that the two bags had different weights on the road.
When Qian Ming'an heard his sigh, he was so angry that he picked up a bamboo stick and chased after Qian Yiqian to beat him.
How can a scholar take other people's food?
After the fight, he was not sent back in the end.
After all, there are several little grandchildren at home who need to feed.
