Chapter 161

Song Wu was helped onto the bullock cart and returned to the house. When he was going to the guest room with a cane, Lang Jun's personal servant came to see him.

He was worried and dragged his broken leg to Lang Jun's house.

Lang Jun saw him coming, and before he could kneel down on the steps and kowtow, he raised his hand and pointed to stop him: "You just broke your leg, so don't kneel down."

Song Wu was frightened, but he stood obediently. The pile did not move, and he shouted: "Second Master Qiong, what do

you want to tell me about Xun Xiao?" Second Master Qiong said: "I just asked you to go to Dr. Xu for medical treatment. Please tell me quickly and he will give it to you." What kind of medicine did you get, what did you say?"

Song Wu was just an inconspicuous servant in the house, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen off the rockery.

The life of a handyman is not life, this is what he understood after coming to work in the house.

Therefore, today, Second Master Qiong changed his usual routine and suddenly showed concern for low-class people like them. It was just a different way to have fun. After thinking about this, Song Wu's heart gradually cooled down and he was no longer so complacent.

But when he mentioned Doctor Xu, Song Wu's body trembled unsatisfactorily, and cold sweat broke out unconsciously.

Song Wu Miaoqi said uneasily: "Returning to Second Master Qiong, after hearing what I said, Doctor Xu took action and directly pulled the broken leg of the little one back into place, saying that he had taken it back..."

He also I don’t know if it was really connected, but now that I have applied the ointment prescribed by the doctor and fixed the board again, it seems that the pain is less.

Song Wu faithfully explained what Xu Yi said.

After hearing this, Mr. Qiong said, "Here's the prescription. Show it to me quickly."

Song Wu didn't even have the chance to put the things he got back from Xu Yi back into the servant's room.

He immediately handed over the prescription and ointment to Master Qiong.

Mr. Qiong opened the prescription and read it carefully in front of the oil lamp. He saw that the dialectical syndrome was written in the prescription, and he also prescribed a decoction to relieve pain and reduce swelling.

There is nothing special about this prescription, it is a commonly used prescription.

There was no detailed description of the ointment that was mainly applied to the broken area, and only the words "Huoxue Huayu Recipe" were scrawled down.

Seeing that Master Qiong had not spoken for a long time, Song Wu swallowed his saliva and asked, "Master Qiong, do you have this recipe? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"No..." Master Qiong threw the recipe to him.

If there is no problem in this prescription, we don't know how good Dr. Xu is.

He made a bet with Fa Xiao and he didn't know who would win and who would lose.

...

The Xu family cabin.

When Xu Yi and others came back in a donkey cart, they saw Erqing squatting at the door holding a bow and arrow. At his feet lay a majestic yellow dog, one man and one dog, waiting for them.

The thin face of the teenage boy was cold and tense, and his lips were pursed into a straight line. He looked not to be trifled with.

But when he saw the donkey cart, the young man's eyes suddenly flashed with joy, his tense face showed a smile, and he stood up holding the wooden bow and arrow that was always close to his body.

"Erqing." Xu Yi got out of the carriage, raised his chin slightly and called his name.

Er Qing trotted to the outside of the carriage and said, "Doctor Xu, you are back."

Xu Yi explained to Yi, "It's been a long time. We met a patient today, which delayed us for a while."

"We didn't wait long." Er Qing said. Qing couldn't help but share, "After I brought the pheasant into the city, I wanted to take it to the butcher, but on the way I met a female servant from a wealthy family who said she wanted to buy the pheasant from me. Wait. Come back, it's already very late."

He waited for less than a quarter of an hour before Xu Yi and the others came back.

Seeing that he could catch prey every day, Xu Yi was surprised at Erqing's hunting ability.

With such skills, it is not difficult to survive in this world.

But what happened to this child was a group of clan members who ate people but never spit out their bones, wearing sheep's clothing and doing evil things. Otherwise, Erqing could have lived a good life.

After these days of getting along, Erqing has become a lot more lively.

They were getting closer and closer to Xu Yi. After he finished speaking, he told Xu Yi how much money he had earned today.

As of today, Erqing has finally saved five hundred dollars, which is the most money he has ever saved. He wanted to use the money to repay Xu Yi's kindness, but he was afraid that he would desecrate Xu Yi's kindness by using the money to repay the favor.

Entering the yard, he helped A Xu move the items for the stall from the carriage.

After moving, he hesitated in the yard and walked around with a look of struggle on his face.

"Erqing, what are you doing?" Ajin's clear voice called him back from his thoughts.

Er Qing shook his head with red cheeks and said, "No... no." Ah Jin snorted and didn't believe him: "You're so abnormal. Why don't you go in the house? Is there something you're hiding from us?" Er Qing

said.

Surprised.

Seeing his appearance, Ah Jin deliberately teased him while holding back a smile, and took two steps toward him and said, "Let me guess... maybe I'm tired of staying in Zitong and want to leave?"

Er Qing heard this. , hurriedly denied and shouted: "No, I didn't think so."

"What is that?" Seeing him take the bait, Ah Jin narrowed her beautiful almond eyes, and there was a cunning light that was hard to detect.

Poor Er Qing didn't know that he was being tricked on purpose. After being stunned for a long time, he suppressed his red cheeks and explained what he was thinking.

After saying that, he looked at her expectantly: "Sister Ah Jin, have you ever thought about how to repay Dr. Xu?"

Ah Jin pursed her lips and rarely answered in a hurry.

She and her brother were bought by Lang Jun, and this matter has never been hidden from anyone. Lian Erqing also found out about this not long after following them.

Erqing had never worked as a servant for a wealthy family, so he didn't know that their relationship with Xu Yi was abnormal.

Therefore, what he was curious about was how the Ajin brothers repaid Xu Yi.

Ah Jin looked at him, the light in his eyes became firm, and he whispered: "Lang Jun doesn't need us to repay him. He didn't buy us to get anything from us. It's just that my brother and I have decided that in this life, Everyone must follow Langjun."

After finishing speaking, Ajin patted Erqing on the shoulder.

"You don't have to think about how to repay your husband."

Seeing Er Qing's face become more confused, A Jin pretended to be mysterious, "You will understand later."

Erqing opened his mouth, wanting to continue asking something, but suddenly the words that reached his mouth stuck on the tip of his tongue.

He saw Xu Yi walking out gracefully from the house behind Ah Jin.

Seeing them outside with the cold wind blowing, Xu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a slight smile: "Tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, and there will be a lively lantern festival at the night market tonight. I plan to guess lantern riddles. Do you want to follow?"

Ah Jin's eyes flashed. The lights were on, his movements were lively, and he shouted happily: "I'm going, I'm going."

Because they were all going, Erqing wanted to follow them.

It wasn't appropriate to leave Xiao Huang alone at home, so everyone went with him, neatly and neatly.

The relaxed Xu Yi was not like he was during the day. He changed into a crescent-colored brocade round-neck robe, a light blue cloak, and a red fox scarf. His whole person transformed into a handsome and handsome man with clear features and clear eyes. The handsome gentleman.

A Xu and A Jin are used to Xu Yi dressing up stunningly from time to time.

Unexpectedly, it was the first time for Erqing to see Xu Yi dressed so elegantly. He stood there dumbly and didn't move.

"Why are you dazed? Come up quickly." A Jin waved his handkerchief to him.

Er Qing came back to his senses with red ears, quickly lowered his eyes and did not look at Xu Yi, and climbed onto the donkey cart with numb hands and feet.

He did not sit in the carriage, but accompanied A Xu who was driving the donkey cart.

The donkey cart slowly drove out of the dim civilian alley of South Street and headed towards the lively and bustling market.

The market at night is brightly lit, with various colored lights hanging high, and there is a bustle of people. Various shouts come from both sides of the street, the peddlers walk along the streets, and the songs of Yanyan and Yanyan are heard one after another in the small buildings and tiles.

Ah Jin opened the curtain and stuck his head out. When he saw the dazzling array of beautiful lanterns hanging on the lantern festival, he exclaimed "Wow!"

"Lang Jun, that rabbit lantern is so beautiful!"

"Lang Jun, is that a revolving lantern? What's inside is not a picture of the Eight Immortals, hey, it's a picture of a lady!"

"Lang Jun..."

Lang Jun said after Ah Jin's voice. Here, Xu Yi couldn't stop laughing. If he kept shouting, he might not have guessed the answer to the riddle yet, and Mr. Er's ears would develop cocoons.

A Xu helplessly shouted: "Sister, please be quiet, don't disturb Lang Jun."

Upon hearing this, A Jin curled his lips towards A Xu, turned to Xu Yi and said: "Lang Jun, can you promise me Yes, if you guess correctly, you can give it to me. You can't break your promise."

Xu Yi said calmly, "Because I might not guess correctly.

He didn't know anything about the current lantern riddles or what kind of riddles he would play. He just suddenly heard the guests who came to Cui Xiaolou for dinner during the day and knew that there would be such a lively lantern festival tonight.

Ah Jin blinked, why did she feel that Lang Jun was less confident than her.

The group of them got off the car outside the lantern festival and then split into two groups. Xu Yi and A Jin go together, and A Xu and Erqing Xiaohuang go together to see who of them comes back first to win the lantern.

At first, Ah Jin felt that she was sure to win by following Lang Jun, until...

half an hour later.

Xu Yi didn't even answer a single puzzle correctly. Ah Jin looked at him and hesitated to speak. It was not an illusion. Lang Jun really didn't know how to guess riddles.

She was in a daze, and it turned out that there was something that her husband didn't know.

“Clang, clang, clang—”

a sound of gongs sounded, and the stall owner hanging the lanterns shouted out witty words: “The moon hangs over half of the sky, Chang’e sleeps with her son, and it rains at the right time, so reading goes without saying. [Note 1] This guess Whoever can answer the question first can choose a lantern. If he can hit ten in a row, the most beautiful colorful lotus lantern will be his~"

Before the stall owner could finish his words, there were people vying for the first place and raising their hands. , one after another want to win the first place.

Xu Yi stood in the crowd, frowning and thinking: "..."

Why didn't I do my homework before coming?

Thinking about how he used to perform key programs with his cousin and the others at annual meetings, he always chose to recite medical texts.

As for brain teasers, they were not within his scope of consideration.

"Lang Jun, have you thought of anything?" Ah Jin twisted the handkerchief and asked in a low voice.

Xu Yi smiled bitterly: "I can't answer."

Ah Jin's breath stagnated slightly, biting his lip and said: "Then let me guess?"

If he said anything else, Xu Yi would naturally act like a "husband", but this kind of Guessing the answer to the riddle, he thought gloomily, it was better to leave it to Ah Jin to fight for it.

Xu Yi said, "Go ahead. Whether you can get the lantern or not is up to you."

"Yes!" Ah Jin nodded heavily.

She will not let Lang Jun down.

With Xu Yi's approval, Ah Jin no longer hid his clumsiness, pushed aside the young ladies and envoys around him, raised the handkerchief in his hand, and shouted in the noisy crowd with a clear and moving voice: "There is good wine for sale. ."

After she finished speaking, the stall owner took a step forward towards her with a smile.

"This little lady answered correctly, and I will score one point for this." After he said that, he asked Ah Jin with a smile, "Little lady, do you want to change the lantern now, or do you want to change the lantern after counting to ten, and change it to the most beautiful colorful lotus lantern? "

I want the colorful lotus lantern." Ah Jin replied without thinking.

Xu Yi, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He was indeed the one who raised her, and his courage was commendable.

Soon, a new mystery is revealed.

The stall owner shouted loudly: "There is a bell on the water. It will make no sound when you shake it. Take a closer look and you will see a face full of big eyes." [Note 2]

This time, Ah Jin still took the lead. She shouted: "Yes." Osmanthus."

She was very familiar with this riddle. When she followed her husband to pick osmanthus, she heard the ladies singing this riddle.

Later, the stall owner called out a few more questions, some of which were overtaken by others, and some of which Ah Jin answered correctly.

The atmosphere was lively and exciting, and everyone was laughing.

Half an hour later, Ah Jin lived up to expectations and answered ten questions correctly before anyone else.

Everyone lamented that an unknown young woman had taken the lead.

Soon, in full view of everyone, the stall owner took down the colorful lotus lantern and gave it to Ah Jin.

Ah Jin happily took it and looked back for Lang Jun with the lantern.

Xu Yi stood outside the crowd, looking at her with gentle eyes.

...

As soon as the Double Ninth Festival passed, Yu Qiulin rushed to Zitong County with the letter sent by Xu Yi.

According to the address written in the letter, he went to the inn where Xu Yi had stayed. The inn's security guard had already received instructions from Xu Yi. Knowing that such a person came to ask questions, he informed Yu Qiulin of their current address.

Yu Qiulin walked around twice and came to the courtyard of the Xu family's cabin.

He carried his luggage and knocked on the door. After a while, no one answered.

Yu Qiulin wanted to continue knocking on the door, but suddenly he heard a questioning voice from behind: "Who are you looking for?"

Hearing this, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray cotton robe.

The middle-aged man was shopkeeper Qin. He came to invite Xu Yi to go to his home for a follow-up consultation, and he happened to meet Yu Qiulin arriving.

The two reported their names to each other and learned that they were both looking for Xu Yi, but Xu Yi was not there.

Shopkeeper Qin thought for a while and said, "If Doctor Xu is not here, he must be in Cuixiaolou."

"Cuixiaolou?" Yu Qiulin frowned suspiciously.

Shopkeeper Qin smiled and said: "Brother Yu, I will take you there."

Yu Qiulin cupped his hand and did not refuse: "Thank you, shopkeeper Qin, for showing you the way."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had known each other for many years on the way to Cui Xiaolou. , explaining Yi with witty remarks and talking eloquently.

Not long after, Yu Qiulin and shopkeeper Qin came to the awning where Xu Yi was being treated.

At this moment, Xu Yi was looking at the patient's injuries. When he saw Yu Qiulin from the corner of his eye, he paused for a moment, and then calmly and gently said to the patient in front of him: "Your sprain is not serious. Go back with two patches of ointment." , it will be cured in two days."

After saying that, he raised his hand towards Ah Jin.

Ah Jin walked over clearly, picked up two sheets of ointment for bruises, wrapped them with paste waste paper, and handed them to the patient.

The patient said a few words of gratitude, counted out eleven copper coins from his purse and gave them to A Xu who was standing next to him.

After watching the patient leave, Xu Yi stood up and looked at the dusty Yu Qiulin with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Brother Yi is also doing well in Zitong. It seems that my mother is worried." Yu Qiulin joked with a smile.

Xu Yi shook his head and raised his chin slightly: "That's because my aunt cares about me. It's not easy to know that I'm out there."

Hearing this, Yu Qiulin snorted, thinking about the business of his coming to Zitong, and said slightly excitedly "I got your letter a few days ago. It happened to be before the Double Ninth Festival. I will come here after the Double Ninth Festival. Is what you said in the letter true?"

"Really." Xu Yi nodded.

Shopkeeper Qin was also there, and Xu Yi and Yu Qiulin didn't say anything else.

The two of them chatted briefly, and Xu Yi asked shopkeeper Qin why he came here.

After learning that shopkeeper Qin was here to ask him for a follow-up consultation, he said he would close the stall and go there.

Shopkeeper Qin got the letter and looked at the young man who came looking for Xu Yi with his luggage on his back. He left first knowingly.

Xu Yi asked Yu Qiulin: "What do you think about this ointment for injuries caused by business injuries?"

Yu Qiulin, who was confident, had already made a plan in his mind.

Not to mention ointments for bruises, even other unknown pills and ointments, he was in short supply.

Nowadays, he is a trader in raw and cooked medicines, and has become quite famous in Yanting. Many big customers come to him to buy and sell Xiaoshi pills, and some even ask him if he has any other good stuff.

Yu Qiulin said: "As you said in your letter, when I do this business, I will not raise the price randomly, but I also have to make money. One patch of ointment must be sold for at least four cents."

If it is sold for four cents, it will cost one If you stick to him, you can get two cents.

If he can win by quantity, excluding food, accommodation and travel expenses, he can make some small money. If you keep accumulating money bit by bit, the profit won't be that low.

Just thinking of this, Yu Qiulin came to Zitong County to see Xu Yi without hesitation.
