Chapter 186:

The civet cat had a strong figure and jumped up the courtyard wall quickly, leaving only a slowly swinging tail facing Xu Yi.

Xu Yi raised his eyes slightly: "..." Why does this cat look so familiar?

I always think it’s the one I saw in Pu’an.

But if it is really the civet cat, how did the cat come here if Pu'an is so far away from Zhaohua?

Faced with this doubt, Xu Yi thought for a while and followed him by accident.

The civet cat didn't seem to notice that there was a person following behind it. It easily jumped over the wall of the previous courtyard, like walking on a stage, and arrived in front of a huge courtyard.

Xu Yi stopped and waited for its next move. As a result, the civet cat finally spotted him.

It turned its head and looked towards him with round golden cat eyes.

"Mimi?" Xu Yi tried to call it.

The civet cat tilted its round plush head, and the majestic black stripes on it shone silvery under the sunlight.

Xu Yi's hands were itchy and he wanted to touch them, but he was very restrained and held back. He patted his palms gently and called softly to it: "Mimi, come here."

The civet cat said "meow" and hesitated for a moment. After meeting, he jumped down from the wall and walked towards him gracefully.

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the civet cat "meowing" against the hem of his gown, and he smiled in surprise.

It's that tanuki.

I don’t know who I followed to Zhaohua.

Xu Yi squatted down and tried to reach out his hand to touch its head.

The next moment, the civet cat raised its head and actively rubbed the side of its face against him, which is the periauricular gland that detects smells.

Xu Yi arched his eyebrows, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's really you. How did you get here? Are you here to see your master?"

Speaking of the master, the smile on Xu Yi's face Cut in half: "Why didn't he take good notice of you? What if you encounter a dog and can't run away."

The civet cat didn't understand. It rubbed and begged for dried meat.

Xu Yi sighed and said he didn't bring it.

"How about you follow me?" he blurted out.

He didn't expect the raccoon cat to follow him, but he had to try. Maybe it would follow him, so that he would have an excuse to keep it.

Xu Yi stood up, flicked his clothes, waved to it and said: "Mimi, come on, follow me and I'll have some dried meat."

Cats in this world all react to the word "Mimi".

As soon as Xu Yi shouted, it followed him.

Fortunately, the inn is not far from here. Not long after the man and the cat walked, Xu Yi saw that the inn was close at hand.

Entering the inn, the civet cat sniffed the surrounding scent with its black nose. It followed Xu Yi while rubbing its body against nearby objects.

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows, this civet cat was so smart.

"Meow meow~"

The civet cat's tail waggled impatiently.

He looked a little angry.

Xu Yi coaxed: "Come on, this is my room. There is dried meat in it."

Maybe he understood or smelled the smell of dried meat, but the civet cat stopped meowing angrily.

It jumped up on the chair and sat gracefully on it, licking the flesh pad.

When Xu Yi saw it like this, little bubbles suddenly rose in his heart. It was so cute.

He was a little lucky that Xiao Huang followed Ah Jin and the others to hunt outside the city, otherwise this seemingly harmless civet cat would be brave enough to fight with Xiao Huang.

Xu Yi opened the bag of dried meat, took one and handed it to it.

The civet cat stopped licking its hands and lifted its chin to pick up the dried meat, enjoying it happily.

Soon, the amount of dried meat in the bag gradually decreased, and the civet cat was satisfied with its meal, and no longer looked at the dried meat that Xu Yi handed over again.

Xu Yi: "..."

What a heartless cat.

"Are you leaving?" Seeing the civet cat jumping down from the chair, Xu Yi asked it with some reluctance.

The cat didn't answer, and walked out of the room wagging its tail.

Xu Yi sighed, but still followed.

He wanted to know if this civet cat had an owner. If it was a stray cat, its shiny fur looked nothing like it.

Besides, this cat was quite clean, unlike the stray cats he had seen before.

The cat returned to the previous courtyard. It gracefully jumped up the wall, glanced at Xu Yi, and jumped down.

Xu Yi made a noise, and sure enough...

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a clear female voice came from behind.

Xu Yi was slightly stunned. He was looking at the civet cat, but he didn't notice when someone came behind him.

He looked back and saw that the young lady was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was wearing a green skirt, with an oval face and almond-shaped eyes. She had a bunch of black hair in a neat bun, two bead hairpins, and long eyebrows. He twisted it gently and put his hand on his waist.

When he looked carefully, Xu Yi discovered that there was a delicate scimitar on the side of his waist.

Yan Quyue's frown did not loosen, and the lively expression on her face did not diminish. She asked again: "Who are you? Why are you standing here."

Xu Yi suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly lowered his eyes, no longer rude. Stare across.

He said: "My surname is Xu Mingyi. I just met a civet cat by chance and stayed here for a while. It was not intentional."

Yan Quyue rolled her eyes and asked him: "Have you seen the Tiger Overlord?"

"Tiger ?" Overlord?"

Xu Yi was surprised, this name was too domineering.

"Yes." Yan Quyue relaxed her brows and looked at him with a half-smile, "Since you followed us, are you feeding it?"

Xu Yiran smiled and said, "Well, it likes to eat dried meat."

Yan Quyue snorted after hearing this. No wonder she had smelled the smell of dried meat on Tiger King's body before, and it was actually fed by the person in front of her.

She was thinking this while looking at it secretly.

I saw that this man was twenty-three or four years old. He was wearing a jade-blue gown with wind-filled sleeves. He had a handsome face and long hands and feet. He was over eight feet tall.

Yan Quyue had rarely seen such a tall and handsome man, let alone such a good-looking man.

Even though he lowered his eyebrows and did not look at her, Yan Quyue remembered that when he looked back, his starry eyes were like swords, quite graceful and sharp. Just thinking about it made her heart beat faster.

"Tiger King is very naughty and always runs out of control. If you see him next time, don't feed him any more." Yan Quyue's face, which was not painted with makeup, showed a fierce warning.

Xu Yi nodded and agreed honestly.

In fact, he really wanted to ask why the cat could run to Pu'an and then return to Zhaohua.

It could be seen that the young lady had warned him, so she turned around, leaving only her round black head facing him, and pushed the door into the yard.

Seeing no one else, Xu Yi smiled calmly, didn't take the matter to heart anymore, and returned to the hospital.

...

On the other side, Yan Quyue came into the yard and quickly entered the house.

Sure enough, she saw the well-fed Tiger King lying in his den, sleeping with his eyes squinted.

"Tiger Overlord, Tiger Overlord!" Yan Quyue shouted through gritted teeth. Tiger Overlord opened his eyes slowly, glanced at her, and closed them again.

Yan Quyue's chest heaved with anger, she bit her lip and said, "Are you too proud of me? You found me a new owner outside? People are coming to the door!"

If she hadn't pretended to be calm, she would have If you want to break the gong, you will be ashamed beyond measure.

"Meow?"

Tiger King still looked lazy, not understanding her irritation at all.

Yan Quyue sighed and sat in front of Tiger Overlord, stroking its soft hair with her slender hands, and murmured in a low voice: "The man said his surname was Xu Mingyi, why does this name sound familiar?"

She followed . My brother's family travels all over the country and goes everywhere. They are not like ordinary women who blush when they see a man.

But the person she met today made her blush inexplicably and her heart beat.

Yan Quyue was very surprised by this feeling. She thought about it but couldn't figure out the reason.

She clutched her still pounding chest and wondered suspiciously, maybe she often got up and lit a lamp to read the storybook after her brother and sister-in-law fell asleep. Did she notice something wrong?

Oh, that’s incredible!

If she got sick at such a young age, wouldn't it mean that she couldn't read the script?

Thinking that there were dozens of storybooks hidden in her cage that only she knew about, she was reluctant to die.

"Yue'er, Yue'er?" Outside, his brother Yan Jingming came back from outside. He shouted a few words to Yan Quyue's boudoir, and then said to his wife, "It's been two days since we returned to Zhaohua. You have a bad spleen and stomach." If it doesn't get better, why

don't you try another doctor?" His wife, Wen Shujin, sighed and said, "I've been having this problem for several years, so let's forget about it."

"What can I do?" Yan Jingming frowned. Mei, I don’t agree with my wife’s statement.

He then turned around and shouted into the room: "Yue'er?"

Why didn't he make a sound? Could it be that he hasn't come back yet?

Just as he was thinking this, the door creaked open, and Yan Quyue walked out of the room and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, are you back?"

"Where's Brother Xiao?" she asked.

Yan Xiao is the only child of his brother and sister-in-law. He is disobedient and very naughty all day long. He was not afraid of anyone, but he was afraid that his aunt Yan Quyue would teach him a lesson with a bamboo whip.

Wen Shujin said with a smile: "He was taken to the market by Uncle Jin. He shouldn't be in a hurry to come back in a while."

They had been traveling for more than a month, and they kept stopping and walking on the road. I just came back, but Yan Xiao was so depressed.

"I think he is the greedy king's mother-in-law's oily fruit. Just two days after arriving, he asked Uncle Jin to take him to eat." Yan Quyue ruthlessly exposed him and said with a smile, "Uncle Jin is doting on him. If When he meets me, let’s see if I don’t beat his ass to pieces.”

“Pfft.” Wen Shujin burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Yan Jingming glared at her: "Girls, no matter how much you say these things, you are not afraid of not being able to get married."

Yan Quyue: "..."

Brother, if you don't mention this, she just can't get married. Well.

Thinking about her, in the past few years, there were many handsome men who wanted to marry her, but once, she taught a bastard a lesson in the street. The bastard was the baby of the family. He cried and shouted that she was a "bug." "Po"...

After this news came out, all the matchmaking mothers who came to propose marriage disappeared in an instant.

Wen Shujin was worried and tried her best to find out. The matchmaker mother who was willing to reveal the information shook her head and said: "Which young lady is so vulgar and beats men in the street? If you ask me, Sister Yue's temper is not good this month." I'm afraid it will be difficult to get married in the future."

After hearing this, Wen Shujin went home worried and told Yan Quyue in private.

"If you don't want to marry, I won't marry. I don't want to be someone else's mother-in-law." Yan Quyue shouted without any shame at that time.

She added in her mind that next time she encounters a jerk bullying someone, she will fight back.

Wen Shujin: "..."

Yan Jingming couldn't persuade his sister, let alone her sister-in-law.

Now that there is such a delay, Yan Quyue is nineteen years old, and still no one comes to propose marriage.

"Okay, let's not say that." Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel again, Wen Shujin immediately changed the subject and asked Yan Jingming, "You want to change the doctor, which one?"

Among the doctors in the city, which one of them Never went to see it.

Yan Jingming said: "At the tea party a few days ago, a foreign doctor signed up for a competition. The doctor won the tenth place at the tea party. I heard from the shopkeeper of Yongxing Tea House that the tea he ordered to win the ranking was Herbal tea, that herbal tea can regulate the spleen and stomach, why don't we ask him to take a look?"

"Is it so powerful?" Yan Quyue turned her bright eyes and asked, "What's the doctor's name? "

In the two days after she came back, she heard a lot of rumors along the street.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered why the name "Xu Yi" was so familiar.

Sure enough, when Yan Jingming heard her asking, he said, "It seems that his surname is Xu and his given name is Yi."

Yan Quyue's starry eyes flashed as she thought about it and said, "Then let's go find out where this person lives."

"Do you also think this person is good?" Yan Jingming asked her.

Yan Quyue seemed to have something to say: "It has been spread in the city. It shows that he is really capable. In that case, why not try his luck? If he is really capable, then my sister-in-law's stubborn disease can be cured."

After discussion, Uncle Jin came back with Yan Xiao.

As soon as Uncle Jin came back, Yan Jingming arranged to find out Xu Yi's address and whereabouts.

...

At the same time, Xu Yi took a few bags of medicinal materials and went to the market to buy some snacks for grinding teeth and relieving boredom.

Like sun-dried candied fruits, Xu Yi likes to eat preserved apricots. Unfortunately, apricots usually mature around June and July. The weather is only a bit hot and muggy now. Summer has not really come yet, and the apricots are not yet ripe. In an ordinary fruit shop Not sold.

He couldn't buy his favorite preserved apricots in the fruit shop, so he reluctantly chose plum fruits and jujube fruits.

"Sir, please go slowly~"

Xu Yi left with the fruits he bought as the waiter at the fruit shop shouted.

He had just arrived at the inn, and not long after, the waiter came knocking on the door looking for him.

Waiter: "Doctor Xu, someone is looking for you downstairs."

"Do you know who it is?" Xu Yi asked.

The waiter in the store was a well-informed man and said with a smile: "It's the Yan family in the south of the city. This Yan family is in the bidding business. The family has a strong family tradition. Even the young lady in his family is not inferior to the men. She dares to go against the team that protects the bidding. " [Note 1]

Xu Yi understood and asked: "Did you tell me what you wanted to see me for?"

The waiter said, "I said I wanted to see you for a visit."

As he said that, the waiter laughed and urged Xu Yi to hurry up. Go downstairs.

Someone asked him for a consultation, but Xu Yi had no reason to refuse. He nodded and turned around to take the medicine box with him.

He followed the waiter downstairs and saw a middle-aged man in his forties talking to the shopkeeper's wife downstairs.

The middle-aged man turned around and his sharp eyes instantly fell on Xu Yi. Xu Yi saw that this man had a burly figure, and his biceps were wrapped in a narrow-sleeved shirt. He looked like a martial artist, and he was very powerful and not easy to mess with.

The two looked at each other. Uncle Jin came over first and said, "Is this Dr. Xu?"

"That's right." Xu Yi nodded.

Uncle Jin's eyes showed a slight smile: "My uncle would like to invite Dr. Xu to visit."

Xu Yi said: "Please lead the way."

The Yan family is not very wealthy, but in the south of the city, his house is not small. The area is twice as large as that of its neighbors. It is divided into east and west rooms and has more than ten rooms.

Markers in the mark shop sometimes stay in the Yan family, so the extra room is reserved for them.

The eldest brother of the Yan family, Yan Jingming, lives in the east room with his wife and children. There are two side rooms, one is used as a study for business, and the other is used by brother Xiao.

In the west room, Yan Quyue lived with her nanny and maid. Yan Quyue occupies the main house exclusively and does not let her maid mother serve her on weekdays. She likes to be alone. Even if she goes out to play, she does not want to bring her maid with her. If a fight breaks out, she will have to distract herself from protecting others, which is troublesome. .

As for Uncle Jin and the other Lianjiazi, they live in the opposite house and take care of the trivial matters at home. They are busy every day without touching the ground, and they have to serve Brother Xiao who is always asking for things from him. .

When Uncle Jin took Xu Yi into the alley of South Street, Xu Yi looked at the slightly familiar houses on both sides of the alley and felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the young lady he had seen earlier.

Realizing that he was distracted, Xu Yi collected his thoughts and followed Uncle Jin who was leading the way boldly.

Until... they stopped in the courtyard where they met Tiger Overlord today.

Xu Yi secretly murmured: Could it be such a coincidence?

Who would have thought it was such a coincidence that Uncle Jin of the Yan family opened the door and led him into the courtyard. There were several boxing practitioners in the courtyard. They were not surprised when they saw Uncle Jin coming with the doctor.

The Yan family brothers and sisters are strong and strong, but Mrs. Yan Jiawen is very weak.

The Lianjiazi and label masters who worked in the Yan family all knew about this, and were not surprised by the doctors who came to the house from time to time to see patients.

"Doctor Xu, wait a moment." Uncle Jin said to Xu Yi behind him, turned around and went into the room to ask Yan Jingming for instructions.

Yan Quyue was also in Yan Jingming's room. When she heard Xu Yi invited her, she stood up and walked out of the room with light steps.

His brother was a little stunned when he saw her looking so positive, but he didn't think much about it.

Xu Yi stood quietly in the yard, like a green pine, standing gracefully.

He has a tall figure, profile and straight facial features. Just a glance from a distance reveals that he is a young man with bright eyes and sparse eyebrows.

When Yan Quyue saw that it was really him, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously. She shouted calmly and generously: "Doctor Xu, we meet again."

Xu Yi nodded gracefully: "Miss Yan. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Jingming said in surprise: "

Do you know each other?" Yan Quyue said first: "

..." Do you think I believe it?

Yan Jingming's lips twitched slightly. He looked at Qingjun opposite him and then at his sister. Why did he feel that the two of them were a perfect match standing together.

Well, this was the twenty-ninth time he thought his sister was a good match for some talent.

It's a pity that every time I think about it, there is no use. The other person either has a family, or is a wanderer who lives without a home, or is a widower who lost his wife.

Either his sister is not worthy of him, or the other person is not worthy of his sister.

Yan Jingming made up a lot of scenes in his mind in a very short period of time. When he saw Xu Yi saying hello to him, he remembered that he had something serious to do.

"Doctor Xu, I asked you to come here because I want you to treat my illness." Yan Jingming said, "She often suffers from gastrointestinal discomfort. Drinking other medicinal soups can only relieve it but not cure it. I wonder if Dr. Xu has a magic formula. Xu Yi

said, "I understand. I'll give Mrs. Ling a consultation first."

Wen Shujin was sitting in the room. She saw Xu Yi coming and wanted to get up to greet him, but Yan Jingming didn't let him go.

When someone entered the room, she and Brother Xiao were secretly looking at him.

This doctor Xu is so handsome, even more handsome than the actors pretending to be scholars on the stage.

Wen Shujin looked at the unmarried aunt at home. Although Sister Yue was not very enthusiastic about getting married, this girl's family had not done any bad things, so she could not be an old aunt at home. She thought in her mind that it would be great if Sister Yue could marry such a man.

Although studying medicine is a Qihuang art, it is much safer than them. If he is a good person and does not seek wealth and wealth, but just treats Sister Yue well, then it is worth it.

Wen Shujin was thinking about it, and she was already thinking about spending more money to ask the matchmaker in the city to find out which young doctors in the city had not yet married, and to include them among the candidates.

"Shu Niang, doctor Xu is going to check your pulse."

Next to him, Yan Jingming, who saw that his wife was unresponsive, reminded him.

Wen Shujin felt embarrassed for her gaffe. She leaned over and said softly, "Thank you, doctor."

Xu Yi said, "It's okay." After that, he began to diagnose her pulse.

Mrs. Yan's pulse is a little weak, and her body's yang energy has been damaged, which is evidence of dampness and heat.

Then, he asked Mrs. Yan's wife to open her mouth and stick out her tongue.

Seeing that her tongue coating was thick and white with greasy coating further confirmed his judgment.

Xu Yi asked her: "Do you feel gastrointestinal discomfort soon after eating?"

"Yes." Wen Shujin replied.

Xu Yi asked again: "Does it hurt your back?"

Wen Shujin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Not often."

Xu Yi asked: "How is your appetite?"

Wen Shujin did not answer immediately. She had the smallest appetite in the family. , every time I can't finish half a bowl of rice. If you encounter delicious food and accidentally eat too much, you will belch and feel uncomfortable.

Over time, her appetite became smaller and smaller.

Sometimes, when she follows Yan Jingming to bid, she always feels that she is a burden, but there are many men in the family, and Yan Jingming will not be at ease if she does not follow.

At this time, Yan Jingming, who was sitting next to her, said: "Jiannai never eats much. After eating seventy percent full, she can't eat anymore."

Xu Yi said: "This is the weakness of the spleen and stomach caused by dampness. In addition, the cold is too strong and the deficiency and cold are overflowing. Only drinking the medicinal soup to regulate the spleen and stomach can treat the symptoms but

not the root cause. Wen Shujin and Yan Jingming should first remove the dampness evil and then reconcile the spleen and stomach." Wen Shujin and Yan Jingming were overjoyed after hearing this. Is this a countermeasure?

Yan Quyue, who was listening attentively, now smiled happily.

Her pair of dark, almond-shaped eyes sparkle brightly, and her smile is full of joy, which is eye-catching.

Xu Yi was attracted by her laughter. He caught a glimpse of her beautiful face from the corner of his eye and quickly looked away.

Yan Quyue noticed his little movements and asked deliberately: "What did Doctor Xu think of?"

Xu Yi said softly: "I looked at Madam's pulse and it seems that she has been taking medicinal decoction for a long time. The medicine is three parts poisonous, so it is better to replace it with medicinal tea.

"Are you talking about the 'heat-clearing and damp-removing tea' you used in the tea party?" Yan Quyue asked .

Xu Yi turned sideways and nodded towards her: "This is exactly the recipe. However, the medicinal tea prescription will vary from person to person. This Huazai recipe is mainly used to remove dampness and does not harm the body. Madam, you can use it with confidence."

"Okay, Then thank you, doctor, for prescribing it." Yan Jingming patted his thigh generously and happily called Uncle Jin to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

...

After a while, Xu Yi was sent back to the inn by Uncle Jin with a generous medical fee.

After he left, in the east room of the Yan family, Wen Shujin looked at her husband, avoiding the aunt at home, and took him to the inner room to whisper.
