Chapter 189

Xu Yi saw that the Yan brothers and sisters seemed to be willing to do anything for a bag of shrimps. He subconsciously said: "I have it."

"Huh?"

Both of them turned to look at him.

Xu Yi faced Yan Qu's bright apricot eyes, took a breath, and said: "It's hard to buy shrimps, but it's not impossible. I met a merchant from the East China Sea who came to Sichuan in Pu'an before. What he had in his hands was There were a lot of seafood, so I bought some."

Yan Jingming held his hand kindly and shouted: "Doctor Xu, this is a great kindness. I saved someone in urgent need. I can't repay him, so I can only talk. Thank you."

He said and asked Uncle Jin to get the money.

When Uncle Jin was about to leave, Xu Yi stopped him with a smile and said to Yan Jingming, "That's not necessary. This shrimp is just a food item for me, but it is a medicinal ingredient for Mrs. Wen.

" At first glance, this shrimp became precious to Wen Shujin.

Then he called A Xu to go to the inn to get shrimps, and he explained in detail how to make the shrimp tea. Yan Quyue and the others' ears stood up when they heard it, but they didn't know how to do it. Uncle Jin remembered carefully and asked many key questions.

Xu Yi noticed this aspect, and then emphatically told Uncle Jin that when decoction of medicinal soup, he should remember to boil one medicinal ingredient in advance, and then put other medicinal ingredients in, and cook until three bowls of water are enough. One bowl left.

Finally, Uncle Jin smiled and said, "Old slave, I remember."

Xu Yi didn't say any more. A Xu got back the shrimps. This bag of shrimps was quite large.

At first, Xu Yi rarely saw merchants selling seafood, so he bought some more.

Now that it can be put to use, Xu Yi feels a little more happy in his heart.

...

When the group returned to the inn, Xu Yi remembered something and asked A Xu when he went upstairs: "Have you received the letter?"

A Xu shook his head and said no.

Xu Yi frowned when he found out. It had been such a long time, and there was no news about the letter he sent. And Xing Yuesen... I don't know if there was any letter.

On the second day, Xu Yi did not receive a letter from Xing Yuesen, but he received a letter from Yu Qiulin.

This letter was sent from Pu'an five days ago. Yu Qiulin said in the letter that he and Zhang Tiegou were traveling together on this trip. The journey was safe and they encountered no trouble. It's just that the supply of the Xiaoshi pills they concocted now exceeds demand, and several medical clinics are scrambling to get them.

In addition, Yu Qiulin also brought other good news in the letter.

They sent Xu Yi's medicinal wine to Pang's house. Since Uncle Tang taught Pang Boyi the physical training method, Pang Boyi's physical condition has improved a lot now. Two middle-aged men with different life experiences are actually in love with each other. The conversation was very pleasant, and there was a kind of old-age friendship that we regret meeting each other too late.

Seeing this, Xu Yi felt a little dumbfounded, but he was also very happy for Pang Gamei.

He continued reading and saw Yu Qiulin saying that his wife Fang Caiyi was pregnant again.

Xu Yi: "..."

In ancient times, pregnancy and childbirth were really scary things if contraception was not used.

In addition, he had checked Fang Caiyi's pulse before and knew that she was prone to pregnancy. If a woman with such a physique does not take protective measures, she will continue to get pregnant later.

Thinking that not many ancient people lived long, Xu Yi sighed and felt that he had to remind Yu Qiulin to exercise restraint.

He came to the case, studied his ink and picked up his pen, and wrote down the letter he had received, what he had done in Zhaohua, and his encounter with Old Man Li, and asked him to forward the news to Tang Dynasty. Uncle.

After careful consideration, Xu Yi wrote down the contraceptive method he had thought of before, and also wrote about the harms of repeated pregnancies. If Yu Qiulin felt sorry for Fang Caiyi, he would definitely listen to him.

After writing this matter, Xu Yi discovered that he had unknowingly written on several pieces of bamboo paper. He only used two pieces of writing on contraception.

He coughed slightly uncomfortably, pursed his lips, and kept them.

Folding the letter paper and stuffing it into the envelope, Xu Yi spread the paper again and picked up a pen to write letters to other friends.

Now, among them, he is the only one who has not yet married and has children, and even Xin Shengyuan, who is younger than him, is already a father.

When he left, Tao Qinghao and Xin Shengyuan had just married. In the blink of an eye, one of them had not received good news, and one of their children had already passed the full moon.

In the letter sent last time, Xu Yi remembered the maid named Xuelian and asked a few more questions.

Unexpectedly, Xin Shengyuan said in his reply that Xuelian had reached the age of marriage, but she was not taken into his house by him. Instead, her mistress decided to marry her to the son of the housekeeper.

The housekeeper's son Xu Yi had met him several times. He was smart and liked Xin Shengyuan very much. He had already promoted him to be the steward of the house. After Xuelian got married, she still worked as an errand in Xin Shengyuan's courtyard, but she was no longer a big girl and was promoted to the level of "mother".

When Xu Yi learned about this, he was a little dazed for a moment.

Xu Yi asked him in the letter whether his sister had grown taller and if she had given her a name. He also said that he saw something interesting in Zhaohua and would send it to his sister to play with.

...

So confidently, Xu Yi had many emotions hidden in his heart, all turned into pieces of writing paper.

A Xu came into the room.

Xu Yi then raised his head, rubbed his stiff neck, turned his head to relax for a moment, and glanced at the sky outside, which was already dark.

It took him so long to write.

Xu Yi rubbed his wrist and watched A Xu light the oil lamp. He looked at the letter paper lying in front of Xu Yi and asked, "Do you want to send a letter back?"

"Yes." Xu Yi smiled, "A bit I miss them."

A Xu laughed and said, "I miss Mrs. He too."

Xu Yi asked him, "Why don't you send a letter to Mrs. He?"

"Is that okay?" A Xu was a little hesitant.

He used to be envious when he saw Xu Yi sending letters, but he didn't care about many people. The only thing he worried about was Mrs. He's body.

Xu Yi said: "Since there is someone you care about, you shouldn't hide it, you should let the other person know. Besides, Brother Qiu also mentioned in the letter that Madam He is worried about you."

At the end of the sentence, Xu Yi said He patted his shoulder and said, "It's time for you to reply to the letter."

A Xu was touched and nodded heavily. When he returned to his room, he began to think about how to write a letter to Mrs. He.

*

Kyoto.

Official inn.

Xing Yuesen was writing an article at his desk, and his attendant Amu thoughtfully lit another oil lamp.

Sensing his movement, Xing Yuesen did not raise his head and only asked, "Did you receive the letter?"

"I didn't reply to Lang Jun." Amu shook his head.

Xing Yuesen sighed softly. More than a month had passed since the day when the results were released. The letter he sent home had been received and the entrusted company responded quickly.

But in the letter sent to Xu Yi, no good news came yet.

He put down his brush, looked tired, and raised his hand to pinch his brows. These days, he had various social activities and received guests every day, and slept for less than two hours every day. However, the tranquilizing pills Xu Yi sent him had long been used up, and he I haven't been able to sleep well these days. Amu felt distressed and said worriedly

: "Mr. Lang, why don't you ask a doctor to come and take a look tomorrow? You can't sleep well and your body will suffer."

Pills are not as good as Brother Yi's."

Amu curled his lips and thought to himself, but Doctor Xu is not in Kyoto.

Where are they going to find Dr. Xu?

Going to Zhaohua?

When he received the last letter, Xu Yi mentioned in the letter that they would settle in Zhaohua and also informed him of the address of the Guanjia Station.

It's a pity that there was something wrong with the letter they sent, and they didn't receive a reply for so long.

Could it be that Xu Yi didn't receive it?

Xing Yuesen also thought the same way. When he found out that he was a Jinshi, he couldn't wait to tell Xu Yi and the others the good news.

However, none of his friends were around. He was carrying this shocking news, but he didn't know who to talk to.

Every time this happens, Xing Yuesen misses his days in Yanting very much.

However, with all the regrets in the world, we can never go back to those innocent and romantic days. What he will face now is officialdom, colleagues, everyone's own thoughts, and a knife hidden in a sheath.

Xing Yuesen frowned and said to Amu, "Tomorrow, go and ask a doctor for me early in the morning."

"Ah?" Amu was stunned, a little confused as to why Lang Jun suddenly changed his mind.

Xing Yuesen said: "If anyone asks, just say that I am sick and can't sleep at night."

Immediately he became very worried and asked him if he wanted to find a doctor now.

Xing Yuesen looked at his follower, with a rare smile on his face, and scolded: "Idiot, you don't know if I'm really sick?"

Amu scratched the back of his head naively, now he knew that Lang That’s what you meant.

At the same time, Xu Yi, who was far away in Zhaohua, was just the opposite. After writing the letter, he lay on the bed contentedly and fell asleep soon after.

It was a dreamless night. Xu Yi woke up feeling refreshed and practiced a set of Hu Lei Tai Chi in the not-so-spacious room.

When he came out of the room, the other three people opened the door and came out one after another.

A Xu had a heavy task. He said a few words to Xu Yi and then went out with a thick stack of envelopes. When he went to the inn to mail the letter, he asked the inn's poor man if there was any letter from Kyoto.

He still got an unfaithful answer from the poor man, and he could only come back empty-handed.

"No?" Xu Yi asked, frowning.

A Xu said: "The Chai said that letters sent from Kyoto are very easy to throw away. He advised us to give up earlier and send another one back."

Xu Yi thought for a moment, accepted the Chai's proposal, and planned to send another letter back. Send one.

A Xu took the letter and ran again.

After waiting for a long time, this time, he ran back happily, holding a letter in his hand. When he saw Xu Yi, he shouted: "It's a letter from Mr. Xing!"

Xu Yi walked very fast. , walked over to take his letter and opened it.

A Xu gasped and said, "I haven't sent the letter yet, but the messenger said it has arrived."

Xu Yi did not reply to him, but read the letter written by Xing Yuesen at a glance.

Great, Xing Yuesen became a Jinshi!

Although the ranking is not high, this is a real Jinshi, and you can become an official directly after passing the exam.

Even though he does not hold an official position, Xing Yuesen's status has risen sharply, breaking away from the merchant class and becoming a serious Jinshi master.

Seeing Xu Yi's great joy, everyone knew that Xing Yuesen had brought good news, which must mean that he had passed the Jinshi examination.

Even so, A Xu and the others hurriedly asked: "Did Xing Langjun win the Jinshi?"

"Yes." Xu Yi told them, "He is the 112th."

A Xu and A Jin's eyes widened. For them, Master Jinshi is out of reach.

A Xu thought of something and asked blankly: "In the future, we can no longer call Mr. Xing, but we have to change our name to Mr. Xing?"

"Pfft."

Xu Yi laughed.

"It's time to change your words." With a deep smile in his eyes, he immediately clapped his hands and said to A Xu, "I want someone to bring a gift to express my congratulations. Go ask the Yan family if they are willing to take this trip. Heading to Kyoto."

A Xu took the order and hurried out again.

Since it was a congratulatory gift to Xing Yuesen, Xu Yi didn't want to be like others and only give gold and silver jewelry.

For Xing Yuesen, these things will not be lacking after he becomes a Jinshi, but he will worry about how to refuse such a big gift.

Xu Yi knew Xing Yuesen's personality very well, and also knew how stressed he was in recent years. He always sent him a bunch of Anshen Pills because of this.

Xu Yi was a little worried about the tranquilizing pills prescribed by other doctors.

Xu Yi thought to himself that the last time he sent the Anshen Pills was two months ago. Come to think of it, the Anshen Pills have long been used up.

The top-grade agarwood found in the deep mountains has almost been used.

Xu Yi found out the remaining top-quality agarwood and a small piece. He weighed it with a medicinal scale and found that it weighed four taels of Songjin.

These four taels can still make hundreds of pills, but next time I want to make calming pills, I have to find a new top-quality agarwood.

Xu Yi put on his collar and rolled up his sleeves, and started grinding the medicinal materials without using anyone else's hands.

Soon, A Xu came back with the answer from the Yan family brother. He said: "Guan Yan said that he would like to ask Lang Jun to go there in person to discuss the matter."

"Okay, you write a post and tell me that I will come to your door in three days. " Visit." Xu Yi nodded and said with a smile.

After that, he prescribed a prescription and ordered Ah Jin to go to the medical clinic to get the medicine.

Erqing wanted to follow, but he stopped him and asked him if he knew if there were any foxes in the mountains of Zhaohua. He wanted to hunt some good furs.

"Kyoto in winter is not as cold as in Shuzhong. It's very cold. Brother Xing needs money everywhere there." Xu Yi frowned and recalled, "I remember hearing before that things in Kyoto are expensive, so the same brocade "

The price of brocade, silk and other fine materials that are abundant in Shu has doubled after they were shipped to Shuntian Mansion and Yingtian Mansion, and furs are even more expensive, only for the powerful. Only then can you afford it.

Although the Xing family is engaged in silk business, good fur materials are hard to find. At first, among the few of them, only Xin Shengyuan had an excellent white fox fur. Later, Xu Yi also had a red fox scarf, but when he was away from home, Xu Yi I have always been low-key, so I don’t wear this red fox scarf often.

If they could prepare a few and send them to Xing Yuesen, he could give them away.

When Erqing heard that he wanted to buy furs, he immediately said, "I met a hunter outside the city and he had some."

Xu Yi became interested and asked with a smile, "Do you know what kind of furs they are?"

Erqing said He shook his head and said, "I just heard him mention it last time. I don't know how many there are and which ones they are."

After hearing what he said, Xu Yi wanted to go with him.

In order to know as soon as possible whether Orion had the fur he wanted, Xu Yi followed Erqing and Xiao Huang and got on the donkey cart to set off.

After the donkey cart left the city, it traveled eastward for more than ten miles, and then saw a scattering of low-rise houses.

Erqing pointed to a thatched house somewhere and shouted: "Doctor Xu, that house is the Orion."

"Woof woof woof~"

Suddenly, the lying Xiao Huang stood up and barked vigilantly into the distance.

Xu Yi looked over there and saw a patch of grass half as tall as a man. He couldn't see clearly what was inside.

But Xiao Huang suddenly barked, there must be something there.

He said to Er Qing: "You're in the car, I'll go take a look."

Er Qing was a little worried about him. He grabbed the wooden bow in his hand and said nervously: "Doctor Xu, I'd better go."

Xu Yi glanced at his youthful face and smiled. He would not let a child become a detective.

He waved his hand and told Erqing to stay in the car, while Xu Yi took Xiao Huang and walked towards the grass.

Before he had walked a few steps, Xu Yi heard a weak groan. He frowned and walked over quickly, pushing aside the grass blocking his view.

In the grass, there was a thin boy who looked to be less than ten years old. He was wearing a gray cotton shorts, showing his thin arms and legs. One of his legs was in a weird posture, half of the bone was broken and penetrated the flesh, revealing a terrifying Exposed wounds.

The leg bones were dense and dazzling.

Xu Yi looked at the young man's pale and colorless face and his unconscious state. He didn't have time to think too much, jumped down from the grass and carefully picked him up.

Erqing saw this scene and jumped out of the car in horror and ran over.

Soon, he saw the young man's appearance clearly and exclaimed: "Xiao Shan???"

Xu Yi suddenly raised his head and looked at him: "Do you know him?"

Er Qing nodded heavily and said very quickly: "He is who I said. Ah Jin and I have both seen him when we went hunting in the mountains, and we saw him following the hunter. It's strange, why is he here? "

It's not far from where the boy was injured, a few dozen kilometers away . The next step is Orion's home.

Xu Yi said calmly: "Send it over first."

"Okay."

Erqing took one look at the frightening wound and knew that this matter could not be delayed. He quickly took a step towards Xu Yi and ran to knock on Orion's door.

Not long after, the hunter came out shouting. He saw Erqing and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are here to hunt again..."

Halfway through his words, he noticed Xu Yi coming up behind him and saw the girl in his arms. The man's eyes widened immediately.

"Xiaoshan?!" Orion raised his voice, "Xiaoshan, what's wrong with you?"

Erqing said hurriedly: "I brought Dr. Xu to find you. When I was approaching your house, I found him in the grass in front of you."

Xu Yi said : "Let us enter the house first."

"Okay, okay." Orion let them in in a panic and took Xu Yi to Xiaoshan's house.

Xu Yi put the child in his arms on the bed and raised his eyes to look at him: "Do you have clean cotton cloth and wooden boards at home?"

Orion shouted "Yes", and then looked at his brother's shocking wound. Both hands were Trembling, he thought about Erqing saying that the man in front of him was a doctor, and immediately begged Xu Yi to save Xiaoshan.

"I'll do my best." Xu Yi said and asked him to get the cotton cloth.

Then, he directed Erqing to fetch a basin of clean water.

And he returned to the donkey cart, took out the medicine box in the carriage, and found some medicinal materials in the cage where the medicinal materials were placed.

Xiaoshan's fracture was very serious, and it looked like it was broken violently, but there were no other wounds on his body, only a few purple abrasions around the broken bone.

Xu Yi touched it lightly with his hand, and Xiaoshan cried out in pain unconsciously, making his brother, an eight-foot-tall man, have red eyes.

Xu Yi didn't stop, taking a handkerchief and dipping it into honeysuckle water, and washed away all the dirt and grass clippings around the wound.

After washing out a large area of ​​deep red blood, Xu Yi asked Erqing to change the water.

Although Er Qing had killed a lot of prey during hunting, facing his master...he had never seen such a bloody scene, and his legs became weak unconsciously.

He gritted his teeth, suppressed panic and fear, ran out with water, and brought a new basin into the house.

The second basin of water quickly turned red. At this time, Xu Yi finally cleaned up the blood from the wound.

All that's left is to set the bones.

With an open wound like this, it is almost impossible to restore it to its original state after the bones are reattached, and it is destined to leave a horrific scar.

Xu Yi didn't think about it for the time being. He said to Orion, "Press his hands and don't let him move." Then, he said to Er Qing, "Press this leg, do you understand?"

Orion and Erqing nodded nervously: "Understood."

After they complied, Xu Yi took a deep breath and sprinkled anesthetic on the wound. He calculated that the time was about the same. After the medicine took effect, Xu Yi began to touch the direction of the broken bone with both hands. Pull it back with a little force.

Even with the anesthetic, Xiao Shan still woke up from the pain.

His eyes were blurred, and tears fell. He lay in his brother's arms, moaning and shouting: "Brother...brother..."

Orion replied to him distressedly: "Brother is here, brother is here, how are you Xiaoshan?" Come on, wake up and look at me."

Xiaoshan was confused, and when he heard his brother's voice, he said weakly: "Brother... I, it hurts..."

Xu Yi watched the scene in silence. , and continued to treat Xiao Shan’s wounds.

He took out the powder to stop bleeding and reduce swelling, sprinkled the powder on the entire wound, wrapped it in cotton cloth, fixed the board, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"This wound is serious. You have to be careful tonight not to let him have a high fever." Xu Yi said, turned around and came to the table and chair nearby, sat down and started writing prescriptions.

"I'll write a prescription for Xiaoshan. You go grab the medicine and boil it, and give it to him an hour later."

After hearing this, Orion looked back slowly. He stood up excitedly and solemnly thanked Xu Yi.

"If it weren't for you, I, I wouldn't have known that Xiaoshan fainted in the grass. If I had found out, Xiaoshan would have been...I'm afraid..." Orion's voice was choked, and he didn't dare to think about it further.

He and his younger brother depend on each other for life. If something happens to his younger brother, how should he explain to his deceased parents.

Xu Yi helped him up, put down the changing medicine powder and muscle-stimulating ointment, and asked him to take good care of the patient.

They came to visit another day.

Orion listened to the meaning of his words and hurriedly stopped him: "I wonder what Dr. Xu came here with Brother Erqing to do with me?"

Xu Yi didn't hide anything, and asked him: "Do you have good furs in your hands?" "?"

Orion said: "Yes!"

He asked Xu Yi to wait for a while, turned around and walked out of Xiaoshan's house, went to his own room, and found a huge baggage in the cabinet where things were placed.

Orion came back with the bundle and opened it to Xu Yi: "These are all the furs I have saved over the past few years. I originally planned to keep them for Xiaoshan. Now that you have saved Xiaoshan's life, these furs should be used to thank Dr. Xu." A life-saving grace."

Xu Yi frowned slightly as he looked at some very good-looking fox furs inside. "It's

not much." Orion shouted anxiously when he didn't accept it. These skins are nothing compared to Xiaoshan's life! If you hadn't taken action just now, Xiaoshan's legs would have been useless."

Xu Yi felt a little moved.

Seeing that he still refused to accept it, Orion became even more anxious.

He wanted to kneel down and beg Xu Yi to accept it: "Doctor Xu, just accept it. After you accept it, can you come and see the hill tomorrow?"

Xu Yi sighed and motioned to Erqing to take the baggage.

He said: "Don't worry, I will heal Xiaoshan's injury."

With Xu Yi's words, Orion cried with joy and wiped his tears. He looked at his brother lying on the bed and clenched his fists.

That night.

Xiaoshan took the decoction under the care of Orion. He hasn't woken up yet, but fortunately he didn't have any fever after taking the medicine.

This made Orion breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Erqing followed Xu Yi back to the city in a daze. He got out of the car with his baggage in his arms, looked at Xu Yi who looked indifferent, and thought, isn't Dr. Xu afraid?

Everyone would be afraid of wounds like that.

Xu Yi saw a strange look on his face and thought he was scared, so he asked, "Still thinking about Xiaoshan?"

Erqing nodded, then shook his head: "Doctor Xu, do you often encounter this kind of situation?"

Xu Yi He laughed: "Not much."

Erqing was confused and asked: "Then why are you not afraid?"

Xu Yi said: "Because I am a doctor."
