Chapter 190

Ada took care of his younger brother for one night, until daylight broke out. Xiaoshan opened his eyes uncomfortably. When he saw his brother, the corners of his mouth turned down and he cried out: "Brother..."

"Xiaoshan, you He finally woke up!" Ada heard the cry and touched his head in surprise. He looked at his brother with a sour look and asked him what happened yesterday.

"You said you were going to dig some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain and come back. Why are you injured like this? Did you meet a thief?" Ada thought in panic. Although their village is at the foot of the mountain, the surroundings are peaceful, especially the most arrogant and domineering Li. The eldest son was also arrested by the village chief and sent to the county town to study.

Even if he was in the village, he would only make small troubles and would not cause such a life.

When Xiaoshan heard his brother ask this, he whispered a little: "I, I wanted to dig wild vegetables, but suddenly I saw a hare, and I wanted to catch it..."

The hare ran too fast. , Xiaoshan chased after him without thinking.

When he came back to his senses, he noticed that he accidentally ran into a place that his brother had warned not to enter. Xiaoshan was a little scared and wanted to go back, but he didn't expect to meet a mountain wolf halfway.

The mountain wolf looks very similar to the fox, but it is much more ferocious. It is not afraid of him and is still chasing him. The hill accidentally stepped on a rotten tree that fell to the ground and fell down from a high place.

Xiaoshan rubbed his tearful eyes and shouted: "Brother, I never dare to run into the mountains alone again."

The pain when he broke his leg was so painful that he thought he was going to die, but there were mountain wolves behind him, and Xiaoshan held back his will. I dragged my legs back with all my strength. When I was almost home, I couldn't hold on any longer and fell into the grass.

After hearing this, Ada was frightened for a while. He quickly hugged his brother, patted his back and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Xiaoshan, you won't die."

Xiaoshan's whole head was pressed against his brother's shoulder, tightly. grabbed his arm.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at A Da: "Brother, did you save me?"

A Da Dao said: "It's Dr. Xu. Dr. Xu was brought by Er Qing. He happened to find Dr. Xu lying in the grass halfway. Fortunately, you have them, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do. "

Er Qing?" Xiao Shan looked down at his injured leg, which was wrapped with wooden boards and strips of cloth. From time to time, he felt throbbing pain, but it was nothing compared to yesterday.

"Can my leg get better?" Xiaoshan asked with his head lowered.

"It's okay, I will take good care of Xiaoshan." Ada stood up and made breakfast for him. He added two handfuls of firewood to cook the rice porridge, then turned around and said, "Xiaoshan, just heal your injury and you will be as good as before. I'm done."

Xiaoshan didn't have any strength and his legs hurt. He leaned on the bed and watched his brother busy back and forth.

My eyes became blurry somehow.

He raised his hand and wiped his face with tears.

Ada didn't know how to make complicated meals. He cooked the porridge, threw in the chopped bacon, stirred it, and waited until the flavor of the bacon came out, then it was ready to eat.

"I need to cook some chicken to make up for it." Ada muttered to himself, making sure that there was still fire in the stove. He quickly went to get two chickens, put them in a bowl and steamed them in the pot on top. .

The smoke filled the air. Ada waved his hand and coughed a few times. He waited anxiously for the chicken to be steamed, then took out the hot pottery bowl with his bare hands. He walked quickly into the room, sweating all over while cooking. .

"Xiaoshan, you can eat." Ada put the small wooden table on the bed and said, "Brother, feed it to you."

Xiaoshan blushed and refused his brother's kindness: "My hand is not broken..."

"Okay, you can do it yourself. Let’s eat. Brother, go get some water and come back.” Ah laughed, turned around and went out with his load.

...

Xu Yi promised to come over to see Xiao Shan yesterday, so after having breakfast, he took Er Qing out.

A Jin said: "Mr. Lang won't take us with you?"

Xu Yi thought for a while and said: "I prepared the tranquilizing pills for Brother Xing. The pills haven't been ground yet. You two are staying in the inn. Don't go anywhere." "It's just some medicinal materials, "

Ajin said. "Don't worry. My brother and I will make a good preparation and won't go anywhere.

"

Erqing sent Xu Yi to Orion's house. Orion was not there and the door was open, so Xu Yi asked Erqing to shout inside the house. If Xiaoshan woke up, they would go in. If no one answered, they would wait outside the courtyard.

Fortunately, Xiaoshan had just eaten porridge and steamed chicken. His legs were hurting and he couldn't fall asleep. He heard someone calling him and responded.

"Brother Erqing?" he shouted in a loud voice.

Erqing looked happy: "Xiaoshan, are you awake? Then I will bring Dr. Xu in."

"Yeah." Xiaoshan responded, then thought about it, and found that when he held his arms, the broken leg hurt and moved. No.

With a grimace on his face, he could only give up.

When Xu Yi followed Er Qing in, what he saw was that he was about to get off the bed.

"Don't get out of bed these days, otherwise it will be difficult to heal your injured leg." Xu Yi reminded, carrying the medicine box and walking forward, taking out the pulse pillow to give him a follow-up examination.

Xiao Shan was in a coma yesterday and had not seen him before. He looked at Xu Yi a little strange now, but when Xu Yi asked him to stretch out his hand, he subconsciously stretched it out.

Xu Yi grabbed his wrist and took his pulse, and then said: "The pulse is slippery and too fast. This is caused by the injury to the root bone which is not fully healed and the blood is blocked."

Looking at Xiaoshan's dazed eyes, he knew that the child did not understand. , then added, "It won't be a problem. Once you cultivate yourself, you can walk."

Sure enough, when these words came out, Xiaoshan had a reaction: "Doctor Xu, when will I feel better?"

"It could be as fast as two months, or as slowly as half a year. ." Xu Yi said.

Ada came back carrying water. When he saw the donkey cart outside the courtyard, he knew that Doctor Xu and Erqing were coming.

He quickened his pace, put the bucket in the yard and walked in. Hearing what Xu Yi said, he was surprised: "Doctor Xu, how long does it take for you?"

Xu Yi looked back at him: "Well, your brother's fracture is not an ordinary fracture. "

He came today not just to check on Xiaoshan's condition, but also to change Xiaoshan's dressing, and to teach Ada how to change Xiaoshan's dressing in the future.

"Clean the wound every day. Do you remember the honeysuckle I left for you? You can find it in the mountains too. If you don't know it, you should go to the hospital to buy it." After Xu Yi asked Ada, he took the honeysuckle and asked Erqing to burn it. Come back with a pot.

After the boiled honeysuckle water is cooled, it can replace iodophor to clean the wound.

"Just wash off the ointment on it, don't wash it too much."

"The flesh and blood here hasn't grown yet, so be gentle when washing. If it hurts, apply some anesthetic. Not too much, just the size of a fingernail. Apply it on both sides of the wound. It will take effect in a few seconds."

"This is life . Apply the muscle ointment, re-bandage the wound, and fix the board."

"..."

Xu Yi explained to Ada in detail how to fix the board. He stopped and continued, "Half a month. Don't get out of bed, but you need to massage your legs so that they don't become numb, and you have to turn over to sleep, otherwise the flesh will rot easily."

He said it was a bit harsh, and the two brothers nodded quickly, not daring to listen.

This scared Xiaoshan so much that he swore on the spot that he would never run around again.

In the next few days, Xu Yi would take time to come over to check on Xiaoshan's wound recovery.

Seeing that his wound was recovering well and there was no rot or necrosis, the two of them also followed the doctor's instructions and did not mess around. Judging from this situation, Xiaoshan will be able to recover to the point where he can move around normally in less than three months.

During this period, Xu Yi also went to the Yan family to discuss the bid with Yan Jingming, the elder brother of the Yan family.

The things he wanted to entrust were pills, ointments, medicinal powders, furs, etc. These things didn't sound cheap just by hearing it.

Yan Jingming was grateful for his treatment of Wen Shujin, but business was business, and he had a group of mark masters and cattle and horses to raise, so he couldn't let his brothers who followed him suffer a loss because of this family matter.

"Doctor Xu, if you want me to take this trip to the Yan family, we are happy to take it." Yan Jingming said, "It's just that Kyoto is far away, so I'm afraid we won't be able to save the fare for this round trip."

Xu Yi said: " Brother Yan, just tell me how much you want."

Yan Jingming felt a little ashamed when he saw him being so frank, but he quickly calmed down and quoted a fair price impartially.

Xu Yi was very satisfied with the price, so he settled on it immediately and paid part of the deposit.

Next, just wait until they have everything ready, and then they can entrust it to the Yan family's labeller.

Xu Yi and Yan Jingming discussed the matter, and the two came out of the study talking and laughing. Yan Jingming said that he wanted to see him off, but Yan Quyue appeared out of nowhere.

"I'm here to see Doctor Xu off." Yan Quyue stood on the wooden post next to the corridor, raised her chin towards Xu Yi and the others, and then explained with a smile, "I have something to ask Doctor Xu, brother will agree to it, right?" ?"

Yan Jingming: "..."

He coughed twice, warning his sister not to mess around, and then looked at Xu Yi with a smile.

Xu Yi saw the meaning in his eyes, he was letting him make his own decision.

He bowed his hand, showing respect rather than obeying orders.

The weeds on the roadside were green and unknown flowers were blooming. Xu Yi and Yan Quyue sat in the donkey cart again. This time, Ah Jin was still accompanying them.

In this era, poor people are struggling to make a living every day. At this time, the civilian streets in the south of the city are especially quiet.

The chirping cicadas and the roaring tea stove reluctantly interrupted this moment of silence.

Xu Yi poured tea for Yan Quyue and took the initiative to ask: "Miss Yan said she had something to ask me, what did she mean?"

The weather turned hot, so Yan Quyue changed into a light gauze dress. She likes to look gorgeous but not seductive. Color, the shirt and skirt are apricot red and goose yellow.

When he was sitting on the futon, his waist and shoulders were straight and his temperament was excellent. When looking at people with those almond-shaped eyes, he seemed to be hiding many words.

Yan Quyue thought about what she wanted to ask, and blushes appeared on her cheeks, but everyone was here. If she didn't ask this time, she didn't know when she would get the chance next time.

She took a breath, stared at Xu Yi with her almond-shaped eyes and asked, "Doctor Xu, do you have a sweetheart?"

After hearing her words clearly, Xu Yi's head buzzed.

He looked at the girl in front of him. She was nineteen years old, with handsome features and a feminine tenderness.

Xu Yi could tell that it took some courage for the girl to say this.

He smiled and said: "There was none before."

Yan Quyue was stunned and asked him subconsciously: "Is there now?"

Xu Yi's eyes softened for a moment and said: "Yes, there is."

Yan Quyue faced him. Her eyes hurriedly turned away, something was beating in her heart, and she said: "In that case, I won't send Doctor Xu off."

Xu Yi raised his hands to support his forehead and nodded with a smile.

"I'll see you off, Miss Yan."

"Okay."

On the side, Ah Jin looked at them with difficulty in speaking.

They had just left the Yan family, and less than a quarter of an hour later, they were back again.

...

It's raining in summer, and the scenery in front of the inn window is misty. The rain falls on the banana trees, splashing water in circles.

Xu Yi sat leaning against the window, mist rising from the celadon teacup in his hand.

"Lang Jun, it's been raining for several days in a row, and I don't know when it will stop."

A Xu and the others looked out the window with their chins in boredom. In addition to the misty rain, there was also a gray sky, and The houses hidden in the fog could not be seen clearly, and Xu Yi didn't get tired of seeing them for so many days.

Xu Yi glanced at the sky and calculated, "It's going to rain for another two or three days."

"Ah - why does it have to rain again?" Ah Jin screamed, she was almost going crazy from the stay.

Looking at Xu Yi who was still enjoying the rainy scenery calmly, she said, "Mr. Lang, do you want to play chess?"

Xu Yi said, "Okay."

It had been a long time since he had played chess, and his hands were a little itchy.

A Xu quickly brought the chessboard, and A Jin sat across from Xu Yi and called her to hold the black pieces.

Heizi went first, and Ah Jin wanted to seize the opportunity. Xu Yi gave in to her like a child and raised his hand to indicate her position.

Ah Jin thought for a while and placed a position away from the main board. Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and followed her moves calmly.

A stick of incense passed, and the chessboard was filled with chessboards.

A Jin's eyebrows and eyes were filled with smiles, and he joked: "What happened to Lang Jun today? He has regressed so much. Is it because he is not calm?"

Xu Yi smiled and asked her to look carefully.

Then, in front of Ah Jin, he placed the white stones on the board. In the blink of an eye, the chess game changed instantly. The black stones that had the upper hand were captured one by one.

Ah Jin opened his eyes wide: "!!!"

"Lang Jun!"

She yelled angrily and flattened the corners of her mouth, "You are playing tricks with me."

Xu Yi corrected her: "This is a tactic."

After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Er Qing and said to him, "A Jin seems to be someone who is willing to bet and refuses to admit defeat. You play with her."

Erqing scratched his ears nervously and said, "Doctor Xu, I, I don't know how to play chess."

Xu Yi said casually: "Let A Jin Teach you."

He stood up and returned to the house casually, leaving the scenery in front of the window to them.

Yan family, in the west room.

Yan Quyue lay lazily in front of the table, looking at the light rain outside the window.

The maid Qiaoqin came into the house carrying a copper incense burner. When she saw her young lady looking forward to spring, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"Sister Yue, why are you still looking at the rain?" Qiaoqin came closer and gently squeezed Yan Quyue's shoulders.

Yan Quyue didn't raise her head and said gloomily: "Why doesn't this rain stop?"

"It's going to stop soon." Qiaoqin said, "Da Langjun said that this rain won't last long, that's why we want it to continue. God will make it stop."

Yan Quyue was amused by her words: "Who taught you to be so talkative?"

Qiaoqin immediately betrayed him: "Uncle Jin, Uncle Jin said that.

" Qu Yue said: "That's all, is the convoy sent by my brother to Kyoto ready to set off?"

Qiao Qin heard this and said: "Sister Yue, I set off earlier during the rain break, led by Uncle Qi. Sister Yue, please rest assured."

The Uncle Qi she was talking about is the senior member of his family's label maker. He is forty-two years old. He wears gray cloth robes all year round, is tall and carries a big knife with him.

Uncle Qi usually favored Yan Quyue the most. Before he even left home, he said he would bring her the most fashionable hairdo from Kyoto.

Yan Quyue didn't care about the flower. She wanted to change to a better knife, but her brother didn't allow it, so she had to give up.

Qiaoqin knew about this. Seeing that she was still depressed, she didn't know how to persuade her. She waited quietly for a while before she came up with an idea: "Sister Yue, do you want to go out?"

Yan Quyue looked at her with eyes. , waiting for her next words.

Qiaoqin said: "The big man won't let you go out, so why don't we go through the back door? Xiao Qi is guarding the door today. He always listens to you."

Yan Quyue squinted her eyes, thinking of someone, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

She smiled at Qiaoqin Yingying and said, "Just stay in the house. If my sister-in-law comes to see me, tell me to take a rest."

After that, she quickly raised the knife, thought of something before leaving, and returned I took something from the house and put it on, then walked out of the house briskly and headed towards the back door.

"Sister Yue..." Qiaoqin looked at her back and walked away without her, stamping her feet anxiously, but she didn't dare to shout loudly.

You can only watch Yan Quyue's figure getting further and further away.

Yan Quyue went out from the back door with an umbrella, stepped on the puddles on the street, and came to a tea shop.

She ordered a pot of tea, spent some money, called the idle man who was hiding in the corner from the rain, and asked him to run some errands.

Not long after the idle man ran, a man holding a sesame butter paper umbrella and wearing a moon-colored gown appeared in the rain.

Xu Yi put away his umbrella and entered the tea shop. He humbly took the handkerchief from the store, thanked him, and wiped the rainwater splashed on his wide sleeves.

Walking up to Yan Quyue, he saluted: "Mrs. Yan."

Yan Quyue stood up and said with a smile: "Doctor Xu, please sit down.

" Madam, you should wear an extra thin shirt."

Yan Quyue didn't change her clothes when she went out. She was still wearing the cool clothes she wore at home. When she came out, she felt that it was like early spring today and the wind was blowing on her body. With a coolness.

She said: "I practice martial arts on weekdays and it's not cold." After saying that, she turned to look at Xu Yi's clothes and added with a smile, "Doctor Xu only cares about reminding others, but he doesn't wear much."

Xu Yi She took a sip of the crude tea served by the shop and said calmly without hiding anything from her: "I also practice martial arts, so I'm not cold."

"You also practice martial arts?" Yan Quyue was shocked and looked up and down, left and right. Look, "Why doesn't it look like that?"

Xu Yi laughed dumbly. This was not the first time someone thought he didn't know how to do martial arts.

But he wouldn't demonstrate it to everyone, after all, he really didn't have the hobby.

"Do you practice boxing?" Yan Quyue asked curiously, noticing that there was no callus on his hand holding a knife.

Xu Yi nodded: "Well, let's practice boxing."

Before he could finish a word, several people came in to take shelter from the rain. They saw someone in the tea shop and looked at who the young lady in the tea shop was. One of them exclaimed: "Yue" Sister, why are you here? Hey, who is this person?"

Yan Quyue was also surprised when she saw the person coming, and shouted: "Brother Wei, where are you from? I'm meeting friends here. This is Dr. Xu Yi. "My sister-in-law Jin's illness was caused by him."

After hearing this, Wen Wei understood in his heart. He took another look at Xu Yi and thought to himself, this man is quite handsome, but he is not a wise man. .

He saluted Xu Yi, and after saying his name, he took a few people to sit at an empty table beside him and asked for a pot of tea and a few plates of snacks from the store.

With others around, Yan Quyue could only hold back what she wanted to say.

Xu Yi continued to drink tea slowly. It wasn't until the rain stopped and Wen Wei and the others left with no one else around that he turned his attention to Yan Quyue again.

"Do you have something to say?" Yan Quyue looked at him.

Xu Yi nodded and said bluntly: "I have something that I want to give to Miss Yan."

Upon hearing this, Yan Quyue unconsciously put her hand in the pouch at her waist.

While she was staring at Xu Yi opposite him, seeing him sitting upright and very restrained, she suddenly wanted to tease him.

The inexplicable emotions came fiercely and fiercely. The two wanted to look away from each other, but they couldn't look away anxiously.

Yan Quyue's eyelids trembled slightly, and her heart beat violently, but she was reluctant to look away and asked straightforwardly: "What is it?"

Xu Yi's Adam's apple rolled, and he was calm on the surface, but he was panicked and nervous for no reason in his heart.

This was the first time that he had a different kind of affection for someone. After these days of careful consideration, he instinctively wanted to get closer to the person.

When he discovered what he was thinking in his heart, he finally understood what his brother had said to him——

"Xiao Yi, when you find someone you like, you will know what liking means."

Xu Yi said in his heart, "Brother, I already know who I like."

When he saw Miss Yan again, he felt happy Yes, when he heard that she wanted to see him, he still came to keep the appointment despite knowing the difference between men and women.

At this moment, the words are out of my mouth, how can I avoid them.

Xu Yi didn't want to avoid it. He listened to the thumping sound in his heart and said softly: "It's the medicine bag."

Yan Quyue was stunned.

Xu Yi explained: "The medicine bag I personally prepared can ward off snakes and insects when worn on the body

and calm the mind." Yan Quyue's eyebrows were crooked, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she took the medicine bag handed over by Xu Yi according to her heart.

The needlework on this medicine bag is ordinary, and the stitches on it are sometimes thick and thin. It can be seen that the hand making this medicine bag is a bit clumsy. Yan Quyue can tell whose hand it is from. She was surprised to think that he made it all by himself. of.

"Stretch out your hand." Yan Quyue said with a smile towards Xu Yi.

Xu Yi didn't know why, but he also extended his hand.

The next moment, a small wooden handle was placed in the palm of his hand. Xu Yi lowered his eyes and saw a little man with eyes, a nose and a mouth.

Yan Quyue asked: "Does it look like you?"

Xu Yi looked at the wooden man, smiled and said, "It's very similar, you can tell it's me at a glance."

Yan Quyue was very satisfied with the answer and said with a smile : "I just said that my carving skills are not that bad. Do you like this? If you like it, I will carve a Tiger King for you next time."

"I like it very much." Xu Yi put it away and faced her Say, "I'm looking forward to it."

Some things don't need to be said, everything is self-evident.

The two of them exchanged gifts in a polite manner in the tea shop, both feeling a little uneasy, with longing and longing for the future in their hearts.

After returning to the inn, Xu Yi couldn't help but walk back and forth. No, he had to write a letter in running script and send it back to Yanting.

The letter was sent before the rain stopped.

A few days later, Mrs. Chen, who was far away in Yanting, received a letter from Xu Yi. After reading the letter, she excitedly picked up her skirt and hurried to find Zhang Tiegou and Li Mengniang.

"Godmother, what happened?" Li Mengniang was feeding porridge to her sister in her arms. When she saw Mrs. Chen coming over eagerly, she stood up with her child in her arms with some worry.

Mrs. Chen shouted: "Something big has happened!"

Li Mengniang was startled and quickly ordered someone to call Zhang Tiegou.

When Zhang Tiegou arrived anxiously, he saw that Mrs. Chen and Li Mengniang were both smiling, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you tell me it was a big deal?"

Li Mengniang pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It is indeed a big deal."
