Chapter 20

The conversation stopped suddenly, and Xu Yi and Xing Yuesen both turned to look at him. Xing Yuesen

frowned: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Xu Yi said: "He has always been here."

He denied it with his mouth: "This is the morning market, not your Xing family's property. What does my standing here have to do with you."

After saying this, he proudly puffed out his arrogant chest.

Xing Yuesen: "..."

What a slap in the face. This kid is getting older and thicker now. He is no longer as angry as a koi fish after just a few words. He bulges his cheeks, puffs his sleeves and leaves. .

Xu Yi smiled lightly and said nothing. He could see that the two of them seemed to have no dealings with each other and liked to trouble each other for no reason, but they were always noisy and noisy, just like quarreling with children.

It was impossible to ignore someone as big as Xin Shengyuan, so Xu Yi let him continue to stand there and listen, continuing to tell Xing Yuesen the unfinished allusions to the previous dynasty.

Nowadays, most of the imperial examinations use familiar allusions to illustrate, but in the later imperial examinations, those allusions were written badly by the predecessors. What Xu Yi said is what he often hears in modern times, but is rarely encountered by people nowadays.

Otherwise, the two of them would not have been so fascinated.

There were more and more people coming and going in the morning gathering.

Xu Yi's stall is located in a relatively remote location. In the past half hour, no one has come to ask about Xiaoshi Wan.

He didn't care. He talked too much and felt thirsty, so he ordered Xin Shengyuan to buy three bowls of sweet soup.

Xin Shengyuan said flatly: "Why don't you ask him to buy it?" He pointed to Xing Yuesen next to him.

Xing Yuesen was delighted: "Who is standing there unwilling to leave, listening to what others say? A gentleman should not see or listen to what is inappropriate. You have been reading for so many years, but where have you gone?"

Xin Shengyuan choked, a little distressed . He frowned, not knowing whether he should obediently buy sweet soup.

Xu Yi said, "If you go and buy it, I'll wait for you to come back before continuing."

"Okay, I'll come back as soon as I go." Xin Shengyuan left after saying that.

Xing Yuesen did not continue to ask urgently. Instead, he flicked his gown and waited leisurely.

"It seems you don't really hate that young Master Xin." Xu Yi said with a smile.

Xing Yuesen did not deny: "I can't say he's annoying, he's just a bit squeamish and can't be scolded, which makes people a bit annoying."

Xu Yi: "..."

He looked at the small stalls around him. People were setting up stalls. Like Xu Yi, they simply spread out a straw mat and put the goods on it, or they pushed a cart and put the items for sale on it. There were also cloth strips and wooden boards hung on the cart frame, and they wrote "such-and-such food" and "such-and-such stuff" wait.

Most of the people who come to the market are well-dressed maids, mothers, and boys, little girls wearing tent hats who don’t show their faces, and men dressed in long gowns...

They are generous and buy a lot, and the stall owners They smile respectfully and say auspicious words, and they can get two or three rewards.

Xu Yi looked away, and Xin Shengyuan came back carrying the exquisite wooden box.

He went to the teahouse next to the Chenghuang Temple to buy a fragrant pear drink. It was boiled with pear flesh until it was thick, and added with honey, pear petals, and white sesame seeds.

It smells of pear and flowers, and tastes sweet and refreshing, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

The three of them each took a bowl and enjoyed the delicious sweet soup leisurely. Before they finished drinking, they suddenly heard a noise not far away.

Immediately afterwards, many people ran towards the direction of the sound.

After a while, someone shouted, "We're going to die!"

"What's going on?" Xin Shengyuan stretched his neck and looked at the crowd of onlookers curiously.

And Xu Yi has already stepped forward quickly and squeezed into the crowd.

Xin Shengyuan said "Huh?" and just when he was about to ask Xing Yuesen what he was doing, he saw Xing Yuesen also running away.

"...Ah, wait for me."

...

In the middle of the crowd, there lay an old man with twitching eyes, a purple complexion, a crooked mouth and clenched teeth.

Next to the old man knelt a bewildered old woman. The old man still had some consciousness, and his calloused palms held the old woman's hand tightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was too painful to say anything.

The old woman cried and called him, while kneeling down and begging the onlookers: "Please...please help me... wake up, you must not sleep..."

As she cried, the crowd around her became more and more popular. Come more and more.

Many people are talking about it.

"What's wrong with this old man?"

"Oh, I was setting up a stall next door, and this old man suddenly winced and leaned to the side. No, he fell to the ground and looked like he was dying."

"This... is so pitiful. "Oh."

"I think I'm sick. I don't know what it is."

"Has anyone called a doctor?"

"..."

No one responded to this question. If you don't know anyone, how can you ask a doctor for help? come over.

Xu Yi frowned and observed the old man's condition silently. Judging from his complexion and symptoms, he probably had high blood pressure.

The old man looked to be no more than forty or fifty years old, and he was the backbone of the family. If he collapsed like this, the family would probably lose one person who could earn money to support the family.

As a doctor, Xu Yi really couldn't sit back and watch.

After weighing the situation, he saw that the old woman was trying to pull the old man up, and he hurriedly shouted: "No!"

He suddenly shouted, startling Xin Shengyuan who finally squeezed to the side.

Others also looked at Xu Yi and saw that he was a teenage boy, and they were all confused.

Xu Yi took a deep breath and said, "I am a wandering doctor. Can this old woman let me heal you?"

"...you?" The old woman hesitated for a moment, because this young man was too young.

Xing Yuesen also reacted and immediately said: "Old woman, you can trust him, but if this situation is not treated in time, I am afraid that there will be no way to save it. Why don't you give him a try, and I will help you pay for the consultation fees and medicinal materials."

"Yes. " , I can’t even see it anymore, what if I can save it?”

"It's better to treat a dead horse as a living doctor. It's like this anyway..."

After listening to the persuasion of the people around her, the old woman gritted her teeth and knelt down in front of Xu Yi without hesitation, crying: "Please help me, doctor, I am willing to do it." It's like a cow..."

Xu Yi stopped her and said solemnly: "I will do my best, but I also ask you to step aside."

As soon as he finished speaking, the onlookers gave up space sparsely, leaving Xu Yi and the old man behind. Still in place.

The old man was half lying on his side. Xu Yi quickly and carefully placed him on his back, then picked up the small stool next to him and propped his head up.

Then, he knelt down and checked the pulse with one hand. He leaned over the old man's chest with the other hand and listened to the heartbeat.

"What is he doing?" Xin Shengyuan had never seen such a scene before, and asked Xing Yuesen next to him in confusion.

Xing Yuesen glared at him: "Quiet."

Xin Shengyuan pursed his lips and shut them obediently.

Everyone else subconsciously held their breath until Xu Yi raised his head to look at the old woman and asked her a few questions about the old man.

"Have you been dizzy recently?"

"Yes, yes. He told me in the past two days that he sometimes gets very dizzy, but gets better soon."

"How is your sleep?"

"No...not too sure. "

What about eating?"

"It's normal. He has a good appetite recently and can eat two bowls of rice .
