Chapter 204

Because the rain was falling intermittently and the weather was uncertain, it was difficult to tell when the rain would stop. Xu Yi simply left the cowhide shed he brought with him at the tea shop, so that he would not have to carry it out with him all the time during the days of setting up the stall.

He wanted to give the money to the tea shop owner, but the tea shop owner didn't take it: "I have benefited a lot from that pot of good tea. I am really lucky in my life. How can I take your money again?"

Xu Yi laughed: " How can this be confused? Besides, I gave the tea to my father-in-law and it has nothing to do with this matter."

But even if he said this, the tea shop owner still refused to accept any money. Xu Yi wanted to say something more, but he got angry. Yelled.

His wife was afraid that his temper would get worse and Xu Yi would be unhappy, so she quickly smoothed things over: "Doctor Xu, please don't take the money. Besides, this cowhide shed doesn't take up much space. We also took the money you used to set up the stall. If you take any more money, it won't be justified." "

Now that she and her husband have minor ailments, they can go to Dr. Xu to see a doctor and take care of themselves.

As they get older, their bodies are not as strong as before. When they come home from a tiring day, they either have back pain or leg soreness, which is not what it used to be.

Seeing that they insisted on doing this, Xu Yi could only put the money back.

He took A Xu to say goodbye to the tea shop couple and got on the donkey cart back to the rented yard.

A Xu was not at home, so the cooking tasks fell on A Jin and Yan Quyue. Yan Quyue only knew how to light the fire and pick the leaves, but A Jin had to cook.

Not long after Xu Yi and the others set up their stall, Ah Jin took Xiao Huang and Er Qing to the outside of the city. They went to the inn to send a letter, then went back to the mountains to hunt pheasants.

When he came back, Erqing carried the pheasant into the kitchen, killed it in a few strokes, boiled water, scalded and plucked the feathers.

The next work will be left to Ah Jin.

When Xu Yi and the others arrived, thick smoke was rising from the chimney, and the tempting aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen window.

A Xu put down the stool in his hand in surprise and ran to the kitchen to see what was going on.

"A Xu, are you back?" Yan Quyue popped her head out of the stove and looked out the door, "Where is your husband?"

A Xu called "Madam" and replied, "Mr. Lang is outside. "I'm here to see Ah Jin cooking." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and ran to the water tank to scoop out water and wash his hands.

Ah Jin, who was dancing with a spoon, turned his head, his eyes were bright, and he said excitedly: "Brother, come and see the fried chicken with mushrooms I made. The mushrooms are delicious. Erqing and I picked them in the mountains. "

Jiuzi?" A Xu raised his eyebrows.

After the summer rain, fungi will also grow on the mountains, but it is difficult to tell whether they are good or bad.

Xu Yi was sometimes worried about picking poisonous fungi, so he told them not to pick them and eat them easily.

But for hunters, it is common to collect some fungi and eat them. As long as they are cooked, they can eat them.

However, after Erqing got to know Xu Yi and the others, he became more cautious and would not pick mushrooms casually.

If they hadn't seen the fungus growing well today, they wouldn't have picked it back.

"There are ants crawling on this fungus, so it should be fine. Moreover, Erqing has eaten this kind of fungus before and was not poisoned." Ah Jin said seriously because he was afraid that his brother would not let them eat it.

The fire in the stove was burning brightly. A Xu smelled the fragrance and listened to the gurgling sound in the pot. Without saying anything, he asked them to burn it for a while longer.

When he came out again, it started to rain softly in the sky again. A Xu was worried that the stool would get moldy due to the rain, so he quickly returned to the courtyard and moved the stool that had been wetted by the rain into the eaves in front of the house.

He wiped it with a dry rag and heard footsteps in the room behind him. He turned around and saw Xu Yi coming out carrying a table.

"Lang Jun, why did you move the table?" he asked.

"It's raining and it's cool outside, so we'll eat outside tonight." Xu Yi put down the table and asked him to bring some chairs. "Ah Jin made mushroom and chicken pot, and happened to have some leftover peach blossom stuffing from last time. "Bring it here."

The peach blossom wine was sweet and not intoxicating at all.

Even Xu Yi, who didn't like drinking, felt very good after drinking it.

When A Xu heard this, his heart became excited. He dragged the stool into the room and trotted to get the peach blossom stuffed wine in the cage.

In the kitchen, Ah Jin came out with a simmering clay pot. When he saw the table placed outside, he put it on it without thinking.

"Shall we eat out tonight?" she asked.

A Xu nodded: "We still have peach blossom wine to drink today."

"Wow, that's great."

"By the way, why are you back so late?" When Yan Quyue came out, she saw Xu Yi and asked him.

"It was still raining just now, so we took shelter from the rain for a while before closing the stall." Xu Yi explained, looking at her face he smiled unconsciously and asked, "What did you do at home today?"

Yan Quyue looked at him and smiled. He sat down on the chair, propped up his forehead with his palms and said, "I was bored at home. After teasing Tiger King for a while, I went out with my umbrella. There are also several standard stores in Zizhou, and I also went to meet an old acquaintance."

" Who is it?" Xu Yi asked her.

"My brother and I have been to Zizhou before. At that time, there was another team of markmasters traveling with us. They escorted Wu Shi back and passed by Suizhou to join us. I was still young at that time and had a wild temper. She imagined herself to be a martial arts master. "

Back then, there was a young man who was about the same age as her, but not a few years older than her.

She followed him all day long just to compete with him.

Later, because the other party's teacher and his brother tried their best to stop him, Yan Quyue really might start a fight with him.

Thinking about how ignorant she was when she was a child, Yan Quyue said with a nostalgic look: "I went to see it today. The store is still there, so I went to visit the old master."

Xu Yi listened to her talk about her childhood with relish, with a slight smile on her face. Raising upward.

After Yan Quyue said what happened today, she watched Ah Jin lift the lid of the clay pot and the hot smoke floated out. Her eyes lit up and she shouted, "It smells so good."

As she was talking, Xu Yi She picked up a piece of chicken leg and put it in her bowl.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Ah Jin cooking. I never thought I would have such a good meal today." He smiled jokingly.

Others had rarely eaten the food cooked by Ah Jin, and now they realized that not only Ah Xu’s cooking was delicious, but Ah Jin’s cooking skills were also good.

The brother and sister have almost perfect life skills, and they are both good-looking. It is hard to imagine that the parents of such children would be the ones who buy and sell their children.

Speaking of which, there is something fishy here. Xu Yi had suspected there was something wrong with it a long time ago.

He asked Uncle Tang to investigate in private, but unfortunately it took too long and no useful information was found.

Seeing the brother and sister sharing the food happily, Xu Yi smiled gently. No matter what happened in the past, they were living well in the present.

Wild mushrooms are delicious. After being stir-fried with sesame oil, the taste is even more memorable.

While simmering, the mushrooms were filled with the fragrant sauce, and tasted no worse than chicken. The aroma was so tempting that Xiao Huang, who was watching next to him, waggled his tail rapidly.

It barked several times.

Xu Yi only threw a piece of dried meat to it, and did not let Erqing, Ajin and the others secretly feed it such strong-flavored mushroom chicken pot.

Although the price of salt in Sichuan is not expensive, for ordinary people, salt is not a waste of money.

But Xu Yi and the others didn't have to use it hurriedly, so the dishes they cooked were salty and delicious, and not lacking in oily smell.

This kind of food is not suitable for Xiao Huang, who already weighs more than 100 kilograms.

Xu Yi restrained himself intentionally or unintentionally, so that others did not dare to secretly feed Xiao Huang too much.

Xiao Huang finished the dried meat aggrievedly, then raised his head and asked Xu Yi for meat. Xu Yi refused to give it to him. He was very energetic, and seeing that he couldn't get meat, he walked slowly to the pillar next to him with his tail hanging down. I lay down and watched the rain depressedly.

Next to him, Tiger King was lying high on a stool. When he saw it coming, he lazily licked his paws.

...

At this time, there was only one lighting lamp lit in the Bai family's yard. The light under the eaves was dim and no one could see clearly.

Bai Xiujun's family and his brother's family had dinner in the big house. He saw that his brother's face was not good, and his sister-in-law's eyebrows were sad and she was not in a good mood.

After everyone dispersed after dinner, he went for a walk in the courtyard to eat.

After a while, footsteps appeared behind him.

He turned around. It was dark and he couldn't see who was coming.

Until the other party stood a few steps in front of him, saluted and shouted: "Uncle, I have something to say to you."

It turned out to be the eldest brother's son, Bai Jinlin, who is 33 years old this year and the only scholar in the Bai family.

Bai Xiuyun and Bai Jinlin are similar in age and they have a close relationship. Bai Jinlin will always come to him when something happens, and this time is no exception.

The two of them came to Bai Xiuyun's study side by side.

After closing the door, Bai Jinlin couldn't wait to face him and said, "Uncle, do you know what I bumped into in Furen Lane when I came back from school today?"

Bai Xiujun asked with a smile, "What did I bump into?"

"Yes. The doctor is setting up a stall at the tea shop to treat patients," Bai Jinlin said happily.

Bai Xiujun: "..."

He looked at his nephew and asked tentatively: "Isn't it the doctor? Are there too few doctors in Zizhou?"

Bai Jinlin said: "I haven't seen that doctor before. He seems to be from outside. Come, and uncle, you don’t know what’s written on the banner above his stall, only five cents for consultation!”

He had never seen such a rare thing in Zizhou.

Bai Xiujun was a little surprised. He knew that Xu Yi set up a stall at the tea shop. After all, he was the one who made the recommendation. However, he did not expect that the consultation fees charged by the other party for treating patients would be so low.

Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to make money?

Although the Bai family does not deal in medicinal materials and does not treat people, Bai Xiujun is on duty at the dental shop, so he knows the twists and turns here.

Sometimes the drug dealer entrusts them to buy a batch of medicinal materials and then resell them. The profits are doubled and they can earn twice as much money.

It's not that Bai Xiuyun is jealous of the profits, but it's a pity that his family doesn't have this ability. If he can't understand the quality of medicinal materials, there will be many pitfalls if he really wants to buy and sell medicinal materials.

He pulled Bai Jinlin and asked, "When you were looking, did you see anyone at the stall seeing a doctor?"

Bai Jinlin shook his head: "It has been raining since noon. When the rain stops, it will be almost dark."

Hearing this, Bai Xiuyun was stunned. Doesn't that mean that Dr. Xu set up a stall today and hasn't received any patients yet?

Bai Jinlin didn't know what his uncle was thinking, so he continued muttering: "I heard yesterday that my mother went to Qi's house to borrow money. Uncle, tell me, should we change a doctor?"

"Huh? You want to change too?" "Bai Xiuyun was a little surprised.

His nephew, who usually only loves reading, thinks so much.

Bai Jinlin said with shame: "On weekdays, I only know how to study and don't listen to what is going on outside the window. Only then did I realize that my family is no longer what it used to be."

"Don't even think about it. This family will still depend on you in the future." Bai Xiuyun said with a face. With a faint smile on his face, he patted his shoulder and said, "You have done a good job."

Bai Jinlin shook his head, no, he did not do enough.

Since the death of his grandmother, the Bai family has been hollowed out into a shell, but as the eldest son and grandson of this generation, he does not care about these things at all.

One day, his wife reminded him how difficult it was for her to manage the family. And there was never a shortage of pens, inks, paper and inkstones for his reading.

It can be seen how much his family loves him, so much so that even though he is a weakling, he is still so ignorant of worldly affairs.

Bai Jinlin sighed and said, "I'm afraid my mother doesn't want to change doctors. She has great trust in Doctor Shen Liu from Jishi Hall."

Doctor Shen Liu is quite capable. When his father first fell ill, he was really much better after two doses of medicinal decoction. .

Later, he was suspended with medicinal soup, but his father's health did not get any worse, and his illness did not improve much. This made Bai Jinlin hesitate, and he had long wanted to change doctors.

Bai Xiuyun frowned. Both uncle and nephew had this in mind.

"I'll find a way to convince my sister-in-law," he said.

Bai Jinlin was slightly happy and said happily, "Then I'll leave it to my uncle."

"Yes." Bai Xiujun agreed.

...

The rain stopped, and the hazy crescent moon hung in the sky. The night was just right, and Xu Yi and Yan Quyue were playing chess under the eaves.

Less than two games into the game, Ah Jin, who was working as a heroine in the house, clutched her stomach and ran to the hut with cold sweat on her forehead.

After a while, A Xu also held his stomach.

Xu Yi raised his head in confusion and frowned slightly: "Is this because of a bad stomach?"

"We all ate the same thing at night, and we didn't get upset." Yan Quyue said, calling out to Ah Jin with concern and asking her what was wrong.

Ah Jin had a severe stomachache and shook his head aggrievedly.

"I, I haven't eaten anything today."

"Lang Jun, me too." A Xu came out of the hut and said a little exhausted.

Xu Yi said: "Stretch out your hand and I'll show it to you."

Just as he finished speaking, Yan Quyue, who was sitting opposite her, frowned deeply. She stood up from the chair in the next moment. She covered her stomach and said, " Oops, I, my stomach hurts too."

Xu Yi couldn't sit still, and he had abdominal pain and diarrhea one after another. This may not be a simple stomachache.

Thinking of the chicken pot with mushrooms they ate tonight, Xu Yi was a little confused. Could it be that they were poisoned by eating mushrooms?

Before he could think about it, Yan Quyue ran into the hut.

A Xu and A Jin were left in front of them, holding their stomachs weakly and standing unsteadily.

Xu Yi told them to sit down quickly. He held their arms and placed his well-jointed fingers on their wrists to check their pulses.

The pulse is slightly disordered, and the pulse beats faster than usual.

Watching their tongues and lifting their eyelids to check, Xu Yi confirmed the situation.

"You are poisoned by fungus." Xu Yi thought of the key point and asked, "Didn't you buy this fungus in the market today?"

After hearing this, Ah Jin let out a shocked "ah" and said in a panic, "Er Qing and I picked it back from the mountain."

Xu Yi: "..."

He sighed lightly.

Erqing, who was standing anxiously next to him, became even more panicked and said fearfully: "Doctor Xu, it was me, I caused everyone to be poisoned. What should I do? Doctor Xu, please save Ah Jin, I..." "

Listen to me. "Xu Yi raised his hand and stopped what he said.

He said: "You reach out first."

Erqing Liushen had no master, so he could only extend his hand to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi took hold of him and felt his pulse for a while, and determined that he also had signs of poisoning, but the symptoms were not obvious, so he asked him if he was dizzy or hallucinating.

Erqing shook his head repeatedly. He didn't have any symptoms.

Xu Yi said: "Since you have no symptoms, then go to the kitchen and bring two pieces of ginger, a can of bean paste, and a bottle of sesame oil."

After giving his instructions, while waiting for Yan Quyue to come out, he also thought for himself He took a pulse in his wrist. Xu Yi's situation is very similar to Erqing's, but his pulse is a little more stable.

Immediately he got up and returned to the house, opened the box and took out the pottery bowl for mixing the ointment.

After that, he took out the pottery steamer that had not been used since arriving in Zizhou.

Under the eaves outside the house, A Xu and A Jin were still holding their stomachs in pain. They wanted to struggle to get up to help, but Xu Yi shouted back with a serious look.

Seeing how uncomfortable they were, Xu Yi took a deep breath and looked at Yan Quyue who came out of the hut.

Yan Quyue's condition is no better than the two of them. She likes to eat mushrooms. She ate a lot of mushrooms tonight. Now her face is pale and fine beads of sweat ooze from her forehead. A few strands of hair stuck to his plump forehead.

Seeing this, Xu Yi came to her with flying steps and picked her up.

"..." Yan Quyue struggled in her heart and wanted to get down. Her body was so weak that she could only lean on his chest and let him carry her to the small couch.

"You are poisoned by fungus." Xu Yi said softly, taking her hand and checking her pulse carefully. Seeing that her pulse was consistent with A Xu's, his worried heart dropped by half.

As long as it's not serious, it's not too late.

Xu Yi knew very well that Yan Quyue had a strong temper, so he didn't say any more words of comfort for fear of causing her shame and anger.

He touched her slightly cold cheek and whispered, "I'll make a detoxification soup for you."

"Yeah." Yan Quyue covered her face with her sleeves. In the faint light, the tips of her ears that were open on the side were a little red. .

Xu Yi went out and carried Tao Sui to the kitchen to find Erqing.

Fungus poisoning has existed since ancient times, and this prescription for treating mushroom poisoning is recorded in the "Shengji Zonglu".

This recipe only requires three ingredients, namely ginger, bean paste and sesame oil.

In people's eyes, ginger's common uses are to remove fishy smell and drive away cold, but its effects are far more than these, and it is also a good detoxification medicine. For example, during the preparation of poisonous aconite or pinellia, ginger can be added to contain their toxicity.

They were poisoned by eating fungi today, and bean paste has the effect of detoxifying vegetable poison. As for sesame oil, it can detoxify food poison, insect poison and heat poison. Therefore, when these three things are put together, it is a powerful combination that can almost Remove all poisons.

Xu Yi didn't waste any time. He ground the ginger into fine powder, took out four ounces and put it in a pottery bowl. He also poured out four ounces of bean paste and two ounces of sesame oil, mixed them together and stirred to combine.

Then put it on the pottery steamer and cook it for a quarter of an hour.

Put the mixed sauce into the pottery steamer, cover it, and Xu Yi ordered Erqing to watch the fire.

He returned to the house to see if the three men's condition had worsened.

During this period, A Xu and A Jin ran to the hut twice more. When they came out, their bodies were even more exhausted.

Several people were paralyzed and motionless, which made Xu Yi feel distressed and funny at the same time.

But in order to punish them not to eat mushrooms casually, Xu Yi deliberately did not use silver needles to inject the brothers and sisters to relieve their discomfort.

Xu Yi smiled, and asked Ah Jin with a half-smile, "If you see fungi on the mountain in the future, will you still pick them up?"

"I won't." Ah Jin regretted it very much.

A Xu glanced at his sister and said, "It's not all my fault, it's because I didn't tell her properly. When I came back today, I didn't take a closer look, which made my wife suffer just like us."

Xu Yi said, "Suffer . It's so small, it's terrible to take someone's life."

After hearing this, the two of them lowered their heads silently. Now that the matter has come to this, they know that there is no point in regretting it.

If someone really died, even if they took ten lives to pay it back, it wouldn't be enough.

"It's not entirely their fault." Yan Quyue held on to the door frame and came out. She crossed the threshold and walked towards them. After a while, she no longer felt so uncomfortable. "I was there when the bacteria were washed. It's really... Speaking of which, it’s my fault as a woman, so I won’t be so reckless in the future.”

Seeing them all blocking each other's responsibilities, Xu Yi frowned and could only tell them to pay attention next time.

Where they didn't see it, Yan Quyue blinked at Ah Jin.

Ah Jin blinked and then nodded obediently.

The detoxifying paste was cooked, and Xu Yi gave some to the three of them to take. Then, he and Erqing also took some to prevent any problems later.

After all this trouble, the lights in the Xu family were turned off until late at night. After everyone fell asleep, Xu Yi still sat in front of the bed to observe Yan Quyue's physical condition. Seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, he was completely relieved.

When the sky was slightly bright, Xu Yi stayed up all night, couldn't bear it and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up, the sun was already rising outside. A Xu was waiting outside the house to sweep the fallen leaves in the courtyard, waiting for him to wake up. Yan Quyue and A Jin went out to go to the morning market, while Er Qing went up the mountain and cut two branches. The catalpa branches with thick wrists and still wet with moisture came back.

"Lang Jun is finally awake. Manager Bai came over this morning and handed over a message, saying that he wanted to invite Mr. Lang for a visit." A Xu came in with face wash and talked nonchalantly.

Xu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Bai Xiuyun asked him to see a doctor?

Thinking of his previous show of kindness, Xu Yi said to A Xu after rinsing his mouth, "Where is the post?"

A Xu quickly took the post over.

Xu Yi opened it and saw that the post had no other meaning. He simply said how he was living there, and then asked him in the post whether he wanted to visit him.

"When you reply to a post, just say that I am available at any time." Xu Yi threw the post back to A Xu.

He moved his somewhat stiff neck. After staying up all night, his limbs were a bit stiff.

The sun was shining brightly outside the house. Xu Yi teased Xiao Huang, who came over for a while, and masturbated Tiger King.

Then, he practiced boxing in the courtyard.

...

After the post was sent out, Bai Xiuyun came to visit within half a day.

He didn't come empty-handed. Before coming, he first went to the most famous fruit shop in Zizhou.

When he saw Xu Yi, Bai Xiujun came over carrying the wrapped fruit. He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Doctor Xu. I wonder how you are living in Zizhou?"
