Chapter 229
Huainan West Road, Qizhou.
It was already the spring of February of the following year when Xu Yi and his party arrived in Qizhou.
Qizhou has four distinct seasons with cold winters and hot summers. The spring rains are continuous and silent, and the roads are muddy and difficult to navigate. Everyone has to choose to go to the city to find a place to stay.
"How long until we arrive?" Ah Jin lifted the curtain and looked at Er Qing, who was wearing a raincoat outside.
Erqing's voice rang out in the sound of rain: "We're almost there, there are still two miles to go."
The sky was foggy, and the rainwater splashed on the roof of the carriage, making a "tap-tap-tap" sound. Ah Jin only showed his face, and then Wet from the splashing raindrops, he quickly got back.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped her face glumly, while asking Xu Yi and Yan Quyue: "Two miles away is Qishui County, sir, madam, should we go directly to the county, or should we take a detour to another place?
As soon as he said this, Xu Yi opened his half-closed eyes and said, "Let's go to the city." "Okay. "
A Jin laughed playfully, opened the curtain again, and called Erqing to hurry up.
Yan Quyue looked sideways at Xu Yi who had regained his energy and asked worriedly, "Is it better?"
"Well, almost better." Xu Yi smiled reassuringly at her and shook her hand.
Even so, Yan Quyue still told him to take medicine.
Xu Yi had a smile on his face, but felt helpless in his heart. He had been in contact with so many doctors and patients over the years, and so many of them had colds but were not infected. How could he have expected that this time when he was traveling in winter, he caught winds and colds on the way and coughed for several days? , it gradually improved in the past two days.
He didn't want to pass the cold to others, but Yan Quyue insisted on taking care of him. Fortunately, everyone was in good health and did not get infected.
"Ajin, when we enter the city later, you first make a medicinal soup for your husband." Yan Quyue ordered.
Ah Jin responded with "Hey, eh" twice, and couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that Lang Jun would be a formidable person and would not get sick. After this incident, I realized that even Lang Jun has poor health. "
Xu Yi's mouth twitched: "Your husband is also a human being, and he will get sick as a human being."
Qishui County is located at the southern foot of the Dabie Mountains and is the watershed between the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River. There is abundant rainfall here, and there are many lakes and the snow melts in the spring. Sometimes, it turns warm and cold.
It happened to be a rainy day, and a cold wind penetrated the carriage. While talking, Xu Yi wrapped himself in the cotton robe he was wearing.
Yan Quyue watched his little movements carefully and put the warm hand warmer into his hand.
"Just take good care of yourself and don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of everything after entering the city."
Xu Yi's limbs were tired and he nodded lazily: "Listen to my wife."
It took two moments to walk the remaining two miles. clock or so.
When they entered the city, the outside of the donkey cart was splashed with mud. A Xu and Er Qing slowed down their driving speed and passed through the market with pedestrians at both ends to take shelter from the rain before finding an inn.
The waiter in the inn led the donkey cart to the backyard of the inn. Yan Quyue put on a curtain hat and came out of the carriage with an oil-paper umbrella. Ah Jin moved the footstool and held up the curtain. Xu Yi borrowed Yan Quyue's Oil-paper umbrella, enter the inn.
As soon as they entered and placed their luggage, Ah Jin paid some money to the waiter and asked for a pot of clean well water.
She came back with a kettle to cook the medicine, and Xu Yi had been forced to lie down on the bed to rest by Yan Quyue.
He turned over helplessly, wondering whether he should get up and read a book.
"Mr. Lang, you should be honest and don't make me angry."
Ajin reminded him with a smile when he entered the room and saw Xu Yi turning over on the bed.
Xu Yi's eyes twitched: "..."
"Can't you cover for me?"
Ah Jin said without hesitation: "I listen to my wife on this matter."
Xu Yi sat up from the bed pretending to be angry and shouted: " It's the other way around, is it the husband or the lady who is in front? The lady has gone out, so what's the point of being obedient?"
Ajin was startled, looked at him and saw that he was not really angry, so he said: "Then I will tell the lady this and ask her to comment."
"Huh?" Xu Yi laughed angrily, "That's all, a gentleman is not as knowledgeable as a little girl."
He went back again.
Ah Jin sneered: "You have such a strong character, Mr. Lang, why are you so weak now? Are you afraid that the wife will hear this and say something about you?"
"Don't do this, the wife is not asking you to cook medicine, go quickly, don't bother me." "Xu Yi's throat was stuffy, as if he had a breath that couldn't be released. This was because the cold had not healed yet and he felt uncomfortable talking too much.
He turned over and faced the dusty bed curtain, too lazy to talk to her.
Seeing Lang Jun's rare temper, Ah Jin just smiled and didn't really say anything disrespectful.
After a while, Ah Jin was squatting on the eaves of the corridor, cooking medicine, and Ah Xu came over with a box in his arms.
The brother and sister stood under the eaves and talked.
"You didn't go out with your wife?" Ah Jin asked doubtfully.
A Xu shook his head and said that Erqing was following his wife, and then said: "Master, can you rest? I just packed the boxes and cages and saw that a box of medicinal materials had become moldy after being splashed by the rain. I don't know when the sun will come in this weather. I want to ask You can keep this box of medicine for me."
Ah Jin thought for a while and said, "I'll talk about it next time. It's not good for me to worry about this before my illness is better."
"Mr. Lang wants to be busy again. ?" After hearing this, A Xu frowned and said, "Didn't the lady say that she will take care of it until she recovers? What did Lang Jun say?"
Lang Jun was in good health before, but they didn't realize that Lang Jun had such a temper. , coughing at night and unable to sleep, I had to light a lamp and read a book. I was scolded by Yan Quyue twice before I became honest today.
Later, they would imitate Yan Quyue and not let Xu Yi act so wantonly.
Ah Jin recalled what she had just said back to Xu Yi, and leaned over to whisper to him that Lang Jun wanted to read the medical book.
Sure enough, even A Xu frowned and felt it was inappropriate. Studying medical books took up a lot of energy. Lang Jun's cold was still not cured. Even if his foundation was not bad, he couldn't bother with it like this.
"You are right not to let Mr. Lang read, otherwise my wife will be angry if she finds out." A Xu warned in a low voice.
After the two of them chatted, they couldn't help but look at the closed door behind them.
It was so quiet inside that there was no sound, and I didn't know whether Lang Jun was asleep or not.
However, the two of them made a bet that Lang Jun was definitely not asleep, but he just didn't know what he was doing.
…
Yan Quyue took Erqing to Yaxing and came back. He went inside and took off his hat and raincoat. Before sitting down, Xu Yi got up from the bed in the back room, put on his outer robe and opened the curtain and came out.
She frowned at his expression and asked, "Didn't you sleep?"
Xu Yi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Lying for a long time is harmful to the body. My bones are sore from lying down for a few days. If I still sleep, I will sleep more at night." No."
Hearing the grievance in his words, Yan Quyue pursed her lips and smiled, but did not follow him: "That day, I was so brave that the wind blew me up at night, and I didn't like to take medicine or wear a robe. No matter how powerful I am, I still have to think about it. He really thought he was a fortress."
Xu Yi: "..."
He didn't hear the words of comfort, but was scolded instead.
He propped himself up weakly, admiring the rainy scene outside the window nonchalantly.
People don't like to think when they are sick. After calmly blowing the spring breeze for a while, Xu Yi gradually recalled this misty and rainy ancient county.
Thinking of this, he remembered that Pang Anshi, the medical king of the Song Dynasty, was from Qishui County, and it was just the Jingde period, about forty years before Pang Anshi was born.
Even if one could meet the Pang family in Qishui County, they would at most be Pang Anshi's ancestral generation.
Not long after he traveled through time, Xu Yi wondered whether he would have the chance to meet the Medical King himself.
Now I actually came to Qishui County, but it was forty years too early.
The timing is wrong.
Xu Yi chuckled and shook his head.
Before going to bed at night, Xu Yi drank all the prepared anti-cold medicine. After gargling, he took off his coat and fell asleep.
In the dream, he met an old man. The old man took a child with him. The child carried a suitcase on his back and took out an ancient book for him.
"What is this?" Xu Yi in the dream was holding a medical book in confusion.
Before the old man could speak, he disappeared before his eyes.
Xu Yi was startled and called to the other party hurriedly. Even if he wanted to run, he strayed into a confused place and couldn't get out no matter what.
...
Xu Yi just woke up at noon the next day. Yan Quyue and others were waiting for him in the room, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him awake.
Xu Yi was startled and realized that he was worrying everyone. However, he had dreamed wildly all night, and he did not feel mentally exhausted. Instead, he slept soundly, and when he woke up, even the cold was gone.
A Xu and A Jin are both worried about him.
After taking turns to check his pulse, he smiled happily when he found that he was really cured.
Xu Yi recovered from the cold and regained the right to speak. He was not restricted by Yan Quyue and could do nothing.
At this moment, he smiled and said to her: "Madam, you said yesterday that you rented a house in Dongcheng, so today we will check out and move to the house."
Yan Quyue agreed: "It's not convenient to stay in an inn. I can get up in the house and practice boxing in the morning."
Ajin followed his wife and said, "Langjun has just recovered from his illness and can't exert himself yet. It's not a rush to set up a stall and see a doctor. Let me tell you, it's better for the weather to clear up in two days. Let Erqing find a way to make a living."
"There are many lakes outside Qishui, and it's not easy to hunt. You can really make a living," Erqing said with a naive smile.
Xu Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk in a few days."
Although Qishui is at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, not everyone can go to such a beautiful green mountain.
If you want to do anything in Qishui, you must first get good news before making any judgment.
Yan Quyue, Er Qing and others had no objections. Anyway, with Xu Yi here, they didn't have to worry about anything.
After a while, the people in Wuyangyang dispersed and went about their business, including those who packed luggage, moved boxes and cages, and organized goods. Even Xu Yi was among them, personally responsible for his two heavy boxes of medical books.
This book is his treasure. He can throw away the car but not the book.
The sun went down, the boxes and cages were fully assembled, and the group arrived at the newly rented house.
Yan Quyue had a good eye, and the house he chose was 70% new or old. Entering from the eaves, you can see a pavilion with square pavilions, and the corners above are beautifully carved with cicada belly.
The loft is located high up with views of the lake, making it a relaxing and elegant place.
Yan Quyue fell in love with the attic as soon as she saw it, and pulled Xu Yi upstairs to look at the green and black lake opposite.
"The broker from the dental shop said that this lake can be full of lotus flowers in the hot summer. Sitting on this beauty's bench, you can see all the scenery of Qishui." Yan Quyue leaned on the beauty's bench and looked up in anticipation, and caught a glimpse of an egret out of the corner of her eye. Flying by, I feel even more happy.
Seeing her smiling so brightly, Xu Yi couldn't help but said, "Then we'll stay until the hot summer and then leave."
"Wouldn't it be a long time until then?" Yan Quyue was happy but hesitant at the same time.
Xu Yi shook his head and said: "Qishui is very beautiful. There are many famous lakes. I also want to see the famous Wangtian Lake."
During their travels, they were not enjoying the scenery. The scenery on this road is so many, and the famous mountains and rivers we have seen are so alluring.
"Let's talk about it later." Yan Quyue laughed.
Afraid that he would immediately go to Wangtian Lake as he spoke, he quickly stopped him.
Xu Yigang recovered from his illness, and the two of them only stayed up there for a while before going downstairs. At this moment, A Xu and the others moved all the boxes and cages into the house, sorted the unimportant ones, and kept the rest until Xu Yi came back to make plans.
After Xu Yi inspected the box of medicinal materials that had become moldy due to exposure to rain, he sent the brother and sister to pick out the usable ones and destroy the unusable ones.
The study was next door to the attic, just a few steps away. He moved the book box into it.
While sorting the books, Ah Jin Erqing came over and asked, "Doctor Xu, Brother Ah Xu asked what to eat tonight?"
"You let him make his own arrangements." After Xu Yi finished speaking, he paused and said thoughtfully, "I remember the plan. The lake is rich in crabs. It's only February, and I don't know if there are any crabs to eat."
Erqing scratched his head: "Then... I'll buy it?"
Xu Yi raised his eyebrows: "I'll go with you."
He came to Qishui . I was almost panicking when I didn't go out from the inn.
