"Doctor Xu, please, please save my father..." said the thin boy with red eyes.
Doctor Xu saw him like this, and said impatiently, "You don't have the money to buy the herbs your father needs. How can I save him? In the end, I still have to pay for it?"
After hearing what Doctor Xu said, the young man opened his mouth but could not speak.
"I……"
"Okay, okay, go now. Your father's health is badly damaged. Even if there are medicines, they can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause. You might as well spend your spare money on giving him some good meals." Doctor Xu waved his hand and told him to leave quickly.
Hearing what Doctor Xu said, the young man turned around with his head down and prepared to leave.
At this time, Su Qingyun couldn't help but say, "Su Fuyun."
Hearing that it was the patient who came to see Doctor Xu calling him, the thin boy looked over and said, "Hmm? You know..."
However, after seeing Su Qingyun's face, he was stunned.
Although four years have passed, Su Qingyun's appearance has not changed much from before she left home.
It just adds some stability and tenderness of being a father.
"Brother..." The thin boy took a step back, his eyes evasive, his face a little awkward.
It is really that the difference between the two brothers is too great now.
One looks like a rich young master, and the other is a servant.
Tuanzi, who was sitting on the big black dog's back, also heard the big brother calling him "brother".
Tuanzi raised his head and stared at him with some curiosity.
Su Fuyun, who was standing aside, was stared at by a child who was suspected to be his nephew, and his expression became increasingly unnatural.
"Do you know each other?" Doctor Xu, who was standing by, heard this and looked between the two of them.
"No……"
"I know him." Su Qingyun nodded.
"Okay, your brother owes me thirty-five taels of silver. Since you are his brother, you should help him pay it back." Doctor Xu said.
"Doctor Xu, I don't know this person, so don't just pick anyone to be a sucker! I will return the money to you!" After saying that, the thin boy ran out.
"It seems that your brother is very considerate of you." Doctor Xu said, lowered his head to write the prescription, but did not mention the repayment again.
When Su Qingyun heard this, she just smiled, but looked a little absent-minded.
"Doctor Xu, where does that man live?" Lu Changge suddenly asked.
"What a coincidence! It's right across from my house."
After the two of them finished their question and answer, no one spoke again.
Doctor Xu finished writing the prescription and put down his pen.
"Your husband's illness is caused by extreme emotional fluctuations. Did he soak in water before?"
"Yes." Lu Changge nodded.
"Soaking in cold water for too long is not good for your health. Be careful in the future," Doctor Xu warned.
"Um."
"Is there anyone else who wants to see a doctor?" Doctor Xu looked around and fixed his gaze on Tuanzi who was sitting on the back of a big wolf dog.
"Bring this child here for me to see."
Hearing this, Lu Changge picked up Tuanzi and placed him on his lap, then stretched out his hand for the doctor to feel his pulse.
After Doctor Xu examined his right hand, he asked him to stretch out his left hand.
However, when he rolled up his sleeves, he saw a circle of bruises on the child's wrist.
In an instant, Doctor Xu's eyes changed when he looked at Lu Changge.
"Although this child is a boy, there is no need to beat him..."
"No, he was caught by the old woman in Yangfeng Pavilion." Lu Changge said with a dark face.
Hearing him say this, Doctor Xu smiled awkwardly, "Is that so..."
Then continue to take the pulse.
"I feel a little feverish..."
"Well, I took medicine last night and the temperature dropped this morning." Lu Changge replied.
"Okay, continue taking your medicine." Doctor Xu nodded. "Has he been soaked in cold water? Has he been in a cold place for a long time?"
"right."
"Keep him warm and take good care of himself during this period. Try to let him eat more mutton, beef, and red dates, which are foods that replenish qi. He will be fine in a month or two." Doctor Xu withdrew his hand and looked at the man in front of him.
"It's the same as before. Try not to catch a cold, it won't be good for them in the future."
"Yeah." Lu Changge nodded and put down the second baby he was carrying on his back.
"Show him again."
"Huh?" Seeing that the person in front of him was an old man with a white beard, Erbao stared at him with his round eyes.
"How many months old is the baby?" Doctor Xu took Erbao's little hand and carefully felt his pulse.
"In a few days, she will be nine months old," replied Su Qingyun.
"Hmm..." Doctor Xu responded and listened to the patient's pulse carefully.
"How come your whole family... have all been soaked in cold water?" Doctor Xu frowned and directly pulled Lu Changge's hand to feel his pulse.
"It's a long story. There was a flood where we lived before, and we took shelter in the mountains for more than two months. When we were leaving on a bamboo raft, we fell off a cliff waterfall, and then followed the water to here," Su Qingyun explained.
"Well, you guys are lucky. I'll prescribe some medicine for you later."
Doctor Xu withdrew his hand and took another piece of paper to write a prescription.
"Doctor Xu, what medicine did that man lack just now?" Lu Changge tied Erbao in front of him again and asked.
"Yumingxiang, what? Do you want to buy it?" Doctor Xu looked up at him when he heard it.
As if reexamining him, this man looked cold and heartless. Was he just cold on the surface?
Su Qingyun, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look over.
"Are there seeds?" Lu Changge did not answer his question and asked again.
"Why do you need seeds? They only take two years to grow, and by the time you grow them, no one will be able to use them."
"This thing sounds worth a lot of money. I'll grow some to supplement my family income."
Doctor Xu: “…”
In the end, Lu Changge still got the two seeds that Doctor Xu gave him.
Holding his wife and picking up the medicine bag, Lu Changge left Doctor Xu's house with the big black ball.
The house opposite Doctor Xu has only two rooms and a small yard.
There is a vegetable patch in the yard, but unfortunately there is no rain here all year round, and the vegetables grown there are wilted.
"Do you want to go over and take a look?" Lu Changge asked while holding his wife in his arms.
"Can...can I?" Su Qingyun asked hesitantly.
He knew that his husband hated trouble, and on the first day he was brought home, his husband told him the original reason for bringing him back.
No family, no relatives to deal with.
"Why not?" Lu Changge asked back.
"...I want to go and take a look." Seeing this, Su Qingyun looked at her husband and whispered, with some anticipation in her eyes.
"Let's go, then."
Lu Changge didn't knock on the door, he just opened the door and walked in holding his wife.
The big black one behind pushed his little master to catch up.
"Husband...I'll get down and walk by myself." Su Qingyun said a little embarrassedly when she saw that he was about to carry him in like this.
In front of people she didn't know, Su Qingyun didn't care.
But he always felt uncomfortable in front of his father and brother.
"Can you walk on your own?"
"Yes." Su Qingyun nodded quickly.
Okay.
Lu Changge put his wife down, but still held his waist with his hand out of concern.
"Daddy, whose house is this?" Tuanzi held Dahei's ear and looked around curiously.
"It's your uncle's house." Lu Changge replied.
"Who is my uncle?" Tuanzi asked puzzledly.
"My uncle is your father's younger brother."
"Oh! I know! It's the shy big brother just now!" Tuanzi said loudly.
"Why is he so embarrassed?" Su Qingyun asked with some amusement.
Su Fuyun, who was hiding in the house, also asked this question in his heart.
"Because he just cried! Brother Jinbao said it's shameful for adults to cry!" Tuanzi giggled.
"Pfft!" Su Qingyun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
With a "puff", my uncle's heart was stabbed.
Tuanzi's noise was quite loud, and even Su's father, who was lying in the room, heard it.
"Xiao Yun, go... ahem, go and see who's outside." Father Su said.
"...Okay." Su Fuyun hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door.
Tuanzi didn't understand the twists and turns between adults. When he saw his elder brother open the door, he excitedly waved at him and said, "Uncle!"
Tuanzi is cute, and he is even cuter when he smiles and calls him "uncle".
Su Fuyun, who was still a 15-year-old boy, blushed instantly when he heard the baby calling him "uncle".
He didn't even dare to look at Su Qingyun who was walking towards him.
"What? Don't you recognize me?" Su Qingyun asked.
"...Brother." The boy's voice was so soft that it could drive away mosquitoes.
Looking up at the tall man standing next to his brother, Su Fuyun hesitated before calling out, "Brother."
"Yeah." Lu Changge responded.
Just as the atmosphere fell into silence, a faint cough was heard from inside the room.
"Ahem...Xiaoyun, who's here?"
"My brother is here." Su Fuyun turned around and answered, then stepped aside to let them in.
"Your brother, ahem... you came back so early today?"
There were few people in Su's father's backyard, only two concubines.
His descendants include two sons, two brothers and a daughter.
However, only men were exiled to border towns, while others were forced to become prostitutes or slaves.
And their eldest brother was born to the principal wife.
"No, it's my second brother." Su Fuyun explained.
"Your second brother... cough cough cough... why is your second brother here?!" Father Su's voice was a little excited, and he coughed even more violently.
Hearing his father coughing violently, Su Fuyun ran over quickly.
Seeing this, Su Qingyun felt a little nervous.
But when he walked in, what he saw was an elderly man lying on the bed.
Su Qingyun was stunned. He remembered that his father looked very young before, and he didn't look old even though he was nearly forty years old.
"Ayun...is that you, Ayun?"
"Dad..." Su Qingyun walked over with mixed feelings.
"Why are you here? Who brought you here?!" Father Su was a little excited.
If a boy or a girl from the exiled family followed them, there was only one outcome: they would be sent to the military camp as prostitutes.
"Dad, don't get excited. My husband and I came here together." Su Qingyun hurriedly comforted him.
