wedge(1/2)
In the wilderness on the eastern outskirts of Wuling County, there is a villa close to mountains and rivers. The building is spacious and elegant, with bamboo and wooden roof beams, blue bricks and red tiles, which is particularly pure.
But it is undeniable that this area is remote and not close to prosperous places, and has always been regarded as a symbol of poverty by the people of the county and city.
At this time, there were several very impressive carriages parked in front of Zhuangzi. Several brave and strong guards looked coldly at some farmers coming and going at the entrance of the other village, and also looked at the large fields in front of them with contempt in their eyes.
There are some decent guards in the villa, but they are guarding everywhere, especially the main room in the attic of the main courtyard.
In the room, several nuns with broad waists and thick bodies were surrounding a nun who was as thin as a bone. They gathered around and watched the old doctor check the pulse of the woman lying on the couch.
After a while, the old doctor withdrew his hand, smoothed his white beard, and said with a serious expression, "Miss Jin, this situation is not very good."
The thin nanny raised her eyebrows, glanced at the old doctor, and with a flash of gloom, she said to him: "The girl's illness has lasted for more than a day or two. Dr. Zhai will explain it in detail."
Doctor Zhai was probably a little worried about the identity of this thin nanny, so he said angrily: "The girl has been injured since she was born, and she is weak and weak. Over the years, she has become sick with worry, and her illness is even more difficult to cure. This...
"
It is always difficult for a doctor to say something that is too unpleasant. After all, he is the family doctor who is supported by his family. No matter what the identity of the other party is, or the obvious contempt of these nuns, but after all, she is also a decent girl in the family, so she still has to say it.
Be respectful.
After all, he doesn't have the support of the old lady behind him.
Therefore, words such as "you won't live long", "waiting for death soon" and "preparing a coffin" should never be said.
However, he also noticed that these nuns were not unhappy about the bad news at all, but instead looked like "it should be like this".
"In that case, please trouble Dr. Zhai to prescribe a prescription. It is always necessary to do your best."
Dr. Zhai frowned, a little embarrassed, and wanted to say something, but was pushed out by two nuns who were much fatter than him.
The thin nun looked coldly at the woman on the couch, lowered her voice, and said in a high-pitched and deliberately polite voice: "The master is worried about the girl's health, so he specially gave the girl this quiet place away from the noise for her to recover from her injuries. Why doesn't the girl show respect to the master?"
After all the hard work, I have repeatedly ruined my body. Over the past few years, my foundation has gotten worse and worse, but how can I get better?"
Her words were unpleasant to hear. Shaoyao, the personal maid who was serving her, showed anger on her face and couldn't help but said: "The girl is well raised, but she has been trapped in the house for many years. How can she feel comfortable? She..."
"Shut up! Is there a place for you to talk here?"
Nanny's eyes widened, and Shaoyao was covered with her mouth and dragged down. After that, Nanny and another nanny were left alone in the room. The latter immediately peeked outside the door, closed the door tightly, and looked at Shou
Grandma winked.
The thin nanny then stretched out her hand and grasped the weak wrist again. Her sharp nails touched the snow-white skin, and red marks immediately appeared, but she didn't care. It was like holding a piece of wood. After a while,
, she stretched her brows and smiled.
The heart pulse is weak and the breath is disordered. With a body like this, it will be difficult to live for a few more years, let alone something wrong.
After making this judgment, she was already in a comfortable mood, but suddenly she saw the drowsy woman's brows furrowed, as if she was about to wake up, and she moved slightly, sliding down the quilt.
Gai has been ill all year round, and he wears inappropriate clothes. Even the blue thin silk gauze can't cover up the exquisite snow-color, and the curves fit closely, revealing the thin but soft body under the delicate neck.
The ink spread out and entangled her. When she opened her eyes, she looked like a ghost entangled in the water and unable to breathe, weak and painful.
The thin nanny was startled, and her first reaction was: Is this the same energetic and elegant Xie Mingjin from back then?
The second reaction was to secretly spit: Of course she is a disaster, just like her despicable mother!
"Girl, are you awake? It's really God's good grace, so that the old ladies won't be in vain and take the master's summons in vain."
How can a person in pain distinguish or take into account the yin and yang of others? Xie Mingjin opened his mouth slightly, as if there was charcoal in his mouth, hoarse and broken.
"Father?....Did he remember me...what...?"
The thin nun raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "I'll call the girl to go back to the county first."
"Go back?" Even though he was seriously ill, Xie Mingjin also showed joy when he heard it clearly. His pale and charming appearance became more and more tinged with warmth, and he murmured: "Father, are you going to let me go back?"
Because of the joy, there were some clear and lingering tears in my eyes.
There was coldness and ridicule in the eyes of the thin nun. She kept her superior attitude and said coolly: "Young girl can't go on the road like this now. If there is any delay due to illness on the way, how can we explain it? So no matter what the girl does,
If you want to go back, you have to take good care of yourself first. I have asked Dr. Zhai to prescribe a prescription, and the girl will just take it regularly in the future."
Having said that, she was too lazy to deal with this sick man any more, so she left alone.
The two nuns walked out of the room, and the thin nun first looked for Shaoyao who was being scolded.
There was a lot of scolding, but once the thin nun passed, the other nuns stepped aside.
Shaoyao's originally aggrieved face paused for a moment, and she rolled her eyes. Instead of being afraid of being repaired by Nanny, she smiled, lowered her voice and said flatteringly: "Aunt Zhang, do you have anything to ask?
But I obeyed your orders and kept looking at her."
So it turned out to be such a true face?
I wonder how the seriously ill patient inside would react to this scene.
Grandma Zhang snorted lightly and said harshly: "Take care of a sick person to see what you can do. The old lady just wants to know about her condition, but you have had intermittent news over the years, so we still have to come in person.
"
In fact, they just wanted to make sure that Xie Mingjin was not a serious person.
One Dr. Zhai is not enough. Few people know that Grandma Zhang also knows how to read, listen, ask and understand.
But this does not prevent her from "pointing out" peony.
Shaoyao bowed and nodded, "Then...when will you call me back, Aunt Zhang? I have to be locked up in this village with her every day. She's not crazy yet, but I can hardly stand it anymore."
"
"Look at her now, how long can she last? Just wait and wait for news from us..." Nanny Zhang said casually.
Shaoyao was a little curious, "The master really wants her to come back..."
Before she could finish asking, she was frightened by a fierce look from Granny Zhang, and she quickly lowered her head to chat.
Grandma Zhang didn't say much. She just asked the grandmother next to her to stuff peony with a little money and feed it to the horses. Then she went to see Dr. Zhai.
Accepted.
After struggling for a while, all the ingredients for the medicine were left behind, but a group of nuns were unwilling to stay in this remote place, and they looked down on the many farmers in the farm. They got on the carriage after being fed by the good people in the backyard with a arrogant and stern air.
gone.
Little did they know that at this time, in the attic on the second floor of the main courtyard, where they had just stayed and showed off their power as guests, the sick and dying figure on the couch had already lifted the quilt, and Shi Shiran sat up. Because of that posture, he was originally
The loose and soft silk pajamas slid down from the shoulders, half of the collarbone and downward arc were exposed, almost half-sucking and half-vomiting, and the black hair was a bit lazy, entangled with the delicacy of the melted ice and snow peaks, and disappeared.
Sharp edge, flesh and blood from the surface to the inside, elegance and lingering charm.
Wiping her forehead lightly with one hand, a thin layer of sweat stained her fingers. Her fingertips turned slightly and were wet with cold sweat. She stood up tiredly, not even bothering to gather up her clothes and belts. She walked barefoot on the wooden board, reached the partition window, and leaned against the door.
Coffin, quietly looking at the back of the tall horse neighing and galloping away in the open space in the distance.
The dust was flying, and the carriages and horses were graceful.
The "traitor" Shaoyao came in carrying a medicine box. When he saw this scene, he was shocked and became anxious.
"Hey, girl, please stop blowing the wind. I haven't taken the medicine yet, and your symptoms haven't gone away. Why are you so casual?"
Xie Mingjin looked back at her and smiled, "You'll be fine after taking the antidote. It won't be a problem."
This is a medicine that pretends to be symptomatic, and it can be cured by taking it.
Xie Mingjin took the pills from the medicine box and took it. Not too much, and his pale and weak complexion improved a lot. If Dr. Zhai came back to check his pulse again, he would be extremely frightened.
This... is still the same feeling of "you won't live long" before!
"Although you are deceiving them, your body has been restored through hard work over the past few years. It is not as healthy as ordinary people, so you still need to take good care of it."
Shaoyao babbled and took a robe to put on Xie Mingjin, for fear that she might be seriously ill.
Xie Mingjin, who was much taller than her, was obedient and allowed her to mess around. He looked down at her little head and said jokingly: "Did my little traitor make a small fortune?"
"It's only ten taels, and I'm sending it to the beggars. If I have to cover up the girl, I won't deal with the fat guy and the thin guy."
Shaoyao hated these old ladies who had no regard for their dignity and pretended to be powerful. "If it weren't for you, my dear girl... how would they dare to do this..."
When it comes to the past, Shaoyao only talks briefly, and sometimes she can't control her mouth and bald, but she can always control it later.
That's a secret past, a scar, but you can't add salt to it.
Xie Mingjin didn't seem to care, he just smiled, and someone came to report outside the door. It was Bi Shiyi, the guard leader of the village.
Through the door, he reported: "Girl, the medicinal materials they gave us have been found. Here are the medicinal prescriptions detected by the pharmacy."
Shaoyao opened the door, took out the order, glared at it, and gave it to Xie Mingjin.
The latter looked at it, but he was not as angry as Shaoyao. He just said calmly: "On the surface, it seems to nourish blood, but in fact, it will make me weak and die earlier."
She was not asking the two of them, but seemed to be talking to herself.
The two of them didn't dare to say anything.
Outside the house, Bi Shiyi lowered his head, not looking at the people inside, and just said: "The things you told me have been done."
work?
Shaoyao was surprised and asked.
"It's nothing." Xie Mingjin pulled out the books on the bookshelf that he had not finished reading yesterday and said lightly: "I just asked Eleven to remove one or two nails from the wheel hub of their carriage."
