Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing
Chapter 44
Lu Dongfu responded, planning to make some simple and durable food, even if it is cold, it will taste delicious, so that Qi Zhongyu can pick it up and eat it at any time.
Then simmering herbal food and tonic soup on the kitchen stove, maybe Xianggong can eat it while practicing kung fu.
Although it is more likely that Qi Zhongyu will not be able to eat, and will waste food and money, but money can be made again, but Qi Zhongyu's body must not be delayed.
What's more, they are not short of silver now. Lu Dongfu still has more than 200 taels that Qi Zhongyu gave her before, and a jade bracelet worth a hundred taels. Of course, she will never sell the jade bracelet.
She can also do embroidery work to earn money. During Qi Zhongyu's long trip, she not only sewed a few new sets of clothes for the two of them, but also specially made two exquisite double-sided embroidery work, which were taken to the county seat. His Jinxiu Pavilion was sold, and he made nearly ten taels of silver.
Therefore, she doesn't care about money at all. After the food at home is used up, she can go to the county to buy it.
She got up together with Qi Zhongyu, seeing that she was going to recuperate in the vacated utility room next door, thinking that there was no place to sit there, she hurriedly said: "Should I spread a quilt on the ground? The humidity on the mountain is heavy, if you don't Be careful to catch the wind and cold, it will not be worth the loss."
Qi Zhongyu was stunned for a moment. She used to sit on the ground casually in the snowy mountains of the Western Regions. As long as it wasn't the moment of poisoning, she never got sick. As time passed, she didn't even care about it.
At this moment, hearing Lu Dongfu's concerned proposal, knowing that she was considerate of him, naturally she would not refuse, so she nodded in agreement.
Lu Dongfu pursed her lips and smiled, went back to the bedroom and took a new quilt, thought about it, and took two more cushions.
She made this on a whim before, thinking that she could put it on the stool when she embroidered in the future, and made a few more on purpose, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
She came out with a lot of things in her arms. Although it looked bulky, it was not heavy. She put it in the utility room next to the main room. It was neatly laid out. She sat on it and tried it, and found that it was very soft. , and couldn't feel the coolness of the ground at all, so he smiled with satisfaction and squinted his eyes.
Then she got up in a panic, looked down at the main room, and realized dully that Qi Zhongyu had disappeared again while she was taking things.
Lu Dongfu panicked for a moment, then thought of her promise to him, and quickly calmed down.
Apart from a few rooms, there was only an empty yard in the house. She searched and couldn't find Qi Zhongyu, so she went outside the yard to look for her figure.
Sure enough, he saw Qi Zhongyu leading the horse and coming down from the forest on the mountain with two bundles in his hands.
When she saw Lu Dongfu, she shook the bag in her hand and said, "I brought you a gift from a long trip this time. I forgot about it because of too many things before. I just thought about it, so I went to find Ma. I took back the burden."
Lu Dongfu had noticed it before, and wanted to take the burden off the horse's back, but this horse was loyal, and the owner, Qi Zhongyu, was not around, so she wouldn't let her touch it, so she put it aside for the time being.
Unexpectedly, this was a gift Qi Zhongyu brought back to her. She felt warm and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Qi Zhongyu said: "Let's go, go into the room and talk."
She threw down the horse's rein and told the horse to wander around and not go too far, so she led Lu Dongfu back to the bedroom, where they sat facing each other, Qi Zhongyu pushed the bundle in front of her, and said, "Open it." come and see."
Lu Dongfu glanced at her, saw her smiling, and obediently unwrapped one of the bundles, which contained a box that looked unpretentious, and she unwrapped another bundle, which was exactly the same as the one just now. Box.
There were locks on both boxes, and under Qi Zhongyu's encouraging eyes, she carefully opened the box on the left, revealing the contents inside.
It looked like two stacks of paper, divided into left and right sides and stacked neatly, she took out one and looked at it, it was 100 taels of silver bills.
she was stunned...
He stared dumbfoundedly at the box full of bank notes, and then at Qi Zhong in a daze.
Yu, seeing her propped her chin and nodded, said: "Here is a 10 taels of silver note, you can keep it."
Ten, 10 taels? !
Lu Dongfu suddenly felt that she didn't wake up today, otherwise, why did she hear Xianggong say that there is 10 taels of silver notes here, or is it a gift she brought back for herself after a long trip?
Qi Zhongyu saw her glaring round eyes, helpless and funny, and said: "It was done in a fair and honest way. I helped that old friend get rid of the wanted by the court. In return, he gave 10 taels of silver. Money and goods are cleared, and the origin is clean. Don't think too much, just take it."
Lu Dongfu nodded blankly, Qi Zhongyu tapped another box with his chin, and said: "This is my old friend. After hearing that I got married, he specially asked me to bring it back for you. He said it was a wedding gift. You take it too."
After finishing speaking, she got up and said, "Then I'm going to the utility room to recuperate. If it's nothing serious, don't come and call me."
Lu Dongfu came back to her senses, hurriedly responded, followed her and sent her into the room, and watched her close the door before she fully recovered.
Thinking of the box full of banknotes placed so casually on the table in the bedroom, she was terrified. She didn't even bother to clean up the dishes in the main room. I went around the house several times, looking for a place to hide the box.
I don't know if it was her illusion, but she just felt that the box was scalding when held in her arms. She changed several places before finally thinking of putting the box in Qi Zhongyu's closet, next to the new clothes she made for Qi Zhongyu. together.Although I was still a little worried, but I thought of a better place to hide the box for the time being, so I had to give up.
Just after heaved a sigh of relief, he glanced at another box on the table from the corner of the eye, and thought: This is a gift for her, the box just now can be obtained at the price of my husband's blood, she will not touch the box easily in the money.
However, this box was also an old friend of Xianggong's, so it was given to him for her sake.
She opened the box with complicated emotions, and as expected, she saw that it was full of gold and silver treasures. She had worked as a maid in Xue Yuan's mansion for more than ten years, and she also broadened her horizons. Any piece of jewelry in the box is worth thousands of gold.
The contents of this box may be more valuable than 10 taels of silver bills.
It's too hot, it shouldn't be something she can have, Lu Dongfu closed the box, put it together with the box just now, and put them in Qi Zhongyu's closet, although they are one as a family, but these Things, she won't touch.
She just thought: Mr. Xiang is really good, hunting in the mountains before was already good enough, but she never thought that she would meet such a big man with such a big money.
Immediately, she couldn't help worrying about Qi Zhongyu. After all, she helped that old friend who was wanted by the court, which was against the court. If the court knew about it, she would definitely be regarded as an accomplice and be arrested by the government.
Of course, with my husband's ability, she wouldn't fall into the hands of the government, but she couldn't do it herself. She was a weak woman with no power to restrain her, and she would definitely become a burden to her husband.
This is something she absolutely does not want to see.
She thought about it, and planned to tell him that after his health recuperated, he would practice martial arts with her. Although she may not be effective in martial arts at such an old age, as long as she can not hold him back, she will Do your best.
She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to face the government. Although she was very afraid of the government as an ordinary citizen, as long as she was with her husband, she would not be afraid of anything.
She was full of fighting spirit, thinking of the uncleared dishes in the main room, she hurriedly cleared the table, washed the dishes, and boiled hot water to take a bath.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, it was already night, and she was lying on the bed alone, listening to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Then I lit the lantern and went to the embroidery room next door. I set up the embroidery frame and a set of tools, and drew a few sketches on the table. I chose the best one. Out of the general outline.
It wasn't until she fell asleep that she blew out the lights in the house.
Candlelight, went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.
In the next few days, after she prepared three meals a day, she would clear away the food placed outside the door of the utility room. When she saw that most of the food on the plate was eaten, she pursed her lips and smiled; Without moving, she pursed her mouth in worry.
Helplessly, she can embroider when she has nothing to do during the day, so she has never met Qi Zhongyu, and she doesn't know how her injuries are recuperating.
On this day, she was in the embroidery room, continuing her previous embroidery work, when she heard the sound of the courtyard door being slammed.
Lu Dongfu was startled, wondering who would come to the door.
She put down her embroidery tools, got up and straightened her appearance, and looked through the crack of the door, and saw her eldest sister Lu Daya and some men she didn't know.
Lu Dongfu was overwhelmed with surprise, hurriedly opened the courtyard door, held Daya Lu's hand, and said, "Sister, why are you here?"
Lu Daya had just climbed up the mountain, she was still breathing, looked at her with a smile, and said intermittently: "I'll come and see you."
Lu Dongfu was overjoyed, and was about to hold the elder sister's hand to enter the door, then noticed a few men behind her, lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Elder sister, who are they?"
Lu Daya took a deep breath and said, "Second sister, don't worry, they came with me. They are relatives of the Peng family. This is Xianggong's second uncle, and that one is third uncle. Behind them is the close-knit Boy."
Although she didn't explain the purpose of her visit, Lu Dongfu had already guessed it, and she felt a little embarrassed, because the husband was still recovering from his injuries in the utility room, so it was inconvenient to show up, but it would be too rude to let them go back like this.
She could only open the far door and said: "You have worked hard all the way here, let's sit down in the room and talk about it."
Peng An's second and third uncles breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words.
They were exhausted today. Early in the morning, they were ordered to take their nephew and daughter-in-law to travel across the mountains from Linxi Village to Yuehe Village to visit Qi Zhongyu's house, but when they got there and knocked on the door, the courtyard door was closed and no one was there. Respond.
They found someone to inquire again, only to find out that Qi Zhongyu no longer lives here, and moved to live in the courtyard on the mountain a few days ago.
For Peng An's health, they couldn't return without success, so they could only bite the bullet and rush to Yuenan Mountain, looking at the faintly visible yard on the mountain, swallowed their saliva, lifted their clothes and tried their best to climb up the mountain.
After running around all morning, I finally saw people. Their legs were weak from running, and they were just about to sit down and rest.
So, they responded with smiles, and entered the yard together with their nephew and daughter-in-law.
It can be seen that the courtyard is newly built, and it does not occupy a large area. It is not comparable to Peng's house, or even a small farmyard. However, although the sparrow is small and complete, the furnishings in the main room are also warm and comfortable.
They sat on the stools and drank the tea made by Lu Dongfu. The third uncle Peng An became more lively and said, "Excuse me, where is your husband? I don't want to hide it. We came here specially for him alone." A prescription left for my nephew Peng An many months ago."
"We have already sent people to search for all the medicinal materials in the prescription. Could you ask Qi Zhongyu to treat my nephew's body? Of course, we will not ask him to help for nothing, and we will definitely give him enough money for consultation."
Sure enough, Lu Dongfu thought, she had a troubled look on her face, and when Lu Daya saw this, she asked anxiously, "Second Sister, what's wrong?"
Lu Dongfu said: "I'm really sorry, my husband-in-law went on a long trip a few days ago and caught a cold. She coughed intermittently these days. She was afraid of infecting me, so she locked herself in the room and didn't even see me. , said that it will come out naturally when the body recovers, but..."
With a sad look on her face, she said: "So, it's really a coincidence, but I will convey your thoughts to my husband. When she recovers from her illness, I will definitely go to Peng'an to treat her brother-in-law as soon as possible."
Peng An's second and third uncles looked at each other when they heard the words, not knowing whether what she said was true or not, subconsciously glanced at Lu Daya, hoping she would persuade Lu Dongfu.
Lu Daya stirred the hem of her clothes for a long time, and said, "Second sister, since the second brother-in-law is not feeling well, I won't force it, and I will come to the door again some other day."
visit. "
Lu Dongfu hurriedly said: "What is the big sister talking about? After a few days, I will go to Peng'an with my husband. You don't need to come here again. It's too hard."
Lu Daya was very moved and said, "Second Sister..."
Lu Dongfu also held her hand, and comforted her: "Don't worry, since Xianggong has prescribed the medicine, he will never let it go."
Having said that, Peng An's second and third uncles were not very comfortable. They glared at Lu Daya with hatred, and always felt that Qi Zhongyu was avoiding him on purpose. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that when they came, The other party caught the cold?
But after thinking about it, Qi Zhongyu did go to Peng An's shop more than half a month ago and bought high-quality medicinal materials worth several hundred taels, most of which were used to replenish his body. Could it be that he was already unwell at that time?
If Qi Zhongyu really got sick, it definitely wasn't because of a cold, it could only be a more serious illness, which even the best medicinal materials couldn't cure.
Could it be that the reason why he went out of the hospital was because he felt that he could not find a doctor to treat his body in Siyuan County, so he went to another place to seek medical treatment?
But up to now, she still stays behind closed doors, and even doesn’t see her face, isn’t it...
They had an ominous premonition in their hearts. In their view, there was no cure for their nephew's illness. Only Qi Zhongyu gave them a glimmer of hope.
But if something happens to Qi Zhongyu as hope, the nephew's illness...
Their hearts were not good, so they quickly stood up and suggested: "I am a doctor, I wonder if I can diagnose his pulse, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, maybe they can cure his illness."
Lu Dongfu carefully looked at the expressions on their faces, and saw that they were really worried. This worry was not out of concern for Qi Zhongyu's condition, but because he was afraid that something happened to Qi Zhongyu, which would affect Peng An's condition.
She was entangled in her heart, the husband was not really sick, she just said it casually, but hit the iron plate, forgetting that the members of the Peng family are all doctors, and their medical skills are also very good.
She could only reject the other party's 'good intentions' and said: "Isn't it appropriate, if the husband infects the two elders, then..."
Peng An's second uncle and third uncle were also a little hesitant when they heard the words, but when they thought of the fourth brother who died young, and the health condition of his nephew Peng An became worse.
They gritted their teeth, and the third uncle of the Peng family smiled stiffly and said, "It's okay, the doctor is a parent. What's more, since Qi Zhongyu is my nephew's brother-in-law, he is a relative of my Peng family. We will never ignore it. Please lead the way."
Lu Dongfu: ...
She became even more flustered. Lu Daya was keenly aware of this, and said to her second uncle: "Second uncle, my husband-in-law has been ill for a while, and it's not too late. The second brother-in-law doesn't see guests, there will always be His reasoning is that after he takes care of his health, he will heal his illness, so there is no need to be in a hurry."
Second Uncle Peng An looked at her coldly, feeling that she was turning her elbows outward, and that she didn't even care about her husband, so it was no wonder that she was rejected by her nephew.
He lowered his eyes and said: "My nephew and daughter-in-law's words are inappropriate. It is precisely because the younger generation is sick. As the elders, I should take the initiative to help her with diagnosis and treatment. If there is any delay, the minor illness will be delayed." Serious illness, can you take the blame for this?"
Lu Daya's face was pale, her lips were pursed, but she didn't dare to speak again.
Lu Dongfu looked furious, and said in a blunt tone: "Don't let the two elders worry about it. My husband is an adult, and he is very clear about his body. He said that he will recover in a few days, so then Let's talk about it in a few days. Otherwise, even if Xianggong barely supports his sick body to see a doctor for brother-in-law, maybe his hands will tremble and he will accidentally touch brother-in-law..."
Uncle Peng An's expression was very ugly when he heard that, and he also knew that what she said made sense.
But their Peng family waited for many years, and finally found a way to heal their nephew's body, and they verified it was indeed effective. Naturally, they refused to let it go, and they were unwilling to continue to delay.
He wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by his younger brother. The third uncle of the Peng family squinted his eyes and said, "In this case, I won't force it anymore. It's just that if this wind-cold disease is delayed, it will miss the chance of treatment. Illness will also become a serious illness.
He will cough up blood, and if he wants to treat it again, he will be powerless. "
Lu Dongfu pursed her lips and said to herself: Is this a threat?If he didn't know that Qi Zhongyu was not Fenghan, he might have been frightened by his words.
She lowered her eyes, and just about to say something, she heard the sound of the door opening next door, she was stunned for a moment, realized that Qi Zhongyu must have come out, hurriedly walked out of the door, and saw Qi Zhongyu blinking at her.
She walked towards the main room, coughing in a low voice from time to time, and stretched out her hand to Lu Dongfu.
Lu Dongfu understood, lowered her head and suppressed a smile, and helped her husband to sit on the stool in the main room.
Peng An's second and third uncles were pleasantly surprised when they saw him.
Qi Zhongyu said in a weak tone: "I still look at the two elders, Haihan. It was because I was unwell a few days ago that I closed the door to thank the guests, but I heard the voices of several conversations vaguely, and I was really worried about the elder brother-in-law's health, so I supported the sick body , Come here and apologize to the two elders in person."
The second uncle of the Peng family looked him over from head to toe, and he saw that he was weak and pale, as if he had suffered from a serious illness.
The third uncle of the Peng family hurriedly said: "It's okay, but what kind of illness did you suffer from, and what did the doctor say? If you don't mind, I happen to have a little understanding of pharmacology, so I can help you diagnose one or two, so that you won't be misdiagnosed by quack doctors."
He insisted on taking Qi Zhongyu's pulse, not really worried about his body.
On the one hand, he wants to see whether Qi Zhongyu is really sick or fake. On the other hand, he wants to know how sick Qi Zhongyu is if he is really sick, and whether he will delay the treatment of his nephew.
Qi Zhongyu hurriedly thanked him, and said, "Of course I don't mind, then I will trouble you."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, revealing her bluish-white wrist. Third Uncle Peng An felt something was wrong just by looking at his skin color.
If it wasn't for the other person's pulse still beating, he would have thought that he was checking the pulse of a dead person.
He immediately believed half of it in his heart, and after the pulse was checked, his brows tightened, and he believed it completely.
He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's hard, I've never seen this pulse before, but it's intermittent, lifeless, and extremely weak. You must have a good rest and take care of your body."
Qi Zhongyu bowed his head, and replied in disappointment.
Second Uncle Peng An didn't quite trust his younger brother's medical skills. His medical skills were the highest besides his father Peng Fu's. Seeing this, he said, "Please allow me to try."
Uncle Peng An gave up his seat and asked him to take Qi Zhongyu's pulse. He was silent for a moment, and found that it was true as his younger brother said.
This pulse is extremely vain, like the pulse of a dying person.
He was very anxious. If Qi Zhongyu really died, they would find someone to heal Peng An in a short time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help complaining about the other party. If he didn't tell the prescription, they would have gotten used to Peng An's weak health. In fact, there is no ray of hope.
But now, he was about to die, and Peng An's condition could not be healed. He couldn't even imagine how sad his parents and fourth siblings were.
With a long sigh, he swung his sleeves and strode away, and his two servants also got up and followed.
After watching the whole process, Lu Daya believed it to be true, tears fell down immediately, feeling both uncomfortable and distressed.
I feel sorry for Qi Zhongyu who is going to die young at such a young age; I also feel sorry for the second sister who is going to be a widow. God is so cruel to the two sisters.
Seeing that she was crying hard, Lu Dongfu hurried forward and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, my husband said that it will be fine in a few days."
Lu Daya shook her head, and said to herself: This silly girl, she still doesn't know the truth, so that's fine.
She wiped her tears, forced a smile and said, "Well, it will be fine."
Lu Dongfu wanted to make it clear to her, but because Uncle Peng An still hadn't left, she had to give up.
Uncle Peng An was kinder, and said to Daya Lu, "Go out and catch up with your sister, and I'll have a few words with Qi Zhongyu alone."
Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, and she quickly glanced at her husband, and seeing her nodding at her, she dragged the eldest sister out, so as to explain clearly to her secretly, so as not to make her sad.
In the main room, Qi Zhongyu coughed twice and said, "I don't know what you want to say?"
Uncle Peng An said: "How long have you been suffering from this disease?"
It will never be so seriously ill all at once, there is a process, unless it is an emergency.
Qi Zhongyu thought for a while, but he couldn't act too much, so he sighed and said: "To be honest, this is a strange disease that I suffered from when I was young. My master took me to seek medical advice from all over the world. Years ago, I finally suppressed it, and I was able to get married normally.:
"Only occasional relapses, but after some training, in a few days, you will be able to return to normal."
"I have personally experienced a condition similar to that of my elder brother-in-law, so I understand his mood. Although the prescription is not the same as mine, it should be useful. When my body recovers, I will go to Linxi Village in person. Help the eldest brother-in-law to heal, you don't have to worry."
Uncle Peng An originally only wanted to say a few words of concern, but he didn't want to have such a surprise.
He smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, I'll go back and tell An'er the good news, and let him wait for you to visit for treatment."
Qi Zhongyu responded, stood up with difficulty, and wanted to send him out, but Third Uncle Peng An hurriedly said: "No, I'll just go by myself."
He cupped his hands to bid farewell, and left with two servants. In the yard, he met Lu Daya who was still crying, and said with a frown, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, I'm going home."
This time, Lu Daya wept with joy. She took Lu Dongfu's hand and whispered, "It's fine, it's fine, then I'll go back."
Lu Dongfu's eyes were red, and she said: "After a few days, I will definitely go to visit you with my husband. If the eldest brother-in-law..."
Lu Daya shook her head, lowered her eyes and said, "He's got a lot better these days, and he treats me... well, I'm already content, don't worry." She said goodbye to Lu Dongfu again, and followed The third uncle went down the mountain behind him.
As for how Third Uncle Peng An explained to Uncle Peng An afterwards, Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu did not know.
After Lu Dongfu closed the door and watched the elder sister go away, she hurried back to the main room, saw Qi Zhongyu was drinking tea leisurely, and hurriedly said: "It's my fault, the wronged Xianggong personally came forward to settle the trouble."
Qi Zhongyu said: "It's okay, they came to look for me in the first place, and I didn't let them return without success."
There was a meaningful smile on her face, and Lu Dongfu was very curious, and asked, "What is it?"
Qi Zhongyu stroked his wrist and said, "It's just poisonous powder. After touching it, the body will be numb and itchy for a few days. Although it's not a big problem, it's enough to make people uncomfortable."
She was recuperating next door, and she was not deaf, so she naturally heard their pressing step by step.
After absorbing the internal force into the dantian, he sprinkled some medicinal powder on his wrist, as long as he touched it, his whole body would feel uncomfortable within half an hour.
They also didn't expect to be poisoned, and they probably thought they touched something they shouldn't touch while climbing the mountain.
As for why the others didn't, but the two of them did, it can only be said that they were unlucky. Anyway, the poisonous powder can't be identified by ordinary people, and no one can prove that she poisoned it.
It's just a small way to torture people, as a "return gift" for embarrassing Lu Dongfu.
Lu Dongfu couldn't help laughing, but people are elders, so it's not good to gloat, so she said, "My husband is hungry, I'm simmering chicken soup on the stove, and I'll bring it to you."
Qi Zhongyu was really a little hungry, she nodded, and went to the kitchen with her to serve food, and after returning to the main room to eat, Lu Dongfu hesitated to say: "I don't know if my husband's body has been recuperated?"
Qi Zhongyu shook his head, which disappointed Lu Dongfu.
Qi Zhongyu took a sip of tea and said: "Although he has not fully recovered, he is already half healed. I will retreat for a few more days, and after three days, I will go to Linxi Village. It is the eldest sister's business."
It's important, I'll come back and recuperate slowly after Peng An's treatment. "
Lu Dongfu was also worried about the situation of the eldest sister, so she nodded in response, and watched Qi Zhongyu go to the utility room to continue recuperating.
It wasn't until three days later that Qi Zhongyu opened the door. She went to the kitchen to boil hot water and took a shower. Lu Dongfu also made breakfast. After the two had eaten, they set off for Linxi Village.
Because the mountain road was inconvenient, they did not ride horses this time, but walked over, and finally arrived at Peng's house until the morning.
After knocking on the door, they were led into the main room by another strange boy from the Peng family. They also saw the two heads of the Peng family, three sons and four daughter-in-laws again.
Uncle Peng An and Uncle Peng An's eyes were black and their cheeks were a little thinner. They thought they had been tortured by the poisonous powder these days.
However, they never suspected that it was Qi Zhongyu who did it, because Uncle Peng An's attitude was the same as before, he greeted her very warmly first, and asked about her condition.
Qi Zhongyu answered with a smile, and the two of them asked and answered, and the condensed atmosphere in the main room became somewhat harmonious.
Until Peng Fu talked about the business, he said: "I feel very sorry for letting you come to see a doctor for my weak grandson when you are seriously ill. How about this? I have two 500-year-old ginseng here. Take it back Make soup to replenish your body."
Qi Zhongyu said in his heart: Sure enough, he is worthy of being a family member, he just knows how to behave.
She didn't refuse, took it with a smile, and said, "Thank you, I'm also worried about the elder brother-in-law's health, so it's not too late, why don't we prepare for treatment now."
The Peng family was eager for this, so Peng Fu nodded.
So, Qi Zhongyu and a dozen or so people went to Peng An's courtyard.
Qi Zhongyu ordered the servants to prepare enough hot water, and then put all the medicinal materials in the prescription on the table in the main room, picked out the amount needed this time, and said to Uncle Peng An: "Please do me a favor, put these The herbs are ground separately."
Although Third Uncle Peng An didn't know what he shouldn't have touched these days, and his whole body was itchy and uncomfortable, but it was no problem to handle the medicinal materials.
He responded, because most of the medicinal materials were highly poisonous, so he specially put on insulated gloves.
Seeing this, Peng Fu ordered the female relatives to wait outside the door. Several of the men, including Peng Fu, put on gloves to help handle the medicinal materials.
Qi Zhongyu said in his heart: Although the Peng family is not very good, they really have nothing to say to Peng An.
The way they handled the medicinal materials was very precise, without Qi Zhongyu's reminder, they processed it into the way she needed.
At this time, the servant reported that the hot water had been boiled, Qi Zhongyu responded, and asked them to mix the bath water with a slightly higher temperature in the wooden barrel, and asked Peng An to take off his coat and trousers, bare his upper body, and Wear thin underwear to soak in the wooden barrel first.
And she ordered another servant to bring over the stove for decocting medicine, pick out more than a dozen kinds of medicinal powders, and divide them into two batches. One of the batches is boiled in cold water, and the other half is poured in after the water boils.
Frying slowly on a low heat, it was fried into a bowl of brick-red medicinal soup.
She poured out the medicinal soup and said: "Then I'll go and give this bowl of medicinal soup to my eldest brother-in-law."
Everyone in the Peng family frowned. Although they had already guessed that it was for oral consumption, they saw with their own eyes that Qi Zhongyu had added several highly poisonous herbs to it. Can this kind of thing... really be drunk?Won't it drink people to death?
But the matter has come to this point, they will not stop him halfway, Peng Fu motioned his eldest son to follow Qi Zhongyu with his eyes.
Qi Zhongyu didn't care, and took the pills to the room where Peng An was soaking. His pale skin was already reddened by the slightly scalding hot water.
She handed over the medicinal soup and said: "Brother-in-law, come, take this bowl of medicinal soup."
Peng An glanced at the brick-red medicinal soup. He had been taking medicine since he was a child, but this was the first time he had seen such a medicinal soup.
He couldn't help but glanced at his uncle, seeing him nodding, he took the medicine bowl and drank it down.
The taste is very bitter, but he is used to it, but...
After he was in his stomach, it was as if he had swallowed several sharp knives, piercing the blood in his stomach, and the pain was heart-piercing. He had never experienced this kind of extreme pain before.
He screamed out in pain, his voice was miserable and sharp, which frightened the female members of the Peng family outside the house.
Peng An's mother, Mrs. Zhou, was about to rush in, but was stopped by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Cao, who frowned and stared at the closed door anxiously.
Uncle Peng An asked nervously, "Is this medicine really all right?"
Qi Zhongyu was overjoyed, the medicinal soup was indeed fine, although most of the medicinal materials were poisonous, but after brewing together, it turned into a non-toxic soup.
What's more, it doesn't help Peng An's infirmity. If anything, what she used to torture people is the most powerful laxative.
Of course she didn't tell the truth, but she said in a serious manner: "Of course it's okay, this is just the first step, but... this is a decoction to get rid of the sickness in the five internal organs of the eldest brother-in-law. Excruciating pain."
"Don't worry, the pain is good for his body. After a quarter of an hour, he needs the servant's help to expel this part of the sickness, and then proceed to the next step of treatment."
Uncle Peng An is also a doctor. Hearing this, I think it makes sense. My nephew has been ill for so many years, and his whole body is full of sickness. If he can fight the poison with poison and get rid of it, without the hindrance of sickness, it will be convenient for later treatment.
So, he comforted his nephew and said: "You heard it too, just bear with it for a while."
Peng An's facial features became grim due to the pain, but for him, restoring a healthy body was the obsession in his heart.
He can bear it.
After the pain again, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Qi Zhongyu admired him a little when he saw the blue veins on his forehead bulging, but then he thought about it, when the other party tortured Lu Daya for so many years, did he ever think that Lu Daya was also a body of flesh and blood, and he was still a body? Weak weak woman?
Presumably there has never been, otherwise why would you refuse to change after repeated admonitions?Let Lu Daya, who is eighteen or nineteen years old, be as old as a middle-aged woman, and still afraid of anyone's approach, it can be said that he almost destroyed Lu Daya, a living person.
She did this to avenge Lu Daya and let him have a taste of being tortured by pain.
I hope he can respect himself and others, and cherish Lu Daya from now on, otherwise...
Then simmering herbal food and tonic soup on the kitchen stove, maybe Xianggong can eat it while practicing kung fu.
Although it is more likely that Qi Zhongyu will not be able to eat, and will waste food and money, but money can be made again, but Qi Zhongyu's body must not be delayed.
What's more, they are not short of silver now. Lu Dongfu still has more than 200 taels that Qi Zhongyu gave her before, and a jade bracelet worth a hundred taels. Of course, she will never sell the jade bracelet.
She can also do embroidery work to earn money. During Qi Zhongyu's long trip, she not only sewed a few new sets of clothes for the two of them, but also specially made two exquisite double-sided embroidery work, which were taken to the county seat. His Jinxiu Pavilion was sold, and he made nearly ten taels of silver.
Therefore, she doesn't care about money at all. After the food at home is used up, she can go to the county to buy it.
She got up together with Qi Zhongyu, seeing that she was going to recuperate in the vacated utility room next door, thinking that there was no place to sit there, she hurriedly said: "Should I spread a quilt on the ground? The humidity on the mountain is heavy, if you don't Be careful to catch the wind and cold, it will not be worth the loss."
Qi Zhongyu was stunned for a moment. She used to sit on the ground casually in the snowy mountains of the Western Regions. As long as it wasn't the moment of poisoning, she never got sick. As time passed, she didn't even care about it.
At this moment, hearing Lu Dongfu's concerned proposal, knowing that she was considerate of him, naturally she would not refuse, so she nodded in agreement.
Lu Dongfu pursed her lips and smiled, went back to the bedroom and took a new quilt, thought about it, and took two more cushions.
She made this on a whim before, thinking that she could put it on the stool when she embroidered in the future, and made a few more on purpose, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.
She came out with a lot of things in her arms. Although it looked bulky, it was not heavy. She put it in the utility room next to the main room. It was neatly laid out. She sat on it and tried it, and found that it was very soft. , and couldn't feel the coolness of the ground at all, so he smiled with satisfaction and squinted his eyes.
Then she got up in a panic, looked down at the main room, and realized dully that Qi Zhongyu had disappeared again while she was taking things.
Lu Dongfu panicked for a moment, then thought of her promise to him, and quickly calmed down.
Apart from a few rooms, there was only an empty yard in the house. She searched and couldn't find Qi Zhongyu, so she went outside the yard to look for her figure.
Sure enough, he saw Qi Zhongyu leading the horse and coming down from the forest on the mountain with two bundles in his hands.
When she saw Lu Dongfu, she shook the bag in her hand and said, "I brought you a gift from a long trip this time. I forgot about it because of too many things before. I just thought about it, so I went to find Ma. I took back the burden."
Lu Dongfu had noticed it before, and wanted to take the burden off the horse's back, but this horse was loyal, and the owner, Qi Zhongyu, was not around, so she wouldn't let her touch it, so she put it aside for the time being.
Unexpectedly, this was a gift Qi Zhongyu brought back to her. She felt warm and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Qi Zhongyu said: "Let's go, go into the room and talk."
She threw down the horse's rein and told the horse to wander around and not go too far, so she led Lu Dongfu back to the bedroom, where they sat facing each other, Qi Zhongyu pushed the bundle in front of her, and said, "Open it." come and see."
Lu Dongfu glanced at her, saw her smiling, and obediently unwrapped one of the bundles, which contained a box that looked unpretentious, and she unwrapped another bundle, which was exactly the same as the one just now. Box.
There were locks on both boxes, and under Qi Zhongyu's encouraging eyes, she carefully opened the box on the left, revealing the contents inside.
It looked like two stacks of paper, divided into left and right sides and stacked neatly, she took out one and looked at it, it was 100 taels of silver bills.
she was stunned...
He stared dumbfoundedly at the box full of bank notes, and then at Qi Zhong in a daze.
Yu, seeing her propped her chin and nodded, said: "Here is a 10 taels of silver note, you can keep it."
Ten, 10 taels? !
Lu Dongfu suddenly felt that she didn't wake up today, otherwise, why did she hear Xianggong say that there is 10 taels of silver notes here, or is it a gift she brought back for herself after a long trip?
Qi Zhongyu saw her glaring round eyes, helpless and funny, and said: "It was done in a fair and honest way. I helped that old friend get rid of the wanted by the court. In return, he gave 10 taels of silver. Money and goods are cleared, and the origin is clean. Don't think too much, just take it."
Lu Dongfu nodded blankly, Qi Zhongyu tapped another box with his chin, and said: "This is my old friend. After hearing that I got married, he specially asked me to bring it back for you. He said it was a wedding gift. You take it too."
After finishing speaking, she got up and said, "Then I'm going to the utility room to recuperate. If it's nothing serious, don't come and call me."
Lu Dongfu came back to her senses, hurriedly responded, followed her and sent her into the room, and watched her close the door before she fully recovered.
Thinking of the box full of banknotes placed so casually on the table in the bedroom, she was terrified. She didn't even bother to clean up the dishes in the main room. I went around the house several times, looking for a place to hide the box.
I don't know if it was her illusion, but she just felt that the box was scalding when held in her arms. She changed several places before finally thinking of putting the box in Qi Zhongyu's closet, next to the new clothes she made for Qi Zhongyu. together.Although I was still a little worried, but I thought of a better place to hide the box for the time being, so I had to give up.
Just after heaved a sigh of relief, he glanced at another box on the table from the corner of the eye, and thought: This is a gift for her, the box just now can be obtained at the price of my husband's blood, she will not touch the box easily in the money.
However, this box was also an old friend of Xianggong's, so it was given to him for her sake.
She opened the box with complicated emotions, and as expected, she saw that it was full of gold and silver treasures. She had worked as a maid in Xue Yuan's mansion for more than ten years, and she also broadened her horizons. Any piece of jewelry in the box is worth thousands of gold.
The contents of this box may be more valuable than 10 taels of silver bills.
It's too hot, it shouldn't be something she can have, Lu Dongfu closed the box, put it together with the box just now, and put them in Qi Zhongyu's closet, although they are one as a family, but these Things, she won't touch.
She just thought: Mr. Xiang is really good, hunting in the mountains before was already good enough, but she never thought that she would meet such a big man with such a big money.
Immediately, she couldn't help worrying about Qi Zhongyu. After all, she helped that old friend who was wanted by the court, which was against the court. If the court knew about it, she would definitely be regarded as an accomplice and be arrested by the government.
Of course, with my husband's ability, she wouldn't fall into the hands of the government, but she couldn't do it herself. She was a weak woman with no power to restrain her, and she would definitely become a burden to her husband.
This is something she absolutely does not want to see.
She thought about it, and planned to tell him that after his health recuperated, he would practice martial arts with her. Although she may not be effective in martial arts at such an old age, as long as she can not hold him back, she will Do your best.
She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to face the government. Although she was very afraid of the government as an ordinary citizen, as long as she was with her husband, she would not be afraid of anything.
She was full of fighting spirit, thinking of the uncleared dishes in the main room, she hurriedly cleared the table, washed the dishes, and boiled hot water to take a bath.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, it was already night, and she was lying on the bed alone, listening to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Then I lit the lantern and went to the embroidery room next door. I set up the embroidery frame and a set of tools, and drew a few sketches on the table. I chose the best one. Out of the general outline.
It wasn't until she fell asleep that she blew out the lights in the house.
Candlelight, went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.
In the next few days, after she prepared three meals a day, she would clear away the food placed outside the door of the utility room. When she saw that most of the food on the plate was eaten, she pursed her lips and smiled; Without moving, she pursed her mouth in worry.
Helplessly, she can embroider when she has nothing to do during the day, so she has never met Qi Zhongyu, and she doesn't know how her injuries are recuperating.
On this day, she was in the embroidery room, continuing her previous embroidery work, when she heard the sound of the courtyard door being slammed.
Lu Dongfu was startled, wondering who would come to the door.
She put down her embroidery tools, got up and straightened her appearance, and looked through the crack of the door, and saw her eldest sister Lu Daya and some men she didn't know.
Lu Dongfu was overwhelmed with surprise, hurriedly opened the courtyard door, held Daya Lu's hand, and said, "Sister, why are you here?"
Lu Daya had just climbed up the mountain, she was still breathing, looked at her with a smile, and said intermittently: "I'll come and see you."
Lu Dongfu was overjoyed, and was about to hold the elder sister's hand to enter the door, then noticed a few men behind her, lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Elder sister, who are they?"
Lu Daya took a deep breath and said, "Second sister, don't worry, they came with me. They are relatives of the Peng family. This is Xianggong's second uncle, and that one is third uncle. Behind them is the close-knit Boy."
Although she didn't explain the purpose of her visit, Lu Dongfu had already guessed it, and she felt a little embarrassed, because the husband was still recovering from his injuries in the utility room, so it was inconvenient to show up, but it would be too rude to let them go back like this.
She could only open the far door and said: "You have worked hard all the way here, let's sit down in the room and talk about it."
Peng An's second and third uncles breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words.
They were exhausted today. Early in the morning, they were ordered to take their nephew and daughter-in-law to travel across the mountains from Linxi Village to Yuehe Village to visit Qi Zhongyu's house, but when they got there and knocked on the door, the courtyard door was closed and no one was there. Respond.
They found someone to inquire again, only to find out that Qi Zhongyu no longer lives here, and moved to live in the courtyard on the mountain a few days ago.
For Peng An's health, they couldn't return without success, so they could only bite the bullet and rush to Yuenan Mountain, looking at the faintly visible yard on the mountain, swallowed their saliva, lifted their clothes and tried their best to climb up the mountain.
After running around all morning, I finally saw people. Their legs were weak from running, and they were just about to sit down and rest.
So, they responded with smiles, and entered the yard together with their nephew and daughter-in-law.
It can be seen that the courtyard is newly built, and it does not occupy a large area. It is not comparable to Peng's house, or even a small farmyard. However, although the sparrow is small and complete, the furnishings in the main room are also warm and comfortable.
They sat on the stools and drank the tea made by Lu Dongfu. The third uncle Peng An became more lively and said, "Excuse me, where is your husband? I don't want to hide it. We came here specially for him alone." A prescription left for my nephew Peng An many months ago."
"We have already sent people to search for all the medicinal materials in the prescription. Could you ask Qi Zhongyu to treat my nephew's body? Of course, we will not ask him to help for nothing, and we will definitely give him enough money for consultation."
Sure enough, Lu Dongfu thought, she had a troubled look on her face, and when Lu Daya saw this, she asked anxiously, "Second Sister, what's wrong?"
Lu Dongfu said: "I'm really sorry, my husband-in-law went on a long trip a few days ago and caught a cold. She coughed intermittently these days. She was afraid of infecting me, so she locked herself in the room and didn't even see me. , said that it will come out naturally when the body recovers, but..."
With a sad look on her face, she said: "So, it's really a coincidence, but I will convey your thoughts to my husband. When she recovers from her illness, I will definitely go to Peng'an to treat her brother-in-law as soon as possible."
Peng An's second and third uncles looked at each other when they heard the words, not knowing whether what she said was true or not, subconsciously glanced at Lu Daya, hoping she would persuade Lu Dongfu.
Lu Daya stirred the hem of her clothes for a long time, and said, "Second sister, since the second brother-in-law is not feeling well, I won't force it, and I will come to the door again some other day."
visit. "
Lu Dongfu hurriedly said: "What is the big sister talking about? After a few days, I will go to Peng'an with my husband. You don't need to come here again. It's too hard."
Lu Daya was very moved and said, "Second Sister..."
Lu Dongfu also held her hand, and comforted her: "Don't worry, since Xianggong has prescribed the medicine, he will never let it go."
Having said that, Peng An's second and third uncles were not very comfortable. They glared at Lu Daya with hatred, and always felt that Qi Zhongyu was avoiding him on purpose. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that when they came, The other party caught the cold?
But after thinking about it, Qi Zhongyu did go to Peng An's shop more than half a month ago and bought high-quality medicinal materials worth several hundred taels, most of which were used to replenish his body. Could it be that he was already unwell at that time?
If Qi Zhongyu really got sick, it definitely wasn't because of a cold, it could only be a more serious illness, which even the best medicinal materials couldn't cure.
Could it be that the reason why he went out of the hospital was because he felt that he could not find a doctor to treat his body in Siyuan County, so he went to another place to seek medical treatment?
But up to now, she still stays behind closed doors, and even doesn’t see her face, isn’t it...
They had an ominous premonition in their hearts. In their view, there was no cure for their nephew's illness. Only Qi Zhongyu gave them a glimmer of hope.
But if something happens to Qi Zhongyu as hope, the nephew's illness...
Their hearts were not good, so they quickly stood up and suggested: "I am a doctor, I wonder if I can diagnose his pulse, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, maybe they can cure his illness."
Lu Dongfu carefully looked at the expressions on their faces, and saw that they were really worried. This worry was not out of concern for Qi Zhongyu's condition, but because he was afraid that something happened to Qi Zhongyu, which would affect Peng An's condition.
She was entangled in her heart, the husband was not really sick, she just said it casually, but hit the iron plate, forgetting that the members of the Peng family are all doctors, and their medical skills are also very good.
She could only reject the other party's 'good intentions' and said: "Isn't it appropriate, if the husband infects the two elders, then..."
Peng An's second uncle and third uncle were also a little hesitant when they heard the words, but when they thought of the fourth brother who died young, and the health condition of his nephew Peng An became worse.
They gritted their teeth, and the third uncle of the Peng family smiled stiffly and said, "It's okay, the doctor is a parent. What's more, since Qi Zhongyu is my nephew's brother-in-law, he is a relative of my Peng family. We will never ignore it. Please lead the way."
Lu Dongfu: ...
She became even more flustered. Lu Daya was keenly aware of this, and said to her second uncle: "Second uncle, my husband-in-law has been ill for a while, and it's not too late. The second brother-in-law doesn't see guests, there will always be His reasoning is that after he takes care of his health, he will heal his illness, so there is no need to be in a hurry."
Second Uncle Peng An looked at her coldly, feeling that she was turning her elbows outward, and that she didn't even care about her husband, so it was no wonder that she was rejected by her nephew.
He lowered his eyes and said: "My nephew and daughter-in-law's words are inappropriate. It is precisely because the younger generation is sick. As the elders, I should take the initiative to help her with diagnosis and treatment. If there is any delay, the minor illness will be delayed." Serious illness, can you take the blame for this?"
Lu Daya's face was pale, her lips were pursed, but she didn't dare to speak again.
Lu Dongfu looked furious, and said in a blunt tone: "Don't let the two elders worry about it. My husband is an adult, and he is very clear about his body. He said that he will recover in a few days, so then Let's talk about it in a few days. Otherwise, even if Xianggong barely supports his sick body to see a doctor for brother-in-law, maybe his hands will tremble and he will accidentally touch brother-in-law..."
Uncle Peng An's expression was very ugly when he heard that, and he also knew that what she said made sense.
But their Peng family waited for many years, and finally found a way to heal their nephew's body, and they verified it was indeed effective. Naturally, they refused to let it go, and they were unwilling to continue to delay.
He wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by his younger brother. The third uncle of the Peng family squinted his eyes and said, "In this case, I won't force it anymore. It's just that if this wind-cold disease is delayed, it will miss the chance of treatment. Illness will also become a serious illness.
He will cough up blood, and if he wants to treat it again, he will be powerless. "
Lu Dongfu pursed her lips and said to herself: Is this a threat?If he didn't know that Qi Zhongyu was not Fenghan, he might have been frightened by his words.
She lowered her eyes, and just about to say something, she heard the sound of the door opening next door, she was stunned for a moment, realized that Qi Zhongyu must have come out, hurriedly walked out of the door, and saw Qi Zhongyu blinking at her.
She walked towards the main room, coughing in a low voice from time to time, and stretched out her hand to Lu Dongfu.
Lu Dongfu understood, lowered her head and suppressed a smile, and helped her husband to sit on the stool in the main room.
Peng An's second and third uncles were pleasantly surprised when they saw him.
Qi Zhongyu said in a weak tone: "I still look at the two elders, Haihan. It was because I was unwell a few days ago that I closed the door to thank the guests, but I heard the voices of several conversations vaguely, and I was really worried about the elder brother-in-law's health, so I supported the sick body , Come here and apologize to the two elders in person."
The second uncle of the Peng family looked him over from head to toe, and he saw that he was weak and pale, as if he had suffered from a serious illness.
The third uncle of the Peng family hurriedly said: "It's okay, but what kind of illness did you suffer from, and what did the doctor say? If you don't mind, I happen to have a little understanding of pharmacology, so I can help you diagnose one or two, so that you won't be misdiagnosed by quack doctors."
He insisted on taking Qi Zhongyu's pulse, not really worried about his body.
On the one hand, he wants to see whether Qi Zhongyu is really sick or fake. On the other hand, he wants to know how sick Qi Zhongyu is if he is really sick, and whether he will delay the treatment of his nephew.
Qi Zhongyu hurriedly thanked him, and said, "Of course I don't mind, then I will trouble you."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, revealing her bluish-white wrist. Third Uncle Peng An felt something was wrong just by looking at his skin color.
If it wasn't for the other person's pulse still beating, he would have thought that he was checking the pulse of a dead person.
He immediately believed half of it in his heart, and after the pulse was checked, his brows tightened, and he believed it completely.
He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's hard, I've never seen this pulse before, but it's intermittent, lifeless, and extremely weak. You must have a good rest and take care of your body."
Qi Zhongyu bowed his head, and replied in disappointment.
Second Uncle Peng An didn't quite trust his younger brother's medical skills. His medical skills were the highest besides his father Peng Fu's. Seeing this, he said, "Please allow me to try."
Uncle Peng An gave up his seat and asked him to take Qi Zhongyu's pulse. He was silent for a moment, and found that it was true as his younger brother said.
This pulse is extremely vain, like the pulse of a dying person.
He was very anxious. If Qi Zhongyu really died, they would find someone to heal Peng An in a short time. Thinking of this, he couldn't help complaining about the other party. If he didn't tell the prescription, they would have gotten used to Peng An's weak health. In fact, there is no ray of hope.
But now, he was about to die, and Peng An's condition could not be healed. He couldn't even imagine how sad his parents and fourth siblings were.
With a long sigh, he swung his sleeves and strode away, and his two servants also got up and followed.
After watching the whole process, Lu Daya believed it to be true, tears fell down immediately, feeling both uncomfortable and distressed.
I feel sorry for Qi Zhongyu who is going to die young at such a young age; I also feel sorry for the second sister who is going to be a widow. God is so cruel to the two sisters.
Seeing that she was crying hard, Lu Dongfu hurried forward and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, my husband said that it will be fine in a few days."
Lu Daya shook her head, and said to herself: This silly girl, she still doesn't know the truth, so that's fine.
She wiped her tears, forced a smile and said, "Well, it will be fine."
Lu Dongfu wanted to make it clear to her, but because Uncle Peng An still hadn't left, she had to give up.
Uncle Peng An was kinder, and said to Daya Lu, "Go out and catch up with your sister, and I'll have a few words with Qi Zhongyu alone."
Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, and she quickly glanced at her husband, and seeing her nodding at her, she dragged the eldest sister out, so as to explain clearly to her secretly, so as not to make her sad.
In the main room, Qi Zhongyu coughed twice and said, "I don't know what you want to say?"
Uncle Peng An said: "How long have you been suffering from this disease?"
It will never be so seriously ill all at once, there is a process, unless it is an emergency.
Qi Zhongyu thought for a while, but he couldn't act too much, so he sighed and said: "To be honest, this is a strange disease that I suffered from when I was young. My master took me to seek medical advice from all over the world. Years ago, I finally suppressed it, and I was able to get married normally.:
"Only occasional relapses, but after some training, in a few days, you will be able to return to normal."
"I have personally experienced a condition similar to that of my elder brother-in-law, so I understand his mood. Although the prescription is not the same as mine, it should be useful. When my body recovers, I will go to Linxi Village in person. Help the eldest brother-in-law to heal, you don't have to worry."
Uncle Peng An originally only wanted to say a few words of concern, but he didn't want to have such a surprise.
He smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, I'll go back and tell An'er the good news, and let him wait for you to visit for treatment."
Qi Zhongyu responded, stood up with difficulty, and wanted to send him out, but Third Uncle Peng An hurriedly said: "No, I'll just go by myself."
He cupped his hands to bid farewell, and left with two servants. In the yard, he met Lu Daya who was still crying, and said with a frown, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, I'm going home."
This time, Lu Daya wept with joy. She took Lu Dongfu's hand and whispered, "It's fine, it's fine, then I'll go back."
Lu Dongfu's eyes were red, and she said: "After a few days, I will definitely go to visit you with my husband. If the eldest brother-in-law..."
Lu Daya shook her head, lowered her eyes and said, "He's got a lot better these days, and he treats me... well, I'm already content, don't worry." She said goodbye to Lu Dongfu again, and followed The third uncle went down the mountain behind him.
As for how Third Uncle Peng An explained to Uncle Peng An afterwards, Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu did not know.
After Lu Dongfu closed the door and watched the elder sister go away, she hurried back to the main room, saw Qi Zhongyu was drinking tea leisurely, and hurriedly said: "It's my fault, the wronged Xianggong personally came forward to settle the trouble."
Qi Zhongyu said: "It's okay, they came to look for me in the first place, and I didn't let them return without success."
There was a meaningful smile on her face, and Lu Dongfu was very curious, and asked, "What is it?"
Qi Zhongyu stroked his wrist and said, "It's just poisonous powder. After touching it, the body will be numb and itchy for a few days. Although it's not a big problem, it's enough to make people uncomfortable."
She was recuperating next door, and she was not deaf, so she naturally heard their pressing step by step.
After absorbing the internal force into the dantian, he sprinkled some medicinal powder on his wrist, as long as he touched it, his whole body would feel uncomfortable within half an hour.
They also didn't expect to be poisoned, and they probably thought they touched something they shouldn't touch while climbing the mountain.
As for why the others didn't, but the two of them did, it can only be said that they were unlucky. Anyway, the poisonous powder can't be identified by ordinary people, and no one can prove that she poisoned it.
It's just a small way to torture people, as a "return gift" for embarrassing Lu Dongfu.
Lu Dongfu couldn't help laughing, but people are elders, so it's not good to gloat, so she said, "My husband is hungry, I'm simmering chicken soup on the stove, and I'll bring it to you."
Qi Zhongyu was really a little hungry, she nodded, and went to the kitchen with her to serve food, and after returning to the main room to eat, Lu Dongfu hesitated to say: "I don't know if my husband's body has been recuperated?"
Qi Zhongyu shook his head, which disappointed Lu Dongfu.
Qi Zhongyu took a sip of tea and said: "Although he has not fully recovered, he is already half healed. I will retreat for a few more days, and after three days, I will go to Linxi Village. It is the eldest sister's business."
It's important, I'll come back and recuperate slowly after Peng An's treatment. "
Lu Dongfu was also worried about the situation of the eldest sister, so she nodded in response, and watched Qi Zhongyu go to the utility room to continue recuperating.
It wasn't until three days later that Qi Zhongyu opened the door. She went to the kitchen to boil hot water and took a shower. Lu Dongfu also made breakfast. After the two had eaten, they set off for Linxi Village.
Because the mountain road was inconvenient, they did not ride horses this time, but walked over, and finally arrived at Peng's house until the morning.
After knocking on the door, they were led into the main room by another strange boy from the Peng family. They also saw the two heads of the Peng family, three sons and four daughter-in-laws again.
Uncle Peng An and Uncle Peng An's eyes were black and their cheeks were a little thinner. They thought they had been tortured by the poisonous powder these days.
However, they never suspected that it was Qi Zhongyu who did it, because Uncle Peng An's attitude was the same as before, he greeted her very warmly first, and asked about her condition.
Qi Zhongyu answered with a smile, and the two of them asked and answered, and the condensed atmosphere in the main room became somewhat harmonious.
Until Peng Fu talked about the business, he said: "I feel very sorry for letting you come to see a doctor for my weak grandson when you are seriously ill. How about this? I have two 500-year-old ginseng here. Take it back Make soup to replenish your body."
Qi Zhongyu said in his heart: Sure enough, he is worthy of being a family member, he just knows how to behave.
She didn't refuse, took it with a smile, and said, "Thank you, I'm also worried about the elder brother-in-law's health, so it's not too late, why don't we prepare for treatment now."
The Peng family was eager for this, so Peng Fu nodded.
So, Qi Zhongyu and a dozen or so people went to Peng An's courtyard.
Qi Zhongyu ordered the servants to prepare enough hot water, and then put all the medicinal materials in the prescription on the table in the main room, picked out the amount needed this time, and said to Uncle Peng An: "Please do me a favor, put these The herbs are ground separately."
Although Third Uncle Peng An didn't know what he shouldn't have touched these days, and his whole body was itchy and uncomfortable, but it was no problem to handle the medicinal materials.
He responded, because most of the medicinal materials were highly poisonous, so he specially put on insulated gloves.
Seeing this, Peng Fu ordered the female relatives to wait outside the door. Several of the men, including Peng Fu, put on gloves to help handle the medicinal materials.
Qi Zhongyu said in his heart: Although the Peng family is not very good, they really have nothing to say to Peng An.
The way they handled the medicinal materials was very precise, without Qi Zhongyu's reminder, they processed it into the way she needed.
At this time, the servant reported that the hot water had been boiled, Qi Zhongyu responded, and asked them to mix the bath water with a slightly higher temperature in the wooden barrel, and asked Peng An to take off his coat and trousers, bare his upper body, and Wear thin underwear to soak in the wooden barrel first.
And she ordered another servant to bring over the stove for decocting medicine, pick out more than a dozen kinds of medicinal powders, and divide them into two batches. One of the batches is boiled in cold water, and the other half is poured in after the water boils.
Frying slowly on a low heat, it was fried into a bowl of brick-red medicinal soup.
She poured out the medicinal soup and said: "Then I'll go and give this bowl of medicinal soup to my eldest brother-in-law."
Everyone in the Peng family frowned. Although they had already guessed that it was for oral consumption, they saw with their own eyes that Qi Zhongyu had added several highly poisonous herbs to it. Can this kind of thing... really be drunk?Won't it drink people to death?
But the matter has come to this point, they will not stop him halfway, Peng Fu motioned his eldest son to follow Qi Zhongyu with his eyes.
Qi Zhongyu didn't care, and took the pills to the room where Peng An was soaking. His pale skin was already reddened by the slightly scalding hot water.
She handed over the medicinal soup and said: "Brother-in-law, come, take this bowl of medicinal soup."
Peng An glanced at the brick-red medicinal soup. He had been taking medicine since he was a child, but this was the first time he had seen such a medicinal soup.
He couldn't help but glanced at his uncle, seeing him nodding, he took the medicine bowl and drank it down.
The taste is very bitter, but he is used to it, but...
After he was in his stomach, it was as if he had swallowed several sharp knives, piercing the blood in his stomach, and the pain was heart-piercing. He had never experienced this kind of extreme pain before.
He screamed out in pain, his voice was miserable and sharp, which frightened the female members of the Peng family outside the house.
Peng An's mother, Mrs. Zhou, was about to rush in, but was stopped by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Cao, who frowned and stared at the closed door anxiously.
Uncle Peng An asked nervously, "Is this medicine really all right?"
Qi Zhongyu was overjoyed, the medicinal soup was indeed fine, although most of the medicinal materials were poisonous, but after brewing together, it turned into a non-toxic soup.
What's more, it doesn't help Peng An's infirmity. If anything, what she used to torture people is the most powerful laxative.
Of course she didn't tell the truth, but she said in a serious manner: "Of course it's okay, this is just the first step, but... this is a decoction to get rid of the sickness in the five internal organs of the eldest brother-in-law. Excruciating pain."
"Don't worry, the pain is good for his body. After a quarter of an hour, he needs the servant's help to expel this part of the sickness, and then proceed to the next step of treatment."
Uncle Peng An is also a doctor. Hearing this, I think it makes sense. My nephew has been ill for so many years, and his whole body is full of sickness. If he can fight the poison with poison and get rid of it, without the hindrance of sickness, it will be convenient for later treatment.
So, he comforted his nephew and said: "You heard it too, just bear with it for a while."
Peng An's facial features became grim due to the pain, but for him, restoring a healthy body was the obsession in his heart.
He can bear it.
After the pain again, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Qi Zhongyu admired him a little when he saw the blue veins on his forehead bulging, but then he thought about it, when the other party tortured Lu Daya for so many years, did he ever think that Lu Daya was also a body of flesh and blood, and he was still a body? Weak weak woman?
Presumably there has never been, otherwise why would you refuse to change after repeated admonitions?Let Lu Daya, who is eighteen or nineteen years old, be as old as a middle-aged woman, and still afraid of anyone's approach, it can be said that he almost destroyed Lu Daya, a living person.
She did this to avenge Lu Daya and let him have a taste of being tortured by pain.
I hope he can respect himself and others, and cherish Lu Daya from now on, otherwise...
