Chapter 31: Just be filial and honest (1)
After seeing off the Ruan brothers and sisters by the Ruhe River, they passed by Zhixin's house when they came back. Zhixin hurriedly called Shu Yan aside and wanted to see his wounds. Shu Yan refused: "I told you, it's just a skin injury, what's wrong with it?"
Pretty?"
Zhixin refused: "No, how can I feel relieved if I don't take a look at the injuries you suffered for me?"
Shu Yan couldn't resist, so she had to unbutton her clothes and expose her left shoulder. Zhixin peeled off the cloth wrapped around Shu Yan's left shoulder layer by layer. The more she peeled it off, the more nervous she felt. In the end, her hands were shaking. She
Pretending to be calm, he peeled it off and said, "How can you use such old cloth?"
I peeled off the last layer, but it couldn't be peeled off. The wound and the cloth were stuck together.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Although it was a skin injury, the wound scratched by the wolf's claws was still very painful. Although it hurt, Shu Yan endured it and did not show it.
"You just used an old cloth to bandage it, but why didn't you even apply a little medicine?" Zhixin said, walking out of the house. When she came back, she held a pot of warm water, wound medicine, and a new piece of silk.
Shu Yan saw this and hurriedly declined: "Forget it, it doesn't hurt at first, but it will hurt as soon as you move it."
Zhixin said angrily: "How can that be done? It's such a cold day and we haven't applied any medicine yet. Once the wound is frozen in the cold weather, it will be troublesome." As she said that, she dipped the old piece of old piece of water into it bit by bit.
The cloth was peeled off, and four deep claw marks suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
, Zhixin almost cried. The wolf's grasp was originally on Zhixin, but was blocked by Shu Yan. She couldn't bear to look at it, but she couldn't help but look at it. She carefully applied the medicine, and then
Wrap up the new piece of silk. It's soft between your fingers.
Love, this tenderness passed through Shu Yan's shoulders and spread into Shu Yan's heart, forming a warm current in Shu Yan's heart. This warm current passed through Zhi Xin's fingers and reached Zhi Xin's heart. The two of them recalled facing the wolves at the same time.
When life and death are at stake, the two of them
People echoed the two lines of the poem, "Grown is in a different room, death is in the same hole." Shu Yan lowered his head and said nothing, and Zhixin even blushed with embarrassment. Thinking about it now, Zhixin not only did not hate those wolves, but was actually grateful to them.
, because she finally knew Shu Yan’s affection for her.
"It turns out that the Book of Songs is not reversed. I said, 'A gentleman is happy, and he is blessed with happiness.' Sure enough, we survived the catastrophe." Zhixin broke the embarrassment.
The "Book of Songs" protected them from death, but it did not protect them from leaving scars. Despite Zhixin's careful bandaging, there were still four shallow scars left in the deep wounds, like a flower.
Like plum blossoms. Except for the scar, Shu Yan's left arm has recovered as before and can move freely.
After Shu Yan killed the wolf, the remaining four wolves also hid far away in the mountains and disappeared. From then on, people and animals in Shujiazhuang were safe, and people could travel with confidence. Shu Yan did something for the people in his hometown again.
He did a good deed and once again won the admiration of the villagers.
It was approaching the twelfth lunar month, and the weather was getting colder and colder. This morning, the sky was overcast. Shu Yan took a load of firewood he had chopped yesterday to sell in Ruyin City. It happened that Eunuch Tang also came that day, and the two chatted.
After a few words, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Fortunately, a buyer came and bought the
Shu Yan bought the firewood, and Shu Yan followed the man home with the firewood and received the money. At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier. He wanted to go home, but he was worried about Eunuch Tang again. He turned back to the market,
When we arrived at the market, it was almost noon, and Eunuch Tang was just about to pack up and leave, but his Polyporus cocos was still not sold.
Shu Yan rushed forward, took the basket from Eunuch Tang's arm, and said: "Eunuch Tang, the road is slippery due to heavy snow, I will take you home." Eunuch Tang did not refuse. Shu Yan took the wood he was carrying to carry firewood.
The stick carried the basket on his right shoulder, and his left hand helped Eunuch Tang go home. The snow was falling,
The snow that had just started to fall had melted, and new snow continued to cover it. The road was very slippery. Eunuch Tang staggered and almost fell several times, but Shu Yan helped him. He finally got Eunuch Tang home. It turned out that Eunuch Tang's house was far away.
The Ruyin County Government Office is not far away, slightly to the west.
When he arrived at Eunuch Tang's house, Shu Yan was about to leave without entering. Eunuch Tang was grateful, but not overly enthusiastic. He twitched the corners of his mouth twice and just said lightly: "Young man, let's have dinner before leaving."
Shu Yan said: "No, my grandpa is still waiting for me at home!" Shu Yan was afraid that Dr. Shu would miss him, so he hurried back. On the way home, the snow kept falling, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and the wind was mixed with snowflakes.
There was a layer of white on his head and body. The snow was getting thicker and thicker, and the road was not so slippery. He half-squinted his eyes to identify the road, and a pair of hemp shoes were soaked and cold. He did not dare to delay for a moment.
However, moving forward in the wind and snow will naturally be much slower. By the time he arrived at Shujiazhuang, it was already more than an hour later than usual. Shu Yan took a breath and walked towards his home, thinking: Finally, I'm home.
Grandpa is still waiting for me to eat. With such heavy snow, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out for ten days. Even if I don't go out, I can help Ruoxin read, or ask my grandpa for advice on the Five Classics.
Shu Yan saw from a distance the path inside and outside his courtyard. Half of it was covered with thick snow, and the other half had only a thin layer. It seemed that it had just been swept. At the boundary between the two paths, there seemed to be a person lying on his body covered with snow.
There was a layer of snow on the ground. When he saw something bad, he ran over. Unexpectedly, he fell down in a hurry. He jumped up, rushed over, and shouted: "Grandpa...
…”
"Yan'er...are you back?" Dr. Shu's lips were trembling because he fell on the snow and was cold and painful.
Shu Yan was almost in tears: "Grandpa, why are you out here in such heavy snow? Come on, I'll help you go back."
"It's snowing so heavily...it's so late...I'm a little worried about you...so I came out to take a look...and sweep the snow away...I don't want to be old and useless...this is the fall...
…Unexpectedly…I can’t get up.” Dr. Shu said intermittently while trying to struggle to get up.
But no matter how hard he struggled, Dr. Shu's left leg just couldn't get up, and the pain was unbearable. Shu Yan looked at it and said, "Grandpa, your leg is broken, right?"
Dr. Shu just gritted his teeth and was speechless.
"Don't move, don't use force, I'll carry you back to the house!"
Shu Yan dusted off the snow on Dr. Shu's body, carefully carried Dr. Shu on his back, walked step by step to the room, slowly put Dr. Shu on the bed, and then poured a bowl of hot water for Dr. Shu to drink.
"Grandpa, you lie down first, I'll call the doctor." Shu Yan didn't bother to eat, so he immediately went to call the doctor Liu.
This Dr. Liu was the one who treated Zhixin's mother Liu. The two people were from the same village, but they were too distantly related. Liu's illness was all attributed to this Dr. Liu, and not only did the Han family's medical clinic confiscate
Money, and the medicines he prescribes are all economical and effective medicinal materials. This person is a bit weird. Even though he is just a small doctor, he has a lot of airs. For example
If you are someone he doesn't like, no matter how rich and powerful you are, or how urgent your condition is, he will not treat you; if you meet a poor person, he will diagnose your pulse, write a prescription and leave without taking any money.
That day, Dr. Liu stayed at home and told his apprentice: "It's snowing so heavily today. Anyone who comes to ask for help will be sent back to me and won't go anywhere." After saying that, he went back to the house to rest.
The apprentice was reading a medical book when he heard someone knocking on the door. As soon as he opened the door, Shu Yan walked in. The apprentice stopped Shu Yan and said, "Stop, what are you going to do?"
"It's snowing heavily today. My grandpa's leg was broken. I'm here to call Dr. Liu."
"No, my master said that I won't go if anyone comes to invite me today!"
"Why are you like this? Didn't I just say that my grandpa didn't just have a sore back and a headache, but his leg was broken. Now it hurts so much that I can't even speak. Why don't you prioritize!"
"Your grandpa broke his leg. It's snowing so hard and my master is so old. Aren't you afraid that he might also fall?"
Doctor Liu heard two people quarreling in front of the door and asked: "Apprentice, who is quarreling in front of the door?"
His apprentice replied: "It's Shu Yan from Shujiazhuang."
When Dr. Liu heard that it was Shu Yan, he immediately sat up and asked, "What is he here for?"
"He said that his grandpa's leg was broken because of the snow, and he wants you to go and have a look."
"Tell Shu Xiaolang to go back first, I will be there soon." Doctor Liu got out of bed and told his apprentice, "Disciple, hurry up, prepare the donkey and go to Shujiazhuang."
His apprentice pouted and said: "Master, didn't you say that no matter who comes today, you will give them back? It turns out that you have become a good person and only let me offend others!"
"Disciple, if the Shu Yan family hadn't come to invite me, today I would have been the Prime Minister of Ruyin State Qiu Guo. I wouldn't have gone if General Shi's family had come to invite me. But the Shu family is different. There are three generations of gentlemen in the Shu family. The old doctor is loyal to the old dynasty; Shu An and his wife are
flooded
Go; at a young age, this young master Shu Yan turned against his master and served his old servant as a servant. He did not hesitate to offend the Shi family and corrected his family's rice harvest for the sake of the villagers. Not long ago, he got rid of the evil wolf for the villagers. This
How can I not go when something happens at the gentleman's house?"
While he was talking, Dr. Liu had already mounted his donkey and said, "The wind and snow are really heavy. Disciple, please don't go and stay at home to look after the house."
The apprentice was eager to say something, closed the door and went back.
Shu Yan saw Dr. Liu coming out and took the donkey's reins: "Doctor Liu, I'm here to move the donkey for you."
Doctor Liu asked curiously: "Hey, didn't I tell you to go back first? Why didn't you go back?"
"I'm afraid you won't go, and I'm worried. I'll wait for you here for a while."
"What a filial and good boy."
Dr. Shu drank hot water, and his body recovered a little, and he stopped shaking so much. Doctor Liu checked Dr. Shu's leg injury, shook his head, and touched his forehead, which felt a little warm. Then he closed his eyes and checked for pulse.
After the diagnosis on both hands was completed, Shu Yan hurriedly asked: "How is my grandpa's leg?"
"The old doctor suffered a broken kneecap and a ruptured hamstring."
"What should we do?"
"If it were left to a young person, this kind of injury might be recoverable, but your grandpa is already a 70-year-old man. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed in the future."
Shu Yan didn't expect it to be so serious: "Doctor Liu, please think of a way to treat my grandpa, no matter how much it costs."
"This is not a matter of money. I will naturally prescribe medicine to relieve pain and remove blood stasis to protect him from pain, but this leg injury is definitely irreversible."
Seeing that Shu Yan was sad, Dr. Shu comforted him and said, "Yan'er, Dr. Liu is right. Since ancient times, not many people can live to my age. I am already in my twilight years, my muscles and bones are rotten.
How can I recover? It’s okay for me to suffer a little, but it will only hurt you in the future.”
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely take care of you like I take care of Eunuch Xie."
Dr. Liu wrote two prescriptions, one for relieving pain and removing blood stasis, and one for dispelling wind and cold. He also told Shu Yan: "Although your grandpa's leg injury is serious, it is not fatal. The important thing now is that the old doctor's injury is
Wind and cold, if the wind and cold are not dispelled in time, it may be a fatal disease. For now, I will focus on this prescription to dispel wind and cold, and drink more water."
