Queen of Flowers

Chapter 15: Feng Liao visits again

Views:

When seeing Feng Liao, Yong Ruo was very surprised: she thought that the two of them would never meet again, unless she begged him with that famous card.

When Feng Liao left last time, she clearly made up her mind to say goodbye to her silently!

"Why did you come here?" Yong Ruo stood behind the threshold, firmly grasping the two slightly opened doors with both hands, blocking the whole person in the middle.

This kind of body language gives people a strong feeling of "I don't welcome you"—that's what Yong Ruo reacted to when Mrs. Jin next door brought the bowl of finger-washing soup to take advantage of her.

Feng Liao coughed slightly uncomfortably, then put her hands behind her back, raised her chin, and said arrogantly: "I can't come, my lord?"

Yong Ruo came back to his senses, and smiled softly: "How come? The little girl is just a little surprised." She opened the door wide, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation, "My lord, please!"

Feng Liao walked in with her head held high, and said as she walked, "Your plum blossoms are in full bloom! The flower that I brought back to put in the vase was snatched by others, so I had to ask for another one."

Yong Ruo couldn't help smiling: "Young master can send someone to talk about some trivial matters, so why bother to go there?"

She was half a step behind Mr. Feng, and also walked towards the courtyard. Su Mingjian and Rob, who followed Mr. Feng, also came in, while the rest of the servants stood guard outside the door.

To Yong Ruo's question, Feng Liao answered fluently: "Plum blossoms are in various poses, and I am afraid that others will lose sight of you, and I won't be able to pick the one I like!"

Yong Ruo lowered his head slightly, and curled the corners of his mouth silently: This is quite a reason to bluff people.

"The young master, please choose whatever you want. The little girl said before: This plum tree, the young master digs out the roots, it doesn't matter."

"Let's take a look! If one day the interest comes, I will come and dig up the roots!" Feng Liao gritted her teeth and walked into the yard.

He swept his gaze across the yard, and then fell on the fence surrounded by bamboo nails under the courtyard wall: "Why is there an extra fence there?" He said, walking towards the fence, " Did you make it up yourself?"

Yong Ruo couldn't help but looked at him in surprise. Is this Mr. Feng a keen observer, or did he hear some rumors and came to see it on purpose

However, her position at this time, coupled with the movement of Mr. Feng's head tilted, made it impossible for her to see Mr. Feng's expression clearly, and it was impossible for her to judge what kind of situation it was.

After thinking about it, she decided to tell the truth and provoke Mr. Feng: "I made it up by myself. The little girl thought that the house was full of women and children, and the wall was not high, so she set up a bamboo nail array there. If someone breaks in Come on, I can cripple his feet first, and then capture him easily. Young master, don't step into that fence!"

"Bamboo nail array?" Mr. Feng stood by the fence and looked inside the fence curiously. Unfortunately, there was a layer of bamboo branches and leaves loosely inside the fence, so he couldn't see the reality clearly.

Yong Ruo took a bamboo rake from the side, and used it to part the bamboo branches and leaves through the fence, so that Mr. Feng could see the pointed bamboo nails buried on the ground.

"The night before yesterday, two thieves came in over the wall at night, trying to steal the things that the young master rewarded..." Yong Ruo talked casually about what happened that night.

As a result, as soon as she said a word, Feng Liao suddenly turned to look at her, her face was full of shock.

Yong Ruo looked at his expression and felt that his shock was not fake. So, this Mr. Feng is indeed a keen observer, didn't he hear something

After a brief shock, the expression on Feng Liao's face changed from shock to anger.

He quickly looked Yong Ruo up and down, stretched out his hands, and grabbed her arm, but froze suddenly before touching her arm. Then he flexed and stretched his fingers unnaturally, retracted his hands awkwardly, and put them behind his back again.

He lowered his head slightly, took two quick deep breaths, raised his head again, and asked with concern, "Are you all alright?"

Although he remained calm, his slightly tense tone revealed his nervousness.

Looking at his concerned eyes, Yong Ruo was sure that she was thinking too much!

This Young Master Feng should be hearing this for the first time! It's not about hearing some rumors and then looking for excuses to see the truth.

"Don't worry, my lord! Our family is fine. The two thieves are the ones who are in trouble. That night, when they jumped off the wall, they stepped on these bamboo nails firmly. The four soles of the two thieves were all crushed It was pierced. One of the thieves jumped down and didn't stand still, and even his palm was pierced... "

Yong Ruo then recounted what happened that night.

Feng Liao listened engrossed.

Su Mingjian and Rob looked at each other, exchanged a look of surprise, then came to look at the bamboo nail formation, and listened very seriously.

"What happened later?" Feng Liao looked at Yong Ruo with bright eyes and asked.

"After appeasing my mother and two younger brothers, I went to Wu's house again and taught them debridement." Yong Ruo glanced at Su Mingjian and Rob next to him, and began to teach simple hygiene and disinfection common sense without hesitation, " Does Young Master Feng know what 'clearing wounds' is?"

This kind of common sense, she has even taught people like the Wu family brothers, so it makes no sense not to teach these few people who are very good to her.

Su Mingjian and Rob are guards, and the risk of injury is relatively high. Mastering this common sense may save their lives at some point. Of course, whether they believe it or not and use it or not is their own business.

Feng Liao shook her head blankly.

Yong Ruo said: "Wound means wound, wound. Debridement means to clean the wound."

"Why is this so?" Feng Liao asked puzzled.

Su Mingjian and Rob obviously listened more seriously!

Yong Ruo was not in a hurry to explain this point, but instead said: "When I was young, I once witnessed a wandering doctor cleanse people's wounds. The doctor said: There are all kinds of qi permeating between heaven and earth, and among them are all kinds of sickness and filth. .Everything in the world is placed between the heaven and the earth, and it will be contaminated with a little bit of sickness, but less on clean things and more on dirty things. If a person's limbs are cut or stabbed by sharp objects, they will Bring these sickness and foulness into the body. If the sickness and foulness are not cleaned from the wound, the wound will fester and fester at the slightest, and the sickness will attack the whole body in severe cases, and there is no cure!"

"Is everything in the world contaminated with sickness and filth?" Feng Liao looked around in a daze, and took a hand behind her back to look at it, and looked at Yong Ruo very suspiciously, "I also have a disease in my hand." Bad smell?"

Yong Ruo nodded affirmatively: "Of course there are! The doctor said: The human body is like a big city. The skin is the city wall, the sickness is the enemy, and the passages connecting the inside and outside of the body such as the mouth and nose are the gates. Your body is the defender of the city. If you are not injured, your skin can block a lot of sickness and foulness; if you are injured and your skin is damaged, it will be like a hole in the city wall, and the sickness will swarm in through this hole. If the opening is not big, the influx of sickness will not be much, and the defenders in the city can repel the enemy by themselves; if the opening is slightly larger, the defenders in the city will need medicine and stones to help; The army was defeated like a mountain..."

Feng Liao nodded thoughtfully, this metaphor is very vivid, he understands it.

Su Mingjian and Rob also nodded involuntarily.

Yong Ruo continued: "The so-called 'sickness enters through the mouth' means eating unclean things. I thought that the people who entered the city gate were ordinary people, but who knew that they were the enemy's spies. After the spies entered the city and caused chaos everywhere, people would naturally get sick. The reason why the plague is prevalent is because there is too much disease and filth gathered in one place, just like there are too many enemy troops outside the city, and the defenders inside the city are helpless. Therefore, the most important point in preventing and controlling the plague is disinfection and isolation... "

After Feng Liao and the others had some basic common sense, Yong Ruo began to talk about what debridement is and how to do it: "The function of debridement is to reduce some of the sickness and foulness that invade the body, so as to prevent it from pouring into the city from the breach. The enemy army is so powerful that the defenders can't hold it back. The method of debridement is to wash the wound with salt water or shochu, and clean all the dirt and debris... "

"Wash the wound with salt water?" Su Mingjian next to him finally couldn't help interjecting, "That will hurt! It hurts very much!"

How is this different from rubbing salt in a wound? Too cruel! Rob, who has been silent all this time, nodded again and again.

"It hurts! But after all, life is more important, right?" Yong Ruo replied lightly, and then continued to talk about debridement, "The deeper and bigger the wound, the more necessary debridement is. The stronger the shochu used for debridement, the more Good. Salt water can’t be prepared directly by adding salt to clean water, because there is actually sickness in clean water. You have to boil the salt water and let it cool before using it. By the way, boiling it in boiling water is also a way to remove sickness It is a good way. Therefore, it is best to drink boiled water, and the cloth strips used for wrapping wounds must be boiled in boiling water and then dried... "

Feng Liao listened to her, nodded her head to show that she understood, and then asked with great interest: "Did the brothers of the Wu family listen to your words and clean the wound?"

Yong Ruo sighed softly: "When I first said it, the Wu family thought I was malicious. They said that their brothers were already hurt like that, so why should I torture them again? I said whatever I said, but they just didn't believe it. Later, or Widow Qin in the alley came forward and said a few words before Wu Da agreed to wash the wound. Wu Er was afraid of pain and would rather die than suffer from that crime... "

"Then what did Widow Qin say?"

"Widow Qin said: Her first husband went there after a small cut was made on his toe by a piece of broken iron when someone was cleaning the dark ditch!

"It's really only a small hole! It's only as long as a fingernail, so my ex-husband didn't pay attention. After a few days, the toe was swollen like a carrot, and then the whole foot was swollen, and I rolled on the bed in pain. Seven or eight days later, her husband began to feel dizzy, weak, and babbling nonsense. After about half a month, he convulsed and died! When he died, his whole body was stretched like a bow, and his face was distorted like hell...

"There was a sorceress who said: Her husband was captured by evil spirits! Over the years, she has always believed in the evil spirits' theory, and she almost gave away all her family's wealth to help her ex-husband perform feats to save her..."

Feng Liao, Su Mingjian, and Luo Bu all felt chills when they heard this!

"After listening to Widow Qin's words, Wu Da was frightened, so he gritted his teeth and asked his wife to clean his wound. Wu Er couldn't bear the pain, and refused to believe it no matter what..." Yong Ruo frowned slightly, "I just hope they Brothers are fine."

Feng Liao looked at her with a very strange expression: "Their brothers broke into your house and stole, are you still worried about them?"

Yong Ruo smiled bitterly: "Their brothers are not guilty of death!" If I had a choice, I don't want to have human life on my hands.

A few people were talking, when they saw Aunt Gu looking at Feng Liao and the others in surprise, walked in quickly, and said to Yong Ruo: "The Yang family has answered!"
