After checking Mrs. Xue's pulse and confirming that she was just too sad and not in serious trouble, Zheng Zhe and Wu Hemerocallis walked back to the eldest son to say goodbye. Since they didn't say anything to death, the old lady and Madam Xue didn't dare to offend them, and ordered someone to bring a gold ingot of ten taels as a reward.
Zheng Zhe cupped his hands and said, "The eldest son's pulse case, the old man will study with Dr. Wu after returning to see if we can find a cure."
"It's easy to talk, thank you for your help." The old lady could only try to be careful.
After Zheng Zhe finished speaking, he looked at the desk and pretended to be surprised: "Whose is this "Lin's Medical Manual"?"
"It's mine." Lin Dan came in a hurry, completely forgetting that he still had a volume of books in his hand. Seeing that Zheng Zhe seemed to want to pick up the book and read it, she immediately walked over and put it away.
Zheng Zhe let out a laugh, and cupped his hands again, as if he didn't care. When she saw the book, she suddenly had an extremely strong desire to take it away. As if it should belong to her, it will definitely help her to gain a foothold in this world and go to the heights.
you must get it! must! Similar calls stirred back and forth in her heart, almost causing her to lose her temper on the spot. She gritted her teeth and finally couldn't help but said, "Lin Dan, can you lend me that book?"
Lin Dan decisively shook his head: "No."
The old lady hurriedly reprimanded: "Dan'er, what can you do if you show the book to Doctor Wu, why are you such a stingy child?"
Xue Boyong sneered and said: "When I come, I want my family to kneel and kowtow three times, and when I go, I want Lin Dan to present the family's treasures. Doctor Wu is so flamboyant! If you are really a genius doctor of the flesh and bones of the living, I will I don't say anything about you, but you are obviously vain, but why are you so arrogant? Not to mention that you can't cure my disease, even if you can, I won't take it lightly. Go back to where to go, and don't go to my door again in the future!"
The old lady opened her mouth, but was reluctant to reprimand her grandson, so she could only make amends to Wu Helianthus.
Wu Xuancao originally wanted to tell the Xue family how to take care of her legs. Seeing Xue Boyong's contemptuous appearance, she was very annoyed and left. Xue Jiming apologized to his eldest brother, glared at Lin Dan again, and followed her away.
Xue Boyong stared at his brother's embarrassed figure, shook his head and said, "I thought I had taught him a lesson last time, and he could make progress, but now that I look at it, it's actually a muddy mud that can't support the wall, and there is only that woman in my heart. There is no difference between right and wrong. Grandmother, don’t worry about my illness, I am lucky if I can be cured, and it is God’s arrangement if I cannot cure it, I just accept my fate.”
The old lady held her eldest grandson's hand, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she kept mumbling the word "sin". At this point, who else could she blame? Both Xue Jiming and Lin Dan were brought up by her own hands, and her temper was also indulged by her. Now this evil retribution is on the innocent grandson. The grandson has forgiven her. What else can she do
The slightly better Mrs. Xue was supported by two maids and walked into the room, hugging her son and crying bitterly. From hope to disappointment, this huge psychological gap is so torturous.
Lin Dan looked at them calmly, and warned: "You have to cry back and cry, don't cry in front of the eldest brother. The eldest brother is the one who needs comfort the most, how can you let him comfort you in return? His mood finally became clear. , don't do that."
The maid and servant-girl standing by the side glared at her, looking like they wanted to peel her skin off, but the old lady and Mrs. Xue hurriedly wiped away their tears and said, "Yes, yes, we won't cry! Boyong! The sickness of her will be cured. That girl Wu Hemerocallis is only 18 years old this year. What do you know? We can still find another doctor to treat Boyong. Boyong, don’t think about it, we will leave now, you are good rest."
Xue Boyong glanced at Lin Dan helplessly, then nodded and said, "Grandmother, mother, you also rest well, don't worry about my illness. I'll be lucky if I get it, and I'll lose my life, just treat it with a normal heart."
"Okay, okay, let's go with the flow." The old lady and Mrs. Xue reluctantly left while wiping away their tears.
Lin Dan walked back to the study, took the book of "The Record of Odd Diseases", turned it to 166 pages, and handed it to Xue Boyong, saying, "Look, eldest brother, my ancestors cured you from this disease. I learned medicine, and I can cure you too, so don't accept your fate!"
Xue Boyong took the book and read it carefully, his brows getting higher and higher. He had no idea that Lin Dan's ancestor was Lin Chaoxian. No wonder Zheng Zhe's eyes flickered when he saw the word "Lin Shi"; no wonder Wu Hemerocallis had the cheek to borrow Lin Dan's book to read. You must know that Lin Chaoxian is regarded as a medical fairy by later generations. It's a pity that the Lin family is not as good as the previous generation, and it has since disappeared and disappeared completely.
"Your father hides so deeply." Xue Boyong sighed.
"It's not that my father hides deeply, it's that he didn't even learn the fur of his ancestors, so he naturally dare not pretend to be a descendant of medical immortals." Lin Dan said solemnly.
Xue Boyong coughed and said with a smile: "You hate me, your grandmother, your mother, Wu Helianthus and Zheng Zhe all day long, and you don't even spare your own father. Lin Dan, if you don't hate others, you will Is it dead?"
Lin Dan opened his eyes wide and shook his head slowly: "Brother, I never hate anyone, I just tell the truth."
Xue Boyong couldn't bear it any longer. He covered his face and laughed lowly. After laughing, he returned the medical book and instructed earnestly, "You must keep these inheritances, and don't let others steal them."
"The big brother I know, I usually hide them in the dark compartment of the mahogany box." Lin Dan said frankly.
Xue Boyong wanted to laugh again, but in the end he held it back, his tone sounded very pleasant: "Then go back to another place quickly, even I can't tell you."
"Okay, I will listen to eldest brother." Lin Dan squatted down and looked at him with a cautious expression: "Eldest brother, I have learned all medical and pharmacology, and have begun to learn acupuncture and massage techniques. But it is only behind closed doors, my You will definitely not be able to improve your medical skills, and you have to see a few more patients. When your body is fully recovered, I will go to the countryside to treat the people for free, and go up the mountain to collect medicine. If I can't come back in time to cook for you, You must eat obediently, and don’t be as tantrums as last time. Drinking too much ginseng soup is not good for your body.”
Xue Boyong's happy expression instantly faded, he frowned and said, "Who are you talking about playing a temper?"
"It's my temper, and the eldest brother is the strongest." Lin Dan changed his words eloquently.
Xue Boyong looked up at the sky, trying his best to suppress the desire to strangle the girl. Hearing what she said, even he felt that he was a little unreasonable. Could this girl be here to punish him
…
Knowing that Wu Hemerocallis couldn't cure his eldest brother's legs, Lin Dan's pressure doubled, and he was more motivated to study. He was either reciting medical books or sticking needles with puppets all day long. If anyone in Xiaofeng Pavilion felt a little unwell, she would immediately It will check the pulse of the other party, and then prescribe a few medicines.
A few days ago, Fang Fei occasionally felt a cold and had a cough, so she grabbed some medicine for her, told her to decoct it every day, and occasionally asked her how her condition was.
On this day, Fangfei brought the boiled kettle into the bedroom, preparing to wash face water for the eldest son. Hearing her forbearance coughing, Lin Dan couldn't help but ask, "Fang Fei, is your illness okay? Could it be that the medicine I prescribed for you didn't work?"
After staying in Xiaofeng Pavilion for a long time, Fangfei finally understood the situation. No matter who the eldest son lost his legs for, he was very kind to Lin Dan. Although he usually has a cold brow and cold eyes, it is difficult to have a smile on his face, but if anyone bullies Lin Dan, he will never forgive him. Not to mention, the servants and guards in the yard changed their attitude towards Lin Dan under his admonition, and even the Second Young Master did not dare to speak loudly in front of Lin Dan.
Therefore, Fang Fei tried her best to smile, and said respectfully, "Miss Lin, your medicine is very effective. My illness has already improved. It's just that the cough is worse when I wake up in the morning, and it subsides by noon."
"Really? Then I'll check your pulse again to see if you want to change your medicine." Lin Dan stretched out his hand to check the pulse.
Fangfei didn't dare to resist, she could only let her do what she did.
Xue Boyong didn't look at Fangfei the whole time, but went to look at Lin Dan frequently with a smile in his eyes. This girl has gone crazy, and whenever a living creature passes by her, she will be pulled over to check the pulse, and even the big black dogs he keeps can't escape.
"See what?" he asked softly.
"The condition didn't get better, but it got worse. What's the situation?" Lin Dan wrote down a new prescription while pondering, and asked Fang Fei to get the medicine.
Fang Fei was relieved when she saw that she didn't ask any further questions, and quickly withdrew with the prescription. After a while, the sun came out, and Lin Dan took his eldest brother to the rocking chair outside to bask in the sun, and put a quilt on his legs.
Xue Boyong said helplessly: "How many times have I said that, don't hug me at every turn, you need my consent. If outsiders see us like this, how will you marry?"
"Okay eldest brother, I know eldest brother." Lin Dan agreed, but he never changed his behavior. It is her responsibility to take care of Xue Boyong, who cares about others? If she doesn't get married, she doesn't get married. She doesn't have to establish a family, and she doesn't have to inherit the family. She has no worries at all.
Xue Boyong wiped his face, clearly wanting to sigh, but somehow, he let out a low laugh.
Just at this moment, the two big black dogs he raised hurried over, put down the thing in their mouths, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an oil-paper bag full of mud. The two big black dogs barked at their owners as if offering treasures, and then tore the oil paper with their paws to reveal the Chinese herbal medicines inside.
Lin Dan squatted down and picked it up for a moment, then frowned, "This is the medicine I prescribed to Fangfei last time, did she not take it?"
Xue Boyong stared at the package of medicine that was obviously pulled out of the soil, with a gloomy expression.
