The snow had stopped by then, and Shen Fengming dismounted, "Miss Jiang, do you want to take a walk?"
In the distance are endless white mountains and in the nearby are white villages. At this moment, the world seems to have changed its appearance, quiet and beautiful.
Seeing this beautiful scenery, Jiang Yunzhu really wanted to walk around and take a look. But being with Shen Fengming made her feel a little weird. But maybe because he changed his clothes today, there was no sense of oppression, so she responded lightly.
After getting off the car, she saw many rolling hills around her. She immediately wanted to climb the mountain to see the snow scenery, so she looked at Shen Fengming inquiringly.
"Miss Jiang, please feel free to do as you please." Shen Fengming said.
Jiang Yunzhu chose a shorter mountain and walked up it.
Shen Fengming followed beside her, and the two of them were not far away from each other.
Jiang Yunzhu walked and looked, and when she stood higher, she found that Changshi Village was like a lake, with high mountains on both sides. There was a mountain road coming in on one side and a mountain road going out on the other side. The road going out was slightly lower than the road coming in, just like water flowing through.
"What is Miss Jiang thinking about?" Shen Fengming asked when he saw her in a daze.
Jiang Yunzhu pointed at Changshi Village and said, "I was thinking that perhaps billions of years ago, this place was once a vast ocean."
Shen Fengming didn’t know that she actually thought of such a faraway place, but it was true that “the world has changed a lot.” He suddenly stopped, looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and thought of a lot of things.
Jiang Yunzhu didn't know what he was thinking. She was thinking that if this place was a sea or a river in the past, she wondered what kind of fish there would be.
Suddenly, she saw something moving in the distance.
"Rabbit." She said in surprise. It was a gray hare, and it looked very agile.
Shen Fengming saw some gravel on the big rock next to him, so he picked one up and threw it at the hare.
After about a few dozen meters, the hare fell to the ground.
There are many mountains here, and wild rabbits often appear here. Jiang Yunzhu had seen them before, but she could only pretend not to see them because the rabbits ran so fast that she couldn't catch them at all.
Unexpectedly, Shen Fengming solved the problem with just one stone.
Her face was full of joy and she hurried over there.
When she got closer, she... The rabbit's head was smashed, and its death looked quite miserable.
At least, it didn't suffer. This was the only way Jiang Yunzhu could comfort herself.
Seeing her like this, Shen Fengming thought she was afraid of getting dirty, so he reached out to pick up the rabbit.
He was dressed in a spotless white coat. Seeing this, Jiang Yunzhu quickly said, "Let me do it!" She was afraid that the blood would drip on him and be an eyesore.
"Let me do it." Shen Fengming said. He didn't want Jiang Yunzhu's hands to be stained with blood.
Both of them had the idea of doing it themselves, but Shen Fengming was a little faster and grabbed the rabbit's back, while Jiang Yunzhu was a little slower and grabbed it in his hand.
There were thin calluses on the palms of his hands and the pads of his fingers, but the backs of his hands were white and delicate, with a hot temperature.
Jiang Yunzhu: ...If she says she didn’t mean it, will he believe her
She withdrew her hand awkwardly.
Shen Fengming held the rabbit and looked at her.
His eyes were dark, but the corners of his eyes were tinged with red.
Because of the red and white fur coat, Jiang Yunzhu actually felt that he looked lonely and cold at this moment.
Blood dripped down, Shen Fengming said, "Let me do it, it will dirty your hands."
Okay, Jiang Yunzhu won’t argue anymore.
"Do you want to kill a few more?" Shen Fengming asked.
Jiang Yunzhu thought his suggestion was actually okay if he didn't mind it being troublesome.
So the animals in the mountains suffered today. Soon, Shen Fengming had two wild rabbits and two pheasants in his hands.
"We'll have roasted rabbit and casserole chicken as snacks tonight," Jiang Yunzhu said with a smile.
"Okay." Shen Fengming agreed.
The two walked back one after the other. The sun in the west penetrated the clouds, emitting golden light, which contrasted with the vast snow scene, creating a beautiful scene.
Jiang Cheng went back and told Chen what happened today.
Chen was deeply saddened after hearing this.
At night, the two of them lay down to sleep. The room was quiet. Jiang Cheng suddenly spoke, "I have made some money these days. Also, I used Yunzhu's method, and many people really deposited money with me. The total amount is about three taels."
Chen had been with him for so long, so she naturally knew what he was thinking. In fact, she was thinking the same thing. Last time, Li Biaotou sold the mule to them at such a low price, saying it was an apology, but the two of them always felt guilty in their hearts, and he didn't do it on purpose.
Now that the other person's child is seriously ill and money is needed, they feel even more uneasy about using this mule.
As a human being, you should never feel guilty about anything you owe others, and you should never owe them favors, otherwise you will be like them and always remember it.
"I still have one ounce here. Add your three ounces and the nine ounces, and that's about the price of this mule," said Chen.
Jiang Cheng understood that Chen had agreed to his request, so he reached out and held her hand.
The next day, Jiang Cheng told Jiang Yunzhu that he wanted to compensate Li Biaotou for the difference in the price of the mule. Although he earned the money himself, the capital was provided by Jiang Yunzhu, so he still had to discuss it with her.
Jiang Yunzhu thought it was okay, but she felt that what Li Biaotou was short of might not be the four taels of silver.
"Dad, I'll go with you. It's a good opportunity to see what vegetables are available at the market so that we can cook them for lunch." Okay, Jiang Yunzhu admitted that she said the last sentence to Grandpa Wu.
She just tried to make some connections, and the final result had nothing to do with her.
Sure enough, when Mr. Wu heard about food, he thought of yesterday's grilled fish and immediately became interested.
So the three of them got on a mule cart and headed to the county town.
It snowed yesterday and the ground was a bit slippery. Jiang Cheng drove carefully and finally arrived at the county town safely.
Find out where Fengyuan Escort Agency is.
Fengyuan Escort Agency is very famous in the county. After asking around, the three of them found the place.
On the most prosperous street in the county, there is a spacious courtyard, with carriages and people coming in and out, very lively. Above the courtyard hangs a plaque with the words "Fengyuan Escort Agency" on it.
There were not so many people in this era. Apart from the counties and villages where people lived, there were still many wildernesses where bandits often roamed. Merchants who wanted to travel, or who wanted to hurry or deliver goods would hire bodyguards to ensure their safety if they had the conditions.
The only famous escort agency in Wuling County is Fengyuan Escort Agency, so their business is very good.
Fengyuan Escort Agency is indeed extraordinary. Looking at those tall and strong escorts, each with muscular body and bright eyes, one feels inexplicably safe.
"Girl, why are you here?" A big man was shouting at the other side to load the truck faster, and suddenly saw Jiang Yunzhu and Jiang Cheng, and came over immediately. He was the one who told Jiang Yunzhu the whole story of Li Yan being cheated last time, and he still remembered Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Cheng immediately told the purpose of his visit.
The big man didn't dare to make the decision on his own, so he went to find Biaotou Li.
Li Biaotou was in the backyard at this time. Yesterday, Li Yan vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and then he has been in a coma. The whole family was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. At this time, they were all guarding in the backyard.
After hearing about Jiang Cheng's purpose, he wanted to let him go back directly. He said that the mule was only nine taels, and he would not pay the difference.
But I also felt it was not good because they came from far away.
So he asked the big man to invite Jiang Cheng and the other two to the reception hall in the front yard.
Jiang Cheng and the other two walked around the courtyard in front and came to a relatively quiet house. At this time, Li Biaotou was already waiting there. Sitting with him were his other three sons.
These three sons look very much like him in terms of features and build. Sitting there they look like three iron towers.
However, the three of them, like Li Biaotou, all had gloomy expressions.
My younger brother has been frail and sickly since he was young, so they love him very much.
"Hurry up and sit down." Li Biaotou called Jiang Cheng and others. Of course, he also saw Mr. Wu, but Mr. Wu looked like an ordinary old man. He thought he was someone from the Jiang family and didn't care.
Jiang Cheng and the other two sat down and were served tea.
Jiang Cheng didn't drink. He directly explained his purpose and handed the four taels of silver to Li Biaotou.
Most of his four taels of silver were copper coins, and the few remaining pieces were pitifully small, obviously hard-earned.
Even so, he was still thinking about giving him the money. Li Biaotou suddenly felt a liking for Jiang Cheng and felt that it was fortunate that he came out to see him, otherwise he would really be letting him down.
He didn't take the silver bag, and said directly, "I said nine taels, it means nine taels."
"I know these four ounces of silver are nothing to you, but I..."
One of them wanted to give it, while the other didn't, and they were struggling.
Suddenly, a mournful and shrill female voice came, "Son!"
Li Biaotou and the four sturdy men all changed color, and without caring about Jiang Cheng and the other two, they all ran back.
Jiang Cheng held the purse in his hand, feeling a little worried and at a loss. From the voice just now, he knew that Li Yan would not... He had come at a very wrong time.
Jiang Yunzhu also frowned and looked towards the backyard.
The room was quiet.
Mr. Wu took a sip of tea and thought that Jiang Yunzhu might not leave for a while. He looked up at the ceiling, suddenly stood up and walked towards the backyard.
Jiang Cheng was stunned. What was the old man going to do
Jiang Yunzhu's eyes lit up. Old man, could this...
The Li family's backyard was in chaos. Li Yangang vomited blood twice more. His face was pale and he was breathing out more than breathing in. Li Biaotou begged Doctor Jin to save him, but Doctor Jin was helpless. Mrs. Li next to him had fainted from the pain, and someone gave her water to help her breathe.
When Mr. Wu came in at this time, no one paid any attention to him.
He walked to Li Yan's bed, flipped his eyelids, and then felt his pulse, and then said, "Why are you yelling? He's not dead." Then he took out a needle bag from his sleeve and said to Doctor Jin, "You, take off his clothes."
Doctor Jin is a famous doctor who came back from the capital. He usually orders others around, but now he is being ordered around by an ordinary old man
He was about to get angry, when suddenly, he saw the needle bag in Wu Yixian's hand. His heart skipped a beat and his heart began to beat wildly.
Most doctors use nine kinds of needles, namely long needle, beryllium needle, round needle, etc., but Mr. Wu has fifteen needles in his hand. He immediately does as Mr. Wu says, takes off Li Yan's coat, and straightens him up.
Mr. Wu immediately began to give acupuncture, one acupuncture after another. As he continued to give acupuncture, Li Yan's breathing became noticeably steadier.
After the last injection, Li Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but this time it was black blood.
After spitting out the blood, he lay down again, and his complexion seemed to have improved a lot.
"Son." Mrs. Li woke up at this time and was about to throw herself on Li Yan and cry again, but she soon realized something was wrong. Li Yan looked much better.
"His life was saved," said Doctor Jin.
Old Master Wu glanced at him and said, "He has a cold since his mother's womb. If he is stimulated or caught a cold, he may get sick at any time. What do you mean by saving his life?"
Doctor Jin smiled ingratiatingly and did not think the old man's tone was bad. He even felt very educated.
Over there, Li Biaotou and the others also understood what Mr. Wu meant, and their worries, which had just been put at ease, were lifted again.
They immediately asked Mr. Wu for help!
However, Mr. Wu had already written a prescription on the stack of paper that Doctor Jin used to write prescriptions.
"Take this medicine, then give yourself an injection once in the morning and once in the evening every day. After seven days, you will be full of energy and vitality," he said.
Li Biaotou and others were a little bit unbelievable. Li Yan had been weak since he was a child. While other children were running, he was sitting; while other children were playing, he was lying down. He finally went out to ride a mule that day and almost lost his life.
Seven days, can he jump in seven days
"If the old man says it's okay, then it must be okay!" Doctor Jin said unhappily. He had already guessed the identity of Mr. Wu. When he was in Beijing, he had studied Mr. Wu's two prescriptions countless times and benefited a lot from them. Today, he finally saw the real person. He decided that from now on, he would keep this pen and this stack of paper used by the old man in the cabinet and treasure them well.
Only then did Li Biaotou and the others believe that Li Yan's illness could really be cured. They wanted to kneel down before Old Man Wu to express their gratitude for saving his life.
"Old man, do you need someone to serve you?" asked Doctor Jin.
"Don't follow me!" Old Master Wu said impatiently as he walked out.
I happened to meet Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yunzhu coming this way.
Jiang Yunzhu vaguely saw the situation in the room and made some guesses.
"I'll treat your grandfather's eyes when we get back." Old Master Wu said, walking past her and continuing to go out.
Jiang Yunzhu's eyes slowly widened and then curved upwards.
She found that Mr. Wu was particularly easy to talk to today. What happened? Did he change his temper
It's not that Mr. Wu has changed his temper, it's that he suddenly figured out something yesterday. Why is he angry with Shen Fengming and making Mr. Chen and Jiang Yunzhu uncomfortable
It snowed yesterday, and Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yunzhu were late to come back. Chen was so anxious that she kept looking outside. Old Man Chen couldn't see, so he could only ask Chen over and over again, "Are you back?" At that time, he decided to help Old Man Chen cure his illness.
There just wasn't the right opportunity.
Today is just the right time.
After going shopping for groceries, Jiang Cheng and the other two returned home. Mr. Wu immediately took Mr. Chen's pulse and examined his condition.
"There's only a 50% chance of a cure," said Mr. Wu.
50%, the probability is already very high, Jiang Yunzhu immediately asked the old man to use medicine.
"No hurry, I'll give him an injection first." Mr. Wu said, taking out the needle bag and giving Mr. Chen an injection.
This time, the acupuncture points he inserted were almost all on the head. Any carelessness could cause serious consequences, so his acupuncture speed slowed down significantly, especially when it came to the last few needles. He had to take a breath after each one.
After a while, sweat broke out on his forehead.
Everyone in the Jiang family watched from the side, and no one dared to speak for fear of disturbing him.
When the acupuncture was finally completed, he took the hot towel handed to him by Jiang Yunzhu and breathed a sigh of relief. As he got older, his energy was indeed not as good as before.
"Grandpa, thank you for your hard work." Although Jiang Cheng and Chen did not know that Grandpa Wu was the famous Medical Immortal Wu at that time, they were grateful to him just for the fact that he cured Grandpa Chen.
Old Master Wu sat down and wrote two more prescriptions. "This one is for external use, and this one is for internal use. Your eyes will feel a little uncomfortable in the next few days, but don't expose them to light or rub them. You'll know the results after five days." He instructed.
The Jiang family immediately got busy.
In the afternoon, Li Biaotou and his men drove a carriage to bring Li Yan here. Li Yan had already woken up, but he was still weak.
Li Biaotou felt that Mr. Wu was not an ordinary person, so he kept pestering Doctor Jin to ask him. Doctor Jin had no choice but to whisper to him about Mr. Wu's identity and told him not to spread it. Otherwise, the old man would be angry, and everything would be over.
This person turned out to be the real Wu Yixian, no wonder he could cure Li Yan's illness! After being shocked, Li Biaotou was ecstatic. Of course, he didn't dare to bother Mr. Wu to go to his place to give Li Yan acupuncture, so he came.
He had already decided that he would live with Li Yan in Changshi Village for the next seven days to avoid any further complications.
Five days later, Mr. Wu gave Mr. Chen one last injection and said, "The cloth on your eyes can be taken off now. If it works, it works. If it doesn't work..." He was helpless. Others called him a medical genius, but he was just a mortal, a mortal who couldn't even save his own daughter.
When he said that, Jiang Cheng and the others became nervous, and Chen's hands were shaking as she was removing the cloth.
Old Master Chen was relatively calm, and said to Chen, "For so many years, it has always been like this..." At this point, he suddenly stopped. There was white light in front of his eyes, and he had to cover his eyes with his hands.
"Dad." "Grandfather!" Jiang Cheng and others exclaimed in unison. Does this reaction of Grandpa Chen mean...
Old Master Chen tried hard to blink his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes, but he had no time to wipe them away. Instead, he looked at Chen, Jiang Cheng, Jiang Yunzhu, Jiang Lin, Jiang Yunxue and Jiang Wu.
"I saw it." He said, then looked at Chen's trembling lips and said, "You have changed a lot."
"I'm getting old." Chen's eyes were blurred with tears. How could she not get old after so many years!
"Dad." Jiang Cheng said.
"You've changed a lot too." Old Master Chen looked at him and said.
"Yeah." Jiang Cheng's eyes also turned red.
Old Master Chen looked at Jiang Yunzhu again and felt shaken. He always knew she was pretty, but he didn't expect her to be so pretty. And Jiang Lin, he was a little adult now, Jiang Yunxue, he was a big girl, and even Jiang Wu, he had grown so tall.
"Okay, okay." Old Master Chen looked at them one by one, tears never stopped, but there was a smile on his face. After so many years, he finally saw what they looked like. He wanted to take a good look at them and remember them one by one in his heart.
"Thank you, thank you!" When he saw Mr. Wu, he couldn't help but express his gratitude. He never thought that he could see again in his lifetime, thanks to him.
Old Master Wu was in a good mood. Fortunately, he did not fail. Otherwise, he would have been embarrassed to eat the food cooked by Jiang Yunzhu.
Everyone was so happy that Li Biao was jealous. In two days, would Li Yan...
Two days later, Mr. Wu felt Li Yan's pulse and said, "You are fine, but your health is a little weak. You should take care of yourself slowly in the future."
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" Mrs. Li also came today, covering her mouth and asking Grandpa Wu in disbelief.
"The disease is cured."
With just these words, Madam Li burst into tears in Li Biaotou's arms. For so many years, she regretted every day why she was so careless when she was pregnant with Li Yan, causing him to suffer since he was born.
Finally, her child can live a normal life!
Li Biaotou patted her on the back, his eyes sparkling.
"That's great." Li Yan's three brothers said loudly.
Then they knelt down and thanked Mr. Wu for saving their lives.
Several big men at the back immediately brought up a lot of things, which were the thank you gifts they prepared.
As for the medical fee, since Mr. Wu has asked for it, they will definitely find a way to raise it.
Mr. Wu never liked money. He looked at the things, took two gold bars from the first plate, and said, "Take them all back."
The two gold ingots weighed ten taels each, so two ingots would be twenty taels, equivalent to two hundred taels of silver.
Is it a lot? For ordinary people, it is really too much. They may spend their whole life to earn this money, but for the Li family, it is not much at all.
"Old man, how can this be possible?" Li Biaotou said, saving his life is like giving him a new life.
"Don't waste time here, go, go quickly, I want some peace and quiet." said Mr. Wu.
Li Biaotou's emotions were all interrupted, and he looked at Jiang Yunzhu. After so many days at the Jiang family, he found that Mr. Wu liked her the most.
Jiang Yunzhu knew Mr. Wu's temper, so she nodded at Li Biaotou.
Li Biaotou then led his people and things out of the house. But he did not leave, they were waiting to thank Jiang Yunzhu. If it were not for her, he might have been deceived by the fake doctor before, and it would be even more impossible for him to meet the real doctor later.
Jiang Yunzhu waved her hand naturally, in fact she didn't do anything.
After a long argument, Li Biaotou left some gifts and told Jiang Cheng not to mention the price difference of the mules anymore. He also repeatedly told Jiang Cheng that if he needed any help in the future, he must come to them.
Li Biaotou has set his sights on the Jiang family, and believes that this family is worthy of close friendship.
After seeing off Li Biaotou and the others, Jiang Cheng and Chen stood at the gate of the yard, a little stunned. Li Biaotou had rented a house in the village these days. He had a straightforward personality and they all liked to get along with him. After spending so many days together, they suddenly left, and they felt a little empty in their hearts.
Jiang Yunzhu knew, however, that all good things must come to an end.
Considering everyone's mood, she decided to make some glutinous rice balls with fermented glutinous rice tonight, which are sweet and warm.
But when she turned around, she saw Shen Fengming walking in from outside, holding two wild rabbits in his hands.
The author has something to say:
A new chapter is about to begin
