Tang riddles

With Li Bai's support, Shen Sui reluctantly crossed the last section of the bridge. Before he had completely set foot on the south bank of Luoshui River, he saw a carriage galloping through the rain.Before it came to a complete stop, Zhang Yue hurriedly got out of the car and almost fell in the rain.Seeing Shen Sui who was covered in blood, his face turned pale with shock, and he rushed forward tremblingly.

"Bo Zhao! Bo Zhao!" He called out sadly, stretching out his trembling hands, but he didn't dare to touch Shen Sui.

However, Shen Sui's consciousness was not very clear, his eyes were half downcast, he didn't know whether he was awake or fainted, so he could only reluctantly make a reply sound that didn't mean anything.Li Bai was probably the most sober person. He raised his hand to wipe the rainwater off his face, and his beard was tangled up in strands, dripping with water.

"Mr. Zhang, hurry up and send him to the hospital."

"Yes, to the hospital, to the hospital, Ah Liu! Come and help!" He yelled at the coachman.

"Here! Lord Lang." The coachman hurried over.

The three men worked together to lift Shen Sui up and onto the car.The coachman Ah Liu hurriedly whipped his whip, and the car immediately galloped to the nearest hospital.The coachman was familiar with Luoyang City and knew that the nearest medical clinic was in Xiuyefang, so he immediately walked south by the bridge.

As soon as the car passed the middle section of Shangshanfang, Ah Liu suddenly saw a white figure on a horse flashing out at the corner of the road ahead.She probably doesn't know how to ride a horse at all, and the whole person is holding the horse's neck and running forward.Even so, she desperately used the whip to drive the horse away. The horse was so excited by her riding style that it ran crookedly.The woman in white was trembling on the horse, and she was about to fall off.

Ah Liu's eyes were sharp, and he recognized who it was at a glance. He quickly reined in the horse, stopped the car, and shouted into the car:

"Master Lang! The third lady is here!"

"What!" The curtain of the carriage was lifted suddenly, Zhang Yue poked his head out, and he saw Zhang Ruohan galloping here on horseback at a glance.

Without saying a word, Li Bai jumped out of the carriage, stepped over the stagnant water and ran forward, shouting at the same time:

"Miss Zhang San, rein in the horse!"

Zhang Ruohan had been trying to do this for a long time. After Li Bai called, Zhang Ruohan finally straightened up and grabbed the rein.

The horse raised its hooves and almost threw Zhang Ruohan over, but she held on to the reins tightly and resisted the blow.The next moment, Li Bai arrived in time, pulled the bridle, and quickly brought the horse under control.

Without waiting for Li Bai's help, Zhang Ruohan stumbled off the horse, with a pale face, and eagerly grabbed Li Bai's sleeve, and asked:

"Mr. Taibai, Bozhao, where is she? And the princess, have you seen them?"

"Brother Bo Zhao is in the car, the princess... she is behind, it's not a big problem."

Zhang Ruohan paused when he heard the words, and immediately walked towards the car.

"San Niangzi stay behind! You'd better not go in the car." Li Bai said.

But Zhang Ruohan didn't know how to listen, she went straight into the carriage, opened the curtain, and immediately saw Shen Sui who was lying on the mat in the carriage, resting on Zhang Shuo's leg, silent and covered in blood.

For a moment, Zhang Shuo seemed to see that Zhang Ruohan was about to lose his breath, and everyone was staggering and about to fall off the carriage.Terrified, he quickly stretched out his hand to pull her, calling out urgently:

"Lotus Maid!"

But at the next moment, Zhang Ruohan bit her lip hard, pinched the frame of the carriage tightly, and stabilized her figure.

"I'm fine... Uncle Shi." When she said this, Zhang Shuo saw blood oozing from her pale lips.

Zhang Shuo's heart tightened violently.

"Uncle Shi, let me do it." She seemed to be speaking with great willpower. At this moment, even Zhang Shuo couldn't help admiring the tenacity of her niece, so she subconsciously gave up her position.

So Shen Sui lay down in Zhang Ruohan's arms, which were also soaked, but soft as clouds, with a faint lotus fragrance, wrapping her.

She gently brushed away Shen Sui's hair that was stuck to his forehead and cheeks by blood, so gentle and cautious that he seemed at a loss.She brushed her fingers over her eyebrows, lowered her eyes, just looked at her face intently, and smoothed the frown between her brows wrinkled by pain.She didn't even dare to look below her neckline, the wound was too shocking, she was afraid that she would be so stimulated that she could not bear it and fainted, so that she would not be able to take care of her.If you can't take care of her, what use is there for you?I am afraid that by then, she will become a woman who can only bring her pain and hatred, but cannot bring her peace and joy.

Isn't such a woman just a disaster?She doesn't want to be a disaster, she doesn't want to.

Shen Sui snorted lightly, and she didn't know if it was because the pain was so painful that she even fainted, or because Zhang Ruohan's touch gave her a natural attachment reaction.But this sound seemed to instantly destroy Zhang Ruohan's strong mask that she forcibly erected. Her eyes turned red instantly, and tears flowed down her cheeks.She curled up, hid Shen Sui's face in her arms, and wept silently with her head down.She forced her tears to avoid her face, not to fall on her face and burn her, so that she can still look calm, or the Chishi who never cries, it seems that only in this way, she feels that she is protected Her happiness kept her innocent heart.

Zhang, who was sitting on the side, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.The miserable appearance of the two young people in front of him naturally made him extremely heartbroken.However, the attitude of the lotus maidservant towards Shen Sui today surprised Zhang Shuo.My niece, who has always been very indifferent, would feel so distressed for Shen Sui that she couldn't cry out from the pain.It seems that the lotus maidservant has true feelings for Shen Sui, which makes him feel at ease.He understood that this marriage was correct, and that the maidservant was not persecuted, nor was she a choice out of desperation. Then, he believed that the maidservant would be reconciled and happy after marriage, which was a great comfort to him.Even if it was just for this reason, he would do his best to protect this marriage so that the lover would not be separated.

Shen Sui made him even more impressed. Although he didn't witness the battle between Li Jinyue and Shen Sui with his own eyes, he didn't need to think carefully to understand how much pressure Shen Sui was under to win the lotus maid from the princess.He was able to walk out alive from under the sword of Princess Jin, which really made people have to admire.

After this incident, he saw Shen Sui's firm determination to marry the lotus maid, this man is worth entrusting.

But even so, he still felt that something was wrong.Perhaps it was because the relationship between the maidservant and Shen Sui came too fast and developed too deeply, which made people a little unexpected; or maybe it was Shen Sui who walked out of Li Jinyue's sword today, which in itself made him feel unbelievable; , Shen Sui's current appearance, at first glance, he thought it was a woman, she was too beautiful, and also felt a sense of disobedience.Everything seems to be taken for granted in the dark, and there seems to be a hand secretly pushing the development of the situation.

The old prime minister felt that he was probably really old. He had been immersed in the officialdom for too long, and he was suspicious of everything.So he stopped thinking about it, and looked at the appearance of the lotus maid and Shen Sui's skin-to-skin kiss and ear-to-eye contact, and suddenly felt that he was old enough to be in the same place with his young lover.So he smiled and shook his head, opened the curtain and sat out, side by side with Ah Liu.

"Master? Why did you come out?" Ah Liu asked, because Li Bai was also sitting outside, the shaft immediately seemed crowded.

"It's okay, I'll just sit here. You catch your car and go to the clinic." Zhang said and patted Ah Liu.

Ah Liu hurriedly waved his whip, speeding up the carriage.The carriage traveled all the way through the streets and alleys, and took the fastest route to the medical clinic called Yaowangtang in Xiuyefang.This medical clinic is well-known and time-honored. The doctor sitting in the clinic is a disciple of Sun Simiao, the king of medicine. He is in his seventies this year, and his surname is Zhao.Because he is the best at treating children's diseases, he is good at rejuvenating his hands, and he has saved countless children who were in danger of dying in his practice for decades. He is extremely respected, so everyone in Luoyang calls him Zhao Shijun. What is his real name?Although he is good at treating children's diseases, Zhao Shijun is a master of medicine and Taoism, and he is also very good at Jinren trauma. There is a legend that he once reattached the finger of a child who was chopped off by a guillotine, which is very miraculous.

The door of the hospital is wide open, and the threshold is removed, so you can come and go freely.This is the case on weekdays, for the convenience of patients in and out.So Ah Liu directly drove the carriage into the courtyard.Immediately, two drug boys came forward to meet them. It seemed that there must be a serious emergency patient coming in such a hurry.

The door of the carriage was fully opened, Li Bai and Ah Liu were ready to work together to carry Shen Sui out, and under the carriage, two medicine boys were also waiting to pick up the patient.But Zhang Ruohan hugged Shen Sui tightly and didn't let go, the men were helpless, they couldn't do anything to Zhang Ruohan, they could only keep persuading him.

In the end, Zhang said:

"Lotus maid, let go first and let the gentleman treat Bo Zhao. If this continues, Bo Zhao will bleed to death! What is more important than life?"

These words seemed to touch Zhang Ruohan's heartstrings, she seemed to have made a difficult decision before letting go of Shen Sui.So Shen Sui was finally carried out of the car and sent to the hospital.Zhang Ruohan followed closely behind, she ignored her disheveled hair and blood-stained white clothes, and just followed Shen Sui closely.

Shen Sui was carried into the consulting room used by the gentlemen of Zhao Shi in the past, and she was placed on a high bed covered with clean and tidy white folded cloth.Mr. Zhao Shijun is already making preparations in the material room.The sleeve robe has been tied with a drawstring to avoid getting in the way, and the long fluffy and gray beard is braided into a braid.After Shen Sui was put down, the old man with clean hands, a ruddy complexion and a childlike face came to the side of the couch. The medicine boy beside him picked up the scissors and was about to cut the clothes and fabrics from her wound.

"Stop!" Zhang Ruohan shouted.

The medicine boy was taken aback.

Zhang Ruohan caught up, grabbed the white-haired old man Zhao Shijunzi's wrist, pursed his lips, and looked into the old man's eyes with a pair of red and swollen clear eyes.Zhao Shijunzi's clear, wise and vicissitude-stricken eyes, like the deep ocean, instantly swept Zhang Ruohan into it.But soon, the old man blinked his eyes and smiled, and Zhang Ruohan returned to his original position.

"Little lady, don't worry, doctors are people-oriented, the rest is not important." Then he turned his face, and said to Zhang Shuo, Li Bai and others who were standing at the door:

"People outside the clinic are not allowed to enter, lest the evil spirits invade and infect the wounded, all go out."

Human life is at stake, the healer is the most important, Zhao made a gentleman speak, who would dare not listen?So all the people who rushed in, all obediently retreated out and waited outside the clinic, including Zhang Ruohan.

The treatment started, and there was no sound in the consultation room.In the outer hall, there was a medicine boy serving tea, but the few people sitting in the outer hall were silent, and no one touched the tea.Their expressions were either anxious, dull, or thoughtful.Zhang said that he was really worried about Shen Sui's life, not only because Shen Sui was the only hope for the second half of the lotus maidservant's life, but also because he really admired this young man, and his heart of love was burning; It was Zhang Ruohan, who was always smart and indifferent like water, now she seemed to be hollowed out, her snow-white clothes were stained with crimson blood, her clear eyes almost lost their former brilliance, drooping, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

But it was Li Bai who was thoughtful, holding his sword and leaning against the pillar quietly.After a while, he twirled his beard and walked out.
