Lin Gongzi medicine jar

The cool wind in early autumn will only take away the heat of summer a few days ago, and the whole city of Huaizhou has just felt refreshed for a while.

Now it is the time when the afternoon is exhausted, but the east wing of the inner courtyard of the Huaizhou magistrate is busy. I saw a few young maids coming in and out with basins under the command of a woman in a blue skirt. Non-stick.

Although the woman didn't move, there was already a thin layer of sweat on her face, she didn't care to wipe it off, so she raised the curtain and walked in.

She looked around for a week, and there were already seven or eight charcoal pots in the room, which were full of heat, and if they were added, it would be stuffy.She waved to the maids behind her, preventing them from bringing in the charcoal basin, and asked, "Doctor Min, is this heat enough?"

An old man with silver hair was unhurriedly arranging his needlestone bag. His back was slightly bent, and he seemed to be a little deaf. The woman said it again before he paused.

There is no furnishings in the room, just a warm couch in the empty center, and a young man is sitting on the couch.

The old man walked slowly to the boy's side, shook his hand, and carefully looked at the boy's face, "Do you feel hot?"

"Yeah." The boy answered in a low voice, raised his head and said to the woman, "I'm so bored, Mother Zhou, please open the window."

When the woman heard the words, her face showed distress, and she couldn't help looking at the old man. When she saw the old man nodding, she immediately opened the window halfway.

"You all go out, and don't let anyone in." The old man told the woman, then turned to the young man, "Take off your clothes."

Zhou's mother stepped back to the door, then walked to the boy's side again, and helped the boy take off his outer shirt. When she was about to change his inner clothes, she saw the boy shook his head and turned sideways, "I'll do it myself." , mother go out."

Zhou's mother thought that her young master was already fifteen, and she was no longer a child, so she stopped and backed out.

Lin Xi took off her underwear, lay flat on the warm couch, put her hands on her sides, and looked up at the wooden beams on the roof.

He didn't know if he had suffered retribution in this life because of too much corruption in his previous life.But it was obvious that he had already paid the price in his previous life, and was sentenced to death to end his young life, but he didn't know what it was to be reborn to this unknown dynasty with his memory?

When she was just born, Lin Xi was still groggy and unconscious. It was only when she was two or three years old that she gradually understood the people and things around her.At the end of spring and the summer solstice, people have already put on thin shirts, but Lin Xi has just taken off her cotton jacket and fur clothes. In summer, let alone using ice, she dares not use force even with a fan. It seems that she will not be able to walk anytime, anywhere. That life and death hurdle.

However, as she gets older, Lin Xi's body is still so fragile that she can fall down when the wind blows, and she can't stand the cold or hot weather.The entire Huaizhou city knew that the young master of the Lin family was panting after walking three steps, and he could kill half his life by running fast.

With a medicine jar in his hand and a pill in his mouth, everyone said that the child would not live long.

Although Lin Xi was lucky and was born in a wealthy family, he didn't know how many times he had to die for such a terrible body. He always felt that the sins in his previous life were too deep, and a happy death was not enough. He will continue to pay back in this life.However, even though it was so painful, he still didn't want to die. People only know the value of life after dying once.

Even though his mother in this world had been ill for a long time and passed away, and he had a high fever and difficulty breathing, he never gave up.

At that time, Dr. Fujian, known as the master of Xinglin, was invited into the gate of the prefect of Huaizhou.

Prefect Lin shook hands as if grasping at a life-saving straw, and sent Lin Xi to Dr. Min's arms. In the early morning of the next day, Lin Xi's high fever subsided and her breathing stabilized.

I thought that my life was guaranteed and my health was hopeful, but I didn't know whether it was the cold that invaded my dilapidated body, and Lin Xi's cold symptoms became more and more out of control.Now the common medicine stones are gone. Fortunately, Dr. Fujian is not a master of Xinglin, and he was not troubled by this mere cold. However, the method he used made Lin Xi truly understand what life is better than death.

Dr. Min washed his hands slowly and carefully in the tub, dried them, opened the needle stone bag, and placed it beside Lin Xi.He didn't make a move immediately, his eyes just lingered on Lin Xi's body, as if he was observing carefully.

"Old man, you said this is the last time. After this time, my body will gradually improve. At least... I don't need acupuncture anymore." Lin Xi's voice became tense in the silent room, and he I can't forget the acupuncture every three months in the past five years. Every time I get acupuncture, the whole body feels so painful that it hurts the nerves and hurts the bone marrow.The pain was dense and long, and there was nowhere to hide. It seemed that I couldn't take another breath, but I waited for the next one for a long time.

Dr. Min clearly saw Lin Xi's hands clenched tightly and then loosened with difficulty. His white joints were stiff, but the veins on the back of his hands were protruding high. The young man's hands were as thin as a human's, as if they would break if touched.He was not angry at Lin Xi's rudeness. His gaze at this time was not the calm or even indifferent Lin Xi was familiar with, but now it was full of pity and nostalgia. The kindness in his eyes was something Lin Xi had never seen before, but he never saw it again. Can't see it either.

"Old man..." After a long time without getting an answer from Dr. Min, Lin Xi turned her head nervously.

The young man's eyes were full of fear, Dr. Min narrowed his eyes, concealed his emotions, lowered his head and picked up a long and thin silver needle, and said casually: "The old man said, this last encounter, The most taboo is emotional instability, you are so frizzy, I am afraid that your success will fall short."

Hearing this, Lin Xi immediately relaxed her body, and when she wanted to make sure, she heard Dr. Min's voice approaching calmly, "However, as it is now, you are powerless if you want to do it all over again."

Suddenly a familiar pain hit her body, Lin Xi opened her mouth, but couldn't make any sound.

"The old man's time is approaching, and I don't have the mental strength to perform nine turns and nine times again."

Dr. Min's voice was as steady as his hands, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead calmly after the three-inch long silver needles were inserted into the nine big acupuncture points on Lin Xi's body, "I have said it many times before, and now the old man again Nagging once, if you still can’t remember, it’s God’s will. Nine turns and nine times can be roughly divided into six steps. The first step is nine pillars to fix the acupoints. Qi and cold, a total of ninety-nine and 27 stitches. Remember, don’t mess up the order of any stitch, forget the severity, otherwise it will be a life.”

After 27 two-inch long silver needles, Lin Xi's whole body was covered with fine cold sweat, and 54 one-inch-long silver needles fell from the needles. The cold sweat had gathered together and flowed slowly along the trembling body into the warm mattress beneath her body. .

"When the sick body's cold air is driven to the skin, and the pinholes turn purple and blood oozes out, then it is the last three steps, withdrawing the needles one by one according to the flow of Qi and blood. Now you have experienced deeply how to circulate Qi many times, and you should also remember it Clear. After the starting needle, the auxiliary needle follows, and finally the column needle..."

Zhou's mother was standing by the door, listening to the sound inside quietly, rubbing the juan handkerchief on her hands, and couldn't help but put her hands together and bowed to the sky, saying something in her mouth: "Bodhisattva bless, my young master From being careful to doing good but not doing evil, the master is a rare blue sky, a clear mirror from the sky and the earth. The previous sufferings and sufferings are all for the future blessings. Please bless the young master to be safe and smooth, to clear up the cold and live to 99, believer girl May you worship Buddha and chant scriptures every day, and do good deeds diligently.”

Mother Zhou was originally the dowry maid of the Lin family's mother, and later became Lin Xi's nanny after marrying someone. Because the Lin family's mother had a serious illness during childbirth, Lin Xi was taken care of by Zhou's mother most of the time. After Lin's mother passed away, the relationship became more serious It is like mother and child.Every time Lin Xi gave an injection, Zhou's mother felt the pain in her eyes, and she wished she could replace it with her own body.Now this is the last time, and I pray every day.

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, a little flustered, but she lowered her voice when she got closer. Mother Zhou looked up, and it was Lin Qing, the prefect of Lin who was supposed to handle government affairs in the government office.

"Mother Zhou, did Xi'er ever come out?" Zhifu Lin obviously came here in a hurry, still panting, with a look of anxiety on his face.The servant behind him couldn't help lowering his voice, and quietly stood aside.

Everyone knows how much the prefect Lin cherishes this son. He hasn't remarried for so many years, and it's probably because he doesn't wrong Lin Xi. So far, there is only one concubine by his side. Mrs. Lin opened her face because of her body injury in childbirth. Now it's important At the critical moment, he didn't even have the qualifications to show his face.

"I have seen the master, but the young master has not come out yet. Dr. Min told me that this is the last time, but it could not be more dangerous. Bodhisattva bless you, the young master can finally suffer less crimes. This time, nothing will happen." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he raised his eyes to see that there was sweat on the prefect Lin's forehead, and said: "If you are worried, master, you might as well sit in the side room for a while. Doctor Min said that the last time will be longer, so I don't know when it will be better. .”

Prefect Lin looked at the closed door, nodded and said, "No, I'll just wait here."

After waiting for a while, I heard the porter report, "Master, Master Pei Xuan is here."

"What else is he here for?" Zhifu Lin's brows that had just been healed for a while were deeply wrinkled again, and he waved his hand to make people turn away.However, just as the concierge took a few steps back and turned back, he heard him sigh again, "Forget it, everything is not as important as Xi'er now. He is senior brother Xi'er, and he always loves Xi'er very much. If Xi'er comes out and sees him I'll be happy too, let him in."

Not long after the concierge went out, he saw a man in green shirt who had just reached the weak crown hurried in. He was handsome but saw that Lin Zhifu's face was a little embarrassed, but he still bowed to salute. He was about to speak, but Lin Zhifu raised his hand to stop him , with a cold expression on his face, "There is nothing to discuss, you have always known my temperament, if you want to continue to behave like this, then you don't have to recognize me..." Seeing Pei Xuan's color change in vain, I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I softened "Forget it, now that Xi'er has escaped death, it is inconvenient to talk to you about this. If you just want to talk about this matter, then you don't need to waste your time and go back."

Hearing this, Pei Xuan smiled wryly, and said: "Teacher, it's not that you are all students. You have no complaints about beating or punishing students, but Xi'er is my junior brother. Every time I see him in such pain, the students feel no less distressed than him." Teacher, now it's only for Xi'er, nothing else."

Prefect Lin nodded, and stopped making a sound.

Lin Xi didn't know what the conflict between the master and apprentice outside the room was, but his body was now covered with fine and dense needles, and the purple spots were now slowly oozing out of the skin, and the sweat on his body was condensed on the surface of the body as soon as the cold air passed by. Together, there was only a sound of chattering teeth, and the surrounding temperature had dropped at some point, and the hot air from the charcoal basin could no longer maintain the warmth of the room.

"remember……"

Lin Xi shook his voice and gritted his teeth to barely utter these three words. No one knew better than him what kind of process it was.

However, Dr. Min’s voice still spoke slowly, “The so-called start of work is easy to finish and difficult to finish, so it is the same with closing the needle. At this time, it is not allowed to be distracted for a moment. Don’t be impatient, and don’t be slow. Once an injection is started, another injection will follow. You must get up before the flow of qi and blood, and you must not block it, otherwise you will see the emptiness, and your life will not be guaranteed."

Until the last needle was pulled out, Dr. Min's hand was extremely stable, but when he stood up, he was in a daze, and his eyes seemed to be clouded, showing his old age .However, he still slowly took the dry cotton cloth placed on the low table beside the couch, shook it off, covered Lin Xi's body, and helped him dry the condensed water on his body.

"You must remember not to take a bath immediately, otherwise the cold air will invade, and the previous suffering will be in vain."

Lin Xi's panting became more and more serious. He nodded and looked at Dr. Fujian in front of him, only to find that the old man's face had aged to 90 or [-] years old at some point, and his throat was slightly dry. He swallowed and said, "Old man, you How much mental strength is needed to get this set of needles, I can't run two steps for a sick person, how can I do it all with this physical strength, you take good care of it, and then find a good apprentice."

Although every time the needle is given, he wishes to strangle the old man to end the pain, but Lin Xi knows that it is because of Dr. Min's persistence that he has been able to survive until now, and he has never cherished his hard-won life more than at this moment .

He thanked the old man.

She was covered with a quilt, as if the warmth had returned, but now she had no strength, Lin Xi could only follow Dr. Min's hunched body with her eyes.

"Old man, you said that after the injection this time, my body will recover. You don't need to worry too much, I want to take care of you." Lin Xi said bluntly.

Doctor Fujian chuckled hoarsely, but his heart was slightly warm.Because of his poor health, this kid has a weird temper, and he doesn't speak well when he feels uncomfortable, but he is a good boy and a strong boy.

He wiped the silver needles with herbs one by one, put them in a cloth bag, rolled them into a roll, tied them with a leather rope and said, "This old man is very different. He has taught everything he should teach in the past five years. The medicine box includes this bag of silver needles." The needles are also left to you, and you won’t need to practice medicine to save people in the future, it’s just that the doctors are benevolent, if the victims don’t hurt themselves, they can help them if they can.”

Hearing this, Lin Xi's eyes turned red.

"You don't have to act like this. If you meet someone who can inherit my mantle in the future, I will pass on this set of nine turns and nine times to him. You only need to kowtow three times to the old man's tablet, and the rest is not necessary. .”

At this point, Lin Xi realized that it was too late.

"Do you still have any unfulfilled wishes? If you can achieve it...you will never refuse." Lin Xi's eyes at this moment are extremely sincere, even hopeful.

Dr. Min's face changed in vain. He looked at Lin Xi, opened his mouth, and finally said, "I have a granddaughter who passed away, but I don't know where she was buried. If you happen to know, then... burn the incense sticks. She should be around the same age." Just like your mother..."
