Make a long-term worker as an old attack

Early in the morning of the next day, when the sky was not completely bright, a light blue two-horse carriage ran out from the back door of Xue's house in Sanyuan County.

Xue Zhong and Niu Geng were driving in front, Xiaobai ran beside the carriage, and Xue Zhaoqing was in the carriage, taking good care of the haggard Xue Gan.

On the way to Weibei, Xue Zhong was concerned about Xue Gan's seriously ill body, so he didn't dare to drive the carriage too fast. It was more than four days when he arrived outside the poplar forest outside Weibei city.

"Young Master, are you here?" The poplar grove was very deserted, and it didn't look like anyone had ever lived there.

"Yes, Uncle Zhong." Xue Zhaoqing got out of the car and took a look. He was very familiar with this place, and he would definitely not admit his mistake. Together with Niu Geng, he carried Xue Qian out of the car. Then, Xue Zhong and Xue Zhaoqing used two hemp The rope tied Xue Gan to Niu Geng's back.

At this time, Xue Qian had almost completely lost consciousness.The exhaustion of the horses and horses these days undoubtedly further destroyed his spirit, which was already about to slacken.The daily food is becoming more and more difficult to feed, and now he only has a breath in his throat that is still hanging.

"Uncle Zhong, there is a Laiwang Inn in Weibei City, you go there to settle down first, after my two doctors have cured my father, I will definitely go to find you."

"Alright, Eldest Young Master, be careful, Geng Zi, take good care of Young Master!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhong!"

After talking, the two of them carried Xue Qian on their backs, led by Xiaobai, passed through the mysterious poplar grove and thick fog, and came to the very familiar small courtyard.

This small courtyard is the same as before, no matter how disturbed the outside world is, it always stands here so elegantly, accompanied by the rising smoke slowly.

There were several loud and clear Qin Opera sounds in the courtyard, and the two followed the sound, and saw an old man with white beard facing away from them, arranging medicinal materials in the courtyard.

Xiaobai barked several times, then jumped onto Old Chen's lap.

"Oh, Xiaobai, you're back! Okay, okay, don't lick, don't lick, it's so itchy." Xiaobai stood up on his hind legs, and kept pulling at Old Chen's clothes with his front legs, sticking out his tongue, one by one. He licked his face vigorously.

"Uncle Chen!" Niu Geng and Xue Zhaoqing shouted, and just as old Chen turned his face away, he saw the two kneeling on the ground.

"Please, Uncle Chen, save my father!" Xue Zhaoqing prostrated himself on the ground with all his piety.Because Niu Geng was carrying Xue Gan on his back, he didn't dare to make too much movement, but he also knelt on his knees.

"you!"

"Uncle Chen, please! Although my father is a gentry and landlord, he has treated the tenants and poor farmers kindly all these years. Fifteen years ago, there was a severe drought in Sanyuan County, and the whole area of ​​crops failed. My father opened a warehouse to help the poor, just Countless people's lives were saved in that year. I also hope that, Uncle Chen, you don't care about my father's background from a wealthy family, and save my father's life!" Xue Zhaoqing didn't even lift his head, and his words were very sad.

"You two boys, why are you still kneeling? Why don't you put him on the kang!" Old Chen said to Xue Zhaoqing and Niu Geng, leaving Xiao Bai aside.

After a lot of tossing, Xue Qian was finally put on the kang.

Old Chen touched the thread-like floating veins on Xue Qiangan's thin wrist, rolled his eyelids and tongue, and couldn't help but tighten his brows.

"How long has he been like this?"

"It should be more than four months."

"Did you take any decoction during the period?"

"Yes, yes!" Xue Zhaoqing hurriedly took out the prescription written by Jiang Lian from his bosom.

"Who prescribed this medicine?! What an idiot! There is no medicine for the disease in the whole prescription, it is all supplementary stuff."

"Uncle Chen, then my father..."

"Don't worry, if I'm here, your father won't die! You two, boil hot water for me in the kitchen. The more the better, take out the big bucket in the kitchen and wash it. Your father took a medicated bath. The blood stasis in his head is extremely serious, and he must fight the poison with poison."

"Okay!" After saying that, Xue Zhaoqing and Niu Geng ran straight to the kitchen, boiled hot water and cleaned the vat, then moved the vat full of hot water into the hut.

"Come on, put him in the water." Inside the house, Old Chen had already given Xue Gan two needles all over his body.Xu Shi is getting old, after the two needles are passed, he is already sweating profusely.But at this time, he didn't care about himself, and hurriedly told the two of them: "During this time, test the temperature with your hands from time to time, don't let the water cool down, I will add a medicinal material to him every hour, and after six hours , and pull him out of the barrel."

"Yeah!" Niu Geng left Xue Zhaoqing to watch Xue Qian in the hut, and he watched the firewood in the kitchen, chopping another batch when he was free, while old Chen Tou blindly mixed herbs in the yard.

When the last medicine was put into the vat, old Chen was already yawning and couldn't hold it anymore: "I'm going to sleep for a while, you two look at him, remember to pull him out of the vat after an hour, wipe him dry Get back up and call me up." As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the side tired, and when he closed his eyes, he started snoring loudly.

"Qing'er, you should sleep for a while too." Niu Geng poured another bucket of hot water into the wooden bucket, and tested the temperature in the bucket with his hand, it was slightly hot to his hands, just right.Seeing Xue Zhaoqing leaning beside the barrel, his eyes seemed to be closed.Looked terribly sleepy.

"Huh? It's okay, I'm not sleepy." Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Xue Zhaoqing patted his cheeks. There were a lot of things in the past few days, coupled with the tiring journey, thinking about his father's illness, then The strings in his brain were already extremely tight, and it was the ultimate for him to survive until now.

"Don't be brave, you go to sleep, I'll just watch over here."

"Brother Niu Geng, I'll squint for a while, just for a while." Xue Zhaoqing leaned on the edge of the kang next to the barrel, his voice became weaker and softer, and after a while, his breathing became much more even.

When Xue Zhaoqing woke up again, he found himself lying on the kang in the thatched hut, and within sight was the sturdy body of Niu Geng, with his back to Xue Zhaoqing, and was holding a clean towel to dry Xue's body Wipe it clean.

Xue Gan soaked in the barrel for a full six hours, but his skin did not show any signs of swelling and turning white. Perhaps because of the effects of various medicinal materials, his originally gray face became slightly more bloody.

Old Chen was standing on the kang, holding a knife with a cold light in his hand. The sharp tip of the knife appeared abnormally in the faint light of the small kerosene lamp. Sober up.

"The congestion in his head is almost gone. I will cut his flesh and bloodlet him later. Although he is unconscious now, the pain will be unbearable after the knife is cut, and he may struggle. Help me hold his limbs, in case If you move around and cut the wrong place, then even the god Da Luo will be hard to save." Old Chen told Niu Geng, Xue Zhaoqing listened, and got up from the kang.

"I'll hold Dad's hands, Brother Niu Geng, you can hold your feet." Xue Zhaoqing pressed Xue Gan's hands tightly with both hands, and Old Chen's hand fell with a knife, three points above his wrist Gently cut a knife.Xue Gan shrugged his whole body, as if a force was about to burst out.

Xue Zhaoqing added another three points of strength to his hands.Old Chen raised his knife again, and slashed at the same place on the other wrist.

Immediately afterwards, a third cut was made on the leg three inches from the bottom of the buttocks.Xue Qian, who had endured great pain, became more and more conscious of resistance, struggling with his hands and feet. Although his eyes were still closed tightly, a painful moan came from his throat.

"Father, bear with it, bear with it." Xue Zhaoqing's eyes were weeping, the knife was cut on Xue Gan's body, but it was cut in his heart.

Niu Geng pressed Xue Gan's legs firmly, and looked at old Chen Tou firmly with his round eyes. Old Chen Tou raised his hand again, and under the dim kerosene lamp, made the final cut.

As soon as the knife was cut, Xue Qian, who was lying on the kang, uttered a long sound from the depth of his throat, and his whole body arched upwards slightly like a shrimp, and then he returned to the kang limply, as if all the blood in his body was drained instantly. superior.

On the four openings that were made, black bloodstains flowed out slowly. The blood was different from the usual bloodstains. It was dark and thick. It didn't look like fresh blood, but rather like the bloody tofu that had been placed for a long time.

"Huh..." Old Chen let out a light breath: "I first used acupuncture to break up the congestion in his head, and then took a medicinal bath to further dissolve the congestion. Now, when the congestion is gone, the blood in these openings will There will be bright red blood flowing out. At that time, you apply this bottle of medicine to the wound, and the bleeding will stop, and then bandage the wound with a clean cotton cloth. If there is no accident, he will be dead tomorrow morning Should be able to wake up."

"Really?!" Xue Zhaoqing was overjoyed: "Uncle Chen, thank you for saving my father!"

"Okay, okay, don't thank you! What's the use of saying so many good words, the old man's chest is stuck to his back, why don't you hurry up and get some food!"

"Okay, okay, I'm going right away!" Niu Geng rushed into the kitchen without saying a word, and brought over two bowls of noodles in a short while. After eating a few mouthfuls of bowls, he was satisfied. It seemed that he was really hungry.After eating a bowl of noodles, he fell asleep without even wiping his mouth.

Xue Zhaoqing couldn't eat too much, so he shared a bowl of noodles with Niu Geng and ate it. He focused on the blood that flowed from his father's wound. The blood from the wound was only slightly reddish brown.

He hurriedly sprayed medicine, bandaged Xue Qian, dressed Xue Qian and made a quilt. After all these things were cleaned up, the huge moon had already gone west.

Old Chen's thatched hut didn't have any more kangs, so Xue Zhaoqing pillowed on Niu Geng's arm, and the two curled up in the kitchen all night.
