Mrs. Rebirth

The boat sailed for three days, the whole journey was calm and the weather was exceptionally clear. It didn't even rain once. A few servants and women were arranged to take turns to be on duty at night, but everything was safe and sound.

In the middle of the night, Luo Xiaoliu suddenly knocked on Zuo Shaoyan's door in a hurry, "Master...Master...Third Master is not good..."

A servant girl opened the door a crack with a dark face, and cursed in a low voice: "You're going to die, I don't want to see what time it is, the uncle has gone to bed early."

"Sister Qiong, please inform me that the third master is sick, and he is vomiting and diarrhea at the moment. It is really scary to look at. I have no choice but to disturb the uncle."

"Are you seasick? Go to the boatman and ask for some medicine to drink a few times." The servant girl answered him impatiently.

"No..." Luo Xiaoliu looked anxious, and when he heard a low and hoarse male voice from inside, he shouted in spite of himself: "Master, I'm Xiaoliu, and the third master is seriously ill, please find a way."

After a while, Zuo Shaoyan came out wrapped in a thick fox fur, frowned, and reprimanded displeasedly: "Be clear, what's wrong with the third brother?"

Luo Xiaoliu then told the belly script one by one, what was vomiting and diarrhea, what was his pale face, what was a rash on his body, Zuo Shaoqing said that Zuo Shaoqing was about to die.

Hearing what he said was serious, Zuo Shaoyan didn't dare to delay, and followed Luo Xiaoliu into Zuo Shaoqing's room.

There is only one charcoal basin in the room, although it is better than the outside, but it is still a bit cold, through the weak light, Zuo Shaoyan saw a humanoid object wrapped in a thick quilt on the bed, and that Liu Ma was standing aside Wipe away tears.

"What's going on?" Zuo Shaoyan stepped forward quickly, pulled down the quilt a little, and suddenly revealed Zuo Shaoqing's exquisite face. He observed it carefully, and it turned out that it was abnormally white. Unusual heat.

"Third brother...Shao Qing..." He called softly, and saw Zuo Shaoyan's eyelids move, but he still didn't wake up.

Liu Ma said with red eyes: "Third Master has been not feeling very well these days, and he ate very little. The old slaves thought it was because of seasickness, so they didn't pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly... Third Master suddenly developed a high fever at night, There is also a red rash on the body, and it really doesn't look like seasickness."

There was no doctor on board, only a boatman who knew a little about medicine, and Zuo Shaoyan asked people to invite that boatman without hesitation.

The boatman came in respectfully and saluted, lifted the quilt and pulled out Zuo Shaoqing's arm, secretly touched Zuo Shaoqing's smooth and white wrist, and then he took the pulse in a decent way.

After a while, he let go of Zuo Shaoqing's hand, and then lifted the quilt to reach out to untie Zuo Shaoqing's belt.

It's okay for a doctor to do this kind of thing, but Liu Ma, who always pays attention to him, always feels that the boatman's eyes are obscene, so she couldn't help but stepped forward and knocked off his hand, and scolded: "What are you doing? I didn't hear that the doctor had to take off his clothes after diagnosis." of!"

The boatman was not angry either. He rubbed his hands and took a step back, explaining with a smile: "Hey, didn't you just hear that this gentleman has a rash? How do you know what it is if you don't look at it?"

At this moment, Zuo Shaoqing woke up faintly, looked around in a daze of reality, and then asked Zuo Shaoyan: "Why is big brother here?... What's wrong with me?"

After listening to Liu Ma's succinct explanation, he coughed twice, helped Liu Ma's hand to sit up, leaned sickly on the head of the bed, and said to the boatman: "Sorry, my nanny is a little too cautious, We're all men, so it's okay to take a look." After speaking, he went to untie his obscene clothes.

There was an evil light in the boatman's eyes, he walked forward with a smile, and intentionally rubbed oil on Zuo Shaoqing's chest, and then he observed carefully.

Seeing this, he immediately took several steps back in fright, and pointed at Zuo Shaoqing in shock: "This... this is smallpox!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked, and the maids who came in with Zuo Shaoyan hurriedly took a few steps back to protect Uncle Zuo, keeping him away from the source of infection.

Liu Ma wailed, threw herself on the bed and cried sadly, "My third master, why are you so miserable..."

Zuo Shaoyan calmly pushed away the woman standing in front of him, but did not take a step forward. He turned his head and asked the boatman, "Are you sure?"

"Third Master Zuo's symptoms are there, and the rash on his body, it must be smallpox!" The boatman left the room and ran out of the room, and quickly washed his hands with soap locust several times before going to the boat boss to report Condition.

In the room, everyone turned their questioning eyes on Zuo Shaoyan, "What should I do?"

"It's almost dawn. When we arrive at the next port, we will go ashore and find a doctor for Shao Qing to make a proper diagnosis. We will wait for the doctor to diagnose everything."

Having said that, everyone knows in their hearts that if the symptoms are so similar, it is likely to be smallpox. In this world, there is no one who has survived smallpox.

The most frightening thing is that this disease is contagious, and the people around Zuo Shaoyan look at Zuo Shaoqing with unfriendly eyes. It doesn't matter if the third master dies by himself, if the uncle and them are hurt, A thousand deaths are not enough compensation.

The big maid said before, "Let's not stay here anymore, it's not good to disturb the third master's rest."

Soon there were only Zuo Shaoqing's master and servant left in the room. When the door of the room was closed, Mama Liu howled loudly for a while, and the sound spread far away. Slow down the volume.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, stepped forward and whispered: "Master, if we do this, the uncle will find out in the future, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit."

Zuo Shaoqing stretched energetically, drank a cup of cold tea, let the hot body temperature dissipate a little, in order to catch a fever, he not only covered two thick quilts, but also put several hot women on the bed, Almost didn't heat him up.

"Don't worry, he will never know." Zuo Shaoqing took a wet cloth from the basin beside him to wipe off the red rash on his body, that is, it was dark at night and the lights were dark, otherwise he would know the red dots he randomly put on is fake.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the port, Zuo Shaoqing was still weakly wrapped in the quilt, pretending to be waiting to die.

Zuo Shaoyan asked Luo Xiaoliu to find a doctor, because he didn't know the place where he lived, it took Luo Xiaoliu two hours to find an old doctor with gray temples.

The doctor spoke a local dialect with a strong local accent, but luckily the medicine boy who followed behind him could speak Mandarin and acted as an interpreter.

After he finished his pulse diagnosis, he asked about Zuo Shaoqing's symptoms and his diet for the past few days in detail, and chatted while stroking his long white beard.

The medicine boy cleverly translated: "My master said that this young master is too weak, the old wounds in his body have not healed and he didn't have a good rest, and he was tired from the long journey, which caused him to feel unwell. It is best to find a place to rest for a few days first." On the road again."

"It's not smallpox?" Everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and no one was happy to encounter such a bad thing when they just went out.

"How could it be smallpox?" The medicine boy blinked his big black eyes and asked with contempt, "Who said it was smallpox?"

In the room, the previous boatman who checked the pulse was still there, and raised his voice to retort: ​​"He has vomiting and diarrhea, has a high fever, and has a rash all over his body. If it's not smallpox, what is it?"

The old doctor couldn't understand the language. After listening to the translation from the land, he glared at the boatman angrily and started a long speech.

"My master said that the vomiting and diarrhea were caused by seasickness, and the high fever was caused by the patient's weak constitution and the cold wind blowing on the boat. It was covered under the quilt."

Mama Liu looked at everyone in shame, and the boatman was also ashamed. He faced everyone's condemning eyes with red face, and said bitterly: "I said I don't know medical skills, but you just let me see it." , this is none of my business!" Then he ran away in despair.

Behind the crowd, Zuo Shaoqing stared at his back thoughtfully, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a relaxed feeling of being resurrected from the dead on his smiling face.

Zuo Shaoyan waved his hand, "Okay, since it's not smallpox, it's not a big problem, please ask the doctor to prescribe medicine."

After the old doctor prescribed the medicine, he emphasized several times, "You must cultivate yourself for a while, otherwise if you go on this journey, you will die if you don't die."

Zuo Shaoyan ordered people to send away the doctor, teacher and apprentice, and sent Luo Xiaoliu to buy medicine, then he frowned and meditated.

Zuo Shaoqing saw his embarrassment, and said empathetically: "Brother, why don't you go first, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover for a while, and I can't delay my schedule because of my younger brother."

Zuo Shaoyan retorted righteously: "What are you talking about? We brothers go out together, so naturally we should go on the road together. How can an elder brother leave a sick younger brother?"

Zuo Shaoqing looked at him moved, with moist eyes, "Brother, I know you are good to me, but this time we are rushing to Beijing for the exam, if this delays the exam, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Seeing Zuo Shaoyan's looseness, he continued: "Besides, my younger brother is really not used to life on this boat, so I want to go by land. When I get to Kyoto, how about my younger brother looking for my elder brother?"

He spoke honestly, and what he said was beneficial to both parties. Zuo Shaoyan had no reason to disagree, so he said: "It's too dangerous for the three of you, master and servant, to go on the road. I'll leave Mother Qin and Chenggui to you." , remember to be safe on the road."

Zuo Shaoqing really didn't want to keep these two people, but couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to agree first.
