The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

The drizzle was pouring non-stop outside the window, and as far as the eyes could see was a dark and narrow room, with gray walls, traces of water seepage everywhere, a musty smell in the room, and some familiar herbal smells, as if it had been a long time. There is no ventilation and sun exposure.

Lu Xiuyuan was lying on the bed. Although his body was covered with a thick quilt, there was a wave of dampness, which could not stop the cold from penetrating into his bones. His throat was so dry that it was smoldering, and his stomach seemed to have not eaten for a few days, and his stomach acid was crazy Corroding the walls of his stomach, causing bursts of burning pain.

He clutched his hungry stomach and stared at the strange roof in a daze. The extra memories in his mind made him doubt life.

He was originally a general surgeon in modern times, but he didn't have a good rest for two consecutive days because there were a lot of emergency surgery patients recently. After rescuing the last patient with a ruptured liver and spleen, he couldn't help lying on the floor of the operating room because he was too tired. I fell asleep, but I didn't expect this sleep. When I opened my eyes again, my consciousness woke up in the body of a young man from this strange dynasty.

Thinking of the things that happened in the memory of the original owner, he himself couldn't help sighing that it was a trick of good fortune.

But that's all in the past tense. Now he is the one who is starving and freezing. Lu Xiuyuan huddled under the blanket and found that it was getting colder and colder, so he simply moved and sat up, but his body was too weak and he fell back on the bed. , I suffocated for breath, and almost passed out again.

In a daze, he heard a childish exclamation, and then saw a small furry head leaning over. Against the light, he squinted his eyes and recognized it. A little troublemaker who jumps up and down the house all day.

"Uncle! Are you awake?! Are you really awake??" Xiao Lian moved her face closer, staring at his face without blinking.

Lu Xiuyuan opened his mouth, wanting to drink water, but his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak anything, so he just pointed to his mouth.

Xiao Lian tilted her head, and asked suspiciously: "Uncle, do you want to drink water? I'll get it for you~"

He got up and took a bowl of water on the table next to him. After seeing Lu Xiuyuan drink it, he realized what happened. He stomped his feet excitedly, swished open the door and rushed out.

"Grandma! Mother! Uncle woke up! Uncle finally woke up!"

After drinking a bowl of warm water, her dry throat soothed a lot. Xiao Lian hurriedly ran without closing the door. Hearing the sound, the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier again. The breath made him shiver uncontrollably, and when his throat tickled, he coughed violently.

He coughed so badly that his face was congested, as if he was about to cough up his lungs, and he shook the drinking bowl under the bed. He turned over so that he could cough a little easier.

Lu Xiuyuan coughed for a while, and finally felt better. At this time, the two women rushed in, and before he could react, the older woman rushed to him, blinking, and tears fell down .

"Bless the ancestors! My poor son, you finally woke up!" The elderly woman, the mother of the original owner, Mrs. Zhang Yuanrong Zhang, was already graying at her temples, and she was lying on the side of the bed crying. Days of worrying and exhausting made the corners of her eyes a few wrinkles, and she looked thin and haggard. The younger woman in the back was his sister-in-law. She put down the medicine and closed the door, and her eyes were red when she stood aside .

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiuyuan felt very uncomfortable. He stretched out his hand, wiped away tears for Mrs. Zhang, and comforted, "Mom, I'm fine, I'm much better now."

In fact, the original owner was purely innocent. Who would have thought that he just went up the mountain to collect some herbs, but on the way home he accidentally fell into a trap dug by a hunter. By the time a person discovers that he has been rescued, his consciousness has already burned out.

The world he lives in now is called the Daqing Dynasty, a dynasty that has not been recorded in history. The original owner is also named Lu Xiuyuan. He has just turned 17 years old and lives in Jinshan Village, Ping'an County, which belongs to the relatively remote north.

He was young and smart, and after two days of classes secretly hid in the school in the village, he could memorize the content taught by his master by heart when he came back. The Lu family saw that the child is so smart, even if he sells everything, he has to study for him!

This study lasted for ten years, and he lived up to expectations and passed the scholar examination last year. At that time, they were such a remote village with such backward resources. It was a glorious thing for Lu Xiuyuan to pass the scholar examination at this age. What's more, he is the first scholar in their village!I won’t talk about how the villagers celebrated. Afterwards, the Lu family worked hard to make money, allowing Lu Xiuyuan to continue taking the imperial examination so that he could become a high-ranking official in the future!

The tragedy also happened because of this. After his father Lu Dafu harvested the crops in the field, he went to help others to do short-term labor. As a result, he stumbled and fell from a high place, his right leg was broken, and his internal organs were also damaged and displaced in different ways. He was seriously injured. .After the family manager found out, he gave his father two taels of silver and disappeared after sending his father back.

Their family didn't have much money at first, and now, in order to treat their father's illness, they even sold everything that could be sold in the family, and managed to stabilize the condition. But if the right leg is not treated properly, it will stand still It's hard to say if you can't stand up, let alone go to work in the field, it is absolutely impossible. This is a fatal blow to a farmer.

His elder brother Lu Xiuwu is now staying in the town, carrying sandbags as coolies every day before dawn, and all the money he earns is used to buy medicines to nourish his body, but those nourishing medicines are too expensive, and his little money is just a drop in the bucket.

Seeing this situation, the original owner remembered that he had read some knowledge about herbal medicine in the bookstore before, so he carried a basket to the mountain to collect herbs early in the morning. Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang told him to come back early, because it might rain after noon.

Unexpectedly, he didn't pay attention when going down the mountain, and fell into the trap dug by the hunter. He was trapped at the bottom of the narrow well, surrounded by smooth mud walls about three meters high.The original owner climbed several times, but each time he climbed halfway and fell down.

Not long after, it rained heavily again. The cold autumn rain not only made the edge of the well wall more slippery, but also quickly took away the heat from his body. After a while, his lips turned blue and his whole body trembled.

After falling down to the bottom of the trap again, the original owner could no longer stand up. Thinking of his parents who were still waiting at home, he finally couldn't help crying with his basket in his arms, waiting desperately for the arrival of death...

Thus, the modern Lu Xiuyuan came here.

"Erlang! Are you really alright? If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell your mother. Don't worry about money." Zhang reached out and touched his forehead. After confirming that the temperature had dropped, he was relieved.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'll be fine after lying down for a while, but how is Dad? Is he better?" Lu Xiuyuan tried to ignore the discomfort in his stomach and asked.

Before Yuan went to the mountain, his father was unconscious several times. After he recovered, he found that his right leg was broken. very bad.Since I have occupied someone else's body, I naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibility.

"Your father is much better now, and the swelling on his leg has gone down. I was afraid that he would be worried, so I didn't tell him about you. Don't talk about it when we meet." Mrs. Zhang saw that he was still in good spirits, and gently He helped him to sit up, motioned for his daughter-in-law to bring the medicine, then stirred it with a spoon, blew a few times, and was about to feed him the medicine.

Lu Xiuyuan's actual age is not too young, so he didn't have the nerve to let his elders take care of him like this. He quickly reached out his hand, took the medicine bowl and drank it down. After drinking some hot food, his stomach didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Zhang was completely relieved, "I will ask Dr. Xu to prescribe this medicine when I have time, and it will be fine after taking it."

"Mom, I'm already cured, don't buy any more medicine in the future." Thinking of the current family situation, Lu Xiuyuan decided to reduce some unnecessary expenses.

"You scared my mother out this time, drink it a few more times to strengthen it. Thanks to Dr. Xu's kind heart, the medicine prescribed doesn't cost much, and the curative effect is even more effective than the medicine prescribed by Dr. Huang." Pause for a moment , Mrs. Zhang confessed: "When you recover from your illness, you must go to the Ping'an Hall to thank Dr. Xu when you arrive in town."

Lu Xiuyuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

The bowl of soup and medicine just now is very familiar to Lu Xiuyuan. It is the ephedra soup commonly used in modern times. medicine.

What's more, their family is already poor now.

"I really don't need to buy any more medicine. Let's save some money to show my dad's legs. Mother, you don't have to accompany me anymore. You can talk to my dad more." Lu Xiuyuan urged.

Seeing Lu Xiuyuan's appearance, Zhang's heart finally returned to his stomach, a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his finger to poke his head. "When I wake up, I think about your father. How long has it been since Mother came here?"

Lu Xiuyuan also smiled. In fact, his body is too weak. Even if he has the memory of the original owner, he can't get up the energy to deal with them now. After that, the smile stopped for a moment.

He remembered that Mrs. Zhang was supposed to be wearing a silver bracelet on her left wrist. It was her dowry and her only jewellery. Polished.

Before the original owner went up the mountain, she waved him to be careful on the road. The silver bracelet was shining in the morning sun. It was the most dazzling existence in the original owner's memory of his mother. Now that the bracelet is gone, it is not difficult to imagine its whereabouts. Looking at Zhang Lu Xiuyuan's empty left wrist and white hair on the sideburns made Lu Xiuyuan feel mixed feelings.

I don't know if it was influenced by the original owner, but he was overwhelmed by the heavy sense of guilt, but now that he has used Lu Xiuyuan's body, he must take good care of his family for him. Considering the current financial conditions of the family, the most urgent thing is to take care of it quickly Body, and then work hard to make money, and you will have everything you should have in the future.
