Magical Medicine in ancient times

There were muffled noises in the dark night sky.The black clouds rolled up, and lightning bolts cut through the darkness, like red fire snakes with sparks swimming in the dark clouds.

The night sky was illuminated for a moment, and soon, a rumbling thunder resounded through the earth, as if to wake up the whole world.

The heavy rain poured down, and the bean-sized raindrops crackled on the ground, and soon layers of puddles formed.

The wind howled, and the trees in the forest danced with the wind, as if they were about to be uprooted.

The lights in Liu's mansion were brightly lit, and the servants were busy.

There was another burst of thunder, illuminating the pale, sweaty face of a woman in the room.Her cries of pain were drowned out in the thunder and lightning.

Master Liu stood at the door with an anxious expression on his face.He kept rubbing his hands, and kept walking back and forth with his feet.

Painful cries from the woman in the room kept coming.

A servant came out with pots of bright red water, and immediately another servant walked in with clean hot water.

The red rippling water was even more dazzling under the light of thunder and lightning. Master Liu was in a state of anxiety, and the lightning flashed across, reflecting a blue and white face of Master Liu.

"Ma'am, use your strength! It's about to come out..."

Madam Liu was lying on the bed with disheveled hair and dripping with sweat.

She bit her pale lip and exerted strength under her body, a sharp pain came, and the strength dissipated again.

Madam Liu shook her head in pain.Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and she whispered: "My child... come out quickly! Mother's baby..."

The midwife by the side looked anxious and her hands were trembling. Mrs. Liu gave birth today, and the situation is dangerous, and the child has been refusing to come out.If this goes on like this, one dead body and two lives must be killed.

She feared in her heart that if something happened to Mrs. Liu, she would be finished too!She couldn't help regretting it in her heart, it was all because she was greedy for Master Liu's rich reward, if she had known this, she really shouldn't have taken this job!Hey, I'm afraid I'll spend my life if I don't!

The midwife squeezed her whitish fingers and could only muster up her breath: "Madam, if you push harder, the young master will come out soon..."

Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, her fingers holding the quilt turned white.

"Where's Doctor Fang? Why hasn't he arrived yet!"

Mr. Liu heard Mrs. Liu's yelling in the room, and the deafening thunder in the sky, as if it hit the tip of his heart heavily.

"Master, it's raining too much outside! Doctor Fang hasn't arrived yet!"

Master Liu's heart was burning like a pot of oil, and he was anxious and restless. He angrily said: "Send someone to invite you! Hurry up..."

"Yes!" The servant was also flustered and ran out of the yard. He and several servants put on coir raincoats and rushed into the rainstorm.

Butler Liu stood at the half-open door, staring at the pitch-black rain curtain. Occasionally, a flash of lightning flashed by, illuminating the pouring rain, but there was no one there.

He has a square face and is fair and clean, with thick black brows raised high.The lanterns hanging on both sides had already been extinguished, and as the howling cold wind beat against the wall, they soon fell apart.

Another burst of lightning flashed, and a figure came running in the darkness.

Butler Liu's eyes widened suddenly, and he yelled, "Is it Doctor Fang?" The servants next to him also rushed up immediately, staring at the rain curtain expectantly with bulging eyes.

A black figure rushed over suddenly, covered in water stains, and stopped under the eaves.

The man was wearing a dark Taoist robe, water splashed down his body, and the robe was tightly wrapped around his thin body.The canvas in his hand has been completely wetted by water, and it is curled together, and it is impossible to read the words written on it.

He easily leaned the long pole against the wall, picked up the hem of the robe and twisted it hard, the water splashed to the ground, and the water flowed along the ground to the soles of Butler Liu and his servants, and their shoes were soaked in an instant Water, wet and cold.

Butler Liu felt a sense of disappointment in his heart, and suppressed the raised corners of his mouth.

The man who seemed to be fished out of the water was not polite at all. After twisting the hem of his robe, he began to shake his sleeves vigorously. Water droplets flew everywhere in an instant, and the dry clothes of Butler Liu and his servants were not spared.The faces of the two of them darkened instantly.

The servant raised his sleeve and touched the water droplets on his face, and said angrily, "Who are you? How can you shake the water around! Our clothes are all wet!"

It was only then that the Taoist seemed to realize that there were still two people standing beside him. He raised his wet face, and as a flash of lightning flashed by, Steward Liu saw clearly that this person had no two flesh and blood, his face, eyebrows and beard were covered with lacerations. The water is soaked, and the mess is rolled together.A pair of bright and slender eyes, thick and short eyebrows, drooping eyes, thin cheeks, and a thin mouth without water chestnut.

The Taoist laughed twice, and his voice was sharp, "The two benefactors, Pindao is a real person of Ming Huan. He passed through this place, but there was a sudden heavy rain. In desperation, he had to come here to take shelter from the rain. I wonder if we can let Pindao enter the house to rest."

Steward Liu was not happy, but the other party was a cultivator, so he had no choice but to suppress his strength, and said: "I hope the Taoist priest Haihan, the lady in the mansion is giving birth at the moment, it is really inconvenient to welcome guests! Please invite the Taoist priest here Let’s rest here, I’ll send someone to bring a piece of clean clothes over for the Taoist priest to change into.”

After finishing speaking, he turned to the side and said: "Ah Cheng, go to the mansion and get some clean clothes for the Taoist priest to change into, then go to the kitchen to see if there is any food, and bring some for the Taoist priest."

Ah Cheng was reluctant, but still nodded, "Yes!"

He was about to turn around and go back to the mansion, when Ming Huan's long and short eyebrows pressed down, his small eyes appeared even smaller, and he said in a shrill voice: "Why is the mansion treating guests like this? Why am I, Daoist Ming Huan?" As for eating at your door! You are so rude to people in my Taoist sect! Aren’t you afraid of being punished by Sanqing?”

Steward Liu was even more displeased, and his face sank immediately.But a Taoist, he entertained with nice words, but he was still so rampant!It's just that it's raining heavily at the moment, and he can't just drive him away directly, so he just doesn't bother to pay attention to him, and just said to Ah Cheng: "Ah Cheng, since the Taoist priest doesn't want to use the food in the mansion, you don't have to serve it ! When the rain stops, please ask the Taoist priest to leave by himself! My Liufu temple is small, and I really can’t accommodate the Taoist priest!"

When the Taoist heard this, he was instantly furious!Ever wondered when Daoist Ming Huan had received such malice since he became famous five years ago!He pouted and was about to curse.

But there was a sound of messy footsteps in the heavy rain, and soon a group of three or five people in capes and hats rushed out from the rain curtain.

Steward Liu beamed with joy, and shouted: "Doctor Fang!"

Dr. Fang was covered in moisture, and he didn't stop, he just said: "Don't gossip, let me go in and check on Madam's condition!"

Steward Liu nodded repeatedly, followed Doctor Fang and the others into the mansion in a hurry.

Only Daoist Ming Huan was left standing at the door, facing the cold wind and rain, very desolate.

He watched the few people disappear into the darkness, his anger welled up for a moment, and he swallowed the curse unwillingly.

As the cold wind blew, he sneezed loudly, and immediately shivered with his arms around his wet arms, regretting that he rejected Steward Liu just now in a fit of arrogance.

The rain gradually subsided, and the thunder gradually dissipated.

After a while, the door opened with a creak, and the midwife came out with a crumpled red child in her arms, and said with a happy face: "Congratulations to Master Liu, congratulations to Master Liu, mother and child are safe! You are a little son!"

Master Liu quickly picked up the child, and the little child opened its soft mouth and cried loudly.The cries were especially loud.

Master Liu laughed loudly, his excited voice echoing in the silent night sky, "Okay! Okay! This is my child! Look at how cute he is! Lao Hong, take a look!"

Steward Liu also had a happy expression on his face, and he leaned forward to take a look, and said in a low voice, "Young master's nose is really similar to the master's!"

The servants on the side were also very happy, and Liu's mansion had another son, which is really a great joy!

Amidst all the joy, a voice full of anger suddenly came from outside, "This son was born in a bad month, and he harmed his parents! Thunderstorms and rain, the sky is angry and the people are complaining! He did evil in the past life, and he is collecting debts in this life! He must be lonely and restrain his relatives, and he will not end well!"

As soon as these words came out, the courtyard was instantly quiet!Only the cries of young children intertwined with the muffled thunder in the sky.

Master Liu's face darkened instantly, and all the servants held their breaths and did not dare to speak.The midwife was trembling against the corner of the wall.

Steward Liu was furious, knowing that the Taoist priest deliberately took revenge!He immediately turned around and went to the gate, but saw that there was no one there, and the Taoist priest had long since disappeared!

The night wind howled, and the lantern on the door was still banging against the wall!The rain as thin as a cow's hair fluttered.

Master Liu was holding the infant child in his arms, with a sad and angry face on his face, the child was already tired from crying, and was sleeping soundly with his little mouth open.

Steward Liu walked over with an ugly face, if he had known this, he would have driven that evil way away!It actually gave him the opportunity to curse the young master like this!

"Master, that person has already left, I..." Butler Liu felt very guilty.

Master Liu only looked down at the pink and tender child. After a long time, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "This child will be named Yongchang, and I only hope that he will be happy and prosperous!"

Then he raised his head again, with a serious face, and said sharply: "You must not tell Madam what happened today! Anyone who leaks the news, will be kicked out of the house immediately!"

Everyone trembled and responded in unison.

Time flies, and the events of that night seem to have been forgotten by everyone!Liu Yongchang is also six years old!

"Young master, don't run away! Be careful not to fall!"

Liu Yongchang was dressed in a red brocade dress, and his chubby face was rosy, looking extremely cute!

He nimbly dodged a group of servants, and rushed forward with his chubby cheeks.Suddenly, a piece of pink covered his eyes in front of him, and Liu Yongchang slammed into a piece of powder, his nose was full of the familiar smell of powder!

Liu Yongchang's heart skipped a beat, he raised his face slightly, and saw a pair of watery eyes looking at him.The dangling steps on her head jingled, reflecting colorful light and shadows under the sunlight.

Liu Yongchang took a step back, lowered his head and said nothing, only his rosy lips were pouting, and one side of his cheek was bulging like a chubby doughnut.

The woman chuckled, her voice was gentle and serene, she squatted down, pulled out a white handkerchief from her waist, and gently wiped the fine sweat from Liu Yongchang's forehead.

"Why are you running! It's such a hot weather, take care of your body!"

The faint scent of face powder on the handkerchief penetrated into Liu Yong's nose, and he thought it smelled very good!He quietly shrugged the tip of his nose, suddenly felt his nose itchy, and sneezed out a big sneeze.

The woman didn't seem to have expected it either, she paused for a moment, and Liu Yongchang's small face instantly turned red as if it was about to bleed!

The woman burst out laughing, she rubbed Liu Yong's chubby face, and said, "Why are you so shy when you're so big! Tell mother, why are you running so fast?"

Liu Yongchang pouted, and said, "I'm going out to buy Susu cakes! Big brother eats them all, why don't I!"

Mrs. Liu's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and said, "What Susu Cake?"

Liu Yongchang didn't care about Liu Yongfeng's explanation, and just said aggrievedly: "Brother quietly went to Suji shop to buy Susu cake yesterday! I only ate one piece and it was gone. He ate it all by himself, so I want to eat it too!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu squeezed his face hard again, pretending to be angry and said, "Okay! You two dared to run out quietly, your wings have grown hard! Didn't I tell you that the outside was very chaotic these two days, it was all People from all walks of life, let you stay at home and study hard?"

Liu Yongchang was startled, knowing that he had slipped his tongue, he simply said coquettishly: "Mother, I also want to eat Susu cakes, you can accompany me to buy Susu cakes!"

As he spoke, he shook Mrs. Liu's sleeves, and if Mrs. Liu refused to agree to him, he would keep shaking like this.

Mrs. Liu had no choice but to respond: "Okay, okay! Let go, your mother's clothes will be torn by you!"

After hearing this, Liu Yongchang immediately jumped up and let out a cry of joy, his eyes narrowed into a slit, full of joy.

The street is crowded with people, traffic is busy, and all kinds of high and low cries are heard endlessly.

Mrs. Liu took Liu Yongchang's little hand, and under the protection of the servants of Liu's mansion, she came to Suji shop. Liu Yongchang stood on tiptoe and looked at it for a long time.Only then did I find the Susu cake my brother bought yesterday.

He happily held a box of pastries, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, the sweetness and softness smeared from the tip of his tongue.He couldn't help squinting his eyes, then he picked up another piece and brought it to Mrs. Liu's mouth: "Mother, you can eat it too! Susu cake is delicious!"

Madam Liu smiled, took the pastry and took a bite.

Seeing this, Liu Yongchang immediately said, "How is it? Isn't it delicious!"

Mrs. Liu smiled helplessly and said, "It's delicious!"

Liu Yongchang laughed immediately when he got the answer.

A carriage full of cargo came slowly ahead, and pedestrians gave way one after another.

The servants of the Liu residence protected Mrs. Liu and Liu Yongchang and retreated aside.Liu Yongchang backed away repeatedly with his arms around the food box, and suddenly heard an ouch in his ears.

Liu Yongchang looked up, and saw a monkey-cheeked face baring its teeth and yelling. He was holding a long and thin stick in his hand, with a piece of canvas hanging from the top, on which was written "Iron Mouth Broken" in black ink. big characters.

The Taoist saw a child in brocade clothes looking up at him, and saw a woman beside him in silk and satin, surrounded by several servants.As soon as he rolled his tiny eyes, he had an idea in his mind. He said, "Young master, don't you apologize for stepping on the foot of the poor? Could it be that your teacher didn't teach you benevolence and etiquette?"

Liu Yongchang blushed. Children of this age can't stand criticism from others. He raised his neck and said, "Of course my teacher taught me! But I don't know if I stepped on you or you deliberately blackmailed me! Don't you Apologize no matter what happens!"

"You!" The Taoist didn't expect this little child to be so sharp-tongued.He originally wanted to blame this young man on the young man, and asked his mother to pay a small gift, so that he could say a few more auspicious words and let it go!

Seeing this, the servants next to him rushed over and stopped the Taoist priest.

The Taoist was shaken by this push, took a few steps back, and was a little further away from Liu Yong. He looked around and saw someone looking back quietly.Immediately, the heat rose, and a wave of embarrassment lingered in the chest.

"Okay, okay! You really are a shameless villain, bullying me, a lonely Taoist priest, in broad daylight!" The Taoist priest pursed his lips angrily, and his protruding cheekbones became more abrupt.

Mrs. Liu hurried over, hugged Liu Yongchang's shoulders, and said: "This Taoist priest, it's all a misunderstanding! Don't be as knowledgeable as this child."

After hearing this, Liu Yongchang felt uncomfortable. How could he bear his mother's humiliation to a tattered Taoist priest? He clenched his fists and puffed his mouth and said, "You stinky Taoist priest, don't think I'm easy to bully when I urinate! I clearly didn't step on you! I can tell you! I am the second son of the Liu Mansion! If you are sensible, leave quickly! Otherwise, I will tell my father and let him teach you a lesson!"

Liu Yongchang squinted his eyes and pretended to be imposing, but his face like a pink dumpling couldn't bear a trace of domineering.

Mrs. Liu immediately covered Liu Yongchang's mouth, and scolded: "Yongchang, don't be rude!"

The Taoist grinned suddenly when he heard the words, and said sadly: "So it's the second son of the Liu Mansion! It's really a fate! When you were born six years ago, I approved a hang for you!"

The servants of Liu's mansion were shocked when they heard the words, even if they wanted to drag this stinky Taoist priest down, it's a pity that there were people coming and going on the street, so it was hard for them to do it, this hesitation, they missed the opportunity.

Mrs. Liu was surprised, she had never heard of it before, so she asked, "I don't know what the boss approved for the child?"

The Taoist chuckled and said, "When the Second Young Master Liu was born, there was lightning, thunder, and heavy wind and rain, which caused floods to flood into Zelin County in the northwest, causing heavy losses to the people! It was clearly a disaster! Now let me look at Second Young Master, Yintang is black, ears are pointed and nose is hanging, he is restrained from family and self, he is really a reincarnation of a debt collector!"

The Taoist squinted his eyes and laughed, his thin lips spoke cruel words.

Madam Liu suddenly widened her eyes and trembled all over, she scolded angrily: "Where did the wild Taoist come from, to speak evil words!"

Liu Yongchang didn't quite understand what the Taoist said, but he also knew it was not a good thing!He frowned tightly, jumping up and wanting to kick the Taoist.

The Taoist priest was nimble, and as soon as he finished speaking.He slid into the crowd like a loach, and soon disappeared, only a series of voices full of breath came from afar, "Pin Dao kindly advises Madam, if you don't stop, you will suffer! If you don't If the young master is sent away, disaster will surely strike the house, and the house will be destroyed by white sails!"

Mrs. Liu was trembling with anger, her face was pale.

This matter soon caught Master Liu's ears, and Master Liu was furious!He ordered people to trace the Taoist priest, but there was no news, so he had to give up.

Half a month later, it will be Mrs. Liu's father, Tong Gaofei's birthday.

Master Liu took Mrs. Liu, Liu Yongfeng, and Liu Yongchang to pay their respects.

Early this morning, the air was stuffy, and the bright white sun hung high in the sky, adding a bit of heat.

The outside room of the Tong's Mansion was full of guests, drinking wine and raising wine.

Panicked by the constant heat, Liu Yong climbed to the century-old tree in the backyard of the Tong Mansion to enjoy the shade.

This tree is very tall and lush, with luxuriant branches and leaves.The green leaves are crowded together, blocking the scorching sun.

Liu Yongchang sat on the wide tree fork, enjoying the coolness with his eyes closed.

But after a while, a servant called his name and wandered around the yard.

He closed his eyes and pretended not to know, and soon the servant left.

Liu Yongchang gradually became sleepy, half asleep and half awake, he heard his grandfather calling his name.

He opened his sleepy eyes and responded.

Tong Gaofei heard the voice and hurried over.Looking up, Liu Yongchang's legs were hanging in the air, and he was curled up among the tree forks.

He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Why did you come to this tree again, let your mother know that there is no good fruit!"

"Grandpa! I'm already asleep." Liu Yongchang rubbed his sore eyes, said lazily, and hugged the tree trunk to get down.

Tong Gaofei's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Don't move, just stay there, grandpa will call someone to come and hug you down!"

"No, I can come down by myself!" Liu Yongchang hugged the trunk.Carefully rubbing against the rough bark under his feet, he climbed down slowly.

Tong Gaofei stood under the tree with a nervous expression, staring closely at Liu Yongchang's movements.

Suddenly, Liu Yongchang's foot slipped, he exclaimed, and felt his whole body fall down.The feeling of weightlessness made his heart almost fly out.

With a bang, Liu Yongchang stopped falling, a piece of skin was rubbed off his arm, and the pain was burning.

"Grandpa, how are you?" Liu Yongchang quickly found Tong Gaofei under him.

Tong Gaofei wrinkled his face, and cold sweat dripped down his face. Seeing Liu Yongchang's little face was full of panic, he had to suppress the pain in his leg and said, "It's okay. Yongchang, grandpa is fine, don't worry! You go Someone was called outside, but grandpa couldn’t move his legs anymore.”

Liu Yongchang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Grandpa, wait here, I'll call someone over right away."

Tong Gaofei broke his leg. After Doctor Fang came to bandage him, he told him not to walk for two months.

Liu Yongchang looked at the thick white cloth on Tong Gaofei's legs, feeling very guilty.He stood by the bed, tears streaming down his face.

Seeing this, Tong Gaofei smiled, "We Yongchang are still crybabys at this age, and we will make people laugh if we say it!"

Liu Yongchang touched his tears, choked up and said: "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I will never climb trees again, get better soon!"

Tong Gaofei laughed loudly and said: "This is really strange. I have said it a thousand times and refused to listen, but now I take the initiative to say that I will not climb trees. It seems that my leg is hurting well!"

Mrs. Liu stood aside and said helplessly, "Father, just spoil him! You must spoil him to the point of lawlessness!"

In the evening, Mrs. Liu and the others left Tong's Mansion.

The distance between the two families was only an hour, and the summer night came late, and when they arrived at the Liu Mansion, the sky had not yet completely darkened.

As soon as Mrs. Liu and the others arrived home, raindrops fell from their back feet.

The crackling rain came fiercely, as if it was going to drown the whole earth.

The rain did not stop until midnight, but the lightning and thunder did not stop.

The golden thunder and lightning like a long snake split the sky and shot to the ground.

Almost lit up half the sky.

The thunder was rolling, as if the whole earth was shaking.

The old tree in the backyard of the Tong Mansion was still standing there, and suddenly a bolt of lightning struck down, reflecting a long line of light and shadow on the courtyard wall.

The old tree was split open suddenly, a burst of sparks shot out, and the fire suddenly ignited from the split branches.

The wind whizzed past, and soon, a burst of sparks flew away with the wind, and the fire snake swept across the entire backyard.

When the sleeping person woke up from his dream, the fire had engulfed the entire courtyard.

The shrill screams were drowned in the night along with the thunder, the flames almost illuminated half of the sky, and the thick smoke rolled and wrapped into the night sky.Merge with the dark clouds.

On the second day, the rising sun was bright red, and the light shone on the wet earth. Soon, the water droplets on the branches and leaves in the forest evaporated.

A group of people rushed into Liu's mansion in a hurry, and brought a shocking news!

The big tree in the backyard of Tong's Mansion was struck by lightning and caught fire in the middle of the night, killing Mr. Tong and Mrs. Tong.

Mrs. Liu fell to the ground on the spot, weeping bitterly.

Liu Yongchang stood aside, his face full of panic, his whole body was stiff, and his limbs were cold.He didn't understand that yesterday was fine, everyone was talking and laughing together, why did they say today that they would never see grandpa again?

The person who reported the letter also had a look of unbearable, he said: "Hey, it's God's will to trick people! For some reason, the lightning struck the big tree, and it started a fire. I heard that one of the Tongfu escaped The servant who came out said that Mr. Tong could have escaped originally, but his leg was broken somehow, Madam Tong couldn't carry him. Both of them were trapped in the fire."

Liu Yongchang's body froze suddenly, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, spreading to his limbs in an instant.

Mrs. Liu fell on the chair, weeping bitterly, her hair was disheveled, and her pearl hairpin was askew.

Hearing these words, she suddenly opened a pair of red eyes, locked on Liu Yongchang's stiff body.

She jumped up from the chair suddenly, and threw herself at Liu Yongchang who was standing beside her. The makeup on her face was completely melted, and her facial features were ferocious, like a terrifying evil ghost.

She pinched Liu Yongchang's neck fiercely, and said sadly: "It's you! You killed them! Why! Why! That Taoist is right, you debt collector! Give my parents back their lives!"

Liu Yongchang felt suffocated for a while, his neck was swollen and painful, and circles of black and white light spots appeared in front of his eyes.The servants next to him were terrified and desperately stepped forward to separate the two.

His brain was in chaos, and the surrounding sounds seemed to be covered by a mask. He stared blankly at Mrs. Liu with a ferocious face, as if he didn't know her.

The people around finally pulled Mrs. Liu away, and Liu Yong took a long breath, holding his swollen neck and coughing continuously.Master Liu picked him up, gently rubbed his black neck, and kept comforting him.

But he couldn't hear anything clearly, he just stared blankly at Mrs. Liu who was lying on the ground, she was crying terribly, the pearl hairpin fell to the ground, all her hair fell out, she looked like a madman.

He thought, this is not his mother, mother is not like this.

Madam Liu wailed and passed out.The servants at the side stepped forward to help her up and sent her to the backyard.

A snow-white and soft brocade handkerchief fell to the ground.

Liu Yongchang staggered over and picked up the handkerchief, which still exuded a faint powder fragrance, so familiar and so reassuring.

His tears rolled down quickly, and each teardrop fell on the snow-white brocade handkerchief, leaving dark marks one by one.

"Catastrophe is imminent, and the white sail will destroy the house!"

Is this the case?
