Chapter 19 Chapter Seventeen

On a sunny day in March, the plain gauze curtains on the windows fluttered in the gentle breeze, like light clouds blowing across the face. Tong Shi was bored, and with the luck of his dantian, he kept blowing the curtain and changing the direction it fluttered, as if he was playing with the spring breeze. Li Qichen was still in the medicated bath, the steaming water made his cheeks blush, and the tip of his nose and forehead were covered with tiny beads of sweat.Perhaps because of the heat, his clothes were left open, and the neckline was pulled back, revealing a slender neck, as white as jade, with a finger-thick shallow scab stretching across his neck, like a blemish on jade.

Yan Wei sat in front of the desk, immersed in her reading, completely ignoring what happened around her.The piles of bamboo slips, spread out and rolled up, filled the entire desk, and they were those medical books. Tong Li casually picked up a volume of medical books, unfolded it, read it twice, put it back again, and said, "What's so good about this book, it's really boring!" Yan Wei smiled and said: "You don't understand, of course you don't think it's interesting, if you have nothing to do, you might as well get some hot water." Tong Shui jumped up, hopped to the door, opened the door and said to a servant standing outside: "Brother, can you boil some hot water?" As he spoke, he pinched the servant's chest narrowly.

The servant was only seventeen or eighteen years old, his face blushed immediately, he answered "yes" in a low voice, turned his head and left. Seeing him like this, Tong Shu found it even more interesting, waved his hands and said artificially: "Go and come back quickly! Don't make me wait anxiously!" Another servant by the door couldn't help but burst out laughing. He stared at him, then straightened his face again, pretending to be nonchalant. Tong Shu moved his face close to his, and said seriously, "Brother! Let's go, let's play!" The servant was startled and waved his hands again and again.

Tong Shui laughed, turned and entered the room, and closed the door behind him. Li Qichen frowned and said in a low voice, "Was there someone guarding the door before?" Tong Shu also suppressed his smile and said, "I just started having it yesterday..." Li Qichen said: "In your opinion, what's going on?" Tong Shu shook his head and said, "I don't know..." Yan Wei interjected: "Anyway, just hope that the summer solstice will be safe and sound, and your leg will be completely healed. The medicinal materials here are all high-quality, and the solar terms are also suitable. It is our good fortune to be able to heal your wounds here."

Li Qichen and Tong Shui looked at each other and shook their heads slightly at the same time. After a while, the servant came in carrying a bucket of hot water, followed by Mr. Kandui. He walked up to Yan Wei with a smile and asked, "Do you need to transcribe with pen and ink? If you are not used to using bamboo slips, I will There are also fine silks there." Yan Wei raised her head and said, "No need, I just want to look up some more books and find out the cure on my father's piece of silk." Mr. Kandui said: "Actually, you don't have to be so concerned, life and death are fate, you can't force it..."

Yan Wei said: "It's right to do your best first, and then listen to the destiny. You can't just admit defeat without a fight, right?" As she spoke, she reached out to catch Mr. Kandui's pulse, "I see that your complexion is very bad. , Is there something uncomfortable?" When she said this, Li and Tong also looked at Mr. Kandui, only to see that his face seemed to be covered with a layer of greenness, and his lips were also pale, let alone a doctor, even ordinary people can see it He is unwell. But Mr. Kandui drew back his hand as if he had been stung, and said, "I'm fine." After speaking, he turned around and lay down on the bed, breathing heavily, without saying a word, which was quite different from his usual gentle and elegant demeanor.

Yan Wei felt that something was wrong, got up and walked over to get pulse again, but was pushed away by Mr. Kandui. Seeing that Yan Wei was pushed staggeringly, Tong Shui couldn't help being furious. He was about to explode when he saw Mr. Kandui's face turned greener, his lips were so pale that they were bloodless, his whole body began to tremble involuntarily, and his limbs began to contract and stiffen.Tong Shui had never seen such a scene before, and he was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.It wasn't until Yan Wei called out: "Come and help!" He didn't react, and helped Yan Wei to make Mr. Kandui lie flat on the bed.

At this time, Mr. Kandui was sweating all over, curled up like a bow, his eyes were blurred, and his mind seemed to be unconscious.The two forearms were tightly pressed together as if they were being shackled, and they were held up in front of the chest. Both hands were clenched into fists and pressed against the throat. The pulse door was completely blocked. Yan Wei tried hard to break it, but could not.Tong Shui also went to help, but he couldn't separate his hands. Yan Wei felt the pulse of Mr. Kandui's neck, touched the sweat on his forehead with her index finger, rubbed it with her middle finger a few times, and sniffed it with her nose, then stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked it. for a moment.Li Qichen was in a hurry: "Don't—" He stretched out his hand to block it, his body lost his balance, and he almost overturned the bathtub.

Yan Wei looked at Li Qichen in bewilderment, and suddenly understood why he was so anxious, and said softly: "Even if his body is poisonous, the sweat may not be poisonous, even if the sweat is poisonous, it's okay to lick it, you don't need to lick it." Hurry up like this." Li Qichen shouted: "Come on!" The servants outside responded to the sound, there were as many as seven or eight people.These people seem to have been used to this scene for a long time, they hurriedly hugged several brocade quilts and piled them on Mr. Kandui.He took out another piece of Baisu to tie Mr. Kandui and the bed together.

Yan Wei was shocked: "What are you doing?" Among the servants, an older man replied: "He suffers from this disease often, and he will make a lot of trouble later on, or he will violently hurt others. This is the only way. After this hour, it will be fine." gone." Yan Wei didn't know what to do, she could only watch them do it. I saw that Mr. Kandui's eyes seemed to be opened, and he tried his best to raise his head. There was a trace of sadness and helplessness in his eyes, which was moving. After only being quiet for a moment, Mr. Kandui shook violently again, making hooting noises, as if he was suffering great pain, and seemed to be restraining himself strongly.I saw that he was shaking more and more, and even the light bed under him was also shaking, hitting the floor, making a loud noise, as if it was about to fall apart.

Seeing this scene, Yan Wei hurriedly took out a Bianstone, burned the head of the Bianstone on the lamp beside her, lightly dipped a little lamp oil on it, tested the temperature with her fingers, removed Mr. Kandui's shoes and socks, and turned to the Pierce the Yongquan acupoint on the center of the sole of the foot.I saw Mr. Kandui's whole body twitching for a while, and then the shaking seemed to ease down.Seeing the effect, Yan Wei did the same on the other foot. Mr. Kandui no longer trembled violently, only his whole body was still trembling slightly, convulsing like a dead leaf in the wind, and the tightly held arms seemed to relax. Yan Wei lifted a corner of the brocade quilt, felt Mr. Kandui's pulse, and said to the servants, "Untie him." Several servants looked at each other, but no one moved. Li Qichen said in a deep voice: "Untie it, it's okay." The older servant nodded and winked, and the rest of the servants started to work around. Yan Wei said again: "Undo his clothes too." Mr. Kandui's thin chest was exposed, his skin was slightly bluish white, his ribs were clearly defined, and his skin was covered with bead-sized beads of sweat. A red string was hanging around his neck, which must have been used to wear jade. The jade has fallen to the back of the neck. Yan Wei changed to a pair of smaller needle stones, soaked them in hot water for a while, and touched a dozen acupuncture points on Mr. Kandui's chest with his hands like butterflies wearing flowers. Mr. Kandui groaned and spread his arms to the left and right. , rolled his eyes, and passed out. The older servant was in a hurry and shouted: "What are you doing?!" He reached out to grab Yan Wei's shoulder, pulling Yan Wei staggeringly, almost falling down. Tong Shuu hurriedly hugged Yan Wei, then stretched out his arms, his fingers were like eagle claws, he grabbed the old servant by the throat, and shouted: "Stop!" Seeing that the situation was imminent, Li Qichen hurriedly shouted: "Don't do anything!" The servants were taken aback for a moment, and Tong Shui also lowered his hands slowly. Yan Wei took the pulse of Mr. Kandui on her own, and turned her head after a while and said: "He's fine, if you don't believe me, feel for yourself." The elder servant felt for Mr. Kandui's pulse as he said, but he seemed to be futile, so he put his finger on Mr. Kandui's nose and tried it. He rolled Mr. Kandui's eyelids, and then he felt relieved. Yan Wei said softly: "Put the quilt on him, and keep warm." This time, without waiting for the elder servant's order, several people hurriedly took the quilt and covered Mr. Kandui tightly. All the other servants withdrew, only the elder servant knelt beside the bed with his head down, as if he was going to watch over Mr. Kandui and wait for him to wake up. With him here, the three of them would remain silent. The water for bathing his feet gradually became cold, Li Qichen dried his legs by himself.According to the previous procedure, it was time for Yan Wei to give Li Qichen acupuncture treatment.But at this moment, Yan Wei only stared at the three used meteorites, and ignored Li Qichen. Tong Shu also leaned over to look, and saw that the three meteorites were slightly dark, and there was nothing special about them.Because it was wet with water, oil, and sweat, this is normal, and the same is true for the meteorites that were treated by Li Qichen in the past. Yan Wei glanced at Tong Shui, but didn't say anything, put away the three Bianstones, replaced a Bianstone, put it on the lamp and burned it for a long time, took out a can of boiled concoction, soaked it, and asked Li Qichen The acupuncture points on the legs were pierced. It must have been because the needle stone was extremely hot, or the pressure of the acupuncture point reached the lesion, Li Qichen couldn't help moaning. Yan Wei said with a smile: "If it hurts, it doesn't work. If it's normal, it doesn't hurt. When you don't feel the pain, the disease will be cured." As she spoke, she kept tapping quickly with her hands, on Li Qichen's injured leg Leaving a series of needle-piercing red marks. The elder servant also raised his head, staring dumbfounded. Sure enough, after an hour, Mr. Kandui woke up. It seemed that there was no pain in his body, and he had returned to his usual unrestrained appearance. He said to the servant in a deep voice: "Hurry up and change my clothes." The servant took hot water, wiped Mr. Kandui's body with a cloth towel dipped in water, and took clean clothes to change into. From the beginning to the end, Mr. Kandui stretched his arms and let him serve him, pursing his mouth and not saying a word. A word. After the clothes were put on, the servant arranged the crown and bun for Mr. Kandui, and it happened to be the jade pendant... After just looking at it, Yan Wei felt that the jade pendant was very familiar. After the servant withdrew, Mr. Kandui straightened his clothes again, bowed slightly and said, "I'll make the three of you laugh." Yan Wei frowned and asked, "Is this what happened when you had a cold attack?" Mr. Kandui nodded. "How often?" Yan Wei asked. "Not necessarily, it can be two or three months long, or half a month short." Mr. Kandui replied. Yan Wei took out the three meteorites again, put them side by side with the one used by Li Qichen just now, and said, "It's probably poison, not a disease." As he spoke, he handed over the Bianshi and motioned Mr. Kandui to smell it for himself. Mr. Kandui brought the meteorite to his nose, sniffed each of them, and shook his head in confusion. Tong Shu snatched it and sniffed it carefully, and said, "These three pieces have a strange fishy smell." Yan Wei nodded and said, "Exactly." Mr. Kandui nodded, as if he had accepted the fact, he was not shocked, and asked: "If it is cold poison, is your father's method curable?" Yan Wei said: "Disease is poison, and poison is disease. No matter what the source of the disease is, the medicine is the same." Mr. Kandui smiled: "That's good, I finally have some hope..." Yan Wei opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak in the end.After a while, he smiled lightly and said, "May I have a look at the jade on your neck?" Mr. Kandui raised his palm and caressed his neck, he seemed a little nervous, and asked, "What are you going to do?" Yan Wei smiled, stretched out her hand to untie the "Double Dragon Transformation Fish Pendant" from her neck, held it in her palm, and said, "I just think it's very similar."
