Chapter 40 Moshang Flower Medicine

Just as Chen Yuan stepped onto the shore, he heard the boy who punted the boat calling her in a low voice. "This..." The young man took out a green bamboo basket from the cabin, "Mother said, thank Dr. Shen and—— and Miss Chen." The bamboo basket was wet.The young man was afraid that Chen Yuan would be dirty and refused to take it. He didn't want to hand it over, and he didn't want to hand it over. He just held it in his hand, blushing. Chen Yuan was also a little nervous, quickly took the basket, and said with a smile: "Then thank you for your mother's trouble,—how can you be so polite?"

The young man seemed relieved, and while muttering the polite manners taught by adults, he hurriedly sailed away.On the Dongting Lake where the autumn wind is curling, there is a trace of faint water splashes. Chen Yuan lowered his head, and saw that there were sparkling things in the bamboo basket. It turned out that most of the basket was fresh and lively lake shrimp. Outside the green screen window, bamboo shadows whirled, Shen Xuan, the owner of the Three Drunken Palace, was buried in the "Self-narrative Post".Chen Yuan didn't dare to be negligent, and carefully reported every word about the situation of today's visit.Shen Xuan, however, seemed to be absent-minded, and after a long while he said: "Add a blindness of blood to see sorrow?"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that he was asking that old Wu who vomited.For patients like this who have been bedridden for a long time, this medicine should not be used at all. I am afraid that once a blood clot clots in the lungs, it may be life-threatening. "But he hasn't stopped vomiting blood for two days. I'm afraid something will happen if he doesn't have to worry about the blood. I have told his family that when he stops vomiting blood, he should stop taking the medicine as soon as possible." The brush stayed on the paper for a while. "That's the only way." Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.

This affirmed Chen Yuan's decision, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Suddenly, a flower was planted on the desk, but it was a budding white hibiscus. "How many patients did Xiaoyuan see today?" Shen Xuan raised his head and asked. "Five." "Well, five. We have four more patients to see.—I'll go to-morrow, and you stay home." "Hmm—" Chen Yuan was a little speechless. The autumn wind blows, white clouds grow, and a slight coolness seeps into the bosom.Tomorrow is Bailu Festival, right? In Chen Yuan's eyes, his uncle Shen Xuan was always an indifferent shadow.Watch him tap the long clapper in the Langyin Pavilion, watch him dangling in the bamboo forest with a poem scroll in his hands, watch him ecstatically looking at the clear water and long sky.Uncle is a famous doctor in the Huxiang area. People in the Jianghu are called Nanshen Beini, and Nanshen refers to uncle.Five years ago, my mother went all the way to send Chen Yuan from Tonglu to the Sanzui Palace in Junshan, hoping that Chen Yuan would study hard and pass on the Shen family's peerless medical skills.

My uncle has no family, but has two apprentices.There is also a adopted daughter, Xiao Xie, who has been close to Chen Yuan since childhood.In fact, Chen Yuan's girl's family doesn't like to study medicine, but she can't resist her mother's wishes, so she comes here.With Xiao Xie as a company, I am not afraid of hard times.Who would have thought that after entering the Sanzui Palace, Xiao Xie had already left and was studying with the heroine Xu Danying in Mount Lu, and even those two senior brothers were not often on Mount Jun. In such a cold place, Chen Yuan could only swallow his anger.

When he was visiting the teacher that day, Shen Xuan was still writing prescriptions for the patient.He just turned sideways, glanced casually at Chen Yuan, and said nothing more.Chen Yuan remembered his uncle, who hugged him when he was a child.Can a famous doctor be so cold?In front of my mother, I held back and refused to say how wronged I was. Uncle gave her a lot of books and told her to read them all by herself, within a year.That year, Chen Yuan did not sleep before the fourth watch.A head of thick black hair, which was as thick as a cloud, had fallen a lot.In the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Xie came back from Mount Lu to celebrate the New Year, and the children gathered together.Chen Yuan saw that Xiao Xie's face was like a lotus flower, and his eyes were as happy as swallows in spring, and he had mixed feelings for a moment.

——What are you thinking, Chen Yuan's hand trembled, and he almost wrote half a lotus as a seven-leaf and a flower.Uncle is very strict and checks from time to time, and no alterations are allowed.Otherwise, not to mention a lesson, rewriting is certain.After writing for so many years, it is actually easy to grasp, without thinking.It's just today, such a distracted mind. Outside the window, the Sanzui Palace is huge and empty.There is only a kind of medicinal fragrance that cannot be washed off my uncle's clothes, lingering in the light as light as water.The days are so quiet, it almost wears out the human mind.

Chen Yuan stretched out his arm.The hanzi is sold out, and the white hibiscus blooms again, one by one, like clouds in the sky. The lake was filled with smoke, and Shen Xuan's boat slowly disappeared into the depths of the smoke.Chen Yuan couldn't help but smiled slightly.Today she woke up early, packed the medicine box for her uncle, and walked gently to the back mountain.In the mottled bamboo branches all over the mountain, fresh dew hangs drop by drop. It is cold to the bone, with the fragrance of bamboo leaves, which is very good. "Doctor Shen—is Dr. Shen here—" Before the fog on the lake cleared, people came to seek medical treatment.

The old lady of Yueyang Xiong's family suffered another heartache.But the one who came was not the well-known housekeeper Hu, who claimed to be surnamed Xu, with a very strange face.When the family surnamed Xu saw only the female disciple of Divine Doctor Shen present, their faces suddenly became ugly. Chen Yuan just pretended not to see him, and before the family surnamed Xu could open his mouth, he told the old lady of Xiong's family about his illness before asking Xu what happened this time.The person surnamed Xu was immediately stunned, but he hesitated and couldn't speak.Chen Yuan expected that the old lady was fine, she still prescribed a prescription and sent him away.In fact, what is heartache? Many people have it.Although it is impossible to cure it, just follow the old prescription and take care of it slowly, so why bother to seek medical treatment.The Xiong family is always rich, and their lives are more expensive.

After sending the patient away, Chen Yuan silently pinched a hibiscus flower.With ten pointed fingers, pick out the light and glistening white stamens inside. This is now, and Chen Yuan is about to leave his teacher.In the early years, Shen Xuan didn't let Chen Yuan take care of such a simple problem as heartache.It is said that he just finished his studies on paper, and just started it like this, wouldn't he be joking about the patient's life.So just ask her to watch from the sidelines. Chen Yuan studied very hard, and he was quite unwilling at that time.Every day, I followed my uncle, going in and out, carrying plates and scissors, and endlessly copying prescriptions for my uncle.Very trivial things, often busy until dark.It's also because Shen Xuan's medical skills are too famous, and there are patients who come from Qiongzhou Island all the way, waiting in line for the genius doctor to take a look, and if they can't be cured, they will admit to death.Among the patients, there are certainly many rich people, but more poor people.Shen Xuan never treats everyone equally.Wealthy people don't refuse anyone who gives gold or silver.For example, at the Xiong's house, a silk merchant in Yueyang, after a year, the consultation fee alone is 800 taels of silver.There are some poor people, but even the travel expenses are patched together. Shen Xuan looked at it carefully, and asked Chen Yuan to pack the medicine and send it, and never mentioned the money matter.

There are also quite a few, with knives and swords, who have suffered strange injuries, and they are all people from the world.In fact, the Dongting Shen family was originally a famous family in the Jiangnan martial arts. The dying pistils of the white hibiscus float on the cool dew at the Bailu Festival. Just like this, Chen Yuan was convinced within a few days.Sure enough, there were still many things she didn't understand at all.Sometimes my uncle would ask her something out of the blue.At that time, Chen Yuan was nervous and choked so hard that he couldn't say a word.Uncle didn't seem to care, and told her to turn around and turn the pages by herself.Sometimes when the interest came, he would also explain medical principles to her, and Chen Yuan listened and took notes with his ears pricked up.Uncle likes to pace while talking, and the clothes with a faint medicinal fragrance are dangling in front of Chen Yuan's eyes. From a small locked drawer at the top of the chest of drawers, Chen Yuan dug out some dried and old flower stamens, took them out, threw them into the water, and watched them sink to the bottom.It's like holding such a dangling clear water in my heart. Repeating the same work every day, at that time Chen Yuan felt that life was so dull that there was no end to it.Later, Shen Xuan saw that she was gradually proficient, and began to send her out, taking a small boat to the surrounding villages, delivering medicines one by one, and asking the patients about their conditions.Until the unforgettable day three years ago, just as Chen Yuan came back, he suddenly bumped into a man in a gray gown sitting in the hall. Chen Yuan immediately withdrew.She saw an old-style sword on the man's waist, and more importantly, the strange atmosphere in the hall.Chen Yuan has also stayed in the Sanzui Palace for a long time, and knows which situations to avoid. Shen Xuan's martial arts are very good.He seldom did anything, but everyone in the Jianghu knew that if the miracle doctor of the Three Zui Palace did something, no one would be able to take advantage of it.Like Xiao Xie, and Ji Li and the others, worshiped Shen Xuan as their master, learned a whole body of martial arts, and each made a name for himself in the world.But Chen Yuan was born with poor aptitude, so he didn't learn anything.Shen Xuan said lightly, that's also very good, what are you doing learning martial arts, Jiang Hu, hum. I can't guess what my uncle didn't say.The rivers and lakes are sinister?Chen Yuan always felt that it was just because she was too stupid.Even the only medical skill she has studied makes her panic from time to time.She is not as amazing as Xiao Xie, so Xiao Xie has become a heroine, and she has no choice but to be a doctor, and I'm afraid she can't even be a doctor. She turned away and got behind the screen. Jianghu, you can only watch from a distance. However, those words still reached my ears.The man's voice was still young, but he seemed to be out of breath, let alone begging for help.He was very anxious and spoke faster and faster.But my uncle was calm, not in a hurry, he just refused, and he didn't seem to give in at all.The man said, don't tell me you have no responsibility at all, Dr. Shen? Could it be that you can just refuse to save him?Uncle said that he couldn't save you in the first place, as long as you keep it quietly, that's all. I can't make you use force at all.As they talked, they started arguing. "I don't ask much—" The man suddenly raised his voice, but stopped suddenly, as if choking. Chen Yuan couldn't help but stop the pen in his hand, and poked his head to look. Unexpectedly, that person happened to be looking in this direction, and his eyes met, so sharp. Chen Yuan quickly lowered his head, but he clearly heard it. "Then ask your disciples to act." Chen Yuan's mind went blank.It's okay, it's okay, uncle will explain it to him.However, Shen Xuan didn't say anything, and waited for her to speak. I had no choice but to come out from behind the screen and give a blessing to the people.Chen Yuan opened his mouth, wanting to say: "It's just an apprentice. No one has ever seen a doctor." The man just stood in front of her, looking earnestly at Chen Yuan.The gray cloth long gown was straightened out, and the color of her eyebrows was as pale as a lone cloud in the sky. What Chen Yuan said was: "Yes, I will try my best to treat your illness." The man clapped his hands and laughed. I thought my uncle would be angry.However, Shen Xuan smiled slightly, and only said: "You need to worry about that, Xiao Yuan." Ge Qing, he is suffering from heart disease.As soon as Chen Yuan's three fingers touched his wrist, he found that it was throbbing violently.Chen Yuan had never seen such a serious patient before, he looked up in surprise, but saw the faint expression on his face, he knew it already. "Mr. Ni has seen it." Chen Yuan suddenly understood why his uncle refused to treat him.Youzhou Ni Chao is a master at treating heart disease, Shen Xuan naturally knows how tricky it is for patients who even gave up on him.Famous doctors have their own ideas.It was Chen Yuan who asked her to take him over.This kind of disease comes from the womb, and it can never be cured, but it will be nurtured slowly. She couldn't help but look at Ge Qing again.Still a distant smile: "I've been sick for most of my life, and I know it myself. It's just that it's impossible not to practice martial arts. Please think of a way, girl, and give me more time." Chen Yuan has seen many tragic scenes.But still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. "How long?" Ge Qing's voice was more kind: "Three years." He only needs three years, shouldn't it be too difficult? But Chen Yuan was not sure.I was used to seeing my uncle treat illnesses, and when it was my turn, I was in a hurry. I first prescribed a commonly used prescription, and then ran back to the house to check the books to see if there was any panacea that could prove it. Ge Qing didn't stay in Sanzui Palace, but bought a boat and moored behind Dongting Junshan.That night Chen Yuan was still flipping through the book, when Cangtou from the Ge family came and said that the young master was ill again, and the doctor should go and see him soon.Chen Yuan put on his clothes and went to look, only to see Ge Qing's face was bruised, foaming at the mouth, panting non-stop, and couldn't even lie down.This is a fatal attack, and nine times out of ten it cannot be saved.Chen Yuan asked Cangtou to call Shen Xuan, but Shen Xuan didn't come.Chen Yuan had been busy all night by himself, finally saw that Ge Qing had calmed down, and went back to sleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was the evening of the next day.Chen Yuan screamed that it was not good, so he hurriedly ran to the boat to see how Ge Qing was doing. There was no one in the bedroom. Chen Yuan's heart was suddenly emptied, and he stared at the plainly furnished cabin, as if he saw nothing. Where is the sound of the flute? Clear and lively, like crystal spring snow. Chen Yuan quietly walked around to the stern of the boat, and saw Ge Qing wearing a gray robe, the golden sunset was shattered by the lake water, reflecting the sharp-edged face, which was extremely vivid.It's great to be able to play the flute.Chen Yuan didn't dare to disturb his interest, so he listened silently for a while, and walked away quietly by himself. , Such a happy tone, it doesn't look like someone who is seriously ill!Chen Yuan thought, and couldn't help looking back.In the shadow of the setting sun, the water was glistening, and the figure looked quite unreal.Turning around for a while, he met Shen Xuan's eyes that were staring at him in thought.Chen Yuan panicked, before he could say anything, he lowered his head and slipped away. At night, I lost my mind to read.I opened the dowry box and found the Guqin in my uncle's collection, and tuned it string by string.Shen Xuan can play the piano, so can Xiao Xie, but Chen Yuan doesn't learn much.A song, flicking back and forth is like glue on the fingertips, which cannot be melted away.So he thought about Ge Qing, whether he fell asleep on the lake or in the boat.People from the rivers and lakes who dance knives and swords play the flute with such fun. Such a person only intends to take three years of life.Moreover, even if it is three years, I may not be able to give it to him! The petals of the white hibiscus were scattered in Xianxian's hands, like a doomed ghost. At that time, Ge Qing was already in his thirties.In the one or two years after he left, a guest often came to Sanzui Palace, Ouyang Mijian, the head of the Ouyang family, was Ge Qing's junior, and he once told Chen Yuan about this senior. Ouyang Mijian originally came for Xiao Xie.Xiao Xie returned to her family to recognize her ancestor, she was originally the little cousin of the Ouyang family.But she likes to run around, and when Ouyang Mijian comes over, he often misses her.Shen Xuan and Mr. Ouyang didn't agree with each other, but only Chen Yuan greeted him.They come and go again and again, but they are familiar with Chen Yuan. "My surname is Ouyang, and my name is Mijian." Knowing the name of the Ouyang family earlier, Chen Yuan was slightly surprised. The man smiled: "If the girl finds it hard to remember, just think about preserved fruits or something." Chen Yuan couldn't help laughing.She knew that the head of the Ouyang family was a mature young man with a great reputation and a man who did great things.People who do great things are generally kind to children. His Senior Brother Ge Qing was also like this in the past, right? It's just that Ge Qing, who fell into the hands of the doctor Chen Yuan, was already at the end of his life.Even Chen Yuan, who is ignorant of the world, can see this.He stayed next to the Three Drunken Palaces, firstly to heal his illness, and secondly to avoid the capture and killing of the enemy.Although Shen Xuan said he didn't care, but no one really dared to move a sword on the side of Junshan.In this way, Ge Qing can finally cultivate for a while. What's more, he only wants three years of life. "Even I haven't seen him. It's just that when he was studying in Tianchi, Master Huiming often mentioned it, so he was very impressed." Mr. Ouyang still had a face full of admiration when he talked about this senior brother, "One year, Master traveled to Chang'an to pick it up. I don’t know whose family’s child was born sick and was thrown into a gutter behind Shengyefang—maybe the mother was a prostitute. She only wore a tattered Gebu cloth, so she was named Ge. Master Seeing that he is weak, I just wanted to stay by my side and be a little boy. Unexpectedly, the elder brother is a very strong and resolute person. When he was twelve years old, he killed the famous horse thief leader in the Tianshan Mountains with his bare hands, the jade-faced red fox. Only then did the master know that he secretly learned a lot of martial arts. Later, the master simply taught him formally. The senior brother worked very hard, and he became a teacher at the age of eighteen. He was obviously the first person in the Tianshan sect. "The later story is familiar to many people. The brother, one person and one sword, visited the five famous mountains and eighteen sects, challenged the masters from all walks of life, and won the title of undefeated sword god. Everyone in the rivers and lakes admired him. He and Lushan Mountain When the real Lu Danxin made an appointment to fight, hehe, Xiaoyuan, you can’t imagine how grand it was. One is a rising star who has shown his sharpness, and the other is Taishan Beidou with a long history. Almost all the elites of the Central Plains martial arts came and refused to miss it. It was a good show. A Poyang Lake was full of boats. But later, Master Lu did not show up." "Is Master Lu afraid?" Chen Yuan asked. Ouyang Mijian shook his head: "I don't know. Since Lushan refused to fight, my senior brother won naturally. At that time, many people followed him. When the senior brother was happy, he simply set up a 'White Dragon Gang' and became the leader himself." Chen Yuan's heart trembled.She knew about the "White Dragon Gang".Liu Yang, who runs a hotel by the Yuanjiang River, had his left leg chopped off by members of the "Bailong Gang", and he is still wearing the prosthetic limb fitted by Shen Xuan.And - it's all about trivial matters.People in the Huxiang area still think it is a nightmare when they talk about the group of villains. Seeing the unnatural expression on her face, Ouyang Mijian said: "Brother was young and energetic at that time, and he didn't know how to restrain his brothers. He thought that as long as he was good at martial arts, it would be all right. In fact, this is not a long-term solution." Chen Yuan forced a smile.As young heroes, Ouyang Mijian and Ge Qing are still different.Ouyang was born in a famous family with a strong family background, and he himself is a sophisticated and well-off man.As for Ge Qing, Ge Qing is a firecracker in the first month of the lunar year. It is so vigorous and deafening that you dare not look directly at it.But when I opened my eyes again, the smoke and fire cleared up, but there was nothing left. As a result, when people mentioned the young hero Ge Qing, they dismissed him as a short-lived figure. "My uncle," Chen Yuan asked suddenly, "have you ever competed with Ge Qing in martial arts? The two of them—who is better than whom?" Ouyang Mijian smiled: "Your uncle is a person who hides his secrets, how could he fight against others so easily." Chen Yuan felt that Ouyang Mijian's smile seemed to imply something, but he didn't dare to ask. Before his uncle came back, he sent away some patients, and Chen Yuan began to crush the pure white hibiscus stamens again.It was almost noon. During those days when Ge Qing lived on the lake, he behaved very calmly.Play the flute and read books every day.How did Chen Yuan think that he was such a powerful character before.Following my uncle's rules, I went to see him once in the morning and in the evening, and asked if I slept well, if I ate well, and if there was anything uncomfortable recently.After all, Chen Yuan was a girl who grew up in a boudoir, so she was not used to showing her face like this.Sometimes it's just so embarrassing, looking for something to say, very embarrassing.Ge Qing was not as eloquent as the later Ouyang Mijian, and sometimes he ran out of words and just remained silent and embarrassed.So he played the flute again.Chen Yuan resigned with a sigh of relief. Suddenly the sound of the flute stopped behind him.Inevitably, Chen Yuan was startled again. "Miss Chen," Ge Qing asked leisurely, "my illness is really hopeless." "Where, of course it's cured, don't worry." Chen Yuan only dared to speak vaguely. Don't think she doesn't do her best.These days, Chen Yuan almost revisited everything he had learned.There were some questions I didn't understand, and I didn't dare to ask my uncle directly, so I had to "bring it up" in a roundabout way.Shen Xuan knew it in his heart, so he told her as she wanted without saying anything. I tried several medicines for Ge Qing, but there was no improvement in the end.Chen Yuan was also anxious.It was other patients, such as Yueyang Xiong's family, who would have been angry with her a long time ago, a young doctor who had just graduated from a teacher, who was not good at all, dared to use patients to test medicine.However, Ge Qing always smiled, as if he understood her very well, and let her change the prescription back and forth.What should she do? After more than a month, Chen Yuan and Ge Qing finally got to know each other gradually. When Ouyang Mijian came again, Chen Yuan couldn't bear it, and asked Ge Qing why he failed. Mr. Ouyang glanced at the little girl with a half-smile.Chen Yuan blushed, and said: "You know, he left, but the matter is not over yet." The implication was that she could only keep thinking about it. "He is the Goddess of Wushan who lost to Xueyi Yunshang." Snow clothes and cloud clothes?That is a legend that has been circulating in the rivers and lakes for many years.Chen Yuan felt strange.Ren Fengchao's closed disciple, the mysterious woman who lived in seclusion in Wushan all the year round, appeared in the anecdote of Chenxiangyuan in Lingnan, in the youth experience of his uncle Shen Xuan, and in the life experience of "Wu Ming Xiao".It seems that no one in the arena has defeated her.She - won't be the youngest? "In fact, losing to Xueyi Yunshang is not a big deal. Wushannv has never set foot in the rivers and lakes. Her martial arts are close to illusion, and no one can beat her. ——So she has long been regarded as a god-like figure, and she is not the same as the Wulin. People also said that Ge Qingda could erase this failure from his own record, but he was too arrogant. "The battle took place in Zhuzhou Emperor Yan's Mausoleum, and your uncle was there. He told the story at that time. Wu Shannv has a kung fu called 'Xingyun'. When the kung fu is performed, the clouds cover the fog. It was as if ghosts were weeping. But Ge Qing only relied on a green blade to cut through the dense fog. Later, Ge Qing scolded Xue Yi Yunshang, saying that she was confined to a barren mountain and practiced this kind of sorcery. She was not a ghost at all. Even if this kind of martial arts conquered the world, it would not be convincing. When Xue Yi Yunshang heard this, she actually put away her smoke." Chen Yuan was puzzled and said, "Then it should be Ge Qingsheng." Ouyang Mijian shook his head and said, "That's all for your uncle's words. But in the end, Ge Qing said that he lost." Chen Yuan looked bewildered. "If you want to hear more details, you can ask your own uncle." Ouyang Mijian narrowed his eyes and smiled. Of course Chen Yuan didn't dare to ask. Ge Qing, an unreasonable Jianghu person. Did Chen Yuan blame her uncle, she dared not ask herself.Shen Xuan said that he didn't care about Ge Qing, so he really didn't care, he still drove the boat back and forth every day, just pretending that the boat on the lake didn't exist.How could it be like this, as a famous doctor, it would be too tolerant for him to refuse to save him. Or uncle had his own reasons.Chen Yuan persuaded himself for a while.Uncle is a difficult person to understand.When Chen Yuan was young, he vaguely heard family members talk about some things about his uncle's wanderings in the rivers and lakes when he was young.He often sits alone in the study, lost in thought.In this way, Chen Yuan was restless while reading a book. It was so small then.If a few more years pass, Chen Yuan won't make a fuss over his uncle's indifference.There are many, many diseases in the world, and only a few of them can be cured by doctors, and there are many others, which can only be left to fate.What is a miracle doctor! It can be said that Shen Xuan is profound and intelligent, and can diagnose many difficult and miscellaneous diseases.But for patients who are already very serious, it is often nothing more than that, and the disease is terminally ill, how can it be cured?For example, Old Wu, who was a fisherman, had worked so hard for half his life and suffered from such a symptom of vomiting blood.There is no cure, so we can only weigh it up and down, let him live a few more days and suffer less.Sometimes, it is not easy to even do this.These are not what those patients want.They only know to come to the divine doctor and ask the divine doctor to save their lives. "I can cure your illness, but I may not be able to cure your life." Shen Xuan always said this to patients. I tried my best, but I still can't figure out how God arranged it.In fact, as a doctor, I have already seen through it.Doing my share of human affairs is not for the patients, but often just for the sake of those close relatives, to satisfy their little hopes. Changed to the current Chen Yuan, he would even think so.Ge Qing is so carefree, what reason is there to treat him?Tossing the doctor also tossing himself. At noon, Mr. Zhan came over with a boat and brought a letter for Shen Xuan.Chen Yuan glanced at the corner of the letter and saw the imprint of Ouyang's family. Chen Yuan didn't feel hungry, so he didn't cook, but just stared at the letter.Mr. Ouyang hasn't come for some days.What was said in the letter, I had to wait for my uncle to come back and read it. The hibiscus stamens finally dissolved in the water.After three years of waiting, it was finally done.Chen Yuan looked at the potion that looked like fine wine, but he didn't feel so happy.It's too slow, my heart is a little numb. What's more, in three years, who hasn't changed. The melody is still faintly in my mind, but it just floats around and I can't catch it.She was a little annoyed that she would forget even this.Twirling the piano column boredly, wondering if I should ask my uncle, or... It's been three years, and Chen Yuan still can't help but feel his heart pounding when he thinks about his uncle and Ge Qing being involved. What happened that day.Chen Yuan got up in the morning to wash and tidy, hugged the Yaoqin he brought from home, wandered in the lake wind for half an hour, and finally aroused in a low voice: "Ge Gongzi——" She originally thought that if Ruoge Qing couldn't hear it, that's all. But Ge Qing heard it, and the curtain was opened, revealing a gray face, only two eyes were still bright, looking at the little girl. "Can you—" Chen Yuan was a little speechless, "I heard you play that song, it's really nice. Can you teach me?" Ge Qing smiled and said softly: "I can't." Chen Yuan was a little surprised and couldn't believe his ears. His face turned pale, and he repeated: "Miss Chen, I'm sorry. But it's really not possible." After speaking, he lowered the curtain. Chen Yuan just stood there blankly, at a loss. Suddenly, a long sound of the flute came from a distance, as clear as a wave of water in the sky, or like moonlight on an iceberg. Chen Yuan's heart trembled, this is uncle. With a "Hula", a gray figure jumped out of the boat and stood still. Before Chen Yuan figured out what was going on, the owner of the Three Drunken Palace had already floated over: "Xiao Yuan, stand a little farther away." She took a few steps back in a panic, but her eyes were fixed on Ge Qing.It was the first time I saw such a tall and straight Ge Qing. The lake wind blew up his sleeves, revealing the blue fingers holding the sword, each of which was as jagged as a bamboo joint. "The goddess doesn't know." Shen Xuan said. With a raised eyebrow, Ge Qing said, "I don't know what?" "She didn't know that you would look for it. The seven-year agreement is all fake." Ge Qing showed doubts, and slowly approached Shen Xuan: "This is between me and her." Shen Xuan smiled wryly, and then said: "What you said at the beginning caused Xueyi Yunshang to put away her 'cloud movement' and retreat without a fight. Later, you followed her to Wushan. It's just that Xueyi Yunshang's whereabouts are uncertain , you can no longer ask her out, you can only play that song day by day. ——I don’t know, who did you learn this song from?” Ge Qing's face turned blank, and he didn't answer. "Later the goddess finally appeared. This time she didn't use witchcraft, but used a set of unknown swordsmanship left by Wushan's ancestor Ren Fengchao. In the end, you are still no match for it." An unnatural expression seemed to flash across Ge Qing's face. "After seven years, your illness is getting worse day by day. Can you still beat that nameless swordsmanship? Going to Wushan, the wind is high and the waves are dangerous, and the journey is long. I advise you to give up." Ge Qing smiled proudly: "If you say you're going, you're going. When a gentleman says something, he whips the horse. Does the master of Sanzui Palace even understand this?" This time it was Shen Xuan's turn to frown.He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "If you can beat the sword in my hand, you will be 70% to 80% sure against Xueyi Yunshang. Why don't we try first." Chen Yuan couldn't help but said: "Uncle, he is a sick person!" Shen Xuan sneered and said, "So what if you are sick. He knows better than you and I in his own heart! This is what he wants." Even so, he did not draw his sword together, but replaced the sword with the flute. Made a start. Chen Yuan couldn't understand swordsmanship, but felt that his uncle's movements were extremely elegant.Looking at Ge Qing again, it was as if he had seen a ghost, and his face changed drastically: "You—you—" Shen Xuan ignored it, Bi Xiao shook a few times, and nodded to Ge Qing's forehead.Ge Qing didn't have time to draw his sword, so he moved half a step away.Dongxiao scanned Ge Qing's temples, and a few strands of hair floated down.Chen Yuan covered his eyes.Ge Qing raised his palm and brushed his temples with great force, and flew behind him with the flute.Shen Xuan pushed the boat along the current, the body of the Xiao flew straight away, almost letting go.At this moment, Shen Xuan lightly flicked the tail of the flute, and the Dong Xiao spun around in the air, and then went to kill Ge Qing's back of the head again.Ge Qing jumped forward and jumped behind Shen Xuan.Shen Xuan moved very quickly, caught Dong Xiao, without turning around, stabbed with his backhand, and still touched Ge Qing's forehead, leaving a faint mark. "You can't even take three moves." Shen Xuan said. Ge Qing stared at Shen Xuan, startled and angry. "...This is the sword technique of a goddess." Shen Xuan said: "And seven years ago, you were defeated by these three tricks. You can't avoid it." Ge Qing stared blankly at Shen Xuan. "So that person is you." Chen Yuan was stunned, she didn't know what was going on between Ge Qing and her uncle. Shen Xuan sighed softly: "That's right, it's me. Xueyi Yunshang has always covered her face, and it couldn't be easier to pretend to be her." Ge Qing's fingers trembled nervously, and after a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter: "Since your martial arts have surpassed mine, you can fight me yourself, why bother to pretend to be someone else! Could it be that the master of Sanzui Palace wants to To blame the goddess?" "I don't want to blame anyone. You have been wandering in Qutang Gorge for a month, and I have been quietly waiting for a month. I guess, according to the rules of a goddess, I will never come out to see you again. But I am a doctor. , still thinking about your life." Shen Xuan smiled slightly, "Only you in the world can say that Xueyi Yunshang is sad, and only you dare to chase her to Qutang Gorge. If I, Shen Xuan, have an appointment with you for seven Year, will you take it to heart?" Ge Qing's face was miserable: "It turns out that everything was arranged by you. There is no agreement at all? Then why don't you procrastinate for a little longer, eight years, nine years?" "I know your condition very well, there is still hope for seven years. If it takes longer, it will be meaningless." Shen Xuan said. Ge Qing was silent for a while, then smiled sadly: "I would like to thank the genius doctor for that." After saying that, he walked slowly towards his boat. Chen Yuan opened his mouth, but couldn't call it out. He just felt that something was blocked in his throat, hitting his chest one after another, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.Uncle is still in sight. Suddenly Ge Qing turned his head and asked, "Why do you know Wushan's nameless swordsmanship?" "That's nothing," Shen Xuan said indifferently, "Many years ago, I saw a friend use this Wushan's nameless sword technique." When Chen Yuan heard what his uncle said, he couldn't help but shed tears, and was afraid that his uncle would see it, so he hurriedly wiped it away. "Ge Qing, there is still a prescription for your illness." Shen Xuan said suddenly. When Chen Yuan heard this, he was stunned. It's all about this, but my uncle said that there is medicine. Ge Qing's eyes lit up, but he immediately recovered his haughty look.Is it because Shen Xuan intends to blackmail him.Even Chen Yuan was guessing like this in his heart. Shen Xuan didn't wait for them to say anything, and said loudly: "Remember that—there are twelve taels of white peony stamens in spring, twelve taels of white lotus stamens in summer, twelve taels of white hibiscus stamens in autumn, and twelve taels of white plum stamens in winter. Take these four stamens , dried in the sun, and researched well. I also need twelve qian for rain on the day of rain, twelve qian for dew on the day of Bailu, twelve qian for frost on the day of frost, and twelve qian for snow on the day of light snow. Take these four kinds of water Mix well, mix the pills, add 12 qian of honey, 12 qian of rock sugar, and make the pills into longan-sized balls. If you are sick, take out a pill, use 12 fen of cork, decoct it and send it down. .” Hearing this strange prescription, Ge Qing laughed again and again, and suddenly jumped into Lao Wang's boat, as graceful as a swallow, without any splash. "I've been bothering you for days, thank you Divine Doctor Shen!" The boat just disappeared into the vast Dongting Lake. Shen Xuan didn't say anything more to Chen Yuan, but silently stared at the empty water surface.Suddenly, with a "snap", the flute in his hand snapped into two pieces.The first time Chen Yuan saw his uncle, there was something strange in his eyes. Since then, I have never seen Ge Qing again.However, Chen Yuan firmly remembered his uncle's folk prescription.How can there be such a coincidence in the world's affairs, but it happens that there is rain on the day of rain, white dew on the day of Bailu, frost on the day of Frost's Fall, and light snow on the day of Xiaoxue.Shen Xuan has nothing to do, and there are many flowers and plants in Sanzui Palace, but peonies and hibiscus are delicate flowers, how can they collect twelve taels of stamens every year.With only three years, this tormenting prescription, who can guarantee that it will be prepared well in three years? So Chen Yuan's heart was all about those spring flowers, autumn moon, rain, snow, wind and frost. The hard work paid off, and when the autumn wind blew three times, the last kind of white hibiscus was finally assembled. When Shen Xuan came back, Chen Yuan had already prepared the medicine, took a small silver spoon, and filled it carefully into a small box.Shen Xuan saw it, didn't say anything, and opened the letter from Ouyang's family first.The letter paper is white and sprinkled with gold, revealing the indescribable and indescribable aura of wealth and honor of the prestigious family at the moment.Shen Xuan finished reading in a hurry, without any expression on his face. Chen Yuan's probing eyes met him, and he lowered his head hurriedly, as if he had a ghost in his heart, and became more and more embarrassed. "Well, Xiao Yuan." Shen Xuan said. Chen Yuan didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly said: "Uncle, I have prepared the medicine, and I can send it to Mr. Ge." Shen Xuan said lightly: "Ge Qing is dead." Chen Yuan was stunned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of these words. "The year before last, someone came from Baidi City and said that he had seen his grave, and I only knew about it. He said it was a relapse of an old illness, but he still didn't get over it in the end." Shen Xuan added. “舅舅——舅舅——”陈缘忽然大声的喊了起来。 沈瑄有些莫名其妙。 其实陈缘什么也说不出来。 倒是沈瑄又补了一句：“没有告诉你，是我一向忘记了。” 一个月以后，陈缘独自到了白帝城。 其时是寒冬了，裹了厚厚的昭君帽，袖笼里凉意绵绵。 陈缘来得太晚了。野草凋敝的山坡上，没有留下任何标记。看上去像是根本没有坟茔，又像是荒冢累累的无法分辨。葛倾为人，许是“死便埋我”，根本就没有留下坟来呢。 nobody.她沉沉的吸了一口气，这原是她的第一个病人，就这样去了，她自己竟然无知无觉。这还叫什么医生？想着想着，心里痛得不行。 葛倾，他的故事就这么草草收场，来不及为他改写。 陈缘耳朵里又泛起舅舅清淡的声音：“卢真人早就看出来，葛倾是身患绝症却不自知。所以庐山一战，卢真人以一代宗师的身份，却爽约了。其时他来找我，要我救治这个狂傲的年轻人。我并没有太多办法。葛倾的心疾是从胎里带来的，要想让他多活几年，唯有不动武功。而令他放弃武功，又唯有让他经历一次惨败。我和卢真人都没有十足的把握，所以请来了巫山神女，没想到反是葛倾折服了神女。我于是自己出手，并定下了七年的约战。那时我想，他遭此败绩，总该金盆洗手了。即便他不肯，七年，乃是他的大限，为了与雪衣云裳的约定。他也总该让自己活到那个时候。后来他果然不肯放弃武功，病人立定主意的事情，医生也没有法子。想来他那几年江湖上颇受了些波折。病情比我想象的还快。时隔四年，他就病入膏肓了。当时他来求我们相救，还希望能重上巫山。其实哪里有的可救，只能看着他死去。” “那——”陈缘喃喃道，“葛倾的师父，晦明禅师，总该知道这些。当初为什么还要教他武功？” 沈瑄不语。 陈缘也就不敢再问什么。然则又想起来欧阳觅剑的话，似乎当年的情形，巫山女和葛倾之间，还不止于此。还有那一曲又是从何而来。舅舅不说，谁也不能问，也许更有苦衷？江湖上很多很多的历史，也就是这样慢慢湮没了。陈缘再怎样心心念念的想知道葛倾，终究也只能是一个谜语。春天开的白牡丹花蕊十二两，夏天开的白莲花蕊十二两，秋天开的白芙蓉花蕊十二两，冬天开的白梅花蕊十二两……已经跟了舅舅好几年了，陈缘怎会不知道，这样的方子哪里是药呢？连葛倾都明白罢，她自己却才回过味来。四季的花，流年的水，三年的辛劳，平白磨着人的心性。就这么牵着念着，慢慢也就长大。 忽然觉得自己真是好笑，不就是听过他几声笛子吗？ 可是又忍不住想到，葛倾那出神入化的武功，竟是用性命换来的。也是，与其苟且一世，不如撇下医家那些老生常谈，热热辣辣的活一场。葛倾这样想，晦明师父也能体谅。可到头来人算还是不如天算，三年的等待，三年的寂寞，终是落了空。埋骨在高绝浩淼的白帝之颠，与远处神女峰遥遥相对。春草暮兮秋风凉，秋风罢兮春草生。自古皆有死，莫不饮恨而吞声。That's all. 信里明明白白，沈瑄也给陈缘看过。“欧阳公子向我求你为妻，你自己若情肯，我便回信与他商量下聘。 “那时你母亲，是说让我给你做主的。我想，你一个女孩儿家，未必情愿陪着我这老头子，一生过这种清贫日子。欧阳公子说他看重你性情温良，又颇通医理，可以做他的贤内助。 “欧阳世家声威煊赫，他家的女主人固然不好做，好在欧阳公子是个有能耐的，不会令你为难。小缘你本来是个懂事的孩子，将来好自为之，或者会有出人头地之日。” 陈缘没有说同意，也没有说不同意。女孩儿一低头，那么也就是肯了。沈瑄觉得，根本没有理由阻拦这桩姻缘。此刻清冷的三醉宫西风瑟瑟，黄叶满山。等到雪化冰消，等到春暖花开，又一个女儿又该嫁出门去了。陈缘也在想，或者冥冥之中，真有什么是命，是命中注定？ 白芙蓉的季节已过，却是梅花当家。流年细数，丝丝缕缕，掌心的雪花簌然融化，原来什么也留不住，留不住的。
