"What?"
Liu Mingzhi exclaimed, grabbed Sai Huatuo's arms with both hands, and stared at his helpless expression with sharp eyes.
"Sai Lao, you are the world's miracle doctor who is known as the King of Hell and kills people. Is there nothing you can do?"
Under Liu Mingzhi's sharp gaze, Sai Huatuo still looked melancholy and shook his head.
"Master, it's not that I don't want to save the old lady, but that I really can't do anything."
"Sai Lao, think about it again, even if you only have a little hope.
As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I will not hesitate to pay any price. "
"Master, I can certainly understand your mood.
However, the old lady’s current symptoms are not illnesses, but fate.
It's not that illness is fate. If fate is like this, what can old age do?
No matter how brilliant your medical skills are, you are still just an ordinary person.
Since we are ordinary people, how can we do something that defies heaven and changes our destiny?
Young Master, it is true that Jianghu people sent the old king of hell to his death.
It's a pity that the King of Hell can't really take his life from the hands of the King of Hell after all. "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Sai Huatuo's sighing expression, and his hands slipped weakly from his arms.
Sai Huatuo moved his arms a few times, then reached out and patted Mr. Liu's arm.
"Master, please look at me."
Liu Mingzhi licked his dry lips, reached out and took off the wine bag from his waist and took a long sip.
"Chu Aiqing."
Imperial doctor Chu Renxin hurriedly walked up to Young Master Liu and bowed respectfully.
"His Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and took another sip of wine. His dry throat felt a little better. He covered his throat with the wine bag and sighed with a heavy expression.
"What do you mean about the old man's body?"
"Your Majesty, I have the same intention as Brother Sai."
"King ginseng, snow lotus seeds, thousand-year-old ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, hundred-year-old polygonum multiflorum, and other precious medicinal materials. These precious medicinal materials are placed in front of you for your use, but you still have nothing to do?
Even if I live another year.
No, even if it takes half a year, I will be satisfied.
Could it be that even half a year is not allowed? "
"Your Majesty, Brother Sai has just told you the general situation of the old lady, so I won't repeat it again.
The old minister and Brother Sai have been discussing countermeasures for the past few days, and have tried every means, but there is still no way to reverse the old lady's outcome.
The only thing that the old minister and Brother Sai can do now is to use all kinds of precious and exotic medicines to keep the old lady alive.
As for how long it can last, neither Lao Chen nor Brother Sai dare to make a judgment.
All I can say is, do your best.
I hope I can survive until the day when Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine and His Royal Highness the Emperor’s Grandson arrive. "
Hearing that Chu Renxin and Sai Huatuo had similar conclusions, Liu Mingzhi felt disappointed.
Liu Mingzhi nodded with a depressed expression, and once again took off the cigarette pouch that he had just removed from his waist.
After silently taking a puff of dry cigarette, Liu Mingzhi turned his head and looked at the wooden house behind him, and withdrew his gaze with some reluctance.
"Is there really nothing you can do?"
"Master, it's gone, it's really gone.
In this world, birth, old age, illness and death are common occurrences, and this is something that no one can change.
Master, everyone has to take this step eventually, right?
Lao Chan is a doctor, and the destiny of a doctor is to save the world and save people.
As the saying goes, saving someone's life is a great merit. If the old man could really save the old lady's life, why wouldn't he do it?
However, the old lady's fate is like this, and there is really nothing the old man can do.
Young Master, I dare to say something unpleasant.
The old lady's time is running out. It's time to prepare for her funeral, so let's prepare for her funeral. "
Chu Renxin also nodded in agreement and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, when the manpower is exhausted, the old minister will be at his wits' end!"
Liu Mingzhi took a long puff of dry smoke, leaned over and knocked out the unburned tobacco from the pot on the rocks at his feet.
"Sai Lao, Chu Aiqing."
"Master?"
"His Majesty?"
"When you two meet the old man later, try not to mention the old man's physical problems.
Instead of mentioning it, try to give the elderly hope.
You two should know how to say it specifically, so I won’t explain it one by one. "
"Yes, don't worry, young master, the old man has something in his heart."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I know what to say and what not to say."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently, rolled up the tobacco bag in his hand and walked towards the bamboo house first.
"Mom, my son-in-law is back."
"Kid, sit down quickly."
"Lian'er."
"Mom, tell me."
"Silly boy, you must have had nothing to eat and sleep in the open air on the way from the capital to Miao territory.
You silly girl, haven't you seen that Mingzhi's lips are dry? Why don't you hurry up and pour a cup of tea for your husband, and then prepare some food to take care of him. "
"Hey, Lian'er will go right now, Lian'er will go right now."
Qinglian raised her hand to wipe her reddish eyes, and walked lightly towards the main hall of the bamboo house.
After Qinglian left, the old man looked at Sai Huatuo and Chu Renxin standing next to Liu Mingzhi with a guilty expression.
"Brother Sai and Brother Chu, you two have worked really hard for me to have this old bone."
"Hey, big sister, you are just talking about it, aren't you?
As doctors, we brothers, it is our duty as doctors to help the world and save people. There is no such thing as hard work.
"Old madam, Brother Sai is right, this is our duty as doctors.
How do you feel now after drinking the decoction in the morning? Is there any discomfort? "
"Much better, much better. After taking the medicine prescribed by you two brothers, I feel that my energy is much stronger than yesterday."
Saihua Tuo chuckled and nodded, stroking his gray beard and walking towards the head of the bed.
"It's better, sister. I'll take your pulse again."
"Okay, then I'll do my best to challenge you, brother."
Liu Mingzhi heard the words between Sai Huatuo and hurriedly stood up and gave up his position.
"Sai Lao, sit down."
"Okay, I won't be polite to the young master anymore."
Saihua Tuo nodded slightly, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, and put his fingers on Grandma Qinglian's thin wrist.
After a while, Saihua Tuo happily put away his fingers, stroked his beard and said to Qinglian's mother: "Sister, your pulse is much stronger than the previous two days. As long as you keep taking the decoction, it won't take long." In a few days, things will be back to normal.
After you have recovered your health, you can hold your great-grandson and show it off to others. "
Qinglian's mother heard Saihua Tuo's words and nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll accept your good advice, brother Sai."
"Don't dare, don't dare, this is your own blessing, big sister!"
"Master, young ladies, young ladies, young masters, the old lady has just recovered her energy and needs more rest.
Let's not disturb the old lady and let her rest for a while. "
"Okay, then listen to Mr. Sai."
"By the way, has the old lady taken the morning decoction?"
"No, the medicine is still being fried in the medicine pot outside the room!"
"Then let the old lady drink the decoction and then rest."
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly and turned to look at his eldest daughter Liu Yiyi.
"Yiyi, Feifei, you two sisters go and prepare soup for your grandma."
"Yes, daddy."
"Mom, after you drink the decoction, you can have a good sleep. We won't delay you in recharging your energy."
"Okay, okay, you've worked hard along the way. Just tell Miss Lian what you want to eat and let her prepare it for you."
"My son-in-law knows, let's go out first."
"Well, go ahead."
After Liu Mingzhi and his wife walked out of the bamboo house, their eyes fell on Sai Huatuo.
"Sai Lao, how is your pulse?"
Sai Huatuo looked around and saw Qinglian's busy figure in the distance. He held his beard and shook his head at Liu Mingzhi and others.
"Master, the young ladies, the old lady's pulse has improved slightly after taking the decoction, but once she stops taking the decoction, her pulse will improve.
The old lady might...sigh..."
Saihua Tuo did not say the following words.
But Liu Mingzhi and his wife and others already understood the meaning of his words.
"I understand, you two, try your best to keep the old man alive.
Whatever medicinal materials are needed during this period, no matter whether they are treasured or not, valuable or not, you can use them as you should without asking my instructions.
My young master has only one request, and that is to do his best to make the old man hold on until the young master, my daughter-in-law and my eldest grandson and their mother-in-law arrive. "
"Yes, I understand."
"Old minister also understands."
"Well, you two can continue to discuss the prescription."
"I'll take my leave."
"Old minister, please retire."
After Sai Huatuo left hand in hand, Qi Yun, Qi Ya, the Queen and other sisters gathered around Liu Mingzhi.
"Husband, how many days will it take for Sister Yan'er and Serena to arrive?"
"Yes, husband, did you encounter Sister Yan'er's carriage and horses on the way? Where are they now?"
“Husband, why don’t I, my sisters, ride on horseback to pick them up immediately?
It's okay for Sister Yan'er and the others to at least bring Serena and Chenyu, mother and son, here first. "
Liu Mingzhi listened to the questions Qi Yun and his sisters asked, and shook his head without hesitation.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Qing Lian's Qian Ying who was preparing food for her, and gave a signal to the beauties with his eyes.
"Yun'er, Sister Ya, none of us can leave the Miao Village now.
Otherwise, Lian'er would definitely notice something was wrong.
If she had random thoughts, her husband would be worried that her body would not be able to bear it. "
"But, what if..."
"Yun'er, there are no buts and no eventualities.
Wait, no matter what, we have to wait. "
"Okay, I understand."
"Husband, how long do you have to wait?"
"When my husband met Yan'er and the others the day before yesterday, they had already arrived in Bazhou.
By now, they should have arrived in Chengdu Prefecture.
My husband estimated that they would be there in one day or two days.
At the latest, it should not take more than three days. "
The queen looked towards the bamboo house, raised her slender jade fingers and kneaded her eyebrows.
"Well, if I go by what you said, my husband, Sister Yan'er and the others are already very fast.
Just be afraid. "
"I see what Mr. Sai and the others want from me. It shouldn't be a problem to help my mother and her until Yan'er, the sisters and Serena and the others arrive.
Now there is no better way besides trusting Mr. Sai and the two of them.
Uh-huh, Lian'er has come over, and everyone is getting excited. Don't put any more pressure on Lian'er. "
When Qi Yun and her sisters heard their husband's reminder, they immediately sorted out their emotions and acted as if nothing had happened.
"Husband, Sister Yun, Sister Wanyan, what are you talking about?"
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly, walked towards Qinglian, and took the tray in her hand.
"It's nothing. We talked about when my mother's health will get better."
"As a husband, I know in my heart that my mother..."
"Lian'er, after traveling for a day for my husband, I am already feeling empty in my stomach. Let me fill my stomach first.
Come on, let's go sit on the stone bench next to us. "
Qinglian Sakura pursed her lips a few times and nodded her head gently.
"Hey, husband, you eat first."
Liu Mingzhi and his wife and others walked to the stone bench and sat on it one after another.
"Husband, we are in a hurry and I haven't prepared any good food. You can make a living and have a meal first. I will prepare wine and food for you in the evening."
"It's okay. Don't you sisters still have the habit of being married to your husband? Eat delicious food if you have it. If you don't have delicious food, just fill your stomach.
If any of you sisters are hungry, eat together. "
"Yes, my sisters know."
Liu Mingzhi just took a bite of the food when he suddenly thought of something and looked up at Qi Yun who was sitting opposite.
"Yun'er, didn't this girl Xuan'er come?"
"No."
"Based on the speed at which the golden eagle delivers messages, this girl Xuan'er should have arrived in Miao territory earlier than me.
Could it be that something went wrong on the road?
Or is it that Xuan'er didn't receive the letter from her husband? "
“Husband, with my little sister’s strength, I shouldn’t encounter any trouble on the road.
It's possible that my little sister didn't receive your letter. After all, my little sister has been traveling around the world.
When she has no fixed place to live, it is difficult for the golden eagle's message to reach her in time.
I estimate that my little sister either didn’t receive your letter at all, or she was a few days late and is on her way here now. "
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, pursed his lips and swallowed the food in his mouth.
"That's right, let's continue eating."
"Sister Lian'er, you just drank a few mouthfuls of thin porridge in the morning. You must be empty now. Eat vegetables quickly."
"Thank you, Sister Ya."
"Husband, you should eat quickly. When you are full, go to my sister's room to rest and recuperate your energy."
"Together."
About half an hour later, Liu Mingzhi, who had eaten and drank enough, was led by the beauties to another bamboo house.
"Husband, have a good rest. My sisters will take good care of you."
"Okay, then I'll be polite to you husband."
"Well, my sisters are going out first."
After a while, Liu Mingzhi's even breathing came from the bamboo house.
From time to time there were a few snoring sounds.
When Qinglian and the other beauties heard the movement in the room, a look of distress flashed through their eyes.
From what they know about their husbands, they will snore after falling asleep.
It must have been tiring.
