As soon as I came out, someone inside was finishing up, changed clothes, and walked to the free clinic outside. It was not until ten o'clock in the night that the villagers outside who came to see the doctor gradually dispersed. Those whose homes were far away were inevitably given food and stayed in the ward for one night.
By the time she returned to her room, Lin Rong was so tired that her whole body ached. Kingfisher fetched some water to soak her feet, and then gently beat her feet: "Why are you doing this, County Lord? There are so many patients. I’ll never stop seeing it until the end of time.”
Lin Rong took out the hairpin and spread her black hair on her shoulders. She sighed comfortably: "Although it's a little tiring, I still feel it's worth it. It's strange why I didn't feel it before. Besides, as a doctor, the most important thing is reputation." , once this reputation spreads, those people won’t dare to come together.”
Kingfisher took a comb to comb Lin Rong's hair and smiled: "That's right, the county master is much happier than before." He also said: "With Master Tao's protection, those little ones don't dare to come and make trouble."
While the two were talking, someone came in from outside and replied: "Doctor Lin, someone from the Tao Mansion is here. They say that a three or four-year-old girl in the house is sick and has a high fever. Could you please go there quickly?"
Lin Rong groaned and asked, "Have you ever heard that Master Tao has a three- or four-year-old child in his house?"
The man then said: "It is said that he is a cousin from his hometown. He has only been here for five days and he is not accustomed to the local environment. He has seen many doctors, but they have no effect, so he came to disturb me late at night."
After hearing this, Lin Rong stood up immediately: "Okay, I'll change my clothes." Then he told Jingqin: "Take the medicine box with you."
Chapter 90
Not long after, a carriage stopped at the door of the hospital. Two women were waiting at the door. Mrs. Tao, who was familiar to Lin Rong, saw the anxious look on their faces and asked, "How can you come in person when it's so late at night?" Just send a boy from the outer courtyard."
The two women said: "It's inconvenient for the boy in the outer courtyard, so it's more convenient for us to pick him up." After they all got on the carriage, they said separately: "It's not a serious symptom at all. This girl in our family has just been picked up from her hometown. , I have been suffering from asthma since I was a child. I came here and took medicine for four or five days. I refused to take any more medicine no matter what."
The other nodded: "My wife is very distressed. I want to ask Dr. Lin to take a look and consider a suitable prescription. Let the high fever go down first."
Lin Rong groaned, feeling a little strange in his heart that the child refused to take medicine and just coaxed him away. Why did he need to change the doctor? Only she has been blessed by Tao Mansion in recent years. When Mr. Tao was still serving in Jiangzhou, it was he who saw the token and tidied up the ship for her. Lin Rong couldn't trust this family more. He often asked me to go into his house to have his pulse checked, but he just thought he was a pampered child and didn't think anything more about it.
While talking, they arrived at the city gate. At this time, the city gate had long been closed. The driver showed the Tao Mansion's token, and the city guard immediately opened the door and welcomed him in with a smile.
When they arrived at Tao Mansion, Grandma Tao San was standing at the second gate. As soon as she heard the rumble of the carriage outside, she immediately went up to her and helped Lin Rong down: "Come in and have a look. I just drank the medicine. I didn't think about it." I vomited everything. Everyone in the room was on their backs. My wife was so anxious that she urged me several times to send someone to see if you were here."
As he talked, he led Lin Rong to the corridor: "You are a three- or four-year-old boy with a stubborn temper and refuses to take medicine. The family really has no choice, so I have to invite you here."
For a moment, he stopped in front of a small courtyard. There were servants, women and maids standing everywhere inside and outside the house and on the porch. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw that the room inside was very spacious, as if two or three pavilions were connected. The four carved windows were all wide open, and the snow-green curtains were flying around. Mrs. Tao was standing by the bed, holding a cup in her hand. The medicine bowl, with a pleasant face, said: "Take another sip of medicine, okay?"
The little girl's face was flushed with fever, but she still shook her head: "I don't take medicine."
Mrs. Tao sighed, turned around and saw Lin Rong standing at the door. She relaxed her heartstrings and called with a smile: "Doctor Lin, you are finally here."
Hearing this sentence, the little girl propped up her elbows and asked someone to help her sit up. She stared blankly at Lin Rong, pursed her lips, and looked like she couldn't help crying, but she held it back and sobbed twice. "You...you are Dr. Lin..." He was young and burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth. He bit his lips and refused to cry.
Mrs. Tao said: "I have been telling her just now that there is Dr. Lin who prescribes prescriptions that are not bitter at all, and he has been waiting for you?"
For some reason, when Lin Rong saw the little girl crying, she suddenly felt depressed. She walked over slowly, sat on the edge of the bed, took the embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her tears: "Don't be afraid, I'll open up later." Such a bitter medicine, how about taking a sugar pill that strengthens the stomach and relieves the spleen?"
The little girl looked at her, but her tears started to flow more and more fiercely. She seemed to be extremely wronged. She sobbed for a long time, then she gently said the word "good", and her cheeks with baby fat swelled slightly: "How...why are you... just came……"
Lin Rong had seen many children of this age when he visited the clinic. Most of them would not listen to anyone once they started crying. This was the first time he had seen such a reasonable child. At that moment, he took the wet tissue from the maid next to him, put it on her forehead, helped her lie down, checked her pulse carefully, looked at the tongue coating, and asked: "What did you eat today? Did you feel cold or hot... Apart from vomiting, did you have diarrhea?"
The little girl lay quietly. Every time Lin Rong asked, she answered in a sweet voice. When she only asked if she had diarrhea, she pursed her lips and refused to speak.
Mrs. Tao, who was standing aside, immediately said: "I have a little diarrhea."
Lin Rong nodded and was about to get up and go to the Ruyi round table next to him to write down a prescription for medicine. He didn't want to ask the little girl to hold her arms and pouted: "You are not allowed to leave. If you prescribe bitter medicine like them, talk to me." If nothing else, then I won’t be able to find you.”
Although she was young, she always spoke in long sentences, which made all the ladies in the room laugh. Mrs. Tao bent down and persuaded: "The city gates are closed today, and it's so late. Dr. Lin You want to rest here, you won’t leave?”
But the little girl ignored him and held Lin Rong's hand: "You are lying. You said you could see it as soon as you came, but you obviously didn't..." This sentence had no beginning and no end, and it was hard to understand.
Lin Rong was originally annoyed by the crying children, but now seeing the little girl bursting into tears, she couldn't help but feel sour. If Ah Zhao was by her side, he would hold her arm like this and act coquettishly. After a moment of silence, he still agreed. Holding her. He asked the maid to bring pen and ink to the bedside, took the tray, picked up the pen and wrote two prescriptions, saying: "Don't worry, Mrs. Tao, it's okay. I'm not used to the climate and have some wind and cold. Just take a few medicines. It's greasy and smelly." Yes, don’t eat it for the next few days.”
Mrs. Tao took the prescription and hurriedly ordered people to go out and get the medicine. Not long after, a woman brought up a large bowl. The medicine looked dark. The little girl frowned and hummed: "Can you not drink it?"
Mrs. Tao advised: "Be good, can you get better by drinking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Lin?"
The little girl just looked at Lin Rong and asked cautiously: "How about you stay with me at night? I feel so uncomfortable?"
Lin Rong felt suddenly. For a moment, she seemed to see Lu Shen's old expression on the little girl's face. She hesitantly took the medicine bowl, slowly blew it to cool it, and fed her spoonful by spoonful. He agreed: "I'll leave after your fever subsides, okay?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Tao finally felt relieved. She was in her fifties and couldn't bear it anymore. She looked haggard but didn't mention going back to rest. When Lin Rong saw her, she had no choice but to say, "Mrs. Tao, you have diabetes mellitus. You are the most taboo about staying up late. Go back and rest. I am here. There are too many people in the room, which makes her feel depressed and uncomfortable."
Mrs. Tao felt worried when she saw Lin Rong's face darkened, not as if he had just arrived. She thought for a while, said "Sorry to trouble Doctor Lin", and led the maid and mother-in-law out of the door.
This made Kingfisher mutter: "Why did everyone leave without leaving two people to serve?" She handed over the replacement wet wipes, came forward, saw the little girl, and then turned to look at Lin Rong. , with a slightly surprised look on his face: "Master, this little girl's features and eyes look exactly like yours?"
He shook his head again for a moment: "He looks a bit like Mrs. Tao! I don't know if he is a relative of the Tao family, but he is a few direct grandchildren. I have never seen Mrs. Tao in such a hurry before..."
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Lin Rong only focused on diagnosing the pulse and prescribing prescriptions, but did not pay attention. At this time, he listened silently, leaned over to explore the little girl's red and hot cheeks, looked at her eyebrows carefully, and stroked them. She had broken hair on her temples, and when she saw two small red moles behind her ears, she immediately understood everything. His hands were shaking slightly, but he still couldn't help it. He lowered his head and burst into tears. He paused for a long time before he could speak: "Is it hard?"
The tears fell on Ah Zhao's face, feeling cool and very comfortable. She nodded and shook her head, as if she was very confused and a little frustrated: "You... don't like me and don't want to treat me?"
Lin Rong shook his head and forced a smile: "How could it be? How could someone not like you?" How could someone not like my Ah Zhao?
Lin Rong hugged her in his arms, and little Azhao leaned on her chest, sobbing and sobbing, and said intermittently: "They all said... they all said that you don't like me..."
She sobbed quietly, and she could hold it back at first, but then she couldn't stop it. She cried for an unknown amount of time, and she was really sleepy, so she fell asleep in Lin Rong's arms.
Kingfisher stood aside, surprised and afraid: "County Lord, this..."
Lin Rong said: "I'm afraid, this child is Azhao!"
Kingfisher exclaimed: "It's the little master?" How could the little master come here? If the little master is here, is the prince also here? She turned around in surprise and saw that the windows around her were wide open and the twilight was dim. , there was no sign of anyone, only the curtains flying in the wind could be seen.
Lin Rong frowned and told Kingfisher: "Close the windows." He also changed A Zhao's forehead scarf and saw that her fever slowly subsided, and then he felt relieved. Seeing that the little girl was covered in sweat, he asked Kingfisher to get hot water and wipe her carefully.
As soon as Lin Rong moved, Ah Zhao woke up. He was so sleepy that he still remembered to ask: "Are you leaving?"
Lin Rongben calmed down a bit. When he saw her asking this question, his eyes turned red again. With a nasal voice, he said soothingly: "No, I will stay with you and I won't leave."
Ah Zhao hummed, turned over and rested his head on Lin Rong's arm, relieved: "Okay, you have to keep your word..."
Kingfisher stood beside him and couldn't help but shed tears too. After the young master fell asleep, he asked with a worried look on his face: "County Master, what are you going to do? The young master is here, Lord." He must have come too..."
Lin Rong waved her hands feebly, and the boundless feeling of suffocation seemed to spread again. She lowered her head and kissed Azhao's forehead gently, sighing deeply.
Kingfisher was still in disbelief and asked over and over again: "County Master, are you really the little master? Could it be that you are mistaken? The child hasn't grown up yet, so it doesn't look like that much."
Lin Rong waited for Ah Zhao to sleep more soundly, and then took out his arm. He was already covered in sweat, and nodded: "There are two small red moles like rice grains behind her right ear. They are unmistakable." She smiled again. Touching Kingfisher's hand: "Don't be afraid, don't panic."
The weather was hot at this time, and it was the south. She was sticky when she sweated. Lin Rong stood up and went to the clean room behind the screen, just wanting to wipe his face.
The clean room must not be used frequently, and no one had a light on. Lin Rong was too lazy to go back and get the candlestick. He walked with only the faint moonlight in the dark. Without realizing it, he knocked over a basin of water on the shelf. I suddenly screamed and got wet.
Kingfisher heard the noise and asked: "County Lord, what's wrong?"
Lin Rong cursed in his heart, saying that nothing went well today, and replied: "It's okay, the water spilled. I'll just wipe it and come out, you look at Azhao."
She sat on the embroidery stool, facing the moonlight, took off her wet robe, twisted the cotton towel, and carefully wiped the water stains on her chest. While wiping, she felt a little dizzy, as if she had a heat stroke. She stood up on her high chair and suddenly heard a suppressed breathing coming from somewhere.
Lin Rong was shocked for a moment, took a step back and asked: "Who?"
Lu Shen slowly came out from the shadows, his face as heavy as water, and asked, "Who do you think it should be?"
Chapter 91
Lu Shen stood there with a gloomy face, and the watery moonlight reflected on his face through the window lattice, adding to the tight and oppressive feeling. The look between the palms: "Should I call you Wuyang County Lord Cui Jun Cui Shiyi, or Dr. Lin Ronglin?"
Lin Rong stood at the bottom, covering his clothes, and then he could clearly see through the moonlight that it was Lu Shen. His angular face seemed to be the same as three years ago. It was extremely annoying when he saw it, and his voice was annoying when he heard it. Feeling depressed outside.
Lin Rong was not surprised to see it was him. She took two steps back to put some distance between her, raised her head slightly, and looked directly into his eyes, with a look of indifference on her face: "What if it's Cui Shiyi? What if it's Lin Rong? Lu Shen, the last time we met in Yongzhou four years ago On the one hand, you held a sword and said to me that a man should not have a wife. You also said to me, "Leave me to fend for myself." I will always remember these two sentences, and I hope you will not forget them."
Suddenly he smiled contemptuously: "The things that Emperor Yong and Sheng Ming made by breaking their promises and getting fat can no longer be done!"
When Lu Shen heard this, he just paused for a moment without any expression on his face. For a person like him, as long as he thought about it, the more angry and angry he became, the more calm he would become. He was good at cultivating qi, so he only stared at Lin Rong quietly and did not answer her words.
For a moment, it became quiet, and one could hear the chirping of insects in the grassy stream outside the courtyard, as well as the heartbeat of someone in the house.
Lu Shenhu chuckled and approached step by step. Every time he took a step forward, he forced Lin Rong to take a step back. After only three or five steps, he was forced to press against the wall. The two of them breathed each other, and although their skin never touched each other, they almost pulled him into his arms.
Mr. Tao was originally a close minister of Pei Linggong. After Pei Linggong went into seclusion, he surrendered to the Lu family. When Lin Rong's shipwreck sank in Jiangzhou, he was working as a promotion official in Jiangzhou. He was the right-hand man of Ru Su, the governor of Jiangzhou at that time. It was also left to him to handle at the beginning, so he was able to do things cheaply and hide the truth. Lin Rong hid in his mansion for nearly three months, and her family members all knew she was a woman. This time for a medical visit and entering the inner hospital again, Lin Rong was dressed in women's clothing, only wearing a curtain and hat to cover her.
At this time, she was wearing a green gauze double-breasted coat with auspicious clouds and dark patterns, a white silk vertical collar, and a jade-colored water-weave skirt. She knocked over the copper basin on the high table and took off her outer garments. Wearing only close-fitting plain gauze clothes. The gauze came from Huzhou. It was as thin as a cicada's wing, very cool and breathable. When it was slightly stained with water, it became dense and covered with a large piece of gauze. It clung to the chest. It rose and fell with the breathing, and the jade color under the plain gauze was faintly visible.
Lin Rong asked him to circle in the corner, his wet breath could be heard in his ears. He turned his head and did not look at him. He only felt that his breathing was not smooth, and he became more and more dizzy. He pushed with his hands, and the bastard was as motionless as Tieshan. , said coldly with a stern face: "Lu Shen, don't be too ridiculous!"
Lu Shen ignored her, pinched Lin Rong's wrist with one hand, and pulled it gently with the other hand. The gauze clothes were peeled off, revealing a pair of trembling soft white jade, leaning towards Lin Rong. He screamed and trembled with anger, and the two balls of soft jade began to tremble more and more gently.
She stood there, not knowing what he was going to do, whether it was desire or punishment, Ah Zhao was still sick outside, yet he wanted her here.
Lin Rongming was so angry that his eyes were red with tears at the end of his eyes. He stretched out his legs to kick him, but told him to hold him down. He could only curse bitterly: "Lu Shen, you beast, why don't you die?"
Lu Shen turned a deaf ear, took out a ginger sweat towel from his sleeve, wrapped it in his hand, and gently wiped the water stains on his chest. Every time he touched it, Lin Rong took a breath of cold air, as if that place was screaming. When a person applies medicine to a wound, the pain is severe.
After a while, both of them were sweating slightly on their foreheads, but neither of them spoke. After a long time, Lu Shen put the sweat towel back into his sleeves and said with a deep eye, "It's a pity that I'm not dead, so you can't do what you want."
He lowered his head gently, leaned over to take the woman's bright red lips, and pressed her slender waist, making her unable to refuse. Suddenly the tip of his tongue tingled, and there was a strong smell of blood between his tongue and nose. He didn't stop and kissed her deeper and harder, as if he was punishing her.
Lin Rong grabbed his wrist, but couldn't break it open, leaving only a few blood marks on the back of his hand. After an unknown amount of time, he was almost out of breath, and then he saw Lu Shen let go.
The corner of his mouth was bitten, and a trace of blood oozed out. He stroked the back of Lin Rong's neck and looked at her deeply: "You just hate me!"
Suddenly, I heard a burst of soft footsteps. I don’t know when, Ah Zhao had gotten up from the bed and stood at the door of the clean room. His face was still sleepy and he rubbed his eyes: "Dad? Are you fighting? ?"
Lin Rong's breath was choked when he heard this, and Lu Shen immediately turned half a step to block Lin Rong's approach, and answered in a much warmer voice: "There was no fight, how could there be a fight? Why did A Zhao get up? Daddy was asking Doctor Lin, you How is your illness? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
The child is full of energy. Once the fever is gone, he becomes energetic again and is obviously no longer uncomfortable. Azhao looked quite confused: "No?" He thought about walking down the steps to have a clearer look.
Lu Shen hurriedly dismissed her: "Dad is thirsty. There is a cup of tea on the small table outside. Ah Zhao will bring it to you, okay?"
Little Azhao nodded, said something, and turned around to serve tea. Suddenly he remembered something and came back: "Mother..." The mother's mother's name was not spoken, and she remembered Lu Shen's instructions when she first arrived. He called me: "Doctor Lin, do you want some tea?"
Lin Rong asked Lu Shen to stand behind him, but when the gauze clothes were in chaos just now, the two of them stepped on them. There was no change of clothes in the room, so he was quite embarrassed.
Before she could speak, Lu Shen had already answered for her: "You are young and can only hold one cup of tea. After holding two cups, you spilled it. Daddy will just have a cup with Dr. Lin."
Ah Zhao nodded when he heard this, feeling that it made sense. As he walked out slowly, he muttered: "Yes, I spilled two cups after I brought them... Yes, I spilled them after I took two cups..."
That look was so adorable that Lu Shen couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't know who I am following, but I can fool people so easily."
Lin Rong pushed him away and went to pick up the gauze clothes on the ground with a sullen face. She could no longer wear them. Lu Shen took off his robe and put it on her body: "Sit for a while, I'll go out and ask the maid to bring another dress in."
Lin Rong turned his back and stood aside. Lu Shen stroked the curtain and went out. After a while, he heard the father and daughter talking outside.
Where Lin Rong was sitting, he felt dizzy for a while. He knew that he was too tired from the free clinic in the past few days. Today, he was in the sun for an hour, and he had some heat stroke. In addition, his symptoms were aggravated due to his mood swings just now. She lay weakly on the low table, and could not hear clearly what was being said outside. It only sounded like one person was asking and the other was answering. After a while, Ah Zhao's laughter could be heard.
As she sat there, listening to such laughter, she felt more and more dizzy. After an unknown amount of time, Kingfisher came in with two maids. Kingfisher was holding clothes, and the two girls were carrying two buckets of hot water.
After they were put away, Kingfisher ordered the two men to retreat and knelt in front of Lin Rong: "County Lord, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Rong shook his head and asked, "Isn't it difficult for you?"
