When Fang Ke came out of the house, it was past the third quarter of the year, the sun was setting, and the crow-green Chengshan Mountain stood solemn and silent under the bloody sky.
The hospital was empty, and Fang was startled for a moment. Then he remembered that Lin Sui'an had told him during the day that he had to go to the county government office, but he didn't expect that he hadn't come back after being away for so long.
No one else came back either.
Fang Ke sat behind the counter, fiddling with the abacus out of boredom. Since coming to Cheng County, he had never treated a single patient, and the account books were empty. Fang Ke got tired of fiddling with the abacus after a few times, and looked at the rain outside the house.
It rains a lot in Qingzhou. The raindrops are lingering and soaking silently. They gradually gather on the tiles and drip along the eaves with a tinkling sound. It turns out that this medical clinic is so big. Because of Hua Yitang's trick, it was crowded with noisy people watching the show a few days ago. At that time, I thought this main hall was too small.
The wind blew in, the rain turned into mist and spread in the house, and a faint light shone on the floor. Suddenly, he recalled that the dilapidated medical center in Heyue City seemed to be so quiet and lonely.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps ran in through the rain. Ita shook the water droplets on her umbrella, and her pure blond hair illuminated the darkness, "Oh shit, worry."
This sentence quickly pulled Fang Ke away from the sad atmosphere. He frowned and said, "Don't imitate Hua Yitang's speech. It's not good."
Ita nodded obediently and sighed, "Making tea with Xiaoyu, selling tea, no one drinks it, anxious, anxious, Xiaoyu is not anxious, I am anxious."
Fang Ke: "..."
This kid was too honest. In order to repay Xiaoyu's favor of introducing Hua Yitang to Qiu Bo, he actually accompanied Xiaoyu and sold flowers tea for a whole day. But judging from this, the business was not very good.
"What news did you get?"
Ita shook his head: "No one drinks tea, so anxious."
"..."
"It's better than me," Mu Xia walked in, and the business smile on her face turned into exhaustion, "I visited all day long, and all I heard was useless news. Someone's dog died in Onobo. , so and so’s chickens in Zhenzefang stopped laying eggs, and so and so’s cat in Yunmengfang ate a dead mouse and died inexplicably. What’s worse, some people said that the donkey at home lost its hair and became unsightly bald. Please ask me for advice. Doctor, do you have any secret recipe for making donkeys grow hair?"
Fang Ke and Ita: "..."
"I'm the worst offender!" Jin Ruo walked in weakly, grabbed the pastry on the counter and stuffed it into his mouth, pouring water while stuffing it. "I walked from the east to the west of the city, and from the north to the city all day long. In the south of the city, I found dozens of old men and women asking about the legend of the Dragon God. These old guys were really amazing. Either they were so frightened that they wanted to knock two of them on the spot when the Dragon God was mentioned, or they kept silent and ran away, and they had a bad temper. I was irritable, saying that I was disrespectful to the Dragon God, and wanted to beat me with a cane. Fortunately, I ran fast. I am starving, Mu Xia, is there anything to eat?"
Mu Xia had no choice but to go back to the back hall and bring out three more plates of pastries, "Save some for Shiro."
Jin Ruo picked up a plate of Jili Gulu and poured it into his mouth, "Fortunately, I gained something. I met an old man in Dalufang. He was probably too old and confused. He heard me ask about the Dragon God, and he started chatting with me. He kept talking, most of which were nonsense, but there was one very crucial sentence. He said -" Jin Ruo pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice, "When he was a child, there was no Dragon God Temple on Chengshan Mountain."
Fang Ke: "How old is the old man?"
Jin Ruo raised two fingers and said, "Eighty at most."
Mu Xia: "In other words, the rumors that the Dragon God Temple has a history of a thousand years are not true? The Dragon God Temple was only built for eighty years at most."
Fang Ke: "Since the construction history of Dragon God Temple can be faked, then all the legends about Dragon God Temple may also be false."
Jin Ruo: "Hey, maybe even the appearance of the Dragon God is fake."
Etta: "It's all fake."
Everyone looked at each other with excited expressions.
Jin Ruo looked around, "Where's Master? She must be happy to hear the news."
Fang Ke: "Ms. Lin said that she would go to the county government office to visit Master Zhu——"
Fang Ke suddenly stopped talking. He stared out the door with his eyes wide open, as if he saw some horrifying sight. When everyone looked back, they were also shocked.
Lin Sui'an slowly walked over from under the dark sky, with a burnt yellow oil-paper umbrella blooming behind her back. It was just an ordinary bamboo bone paper umbrella, but she couldn't hold the umbrella with one hand at all, so she could only hold it with both hands. The handle of the umbrella maintained balance because there were several circles of bandages tied on her ten fingers, which were all white and frightening.
Jin Ruo was shocked and rushed out, "Master, are you injured?!"
Lin Sui'an smiled bitterly and asked Jin Ruo to come in and stop yelling and disturbing the people outside.
Fang's face was very ugly. He pulled Lin Sui'an to sit down and quickly took off the bandage on Lin Sui'an's hand. The speed was so fast that Lin Sui'an didn't even have time to stop him.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked.
Lin Sui'an's ten fingers were covered with dense pinholes, some were very deep, bleeding and scabbed, and some were very shallow, with only small red spots.
Fang Ke: "Is this - acupuncture? Could it be acupuncture torture?!"
Jin Ruo exploded on the spot: "That damn bastard dares to execute my master? I chopped off eighteen generations of his ancestors!"
Mu Xia was about to faint: "Oh my mother, Shiro will probably go crazy when he sees this."
Ita was so anxious that she was spinning around: "Pig, huh, huh, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Lin Sui'an: "Ahem, I accidentally stabbed it myself."
Everyone: "..."
Lin Sui'an really couldn't say it, "I found out there was a problem in Simian Village, so I made an excuse to ask Zhu County Lieutenant's mother to take me to Simian Village to work. I thought I would lurk and investigate slowly, but I didn't expect that the mother working in Simian Village would The requirement is embroidery..." Lin Sui'an scratched his head awkwardly with his knuckles, "I'm not good at female beauty, and I'm eager for success. I accidentally ended up like this..."
It's really embarrassing to say that I didn't embroider even a single thing, and because I couldn't control my strength, I broke dozens of needles, and the dyed embroidery cloth was covered with blood spots. The embroidery ladies around me really couldn't stand it. Lin Sui'an was pressed down to help her bandage up like this. It wasn't a serious injury at all. Lin Sui'an wanted to secretly remove it on the way, but her ten fingers were tied so hard that she couldn't bend them, and there was a curfew. The time was coming, Wuxia delayed, and could only escape back in such a mess - it was really shameless to see Jiangdong's elders.
Mu Xia and Yita looked at each other, Jin Ruo gave a thumbs up, "As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, and you can endure such heartbreaking pain. Master is indeed a hero in the world, and my disciple admires him!"
Fang Ke rolled his eyes, "A few pinholes, but it won't die. What kind of wrapping is it? It's a waste of bandages. Loosen it and let it breathe. It will heal after a sleep."
Lin Sui'an laughed dryly.
She didn't want to, but those embroiderers insisted on bandaging her. Thinking about it now, they were probably afraid that she would continue to mess with needles, threads and fabrics.
"Can you one or two make people worry less and be more self-aware!" Fang Ke said angrily, "And Hua Yitang——"
Speaking of this, there was a moment of pause, and everyone was excited at the same time.
Lin Sui'an came back to his senses, "Isn't Hua Yitang back yet?"
Jin Ruo scratched his head: "I have an ominous premonition."
Etta: "Me, too."
Mu Xia was about to cry: "Silang-"
Lin Suianteng stood up and said, "I'll go to Xiande Manor to have a look."
"Can Mu Tang live here?" A loud roar came from the street, like thunder, and a pagoda-like man bent down and entered the hospital carrying something. "I am Qiu Laoba from Xiande Village. The people were sent back.”
As he spoke, he swung the thing on his shoulder and threw it over. Lin Sui'an's pupils shrank violently, and he stepped forward to hold it firmly with both hands. It turned out to be Hua Yitang. His whole body was muddy, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his arms were soft. It fell softly, like a lifeless white jade porcelain doll.
Lin Sui'an stood up and rolled with murderous intent, and his clothes flew up with a bang, "What did you do to him?!"
Qiu Laoba was so shocked that he took half a step back, "In the conscience of heaven and earth, I didn't touch him at all. He fainted for no reason. I kindly sent him here. You can't rely on the strength of people to fight against each other!"
Fang Ke pinched Hua Yitang's pulse door and held his breath for a moment. The expression on his face was indescribable, "I'm not injured, I just fainted -" Hua Yitang's stomach made a series of "gurgles", and Fang Ke added, " hungry."
"It really has nothing to do with me! I'm leaving!" Qiu Laoba ran away quickly.
Everyone: "..."
Jin Ruo grabbed a piece of pastry and slapped it on Hua Yitang's forehead, saying with great disgust: "Hua Fantong, get up and eat!"
Hua Yitang sat cross-legged on the futon, tearing the leg of lamb with both hands at a terrifying speed, eating until his eyes glowed green, reflecting the flickering candlelight, which was worse than a will-o'-the-wisp.
On the table was a leg of lamb that Mu Xia had cooked as quickly as possible using all his knowledge. He only washed it once with water. The whole leg of lamb was placed in a large iron pot, covered with water, and cooked over medium and low heat alternately. When it is nine-mature, add a little salt, wait until the meat is rotten, then scoop it out, or cut it into pieces with a knife, or tear the meat with your hands and eat it with imported pepper and fresh garlic to remove the mutton. vegetable".
Hua Yitang's speed was so fast that a whole roasted leg of lamb was reduced to bones in just a moment. Jin Ruo swallowed his saliva and said, "Hua, please eat slowly, and no one will compete with you."
Mu Xia burst into tears and gave Hua Yitang two more steamed cakes, "Look, my Shiro is so hungry that he has lost weight."
Everyone: "..."
I just missed one meal, so it’s not that big of a deal.
Hua Yitang ate a large steamed leg of lamb, ten steamed cakes, drank two bowls of mutton soup, and added three plates of cakes. Finally, she was full. She washed her hands with soapy water and was satisfied. She took out a small fan and shook it. After two shakes, he suddenly stood up and yelled, "What a piece of shit! There are no donkeys who work like this! It's just a bunch of chores, but they don't let people have enough to eat. I have never seen such shameless people." Humans! What is unbearable? When this case is over, I will lock them all in a bird cage. They can only eat chaffy vegetables every day. I will find a group of people outside the cage to eat meat every day and starve them to death! "
Fang Ke rolled his eyes: "Outcome——"
Lin Sui'an held his chin and sorted out Hua Yitang's hard experience today: According to Hua Yitang's description of Xiande Village, it is impossible to enter the village just relying on the introduction of acquaintances. You also need to pass an interview assessment. The assessment standards are approximately: Being honest and enduring hardships, long-lasting endurance, and martial arts are not necessary, but they are definitely bonus points.
Lin Sui'an raised the corners of his lips and asked, "Hua Yitang, can you embroider?"
After cursing, Hua Yitang felt a lot calmer. Just leaning on the pillow to catch his breath, he was startled when Lin Sui'an asked, "Huh?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to embroider," Lin Sui'an said, "I guess it will be easy for you to draw some embroidery patterns of plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, right?"
Hua Yitang suddenly became proud, flapped his small fan, and gave Mu Xia a look.
Mu Xia took a step forward and introduced with a straight posture: "Hua Family Silang is the best painter in Yangdu City. He is excellent in grass and tree pictures, flower and bird pictures, figure pictures, and landscape pictures. The best embroidery patterns sold by Hua Family are all It is no exaggeration to say that Shiro’s manuscripts supported half of Hua’s embroidery workshop.”
Ita gave a thumbs up: "Shiro Huahua is so majestic."
Lin Sui'an hammered his palm, "That's very good. Hua Yitang, you and I will change tomorrow. I will go to Xiande Village and you will go to Simian Village."
"I don't want it!" Hua Yitang muttered, "There are women all around the village. I am a tall and dignified man standing tall on the ground. What's going on among the women?!"
Mu Xia: "Silang, the overall situation is our top priority."
Hua Yitang's head shakes into a wave drum.
Fang Ke and Jin Ruo looked at each other.
Jin Ruo: "Master, that's not appropriate. With a person named Hua who has fair skin, beauty, and a fragile body, if she went to Simian Village, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, letting others slaughter her, and never coming back?"
Hua Yitang was furious: "Xiao Jin Ruo, who are you scolding? After all, I am also a playboy. I walk among flowers and never touch a leaf, but I have practiced for many years - ahem, the ability to keep myself clean -"
Fang Ke: "Hua Yitang is right. He is the number one dandy in Yangdu. He is best at socializing with women. He should not be so weak and useless."
Hua Yitang: "...Why doesn't this sound like -"
Lin Sui'an nodded solemnly: "What Doctor Fang said is true, Hua Yitang, I believe you."
[Hua Yitang, I believe in you. 】
【I believe you--】
【trust you……】
Layers of echoes floated into Hua Yitang's ears, like listening to fairy music, and her ears suddenly became clear. Before Hua Yitang's mind could catch up, the word "good" had already escaped from her mouth, and she felt as if she was being caught by something bright and bright. The thing was so lost that it took him a moment to realize that Lin Sui'an was smiling at him.
It was night, when Hua Yitang was lying on the bed tossing and turning and reminiscing, he suddenly realized——
He actually fell into Lin Sui'an's beauty trap!
small theater:
Lin Sui'an: Hahahaha, Hua Yitang, you also had a day when you were fooled, how cool!
Mu Xia: Oh, I forgot to tell Shi Lang that Mrs. Lin’s hand was injured. Big mistake! :,,
