Mother Yi went to tell Aunt Ming, and Xiao Ming entered the study alone. He sat down and opened the letter in his hand. Each of the thick pages was filled with Min Fangqi's own handwriting. When he took it down one by one, Xiao Ming His frown gradually tightened. He read it over and over again, then looked away for a while and fell into deep thought.
It turned out to be a case. Brother Min wrote it in detail. The poisoning was getting worse, the body was weak, and he was suffering from worry. He had already reached the point of sunset, but the patient was very young.
In addition to her illness, the senior brother also wanted her to go to the capital.
Mother Yi brought tea in and found the girl deep in thought. She couldn't help but slow down and walk to Xiao Ming's side and said softly: "Girl, the boy who came back from delivering a letter for Doctor Min wants to see you."
Only then did Xiao Ming come back to her senses, nodded and said, "Let him in."
When Xiao Ming saw the person coming, he realized that this person was actually Min Fangqi's attendant Sanzhu, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to this matter.
"Excuse me, Doctor Xiao." Sanzhu bowed.
"Sanzhu, stop being so polite and sit down quickly. Is Brother Min okay?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Thank you, Dr. Xiao, for your concern. I am in good health." Sanzhu took only half a seat on the chair beside him and glanced at Mother Yi who was serving him tea. He knew that this person was a trusted steward around Xiao Ming. , and then he said: "The master is in the capital now. He is busy with business and will not be able to come back for a while. There is a master who is very ill. The master wants to invite Dr. Xiao to the capital for discussion. Master Mingzhen from the Huguo Temple is also here. Please come to Beijing to have a talk with Dr. Xiao and discuss medical principles together."
Master Mingzhen invited her, and Xiao Ming's eyes lit up. This was a big temptation. Xiao Ming almost agreed. But when she thought of the children who had disappeared unexpectedly, she calmed down instantly. She didn't want to go anywhere. .
As everyone knows, when Mother Yi heard that Xiao Ming was going to the capital, her hands clasped in front of her suddenly moved, and her heart started to beat, capital! How long had it been since she heard these two words.
"I'm afraid it won't work these days. There are so many things going on at home and in the medicine hall that I can't get away from it." In the end, Xiao Ming refused. Compared with the distant capital, she would rather seize the moment.
Sanzhu was a little disappointed when he heard this. His master was having a hard time in the capital, and he really hoped that there would be a capable person to help him. It would be a pity that Xiao Ming couldn't go, but Sanzhu immediately said, "I also know that Doctor Xiao is very busy with work." Before leaving, the master specifically told me that I must ask Dr. Xiao to come up with a treatment plan for me to take back with me."
Xiao Ming condensed and felt that the pages in her hand were extremely heavy. I am afraid that Senior Brother Min had already expected that she would not go to the capital, so he asked her to come up with a plan. What kind of person did Senior Brother Min value so much? Even Master Mingzhen moved out.
However, Xiao Ming still nodded and said: "This is natural, senior brother mentioned it in the letter, please think about it."
"The matter is urgent, please come as soon as possible, Doctor Xiao." Sanzhu stood up and bowed again, obviously very anxious.
Xiao Ming: "..." Chase after me!
"Okay, I'll do it early tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, miss. I also asked Dr. Xiao to go to the capital when he is free. This way, face-to-face consultation can be more effective."
"Okay, I'll consider it."
After dismissing Sanzhu, Yi's mother hesitated and said, "Girl, do you really want to go to the capital?"
Xiao Ming looked at the letter in a daze, and then said after a while: "Senior Brother Min has invited me again and again, I'm afraid I have to go to the capital." She was also worried that Senior Brother Min would pay so much attention to such an eager person, and his status could only be high or low. Not a little bit of trouble.
Treating such people is easier than treating ordinary people. If you are not careful, you will get burned.
Mother Yi moved her lips when she heard this, wanting to say something. The capital was not an easy place to be, and they had come out in a state of embarrassment back then.
After a while, Aunt Ming came in, with a smile on her face, rubbing her hands to greet Xiao Ming, and told her about the missing child: "That family was also unlucky. All the adults went out to work, and only a grandmother was watching. The child He took out the kitchen knife on the stove to play with and somehow smeared it on his neck. He was already dead when he found out. The family was so sad that they cried because they had to give birth to five or six girls to have such a precious egg. .....”
"Do you know how old the children are?" Xiao Ming interrupted Aunt Ming who was talking endlessly. If she had continued talking like this, she would have been able to explain in detail how the seven aunts and eight aunts were sad.
"Uh." This question stopped Aunt Ming. She didn't know how old the child was, so she could only shake her head: "I really don't know that."
Xiao Ming pondered, is this really a surprise?
Seeing that Xiao Ming had stopped talking, Aunt Ming couldn't help but think about it and asked, "Young lady, I asked the old lady to come here, but what do you have to explain?"
"It's not a big deal. In the past two days, you asked Uncle Ming to drive around the nearby villages of Shiliba and find out what accident happened to someone's family, especially the children. They were lost, gone, how come they were lost? How old are you? Tell me if there are any strangers coming in or out of the ten miles and eight villages." Xiao Ming said, but she didn't want Mother Yi and Aunt Ming to think she was making a fuss, so she explained: "Yesterday I also heard that several children died in the city, some drowned, and some died in accidents. We have schools now and there are many children, so we have to pay more attention when encountering things to avoid these accidents."
Mother Yi and Aunt Ming both nodded, and Aunt Ming promised: "Don't worry, girl, I'll ask our old man to drive there right away." Aunt Ming's eyes lit up, she was finally able to go out and hang out openly, and came to Xiao's house. Every day she was either cooking or cleaning the yard, and her days were so idle that she was almost getting moldy. The girl finally told her the work, and she had to do it well.
I must have found out all the eighteen generations of my ancestors.
Aunt Ming went out in a hurry. Xiao Ming looked up at Mother Yi who was standing aside and said quickly: "Mother Yi, sit down and talk. There are no such rules in this family. You don't have to stand every time."
"Thank you, girl, for your consideration." Mother Yi sat aside obediently. She would not offend the girl's kindness when no one was around, but she would never sit down when other people were around. She is the chief steward of the house and sets an example. She has to set the rules.
"Go to Qingshan Academy and tell Village Chief Liu and a few gentlemen to ask them to keep an eye on the children. There are many children in the Academy and they are at a naughty age. Ask them to pay more attention when they are playing. Shui You are not allowed to go to any dangerous places such as the edges or high places. We also ask parents of all students to pick them up from and to school, and then say hello to the villagers and be careful of strangers entering the village."
"Yes." Mother Yi nodded. Knowing that Xiao Ming took this matter seriously, she also took it seriously. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Girl, what should I do if someone doesn't want to pick her up? After all, the farmers are busy."
Xiao Ming's face straightened up, and she said in a tone that could not be refused: "Now that the autumn harvest has passed more than a month early, how busy can it be? Can't even spare the time? If not, don't send it."
"We must have a strong attitude and require transportation to and from school. If someone takes advantage of this to cause trouble, their children will never be accepted."
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away." Mother Yi nodded seriously when she heard this. She was really afraid that some parents would come to make trouble, but she felt relieved when the girl said this. When she was about to leave, she was beaten by Xiao Ming. Stop shouting.
"Now that Xiao Han is not here and Mao Mao is not here, I really can't worry about Yu'er sleeping in the same yard as Tiandong. When Yi Feng comes back, let him move to Xiao Yu's yard and stay alert at night, so that I can feel more at ease. , and ask Uncle Ming to take people on inspections a few more times at night."
When Yi's mother heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ming in shock. The girl was too cautious.
Being looked at by Yi's mother with such eyes, Xiao Ming couldn't help but coughed slightly and explained: "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake, just arrange it like this!" Xiao Ming stood up: "I will go to the pharmacy right away to prepare the medicine. If nothing happens, don't let anyone come. Please bother me, especially Xiangyuan.”
After a pause, he then said: "If she insists on looking for me? Just let her do her homework first. The number should be twice as much as that of Yunling and Xiaoyu. She can't remember it all the time."
Mother Yi: "..." Poor Miss Jiang!
The girl's move was too cruel. Did she predict that Miss Jiang would come back to find her? I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Good Doctor", follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, chat about life, and find close friends~
