Da Suining

Chapter 136
This jade pendant has been with Lu Yu for many years.

When he was born, he was still a child who was waiting to be fed, lying in the swaddle, snow-white and chubby, he was really cute, and the flowers bloomed.

Physician Lu was too excited to be a father for the first time, so he discussed with Mrs. Zhuang and spent 40 taels of silver to buy a jade pendant of excellent quality.

You must know that Imperial Physician Lu is a medical officer and has never believed in gods and Buddhas.In his world, birth, old age, sickness and death are like a fall of grass and trees, and sickness is not something that offends the Bodhisattva or has not accumulated virtue in the previous life, it is just a physical illness.

He is more willing to believe in doctors, who can relieve people's pain, which is immediate.

But he couldn't stop his son from being secretly happy, and Mrs. Zhuang really wanted to ask Lu Yu for safety, so Physician Lu followed suit.

That day, after adding five taels of incense oil money, he consecrated the jade pendant, and after returning from the temple, he gave the jade pendant to Lu Yu to wear.

In these years, apart from occasionally storing the jade pendant in a box, most of the time the jade pendant was on Lu Yu's body.

This is his talisman.

How could the drug dealers go all over the place without seeing it?
It's just unexpected that Lu Yu was so willing to use the medicinal materials to take out the jade pendant for body protection as a silver envoy.

The remaining Dendrobium candidum naturally belonged to Lu Yu.

The peddler took out another two taels of silver as change: "This son's jade pendant is not an ordinary thing. You used it to buy my medicinal materials. Don't you regret it?"

Lu Yu took the two taels of silver and stuffed it into his wallet: "I regret many things, and I don't care about one more thing."

"Dare to ask my lord, what is the use of buying so many dendrobium dendrobium?"

It is rare for a pharmacy to use such a large amount of dendrobium.

Obviously, the peddler was still ignorant of the situation in Qingcheng.

The medicinal materials market is as lively as usual for those who buy and sell medicinal materials.

Lu Yu was still considering whether to remind the peddler to wear a face scarf or something, but the peddler laughed first: "You guys are wearing face scarves all the time, don't you feel bored? You must have heard those rumors, right?"

"What rumour?"

"It is said that some people in Qingcheng got a strange disease, they were very sick, they seemed to be possessed by ghosts, and they talked nonsense, which seemed very scary."

"Where did you hear that?"

"As far as this medicine market is concerned, there are several people who are spreading the word. I came to sell Dendrobium officinale early in the morning, and I heard several people say this." I don't hide it either, as far as I can tell, most of these rumors are false. Perhaps someone spread these rumors in order to sell more medicinal materials. Think about it, wouldn't the price of medicinal materials go up if it spread like this?"

"What if... it's not a rumor?"

"Impossible. I know Qingcheng very well, and I can touch it with my eyes closed. Just a few months ago, a group of refugees came. Since then, Qingcheng has spread some dubious news every day. If you want to rebel, you will say that the refugees are going to steal. You see, now it is said that there are people in Qingcheng who are seriously ill and can be contagious. In my opinion, there is no need to believe it. What should I do? Qingcheng is not safe now Is it? The patients mentioned died of bleeding or diarrhea, who saw it?”

Some things don't exist without seeing them.

The peddler smiled slyly; "Master, I am hoarding so many medicinal materials, I am afraid that I have believed the rumors? Don't be afraid, the sky will not fall, but the rumors are good. In the past, my precious Dendrobium may not be able to sell for ten and a half months. It's over, now you can take care of everything by yourself, and save me the trouble of shouting."

The medicinal materials have been bought, and there is one more thing to buy.

Xiang Suining and Lu Yu walked for a cup of tea with the medicinal materials in hand, and they saw a stall selling cooking cakes.

The pancakes were made golden, and the sweet smell of malt could be smelled from a long distance away.

The biscuits are made on the street, and each one is hot. When you open the cover on the biscuits, you can see a wisp of smoke wafting out in vain.

Lu Yu took out his silver and bought more than ten cooking cakes.

The hot cooking cakes are wrapped in yellow paper bags, which are heavy.

Lu Yu was holding the medicinal materials, and Xiang Suining was holding the cooking cakes.

The two walked one after the other, the smell of cooking cakes penetrated into Xiang Suining's nose.

Xiang Suining swallowed.

Lu Yu walked ahead, and laughed when he heard the sound of swallowing.

"Xiang Er, why don't you eat cooking cakes?"

"Isn't this bought for patients?"

"It's okay, you eat secretly, I pretend I didn't see it."

Xiang Suining thought of the pitiful state of the patient lying in the warehouse, so he couldn't bear to eat the pancakes.

"As for cooking cakes, we buy a lot. Those few patients, except Wang Zhang, still have some appetite. The others are afraid that they won't be able to eat anything. They vomit like that. The diarrhea has just stopped and they won't have any appetite. Therefore, You can eat a biscuit."

"Really?"

"It can't be any more true. Try those biscuits. I bought five salty ones and five sweet ones."

Xiang Suining picked a sweet taste, took a small bite, and left a row of shallow tooth marks on the cake. The cake was soft and fragrant, mainly because it was so sweet, it could touch people's hearts go.

"Is it delicious?" Lu Yu asked.

Xiang Suining nodded.

"Let me taste it." Lu Yu turned his head.

Xiang Suining wanted to get him a pancake, but unexpectedly Lu Yu lowered his head and took a bite from the pancake she had eaten, which happened to hit her tooth mark.

On top of her shallow teeth marks, there is a row of big teeth marks.

Tooth marks overlap, deep and shallow.

Xiang Suining was a little embarrassed: "Then... this..."

"It tastes so good. So sweet where you bit into it."

"you--"

"You are not willing to let me eat your cooking cake?"

"no--"

"why?"

"oops."

"I see, I just bit the place where you bit, didn't I?"

Xiang Suining nodded.

Lu Yu lowered his head again, and bit a row of teeth marks on the pancake again: "Look, this is where I just bit, if you feel disadvantaged, you bite on my teeth marks."

Xiang Suining blushed.

She blushed like red fruit just washed out of the plate.

Lu Yu was stunned when he looked at it, and when he let go of his hand, the bag of Dendrobium candidum fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the peddler tied up the mouth of the bag with hemp rope, otherwise the medicinal materials would be scattered.

"Look at what I do, take care of your medicinal materials."

"You look better than medicine."

He's just so unruly.

When the fire is imminent, there is no way to speak.

It is estimated that when you were beaten as a child, you would count while counting without crying, right?
"Lu Yu, your protective jade pendant is gone."

"It's okay, it's worth it for this small bag of Dendrobium officinale."

"The protective jade pendant is to protect you, what can we do without the jade pendant?"

"Yeah, without the protective jade pendant, what should I do in case of illness or disaster in the future?" Lu Yu shook the yellow paper bag in Xiang Suining's arms, "Otherwise, Xiang Er, protect me?"

"I can't even protect myself, how can I protect you?"

"Then... I will protect you." Lu Yu smiled: "I will protect you just like protecting those patients, are you willing?"

Without waiting for Xiang Suining to answer, Lu Yu rushed to reply: "If you don't speak, you are willing."

amount.

The patients in Min'antang just took the medicine not long ago, and the next time they take the medicine will be an hour later.

Taking advantage of this time, the two decided to take a stroll in Qingcheng.

Naturally, it is not to look at the scenery along the street, but to see if there is anything unusual in Qingcheng.

I went to three or four pharmacies in a carriage, but got nothing.

Most of the time, the doctor sits at the consultation table, squints his eyes to take the patient's pulse, or writes a prescription at the desk, while the guys talk leisurely behind the cabinet, or weigh the medicinal materials.

The total number of patients in these three or four pharmacies is only two or three.

There was a pharmacy with no business, the workers were idle and bored, and they were still standing at the door to distribute wild chrysanthemums. The chrysanthemums were picked and dried, the golden color was dazzling, and when they shook, there was a rustling sound, and they were extremely soft to the touch. Yes, the guys were tidying up the wild chrysanthemums and yelling: "Wild chrysanthemums are given away for free, one pack per person, first come, first served, soak in water, it can clear the mind and eyesight, remove fire and reduce inflammation."

There is no business in the pharmacy, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The juggling by the overpass was hearty. A strong man held a red-tasseled spear and pointed the spearhead at the neck of another strong man. The spearhead was extremely sharp and had a cold light. If it was an ordinary person, it would probably be able to penetrate the flesh in one go. The strong man just With a sound of "Hey", when he exerted force, the red-tasseled gun against his throat was bent, but he was unscathed.

The dancer was wearing a bright purple layered skirt with a pair of silver pointed boots.Her white and tender arms and chest are exposed, strands of silver ornaments hang from her hair, her hands are covering her face, her fingers are open, and those seductive eyes look out from between her fingers. Checked off.

A man eating oranges stared at the dancer. The dancer hooked her fingers at him, and the oranges in his mouth sprayed out.

The fortune teller under the overpass still dozed off without doing his job, and not many people came to him for fortune telling. He watched the performance on the overpass and drank a pot of tea, and he became sleepy.

Someone actually beat mahjong to the side of the moat, rubbing mahjong, smoking hookah, four people sat facing each other, the player who played cards excitedly slapped the table: "I won this game, I played for myself, and I played a yo'er!" chicken."

The other person turned over his cards and looked at them, laughing so hard that his stomach hurts: "What kind of cock are you, this is obviously a pot, you are bluffing and losing money."

Someone was also holding up a golden birdcage covered with a layer of gray cloth. He walked unsteadily with his hands behind his back, lifted the gray cloth from time to time, and whistled at the canaries in the cage.The canary was frightened, flapping its wings and trying to fly away, but unfortunately it was locked in a cage and fell back again.

The man kept walking while yelling: "Let's give up, the birds in my cage are expensive, seven or two, if they are damaged, I won't be able to compensate you."

Everything is still the same.

Sitting in the carriage, you can smell the water and grass in the moat.

You can also smell the atmosphere of this crowded market.

The sweetness of hawthorn, the sourness of bean juice, the aroma of barbecue, and the freshness of fruit, were carried by the wind into the carriage.

Even the wind is a familiar smell.

Qingcheng was like a huge scroll, unhurriedly unfolding in front of Xiang Suining.

Somewhat strange.

Obviously those people in Min'an Hall are so seriously ill.

But they seemed the only ones who were seriously ill.

Others seem to have nothing to do with it.

This Qingcheng, from the city gate to the roof, to the singing of birds, to the clouds in the sky, is full of ease.

The carriage stopped at a bridge hole outside the city.

Xiang Suining was always worried.

She was afraid of the danger of the refugees.

Looking at the dirty river and the wormwood everywhere, Lu Yu felt a little strange: "Xiang Er, come... for an outing?"

"Come to meet a friend."

"Anyone else here?"

Before the words fell, I heard a joyful voice from the river ditch: "Girl, is that you? Are you here?"

Different from the vigilance last time, Caihong crawled out along the ditch with the laundry tub in his hand, trying to pull Xiang Suining, but found that the basin was still hugging his waist, Caihong smiled and said, "It sounds like a girl's voice from a distance, I didn't expect it to be a girl, I haven't seen a girl for a few days, and this time I finally see her."

"Are you ok?"

"Okay, okay. Miss, please sit in the cave. These days, the child's father is helping to take the child to play in the suburbs. I have cleaned up the bridge hole much more neatly. Unlike last time, there are cockroaches and mice. Girl, go in Sit down, I'll pour tea for the girl, it's just been cooked."

"Next time." Seeing that she was safe and sound, Xiang Suining was relieved a lot: "Are you all okay? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all fine."

"Seldom go to the city recently."

Regarding Xiang Suining's instructions, Caihong obeyed. Although she didn't understand why Xiang Suining made such a special order, she must have her own reasons.

"If you have to go to the city, you must also wear a mask and protect yourself." Lu Yu also reminded.

"Yes, yes, you must wear a face mask." Caihong listened to Xiang Suining's words. Lu Yu came with Xiang Suining, and he was a good person after all. She was willing to listen to his words.

The refugees are fine.

Thank goodness.

What else could they do?

Rainbow wants to stay with Suining: "Why is the girl leaving when she comes? You don't even drink a little tea? I was washing clothes at the bottom of the river just now, and I hurried up when I heard the girl's voice. I wanted to talk to the girl more. It's rare." The girl came back, such a long way, she didn't even sit down..."

"There's still something to do in the city, so don't delay. See you next time." Xiang Suining got into the carriage, and Lu Yu got into the carriage too. The coachman put down the curtain and flicked the whip, and the horse started to move.

Rainbow had already put a towel on her face, it was a simple face towel, and when Suining wanted to leave, her eyes were red: "Girl, although I don't know what happened, but you must take care of yourself, you must Be good."

The mountains are full of green grass.

River water soup.

The carriage was driving on the uneven mountain road, and the bumps were a bit uncomfortable.

Xiang Suining tried his best to hold back, so he didn't spit it out.

Lu Yu noticed all this, silently took out two pieces of tangerine peel from his sleeve and put it on her lips.

The tangerine peel is sweet, with a hint of sourness, smelling it, it is much more comfortable.

"I didn't expect you to have friends in this kind of place."

"They are refugees, forced by life, that's why they are like this."

"If Mr. Zhou can have the awareness and vigilance of a refugee, the people of Qingcheng will be saved."
