Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 7
Following the topic of the crabapple tree, the two began to chat with each other about interesting things about their childhood, laughing and joking along the way. When they saw a few cabins in the distance, Xie Ruitang and Cheng Haitang seemed to have known each other for a long time. generally.

"It's rare that you and I get along like this. Don't call me son, and I won't call you girl. How about we call you by our first names?" Xie San suggested: "You call me Xie San, and I'll call you Haitang."

Haitang tilted her head with crooked eyebrows and thought about it, with an indescribable playful expression: "Okay, thank third brother!"

Xie San's heart felt as if a ton of black gunpowder had been thrown into it and it exploded. It was such an electric surprise that Haitang gave him more than he imagined!

Haitang walked towards the hut in three steps and two steps at a time, shouting as he walked: "Master! Master! I'm back~" Before her door opened, a young man who looked like sixteen or seventeen years old came out of the neighbor's house next door. , dressed in a bamboo green outfit, with healthy wheat-colored skin, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a hanging nose and thin lips, he is most energetic and lively.

Haitang greeted him: "Brother Mingze, where is my master?"

When Mingze saw the three people behind Haitang, they didn't answer in a hurry, but there was a look of alarm on his face.He looked at Haitang with questioning eyes.

Haitang hurriedly explained: "This is Mr. Xie from Kyoto. They were traveling to Lingnan and passed by Yueling. They were poisoned by snake venom just now and were injured again. I took him back to apply medicine."

"Injured?" Mingze grasped an important point.

"It was the injury caused by the board. It was done by the yamen master." Haitang explained.Xie Sanxin said, which yamen dares to beat the king, I did not say the latter sentence!
Mingze's eyes were still suspicious, but his expression softened a little. He walked over and took Ling Feng and the others to the back of the house to tie the horses.When passing by Haitang, he paused, raised his hand to take a leaf from Haitang's head, looked at her, and said softly, "Where did you go crazy so early in the morning? Your master and my father are at the other side of the waterfall." .”

Xie San's heart tightened, this Feng Mingze didn't seem simple.In the previous life, I only heard that Xie Si brought such a person back to his hometown, but he never saw him later.He took a step forward and clasped his fists and said, "I'm Xie Ruitang, there are a lot of disturbances when passing by here."

"Feng Mingze." Mingze also clasped his fists and said.He glanced at Haitang again and walked towards Ling Feng and Ling Yun.

Xie San followed Haitang into the main room. The main room was not big, but because there were large windows on both sides of the door, the room looked very bright. Such a layout is rare in Lingnan.The furniture is simple but complete, and you can tell at a glance that the owner is a particular person.

Haitang led Xie San into the wing room on the left. The room was clean with a couch and a table, and the medicine pipes on the entire wall were very conspicuous.Xie San laughed and said, "Is this a place where you treat people?"

"No, this is the place where my master and I study and make medicine. We rarely have outsiders come here. I always go to the town to treat people. I have a fixed place there." Look carefully, there is a row of cabinets at the end of the kang. There are two rows of books neatly placed.

"Did your master go to the town to see a doctor?" Xie San took out a book to read, it was "Zi Wu Liu Zhu Jing".

Haitang shook her head, her expression was a little lonely: "Master never sees a doctor, he just teaches me and asks me to see others. Master doesn't have many friends either, and Uncle Feng next door is his only friend. He... doesn't like being disturbed."

Xie San asked carefully: "Then...will your master be angry if you bring me back?..."

"Of course I will be angry!" A vigorous old man in Xuanyi answered the door.

Haitang hurriedly rushed forward: "Master! It's all my fault. This young master was poisoned by snake venom because of me, so I have to compensate him, right? Then I brought him back for treatment..." Xie San felt sad for a while: What will happen next? What should I do if my daughter is dead?If everyone turned their elbows outward like her mother, wouldn't she be so mad at him? !
"Lie down and let me see where the injury is?" the master said, pointing to the couch.

Xie San quickly took off his outer robe, unbuttoned his middle coat, and lay down on the kang.Well, as long as I'm not kicked out on the spot.

Lifting up his middle coat, Xie San's wounds on his back and waist were exposed. Some of the wounds were soaked with pus, making them look hideous.Now Xie San really loves Xie Si to death. If he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have been beaten, so what else could he use to make a fool of himself?His only regret is that he took medicine himself in the past two days...

"I was hit with a board." The master asked, "What mistake did you make?"

"The younger generation's biological mother is the eldest daughter, and has little status in the family. The aunt and the younger generation's half-brother often bully the younger generation, finding faults for no reason, and asking the eccentric father to punish the younger generation..." Xie San explained sincerely.

Mingze came in later and stood aside: Where is the Yamen master that we agreed on?
Ling Feng: It was obviously you who made the first move.

Haitang: Huh?Could it be said that those who work at home can be as ruthless as the Yamen?

"It's just a skin injury. Clean it up, give him some medicine and let him go." The master turned around and said to Haitang, and walked out of the ear room with his hands behind his back.

Haitang looked at Xie San's injury carefully and walked to Yao Douzi to pick up the medicine.

At this time, a crisp female voice came from outside the door: "Sister Haitang, I'm back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a twelve or thirteen year old girl came in. Unexpectedly, there were several men standing silently in the room, and one was lying on the couch.She stuck out her tongue, walked to Haitang, took the medicine from Haitang's hand, and whispered: "Sister, do you want to make some medicine? Let me go."

Haitang nodded and let her go.I opened a bottle myself, and the smell of alcohol filled the air.

"Uh...are you trying to make me drink to be brave?" Xie Sanxiao asked.

Haitang also chuckled: "Where is that? This is to disinfect your wound. It's useless if you drink. It won't hurt if you're drunk."

Xie San laughed so hard that he wished he could marry this living treasure back to the palace immediately. Even if he was given the throne, it would not make him happier than this.

Haitang was not polite to him. She applied soju to his open wound in two strokes, washed away the rotten skin, and then took out a jar of dark green ointment and slowly applied it on him.The wound that had been poisoned by the snake venom was also opened, cleaned and medicated again.

At this time, the master came in again, looked at Xie San’s wounds and said:
"The medicine has been applied. You should go down the mountain quickly. It will get dark if you don't leave."
