Chapter 40
Chapter 40
The house is empty.
Su Jing felt the weight of this word for the second time.
There is nothing but mottled spots on the walls made of loess.
In the kitchen I passed by just now, except for some dead branches used to boil water, there was no trace of food.
But in such a poor family, the only things that are left are neatly placed on the side.
A water tank taller than a little girl is also filled with crystal clear mountain spring water.
Obviously, the owner here is using her thin shoulders to try to support this miserable farmhouse that is about to collapse.
Su Jing didn't know how many families like this existed in Datang.
But under his rule, there will never be another case from now on.
This is the oath he made to himself, and it is also a warning to his numb mentality in the previous life.
"Big brother, mother is resting inside."
The little girl stood at the door of the bedroom and said timidly.
It seemed that he was afraid that disturbing Su Jing's thoughts would make him leave in anger.
"Call me big brother.
Big brother is too unfamiliar.
From now on you will be my sister too! "
Su Jing gently stroked the top of the little girl's head, and said with a smile.
"Ok!"
The little girl nodded with red eyes, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head and smiled sweetly at Su Jing.
Supporting this dilapidated home alone for two years, who can tell the hardships and grievances in her heart.
Although it was the first time meeting Su Jing in front of him, he gave him an inexplicable reliance.
"Let's go.
Go see your mother first.
After your mother's illness is cured, the eldest brother will take you home for dinner. "
Su Jing didn't like such a sad scene very much.
Holding the young mother's hand, he rubbed the little girl's head again.
"Thank you bro."
The little girl responded politely, and raised her hand to lift the door curtain full of tiny holes.
Seeing this, Su Jing led the quiet young lady into the bedroom, and saw the pale woman lying on the wooden board at a glance.
Just looking at the short clothes covering her body, one can see why the little girl wears short clothes and shorts in the cold winter.
This is a child who is as sensible as a young mother.
The only difference is that one is to save the elder brother and the other is to save the mother.
"Xiong Da, go and call Imperial Physician Zhu here."
Su Jingshen took a deep breath and shouted.
"promise!"
Cheng Chumo replied in shame, and strode towards the outside of the house.
This place used to be his Cheng family's territory, and he didn't even know about the situation of the little girl's family.
It seems that after returning home today, I have to have a good chat with the housekeeper.
"Brother.
My mother will be fine, right? "
The little girl's eyes were moist, but her tone was extremely firm.
Su Jing gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother will definitely cure your mother."
"Thank you brother!
Thank you, brother! "
The little girl suddenly bowed and knelt down.
Before Su Jing could react, he kowtowed heavily.
"Get up.
What is this for! "
Su Jing helped the little girl up, sighed and brushed the dust off her forehead.
"Brother doesn't like seeing outsiders like this, so you are not allowed to kowtow again in the future, remember?"
"Um!
Qiu'er remembered it. "
Qiu'er nodded movedly.
For the first time in two years, I felt the warmth of being cared for.
Su Jing smiled slightly.
Looking back at Zhao Quan, who was frowning tightly, he said, "Go and call a few more people.
It's too cold here to recuperate easily.
After the diagnosis and treatment by Imperial Physician Zhu, he took Qiu'er's mother back to the small courtyard. "
"promise!"
Zhao Quan carried rice and pork, turned around and ran out of the house.
Witnessing Su Jing's attitude towards Qiu'er with his own eyes, he is only glad that he is with the right person.
Being able to treat a strange commoner with such dedication, presumably he would never treat his own people too badly.
In the future, following Su Jing does not seek great wealth.
But if something happened to him on the battlefield, the wives and children at home don't have to worry about being left to take care of him.
……
Qiu'er's home is not far from the Su family's mansion.
Imperial Physician Zhu rushed in panting before he could finish a cup of tea.
Without being too courteous with Su Jing, he consciously walked to the wooden board and asked for his pulse.
"how?"
Seeing that Doctor Zhu's expression kept changing, he hesitated a few times but did not speak for a long time.
Su Jing couldn't help it, and squatted beside him and asked in a low voice.
"Back to my lord.
The man became ill from overwork and suffered from the wind and cold.
If Xiaguan came a few days earlier, there is still a way to treat her.
But now that she is terminally ill and has a persistent high fever, there is nothing the subordinates can do. "
Doctor Zhu changed his usual rascal appearance.
Avoiding Qiu'er's expectant gaze, she said dejectedly.
Physicians were not valued in the Tang Dynasty, so he did not have the lofty mentality of scholar-bureaucrats.
On the way here, I heard Cheng Chumo talk about Qiu'er's deeds, so naturally I felt a little more pity for her.
"Mother!
Mother!
Wake up quickly!
woohoo woo..."
When Qiu'er heard this, she fell down on the woman in disappointment.
Even the imperial physician could not cure her, so she had no hope.
"Fatty Zhu, are you joking with my lord?
Just a cold and fever, you actually told me that you don't know how to take medicine? "
Su Jing said angrily in dissatisfaction.
"How dare I play with my lord."
Imperial Physician Zhu shook his head, and said seriously: "She has been exhausted for a long time and her internal organs have been damaged.
If it is used rashly, it is very likely to cause more serious damage.
But if she doesn't use it, she probably won't be able to survive tonight. "
"Woooooooo..."
Qiu'er felt even more uncomfortable when she heard the words, and the young mother also felt the same and shed tears in a low voice.
Su Jing scratched his hair with a headache, frowned and thought carefully.
"Fatty Zhu.
If I can bring down her fever, can you cure her? "
"Fever?
What is fever? "
Doctor Zhu asked in puzzlement.
Su Jing glared at Imperial Physician Zhu impatiently, and said loudly: "I'm not in the mood to explain to you.
You can understand it as reducing fever, which is to let her return to normal body temperature. "
"My lord, can it really be done?"
Imperial Physician Zhu was stunned for a moment, and said pleasantly: "If the lord can cure her high fever, the next official will be sure to take care of the damage to her viscera."
"Snapped!"
Su Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
He patted Imperial Physician Zhu casually, gritted his teeth and said, "You have turned such a simple matter into life and death,
Fatty Zhu, I'll wait for you.
After I cure Mrs. Wang's illness, I will settle accounts with you again! "
"Xiong Da, Zhao Quan!"
"The end is here!"
The two of Cheng Chumo automatically entered the battle state.
"The two of you immediately go to the city to buy some jars of white wine.
Find another sturdy wooden barrel with a lid, and find me some empty bamboo pipes.
be quick!
If other methods do not work, my lord, I will have to distill the wine myself! "
"promise!"
Although the two didn't understand the relationship between wine and healing, they turned around and ran out the door.
Just because of the big commotion Su Jing made in the Jinghe Canyon, the two of them maintained absolute trust in him.
"Fatty Zhu, call some more women over.
If you want to cool down the Wang family, you have to rely on their help. "
"Your Majesty, let's go."
Doctor Zhu resisted the doubts in his heart, moved his fat body with difficulty, got up and walked out.
Seeing this, Su Jing turned around and smiled at the sluggish Qiu'er, "Don't worry.
Big brother said that he will definitely cure your mother. "
"Brother.
Can you really cure my mother? "
Qiu'er raised her head, took a deep breath and asked.
"how?
Don't believe me? "
"No, no.
Qiu'er is just..."
Qiu'er hurriedly waved her hands.
Seeing this, Su Jing rubbed her little head with a smile, and said softly: "Don't worry.
As long as Fatty Zhu never lied, Big Brother will definitely be able to cure your mother. "
