Chapter 251 The Male Protagonist’s Sister-in-Law in Exile 4 (2-in-1)
The bandaging was over, and the sky was getting dark. A child knocked on the door. Lin Zhi walked over and opened the door, gave him the calculated money, and returned to hand it over. Mom, this is my reward for helping with the cooking tonight.
The child said "Thank you, sister", took the money and ran away happily.
He carried the food box into the house and put it on the table. When he opened it, it was just simple rice porridge, exuding a faint fragrance of rice. Liu Zong was surprised that she had thought so carefully, and then he swallowed involuntarily. It’s been a long time since I had a normal meal of rice porridge.
“Let’s have a meal.” Lin Zhi filled two bowls and sat down.
Liu Zong nodded, picked up the chopsticks, moved gracefully but not slowly, and ate the most satisfying meal.
After the meal, he wanted to help wash the dishes. Lin Zhi asked him to sit down, so he had to watch her busy. The noble and elegant daughter put on coarse clothes, rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands and made soup. Tang's eyes gradually became gloomy, if nothing happened to the Liu family...
Until Lin Zhi cleaned her hands and closed the door, leaving only the window open, the clear night breeze came.
He realized later, was she going to stay here tonight?
The heat gradually hit her face, but soon I saw that she tied a rope outside the bed tent, covered it with a long cloth, and built a simple bed with wooden boards outside, and realized that she had not Want to sleep with him.
Suddenly he remembered that the topic of 'reconciliation' had ended but his identity could not be discovered now, and he could not reconcile with her, so he had to continue dragging her with him.
I felt guilty in my heart.
"You go to the bed, and I'll sleep here." He said.
Ling Zhi glanced at him, lowered her head and said, "Your injury is not healed yet, let's wait until it heals." She opened the curtain, covered both sides, and said to him, "It's late, go to bed. ”
Liu Zong had no choice but to enter the curtain and lie on the bed.
The candles were blown out, and the house fell into darkness. The nightingales screamed from the forest behind the house, and there were one or two dogs barking in the village. Occasionally, the woman shouted for the child to go to sleep, and the sound of her shallow breathing.
Liu Zong's mind was filled with thoughts of his mother and siblings who came to the border, his father and brother who died miserably, and Lin's sudden appearance. He didn't fall asleep until midnight.
The next day, the sky was bright and the two had a simple breakfast.
Not long after, the salesman entered the village again, knocking on the door of the wooden house with an old doctor carrying a medicine box. When he saw Lin Zhi, he smiled and said: "Ms. Lin, the doctor you want, I brought it.”
The doctor, who was out of breath from exhaustion behind him, introduced with a smile, "This man's name is Zhang He. Not long after he arrived at the border, I was wandering on the street when I saw him. He fainted from hunger. When I took him home, I realized that He’s a doctor!”
"He is not familiar with the place here, and his words are strict, which meets your requirements."
Ling Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly.
Zhang He also opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it.
Liu Zong stood behind Lin Zhi, looking at Zhang He and not noticing anything unusual, but he was still vigilant and asked about this person's origins, where he was from, and why he came to the border? With sharp eyes, Zhang He didn't dare to look at each other, so he quietly looked away and met Lin Zhi's eyes again.
Before the salesman opened his mouth, Lin Zhi smiled half-heartedly: "Don't worry, I know this person, no problem."
What a coincidence, I met Zhang He in such a place. When he encountered bandits that day, Prince Hou of Anyang asked his men to escort him away, ignoring the officers, soldiers and prisoners. Later, when Liu Jing helped the officers and soldiers defeat the bandits, the group set off, but did not see them along the way.
Unexpectedly, I met you here.
The doctor's scalp was numb and he did not dare to look at Liu Zong. He only looked at Lin Zhi and smiled to please: "Mrs. Lin, long time no see."
The salesman was surprised and looked at Zhang He and then looked back. Looking at Lin Zhi, she was surprised: "You guys Do you know him?"
Liu Zong was also confused. Lin Zhi said to the salesman: "This person is staying here. I feel relieved to have him treat me." She handed him a few pieces of silver and said, "Thank you. Give me a run.”
The salesman was very happy to get the silver, but he still looked at Zhang He and asked for his opinion.
Zhang He...can he say no? He showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yes, thank you very much for helping me find an acquaintance. I am willing to stay with Mrs. Lin Er. Brother, please feel free to go." I shouted in my heart, if you want to leave, take me with you, but it's a pity that he Don't dare.
Seeing that both parties were satisfied, the salesman said goodbye and left happily carrying his burden.
As soon as the people left, there were only three people left here. Lin Zhi looked at Zhang He with a smile. Zhang He had already noticed that something was wrong and took the initiative to explain without her asking. He left with the prince that day and fled in a panic. Unexpectedly, Zhang He We still encountered a small group of bandits on the road.
Anyang's Crown Prince ordered all the guards to protect him when he went to Jincheng. This time Anyang's Crown Prince came to the border to convey his orders to a general in Jincheng, so he left him behind, including the prince who had been in the carriage a few days ago. The beautiful maid whom the emperor favored stayed behind to stop the bandits and ran away.
They were all helpless and were killed by bandits. He managed to escape with his life.
I just entered the city a few days ago, but I lost my bag while running for my life and had no money, so I had to live on the street and fainted. The salesman saved him. This time I heard that someone asked a doctor to cure his illness and give him some silver.
He thought that he could not rely on the salesman brother all the time, so he agreed to come and have a look...
Xiaohehe promised: "Second Madam, don't worry, I will definitely help you treat your disease. Okay, I won’t take any money.”
Ling Zhi smiled: “I’m not sick.” Pointing to the man behind him, “Do you know me?”
Zhang He bowed his waist, carefully raised his eyes for a long time, shook his head and said in denial: "This gentleman is very handsome. I will never forget it when I see him."
Lin Zhi raised her lips and smiled: "This man is My husband, General Do you recognize the second young master Liu Zong now?"
Zhang He's face froze, and he deliberately said that he didn't recognize him. Why did Mrs. Lin not follow the routine and treat the second young master Liu like this? His identity was told to him.
A dry smile: "Yuan, it turns out it's the second young master. I'm glad you're okay."
The smile looks bitter no matter how you look at it.
Lin Zhi was a little amused, but she curled her lips and fiddled with Liu Zong's dagger in her hand, her smile not reaching her eyes: "Although my husband survived, he is seriously injured. You have to treat him well, do you understand?"
Zhang He nodded repeatedly: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely do it!"
He felt that if he dared to say bad things, the next second, the dagger would fall on his neck.
Ling Zhi smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Liu Zong: "This man has good medical skills. He even treated Sanlang's leg on the way. He will have no problem treating your injuries."
Liu Zongmeifeng Ever since I heard that Zhang He is Anyang The people in the Marquis never unlocked it and kept it locked. When they were in the capital, the Anyang Marquis and the General's Mansion had different political views. Anyang Marquis had been urging His Majesty to ask his father to hand over military power. His son often had sex with their brothers. Targeted everywhere. He subconsciously disliked his people, but he still listened to Lin's words and nodded.
He believed that Lin Zhi knew what was right.
-
After Zhang He cleaned his hands, he examined Liu Zong, took off his clothes, and saw scars all over his body. He took a breath and looked at Liu Zong with great admiration. Zong.
Then he untied the cloth, revealing the stab wounds from his chest to his lower abdomen. The hideous and bloody wounds were shocking.
He came closer to take a closer look and pressed with his fingers: "The injury was extremely serious, almost hurting the internal organs. It is very lucky for the second young master to survive, and this injury...I wonder who treated the young master that day?"
"The technique is not bad, but the doctor probably doesn't understand pharmacology, and the medicine he uses has no effect."
"From you It has been two and a half months since the accident happened, but the wound still shows no sign of healing... I think the second young master had been suffering from high fever and was in a coma, and he woke up not long ago."
I didn't get a response, and I was confused. At first, I realized that the second young master of the General Mansion looked extremely ugly and subconsciously shrank his neck. Could it be that he had made a mistake somewhere?
Ling Zhi said: "What nonsense, just treat the injury directly."
Zhang He nodded quickly, said nothing more, neatly and carefully treated the wound, applied Liu Jiajun's wound medicine, picked up the brush and wrote a prescription for treatment. Of course, he did not forget to take out the necessary medicine from the medicine box he brought. Various medicinal materials and prescriptions were handed over to Lin Zhi.
This medicine box and medicinal materials were collected by the salesman brother for him. He kept saying sorry to the salesman in his heart.
Now he no longer expects money for consultation fees and medicinal materials. He just hopes that for the sake of his honest treatment, the couple will let him go.
Finally, he asked: "Second Young Madam, do you need Laochan decoction?" with a flattering look on his face.
Ling Zhi didn't understand pharmacology, but Zhang He didn't dare to do anything, so she handed it back to him: "Then you can fry it." She had never done it before and didn't understand.
Zhang He... took it honestly and prepared to go out to cook the medicine.
Liu Zong stopped him, put on his clothes and stood up, took out the medicinal residue wrapped in leaves from the basket on the wall and gave it to him: "See if there is any problem?"
Zhang He didn't know why, but he still took it, picked up the dregs of the medicine and looked at it carefully, smelled it, tasted it again, and said thoughtfully: "Panax Panax notoginseng, Purple Flower Di Ding There is nothing wrong with honeysuckle. They are all herbs that can reduce swelling, relieve pain, and stop bleeding. It just needs to be more effective for your injury. "
"This is... leech? Gold?”
Liu Zong frowned: “What’s the difference between these two medicines?”
Zhang He looked at him anxiously: "Although these two medicines can relieve pain, they are also more effective in activating blood circulation. They should not be used by pregnant women. Also like your injury, adding them will cause the injury to bleed again and again, making it difficult to heal." "No wonder he looked at the injury just now. It was more than two months ago and it still looks like a new injury.
I don’t know who dares to plot against this second young master like this? Could it be an enemy?
Liu Zong's eyes suddenly darkened, and he once again verified Taohua's method from the doctor, deliberately delaying his injury. He thought about the past two months, every time he woke up intermittently, he fell into coma again because his body could not hold on. .
Yesterday, I saw her changing the medicine with my own eyes, and then said that she was deliberately delaying his injury. I lost trust, and worried that there was something else in the medicine, so I collected the dregs of the medicine and asked the doctor to check.
Unexpectedly... He thought she was a peasant girl with some medical skills but not much.
He didn't expect that she knew much more than he thought, and could even think of using such a vicious method to make him comatose to this day! Can't go back.
Glancing at the uneasy doctor, he said coldly: "Get out."
Zhang He hurried out.
Ling Zhi looked at him: "Are you okay?"
Liu Zong sat at the table tiredly, rubbing his eyebrows: "I just didn't expect that in a small mountain village, How could he be plotted like this?" The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became, and Taohua's simple and honest face became cunning.
Hearing this, Lin Zhi looked at him with pitiful eyes. It was indeed a bit unexpected that the dignified second son of the General's Mansion, a victorious general on the battlefield, would be plotted against by a village girl.
"You were seriously injured at the time. Even if you find out the truth, there is nothing you can do. Now that Zhang He is here, you can rest assured to heal your wounds."
Liu Zong nodded, and suddenly remembered that they encountered mountains on the road. The bandit was about to ask more questions when he suddenly saw Tao Hua hurriedly running outside the door.
Seeing the old doctor boiling medicine outside the house, she immediately asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Liu Zong's eyes sank: "Peach Blossom Girl!"
Taohua turned around and saw him, her eyes lit up, and she ran over hurriedly and said, "Liu Lang, I just saw someone saying that the salesman brought a doctor into the village. Don't believe him. The doctors outside are not as good as me in medical skills. They are not needed." , I can help you heal your injuries!”
“I know there is a medicine in the mountains that is very effective in treating trauma. I will pick it up and your injury will be cured soon.”
After saying that, she looked at him eagerly.
Liu Zong asked: "Since I knew this medicine existed earlier, why did I tell you about it now? Moreover, the doctor found blood-activating turmeric and leeches in the medicine you decocted in the past. How do you explain it?"
Taohua’s face was blank, and then she reacted: “Did you pick up the dregs of the medicine I boiled?”
Liu Zong didn't speak, but his eyes were cold.
Taohua opened her mouth and was speechless for a moment. Her mind was in a mess. She subconsciously cast an angry look at Zhang He who was making the medicine. It was all her fault that this old doctor actually used it on her. The medicine was all told.
And Liu Lang’s wife, if she hadn’t suddenly appeared, none of this would have happened. She was the one who shouldn’t have appeared!
Biting his lips and crying, he begged: "Liu Lang, I, I don't know. Grandpa is just a barefoot doctor. My medical skills are not good. Maybe I got the wrong medicine. Liu Lang, don't be angry. Give it to me again." Opportunity, I..."
Liu Zong had already sent her Looking at Lin Zhi, the resentment in his eyes was clearly visible, and all the gratitude disappeared. He said to Lin Zhi: "Give her some money to thank her for bringing me back, and just write off the rest." Although she did bring him back, But what he did next was unforgivable.
Lin Zhi glanced at him, walked up to Taohua, and gave her a purse: "Miss Taohua, there are one hundred taels in it. Thank you for saving my husband."
If it were the Liu family in the past, I would give her five hundred taels. A thousand taels will do, but there is too little money nowadays, and one hundred taels is already a lot.
Besides, although he saved people, one hundred taels is enough based on what Taohua did later.
Taohua stared at her and slapped open the purse embroidered with orchids: "I don't want your money!" She looked at Liu Zong and said, "Liu Lang, don't be angry with me. I really just took the wrong medicine. "I, I don't want any money, can you take me with you?"
Ling Zhi picked up the purse on the ground and looked at the girl without saying anything. Do you insist on relying on Liu Zong?
Liu Zong frowned and said sternly: "I have a wife, and I will not marry anyone else."
"Then I will be my concubine!" Taohua immediately said: "In the wealthy families in the city, those masters and young masters have more than just wives. If I have a concubine, I can be a concubine regardless of my status.”
