Three and a half women in four courtyards

Chapter 14

After the Four Emperors came back from Zhuizi Mountain, they plunged into their small pharmacy, tinkering with Hongdao's prescriptions in the room.

He weighed the medicine according to the prescription, put it on a medicine grinder, ground the medicine into powder, and then mixed it with honey and borneol to make an ointment.

The greatest pleasure from the Four Emperors is to ponder over the prescription.

A prescription has been used on patients. Once it is verified to be effective, it feels happier than earning a lot of money.

He came to the back room where Bao Yixian lived with the ointment, one was to heal Bao Yixian, and the other wanted to verify the efficacy of this prescription.

He asked Mrs. Hou Zhang to help, and removed the cloth covering the wound on Bao Yixian's feet layer by layer.

A stench immediately filled the room.

Looking at Bao Yixian's injured foot again, black pus dripped out.

"Ang, you have to hold back a little bit, it hurts a lot!" Cong Sihuang said, "It hurts, only pain can cure a disease."

"Ang! Hold my hand, if you can't stand it, just pinch my arm, it's okay! Pinch hard!" Mrs. Hou asked Bao Yixian to hold her arm.

From the Four Emperors, he pressed her instep hard to squeeze out the black pus inside.

Bao Yixian gritted his teeth and uttered two woo-wahs, trying not to let himself cry out.

After squeezing the pus, he took a cotton ball dipped in garlic juice from the Four Emperors, and wiped Bao Yixian's wound with the cotton ball.

"Ah!—oh—ah——" Bao Yixian yelled as soon as the cotton ball dipped in garlic juice touched the wound.

After all, she is not Guan Yunchang, she can't scrape the bone and heal the wound without making a sound.

He stopped from the Four Emperors and looked back at Bao Yixian, beady beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

When he saw this, he was suddenly stunned, thinking, how strange, the woman in the dream looks very similar to Bao Yixian!

Staring at Bao Yixian's face from the Four Emperors, his eyes became a little straight.

At this time, the four eyes met, and Bao Yixian's face also turned red.

Seeing it, Hou Zhang felt uncomfortable, so she interjected, "Ang, brother, you don't like it by yourself. You live a good life, and you don't even have a cook. I, You can’t come to cook for the eldest brother every day, can you? I also have children’s paws at home. In two days, I have to arrange another marriage for you, so there must be a fire cook at home, right?”

"Oh, oh, oh! Yes, yes." After recovering from the Four Emperors, he continued to wipe the wound.

"Oh, big brother, what are your conditions? Do you also have to find a big girl with yellow flowers? After all, you are a prominent figure in Daxigouchuan!" Hou Zhang glanced at Bao Yixian, intending to warn her not to go From the top and bottom of the four emperors, they don't look for widows.

"Ang, big sister, you can do whatever you want. You can do whatever you want." The four emperors agreed.

Hongdao's prescription really worked, and after two days, Bao Yixian's legs and soles all subsided.

After five days, the wound had scabbed over.

However, Bao Yixian's toes had rotted too much these days, and another one rotted away.

After the rotten toe fell off, new flesh grew.

Seven days later, she was able to walk on the ground, but she couldn't use her broken foot and walked with a limp.

Hou Zhang said comfortingly: "Ang, this is very bad (not bad). If you hadn't met Mr. Cong, you would have lost a leg if you were light, and you would have died if you were heavy."

Bao Yixian nodded his head, thinking to himself, he will be crippled for the rest of his life.

Became a cripple, unable to travel long distances, how can the fourth prince's last will be fulfilled.

Thinking of this, tears rolled in the eyes.

"Ang, sit down and rest! Does it hurt?" Seeing her appearance, Hou Zhang continued to comfort her, "Oh, your foot is healed, it's just like my little foot. Now in the Republic of China, it's not fashionable to bind feet, women We all have pictures of big feet! In the past, the three-inch golden lotus was so particular! Only women from rich families can have small feet."

Bao Yixian expressed his thanks with his eyes.

"Ang, you go for a walk first, and take a break when you're tired. As Mr. said, if you move more, you'll heal quickly." Bao Yixian recovered from his injury, and Hou Zhang was also happy to see it, and heaved a long sigh of relief. "Ang, I'll go home and have a look first."

These days, the Hou family ran from both ends of the house, and she was really busy.

Before reaching the door of the house, Hou Zhang saw a girl sitting on the stone pier in front of her house wiping tears from a distance.

She feels strange, what's going on?Where is the big girl from my family?
Walking in, it turned out to be Diao Yingzi, Diao Gui's daughter.

I haven't seen her for a few days, and Diao Yingzi has grown into a big girl.

"Oh! Oh, Yingzi, what are you doing, why are you crying?" Mrs. Hou Zhang pulled Diao Yingzi up, "Come on, let's sit in the room."

"Auntie, you, you are back." Diao Yingzi wiped away tears, followed Mrs. Hou Zhang to the house, and stood in the middle of the house.

"Ang, sit, sit!" Mrs. Hou Zhang asked Diao Yingzi to sit on the kang.

Diao Yingzi agreed, half sitting on the edge of the Kang.

Mrs. Hou Zhang also sat on the edge of the kang, glanced at Diao Yingzi, and asked, "Ang, what's the matter? That bitch—— Sai Diao pestered you?"

Diao Yingzi shook his head and remained silent.

"Ang, what's the matter, your bastard's father hit you?"

Diao Yingzi still shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

"Ah-ah! Your father is just a wimp. He has a big family business, and he broke it up. Poor kid, he has suffered."

Mrs. Hou Zhang rubbed forward on the edge of the kang, came closer, held Diao Yingzi's hand, and said, "Oh, my son, if you have a grievance, chat with your aunt. Don't hold it in your heart. If you hold it in your heart, it will hurt you." sick."

When Diao Yingzi was held by her hand, as if she had found her mother's feeling, she burst into tears with a "wow".

"Oh, oh-ah, this child! Poor!" Mrs. Hou Zhang held Diao Yingzi in her arms and stroked her head, "Cry, cry, just cry, don't hold it in your heart good."

Diao Yingzi cried for a while in Hou Zhang's arms, raised his head, clicked his mouth, wanted to say, then covered his face with his hands and began to cry.

When Hou Zhang saw this situation, it seemed that something serious happened.

She thought about it for a while and said, "Oh, although we are not related, we still live in the same camp. We have been from father to son, and son to son. After so many years, we are not relatives, but also relatives. Children Ah, you can trust your aunt, so you can chat with your aunt. At my age, I eat more salt than you eat millet, so I can give you some advice, right?"

Diao Yingzi sobbed for a while, and said intermittently: "Auntie, my dad, my dad—"

She sobbed a few more times, and finally plucked up the courage to speak out.

It turned out that one night half a month ago, Diao Yingzi was sleeping soundly on the kang, and suddenly felt someone pressing on her.

"Oh, I yelled as hard as I could, and I said, Dad! Dad! Come on, there's a beard in the house! Come on, Dad! Where are you?

"But I didn't hear my dad's reply. The man continued to hold me down and scratched my lower body. I didn't do it, so I grabbed, scratched, kicked, yelled, and called Dad.

"At this moment, that person said: 'What's your name! I'm your father!' When I heard that, I was dumbfounded. Auntie, how could my father do that to me?"

After Diao Yingzi finished speaking, he continued to cry.
