Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 18 Horse Money ---

When leaving Lu's house, Cui Langzhong stopped Xin Yi.

"I don't know who the young lady studied under? The old man is willing to bow down."

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "Master's surname is Zhou. His old man has lived in seclusion for many years, and he does not want his name to be known to outsiders. I hope Dr. Cui will be gracious."

Cui Langzhong nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand."

After that, he bent down to open the medicine box he carried with him, took out two prescriptions and handed them to Xin Yi, "This is the medicine I prescribed for Lu Xiaolang earlier, please refer to it, my lady. But because my medicine is not right, it hurts Mr. Xiaolang." ?”

Xin Yi took the prescription and read it line by line.

Antelope horn slices, frost mulberry leaves, Chuanbei, raw land, uncaria, Chu chrysanthemum, Fu Shenmu, raw white peony root, raw licorice, danzhuru...

These medicines have the effects of pungent coolness, resuscitation, increasing fluid and relaxing tendons, clearing the liver and quenching wind, and are effective for the internal organs, but have no benefit for blast, which really delays the treatment and aggravates the condition.But the Lu family didn't pursue it, so who would rush to accuse him of the crime?
This Cui Langzhong is an interesting person.

Xin Yi smiled and handed the prescription back to him.

"Clearing away heat and calming convulsions, cooling blood and detoxifying are helpful to the condition. Dr. Cui does not need to blame himself."

Cui Langzhong looked at her with relief, and bowed deeply.

"I have been taught, thank you for your guidance today, little lady."

Xin Yi bent down to help her, "Doctor Cui, you're welcome, just call me Xin Yi from now on."

"Xin Yi?"

Xin Yi is not used to being called "little lady" all day long without even having a name, so he also explained his name by the way.

"This is my boudoir name. Dr. Cui is an elder, so I can call her."

Cui Langzhong saw that she was highly skilled in medicine and yet so humble and polite, and he didn't belittle or humiliate him because he took advantage of it. Instead, he reconciled generously and respected him as an elder. He was deeply moved for a while.

"The old man is too ashamed to be ashamed, let me leave."

Xin Yi smiled, seeing him turn around, as if suddenly thinking of something, he stepped forward and called out.

"Doctor Cui stay here."

Cui Langzhong was startled slightly, and clasped his fists together.

"What advice do you have, little lady?"

Xin Yi approached, and asked cautiously: "Does Doctor Cui know about the nuxony by the Dongtou Canal in Zhangjia Village?"

Cui Langzhong frowned, and asked in surprise, "What is a nux?"

Judging by Cui Langzhong's appearance, he clearly doesn't know this kind of plant.

Speaking of which, Nuxyma qianzi was originally a plant introduced from "Huihuiguo" in the later Ming Dynasty, and was later cultivated in Yunnan and Guangdong. At that time, she specially marked it when designing the part of traditional Chinese medicine.But the master planner didn't care about these details, and wished to stuff "Compendium of Materia Medica" into it...

Xin Yi looked at Cui Langzhong for a moment, seeing that he seemed to be lying, he suddenly smiled.

"This matter has been on my mind for two days..."

After a brief pause, she lowered her voice.

"Doctor Cui, come with me."

……

The canal was flowing quietly, and the branches of the two nuxy trees were rustling in the cold winter wind. The leaves had already fallen, and a few scattered orange berries hung on the bare branches. It looks no different from other deciduous trees.

Cui Langzhong looked up at the branch, rubbed his chin and muttered.

"What is the magical use of this thing?"

Xin Yi calmly said: "Nyxensis is a very poisonous thing. It originally grew in deep mountains and dense forests. It likes heat and withstands humidity. Normally, it should only be found in Yazhou, Yongzhou and other places in the south in my dynasty. I didn't expect Kaifeng to survive. Strange..."

Cui Langzhong turned his head in surprise, full of doubts.

"Then how do you know it's a nux?"

Xin Yi looked back at her and smiled faintly: "My master likes to travel around the most, and he is very knowledgeable. I happened to see it in his book..."

Speaking of which, Xin Yi stretched out his hand and pulled the branch, picked off a berry of nuxonum, opened it, and took out the coin-like kernel inside.

"The stone of nuxonum is flat and disk-shaped, white in color and easy to distinguish."

Xin Yi's eyes were bright, making it impossible to look away.

Cui Langzhong watched her ponder for a while, looked around for a while, and suddenly lowered his voice, "You brought this old man here, not just to let the old man know about Nuxies, right?"

Xin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gloomy emotion appeared on his face.

"I suspect that the deformity of the babies in the village is related to this tree."

Cui Langzhong was obviously taken aback, his complexion changed.

"how you said that?"

Xin Yi spread out the nux nuclei that had just been peeled out in his palm, and guided Cui Langzhong to look at the canal——

The canal is used for irrigation in Zhangjia Village. For the convenience of getting water for washing, people in the village use bamboo tubes to divert water from the side of the canal to their homes. Therefore, the water in it is used by every household.

"The fruit of Nuxychia fell into the canal, soaked for a long time, and the toxin in the core will slowly seep into the water after the peel rots. Over time, the water will have toxins..."

Cui Langzhong asked: "Then why are only pregnant women or fetuses poisoned?"

Xin Yi said: "The canal is flowing water with low toxicity. Most healthy adults who use it will be fine or feel a little uncomfortable. The toxin will be quickly excreted by their own resistance. Pregnant women are different. Maqianzi, it is very likely that the pregnancy will be terminated, and even if the pregnancy is preserved, the possibility of fetal deformity is very high. Therefore, I conclude that the women in the village always give birth to strange things, and this tree has something to do with it..."

Cui Langzhong saw that she spoke clearly and logically, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Then what are you waiting for, you have to go to the police quickly—"

"No." A strange light flashed in Xin Yi's deep eyes.

Looking around, she chuckled and lowered her voice.

"No one would believe such a big case just because of your red lips and white teeth. The grassroots report to the government may cause trouble to the upper body. What's more, although nuxe is highly poisonous, it is born from nature, not man-made. What can I do if I sue the officials? The children in the village cannot be saved."

"That……"

Cui Langzhong pondered, stroked his beard and thought.

"As a young lady, what should I do?"

Xin Yi smiled slightly, "One thing more is worse than one thing less. We only need to deal with the nuxies, and then clean up the canals, so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again. Wouldn't everyone be safe?"

Cui Langzhong nodded, "It makes sense. The old man simply set the poisonous tree on fire."

Xin Yi shook his head, "It can't be burned."

She stepped forward, pulled down the branches, picked some nuxy seeds from the tree, put them in her dress, and smiled at Cui Langzhong.

"Poison is also a medicine. Nuxychia clears collaterals, relieves swelling and relieves pain, and can cure carbuncles. It is a rare and good medicinal material. I will clean up the canal later, and I will bring a hoe and plant the tree in another place."

Cui Langzhong looked at her blankly, "This old man has practiced medicine for dozens of years. I never thought that Lin Lao would gain such knowledge. Thank you for your advice, my lady."

Xin Yi smiled, "Why are you being polite? I have to trouble Cui Langzhong."

Cui Lang crossed his hands: "But please tell me."

Xin Yi smiled and said: "I have a batch of medicinal materials in my hand, and I want to ask the doctor to help me sell them to the pharmacy. We will add five to two of the proceeds, how about it?"

Cui Langzhong was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's just a little busy, my lady, you're welcome."

"Should be. Tomorrow, I will make the medicine, and I will show it to the doctor first..."

"Good talk, good talk."

·
Coming out of the canal, Xin Yi and Cui Langzhong parted ways.

She was about to go home when a cold snort came from behind her.

"You will be a good person."

Xin Yi turned his head lazily, and at a glance he saw Gao Miao who had taken off his red cloak and was only wearing soft armor standing in front of the stone wall of the canal.

This woman is following her?
Xin Yi snorted, "Isn't the Junjun cold?"

The cold wind seemed to blow along with her voice, Gao Miao's back felt cold, and he hugged his arms tightly, goose bumps oozing out.

But she didn't want to show weakness in front of Xin Yi.

Straightening his back, he asked coldly.

"You secretly brought Cui Langzhong here, what the hell are you trying to do?"

"I'm sorry, Junjun, it's inconvenient to tell you about private matters."

Xin Yi really didn't want to offend this noble man, so he saluted, turned around and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Gao Miao refused to let her off easily, and leaned forward, but seeing a flash of cold light, the dagger was already shot, and it was pointed at Xin Yi's neck.

"Ask you something? Say or not?"
