Spring in Shengjing is coming to an end, and the heat of summer is gradually beginning to take hold.

Early in the morning, the door of Ke's house in Chengnan was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman walked out.

This woman was wearing a half-worn honey-colored woven quilt, her hair was pulled into a bun, she had a plump figure and a kind face. She held a bamboo hanging basket in her arm.

The concierge greeted her: "Mother Wan."

The Wanfu family nodded in agreement and rushed towards the Guanxiang flower market.

Mrs. Ke likes sweets, and the Wanfu family is good at making sweets, especially steaming cakes made from various flowers.Recently, the old lady’s favorite thing is to eat fallen plum cakes. Plum blossoms are crushed into juice and mixed into fresh shortbread cakes. They are pressed into the shape of small plum blossoms and served on a plate. They are beautiful and delicious.

But now that Grain Rain has passed, and it’s half a month before the beginning of summer, the plum blossoms have already been sold out.The plum blossoms currently being bought at the Guanxiang flower market were saved last year, and we have to wait until this winter to sell out.Therefore, Wanfu's family arrived a little early.

When we arrived at Guanxiang, we could smell the fragrant fragrance even before entering the flower market.There are many flowers in spring and summer, and there are flowers on various stalls. Mountain orchids, jasmine, peonies, purple orchids... are fragrant and lively everywhere.

The man from Wanfu's family found a stall selling plum blossoms, bought all the remaining plum blossoms at the stall, and bought a few handfuls of herbs for making sweets, then he picked up the basket and headed back.

There are already many people at the entrance of Guanxiang, there are endless cars and horses, and the flower market is crowded.Aunt Wan was just walking out when a [-] or [-]-year-old beggar suddenly popped out from outside the flower market. She bumped into someone and made Aunt Wan fall to the ground with an "ouch". She didn't wait to stop him. , the little beggar ran away when he saw something was not going well.

Half of Wan's body fell to the ground. She only felt the excruciating pain in her ankles. She couldn't get up for a moment. She held on and put the scattered flowers and plants into the basket, and cursed a few times in a low voice.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone speaking in my ear: "Are you okay, aunt?"

Aunt Wan looked up and saw two young girls standing in front of her.

One was pretty and smart in cyan armor, with her hair in a maid's bun. The other was in a dark blue skirt, with red lips, white teeth, and smooth muscles and bones. He was looking at her with concern.

Nanny Wan's feet were hurting very much now, and it was very inconvenient for people to come and go around her, so she said, "Can you please help me to sit on the stone chair at the entrance of the alley for a while."

The maid in green smiled and helped her up and said, "It doesn't matter."

Nanny Wan was supported by these two people and walked outside to sit on a stone chair. She felt the pain in her ankle became more and more severe. She wanted to stand up and walk, but when she exerted force, she grimaced in pain again.

The girl in blue looked at her ankle and shook her head: "I twisted the bone. I can't walk now. It's best not to use force for three to five days."

Aunt Wan said "Yeah" and said in a panic: "It's broken now."

She came out to buy plum blossoms. The flower market was still quite far away from Ke's house, and she couldn't make it in time if she even called for a carriage.

The girl in blue thought for a while and said to Aunt Wan: "Although the bone is twisted, it won't take half a day to heal with a little moxibustion using gold acupuncture."

"Acupuncture?" Nanny Wan wondered, "Is there an acupuncture place nearby?"

The maid in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "I know there is a Renxin Medical Center nearby. It is very close to the flower market. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Aunt Wan was stunned: "Renxin Medical Clinic?" She looked surprised, "Is it the medical clinic that sells herbal tea for nasal congestion recently?"

The maid was startled, then smiled and said, "Have you heard of the name Renxin Medical Center?"

"Of course, the name of this herbal tea has been heard everywhere recently." Aunt Wan looked at her ankles, "Since everyone says that the herbal tea made by Renxin Medical Center is good, she probably has some real skills. Please bother me. Girls, send me to Renxin Medical Center. I will thank you both very much when my feet heal the day after tomorrow."

"It's just a small favor, don't worry about it, madam." The maid glanced at the girl in blue with a smile, "Girl, let's help this lady over together."

"it is good."

……

Lu Tong and Yin Zheng helped Wan Wan, who injured her ankle, to Renxin Medical Center.

Du Changqing was sitting in front of the medicine cabinet in a daze. When he saw Lu Tong coming back, he was a little surprised: "Doctor Lu, didn't you go buy flowers? Why are you back so early?" Early in the morning, Renxin Medical Center had just opened, and Lu Tong told Du Changqing that she was going to the flower market to buy flowers and left first with Yin Zheng.

After hearing what Du Changqing said, Aunt Wan looked at Lu Tong in surprise: "Doctor Lu...are you a doctor?"

Lu Tong nodded.

Yin Zheng smiled and held Nanny Wan's arm and walked in: "Don't worry, auntie, my girl is very skilled in medicine. She is the one who made the herbal tea. I will give you a moxibustion on your ankle later. It will not hurt after a while." ”

Du Changqing was still a little unclear about the situation. After hearing Lu Tong's explanation, he gave her a confused look: "You have a kind heart and help people everywhere." He leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "But you are really good at acupuncture. ? You can’t be lying, right? I told you first, if someone exposes you, I can’t protect you.”

Lu Tong ignored him and went to the suitcase to get the gold needle.

Outside, Nanny Wan was half-reclining on the recliner, looking at Lu Tong with some suspicion, and said hesitantly: "Doctor Lu, if it doesn't work..."

"The internal organs belong to the internal organs, and the external collaterals are connected to the limbs." Lu Tong had taken off Nanny Wan's shoes and socks, sat on a slightly shorter chair, and placed the other party's legs on his knees.

She saw a big swollen lump on her ankle, which looked scary. She said: "After acupuncture, the meridians will be unblocked, the swelling will subside, and you will be able to go to the ground soon. Don't worry, aunt." After that, she raised her hand and pricked the golden needle. Enter Wanma’s ankles.

Grandma Wan was so full that she couldn't even say anything.

Lu Tong's movements were too fast.

Seeing this, Yin Zheng poured a bowl of tea from the side and handed it to Nanny Wan. She said with a smile: "Don't worry, ma'am. Since my girl is the doctor here, she is naturally very capable. Let's have a cup of tea first and wait until the moxibustion is finished." It’ll be fine in about an hour.”

Aunt Wan took the tea and smiled reluctantly.

Yin Zheng moved another chair and sat in front of Aunt Wan, chatting with her: "I just heard Auntie's accent. It doesn't sound like Shengjing's accent, but more like Yingchuan's."

When Aunt Wan heard this, her attention was diverted and she smiled and said, "Yes, I am from Yingchuan."

"Really?" Yinzheng became happy: "My family is also from Yingchuan. I didn't expect to see my fellow villagers in Shengjing. What a fate!"

Aunt Wan was also surprised: "Such a thing happened, no wonder I felt so amiable when I saw the girl today!"

The two of them, who were from the same hometown, suddenly met each other. Naturally, they felt infinite intimacy and immediately started chatting enthusiastically.Yin Zheng was always smart and lively, and she talked some hometown dialect with Nanny Wan, and soon she was very happy.Pulling Yin Zheng and calling her "my girl" affectionately.In my excitement, I even forgot about the golden needles on my ankles.

Du Changqing dug his ears, seeming a little bored with the chatter in the shop.

Lu Tong smiled slightly.

Since entering Renxin Medical Center, she has never forgotten her mission and never slackened in her inquiries about the Ke family.

This woman would go to the flower market shop in Guanxiang every five or six days to buy some flowers and plants, and she spoke authentic Yingchuan dialect.When Yin Zheng first fell in love, he met a sister who lived in Yingchuan and learned a few words from her by chance.

So Lu Tong bribed the beggar at the entrance of the temple early and went to Guanxiang Flower Market to act out a drama of helping others.

Collision, kindness, attracting people, and fellow villagers are all just ways to deliberately get close to this woman.

She lowered her head, took out the last golden needle from the flannel, and slowly inserted it into the acupuncture point on Nanny Wan's wrist. Nanny Wan smiled and said: "There are few people in my house. The head of the house works with Mr. Ke. This morning is I came out to buy plum blossoms, but unfortunately I was hit by that little bastard and a lot of the plum blossoms were broken."

Lu Tong's hand holding the needle hesitated slightly.

After a moment, she raised her head with a smile and asked, "Master Ke? Are you the Ke family who sells porcelain in Shengjing?"
