Licheng Twilight

Chapter 69

After staying in the pharmacy for a long time, Doctor Ren came out with a black bowl of medicine that was still bubbling.Ye Tianche took the medicine, looked at the old man's face so smoked that only his eyes could be seen, with a difficult expression, he gestured to Mumu, "Do I really want to drink this kind of thing?" It seems like in movies it's usually about poison or something.

Mu Mu looked at him sympathetically, hesitated, and tentatively said, "Well, that, otherwise, add some sugar?"

Doctor Ren waved his hand, very wise and airy, "No, no, how can you add anything to the medicine casually."

Mu Mu sniffed the medicine carefully, and an indescribably disgusting smell rushed into his nostrils, making his stomach twitch a little.No wonder Ye Tianche looked like he was about to vomit, she opened her mouth cautiously, trying to persuade Doctor Ren, "But he is afraid of suffering, so he will definitely not be able to drink like this, adding some sugar will make it much better."

Doctor Ren looked at Ye Tianche with disdain, and snorted, "What is a big man afraid of, he is not afraid of being laughed at if he speaks out!"

Ye Tianche raised his eyebrows and gestured, "I'm not afraid of suffering, but your medicine is too disgusting." After speaking, he took the bowl and drank it from the rim in one gulp.

Dr. Ren didn't show much expression. He shook his sleeves and said, "Drink the medicine for three days in the morning, noon and evening, and I promise you can sing folk songs with a clear voice."

Ye Tianche hummed, obviously not believing what he said.

As soon as Doctor Ren left the door, Ye Tianche rushed to the water tank and vomited wildly. Fortunately, the medicine had almost entered his stomach, and only a small part was vomited out. He vomited for a while, and then poured water into his mouth desperately to rinse. He said, "Old man, what is in the medicine, why is it so bitter?"

Mu Mu peeled off a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, "It seems that Coptis chinensis is added, but don't worry, I have read Dr. Song's prescription, and I also sent it to a teacher who studies Chinese medicine, and so many people have used it , there will be no problem."

A trace of sweetness diffused from the tip of his tongue, and Ye Tianche felt better now. He stood up and breathed slowly, but when he thought of having to drink that kind of thing every morning, noon and night, he couldn't help but slump his shoulders.

In the end, after drinking for seven days in a row, Ye Tianche could only produce simple monosyllables, and stood in the courtyard every morning to practice vocal cords non-stop.

Mu Mu was in a hurry, and asked Dr. Ren every day why it didn't work. Didn't you say it would only take three days?

Dr. Ren didn't find out what happened for a long time, so he had to get rid of her and hide in the pharmacy to look through medical books. It's really strange. This prescription was written by him ten years ago, and it has been used until now. There are countless people who have been cured. Number, how could this fail.

Called Ye Tianche over, pinched and pinched his neck, and looked into his mouth with a flashlight for a long time, but couldn't figure out what the problem was, and only pulled his beard impatiently as if thinking.

Ye Tianche couldn't stand it anymore. Because of drinking that medicine these days, he felt sick all day long when he saw food, but he couldn't stop eating it, so he vomited and ate every day, and vomited after eating. It was so uncomfortable, and finally Erupted.

Pulling Doctor Ren's gray beard, Ye Tianche frowned, gritted his teeth, and gestured, can you cure it? !
Seeing that Doctor Ren's mouth was crooked in pain, Mu Mu hurried forward and half-coaxed and half-persuaded Ye Tianche to let go. Ye Tianche stood aside with his arms folded, stared at him bitterly, and waved his paw towards Mu Mu. This old man is a quack who cheats money.

The old doctor said "Oh—" several times, and stroked the beard that Ye Tianche was about to tear off. He sighed sadly and said, "Take this and go to the opposite mountain to find that girl and see if she can do anything."

After finishing speaking, he walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

Mu Mu was a little worried, "Doctor Song seems very disheartened, could it be that he was really hit by the failure?" An experienced and famous doctor like him must seek help when he encounters such a situation that cannot be cured. Self-esteem takes a hit.

Ye Tianche snorted, took Mu Mu's shoulders and walked out, that old fox pretended to be pitiful when he had nothing to do.

In the room, the old man saw the two children leave through the gap in the window, he calmed down and stroked his heart, and after he settled down for a while, he smiled knowingly, it seemed that he was really old.

The girl didn't show any surprise when she saw them coming back, as if she had expected it.Seeing the strange herbal medicine Mu Mu handed over, she readily agreed to treat Ye Tianche.

The girl's treatment method not only includes traditional Chinese medicine, but also combines acupuncture and moxibustion. Just like the old doctor, it is done in the morning, noon and evening, according to the time of eating.

The girl pierced several big holes around his neck with needles, Ye Tianche immediately screamed like a pig, Mu Mu watched beside him, unable to sit still anxiously, seeing him sweating profusely from the pain, so he just walked over and knelt down. Next to Ye Tianche, he kept comforting softly, "be patient, be patient, it will be fine."And carefully said to the girl, doctor, can you be gentle, he is very afraid of pain, why don't you give him some anesthetic——

The girl casually threw a towel over for Ye Tianche to bite on, while pointing at the door, she said impatiently to Mu Mu, "Go out, it's making me have a headache."

Mu Mu hesitated, Ye Tianche bit the towel, shook her hand, shook his head lightly to indicate that he was fine, and let her go out obediently.

Mu Mu looked at the girl standing aside who refused to give the needle for a long time, nodded to her apologetically, and walked out step by step.

The voice inside was much quieter, and Mu Mu leaned against the wall, with her head slightly lowered against the wall, unable to see her expression clearly.

I don't know how long it took, but finally, the girl withdrew the needle. Seeing the door open, Mu Mu rushed up to support Ye Tianche, who was a little tottering, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you all right?"

Ye Tianche smiled weakly at her and shook his head.

Mu Mu saw that his face was pale, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat, she frowned, "If it hurts, let's not treat it, okay?"

Since the old doctor had treated her for a week but it didn't work, Mu Mu had regretted it a bit.She has seen every bit of Ye Tianche's suffering these days. If he hadn't insisted on it, he wouldn't have suffered so many wronged crimes.

The girl who was receiving the needle was not angry when she heard this, but said slowly, "His injury is more serious, and the needle will naturally be deeper. It is indeed painful, and it will become more and more painful. It is up to you to decide whether to treat it or not." .”

Ye Tianche shook his head resolutely, he didn't want to give up, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of the darkness, even if it was faint, he still wanted to catch it.

He still has something he wants to say to her personally. If he can't say it, he will regret it for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want to regret it for the rest of his life.

The treatment persisted like this. After half a month, Ye Tianche could barely speak a few words. Mu Mu was so happy that she helped the girl cook every day when she had nothing to do.

After getting along with each other these days, Mu Mu knew that the girl's name was Licorice, and she was the apprentice of the old doctor Song opposite. The doctor's life-long true story, young people are always bold and innovative, so the medical skills of licorice are probably slightly better than the master.Originally, the two masters and apprentices had always cooperated tacitly, but later the two had differences in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient. Look at the sick that the old man can't see well.

"It's amazing, Mu Mu, your dishes are better than the chef's." Licorice patted her bulging stomach with a satisfied face, lying on the chair unable to get up.

Mu Mu put away the bowl, pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's a pity, I won't be able to eat such delicious food tomorrow." Licorice pursed her lips in a regretful tone.

Mu Mu was puzzled, so she stopped what she was doing and moved a stool to sit beside her.

Licorice sighed faintly, "Tomorrow is the last treatment, after tomorrow you can leave."

Mu Mu was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

The two were already very familiar, Licorice reached out and poked her forehead, "You are heartless."

Mu Mu reached out to hold her hand, and said in a very solemn tone, "Thank you Licorice, really."

"Just don't forget me," Licorice smiled. "It's best to come and cook for me for half a month every year."

Mu Mu looked into her eyes, and answered honestly, "I'm sorry, this, no."

Licorice laughed, "Okay, okay, what a silly boy."

After finishing the last acupuncture, Licorice wrapped two large bags of herbs for Mu Mu, and told her in detail how and how to stay up late, and then reluctantly sent them away.

The two of them walked for a long way, and seeing Licorice still standing there motionless, Mu Mu turned her head and shouted with the greatest strength and voice, "Licorice, I will definitely come to see you again!"

Ye Tianche's voice now sounds like a duck quacking, even he himself finds it unpleasant, so he can only wave his hands desperately while mouthing silently.

The two of them have been in Yunnan for almost a month, but they haven't gone anywhere yet. Now that they have almost finished their work, they can just take a stroll.

Ye Tianche was so bored that he had a good night's sleep. Early the next morning, Ye Tianche followed the original plan to go to the center of KM to watch the "Three Squares of Pinzi" - that is, the Golden Horse Square, the Bibi Chicken Square, Zhongai Square, strolled around the old Kunming street scene, Guandong, Xita Temple, went to Jianxin Garden to taste Kunming's special snack "Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles", and then the two of them lazily leaned on the gazebo by the green lake to enjoy the fire brilliant sunset.

Then go to the "Stone Forest", the karst lava landform, the vivid and natural calcified stone groups, and the strong Yi ethnic customs. This special experience made both of them very excited.

Then go to the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple in Dali, the ancient city of Dali, and visit the "Foreigner Street" with both Chinese and Western styles. In the afternoon, enter Lijiang and visit Shuhe Ancient Town. Two people walk, eat and play without worrying about time. Stop and rest for a few days, then move on.

Finally, I went to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The tour guide sitting in the front row of the cable car said enthusiastically, "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is famous for its danger, strangeness, beauty and beauty, is majestic, exquisite and beautiful. Obviously, the temperature difference between the mountains and the mountains is the most direct sign of the vegetation. Regarding Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, there is a magical story among the Naxi people: it is said that Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain are a pair of twin brothers. One day, a vicious demon king suddenly came from the north. He occupied the Jinsha River and forbade people to pan for gold. Yulong and Haba brothers were furious, and swung their swords to fight against the demon king. Brother Haba lacked strength and was unfortunately cut down by the demon. After losing his head, Brother Yulong fought against the devil for three days and three nights, cutting off [-] swords in a row, and finally drove the devil away. From then on, Brother Haba became a headless Haba Snow Mountain. Brother Yulong wanted to prevent the devil from invading again. , holding high thirteen swords day and night, which later turned into thirteen snow peaks. And his battle sweat turned into black water and white water. Jade Dragon Mountain is often regarded as the external symbol of the Naxi people, and this legendary The hero of the Jade Dragon has become a symbol of the inner spirit of the Naxi people, and "Sanduo", the patron saint of the Naxi people, is the incarnation of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain."

After listening to the tour guide's introduction, Mu Mu leaned slightly and looked down. The winding snow-capped mountains are beautiful and beautiful, and their majestic momentum can be vaguely seen in the hazy mist. Against the background of legends, it seems that this place really happened once. s story.

The cold wind blew, and Mu Mu was in a hurry to go out in the morning. She forgot to tie her scarf. Her completely exposed neck was stimulated by the cold. Come down, wrap it around her neck, she turned her head, and saw him leaning on the back of the chair and looking at her, the man in white with black hair, looking at her tenderly and intently, with deep eyes, straight nose, slightly curved The corners of the lips are so beautiful.

Within a few days, old man Song received two large packages of high-quality tea leaves. As for licorice, Mu Mu sent her a peerless cookbook and a box of local snacks.
