Chapter 373 Night Sweat
Liao Guibing smiled when he heard this, cupped his hands and said, "Master Du, please get in the car." After speaking, he personally helped Du Wenhao into the car.

Du Wenhao returned to the carriage, and the carriage continued on its way. Ke Yao opened the curtain and looked out, and said in a low voice, "This Liao Guibing is really affectionate. He has sent him ten miles away. He really wants to send him out of the Jingjiang Mansion?"

Du Wenhao smiled: "It's the so-called 'drunkards don't want to drink'!"

"What do you mean?"

Du Wenhao smiled but did not answer.

Ke Yao saw that there was no response in the car, so he rolled his eyes at Du Wenhao. Du Wenhao smiled and closed his eyes. Ke Yao knelt down and sat down between Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin, and poked Du Wenhao's waist with his hand. Du Wenhao opened his eyes and looked at Ke Yao sideways. He saw Ke Yao looking at him with a playful smile. Didn't you get over the alcohol last night? Why bother, let me sleep for a while. "

"Hmph! Who told you to ignore me! Come on, what do you mean by Zhifu Liao's ulterior motives?"

"Think for yourself!"

"I don't! I want you to tell me!"

Pang Yuqin interjected, "Ke Yao, just let your brother sleep for a while. He barely closed his eyes last night. You can see that his eyes are all red."

Ke Yao pursed his lips and snorted, leaned into Du Wenhao's ear and whispered, "Tell me, what were you thinking about last night?"

"Miss you! Is it alright?" Du Wenhao teased without opening his eyes.

"Bah!" Ke Yao slapped him lightly: "You won't miss me! I know, you're wondering what kind of shady little secret this Liao Guibing has!"

"Oh?" Du Wenhao still didn't open his eyes, "How do you know?"

"It's not easy to know? Last night, Dr. Xie brought his family to look for you, and they murmured for a long time in the room. Then you called Master Shen into the room, and the two of them murmured for a long time, I heard When you mentioned Prefect Liao several times, you immediately decided to leave Jingjiang Mansion early the next morning. Isn’t it related to him?”

"Smart and clever!" Du Wenhao opened his eyes and smiled, "Let's not talk about this, let's sleep for a while, we have things to do at night."

"what's up?"

"You'll know when the time comes. If you don't want to sleep, go play by yourself!"

"Hmph!" Ke Yao rolled his eyes at him, knelt down and crawled back to Lin Qingdai's side.

Lian'er on the side put her hands in front of her cheeks and made her a sleeping position. Ke Yao gently opened a corner of the curtain, and saw Liao Guibing leisurely riding on the horse, not far behind their cart , with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she put down the car curtain and leaned her head on Lin Qingdai's shoulder with a very comfortable look.

Lin Qingdai also closed her eyes and asked softly, "Why can't you sleep?"

Ke Yao sighed and closed his eyes: "Everyone can sleep, so can I. Sleep, everyone sleep together!"

Lin Qingdai patted Ke Yao's little hand lightly, and after a while she heard Ke Yao snoring lightly. Du Wenhao opened his eyes and saw Lin Qingdai looking at him, the two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

In the evening, the car stopped. Li Pu lifted the curtain and said, "My lord, we have arrived at the junction of Liuzhou Mansion and Jingjiang Mansion."

Du Wenhao got up and got out of the car, and saw that Liao Guibing was already waiting in front of the car. Du Wenhao got out of the car and stretched, and said to Liao Guibing with a smile: "It's hard work, Mr. Liao, to be sent here."

Liao Guibing clasped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Du didn't sleep well last night, it is necessary to catch up on the return sleep on the way. I won't send my lord if I send you a lowly job here." After saying hello, a few guards came over, and there were only four guards He lifted a large wooden box and placed it in front of Du Wenhao.

Liao Guibing pointed to the wooden box and said: "Master Du, this is a wish from several officials of our Jingjiang Mansion. I hope Mr. Du will not laugh at it. As the saying goes, politeness is less important than affection, and I hope Mr. Du will accept it."

Du Wenhao: "What's in this box?"

At this time, Ke Yao jumped out of the car, walked to the box, patted it with his hands, and then said to Liao Guibing with a smile: "Master Liao, could it be that he gave all the property of the Jingjiang Mansion to my brother?"

Liao Guibing smiled awkwardly: "You made me laugh, my mansion is in disaster, and I can't produce anything decent."

When Ke Yao opened the box, he saw some silk and satin underneath, and white silver ingots on top.It looks like a lot.He smiled and said, "Ha, I thought Master Liao was a diligent and frugal person, so he has so many people's anointings in his possession?"

Liao Guibing smiled wryly: "Miss, you are serious. These things are entrusted by our gentry and celebrities from the seven counties of Jingjiang Prefecture to your lord and your wives. There is also a little thought from Miss Ke. Mrs. Du thinks about the people of my mansion and spares no effort to treat them. , imparting medical skills, hard work and great achievements, the whole family is grateful for your kindness, so..."

Du Wenhao cupped his hands and said: "Since it is a wish from Lord Liao and the common people, if I don't accept it with a smile, will I not be giving face to Lord Liao and the people of your house? Accept it!"

Ke Yao was stunned, but Liao Guibing was overjoyed, and quickly ordered the guards to move the wooden box to the carriage accompanied by Du Wenhao and the others.

Du Wenhao: "Okay, Master Liao will send it here, go back and thank Master Zhang and the other county magistrates one by one, just say I'm bothering you, everyone will meet later."

Everyone got out of the car and said goodbye to Liao Guibing one by one, and then got on the car. Liao Guibing watched Du Wenhao and his carriage drive into the border of Liuzhou, and then got on the horse.

"My lord, do you want to send someone to follow?" Zhang Tianning leaned forward and whispered.

Liao Guibing sneered: "No need, he seems to have seen something tricky. If he doesn't accept our money, he would really send a few people to follow him. Now it seems that he is just a snobbish man who is greedy for money."

Zhang Tianning nodded and said, "That's right. He's pretending to ask around, isn't he just trying to extort a little more money from us? His eyes lit up when he saw the white money just now."

"Hey, who has hatred against yellow and white things? Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money! Words of wisdom!"

"Yes, my lord has great insight."

"After going back, give me a good hello to all the people who have made trouble with us these days. Don't let anyone go!"

"Yes!"

Liao Guibing shook the reins of the horse, and the horse roared to the sky, turned around and ran towards Jingjiang Mansion.A group of people hurriedly huffed and followed behind.

Du Wenhao and his cart moved forward unhurriedly.

In the car, Ke Yao pouted and turned his face to look out the window, looking annoyed.

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "What's the matter? It was fine before."

"Huh!" Ke Yao turned his face and shouted at Du Wenhao: "Brother, haven't you heard of taking advantage of others? This Liao Guibing looks like a smiling tiger, and you still take money from him! Unexpectedly, you are also a corrupt official!"

Lin Qingdai shouted softly: "Ke Yao is not allowed to talk to your brother like this!"

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Since I have already suffered from the softness of others, it doesn't matter to take advantage of others!"

Ke Yao's face turned pale with anger, and he said angrily, "Brother! The money collected for teaching and training along the way has piled up into a mountain, and it can't be spent in a few lifetimes. Do you still care about his little money?"

Lin Qingdai smiled and said: "Your brother is the drunkard! Silly girl"

"What's not in the wine?" Ke Yao asked.

"Your brother has already made up his mind. Didn't I say it earlier, let you have a good rest on this journey. Do you have something to do in the evening? Collecting his money is just a trick to make them think that we are the kind of people who are greedy for money. Naturally, we can go back with confidence. Alright, let's get started."

Du Wenhao took a look at Lin Qingdai: "You are really clever. It seems that you should be careful when making trouble with you."

"Yeah, are you scared?" Lin Qingdai also laughed.

"You are my female Zhuge, and I need your clever little head!"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't be in a hurry," Du Wenhao took time out, "Find an inn ahead and stay first. Tonight, Qing Dai, Master Shen and I dive back to Jingjiang to find out what happened."

"Then what about us?" Ke Yao was unhappy when he heard that, and said, "I want to go too!"

Lin Qingdai comforted: "There are too many people, and it is easy to be discovered. You and your sister-in-law and the others stay in the inn obediently and wait for news."

Ke Yao quit: "No, I must go, I don't want to let go of such a fun thing, I can also learn martial arts!"

Lin Qingdai smiled: "You also call it martial arts?"

"Of course!" Ke Yao waved his slender arms, "I can't compare to Sister Qingdai, but to Sister Fei'er..." She glanced at Xue Fei'er, and saw that she was looking at her with a twitch at the corner of her mouth. With a touch of sneer, he hurriedly said: "Of course it can't compare, but it's still no problem to deal with three or two big men."

Du Wenhao said: "We're not going to fight, otherwise, it would be enough to ask General Li to lead a group of people. Too many people can easily expose the target!"

"I'm so thin, I won't expose it!"

Everyone laughed.

Ke Yao grabbed Du Wenhao's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Let me go, brother, Sister Qingdai went to investigate, I can protect you!"

Du Wenhao couldn't help but said, "You? Forget it, you still lack personal protection."

"Let me go!" Ke Yao grabbed Du Wenhao's arm and twisted it like a twist.

Pang Yuqin said with a smile: "Master, why don't you let Ke Yao go with you, she is so smart, and she can punch, maybe she can use it at a critical time, besides, what she decides is something that ten cows can't pull back Yes, not agreeing will grind you all night."

Ke Yao snorted: "Let's not talk about ten cows, even a hundred cows."

Everyone laughed again.

Du Wenhao: "Okay, I'll let you go, but you must obey my arrangement and don't cause trouble."

"I know." Ke Yao stuck out his tongue and nodded obediently, "What are we going to check this time?"

Du Wenhao lifted the curtain of the car, pointed to the rice fields outside, and said, "Look, did you find anything?"

He had been talking just now, but he didn't pay attention to the outside, Du Wenhao gave such a reminder, so he looked intently.

"Huh?" Ke Yao exclaimed in surprise, "There are straws piled up in the fields, is it possible that rice has been harvested in these fields?"

"Hey!" Xue Fei'er sneered, "Is there even a need to ask? Look a little farther away, here, over there, what is rice that doesn't grow in the field? It hasn't been harvested yet!"

Everyone followed Xue Feier's fingers to look, and sure enough, the heavy ears of rice in the golden rice fields in the distance were hanging down and fluttering in the autumn wind, which made people happy to watch.

Ke Yao's eyes widened: "This is really strange, isn't it a disaster? Why is there a harvest in the field here, and green grass in the field over there?"

Du Wenhao said coldly: "This is exactly what we want to find out when we go back. There are other things to be found out. Liao Guibing and several county magistrates followed like followers along the way. Nothing was found out, and the common people hid Look at us. No one is willing to tell the truth, I hope this secret visit after disguise will find out the truth."

"What truth?"

"Last night, Dr. Xie came to me and said something, which was very shocking. After discussing with Master Shen, I felt that this matter must be handled, not only for the sake of Jingjiang people, but also to show that we can show our loyalty. This time, it must be done cleanly and beautifully. Master Shen and I have made a careful plan, and we will follow everything according to the plan, so there should be no problem."

"What plan?" Ke Yao asked again foolishly.

"Let me tell you, can you keep the password?" Du Wenhao asked seriously.

"I can!"

"I can too!" Du Wenhao smiled.

"Ah?" Ke Yao's eyes widened, and then he realized that Du Wenhao was teasing him, "It's annoying! Don't say it!"

When it was getting dark, they stayed at an inn in a small town.

After eating, Du Wenhao sent Li Pu to take a few guards to change into casual clothes and go out to investigate the planting and harvesting of the local rice fields.

Yingzi made Du Wenhao a cup of tea.Du Wenhao asked: "When I was eating, I saw the stupid head listless, what's the matter?"

Yingzi said: "I don't know, maybe I'm sick."

"Sick? Then why don't you find the masters or accept them?"

"I've seen it, it was read by Miaoshou, and I took some medicine, but it didn't help. He said it was nothing serious, so he didn't ask the imperial doctor Qian again."

"Call him, and I'll see. It happens to be free now."

"Okay."

After a while, Yingzi came with Xiaotou, and scolded him as he walked: "You, you are so big, why don't you know how to take care of yourself? You want someone to worry about you!"

Hantou muttered, "I've said it all, I'm fine."

"Nonsense! Wu Cong told me that every morning when you wake up, your head is sweaty, as if you just fished it out of the water. You are working as a clerk in a pharmacy yourself. Don't fall ill by yourself. have no idea!"

"Why don't you just sweat a little more, it doesn't matter."

Yingzi had just walked to Du Wenhao's door, and when he heard what he said, he stopped, put one hand on his hips, pointed at his nose with the other, and said, "Who said it's okay? I heard from my wife and grandma that they said in medical books: 'The five viscera transform into liquid, the heart Sweat', and said that the heart is liquid and sweat. You sweat so much every night, your heart must be sick! - Humph, maybe you sweat so much because of your bad heart!"

Du Wenhao heard it in the room, laughed loudly, opened the door and said, "I can't tell, Yingzi also knows a lot of medical principles! That's right, heart essence and blood are the source of sweat transformation, as the so-called 'blood and sweat come from the same source', 'Sweat is the fluid of the heart'. Once sweating excessively, the body fluid will be seriously injured, it will consume the essence and blood of the heart, and symptoms such as palpitation and heart palpitations will appear. If it is well adjusted as before, it will cause a series of diseases. Come in!"

The silly fat man smiled, and after he came in, he stood aside but didn't dare to sit down.

Du Wenhao glared at him: "What are you doing standing there stupidly? It's not easy for me to feel your pulse standing there!"

"Yes, master." Silly Pang quickly sat down on the chair next to him.Put your hands on the coffee table.

Du Wenhao was not in a hurry to check the pulse, and asked, "Let's talk about the symptoms first. What's wrong?"

"No... nothing wrong."

Yingzi next to him stared at him: "Is it okay to say? Didn't you hear the young master say that you hide your debts, poverty, and death! Do you want to die?"

Sha Pang smiled and scratched his head, and said, "It's just... just sweating during sleep, sometimes dizzy, and physically weak."

"When did it start?"

"A month or two."

"Oh? That's what you got on Mount Emei?"

"Yes."

"Tell me about how you got sick."

"Well..., it was very hot at that time, and I was a little fat. I couldn't bear the heat, so I went out to enjoy the cool in the yard, and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was sweating all over my body, especially on my face and my face. Chest, and back. I thought it was too hot, but I didn’t care, so I took a cold shower. By then, it was already cold, so I went back to my room to sleep. When I woke up, I was covered in sweat again. .Since then, it has been like this every night, and I wake up sweating."

"Well, what medicine did Miao Shou prescribe for you?"

"Danggui Liuhuang Decoction, um, and Shengmaisan. I also added some medicines to suppress sweat."

"How's the effect?"

"To be honest, it's not very good, and it's even worse. Every time I wake up, I'm sweating, and even the pillow and quilt are wet."

Du Wenhao nodded, and ordered Yingzi to call Yan Miaoshou, and at the same time continued to ask the stupid fat: "How is your appetite?"

"I don't really want to eat."

"How does your mouth feel?"

"Well, my mouth feels very dry, but I don't really want to drink water."

"What about the second poop, is it normal?"

"The stool is okay, but the urine is red."

Du Wenhao nodded slightly, checked his pulse and checked his tongue, and then said, "Did you drink a lot during this time?"

"That's right. Everywhere along the way, there are people who are popular and drink hot food. Follow the young master to get rich. I didn't want to drink at first, but the person who took care of me tried to persuade me to drink. If I don't drink, I feel sorry."

At this time, Yan Miao pushed the door open and came in, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Master, are you calling me?"

"Well, silly fat night sweat, I saw you for a doctor, how did you differentiate the symptoms?"

Yan Miao hurriedly said: "The argument is that night sweats are caused by yin deficiency. The so-called 'yang deficiency spontaneous sweating, yin deficiency night sweat'..."

Du Wenhao interrupted him: "Then is the medicine you prescribed effective?"

Yan Miaoshou smiled awkwardly: "This...hehe, it doesn't work."

"Haven't you ever wondered why it didn't work?"

"I've thought about it, but I can't figure it out."

"Then why don't you ask your master? Or ask me?"

Yan Miaoshou was even more frightened: "I have been busy with training a while ago, and his illness has nothing to do with it, so I'm not in a hurry. I want to have a follow-up visit after I've been busy for a while."

Du Wenhao shook his head and said: "This is not an excuse. Time is like water in a sponge. There is always a squeeze. People who study medicine, if a disease cannot be cured, they must have the spirit of research and understand what's going on. If you don’t understand, just ask. Otherwise, if you don’t understand, you’ll wait, and if you don’t understand, you’ll wait, and there will be a lot of people who don’t understand, so you still want to become a talent?”

Yan Miaoshou's face turned red and white, and said embarrassingly, "Yes, thank you for your teaching, Master."
