Chapter 29

Dawn broke in the east, and the rooster crowed. Hua Yin was dozing off on the table, but was woken up by this shock.He raised his hands and clenched his fists, punched his forehead a few times, stretched again, then stood up and walked towards the elder brother's bed in a nonchalant way, rolled up his sleeves with one hand, and put his hand on the elder brother's forehead. The low-grade fever that developed at night has subsided, so I am relieved.Dazedly, he was about to return to the table and lie down again when he suddenly felt something was wrong.What's wrong?What about the loud snoring last night?After being startled for a while, Hua Yin raised her head abruptly, and saw that the bed behind the young couple was empty, only a piece of medicine prescription was left on it.

Last night, the strange old man said that Hua Yong's injury was afraid of catching a fever at night, so he needed someone to take care of him. Hua Yin didn't believe the few doctors of average ability in Yaogu County, and was worried that the women and maids were not dedicated, and never thought about counting on the strange old man. So he volunteered to take the job.

Hua's parents didn't agree, but the strange old man admired her general appearance, pointed at her and said, "It's just you."

Later, the strange old man asked Hua Dayi to temporarily build a bed in Hua Yong's room, Hua Yin hurriedly said: "Don't bother, I'll just rest on the recliner."

The strange old man glared at her, and she came to her senses, and she was very happy. Before Hua Dayi could go to work, she hurriedly urged him to set up the bed. Afterwards, the bedding and quilt covers were all clean, and Hua Yin did not pretend to be anyone else. It was paved with the help of enthusiastic Bala.

The strange old man looked on coldly, and when everything was settled, he drove out all the people in the house. Hua Rong was naturally worried that her daughter would be left in the house alone, and the strange old man was quite impatient. He hummed: "If you don't want to go, I will go."

Hua Yin hurriedly invited Hua Rong to the door with a few words, and asked Zhang Nanny to take her mother to rest, and said a word of comfort, and then closed the door.

After a while, there was another knock on the door, and Hua Erlang stretched out half of his body, seeing the strange old man looking at him frightened, he closed half of the door, and beckoned to Hua Yin.

Huayin walked over, but didn't ask any questions yet.Hua Erlang suddenly stuffed a bag of things into her arms, and said in a dazed manner, "Brother can only help you so far," and then ran away in a hurry.

Huayin lifted the cloth to look, and saw that it was the porcelain statue of Avalokitesvara enshrined in her room, and a few old talismans that he didn't know where he got.Hua Yin wanted to scold someone in anger, so she hurriedly held the porcelain statue of Guanyin with both hands and put it on the closet in the elder brother's room, and bowed reverently.

The strange old man sneered coldly, and said: "Hmph, most people in the world are ignorant, they don't believe in their own hands, they believe in this dead thing! I just said that you are a clever stinky girl, I didn't expect you to believe in such a fool, it seems It can’t go anywhere.”

Huayin clasped his hands together, looking at the Buddha statue as before, with a calm and soft face, and said slowly: "Whether you are smart or stupid, in the end, you just came here innocent and left with a filthy body. To keep my innocence for the rest of my life, I just want to keep a clean heart without regrets or complaints."

The strange old man gave her a blank look, then leaned over and lay down on the bed.Then I saw him pointing to a small table under his bed, "Lie there at night, don't fall asleep."

Huayin responded, rolled her eyes, and with a weird smile on her mouth, she leaned forward, beat the old man's leg, and said with a shy face, "Master, do you accept apprentices? Do you think I How about it? I will be your apprentice, okay? You are old, I respect you, I treat you as my father and grandfather..."

Huayin said a lot of flattering words on his own, but after a while, he only heard the strange old man's snoring sound like thunder. Huayin paused for beating his leg, was stunned, sighed lightly, but was not discouraged, and continued After beating for a long time, until he felt that the strange old man had fallen asleep, he got up, shook his sore hands, and looked after Brother Hui again.I don't know when, there were several knocks on the door outside the house, and Hua Yin was about to open the door, when she saw a straw sandal slamming on the door, and blamed the old man for shouting, "It's so noisy! Get out!"

Hua Yin was stunned on the spot, and there was no sound outside the house for a long time, and then Hua Rong said aggrievedly: "Mister, I just came to give you some supper."

"Go! Go! Women are annoying!" the strange old man muttered inarticulately, and then the snoring sounded like thunder. Hua Yin was afraid of offending the old man, so he only whispered through the door: "Mother, we are fine. , go back and rest."

Huarong was wronged, she couldn't help crying, she responded in a low voice, and followed Nanny Zhang, after that, she only sent the little girl to lie on the window and look at it a few times.

If it is said that Huayin's energy was good in the first half of the night, in the second half of the night, she only felt that her panting was vain, and she couldn't help wanting to doze off. After all, she had just recovered from a serious illness and her body was weak, so she couldn't stay up through the night at all.But just fell asleep in a haze, and was kicked from the small table to the ground.

Huayin's bones hurt from being kicked, tired and wronged, her eyes were red.

The strange old man snorted coldly and said, "Just like you, you still want to learn medicine from a teacher and save lives? You can't stand it after staying up all night. You should go back to your mother's arms and learn how to cook soup with needles and threads."

Huayin pouted angrily, and went to check on her brother in anger, but found that his forehead was a little hot, she was startled, completely lost sleepiness, and hurriedly asked the strange old man what to do.

The strange old man sneered, "I know I'm in a hurry now? Why did you go just now? If all the doctors are as slack as you are, I'm afraid that one doctor will die." Seeing that Hua Yin was anxious to wipe away her tears, she He snorted disdainfully from his nostrils, and then slowly said, "That kind of heat, it's okay." He explained the reason casually, it turned out that it was just the common absorption heat (modern word) after the injured fractured , usually two or three days.

Although the strange old man used harsh words when explaining, and derogated Huayin to nothing, he explained it in a detailed and clear way, and drew inferences from one analogy, and listed other diseases for comparison.Huayin pricked up her ears, listening very carefully.

After that, some miscellaneous things happened, so I don't need to repeat them.Let's say that Huayin only took a nap, and when she woke up, she couldn't blame the old man alone. She was so anxious that she searched around the room, and then hurriedly opened the door.

The cold air outside the house was very heavy, and Huayin sneezed several times in a row.

Huayin lowered her voice as much as possible and searched for it, but found nothing.I met an old lady who got up early.

The old lady said hello to her, and asked about the situation of the eldest and young master, and then went to cook by herself.

At dawn, all the members of the Hua family rushed to see Hua Yong. They didn't sleep well last night. Hua Dayi even secretly climbed onto the roof, uncovered a tile, and lay on the roof to monitor the situation. After a while, seeing that the house was safe and quiet, I went back to the room.

After breakfast, Hua Rong asked Hua Yin to rest, and personally served the eldest son to eat and take medicine.

Although Hua Yin was lying on the bed, she was tossing and turning, and secretly resented in her heart that she had finally met an expert from the outside world but didn't keep him. Now that he's gone like this, I'm afraid that my desire to help the world in this life will not go smoothly. I regret and hate in my heart.The more you think about it, the clearer your mind becomes.Finally unable to sleep, turned over and got out of bed.

It happened that Hua Erlang passed by, so Huayin took Hua Erlang to go out together to find someone.After searching all morning, they still found nothing. After returning home, Hua Rong saw that Hua Yin was so thin that she was out of shape. She was shocked and pressed her to the bed, ordered her to rest, and even sent someone to bring her lunch. , eaten in bed.

After Huayin finished eating, seeing her mother staring at her tightly, she closed her eyes helplessly, but she really fell asleep.Unexpectedly, she saw that strange old man in her dream, Hua Yin was overjoyed, grabbed him and laughed, "I won't tell you to run away this time!"

When he opened his eyes, he saw emerald green in front of him.

It was dark outside.

While Huayin was in a daze, Cuilu pulled her sleeves and pulled her out, Huayin didn't know what to do, she hurriedly put on her clothes and followed her out.

Walking to the back hall, I saw that the strange old man was at home yesterday, and Hua Dayi treated him as a guest of honor, entertaining him with good tea and delicious food.

It's just that this old man is even more sloppy than yesterday, with a bad smell all over his body, his face is jet-black, and there are many straws stuck in his messy hair.

"Master, your old man is back!" Huayin was overjoyed, and hurried over, trying to hug his arm, but couldn't help the smell all over his body, so she had to stop two steps away from him, looking Looking at him with a beautiful smile on his face.

At this moment, an old woman came up and said that the bath water had been boiled, and asked the old man to move to the bathing room.

Hua Dayi stood up and invited the strange old man over.

The strange old man didn't talk nonsense, and went directly with the old lady.

Hua Yin waited anxiously in the back hall, and soon went to the bathing room. Before she got close, she heard the old lady saying to a servant: "Why do you keep these rotten clothes? Throw them away! Throw them away!"

Then I saw a young servant pinching his nose, holding a tongs in his hand, and carrying a pile of smelly and dirty clothes, he hurried past Hua Yin and walked out of the backyard door.

It was strange that the old man had been taking a bath for more than an hour, and the servants in the family were instructed to add water several times, and they complained a lot, but they were not easy to attack.

When the strange old man came out after freshening up, Hua Yin was already impatient, and rushed forward, smiling shamelessly, "Master..."

The strange old man didn't even look at her, and he tore the clothes up and down, as if a centipede was crawling on him.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"What kind of clothes are these? It's so rough, I feel uncomfortable wearing them." The strange old man complained.

The old lady replied angrily when she heard the words: "This is a satin robe made by our master a month ago. He didn't even want to wear it once. He just waited for a big event at home to wear it. It's cheap for you. The best brocade, Soft and smooth, how could it be rough!"

Blaming the old man for still feeling weak, "No, no, I can't wear these clothes. What about my own clothes? I still wear my own."

The old lady's eyes widened when she heard this, "You old man, why are you so clueless!"

The strange old man also got angry, "I just want my own clothes."

"What are you yelling, you already threw it away!"

"What!" The strange old man was furious when he heard that, "You rotten woman, why are you throwing my clothes?"

"Why? You still want to beat me! You old bastard!"

"You! I think you are about fifty at most. I am fully older and you are sixty. You can be regarded as a person of your great-grandfather's generation. How dare you call me a dishonest old thing! Beg to be beaten!" After the strange old man yelled, he really hit it with his hands, the old lady was quick, although she was not hit, but her voice was not low, just like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered, crowing non-stop.

Hua Yin hurriedly stood in the middle, stopped the two of them, and called other people to take the old lady away.

After finally calming down the strange old man, Hua Yin hurriedly grabbed the boy in front of him and asked where the old clothes had been thrown away, and the boy said that it was thrown far away in the deep and smelly ditch outside the back door.
