Chapter 49 Surname Wen
After the summer harvest, the villagers are busy selling grain.
The whole street is lined with people carrying burdens and carts.
A black shed carriage came from the official road, followed by two sword-wielding attendants riding horses.
The villagers rarely saw horses of this kind and could not help but stop and watch.
I saw the carriage driving all the way to Rongji Pharmacy.
The carriage stopped in front of Rongji Pharmacy. The attendant dismounted and helped a gray-haired old man out of the carriage.
Then another young man of seventeen or eighteen years old got off the carriage.
"Ouch! Senior brother, why are you here in person?"
Mr. Li ran out of the shop in a hurry, almost tripping down on the way. When he saw the visitor, his hands trembled with excitement.
The old man cupped his hands at him and said with a smile, "Is your farewell okay?"
Li Langzhong's eyes were slightly red, and he stepped forward and bowed, "I'm sorry to hear my thoughts from my senior brother. Senior brother, please follow me into the room and sit down."
The old man nodded with a smile and pulled the young man beside him, "This is my eldest grandson, Hengchuan; Hengchuan, this is my fifth junior brother, come and see me."
Hengchuan stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, Fifth Division Police."
Li Langzhong hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you guys are tired from the journey, come quickly and follow me into the house to talk."
Several people walked into the drug store and walked to the back hall.
Li Langzhong asked his two grandsons to boil water to make tea, and ordered his servants to arrange for his senior brother's carriage and attendants to rest in the courtyard.
The three of them sat down and started talking.
"Xinzhi, how is the recovered person you mentioned in your letter doing now?" the old man asked.
"Good! Very good!" Li Langzhong said: "I saw him a while ago, with a ruddy complexion and a strong body."
The old man picked up the tea, blew it on, and asked, "Can I see this person?"
Li Langzhong touched his beard, pondered for a moment, and said: "I can see him, but he lives in a village five or six miles away from here. Going to summon people rashly may arouse unnecessary suspicion. And it is the busy farming season..."
The old man waved his hand, "I'm not calling him to see you. I want to visit his home in person."
"That's feasible." Li Langzhong said with a smile: "The Jiang family is kind and easy-going. When you go, his family will definitely sweep up the couch to welcome you."
The old man smiled, put down his tea bowl and said, "Xinzhi, can you let me see the pulse record you recorded?"
"Of course, of course." Mr. Li stood up and went to look for the pulse.
Those who practice medicine will record every incurable disease they encounter. People like Jiang Erlang who were miraculously cured will be recorded verbatim.
Mr. Li held up a large brochure and handed it to his senior brother Wen Jingyan, "Senior brother, please read it."
Wen Jingyan took the booklet and opened it carefully.
The book not only records Jiang Erlang's pulse condition a few years ago, but also records every pulse test last year, including his daily diet and his subsequent pulse condition after recovery.
Wen Jingyan picked up a few strands of hair caught in the pulse table and asked, "What is this?"
Li Langzhong pointed to the dried transparent liquid on his hair and said: "His brother was hit on the head last time. When he came here for treatment, the wound was almost healed, as if he had applied some medicine in advance. When asked about it, he took another sip. deny."
As he spoke, he touched his nose in shame and said, "Foolish brother was curious, so he left this strand of his hair without authorization."
Wen Jingyan twirled the transparent substance on his hair, put it under his nose and smelled it, then nodded: "It has a slight fragrance, but I can't tell what it is."
The young man beside him said: "Grandpa, why not melt it into water and give it to small animals to try."
Wen Jingyan nodded: "It's feasible."
So Mr. Li asked his servant to catch a cat, cut off some of its hair, and make a small wound with a knife.
Then soak those few strands of hair in a little cold water, and the dry transparent substance will gradually melt.
Wen Jingyan took matters into his own hands, dipped a clean cotton cloth in water and applied it on the kitten's wound.
After half a stick of incense, the wound was indeed healed and scabbed.
All three of them were shocked.
"What kind of medicine is this? It's so miraculous."
Wen Jingyan looked cautious and turned to the two of them: "This matter is not trivial. You and I must be careful with our words, otherwise we will harm others and ourselves."
Li Langzhong and Wen Hengchuan immediately swore: "This matter will never be revealed to others, otherwise humans and gods will be killed."
Wen Jingyan nodded, stroking his beard and said: "We, the Wen family, have been practicing medicine for generations. We should set an example and never do anything that would harm someone's life. If you believe it, you are considered half a descendant of my Wen family. This matter will be buried in you and me." .”
Li Langzhong stood up and held his hands, "Senior brother, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will never get involved with the Jiang family."
"That's good."
Wen Jingyan sighed: "I came here this time only to save the child. I have no other ambitions. Since the life and death of my Wen family is at stake, I have to act with caution. Trust me, I hope you will be considerate."
"Senior brother, please don't say this. My wealth and life are all given by my master. I am just asking for some medicine for you.
Moreover, we are just asking for medicine and have no intention of robbery. As long as we give generous rewards and promise that his family will be safe and sound, the Jiang family will be willing to do so. "
"Oh, I hope." Wen Jingyan sighed softly, "Don't rush this matter, let's go take a look first and then make plans.
After all, that family has been hiding it and doesn't seem to want others to know. If they rush to seek medicine, they will definitely become resistant. "
This matter needs to be dealt with slowly.
"Okay, I will take my senior brother to Chencun for a walk tomorrow." Li Langzhong said.
"Um."
The next day, Yingbao was walking the deer with her brothers.
I saw a carriage coming from the village and slowly stopped in front of the uncle's house.
Three people got off the carriage, two old and one young, and Mr. Li was among them.
The villagers were curious and gathered around to watch the fun.
The three of them stood at the entrance of the courtyard. Mr. Li asked loudly: "Is Brother Jiang at home?"
Old Man Jiang heard the sound and came out. When he saw it was Mr. Li, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "It turns out to be Mr. Li. What kind of wind brought you here?"
Li Langzhong smiled and said: "My senior brother Wen passes by this place occasionally. Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers here, he wanted to come and take a look at the scenery."
"That's a good relationship." Old Man Jiang chuckled and offered his hand to Wen Jingyan: "Mr. Wen, please come in and sit down."
Wen Jingyan quickly responded: "I'm disturbing Brother Jiang."
"Where is it?" Old Man Jiang smiled and let the person go home.
Wen Hengchuan also came over and saluted: "Junior Wen Hengchuan, pay homage to Mr. Jiang."
Old Man Jiang blinked. It was the first time he heard someone call him husband, and he felt that he was instantly taller and more powerful. "Haha, this little brother is..."
Wen Jingyan smiled and said: "He is my eldest grandson, his name is Hengchuan. Brother Jiang can just call him Hengchuan."
"Ah? Haha, okay, that little brother Hengchuan, come in quickly."
Old Man Jiang let the three of them into the yard. Because the room was a little dark, he set up a few benches under the persimmon tree, brought in a small dining table, and invited people to sit at the table.
Sister Jiang hurriedly went to make tea.
But there was no tea in the house, and it was not easy for people to drink boiled water, so they boiled a pot of water with fresh bamboo leaves and brought it to them.
Ying Bao also came over to see Xiqi, and felt a little pang in her heart when she heard that their surname was Wen.
Your surname is Wen? Is it Wen from Sister Wen’s house?
She quickly sent her brother home and came over to eavesdrop on their conversation.
