The moon falling to the ground
Chapter 40 Yan Kuo's Lifeline
Yun Zhonghe counted with his fingers, then looked at Jian Yue's face. There were faint signs of fortune lines appearing on her dark and yellow face.
The little girl was lucky, and there was a windfall waiting for her today. Yun Zhonghe quickly let her go.
The young man in brocade clothes sat on the ground, all dirty. He hugged the horse's head and cried with snot and tears, more sad than if his own father had died.
"The horse has been poisoned. If we delay any longer, even gods won't be able to save it." The sudden voice was like the sound of nature. When the crying young man heard that his baby could still be saved, he immediately jumped up and said, "As long as you save my Taxue..."
Yan Kuo's voice stopped abruptly.
The thin and small person in front of me was dressed in gray-blue coarse cloth, with his head and face covered tightly with a piece of rag, leaving only a pair of bright black eyes exposed.
beggar?
This was a word that popped up automatically in Yan Kuo's mind.
Yan Kuo's servant Liu Tong said impatiently: "Where did you come from, beggar? What are you doing? Get out of here if you don't want to die!"
Yan Kuo was a well-known uneducated and unlearned person in Yanling Prefecture. He did not like eating, drinking, whoring or gambling, but his favorite thing was horses. He loved horses more than his own father.
He took any horse he liked home and treated it like an ancestor. It was said that his stable was better than the house he lived in.
When his horse was out for a walk, he would beat anyone who touched him to death.
The snow-covered horse he took out for a walk today was his lifeblood. When his horse suddenly fell to the ground, passers-by were so frightened that they scattered and hurriedly hid, fearing that they would be contaminated and lose their lives.
The servant Liu Tong never expected that there would be someone who was not afraid of death and would bump into him ignorantly and fearlessly at this moment.
Jian Yue ignored Liu Tong's scolding, looked at Yan Kuo and said: "If we delay any longer, we really can't save him. If you have a way, you won't be crying here. Why not give me a chance, try it out, maybe there is a glimmer of hope. You have to make a decision quickly, the longer you delay, the less hope there is to save him."
Yan Kuo's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Jian Yue fiercely: "Okay, you save her. If you can save my Taxue, I will give you one hundred... no, one thousand taels of silver. If you can't save her..." He smiled grimly, "I will let you be buried with Taxue."
Jian Yue sneered: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Even if a god comes, he can't guarantee that you will be saved. There is always a chance of something happening. I don't want to pay with my life for a horse. Go find someone who dares to guarantee you!" Jian Yue turned and left.
Yan Kuo and Liu Tong were dumbfounded.
Yan Kuo was anxious and hurriedly stopped Jian Yue: "You can't leave!"
"If you take back your last words, I will detoxify your horse. If you don't, I will leave Taxue to die." Jian Yue refused to give in.
"I'll beat him to death..." Yan Kuo's raised fist froze in mid-air. Jian Yue's fearless eyes made his heart jump, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: Maybe this is a capable person. People with real abilities have the capital to be tough. What if he missed...
"Okay, you'd better treat it quickly. If you can't cure it, I won't hold you responsible. I'm a man of my words. If you go back on your word, you will be struck by lightning." For his sake, Yan Kuo was really willing to give it his all.
"Go get a bucket of warm water. Quickly!" Jian Yue ordered, and immediately took out the long needle she had snatched from Rong Mama, and stabbed the horse's mouth several times. Under the astonished gaze of the master and servant, Taxue opened his mouth.
"Are you dead? Warm water! Warm water! Are you deaf?" Jian Yue yelled at the two of them.
The master and servant came back to their senses in an instant. Yan Kuo didn't care about Jian Yue's scolding at all, and kicked Liu Tong: "Hurry up and fetch water."
"Hey hey hey..." Liu Tong ran hurriedly to the nearest shop.
Jian Yue threw a few detoxification pills into the horse's mouth and said quickly: "We still need a few more medicines, bring paper and pen."
"Oh oh oh..." Yan Kuo looked around and quickly ran towards the nearby shops.
Liu Tong came back carrying a bucket of water and was surprised to find that Taxue, who had been motionless, actually raised his horse's head with difficulty.
"Hold its head, I'll give it water." Jian Yue ordered.
Liu Tong immediately went to the other side and supported the horse's head.
Jian Yue put the bucket to Taxue's mouth and tilted it slightly. Taxue saw the water and drank it like he had been thirsty for a long time.
When Yan Kuo came over with a group of people, Taxue was already able to stand up tremblingly.
Yan Kuo was overjoyed. He rubbed the horse's head carefully and cried with joy.
The servant who went back to the mansion to call for help brought the palace doctor and veterinarian. But at this time, Yan Kuo didn't trust anyone but Jian Yue. He personally handed over the paper and pen, and Jian Yue hurriedly waved her hand: "I'll read, you write."
A servant immediately bent down and let his master write on his back.
"Three qian of horse-hoofed gold, four qian of verbena..."
After Yan Kuo finished writing, Jian Yue instructed him: "Boil ten bowls of water into eight bowls, feed Taxue with it for an hour, and then feed half a bucket of warm water. Two doses of medicine will be enough to clear the remaining toxins in Taxue's body."
Yan Kuo now simply regarded Jian Yue as a deity, and was very respectful: "My benefactor, can you come back with me? The snow is not healed yet, I am really worried."
"As long as you follow Taxue as she makes the medicine and drink it, and send a few reliable people to take care of her, Taxue will be fine." Jian Yue waved at him, "Come here, I want to say a few words to you."
Yan Kuo hurriedly followed Jian Yue to the side.
Jian Yue whispered: "The poison in Taxue is the Drunken Horse Grass. I don't know who you have offended. But I hope you will keep silent about the fact that I detoxified Taxue. I don't like trouble, and I don't want people to ask me to detoxify them every day."
Yan Kuo was originally angry when he heard that Taxue was poisoned by the Drunken Horse Grass. But Jian Yue's next words made him flattered: She is indeed an expert! He didn't expect that Yan Kuo was so lucky to meet such a hidden master of detoxification. And from what this expert said, it seems that she will not easily detoxify people.
Yan Kuo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Please rest assured, Master. I will not let them pass a single word out and will never cause trouble for you." He took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed them to Jian Yue respectfully, "Master, this is one thousand taels, please accept it first. If you have any instructions in the future, just come to me, Yan Kuo. The Lord of Yanling Mansion is my cousin. As long as it is not about murder or arson, I can help you solve it."
Jian Yue didn't expect that saving a horse would bring such a big reward. She was ecstatic in her heart, but her voice was indifferent: "Well! Thank you, Master Yan. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Jian Yue rolled up the banknotes and stuffed them into her sleeve, then turned and left.
Only when Jian Yue disappeared from view did Yan Kuo look back reluctantly.
It would be great if the master was willing to stay at his home for a long time! In this way, he would not be afraid of his beloved horse being poisoned, and his own personal safety would also be guaranteed.
Unfortunately, masters are masters, and even powerful families cannot drive them or restrain them.
It was already noon when Jian Yue returned home...
