Title: Dice on the Neck

Summary: "Yes." Wei Yan repeated, "No indiscriminate killing, no injury."

Turning his head when he got up in the morning, Wei Yan was sitting upright at the desk.I dug out a red belt from the closet, cut out a narrow ribbon, and tied the dice he gave me around my neck.He came over and pinched the ribbon lightly with his fingers, and the ribbon was born on the dice.

I bowed my head as he came around behind me to tie the ribbon.After finishing the knot, I opened my inner shirt, put the pendant of the dice next to my body, and asked him, "You don't need to wear it around your neck?"

He shook his head.

I went to the kitchen to cook breakfast, and he followed suit.While pouring the rice, I remembered my doubts about his martial arts, so I confirmed again: "Is your martial arts very high?" and spread salt on the quail on the stove.

Wei Yan looked at Quazi and said, "Yes."

I asked, "Then why do you often get hurt?"

"On purpose." Wei Yan said, he stopped talking suddenly, nothing could be seen on the dark wheat-colored skin

I was curious: "Then why did you hurt yourself on purpose?"

Wei Yan paused before saying, "Look at the master for a reason."

I washed the salt off my hands with a bowl of water, and gave up on correcting his address.Ask him: "what's wrong with you"

Wei Yan remained silent.

I had no choice but to say: "Come here, let me touch your ears." He lowered his eyelashes but obediently pointed his head towards my hand.

His ears were hot.

I concluded: "You're shy."

He agreed: "Yes."

I put the quail into the pot and said to him, "Don't get hurt again in the future."

"Yes." He repeated, "No indiscriminate killing, no injury."

I told him, "Pass the bowl," and shouted at my eldest son in the rightmost room, "Xiao Lian, come out to eat."

Shen Lian was a little gloomy when she came out, so I didn't ask any more questions, and went to the front where the Hemu Medical Center opened.

Qi Jin came over every day after dinner, I asked him to come for dinner early, and he said he would eat with Mrs. Qi in the inn.

On the sixth day, when Catcher Yan came over for dinner, he handed over a hand-drawn drawing on the table and said, "Sihu Canjun asked me to tell you that he found a house beside the Caoshi River." He pointed at the crude hand-drawn drawing and said , "The front can be used as a shop, and there is a big tallow tree in the courtyard. It is a mile and a half away from Hemu Medical Center. Dr. Li, do you want to change your residence?"

When Shen Lian heard this, she looked up at me, and while I was eating white rice with asparagus in Wei Yan's bowl, I denied it: "No, a friend wants to stay. I'll tell him later."

After Yan Butou left, Qi came in, and I handed him the drawing.He was overjoyed and went to find the owner himself.

In the evening, Shen Lian and Wei Yan were in my bedroom, each occupying a corner to read my medical books.At bedtime, I pushed Xiao Lian back to his own room.

On the tenth day, Wei Yan said in the morning: "Collect medicine for the master." I said: "Then you go, I will go to Weihou's mansion for a visit."

When I went, I took Shen Lian with me. On the way, I remembered that I was distracted by Chu Ming. He has not yet entered school.So on the donkey cart, the old story was brought up again: "It's the beginning of the new year, and I will send you to Taixue."

He said lightly, "You don't need to take me there."

I frowned and asked, "Don't you want to study? No matter how chaotic the world is, we always respect scholars."

"I want to read it," Shen Lian said with a smile, "I just don't need you to send me there. Your consultation fee has paid for my food and clothes, so I can save some money." She stopped talking.

He has been here for two months, and his face is no longer delicate and pale when he first came, but vitality is revealed in his whiteness.Crowds of young girls on the street blushed, shoved and fought past our donkey cart, and there were always a few pairs of wonderful eyes looking back at him.

After giving Wei Jin the pulse, Wei Jin's servant went down with the new prescription.I ate a cup of tea on Wei Jin's table, the tea soup was golden in color, with a delicate fragrance of flowers amidst the waxy chestnut fragrance.I couldn't resist pouring another glass.

Wei Jin, who was leading Shen Lian to talk, said to me: "Doctor Li likes Yuanzhou gold slices, so he asked the shadow guard to send Wuliang to Hemu Medical Center."

I thank him.Shen Lian was respectful and respectful: "Young Master Wei Ba has a wide range of knowledge and has read a lot of poetry and books. I, a little drug boy, am so envious."

Wei Jin asked him: "I have asthma, and I am locked up in the mansion for a whole month. I envy you for your freedom. Of the poems and books in my room, which one do you want to read, just take it home."

Shen Lian bowed her head and said, "Without my teacher's teaching, I probably wouldn't understand it."

Wei Jin smiled and pushed him: "It's a small matter. I recommend you to go to Taixue as a foreign student, and I will give you money for your fast. The new Jijiu has some skills. You and Dr. Li come to see me more to relieve boredom." Shen Lian dodged: "Young Master Wei Ba treats me so well, naturally I want to come to Wei Mansion more often. "He took a sip from my teacup and said: "Yuanzhou gold slices are really delicious. "

After that, we left the house and went back to Hemu Medical Center. On the way, Shen Lian smiled at me: "I just said, you don't need to send me to study."

It was afternoon when we returned to Hemu Medical Center, and Wei Yan also came back.I inspected the medicinal materials he picked back in the front shop.The quality varies, but they are all correct. Shen Lian listens to my order and sorts and cleans everything.

At this time, Qi Jin rushed over excitedly: "I have settled with the original owner. I will move over tomorrow and treat you to a drink. I don't have any friends in Chang'an City, so you all come."

I promised: "Okay, I'll give you a gift." He scratched his head and didn't refuse.

I gave Wei Yan a penny and said to him: "Go to the store and buy some fat cakes and six chickens." And I asked Shen Lian: "Have the medicinal materials been washed? It's time to grind."

He said: "I'll go get the water." Then wash the medicinal materials and grind them.

The next day, the three of us went to the inn where Qi Jin was staying. The two of them helped Qi Jin put his belongings into the big ox cart, and I helped the 76-year-old Mrs. Qi into the front carriage.Mrs. Qi asked nonchalantly: "You are Dr. Li? Do you think I am useless in my body?"

I told her repeatedly: "The pulse condition is steady and moderate."

She sat down firmly and came to touch my face again: "Doctor Li is handsome, and girls like him. He is much better than my son's idiot. What kind of virtuous girl do you know, tell my son about kissing." She came over mysteriously , "I have money to thank the matchmaker."

I was sweating profusely, and helped her back to sit down: "Definitely, definitely."

The carriage drove to his new home.

In Qi Jin's new house, there is really a towering Chinese tallow tree, with stone tables and stools under the tallow tree.I looked up at the lush leaves and sighed: "This Chinese tallow tree is good. The root bark and bark can be harvested all year round to dry."

Shen Lian was moving in the bedding, and casually took the medical text: "Use tallow tree leaves fresh to kill insects, detoxify and laxative; externally use boils to treat wounds."

I was about to praise him for his excellent memory, when Qi Jin said: "Doctor Li, you pick as many as you like, don't pick them to death for me."

I laughed: "That's absolutely impossible."

Wei Yan came in with a cake in one hand and six chickens in the other, and I said, "To Mrs. Qi."

Mrs. Qi picked it up, and I said congratulations: "Fat cake, I wish your family prosperity, Xiaoji wish your family and animals prosperity."

Qi Jin interjected again: "The chicken is grown, and I invite you to eat." He slapped his head, "Ah, I don't have anything to eat tonight, I'll go to the market and order some roast chicken and some side dishes, and I invite you to drink." After I finished talking, my eyes blurred, and he disappeared.

Looking at the tallow tree, I remembered that my courtyard was empty except for a well, and it was very hot in summer.Turn around and ask Wei Yan to build a grape trellis for shade.
