Jiazhu of the Red Chamber

Let’s talk about Zhong Congyu, Jia Zhutan’s face was hot, and he hurriedly shook him awake, Zhong Congyu muttered: “It’s dawn so soon?”

Jia Zhu saw that his eyes were sleepy and he didn't feel any discomfort, so she said, "Your head is hot, it's probably a wound infection, you should find a doctor quickly."

Zhong Congyu frowned and raised his hand to touch his forehead, saying: "How could this be? It's okay, you rest and wait until dawn."

Jia Zhu said anxiously: "It doesn't matter if I don't sleep all night, why don't you take your body into consideration? No, you have to listen to me this time, get up and find a doctor."

Seeing his earnest concern, Zhong Congyu couldn't help but hold his hands and said: "I just listen to you."

As he said, he pulled Jia Zhu to stand up, but he didn't want him to be weak, dizzy, and staggered before he stopped. Jia Zhu helped him onto the horse, hugged him and said softly: "Don't be brave, if we can't, let's go back Find an imperial doctor in Kyoto."

Zhong Congyu hurriedly interrupted him, and said: "Don't mention this, how can my dignified prince be scared off by some little thieves! After I finish my business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I will come back and take over this black shop, so that they can't do it anymore This is an outrageous thing!"

Seeing that he was still trying to be brave, Jia Zhu had no choice but to tighten his clothes and tighten his grip on him, and said softly, "Save your energy and go on your way."

Zhong Congyu clung to his arms, and rubbed his neck sideways, like a docile big cat. Jia Zhu's neck was itchy when he rubbed it, and a numbness spread from his neck to his heart, wanting to scratch and scratch If you don't, it's hard to bear.

The two hurried on the road under the moonlight. Jia Zhu was concerned about his injury and did not dare to let the horse run wildly. He was very anxious, but he could only control the speed of the horse and walked unhurriedly.

Fortunately, the two rushed for a while before dark, and Zhong Congyu galloped after being injured. After walking for about an hour, the two finally arrived at a market town. In the medical clinic, they called the doctor out of the bed and handed him a piece of silver. The doctor turned his anger into joy and came to see Zhong Congyu.

Under the light, the doctor took off the bandaged veil, which was already stained red with blood. The doctor threw the veil on the table, and Zhong Congyu quietly put it away. Seeing his small movements, Zhong Congyu hurriedly sat upright, desperately holding back his complacency.

After the clothes on the whole arm were cut off, the wound was wiped with warm water, and a piece of flesh four fingers wide was opened, Jia Zhu didn't turn his face away, he couldn't bear to look more.

The doctor clicked his tongue and said, "I'm afraid the two little brothers have met some villains!"

Zhong Congyu said: "So what if it is, so what if it is not?"

The doctor saw that he was speaking impolitely and was about to have a fit, when Jia Zhu secretly handed him another piece of silver and said, "How did the doctor see that?"

The doctor snorted coldly: "Even if you came in time, if it was a little later, this little brother might not be able to keep his arm!"

Jia Zhu asked in surprise, "Why?"

The doctor put medicine powder on Zhong Congyu's wound and said: "Look at the surrounding area of ​​the wound is faintly blue, there must be some material on the knife. You are the villains you met in the wild boar forest outside the town, my doctor The museum has seen several people who have been hacked by those gangsters. The knife wound is nothing, but the poison added to the knife is the most powerful. After an hour, the poisonous gas will attack the heart. You are lucky, the first The one knocking on my door is my door, and I am the only one in this town who can cure this poison."

Jia Zhu calculated the time in his heart. It has been at least three hours since Zhong Congyu was poisoned. According to the doctor's calculation, Zhong Congyu should have died of poisoning long ago, but now he only has a fever and is not in danger of his life. Could it be the magic piece? What does the wooden block do?

Zhong Congyu squeezed Jia Zhu's hand secretly, and said with a smile: "You are very knowledgeable, doctor. My two brothers were attacked by gangsters in the wild boar forest. I don't know why you alone can cure this poison? Could it be that you have some connection with that gangster? "

While speaking, the doctor had already bandaged the wound skillfully, pointed at Zhong Congyu and said to Jia Zhu: "Why are you so suspicious, brother? It is the duty of a doctor to heal the wounded and help the wounded. I didn't save the first person. I am ashamed, I have tried several formulas before developing the antidote, you are not grateful, why are you accusing me of being related to that thief?"

Zhong Congyu smiled and said, "Yes or no, you know in your heart."

Jia Zhu stopped the doctor who was about to drive him out and said, "We are passers-by, so we may not be able to stay here for long. I hope the doctor will prepare more medicine for replacement."

The doctor said: "Seeing that you are a kind person, I will sell you some more!"

Jia Zhu hurriedly took out another piece of silver, stuffed it into the doctor's hand and said, "Thank you!"

The two left the hospital with the packaged medicines. It was already daylight and after a long night of exhaustion, Jia Zhu looked haggard and pointed at the bun shop not far ahead, saying, "Take a rest before leaving!"

Zhong Congyu nodded, ordered two baskets of buns, and ordered some soup, looking at Jia Zhu's tired face, hesitant to speak.

Jia Zhu said, "You can speak directly if you have something to say."

Zhong Congyu smiled and said, "Do you believe me when I tell you?"

Jia Zhu smiled and said, "Naturally."

Zhong Congyu then said: "My uncle Zhu, you gave that quack doctor 20 taels of silver just now, and only bought some ordinary Jinchuang medicines. These medicinal powders can be sold in any pharmacy, and they are only worth two taels of silver. "

Jia Zhu didn't believe it: "Why? The doctor said that your arm was poisoned, and a special antidote was added to it, which is only worth 20 taels of silver."

Zhong Congyu knocked on his forehead and said, "You are so innocent. Didn't Li Shouzhong teach you that people's hearts are dangerous? My knife wound was just an ordinary wound. I lost too much blood and was bandaged too tightly. There will be some bruises, it’s not poisoning at all, besides, you forgot that I told you that I have the holy medicine for detoxification? The doctor saw you and I were young, and you were generous, so he deliberately threatened you with words.”

Jia Zhu heard that his analysis made sense, and was annoyed at being deceived, and said viciously, "Why are you so treacherous? I'll go find him now!"

Zhong Congyu hurriedly held him down, and said: "No, I'll explain it to you. I just hope that you will not trust others in the future. As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must have the heart to guard against others. You are kind-hearted and never want You speculate on others with malice, but you don’t know that someone is planning on you. I value you and don’t want you to be used by people with ulterior motives in the future.”

After hearing what he said, Jia Zhu was moved by his good intentions and mixed feelings. She couldn't express what she felt, but felt sore in her heart. Thinking that he was considerate, she lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, don't worry about it. Whatever other people say, I believe you."

Zhong Congyu sighed: "I like your kindness, but I worry that you will be bullied for being too kind. Alas, it turns out that the feeling of having someone in my heart is so complicated."

Seeing his emotion, Jia Zhu hurriedly stopped him and said, "You and I should find an inn to rest before we go on our way."

Zhong Congyu said with a smile: "Here is not far from Tianjin, why don't you go to Tianjin and have a good rest. Before I left, I made a bet with Zhu Ting to see who would arrive in Hangzhou first. I don't want to lose to him."

Jia Zhu looked at his arm worriedly and said, "Then what about your injury?"

Zhong Congyu said: "This injury is nothing, let's walk slowly."

Jia Zhu had no choice but to follow him, and the two led the horse, walked out of the town slowly, and then got on the horse and walked towards Tianjin.

It turned out that they walked straight out of the inn, and when it was getting dark, they ran for their lives in a panic and did not deviate too far from the main road. After Jia Zhu asked the way, they returned to the official road.Jia Zhu thought about Zhong Congyu's injury, and didn't want him to bother him to talk, but Zhong Congyu thought that Jia Zhu hadn't slept all night, so he must be in poor spirits, so he didn't speak, and just focused on walking.

Sure enough, as Zhong Congyu said, the two entered Tianjin City as soon as noon arrived. Zhong Congyu took Jia Zhu to find a Jinmen Inn, called two guest rooms, and asked Jia Zhu to rest first.
