Reborn female match
Chapter 18 Acupuncture
Taojiang County is not a big county, but because Taojiang County has a large number of households and is close to Zhishan County, where shipping is more frequent, there are also many immigrants and porters.
At this time, before the winter solstice, donkey caravans from the north loaded with briquettes and charcoal, salt caravans carrying salt, camel caravans carrying tea to the north, and caravans from Shu land with brocades all came. Traveling everywhere for business opportunities.
In order to have a prosperous New Year's Eve, the common people and small vendors also worked hard, and the streets were bustling and lively.
An Tong ordered three bunches of candied haws, and gave Ren Cuirou and Shao Ru one each, but Xu Xiangru didn't buy one.She bit the candied haws, the sweet and sour taste made her want to stop, and finally stretched out the rest of the candied haws in front of Xu Xiangru: "Here, it's delicious!"
"Give it to me?" Xu Xiangru asked.
"Well, here it is."
Xu Xiangru took her candied haws, and then thanked her.Under An Tong's astonished gaze, she gave the candied haws to a little beggar who was looking at them eagerly, and the little beggar took the candied haws and ran away.
"I only ate one!" An Tong felt a little heartbroken, she didn't expect Xu Xiangru to be so rude, and even gave her candied haws to the little beggar!
Xu Xiangru: "I thought Miss An gave it to me, but I just don't want to eat it."
"Nonsense, I just want to share with you!"
Xu Xiangru had no choice but to buy another bunch for An Tong, An Tong immediately smiled, fearing that Xu Xiangru would snatch it again, he ate two in a row.She said vaguely, "Since you are so kind, why don't you buy a bunch of new ones for the little beggar?"
"I'm kind-hearted, but I don't have any spare money."
An Tong pointed to the candied haws on his hand: "Then what is this?"
Xu Xiangru sighed very sadly: "What if you throw me halfway off the carriage for a bunch of candied haws? So I can only reluctantly pay for you to make up for it. on a hawthorn, I hope you will be a good person to the end."
"Why do I feel that you are mocking me for not being a good person?"
"Miss An, this is your illusion."
An Tong saw that the alley in front of him was a bit lively, so he walked in curiously. Because the carriage was too big, the coachman had to wait at the entrance of the alley.
There are many restaurants in this alley, but gardenia lamps are placed in front of the restaurants, and there are many women with heavy makeup and new dresses sitting by the windows on the second floor to ask each other about poetry and music, and occasionally there is a burst of laughter.
However, there were also men and women standing in front of the door who were quarreling with each other. An Tong stepped forward to join in the fun, only to find out that the man with a big belly came out to have fun behind his back behind his wife's back, and was approached by the vicious wife.After inquiring again, I found out that this place is the famous "Private Alley" in Taojiang.
The so-called private nest refers to prostitutes who do not go under the control of the government, but trade in flesh and blood in their own homes.Although there are still many official prostitutes and wine shops selling skin and meat in this alley, they are still mainly private nests.
An Tong has lived for two lifetimes, and this is the first time he has stepped into such a place.
As if feeling that this place is very dirty, Ren Cuirou and the others urged An Tong to leave this private alley as soon as possible.
After coming out of the alley, many people looked at them with a hint of lust in their eyes, which made An Tong very ashamed and annoyed, and also regretted that he should not have walked in out of curiosity.
Suddenly, An Tong thought of Xu San's matter, she secretly glanced at Xu Xiangru, seeing that her expression was normal, she didn't know what she would think.Judging from the information I heard just now, private nests are undoubtedly the most inferior kind of prostitutes. Because the price is cheap, they receive many people a day in order to make a living. As a result, many people get sick as time goes by.
Although Xu San didn't hang around here all the time, as his daughter, how uncomfortable should Xu Xiangru be?
An Tong was about to say something, but some images flashed in her mind, which were extremely familiar, vaguely related to the private nest alley, as if it was the nightmare she had last night.She racked her brains and slowly remembered many things.
She finally knew why she felt those scenes were very familiar. One was that she had heard some related trivia incidentally when she heard about Xu Sanzhan's gambling behavior in her previous life, and the other was that she had read similar scene descriptions in those books.
It's just that after she was reborn, she completely forgot all of these things. If she hadn't had a nightmare and came here, she wouldn't be able to remember...
In the fourth year of Chengkang, when Xu San was chased by the gambling house's creditors to collect debts, the Xu family had no savings to pay off his debts.The result of failing to repay the gambling debt was that Xu San was beaten to death by mistake, and Xu Wang and Xu Xiangru were almost escorted by the gambling shop to sell themselves to pay off the debt.
Later, An Tong learned from An Lizheng that when Jiang Sheng'an helped Xu's family settle their gambling debts, they also found out that there was a restaurant in the county that colluded with the people in the gambling shop and used the prostitutes in the restaurant. Or private nests lure those who have no money for pleasure to gamble.
In the beginning, those people always win money, and the money they win is basically spent on those prostitutes and young ladies.Later, they fell into it and started losing money continuously. By the time they wanted to get out, it was already too late.
This is the evil result of the combination of human desire and greed. There is no law to protect such scum, so the gambling house is still open, and those who owe money still have to pay back the money.However, due to the intervention of County Captain Jiang, those gambling shops did not dare to do such things in the end.
As for why this incident was recorded in the book, An Tong still couldn't recall it. She felt that she had forgotten only these plots.When she was in the chaos after death and before rebirth, she must have known more things, but she couldn't recall them all!
As a result of reminiscing about her past life and peeking at the plot in the book, her headaches returned.Seeing her pale face, Xu Xiangru hurriedly helped her back to the carriage regardless of how solemn her mood was, and asked the coachman to drive to the nearest hospital.
"Why did it happen again?" Ren Cuirou was also very anxious, knowing that An Tong hadn't had an attack for a month, and had been taking supplements to strengthen his body.
Xu Xiangru frowned: "Is she always like this?"
"Well, the little lady has to drink medicinal soup every day to take care of her body. She thought she would feel better, but unexpectedly..."
Xu Xiangru held An Tong's cold hand, touched her forehead, and found that there was no sign of contracting a cold, so he asked, "Aside from the headache, what other discomforts do you have?"
"...a bit cold." An Tong raised his eyelids.
An Tong is the one who wears the most and the thickest clothes in the carriage. The only cloak is on her body. There is really no other clothes to keep her warm.Xu Xiangru thought for a while, and hugged her in his arms, so that she could have a soft position to rest with her eyes closed.
"Xu Xiangru, why is your body so fragrant?" An Tong leaned against Xu Xiangru, tilting his head to find Xu Xiangru's neck.
"You don't have a headache anymore?" Xu Xiangru asked back.
"pain."
"Then shut up!"
Ren Cuirou looked at them, feeling more and more uncertain in her heart whether the two were really at odds in the past, while Shao Ru looked at them with envious and complicated eyes.
When we arrived at the clinic, the old doctor showed An Tong a look, and decided to give her an injection. After all, it was not the first time that he had a headache, but it was accompanied by a cold. If he didn't give an injection, it would only make the headache worse.
An Tong thought that his head would be full of needles, so he was not happy: "I'll drink some medicinal soup and it will be fine, no need for needles."
"No, you have to give the needle!" The old man was stubborn and stubborn, and she refused to let her go if he refused to give the needle.
"This is Song Taicheng, his medical skills are trustworthy!" Others persuaded.
Taiyicheng is a medical officer who used to work in the Taizhong Hospital, but Song Taicheng returned to his hometown when he was old and had nothing to do, so he had to resume his old job.His signboard is enough to illustrate his medical skills, and because of his high status and high fees, ordinary people seldom come to see a doctor, otherwise he may not be free to perform acupuncture for An Tong.
"Go and help buy two bunches of candied haws!" Xu Xiangru said to Shao Ru.
Shao Ru moved her lips, turned around and left the hospital without saying anything.And An Tong was even more dissatisfied with Xu Xiangru's words: "Did you treat me like a child?"
"At least I coaxed you, didn't I?"
An Tong thought about it carefully, let Xu Xiangru bow his head to coax her, it's really rare!She felt much better and was willing to accept acupuncture.
The process of applying the needles was not as painful as An Tong imagined, after all, she had such a headache that she could no longer feel other pains.But after she relaxed her body and stopped thinking about other things deliberately, the pain gradually subsided.
Originally, she should have a good rest after the injection, but this is a medical center after all, and there is no place for her to rest, so she had to go to Uncle An's house and decided to stay overnight.
She didn't tell Uncle An that she had a headache. After all, she didn't want the An family to worry and worry about her every time she had a headache.However, Second Uncle An still sent someone back to Fuqiu Village to tell her brother and sister-in-law about her staying in the county town overnight.
An Lan learned that An Tong was coming, so she pulled her excitedly and talked about her new fun in the county these days.She got acquainted with the little lady from the neighbor's house, and when she was invited to be a guest, she met a barbarian singing prostitute from the north.Thinking that the barbarians who kept invading the border had fallen to this point, she only felt a bad breath in her heart.
An Tong had just finished the acupuncture and needed to rest well, and she couldn't rest even after being made such a fuss by An Lan.Seeing this, Xu Xiangru drove An Lan out, making An Lan bark her teeth and claws in anger: "Well, you Xu Xiangru dare to occupy the nest!"
"That's called anti-client." An family's maid reminded.
"What kind of guest is she?!" An Lan said, but it was An Tong who brought her here, so An Lan could only calm down and leave angrily.
Xu Xiangru commented: "You are worthy of being two sisters."
"I thought you were praising us." An Tong said.
Xu Xiangru didn't say anything, and was about to leave, but An Tong grabbed her hand and said: "Don't go, I have something to tell you."
Seeing her solemn expression, Xu Xiangru also sat upright: "Miss An, please tell me."
An Tong considered his words for a while, and said: "I heard from my father that there are many dirty activities in these private nests. It doesn't refer to... those aspects, but their collusion with the people in the gambling house. Constantly seduce the cheaters physically, and then make the cheaters spend a lot of money on them. Once they are penniless, they will be persuaded to go to gambling, and finally they can only fall into the trap of the gambling house."
Xu Xiangru heard the words and said: "Ms. An is warning me, should I prevent my father from getting caught too?"
An Tong was a little bit embarrassed to say it, after all, it was related to the secrets of the Xu family's inner house, she alluded in front of Xu Xiangru that Xu San was hanging out with those private prostitutes, Xu Xiangru was afraid that he would feel ashamed.
"I will, thank you." Xu Xiangru said again.
An Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was not sure whether Xu Xiangru could prevent Xu San from repeating the same mistakes, she had tried her best. If the future still could not be changed, it would be Xu San's own fault, and she could not blame others.
At this time, before the winter solstice, donkey caravans from the north loaded with briquettes and charcoal, salt caravans carrying salt, camel caravans carrying tea to the north, and caravans from Shu land with brocades all came. Traveling everywhere for business opportunities.
