This was his first sentence after he came to me. There was no birthday gift or happy birthday congratulations. On my birthday, he came to me just to ask for my help. Even the man who had been playing in the yard
My girl is still studying in college. Today she specially asked for leave to come back to celebrate my birthday and gave me a small gift. However, my brother seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
I didn't feel angry or worthless. On the contrary, a different kind of emotion grew in my chest.
I clearly realized that it was the feeling of "pride" I had when my brother, whom I had always admired, needed my help. It was an affirmation and recognition of my self-worth over the years. This emotion was not conducive to my conversation with my brother.
So I extinguished those growing emotions in a timely manner.
Similarly, I was not angry about the fact that he forgot my birthday. At that time, I was only filled with joy and positive emotions, and I showed in a very restrained and modest manner that I had indeed learned something from Fuzi Liezu.
, regarding ancient medical techniques, combined with the modern medical concepts I learned in school for four years, I did try to innovate some new medical concepts, but because I was too young and had no clinical experiments, my ideas
Now it is just empty talk and not even implemented on a white paper, just some ideas.
I said a lot, some of it sounded like boasting, but it must be a very restrained boast, and some of it sounded like a younger brother showing off in front of his elder brother to get recognition and encouragement.
Brother, he patiently listened to all my words, and then told me not to be humble. Even though he is a "wolf living in Xu", he often hears about my affairs. Within the clan, I am famous as a "know-it-all" about ancient medicine, and I am proficient in it.
There are also many elderly people from the Zhao family who are on this path who are amazed by my talent and intend to guide me, the Li family, to embark on this alternative path.
"So, brother, what do you want me to do for you? How is your health?" After I realized that my brother fully understood my situation, I immediately reacted and became a little nervous about my brother's body. You know
Although "Lang Juxu" is beautiful, the casualty rate has always been high. In my specialized industry, I can't help but see the tragic situation of those members of the orthodox tribe who have had accidents every day.
"I don't have any big problem, I'm in good health, I just have a friend"
"Is the friend you're talking about yourself?" I subconsciously brought up my usual speaking habits, and then looked at the tired old man strangely, especially at Xiasanlu a few more times, and then
This caused my brother to be stunned for a few seconds, laughing, scolding, and slapping him.
After a few words of joking eased the slightly stiff atmosphere after not seeing each other for a long time, my brother's expression gradually calmed down. He led me to the artificial pond in the inner courtyard for a walk, in the shadow of the scattered stars and moon and the branches of the old sycamore tree.
He told me that a friend he has known for a long time has a physical condition and needs a trustworthy and medically qualified person to take care of it. If possible, see if the root cause of the disease can be found and the patient can be removed and recovered.
I lowered my head under the shadow of the sycamore branches and listened to his words. I agreed immediately and said that I could make an appointment to see his friend. I would try my best to see where the problem was and prescribe some medicine if I could.
Medicine, if you really have no choice, ask the experienced old people in the Zhao family. Those ancestors are all teachers who can be first-level expert teachers in tertiary hospitals outside. They have never stopped talking about ancient and modern times for so many years.
For topics that combine medicine, there should be solutions to all difficult and complicated diseases.
After hearing what I said, my brother told me very seriously and seriously that if possible, he told me not to ask anyone else for help. It was best not to mention his friend's physical condition to anyone. He only trusted me.
, this matter is only handled by me.
I was stunned for a long time, and under my brother's serious eyes, I could only nod to express my understanding. Finally, my brother agreed on a time and place and left in a hurry. When he left, his expression was quite heavy and complicated. I didn't want to
I know what his friend means to him and what is wrong with his physical condition, but I only know that it is my brother who asked me for help, and I will definitely try my best to help him and his
friend.
My brother made an appointment with me the next day. The morning after my birthday, I got up early and rushed to the place where my brother made an appointment with me despite a hangover. But I was woken up before I even left the house.
My mother caught me earlier, and she dragged me to the main hall for breakfast. When I arrived at the main hall, I saw my father already sitting at the main table, drinking morning tea, and he looked at me sideways when he saw me coming.
At one glance, I knew it was doomed.
It’s another commonplace issue of urging marriage.
At the age of twenty-three, I had never had a girlfriend, nor had I ever had an affair with any girl, either externally or internally. This seemed to be a good thing in the early days and proved that I was very clean.
I didn’t fall in love prematurely, and I firmly contributed to family planning. But the further I went on, the more this incident became a life-threatening talisman in the hands of my parents.
All morning, I tried my best to escape, but my parents held me down. The one on the left, you are not too old anymore, and the one on the right, people as old as you used to have babies already. I heard that one was called
I had a headache. When I made up my mind to run away on the pretext of going to the toilet, my mother was still chasing me and saying that in his opinion, the girl from the Zhao family next door was quite good. I was still a childhood sweetheart with you. We had played together since we were little and knew everything.
Yesterday I came back from a long way from university to celebrate your birthday. I saw that I was interested in you, so why don't you think about it?
At any rate, I ran away from the courtyard. Fortunately, my brother told me that the place to meet me was near the courtyard, but by the time I arrived, it was already more than an hour late.
When I saw my brother, he was pacing anxiously at the door of a remote courtyard. When he saw me coming, I didn’t even say an apology or explanation. He quickly came over and took my hand and walked into the courtyard, as if
It's not a problem if I'm late, he feels at ease as long as I arrive.
But to be honest, such an old man makes me feel very uneasy. Last night I promised my brother to help his friend with a medical consultation. That was based on the state of my drinking too much on my birthday. Looking back now, I seem to have overstated my words.
, I’m afraid if I say a lot of things about my pure ideas, I’ll be laughed at for a long time.
Now I can only hope that my brother's friend just has some private disease or something. I didn't see much medical skills back then, and there were a lot of pathological prescriptions for these.
The courtyard my brother took me to was not very big. It was only the second courtyard. It was not that beautiful compared to the deep courtyards in the clan where people moved into the fourth or fifth courtyard. The front yard of the courtyard was no different from a normal courtyard.
There is a large water tank under the ginkgo tree, which is spacious and bright. There are flowers, grass, fences, and tea. Each has its own place. When we walked further into the inner courtyard through the corridor and came to the threshold of the inner courtyard, my brother was unwilling to do so.
I walked forward and stopped in my confused eyes.
"You go in alone. My friend doesn't like to make noises. She has a weird personality. You should be more considerate when treating her."
After leaving these words, my brother turned around and left, leaving me standing alone in front of the inner courtyard. I was a little unprepared. I didn't even have time to ask whether his friend was a boy or a girl. Actually, it didn't matter. According to ancient medical books, There are as many records about gynecological diseases as male diseases. If I wear a pair of sunglasses and walk around the world, I can be considered a gynecological expert.
I prepared mentally for a few minutes in front of the inner courtyard, and then opened the inner courtyard door. I even changed into a white gown specially for today. I looked like a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and an expert. This outfit is still the same as my uncle’s. As a birthday gift for me, it was said that the Zhao family would give such a piece of clothing to the educated clan members as proof of qualifications. Although I am not from the Zhao family, no one would say anything if I wore this dress. gossip.
The scenery in the inner courtyard of the courtyard is quite beautiful and crowded.
When I opened the door, I felt like I had walked into the sea of trees in the Old Summer Palace. Everything I saw was colorful, from ginkgo to pomegranate, persimmon to wisteria. The owner of the inner courtyard seemed to have thought of planting whatever he wanted. There was no plan at all. He planted everything here. Plant one there, like a pile of groceries, and throw everything in. When I walked inside, I felt like I had walked into a forest. Leaves, petals, and rattans scraped against my clothes from time to time, and everything in my field of vision was covered. Bright colors bloom.
I walked in this maze of flowers and woods for about ten minutes without finding the person I wanted to see. My nose was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the midday sunlight cut through the gaps between the branches and petals and shone on my feet. , add a layer of gold carpet to the path paved by petals and fallen fruits.
But suddenly, and I don’t know why, I, who had never been allergic to pollen, entered this yard and started walking in circles in the forest, and I started sneezing all the time.
I patiently walked around and around, sneezing from time to time. It wasn't until my head turned dizzy and my nose turned red from sneezing that I gradually discovered a pattern - every time I passed a specific section of road, My allergy symptoms would appear and gradually decrease when I left that section of road, until they worsened when I passed by again.
I kept an eye on it and stopped immediately when my nose started to itch and my whole body felt hot and uncomfortable. Then I discovered that the cause of my pollen allergy was actually a tall osmanthus tree.
It was planted in the center of the inner courtyard, with branches and leaves scattered. The light yellow osmanthus flowers shook with the breeze, and more than half of the floral fragrance in the entire courtyard was filled with that rich and elegant fragrance.
I have never been allergic to osmanthus, I know this.
When I looked up at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in confusion, I knew what was really causing my allergy, and at the same time I finally found the mysterious patient I was looking for today.
On the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, there was a beautiful figure lying diagonally on the slender branches. It was a very young girl, about the same age as me, wearing a black and white cheongsam and a robe, lying lazily on the tree. On the bed, the robe was draped over her body like silk and satin to protect her from the cold. The feet painted with black nail polish fell out of the robe and swayed restlessly beside the branches.
She rested her left hand on the elbow of her right hand in front of her body, holding a small mole cigarette in her slender fingers. When I looked at her, she tilted her head and looked at me under the tree, her eyebrows as sharp as willows.
She is soft and charming, with willow eyebrows and eye-catching eyes. The brown eye shadow is as strong as a palm flower. The sunlight cut into pieces by the branches shines like stars on her head, which makes me unable to open my eyes.
I remember that the slightly curious and surprised face on the tree was sprinkled with mottled light like gold powder, as if he was teasing me, or looking at a lost squirrel that had wandered into a strange forest.
Yes, I have never been allergic to osmanthus.
But I'm allergic to nicotine.
So I sneezed so loudly that the pollen fell from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
I admit that I was surprised by that scene. When I sneezed, it was like my brain was spit out. My head was a little blank, and all I could see in my retina was the image of the girl with the bright star on her head.
When Sun Dasheng broke into the Peach Garden, the fairy he saw when he looked up was probably hanging on the tree like this, right? But the version of the fairy I met was wearing a cheongsam and holding a lady's cigarette in her hand.
When I subconsciously raised my head to say hello, before I could say anything, the beautiful girl on the tree suddenly grinned at me and then coughed up a large mouthful of blood and poured it on my face!
