The rainwater fell from the eaves and splashed on the ground. Zhang Yao sat in the room and watched the water attentively.
There was a sound of footsteps in my ears, and three maids ran in.
"Mr. Zhang, the hot water is ready." A Tian said, "Go and wash yourself quickly."
Yan'er Cui'er stared at Zhang Yao and held out the clean clothes in her hand: "These are clean clothes." "This is what the lady has prepared a long time ago."
Zhang Yao, who was sitting firmly after hearing this last sentence, could not help but twitch his brows.
"No, no need." He stood up, "Let's see a doctor first. See a doctor first."
Chen Danzhu walked in with a box in his arms: "Don't rush to see your illness, I've taken care of it." Looking at Zhang Yao, he said worriedly, "Your clothes are wet, go wash them and change them. You are so sick."
But you can’t catch the cold.”
"Thank you, Miss." Zhang Yao thanked him and asked, "I don't know how Miss can cure my illness. I have been coughing for a long time - is there any medicine in this?"
Chen Danzhu hurriedly opened the box and showed it to him: "Yes, these are the medicines I made to treat coughs."
Zhang Yao stood up and looked at it seriously: "There are so many, will I be fine if I eat these?"
Chen Danzhu nodded: "Yes, just eat it and you won't do it again in the future."
Zhang Yao hurriedly thanked him and said: "It's just that such a good medicine is expensive, isn't it?"
Chen Danzhu looked at him and smiled: "No money."
Zhang Yao didn't even ask, he showed a clear expression and praised: "Ms. Danzhu is indeed as kind-hearted as a doctor and a bodhisattva as in the legend."
Chen Danzhu laughed loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? No one said that I am a doctor with a benevolent heart and a bodhisattva heart. Zhang Yao, why have you become so glib?"
What does becoming mean? Zhang Yao said without changing his expression: "Xiaosheng has always been very honest."
"Yes, you are right." Chen Danzhu smiled softly again. The tea seller in his previous life had indeed introduced him this way, saying that the doctor at Peach Blossom Temple had a kind heart and a Bodhisattva heart, and he did not charge for treatment.
Zhang Yao stretched out his hand to take the box: "Thank you, Miss Danzhu, young man. I will take it back and take the medicine. When it is ready, I will come back and thank Miss Danzhu."
He caught the box but couldn't lift it. Chen Danzhu grabbed the box and looked at him with a smile.
"Mr. Zhang," she said, "You don't need to go back to take medicine. You can stay here with me. Once you are cured, you can leave. You don't have to worry about food or drink."
Zhang Yao looked surprised and grateful: "Miss Danzhu really has the heart of a doctor and cares about patients like this." After saying that, he felt a little uneasy and looked around, "It's just that this is a Taoist temple and the place where Miss Danzhu lives. I, a foreigner, really don't care about it."
inconvenient."
Chen Danzhu thought for a while: "My place is too small. I can't force you to sleep with Zhulin and the others."
She let go of her hand, Zhang Yao hugged the box and breathed a little sigh of relief.
"However, you can live in Taohua Village." Chen Danzhu looked at Zhang Yao with a smile, "I will find you a place to live, and you don't have to worry about food and drink. I will pay for it."
What Zhang Yao wanted to say, Chen Danzhu waved his finger at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you don't have to pretend to be stupid anymore and be obedient. No matter what you say, I will never let you go."
After saying that, he called out to the bamboo forest.
Zhu Lin stood at the door reluctantly.
Chen Danzhu told Zhulin: "You go and help Mr. Zhang pack his things. I will go to Taohua Village to find a good place for him to live." Then he looked at Zhang Yao and said, "Mr. Zhang, you have to pack everything away.
, don’t throw it away.”
...
...
At dusk, the rain stopped and the guests in the tea shed gradually dispersed. The tea seller looked at the young scholar sitting at the table inside.
There was a worn-out book at the scholar's feet, and nothing else. He coughed from time to time, and his whole body would tremble, making him look very weak.
The tea seller came to sit next to him and asked sympathetically: "Mr. Zhang, why did you hit Miss Danzhu's hand?"
Zhang Yao whispered to her: "Grandma, I don't know either. When I came to Beijing, I heard people say that there is a Miss Danzhu in Taohua Mountain who blocks the road and robs and treats illnesses. People who are sick must not pass here.
, I deliberately took a detour to avoid it. Who would have thought that while I was squatting under a bridge washing clothes in the city, I would meet Miss Danzhu, and by coincidence, she kept coughing, so——"
He spread his hands out in a helpless manner.
This young man is very interesting. The tea seller looked at his frail but clear face and couldn't help but laugh: "How can you be so calm when encountering such a thing? It seems like you should meet Miss Danzhu."
While they were talking, Chen Danzhu ran down the mountain. Behind him, A Tian Yan'er each held a large baggage, and Zhu Lin carried a large box in his hand——
"Grandma, Mr. Zhang, I've packed up." Chen Danzhu waved, "You can go."
Taohua Village is located on the back side of Taohua Mountain. You can reach it by bypassing the road. The village is picturesque after the dusk and rain, with smoke from cooking utensils curling up in the mist.
Seeing the tea seller coming back, the villagers all said hello. This widow was originally inconspicuous in the village, a poor childless person. There are many places selling tea on this road, and she can't make much money. She can barely make a living. In the future,
It's not certain whether I can earn a thin coffin, but things are different now. The business in the tea shed has become very good, and I can even hire a village girl to help.
The old widow who is childless but still rich is enviable and befriended.
When I saw that the tea seller came back this time, in addition to the village girl Ahua, there was also a car and several maids. These three maids were also familiar to the villagers -
When the tea vendor came to the door, Ah Tian stretched out her hand to help her. Chen Danzhu jumped out of the car, and she also reached out to help her - another young man got out.
The villagers pointed with curiosity and watched Miss Danzhu and the young man enter the house of the tea seller, three maids and a coachman carrying large bags and boxes.
"Grandma's home -" Chen Danzhu looked around the three low houses, surrounded by a fence, and sighed, "Young master, I have wronged you."
The tea seller was not happy: "Ms. Danzhu, my house looks simple, but it is very clean. Otherwise, you can let Mr. Zhang live in a shack."
Zhang Yao said hurriedly: "I'm not aggrieved, I'm not aggrieved. I live in a shack where people pile firewood in the city."
Chen Danzhu smiled at the tea seller: "Grandma - I don't dislike your family, I'm worried about Mr. Zhang."
The old lady selling tea hummed, and looked at the three maids and a guard standing in a row: "Come on, decorate this room." After that, she led them into an empty room on the left.
A Tian Yan Er Cui Er decorated it with jingling sounds inside.
"Mr. Zhang." Chen Danzhu pulled out a small stool from the room, "Sit down and have a rest."
Zhang Yao hurriedly took it with both hands, thanked him, and sat down obediently.
Chen Danzhu opened the medicine box and showed him how to take this and that. Zhang Yao listened carefully.
Not long after, the room was decorated, and Chen Danzhu hurriedly went in to take a look. A small bed was arranged in the narrow room, and it was covered with brocade quilts, gold gauze curtains, bamboo mats and cushions, several tables, and even a puzzle.
The small bookshelf is fully equipped with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
The old lady selling tea stared and shouted, "Good boy." Her dark, low-walled house was not worthy of these furnishings, nor was Zhang Yao, who was standing in it carrying a torn book and wearing old clothes.
"What are you eating for dinner?" Chen Danzhu wanted to see the tea seller's stove again. "It doesn't look like there is much to eat here. Why don't I ask Aunt Ying to prepare it and deliver it to you? Or you can just go to Taohua Temple to eat and then come back."
Go to sleep."
The tea seller stopped her and pushed her out: "Old lady, I haven't starved to death in so many years, and I can't starve him to death - if you continue to dictate to my house, take this scholar and find another place to live."
Chen Danzhu chuckled and didn't force it anymore.
"Let's go, let's go." The tea seller waved her hand, "We can't rest even if you keep us busy here. How can Mr. Zhang take good care of his health?"
Although Zhang Yao behaved very calmly and spoke in a funny and calm manner, Chen Danzhu knew that what happened today was a big shock to Zhang Yao and she needed to let him rest.
"Then I'm leaving." She waved her hands and smiled.
The tea seller pushed her: "Go quickly, go quickly."
Chen Danzhu looked past her at Zhang Yao in the yard: "Mr. Zhang, live in peace, take your medicine well, and come to me if you need anything."
Zhang Yao smiled and saluted her: "Okay, thank you very much, Miss."
Chen Danzhu was pushed to the side of the car by the tea seller, and reluctantly took the tea seller's hand and told her: "Grandma, don't let him work, don't let him cut grass, feed cows, donkeys, chickens and ducks, don't
Let him wash clothes, don’t let him collect firewood, don’t let him babysit other people’s children——”
The tea seller turned around and said, "I'll give this person to you, and you can take it away quickly."
Chen Danzhu hugged her arm and smiled: "I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore." Then she got in the car.
Zhulin led the horse, and the three girls, A Tian, Yan'er and Cui'er, followed with smiles. They turned a corner and disappeared. The tea seller turned back into the yard and looked at Zhang Yao who was sitting on a small stool holding a medicine bottle.
"Scholar." She couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that your disease is incurable."
