Chapter 29 Poisoning
Author: Lian Xiaoai
When it comes to work issues, Cheng Xue paused for a moment, then looked around and said:
"You will have to worry about Tiedan and Sidan from now on. It will be easier for men to get along with each other."
Oh, you are very vigilant!
Li Hui nodded helplessly, lowering his head and eating noodles.
Just when he was about to give up——
"I won't go to department dinners because I can't stand the atmosphere of praising leaders."
"...Oh, yes, it fits your character."
Li Hui was a little flattered and was afraid that the words would fall to the floor, so he smiled and said:
"Is it because of this that you were sent to City C?"
"That's not true. I took my annual leave to travel and happened to catch up, so I volunteered. I usually stay at home during my breaks, watching short videos or reading online articles. I don't know what happened this year. I just wanted to go out and take a look."
Li Hui knew that it was not easy to "pry open the door", so he quickly ate all the noodles, wiped his mouth and suggested:
"Shall we talk while walking? We have been together for so long and it is not easy for us to have a chance to talk. Let's not miss it. We can't be separated anyway. I will tell you my things, and you will also tell me your taboos. This way we can avoid touching each other in the future.
What do you think when you touch the opponent's reverse scale?"
"Okay." Cheng Xue did not refuse.
Li Hui put the money on the table, pulled her sleeve and walked out.
It seems that this has become a habit. Whenever they walk together, he will inevitably pull her.
The destination is Shengrentang, which is not far away. I only want to walk to eat.
They walked deliberately slowly and talked a lot. As long as she didn't mention her family, she would chatter endlessly and answer every question.
In this way, he was even more convinced that her original family was not good, and he felt an extra layer of distress in his heart.
The medicinal smell is very strong, and Shengrentang is just around the corner.
Li Hui didn't chat enough, so he tilted his head and looked at her and asked:
"Continuing tonight? I like hearing about your surgery."
"Okay." Cheng Xue nodded, "I can also tell you some things you want to ask but don't dare to ask."
After he finished speaking, he showed a relieved smile.
Li Hui knew that he had succeeded, and he finally made her take off her guard and try to believe him...
…
Shengrentang is the best medicine hall for gynecological treatment in Pingyang County. It sees many doctors every day, and some of them are even ladies from high-ranking families.
After waiting for a stick of incense, we finally arrived at Cheng Xue.
The doctor checked the pulse for a moment, then stroked his beard and nodded:
"Your health is almost healed. If you want to take good care of yourself, you can take Yangrong Pills for a month. It can warm the palace and dispel cold, and improve your cold hands and feet in the morning and evening. You may occasionally sweat on weekdays, and it can also be improved.
"
Without waiting for Cheng Xue to answer, Li Hui hurriedly nodded in response:
"Yes, yes, she breaks out in sweats all the time. When I mention it, she says sweating and detoxification. Sir, feel free to prescribe it, no matter how expensive it is, we will take it."
The doctor looked at him when he heard the sound, pointed at Cheng Xue and said:
"Get up, ask him to sit down, and I'll show him."
"Me?" Li Hui was surprised.
Cheng Xue hurriedly stood up, pressed him down, and sat down.
"Sir, does my husband have any hidden illness?"
"I can't tell, but the color of the whites of my eyes is wrong."
Li Hui immediately couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
"Sir, I got up too early today, and then..."
Cheng Xue glared back at the next words, and Ma Liu put her hand on the pulse pillow in cooperation and stopped talking. But she was still very unconvinced.
If he wasn't afraid that she would close herself off again, he wouldn't be obedient.
Cheng Xue stared at the doctor without blinking, fearing that he would suddenly raise his head and say "I'm sorry" to her.
These three words were the last words she wanted to say after starting work, and many times she had no choice but to do anything about them.
After a long time, the doctor asked Li Hui to change his hand, and Cheng Xue asked:
"Has he had any abnormalities in the past few years? Lethargy? Coldness? Poor memory?"
Cheng Xue searched her memory, shook her head and answered:
"Sir, there are none of these things you said. But he has been sick every spring since he was fifteen years old, and it was always a fatal disease, and he missed the scientific examination.
It has been seven years in a row, and I fell ill in the beginning of this year. I was treated at our local Shunrentang. Every time I am sick, I drink the decoction for half a month and it will be cured. If I am weak, I will be fine after a few months."
Deji Tang is the best medicine hall in Shushan Town, but for some unknown reason, the original owner took his husband to Shun Ren Tang every time he fell ill.
If it were Cheng Xue who had brought people to the county a long time ago, why would he have spent so much money and wasted so much time?
The doctor withdrew his hand and led them into the back hall of the house.
There was an old man sitting in the hall. He had a gray beard, a ruddy complexion, and was dressed in white clothes. He looked like an expert from outside the world.
The doctor stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said humbly:
"Master, this patient's pulse is fine, but the color in his eyes is wrong. I'm not sure, so please take a look."
The old man opened his eyes when he heard the sound, stared at Li Hui for a moment, and said:
"It's not a big problem. Ten doses of rhubarb soup will eliminate the remaining poison."
Remaining poison?!
Cheng Xue was astonished. He stepped forward hurriedly, solemnly said:
"Please tell me clearly what kind of poison my husband has been poisoned by."
The old man slowly closed his eyes, stroked his beard and shook his head:
"It's hard to judge because of the passage of time. You are a young man and have a long life. Just pay more attention in the future. If the remaining poison is not clear, you will linger on the bed without confusion, and it is you who will suffer."
"Thank you, old man."
After Cheng Xue finished speaking, she was about to take out the money, but the doctor on the side stopped her with a look.
The three people returned to the lobby, and the doctor said while prescribing:
"Master won't charge you if you don't feel the pulse. You are lucky, I happen to be sitting in the hall today. Another doctor may not be able to see your man's lesions. Drink rhubarb soup once a day on an empty stomach for ten days.
Just take Yangrong Pills for a month. If you are free after a month, come over and I will take a look at you. If you are not free, go to your local doctor to take your pulse. I sit in the hall on the eighth day of every month all day long."
"Yes, thank you sir." Cheng Xue thanked him and took the prescription with both hands.
This time it was her turn to pull Li Hui, not with his sleeves, but with his palms.
Poisoning is no small matter.
They said it was impossible to "get sick every time you take an exam", but it turned out that someone did it deliberately.
If Li Hui was poisoned in ancient times, could this be the reason why Li Yuan and his wife suddenly contracted the disease and died suddenly?
Who poisoned it?
Li Qingnian? Or Li Fang? Or other members of the Li clan?
Ten pairs of rhubarb soup cost only one tael of silver, and a bottle of Yangrong Pills cost four taels of silver.
It was estimated that the medical treatment would cost twenty taels, but now it only cost a quarter. It was originally a happy thing, but neither of them was happy.
We had agreed to go to Xiu Alley for a stroll after getting sick, but at the moment I was not interested and hurried back to Penglai Inn.
The temperature in the room had risen a lot, and Cheng Xue was afraid of carbon monoxide poisoning, so she opened the window for a while.
Seeing him sitting motionless on the bed with a frown on his face, she walked over and knelt down, raised her head and asked in a low voice:
"Did you remember anything? I think his parents' death was not simple. Do you think it would be..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Hui stretched out his hand to pick her up, pulled her to sit next to him and said:
"I have long suspected that he will get sick during the exam, but there is nothing in my memory, so I have no clue. What the two doctors said today... Do you think I will still get sick in the coming spring?"
