A ragged cub at the beginning

"My senior brother is amazing! He can cure any disease and any injury! My master is not as amazing as him!" Sun Banxia suddenly became lively when her senior brother came. While eating, she told Tang Xu and the others how amazing her senior brother was. "My senior brother has been practicing medicine with my master since he was thirteen years old! He has also been to the battlefield! There is no place he has not been! A soldier was stabbed from the back! His bones and flesh were exposed! My senior brother cured him! He is still alive! My senior brother also saved a person who was about to die! Everyone said he was dead and was about to carry him away to be buried, but my senior brother saved him! He is still alive now!"

"Banxia," Pei Wushu heard her getting more and more excited, and called her, "eat first."

"Oh." Banxia sat down obediently, ate a few bites, and wanted to continue talking.

Pei Wushu glanced at her, Banxia pouted and buried her head in eating.

"Doctor Pei's medical skills are so good!" Tang Xu looked over with admiration.

"Pei Shengshou, who brought back the soul with three needles, is definitely amazing." Tang Yao was no longer as casual as before, and bowed to Pei Wushu, "Thank you very much, Pei Shengshou, for saving my life."

Pei Wushu returned the greeting and said, "Thank you already, no need to be polite."

"Do you know that three needles can bring the dead back to life?" Sun Banxia raised his head again, wanting to talk.

"Banxia, ​​have you forgotten the oath you swore when you entered the valley?" Pei Wushu reminded softly.

Banxia's face froze, "I dare not forget, I was wrong."

"Let's eat." Pei Wushu patted her shoulder soothingly without any intention of blaming her.

Tang Xu suddenly thought of Zhu Ying, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "If it is a congenital cause that affects one's life span, can it be cured?"

The congenital disease was both simple and complicated. Pei Wushu did not boast and only said, "Call me to take a look."

If you are willing to see it, maybe you can see it better? Tang Xu said happily: "Okay, thank you Doctor Pei."

Pei Wushu shook his head and said, "If you can cure me, thank me later."

Tang Xu said seriously, "Whether or not the treatment is good is another matter. Doctor Pei is willing to help, so of course I should thank him."

Sun Banxia, ​​who had enough sleep and good food, and had a senior brother, was completely different from before. His face was no longer stern as before, but a relaxed and happy smile.

Tang Xu went to Sansi Embroidery House to tell Qin Wen that a very good doctor had come and asked Zhu Ying to come and see him the next day. Qin Wen didn't dare to delay and apologized for notifying the eldest lady when she heard that there was hope for the young lady's illness.

"There's no need to be so anxious. Doctor Pei just arrived here, so we can't disturb him today." Tang Xu said.

"Let's see tomorrow, but I can't tell you tomorrow. Sister, please go back today, and I will come to apologize another day." Qin Wen saw Tang Xu off and went to Zhu's house in a carriage.

Zhu's parents were a little hesitant when they heard this. Mother Zhu said worriedly, "Is the doctor that Miss Tang found good enough? Our family has seen many famous doctors, not to mention the imperial doctors, but we have seen countless famous doctors, all of whom were helpless. Miss Tang has a bad reputation and her style of doing things is different from that of ordinary people. She is good at teaching. What if she finds a mediocre doctor who gives random diagnoses and treatments?"

Zhu Ying gently held her mother's hand, "Mother, I want to go and see. I know a little bit about medicine because I have been ill for a long time. Let's listen to what the doctor says. If it is not right, I will not gamble with my body." She smiled and said, "Miss Tang is a good person. She has taken in many women and children in difficult situations, and also taken in several orphans who were abandoned and begged for a living. Besides, what's wrong with being different from ordinary people? What's the fun of being the same as everyone else? She is a person of temperament, and I like getting along with her very much."

"It's okay to just take a look. I'll go with you." Zhu's father decided.

Zhu's mother looked at her husband and then at her daughter and sighed.

"Mother, Miss Tang is really good, please believe me..." Zhu Ying rarely acted like a spoiled child, and her already outstanding face became even more charming, making people unable to refuse her.

"I know, I know." Zhu Ying's coquettish look when she was little overlaps with her current look, exactly the same, so cute that it makes people's hearts melt. "You're still coquettish at this age." She complained, but she held her daughter's hand tightly.

The three members of the Zhu family arrived at the Du family early in the morning. Old Madam Du and Zhu's mother exchanged greetings, and Du Yun went out early in the morning.

Butler Qi wanted to ask Pei Wushu, but Zhu Ying said, "My daughter is here to seek medical treatment. I don't want to trouble the doctor to run back and forth. If it's convenient, I will go."

"That's fine." Old Madam Du asked Butler Qi to take her there.

"Please forgive me, old madam. I only have this one daughter in the family and I'm really worried about you. I'll go and see her too." Father Zhu endured for a while, but couldn't sit still anymore, so he followed.

"Madam, I..." Mother Zhu was also feeling uneasy.

"Parents in the world are so caring. Let's go and take a look together." Old Madam Du is not a pedantic person.

After housekeeper Qi informed them, Zhu Ying walked into the yard with two maids. She saw Pei Wushu carrying a medicine box and sitting down at the table in the yard. For a moment, Zhu Ying couldn't even remember what the faces next to her looked like. She was just shocked that someone looked like a fairy at first glance.

She looked at herself in the mirror every day, and seemed to be immune to beauty. Except for Tang Ling, she had a cold temperament and delicate features like a snow god. But this could not be compared with this one. His eyes were calm and peaceful, but like a deep pool.

Pei Wushu had long been accustomed to such looks. In his opinion, his appearance was given by his parents, and there was nothing to be proud of. It was even a little troublesome, so he raised his arm and gestured, "Miss Zhu, please sit down."

"Yes, yes, sorry, I'm rude." Zhu Ying's heart was beating fast and her cheeks suddenly felt hot. She wished she could find a hole to bury herself on the spot.

"It's okay, hand." Pei Wushu took a handkerchief, placed it on Zhu Ying's thin wrist, and placed his slender fingers on it.

Zhu's parents and Mrs. Du arrived and were first amazed at the doctor's appearance, and then anxiously waited for his diagnosis.

Pei Wushu had a rough idea in his mind after feeling the pulse. He cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, let me see your tongue and eyes."

Zhu Ying cooperated and moved closer, not daring to look at the other person's face.

If other young doctors acted like this, they might be considered as taking advantage of others. But with Doctor Pei's expression, he always felt that someone else was taking advantage of him.

Mrs. Du thought that Tang Xu was stunned yesterday. Although he woke up immediately, he didn't dare to look at Doctor Pei's face afterwards. I don't know what kind of parents can give birth to such a child.

"The previous doctor's medical skills were very good, and he had been stabilizing the balance in the girl's body. But it's not safe. Once the girl gets sick and doesn't take medicine in time, even a god can't save her." Pei Wushu said.

"Yes, yes, yes! Taoist Feiyun said the same thing!" When Zhu's mother heard these familiar words, she immediately believed the doctor. "Doctor Pei, do you have any solution?"

Pei Wushu shook his head. "I can't think of a better prescription than this, but my master is very good at treating chronic diseases. Wait a few days, and I'll write to ask."

Although there was no definite news, there was new hope. Father Zhu bowed, tears in his eyes, "Thank you, thank you doctor!"

"No need to do that. I'll let you know when I get the letter." Pei Wushu stood up and turned sideways, not accepting the greeting. "Miss Zhu, do you feel chest tightness or pain from time to time?"

Zhu Ying glanced at her parents and bit her lip and said, "Yes."

Zhu's parents' expressions changed, and Zhu's mother asked anxiously, "Why didn't I listen to you?"

"If you take this medicine for a long time, this symptom is inevitable. Although I don't have a cure, I can give the girl a few acupuncture treatments to relieve the pain." Pei Wushu said.

"Brother! Brother! Xiaonan said he was hungry!" Banxia ran in from outside, "Sister Zhu! Are you here to see my brother? My brother is willing to..."

"Banxia, ​​be careful with your words." Pei Wushu interrupted her, "Have you examined this girl? Do you have any clues?"

"I, I've seen it, and I don't have any way to cure it." Banxia stood up straight with her head slightly lowered. Her whole body, even the whorl of hair on top of her head, looked obedient and pitiful.

This was a trick she was good at using. Whenever she was scolded, she would put on this look, making it hard for people to talk to her. "You didn't mention this in your previous letter."

"I..." I forgot! Who knows why my senior brother came here. "I was wrong."

"Excuse me, everyone. I will go with her to see another patient first." Pei Wushu said, "Miss Zhu, if you are not in a hurry to wait for a moment, my junior sister may not be well-trained, but her acupuncture skills are quite good. I will guide her and she will perform the acupuncture."

"Please go ahead." Zhu Ying knelt down and saluted, then stepped aside.

After the people left, Zhu's mother held her daughter's hand, feeling distressed and angry, "Why didn't you tell me when you were feeling bad?"

"How long has the pain been going on?" Zhu's father asked with a frown.

Zhu Ying shook her head, "Not long."

"Ziping, you say." said Zhu's mother.

Zi Ping bit her lip, ignored Lv Liu's hand pulling at her sleeve, knelt on the ground and said in a sobbing voice: "The girl has been in pain for three years."

"Ziping!" Zhu Ying shouted, and Ziping trembled all over and fell to the ground crying.

Three years later, Zhu's mother took a step back, clutching her chest but unable to hold back the pain in her heart, "My dear, why didn't you tell me? Three years, three years..."

Father Zhu held his wife's hand and closed his eyes to hold back tears. "What can I say to you, kid?"

Zhu Ying stepped forward and helped her mother sit down. "It doesn't hurt that much, actually. I'm used to it. I secretly asked Taoist Feiyun, and he said there's no solution. As long as you keep taking the medicine, it will hurt. But if you don't take it, you'll die. If you want to live, you have to give something. It doesn't hurt much." She said it lightly, but Zhu's mother felt as if someone had dug a piece of her heart out, and the pain made her feel weak all over.

"Doctor Pei can give me acupuncture now, and then the pain will go away. Don't be sad, mother. The pain is like an ant bite, it's just annoying." Zhu Ying helped Zhu's mother calm down and looked back at Luliu. Luliu took Ziping out.

This girl is becoming more and more talkative, and she dares to say anything.

"If it was just an ant bite, why would the doctor deliberately offer to help you relieve it? You would just coax me." Mother Zhu let out a long sigh, "I hope Doctor Pei will do what he says. If my son feels unwell, please tell me."

"Got it." Zhu Ying nodded.

Father Zhu sighed and stood at the door waiting for the doctor to come back.
