A trace of sand

After living at the bottom of the valley for two months, Qingyang knew that although Miracle Doctor Xue did not treat people easily, he only came and went with high-ranking officials and nobles who spent a lot of money.Qingyang felt ashamed, so even though Xue Buer didn't say anything, he often offered to help.

Among them is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River named Yuan Chenqing. People who hate him respectfully call him a "stingy fox". press.Yan Qingyang can kill a lot of time just listening to the two people bargaining and haggling every day.Of these two, one is greedy for money and the other is stingy, and they make up a pair.

"Brother Qingyang!" Yuan Chenqing must be used to talking about business, and he can get acquainted with everyone, smiling all day long, with crooked eyes, which makes people feel a little close.

"Brother Yuan, do you have any advice?" Qingyang spoke very slowly, as if he was deliberating every word.

"I dare not take advice." Yuan Chenqing said with a smile, "I have been taking care of you these days. I heard that Brother Qingyang also came here to seek Xue Tanmoi's treatment. I don't know what disease to treat? Is there anyone who needs help?"

Qingyang frowned, not knowing how to answer, pondered for a moment, and said softly: "No need, thank you." Although he felt that Xue Buer's money is not easy to owe, it must be usury, asking Yuan Chenqing is an excellent way, But if he asked someone to borrow money, he was unwilling.

"Brother Qingyang won't let me help you, but tell me how dare I accept brother Qingyang's help again? These days, I heard Xue Tancai always talk about your consultation fee next to me. I think Brother Qingyang is too lazy to talk to Xue Tancai Being careless, it may not be because I was afraid of Xue Tancai, so I sent him away with money. Brother Qingyang doesn't have to pay Xue Tancai's consultation fees in the future, otherwise this kid will earn double." Yuan Chenqing said with a smile.He said "Xue is greedy for money", but Xue Buer said "yuan stingy", which made Yan Qingyang dumbfounded.

"Thank you..." Unexpectedly, Yuan Chenqing would pay him, Qingyang was taken aback, and then said gratefully, "I will return it to you in the future, your great kindness..."

"What do you say, Brother Qingyang and I hit it off immediately, and I don't care about a little money." Yuan Chenqing smiled wryly, "I have a disease in my body, and I don't know if I can survive it. If I can survive Besides, brother Qingyang, I heard that you came here to change your appearance?" Yuan Chenqing said in a low voice.

"Yes." Qingyang bit his lower lip, not knowing where to start.Yuan Chenqing is a trustworthy friend, but it seems a bit embarrassing to mention the past in front of friends.

"Is it to avoid some enemies? Tell me and listen, maybe I can buy a murderer to help you avenge?" Yuan Chenqing approached him mysteriously.Ordinary people, when they saw the people in the rivers and lakes, either looked at them in fear, or avoided them far away. There is no one like Yuan Chenqing.

"No." Qingyang hurriedly explained, "Actually, I just... just don't want to go back to the original place, and see the people I knew before..."

"Oh." Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Yuan Chenqing stopped asking, and said with a smile, "Being friends with brother Qingyang is the pleasure of my life. In the future, if you succeed in disguise, if I am not dead , we should celebrate this. We went to the most famous Tianxiang Building in Yangzhou City to celebrate, what do you think?"

whoring?Qingyang almost choked out of the tea he just drank, "You, you, what are you talking about?" He looked at Yuan Chenqing's huge belly, and was dumbfounded.

Yuan Chenqing lowered his head to look at his stomach, and sighed: "The child may be born by then. It's a little troublesome, you can't take the child to whores, right? You have to find a way..." Yuan Chenqing touched With his jaw down, he paced back and forth, thinking hard.

"Where's the child's father?" Yan Qingyang couldn't help but ask.

Since Yuan Chenqing is willing to give birth to a child for that man, he naturally has some feelings for that man. He went to whoring in front of the child's father. What is his idea?Isn't it true that a wife should abide by women's morals and take care of her husband and children at home?

Yuan Chenqing was overjoyed when he heard that, and said: "Brother Qingyang reminded me, you can throw the child to his father!"

Yan Qingyang was completely speechless.

"Brother Qingyang is really thoughtful! It seems that we should ask Brother Qingyang more in the future." Yuan Chenqing beamed with joy, and smiled very honestly, but the smile made Yan Qingyang shudder, and said in a low voice: " The child's father, won't you be sad?"

"Why is he so sad? Why can't I have a whore if he can have a whore? Everyone is a man, and I gave birth to him. How hard it is to give birth to a child. Besides, if the son does not teach, the father's fault, I think He should be looking after the children at home, and I should go to Tianxiang Tower to whore." Yuan Chenqing said righteously and sternly.

Qingyang gradually felt that Xue Buer's valley was a bit unbearable, not because Xue Buer often sneered and ridiculed him because he was not pleasing to the eye, but worried that Yuan Chenqing was so willing to enmity, if he knew about his past, he was pregnant with Xuan Bing's child, he must be scolded even more, I am afraid that Xuan Bing will be scolded for nothing.

No matter how Xuan Bing treats him, if others say something wrong about Xuan Bing in front of him, he will be very unhappy.

In fact, Xuan Bing is very good, at least the Xuan Bing many years ago was very good. Although Xuan Bing is uncertain and difficult to figure out now, but now he has become bad, and he has no position to talk about Xuan Bing.

The arrow hit three months ago was probably just a misunderstanding.

Although he comforted himself in this way, he never dared to confront Xuan Bing. Xuan Bing sneered, and he was speechless.

I was worried about whether the symptoms of pregnancy would be seen by Yuan Chenqing. Fortunately, Yuan Chenqing was out of danger and gave birth to a daughter safe and sound. He was anxious to solve the family affairs and left the valley in less than two months. He only said that he would come to meet again in the future See.

So there were no patients in the valley, only Xue Buer and him were left staring at each other.

"Master Xue, when will you help me change my appearance?" He said slowly.

"Do you think I really want you to live here? Every day you live here, I will spend an extra twelve cents..." Divine doctor Xue said with a sneer.

"But... But, didn't Mr. Yuan say that he, he paid the consultation fee in full?" If he hasn't paid it yet, he won't renege on the debt, and he will just pay him back slowly in the future.

Doctor Xue squinted his eyes and said: "Your request is too troublesome, that guy only paid a deposit, you are also a big man, you have hands and feet, why do you want others to pay for your consultation? Bring your wrist, I Take a pulse!"

"I was just going to ask the genius doctor how much Mr. Yuan paid, and I will pay him back in the future." After living with these two for a long time, Qingyang also found that he was gradually tainted with the smell of copper.She used to take care of the housework in the Qiao Mansion, but the old lady was in charge of the whole Qiao Mansion. Now that she is out of the Qiao Mansion, everything will be difficult in the future.

Divine doctor Xue raised his hand and said: "You can ask him about you and him, I don't care." He took the pulse for a while, and suddenly his face showed surprise, "You have yin veins on your body, as if you are pregnant with a child. Could it be Like Yuan Xiaoqi, you were also poisoned and ate the mother fruit?"

Qingyang shook his head and said, "I ate it myself."

"Unexpectedly, there are really people who are looking for crimes!" Xue Buer marveled for a moment, "This mother fruit is actually a highly poisonous thing. Since you are not poisonous like Yuan Xiaoqi, the two kinds of poison just coincide with each other. Restraint is taken after injury, so the poison enters the body. Now that I am pregnant, it is even more difficult to remove the poison, do you know?"

Hearing that she was pregnant, Qingyang couldn't help feeling mixed feelings. After pondering for a long time, he said: "Then after the baby is born, will it be infected with poison?"

Hearing that he knew he had been poisoned and was still thinking about the fetus in his womb, Xue Buer couldn't help being very surprised, and replied: "That's natural, but the child's poison is not much, at most there is only ten percent of your body." It’s just one thing, wait until he becomes an adult and detoxify slowly. However, the toxicity in your body is too strong, and you have been seriously injured. If you can’t take good care of yourself in the future, you may not live long. Now the fetus is only three months old It's big, it hasn't formed yet, if it's hit now and the poison is detoxified, it won't be so dangerous."

Qingyang was stunned for a while, then said softly: "If the child is gone, I don't want to live anymore."

Xue Buer couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "You are so young, why do you commit such suicide?"

He just shook his head and smiled wryly, remaining silent.

Everyone in the world looked down on him, and Xuan Bing had a change of heart.Now there is only one child who is really close to him.It is also a secret dream for him to secretly raise Daxuanbing's child, and he will not let the second person know.

"The art of the sword will use some medicines. I'm afraid it will hurt the child. Maybe the child will be sick after birth. After you give birth, I will disguise it for you!"

Qingyang nodded and said, "Master Xue, can I live until the child grows up?"

Xue Buer stared at him for a while, and said angrily: "I can't say for sure. If you are in a good mood every day and have no worries about food and clothing, it is not a problem to live for 100 years like Yuan Xiaoqi. If your life is not good, you will be caught in a carriage when you go out." Hit, can you blame me for being inaccurate?"

Qingyang was speechless for a while, and watched Xue Buer walk away with a flick of his sleeves.

The years in Jingxi Mountain passed quickly.

There was nothing to do in Guzhong, so Qingyang took care of all the household chores, whether it was washing and cleaning, making beds and making quilts, everything was done in an orderly manner. The kitchen in Guzhong was originally in charge of one of Xue Buer's servants, but suddenly the family had something to ask for leave When they got home, Qingyang took over naturally. Xue Buer didn't look good towards him at first, but after eating the dishes he cooked, he immediately smiled.

Qingyang was not in charge of cooking in Qiao’s Mansion, but he had nothing to do at ordinary times, so he learned how to cook from the chef. He wanted to make Xuan Bing happy, so he was naturally very attentive in doing these things, and the chef in Qiao’s Mansion liked it very much. He also taught him a lot of private dishes. Xuan Bing likes to drink soup for supper the most, and he doesn't repeat it for a month. Qing Yang is also very appropriate in making soup.

As a doctor, Xue Bu'er is also very proficient in health care and conditioning, but he doesn't have much time, so it's impossible for him to cook in person.And although he knew what to eat, he didn't know anything about cooking, and he was reluctant to hire a chef with good cooking skills. Now that Qingyang cooks and cooks, he naturally likes it very much.After a long cold war, the two finally found a common language.

"Qingyang, you are about to give birth, just let the servants do these things." Xue Buer said with a smile.

"It's okay, and I didn't do anything." Qingyang was washing the dishes, and there was no time to lift his head at this time, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.Xue Buer wiped him off with a sweat towel.

With a shake of Qingyang's hand, a bowl fell to the ground. He was flustered and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, it's just a bowl." Xue Buer was so generous that he raised his head in surprise, but saw Xue Buer's eyes staring at him with an indescribable ardor. He was a little puzzled, but it was only subconscious averted his gaze.

The discomfort of pregnancy occupied him for a long time. Later, he could not do all the housework. He often lay in bed and seldom got out of bed to move around.Although Xue Buer often talked to him and asked Ruoyan to accompany him, he always smiled forcedly.

Although he is dull, he has regarded himself as Xuan Bing's wife since he was a child, and naturally regards understanding as his biggest goal. How can he not understand Xue Buer's thoughts now.

Divine doctor Xue is handsome, although he is a bit greedy for money, compared to Xuan Bing, he is indeed much better.But at this time, since Xue Buer didn't open his mouth, and he was asking for help, he just pretended not to know.

He always thought in his heart that Miracle Doctor Xue is very good, but if he was with him, he would ruin Miracle Doctor Xue.Moreover, he could never forget that person in his heart. Although that person hurt him too deeply, he always thought of him.

He knew that he was hopeless in this life, and if he met that person, he would be dead. If he happened again in this life, he would have nothing to say. Seeing his face and listening to his words made him lose his mind. How can I make another choice.

But Miracle Doctor Xue is a good person, and he must not be saddened.After giving birth to a child and changing his appearance, he immediately went out of the valley and could no longer live in the valley.

Thinking of this, he felt a little more relaxed, and treated Xue Buer nicely, and never made Xue Buer embarrassed.

****

After more than a month, the child was born.It was a boy, but before he opened his eyes, Qingyang begged Xue Buer to change his face.

Xue Buer was a little embarrassed, and said: "Your body hasn't recovered yet, if you use the sword technique, I'm afraid it will hinder your body."

"A body like mine, so what if there is no hindrance?" He smiled wryly, "If you don't help me do it, I can do it myself with a few cuts on the face."

"Don't you try to use a human skin mask? I still have a few masks in my hand. How about you pick the one you like?"

"The human skin mask will definitely reveal whereabouts. You can hide for a while, but not for a lifetime." The power of the Tianyi Sect is so powerful that even Xue Buer doesn't know it.

"Okay, get ready, I'll perform the spell on you in a few days." Xue Buer had no choice but to agree.

He looked at Qingyang with a tired face, but he was holding the child tightly, his face was full of joy and joy, his heart was light, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to leave the door.

When he returned to the pharmacy, Ruoyan, the only young disciple, was making medicine. When he saw him coming in, he raised his head and said slowly, "Master, he has someone in his heart, so why should you lose your mind for him?"

Xue Buer sighed and said: "At first, I thought it was time to find you a mistress. She is a good person and can handle housework. She is indeed a suitable candidate. Although as a man, he is really not good enough, but He knows all about women's clubs, and his temperament is much stronger than that of ordinary women, so if we can be with him, it is naturally suitable."

Ruo yan smiled faintly: "So Master wants to save the dowry money?"

Xue Buer coughed awkwardly: "You are young, what do you know?"

Ruo yan smiled but said nothing, just looked at him.Xue Buer only said: "I did think so at first, but later I felt that he has a very good temperament. When I look at him, I feel calm in my heart. When I can't see him, I feel very disturbed. A kind-hearted person like him People, there should be someone who loves him well."

"Master said that, does it mean that he is willing to pay the bride price?" Ruoyan laughed.

"Then why don't you want to?" Xue Buer sighed quietly, and immediately knew that he was being teased by his disciples, and said angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, I will break your head!" Xue Buer took a medicine grinder and came Hitting him, Ruoyan laughed and dodged.

***

Miracle doctor Xue's skills are indeed ingenious.

Qingyang stared blankly at the mirror, and the man in the mirror was also staring at him blankly, like eyelids that could never be opened, making his sad eyes seem dull, and his facial features changed everywhere, completely seeing The only thing that remains the same is the bland temperament, and the cowardice that can never be eliminated in demeanor and speech.

If this cannot be changed, it may still be seen.After all, it is indeed too rare for him to look like a man, but behave like an out-and-out lady from a great family.

"I used very special medicinal materials to make your face. If you regret it, you can change it back now. If you don't change it, after three to five years, it will grow together with the muscles and skin, and you will not be able to change it anymore." Miracle Doctor Xue road.

"I understand. Divine doctor Xue, thank you." He said gratefully.

"There is nothing to thank. By the way, I used plaster to make a model of your original appearance. If someone wants to change from ugly to handsome in the future, they can also use your appearance as a reference. Would you mind?"

He was slightly startled, shook his head and said: "Of course I won't use my original appearance again. It's just that I was born in an unfortunate life. If it becomes my appearance, it will most likely be unlucky."

Divine doctor Xue said with a smile: "Since ancient times, beauties have suffered a lot, so it must be the case for handsome men."

Qingyang couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and said: "The genius doctor made fun of it. No matter how handsome you are, if you have a bad personality, it's useless."

"You have a very good personality, I like it very much." Xue Buer said softly.

Qingyang was startled, he didn't expect that Miracle Doctor Xue would bring up this matter at this time, he didn't know how to refuse, after a long silence, he said in a low voice: "Miraculous Doctor Xue is so kind and virtuous, Yan has nothing to repay, only the next life, Be a bull and a horse... If Divine Doctor Xue thinks that the afterlife is uncertain, I... I will double the consultation fee..."

After hearing what he said, Xue Buer didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, so he just nodded and said, "I'll go to see the child." Then he went out of the room.

Qingyang pursed his lips.Miracle Doctor Xue seemed to love the baby very much, but the more he was like this, the more he felt an indescribable guilt towards Miracle Xue.

If ordinary men give birth after eating the mother-child fruit, some of them will have milk, but Qingyang is obviously not one of them.So Miracle Doctor Xue took pains to make rice porridge, and asked Ruoyan to bring some cow and goat milk when he came back.

He had just given birth, and he used the knife technique again, so he didn't get out of bed for half a month, unable to take care of the baby, so he let the baby live in another room, let Ruoyan and Divine Doctor Xue take care of it.

Divine doctor Xue is extremely dedicated to the child, and every time the baby wakes up, or has just had milk, Divine doctor Xue will come to tell him.

Now half a month has passed, the incision on his face has long since healed, and there is no trace left. Doctor Xue also allowed him to get out of bed and walk around occasionally.So he put on his shoes and put on his clothes to see the child.

Doctor Xue is changing the baby's diaper.The baby was waving his chubby hands and crying loudly.Divine doctor Xue was very fast, and soon finished. He lifted the baby up with a smile: "It's comfortable after changing the diaper, isn't it?" , waving his fat hand.

Divine doctor Xue pretended to be angry: "Stinky boy, are you going to hit me? You really have a bad temper!"

Qingyang was leaning against the door, watching this scene, smiling uncontrollably.

Miracle doctor Xue will be a good father, right?If Xuanbing can do this, they will be an enviable family of three.But now, he is only Xuan Bing's next wife, and Doctor Xue, he deserves someone better.

Divine doctor Xue had obviously seen him, turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Qingyang, have you got out of bed? The time should not be too long, lest you catch a cold."

He put down the child, took a piece of clothing and wanted to put it on Qingyang.Qingyang hurriedly took it, and didn't let him put it on, just said: "I will do it myself."

Xue Buer's hand stopped.There was a sudden silence between the two of them.

Qingyang lowered his head and put on his clothes silently.In order to relieve the embarrassment between each other, Xue Buer coughed and said, "The baby is so cute. After he was born, you haven't hugged him much, have you? Come and hug him to see if he looks like you?"

He was looking for something to say. In fact, the child's facial features are not easy to see, and he didn't pay much attention. When he asked the question, he took a closer look at the baby's appearance. After seeing it, he immediately knew that he was wrong. Talked.

The child has a pair of red phoenix eyes, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, the chin is slightly pointed, and the eyebrows are slender, completely unlike Qingyang's upright and handsome appearance.Since it's not like Qingyang, it's probably like that bastard who deserves to be killed.

Xue Buer was startled, and when he turned his head to look, he saw Qingyang's face full of surprise and fear, which immediately shocked him.

"Qingyang, what's wrong with you?" Xue Buer quickly supported him.

"Baby...Baby is like him..." Qingyang was trembling all over, almost unable to stand still.If the baby looks like Xuan Bing, so what if he changes his appearance, Xuan Bing will still know that he secretly gave birth to his child.Xuan Bing will definitely be angry, since he will kill himself, of course he can kill the baby too.

"Miraculous doctor...can you do something good and help me change the baby's appearance?" Qing Yang trembled, grabbing the sleeve of Miracle Doctor Xue.

Xue Buer stared at him, and sighed softly: "Qingyang, you know, if you use the sword technique for a long time, the medicine and muscles will condense, and the changed appearance will become your true appearance. But the baby now He is only so young, and his musculature and bones have not yet formed. If he uses the sword technique now, his face will be deformed in the future, and he may become ugly. If he must change it, he will have to wait until he is 20 years old."

Hearing that this was absolutely impossible, Qingyang knelt down and covered his face.

Ten years of exhaustion made him unable to hold on any longer, tears leaked from his fingers, his shoulders trembled slightly, but there was no sound.

Hearing his silent crying, Xue Buer felt sorry for him, and didn't know what to say. He patted his shoulder, and comforted him softly: "The appearance of the newborn is very different from the appearance of the grown-up, you don't have to worry about it too much." I'm worried, and the baby has been living in the valley, wouldn't his father know about it?"

Qingyang nodded, forced a smile, and went to hug the child.

Miracle doctor Xue wanted him to stay with good intentions, how could Qingyang not know?It's just that the power of the Tianyi Sect is gradually growing, and it is naturally impossible for this small valley to escape from the rivers and lakes without being discovered.

Many of the people who come and go are from the Jianghu. He has been in extreme danger this year, and he doesn't know when he will meet the congregation who come to seek medical treatment.

What's more, since it is impossible for him to fall in love with Miracle Doctor Xue, why give him hope?

He held the child in his arms. The child was small, not as big as half of his sleeve, and he was smiling at him with his chubby face upturned.

He couldn't help but feel a little bit happier because of the child, and gently hooked his index finger to the child's little hand, feeling that the child's soft little hand was trying to gently hold his fingertips, he smiled and whispered: "Baby, are you Don't you like Uncle Xue very much? He treats you very well, right? But the longer we stay here, the more we will hurt him..."

The baby is still young, so naturally he doesn't know anything, knowing that he is just talking to himself, but he can't help but confide in the baby.

He smiled to himself.

If it has been like this for a long time, the baby is originally weak, and he will probably feel sad about it. If the baby is born strong, seeing him so depressed, I am afraid that he will also feel impatient.It must not be like this in the future.

Although Miracle Doctor Xue is very good, it is not for their father and son to use.He pondered for a while, and finally made a decision.

In the early morning, Jingxi Mountain, which used to be noisy due to the crying of babies, returned to its original tranquility this day.

As soon as Xue Buer opened his eyes, he felt that something was wrong. Before he changed his clothes, he rushed to the baby's cradle and saw that the baby was no longer lying there, so he went to look for Qingyang again in fear, but the room was empty. .

Xue Buer stood in the room feeling lost.Ruo yan walked in slowly, handed him a letter silently, and said softly, "Master, he's gone."

Xue Buer took the letter and read it hastily, feeling a little sour in his heart.

"Thanks to the divine doctor's wrong love, so much care, Qingyang's crippled body and life, he should just drift in the rivers and lakes. Qingyang never forgets the kindness of the divine doctor Xue, and he will definitely repay it in the future. Qingyang respectfully."

Could his feelings be overwhelmed by a single sentence of wrong love?Xue Buer stared at the letter paper in a daze. Apart from being graceful, the handwriting had an indescribably elegant state.If that person puts his mind to rest, he will be able to escape from the mud, fly and transform into a dragon. No one in the world can compare with him.Maybe she insisted on forcing him to stay by her side, but she wronged him.Although I have excellent medical skills, in this world, doctors, divination and merchants are all low-level professions, so I will inevitably be despised by others.

He sighed, Ruoyan knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "If Master can't let go, then go find him yourself. As long as he is attracted to you, everything else is trivial."

Xue Buer shook his head and said: "The world is so big, where can we find it. What's more, we who study medicine don't have so much time."

"Master can hang the pot to help the world, practice medicine to save people, and drop by to find Mr. Yan, isn't that all right?"

Xue Buer frowned and said, "Did you pay such attention to trick me out of the valley so that you can be lazy at home?"

"It's nothing, Master, you are overthinking." Ruoyan was still a child after all, and he was very embarrassed when he was guessed by the master. He quickly pretended to cough, but he couldn't hide it from Xue Buer, and was hit hard on the head one time.

"I have my own concerns about this matter, so don't make up your mind."
