fall into dust

The next day, Bai Yi took Xuelian back to her own house. The house was not big, but it was one of the best places in the town. Xuelian looked around curiously and chose a simple room to settle down.Bai Yi kept looking at him with complicated eyes, Xue Lian seemed to be aware of it, but every time he looked at Bai Yi, he withdrew his gaze, Xue Lian didn't ask any more questions, just thought he was beginning to doubt him.

Bai Yi really doubted him. He sent someone to inquire about the village on the other side of the mountain after hearing what Xuelian said yesterday, but there was nothing there. There was a vast jungle behind the mountain. Where did the village come from? He was sure that Xuelian had lied, but Why is he lying?Does he not remember what happened that day?

"Hello, shopkeeper?" Xue Lian called him like the other guys. Bai Yi came back to his senses and asked, "Ah? What?"

"Prepare me a bedroll." Although he is not afraid of the cold, he always has to hide it.

"Oh." Only then did Bai Yi come to his senses, and hurried to get it, but just as he stepped over the threshold, he bumped into someone.

"Ouch!" A gentle female voice said, "Sister-in-law, when did you come back?" Xiaoyue said pleasantly, with a somewhat cheerful tone.

Embarrassment suddenly flashed across Bai Yi's face. He straightened his face, smiled slightly, and replied, "Just now, I have a friend who is staying here for a while."

Xiaoyue glanced into the room and saw a man with an extraordinary appearance standing in the room. Xue Lian was very happy when she heard Xiaoyue address Bai Yi. This man is already married, so it can't be his doom, okay It was dangerous, and I was startled, Xuelian looked at Xiaoyue very pleasing to the eye now, and smiled at her.

Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away. He gave a little blessing, and said to Bai Yi, "Is there something urgent, Mr. Xiang?"

"Prepare some bedding for him," Bai Yi said.

"Let's take care of the young master here, I will prepare." Xiaoyue said, bowed and left.

Xue Lian came over, hooked Bai Yi's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you have a lot of good fortune." He was very happy in his heart, and even felt that Bai Yi should be happy too.

But Bai Yi was not as happy as he imagined, he still had a cold face, and just said: "You should rest first, and come to the clinic tomorrow."

Xuelian was confused by him, how could this person be enthusiastic and ruthless at one time, he finally got in a good mood and wanted to have a drink with him, but in the end, he was poured cold water, Xuelian sniffed, and secretly raised a middle finger.

Bai Yi didn't want to do this either, but he couldn't control himself. Since the chance encounter three years ago, he always thought of him. He knew that he might be in love with him, but he couldn't have any results with him, because he He had been engaged since he was a child, his mother was seriously ill two years ago, and the only thing he hoped for was that he could get married as soon as possible. Bai Yi agreed with tears, and proposed marriage to the Lin family in a few days, and married Lin Xiaoyue not long after.

Not long after, his mother died of illness, and he and Xiaoyue made ends meet, and lived a comfortable life. He thought that he would spend his whole life with Xiaoyue respectfully, but when he was about to forget him, he unexpectedly appeared.

Bai Yi stopped in frustration. He looked back at Xue Lian's room. Through the open door, he saw that he was lying on his back on the bed, swinging his legs freely. Don't remember, the miss he treasured in his heart means nothing to him?The more Bai Yi thought about it, the more angry she became. Xue Lian felt her nose itchy, and suddenly sneezed. Bai Yi's heart skipped a beat. With a cold snort, she went back and closed the door of Xue Lian's room.

That night, Bai Yi, Xuelian, and Xiaoyue had dinner together. Baiyi had a bitter face the whole time, as if someone owed him a lot of money. No matter where she lives, Xuelian is happy and at ease, and she is also willing to chat with Xiaoyue. The two of you talk to each other, so that Bai Yi looks like an outsider.

After dinner, the three of them recuperated and went to bed in good time. Because the weather was cold, it was inconvenient to go out at night, so Bai Yi gave Xuelian a few words and let him go back to the room. Xuelian sat in her room, staring at the stove. , Bai Yi had lit a fire for him just now, and he really wanted to pour a pot of water out.

Early the next morning, Bai Yi took Xuelian to the medical clinic. After tossing and turning all night, he finally decided to check the situation first, and then ask if he had an opportunity. After all, he was married now, and even if Xuelian remembered that incident, he could not change anything. .

Xue Lian was very curious about the new job, so he followed Bai Yi and listened to him explain what it was and what it was. Various herbs were placed in small boxes one by one, just like the place where fairy seeds were stored in a hundred gardens.

"Are you listening?" Bai Yi asked with a frown.

"Oh, I know, Angelica can invigorate qi, nourish blood, dredge meridians and activate collaterals, and Coptis chinensis can clear away heat, detoxify and regulate the intestines and stomach." Xuelian answered fluently. Although he looked around, Bai Yi could still hear what he said.

Seeing him speechless for a long time, Bai Yi sighed and continued.

It was the busy period in the morning in the medical clinic, and the staff and the doctor were all busy. Even so, there was still a long line of people picking up medicine, as if there were a lot of people seeing a doctor today.Bai Yi's heart tightened, and he hurried to the doctor to check on the injured.

The temperature has dropped suddenly in the past few days, there are countless people suffering from typhoid fever, and the medicinal materials in the medical center are almost exhausted. Fortunately, Bai Yi went to the mountain to pick some, and there are still many in his own medicinal garden, otherwise he might not be able to keep up.

Bai Yi was examining a patient carefully, when suddenly a person rushed into the door and shouted: "Doctor Bai, go and see my wife quickly, she has had a fever for two days, and she hasn't improved after taking medicine." A little girl Crying, Bai Yi didn't have time to ask, the sad medicine box followed, Xue Lian didn't know what to do, so she followed.

Arriving at the Li family's mansion, Bai Yi saw Mrs. Li through the gauze curtain, and he didn't dare to jump to conclusions for a while. His medical skills are excellent, and the whole Queqiao Town knows, but today he is quite hesitant. Master Li Seeing this situation, he panicked immediately, and asked urgently, "Sir, what are the symptoms of my wife?"

Bai Yi knew that Mrs. Li was indeed suffering from a cold, but the cold was a bit severe, how could the fever persist for two days, he thought about it, and comforted him: "Master Li, don't worry, wait for me to prescribe a prescription. "Bai Yi picked up the pen and ink he had prepared, made up the prescription in twos and twos, handed it to a servant, and said: "Just once a day, don't drink too much." He glanced at Li who was still lying down. Ma'am, this wind chill seems unusual.

After leaving Li's residence, Bai Yi realized that Xuelian had been following him all the time. Thinking of this person, he felt a burst of sadness on his face.Ugh...how should I put it.

The two walked back side by side. Bai Yi was hesitant to speak several times, and Xue Lian felt a little flustered when she saw it. When Bai Yi raised her eyes for the fourth time and was about to speak, Xue Lian said eagerly: "If you have anything to say, hurry up, Don't hide it, you're not tired."

With deep eyes, Bai Yi finally made up his mind, "You..."

"Shopkeeper!!" Before Bai Yi could say anything, Bai Quan started to shout from afar. He was running fast, as if something was urgent. Looking at Bai Quan like this, Bai Yi could guess that something was wrong, and he quickly caught the word Swallowing back the words, he greeted him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Quan was out of breath, and gasped for a few breaths before he said, "Shopkeeper, it's bad, the herbs in the medicine garden are frozen, I'm afraid they won't grow well."

When Bai Yi heard this, he became very anxious, threw the medicine box to Bai Quan and ran away. The medicine garden is the most important part of his family, and the whole medical center is maintained by these medicines. There is no cure.

Xuelian followed him closely, until he arrived at the medicine garden of Bai's family. Looking around, the garden was in a state of decline, most of the herbs had drooped their heads, and some of the herbs that were not resistant to cold had already withered. At the end of the medicine garden, no words can be spoken.

After a long time, Bai Yi finally spoke slowly, "...if it keeps getting cold like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to harvest even one."

Xue Lian's heart is also quite heavy. Could it be that his doom has something to do with people's sentiments?Is he coming to help with these problems?However, he doesn't know how to solve it.The snow lotus racked her brains and thought carefully about taking care of the flowers and plants in Tiangong, but after much deliberation, she found that Tiangong is good for the growth of flowers and plants at any time, regardless of the seasons. Now, it is mainly the climate, how can the temperature be suitable for the growth of medicinal materials? ?

There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in Xue Lian's mind, and he asked Bai Yi, "Shopkeeper, how long will it take for these medicinal materials to be harvested?"

"It's already October. If it's faster, it will be one month. If it's slower, it will wait until the end of the year."

Xuelian propped her chin, "How many herbs do you have?"

Bai Yi turned her head, "About three acres of land."

"Three acres... I have an idea, but it will cost a lot of money." Xuelian said, Bai Yi raised his chin to signal him to continue, Xuelian pointed to the medicine garden and said: "The three acres of land can be divided into several small areas. build a simple thatched hut, and then arrange people to take turns guarding it, and keep the fire burning in the house for a long time, so as to raise the temperature to reach a suitable temperature for the medicinal materials, I wonder if it is feasible?"

Bai Yi pondered, it is indeed feasible in theory, but he has never tried it, and building a thatched hut is also a big project, and it is necessary to arrange manpower, buy wood and charcoal, which consumes manpower and material resources. In the end, the medicinal materials harvested may not be as good as one-tenth of the investment. Although he still has some surplus money in his family, the investment is too big.But... medicinal materials are hard to come by. This winter, without these medicinal materials, the people in the town will have a hard time. He hangs the pot to help the world, and the doctors are benevolent, so how can they be burdened by money.

After Bai Yi figured it out, she turned around and walked back. Xue Lian called out from behind: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean?"

"Go back and prepare, start work tomorrow."
