Chapter 159 Evil Ghost Possession (2)
The medicine has a good effect, and the child has good recovery power. He has regained consciousness and is eating.
Xiao Zifu was holding a big bowl, without using chopsticks or spoons, he ate voraciously, his thin cheeks were stuffed, he ate very fiercely, choked on what he ate, staring round and round With big eyes, he swallowed hard.
Wu Jiu hurriedly fetched a glass of water and fed it to Xiao Zifu. After drinking the water, Xiao Zifu started to eat with the big bowl in his arms.
Wu Jiu was sitting on the side, watching Xiao Zifu eating, his appearance was very sad, Xiao Zifu ate quickly, gobbled it up, wiped his mouth with his thin hands, and then put the big bowl Gently put it aside, looked at Wu Jiu timidly.
The baby said in a childish voice: "Zer...Zer can work, and Zer can work."
Wu Jiu hugged him and put him on his lap, and Xiao Zifu sat upright. He was supposed to be a chubby little doll, but now he looked malnourished, and said, "Zi'er is very good. You are sick now, uncle doesn't need you to work."
Xiao Zifu raised his head and said timidly: "Then...then Susu, Susu will drive Zier away?"
Wu Jiu said: "Of course not. Zi'er takes good care of his illness and eats more to make uncle happier. Do you understand?"
Xiao Zifu opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face, and said, "More... a little more times? But, but not too many times."
Wu Jiao was almost amused by him, but felt very sad, hugged him and rubbed him lightly, said: "Good boy, go and rest, sleep for a while, are you tired?"
Xiao Zifu nodded obediently, and obediently lay on the couch, lying straight and covered with a small quilt, pinching the edge of the quilt with two small hands, looking at Wu Jiao with big black and white eyes, saying : "Susu, will Zi'er still see mother?"
Wu Jiu couldn't answer for a moment, sighed in a low voice, and said, "Wait until Zi'er grows up, okay?"
Xiao Zifu nodded obediently again. He has been undernourished all along. Now that he is full and has a fever, he is naturally sleepy. He yawns a little. Unable to hold on, she fell into a deep sleep, with a sleepy sound coming from Fendudu's mouth, saying: "Mother...Susu is a good person, Susu gave Zi'er a big bowl of rice...full, full of……"
The more Wu Jiu heard it, the more sad he felt, he sat on the side of the couch for a while, Qi Hou also sat on the side, patted Wu Jiu's shoulder, trying to comfort him.
They rushed all the way here, and now it's past dusk, Xiao Zifu ate something, and the others didn't eat anything, Qi Hou was afraid that Wu Jiu wouldn't be able to hold on, so he said, "Second brother, why don't you go eat something?"
While they were talking, Ziqing suddenly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Dr. Cao is back, and he said that he has set up a banquet and wants to welcome the Majesty."
Wu Jiu listened, take the wind?banquet?He couldn't help squinting his eyes and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet Dr. Cao for a while."
Wu Jiu left Tang Wu to take care of Xiao Zifu, and then led everyone to the front hall.
Cao's house is not big, it looks very simple, there is no such thing as a garden, but some flowers and plants were planted in the yard, which was also smashed at this time, and the front hall is not far away.
When Wu Jiu and his group walked over, they saw that the front hall was brightly lit and blankets were spread on the floor, and they immediately came out from the front hall.
The first one was a man who looked about 40 years old, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, a goatee beard, and sweat on his forehead. He ran out quickly, and the housekeeper followed behind, and there were several servants and maids behind him.
The leading man must be the magistrate Cao Xiao.
Cao Xiao rushed out to greet him, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your filial piety welcomes my king and Duke Qi."
Wu Jiu glanced at Cao Xiao and said, "You don't need to be polite, Doctor Cao, please get up."
Cao Xiao stood up, led Wu Jiu to go in, and said: "My king, please, my king has been running all the way, Xiao has already prepared a reception banquet for my king, please don't dislike me."
Wu Jiu followed Cao Xiao into the room, and saw all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas on the table. Although they were not very precious, compared to the famine and floods outside, they were extremely extravagant.
Wu Jiu looked at those extravagant delicacies, his eyes were a little gloomy, Cao Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My king, please sit down."
Immediately Cao Xiao waved his hand, and the butler immediately went to call for dancers and female wine, and some beautiful and luxuriously dressed women came in gracefully from outside.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jiu's face finally turned cold, and he smiled coldly, Cao Xiao was taken aback, serving at the side.
Wu Jiao said calmly: "Doctor Cao, outside the floods and famines, the people have nothing to eat, starved to death on the street, but you use these extravagant things to feed the widows, what do you mean?"
As soon as his words came out, Cao Xiao and the housekeeper were stunned, and they knelt on the ground to apologize, kowtowed and said: "The villain is guilty! The villain is guilty!"
Wu Jiao smiled coldly, and said, "I don't know you when I see you, come here!"
As he said, Yan Jiu hurried up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty."
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Remove all the food and distribute it to the refugees outside."
Cao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of regret. Yanjiu was not polite at all, and immediately let people in, removed all these delicacies from mountains and seas, and ordered them to be distributed to the refugees.
Wu Jiu stood up and said, "Doctor Cao, the refugees outside the gate are suffering. As a magistrate, Doctor Cao should know what to do?"
Cao Xiao quickly kowtowed and said, "Yes... yes, the villain knows."
Wu Jiu said: "It's good to know, if you know, don't engage in such flashy things next time."
As he said, he couldn't lift it up, so he passed Cao Xiao and walked out, Qihou also got up, followed behind, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, don't be angry, your body will be ruined by anger."
Wu Jiu went all the way back to the house, walked in, sat down, and finally calmed down a bit. After all, Wu Jiu had seen too much today. Knowing that the school he ordered to build was a rough shed, and that the rain killed many children, there is no reason not to be angry, and seeing the delicacies Cao Xiao prepared, his anger immediately seemed to add fuel to the fire. It burns instantly.
Wu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Hou said: "The most urgent thing now is to find out the school's affairs. I don't know what went wrong, so that people can take advantage of the opportunity and embezzle the money for the construction of the school."
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Zhao Bai hasn't come back yet, let's talk about it when he comes back."
While the two were talking, Ziqing came in and said, "Your Majesty, the steward has come to deliver dinner for your Majesty and Duke Qi."
Wu Jiu didn't want to eat at first, but Qi Hou insisted that the housekeeper come in, because Wu Jiu hadn't eaten much for a day, and Qi Hou was afraid that he would get angry and starve to death.
The butler quickly walked in, holding the meal in his hand, which would be quite simple. There was a bronze plate holding two large bowls, which were similar to rice bowls.
The butler first put the meal on the table, then knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Qi, please be kind, my lord, I didn't mean to offend the King and Duke Qi."
Wu Jiao glanced at the butler indifferently, and the butler quickly said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Cao is a good official. You have also seen that there are so many people in this mansion, but the yard is only so small, because His Excellency has no There is no money for expansion. These days, since the flood started, adults are the first to go to the hardest hit areas. They leave every morning before dawn and never come back after dark. I sent my servants to look for your lord, but your lord is still organizing disaster relief in the disaster area!"
Wu Jiu listened to what the steward said, and seemed to believe it, but the steward continued: "Everything that the villain said is true, I really dare not lie to deceive the king and Duke Qi. Your family is poor, and everyone in the mansion I know everything, if my king doesn't believe it, I can send someone to ask, and I will know that my lord doesn't have any money, but I just heard that the king is going to come to the disaster area in person, so I gritted my teeth and took all the food and salary for the whole year. Come out, go change the fish, and prepare this feast for the king, I really don't intend to waste money, please invite me, Wang Mingjian."
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Since your lords have no money, why do you still do this?"
The steward murmured for a while, then said in a low voice: "Because... because of the severe floods here, and because your lord has never seen any big battles and don't know how to deal with them. You have to eat a hundred delicious dishes for a meal, so... Your Excellency panicked and neglected the king and Duke Qi."
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Wu Jiu thought about the layout of the house. It was indeed quite simple, and the house was not too luxurious, which was indeed far from the banquet. It will be thoroughly investigated."
"Yes Yes."
The housekeeper hurriedly got up, delivered dinner, and went out quickly.
The sky was already gloomy, but it didn't rain anymore. After the sky was completely dark, Young Master Bai and Wu Dao could be regarded as returning from the outside.
Young Master Bai hurriedly came to report and said, "Your Majesty, Bai has heard a lot about the school."
Young master Bai has gained a lot from this trip, and learned a lot about the school, because it is a small place where birds don't lay eggs, and it is very poor, so he suddenly set up a rural school here, and it became very famous in no time.
Because Wu Jiao set up a lot of school subsidies in it, so once the school was established, many people flocked to send their children, especially girls, why?Because of food.
People in this era don't like girls. Although the concept of patriarchy is not well established, girls are not physically strong enough to work at all. They weave at most and can't share housework. Therefore, ordinary people still like to have boys and give birth to girls. I feel like I'm in a panic when I come here.
The school recruits students, and there is no limit to men and women, so many people send their daughters to the school, although the purpose is not to study, but to save food for the family.
However, the school soon became full, and there were a lot of students.
It's just that I don't know which floor started to get corrupted, but the money allocated to build the school was very little, and in the end only a tofu scum shack could be built.
The woolen shed swayed in the wind, and it leaked when it rained. In the last few heavy rains, the whole thing collapsed, crushing the children a lot, and it was far more than that...
Young Master Bai said: "Your Majesty, Bai also found out that this school, because there is no money to operate, the lunch for the children turned out to be rotten swill, and the children couldn't get enough to eat."
When Wu Jiao heard this, the anger that had been suppressed with great difficulty rushed up again. It turned out to be rotten food, and it was swill.
Wu Jiu said, "Who handles the affairs of the school, can you find out?"
Young master Bai cupped his hands and said: "The last step is this doctor Cao Xiao, but there are many people who have handled it before, and we haven't found out yet."
Wu Jiao said in a cold voice: "Investigate! This matter must be investigated thoroughly. This school is like this, and the school next to Baobuqi is not like this. You must investigate to the end and drag out these moths by the roots!"
"Yes!"
Young Master Bai hurriedly cupped his hands, Qihou frowned and said, "Second brother, it's better not to say anything about this matter. Second brother has already come from Yingdu, and the corrupt doctors must have been prepared. If they openly investigate, it will definitely cause trouble." Their panic may erase the evidence."
Wu Jiu nodded, and Qi Hou said: "Zhao Qing, you should investigate secretly first, and follow Cao Xiao, who was the last one to deal with, to investigate layer by layer."
Young Master Bai said, "Yes, Bai understands."
After the young master Bai and Wu Dao reported it, they would continue to picket the matter and left soon.
Seeing that Wu Jiao's face was red with anger and his neck was thick, Qihou quickly said, "Second brother, seeing that you are angry, drink a glass of water."
Wu Jiu took a sip of water, feeling like he was about to spit fire, and said, "These corrupt officials are simply devoid of humanity."
Qihou said: "Let's have dinner first, and take an early rest after eating. Tomorrow we have to go to the hardest-hit area to investigate and investigate. Second brother, don't tire yourself out."
Although Wu Jiu was angry, he hadn't found out yet, so he had nothing to do, so he nodded.
The butler brought the dinner, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were ready to eat the dinner, when Qi Hou saw the dinner, he was not interested at all, the meat was pitiful, and naturally, there was no vegetables, which are more important than meat these days It is precious, and in addition to the flood, it has been washed away long ago, so there is only a lot of rice, which is still brown rice.
Seeing Qi Hou's bitter face, Wu Jiu said, "I told you I wouldn't let you follow me, now I'm going to suffer."
Qi Hou immediately said: "Second brother, Gu is not afraid of suffering. Although Gu was born in a noble family, he never enjoyed the treatment of a nobleman when he was a child. Gu is not afraid of suffering, but he is afraid that his second brother will not be by Gu's side."
Wu Jiao was indeed moved when he heard it, but he was able to say love words after eating bran and swallowing vegetables, which made Wu Jiao feel very embarrassed.
The two had a hasty dinner, and just about to take a rest, they heard the sound of "bang bang bang" and Wu Tang's voice came, saying, "Your Majesty, Duke Qi!"
Wu Jiu got up quickly, Qi Hou approved his clothes and went to open the door, Tang Wu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, Zifu is gone."
Wu Jiu was taken aback, Tang Wu said that Xiao Zifu was still in the house just now, and went to bed after dinner, and he has been doing well, just now Tang Wu was going to pour a pot of hot water and come back, just for such a short period of time , Looking back, Xiao Zifu didn't know where he went, the couch was empty, the quilt was lifted, but there was no one there!
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou quickly put on their clothes and prepared to go out to find Xiao Zifu. The sky was very dark and gloomy, and they didn't know when it would rain heavily. Xiao Zifu was still having a fever and he was not well. where to go.
Xiao Zifu was like a little bean bag slipping out of the ground. He woke up and felt better. There was no one in the house, and there was a gap in the door. Xiao Zifu was a little curious and got up from the bed. Climb down, and ran out the door in a hurry.
The outside environment is very strange. To the mansion, it looks very simple, but to Xiao Zifu, it is like heaven and earth. There are small flowers in the grass that have not been smashed by the rain.
Xiao Zifu ran over curiously, knelt down and smelled the little flower, and there was a little flower beside him that was knocked down, Xiao Zifu stretched out his thin little hand, helped the little flower up, and said in a low voice: " What's wrong with you, Fafa? Are you tired?"
Xiao Zifu was playing with Xiao Huahua. At this time, he heard someone talking, the voice was very small, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Xiao Zifu stood up and walked forward curiously following the sound.
Walking out of the yard, I came to a side room, a very remote place, next to the place where firewood and sundries were piled up, there was a house with the door open, and a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old was sitting in front of the house On the steps, a man was talking to himself.
The young man was slender and had a very delicate appearance, he looked like a delicate doll, but his face was pale, illuminated by the dim moonlight, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, with a look of inadequacy.
Xiao Zifu walked over and saw the young man talking to himself, biting his finger curiously, and said, "Guokuo, what are you doing?"
The boy raised his head and looked at Xiao Zifu. His eyelashes were very long. When he raised his head, his big eyes blinked, revealing agility, and that fragile and suffocating morbid beauty. He smiled softly , Said: "Tell a story, do you want to listen?"
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou heard that Zifu was missing, so they hurriedly sent someone to look for them, and they went out to look for them themselves, but after searching for a long time, they suddenly heard the sound of someone talking, and the sound of "giggling", which seemed to be the sound of a little boy. Sent by Zifu.
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou hurried forward. When they walked out of the courtyard, they saw a place similar to a firewood house. The door of a house was opened, and Xiao Zifu was sitting in the arms of a young man. The young boy was holding Xiao Zifu. Fu, sitting on the steps, two people are talking, smiling and don't know what they are talking about.
Seeing that Xiao Zifu was fine, Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Zi'er."
As soon as Xiao Zi heard this, he immediately raised his head and said cheerfully: "It's Susu, Guoguo, Susu is here!"
The young man also raised his head, and everyone was a little surprised for a moment, because the young man's appearance was too beautiful and delicate, like a doll, with a slender figure, a morbid paleness on his face, and light pink lips.
Not only that, not only the young man's exquisite face surprised everyone, but also an iron chain was locked on the young man's ankle, which was hung on the door, restricting the young man's movements.
Wu Jiao was taken aback for a moment, Xiao Zifu had jumped over happily, threw himself into Wu Jiao's arms, pointed at the young man and said, "Susu, Guoguo will tell Zi'er a story, Guoguo knows a lot of stubborn things, Guoguo Amazing."
Wu Jiu pointed along Xiao Zifu and looked at the young man. The young man seemed a little timid, and slowly stood up. Once he stood up, the chains on his ankles became more obvious. The young man shrank back and stretched out his hand. Grab the door frame and want to retract into the door.
The servants of the house also heard that the little boy picked up by the king was missing, and they all went out to look for it. Cao Xiao was also alarmed. , Xiaowan died and offended the king."
Wu Jiao frowned and looked at the locked boy, "Who is this?"
Cao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "This... this is a dog."
Wu Jiu was a little surprised, but Qi Hou said, "Who would lock up his son?"
Xiao Zifu didn't pay attention to that just now, and didn't know what the chains were for. At this moment, he bit his fingers and looked down at the black chains on the boy's ankle.
The chain was too big for the young man, very cumbersome, and it was locked on his slender ankle.
Cao Xiao quickly said: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, this...it's true. The child's name is Sun Su, but...he was born with a disease, and it hasn't improved. The disease is very painful, and he can't even breathe. Five years ago, a witch doctor passed by here, and Xiao used his savings to ask the witch doctor to come and see him. The witch doctor actually said... that the child is possessed by an evil spirit and cannot see people. If he sees outsiders, he will probably... Involving outsiders, so filial piety is a last resort... a last resort."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu seemed to have grasped the point, and said in surprise, "Five years ago?"
In other words, this child has been imprisoned here for five years?No wonder the skin is so white, it looks like it has been out of the sun all year round, because it has not been exposed to the sun, so it has become like this.
And the key point Qihou caught was that this delicate and beautiful young man was surnamed Cao, and his name was Sun Su!
Hearing the words Cao Sunsu, Qi Hou was stunned, and then he took a closer look at the young man's face. Although the moonlight was very dim, and it was still cloudy, and there were no lights around, but when he looked carefully, it was really a bit strange. Appearance shadow.
Cao Sunsu is a famous person in Qi State, but he is not from Qi State, but during the heyday of Duke Huan of Qi, about ten or twenty years later, he emerged in Qi State. At that time, Guan Zhong once said that Bao Shuya was upright, and Bin Xu was kind Ning Qi is a man of talent, while Cao Sunsu has great eloquence. If Duke Huan of Qi can get one of these four people, he can dominate the world, and Duke Huan of Qi got four of them at once.
Guan Zhong spoke very highly of Cao Sunsu, and Cao Sunsu himself was indeed very talented.
Qihou didn't expect that Cao Sunsu was in such a small place. Before he entered Qi, he was still a native of Chu.
Both Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were shocked, although the content of the shock was different, Cao Xiao also looked embarrassed.
Cao Sunsu hid behind the door panel and looked at them timidly, as if he had never seen so many strangers at once, but his eyes were curious and longing. He suddenly raised his hand, covered his mouth with his thin fingers, and said softly Coughing, coughing and panting.
When Cao Xiao saw it, he quickly said to his servants: "Quickly, please come in, young master, and don't offend the king and Duke Qi."
The servant was about to rush over, Cao Sunsu shrank his neck and took two steps back, at this moment Wu Jiu said, "Stop."
Those servants stopped quickly, Wu Jiu said: "The witch doctor is obviously scaremongering, cheating you of money, there is no such thing as evil spirit possession."
He said, waved Tang Wu over, and said, "Tang'er, go and show him."
When Cao Xiao heard this, he quickly knelt down to thank him. Tang Wu was a famous doctor, and he followed Wu Jiu. He was naturally skilled in medicine. There had never been such a doctor in their small place. Either they were witch doctors, or they were just some doctors. Physicians who wander around can't see serious doctors all year round. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, doctors have been assessed, and the scale is quite formal. However, medical treatment is still a luxury in poor places.
Tang Wu hurried into the house, but he didn't know that Cao Sunsu was very afraid of people, so he quickly hid back, the chain made a "cracking" sound, Tang Wu was taller than him, and he looked even taller than Cao Sun Su was even stronger, which showed how thin that young man was, full of a pathological paleness and fragility.
Tang Wu hurriedly said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor."
Wu Jiu held Xiao Zifu in his arms, and Xiao Zifu slipped out of his arms, ran into the house, raised his head and said: "Guopuo, Tangwu Guoguo is a good person, Guoguo, let Tangwu Guoguo give you Take a look."
Cao Sunsu was still a little scared, but he didn't hide anymore, because Wu Jiao was afraid that he would panic, so he didn't let everyone in. Wu Jiao and Qihou went in to see the situation.
The house is very simple, with almost nothing. Cao Sunsu's chain is enough to walk around the room, but he cannot walk out of the steps at the door of the house.
Tang Wu sat down, took Cao Sunsu's pulse, looked at his face, and did some more checks.
Wu Jiu heard that he was coughing frequently, it seemed that someone was present, so Cao Sunsu didn't dare to cough hard, he was still panting, there was phlegm in his throat, but his strength was too weak to cough it up no matter what.
Tang Wu frowned, looking quite serious, Wu Jiu said, "What's the specific situation?"
Tang Wu said: "Your Majesty, this is a disease of panting and drinking."
Asthma is wheezing and coughing, and drinking is not drinking water, but choking and hoarseness. To put it bluntly, the syndrome of wheezing and drinking is actually asthma.
In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, wheezing and wheezing were defined as asthma. triggers can trigger asthma.
In modern times, asthma is a disease that cannot be cured, let alone in ancient times. In ancient times, asthma was a terminal disease. After all, there were too many incentives, and the medical level at that time basically could not be rescued. An acute attack could only wait for death.
And because of what the witch doctor said, Cao Xiao took it seriously, so he locked Cao Sunsu in the room and didn't let him go out. After a long time like this, Cao Sunsu had lost his basic resistance and physical fitness. It will also get worse, and the incidence of asthma will be higher, and after the onset, it is not easy to rescue. If you want to save Cao Sunsu's life, you must do a good job in the basics. The injury of the season, the wind and cold of the season", these small unspoken things, others just have a headache, but they can kill Cao Sunsu.
Hearing what Tang Wu said, Wu Jiu also knew that asthma was terrible in ancient times, and it was a disease of the rich, so he must be pampered in the future.
When Qihou heard this, he immediately frowned. Cao Sunsu is a man of great talent, and said, "Is there any way to take care of him?"
Tang Wu said: "Back to Duke Qi, recuperation is possible, but it takes a long time, and the medicines are expensive, and we must avoid offenders of the seven emotions, especially not to be overjoyed and sad."
When he said this, Qihou immediately said: "No matter how expensive the medicine is, it must be used."
As he said this, Wu Jiu gave Qihou a strange look. It must be the first time that Qihou saw Cao Sunsu, but he seemed to be very concerned, and I don't know why.
In the final analysis, Wu Jiu was actually a science student in his previous life, and most of the history he read was learned from textbooks, or he read it when he was studying management. In addition, there are really too many talents in Qi, and they are all Guan Yiwu and Bao Shuya. Therefore, people like Cao Sunsu are not well known.
Wu Jiu didn't know that Cao Sunsu was one of the main heroes who later assisted Duke Huan of Qi to ascend to the overlord position, nor did he know that Marquis Qi was a person who lived his whole life, so he was naturally very surprised by Marquis Qi's attitude.
Qihou also seemed to have noticed his gaffe, coughed quickly, and quickly changed the subject. At this time, Cao Xiao just came back to thank him, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Cao Xiao seems to love his son quite a bit, but there is no doctor in this small place, so when the witch doctor said that Cao Sunsu was possessed by an evil spirit, everyone was frightened, and people near and far heard about it. So Cao Xiao didn't dare to let his son go out, and now he can be treated by the doctor in the palace, Cao Xiao is naturally very grateful.
Wu Jiu said, "You don't need to thank me. Quickly unchain your son's feet."
Cao Xiao quickly ordered someone to get the key, and immediately opened the chain on Cao Sunsu's ankle. Cao Sunsu looked at his ankle in surprise. He usually dragged a heavy lock, but now there was no lock. He was almost overjoyed, with a smile on his face, and he was a little embarrassed, and in addition to his young age, he looked very cute and shy.
Wu Jiu prescribed medicine for Cao Sunsu, take a few pills first, and adjust the prescription after seeing the effect, because it was late, Xiao Zifu ran out to play for a while, still feeling a bit cold, and soon fell asleep from sleepiness.
Wu Jiu hugged Xiao Zifu and prepared to go back, and asked Cao Xiao to arrange a house for Cao Sunsu instead of living in the firewood house. Now that he has figured out that Cao Sunsu is not possessed by some evil spirit, he can return to the courtyard live in.
Qi Hou was afraid that Wu Jiu would be too tired holding Xiao Zifu, so he quickly picked up Xiao Zifu, Xiao Zifu slept soundly, and Qi Hou had already had a few times of experience in holding children before, so there was still some time to hold him appearance.
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou first sent Xiao Zifu to rest in the house, Cao Xiao came to kneel and thank him again, Wu Jiu said flatly: "There is no need to thank, Doctor Cao, make preparations, and start to give up meals tomorrow morning."
"Yes! Yes! Xiao will prepare immediately!"
Cao Xiao soon left, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were going to bed, now that they came back from a trip, Wu Jiu was also sleepy, ready to go to bed, but remembering Qi Hou's attitude just now, he looked at Qi again suspiciously. Hou.
Qihou felt a little nervous when he looked at him, he slapped him haha, and said, "Second brother, take a rest."
Wu Jiao glanced at Marquis Qi again, but said nothing, and the two fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, the sun came out. Cao’s house was ready to give up meals early in the morning. The cooks made a lot of big pots of rice, put them in huge bronze utensils, and pushed them to the door of Cao’s house, ready to serve them. Refugees give up food.
Wu Jiu also woke up early in the morning. He was afraid that the refugees would loot the food for the first time, so he asked Yanjiu to dispatch a team to maintain the order of the food.
After Wu Jiu washed up, he went to see Xiao Zifu first. Xiao Zifu was still sleeping. He had had enough trouble last night and had a fever. He had never had a warm place to live. Now that he fell asleep, he slept very soundly. Wu Jiu didn't wake up Xiao Zifu, let him continue to sleep, and quickly backed out.
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou planned to go to the house in the morning and visit the hardest-hit area in the afternoon. On the one hand, they would dredge the flood, and on the other hand, they asked Qu Zhong to study how to rebuild after the disaster.
Wu Jiu and Qihou soon came to the gate of Cao Mansion. As soon as they came out, they saw a long queue of refugees lined up at the gate of Cao Mansion. It just rained heavily yesterday, and the refugees had nowhere to find food. Said that Cao's mansion gave up food, and immediately all flocked over.
When Wu Jiu and Qi Hou came over, what they saw was still an orderly scene. It took Yanjiu a long time to get the refugees to line up, otherwise it would be chaos. Refugees cannot be stopped.
When Wu Jiu walked over, he heard loud noises. An officer and soldier of the Cao Mansion pushed and pushed a tall young man. The young man was wearing a linen robe and looked very poor, but his clothes were very clean.
Because I was far away, I couldn't see the young man's face clearly, so I heard the officers and soldiers of Cao's mansion say that he was going to be driven away. Many refugees nearby looked at him, but no one spoke, and they watched with numb eyes.
Wu Jiu frowned, walked over quickly, and said, "What's going on?"
The King of Chu arrived at the Cao Mansion yesterday, and everyone in the Cao Mansion knew about it. As soon as the officers and soldiers of the Cao Mansion saw Wu Jiu, they immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Report to the King, this troublemaker pretends to be Refugees, come here repeatedly to beg for food, if the villain remembers correctly, this troublemaker has come here four or five times."
Hearing what the officers and soldiers said, the young man immediately said, "Jiao Ao is not a villain."
As he spoke, he arched his hands and saluted Wu Jiu politely.
Wu Jiu couldn't help but look at this young man. He was in his twenties, about 25 or [-] years old. He looked like a literati, but he was tall, with broad shoulders and back. He was hidden under the linen robe, although he was wearing simple , but the appearance is meticulous, and the salute is also methodical.
The young man said, "Tell Ao to pay respects to my king, Duke Qi."
Wu Jiu didn't know this young man, but he could tell that this young man spoke and acted politely, and he was not impatient. He seemed to have seen the world, and he looked very good.
After seeing it, Marquis Qi felt that it was a worthwhile trip to follow Wu Jiu to help the disaster, because Marquis Qi also knew this well-mannered young man in front of him. Naturally, he had known him in his previous life...
The man's surname was reverted to Prince, and his name was Gao Ao. He was a well-known celebrity in Qi State and one of the scholar-bureaucrats who assisted Duke Huan of Qi during his heyday.
But now the prince Gao Ao is dressed so poorly, and he is still queuing up in Xiaoyi waiting for his meal.
The officer and soldier immediately said: "You scumbag still want to quibble, you are tall and big, you don't go to rescue, but you line up here four or five times to eat free rice, what do you eat the refugees next to you?!"
The prince told Ao that he was not in a hurry, and said: "The grain that Gao Ao took was not for himself. There is a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city, and there are more than a dozen children who suffered from disasters in the school there. I want to feed those kids."
When he said that, the officers and soldiers still didn't believe him, and they were sure that the prince told Ao that he wanted to eat more and occupy more. At this moment, he suddenly heard a very weak voice saying: "Is it the master?"
When he said this, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked inside the gate of the Cao Mansion. They saw a young man standing behind the gate with some fear. It was Cao Sunsu, the young master of the Cao Mansion.
Tang Wu still followed Cao Sunsu. Cao Sunsu's physical fitness was too poor. According to Tang Wu, he was one step worse than Wu Jiu. In addition to taking medicine, he also needed to exercise to improve his physical fitness. In the morning, Tang Wu helped Cao Sunsu to go around twice, starting with the simplest walk.
When the two turned to the gate of Cao's mansion, they heard the sound of arguing outside. Cao Sunsu took a look outside and saw the prince suing Ao.
Cao Sunsu's voice was not loud, and he was a little timid. Seeing everyone looking at him, he shrank his neck. Although he was a little scared, he still said: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, the master of the prince is the master of the school. Liar, I taught Sun Su to read before."
About five years ago, Cao Sunsu was not imprisoned in the mansion. At that time, Cao Sunsu happened to be at school age. Generally, rich people would invite private tutors to teach. Cao Sunsu was very studious, so Cao Xiao invited the master to teach him. He can read and write.
Cao Sunsu is really smart and learns quickly. The prince Gao Ao was very impressed with this student, and once praised Cao Sunsu, saying that he is his most proud student.
It's just that Cao Sunsu only studied with the prince Gao Ao for less than half a year, when the witch doctor came, and Cao Sunsu was locked in the firewood room, so naturally he gave up on studying.
The prince told Ao that he had always been a private teacher, and later he heard that the king of Chu wanted to help him.
Xiao Zifu was holding a big bowl, without using chopsticks or spoons, he ate voraciously, his thin cheeks were stuffed, he ate very fiercely, choked on what he ate, staring round and round With big eyes, he swallowed hard.
Wu Jiu hurriedly fetched a glass of water and fed it to Xiao Zifu. After drinking the water, Xiao Zifu started to eat with the big bowl in his arms.
Wu Jiu was sitting on the side, watching Xiao Zifu eating, his appearance was very sad, Xiao Zifu ate quickly, gobbled it up, wiped his mouth with his thin hands, and then put the big bowl Gently put it aside, looked at Wu Jiu timidly.
The baby said in a childish voice: "Zer...Zer can work, and Zer can work."
Wu Jiu hugged him and put him on his lap, and Xiao Zifu sat upright. He was supposed to be a chubby little doll, but now he looked malnourished, and said, "Zi'er is very good. You are sick now, uncle doesn't need you to work."
Xiao Zifu raised his head and said timidly: "Then...then Susu, Susu will drive Zier away?"
Wu Jiu said: "Of course not. Zi'er takes good care of his illness and eats more to make uncle happier. Do you understand?"
Xiao Zifu opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face, and said, "More... a little more times? But, but not too many times."
Wu Jiao was almost amused by him, but felt very sad, hugged him and rubbed him lightly, said: "Good boy, go and rest, sleep for a while, are you tired?"
Xiao Zifu nodded obediently, and obediently lay on the couch, lying straight and covered with a small quilt, pinching the edge of the quilt with two small hands, looking at Wu Jiao with big black and white eyes, saying : "Susu, will Zi'er still see mother?"
Wu Jiu couldn't answer for a moment, sighed in a low voice, and said, "Wait until Zi'er grows up, okay?"
Xiao Zifu nodded obediently again. He has been undernourished all along. Now that he is full and has a fever, he is naturally sleepy. He yawns a little. Unable to hold on, she fell into a deep sleep, with a sleepy sound coming from Fendudu's mouth, saying: "Mother...Susu is a good person, Susu gave Zi'er a big bowl of rice...full, full of……"
The more Wu Jiu heard it, the more sad he felt, he sat on the side of the couch for a while, Qi Hou also sat on the side, patted Wu Jiu's shoulder, trying to comfort him.
They rushed all the way here, and now it's past dusk, Xiao Zifu ate something, and the others didn't eat anything, Qi Hou was afraid that Wu Jiu wouldn't be able to hold on, so he said, "Second brother, why don't you go eat something?"
While they were talking, Ziqing suddenly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Dr. Cao is back, and he said that he has set up a banquet and wants to welcome the Majesty."
Wu Jiu listened, take the wind?banquet?He couldn't help squinting his eyes and said, "Let's go, follow me to meet Dr. Cao for a while."
Wu Jiu left Tang Wu to take care of Xiao Zifu, and then led everyone to the front hall.
Cao's house is not big, it looks very simple, there is no such thing as a garden, but some flowers and plants were planted in the yard, which was also smashed at this time, and the front hall is not far away.
When Wu Jiu and his group walked over, they saw that the front hall was brightly lit and blankets were spread on the floor, and they immediately came out from the front hall.
The first one was a man who looked about 40 years old, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, a goatee beard, and sweat on his forehead. He ran out quickly, and the housekeeper followed behind, and there were several servants and maids behind him.
The leading man must be the magistrate Cao Xiao.
Cao Xiao rushed out to greet him, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your filial piety welcomes my king and Duke Qi."
Wu Jiu glanced at Cao Xiao and said, "You don't need to be polite, Doctor Cao, please get up."
Cao Xiao stood up, led Wu Jiu to go in, and said: "My king, please, my king has been running all the way, Xiao has already prepared a reception banquet for my king, please don't dislike me."
Wu Jiu followed Cao Xiao into the room, and saw all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas on the table. Although they were not very precious, compared to the famine and floods outside, they were extremely extravagant.
Wu Jiu looked at those extravagant delicacies, his eyes were a little gloomy, Cao Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My king, please sit down."
Immediately Cao Xiao waved his hand, and the butler immediately went to call for dancers and female wine, and some beautiful and luxuriously dressed women came in gracefully from outside.
Seeing this scene, Wu Jiu's face finally turned cold, and he smiled coldly, Cao Xiao was taken aback, serving at the side.
Wu Jiao said calmly: "Doctor Cao, outside the floods and famines, the people have nothing to eat, starved to death on the street, but you use these extravagant things to feed the widows, what do you mean?"
As soon as his words came out, Cao Xiao and the housekeeper were stunned, and they knelt on the ground to apologize, kowtowed and said: "The villain is guilty! The villain is guilty!"
Wu Jiao smiled coldly, and said, "I don't know you when I see you, come here!"
As he said, Yan Jiu hurried up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty."
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Remove all the food and distribute it to the refugees outside."
Cao Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of regret. Yanjiu was not polite at all, and immediately let people in, removed all these delicacies from mountains and seas, and ordered them to be distributed to the refugees.
Wu Jiu stood up and said, "Doctor Cao, the refugees outside the gate are suffering. As a magistrate, Doctor Cao should know what to do?"
Cao Xiao quickly kowtowed and said, "Yes... yes, the villain knows."
Wu Jiu said: "It's good to know, if you know, don't engage in such flashy things next time."
As he said, he couldn't lift it up, so he passed Cao Xiao and walked out, Qihou also got up, followed behind, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, don't be angry, your body will be ruined by anger."
Wu Jiu went all the way back to the house, walked in, sat down, and finally calmed down a bit. After all, Wu Jiu had seen too much today. Knowing that the school he ordered to build was a rough shed, and that the rain killed many children, there is no reason not to be angry, and seeing the delicacies Cao Xiao prepared, his anger immediately seemed to add fuel to the fire. It burns instantly.
Wu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Qi Hou said: "The most urgent thing now is to find out the school's affairs. I don't know what went wrong, so that people can take advantage of the opportunity and embezzle the money for the construction of the school."
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Zhao Bai hasn't come back yet, let's talk about it when he comes back."
While the two were talking, Ziqing came in and said, "Your Majesty, the steward has come to deliver dinner for your Majesty and Duke Qi."
Wu Jiu didn't want to eat at first, but Qi Hou insisted that the housekeeper come in, because Wu Jiu hadn't eaten much for a day, and Qi Hou was afraid that he would get angry and starve to death.
The butler quickly walked in, holding the meal in his hand, which would be quite simple. There was a bronze plate holding two large bowls, which were similar to rice bowls.
The butler first put the meal on the table, then knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Qi, please be kind, my lord, I didn't mean to offend the King and Duke Qi."
Wu Jiao glanced at the butler indifferently, and the butler quickly said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Cao is a good official. You have also seen that there are so many people in this mansion, but the yard is only so small, because His Excellency has no There is no money for expansion. These days, since the flood started, adults are the first to go to the hardest hit areas. They leave every morning before dawn and never come back after dark. I sent my servants to look for your lord, but your lord is still organizing disaster relief in the disaster area!"
Wu Jiu listened to what the steward said, and seemed to believe it, but the steward continued: "Everything that the villain said is true, I really dare not lie to deceive the king and Duke Qi. Your family is poor, and everyone in the mansion I know everything, if my king doesn't believe it, I can send someone to ask, and I will know that my lord doesn't have any money, but I just heard that the king is going to come to the disaster area in person, so I gritted my teeth and took all the food and salary for the whole year. Come out, go change the fish, and prepare this feast for the king, I really don't intend to waste money, please invite me, Wang Mingjian."
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Since your lords have no money, why do you still do this?"
The steward murmured for a while, then said in a low voice: "Because... because of the severe floods here, and because your lord has never seen any big battles and don't know how to deal with them. You have to eat a hundred delicious dishes for a meal, so... Your Excellency panicked and neglected the king and Duke Qi."
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Wu Jiu thought about the layout of the house. It was indeed quite simple, and the house was not too luxurious, which was indeed far from the banquet. It will be thoroughly investigated."
"Yes Yes."
The housekeeper hurriedly got up, delivered dinner, and went out quickly.
The sky was already gloomy, but it didn't rain anymore. After the sky was completely dark, Young Master Bai and Wu Dao could be regarded as returning from the outside.
Young Master Bai hurriedly came to report and said, "Your Majesty, Bai has heard a lot about the school."
Young master Bai has gained a lot from this trip, and learned a lot about the school, because it is a small place where birds don't lay eggs, and it is very poor, so he suddenly set up a rural school here, and it became very famous in no time.
Because Wu Jiao set up a lot of school subsidies in it, so once the school was established, many people flocked to send their children, especially girls, why?Because of food.
People in this era don't like girls. Although the concept of patriarchy is not well established, girls are not physically strong enough to work at all. They weave at most and can't share housework. Therefore, ordinary people still like to have boys and give birth to girls. I feel like I'm in a panic when I come here.
The school recruits students, and there is no limit to men and women, so many people send their daughters to the school, although the purpose is not to study, but to save food for the family.
However, the school soon became full, and there were a lot of students.
It's just that I don't know which floor started to get corrupted, but the money allocated to build the school was very little, and in the end only a tofu scum shack could be built.
The woolen shed swayed in the wind, and it leaked when it rained. In the last few heavy rains, the whole thing collapsed, crushing the children a lot, and it was far more than that...
Young Master Bai said: "Your Majesty, Bai also found out that this school, because there is no money to operate, the lunch for the children turned out to be rotten swill, and the children couldn't get enough to eat."
When Wu Jiao heard this, the anger that had been suppressed with great difficulty rushed up again. It turned out to be rotten food, and it was swill.
Wu Jiu said, "Who handles the affairs of the school, can you find out?"
Young master Bai cupped his hands and said: "The last step is this doctor Cao Xiao, but there are many people who have handled it before, and we haven't found out yet."
Wu Jiao said in a cold voice: "Investigate! This matter must be investigated thoroughly. This school is like this, and the school next to Baobuqi is not like this. You must investigate to the end and drag out these moths by the roots!"
"Yes!"
Young Master Bai hurriedly cupped his hands, Qihou frowned and said, "Second brother, it's better not to say anything about this matter. Second brother has already come from Yingdu, and the corrupt doctors must have been prepared. If they openly investigate, it will definitely cause trouble." Their panic may erase the evidence."
Wu Jiu nodded, and Qi Hou said: "Zhao Qing, you should investigate secretly first, and follow Cao Xiao, who was the last one to deal with, to investigate layer by layer."
Young Master Bai said, "Yes, Bai understands."
After the young master Bai and Wu Dao reported it, they would continue to picket the matter and left soon.
Seeing that Wu Jiao's face was red with anger and his neck was thick, Qihou quickly said, "Second brother, seeing that you are angry, drink a glass of water."
Wu Jiu took a sip of water, feeling like he was about to spit fire, and said, "These corrupt officials are simply devoid of humanity."
Qihou said: "Let's have dinner first, and take an early rest after eating. Tomorrow we have to go to the hardest-hit area to investigate and investigate. Second brother, don't tire yourself out."
Although Wu Jiu was angry, he hadn't found out yet, so he had nothing to do, so he nodded.
The butler brought the dinner, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were ready to eat the dinner, when Qi Hou saw the dinner, he was not interested at all, the meat was pitiful, and naturally, there was no vegetables, which are more important than meat these days It is precious, and in addition to the flood, it has been washed away long ago, so there is only a lot of rice, which is still brown rice.
Seeing Qi Hou's bitter face, Wu Jiu said, "I told you I wouldn't let you follow me, now I'm going to suffer."
Qi Hou immediately said: "Second brother, Gu is not afraid of suffering. Although Gu was born in a noble family, he never enjoyed the treatment of a nobleman when he was a child. Gu is not afraid of suffering, but he is afraid that his second brother will not be by Gu's side."
Wu Jiao was indeed moved when he heard it, but he was able to say love words after eating bran and swallowing vegetables, which made Wu Jiao feel very embarrassed.
The two had a hasty dinner, and just about to take a rest, they heard the sound of "bang bang bang" and Wu Tang's voice came, saying, "Your Majesty, Duke Qi!"
Wu Jiu got up quickly, Qi Hou approved his clothes and went to open the door, Tang Wu said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, Zifu is gone."
Wu Jiu was taken aback, Tang Wu said that Xiao Zifu was still in the house just now, and went to bed after dinner, and he has been doing well, just now Tang Wu was going to pour a pot of hot water and come back, just for such a short period of time , Looking back, Xiao Zifu didn't know where he went, the couch was empty, the quilt was lifted, but there was no one there!
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou quickly put on their clothes and prepared to go out to find Xiao Zifu. The sky was very dark and gloomy, and they didn't know when it would rain heavily. Xiao Zifu was still having a fever and he was not well. where to go.
Xiao Zifu was like a little bean bag slipping out of the ground. He woke up and felt better. There was no one in the house, and there was a gap in the door. Xiao Zifu was a little curious and got up from the bed. Climb down, and ran out the door in a hurry.
The outside environment is very strange. To the mansion, it looks very simple, but to Xiao Zifu, it is like heaven and earth. There are small flowers in the grass that have not been smashed by the rain.
Xiao Zifu ran over curiously, knelt down and smelled the little flower, and there was a little flower beside him that was knocked down, Xiao Zifu stretched out his thin little hand, helped the little flower up, and said in a low voice: " What's wrong with you, Fafa? Are you tired?"
Xiao Zifu was playing with Xiao Huahua. At this time, he heard someone talking, the voice was very small, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Xiao Zifu stood up and walked forward curiously following the sound.
Walking out of the yard, I came to a side room, a very remote place, next to the place where firewood and sundries were piled up, there was a house with the door open, and a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old was sitting in front of the house On the steps, a man was talking to himself.
The young man was slender and had a very delicate appearance, he looked like a delicate doll, but his face was pale, illuminated by the dim moonlight, his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, with a look of inadequacy.
Xiao Zifu walked over and saw the young man talking to himself, biting his finger curiously, and said, "Guokuo, what are you doing?"
The boy raised his head and looked at Xiao Zifu. His eyelashes were very long. When he raised his head, his big eyes blinked, revealing agility, and that fragile and suffocating morbid beauty. He smiled softly , Said: "Tell a story, do you want to listen?"
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou heard that Zifu was missing, so they hurriedly sent someone to look for them, and they went out to look for them themselves, but after searching for a long time, they suddenly heard the sound of someone talking, and the sound of "giggling", which seemed to be the sound of a little boy. Sent by Zifu.
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou hurried forward. When they walked out of the courtyard, they saw a place similar to a firewood house. The door of a house was opened, and Xiao Zifu was sitting in the arms of a young man. The young boy was holding Xiao Zifu. Fu, sitting on the steps, two people are talking, smiling and don't know what they are talking about.
Seeing that Xiao Zifu was fine, Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Zi'er."
As soon as Xiao Zi heard this, he immediately raised his head and said cheerfully: "It's Susu, Guoguo, Susu is here!"
The young man also raised his head, and everyone was a little surprised for a moment, because the young man's appearance was too beautiful and delicate, like a doll, with a slender figure, a morbid paleness on his face, and light pink lips.
Not only that, not only the young man's exquisite face surprised everyone, but also an iron chain was locked on the young man's ankle, which was hung on the door, restricting the young man's movements.
Wu Jiao was taken aback for a moment, Xiao Zifu had jumped over happily, threw himself into Wu Jiao's arms, pointed at the young man and said, "Susu, Guoguo will tell Zi'er a story, Guoguo knows a lot of stubborn things, Guoguo Amazing."
Wu Jiu pointed along Xiao Zifu and looked at the young man. The young man seemed a little timid, and slowly stood up. Once he stood up, the chains on his ankles became more obvious. The young man shrank back and stretched out his hand. Grab the door frame and want to retract into the door.
The servants of the house also heard that the little boy picked up by the king was missing, and they all went out to look for it. Cao Xiao was also alarmed. , Xiaowan died and offended the king."
Wu Jiao frowned and looked at the locked boy, "Who is this?"
Cao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "This... this is a dog."
Wu Jiu was a little surprised, but Qi Hou said, "Who would lock up his son?"
Xiao Zifu didn't pay attention to that just now, and didn't know what the chains were for. At this moment, he bit his fingers and looked down at the black chains on the boy's ankle.
The chain was too big for the young man, very cumbersome, and it was locked on his slender ankle.
Cao Xiao quickly said: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, this...it's true. The child's name is Sun Su, but...he was born with a disease, and it hasn't improved. The disease is very painful, and he can't even breathe. Five years ago, a witch doctor passed by here, and Xiao used his savings to ask the witch doctor to come and see him. The witch doctor actually said... that the child is possessed by an evil spirit and cannot see people. If he sees outsiders, he will probably... Involving outsiders, so filial piety is a last resort... a last resort."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu seemed to have grasped the point, and said in surprise, "Five years ago?"
In other words, this child has been imprisoned here for five years?No wonder the skin is so white, it looks like it has been out of the sun all year round, because it has not been exposed to the sun, so it has become like this.
And the key point Qihou caught was that this delicate and beautiful young man was surnamed Cao, and his name was Sun Su!
Hearing the words Cao Sunsu, Qi Hou was stunned, and then he took a closer look at the young man's face. Although the moonlight was very dim, and it was still cloudy, and there were no lights around, but when he looked carefully, it was really a bit strange. Appearance shadow.
Cao Sunsu is a famous person in Qi State, but he is not from Qi State, but during the heyday of Duke Huan of Qi, about ten or twenty years later, he emerged in Qi State. At that time, Guan Zhong once said that Bao Shuya was upright, and Bin Xu was kind Ning Qi is a man of talent, while Cao Sunsu has great eloquence. If Duke Huan of Qi can get one of these four people, he can dominate the world, and Duke Huan of Qi got four of them at once.
Guan Zhong spoke very highly of Cao Sunsu, and Cao Sunsu himself was indeed very talented.
Qihou didn't expect that Cao Sunsu was in such a small place. Before he entered Qi, he was still a native of Chu.
Both Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were shocked, although the content of the shock was different, Cao Xiao also looked embarrassed.
Cao Sunsu hid behind the door panel and looked at them timidly, as if he had never seen so many strangers at once, but his eyes were curious and longing. He suddenly raised his hand, covered his mouth with his thin fingers, and said softly Coughing, coughing and panting.
When Cao Xiao saw it, he quickly said to his servants: "Quickly, please come in, young master, and don't offend the king and Duke Qi."
The servant was about to rush over, Cao Sunsu shrank his neck and took two steps back, at this moment Wu Jiu said, "Stop."
Those servants stopped quickly, Wu Jiu said: "The witch doctor is obviously scaremongering, cheating you of money, there is no such thing as evil spirit possession."
He said, waved Tang Wu over, and said, "Tang'er, go and show him."
When Cao Xiao heard this, he quickly knelt down to thank him. Tang Wu was a famous doctor, and he followed Wu Jiu. He was naturally skilled in medicine. There had never been such a doctor in their small place. Either they were witch doctors, or they were just some doctors. Physicians who wander around can't see serious doctors all year round. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, doctors have been assessed, and the scale is quite formal. However, medical treatment is still a luxury in poor places.
Tang Wu hurried into the house, but he didn't know that Cao Sunsu was very afraid of people, so he quickly hid back, the chain made a "cracking" sound, Tang Wu was taller than him, and he looked even taller than Cao Sun Su was even stronger, which showed how thin that young man was, full of a pathological paleness and fragility.
Tang Wu hurriedly said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor."
Wu Jiu held Xiao Zifu in his arms, and Xiao Zifu slipped out of his arms, ran into the house, raised his head and said: "Guopuo, Tangwu Guoguo is a good person, Guoguo, let Tangwu Guoguo give you Take a look."
Cao Sunsu was still a little scared, but he didn't hide anymore, because Wu Jiao was afraid that he would panic, so he didn't let everyone in. Wu Jiao and Qihou went in to see the situation.
The house is very simple, with almost nothing. Cao Sunsu's chain is enough to walk around the room, but he cannot walk out of the steps at the door of the house.
Tang Wu sat down, took Cao Sunsu's pulse, looked at his face, and did some more checks.
Wu Jiu heard that he was coughing frequently, it seemed that someone was present, so Cao Sunsu didn't dare to cough hard, he was still panting, there was phlegm in his throat, but his strength was too weak to cough it up no matter what.
Tang Wu frowned, looking quite serious, Wu Jiu said, "What's the specific situation?"
Tang Wu said: "Your Majesty, this is a disease of panting and drinking."
Asthma is wheezing and coughing, and drinking is not drinking water, but choking and hoarseness. To put it bluntly, the syndrome of wheezing and drinking is actually asthma.
In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, wheezing and wheezing were defined as asthma. triggers can trigger asthma.
In modern times, asthma is a disease that cannot be cured, let alone in ancient times. In ancient times, asthma was a terminal disease. After all, there were too many incentives, and the medical level at that time basically could not be rescued. An acute attack could only wait for death.
And because of what the witch doctor said, Cao Xiao took it seriously, so he locked Cao Sunsu in the room and didn't let him go out. After a long time like this, Cao Sunsu had lost his basic resistance and physical fitness. It will also get worse, and the incidence of asthma will be higher, and after the onset, it is not easy to rescue. If you want to save Cao Sunsu's life, you must do a good job in the basics. The injury of the season, the wind and cold of the season", these small unspoken things, others just have a headache, but they can kill Cao Sunsu.
Hearing what Tang Wu said, Wu Jiu also knew that asthma was terrible in ancient times, and it was a disease of the rich, so he must be pampered in the future.
When Qihou heard this, he immediately frowned. Cao Sunsu is a man of great talent, and said, "Is there any way to take care of him?"
Tang Wu said: "Back to Duke Qi, recuperation is possible, but it takes a long time, and the medicines are expensive, and we must avoid offenders of the seven emotions, especially not to be overjoyed and sad."
When he said this, Qihou immediately said: "No matter how expensive the medicine is, it must be used."
As he said this, Wu Jiu gave Qihou a strange look. It must be the first time that Qihou saw Cao Sunsu, but he seemed to be very concerned, and I don't know why.
In the final analysis, Wu Jiu was actually a science student in his previous life, and most of the history he read was learned from textbooks, or he read it when he was studying management. In addition, there are really too many talents in Qi, and they are all Guan Yiwu and Bao Shuya. Therefore, people like Cao Sunsu are not well known.
Wu Jiu didn't know that Cao Sunsu was one of the main heroes who later assisted Duke Huan of Qi to ascend to the overlord position, nor did he know that Marquis Qi was a person who lived his whole life, so he was naturally very surprised by Marquis Qi's attitude.
Qihou also seemed to have noticed his gaffe, coughed quickly, and quickly changed the subject. At this time, Cao Xiao just came back to thank him, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Cao Xiao seems to love his son quite a bit, but there is no doctor in this small place, so when the witch doctor said that Cao Sunsu was possessed by an evil spirit, everyone was frightened, and people near and far heard about it. So Cao Xiao didn't dare to let his son go out, and now he can be treated by the doctor in the palace, Cao Xiao is naturally very grateful.
Wu Jiu said, "You don't need to thank me. Quickly unchain your son's feet."
Cao Xiao quickly ordered someone to get the key, and immediately opened the chain on Cao Sunsu's ankle. Cao Sunsu looked at his ankle in surprise. He usually dragged a heavy lock, but now there was no lock. He was almost overjoyed, with a smile on his face, and he was a little embarrassed, and in addition to his young age, he looked very cute and shy.
Wu Jiu prescribed medicine for Cao Sunsu, take a few pills first, and adjust the prescription after seeing the effect, because it was late, Xiao Zifu ran out to play for a while, still feeling a bit cold, and soon fell asleep from sleepiness.
Wu Jiu hugged Xiao Zifu and prepared to go back, and asked Cao Xiao to arrange a house for Cao Sunsu instead of living in the firewood house. Now that he has figured out that Cao Sunsu is not possessed by some evil spirit, he can return to the courtyard live in.
Qi Hou was afraid that Wu Jiu would be too tired holding Xiao Zifu, so he quickly picked up Xiao Zifu, Xiao Zifu slept soundly, and Qi Hou had already had a few times of experience in holding children before, so there was still some time to hold him appearance.
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou first sent Xiao Zifu to rest in the house, Cao Xiao came to kneel and thank him again, Wu Jiu said flatly: "There is no need to thank, Doctor Cao, make preparations, and start to give up meals tomorrow morning."
"Yes! Yes! Xiao will prepare immediately!"
Cao Xiao soon left, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were going to bed, now that they came back from a trip, Wu Jiu was also sleepy, ready to go to bed, but remembering Qi Hou's attitude just now, he looked at Qi again suspiciously. Hou.
Qihou felt a little nervous when he looked at him, he slapped him haha, and said, "Second brother, take a rest."
Wu Jiao glanced at Marquis Qi again, but said nothing, and the two fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, the sun came out. Cao’s house was ready to give up meals early in the morning. The cooks made a lot of big pots of rice, put them in huge bronze utensils, and pushed them to the door of Cao’s house, ready to serve them. Refugees give up food.
Wu Jiu also woke up early in the morning. He was afraid that the refugees would loot the food for the first time, so he asked Yanjiu to dispatch a team to maintain the order of the food.
After Wu Jiu washed up, he went to see Xiao Zifu first. Xiao Zifu was still sleeping. He had had enough trouble last night and had a fever. He had never had a warm place to live. Now that he fell asleep, he slept very soundly. Wu Jiu didn't wake up Xiao Zifu, let him continue to sleep, and quickly backed out.
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou planned to go to the house in the morning and visit the hardest-hit area in the afternoon. On the one hand, they would dredge the flood, and on the other hand, they asked Qu Zhong to study how to rebuild after the disaster.
Wu Jiu and Qihou soon came to the gate of Cao Mansion. As soon as they came out, they saw a long queue of refugees lined up at the gate of Cao Mansion. It just rained heavily yesterday, and the refugees had nowhere to find food. Said that Cao's mansion gave up food, and immediately all flocked over.
When Wu Jiu and Qi Hou came over, what they saw was still an orderly scene. It took Yanjiu a long time to get the refugees to line up, otherwise it would be chaos. Refugees cannot be stopped.
When Wu Jiu walked over, he heard loud noises. An officer and soldier of the Cao Mansion pushed and pushed a tall young man. The young man was wearing a linen robe and looked very poor, but his clothes were very clean.
Because I was far away, I couldn't see the young man's face clearly, so I heard the officers and soldiers of Cao's mansion say that he was going to be driven away. Many refugees nearby looked at him, but no one spoke, and they watched with numb eyes.
Wu Jiu frowned, walked over quickly, and said, "What's going on?"
The King of Chu arrived at the Cao Mansion yesterday, and everyone in the Cao Mansion knew about it. As soon as the officers and soldiers of the Cao Mansion saw Wu Jiu, they immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Report to the King, this troublemaker pretends to be Refugees, come here repeatedly to beg for food, if the villain remembers correctly, this troublemaker has come here four or five times."
Hearing what the officers and soldiers said, the young man immediately said, "Jiao Ao is not a villain."
As he spoke, he arched his hands and saluted Wu Jiu politely.
Wu Jiu couldn't help but look at this young man. He was in his twenties, about 25 or [-] years old. He looked like a literati, but he was tall, with broad shoulders and back. He was hidden under the linen robe, although he was wearing simple , but the appearance is meticulous, and the salute is also methodical.
The young man said, "Tell Ao to pay respects to my king, Duke Qi."
Wu Jiu didn't know this young man, but he could tell that this young man spoke and acted politely, and he was not impatient. He seemed to have seen the world, and he looked very good.
After seeing it, Marquis Qi felt that it was a worthwhile trip to follow Wu Jiu to help the disaster, because Marquis Qi also knew this well-mannered young man in front of him. Naturally, he had known him in his previous life...
The man's surname was reverted to Prince, and his name was Gao Ao. He was a well-known celebrity in Qi State and one of the scholar-bureaucrats who assisted Duke Huan of Qi during his heyday.
But now the prince Gao Ao is dressed so poorly, and he is still queuing up in Xiaoyi waiting for his meal.
The officer and soldier immediately said: "You scumbag still want to quibble, you are tall and big, you don't go to rescue, but you line up here four or five times to eat free rice, what do you eat the refugees next to you?!"
The prince told Ao that he was not in a hurry, and said: "The grain that Gao Ao took was not for himself. There is a dilapidated house on the outskirts of the city, and there are more than a dozen children who suffered from disasters in the school there. I want to feed those kids."
When he said that, the officers and soldiers still didn't believe him, and they were sure that the prince told Ao that he wanted to eat more and occupy more. At this moment, he suddenly heard a very weak voice saying: "Is it the master?"
When he said this, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked inside the gate of the Cao Mansion. They saw a young man standing behind the gate with some fear. It was Cao Sunsu, the young master of the Cao Mansion.
Tang Wu still followed Cao Sunsu. Cao Sunsu's physical fitness was too poor. According to Tang Wu, he was one step worse than Wu Jiu. In addition to taking medicine, he also needed to exercise to improve his physical fitness. In the morning, Tang Wu helped Cao Sunsu to go around twice, starting with the simplest walk.
When the two turned to the gate of Cao's mansion, they heard the sound of arguing outside. Cao Sunsu took a look outside and saw the prince suing Ao.
Cao Sunsu's voice was not loud, and he was a little timid. Seeing everyone looking at him, he shrank his neck. Although he was a little scared, he still said: "Your Majesty, Duke Qi, the master of the prince is the master of the school. Liar, I taught Sun Su to read before."
About five years ago, Cao Sunsu was not imprisoned in the mansion. At that time, Cao Sunsu happened to be at school age. Generally, rich people would invite private tutors to teach. Cao Sunsu was very studious, so Cao Xiao invited the master to teach him. He can read and write.
Cao Sunsu is really smart and learns quickly. The prince Gao Ao was very impressed with this student, and once praised Cao Sunsu, saying that he is his most proud student.
It's just that Cao Sunsu only studied with the prince Gao Ao for less than half a year, when the witch doctor came, and Cao Sunsu was locked in the firewood room, so naturally he gave up on studying.
The prince told Ao that he had always been a private teacher, and later he heard that the king of Chu wanted to help him.
