Li Zhang

"Brother?... Are you really a brother?"

Before Jin Yi could react, Zhiqing suddenly ran out of the room, stared at Li Zhang blankly, subconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, looked up and down, full of doubt and expectation.

"Sister Zhiqing. It's me." Li Zhang took off the human skin mask as he spoke, and smiled shyly and gently.

"Ah! It's really... brother!"

Zhiqing suddenly got wet eyes, took a step forward, stopped hesitantly, opened his mouth, struggled and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stomped his feet, stepped forward to hold Li Zhang regardless, and said angrily: "Brother is here so quickly!" For a long time, I ignored Zhiqing, brother is so cruel!"

Li Zhang blushed immediately, and gently broke away from Zhiqing's hand: "My sister has grown up, why is she so disregarding her deeds. I was very proud when I heard about my sister's deeds just now!"

"How can there be...what deeds..." Zhiqing twitched, lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes, completely losing her aggressive appearance just now.

Zheng Yiyan saw it interestingly, and said to Jin Yi with a smile: "It's my fault that disturbed the conversation of the little brothers and sisters!"

Jin Yi looked Li Zhang up and down, with a worried expression on his face: "How did you make yourself like this! Seeing that you are three points short, so ignorant of love, how can I let Zhiqing suffer with you!"

Zhiqing was startled, and interrupted instinctively: "Uncle!"

Li Zhang was even more astonished at Jin Yi's words, and replied anxiously: "The genius doctor is too worried. How dare Li Zhang delay my sister."

"What did brother say! What a delay!..." After Zhiqing finished speaking quickly, she suddenly woke up and blushed.

Jin Yi snorted unhappily, Zhiqing's face turned even redder, and she was too ashamed to lift her head.

Zheng Yiyan laughed loudly: "Brother Jin, isn't this very good!"

Li Zhang didn't expect to meet again in such a mood, he couldn't figure out what Jin Yi and Zhiqing meant for a while, and was so embarrassed that he couldn't lift his head.

Jin Yi still looked ugly, stepped forward to pick up Li Zhang's hand, frowned and stared at the burn marks exposed on the outside of his arm, and put his hand on the pulse door, then raised his head and stared at him in disbelief.

"You..., what's going on?!"

Zhiqing was taken aback by Jin Yi's stern tone. Seeing Li Zhang's worse appearance than last time, she was even more worried. She reached out her hand to check his pulse, but Jin Yi blocked him sideways.

Zheng Yiyan separated Jin Yi and Li Zhang without a trace, smiled and comforted Zhi Qing who was getting more and more worried: "Miss Qing, we walked the mountain road for a long time, and we are so hungry!"

Zhiqing still looked at Li Zhang in surprise.Li Zhang smiled embarrassedly, and said softly and gently: "I'm fine, sister don't worry."

Jin Yi stomped his feet angrily, left Zhiqing, and walked into the house first.

A sumptuous dinner was placed on the low table by the fire pond, and Zhiqing deftly brought out the thickly stewed wild mushroom and pheasant soup for everyone.

Zheng Yiyan picked up the bowl and ate it in one go, and praised with satisfaction: "Miss Qing's craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

Jin Yi glared at him dissatisfied, and also devoured it all in one go.Li Zhang immersed himself in drinking half a bowl of soup, and was about to put it down when he saw Zhiqing looking at him expectantly, he hesitated for a moment, and finished the rest of the bowl.

Only then did Zhiqing smile with satisfaction, her eyes lit up brilliantly, and the smile was always on her face.She is not stunningly beautiful, but her delicate eyebrows are shining because of the self-confidence and open-mindedness naturally revealed between her brows, like a naturally accomplished pearl, which is still stunningly beautiful without needing to be polished.

Sitting opposite her, Li Zhang felt extremely cramped for the first time, with his eyes lowered all the time, not daring to take a light look.He had an old stomach disease and couldn't eat much. He managed to eat a bowl of broth just now, and he was already holding on.

"Brother eats so little! Is it because the food is not to your liking?" Seeing this, Zhiqing also put down the bowl, and wanted to get up to make some Li Zhang's favorite food again.

Li Zhang quickly stopped her: "I was sick once, so I can't eat too much. Just give some to my sister when I'm hungry."

Zhiqing reluctantly sat down, looked at Jin Yi probingly, Jin Yi pretended not to see with a sullen face, and ate sullenly.

Zheng Yiyan said sloppily again: "He just has a weak stomach, just take care of it slowly. Could it be that the three famous doctors here are just empty titles?"

Then Zhiqing blushed again, and argued in a low voice: "How can there be three, Bobo Zheng is going to make fun of Zhiqing."

Li Zhang couldn't help laughing.

After the meal, the younger brother of the Shi family came to invite Zhiqing again. Zhiqing hesitated and looked at Li Zhang.Li Zhang still lowered his head slightly, not meeting her eyes.She thought for a while, half coquettishly half earnestly asked Jin Yi to agree to take a good look at Li Zhang's body, then told Li Zhang to go and go back, and left with the younger brother of the Shi family.

Zheng Yiyan got serious, and told Jin Yi about Li Zhang's fake death. Jin Yi was shocked when he heard that, and stared at Li Zhang for a long time without saying a word.

Li Zhang was stunned by his stare, and explained bravely: "Three days of suspended animation, I'm afraid it's not enough..."

Jin Yi continued to stare at him for a while, then turned away with a sigh.

"I knew it! But this evil fate, I just can't avoid it!"

Li Zhang couldn't help frowning when he saw Jin Yi mentioning this unreasonable talk again.

"Li Zhang won't drag my sister down. Don't worry, the genius doctor!"

Jin Yi's eyes widened again: "You have the final say? Over the past year, so many Han and Miao families have come to ask for marriage, and none of the children are willing to nod! If she doesn't say anything, she will pretend that I don't Do you know! She secretly went out to treat people, and she just wanted to inquire about you without telling me! During the case of King Ning, she wanted to go to Beijing secretly, but I stopped her and didn’t talk to me for a few days! New After the emperor ascended the throne, there were more and more rumors about you, but none of them were good things! She didn’t know how many times she cried secretly for you, and then she settled down for a few days, and you...! You talk about you, what else? My lord, what are you doing!"

Li Zhang pursed his lips tightly, bowed his head in silence, feeling both moved and sad in his heart.

No matter how ignorant he was in the past, after repeated entanglement with Sima Yi, he already understood the vague feelings he had for Zhiqing.It was only because it was impossible that he carefully kept it in the deepest place in his heart, even forgetting himself on purpose.Now that Jin Yi dug it out like this, he realized that the unknown seed had taken root in Zhiqing's heart, which made him both happy and distressed. What to say.

Zheng Yiyan made a rescue and said: "He just came out, so don't complain! Miss Qing has her own plans, and it's a good thing. Let's talk about how to deal with his Gu!"

"What can we do! The Gu has been trapped in the cold poison for a long time, and its nature has changed, and it is violently activated by the fire poison. Suppressing it with ice needles has made it even more cold. Tell me, when it flares up recently, is there any other coldness coming from the limbs?"

Li Zhang froze for a moment and nodded.

"Don't think that this cold air can be neutralized by the burning fire air when it enters the heart veins. Since they come from one body, they will not meet and die. I'm afraid that life will be worse than death!"

Zheng Yiyan couldn't laugh anymore, and frowned and asked, "Does the great wizard have a way to get Gu?"

Jin Yi sighed and said, "I can only ask him to try it. I just heard that he has refined new Gu recently, so I don't know where he is hiding. I'm afraid it will take some effort to find it." He looked at Li Zhang with a frown, and said to Zheng Yiyan : "I'll go to the great wizard tomorrow. If you use moxibustion for him these few days, the hotter you feel, the more you need to burn it, don't say you can't stand it! If you use ice needles again, I'm afraid the great wizard will be fine." Method."

Zheng Yiyan took a deep breath and looked at Li Zhang with a look of unbearable expression.Li Zhang bit his lip lightly, his face turned pale, but he nodded and said: "If this is the only way to get rid of the Yi Gu, Li Zhang is willing to give it a try. If you are afraid that I will struggle too much, sir, just tie me up tightly."

Zheng Yiyan looked at him and sighed speechlessly.

Li Zhang glanced at Jin Yi again, and said uncertainly, "Sister...how about keeping it a secret?"

Jin Yi's complexion darkened again, he thought about it carefully, and sighed: "The little lady of Shi's family has slipped her tire many times, and Zhiqing has been recuperating her for several months, and it has been a hundred days since this time. Zhiqing should know the day Staring at her in the past, you guys, take advantage of her absence!"

Li Zhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Zheng Yiyan shook his head and remained silent.Jin Yi didn't say any more.

The next day, Jin Yi, who simply told Zhiqing that he was going into the mountains to find medicinal herbs, left home.Seeing that Jin Yi's expression was the same, and that Li Zhang and Zheng Yiyan were stable as usual, Zhiqing believed that Li Zhang was fine, and immediately felt relieved.She prepared breakfast, looked at Li Zhang who came back from the pool, and smiled like the morning light.With such a smile, Li Zhang softened his hard defenses, and also smiled warmly.

After Zhiqing left, Zheng Yiyan took advantage of no one, tied Li Zhang tightly to the bed, and began to burn the moxa.Yi Gu became active when exposed to heat, Li Zhang was trapped inside and outside, like a fish grilled on fire, he lost his sanity after a while, but he couldn't pass out, but he struggled unconsciously so that the whole bed was shaking to the point of collapse.Zheng Yiyan didn't know when it would end, he couldn't help but wanted to stop several times, and continued with a ruthless heart. When it finally stopped, he was already drenched, and Li Zhang couldn't wait to sink into the darkness.

When Zhiqing returned home halfway, she saw Zheng Yiyan propping his head wearily, looking at the back room, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhiqing seldom saw Zheng Yiyan's expression like this, and suddenly panicked, and ran into the house a few steps, Zheng Yiyan couldn't stop her if she wanted to.

"Uncle Zheng! What's wrong with brother?"

Zhiqing saw Li Zhang who was drenched and tied to the bed at a glance, the rosiness on his face faded instantly, and his eyes were full of fear like a startled deer.

Zheng Yiyan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he briefly explained the matter, so as not to scare her, he deliberately only picked the good ones.Zhiqing was confused just now, but now she could understand that the doctor's instinct came back, she checked Li Zhang's pulse carefully, asked about Yi Gu in detail, went out to boil hot water, rolled up her sleeves and was about to Li Zhang wiped himself.

"Miss Qing, you... let me do it."

Zhiqing smiled brightly: "It's not that Zhiqing is shameless. It's just that Zhiqing has long regarded her elder brother as a family member. Zhiqing will not marry someone else!"

Zheng Yiyan was overwhelmed by her natural tone, and didn't know what to say for a moment, but watched her deftly undo Li Zhang's concealed skirt.

However, Zhiqing, who had untied the front of her clothes, could no longer maintain her composure, and she burst into tears seeing the scars all over her body.Even though she had thought countless times that the reunion with her brother was due to his injury, she couldn't accept the facts before her eyes, and couldn't believe that the nightmare of the past would repeat itself on her brother again and again.She just felt so distressed that she wished to take it all away, and felt that she had studied medicine hard but was still powerless!

Zhiqing wiped Li Zhang's body while crying, swallowing and sobbing as if she was afraid of waking Li Zhang up, choked up several times and couldn't breathe, closed her eyes and turned back abruptly, her heart and lungs seemed to explode, and she didn't realize it at all , just kept going on with the action in hand.

After wiping it clean, Zhiqing took out the new clothes she had sewn secretly, and put them on carefully for Li Zhang.I went to cook again with my eyes swollen, ate with tears, and quietly went to Shi's house again.

Zheng Yiyan was speechless throughout the whole process, not knowing how to persuade him, and no longer in the mood to make fun of him, but continued to look at Li Zhang thoughtfully.

Li Zhang didn't wake up until the end of the day, and lay down for a while weakly, before slowly sitting up.

Zheng Yiyan fed him a large bowl of ginseng soup, and asked him slowly, "How do you feel?"

Li Zhang smiled wearily: "It's okay."

"Miss Qing... very sad."

Li Zhang looked at Zheng Yiyan in surprise.

Zheng Yiyan sighed: "She is a good girl."

Li Zhang said silently, "Don't listen to Doctor Jin, I... have never thought about it that way."

"And why?"

Li Zhang smiled bitterly: "I am like this, how can I drag others down."

Zheng Yiyan sighed and said no more.

When Zhiqing came back at night, her complexion was normal.After saying hello to Li Zhang, I selected warming and tonic medicinal materials and stewed wild animals, and served Li Zhang with a small bowl of rice, no more, no less, just like yesterday's portion.

Li Zhang was moved. Although he had no appetite, he still finished eating slowly.Zhiqing looked relieved, and the smile on her face relaxed.

After the meal, Zhiqing didn't go out again, and discussed carefully with Zheng Yiyan about the moxa treatment. Li Zhang sat on the bedside and listened to their conversation, feeling as if his soul had come out of his body, looking at the strange and heart-warming things , I felt my heart start beating again.

The author has something to say:

I have to toss Li Zhang again, but this time it's no better than being in prison or palace, with good doctors and Zhiqing, his heart is slowly recovering, and everything will be fine.Um!
