Opposite the entrance hall

The four words of epidemic medicine made everyone hopeful. Ji Si stumbled to his feet, wiped his face with his sleeve casually, and began to order his servants to make the medicine anxiously. pulse, his face was particularly dignified, and then he drove everyone out.

Ji Si was covered in blood, nervously picking at his nails, staring fixedly at the closed door in front of him, grinding the dead skin on his mouth with his teeth, making a thin opening, blood dripping out from the opening, saying With the wounds on his forehead and neck, he looks more like a sick man than Qi Ran in the room.

His nerves were tense, and his expression was in a trance. Du Heng stared at him for a while, frowned, and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder.

"Master Ji." Du Heng was a little worried.

Following the voice, Ji Si turned around and stared blankly.

"You haven't rested in the past few days, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while. There is a subordinate official here. If there is anything, the subordinate official will send someone to notify you as soon as possible. This is feasible."

Ji Si shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing."

Du Heng sighed.

During this trip to Xiangzhou, Du Heng had a lot of feelings. He thought that Ji Si was evil, flattering, and playing tricks, but in fact he was a capable man with a heart for the world and a resourceful minister; Simple, honest and responsible, but the people I see in front of my eyes are selfish rural fools who don't distinguish between right and wrong, regardless of the life and death of others; I even think that the relationship between Ji Qi and Qi is bad, and all kinds of things are what I think. .

In January, many concepts in Du Heng's mind have undergone earth-shaking changes.

He thought for a while, and then changed his rhetoric, "Master Ji, the follow-up of the epidemic is mostly a trivial matter. If Master Qi's illness dissipates and heals up, and you fall down again, wouldn't it be another troublesome thing? What's more, you just came out from Lord Qi, and you are stained with blood and sickness, at least go back to your room to wash up, drink soup and medicine to get rid of the sickness all over your body, and then you will come back soon."

Ji Si lowered her eyes and saw that she was in a mess, but she was also worried that Du Heng and the maidservants around her would be sick in case she was sick. She thought for a while before nodding.

Just as he turned around, he saw Chu Yi running over in the drizzle with tears all over his face. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he cried, "Master Ji, Master Ji..."

Seeing this, Ji Si walked out of the eaves, hurried up to meet him, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Is something wrong?"

The first day of junior high school was drenched, his face was covered with tears, he couldn't speak from crying, and ran all the way, out of breath, choking for a long time without saying a word, "Sir... sir... I'm sick...he's not feeling well...what to do...what's wrong...Master Ji...you save Mr....save Mr...."

Du Heng also followed, confused by his words, frowning anxiously: "First day of junior high school, don't worry, calm down first, and speak slowly, what happened?"

"Mister...Mister..." Chuyi slid down Ji Si's hands, fell down and sat in the rain, and cried out, "Mr. fainted, he got a fever, I gave him medicine, it didn't work, why? It's useless to run Mr. Ji!"

The news hit Ji Si on the head like a thunderbolt, draining all his strength. He pursed his lips hard, and the bloody wound on his mouth split open, and the smell of rust spread in his mouth, which was a bit painful , like a needle prick, pierce the flesh and go straight to the heart.

The sky was dark and gloomy, the drizzle hit the leaves and crushed the branches, the rainwater slid down the tiles and gullies, and slid down the corners of the high cornices that protruded outwards, and the water droplets fell on the ground, smashing a Small puddles, water marks rippled in circles, and the sound of ticking came one by one.

Ji Si raised his head slightly, the slight rain fell on his face, and the eyelashes were covered with water droplets, which made the eyelids a little heavy.

When the rain stops, maybe the sun will come out.

He thought so.

When rushing to the yard where Cen Yulou was resting, there was a bitter smell of medicine in it, lingering around the tip of the nose, just a light sniff, it could get into the nasal cavity, making people feel a little nauseous.

There were several doctors around the bed, they were the ones who entered the building with Cen Yulou three days ago, while the person who was standing in front of him and joking at that time was lying on the bed, sweating profusely, his whole body was hot, Sickly red, a few handkerchiefs were piled up beside the bed, except for the corners that were still white, the rest had been stained red with blood.

As soon as Chu Yi stepped into the room, he knelt down beside the bed crying, holding Cen Yulou's hand tightly and crying, "Sir... sir, are you better? I called Mr. Ji here. Look, I called him here."

Cen Yulou turned his head to look at him and smiled, "Why didn't you open an umbrella? You were soaked through, and you got a cold from the cold. I still have to take care of you, coax you to drink medicine, and then I have to work for several days." .”

"No." His eyes were blurred by tears on the first day of the junior high school, he raised his hand to wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, and forced a smile: "With Mr. here, I won't get sick."

Yes, his husband is the most powerful doctor, how could he make him sick.

"Don't think I'll let you off just by saying something nice and obedient," Cen Yulou said with a smile, "How is your homework?"

Unable to speak on the first day of the junior high school, he just nodded vigorously.

Cen Yulou's eyes were red, and he said softly: "On the first day of junior high school, Mr. fell ill and felt a little uncomfortable."

With just one sentence, the young man in front of him couldn't help it, grabbed the bed rail tightly and cried, "Take medicine when you are sick, and you will be cured after taking medicine. This is what you said, sir, I will boil it for you." medicine."

The young man's cry was not concealed at all, and it made one's nose sore. Enduring the pain, Cen Yulou nodded with all his strength, "The medicine is too bitter."

"Good medicine is bitter, you are a doctor yourself, why don't you know."

The two have depended on each other for many years. It is said that Cen Yulou is in charge of the house. In fact, most of the time he is taken care of by Junior One. He is also a teacher and friend. He is said to be a master and servant, but he is actually a relative.

Cen Yulou swallowed the rusty smell in his mouth, fearing that it would scare him when it spewed out, endured the discomfort all over his body, and said softly, "You can go and make medicine for me. After taking the medicine, sir will test your homework again. Answer If you don’t make it, you will be punished.”

Chuyi didn't speak, just nodded vigorously, raised his hand to wipe his face, turned around and hurried out the door without even a moment's pause.

He ran very fast, as soon as he was far away, Cen Yulou's throat tightened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, slipping down the corner of his lips, staining his clothes and mattress.

Ji Si's expression changed, and he hurried up. He wanted to wipe the blood off Cen Yulou's mouth, but when he stretched out his hand, his sleeve was covered with blood, and the blood on his hand had dried up. No, he swallowed his saliva, swallowed the sourness, and asked mutteringly: "When did it happen?"

"Two days or so." Cen Yulou lowered his eyes and replied softly.

"Isn't there any medicine? Didn't you make a prescription?" Ji Si's eyes were red, and he didn't even dare to blink for fear of tears, "Wait a little longer, I'm going to make medicine on the first day of the new year."

"My foundation is a little weaker, unlike Master Qi who practiced martial arts since he was a child. During this period of time, he has spent a lot of effort in researching medical books, and his body has become weaker. In the past few days, he has been in contact with the source of the disease day and night, so he hangs his breath. The illness is getting worse, and the medicine will be useless, so it is better to give it to others." Cen Yulou said in a flat tone.

Ji Si shook his head and just repeated that sentence, "Don't close your eyes, just wait a little longer, and you'll be fine when you get sick after drinking the medicine."

Cen Yulou didn't speak, just coughed a few times, and vomited a mouthful of blood, which soaked his robe, his face was pale as if lifeless, and even his chest rose and fell very slowly.

"It's my fault," Ji Si said in a hoarse voice, every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, "It's my fault!"

"The way of a doctor is to save the sick and suffering of all living beings. I have never regretted it, so what can Master Ji do?" Cen Yulou panted, his pupils were reddened by the body heat, and his temples were wet with cold sweat. blurred his vision.

Ji Si trembled, his lips moved, but he couldn't say a word.

Cen Yulou suddenly struggled to get up, clenched Ji Si's hands tightly, and coughed heart-piercingly: "Master Ji, although I have no regrets, I do have one regret. We are close relatives of different bloodlines. He is still young and has a temper, and his words have caused a lot of trouble because of his temper. He has never been out of Xiangzhou. If I go, he will be left alone. I am always worried, afraid that he will be tired. Hungry, being bullied by others, and even more afraid that he will be deceived into doing bad things by doing nothing. Mr. Ji is a good official and a good person, can you please...please...accept him as a servant of the nursing home, so that he If you have a place to stay, you will not go astray, I beg you..."

As he said this, he made a gesture to get up, Ji Si hurriedly held his hand back, nodded vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I will protect him for you, prevent him from being bullied, and prevent him from falling into the trap." If you go astray, you must teach him to be a useful person."

"Master Ji...haven't thanked you yet," Cen Yulou's eyes became heavier and his voice gradually became weaker, "It's a pity that I haven't had a good drink with you since we met."

Thank him for believing in himself amidst the doubts of thousands of people.

"There will be a chance." Tears welled up in Ji Si's eyes, ran down his cheeks, and fell on the hands they held.

Cen Yulou pursed his lips into a smile, and he turned his head to look out the window. The light rain brought a layer of rain and mist, and the lush green leaves outside were extraordinarily vivid. The thick and colorful tones made this picture, in his eyes It's been a long time.

When I was studying medicine, my master said that civil servants are admonished to the death, and military generals are to fight to the death. They are doctors who should devote themselves to difficult and miscellaneous diseases. , Treating one disease can save tens of millions of people, so he can be a great doctor for the common people, and the master bestows peace on him, hoping that he will be safe and the world will be safe.

There are many people in the world who claim to be good doctors, but few people can have the virtue of good doctors.

"It's been raining for a long time this year," Cen Yulou said, "When the rain stops, Xiangzhou will be fine..."

The voice gradually dissipated, blended into the wind, blended into the rain, and finally returned to heaven and earth.

The sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, the overcast clouds, and the sound of crying resounded all over the world, and the sky was suppressed, covering this hopeless world.

The Buddha saves all people in the world, saves life, saves death, saves joy, saves sorrow, saves all kinds of things, and all living beings are still suffering.

On the day of Cen Yulou's cremation, the rain that had been raining for several days stopped in Xiangzhou, and a thick fog rose in the morning, covering the mountains, so that what you could see was so hazy that it was unreal.

They were all dressed in plain clothes, their expressions were a bit dignified, no one made a sound, the fire burned extremely, black smoke rushed into the sky, mixed with the white mist in the mid-air.

Through the firelight, Cen Yulou's face looked a little quiet, no different from his usual appearance, as if he would laugh out loud in the next second, bowing and saying, "I'm down, Cen Yulou."

Chu subconsciously took two steps forward, knelt down on the ground, his shoulders trembled, and wept on his back, "Sir...Mr...."

He burst into tears, and was so sad that it made his nose sore.

Ji Si closed his eyes, swallowed his saliva, buried all kinds of emotions in his eyes, and turned to leave.

All sounds are dissipated by the wind.

With a prescription for the epidemic, the [-] people in the isolation shed in Xiangzhou were saved, Qi Ran was able to survive, and all of them lived without dying. Only one Cen Yulou died.

He was right.

When the rain stops and the sun comes out, Xiangzhou will be fine.

Everything is falling apart, and everything is moving in a good direction.

That's what Du Heng said when he delivered medicine to Qi Ran.

Qi Ran raised his head to drink the medicine, passed the bowl over, and asked, "Where is Master Ji?"

"I'm sitting in the courtyard," Du Heng said, "I haven't moved since I came back from outside."

Hearing this, Qi Ran frowned, opened the quilt and was about to get up,

Du Heng hurriedly stopped him, and asked anxiously, "What is Master Qi doing?"

Qi Ran didn't make a sound, just put his outer robe on his body, supported the bed rail, table and chair, and walked out slowly.

The fog outside hadn't dissipated, strands of it were floating in the air, like a dream, and Ji Si was in this dream, motionless, like a lifeless stone statue.

"What is Master Ji thinking?" Qi Ran walked in and asked.

Hearing the sound, Ji Si woke up suddenly, turned around and saw the person coming, quickly got up to support the person and said anxiously: "Why are you up, you are still sick, go back and lie down, don't catch the cold."

Qi Ran's face remained unchanged, and he asked the question again, "What is Master Ji thinking?"

Ji Si didn't reply, just lowered his eyes.

Seeing this, Qi Ran understood, and answered for him, "Lord Ji was thinking, if Dr. Cen hadn't been found in the first place, then he wouldn't have died, and if he hadn't died, there wouldn't have been all this."

After the words fell, Ji Si looked up with a look of disbelief.

Seeing this man's expression, Qi Ran knew he had guessed correctly, and looked up at the mountains covered by the mist in front of him, "Have you ever thought about it, if there is no Doctor Cen, those three thousand people will die? Or more people."

"The life of the three thousand people is life, and so is his life!" Ji Sisi replied without thinking, with a bit of remorse and sadness in his tone, "If I hadn't gone looking for him, he would still be able to keep guarding that little boy." Yard, the first day of junior high school will not even lose the last relative, he is born with a good nature, he should be rewarded with kindness, and a hundred years old is safe, it shouldn't be like this."

Qi Ran glanced back at him, carefully choosing his words, "If it happens again, will Mr. Ji ask Dr. Cen to save Xiangzhou?"

This question was too difficult, Ji Si opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer it.

"We can understand some things, but we don't want to admit them in our hearts," Qi Ran said, "Master Ji wants to save three thousand people, me, and Dr. Cen, you don't blame anyone, you Only yourself to blame."

Ji Si pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

"Throughout the ages, under the surface of the peaceful and prosperous age, there are skeletons and foundation stones, every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood. The land under our feet is made of so much blood. There are bones every step of the way. There is wilderness everywhere, and it is a prosperous age. In fact, it is chaos. Under the overturned nest, there is no end. Thousands of things, do not speak of good or evil. What Dr. Cen has done today is a style of great virtue and a model for all ages. He has no regrets, so why do you need to come? I feel sorry for him, now that the floods and epidemics in Xiangzhou have not subsided, Lord Ji stepped on Dr. Cen's corpse, it's a foregone conclusion, if you ignore the tens of millions of people in Xiangzhou, this crime is the same day, you should bear it Full responsibility!"

"I..." Ji Si opened his mouth.

"Master Ji," Qi Ran sighed, "The prosperous age mentioned in the book is false, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil is also false. The prosperous age of balance is only the peace with how many people, not the peace of everyone. Good and evil are never the only thing that weighs the world. Mr. Ji, the mountains and rivers are not safe, why are you afraid of life and death, you can be puzzled, you can question the way of being a human being, but when the fog clears, you can see the road ahead. That's when you know where to go next."

Ji Si turned around and looked, the fog in front of him gradually dissipated, and the orange sunlight shone through the white fog, covering everything in the world with a layer of halo.

Cen is safe, for the peace of mind, the safety of the body, and the safety of the world.

Ji Si's heart suddenly brightened.

All living beings suffer, but the world is not lonely.

The world is not going well, but there are still people who share the same worries, for the sake of peace.

Winter can be over, spring can be expected, the clouds disappear, and everything is clear.

May the mountains and rivers be safe forever.

May all people be safe.

May the loved ones always be kind and peaceful for thousands of years.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Cen Yulou: [dying breath and pointing at Qi Ran] Why did he get sick earlier than me? I want to die, but he doesn't have to!

Qi Ran: [Looking at the sky]

Handsome author: [rolls eyes] He stuffed me with a red envelope.

Cen Yulou: Me too.

Handsome author: He gave me 100 million, and you give me too.

Cen Yulou: ...

Dr. Cen died.

ps: Actually, I thought about letting Dr. Cen die. After all, I still like it. [Well, maybe the more I like someone, the more I want to kill him.] Dr. Cen’s death was not just because I wanted to kill him. It was doomed from the very beginning. There are too many things in him that others don't understand, but he has a pure heart. He is a doctor, and his mission is to help others. He is too pure, and it is because of his purity that he is doomed. Because he does not look at the world with evil, he looks at everything, even the first day of junior high school is more than he thinks about.

There is no such thing as good or bad in the world, good people also have a bad side, and bad people also have a good side, just like black and white opposites, inseparable, so, Dr. Cen, a character who breaks the balance, actually has a be color , so his watch words are all great tragedies.

Another aspect of his death is Ji Si's growth. At this time, Ji Si is a talented person, a copy of Dr. Cen, with a youthful spirit in his heart, high-spirited, and a little silly and innocent, so he needs to grow up, and needs to cross the path from youth to adulthood. At this stage, seeing more of the world is actually very different from what he imagined.

Finally, I wish Dr. Cen a safe journey.

pps: Tomorrow is my girlfriend's birthday, I have to go out, maybe I won't update it.
