The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"Father...Mother..."

Xie Lingbai put down Xie Jinqing and was about to rush in, but was stopped by Catcher Wang.

"Such a big fire, if you rush in, you will die!"

"Where are my parents? There are servants and servant girls. They were all rescued, right?"

Wang Butou was in a bit of a dilemma. Behind the Xie Family Medical Center was the Xie House, which was connected together, but no matter whether it was from the front or the back, they couldn't get close for the time being.

"Speak, you speak!"

Xie Lingbai was a little emotional, and Wang Butou sighed: "Young Master Xie, I understand how you feel, but as far as it is concerned, no one around has seen anyone coming out of the hospital."

Xie Lingbai took a step back, with an expression of disbelief on his face. He looked up at the sea of ​​flames in front of him, clenched his fists, grabbed a bucket of water from a yamen servant next to him and poured it on him, and then rushed in.

"Thank you young master!"

"Brother...Brother..."

Xie Jinqing cried so much, Catcher Wang ordered Yi Yi, who had been robbed of the bucket, to take care of Xie Jinqing, then he took off his outer shirt and poured water on his head and rushed in.

When Xie Lingbai rushed in, he was almost hit by a falling pillar. He stepped aside, covered his mouth and nose with some discomfort, and searched for anyone he might see.

"Mother...Father? Uncle Fu? Where are you? Cough cough cough...cough cough..."

There was no one around to respond at all, only the sound of crackling flames could be heard, Xie Lingbai continued to walk a few steps in, and his eyes suddenly flickered.

"father……"

The person lying on the ground in front of him was obviously Xie Sheng'an, he hurried forward, when a wooden plank fell down and hit Xie Lingbai in front of him, blocking his way.

"Father, get up, get up, get up!"

Xie Lingbai shouted loudly, but Xie Shengan who was on the ground in front of him didn't respond at all, and only now did he see that there were a few people lying not far away, it was his mother Xie Chen, the housekeeper, his wife, and a few maidservants.

"Give me..."

"careful!"

Xie Lingbai was dragged back, only to find that the beam in front of the room had collapsed, and his right arm subconsciously blocked it, causing a piece of burn.

"Young Master Xie, the house is about to collapse, hurry out with me!"

Wang Butou dragged him out, but Xie Lingbai didn't cooperate: "Let go of me, my parents are inside, let me go..."

"I can't get in at all, it's already burnt to pieces."

Now Xie Shengan and the others can no longer be seen, because half of the house burned down, and then the whole building was expected to collapse. Wang Butou desperately pulled Xie Lingbai out, and when he came out, he heard a bang, and the whole building collapsed up.

Xie Lingbai turned his head to look at the sea of ​​fire, and knelt down on the ground. His wet clothes were already covered with dust, and his tears fell to the ground.

"Brother, where are your parents?"

Xie Jinqing ran over and cried, Xie Lingbai didn't speak, raised his hand and punched the ground, and the ground was stained with blood after a while.

"Mother, I want mother..."

Xie Jinqing cried sadly, Xie Lingbai remembered the scene of the quarrel with Xie Shengan in the morning, when Xie Shengan asked him to go back to his room to confine him to reflect, he directly injured his servant and fled, thinking that he would not admit his mistake to Xie Shengan.

But now, it's only less than a day, and he has no chance to admit his mistake. Thinking of the expressions of hatred on his father and mother's faces every time, he felt impatient at that time, but now...

The fire was too big, and firefighting was useless. Even the surrounding residences were affected. The fire continued to burn until midnight before it was slowly extinguished.

"This kind of accident can't be helped. Young Master Xie's condolences have changed. Now you and your brother are left in the Xie family. If you fall down, your brother will have no one to take care of you."

Wang Butou comforted him, seeing that Xie Lingbai didn't speak, he took the yamen servants back, the bones picked out by Wu Zuo were going to be brought back to the yamen for inspection, and the crowd had already dispersed and went home to rest.

The surroundings became quiet in an instant, Xie Lingbai still maintained that posture and knelt there, Xie Jinqing stood aside as if tired from crying, just kept hiccupping.

Today's weather is a little gloomy, and now it's starting to rain. It's already late autumn, and the rain hits the face coldly.

"Brother...it's raining..."

Xie Jinqing's voice was hoarse from crying, Xie Lingbai didn't respond, the burned place on his arm was drenched in the rain and it hurt hotly, but there was no expression on his face.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally moved and stood up slowly. Because his legs were numb from kneeling for too long, he almost fell down again.

"elder brother……"

"Wait for me here."

Xie Lingbai left this sentence, and then slowly walked into the ruins. The heavy rain had washed away, but the surroundings still had some warmth. scene.

For 19 years, the place where he lived for 19 years disappeared overnight, including his parents, housekeeper and servants, etc. It was like a dream, or a nightmare.

With a bang, Xie Lingbai felt as if he had kicked something iron. He squatted down and stared at it carefully. It was too dark to see clearly. He reached out and touched the ground. It seemed to be an iron box. Knowing whether it was opened originally or kicked away by him, he picked up a piece next to the box, which felt like a token or something.

"Brother, I'm so cold..."

Xie Jinqing's voice came over, Xie Lingbai came back to his senses, put the thing into his arms casually, then turned around and walked towards Xie Jinqing, only then remembered that the child had been drenched in the rain for so long.

"Walk……"

He picked up Xie Jinqing and walked to a nearby inn. He asked for a room first, and then asked him to bring hot water up to take a bath for Xie Jinqing. After that, he went out and bought two sets of clothes, and came back to wash himself casually.

Lying on the bed, he picked up the thing he picked up just now. It was indeed a token, but he had never seen it before. There was only a symbol on it. Xie Lingbai didn't understand what the symbol meant.

"This thing doesn't look like my house..."

When I saw Xie Shengan and others in the sea of ​​flames just now, they seemed to be lying on the ground. I didn't notice it at that time, but now I think it's very weird.

It just so happens that everyone is lying about the same. Their medical center is generally not open at night, unless there is a serious illness, and usually closes when it gets dark.

He looked down at the token in his hand, how could it suddenly catch fire, and even if it caught fire, it couldn't burn so fast.

Absolutely wrong!

"Xiao Jin, you sleep here obediently, I'll go to the Yamen..."

Xie Lingbai turned his head and saw that Xie Jinqing's eyes were closed, his whole body was trembling, and his face looked a little red. He lowered his head and said nervously, "Xiao Jin... Xiao Jin, what's wrong with you?"

Feeling that the temperature seemed a little high, he raised his hand to touch Xie Jinqing's forehead, it was very hot.

"Oops!"

Xie Lingbai, who had just lost his parents, suddenly panicked. Xie Jinqing was the only family member left by his side. The feeling of fear struck him instantly. He quickly took the outer shirt he bought and put it on for Xie Jinqing, then picked him up and carried him outside. run.

It was already late at night, and there was no one on the street. Xie Lingbai ran to the nearby medical center and kicked the door. It took a while for someone to open the door.

"Who is it so late..."

"Doctor, doctor, let's see what's wrong with my brother?"

"Thank you young master..."

The doctor obviously also knew about the fire in the Xie Family Medical Center just now, so he stepped back a few steps to let Xie Lingbai carry Xie Jinqing in and put him on the wooden slum beside him.

"Doctor, you must cure him, you must cure him!"

"The old man will check first."

The doctor took Xie Jinqing's pulse, checked it and said, "Second Young Master Xie has a cold, so it should be fine if it's just a cold, but..."

Xie Lingbai's heart that had just been let go was raised again because of the doctor's words, "But what?"

"Second Young Master Xie has been weak since he was a child, so he can't compare to others, and what happened just now, so I'm afraid it's..."

"What did you say? Can't you cure it? You can't even cure the wind and cold, what kind of doctor are you!"

Xie Lingbai was a little angry, and the doctor quickly waved his hands: "Even if you kill me, an old man, I can't do anything about it. Besides, the old man's medical skills are naturally not as good as Mr. Xie's. As Mr. Xie's eldest son, Young Master Xie, It should be as true as possible.”

The doctor obviously said this on purpose to Xie Lingbai. Everyone knew that Xie Lingbai had never learned anything since he was a child. Although he grew up in a medical clinic, he didn't understand anything at all.

Xie Lingbai gritted his teeth, he didn't have time to quarrel with others, he picked up Xie Jinqing and left the clinic, and went on to find the next doctor.

One by one knocked on the door, but several doctors shook their heads when they saw it. Mrs. Xie Chen fell seriously ill just before giving birth.

Although the mother and child are safe, Xie Jinqing was much weaker than ordinary people when he was born, and Xie Shengan didn't know how much thought and medicine he had spent on him since he was a child.

Xie Lingbai wanted to beat him up a bit, but knowing that Xie Jinqing was not in good health, he still made him soak in the rain.

"Second Young Master Xie's illness didn't come at the right time. It would be better if it was at a normal time, but just now seeing Master Xie and Mrs. Xie being buried in a sea of ​​flames, the trauma in my heart is not small."

At dawn, Xie Lingbai heard such remarks in the last medical clinic.

"Is there really no other way? I..."

"It's not completely impossible."

Xie Lingbai's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the doctor's hand and said, "Do you have a solution? What solution? Please, please save my brother, I have money."

Xie Lingbai took out the remaining taels of silver, and the doctor sighed: "There is a way, but whether this way can be used depends on you, Young Master Xie."

"What do you mean?"

The doctor said: "There is a prescription that you can try, but the first few are common, and I have them in my clinic, but the last one is Lingxicao, which is hard to find."

"Lingxi grass...where can I find it?"

"Looking at the entire Xixia City, it is estimated that only the Wen Mansion may have one."

"Wen's Mansion...the Wen's Mansion you're talking about..."

The doctor grabbed the rest of the herbs, wrapped them up and handed them to Xie Lingbai, and replied: "Wen Mansion in the south of the city, Boss Wen is the largest medicine merchant in our Xixia City. It is said that there are so many precious herbs in his Yucao Pavilion. There are all of them, why don't you give it a try, Young Master Xie?"

Xie Lingbai took the paper bag. Boss Wen... Does he mean Wen Changheng whom he had molested before?
