Ink Burns

Chapter 98 Beautiful Little Silverfish
Cheng Xingyu didn't say it out loud, but Shanyue understood what he meant. He looked at Cheng Xingyu with a twinkle in his eyes and coughed lightly: "Although the lamp oil is exhausted and the light is shining in all directions, it is not as good as a long-lasting trickle of water."

It is rare for Shan Yue to advise people.

Cheng Xingyu smiled, revealing his white teeth and pale lips. Putting aside the fragrant smell of medicine and the brown and yellow medicine stains on his cuffs, he looked like a thin, handsome and gentle young man: "You are worried about me."

Shan Yue nodded naturally: "Auntie Pang said that you don't sleep at night and get up before the cockcrow. If you do this every day, even a healthy person would find it hard to endure."

When Shan Yue nodded, his round, delicate and pointed jaw was like a hammer striking a gong, striking right at the heart.

Shanyue nodded three times, and three gong sounds rang in Cheng Xingyu's heart.

The sound of gongs was deafening.

Cheng Xingyu slowly turned his head away, his eyes moving around as the street scene retreated backwards. After a long while, he said, "Got it. From today on, I'll try to go to bed early."

He changed the subject: "Miss Wei is much better now. She was able to eat minced meat and porridge two days ago. I didn't go to see her these two days. She should be fine—" He then gave the diagnosis: "It does look like an epidemic."

Shan Yue's hand tightened: "Isn't the epidemic gone?"

Cheng Xingyu smiled and said: "How can it be so easy? If it is so simple, then there is no big epidemic? At the beginning, Xue..."

Cheng Xingyu unconsciously ignored the name: ".They acted decisively and burned all the bodies in the city, which stopped the source. Lord Bai also acted wisely and set up a medical tent in the suburbs early on, which cut off the root of the disease. Going south, many prefectures are just beginning to have outbreaks. When the weather gets warmer, maybe the disease will be completely alleviated after the beginning of spring."

There was frequent economic and trade exchanges between various parts of Jiangnan, and this place revolved around Jiangnan.

I heard that there are fewer patients with this "winter diarrhea" in northern Zhili, perhaps because southerners are reluctant to go north.
Well, since the disease breaks out suddenly in the cold winter and the main symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea, everyone calls it "winter diarrhea disease."

Pathological conditions are interesting in this way.

It is not only related to the disease itself, but also has a great relationship with economic and trade exchanges, geographical distance and dietary structure.

Shan Yue thanked him: "Thank you for taking care of her."

Cheng Xingyu smiled and said, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. Even if you didn't ask me to do it, as a doctor I would still do my best to treat her. Besides, Miss Wei has saved countless lives."

However, only with your entrustment would he drag his sick body, brave the snowstorm, and come to give you acupuncture in person twice a day.

This sudden onset of coughing and wheezing was caused by the wind and frost in those days.

Just as he said, "It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning", his hidden and shameful friendship is also "not worth mentioning".

Shanyue thought of the poison needle that saved his life and thanked Cheng Xingyu again: "Fortunately, you hid the poison and needle under the bottle of Baiyu Paste, otherwise I would have died in Pingning Mountain."

When Shan Yue's wrist was burned, she took advantage of Cheng Xingyu's acupuncture to slip the hidden note into his hand, which led to the thickening of the bottom of the white jade paste bottle to facilitate the hiding of poison and needles: The trip to Pingning Mountain must be dangerous, and it is a fight to the death. If she really can't survive, then no one will live! Mrs. Xue's status is respected, and she has a blood feud. She is worth it!

——That was the thought I had at the time.

Unexpectedly, it was used on the back of Gu's hand.

Not to perish together with others, but to survive and protect oneself.

This was the first time that Shan Yue killed someone. The deaths of Cheng Xinghe and Liu Hezhou were circuitous and subtle, with no trace of her from beginning to end.

That night, she saw Gu die with blood gushing out of all his orifices. She thought she would at least have a nightmare to show her respect, but she slept soundly. Even if Gu's spirit wanted to come into her dream to scare her, it would have no way to do so.

She had always been cold and indifferent. Before her mother passed away, she was taciturn and didn't like to socialize with others. In the bustling countryside that relied on personal connections, she was never loved by the elders and fellow villagers. Her father, who was known as a "literary man", would poke her forehead with the end of his chopsticks whenever he was drunk: "You are so unworthy of your pretty face!"

He took advantage of her drunkenness to pinch her lips: "Smile! Smile! You're prettier when you smile!"

Before her mouth was pinched until it turned blue, her mother would always appear in time, slap the back of her father's hand with a chopstick, and then help her father into the house to lie down to sober up, cursing: "You drank horse urine! Don't drink it in the future! You might as well use this money to read a few more books!"

Her blood was naturally cold, she could not laugh, and she even knew how to watch coldly from a young age, her father's useless contempt, her mother's dullness and superficiality, and the suspicion and contempt of her fellow villagers towards her outsiders.
He is so high up that he thinks he sees through everything, that he is not in the Three Realms, that he is beyond the Five Elements, and that his whole family and village are the smartest.
She looked down on her own mother's panic and shallowness, and even more on her own father's laziness and incompetence. Such an unfaithful and unfilial person ended up being an orphan.

Therefore, it was extremely wise for God to spare her life to atone for her sins and take revenge. People like her are just like passers-by in this world, stained with blood and tears but without any emotion;

The light of water is different.

Under the mountain moon, the donkey cart has arrived at the alleys in the east of the city. Wei Ruchun is wearing a red coat that has been washed white, and is standing on a small stool. A big red lantern is hung under the green tiles. Next to him is a low old wooden four-corner table, on which are scattered scissors, folded couplets, and sticky paste.
Wei Chen, the foster mother, said loudly: "Don't stand too high, be careful not to fall down!"

Dr. Chen, the foster father, limped on one leg, leaning against the wall, smoking a pipe cheerfully: "Ruchun has been like a monkey since he was young. He fell down the mountainside and survived. How high is this? I think you are not old, but you are old, so you talk so much!"

Wei Chen opened her palms as if to strike.

A nimble short figure jumped out at the right time, holding a cloth shoe in both hands, and said with a flattering smile: "Mom, if you use this to hit someone with your own hands, it will hurt~"

Doctor Chen shouted, "Hey!" "You bastard! I'm going to beat you to death!"

The whole family was having a quarrel under the blue-tiled wall.

Shanyue stood calmly with his hands hanging down, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up: Shuiguang is different, she has been likable since she was a child, smart and happy, speaking her mind directly, and never begrudges sweet words to anyone, just like a lazy, shining little silver fish.

God is really open-minded.

Leave her to take revenge, and leave Shui Guang to enjoy life.

He also gave Shui Guang such a good pair of parents.

It’s really the best arrangement.

Wei Ruchun was the first to see Shanyue. Her round eyes suddenly lit up, and she stretched out her arms and waved at Shanyue from the stool: "Sister! Divine Doctor Cheng!"

Shanyue stood up straight, raised his hand, and then greeted Wei Chen and Doctor Chen with a smile.

Wei Chen hurriedly bumped into her husband beside her and said, "This is the owner of this house!"

Doctor Chen knew Cheng Xingyu, but not Shanyue. He didn't realize what was happening until he mentioned the owner of the house. He quickly put out his pipe, limped forward, and bowed to Shanyue: "Thank you, young lady! Thank you, young lady! If it weren't for you, how could our family of four find such a good shelter! Ruchun and my wife have been vomiting and having diarrhea, and have a high fever every night. That shop owner has no conscience, and he has done a terrible thing. He has shortened our lives, and has made our assholes rotten."

Once he starts cursing, there's no end in sight.

And he used the northern Anhui dialect to curse people.

Shanyue was used to hearing people cursing in Sichuan dialect, but now he found the cursing in northern Anhui dialect quite hurtful.

The petite Wei Chen blushed and poked her husband's waist fiercely: "Shut up! Please don't curse in front of the girl!" After thinking for a while, she said: "Miss He can't understand it either!"

Wei Ruchun jumped down from the low stool with a plop, blinked his big round eyes, and explained in a sweet and clear voice: "My father was scolding the shopkeeper for his reckless behavior. He died early, and his butt hook will rot sooner or later."

Wei Ruchun turned around and started a discussion with his adoptive father: "And his son is also a bad-hearted bastard, his ass is also going to be rotten - when he threw our bag out, he also smashed my little jade rabbit!"

"boom--"

The sky was falling for the Wei and Chen families.

"Wei Ruchun! Don't! Explain! Your father's dirty words! In front of Miss He!" Wei Chen burst into a roar.

The little dwarf Luobotin presented the other cloth shoe with a glare, "Mom, you have one shoe in each hand, you are a female knight with two shoes, you beat dad and sister to a pulp."

Wei Ruchun raised her right hand, and the dwarf's neck was skillfully stuck into her elbow.

The suppression from my sister started lightly.

"Can you tell me again?" Wei Ruchun's round eyes narrowed into two crescents.

The dwarf Radish waved his hands wildly towards the sky and shouted, "My Lord, My Lord! My Lord Queen Ruchun! I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

Shanyue lowered her eyes, she was afraid that she could not hide her tears.

It's a small silver fish.

It is a beautiful little fish that gallops in the mountains, rejoices in the wilderness, and absorbs enough vitality and nutrients from loving and being loved.
