Chapter 146 The Lion King delivers medicine

In the afternoon, Ye Anyian boiled water, scalded the two pheasants, removed their feathers, and cleaned them inside and out.

　　He really didn't know how to handle hares, so he hung them on the beams and waited for Jiang Zhu to come back.

　　When the sun was setting, Jiang Zhucai finally drove the ox cart back leisurely.

　　Ye Annian heard the noise and went out to greet him. He helped him lift the pork and medicine boxes from the car, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of a jar of wine placed on the car board.

　　Jiang Zhu is not usually good at wine. He brews his own wine at home, and most of it is fruit wine that is sweet but not strong. The two of them drink it occasionally.

　　"Why did you buy wine?" Ye Anyian asked casually.

　　Jiang Zhu tied up the oxcart and caught up with him in a few steps: "It's cold in winter, so drinking can warm you up."

　　When he said this, Ye Anyian didn't think much about it and talked about the lion king catching pheasants and hares for them.

　　"Just leave it there. I'll be at home tomorrow and I'll do it easily."

　　"Is there anything going on at the shop and wooden workshop today?"

　　"It's all normal, there's nothing you need to deal with."

　　"Then go in and wash your hands and eat. I'm making chicken soup tonight."

　　With Jiang Zhu around, Ye Annian rarely cooks. Recently, construction started at home, and he started cooking when the two of them went to town for a shift.

　　Fortunately, his cooking skills were pretty good, and at least the two children and Jiang Zhu thought it tasted good.

　　Hearing him say that he had stewed chicken soup, Jiang Zhu frowned: "Okay, I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time."

　　By the candlelight on the low table in the hall, Ye Annian caught a glimpse of Jiang Zhu's profile. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with Jiang Zhu today, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

　　"Well, the chicken soup made by brother is so delicious." Fu Zai suddenly sighed in praise while drinking the chicken soup.

　　Ding Qiu also said: "Put in mushrooms, fresh ones."

　　Ye Anian came to his senses, sat down on Jiang Zhu, and then gave him a bowl of chicken soup.

　　The stewed soft and tender chicken is firm and flavourful, and the mushrooms and radishes are also soaked in the flavor of the soup. It is delicious and not greasy at all.

　　Jiang Zhu picked up the spoon and drank slowly. Ye Anian glanced at him from time to time while eating the corn pancake in his hand.

　　But Jiang Zhu didn't notice until the meal was finished.

When going to bed at night, Ye Anyian went into the house with the soup potted in his arms. He saw Jiang Zhu sitting at the kang table, reading a book, and walked over to explore his forehead.

　　"What to do?" Jiang Zhu paused while turning the pages of the book and looked up at him.

　　"Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ye Anyian put the Tang Pozi in his hand into his arms and rubbed it against the back of his hand. It was cold and his forehead was not warm.

　　But he just felt that Jiang Zhu was different today than usual. His face was not very good, and he ate very little in the evening and only drank a little chicken soup.

　　He originally thought that the food he made was not delicious, but both children were very satisfied with the food, and each drank two large bowls.

　　He tasted it himself and there was nothing wrong with the taste.

　　"Maybe I'm a little cold," Jiang Zhu closed the book and took Ye Annian's hand, "I'm fine, I'll be fine after a nap."

　　Ye Annian thought about it. He was a doctor himself, so he should have been treated when he was sick.

　　"Then stop reading and go to bed early."

　　Jiang Zhu smiled and reached out to hold him: "Let's go together."

　　A night of silence.

　　Ye Anyian got up early the next day. Because he had to go to town and had to cook in advance, he had to rush early.

　　But today, after he had washed up and cooked porridge, Jiang Zhu hadn't even woken up yet, so he felt that something was wrong.

　　Normally, Jiang Zhu would wake up if there was even the slightest movement.

　　He stepped forward and touched Jiang Zhu's forehead. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was caught.

　　"you're awake?"

　　Jiang Zhu glanced at him vaguely: "Are you leaving?"

　　"Well," Ye Annian said, touching his hand which was still cold, "you should have a good rest today. I'll ask Yang Chi to come over later to help make lunch, and I'll just ask Wu Chuan to take care of the hare."

　　"No, I'm much better today."

　　"No." Ye Anian opened his hand and stuffed it back into the quilt, "When you are sick, take a good rest. It's a shame that you are still a doctor, so you are so careless."

　　"I know my own body well, so go ahead."

　　"Then just lie down. I've cooked the rice and stewed it in the pot. Get up and eat something if you're hungry."

　　"good."

　　Before Ye Anian left, he still took another quilt to cover him. Then he went to Chen's house to talk to Yang Chi about coming to cook at noon. He also brought the hare to Orion Wu Chuan and gave him some money to ask him to help. Clean it up.

　　They were all settled, and without even bothering to eat, they drove off in the bullock cart.

　　Jiang Zhu also got up after he left.

He almost didn't sleep last night because of the poisoning attack. Although his body was cold, his internal organs felt like they were being burned by fire. The burning pain was unbearable and he couldn't sleep at all.

　　He calmed down for a while and went out to fetch water to wash up. Only then did he realize that his dirty clothes were soaked with cold sweat, so he found something clean to change into.

　　Not long after, Zhang Minjiang and his team came, said hello to him, and led the craftsmen to start moving tools to work.

　　The back wall of the new house built next to the west house has been erected, and it is estimated that it will be almost completed in about ten days.

　　After the two children got up, Jiang Zhu went to the west room to dig out the jar of shochu, filled a pot with it, and then headed to Wangyue Mountain carrying a bamboo basket.

　　It was still early and the sun had just risen. He climbed along the mountain path to the top, overlooking the endless mountains in the distance.

　　Suddenly I felt something nudged my feet. When I lowered my head, I saw it was a furry black thing.

　　Copper Coin followed him at some point.

　　The copyist picked up the copper coins, and one person and one dog found a stone to sit on.

　　Perhaps realizing that he was different from usual, Tongqian kept pushing his head against his hand. Jiang Zhu didn't know what it meant, so he reached out and touched its head.

　　The copper coins were rubbed on his hands very usefully, and he also sniffed him with his nose.

　　Jiang Zhu didn't have the energy to pay attention to it, and let it rub against him randomly. He opened the wine bottle and took a gulp.

　　Although drinking alcohol has no effect on suppressing the poison, it can numb the pain.

　　The old man gave him only three pills, one of which was only effective for three days. However, this time the poison occurred more than a month earlier than in previous years, and he didn't know how long it would take to get over it.

　　So during these days, I can only rely on drinking to support myself.

　　A gust of mountain wind blew by, Tong Qian shook his hair, and suddenly howled at the top of his voice.

　　"Woo~!"

　　"Ouch!"

　　"What are you yelling for? Be careful to attract the wolf." Jiang Zhu raised his hand and hit Copper Coin's dog on the head.

　　Tongqian tilted his head, looked at him in confusion, and then continued to howl louder.

　　Jiang Zhu:...

　　Fortunately, this is the top of the mountain, so the copper coins won't disturb the people.

　　However, not long after, a big brown leopard cat jumped out of the forest with quick movements.

　　"Lion King?" Jiang Zhu was a little surprised.

　　So was Copper Coin just calling it?

　　Before he could think about it, the Lion King had already rushed to him.

　　Only then did Jiang Zhu realize that it actually had several herbs in its mouth.

　　The Lion King looked at him, spit out the herbs in his mouth, and pushed the copper coin in front of him with his paws.

"Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Smilax cocos... You are trying to help me treat my illness."

　　He rubbed Copper Coin's head, and then patted the Lion King's head. He smiled with a pair of peach blossom eyes: "My disease cannot be cured by ordinary herbal medicine, but if you can pick it on this mountain, You can bring me some herbs."

　　The Lion King didn't know whether he understood or not, he shrugged his nose, rested his head on his lap, and rubbed it.

　　…

　　On the other hand, Ye Anyian felt panicked all day long.

　　We went to the shop and the wooden workshop for a tour, and then drove the ox cart back in the middle of the afternoon.

　　When we got home, it was still daylight, and Zhang Minjiang and the others had not yet finished their work.

　　Seeing him coming back, I was a little surprised: "So early today?"

　　"There's nothing going on at the shop, so I came back early." Ye Anian replied.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Jiang Zhu busy in the medicine house. He was not wearing thick clothes and there was no blood on his face. The heart that had been hanging around for a day finally "thumped" and sank to the bottom.

　　He rushed into the medicine house in two steps at a time, ignoring Fu Zai and Ding Qiu's calls to him.

　　Jiang Zhu was flipping through the pulse table and looking at the medicine jar on the stove. When he heard the movement, he raised his head and met Ye Annian's gloomy eyes.

　　Ye Anyian didn't say a word, but held his hand, which was still cold to the touch.

　　Suddenly he was a little annoyed: "It's not healed yet, it's just another hassle."

　　He directly pulled the person up and dragged him into the house.

　　It had been so long since the two had been married that Jiang Zhu saw him so angry for the first time, so she didn't resist and allowed him to pull her into the house.

　　Ye Annian sat him down on the kang, took the cloak and wrapped him tightly in a few strokes.

　　During the movement, I touched the wine bottle hanging on his waist and pulled it off: "You are like this, and you still drink?"

　　Seeing that he was really angry, Jiang Zhu reached out and pulled him into his arms and hugged him, smiling: "Are you so worried about me?"

　　Ye Anyian snorted, ignoring him and not acknowledging it.

　　The two were in a stalemate for a while, but Ye Anyian broke the silence first.

　　"Have you... taken any medicine today? What kind of disease is it?"

　　His intuition was that it was not as simple as catching a cold.

　　"It's a weak disease. It was carried in the womb. It's an old problem." Jiang Zhu said casually, "It will happen in winter. It will be better when the weather warms up."

　　"Then didn't you see a doctor?" After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

　　Jiang Zhu is a doctor himself, and his medical skills should be better than those of ordinary doctors. If he has not been able to cure himself for so many years, it must be that it is really difficult to cure.

　　"I've looked for it too, but it's of no use."

　　Jiang Zhu raised his hand and combed a strand of Ye Anian's hair scattered on his cheek behind his ear, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, it's not a serious illness."

　　"Then put your clothes on and stop drinking."

　　"Yeah." Jiang Zhu nodded.

　　Ye Annian broke out of his arms and tightened his cloak: "I'll cook, you rest in the room, and I'll take care of the medicine for you."

　　Jiang Zhu looked up at him, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Okay."

　　…

　　At this time of the old Ye family, Sun Caihe came out with a bucket of swill to pour.

　　It was already dark, and it was so dark outside that I couldn't see my fingers.

　　Sun Caihe carried a bucket full of swill and walked unsteadily.

　　Just as he walked to the edge of the small ditch and stood still, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the side.

"Oh, mom!"

　　She was so frightened that when her foot slipped, most of the bucket of swill was poured all over her body.

　　But the dark figure stopped beside her, and said with some disgust: "Miss Zhou asked me to deliver a message, why are you panicking?"

　　Sun Caihe patted his chest, which was beating wildly, and thought to himself, you suddenly jumped out, who knows if you are a human or a ghost.

　　But she didn't dare to speak, so she listened to the man: "The eldest lady has already made arrangements. You just need to take the person to the inn in the town in three days, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

　　After the man finished speaking, he was about to leave. Sun Caihe quickly stopped him: "Wait! Where is the money?"

　　"If you bring the person here, the eldest lady will naturally pay you money. Don't worry, it's inevitable!"
