”Clang clang clang …” A violent knock sounded on the door in the middle of the night.
”Doctor Xu …” Hurry and open the door, my young master is in trouble … ”Doctor Xu …” A teenager wearing a half-worn cotton jacket stood outside the infirmary as he shouted.
After a while, the doors of the infirmary opened, revealing a hazy, sleepy face. It was the medicine boy of the infirmary. He was immediately enlivened by the cold wind. He grinned and said, ”It's you, Little Brother Wu.”
”Enough nonsense, where's Doctor Xu?” Hurry up and call him out. My young master has a high fever in the middle of the night and his entire body is in a daze.
”This …” That medicine boy was a little hesitant and remembered his master's instructions. He rejected him ruthlessly and said, ”Little Brother Wu, my master went to the neighboring Riverside County in the afternoon. He hasn't come back tonight.” At a time like this, who would dare to come to the Huo Family door?
”Bullshit!” Then who was the person I saw in the evening? Am I blind? Hurry up and call him out. If anything happens to my young master, I'll see how he explains it to our old master! ”
”Let's not talk about that anymore. My master really isn't here. Why don't you come in and search?” The medicine boy calmly opened the door without a shred of guilt.
Wu Sheng fiercely stomped his feet, stared at the medicine boy and asked: ”Where did that old man go?”
”No ….” I didn't hide. I really went to Riverside County. ” Who knew if his master was still in Second Madame's bed or Third Madame's bed?
The medicine boy saw that Wu Sheng's eyes were completely red, and ran out in his cloth shoes under the snow. He could not bear it anymore, so he gritted his teeth and said: ”Wait a moment!” Then he turned and ran into the infirmary.
Wu Sheng exhaled a breath of hot air into his hands and rubbed his face hard, causing his expression to become less stiff.
Not long after, the medicine boy returned and secretly stuffed two porcelain bottles into Wu Sheng's arms, saying softly: ”These are the best medicines in the infirmary. I see that master has a lot of treasures every day, but I don't know if it's right or wrong.”
”What are you …?”
”You should hurry up and leave. The entire county's infirmary received the county magistrate's notification, I'm afraid no one dares to go up onto the Huo Family.” When the medicine boy finished speaking, he immediately pushed Wu Sheng away, and said loudly: ”I already told you, my master is really not here, quickly leave!” After saying that, he slammed the door.
Wu Sheng quickly put away the bottle and sighed as he ran back.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, Wu Sheng was completely drenched by the snow by the time he got home, and his two feet were so frozen that he could not feel anything. He ran into the young master's room, and before he could catch his breath, he was grabbed by the Old Housekeeper and asked, ”Where's the doctor?”
Wu Sheng stammered as he could not say anything. Finally, he made up his mind and handed the two bottles of pills over to him and said: ”Doctor Xu said that Young Master should take these two bottles of pills.”
”Weren't you supposed to bring him away? How can you take medicine without checking your pulse? ”
Wu Sheng muttered to himself, and replied fearlessly: ”He said that he knows about the young master's illness, and will directly take the medicine.”
”Really?”
Wu Sheng nodded his head vigorously. He waited for Old Housekeeper to turn around before shrugging his shoulders and fidgeting with his fingers.
