I opened a medical clinic in ancient times

Chapter 23 The Ferry

With Pei Shu, a great doctor, Xue Qingling recovered from his illness in two or three days. When he recovered, most of the typhoid patients in Laizi Village were almost cured. The finished medicine packs have already left Laizizhuang, while those with severe symptoms, who are physically disabled, or who have no relatives and no family members, still stay in Laizizhuang.

The patients in Zhuangzi no longer need Pei Shu to take care of them.

Pei Shu then decided to take a boat north to Yangchuan at the Fuyang City Ferry.

[Host: Pei Shu]

[Healing points: 103]

[Countdown to death: 103 hours]

These days, he has been practicing medicine in Laizizhuang, and he has accumulated a lot of healing points. his travels.

In the early morning of the day when he left, Pei Shu arrived at the ferry in Fuyang City early, and Xue Qingling came to see him off with Xiaojiao. It was a very nice sunny day. When the sky was still early, there was a misty white mist floating on the river. The white mist curled up with a bit of blue sky. Tossing in the clouds and mist.

Pei Shu stood on the bank with Xue Qingling's master and servant, watching the boatman sailing towards him from a distance. The river bank was full of willows, and new shoots came out of the willow branches in March. The catkins were blown by the wind and fell beside the pedestrians.

Xue Qingling was wearing light blue clothes, with a blue jade pendant hanging from his waist, a snow-white cloak over his shoulders, and long black hair hanging down his shoulders. He bit his lips and looked forward, with a long and elegant temperament The man in white was standing straight on the bank of the river, his handsome face was even more charming under the reflection of the white mist of the river behind him.

He glanced at the river, and saw that the boat in the water was getting closer and closer to the shore. Xue Qingling lowered his head and blinked, and couldn't help but said again: "Doctor Pei, are you really thinking about going to Lin'an? Lin'an The scenery here is also excellent, if Dr. Pei came to An'an, I—" "

No." Pei Shu's words stopped Xue Qingling, and he turned around to look at Xue Qingling behind him, just in time to see a gust of wind blowing, Blowing up the hair behind the opponent, the long black hair flew in one direction like the willow branches on the river bank.

He showed a gentle smile to Xue Qingling, raised his hand to pick off a little catkin from the other's head, and said with longing, "I'm going to Yangchuan. Pei has already made up his mind to try Yangchuan's famous porridge." "

Okay, young master of the Xue family, let's leave now." After Pei Shu finished speaking, she turned to look at Jiangshui, only to see the old man The old boatman is already rowing the boat and is about to dock soon.

The boatman had stopped on the shore at this time, and the boatman shouted to this side: "You can get on the boat!"

When Pei Shu was about to step onto the boat, Xue Qingling behind him suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute. "

Pei Shu turned his head and turned his gaze to Xue Qingling again, only to see that the other party hastily pulled out a red knot from his sleeve, which seemed to be like a flute. Xue Qingling handed the flute in front of his eyes. A little red, she said to him in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Pei, we met for a while, and now it's time to say goodbye. Qingling will give you something. Alright."

Pei Shu's gaze flickered over the flute, and then he raised his head to look at Xue Qingling in front of him. He wanted to refuse at first, but when he saw that the other party seemed to be about to cry, he unexpectedly felt a burst of trepidation. He couldn't say some words, so in front of Xue Qingling, he took the flute fringe from Xue Qingling's hand, and replaced the original fringe on the spot.

Xue Qingling looked at the bamboo flute on the flute fringe she gave her, and moved the corner of her mouth with red eyes, revealing a small dimple on the left.

The flute made of Qingling bamboo, with the flute ears sent by Qingling... is actually quite good.

Pei Shu was about to put away the replaced flute tassels, but a pair of white and soft hands grasped the tassels under the red knot. Xue Qingling held her hands tightly, but she didn't dare to look at Pei Shu, but turned her eyes Turning to the mighty river next to him, "Qingling has never seen this kind of knot before, can you give it to me..."

Pei Shu looked down at the flute in his hand that had been with him for three years. This is Xuefengbing The fringe on Wang Di is made of extraordinary material, it is hard to be destroyed by a sword, and it is not afraid of fire. Even after several years, the fringe is still brand new. In Xue Qingling's snow-white and transparent hand, the blue meridians on the back of the hand were clearly visible, and the hand was tightly grasped on the tassel, as if he was afraid that Pei Shu would not agree to him.

Pei Shu sighed inwardly, let go of his hand, and the red knot slipped from his hand and fell into the hands of the person on the other side.

Xue Qingling held the flute in her hand, but watched the other party turn around and board the boat.

The boat sailed, and the awning boat quickly left the river bank.

Pei Shu was standing at the bow of the boat, and Xue Qingling could clearly see the other party's figure standing on the boat through the clouds and mists of the river. It was still in the familiar white clothes, and his breath was like ink, allowing him to easily outline the other party's eyebrows and eyes in his mind. .

However, the boatman rowed too fast, and the boat quickly disappeared into the vast river with the people on board.

After getting on the boat, Pei Shu didn't go into the cabin. He just stood at the bow of the boat, looking back at the scenery on the river bank. Those eyes, like peach petals, swept across the willows on the other side like a frightening rush of water. Finally, it landed on the blue figure on the shore.

The other party still stood on the shore and did not leave...

Speaking of which, this was the first time someone stood there like this, watching him leave, as if...he would come back.

The boat got farther and farther away from the shore. Gradually, the shadows of the people on the shore became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a point until they disappeared.

The people on the shore can no longer be seen.

The river wind was blowing on his face, Pei Shu was holding a bamboo flute, stroking the fringe on it, looking at the waves in the water, suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, an unexpected sense of melancholy came to his heart, the first time he There is a feeling of parting.

There is also a strange discomfort spreading in the body, the chest is down, the position of the stomach, it seems that something is expanding, part of it is falling, part of it is rising, and the throat is also slightly blocked... such a

feeling Pei Shu had never tasted it before. He sat in the cabin, thinking maybe he was just hungry.

In the cabin, there was beef jerky prepared by Xue Qingling earlier, which was the ration given to Xiao Cang by the other party. He was the one who helped Pei Shu feed the eagles during the days in Laizizhuang. Pei Shu originally wanted to give Xiao Cang He, but Xue Qingling shook his head, not wanting it.

Pei Shu opened the package of beef jerky, took a bite, and found that the beef jerky tasted very good, no wonder every time Xue Qingling fed meat to Xiao Cang, Xiao Cang would always obediently squat beside Xue Qingling, Doudou His eyes were full of anticipation, and he only wanted to gnaw on the jerky, and after he finished eating, he shook his wings, showing off his "power".

Thinking of the scene when the other party was feeding the eagle, a gentle smile appeared in Pei Shu's eyes that he hadn't noticed, and the discomfort in his body disappeared.

He chewed a few more pieces of jerky, thinking that he was just hungry.

Xue Qingling stood on the shore, watching the black-covered boat leave. On that day, he stood from early morning to sunset, watching the boats coming and going by the side of the ferry, and the ropes were tied and untied on the wooden stakes on the shore. Open, he saw people who traveled far away get on the boat, and he also saw people who returned home get off the boat... All the joys and sorrows in the world happened in such a small ferry.

"My lord, let's go, it's already dark." It's impossible for the boat to come back.

Xue Qingling nodded, glanced at the river once again, turned around, and left the ferry together with Xiaojiao, but every time he took a few steps forward, he couldn't help but turn his head back and look again. Look at the empty river.

The next day, Xue Qingling was also preparing to leave Fuyang in a carriage. In fact, he should have returned to Lin'an. According to the itinerary when he came, he should have returned to Lin'an three days ago, but, for some reason, dragged until now.

His mother had already called someone to remind him, asking him why he hadn't returned home at this time, Xue Qingling sent someone to send a letter back immediately, saying that he would go back in two days.

"Hurry up, move everything up there."

"Have you checked every horse?"

"The medicinal materials are absolutely perfect...Move carefully."

...

The steward yelled back and forth, exhorting from time to time In other words, the servants in the other courtyard are also busy.

Seven carriages were lined up at the gate of the other courtyard. Xue Qingling managed to count the medicinal materials in the carriage, and then, with the support of Xiao Geng, got into her blue carriage.

In the carriage, there is a soft bed, covered with several layers of soft silk quilts, for the owner to rest. Next to the soft bed, there is an open box. Xue Qingling sat on the soft bed and checked the contents of the box one by one. In fact, there was nothing in the box, but it was just a few stacks of white paper, a few peach branches, two medicine bottles... There were not many things in all.

Xue Qingling closed the box with great care, and nodded towards Xiaojiao. Xiaojiao opened the curtain and went out. After talking to the coachman, the carriage began to move forward steadily.

Xue Qingling was reclining on the bed, stroking the box with one hand, he hadn't slept all night, his eyes were swollen like two big walnuts, the red and swollen eyes couldn't be opened, he could only half open them , Through the slightest gap, you can see the decoration on the roof.

Waist-length hair spread out on her chest and back. Xue Qingling raised her hand to comb her hair, lowered her eyes, and found a strand of hair that was different in length from the surrounding hair from the brocade-like black hair.

He once cut off a strand of hair with scissors and hid it in a flute tassel made of red string.

On the fringe of the flute, there is a red knot that he wove by himself. It is a flower-shaped knot and its name is the Sheng'an Knot.

In Lin'an, the meaning of Sheng'an knot is:

——May you get what you want.
