The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

(Thanks to beckywa for the monthly ticket~)

Xu Jingzhen watched Li Sanniang's carriage running all the way to Chang'an City, and waited until it was out of sight. Then he turned around, tightened his cloak, tucked his legs under the horse's belly, and moved forward.

By the time Xu Jingzhen arrived in front of the courtyard of Duoshou's house, the snow had really fallen heavily. It was no exaggeration to say that it was as heavy as goose feathers.

Duoshou, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, was still waiting at the door. As soon as Xu Jingzhen mounted his horse, he stepped forward to take the reins.

"Mr. Sir, would you like to go inside first and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up?

My wife also made soup cakes in the kitchen. Would you like a bowl of it, sir? "

Xu Jingzhen refused Duoshou's help in leading the horse, so he led Duoshou into the yard and tied the horse next to the donkey.

"Doshou, could you please go and see Chengxian with me first? The tea and soup cakes will be eaten after I come back."

Duoshou didn't offer much advice and just nodded in agreement with Xu Jingzhen's words.

Duoshou took the lead, and Xu Jingzhen followed Duoshou carrying a basket containing incense, candles, and paper money. The two of them climbed up the mountain in the wind and snow.

When they arrived at the place, Xu Jingzhen looked at the half-burned incense candles in front of Fang Chengxian's tombstone, the frozen cakes and fruits, and a pot of drinks with unknown contents. He knew that these should be left behind by Li Sanniang and the others when they arrived. of.

"Dr. Li brought Mrs. Wang (Luzhu'er's nickname, Wang Wanlu) and the others to see my husband before. This thing was actually given by them."

Xu Jingzhen nodded and said nothing more, but the wind was very strong and it was very difficult to light the incense candles. In the end, Duoshou found a few stones to build an earthen stove, and used a fire stick inside to finally ignite the fire.

After adding incense, he took out a pot of pear blossom wine from the basket. Xu Jingzhen first poured half of it on the ground in front of the tombstone, and then he raised his head and drank the remaining half of the bottle in one gulp.

The clear and cold wine with the aroma of pear blossoms slid down his throat. With the last ray of skylight, Xu Jingzhen looked at the words Fang Chengxian on the tombstone and was stunned for a long time.

"Chengxian, I'm here to see you.

Can you taste the whiteness of pear blossoms? "

Xu Jingzhen raised his head and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "Why do I feel a little bitter when I taste the white pear blossoms today?

Chengxian, have you been reincarnated and come back to this world a long time ago?

Can you and I meet again? "

Where is the response in heaven and earth?

Xu Jingzhen could only hear the sound of the whistling cold wind. When the last light of day fell, Duoshou came over from the intersection and said, "Lang Jun, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. Should we go down the mountain?"

Xu Jingzhen followed Duoshou down the mountain in despair, returned to Duoshou's home at the foot of the mountain, and ate a large bowl of soup cakes made by Duoshou's wife.

Duoshou, who came with a lantern to send Xu Jingzhen to sleep in the house, explained to Xu Jingzhen in an embarrassed tone: "Lang Jun, the house is not as good as what Lang Jun used to do, but the bed and quilt are all clean. , just made it this winter, new.

Wait for a while, I will bring you a bucket of hot water for your husband. It will also be good for you to warm your feet to relieve your fatigue. "

A large oil lamp was placed on the small square table. With this light, Xu Jingzhen, who was sitting by the bed, was scalding his feet.

Feeling the warmth of hot water on his numb toes, Xu Jingzhen's eyes fell unfocused on the teapot next to the oil lamp, but what he was thinking about was what Fang Chengxian had said to him on the day he left.

Maybe people who are about to die can feel it. On the day of his death, Fang Chengxian asked Duo Shou to invite Fang Chengxian to his home.

When Xu Jingzhen rushed to Fang Chengxian's residence, he saw Fang Chengxian sitting half-relying on the brocade quilt. He thought it was the decoction prescribed by Dr. Liang recently that had taken effect.

After all, the last time he came to see Fang Chengxian, Fang Chengxian couldn't even sit up, even turn over on his own.

But today, when Xu Jingzhen happily walked over and sat beside Fang Chengxian's bed, before he could say a word, he heard Fang Chengxian coughing non-stop, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

Xu Jingzhen quickly stepped forward and patted Fang Cheng on the back. It took a while before Fang Cheng suppressed his cough.

Because of this violent cough, Fang Chengxian's originally pale face now looked a little rosy.

"Jingzhen, please come here." Xu Jingzhen was about to speak, but Fang Cheng stopped him with his eyes.

"I know you and I are close friends, but after all, I have to rely on you to come here, so I still have to say I'm sorry."

Fang Cheng first smiled at Xu Jingzhen. The smile on his gaunt and thin chin made people feel sad just looking at it.

"Jingzhen, I feel like I don't have much time left. Don't worry, just listen to me first." Fang Chengxian raised his hand again to stop what Xu Jingzhen wanted to say.

“The fact that I can live to this age is because I have taken advantage of it.

Thank you for your search for medicine for me over the years, as well as Dr. Liang, Dr. Li, and Sanniangzi, who have devoted themselves to my diagnosis and treatment and tried to save my life.

After so many years, you have sacrificed a lot to extend my life. I feel deeply grateful that my life in this world is really not in vain. Being able to know you is the greatest blessing in my life.

Now, I have run out of energy, but there are still some things in my heart that I can't let go of. "

Listening to Fang Chengxian's last words, Xu Jingzhen couldn't bear it anymore. His eyes were red and he tried not to let his tears stay.

Fang Chengxian stretched out his hand like a stick of firewood and held Xu Jingzhen's palm and continued: "Although I am upset because of what I, Aye, did, he did it for the whole Fang family. Now that I think about it, I have already let go.

If I really don’t want to enter the Fang family’s ancestral grave after my death, just bury me on the hill in my small village on the outskirts of Chang’an.

I have made arrangements for Duoshou, released his deed, bought land for him, and given him money.

He said he would guard my tomb, and it would be cheap for you to go and see me when the time comes. "

Duoshou, who was standing beside Fang Chengxian's bed, had already burst into tears, but he cried so silently, with big tears falling from his eyes.

"Also, Jingzhen, my only relative in this world is my sister who married to Luo Jing.

I have divided half of my things to give to my sister. I will have to trouble you to help me find someone to deliver them to my sister later.

If my sister is having a hard time in the future, Jingzhen, please help me take her back to Chang'an and support her for me, okay? "

"it is good!"

After receiving Xu Jingzhen's affirmative answer, Fang Chengxian nodded with satisfaction, and then coughed again for a long time.

"Haha, Jingzhen, please don't cry in despair, I have left something for you, Sanniangzi and Luzhu'er.

I asked Duoshou to put it away and lock it in the box. After I go there, I will ask Duoshou to bring it to you. "

After explaining the funeral, Fang Chengxian seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His face quickly turned gray and he could no longer sit still.

Xu Jingzhen looked at Fang Chengxian like this, what else didn't he understand?

"Duoshou, go and call Sanniangzi and the others! Go quickly!"

Finally, just after the fourth watch, Fang Chengxian left this world forever on the bed, accompanied by his friends and loyal servants.

Thank you beckywa for voting 4 times a month. Thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement!

================

I heard that Wang Changling moved to the left and Long Biaoyuan sent this message.

[Author] Li Bai [Dynasty] Tang Dynasty

Yang Hualuo tried his best to sing, and heard the dragon mark passing Wuxi.

I send my sorrowful heart to the bright moon and follow you till the end of the night.

When the poplar flowers have fallen and Zigui is crowing, I heard that you have been demoted to the position of Longbiao Lieutenant. Longbiao is a remote place that passes through Wuxi.

I put my sad thoughts on Mingyue, hoping to accompany you to the west of Yelang.

======================

It is a blessing to have a close friend in life. I wish you and I could have such a friend.

It doesn't matter if you don't have it, loneliness is the norm in life.
