Under the early summer sun, a tall man walked in from outside.
He is in his thirties, wearing a thin duck-egg blue robe, and a navy blue embroidered cloud-patterned belt tied around his waist. His hair is as black as ink, his eyes are lively, and the corners of his lips are raised when he smiles, making people look like they are in the spring breeze. Friendly and kind.
The face in his memory overlapped with that in front of him, and Li Laoer became even more excited and trembling.
He wanted to speak and call him brother, but before he could speak, tears started to flow down his face.
The old man and the middle-aged man still wanted to talk to him, and they were shocked when they saw this.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
The man who came in from the door was bowing his hands and greeting the shopkeeper and tea guests. Hearing the movement here, he looked over.
Seeing Li Laoer like this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, frowned and tilted his head.
The teahouse owner was familiar with him and asked quickly, "Wang Yuanwai, do you have a headache again?"
Wang Yuanwai smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and replied, "I suddenly feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, bring me a new pot of tea. Put it on."
He thought for a while and ordered Li Laoer's table, "Put it on there, that brother is a stranger, I'll join in the fun and chat a few words."
The shopkeeper responded loudly, and the old man The son and the middle-aged man stood up quickly, smiled and welcomed Yuan Wang to sit next to him.
Li Laoer had wiped away his tears now and suppressed all his excitement and ecstasy.
He was brought up by his eldest brother. It is impossible for him not to recognize him. From the looks of it, he must have forgotten things.
Soon, the four of them sat down and tea was served.
Wang Yuanwai bowed his hands and asked Li Laoer, "This brother is really unfamiliar, but is he from Jiangbei?"
The old man responded first, "We have just been talking for a long time. This brother is really from Jiangbei. We plan to find him. " He was traveling around on errands, so he came to us."
Li Laoer also responded, "I used to live in the north, but the barbarians invaded, so I moved here with them."
Wang Yuanwai didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes lit up. He asked, "Brother, do you know any good doctors in Kyoto? Is there anyone with a good reputation who has come to our place?"
Li Laoer pondered, hesitating whether to tell the story about Miracle Doctor Zhang, that middle-aged man But he asked, "Is Wang Yuanwai's headache getting worse?"
Wang Yuanwai waved his hands and sighed, "I have an old problem with headaches, and I can tolerate it. I am asking for the child at home. This child was a little weaker when he was born. , I have been suffering from major and minor ailments. This time it has been cold for half a month. I still haven't recovered, so I thought about asking the doctor from the north. They say that monks from outside are good at chanting sutras. Maybe it will be better if I try another doctor."
Everyone said the same . Nodding, Wang Yuanwai raised his hand to refill Li Laoer's tea and said, "Where is this brother's hometown? I felt familiar and close to you as soon as I saw you. Maybe we were friends in my previous life."
"My hometown is Junyang County, southwest of Kyoto. "Li Laoer used a tea cup instead of a wine bowl and toasted Yuan Wang.
Everyone thought he was polite and polite, but he was the only one who knew that he was honoring his eldest brother, whom he had missed and missed for many years.
"Yuan Wai asked just now. I am trustworthy. I am not hiding anything from Yuan Wai. I do know a miracle doctor."
Wang Yuan Wai looked surprised when he heard this. The old man and the middle-aged man also laughed and said, "This is really fate. Wang Yuan Wai casually said Ask, brother, you can really help."
Li Laoer nodded and replied, "I have nothing to do these days and have been walking around. I went to a place called Broken Gold Beach thirty miles northeast of Xindu a few days ago. The place. There is a new hot spring village there, which is very beautiful."
The three people except Wang Yuan all nodded, "I did hear that there is such a place. I heard that it was a place where a group of outsiders settled, and they dug out hot springs. There was a fight in the court earlier because of people fighting for it."
"So. It will be built soon? I haven't heard of anyone who has been there. Let's go there for a few days when we have free time."
"It is said that it has been open for more than half a month. The hot springs there are very good. If you have back pain or cold, take a bath. Just take a dip and you will feel better without taking any medicine."
Li Laoer said it simply and without any exaggeration, which made people more willing to believe it. He added: "The most important thing is that there is an old miracle doctor in Ruijintan. , his medical skills are quite good. In the past, no one in Kyoto could ask for his help. Now he has settled in Broken Gold Beach, but he occasionally diagnoses people's pulses and prescribes medicine. Recently, many wealthy people go to the hot spring villa just to ask this old miracle doctor to treat him. Take your pulse."
"Seriously?" Wang Yuanwai was surprised. The old man and the middle-aged man were also surprised. "Then Wang Yuanwai really wants to try it. Even if he can't get a miracle doctor to take action, there are only benefits and no harm to the child's cold in the hot springs. "
Wang Yuanwai nodded, stood up, bowed his head to the bottom, thanked Li Laoer solemnly, chatted a few more words, and hurried home.
It was obvious that he had gone back to discuss with his family and was going to give it a try at Broken Gold Beach.
Li Lao'er slowly picked up the tea cup and looked at Yuan Wang's back, finally feeling at ease.
Seeing that it was getting dark at noon, and the old man and the middle-aged man were about to go back, Li Laoer went out with them, rejected their proposal to have tea together in the future, and hurriedly hired a carriage to leave the city and go home!
Broken Gold Beach is as lively as ever. In the mist, guests are chatting and laughing, swimming in the water, and sitting by the pool drinking tea. It is extremely comfortable.
Li Laoer walked around and saw that nothing happened, so he hurried back to the new village.
Mrs. Li did not go to the fields to weed today. She had just cooked two bowls of pimple soup, cracked two eggs, and had a simple lunch with her granddaughter.
At this time, straw mats and small mattresses were spread under the eaves of the corridor. Jiayin held her belly and was feeling sleepy. From time to time, she raised her little hand to shake the golden bell.
The old lady looked funny, touched her granddaughter's soft little hair, and said angrily, "Little money man, you like gold bracelets so much! When the family gets dividends during the New Year, grandma will buy you another pair!"
"No, study for my eldest brother! "Jiayin bared her little white teeth, turned over and crawled into grandma's arms.
Old Mrs. Li hugged the chubby little girl, her heart filled with sweetness, "Oh, grandma's lucky girl, you know how much you care about your brother at such a young age. Then let your brother study first, and when you grow up, let him buy it for you. Gold bracelet."
At this moment, Li Laoer came back and shouted when he saw my mother when he entered the door.
"Mom, I found the eldest brother! That person is indeed the eldest brother!"
Old Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter in surprise and stood up suddenly. However, her eyes went dark because she got up so violently that she almost fell to the ground again.
Fortunately, Li Laoer stepped forward in time, supported his mother, and lowered his head to look at his niece's big, slightly panic-stricken eyes, which made him feel even more guilty.
"Mom, blame me, blame me. I was too anxious for the moment."
"Oh, don't worry about that. Tell me quickly, what happened to your eldest brother? Didn't he come back?"
Mrs. Li was afraid that she would throw her granddaughter again and throw her granddaughter away. Put it in your arms and circle it.
When she stretched her head and looked out the courtyard door, she was disappointed again when she saw no one.
