Chapter 197 We brothers are destined to be together!
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 was trembling with excitement.
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 all 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. He heard the movement and 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 Yuan, do you have a headache again?"
Wang Yuanwai smiled bitterly, took a deep breath, and said, "Suddenly I feel a little uncomfortable. Don't worry. Bring me a new pot of tea and put it in."
He thought for a moment and ordered Li Laoer's table. "Put it 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 and the middle-aged man quickly stood up, greeted the king with a smile, and sat next to him.
Li Laoer had wiped away his tears at this moment and suppressed all the 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 were seated and tea was served.
Wang Yuan bowed his hands outside and asked Li Laoer, "This brother is really new to me, but is he from Jiangbei?"
The old man responded first, "We have been talking for a long time. This brother is really from Jiangbei. He planned to find a job and travel around, so he came to us."
Li Laoer also responded, "I originally lived in the north, but the barbarians invaded, so I moved here with them."
Wang Yuanwai didn't know what he thought of, his eyes lit up, and 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 Doctor Zhang about it, but the middle-aged man asked, "Is Wang Yuan's headache getting worse?"
Wang Yuan waved his hands and sighed, "I have an old problem with headaches, but I can still bear it. I am asking for the child at home. The child was a little weaker when he was born. He suffered from serious and minor illnesses. This time, the wind and cold lasted for half a month. I didn’t know what to do, so I thought I’d ask some doctors from the north. They said monks from outside are good at chanting. Maybe it would be better to try another doctor.”
Everyone nodded. Wang Yuanwai raised his hand to refill Li Laoer's tea and said, "Where is this brother from? As soon as I saw you, I felt familiar and close to you. Maybe we were friends in my previous life."
“My hometown is Junyang County, southwest of Kyoto.” Li Laoer used a teacup instead of a wine bowl and toasted Wang Yuanwai.
Everyone thought he was polite and courteous, but only he knew that he was honoring his elder brother, whom he had missed and missed for many years.
"You just asked Yuan Wai. You are trustworthy. I won't hide it from Yuan Wai. I do know a miracle doctor."
Wang Yuanwai looked surprised when he heard this. The old man and the middle-aged man also smiled and said, "This is really fate. Wang Yuanwai asked casually, brothers can really help."
Li Laoer nodded and responded, "I have nothing to do these days and have been walking around. A few days ago, I went to a place called Broken Gold Beach, thirty miles northeast of Xindu. There is a new hot spring village there, which is very convenient. It's beautiful." The three people except Wang Yuan nodded, "I did hear that there was such a place. I heard that it was a place where a group of foreigners settled. As a result, the hot spring was dug out and there was a quarrel in the court. ”
“It was built so quickly? 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 a sore back or a cold, you can take a dip in it and sweat. You don't need to take medicine."
What Li Laoer said was simple 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 Broken Gold Beach, and his medical skills are quite good. Even in Kyoto, no one could hire him. After he took action, he now lives in Ruijintan, and 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 check their pulses. "
“Seriously?” Wang Yuanwai was surprised, and 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 help, there are only benefits and no harm in taking a hot spring bath for children who are cold.”
Wang Yuanwai nodded, stood up, bowed his head to the ground, thanked Li Laoer solemnly, chatted a few more words, and hurried home.
Obviously, I went back to discuss with my family and planned to go to Ruijintan to give it a try.
Li Laoer slowly picked up the teacup 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. She 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 a pair!"
“No, read to big 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 was 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."
Just at this moment, Li Laoer came back. When he saw my mother when he entered the door, he shouted.
“Mom, I found my eldest brother! That person is indeed my eldest brother!”
Old Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter in surprise and stood up suddenly. However, her eyes went black because she got up so violently that she almost fell to the ground again.
Fortunately, Li Laoer stepped forward in time, supported my mother, and lowered his head to look at his niece's big, panic-stricken eyes, which made him feel even more guilty.
“Mom, blame me, blame me, I’m happy for a moment, but I’m too anxious.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. Tell me quickly. What happened to your elder brother? Didn’t he come back?”
Mrs. Li was afraid of throwing her granddaughter again, so she put her granddaughter in her arms and circled her.
After she had to twitch her head and look out the courtyard door, she was disappointed again when she saw no one.
