    After a while, a servant of the Ding family took out a small porcelain bottle on a tray.  The porcelain vase is in the shape of a gourd, with a touch of bluish white in the light green color, so you can tell that it is made of Longquan celadon without distinguishing it.  Ding Erkang took the porcelain vase and pulled it with his hand. The porcelain vase was split into two halves, and it was filled with crystal clear, slightly yellow transparent paste.

    Ding Erkang dug a fingernail-sized ointment and applied it on Du Heng's wrist wound. Du Heng immediately felt a coolness, and at the same time, he smelled a strong aroma of sesame oil in his nose.  Du Heng couldn't help asking: "It smells so good, why does it smell like sesame oil?"

    Ding Erkang smiled slightly, but did not answer, but kept spreading the plaster evenly.  After the plaster was applied, Ding Erkang gently wrapped the wound with a piece of clean gauze, and told Du Heng: "These days, the wound should not touch water, be tired, or eat any hair. If you strictly follow the doctor's orders,  A scab will form in three days, and it will heal in seven days."

    Du Heng said: "Ah, it will take seven days! What about the study tour?"

    Ding Erkang said: "It can only be postponed. We must wait at least five days for you to rest before we can go on the road. Otherwise, if you are tired, it is easy to get infected and scars will be left."

    "In the past few days, Brother Zimei can go around the nearby places with me, and feel the difference between the customs of our Linggao County and Fengtai Mansion?" Ding Erkang said.

    "Hey, Erkang, this plaster is really effective. It doesn't hurt so much now. Tell me, why is this plaster so effective?"

    Ding Erkang said: "This plaster was brought back from the south by an ancestor of my Song Dynasty. He used to be the supervisor of the army and was stationed in the south with the army. At that time, the army used firearms in battle, and soldiers were often burned.  The military doctor at that time secretly made this plaster, which was very effective. Later, my ancestors brought back the secret recipe of this plaster. If any of the villagers came to my house to ask for burns, we would treat them for free.¡±

    Du Heng jokingly said: "Oh! No wonder you kept it secret, so there is a secret recipe! Well, brother Erkang is a petty person."

    Ding Erkang hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to talk to Brother Zimei, it's because the preparation of this ointment is very cumbersome, it takes ten years, and the raw materials are rather weird. I'm afraid many people will not accept it, so it is called a secret ointment.  !"

    Du Heng asked curiously: "Oh, the raw materials are weird? It aroused my curiosity. Is it convenient for you to reveal it to Brother Wei? Don't worry, I will never make it to steal your business."

    Ding Erkang said: "The most important thing for this plaster is the main material. It is made of newly born mouse pups. They must be pups that have not yet opened their eyes and have no hair.  God, it cannot be used as medicine for one more day. Soak freshly squeezed sesame oil in a jar, seal the mouth of the jar, and leave it for ten years. One day cannot be added or less. It must not be opened within ten years, and the efficacy of the medicine will be lost once opened  Ten years later, the mouse pups in Kaifeng have been completely melted in the oil, and then peppermint oil, borneol and other dozens of traditional Chinese medicines are added, and after mixing thoroughly, it is the plaster that Zimei used today!"

    When Du Heng heard this, he quickly stuck out his tongue and said, "It's disgusting to think about making medicine with baby rats, not to mention that it will take ten years of hard work, and every day can't be more or less. I'm most afraid of rats, let alone that.  I don¡¯t even want to think about it, the cub that is so disgusting! Fortunately, you put the medicine on it before you said it. If you told me that the medicine was made of rats first, I would never let my brother give it to me.  medicine!"

    Ding Erkang laughed hahaha, "Brother Zimei, this medicine is extremely effective. Don't worry about your wrists. It will definitely keep you clean and beautiful. It will never affect your writing, marriage and childbirth!"

    Hearing Ding Erkang make fun of himself like this aroused Du Heng's "sadness". He took Erkang's hand and poured out: "My dear brother Erkang, don't talk about marrying a wife and having children.  The injury is because of this reason, you just listen to the suffering of a brother!"

    Du Heng told Ding Erkang his experiences like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, including the tragedy of his parents' marriage, including the reflection brought to him after his mother's death, including the process of his resolute resistance to his father's arranged marriage this time.  I said it again.

    After hearing this, Ding Erkang fell into deep thought. He never knew that Du Heng's situation would be so difficult. He only knew that he was a magistrate with a noble background.  He also once envied Du Heng for not caring about Jiaxuan with his hands, having servants whenever he travels, accompanying him to study at school, and never worrying about money.

    Now it seems that "one family does not know the suffering of the other family", he became deeply worried about Du Heng, and Du Heng sneaked out. His father didn't know the whereabouts of Du Heng, would he look for Du Heng all over the world?

    Ding Erkang said: "Did you leave any letters at home when you ran out?"Du Heng said: "I left a short letter, only saying that I was going to study abroad for a month, but did not specify where I was going or who I would go with. I guess my father also guessed that I was with you, and he would definitely go to the academy to inquire about it.  The boss knows my whereabouts, and he will tell my father."

    Ding Erkang said: "That's good, at least uncle knows that you are with me, you are safe, so you won't be so worried!"

    Du Heng said disheartenedly: "I really want to see if he will be anxious if I get lost, will he be worried about me? I always feel that he doesn't love my mother, and he certainly doesn't love me. Those Erping  , The child born again is his love."

    After Ding Erkang heard this, he hurriedly comforted Du Heng: "Brother Zimei, you are a concubine, how can you be compared with those concubines? Since ancient times, concubine and concubines have been different. Your father has been deeply educated by Confucianism for decades, so you will definitely not mess up the principles.  He loves you, but in a stricter way!"

    After Du Heng heard this, his mood improved, and he said, "Let's not talk about those troublesome things. I haven't visited my uncle and aunt yet. Please introduce me quickly."

    So Ding Erkang took Du Heng to his parents' residence and met them.  Ding Erkang's father was very happy. He pulled Du Heng and kept looking at his face. He looked at him and said, "We have long wanted to thank Mr. Du for his help to Erkang, but we have never had the chance to see him.  We are not very honored that Mr. Du can come to the humble house today, let my wife cook a few more dishes today, treat Mr. Du well, firstly, to clean up the dust, and secondly, to express our gratitude, how about it?"

    Du Heng quickly leaned over and made a big gift, and replied: "Don't dare to do it, uncle is too polite. Erkang usually helps me a lot, and I am very grateful to him. I feel very honored to be here today at the famous former residence of the "Three Champions"  , can I take a good look at the relics left by the ancestors of your mansion?"

    Upon hearing this, Ding's father hurriedly bowed to support Du Heng, and said to Ding Erkang, "Erkang, you must treat Mr. Du well. If there is any negligence, I will definitely be held accountable!"

    Ding Erkang bowed and said, "My son knows, please rest assured, father!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
