Chapter 141: Records of Experiences in the Half City (I)
"Strange thing, how can you not wake up?" The old doctor anxiously changed a golden needle, and then changed an acupoint on Yang Ziyun's body, and pierced it.
"What the hell is going on? Can't wake up?" said the old doctor, with a slight figure on his forehead.
Seeing that the long-term treatment was fruitless, the old doctor turned around and asked, "Xiao Dongzi, where did you save the people from?"
"What's wrong with Bianhe? Still can't wake up?"
Chen Dong's face was full of concern, and he took a few steps forward, but stopped behind the old doctor, not daring to step forward to disturb.
"Doctor, how is she?"
Xu Chen also came over, but saw that Yang Ziyun's face was still pale, and her lips were becoming more and more bruised.
"Strange! It's really strange! How can it not work?" The old doctor didn't pay attention to the others, and said to himself: "Look at this girl's body, as well as the calluses on her hands, she should be a practitioner, she must have learned some method of holding her breath, and she subconsciously used it after falling into the water, but the method of pricking the acupoint with a golden needle was used, why can't she wake up?"
"Master, medicine...... Here comes the medicine!" a boy came running from the backyard with a bowl of soup and medicine in his hand, and walked cautiously over.
"Feed her!" the old doctor waved.
A bowl of soup and medicine was fed carefully, but Yang Ziyun's face still did not change at all!
"This ...... What the hell is going on?" the old doctor couldn't take it anymore and cried out.
All the means were exhausted, but the patient still did not react at all. For the first time in his life, the old doctor had doubts about his medical skills.
"I have also taken the best medicine to nourish the vitality, you should give me a reaction!" The old doctor scratched his head with both hands, his white hair became messy, but he still stared at Yang Ziyun on the couch, and kept wandering around in front of the couch, with words in his mouth.
The onlookers must be familiar with the old doctor, and the old doctor's usual reaction is beyond everyone's expectations, and the onlookers don't dare to say a word at this time, for fear of disturbing the old doctor's thoughts.
"Doctor, she ......" Seeing this old doctor like this, Xu Chen couldn't calm down anymore, his voice trembled, and he asked blankly: "Is there anything wrong with her......?"
"What's the call!!," the old doctor cursed, and couldn't help but curse.
"That's good...... That's good...... "As long as people don't die, there is hope, Xu Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's too early to be happy!" The old doctor snorted coldly and glanced back at Xu Chen: "Death is not death, but if you want to wake up, it's not so easy!"
"Huh?" Xu Chen stood still, looking at the old doctor blankly.
It's just that after the old doctor glanced at Xu Chen, he turned around again and continued to study Yang Ziyun's condition.
"This ......"
"Little brother, don't mind, Lao Antou is like this. However, his medical skills are well-known in the city, and he can take good care of many diseases that cultivators can't see!"
Chen Dong on the side saw Xu Chen's appearance and was afraid that he would be worried, so he comforted him.
Although Xu Chen was worried in his heart, he was not familiar with his life, so if he didn't stay here, where should he go to seek medical treatment?
"Let's go! I'm not doing business today, I still don't believe it, I won't be able to cure this female doll?" The old doctor pondered for a while, but to no avail, looked back at the crowded crowd in the infirmary, and then became angry and drove everyone out.
"This ...... But ......" Xu Chen was in a hurry when he saw that he was also kicked out.
"What's this, that, that! Your daughter-in-law, leave me here, I promise to help you heal her!"
After the old doctor finished speaking, he left without looking back, and then two boys came out, closed the door of the shop, and hung a sign saying that the clinic was closed.
"This ......" Xu Chen didn't know much about the old doctor, so he had to turn his head to look at Chen Dong.
Chen Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry! Lao An Tou has made a promise, since he has spoken, he will definitely be able to cure your daughter-in-law." ”
"Yes...... But ......" Xu Chen was a little embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed.
"But what?" Chen Dong was really enthusiastic and hurriedly asked.
"But...... I don't have any money......"
No matter what era or region, seeing a doctor is always a very expensive thing, Xu Chen has no understanding of the prices in this area, but no matter how much it takes, it is not something he can afford with his penniless current situation.
"Haha, I said what are you worried about, so that's the case!" Chen Dong laughed, patted Xu Chen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry! Your daughter-in-law doesn't have to spend money to see a doctor!"
"What? It's so good, it doesn't cost money to see a doctor?" Xu Chen exclaimed in surprise, it doesn't cost anything to see a doctor, and few countries in the future can do such a good social welfare.
"Where do you want to go? We people usually cost money to see a doctor, but your daughter-in-law is special. ”
"Special, what's special?"
"The city lord's mansion has a rule, no matter who has an accident in Biancheng and is rescued by someone, he will be sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and the hospital must ensure that he does his best to heal, and he will not charge money. ”
"Doing this loss-making business, wouldn't the medical hall have to lose? And if there is no income, how can the doctors of the medical hall do their best to heal?"
"How could it be? Not to mention the other medical centers in the city, even Lao Antou, he can receive an allowance from the City Lord's Mansion every year, which is specially used to treat these wounded. ”
"Well...... That's a good idea, but without regulation, who knows where the money is going to be spent?"
When Xu Chen said this, it was completely subconscious, and he didn't realize that it was wrong until he said it.
Sure enough, Chen Dong glanced at Xu Chen in surprise and muttered, "You little doll, your mind is quite heavy!"
"Not to mention that no one in the city will do this at all, even if such a guy who lacks virtue comes out, he will never escape the eyes of the city lord, you know, our city lord is a great master in the late Yuan Infant period!"
When Xu Chen heard this, he realized in his heart: "It turns out that it is still because of fear!"
In social management, instead of expecting a person's self-consciousness, it is far less effective than setting up supervision to make people afraid, after all, human nature is always selfish.
This is Xu Chen's consistent cognition, which cannot be said to be right or wrong, and it is related to the era in which Xu Chen lived and the education he received. And now he still thinks so, as for what Chen Dong said, Xu Chen is only regarded as a polite and rhetorical statement.
"By the way, baby, you don't have a place to live, right?" Thinking of his guess just now, Chen Dong asked with a smile.
Xu Chen nodded hurriedly.
"This is easy to do!" Chen Dong smiled heartily and said in a big way: "You just come with us, let's live with us first! I think you two must be staying in this city for a while, you can't do any work, you have to eat!"
"Sure enough, I said, how could there be such a zealous person. For some reason, Xu Chen had a feeling that he had met a nursery. It's just that now that he is penniless and unfamiliar with life, he can only come according to other people's arrangements.
"The kid goes out for the first time, and he doesn't understand anything, so it's better to let Brother Chen arrange it!"
Xu Chen is ready to be slaughtered and stabbed, no matter what, he has to live, right?
"Haha, okay!"
Chen Dong's smile made Xu Chen's heart even heavier.
"It's not a big job, you will rest in your residence for a day today, and you will follow us to work on the dock from tomorrow, and you won't be able to earn a lot of money, but three meals a day, Yun Ye is full, as for the place to live, it is enough to pay a few taels of gold every month!"
"A few taels of gold...... It's enough......" Xu Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, in the outside world, one or two pieces of gold can be worth dozens of dollars, and a few taels of gold in a month, the best location in Chang'an City does not have this price.
Xu Chen didn't know how much Chen Dong had blackened him inside, but now that he was weak, he could only accept it silently.
Seeing that Xu Chen agreed, Chen Dong really said excitedly: "Haha, okay! We have one more brother from now on!"
"Hehe, yes, you have another source of wealth!" Xu Chen was scolding in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Let's go, I'll take you to where you live first!" As he spoke, Chen Dong patted Xu Chen's shoulder and led Xu Chen towards the east.
"The place we live in is in the east of the city, not only is the rent cheap, but the place is also big!"
"Hehe, aren't all low-end residential areas like this!"
"It's just that it's close to the deserted city, so there are fewer people, but that's fine, it's quiet, isn't it?"
"Come on, it's directly from a low-end house to an urban-rural junction!"
Chen Dong was enthusiastically introducing the place of residence he was going to take Xu Chen all the way, but Xu Chen, who had a bad heart, was tired of how he looked at it, and gradually even the little good feeling just now was wiped out.
"Huh?
Chen Dong was chattering like a broken thought on Xu Chen's right, Xu Chen didn't want to listen, so he pinned his head to the other side, but he happened to see an amazing scene in a shop that looked like a blacksmith shop opposite!
I saw that in the small storefront, there was a stove, and all kinds of ironware were placed by the stove, both finished and iron, but there was not much difference from the blacksmith shops in the outside world.
However, a sturdy blacksmith beside the stove took out a piece of red-hot iron from the furnace and squirted at it...... A mouthful of fire!
That's right, it's really a mouthful of fire!
Xu Chen's eyes were round, and he could see it clearly, thinking that he was spitting wine from his mouth into the flames like the outside world juggling.
However, the pillar of fire that Xu Chen saw obviously extended from the depths of the blacksmith's throat, and the blacksmith's mouth was wide and huge, Xu Chen could never be mistaken!
"This ...... This...... He...... He can breathe fire?"
Xu Chen was shocked, and after a while, he suddenly thought that he was now in the realm of cultivators, and it didn't seem too unusual to breathe fire.
"Brother Chen, could it be that the blacksmith shop was opened by a cultivator?
Xu Chen also got some information about the cultivator from Wan An, plus the information obtained from the torture of Wu Yan at the beginning, speaking of which, Xu Chen is not ignorant of the matter of the cultivator.
"What? How is it possible! How can that kind of place be considered a refining workshop!" Chen Dong laughed when he heard this, and then said: "That iron head is just a person who can make fire! How can you talk about cultivating the truth!"
"The Able?"
Xu Chen suddenly felt that his head was not enough......
