The one tael of silver given by the old Zhang family, seven taels of mortgaged land, plus the two taels taken by Chunquan, finally raised enough ten taels of silver. Before dawn the next day, Shumin got up and cleaned up briefly, and then carried Hui'er on his back and took two roasted sweet potatoes on the road.

This village is called Baili Village, which refers to the distance from the village to Linjiang Mansion, and to Linjiang Town is actually more than ten miles away. Originally, she could entrust Hui'er to the care of her aunt by grabbing medicine, but now Hui'er's situation is not optimistic, and Shumin doesn't dare to let her leave her sight for too long. And I'm afraid it's hard to believe Hui'er's situation, she thinks it's better to go to the town and see the doctor again.

Roasted sweet potatoes are eaten on the road, although Hui'er is still young, but carrying a child on her back for more than ten miles, Shumin is afraid that she will be overwhelmed, after all, she herself is not well.

Finally arrived in town before noon, Shumin turned Hui'er, who was asleep on her back, woke her up, and carefully put her down. "Are you hungry, do you want to eat a bowl of chaos first?" There was a snack bar on the side of the road that sold Chaos, and Shumin remembered that the chaos at home was very delicious, so he asked Hui'er. But Hui'er was still glazed and didn't react, so Shumin had to lead her forward.

Shumin only needed a bowl of chaos, and fed her one bite at a time. The boss was very good, and when he saw Hui'er's strange appearance, he accosted Shumin, "This kid is sick, right?"

"yes, I'm bringing her to town to see a doctor. Shumin replied.

"To see a doctor, you have to go to Derentang, where the eldest lady is good, and often gives us ordinary people free medicine. The boss said familiarly, "Don't go to the Rejuvenation Hall, the doctor's eyes there are above the top, and the medicine prescribed by us ordinary people can't afford it!"

"Thank you owner, I remember. Shumin is very grateful to the boss, she rarely comes to the town, and she is really blind when the doctor is good.

After eating Chaos, Shumin walked towards Derentang under the guidance of his boss.

Derentang is very large, opened on the most prosperous Tongxiao Road, and at the end of Tongxiao Road is a big house that only rich people can afford. Tongde Hall is open at the end of the road, while Huichun Hall is open at the end of the road. Both of them are very lively, but the guests who enter and leave the Rejuvenation Hall are obviously better dressed than those in Tongde Hall. Shu Min thought about it, and still led Hui'er into Tongde Hall.

"I'm here to grab the medicine," Shumin looked at the high counter and looked up to see inside.

"Does this aunt have any prescriptions?" asked one of the rather young apprentices politely.

"Yes. Shumin hurriedly took out the prescription and handed it over.

The apprentice looked at the prescription, frowned, and didn't grab the medicine for a long time. It was a moment before he asked

"Dare to ask who prescribed this medicine? ”

"This is the prescription of Dr. Hu in Baili Village, which is for my daughter. But there's something wrong with this prescription?" Shu Min asked with some concern when he saw him frowning.

"Oh, no. There is no problem with the prescription. The apprentice smiled, "I'll have to ask my master to see it, it's not an ordinary prescription." This aunt, please wait. ”

"Oh, good. Shu Min responded.

After a while, an old man with a childish face walked out from behind the medicine table, followed by the apprentice just now.

"This is Dr. Hu, the sitting doctor of our Tongde Hall. The apprentice said.

"Hello doctor. Shumin hurriedly saluted

"Okay, you're the aunt who grabbed the medicine?" the doctor touched his beard and asked with a smile and kindness, "This medicine is for the children around you?"

"Yes, Dr. Hu. Shumin hurriedly pushed Hui'er to the doctor. Dr. Hu took advantage of the situation and took her little hand and carefully checked the pulse. Shumin didn't dare to disturb him, and stood quietly aside with the apprentice.

Dr. Hu asked Shumin some questions while taking the pulse, including how Hui'er got sick, and Shumin picked up important answers one by one.

It took a long time before the doctor withdrew his hand, looked at Hui'er's eyes and tongue again, and finally spoke to Hui'er to see Hui'er's reaction.

"The boy was very weak, and he was very frightened. This physical problem is easy to treat, but this mental problem, the old man has no choice. ”

"Huh, has Hui'er been so stupid all her life?" Shumin asked nervously.

"Not really, when she gets better, her spirit will recover, but it's hard to say how it will change compared to before. The doctor comforted.

After listening to the doctor's words, Shumin was both worried and happy, as long as Hui'er was by her side, I believe she would slowly untie the child's heart knot and make her completely better.

"Doctor, is there a problem with my medicine? It's a family heirloom from Dr. Hu in our village," Shumin said.

"Hmph, what kind of heirloom, the ability to learn is only a scratch of the surface, holding a prescription and saying that it is an heirloom!" Listening to Shumin talking about Doctor Hu in the village, Old Doctor Hu was angry. Shu Min suddenly remembered that both of them were surnamed Hu, and he didn't know what the relationship was between the two, but Dr. Hu was so good that he helped himself, and when he heard the doctor say this, Shu Min also began to be upset

"Dr. Hu often treats people for free on weekdays, and everyone in our area respects him very much. ”

The old man saw that Shumin said good things for his unfilial son, and his face improved.

"This prescription is used by those nobles in the palace, and this girl's situation is also applicable, but there is a medicine in it: the fifty-year-old ginseng needs to be changed, and it can be used for ten years. The girl is still young, and some things are too much. The old doctor has a lot of research on pharmacology, Kan Kan said. "Ten years of ginseng medicine is soothing, you need to make up for a while, so I will give you six doses of medicine first, and see if you need to continue to eat after eating. ”

"How many taels of silver do I need to take six pills?" I only brought ten taels of silver" Shumin was shy and a little embarrassed.

"Six doses of medicine are a total of six taels of silver, and today's consultation fee will be waived. The old doctor said

"Is it only six taels?"

"Why are you still too little? The price of 50-year-old ginseng is more than 10 times higher than that of 10 years, and I will replace it with 10-year ginseng, so I will naturally use less money. The doctor explained with a smile.

Shumin suddenly realized.

As he spoke, the apprentice had already wrapped all the medicines, tied the three red ropes into a bundle, and handed a total of two bundles to Shu Min, who quickly thanked and paid the silver.

"Fry three bowls of water into one bowl of water and simmer. A pair of medicine can be fried up to three times, one bowl a day, and one pair for three days, don't make a mistake. The old doctor finally told in detail.

Shumin hurriedly thanked the old doctor, took Hui'er and prepared to leave.

"If you see the doctor Hu in your village, let him come to Tongde Hall in time. The old doctor said with a deep sigh.

"Well, I'll take your old words with me. Shu Min responded, but secretly guessed the relationship between the two in his heart.

After Shumin left, the old doctor touched his beard, looked into the distance with his eyes and sighed: After so many years, can't you still let go of it in your heart?

Because it cost six taels of silver to catch the medicine, Shumin still has four taels on his body now, thinking that there are still a lot of things missing at home, so he took Hui'er to walk around, bought some oil and salt, and pulled two pieces of cloth for Hui'er to make clothes, and bought all kinds of snacks.

Now she is carrying two big packages, and it looks very cumbersome to hold Hui'er.

When you go back, you have to see if there is an ox cart, and you will definitely not be able to walk on your own. Shu Min thought about it and walked towards the city gate, where the ox carts usually leaned against it.

But today, he didn't see a single ox cart, so Shumin had to unload the package, take a handkerchief, and gently wipe Hui'er's sweat.

Hoping for luck, there will be an ox cart passing by later, Shu Min secretly prayed in his heart.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves flew by, and a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Hui'er's eyes, she shook off Shumin's hand and ran in the direction of the horse's hooves.

Riding a horse was a young man, who had just gotten a BMW and couldn't wait to get up and running down the street, and along the way, people avoided it, and I don't know how many people's belongings were knocked over.

At this moment, Hui'er suddenly rushed out of the road, startling the horse's front feet up, and the horse's feet were about to fall on Hui'er.

When it was too late, a vigorous figure flew through the air, and one heel snatched the reins of the horse from the young man's hand, and turned the horse's upper body in the direction of the horse's body, and the horse's hooves grazed Hui'er's face and landed firmly on the ground.

Shumin's heart slowed down by half a beat when he saw this scene, and he immediately pounced and pulled Hui'er closer to his arms.

Some people around applauded, the scene just now was really thrilling and exciting, and at the last moment, the strong man who turned the tide immediately won a lot of applause.

But these cheers were harsh in the ears of the young man, and in annoyance, he raised his whip and threw it at Shumin's mother and daughter.

Shumin subconsciously hugged Hui'er into his arms and met the whip with his back.

But the pain in thought did not fall, and the whip was pulled by the strong man again.

"Bold, do you know who this boy is!" said the young man angrily

"It doesn't matter who you are, the court has already ordered that no one is allowed to ride a horse on the street, unless you are still young, otherwise you will be sent to the government. "The strong man was not threatened in the slightest. With a slight pull, the boy fell off his horse. It didn't take long for two entourages to squeeze out of the crowd dressed up and hurriedly help the boy up.

"You wait, I won't spare you" The young man pushed away to help his family, got up by himself, and said ruthlessly to the strong man. Then clap your hands and walk away.

One of the housekeepers in the back hurried to lead the horse, and the other followed early.

Seeing that the perpetrator left, the crowd slowly dispersed.
