Chapter 2: Doctor, Please
It was noon when Meng Xiaotian woke up, he felt weak all over his body, and his head was splitting, this was the sequelae of "Burning Blood Secret Technique", it would be fine in two days, and he felt that the wound on his leg had been simply treated, although it was still very painful, but it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, it should be fine, looking at the tattered clothes that were propped up, Meng Xiaotian smiled bitterly, took out the spare clothes to change into, got up and walked out of the hut.

"Hey, the kid woke up, it's really wild today, it's a man." A stout guard with a spear in the corridor walked over and patted Meng Xiaotian on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Brother Qiang, you lighten up, don't I was not bitten to death by the wind wolf, but was slapped to death by you?" Meng Xiaotian's body is very weak now, and when he was photographed, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Boy, you're still young, don't fight so hard in the future." The guard named Brother Qiang hurriedly helped Meng Xiaotian and said with concern: "This is the reward that Steward Zhang asked me to give you." ”
Brother Qiang gave Meng Xiaotian five gold coins, which Meng Xiaotian exchanged for his life, five gold coins is a huge amount of money, you must know that one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, ordinary people generally use copper coins to consume, and the annual expenditure will not exceed one gold.
Meng Xiaotian put the gold coin in his personal money bag, waved goodbye to Brother Qiang, and limped out of the Colosseum of the imperial capital and walked towards Furong Avenue
Furong Avenue in the south district of Yanjing City, is the most prosperous commercial avenue in Yanjing City, the street is lined with shops, the shop rent here is very expensive, every inch of land is gold, who has two or three shops on Furong Avenue, then you can eat and drink for a lifetime, most of the pedestrians on the street are gorgeously dressed, either rich or expensive, here is the gold cave of the nobles, the poor people rarely come here, because they can't afford to consume at all.
Meng Xiaotian was wearing a patched coarse linen robe, limping on the bustling Furong Avenue, somewhat out of place, and the nobles in elegant clothes who walked by him cast contemptuous glances from time to time, these Meng Xiaotian was used to it, but there were some young girls of the same age as him, after seeing him, they actually covered their noses with their Qianqianyu hands, and the Jinpa in the other hand also waved a few times in front of their noses, and at the same time looked at him with disgust, which made the young Meng Xiaotian a little self-degraded, Meng Xiaotian, who dared to rush up to fight in the face of the fierce wind wolf, was a little afraid to look directly at those young girls, and hurriedly walked away with his head down, and the shrill laughter of the girls came from behind him.
In an uproar, the lively street suddenly quieted down, and the dense crowd automatically stood on both sides, and even those noble lords put away their usual arrogance, put their hands on their chests, bent over, and performed aristocratic etiquette.
In the middle of the road came two young men wearing white Taoist robes, and the young man's chest was tattooed with a blooming lotus flower, the lotus flower had seven petals, and the color was different, which was the symbol of the Immortal Academy, and both of them were apprentices of the Seven Immortal Academy.
The girls who laughed at Meng Xiaotian just now put on a delicate posture, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, showing the softness of the girl to the fullest, eager to be looked at by the two teenagers a few more times, and many students who came to take the exam shouted 'Senior Brother' affectionately, for the enthusiasm of the pedestrians around them, the two teenagers seemed calm, it seemed that they should enjoy the worship of the people around them, because they were apprentices of the Seven Immortals Academy, although they were not yet immortal masters who could fly to the sky, but they were also different from mortals.
"This time, the Seven Immortals Academy is recruiting apprentices, and I must be admitted." Meng Xiaotian clenched his fists and shouted in his heart, this is also the wish of thousands of young people in Yanjing City, but it is a pity that the Seven Immortals Academy recruits disciples very strictly, there are many rules and restrictions, there are too many people, and finally left Yanjing City gloomily.
When the apprentice of the Seven Immortals Academy walked over, the usual hustle and bustle returned to the surroundings, Meng Xiaotian also walked forward, in the weapon shop on the street, there were all kinds of weapons on display, including the master-level long knife, Meng Xiaotian's previous knife was broken in two, and he also needed a well-made long knife, but thinking about the price of these high-quality weapons, Meng Xiaotian could only retract his gaze and turn his head away.
In the middle of Furong Avenue, there is a medical hall covering a wide area in the most prosperous area, the signboard at the door reads "Bao Zhilin" three gilt characters, this is the best medical hall in Yanjing City, and it is also the most expensive medical hall, the minimum consumption has to be a gold coin, but there are still many nobles who come here to see a doctor, because the chief doctor of Bao Zhilin' Huang Feihong's is a registered disciple of an elder of the Seven Immortals Sect's Alchemy Sect, and his medical skills to cure diseases and save people are immortal powers, which can live the dead, flesh and bones, but if he is not a nobleman who has reached a certain status, it is difficult to invite Dr. Huang to see a doctor no matter how rich he is.
Meng Xiaotian walked to Bao Zhilin, touched the gold coin on his chest, and walked in.
There were four or five apprentices in Bao Zhilin, they had seen too many big people, and after looking at Meng Xiaotian's shabby dress, they knew that this was a poor ghost, ignoring him, and they were busy with their own things.
Meng Xiaotian was not angry and walked directly to the counter, took out two gold coins from the money bag, and said to a girl wearing a pink pomegranate skirt with a round face and big eyes at the counter: "I want to ask a doctor to come to the doctor." ”
Regarding the rules in Baozhilin, Meng Xiaotian had already inquired clearly, the outpatient fee was two gold coins, and the medicine was counted separately, and ordinary families could not afford this price at all.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and looked at Meng Xiaotian's dress again, not like a person who can take out two gold coins casually, could it be that this is a nobleman with quirks, and everyone has it these days.
"Okay, Childe." The girl smiled sweetly at Meng Xiaotian, turned her head and shouted to the apprentice in the hall, "Xiaofan, go to the back hall and ask for Dr. Han." ”
Not long after the apprentice named 'Xiao Fan' arrived in the back hall, an old man with white hair, a ruddy complexion, and a strong spirit walked out, and behind him was Xiao Fan, who was carrying an apricot yellow medicine box.
"Doctor Han, it's this son who wants to ask you to go to the doctor." The round-faced girl stood up and said very respectfully.
"Well, Childe will lead the way." After looking at Meng Xiaotian's shabby clothes and learning that Meng Xiaotian came on foot, Dr. Han frowned, turned back to Xiaofan and said, "Let Niu Er drive my carriage over." ”
After a while, Dr. Han's exclusive carriage rushed over, and Dr. Han asked, "Childe, where are you going?" ”
"Hulu Alley in the North District." Meng Xiaotian said.
Hearing that he was going to the North District, Dr. Han frowned again, his face was full of unhappiness, but thinking of Bao Zhilin's rules, he couldn't say anything, so he just ordered Niu Er, the driver who got off the car, and called Meng Xiaotian to get in the car together.
The carriage was very spacious, Doctor Han closed his eyes and recuperated since he got into the carriage, without saying a word, Doctor Han didn't speak, and apprentice Xiaofan didn't dare to speak, his eyes looked out of the window, and he looked at Meng Xiaotian with contempt from time to time.
The atmosphere in the carriage was very dull, Meng Xiaotian didn't care, he closed his eyes and thought about his grandfather's 'Meng Fanyu's injury, grandpa's illness was very strange, you must know that grandpa's internal strength is profound, a month ago, he could split the six bricks stacked together with one palm, and he could kick the big tree with a thick bowl mouth by raising his leg casually, why was he so weak overnight that he couldn't even speak, and recently he was in a coma from time to time, when Meng Fanyu was awake, Meng Xiaotian also asked him, but Meng Fanyu just shook his head and didn't say anything.
The carriage stopped in the gourd alley, in front of a dilapidated house that was leaking everywhere.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Meng Xiaotian heard the crying of the little girl from the house, and he was in a hurry, ignoring the wound on his leg, and limped into the hut.
The room was very simple, there was a wooden bed against the wall, covered with a thick layer of straw, an old man with gray hair and wrinkles, lying on the bed, there was a pool of uncleaned blood on the floor at the head of the bed, a little girl of four or five years old was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the unconscious old man worriedly, crying in a low voice.
"Brother, grandpa vomited blood again and fainted." Seeing the boy come in, the little girl seemed to see the savior, her eyes were red, and she cried.
"Xiaoyu don't worry, I invited a doctor from Baozhitang, and after showing it to grandpa, grandpa will definitely get better." The young man touched the head of the little girl 'Meng Xiaoyu' and said comfortingly.
"Great, grandpa will be fine," said the little girl happily when she heard that her brother had invited a doctor.
"Huh! Brother, you hurt your leg. "Meng Xiaoyu found the bloody strip of cloth on his brother 'Meng Xiaotian''s leg, and he was about to cry again with worry.
"It's okay, Xiaoyu, it's just a skin injury, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, it will be fine in a few days." Meng Xiaotian was afraid that his sister would be worried, so he explained lightly.
Meng Xiaoyu can't remember how many times his brother has come back with an injury like this, sometimes for a small bag of rice, sometimes for a small piece of meat, this time because he wants to ask for a doctor, Meng Xiaoyu suddenly wants to grow up quickly, so that he can go to work to earn money, help his brother, and not let his brother be so tired.
