Chapter 7 Looking for the Master
The uncle is not at home, the eldest grandmother has spoken, and no one dares not to listen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Soon, several people prepared the sedan chair, the windows of the sedan chair were sealed, and several layers of cotton were added to it. The eldest grandmother sat up, and the two of them carried it one after the other.
This old man is not a rich man after all, and he can't afford to hire a special sedan chair driver. The two subordinates carried the uncle many times as sedan chair drivers on weekdays, but rarely carried the sedan chair out when it was cold. There was some snow on the ground outside, and it creaked when stepping on it.
The eldest grandmother sat inside, the sedan chair was dangling, and her heart was also dangling.
She didn't worry about her master's safety at all, and wished that her master would die outside like this and run the family by herself. Back then, she was a generous girl, but she was dragged over to worship heaven and earth by this butcher who sold meat. Now that there is such a good thing, it is too late for the big grandmother to be happy.
"You say, will the master be okay?" The eldest grandmother asked in the sedan chair.
"The old man is auspicious, and it must be fine."
It was Lao Hao who replied, he handed over the affairs of the family to others and followed him out. The old man already has something, and if the eldest grandmother has something to do, I'm afraid she will have to repent for the rest of her life.
Hearing this, the eldest grandmother nodded and stopped talking. I secretly said in my heart: If the master dies, I will kill you first when I go back.
Carrying the sedan chair staggering forward, the two sedan chair drivers in front and back tried their best to go forward with drowsiness. Lao Hao on the side and the grandmother sitting in the car each have their own thoughts. Especially Lao Hao, he was thinking nonsense as he walked forward, he didn't know where the old man had gone, if there was no Baicaotang, his sin would be great.
Step by step, the group walked to the door of Baicaotang.
Baicaotang is one of the most famous medical centers here, and it has a certain relationship with this Baicaotang when Yang Tongue Pubu chose to buy a house nearby.
The doors are concealed, and the signboard outside reads 'Rejuvenation of Wonderful Hands' to highlight the fame of the place. Those four big characters were given by the county magistrate, and in this county, they can boast for a lifetime.
The grandmother respectfully invited the grandmother out of the sedan chair and pushed the door open, and the lobby inside was empty. Only one person sat at a table, lit by a dim oil lamp to read.
The light of the oil lamp is so subtle that it looks like inferior kerosene. Lao Hao frowned, not knowing why he had to light a lamp to read in the middle of the day.
The man stood up and said in a trembling voice, "Guys, what's the matter?" ”
"I'll pick up our uncle." Lao Hao said recklessly.
Lao Hao deliberately said vaguely in order to scare the people in the hospital. He didn't know if the uncle was here, so after saying that, no matter who the uncle was, that person would definitely have to come and see him. In this way, even if your uncle is really not here, you have to have an explanation.
When the man heard this, his face was depressed, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and said, "I don't know which uncle you are looking for?" ”
"Presumptuous! Is that what you ask? Lao Hao replied.
The man smiled, sat down again, and said, "I have two patients here, one of whom came yesterday morning, and it was an emergency. The clothes on his body are very simple, I'm afraid they don't look like it. The other one came that night, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and he looked like a master. ”
"Oh? Why don't you take us there? ”
When Lao Hao heard this, he let go of his heart. The one who came that night is estimated to be his own uncle.
The man stretched and said, "But after the uncle came, he didn't want to cooperate, and he beat and scolded our people." Now he is locked in the house in the backyard, and if you want to see it, bring up the silver first. If you don't pay for this medicine, you can't see it. ”
Lao Hao was a little angry, he didn't expect that there were such presumptuous people in a small medical hall. But he knew that the inscription given by the county master at the door was not a joke.
Lao Hao thought for a while and asked, "How much?" ”
"Five taels." The man said.
This asking price is completely a lion's mouth, this Baicaotang has superb medical skills, and he wants a lot of silver. Lao Hao gritted his teeth and turned his gaze to the big grandmother on the side.
The eldest grandmother closed her eyes and said, "Whether you are dead or alive, you must always meet each other." ”
Lao Hao understood and took out five taels of silver. A heavy pocket was handed to the man.
The man took it, nodded, and said, "Come with me." ”
After following in, Lao Hao and his wife, and the remaining two palanquin drivers stood outside and watched the palanquin.
The front yard looks very narrow, and when he arrived in the backyard, Lao Hao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the back to be so big.
There are a few rooms in the backyard, which are much smaller than the usual rooms. It is estimated that this is the place where patients are treated, and the room is only the size of two people entering and leaving.
The man led the two men to the door of a room and said, "This old man is in this room, and when he came last night, he was covered in blood, and he beat and scolded us. It's hard to put him to sleep again, and if you wake him up, remember not to bother me. ”
With that, the man was gone.
Lao Hao was disappointed for a while, pushed open the door, and respectfully invited the eldest grandmother into the house. The eldest grandmother snorted coldly and walked in.
The room was cramped, and the grandmother looked at the dirty straw mat when she went in. The one lying on the straw mat is really his own uncle.
"Master, are you alright?" The eldest grandmother asked.
Asking is asking, through the air, Lao Hao heard the impatience in the grandmother's words.
Old Hao Ke was not affected by this at all, and he felt more and more strange. Uncle came here, why was there no news for a night. Now there is only the uncle in the house, where did the guy who brought the uncle go?
The old man opened his eyes slightly, and his throat rang one after another, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.
The eldest grandmother glanced at Lao Hao, but Lao Hao was stunned and didn't notice it.
"Lao Hao!" The big grandmother shouted.
"Huh?" Lao Hao came to his senses at this time, suddenly understood what the eldest grandmother meant, and hurriedly walked out of the house.
It was very cold outside. Lao Hao didn't know what the grandmother was going to do. For many years, he only knew how to follow the rules, and he had long forgotten why he obeyed the rules. It was boring to stand in the distance, and Lao Hao walked around, ready to take a look at these dilapidated but neat huts.
There are only four huts in the entire backyard, and the overall appearance is not much different from the size of the front yard, but there are more rooms that seem to be an eyesore. Lao Hao walked around and found that almost every room was locked, and only one room had a door that was hidden.
"Huh?"
Lao Hao's curiosity surged up all of a sudden, and there was still an unlocked door here. He thought about it, but still stood where he was.
The door seemed to understand what he meant, and he slowly opened it, and a person came out.
