When the Zhang family left, Jiang Wanbai leaned over to Old Man Zhang and looked at him carefully. The face was gray, there was no vitality to see, and the chest was slightly undulating, but there was no strength at all, and it was particularly long, which made people wonder if they would be bulging next time after this low.

Old man Zhang's situation, I'm afraid it's not very good, Jiang Wan said in a white heart.

Just as Jiang Wanbai was engrossed in checking Old Man Zhang's situation, there were footsteps and talking outside.

"Yuanshu, it's not that I don't want to save your father, you also know that your father's illness has to be taken care of, and good medicine is used to strengthen the foundation, but which of these two things doesn't cost money. I don't want to talk about the situation of your family, but you also know, your father is like this now, and he is suffering from it!

If you want me to say, it's better to ......" a male voice that sounded like a doctor.

"Doctor Meng, please hurry up, my father really can't wait." Zhang Yuanshu's voice was hoarse.

But the so-called Doctor Meng didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, listening to the voice, he seemed to be standing at the door, "Yuan Shu, I told you this for your good." Think about it, your father's situation can be saved once, but he can't be saved a second time, rather than ending up with two talents, it is better to choose the one who can get it.

I think if your father knew, he wouldn't blame you, so you might as well let him go in peace. ”

Dr. Meng's words seemed to poke at Zhang Yuanshu's heart, and there was silence outside. Jiang Wanbai listened inside, and when she wanted to stand up, she immediately paused, in fact, she understood Dr. Meng's words very well.

Not to mention that in ancient times, when the problem of food and clothing had not been solved, even in modern times, how many people had no money to treat them when they got sick, so they could only survive, and how many families who were originally quite wealthy turned into poverty overnight due to illness.

How many people do not hesitate to sell their dignity and body in order to treat their families, and how many people who are seriously ill are afraid of affecting their families and choose to leave silently or die, the news is broadcast almost every day, and Jiang Wanbai is almost numb when she sees it.

This is still true in modern times, let alone in ancient times. Jiang Wanbai pricked up her ears and listened to the words outside, she wanted to know how this Yuan Book would be chosen.

"Yuanshu, I heard that your daughter-in-law's life in her mother's house is not having a good time, her family is forcing her to marry, now that you have the money, you should hurry up and bring your daughter-in-law back, and the family will live a good life, otherwise it will ......" Dr. Meng was still persuading Zhang Yuanshu bitterly.

Suddenly, there was a "poof" sound outside, and then Zhang Yuanshu's voice, "Doctor Meng, please save my father, please save him." As soon as the words fell, there were two more "bang" * sounds hitting the ground, and it seemed that Zhang Yuanshu was kowtowing to Dr. Meng.

"What are you doing, get up." Doctor Meng seemed to be in a hurry.

"Doctor Meng, please save my father." Zhang Yuanshu's voice was full of crying, and it could be seen how anxious he was.

"You...... Ay! Doctor Meng's sigh, as soon as his voice fell, a middle-aged man with a medicine box entered the room, and the man seemed a little surprised when he saw Jiang Wanbai, "Are you?" ”

Jiang Wanbai hurriedly stood up, "You are Dr. Meng, I am the Zhang family's in-laws, you come and see my in-laws, he doesn't seem to be very good." With that, Jiang Wanbai moved to the side and gave up her position to Dr. Meng.

The Zhang family has only one son and one daughter, the son Zhang Yuanshu married the girl Meng from the village, and the daughter married to the Tian family more than ten miles away, Dr. Meng is from the village, Jiang Wanbai said this, he immediately guessed Jiang Wanbai's identity.

Jiang Wanbai actually took the trouble to come to see Old Man Zhang, and Dr. Meng immediately looked up to her by two points, nodded politely to her, and he hurriedly went over and touched Old Man Zhang's pulse.

After touching the pulse, he touched the neck of the old man Zhang again, and after touching the neck, he turned the old man's eyelids with his hand, and then shook his head helplessly.

As soon as Zhang Yuanshu came in, he saw such a scene, and immediately asked in a trembling voice, "My father?" ”

"Time, life!" Doctor Meng sighed, "Your father only has one breath left now, even if I prescribe a prescription for him, I'm afraid he won't have the life to wait until this medicine is decoctioned." Yuanshu, you better hurry up and prepare for the future! ”

Zhang Yuanshu's body has always been a loss, just now he was in a hurry, running, and kowtowing, his eyes were already a little black, as soon as he heard Dr. Meng's words, he almost immediately, his eyes rolled and fell to the ground, and he didn't wake up.

"Yuan Shu." Doctor Meng exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly ran to Zhang Yuanshu's side, touched his pulse, looked at his eyes again, and found that he just couldn't stand the stimulation and fainted, so he was relieved.

"Doctor Meng, just now you said that you were afraid that your in-laws would not be able to survive your medicine decoction, so you would be hopeless, if I sue you, your in-laws have actually been in this situation for a while, and he will definitely be able to wait until your medicine is decoctioned, is there any salvation he can have?" Jiang Wanbai was also taken aback by Zhang Yuanshu, but fortunately she still knew what the most important thing was at this time.

"Boiled until my medicine is decoctioned, how is this possible, unless it is ......" Doctor Meng said, glanced at Old Man Zhang suspiciously, and then shook his head, feeling ridiculous for his thoughts.

In the case of Mr. Zhang, unless he hangs it with ginseng, but in the case of the Zhang family, where does the ginseng come from, it is better to say that the Zhang family has ghosts than to say that there is ginseng to make people believe.

Jiang Wanbai naturally guessed what he meant, and just as he was about to explain, he saw Zhang walking in with a bowl of medicine. As soon as she entered, a smell of medicine filled the room.

"This is, ginseng." As if he had seen a ghost, Dr. Meng looked at the medicine bowl in Zhang's hand in surprise.

Zhang was originally holding the medicine bowl carefully, but as soon as she heard Dr. Meng's exclamation, her hand shook, and she subconsciously glanced ahead, but she saw Zhang Yuanshu fall to the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and she was immediately shocked.

It didn't matter if she was shocked, her hand holding the medicine bowl was already unstable, and if she did this again, the medicine bowl would tilt to the side.

Feeling that the medicine was about to be spilled, Zhang's instinctively took his hand to hold the medicine bowl and wanted to straighten it, but the medicine bowl was full of hot medicine, and she was okay with the edge of the bowl.

As soon as she withdrew her hand, the medicine bowl naturally fell to the ground, "Ah......" Zhang retracted her hand and realized what a mistake she had made, and immediately exclaimed.

Reaching out to fish for the medicine bowl, but there was still no time, I could only watch the medicine bowl fall to the ground, at this moment, Zhang Shijue's surroundings were empty, and she was also empty.

From the entry of the Zhang family to the landing of the medicine bowl almost all happened in an instant, and Dr. Meng had just recovered from the fact that the Zhang family really had ginseng at this time, and he couldn't help the Zhang family if he wanted to, so he opened his mouth slightly, with a look of regret.

If he hadn't been shocked just now, the Zhang family would not have dropped the medicine bowl, and the Zhang family would definitely not have a second ginseng, which means that this ginseng is almost the life of Old Man Zhang, and he is the murderer who indirectly killed Old Man Zhang.

Dr. Meng is now full of regret, regretting why he was so reckless, and he had never seen ginseng, how could he be so out of shape!

Just when Zhang was frightened and Dr. Meng regretted it, a person standing next to them suddenly moved.

The man bent down like a gust of wind, stretched out his hand, caught the medicine bowl, and then put the medicine bowl on the kang on the side like another gust of wind, then withdrew his hands and put them to his mouth and blew twice, and after blowing twice, he seemed to find that it didn't work, and the man put his hand on the earlobe again, pinching the earlobe and turning around in pain.

This person is none other than Jiang Wanbai, who has been guarding against accidents early in the morning. Jiang Wanbai saw Zhang Yuanshu fall at the door just now, and when Zhang was holding the medicine, he only looked at the medicine bowl and didn't look at the road, for fear that she would be tripped by Zhang Yuanshu and have an accident.

Originally, she wanted to open her mouth to remind Zhang's, but before she could open her mouth, this thing happened, so she quickly reached out to pick it up.

And I don't know if she was too concentrated, or if her mind was wrong, thinking that she was still the girl in her early twenties, she should be able to catch it, in short, Jiang Wanbai finally really caught the medicine bowl and put it safely on the edge of the kang.

Doctor Meng glanced at the medicine bowl with palpitations, and then looked at Jiang Wanbai in surprise, this old lady is so fast!

Zhang hurriedly ran to Jiang Wanbai's side, and said with a guilty face: "Mother, your hand is ......" Before she finished speaking, her tears fell again, and she didn't know whether she felt sorry for Jiang Wanbai, or was afraid that Old Man Zhang's life would almost be gone.

Jiang Wanbai twisted her ears and lips a few times with her hands, and found that this trick didn't work at all, her hands were still burning and hurting, and she was about to ask Dr. Meng if she had any burn medicine, when she saw Zhang crying next to her, she suddenly felt a little bored, "I'm fine, you quickly blow the medicine cold and give it to your father to drink, it's important to save people." ”

Jiang Wanbai's tone, Zhang's tears fell even more, but as soon as she heard Jiang Wanbai mention Old Man Zhang, she wiped her tears regardless of it, and quickly picked up the medicine bowl and blew it carefully, while the tears on her face snaked down her cheeks, not knowing where they rolled down.

"Here you go, you specialize in scalding, hurry up and rub some, it shouldn't hurt so much." Doctor Meng opened the medicine box, took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Jiang Wanbai, he really admired Jiang Wanbai a little now.

Ten fingers connected to the heart, Jiang Wanbai was not polite, quickly took the porcelain bottle, opened it and saw that it was a pale green paste, wiped a little with his fingers, and suddenly felt a burst of coolness, and his fingers finally stopped hurting.

This ointment turned out to be so effective, Jiang Wan said in a white heart, while applying the ointment, she said, "Doctor Meng, you better hurry up and prescribe medicine to my in-laws." ”

Doctor Meng nodded, "I have brought all the medicines that Old Man Zhang should take, but there are two medicines that are more expensive, and I don't have them here." ”

"That ......" Jiang Wanbai's heart suddenly sank.

"The kid who came with Yuanshu is your grandson, he's really good-looking and smart, I asked him to buy it." Dr. Meng said.

"I see." Jiang Wan said clearly, he said why didn't she see Tian Chengyu just now, it turned out that she went to buy medicine, but Tian Chengyu is still young, let him go alone, isn't it a little bad.

A little worried about Tian Chengyu, Jiang Wanbai said: "Is the place where you buy medicine far away from us, otherwise I will let the third child pick up Chengyu, so as to save a little time." ”

Doctor Meng shook his head, "It's not too far, and I asked my family Guo'er to take him there, you can rest assured, Guo'er often goes there, and it's very ripe." By the way, Guo'er is my youngest daughter, who is 8 years old this year and very smart. Doctor Meng looked like a woman.

Jiang Wanbai was a little embarrassed, didn't this Doctor Meng take a fancy to Tian Chengyu, and wanted to marry his daughter to Tian Chengyu, otherwise why did he deliberately let Guo'er take Tian Chengyu to buy medicine, and said it in such detail when it came to his daughter.

Jiang Wanbai's expression was a little too obvious, and Doctor Meng seemed to be aware of it, but he didn't know if it was intentional or not, so he didn't mean to explain it at all.

At this time, Zhang had already cooled the bowl of medicine and fed it to Old Man Zhang little by little. Just as he was feeding, Tian Laosan entered the house, and at a glance he saw Zhang Yuanshu lying on the ground, and looked up at Jiang Wanbai questioningly.

"Let's help him to another room to rest first, he was so anxious that he fainted just now." Jiang Wanbai commanded.

Tian Laosan listened to Jiang Wanbai's words the most, and quickly mixed Zhang Yuanshu and helped him out of the room.

Not long after he left, Tian Chengyu ran in panting, and next to him, there was a little girl with pigtails, the little girl had a peachy face, a pair of apricot eyes, and her eyes were full of agility, which made people very fond of it at first glance.

As soon as Tian Chengyu saw Dr. Meng, he hurriedly handed him the medicine bag in his hand, "Doctor, the medicine you want." And the little girl called out to her father sweetly, and then said delicately, "They are all medicinal materials that are more than 50 years old according to Dad's wishes." ”

Dr. Meng was called by this little girl, as if the bones were lightened, and touched the little girl's head lovingly, then opened the medicine bag and took a look, and then nodded with satisfaction.

took out another package of medicine that had already been prepared from the medicine box, and said to Tian Chengyu: "Three bowls of water are fried into one bowl of water, will you?" If not, Guo'er can help you. ”

Although Tian Chengyu is also fair-skinned, he is very similar to the children of a wealthy family, in fact, he is also used to doing work, so he quickly took it, "I will." With that, he turned and went out.

As soon as Guo'er saw Tian Chengyu go out, she hurriedly said, "Dad, I'll help him." ”

"Go ahead, be careful." Doctor Meng said with a smile.

Jiang Wanbai is now completely sure that this Doctor Meng is definitely looking at Tian Chengyu, which makes her a little embarrassed, this girl named Guo'er is only 8 years old, Doctor Meng is so anxious, is it really early to get married?

No wonder she is now in her twenties and has not found a boyfriend, it turns out that it is not that she is too strong, but that she started too late!

Jiang Wanbai was complaining in her heart, Zhang's side had already finished feeding the medicine, "Mother, I'll help Chengyu." Zhang said with some unease.

Jiang Wanbai nodded, "You should be careful this time." ”

Zhang's face turned white, and he hurriedly promised: "I will, mother." With that, she turned and went out.

Only Jiang Wanbai and Dr. Meng were left in the room, and Jiang Wanbai naturally wanted to ask Old Man Zhang what was going on with his illness.

Doctor Meng sighed lightly and said, "Old Man Zhang's illness is a long story. At first, it was a cold and the illness came like a mountain, but although the situation was dangerous at that time, if you insisted on taking medicine, you could still be cured.

It's a pity that as soon as the disease disappeared, he didn't continue to eat, the treatment was not thorough, and his body and bones were not very good, so he fell into the root of the disease and lingered on the sickbed.

At this point, if he can use some good medicine to raise, not to mention cured, but he can also recover seven or eight points. However, you also know that these good medicines are all exchanged for silver, not to mention anything else, just the two medicinal materials I asked them to buy just now cost nearly one or two pieces of silver, and this is only the price of a pair.

Old man Zhang wants to think well, this medicine will take at least two or three months, or even half a year, how much silver will it take! The Zhang family more than a hundred years ago may still be able to support it, but now it ......

Therefore, Mr. Zhang's disease is getting worse and worse. After Dr. Meng finished speaking, he thought about it and added, "Without medicine, living is also a crime, just survive life." ”
