Chapter 146: To be a man is to be a sycophant
Xu Minghui wanted to take a mixed bath in the public bathhouse, but he didn't succeed, when he went back to the small courtyard, the old man had already slept, Xu Minghui and Song Xiaoyu went back to the room, very embarrassed to smile at each other, turn off the light and take off their clothes to sleep, this sleep is dawn, it is too comfortable,
Xu Minghui opened his eyes in a daze, Song Xiaoyu was no longer on the sofa, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Song Xiaoyu is really a little brother, he should be treated well,
Putting on his clothes and walking out of the guest room, Xu Minghui saw Song Xiaoyu playing chess with the old man in the courtyard, scratching his head and looking distressed, while the old man was smiling proudly.
"I'm a master at chess, female doll, take it easy, and if you lose, you have to buy fried dough sticks and soy milk."
"I know, I know, it's a shame to bully a little girl, it's a shame."
Song Xiaoyu pushed the chessboard away, went outside, saw Xu Minghui get up, nodded and said hello.
"Song Xiaoyu, wait, let's go have breakfast together."
Xu Minghui wanted to chase him out, but a cold light shot and slammed on the brick at the door, which turned out to be an iron walnut in the old man's hand, which scared Xu Minghui and Song Xiaoyu not to move, and looked back at the old man,
"You can go out, but you kid want to stay at home, Xiao Nizi said, don't let you walk around, I asked you to take a bath yesterday because you were too dirty, and I don't know how the Shen family entertained you, so I didn't give you a bath, it seems that the old man of the Shen family will not have a chance to celebrate his seventy-first birthday after his seventieth birthday, and the roots of the Shen family have begun to waver."
The old man said something in his words, which suddenly made Xu Minghui break out in a cold sweat, the hospitality yesterday was polite and unwelcome, it was indeed very strange,
"I know, but breakfast ......"
"The girl will buy it and come back for reimbursement."
The old man said impatiently, closed his eyes again, and massaged his knees with both hands,
"I'm going to go, I'm going to buy breakfast." Song Xiaoyu was already frightened by the iron walnut, and hurriedly slipped away.
"Old man, you're rheumatism."
Xu Minghui squatted down and began to pat himself with a smile,
"Yes, when I was young, I followed the army commander to support the 38th parallel, it was winter that year, and I left the root of the disease after I came back."
"Yes, my family's ancestral Chinese medicine doctor, I'll show you."
"Ancestral Chinese medicine, good things, now there are no real skills, do you have real skills, if you have, take a look."
The old man was very happy, patted his knees, and stared at Xu Minghui with his eyes,
"I'll go get some tools."
Xu Minghui returned to the room with a smile, took out a needle bag and various tools from Baoyu, hid in the window and peeked at the old man outside, just now with the hand of the iron walnut, he was definitely not an opponent, if this was slapped on his head, wouldn't it be about to bloom, and he had doubts about the identity of the old man in his heart, and he didn't dare to be careless.
Holding various tools, Xu Minghui began to show the old man's legs,
Xu Minghui has treated Tang Youyou's grandfather's rheumatism and has a little experience, so he is familiar with the diagnosis, and he is strange in his heart, this rheumatism is different from Tang Lao's rheumatism, it doesn't seem to be simple rheumatism,
"Why, it can't be cured." The old man laughed,
"It can be cured, but old man, you lock me up here, I can't get you medicine, only I can buy this medicine."
"Want to get out, huh...... Rhubarb, rhubarb. ”
The old man sneered, shouted, and a big yellow dog ran outside, squatting in front of the old man obediently,
"It's ......"
"Watch you, give you three hours, and if you don't come back after three hours, you will bear the consequences." The old man laughed and said,
Xu Minghui has a feeling of marrying the wrong person, there are people walking dogs in this world, but Xu Minghui was walked by dogs, walking in front, and the big yellow dog has been staring at the back, if there is a sign of escape, that is, a bite down, who knows if the dog has an injection, a bite will be rabies, it's too cost-effective,
In the small alley, the neighborhood leaders looked at Xu Minghui, and they all used an expression that someone was walking by the big yellow dog today, and he was stealing fun, Xu Minghui was depressed, does the big yellow dog often walk people?
"Boy, are you a classmate of the wild girl?"
"yes, the school opposite."
"Yo, upgraded, haha...... Do it yourself. ”
"What do you mean?"
"No meaning, just to be careful."
"Is it life-threatening?"
"Normally, no, but if you're a beast, your life is in danger."
"Ahem, I'm glad I'm not, I'm a handsome guy."
"The first criterion of a beast is a handsome guy."
Xu Minghui teased with the neighbors, turned around and watched the big yellow dog, and soon walked out of the alley, first went to the nearby vegetable market to buy a few vegetables with medicinal effects, and then inquired about the flower market to buy more than a dozen flower pots, and then went to the Chinese medicine market, and returned to the small courtyard when it was almost three hours.
The old man in the courtyard was not there, Song Xiaoyu said that he was going to find someone outside to play chess and kill the Quartet, left ten fritters for Xu Minghui, and went back to the room to sleep with two bowls of soy milk.
"When I was a pig." Xu Minghui shouted while eating,
"Leave half for lunch, the old man won't come back at noon, I predict that there will be no food at noon, don't come in, I'll make up for sleep and beautify."
Song Xiaoyu shouted in the room, locking the door behind him, Xu Minghui looked depressed outside,
After dinner, Xu Minghui looked at the small courtyard with a flower pot, walked into the kitchen, and suddenly despaired, where is this kitchen, there are pots and pans, but there is no firewood, rice, oil and salt, there are a lot of things, it is completely a modified warehouse, but there is a place,
Xu Minghui sneakily moved everything into the kitchen, locked the kitchen door, and began to plant the medicinal herbs he bought.
This is two days, the old man will only come back in the morning and evening, squinting his eyes, playing with iron walnuts in his hand and watching Xu Minghui grind medicinal powder, although he is curious, but he didn't say anything, sat back on the rattan chair, thought about it and couldn't help but look back at Xu Minghui,
Xu Minghui ignored the old man's curious eyes, continued to work, and finally boiled a bowl of medicine at night and put it on the stone next to the small locust tree, and before Xu Minghui could call someone, the old man walked out of the room by himself, with a smile on his face,
"Boy, it's alright."
"Okay, take the medicine and prick the needle, and come again tomorrow morning, and the old man's rheumatism will be cured."
"I'm so confident, try it."
Xu Minghui began to prick the old man, but he didn't have the bottom in his heart, because the old man's illness came from double injuries, one was the cold weather, and the other was the internal injuries left by the battle, Xu Minghui could 100% cure the root of the disease left by the cold weather, but the internal injuries were very troublesome, and it was necessary to hit the nail on the head.
Xu Minghui's first needle used all his strength, all the true qi in his body was instantly exhausted with this needle, and the silver needle was left on one of the old man's knees, but Xu Minghui's body was shaking, and he almost fainted, and it was all worth it at that time, because the old man's eyes lit up, touched the knee that was pierced by the needle, and looked at Xu Minghui in surprise,
"The kid has a future, but it's a pity that he ran into a wild girl, so let's do it, you can go out during the day, you must come back before dark, if you are discovered, say that you slipped out by yourself, regardless of the old man's business."
"Okay, I'll sneak out on my own." Xu Minghui wiped the sweat on his forehead, the true qi of this needle was not exhausted in vain.
