Chapter 136: A Trip to Hanmin Village
After lunch, Sheng Zijun looked at the acupuncture point map in the consultation room, and unconsciously became sleepy.
Holding on to his little head, he shook his head and slept like a reader, and he didn't know how long he squinted like this, and suddenly his right hand didn't hold his head steady, and his head hit the front desk with a "bang".
Screaming in pain, Sheng Zijun rubbed his aching head while wiping the corners of his mouth, and looked around to see if anyone had noticed his previous wolf appearance. But the inside and outside of the consultation room were surprisingly deserted, and the fear of embarrassment in front of people suddenly receded, and my heart was full of helpless depression.
It's been ten days, and it's been ten days of idleness, and there is not a single patient in the newly opened "Butterfly Medical Center"! Can this cold momentum not make Sheng Zijun sigh.
In the long run, if there is no business to come to the door, it is estimated that he and Zhu Xishi will have to pack up their burdens and get out of the eggs and drink the northwest wind. Thinking of this, Sheng Zijun couldn't be idle anymore, and had to discuss countermeasures with Zhu Xishi.
After quickly tidying up his outfit, Sheng Zijun hurriedly walked out of his consultation room. I didn't want to step out of the threshold of the consultation room as soon as I saw Zhu Xishi, who was dressed in purple gauze, coming out of his room.
Looks like she's going out.
Seeing that Zhu used to be dressed up in a fancy way, his face was full of joy, but Sheng Zijun was unhappy. There has been no business in the hospital for ten days, and she still has the heart to wander the streets, isn't this girl in a hurry at all? Suddenly, Sheng Zijun drank Zhu Xishi, who was in a hurry to go out, with a straight face.
"Come over to me when Zhu Xishi! I have something to ask you. ”
"What did you just call me?!"
Zhu Xishi, who was suddenly stopped by drinking, suddenly disappeared without a trace of the pleasant color between his eyebrows and eyes. The fierce god turned his head viciously and made a threatening gesture of "looking for a fight" at Sheng Zijun, and this guy's whole body suddenly trembled.
"Hehehe, little girl, dare to ask you in a hurry. Where are you going to have fun? ”
Count you rabbit cub into current affairs! Glancing at Sheng Zijun fiercely, Zhu Xishi slowly put down his palm and returned without being salty.
"Can't you see it, go to the street."
Really! It's all burning eyebrows, this girl still has the heart to go shopping! But Sheng Zijun succumbed to her deterrence, and did not dare to challenge her authority openly, so he still leaned up with his little tail between his legs.
"Beautiful women are strolling around the streets. You also think that the business of our medical clinic is too light, right? ”
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Zhu Xishi smiled at him pretendedly, and pinched his little face coldly in response.
"Yes, I can't stand it and go to the street to pass off my depressed mood, do you have any dissatisfaction? Don't be weird with the old lady. If you have a fart, let it go clean. Don't 'poof' and puff! ”
A pair of watery little eyes stared at Zhu Xishi, his face was full of begging, and he returned to her in a low voice: "People don't care about you, why should you be so angry." Official, you say that the business of our medical center is so cold, should we think of some countermeasures? ”
Pinching Sheng Zijun's little face with one hand was not enjoyable, and the smiling Zhu Xishi changed his hands to work at the same time, twisting around like a clay doll.
"You've said so much around the bush. Don't you just want to say that I don't care about the business of the hospital? Please use your pig brain, this medical hall has invested all of my aunt's net worth. Do you think I can't be in a hurry! ”
"In that case, why am I in a hurry to see you? And the heart to go shopping"
After rubbing Sheng Zijun's little face and flattening it enough, Zhu Xishi let go of him tiredly, turned around and continued to walk towards the outside of the medical hall.
"What's the use of being in a hurry, staying in the hospital and doing anxious business and taking the initiative to come to the door?! Uncle Sheng, going to the street is not necessarily to wander, but also to find a way. Silly short! ”
Sheng Zijun, who was stunned, suddenly heard Zhu Xishi's supplementary words, as if he had been struck by lightning! Hurriedly took steps to follow.
"Little girl, wait for my brother!"
What business opportunities are hidden on the streets? Sheng Zijun wanted to see Zhu Xishi's extraordinary methods and how to turn the tide.
After leaving the medical hall and blending into the endless crowd on the street, Zhu Xishi seemed to have no intention of nostalgia for the bustle of Lin'an Street and alleys, but just walked side by side with him silently. After about half an hour, the two of them left behind the prosperity behind them, and even went out of the city gate! The scene in front of me is getting stranger and stranger.
What kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this girl in the past, Sheng Zijun couldn't guess at all.
After walking about five miles along the road out of the city, the large and small dilapidated houses in front of them came into the field of vision of the two. At this scene, Zhu Xishi's previously solemn face showed a hint of joy, and in comparison, Sheng Zijun's surprise was even stronger.
Isn't this the famous "Hanmin Village" outside Lin'an City?! How did you get here?
In the eyes of those high-ranking officials and nobles and wealthy families, this "Hanmin Village" is a little stain on the prosperous pearl of Lin'an, which is disgusted by people.
There are many poor families from all over the world who come to Lin'an to ask for a living, and it is not easy to take root in this prosperous place of Lin'an; In the face of the high cost of the city, this is naturally the first choice for the poor people to settle down.
During the day, the people in the "Hanmin Village" will go into the city to look for work, and then return here at night; Although they are all simple people who are struggling to make a living, they are inevitably reduced to "untouchables" in the eyes of snobs.
"The method you said won't be in this 'Hanmin Village', right?!"
"Weird?! Disgusted that they are all poor and unprofitable? ”
Zhu Xishi glanced at Sheng Zijun lightly, then took a step and continued to walk towards the village. After taking a dose of cold nails from Zhu Xishi, he naturally understood that she was mocking his snobbish gaze, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"You know I didn't mean that, I just can't figure out what it has to do with helping us get business."
"Won't you know in a moment? The chatter is non-stop and annoying. ”
“”
The fast-talking Zhu Xi immediately knocked Sheng Zijun dumb. I had to follow her with a dull head
Walking slowly on the dirt roads and streets of this "Hanmin Village", although everywhere looks dilapidated, every household is in good order. Compared with the atmosphere and prosperity in Lin'an City, there is more of a human touch between neighbors. After careful observation, except for some women who were at home in the village, there were only a few children who were playing around, and they saw that the laborers of the village should have gone to the city to work at this time.
In the eyes of these poor people in coarse linen clothes, the bright clothes of the two of them naturally show the difference of identity, and from time to time attract the villagers to look sideways.
A group of timid children. followed closely behind the two of them, laughing childishly from time to time, and seemed to be curious about why Zhu Xishi and Sheng Zijun appeared here. And look at the innocent children. Zhu Xishi also smiled at them with great friendliness, indicating that they had no ill intentions here.
After walking in such an awkward cluster for a while, Zhu Xishi's eyes were suddenly attracted by the scene in front of him.
I saw a thin boy, about eleven or twelve years old. Wearing a coarse cloth coat full of patches. Holding a broken pu fan, he carefully guarded an earthen medicine jar, and he knew that he was boiling medicine when he smelled the strong smell of herbs.
Suddenly, Zhu Xishi's eyes became extremely bright, and he walked forward quickly to talk to the child who was boiling medicine.
"Little brother, is there anyone sick at home?"
The thin-faced child also raised his head in surprise when he looked at Zhu Xi, nervously pursed his lips and nodded.
"Don't be afraid. My sister has no ill intentions. Little brother, I don't know who is sick in your family? ”
The kid hesitated for a moment. still replied crampedly: "It's my mother." ”
Probably understood the reason, Zhu Xishi also nodded, and Sheng Zijun also came over at this time, and was about to reach out and lift the lid of the medicine jar on the earthen stove to take a look, but the panicked boy in front of him stopped drinking.
"What do you want to do?! This is my mother's medicine, don't touch it! ”
Seeing the unfriendliness on the boy's face, Zhu Xishi knew that Sheng Zijun's abruptness had aroused his hostility, and hurriedly explained.
"Little brother, don't panic, this big brother is a doctor, he just wants to see what medicine you boiled for your mother, nothing else."
As soon as he heard the word "doctor", the panic in the boy's expression became more obvious, and he stared at Sheng Zijun for a long time before stammering in response.
"Doctor?! I don't have any money to see a doctor. ”
"But we didn't say we wanted silver." Knowing the scruples in the boy's heart, Zhu Xishi answered him with a smile, and hurriedly asked Sheng Zijun on the side in a low voice: "How is it?" ”
After a cursory look at the medicinal materials in the medicine jar, Sheng Zijun also shook his head: "It's all messy herbs boiled indiscriminately, it's useless." ”
Looking at the yellow-skinned boy, Sheng Zijun also felt pity, and kindly inquired about the condition of the child's mother: "Little brother and brother ask you, what disease does your mother have?" ”
But it seemed that the boy was still not very relieved, and was still staring at the two of them nervously, and Zhu Xishi was playing a round on the side.
"Don't worry, we won't accept your money, little brother, you can rest assured and boldly say it."
After looking at them back and forth several times, the boy seemed to believe in their kindness, and then replied timidly.
"I don't know, I just know that my mother always coughs on weekdays, and recently coughed up blood"
The boy's mouth about his mother's illness suddenly made Sheng Zijun's expression more solemn, and he thought for a moment before slowly saying to Zhu Xishi.
"It is estimated that it is a lung disease, and it is really pitiful that the poor do not want to be infected with such a disease of wealth."
"Can it be cured?"
Looking at the solemnity on Sheng Zijun's face, Zhu Xishi also asked worriedly.
"It's hard to say. Not to mention that the child has already coughed up blood, the disease must have dragged on for a long time, and he will only know after a pulse diagnosis. ”
Zhu Xishi nodded as if he had taken a reassuring pill, turned his head to the boy and said, "Little brother, if you can trust our medical skills, can you let us have a look at your mother's diagnosis?" Rest assured, I won't take you a penny. ”
This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing suddenly made the boy smile happily and nodded vigorously in agreement. (To be continued......)
