"With these gold bars, we can buy better medicine for the puppy, and with better medicine, the puppy's illness will definitely get better soon, so we must not return the gold bars, otherwise the puppy will be cured!"
In order to persuade Chen not to return the gold bars, Chen Ergou also fought hard, and he had no brains, but he said something that seemed to make sense.
"Really" Chen suddenly raised her head when she heard that she could cure her son, and she was still sobbing in a low voice, and said expectantly.
In order to stabilize the Chen family, Chen Ergou said without hesitation: "Of course! As long as there are all kinds of precious medicinal materials, the puppy's illness will be cured soon! ”
It seems that in Chen Ergou's heart, gold bars are omnipotent, and with gold bars, everything can be done.
But what he didn't know was that there were many things that money couldn't do, and birth, old age, sickness and death were one of them.
Chen has always believed in Chen Ergou's words, so she quickly smiled and said, "Then I'll take the puppy to the doctor later, you give me a gold bar, and let me buy medicine!" ”
As for what will happen if he can't hand over the gold bars when the big head comes to ask for the gold bars, the Chen family can't care about it at this moment, because nothing is more important than his son's life!
When Chen Ergou heard that Chen was going to ask him for gold bars, he instantly felt a feeling of looking at his heart, and he couldn't do it.
He put his hand into the gold bar in his arms, and his expression was very reluctant, and he couldn't take out a gold bar for a long time.
However, seeing Chen's urging eyes and his son, who was lying on the haystack with a very painful expression, he reluctantly took out a gold bar from his arms and put it on Chen's palm with difficulty.
As soon as the gold bar appeared, it revealed a dazzling golden light under the sun's rays, and the light flashed so that everyone around looked at it with greedy eyes.
Chen Ergou, who noticed the gaze around him, instantly retracted the gold bar along with his hand.
And although Chen was a little afraid of the eyes of the neighbors who seemed to devour people, when she thought of her son, she still looked at Chen Ergou, showed a look, and gave me the gold bar!
Chen Ergou, who understood the meaning of Chen's eyes, had to say: "It's easy to be robbed if you go out with your child alone, so I'll go with you!" ”
Chen thought about it and felt that Chen Ergou was right, but he still said: "Then who is watching here?"
"What we have now is money, we don't need to use these things anymore, after we see the doctor, we will go to Chang'an City to buy a house, and we won't go back here!" Chen Ergou said disdainfully.
Chen Shi looked at Chen Ergou in amazement, she never thought that one day he would say such a thing.
Oh, my God! Is this still the thrifty Chen Ergou she knows?
Is the magic of gold really that great?
But before Chen could figure it out, a woman next to her who had just come back suddenly started crying, and she muttered to herself while crying.
"Woo...... It's a dead deal...... Whining...... Kid ......"
At first, Chen didn't listen carefully, so she didn't really listen, but when she heard the word child, she was shocked, and then walked to the crying woman without thinking.
Walking up to the woman, Chen said urgently, "What's wrong, what's going on?"
The weeping woman was stunned by Chen's sudden move, and her crying stopped.
After a while, after the woman reacted, she asked, "Are you from the Chen family next to you?" ”
"Hmm!" Chen answered, and then began to ask about the woman's crying just now: "What happened to you, didn't you take the child to the doctor when you just went to bed?" How did you come back all of a sudden."
When the woman heard Chen's inquiry, she couldn't help crying again, so that Chen could only watch from the sidelines, anxious, trying to urge but afraid that she would not be able to stand it, so she cried even more.
After crying for a while, perhaps wanting someone to complain to, the woman gradually stopped crying, looked up and said, "Do you know? Today, I was going to go to the doctor to see the child, but who would have thought that as soon as I arrived, I heard someone who arrived early shouting that the doctor was missing!
Then we searched the neighborhood, but not only could we not find the doctor, but also found that the doctor's clothes and money were missing in the doctor's pharmacy, leaving only some ordinary medicinal materials.
At the same time, some people said that they had seen the doctor at the gate of the east gate this morning! ”
"He's just out of town, does he need to cry like this?" Chen said with a puzzled face.
As if thinking of something sad, the woman cried again, and after crying for a while, she began to continue: "Not only that, but then I and the others went to find a few famous doctors in Chang'an, one of whom was also the Xuanzhen Taoist of Xuandu Temple, and it turned out that none of them were in the residence!" And ......"
"And after that?" As if thinking of something terrifying, Chen suddenly interrupted.
"At that time, we were very confused and a little overwhelmed, but it happened that someone at that time someone intercepted Dr. Li at the West Gate, so we all went to the West Gate together and met Dr. Li!
After seeing Dr. Li, he seemed very panicked and asked us not to approach him, we thought his reaction was very strange at that time, but we didn't think much about it, just asked him why he didn't say goodbye.
At first, Dr. Li was reluctant to tell us, and then we were forced to be anxious, so he told the truth, it turned out that he just thought that the children were infected with the cold, so he didn't pay much attention, but as more and more children got sick, he gradually found that the wrong way, until last night an old man came to see him with a granddaughter who was coughing to death and had begun to vomit blood, he knew that the children were not suffering from ordinary typhoid fever at all, but an epidemic that did not know the cause!!
After that, he was very flustered, and visited a famous doctor in Chang'an, and finally they discussed the condition in Xuanduguan Xuanzhen Daoist, but they still had no way to talk about it, and they decided to slip away for their own safety, because according to their research and speculation, this disease is highly contagious, and it is easy to infect people, and it is evident that countless children have been infected for a time, and this disease will not only infect children, but also some people with weak constitutions are also easily infected. What's even more frightening is that there is no cure for this disease for the time being, so once you get it, you will die......"
At this, the woman who spoke began to weep again, and as she wept, she said, "Woo...... Whining...... My wretched child...... Why are you so miserable...... I actually contracted this disease, what should you do with your mother......"
Chen, who had been listening to the woman, was stunned when she heard about the epidemic, and she did not hear a word of the woman's words after that.
