Dengyi is a town of five or six thousand people, surrounded by walled walls outside, so it is naturally more prosperous than other places.

During the autumn harvest, the thief commander Zhou Cang once beat Deng Yi's idea, when he saw the tall wall, hundreds of strong men with weapons on the wall, and thousands of people assisting in the defense, Zhou Cang decisively gave up the idea of attacking Deng Yi.

Therefore, compared with other places in Huyang, Deng Yi is really much better. For example, Deng Tu's butcher shop is as good as ever.

Although Deng Tu chose to stay in Sanshui Village all day and handed over the business to his relatives to take care of, it did not affect others to buy meat. There are many poor people, and there are also rich people who can eat meat.

Li Chen dragged his mother past the butcher shop with a cart, but he didn't even look at the butcher shop, and now he only thinks about his mother's condition.

After coming to Dengyi, my mother's illness became worse day by day, and at the beginning, she could still sit and eat and barely walk, but now she can't even move, so she can only barely eat some gruel.

For the treatment of his mother, Li Chen spent everything, even the thousand money sent by Zhang Miao was also spent. Originally, he didn't want to use the money, and he was going to return it to Zhang Miao when he left. When we meet in Pingshui, there is no reason to take so much money from others.

But after spending so much money, my mother's condition did not improve at all, but became heavier, and she fainted just now.

Without money, the doctor was already reluctant to go to the clinic, so Li Chen could only pull his mother and beg to the doctor's door.

The doctor, surnamed Jiang, was also the only doctor in Deng Yi and opened a Guangjitang pharmacy, which was diagonally opposite Deng Tu's butcher shop.

However, Li Chen was rejected by the servants of Guangjitang.

"You can't even afford a pair of medicines, why are you here? When our medicine is picked up for nothing? The servant said to Li Chen with disdain.

"Please, talk to Mr. Jiang, let him show my mother again, my mother has been in a coma for a long time." Li Chen pleaded bitterly.

The servant shook his head: "The master said that he will not cure your mother's illness again, so you should go where you came from." ”

Where else can I go? Looking at his unconscious mother, tears rolled down Li Chen's eyes.

He couldn't help but kneel on the ground, kowtow to Guangjitang again and again, and shouted in a sad voice: "Doctor Jiang, please, save my mother!" ”

The miserable cry caused the passers-by to stop, shake their heads and sigh.

"What's going on out there?" Inside the Guangji Hall, Doctor Jiang Chong frowned as he listened to the noise outside.

"Master, the outsider dragged his mother to the door, and refused to leave no matter what he said." The servant outside the door ran in and whispered.

Jiang Chong frowned, "I can't even grab a pair of medicines, and I still want the old man to treat him, it's really delusional!" ”

"You tell him that his mother's illness is beyond cure, and ask him to ask another Gao Ming, don't make noise in front of the door!"

The servant agreed to go out and told Li Chen what Jiang Chong had said.

"Please talk to the doctor and let him take another look." Li Chen pleaded unwillingly.

At this moment, a man wearing a linen cloth and a hat stopped in front of the cart, reached out and touched the wrist of Li's mother in the car, and sneered, "Who said there is no cure!" ”

Li Chen hurriedly turned his head and asked in surprise, "You said that my mother can be cured?" ”

The sack man nodded slightly: "It's not easy to cure the root, but it's easy to save it." ”

As he spoke, he took off the blanket on his shoulder and put it on the ground, and after untying it, he took out a wooden box from it, and there were more than a dozen silver needles in it.

The sackcloth man ordered Li Chen to take off his mother's shoes, Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly did so. In desperation, even if this man in sackcloth was just a passerby, Li Chen was willing to give it a try.

"Hehe, so seriously ill, relying on a needle to save your life, what a joke!" The servant of the pharmacy did not leave, holding his arms and sneering on the side.

There was a bustle to see, and the pedestrians passing by stopped and gradually formed a circle.

I saw that the man in sackcloth pierced two silver needles into the soles of Li's mother's feet, and then pierced a silver needle into the middle of his lips, and gently twisted it a few times.

"Ahem, ahem..."

It was very miraculous, and I saw Mother Li's head moving on the cart, and then coughed.

"Mother." Looking at his mother, who was moving, Li Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly called.

"Thank you, sir, for saving my life, thank you sir, for saving my mother!" Li Chen knelt at the feet of the man in sackcloth and kowtowed repeatedly.

The Mai man shook his head: "You get up, I'm just waking up your mother, if she wants to be completely cured, it can't be done for a while." ”

"Dare to ask Engong, what is my mother's illness?" Li Chen hurriedly asked.

The man in sackcloth glanced at the plaque of Guangjitang, shook his head and said, "You have been seeing a doctor for your mother for many days, don't you still know the symptoms?" Did your mother cough a lot before? ”

Li Chen nodded hurriedly: "Exactly." A few years ago, my mother had a lot of coughs, coughing when it was cold, and coughing when it was hot, but it wasn't serious at that time, and I saw the doctor, but I only prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and said that there was no big problem. This time, my mother and I traveled from Yingchuan to Xiangyang, and on the way, my mother's cough became more and more serious, and her body became weaker and weaker. We stopped at Dengyi for treatment, who knew that a month had passed, and I had taken a lot of medicine, but the illness had not improved, but it became heavier and heavier, and my mother even fell into a coma today. ”

The Mai man said: "Your mother's body is already weak, and she is not suitable for long-distance travel at all, how can her condition not be serious after accumulation?" ”

"Please also ask my husband to save my mother!" Li Chen hurriedly knelt down again and kowtowed.

The Mai man nodded slightly: "Since I woke up your mother, there is no reason to let it go." But this is not a place for healing. ”

Li Chen hurriedly said, "Please follow me back to my residence." ”

"A silver needle can save people, what a miracle doctor!" Looking at the back of the Mai man and Li Chen's departure, a pedestrian said loudly.

"Yes, such medical knowledge is unheard of. No, I have to go and see where the miracle doctor went, my brother has been suffering from foot disease for many days, and he has spent a lot of money to cure it, so I have to ask the miracle doctor to show my brother. Another pedestrian said.

"The most admirable thing about this miracle doctor is his medical ethics, and he didn't mention money at all. It's not like some quacks who turn the poor away! ”

There was a lot of discussion among the pedestrians outside, and Jiang Chong stood at the door of the medicine hall with a red face. The patient he died, the patient he turned away, was actually woken up, which was simply a slap in the face.

If the man in sackcloth could really cure the woman, his reputation as a quack doctor would be completely settled.

At this moment, Jiang Chong was like sitting on pins and needles. He thought for a while, quickly paid attention, and hurriedly called out to the servants in the medicine hall.

"If the outsider comes to grab the medicine, he will not be allowed to arrest it, and he will say that there is no medicine!" Jiang Chong commanded in a deep voice.

Hmph, the whole Dengyi is my medicine hall, no matter how good your medical skills are, there is no medicine to see how you can save people!
