Chapter 4: How to ask for a consultation fee?

Zhou Heng raised his hand and made a silent movement, and the man in brocade instantly shut up.

Zhou Hengyi raised his eyebrows, it seemed that only threatening him with this teenager would be effective.

"Your son-in-law has already slept, the wound has been cleaned and stitched, and when the day dawns, he has hired a carriage and horse in the village, and it is not too late to leave."

The man in brocade looked at Zhou Heng, walked quickly to the main hall, looked at the young man who was sleeping on the wheat straw, his face seemed to be not as pale as before, and he quickly squatted down and tried his forehead, and his hands were no longer hot.

Reaching out and gently lifting the quilt, the robe was piled up on the abdomen, and the left leg was wrapped in a thick white cloth, on which a thin yellowish tube was exposed, and some blood oozed around it, but it was only an area the size of an egg, and the bleeding had obviously stopped.

The brocade-clothed man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around to look at Zhou Heng, pointed to the young man's leg and said:

"What's this tube?"

Zhou Heng walked over, glanced at it, and said as much as possible in an explanation that the brocade man could understand:

"This thing is a drainage strip, your son-in-law is a penetrating wound, although the wooden stick is non-toxic, after all, the wound is too deep, even if you recuperate, you need to gradually heal from the internal muscle meridians, if it is completely closed, it is easy to produce pus and blood, and it will be difficult to treat at that time, so leave this thing to draw out pus and blood, so that the healing speed increases."

Seeing that Zhou Heng was right, the brocade-clothed man also nodded, but Shaoqing frowned slightly.

"Do you still want to take this thing out?"

"If you want to take it out, you can take it out if there is no pus and blood oozing out for two consecutive days."

The brocade man frowned slightly, covered the boy with a quilt, and squatted in place to look at the boy, not knowing what to calculate.

Zhou Heng pursed his lips, why is this person like this, the person has been saved, the operation has been completed, and he no longer mentions the consultation fee for treatment at this moment, how can he ask for it?

Is it possible to wait for the teenager to wake up?

Zhou Heng was a little speechless, walked to the side of the hall in a daze, sat down on the wheat straw pile, he was also tired after a toss, and there was a lot of sweat on his face and forehead, which stimulated the big bag to hurt a little, at this time Zhou Heng remembered that he had just forgotten to deal with the injury on his forehead.

Immediately a burst of annoyance, at this moment the brocade-clothed man was also in the main hall, and he went to get the box by himself, for fear that it would attract his attention, and after groping for a long time, he found a piece of gauze in his sleeve, thinking that he had just forgotten to put it away.

Quickly wiped it with gauze, and to Zhou Heng's surprise, it seemed that the big bag had disappeared.

Zhou Heng got up, grabbed a piece of burning wood, and walked quickly to the door of the main hall.

At this time, the wind and rain stopped, but the sky was still dark, and by the light of the wood in his hand, he lay down in front of the steps and looked at the water, and sure enough, the big bag on Zhou Heng's forehead was gone, and the damaged position had already scabbed into a piece the size of a fingernail.

Could it be because of the first aid kit?

Thinking about it carefully, Zhou Heng sighed, this is not the time to study this, let's wait for the dawn!

Returning to the main hall again, the brocade-clothed man sat cross-legged beside the young man, closed his eyes and held his sword, probably hearing his own voice, but his ears moved.

Zhou Heng didn't want to explore the identities of the two, after all, the brocade-clothed man knew at a glance that he was a eunuch, with a white face and delicate skin, an almost invisible Adam's apple, and a very sharp voice.

Knowing that it was not safe for him to know more, he threw the burning wood into the fire, and added some more wood, and then he closed his eyes on the straw pile, and fell asleep in a moment.

......

The sky was bright, and the rooster crow was faintly heard.

A big hand slapped on Zhou Heng's body, and Zhou Heng sat up in an instant.

There was a big face full of beards, raised his hand to hold his heart, and quickly looked sideways at the other side of the hall, but Boss Xue just blocked it.

I secretly said in my heart, how can I sleep if it is broken, and the consultation fee has not been paid.

Zhou Heng got up with a bone, and saw that the brocade-clothed man was gone, but the young man in the quilt was still lying in place, and the fire on the ground had been extinguished, so he looked at Boss Xue with a steady heart.

"When did Brother Xue wake up?"

"Just woke up, what happened last night, what is this?"

As he spoke, Boss Xue raised his hand, pinched the crumpled piece of gauze, and sent it to Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng's cheeks trembled, and he quickly raised his hand to cover Boss Xue's mouth.

"This is for you to wipe your nose, if it's dirty, throw it away, don't keep it."

Boss Xue was suspicious, threw the gauze beside the burning fire, and stretched out his thumb to point at the young man on the ground.

"Who is Xiao Langjun in this quilt?"

Boss Xue lowered his voice and approached Zhou Heng, a sour smell in his mouth went straight to his nose, but Zhou Heng didn't dare to retreat, thinking of what he did last night, he felt a little remorseful, and quickly put away his thoughts and smiled at Boss Xue.

"This son was treated by me last night, and there was an elder with him, but I don't know where the person went at this time? By the way, when they entered, the old man waved his hand at you, and you snored louder. ”

Boss Xue seemed to have realized something, and then Zhou Heng briefly told about last night's experience, of course, the part of the consultation fee was skipped, and Boss Xue was suspicious, and looked at Zhou Heng up and down.

"I didn't expect Mingyu to guess right, you are really a person who knows medical skills."

"Oh!"

Hearing Boss Xue's words, Zhou Heng was stunned.

I already said it last night, it seems that this Boss Xue doesn't believe it.

It's just that I didn't expect that Xue Mingyu could guess that he knew how to heal, and he was relieved after thinking about it a little, he must have thought that Uncle Zhou took medicine to heal the original owner, and he was the kind of hidden doctor, such people often had superb medical skills and were mysterious and abnormal, but this kind of inference was not harmful to himself.

Then Zhou Heng sighed, raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said:

"I studied medicine with my grandfather since I was a child, especially in the Department of Bone Injuries and Ulcers, I guess because I studied too much, so I hurt my brain, and I was in a state of confusion, but I didn't expect that my mind was clear at this time, and my grandfather had died."

Boss Xue looked at Zhou Heng like this, and didn't know how to comfort him.

"Do you remember the past?"

Zhou Heng was stunned, he would lose if he said too much, it seemed that he had said too much, so he quickly shook his head and said:

"I just remembered the clip of my grandfather holding me to learn medicine when I was a child, and I haven't remembered anything else."

"Do you want to dig lotus root today?"

Zhou Heng's cheeks trembled, this thing can't be a little sympathetic, he is thinking about the deceased, even if he is not comforted, he still mentions the matter of digging lotus roots?

At this moment, the brocade-clothed man walked in, holding a lotus leaf rolled into a conical shape in his hand, which was ...... Went to fetch water.

Zhou Heng's worried heart relaxed, and he hurriedly approached to stop the movement of the brocade man.

"Uncle, don't give your son water for the time being, even if you want to drink it, you still drink boiling water, such raw water is not good for the healing of the injured."

I don't know if it was because of the old man, or Zhou Heng's careful explanation, the brocade man didn't step forward again, turned around and wanted to throw away the lotus leaf, but Zhou Heng stopped his movements.

"This water can wash Childe's face."

The brocade man nodded, lifted his robe and tore off a white lining, dipped it in water to wipe the young man's face, and with the movement, the young man woke up leisurely.

"Hmm...... Xiao Bo ......"

Before the young man could say anything else, the brocade-clothed man preemptively said, "Childe, are you awake?" ”

The young man looked around and asked suspiciously:

"Huh? Where is this, didn't I drop the trap by the horse? ”

The brocade man nodded and said hurriedly:

"That's right, Childe was injured, he rushed here last night and encountered hail, so he had no choice but to rest here, but fortunately he met a young man who escaped from the world and treated the injury for you, and now he no longer has a high fever."

The young man looked behind the brocade-clothed man and nodded slightly towards Zhou Heng.

"Thank you for saving me."

Zhou Heng paused, should he say that he is not enough to worry about at this time?

No, what if you talk about silver?

Zhou Heng smiled at the young man, bowed slightly, and then looked at the man in brocade.

"Childe is polite, the doctor is a livelihood to treat the injured, it is already dawn at this time, if you want to hire a car to leave, you can let Brother Xue do it for you, he is very familiar with this Lingshan Village."

The brocade-clothed man tidied up the quilt for the young man, then got up, took out a piece of broken silver from his purse and threw it to Boss Xue.

"Then there is labor, we have to go to Qingping County, this is the money for the carriage and horses."

Boss Xue looked at Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng was very depressed at this time, this old man was generous with hiring a car, he didn't know much about how much broken silver was, but it was more than enough to hire a car.

What should I do now, do I want to pay the consultation fee myself?

Zhou Heng rolled his eyes and bowed towards the young man and the brocade-clothed man.

"This son, you need to rest in bed for some time, the sutures of the wound need to be removed after eight days, the wound should not be wet, you need to be careful not to eat hair in your diet, and you can also take a decoction to nourish the body......"

Before Zhou Heng finished speaking, the brocade-clothed man raised his hand to stop Zhou Heng's words.

"Please also ask Xiao Langzhong to follow the old man to Qingping County for a few days, rest assured that the old man will not be short of you."

When Boss Xue heard that Zhou Heng was going to be taken away, he stopped doing it in an instant, his eyes widened, and he shouted with a stalk on his neck:

"This can't be done, the forty-two stones of wheat in the village have not been returned, and he can't leave."

Zhou Heng held his forehead, if this goods were not stopped, he would pour everything into his own hands, thinking of this, he quickly turned around and grabbed Boss Xue's arm and winked at him.

"Brother Xue, don't worry, the old man and the son look like they are the ones who pay the bills, the consultation fee has been negotiated, enough to pay the forty-two stone wheat money, you go and hire a car quickly."

Boss Xue is not a fool, seeing Zhou Heng say this, he obviously has a plan, but he is still not very relieved, he didn't move his nest at all, and he still stood in place.

The young man lying on the ground reached out and grabbed the arm of the brocade man.

"Uncle Xiao, pay the consultation fee to this benevolent father, it seems that they also have something unspeakable."

Zhou Heng hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed down, these two people looked like rich and noble people, and they had thighs to hug quickly, at least they could solve their urgent needs.

"There are a lot of sons, don't call Zhou Mou Engong, call me Zhou Heng, Zhou Dafu or Zhou Xiaolangzhong! As for what this old man is worried about, I know that since he has healed his son, he will naturally do his best, after all, he will have to remove the stitches for his son later, and as for this injury, if there is a recurrence, it is easy to deal with it. ”

The young man nodded at the brocade-clothed man, who opened his purse, took out two ingots of silver, and presented them to Zhou Heng.

"Yesterday I said that I would pay you twenty-five taels of silver, but the silver taels that I brought with the old man when I went out are not much, I will pay you twenty taels first, you can rest assured, and when my son-in-law recovers, there will be heavy thanks."

Zhou Heng hurriedly bowed down again, glancing at Boss Xue who was staring wide-eyed at his side, just by looking at his expression.

According to what this brocade man said, one stone of rice and half a tael of silver, the wheat must be much cheaper than this, and forty-two stones is a village's field endowment, which must be a huge amount of money, otherwise Boss Xue would never guard himself like this.

Then these twenty taels are definitely enough to repay the wheat money, as for Brother Zhang's house, I don't know how much money is needed, and the livelihood after following them to Qingping County also needs to be turnover, Zhou Heng was a little hesitant for a while.

After a little hesitation, Zhou Heng handed over the two ingots of silver to Boss Xue together.

"I don't know how many taels of silver it will take for Maizi and Brother Zhang to repair the house, let's use all of these first, and then talk about it after it's not enough."

Boss Xue was stunned with the silver in his hand, and raised his eyes to see Zhou Hengjian's extremely serious appearance, obviously not joking, blinking.

"You wait, I'll hire a car, and then hand over the silver to the Xue family patriarch and let him decide."

After speaking, there was no shadow for a while, and the man in brocade looked at the door of the temple, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhou Heng.

"He, is he from your family?"
