A few days passed in the blink of an eye, in addition to coming to the restaurant every day, Lin Mo was to take Zhao En to and from school, or to read books in the house by himself, after all, knowledge is the primary productive force, Lin Mo wanted to master more knowledge in this life.

The business of the restaurant has been very prosperous, and when the restaurant was closed at night and sat on the bench to rest, Zhao Heng proposed to rent the shop on the side and change it into a restaurant to expand the scale of the restaurant. No matter how bad it is, you have to add some tables, chairs and benches, so that you can entertain more guests and make more money.

But Lin Mo was clearly opposed, and Lin Mo explained to several people:

"When I first opened a restaurant in Qiannan, why did I choose to open every morning when I opened the restaurant, closed at midnight, and closed at night?"

Zhao Heng was the first to reply:

"I know it's because there were a large number of people going to Chanan at that time."

"What else?"

Zhao Heng thought about it and shook his head, and Sister-in-law Zhao instantly understood

"Xiao Mo, are you afraid of conflicts with other restaurants?"

Lin Mo glanced at Sister-in-law Zhao appreciatively and said with a smile

"Sister-in-law Zhao still understands me, you think about it, we have made such a big move when we opened, people come and go every day, and business is booming, which will obviously be remembered by peers. But it's been so long, why is it okay. The reason is not only that we have the support of these people from Majia County, but that ordinary restaurants dare not provoke us, after all, there are some restaurants such as Yuelaiju who don't even dare to provoke the county order, why not target us. The main reason is that our restaurant is too small compared to other restaurants, even if the business is good, the daily customer flow may not even be able to reach the third or fourth floors of other large restaurants, such as Yuelaiju. Although these are some losses for them, they are not so painful, and there is no need to offend us for these guests. These big restaurants don't care, and even if they care, small restaurants don't dare to do anything about us. ”

Lin Mo continued

"But if we expand our business, we will inevitably attract more customers, which will hurt the muscles and bones of the big restaurants, and it will be to snatch meat from their mouths to eat. How can they still tolerate us and live in peace with us, after all, we have only arrived in Chenan, and the foundation is unstable, once there is a big restaurant like Yuelaiju to take the lead, we don't want to continue to stay in Chennan, even if it is inconvenient for the Ma family to fight with the people behind those restaurants for us. ”

After speaking, Lin Mo looked at everyone. Zhao En suddenly realized,

"That Xiao Mo deliberately raised the price of vegetables, and he was unwilling to reduce it, but in fact, it was also to reduce the number of diners." Lin Mo nodded

"Our restaurant is aimed at those wealthier diners, so that a lot of money is made, and it also reduces the number of diners, and reduces the hostility of other restaurants to us, killing two birds with one stone."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and Lin Mo concluded

"We're just here to make money, but think a little further and don't offend too many people for the sake of what we see. When others eat meat, we drink soup, we don't have to be competitive, when the first, the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

Sister-in-law Zhao looked at Lin Mo and said: "Sometimes I really think that Xiao Mo is a shrewd businessman who has passed the age of confusion, and what he says can always be refreshing and beneficial." ”

Lin Mo smiled bitterly: "I just think a little more, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, after all, we don't have any backing, we have to be careful, otherwise we will be easily crushed by others like a clay man." ”

"Young Master Cousin really has extraordinary insights, I admire it."

A human voice suddenly came from outside the door, startling Lin Mo and the others.

Lin Mo hurriedly opened the door, and the person who came was Steward Zhang, Lin Mo hurriedly invited someone to the house.

"When did Steward Zhang come, he didn't say a word, and stood for a long time."

"After listening to the guidance of the young master, it is worth standing for a long time."

Lin Mo smiled: "It's so late, what do you have to do here?"

When Steward Zhang heard this, his face suddenly became solemn.

looked at Lin Mo and said, "Young Master Cousin, I want to say something, but don't be too excited." ”

Listening to Steward Zhang's words, Lin Mo suddenly had a strong bad premonition. Steward Zhang continued:

"Xin'er suddenly became seriously ill and is now in a coma, and the doctor is doing his best to treat her."

Lin Mo listened to the mountain shaking in an instant, and his feet were unstable and he almost fell to the ground. Zhao En and Steward Zhang hurriedly helped Lin Mo up, but Lin Mo only said, "Quick, take me over." ”

Steward Zhang helped Lin Mo to sit in the car outside the house, and the coachman drove quickly towards Mafu.

Lin Mo's thoughts were disordered along the way, and he kept thinking back to Liu Xin'er's lively and cheerful pictures in the past, and his face that was always smiling suddenly became extremely white and dying, and Lin Mo's heart ached.

Lin Mo has never felt so painful, if Liu Xin'er really has three longs and two shorts, Lin Mo really doesn't know if he can bear it, and he doesn't know if Liu Kui can bear it.

Lin Mo just wants to see Liu Xin'er as soon as possible, Lin Mo can't lose Liu Xin'er, and Liu Kui can't lose his only daughter, for him, his daughter is his everything.

Steward Zhang looked at Lin Mo's anxious expression, and his face showed a little unbearable.

Comforted:

"Don't worry, young master, the house has already invited the best doctor in Yunzhou to treat Xin'er, and it will be fine."

Lin Mo listened and nodded,

"What the hell is wrong with Xin'er? Why did you suddenly get sick?" Steward Zhang shook his head

"The young master and the young lady are not in the house today, Xin'er has lost her appetite and is not in good spirits these days, so the young lady asked them to stay in the house to rest, and went to the nunnery to pray for blessings and vows. As a result, when Miss came back half an hour ago, she found Xin'er lying motionless on the bed, angry, so Miss hurriedly asked someone to find a doctor, and then asked me to come over and inform Master Cousin. ”

When Lin Mo heard this, he became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but urge

"Coachman, hurry up."

The coachman said with some embarrassment

"Today, the carriage was used by the second lady to pray for blessings in the nunnery outside the city, and she came back in the evening, and the horses didn't rest, they had no strength, and they couldn't go faster."

Lin Mo was a little angry when he heard this, but he couldn't help it, he was in a mess now that he cared about it, and it was already a mess. Steward Zhang thought for a long time and said to Lin Mo:

"Young Master Cousin, if Xin'er is fine, you can take Xin'er back to General Town, get married, and the two of you will live a good life in the future."

Lin Mo was a little speechless when he heard it, when did he still think about getting married, he just made a faint hum and took it as a response.

Steward Zhang was about to continue talking, but he opened his mouth and swallowed the words back.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Ma Mansion, and Lin Mo jumped out of the carriage and went straight to the Ma Mansion.

Steward Zhang followed, Xiao San was already waiting for Lin Mo to arrive at the door, and when he saw Lin Mo coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, Lin Mo waved his hand and asked Xiao San to quickly lead the way.

After a while, Lin Mo came to Xin'er's room, which was full of people, and Liu Xin'er was lying on the bed, her face was pale and weak.

A person who looked like a doctor was taking Liu Xin'er's pulse, Lin Mo hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Ma Ruoya suddenly grabbed Lin Mo and signaled him not to disturb the doctor's diagnosis.

Lin Mo had no choice but to stand on the side and stare dryly, while Ma Ruoya's face was very bad, her eyes were red with circles, and she knew that she had just cried at a glance.

Ma Ruoya's hands were clenched tightly, and her nails were already deep in the flesh, but she didn't feel it at all. Seeing this, Lin Mo secretly touched Ma Ruoyan with his hand and whispered

"Relax, I'm here."

Ma Ruoya's original anxious mood, after listening to Lin Mo's words, she instantly saw the clouds, and suddenly felt much better, Lin Mo's words seemed to have a magical power, which made Ma Ruoya's confidence double.

At this time, the doctor withdrew his hand, shook his head, sighed and said:

"The old man is really powerless, this girl has taken poison, it has penetrated into the bone marrow, and it is difficult for the immortals, the old man really can't help this girl."

Ma Ruoya's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she fainted suddenly, Lin Mo hurriedly hugged Ma Ruoya, pinched the middle acupoint, and woke Ma Ruoyan up.

Seeing this, Ma Ruowen hurriedly asked someone to help Ma Ruoya go back to the room to rest, Ma Ruoyan pushed away the hand of the next person, and asked the doctor eagerly:

"Divine Doctor Lu, are you really helpless? You're a famous doctor in Yunzhou Mansion, you can definitely save her, right? ”

Doctor Lu shook his head and said a little lonely: "The old man is ashamed, he really can't do anything. ”

"Can anyone save her?"

Ma Ruowen asked.

"If my senior brother is here, maybe there is a way, but,"

Dr. Lu shook his head

"But he is now working as a doctor in the capital, even if he can be invited, it will be a long journey, and it will take a month to go back and forth at the earliest. By then...... Alas, let's take care of the aftermath."

Doctor Lu couldn't go on, others had already heard it, and far water couldn't quench the thirst.

Xiao San cried as soon as he heard it, Liu Xin'er usually treats him best, always takes care of him, and treats him like a younger brother, but now Liu Xin'er's life is worried, but his younger brother can only watch her die. Ma Ruoya's face was also full of sadness, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop coming.

The room was filled with a sad atmosphere. In the study room, Ma Zhiyuan listened to Steward Zhang's report, and asked a little complicatedly: "That child is really hopeless?" ”

"Doctor Lu said it himself, he can't save it."

"Well, that's it. Stand down, I'll be alone for a while. ”

Steward Zhang closed the door after exiting, looked around quietly, shook his head, and walked quickly to Liu Xin'er. Seeing that everyone was sad, Ma Ruowen sighed and said, "

Let's go out, let Xin'er finish the last journey quietly. When they heard this, they all dispersed.

Lin Mo stared at Liu Xin'er, Doctor Lu packed up his medical tools and prepared to leave, Lin Mo came to Doctor Lu and asked seriously word by word:

"What kind of poison did Xin'er get into? How long will you live?" Dr. Lu was stunned for a moment and sighed.

The old man saw that his face was pale, there were beads of sweat on his cheeks, his breathing was weak and disordered, his pulse was slow first and then slow, and the whole person seemed to be asleep. If it is as expected, it should be taken the Broken Intestine Grass, and now the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, although I gave her my secret antidote pill, but the toxicity is too strong, at most until tomorrow morning. ”

"Tomorrow morning? That's enough. ”

"Little San, you go and do something for me immediately" After speaking, he took out twenty taels of silver,

"Go to the silversmith's shop in the town, and make me two silver needles thicker than an embroidery needle, hollow in the middle, with one end sharp enough to pierce into the arm. I'm going to get it in an hour. ”

After saying that, he proposed to draw a sketch with a pen and asked the blacksmith to follow the drawing.

"Lin Mo, what are you doing here?"

"Saving lives"

"Are you unacceptable all of a sudden, a little crazy."

Ma Ruowen asked with concern. Lin Mo just shook his head lightly and said firmly:

"I'm going to save her, and no one will stop me."

"Lin Mo, be sober, Doctor Lu has already said that the poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and now no one can save it."

"How do you know that you can't save it, no one can save it, then I will be a god today, today is the Lord of Yama himself, and I will block him."
