26. Hope

The two walked all the way, and Xu Xiaole felt that it was embarrassing, so he took the initiative to speak: "Old man Li, why don't you live in Xuwang Temple?" ”

Li Xiqiang blew his beard: "Little thief!" Didn't your father teach you to respect the old and the virtuous? ”

Xu Xiaole pouted: "They didn't have time to teach." Okay, okay, we're all kind to each other. Don't call me a thief, and I won't call you an old man. ”

Li Xiqiang thinks about what kind of anger he treats with a child? This child can be regarded as his grandchildren. He just wanted to say, "Xu Wangmiao called a few rich people, so I had to rush back overnight", but he felt that this was too embarrassing and damaged his image as a master, so he pretended to make a gesture and said: "It's not because of your sister-in-law's illness!" ”

Xu Xiaole was stunned for a moment and said, "What? ”

Li Xiqiang said: "Your sister-in-law refuses to ask me for treatment, but the longer her illness drags on, the worse her health becomes." I felt very uneasy about it, so I decided to rush back overnight to ask my uncle to come out. ”

Xu Xiaole didn't expect that he would be able to meet such an old-fashioned and enthusiastic person. And it's really shocking that this ancient way hot intestine still appears on such a lewd old scoundrel.

The shock was so great that Xu Xiaole couldn't find the north!

Xu Xiaole said sincerely: "Thank you, Lao Litou." ”

Li Xiqiang was so angry that he was dizzy for a while: "I now know how your sister-in-law is sick!" You must be! ”

Xu Xiaole disagreed: "I haven't told her to worry about it since I was a child, if I want to say that I am angry, I would have been angry a long time ago, why is it only happening now?" ”

Li Xiqiang said with a look of disdain: "You don't know much, you can't understand." And what about the disease brought out of the mother's womb, what is so strange about the root of the disease that was planted a few years ago? ”

Xu Xiaole was also famous in the town for his sharp teeth, faceless and skinless, and when he met Li Xiqiang, who was even more shameless and more iron-toothed than him, he really lost in age. He took the initiative to avoid medicine, which he was not good at, and asked, "You are all this age, can your uncle still see a doctor?" ”

Li Xiqiang said with a smile: "His old man is a Taoist priest - a Taoist master!" I don't even know how old he is, but he looked like he was forty or fifty when I didn't have a beard, and now I have gray hair, and he's still like that. ”

Xu Xiaole didn't believe it: "Isn't that an immortal!" ”

Li Xiqiang said: "For him, becoming an immortal is just a result. Maybe one day he suddenly doesn't want to stay in this world, and as soon as he throws away this skin, he will go to fairyland. ”

Xu Xiaole listened with some yearning and asked, "How do you become an immortal?" Your uncle can, so is your master also a Taoist? Have you become an immortal? What about you? ”

Li Xiqiang was a little upset when he heard him ask like a bead: "Where did you come from so many questions!" Let's think about your sister-in-law first. If my uncle is willing to come to the rescue, your sister-in-law will naturally be able to get better. If my uncle refuses to come to the rescue, then what will you do? ”

Xu Xiaole's scalp tingled when he heard this, and said, "Then I will study hard and save my sister-in-law by myself." ”

Li Xiqiang sneered: "Hehe, medical skills are too easy to learn." No wonder there are so many quacks in the world who kill people. ”

Xu Xiaole is quite allergic to the word "quack", and his heart can't help but be shaken by his desire to study medicine to save his sister-in-law. He asked, "How much silver does your uncle need to save people?" ”

Li Xiqian shook his head: "Virtuous master, silver is a piece of filth in his eyes." It's not that he doesn't like silver, but he can get it anywhere he wants. The key depends on fate. ”

"Fate?"

Li Xiqiang said as a matter of course: "Yes, people don't owe you, and it is merciful to save people." If fate is not enough, it is only natural to stand by and watch. ”

No matter how much silver he wants, Xu Xiaole always has a bottom in his heart. If you say that you can't see and touch fate, it's too much for him to lose. The rest of the way he kept his head down and walked, and he didn't have the heart to speak. Li Xiqiang teased him several times, but he didn't pay attention to it, all thinking about what to do with his sister-in-law's illness.

When the two arrived outside Suzhou, it was not yet dawn, and they sat in the teahouse outside the city for a while before the city gate opened. Li Xiqiang said to Xu Xiaole: "Don't worry, follow me back to the Yaowang Temple first, and the crude medicine shop will not open until dawn." ”

Xu Xiaole muttered: "Then I'll go to the door of the shop and wait, what's the matter with you?" ”

Li Xiqiang saw Xu Xiaole so low, and he was a little unaccustomed: "My uncle also lives in Yaowang Temple. ”

Xu Xiaole immediately frowned. He has suffered gains and losses along the way, and he has saved a little hope in the "uncle" who was blown into an immortal. As a result, as soon as Li Xiqiang said this, the image of the immortal was suddenly shattered, and he became a traveling doctor who rattled the bell and sold medicine.

Li Xiqiang smacked his lips and said: "That's a master in the world, if you live in a deep mansion compound, isn't it vulgar!" ”

Xu Xiaole did not delve into the problem of vulgarity. It's just that I'm restless at the moment, and it's a little too early to really guard the door of someone's door - it's not good if someone thinks it's a debt collector.

Li Xiqiang pulled softly and hard, and really took Xu Xiaole to Yaowang Temple, found him a small pier as a bench, and asked him to sit under the eaves of the corridor outside the main hall, and went to talk to his uncle.

Xu Xiaole buried his head, and he didn't know where Li Xiqiang went. I don't know how long it took to be in a daze, but it was dawn, and no one came out to talk to him. He originally had a temperament that couldn't stop, and he saved up a lot of anger, and finally gathered to the breaking point and jumped up violently.

A few traveling doctors who were about to go out nearby saw it, and thought he was a patient with epilepsy, and scolded in their hearts: I don't know whose patient it is, I really have no public morality, and this kind of madness should be tied up with a chain!

Xu Xiaole didn't notice that someone was walking around him, but just walked around the courtyard with his head covered and his head covered, and set his eyes on the main hall of the Medicine King.

The main hall is dedicated to the medicine king Sun Zhenren, which he is very familiar with, knowing that this Sun Zhenren is a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty and a first-class figure of immortals. Because his writings were passed down by later generations of doctors, and he was the ancestor of those who studied medicine could not bypass him, he was called the king of medicine, and he was worshiped everywhere.

Xu Xiaole entered the main hall, it was dark inside, and he couldn't see things clearly until his eyes got used to it. The left and right were originally supposed to be accompanied by sages, but the one on the right left only a pedestal. The one on the left is better, leaving a pair of legs.

Sun Zhenren was sitting in the middle, the colored powder on his body was peeling, one black and one yellow, and his left palm was gone, revealing a mud embryo filled with straw. It was about the rain leaking from the top of his head, and his entire face was covered with water marks, which were pulled from his eyelids to his chin, as if tears were pouring down.

Xu Xiaole raised his head, looked at it, and cried uncontrollably.
