Chapter 29: Digging a Pit to Heal the Sick (1)

At this time, Er Shunzi, who had been on the side and had not spoken, suddenly said to the woman: "As long as you talk a lot, if other doctors can't do it, you know that my husband can't do it?" My uncle, who is 70 years old, has back pain that he can't walk a few steps, and he is almost paralyzed, but he has not been cured by the two gentlemen. Don't think that if the doctors in your county can't see the disease, we can't cure the disease in the countryside." The woman was choked by Ershunzi and was speechless for a while, blinking her eyes and not speaking for a long time. When he was silent, the gentleman said: "It's strange, your pulse is not blocked by your qi and blood, even if there is some weakness, it is caused by long-term bedridden, how can you not stand up?" ”

I saw Zhou Bingrui say a little unhappily: "Sir, if you pretend to be sick, you won't even hide your wife." The gentleman smiled and said to Zhou Bingrui: "No, the old man didn't say that you were pretending to be sick, but he couldn't understand why you were paralyzed when you were fine." After pondering for a while, he said to Xiao Zheng: "Apprentice, you can also come and have a look." Xiao Zheng walked over and grabbed Zhou Bingrui's wrist, and found that his pulse was no different from that of ordinary people, and his qi and blood were not blocked, so he found a needle and gently scratched Zhou Bingrui's foot a few times, and the reaction was normal, but I couldn't understand why he couldn't stand up. So he closed his eyes and thought for a while and said to his husband, "Master, we can cure this disease, but we have to go back to our house to treat it." Mr. just wanted to ask Xiao Zheng why, but Xiao Zheng gave him a look and stopped Mr. 's words.

The woman was also overjoyed when she heard Xiao Zheng's words, and hurriedly said to the gentleman: "Two gentlemen, the little woman has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, what medicine do you two need, or how much money do you use, you just ask." The man in my family is the pillar of the family, and now the little woman is the one who supports the family and the outside, and life is indeed a little difficult." Xiao Zheng said to the woman: "The disease that your man has is quite tricky, but it is not incurable, in the past two days, you ask Ershunzi to show you the way to our village, remember, you can only pass around the unitary time, too early, too late." Bring more money, if we can't cure the disease, we won't take a penny, and if we cure it, we will collect money." When the woman heard this, she quickly thanked her.

The group didn't stay at Zhou's house too much, and after the diagnosis, they got up and walked directly out of the county seat to their home, and when they got out of the city gate, Mr. Cheng asked Xiao Zheng: "Apprentice, how did you see his illness, but how did you treat it?" Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Master: "Master, in fact, this person is not suffering from a physical disease, but a heart disease, and he was frightened by the first gentleman to treat him. He can stand up when he examines his body, but he doesn't dare to stand up because of the strange feeling in his heart, and this heart disease has to be cured by heart medicine, and sometimes this treatment does not necessarily require medicine, we have to think of other ways to cure it." Whispering in Mr.'s ear, Mr. After hearing the strange look on his face, he pointed his finger at Xiao Zheng, opened his mouth and didn't speak. Taking advantage of Xiao Zheng's inattention, he knocked a popcorn on his head, and then said with a smile: "How did I teach you such an eccentric apprentice to come out, your treatment method is a bit too damaging, and if it is cured, it will be fine, if it is not cured, it depends on how you explain it to your family, and the old man will accompany you to be embarrassed."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Sure to be cured!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and whispered to Xiao Hai and a few brothers, Xiao Hai and a few people couldn't hold back their laughter after listening to it, Er Shunzi snorted for a long time, his face was red and his neck was thick, and he thought about it and said to Xiao Zheng: "I believe in Mr. and you, but you can't ruin my reputation." Xiao Hai kicked Er Shunzi again and said, "You are a fucking farmer who also deserves fame." Xiao Zheng smiled and said to Dong Ershun: "Brother Shunzi, the key person here is going to look at you, don't mess it up." Otherwise, this cure will really not work, and then you will really cheat your cousin." Ershun said: "Don't worry, I can't do anything else, I can still endure this for my cousin."

At dusk the next day, the Zhou family and Dong Ershun drove an oxcart to Shenhe Bay, and Mr. gave Zhou Bingrui a pulse diagnosis, and after he finished diagnosing his pulse, he said to Zhou: "I see that your complexion is not too good, come, I will also show you", Zhou was stunned for a moment and did not refuse to stretch out his wrist to Mr. After diagnosing the pulse of the husband and wife, Mr. Zhou Bingrui asked Zhou Bingrui to take a dose of medicinal soup that had just been boiled. After drinking, the gentleman said to Zhou: "You are also a little vain these days, be careful not to catch a cold." Then he said to the husband and wife: "But the old man, this medicine is not cheap, this decoction will charge you the usual money", Zhou Bingrui looked at Mr. in confusion and said: "Sir, is your pack of medicine so good?" Are you sure this will cure me tonight? The gentleman smiled and said, "No problem, after tonight, your illness will be cured."

Zhou asked Mr. with some displeasure: "Sir, didn't you say yesterday that you don't charge money for curing a bad disease?" The gentleman stroked his beard and smiled: "I will cure your illness, why don't you take money?" The husband and wife of the Zhou family glanced at each other, and they had no choice but to grit their teeth and take the money and hand it to Mr. You can go back, it's okay tonight after this illness, I won't leave anyone here at night", the gentleman took the money and drove the couple and Dong Ershun out of the house.

The three of them drove the ox cart out of Mr.'s house, and as soon as they arrived at the corner of the village, Zhou couldn't help but scold: "What a bullshit village doctor, at first glance, he is an old fool, and he said that tomorrow will be fine, this old liar will almost die tonight, I bah!" ”。 Zhou Bingrui sat in the car and didn't speak, and when Zhou finished scolding, he sighed and said: "Madam, we were fooled this time, but fortunately, we didn't spend much money, let's be fooled once, don't look for this kind of village doctor in the future, these individuals are all charlatans."

Dong Ershun, who was driving the car, was a little unhappy when he heard it, turned his head to Zhou and said, "Who are you scolding?" The old gentleman is a well-known good person in our village, and I called my cousin to see a doctor, doesn't you scold him for scolding me! Then he threw his whip down on the cart and strode forward, and the cart was gone, and in a moment the man disappeared into the night.

Zhou was angry and anxious when he saw it, his heart was full of anger, and he pointed to the direction where Dong Ershun was far away and said to Zhou Bingrui: "This dead cousin is also a stupid melon, he was deceived by others and helped others count money, and it was also a loss for you to play with him since you were a child, okay, now that everyone is gone, we have to rush back at night, what if we meet Xiangma?" Complaining to complaining, the husband and wife had to drive the ox cart and take advantage of the moonlight to slowly walk along the road.

Not far from the village, I turned a small mound, and suddenly seven or eight masked men jumped out from behind the mound, holding knives, guns and sticks, and one of the leading men saw the Zhou family and his wife shouting: "Rob!" Zhou Bingrui couldn't move his legs and feet, but he had seen the world, so he sat in the car and spoke: "Uncles, my husband and wife still have some money in the car, you can take it, ask a few to let go of the next and Mrs.", the leading horse slashed the knife and said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take out the money."

Zhou Bingrui shuddered and handed out a package from the car, and the man snatched it and said, "It's not bad, brothers, we met a fat sheep today." After thinking about it and saying: "You two also leave the ox cart to the uncle", Zhou Bingrui said with a crying voice: "Uncle, the villain is a paralyzed person, how to go home after leaving the car." "Less nonsense!" The leading Xiangma dragged Zhou Bingrui off the car, and shouted to the people behind: "Get this woman back to Lao Tzu to be Mrs. Zhai", and a man immediately walked over behind him like an eagle catching a chicken, regardless of Zhou's desperate resistance, carrying Zhou's as if walking from a distance.
