Chapter 34: Accidental Collision
You don't have to look up to look closely, just say that the rain of broad beans hurts when it hits the backbone, and the leopard feels that it is not rain in the sky at all, it is the dragon lord pouring water on the ground!
Only then did the sick and dying daughter-in-law of the Xie Men Shen family wrap her in cotton wool and put her on a rack car, and the grass hut that was not built well was caused by the heavy rain to collapse. It was easy to snatch the only thin quilt from the grass hut and throw it into Xie Menshen's hands to prop it up as a rain shelter.
Xie Menshen, who was originally infinitely powerful, saw his daughter-in-law burned red again, and her teeth were clucking, and his strength was nine out of nine, and he stretched out a thin quilt and ran with the rack car all the way crookedly, not to mention being able to pull this heavy frame car.
One of the six children sitting in the car had just been weaned, and he was wrapped in some torn clothes and let the eldest daughter of the Xie Men family hold him, and he had already cried in the heavy rain and his throat was cracked, and he squeaked like a kitten about to die. The rest of the children were even scared and cold, and they were crying in the rain!
There was no one on the street, and there were a few places under the eaves called Hanako, and they were all drenched by the cold rain, and they didn't move even if the rain washed over their white arms and legs. Seeing the rain and the strong wind, the shops on the street were afraid that the wind and rain would wet the goods and wash away the store, so they went up to the door panel as early as when the rain came down, leaving only a dim oil lamp in the store, and a wisp of light shimmered through the crack in the door.
Stretching out his hand to wipe a handful of the rain that covered his eyes, Xiang Youbao looked left and right at the shops on the street, and turned his head to shout at Xie Menshen, who was following closely by the rack car: "Uncle Xie, where is the pharmacy you are talking about?!" It's two streets away! ”
Zhang looked around in a panic, and Xie Menshen, who was already in a daze, almost cried: "I also remember that I was close to here, and when I passed by last month, I clearly remembered that there was something, why can't I find it?!" ”
Ignoring the god Xie Men, who was so anxious that he stomped his feet, Xiang Youbao tried to keep his eyes open, and through the light shining through the cracks in the doors of the shops on both sides of the street, he finally saw a big old gourd hanging from side to side by a door not far away, which was swaying from side to side by the strong wind.
With the last strength added to his feet, Xiang Youbao dragged the heavy frame car to the closed door, raised his arm that was already sore, as if it was making people cramp, and slammed it on the rain-soaked door panel with several punches: "Open the door!" Save people! ”
In the almost throatless shout, a dim light peeked through the crack in the closed door. With the dull sound of the lower latch, within a moment, the originally closed door leaf was gently moved.
He didn't bother to look up at the man with the oil lamp standing in the door, but the leopard slammed open the other door that had been latched down, and dragged the cart straight into the door.
As if he didn't expect the person outside the door to rush into the door so recklessly with a frame car, the person who opened the door couldn't dodge and was about to drop the gas lamp in his hand to the ground, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What are you doing here?" Hitting people's portals, this is a violation of the king's law! ”
Listening to the voice of the person who opened the door, the voice was sharp and tender, but there was a leopard but he didn't have time to think about it, he just turned around and hugged his fists and said: "Doctor, you are good, hurry up and save people!" ”
Like a frightened deer, the man holding the air death lantern suddenly flashed backwards, and shouted at Xiang Youbao in surprise: "But I'm not a doctor!" ”
Raising his head in surprise, by the light of the dead wind oil lamp, Xiang Youbao saw that it was a girl about the same age as Nalan who opened the door. Wearing a white dress, lake blue trousers, and a round face that still has a bit of childishness, he is looking at himself with his mouth wide open in surprise!
Raising his finger and pointing to the old gourd swinging around with the wind outside the door, Xiang Youbao hurriedly said to the girl: "Dare you not be a doctor?" Then this is also a pharmacy, you can also take a look at this patient, and take a life-saving medicine first! ”
Shaking her head in surprise again, the girl with a childish round face exclaimed, "It's a pharmacy! But what I sell here is all medicine for flowers and herbs, and some medicines for cats and dogs. I don't have any medicine for people! ”
looked at Xie Menshen who was completely stupid and was completely stupid, and there was a gurgling sound in the throat of the leopard, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence towards Xie Menshen: "Uncle Xie, didn't you say that this is a pharmacy?" But this is not selling human medicine, it is selling animal flowers and herbs! It's half a peer with us, it's a service thing, don't serve people, don't serve people! ”
With a dull look, Xie Men God listened to the involuntary roar of Xiang Youbao, roared half violently, and slammed his head into the half-open door beside him!
It seems that she has just seen that there is a patient in the messy cotton wool on the rack car, and the girl holding the oil lamp first closed the door that was constantly shaking by the strong wind, and then turned her head and shouted to Xiang Youbao, who was stunned on the side of the rack car: "Xian Sensei is in a hurry, hurry up and help me carry the patient into the house!" I'm sick like this, and I can't get a little cold or rain anymore! ”
With a lot of strength, the girl looked back at Xiang Youbao, who was still standing in place, and raised her voice suddenly: "Still stupid? Don't want to save people?! And the kid was carried to the back room! Fast! ”
It was as if driven by the undoubted meaning in the little girl's voice, and the suspicious Xiang Youleopard dragged Xie Menshen, who was still standing next to the frame car: "Uncle Xie, hurry up and take a hand!" ”
As if waking up from a dream, Xie Menshen, who bumped out a big bag on his head, picked up his skinny daughter-in-law and walked towards the room pointed out by the little girl. And behind Xie Menshen, Xiang Youbao also took the baby who was already crying silently from the arms of Xie Menshen's eldest daughter, but his small mouth was still opening and closing, and walked into the back room in his arms.
Although this is a pharmacy for flowers, cats and dogs, the rows of medicine shelves are not much less than those of time-honored pharmacies such as Tong Ren Tang. In front of the medicine shelf, there are two long tables covered with white cloths, which look like medical tables for cats and dogs. The most eye-catching thing is that in the glass-door cabinet next to the two examination tables, there are boxes of medicine boxes printed with foreign languages, as well as some needles and needles soaked in glass bottles!
Just looking at those shiny needles and needles, Xiang Youbao suddenly said to the little girl who followed him to the back room: "You are a foreign doctor?" A foreign doctor who treats flowers and plants, cats and dogs? ”
Ignoring the leopard's question, the little girl who approached the back room just nodded slightly, then walked to the glass cabinet by herself, took out a bottle of alcohol and poured it on her palm, but then smiled at the leopard: "There are clean clothes in the low cabinet that sticks to the root of the wall, regardless of the size or width, let the child in your hand and the children outside change it first!" Being poured by the heavy rain like this, good people have to be sick, let alone children! ”
Here, Xiang Youbao hurriedly changed the children with dry clothes, but the little girl waved her hand to Xie Menshen, who was standing by the consultation table stupidly with her daughter-in-law: "Put the patient down, you go out quickly!" ”
A neatly folded stack of white coats was found from the low cabinet attached to the wall, and the leopard returned to the lobby outside with the god of Shammon, who had been driven out of the back room by the little girl.
Although Xie Menshen was holding a thin quilt to cover it, in the pouring rain, several children sitting on the shelf car were drenched all over their bodies. Just a moment after entering the house, several children were already shivering from the cold, and they involuntarily hugged each other to keep warm.
Shaking off the white coat in his hand, Xiang Youbao took off his soaked clothes and wrung them out, as if it was a hand towel to wipe the bodies of a few children, which made a few children change into dry white coats.
Rummaging over the dripping shelf car, Xiang Youbao finally took out a bag of dry snacks from under an upside-down wooden barrel, opened it and handed it to a few children who were still cold and their lips were blue: "Make do with something to eat first!" When you have something to chew in your mouth, your body will warm up! ”
After this toss, several children were already hungry. Except for the eldest girl, who took the baby in the leopard's arms, and fed the baby with her own chewed snacks, the other children, after being divided into a few pieces of dry snacks, all gobbled up, stretching their necks to swallow the dry snacks that had not yet been chewed a few bites.
Stepping out of the rack car, he took out a bottle of Baogu Shochu, Xiang Youbao tore off the corn cob stopper on the bottle, and poured a big sip into his mouth first, and then stretched out the coarse porcelain bottle to Xie Menshen's eyes: "Uncle Xie, how many sips can you also drink to block the cold?" ”
Mu Ran took the wine bottle, Xie Menshen drank most of the inferior Baogu Shochu in one go, but still didn't say a word, just stared directly at the lit back room, as if he wanted to see if his daughter-in-law was safe through the low hanging curtain.
With a slight sigh, Xiang Youbao opened his mouth towards Xie Menshen, but he couldn't say anything.
The sound of wind and rain outside the house became louder and louder, and the lightning flashed from the sky, drawing a gap between the dark sky from time to time. Whenever the lightning flashed and the thunder suddenly sounded, the children who had already eaten all the snacks would hug each other and look at the dark sky with fear, just as some hideous monsters would suddenly emerge from the dark sky and take away their loved ones
Wordlessly, he approached the trembling children, and Xiang Youbao squatted down, stretched his arms as much as he could, and held the children in the crooks of his arms, like a bear guarding his cubs!
I don't know how long it took, the curtain leading to the inner room was lifted, and the little girl who had changed into a white coat walked out with light steps, and before she could speak, she made a silent gesture to Xie Menshen who stood up suddenly, and then said to Xie Menshen and Xiang Youbao in a thin voice: "It should be tuberculosis, I'm afraid it's been delayed for a long time, if I don't happen to have a few Western medicines from foreign countries here, I'm afraid it's really a little hanging!" ”
With his hands pierced, Xie Menshen trembled and asked, "Then now"
Putting her two hands in the pockets of her white coat, the little girl with a round face nodded slightly: "I just got an injection, and now I'm asleep!" Go back and go to Tongrentang to find a doctor in the hall to prescribe a prescription, grab a few doses of symptomatic medicine and take it, and it will be no big deal! Look, the rain won't stop today, you will deal with it here for the night at night, and when the rain stops, you will be able to do it again."
With a pop, the tall and tall Xie Men God weakened his knees, knelt straight in front of the little girl, and cried out silently: "Doctor, you saved my daughter-in-law, this great kindness and my Xie Men God should leave a name, I will go home and offer you the immortal tablet every day."
Looking at Xie Menshen, who was kneeling on the ground and not much shorter than himself, and then looking at the few sensible children who also knelt on the ground, the little girl with a round face in long clothes suddenly waved her hand and took a few steps back, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't do this! Hurry up and get up, I tell you, my name is Xiahou Yinghe, you get up quickly"
