Chapter 8 Gambling
Liang Xingfa almost pounced on the thief and treated the thief as a thief, but fortunately, he saw in time that the man was still carrying a bag of marijuana.
The thief-like man was really startled when he saw Liang Xingfa's fierce appearance like a thief appearing in front of him, and his beard was about to jump above his head in fright, and he hurriedly explained to Liang Xingfa: "Scary little brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person, I'm a good person who saves people." Please ask your master to come out for a while. ”
The man's attitude was very humble, but Liang Xingfa's heart was still uncomfortable. I thought, is it possible that if I look so low, I am only worthy of being a subordinate? There must be something wrong with his thief's eyes.
Liang Xingfa said to the man arrogantly: "If you are not sincere, do not disturb. What do you have to tell me beforehand. It's a good thing that I can let you see my master. ”
The man said, "I am Hu Langzhong." A few days ago, I saw your master Jiang Zhongxun and prescribed medicine. Now I'll come over and see if he's cured. I have always been conscientious and responsible for my patients. "I can't say why, Liang Xingfa always didn't trust him so much, and he didn't report it immediately.
"Oh, it's Hu Langzhong. I don't know if you are far away from coming. The speaker was Jiang Zhongxun, who tilted his head and walked out of the courtyard with his daughter Jiang Caiping.
Hu Langzhong smiled and said to Jiang Zhongxun: "Mr. Jiang, have you finished the medicine I prescribed to you?" ”
Jiang Zhongxun tilted his head and smiled: "Not yet." I eat ten bowls a day as you commanded, and there is quite a lot left. ”
"Ten bowls a day?" Liang Xing asked exaggeratedly.
Jiang Caiping saw Liang Xingfa's questioning face on this matter, so she explained to him: "Hu Langzhong is a very famous practitioner in Chang'an City. As soon as he sat on the ground, countless people surrounded him and begged him for help in healing. , the other person is very good, he asks about the condition in detail, and he also prescribes a lot of medicine. ”
Liang Xingfa asked her with a smile: "Is it a lot of money?" ”
Jiang Caiping was stunned for a moment, and Hu Langzhong roared at Liang Xingfa dissatisfiedly: "What this subordinate said is really fucking inferior. I have been hanging the pot for so many years, and how can it be measured by money? Don't tarnish my reputation for rejuvenation with your dog's mouth. Jiang Caiping had a gentle temperament, and hurriedly apologized to him for Liang Xingfa.
Liang Xingfa didn't want to fight with him to the death, so he turned his head to Jiang Zhongxun, who was tilting his head next to him, and asked, "Uncle Jiang." You must be very sustained after taking so many bowls of medicine every day, do you feel a little more comfortable? ”
Jiang Zhongxun replied honestly: "It doesn't seem to have any effect. Hu Langzhong's expression instantly petrified.
Liang Xingfa said: "It's obvious. This so-called Lang Zhong is a swaggering liar. The fans who begged him for medical treatment were actually the nurseries he found. Do not be deceived by him any more. ”
Hu Langzhong's already petrified expression instantly mudslided, he looked very angry, and yelled at Liang Xing: "You fucking know a fart." How can you just take medicine to get better, do you think there is an elixir in the world. Didn't I give him medicine? If you don't eat well, you will continue to eat until you are good, and if you don't eat, it will be even worse. I only charge you three taels of silver at a time, and I can't buy my medicine if I have money. Don't eat pull-down. ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, walked a few steps and turned back.
Probably because I walked so far and worked so hard to carry a bag of medicine, I was really unwilling to earn even a little hard-earned money. And just going back like this to let my companions know how much it hurts my self-esteem. So go back and save some face. He shouted and asked Liang Xingfa what is the theory of yin and yang and five elements in traditional Chinese medicine?
Liang Xingfa shook his head and said, "I haven't studied medicine, so I don't know." ”
Hu Langzhong got carried away and said, "Look, you fucking know a fart." Jinghui will talk nonsense and mislead the public, delaying Jiang Zhongxun's medical treatment. ”
Jiang Zhongxun and Jiang Caiping also complained that Liang Xingfa didn't understand it, don't be suspicious, save the good people from wronging, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot.
Liang Xingfa said: "I admit that I don't understand. You think this Hu Langzhong understands it very well. Let him memorize the theory of Chinese medicine. ”
Jiang Zhongxun and Jiang Caiping really asked Hu Langzhong to show off his profound medicine, and expressed extreme expectations, which made Hu Langzhong unable to make himself ugly. Hu Langzhong, who was embarrassed and broke out in a cold sweat, stammered and recited: "Yang during the day and Yin at night." , male is yang, female is yin. Yang has the law of yang, and yin has the law of yin. "It's a pity that he only memorized it here, and he couldn't say a word anymore. Liang Xingfa mockingly said that he didn't understand and couldn't come out to harm people, and Hu Langzhong's half bucket of water was not harmful. Annoyed and angry, he used the agitation method to relieve himself: "If you don't seek medical treatment, you won't be treated." Anyway, the illness is your own, and you won't regret it if I'm gone. ”
Jiang Zhongxun and Jiang Caiping hesitated, wanted to speak, but didn't know how to speak, and didn't know whether to keep Hu Langzhong or drive Hu Langzhong away.
Liang Xingfa saw that Jiang Zhongxun was so embarrassed, so he solemnly asked him what serious illness he had? And be ready to meet all the bad news in your heart, after all, the person who takes medicine as a meal is already dying, and he is reluctant to give up, and he must raise his spirit and try his best to help Jiang Caiping take care of all the aftermath, and finally express his regret to the deceased and express condolences to the family.
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Zhongxun told him about his condition, he almost didn't send Liang Xing to Lei Halo. His illness was not an incurable disease, but an ordinary stiff neck.
Liang Xing said angrily: "Just a stiff neck has to eat a few bags of marijuana medicine, this is too outrageous." ”
Jiang Caiping said: "But my father has had stiff neck for several years, and he has to suffer for half a day almost every day, which has a great impact on his life. ”
Hu Langzhong pointed at Liang Xingfa and said: "This kind of person doesn't hurt when he stands and talks. If you are sick and don't take medicine, will you be fine? You have the ability, you come to the doctor. ”
Liang Xingfa wants to have a gambling match with Hu Langzhong, if he can cure Jiang Zhongxun's stiff neck, then Hu Langzhong will have to run back naked from here, and he can no longer cheat in Chang'an City. If he can't be cured, then he will buy the sack of medicine in Hu Langzhong at double the price.
Jiang Zhongxun and Jiang Caiping clapped their hands when they saw the excitement.
Hu Lang's center is full of flowers, he can't wait to gamble like this, and his income is more than double for no reason. Because in his eyes, how could Liang Xingfa, who had no medical foundation, treat diseases, which was clearly stuffing money into his arms, and he was not so stupid that he couldn't get along with money.
I saw Liang Xingfa massage Jiang Zhongxun's neck and shoulder acupoints first, and Jiang Zhongxun immediately felt less pain. After a while, he put a hot towel on his neck, and then asked Jiang Zhongxun to gently twist his neck to do some exercise. Wait until the towel has cooled, remove the towel and apply a warm compress to your neck with rice vinegar soaked in gauze. About half an hour later, Jiang Zhongxun's neck that had been hurting for a long time soon stopped hurting, and he could look left and right like a normal person, and he excitedly held Liang Xingfa's hand with tears in his eyes, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Caiping also went up to hold Liang Xingfa's arm and praised him for hiding it well and seeing people.
Hu Langzhong was dumbfounded, and he didn't even notice that his tongue was bitten. He couldn't believe that this scene could be played out for real.
Liang Xingfa and the others stared at him with burning eyes, which seemed to be asking, are you doing it yourself or will we help you do it?
Hu Langzhong said to Liang Xingfa: "I am willing to gamble and lose." I'll do what I'm promised. But I want to know how you learned this, who is your master? ”
Liang Xingfa said very sincerely: "Let me tell you the truth, I really haven't studied medicine. It's just that I often fall into stiff necks, so this is a phenomenon of long-term illness becoming a good doctor. You don't have to be too inferior, people here don't understand. My master is no longer in this world, if you want to learn, I will have the opportunity to teach you again in the future. ”
Hu Langzhong shouted hello, and then quickly undressed.
Liang Xingfa saw that he was also a person who kept his promises, so he didn't have to strip naked, and he could expose his upper body, not his lower body, Jiang Caiping and children were not suitable.
After Hu Langzhong walked naked, Jiang Caiping said to Liang Xingfa that he had cooked porridge and had breakfast together.
After a while, all three had breakfast.
Jiang Caiping wanted to go to the street to buy vegetables, and wanted Liang Xingfa to follow.
It's a pity that Liang Xingfa disappointed her.
Liang Xingfa said to Jiang Caiping: "I really want to go shopping with you, but now is not the time." Because I want to ask Uncle Jiang for one thing. ”
Jiang Zhongxun and Jiang Caiping were both excited that what Liang Xingfa said in the future was that he wanted to propose marriage to them, but he was embarrassed to say it too bluntly. In fact, after two days of observation, Jiang Zhongxun felt that Liang Xingfa was very promising, different from ordinary people, and had already listed him as his fast son-in-law, as long as he was willing to put it forward, he would immediately fulfill him.
Unexpectedly, what Liang Xingfa wanted to say was not a personal relationship between children at all, but wanted Jiang Zhongxun to help inquire about something. I just want to know if Wanda, the owner of the Wanda Inn on Suzaku Street, is dead, whether the government has listed him as a wanted criminal, and what is the current condition of his good friend Wang Lun.
Jiang Zhongxun asked Liang Xingfa to heal his neck and was about to go out for a walk, so he readily agreed to him, asked him to wait for news at home, and simply cleaned up and went out with his daughter Jiang Caiping.
Liang Xingfa, who was alone at home, could only look at the history book he carried with him in order to pass the time. In ancient times, it was indeed inconvenient to watch TV and listen to music, and the leisure and entertainment of modern ordinary people such as watching TV and listening to music have become incomatiable luxuries. He can also understand ancient Chinese characters, but it is more laborious. Jiang Zhongxun had some books, but he was too lazy to read them.
In the evening, Jiang Zhongxun and Jiang Caiping came back with large bags of things.
They looked very happy after the big shopping. Jiang Caiping, in particular, chirped like a happy bird to share what she saw and heard in shopping with Liang Xingfa, and couldn't wait to instill all her happiness and insights into him.
It is undeniable that Liang Xingfa is a very economical and warm man, who takes Jiang Caiping's happiness as happiness and her exclamation as a sigh.
Jiang Caiping also asked Liang Xingfa to close his eyes and guess what she bought him back? Liang Xingfa guessed without thinking: "It should be good wine and good meat." ”
Jiang Caiping blamed him for being a foodie, he knew how to eat, and he didn't have any romance at all.
Liang Xingfa pretended to accept the lecture and confessed and begged her not to let him guess, and to announce the answer quickly.
Jiang Caiping smiled and took out two sets of clothes for him, and told him that she had carefully selected them, and asked him to try them on quickly, so that he would know that she had good taste. It was two sets of long, wide-sleeved robes, loosely tied with belts. In terms of convenience, it is certainly not as convenient as modern clothes, but this is the intention of other girls, and it can't be ruined, so he told a white lie, praising her for her unique vision, and he loved these clothes to death.
Jiang Caiping was understood and affirmed, and her heart naturally blossomed.
After some joy, let's get down to business.
Liang Xingfa asked Jiang Caiping if he had helped him inquire about Wanda.
Jiang Caiping was very amazed: "Oops." Patronized the shopping and forgot your commission. ”
"Huh?" Liang Xingfa screamed in disappointment.
"She's teasing you. As soon as she went out, she went straight to the Wanda Inn. She always puts your business first. Jiang Zhongxun said with a smile on the side.
Then Jiang Caiping naughtily laughed and said that Liang Xingfa's fooled appearance was really funny.
It turned out that Wanda was not only not dead, but also very nourishing, counting money on the counter all day long, typical counting money until his hands cramped, and sleeping until he woke up with a smile.
The stick that Liang Xingfa hit him that day was not a fatal blow, and it was fine after it hurt for a while. Wang Lun is still working there. After Liang Xingfa left, he was very angry with Wanda, saying that Wanda abused children, and said that if Liang Xingfa did not come back, he would go on strike. It made Wanda dizzy, and when he was annoyed, he scolded Wang Lun, saying that he was almost broken, and he was even more aggrieved.
Liang Xingfa is disease-free and painless, what is there to worry about.
Liang Xingfa finally put down a big stone hanging in his heart, but he was determined to do one thing, that is, to open an inn, and to open it opposite the Wanda Inn, and compete with him until any one of them could not hold on.
As soon as he told Jiang Zhongxun's father and daughter about this idea, he immediately received their unlimited support and encouragement, and showed unshakable confidence in the challenge of Liang Xingfa and Wanda.
