The last time I eavesdropped on the conversation between Liang and Ni's mother, Bai Zhihan knew that he had misunderstood Zuo Shaoyang, and his indifference to him was like ice and snow under the sun, which quickly melted, and now I heard that he actually risked his life in order to save the surname of a refugee who was not related to him, and he went up the mountain to collect medicine.

Bai Zhihan felt very guilty in his heart, thinking about trying to reconcile the cold and indifferent relationship between the two before, so he smiled, and deliberately smiled in a relaxed and ridiculous tone: "I am your slave young master, and I am naturally waiting for you to come back." Otherwise, who shall I serve? ”。

This is the first time that Zuo Shaoyang really feels a smiling and talking Bai Zhihan, and he only feels that her smile is as warm as a spring breeze, as if the swallows flying over the eaves of the house when the spring flowers are blooming, and like butterflies dancing on the green slopes. It's so tranquil and full of warmth. I was stunned.

At this moment, Master Qiao stepped into the lobby and said with a depressed face: "Shopkeeper Yu is too immoral, he wants a high price, and he refuses to give a penny." ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How much does he ask?" ”

"Four thousand!"

"What?" Zuo Shaoyang was taken aback, "Four thousand runs, it's too much, right?" ”

"But no, I said that you bought this gloomy wood, I heard that it only cost two thousand at that time, why do you have such a high price now? He said that he had already bought this gloomy wood very cheaply at that time, and he had seen it in the furniture store that sold gloomy wood in the capital, and a piece of gloomy wood smaller than this one was sold for 3,000 yuan before the material was processed. He also hired a famous craftsman to carve, so now the value of this gloomy wood tea table has increased greatly, and now when it is taken to the capital, it can be sold for at least 5,000 yuan. He only needs 4,000 guan for the sake of his old friends. ”

"Didn't you say that as long as three pairs of chopsticks are so long?"

"Anyway, this tea table has several legs, and it is enough to cut a straight leg. He still didn't do it, saying that this tea table was invited by a famous craftsman from the capital It took more than half a year to carve it, and it was like this, if a leg was sawed off, it would be ugly, and the price would be greatly reduced. So either sell it whole, or don't sell it, never saw a leg to sell. ”

Mrs. Qiao hurriedly said, "Didn't you tell him that I bought it for my daughter's bones?" ”

"I said it too! Shopkeeper Yu said that he heard that I bought it back for life-saving use, so he loosened his mouth and sold it to me, otherwise, he would never sell it, and he would not lack the money to use urgently. He also said ......, and said not to believe the coaxing of others, saying that he had never heard of the use of wood to graft bones. ”

Four thousand guan is not a small number, and the money saved now is very small, far from enough. Mrs. Qiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I owe him a debt first, and when the rebellion is quelled, after contacting the two children, let them pay to help." ”

Master Qiao said with a bitter face: "If it is forty or even four hundred, the two of them can still take it, four thousand, let the two of them sell all their belongings, plus we sell all the remaining land, I'm afraid it is only barely enough, we can't let the two children go bankrupt because of Qiao'er's legs, right?" ”

Mrs. Qiao was also dumbfounded, and wept: "What should I do about this?" He turned his head and asked Zuo Shaoyang: "Zuo Gongzi, is there any other way?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly: "This is the best way, among the woods that Brother Li can think of, we don't have iron birch and iron sandalwood here, although other woods are moisture-resistant, but the hardness can't reach it, only gloomy wood." ”

Mrs. Jo cried, "I'll beg him to ......"

Master Qiao stomped his feet and said, "Okay, don't go, it's useless for me to say, what's the use of you going!" People said that he had broken his legs, and he had no hope for the rest of his life, so he counted on this gloomy wooden tea table as a family heirloom, not for us to save people, and people absolutely refused to let it, let alone destroy it. ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "I heard that the shopkeeper's legs were broken, how is the situation?" ”

"It's miserable! He was lying on the soft couch and talking to me, his back and thighs were full of cane wounds, and he had already asked Huimintang Dr. Ni to deal with it, but a pair of knees were broken, and Dr. Ni said that his two legs, even if they were immortals, could not be cured. I was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of my life. ”

Zuo Shaoyang's heart moved: "You take me to him, I'll see if his leg injury is still saved, maybe he can use this bone-grafting equipment made of gloomy wood!" ”

When Master Qiao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and said yes in a loud voice.

At the moment, supported by Miao Peilan, followed by Master Qiao, and the three of them came to the shopkeeper Yu's house next to the yamen.

Yu's shopkeeper's house is behind the jade shop, a big mansion is the largest Zuo Shaoyang has ever seen, the last time the enemy sneaked into the mansion to burn down, and also burned to their house, but because it was next to the yamen, and the people of the yamen were very familiar with it, they all came to help fight the fire, so it didn't burn up, and there was no damage to the granary. Also broke both legs. Except for the rations of one bucket per person, the rest of the grain was requisitioned at a low price, which was considered that the general gave him face and did not kill his head.

Because of the scarcity of rations, most of the servants in the house were disbanded, and only a few personal maids remained. The courtyard of the mansion was deserted.

Shopkeeper Yu lives in the backyard, his wife and children are there, he is crying sadly, seeing that Master Qiao went and returned, and brought two people here, some surprises, Shopkeeper Yu recognized Zuo Shaoyang, knowing that he was the little Langzhong of Guizhitang, but he didn't know Miao Peilan.

Shopkeeper Yu said to Master Qiao: "Qiao Weng, what are you still doing?" Don't expect me to be relieved if you plead hard. ”

Master Qiao said: "I didn't expect you to let go, I am introducing you to a famous doctor, a famous doctor who is likely to make you stand up again!" ”

The shopkeeper Yu's family was surprised and delighted: "Who? ”

Master Qiao pointed at Zuo Shaoyang: "This must be Yu Weng knows ......"

"Know, isn't he the son of Guizhitang Guizhilang? What kind of 'model of supporting the army' canonized by the general a few days ago, why did you come to my house? ”

Listening to this tone, it was a little sour, obviously the shopkeeper Yu's dissatisfaction with the different circumstances of the two families.

Zuo Shaoyang bowed down and handed over his hand: "I admire Uncle Yu's kindness in opening a porridge factory to help the people." I also deeply sympathize with you, uncle. I came with Master Qiao, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to visit the old man's injury and express some condolences. ”

Shopkeeper Yu listened to him speak humbly and respectfully, but he was a little surprised, and his tone was slightly softened: "Thank you, please sit down!" ”

The son of the shopkeeper Yu hurriedly brought a round stool and asked the three of them to sit down.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Can I check the leg injury for Shopkeeper Yu?" ”

"I heard that you don't hurt at all when you give people bones, don't you?" Shopkeeper Yu still knows a little about what happened in Guizhitang recently.

"It's just a small skill of carving insects, if Uncle Yu is willing to let me see the leg injury, I may be able to come up with a way to treat it."

Shopkeeper Yu sighed: "Alas, no, even Dr. Ni of Huimin Hall said that he was not saved, what can you do in a little Langzhong?" ”

Master Qiao said on the side: "Yu Weng, my Qiao'er's leg was also broken, and I have seen it in Huimin Hall, and Dr. Ni also said that it is not cured, and the fracture cannot be cured, and it must be disabled." Sent to Guizhi Hall, Xiao Langzhong said that as long as there is gloomy wood, you can connect the bones to the ......"

"Oh?" Shopkeeper Yu sneered, "I understand, in the end, you are still here for my gloomy wooden tea table." If that's the case, please go back. ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Uncle Yu, Miss Qiao'er's fracture is a thigh bone, and there is a traumatic injury, there is no way to fix it with a splint, if it is not fixed in time, I am afraid that I can really only be disabled for a lifetime." But if you can fix it in time now, there is still a good hope that you will recover completely and walk normally as usual. ”

Shopkeeper Yu said coldly: "His daughter's fracture, what does it matter to me?" Why should I use my family heirloom to help him? ”

Zuo Shaoyang and Master Qiao both knew that Shopkeeper Yu was originally a warm-hearted person and was kind and charitable, but they didn't expect to be unlucky because of this, and they couldn't help but have all the food taken away, and their legs were also discounted, so that their surnames changed greatly, so they said such indifferent words. So don't get angry either. Said: "This gloomy wood is worth a thousand gold, the old man is unwilling to take it out, we fully understand, naturally dare not force it." However, not all fractures need to be gloomy wood, I don't know how the old man's leg injury is, can you let me see, maybe you can think of something for the old man. - Anyway, if you go on like this, your legs are disabled, why don't you let me see, wouldn't it be a good thing if you could think of a way to get the old man back on his feet? ”

These words made the shopkeeper Yu's heart move, he was naturally very unwilling to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, but if he had a little hope, he was still unwilling to give up, not to mention that he heard that this little man had recently treated many people for fractures, and the effect was very good, so he had the heart to let him see. He looked back at Madame.

Mrs. Yu naturally hoped for this, and wiped her tears and said, "Yes, master, let Zuo Gongzi take a look." People take the initiative to send doctors to their homes, and they won't come without this ability. ”

Shopkeeper Yu's son also echoed and persuaded Shopkeeper Yu to let Zuo Shaoyang take a look.

Shopkeeper Yu nodded: "Okay, let's trouble Xiao Langzhong to take a look." ”

"Okay, is the part of the old man who was discounted his knees?"

"Yes, the knees of both legs are broken."

Zuo Shaoyang slowly rolled up the shopkeeper Yu's wide-legged pants, exposing his two knees. It was already red, swollen and deformed, and his thighs were covered with cane wounds.

Zuo Shaoyang carefully touched the injury with his hand to check, for a long time, and said slowly: "Uncle Yu's injury is really very serious, the lower end of the knee and femur of the left leg, the inner and outer condyles, the tibial condyle and the patella are all broken, this fracture is difficult to repair, and it is difficult to fix, with my current ability, there is no way to repair it......"

Shopkeeper Yu was disappointed and looked at him with a wry smile.

Zuo Shaoyang said again: "However, the fracture of the old man's right leg is relatively light, I can cure it!" ”
