Zuo Shaoyang said coldly: "I don't have any money." ”

"If you don't have any money, rice and noodles are fine, I'll convert it according to your six hundred wen a bucket!" Sang Mu wrenched her fingers and began to calculate how many buckets of grain should be converted into seventy taels.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't bother to pay attention to her, held the umbrella and continued to walk forward, took two steps, couldn't help it, turned around and ridiculed: "Now the price of rice is two thousand Wen per bucket!" What can you buy for 600 wen? ”

"Two thousand wen? Don't be kidding, I'll add you to 800 Wen, how about it? A thousand wen is fine, do you have rice? ”

"No,—— even if there is, I won't exchange it for my daughter-in-law!" Zuo Shaoyang finally couldn't help it and said coldly. Turn around and walk forward.

Sang Mu didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his words, and twisted her fat buttocks and shouted, "How many meters is there in your house now?" Give it to me first, marry my little sister, and paste it again when I have it! But you'll have to pay at least half of it upfront! One bucket is 1,000 Wen, 10 buckets is 10,000 Wen, 70,000 Wen can buy 70 buckets, and half is 35 buckets, hey! Is there thirty-five buckets? Thirty-three buckets are fine, hey, don't go......! ”

Zuo Shaoyang ignored it, walked quickly across the street with an umbrella, and returned to Guizhi Hall.

When he walked to the door, he found that only one of the three doors of the pharmacy was open, and there were two patients sitting on the bench where he usually treated.

Zuo Shaoyang was very surprised, the whole city was in a hurry, there were still people who came to the pharmacy to see a doctor, Zuo Shaoyang was surprised that there were still people to see a doctor at this time, because getting sick no matter when you are sick, no matter when you are going to get sick, no matter how critical the moment is, he was surprised that at this time, there were still people who came to his pharmacy to see a doctor, which showed that his pharmacy was already somewhat famous.

Zuo Shaoyang stood on the stone steps in front of the door, took the red lacquered oil-paper umbrella in his hand, turned around and stepped into the lobby. Behind the long case, there was no figure of Daddy Zuogui, and there was a circle of people around the small bed on the other side of the dim lobby, and there was a low cry.

Mother Liang stood at the door of the concoction room with a nervous expression, the door of the concoction room was closed, and the lock was hung, seeing Zuo Shaoyang coming in, he hurriedly took the red lacquer oil paper umbrella from his hand, shook off the rain on the umbrella, and said in a low voice: "Your father is treating patients, and several patients have come in the morning, and your father is in a hurry, saying why haven't you come back yet." Let's go over and take a look. ”

The voices of the two of them had already been heard by Zuo Gui's father in the crowd, who was sitting on the round stool next to the small bed at the moment, so he stood up and shouted, "Zhong'er, come and take a look." ”

"Yes!" Zuo Shaoyang walked over, and the crowd hurriedly divided a way for him.

Walking closer, Zuo Shaoyang suddenly felt two fierce eyes in the crowd, looked up, not only smiled, but it was Bai Zhihan, the granddaughter of the poor Beijing official surnamed Qu, who had returned to his hometown from the high-walled old mansion next door! This super beauty was so angry that she was called "Big Plate" last time, no wonder she stared at herself with such hateful eyes. I didn't bother to pay attention to her, pretending not to see it.

He looked down and saw an old man lying on the small bed, with gray hair, it was the old lady Qu, who was now turning his mouth and eyes to the right, his teeth were clenched, and the two spans of his robe were wet and wet, obviously having urinary incontinence.

On the edge of the small bed, sat Mrs. Qu, and behind her stood Mrs. Qu and Aunt Long, the nurse.

Looking sideways, at the head of the small bed, there was also a door panel, on which lay a middle-aged woman, salivating at the corners of her mouth, and kept twitching. On the creaking chair at the foot of the bed was an old woman, also drooling, humming in a low voice.

There are three patients at the same time, naturally it is important to prioritize, the old woman can still sit crookedly by herself, the woman on the door panel is more seriously ill, there is a smell of feces and urine, indicating that there is incontinence, fortunately, the age is relatively young, but the old lady Qu on the bed, there is no moaning, breathing is also very weak, and he has urinary incontinence, which is a characteristic of the critical condition, especially he is old and more dangerous, so he should be treated first.

However, with the experience of the past, coupled with the fact that the white girl's surname is withdrawn and arrogant, Zuo Shaoyang didn't want to provoke him, so he arched his hand and said: "My father asked me to see the disease, if the white girl is unwilling, I won't look at it." ”

Bai Zhihan turned his head and asked Zuo Guidao: "Zuo Langzhong, can't you treat my grandfather yourself?" ”

Zuo Gui frowned slightly: "White girl, I have already said that children are better at stroke than old people." The last time the old woman's stroke was cured by a prescription for children, but you didn't listen, and after a day of delay, the old lady Qu's condition further worsened, so it was sent. I haven't been down for a long time just now, and the purpose is to wait for the child to come back. - If you don't trust children's medical skills, please ask for another master. ”

Zuo Gui's face was even colder when he said this, he glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, and said: "Zuo Langzhong, if it's because of the consultation fee, don't worry, I heard that you treat stroke, the medicine is very cheap, and I still have some furniture and clothes at home that can be pawned, so the cost of diagnosis and medicine should not be a problem, and it will not be less than a penny." ”

"Girl, you misunderstood." Zuo Gui said, "What Lao Yu said just now is the truth, not only your grandfather's illness, but also these two strokes, Lao Yu will be handed over to children for treatment. Again, if you believe in children's medical skills, you will stay for healing, and if you don't believe it, you will ask for another master. ”

The other two patients' family members were anxious and discussed in a low voice, and a middle-aged man arched his hand and said: "Lao Langzhong, we also read the notice posted by Aunt Li on the street, saying that you can treat stroke, and the cost of diagnosis and medicine is also very cheap, so we came to you for treatment." Please heal my wife, although Ling Lang is a skilled doctor, but in the end, he is your apprentice, and you have to heal him. ”

Another man also said: "Yes, we also came here, we went to Huimin Hall before, and asked for a price of 4,000 yuan for medicine, we couldn't afford it, knowing that you are good at treating stroke, and the price is cheap, so we came, by the way, we also went to ask Aunt Li, he said that Zuo Langzhong has a good heart and eyes, and his medical skills are very clever, so it is better to trouble you to treat my mother." ”

Mrs. Qu also laughed and said: "Yes, Zuo Langzhong, only famous teachers can produce high apprentices, even if Xiao Langzhong has excellent medical skills in treating strokes, he can't cover your master, my old lady is very critically ill, or you should take action properly." ”

Zuo Gui shook his head and said: "It's not a secret, I didn't learn this ability to treat stroke from me, but another famous teacher." Therefore, the medical skills for the treatment of stroke are not as good as him. ”

Upon hearing this, the families of the three patients were all stunned.

The family members of the two women began to talk in a low voice, and finally, the young man next to the old woman sitting crookedly in the chair arched his hand and said, "In that case, please ask Xiao Langzhong to heal the mother!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang didn't look at Bai Zhihan, and asked Old Lady Qu: "Old Lady Qu's condition is the most critical of the three, and it stands to reason that he should be treated first,—— do you really want me to be treated?" ”

Old Lady Qu had already burst into tears, her face was desperate, her lips trembled, and she turned her head to look at Bai Zhihan: "Zhi'er ......?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said coldly: "Old lady Qu is your husband, so you have the right to decide!" ”

Old Mrs. Qu was the most thoughtless, and when she encountered such a major emergency, she had already panicked and became more and more out of ideas. Still looking at Bai Zhihan with tears in his eyes. But Bai Zhihan just bit his silver teeth lightly, and looked at Zuo Shaoyang without saying a word.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Stroke must be treated as soon as possible, the sooner the medication, the greater the chance of cure." I can't delay, since you don't trust my medical skills, I can't do anything, I can only treat this aunt first, and wait until you think about it. ”

After that, Zuo Shaoyang came to the old woman sitting on the chair with a round stool and asked, "How did the old man get sick?" ”

The man said with a crying voice: "My mother was fine yesterday, but early this morning, I heard that all the rice and noodles in the rice shops in the city were sold out, and there was not a grain of rice to sell. ”

The middle-aged man next to the woman lying on the bedside door panel also said with a sad face: "My wife is the same, I heard that there is no rice in the morning, so I ran away with a rice bag, and the whole city ran out, and I couldn't buy a grain of rice." When he returned home with a pale face, he fell at the door, his eyes rolled white, his mouth crooked, and he couldn't scream. Alas! There's no food, how can you live here......"

The young man next to the chair said: "My family is a little better, anyway, my uncle's family still has some food in stock, and I can barely get by for a while." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he trembled, "Can you sell me a little?" My family will have enough food for two or three days at most. I'll give you four fights! Okay? ”

The man shook his head and said, "Don't talk about four times, now there are people who come out to six or seven times, and no one sells grain." I know that this is life-saving food, and besides, my uncle only has food, and my family is similar to yours, and I only have a few days of rice, alas......"

Liang was sad to hear this, and stood behind Zuo Gui and shed tears. Zuo Gui stroked his beard, glanced at Zuo Shaoyang, and secretly congratulated his son's foresight, otherwise, I am afraid that my family will be in the same hurry now.

Zuo Shaoyang was concentrating on observing the condition, and saw that the old woman's face was slightly red, the corners of her mouth were salivating, and her trembling lips were slightly open in a strange way, Zuo Shaoyang said: "Old man, can you hear me?" ”

After a long time, the old woman nodded slightly, muttering inaudible words in her mouth. Zuo Shaoyang leaned his head over and listened carefully, only to hear what he said: "Rice ......, buy rice ......!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang picked up the old woman's hand to check the pulse, and after a moment, he said, "Old man, can you stick your tongue out and let me see it?" ”

The old woman slowly stretched out her tongue, but only the tip of her tongue poked out of her mouth, so she stopped moving, Zuo Shaoyang asked her to stick her tongue out loudly, and the old woman seemed to be trying, but only the tip of her tongue was exposed, and she kept trembling. I only saw that the tongue was ruddy and slippery. Zuo Shaoyang said again: "You stretch out your two hands and two feet to see,—— stretch out your hand!" Yes, and feet! - Two hands! Two feet! All stretched out. Two of them. ”

The old woman's right hand and right foot could still stretch out and retract, but her left hand and left foot were unable to move.

Zuo Shaoyang said to his father Zuo Guidao; "This old man is a person with a yin deficiency in the heart and liver, an excessive liver, and phlegm obstruction."

"Oh?" Zuo Gui stroked his beard and said, "How can you see it?" ”
