4-3 Jack. Jones
4-3 Jack. Jones
As soon as Liu Ziguang heard that there was an English surgeon in the capital, Jack, he immediately thought of an English gentleman wearing a black trench coat and a top hat in the vast fog of London, and his handbag was full of sharp surgical instruments.
"Haven't there been any serial murders in the capital recently?" Liu Ziguang asked slowly.
"Why did the chairman say this? The capital has been very quiet recently. Sun Gang stared at him with a puzzled expression. He no longer calls Liu Ziguang "Engong", but also the chairman.
"That's good." It seems that this Jack is not Jack, Liu Ziguang smiled self-deprecatingly, and said to Sun Gang: "Then you can make an appointment." β
"Mr. Jack does not accept appointments, and generally patients come to the door directly, and Mr. feels that he can treat them, and those who can't be treated are directly turned away."
"He's a doctor with a lot of personality. Then we'll meet him now. Liu Ziguang stood up and walked out, Sun Gang hurriedly said: "Chairman Shao'an, don't be impatient, wait for me to arrange the carriage and horses." "The luxury carriage was used by Peng Jingrong, and now if you want to go out, you have to send someone to the car dealership to transfer another car over.
"Don't be so troublesome, rickshaws are running everywhere on the street, just hire two." Nanjing's summer climate is hot, the luxury carriage is tightly covered and not cool at all, Liu Ziguang is not a female dependent, can not show up in front of everyone, there is nothing wrong with sitting in the rickshaw of his own car dealership, it is very ventilated and open.
"Okay, I'll let people go out and stop the car." Sun Gang promised to come over to help, but he gently pushed him away, Liu Ziguang has been a blind person for so many days has found the feeling, with hearing and memory to walk like ordinary people, and then put on dark glasses, others can't see that this is a blind man at all.
There are a lot of manpower taxis by the Qinhuai River, the young men are wearing white coarse cloth cardigan gowns, the trousers of black crotch pants are stuffed in white cloth socks, and the feet are shallow cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, which are very clean and neat, the tricycle is also wiped clean, the seats are covered with bamboo cushions, the awnings are stretched above, and the handrails are tied with silk threads to the fans, in addition to these humanized small designs, the wheels of the tricycle are also rubber, and walking on the stone road of the capital is much less bumpy than the wooden wheels of the mule carriage. It is precisely because of these advantages that Unisplendour has an advantage in the competition with other car and horse dealers.
Now this time period is the sun in the sky, the dignitaries in the river house are taking a nap, so the coachmen waiting outside also have a period of free time, at this moment they are squatting in groups under the plane tree on the side of the road to enjoy the shade, the tree knows the non-stop chirping, there is no trace of cool breeze, the summer in the capital is hot.
Liu Ziguang and Sun Gang walked out of the gate, and the guards waved at the drivers on the side of the road, and suddenly several tricycles came, and the drivers saw that it was the boss of their own car dealership who called a car, and there was a guest next to him who looked higher, and immediately respectfully said: "Old man, please get in the car, the sun is poisonous outside." β
Liu Ziguang and Sun Gang each walked in front in a car, and the rest of the guards followed in a car in pairs, and the driver who pulled the car for Sun Gang asked, "Boss Sun, where are you going?" β
"Go to the Western Langzhong outside the south gate." Sun Gang said.
"I'm going to find Mr. Jack. I've heard that there are a lot fewer people going there to seek medical treatment lately than in the past. The driver gossiped while pedaling, which was a bit of the charm of a big city taxi driver in later generations.
"Oh, why less? Didn't you queue up to get a doctor before? Liu Ziguang asked.
The one who pedaled for Liu Ziguang was also a talkative character, and took over the conversation: "Listen to the accent, this master is from out of town, Mr. Jack did cure a lot of people before, the first was Yang Sanye of the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall in the north of the city, and he was picked by the enemy with hamstrings, do you think Yang Sanye is the master who specializes in mandarin duck legs, and if the tendons are broken, it is not only a crippled thing, but the whole professional life is over, how many surgeons have been found, and Langzhong said that he can't be cured, and finally the apprentices pulled him to Mr. Jack outside the south gate, guess what?" It took two hours to connect the big tendons! Jumping and jumping as usual, since then in the capital with broken legs and broken hands have lined up to seek medical treatment, Mr. Jack is not refused, although the consultation fee is high, but people can indeed rejuvenate their hands. β
"And then? What's wrong? Liu Ziguang interrupted the gushing coachman and asked.
"Later, then those Lang Zhong in the capital couldn't sit still, and went to the door to learn the arts, but Mr. Jack did not accept apprentices, these people secretly lay outside Mr. Jack's house in the middle of the night to steal the master to learn the arts, the result is now shocking, it turns out that this Westerner often gets some corpses in the middle of the night to disembowel, not only human corpses, but also monkeys, dogs or other animals, you say scary people are not scary, and few people go to seek medical treatment when the matter comes out, they all say that Mr. Jack makes a demon law, although it can be connected with a broken leg but will be infected with demon energy, Yang Shou who lived less than ten years. The coachman was spitting and relishing.
"Hey, you bunnies, you know more than I do." Sun Gang was a little embarrassed, and actually introduced a Western demon to Liu Ziguang, which was a serious dereliction of duty.
"That is, the little ones go out all day long, and they pull all kinds of people in the capital to run around, which is more than the old men know." The coachman was a little proud, kicked a few times, and slid all the way to the treasure gate.
"Chairman, or let's go back." Sun Gang was a little creepy when he heard it.
"No, just go to Mr. Jack." Liu Ziguang became more and more interested in this magical Western Langzhong.
Outside the treasure gate is a plateau, known as Yuhuatai, here is the famous mass grave in Nanjing, the prisoners who were killed, the death row prisoners, and the homeless people who died outside are buried here, there are groups of wild dogs nearby, the ghost fire is lit at night, the wind is gusting, it is really a place where ordinary people dare not come, and Mr. Jack lives near here.
Jack's apartment and clinic is a small courtyard with two entrances, it is said that this was rebuilt after he got the medical fee, it was just a thatched house surrounded by a bamboo fence, the new brick and stone courtyard wall is planted with many old locust trees, and a carriage is parked by the gate, it seems that someone has arrived before them, and there are still many people in this world who do not believe in evil.
The tricycle stopped in the shade of the tree, Liu Ziguang and Sun Gang got off the car and walked to the gate, and suddenly a person rushed out of the house, almost bumping into Sun Gang who was walking in front, fortunately Sun Gang jumped to the side quickly and pulled Liu Ziguang to stop, so he didn't hit it, the man was also startled, hugged the glass bottle in his arms tightly, turned around and said to the yard in a scream: "What a bullshit miracle doctor, it's just a waste of fame, go back to our house and get a fresh whip, if you dare to shirk again, pull you demon to see the official!" After saying that, he got into the carriage and walked away.
The two continued to walk inside, the more they walked inside, the more bloody they felt, the guards behind couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife, the courtyard was empty, and no one came out to greet him, Sun Gang stopped and shouted: "Mr. Jack, we are here to seek medical treatment." β
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin young man with golden eyes came out of the house, his leather apron was stained with blood, his hands were wearing rubber gloves that reached to his elbows, and he was holding a hacksaw in his right hand.
"Welcome, my friend, if there's anything I need to do." The young man speaks Chinese quite fluently, but with a smell of not knowing the local dialect.
βjanetbsp; Lure Mr Jack?" Liu Ziguang asked in English that he had not used for many years.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and corrected Liu Ziguang with a standard London East End accent: "I am janetbsp; jonesγ β
"Oh, it turned out to be Dr. Jones, ho do lure do
Is the weather in the capital still adaptable? Liu Ziguang couldn't speak more English, so he had to make up half-Chinese and half-English, but this was enough to shock Sun Gang and the guards behind him.
"The ghost weather in the capital is really hot. Your Excellency speaks English so well, and it is a pleasure to hear your native dialect in the territory of the Ming Empire outside of Shanghai, and if you will allow you, I would like to invite you to have an afternoon tea and talk about what I can do for you. β
βhy not?β Liu Ziguang shrugged and accepted Dr. Jones's invitation.
Because of Liu Ziguang's half-hung English, the conversation between the guest and the host became more friendly and cordial, Dr. Jones let them into the room, took off his apron and gloves, made a tea of green tea, and took out some mung bean cake and osmanthus cake as refreshments, took away a bloody human arm on the table of the Eight Immortals and put it up, inviting the two guests to enjoy, Sun Gang couldn't eat it in disgust, just picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea, and listened to Liu Ziguang and Jones talk.
Liu Ziguang and Sun Gang reported their names, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while before getting to the point. "If I'm not mistaken, your eye may be injured, I don't know what kind of damage?" Dr. Jones picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it very gently.
"There was lime in the eye, and it was said that the lime also contained some kind of poison." Liu Ziguang replied.
"That's a burn, if it's just a corneal burn and not a severe physical injury to the vitreous, I think there is still a save, can I look at your eyes?" Dr. Jones put down the osmanthus cake, patted the crumbs on his hands, picked up a lamp next to him, and said.
"Absolutely." Liu Ziguang took off his sunglasses and opened his eyes wide at Dr. Jones.
Dr. Jones brought the light close to Liu Ziguang's face, carefully observed his eyes, and exclaimed as he looked: "Oh God, I have never seen such a strange injury, your eyes seem to be covered with a strange film, this film must have the effect of protecting the eyeballs." As he spoke, he picked up the magnifying glass and looked more closely, "It stands to reason that there should not be such a thing as a growth on the eyeball, and if you agree, I would like to remove this layer of membrane to take a look." β
Saying this, Dr. Jones is not sure, Liu Ziguang is a little worried, but after thinking about it, anyway, his eyes can no longer see things, and it is estimated that it is difficult to find a better doctor in this world, so it is better to treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and let this Westerner Langzhong diagnose and treat it.
"Okay, let's try one eye first." Liu Ziguang agreed in a deep voice.
"Chairman...."Sun Gang shouted worriedly on the side.
"It's okay." Liu Ziguang smiled and comforted Sun Gang.
"Mr. Liu, I admire your courage, I will definitely help you treat it with my heart, please lie flat on the chair, don't move, when I use the blade to pick up the membrane, if you feel pain, you must say it." As he spoke, Dr. Jones had already taken out a new pair of rubber gloves and put them on, and took out a scalpel, tweezers, scissors, and other silver instruments.
Liu Ziguang was lying on the operating chair, his head was just in the pit, one eye was open, and the white space in front of him could be faintly seen, of course he didn't know that it was Dr. Jones's shadowless lamp, Dr. Jones disinfected the surgical instruments again, put on a mask, and came over with a scalpel and tweezers.
Sun Gang and the guards didn't dare to get too close, and they didn't dare to come out one by one, for fear of affecting Lang Zhong.
Liu Ziguang only felt that his open left eye had come into contact with a sharp object, which carefully and very slowly tried to pick up the film that often tickled him, and did not feel any discomfort.
"How do you feel? Mr. Liu. "Dr. Jones has picked up the edges of that membrane.
"No, please continue." Liu Ziguang faintly felt that the hope of regaining his sight was just around the corner.
"Okay." Dr. Jones grabbed the edge of the membrane with tweezers and pulled it up gently.
As the film slowly pulled up, a thin face appeared in front of Liu Ziguang's eyes, his beard was cleanly shaven, and his eyes were as green as the water of the Qinhuai River.
"Can you see it?" Jones stretched out two fingers and dangled them in front of Liu Ziguang's eyes. Sun Gang and the guards also surrounded him with concern.
"Dr. Jones is very handsome." Liu Ziguang said with a smile.
Everyone is overjoyed, Liu Ziguang's restoration of sight is a great joy, and there is no doubt that the guards and coachmen present today have been rewarded. What's more important is that General Liu can see things again, and everyone's future will be more secure in the future.
"Go ahead and be the other eye." Liu Ziguang said that he was still very calm on the surface, but in his heart he was actually in ecstasy, and he originally just came to seek medical treatment with the attitude of trying it out, but he didn't expect to be cured by medical treatment so easily.
The membrane of his right eye was also removed, Liu Ziguang jumped up from the chair, jumped into the courtyard in three steps and two steps, looked up at the sun, looked at the blue sky, looked down at the earth, looked at the flowers and plants, and looked at the people, everything seemed so beautiful and natural. He couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Everyone also followed out of the house, and when they saw Liu Ziguang's happy appearance, everyone was also overjoyed: "Congratulations to the chairman (general) for regaining his sight." β
"Rejoice! Rejoice! Everyone has a big reward, and Dr. Jones, I want to thank you so much, you make a price, don't save me, only a price you can't think of, no silver I can't afford. Liu Ziguang patted Dr. Jones on the shoulder vigorously and said.
"You are truly the God of Wealth sent by God." Jones was also very happy, this was really a windfall from the sky, in fact, he still didn't understand what was going on with that film, anyway, he just healed people, whatever.
Dr. Jones just wanted to quote the price, but the door of the small courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and it turned out that the father-in-law who rushed out before came back, only to see that he was carrying a huge ** that was still dripping blood in his hand.
Screaming at Dr. Jones, "Didn't you say you had to be fresh to transplant?" If you don't put this donkey whip on our family today, don't think about living! β
