4-4 The Doctor's Secret
4-4 The Doctor's Secret
There was a stone table and chair in Dr. Jones's yard, and the eunuch came over with a bloody donkey whip and put it on the table and said, "Yanglangzhong, what excuse do you have now?" ”
Dr. Jones nodded to Liu Ziguang very gentlemanly, saying that he would deal with the matter in front of him first and then discuss the matter of the consultation.
Now in this capital, the eunuchs are people who can't be offended, they are either the spies of the East Factory or the armed eunuchs of the internal exercises, whether it is the people on the side of the Queen Mother or the people on the side of the nine thousand years old, they are much more bullish than the ordinary eunuchs outside, and it is not as simple as pinching an ant to death if you really want to kill a Western Lang who has no backing.
Dr. Jones, apparently unaware of the danger he faced, looked at the donkey whip a few times, and then said to the eunuch in a serious manner: "Father-in-law Bai, personally, I am very willing to help you transplant the genitals of this donkey, but the organs of humans and animals are not interchangeable, just like the proverb of your country, if you take the donkey's head to the horse's mouth, it will not match." ”
"We don't care about that, I also got the fresh goods you wanted, and now they say they can't be exchanged, aren't you playing with us?" The eunuch known as Bai Gonggong slapped the stone table and stood up, and several brocade-clothed eunuchs outside with knives heard the sound and stretched out their heads to take a look, and when they saw that their father-in-law did not call them, they shrank back one after another.
"Dear Father-in-law Bai, you still haven't figured out what I mean, it's not that I don't want to do this operation for you, it's really a lack of suitable raw materials, the organ you kept for many years has been soaked in potion for many years, and it has been completely necrotic, and now this donkey's genitals are fresh, but even if they are installed on your body, they will not survive, it will gradually wither, necrosis, fall off, stench and pus, I think as a palace servant, you must not want such a situation." Dr. Jones is a cultural person in the end, he knows it with reason, and he moves it with emotion, and after some words, Bai Gonggong was silent, looking down and thinking about something.
"Isn't it over if you get a human whip and put it on? It's hard for others to find, father-in-law, aren't you handy? Wouldn't it be beautiful to let the purifier pick a stout one from the newly castrated whip and put it on? Liu Ziguang couldn't help but help them come up with an idea.
"Who are you?" Bai Gonggong patronized his donkey whip, but he didn't notice that there were still several people standing in the courtyard, he looked Liu Ziguang and the rest up and down, and asked vigilantly: "Plainclothes with knives, is it the Yamen of the Criminal Department or the Jinyi Guard?" ”
"We are also here to seek medical treatment, we are also patients, of course, the eye disease under the next is different from my father-in-law's file, hehe, how to say it, it can be regarded as a fateful person, father-in-law, don't worry, we don't know anyone out of this courtyard." Liu Ziguang replied with a smile, moved a stone bench and sat down by himself.
Father-in-law Bai waved his hand: "Our family has nothing to worry about, we don't want anything to do in the palace, just want to have a complete body and enter the ancestral grave decently." This master's idea is very good, it's really a sentence to wake up the dreamer, let's leave it at that, pick the right thing and come over. Everyone, stay on your feet. "Get up and leave.
"Father-in-law Bai, you forgot your genitals." Dr. Jones kindly reminded.
"Leave it to you to stew, we don't want it." The white father-in-law walked away without looking back.
"Mr. Liu, thank you for helping me out. If this man had his entourage threaten me with a knife for this donkey's genital transplantation, it would be a big deal. Dr. Jones pressed his hand to his heart and bowed gracefully to Liu Ziguang.
"Well, let's talk about it, now we can calculate the cost of our surgery." Liu Ziguang stretched out his hand to make a gesture of support, and said politely, in fact, he secretly thought that if the eunuch with a knife outside broke in, he might not be able to bargain, just now I clearly saw Dr. Jones put his hand under the heavy leather apron and felt a sharp scalpel, presumably there must be a mystery underneath, coupled with the sharp eyes of this English man, extremely stable technique, I believe that he is not the kind of weak doctor who is powerless.
The cost of your surgery only needs to pay me a gold coin of the Song Dynasty, of course, the same value of silver is also fine, you must know that this is the minimum standard for my visit, although the operation is very simple but I don't want to break the rules, I hope you can understand. Dr. Jones is his own brother who settles accounts, a gold coin of the Song Dynasty can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver in the market, and he will receive twenty taels of silver if he does it casually, and even Sun Gang, who put the money in print, couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "It's really black." ”
"No problem, this is a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver, you can collect it first, your medical skills are well-known in the capital, can you let me take a tour?" Liu Ziguang doesn't care about a little silver, it's important to be able to get in touch with this mysterious Dr. Jones.
"Of course, if you don't believe the horrible rumors." Dr. Jones walked to the door of the wing and made a gesture of please.
Liu Ziguang followed Dr. Jones into the wing, here is the operating room and specimen showroom, in the middle of the room is a rectangular shallow pool made of bricks, more than half a person high, covered with tiles, a disembowelmented corpse lying in the pool, blood drained down the small hole at the edge of the pool into the underground ditch, the air is filled with a strange smell of potions, there is a row of wide-mouth glass bottles in the cabinet next to the wall, soaked in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys and other internal organs, and a complete skeleton fixed to the chair in the corner of the room, "Oh, It was my friend William, and I always took him with me wherever I went, and this one on the operating table was the one who had been sent to me in the morning, and the jailers had been sending me prisoners to death lately, perhaps the price I offered was too satisfactory to them, and sometimes I even suspected that these money-grubbing fellows deliberately killed people and sent them to me for money. Dr. Jones said casually. Pay attention to Liu Ziguang's expression.
Of course, Liu Ziguang, who came down from the battlefield of flesh and blood, was not intimidated by these, he admired it with interest, and asked casually: "Dr. Jones will not collect these corpses at a high price just for research, it stands to reason that as a medical doctor, you are already familiar with the bone meridians of the human body, so you don't need to do these basic homework anymore." I guess there's some secret in that. ”
"God has given you a brilliant mind, and indeed my medical skills are no longer comparable to those of the interns of the Royal College of Physicians, and the collection of these corpses is a great undertaking, and I beg your forgiveness for not being able to tell you the details now. As compensation, I invite you to visit one more interesting place. "The first time Dr. Jones met a wise man like Liu Ziguang, who was bold and careful and could speak two words in English, he naturally wanted to talk more.
The floor of the wing room is made of green bricks, and after a few bricks are lifted, an eerie cave is revealed, and the cool air gushes out, which makes people shudder.
"This is also one of the reasons why I chose to live here, don't be afraid of Mr. Liu, this is just an ancient tomb, equivalent to a natural cold storage, let's go down and have a look." Dr. Jones said as he picked up an oil lamp and followed the wooden ladder into the cave.
Liu Ziguang also followed, and after a distance of a foot deep, he entered an ancient tomb made of stone, and he didn't know what age it was, the tomb was not very large, and the original objects in the tomb were gone, replaced by more human organs sealed with ice, bottles containing blood, and a few corpses with vivid faces. Rao is a bold man like Liu Ziguang can't help but be a little creepy, Dr. Jones's face looks particularly hideous in the shadow of the oil lamp, "Welcome to my pantry, Mr. Liu, I hope you are not frightened." ”
"Nice, powerful pantry. These organs are the raw materials for your surgery. Liu Ziguang asked.
"It's my collection, but it's not a raw material for surgery, at the moment I can only do ** transplants, these are organs whose tissues have been necrotic, and I keep them for another purpose." Dr. Jones, who was obviously excited to be with his baby, took out a glass bottle of light-colored liquid from a wooden barrel with ice cubes, took out two more goblets, and motioned to Liu Ziguang: "Some champagne?" ”
"Thanks, no need, the air is not very good, I think it's better to go out and bask in the sun." Liu Ziguang didn't dare to drink the champagne of unknown origin, and there seemed to be two pale palms in the barrel in addition to the ice.
"This is Bordeaux champagne, and it sells for hundreds of taels of silver a bottle on the black market in Shanghai." Dr. Jones put down the bottle and glass and shook his head regretfully.
"It seems that the world full of sunshine is still for you, oh, please first." Dr. Jones followed Liu Ziguang to the ladder and gentlemanly invited the guest to go up first.
Liu Ziguang, who returned to the courtyard, felt for the first time that the summer sun in Nanjing was so kind, he wiped the cold sweat on his head and said to Dr. Jones: "I don't know if you need assistants, I can recommend a few good young men, and they can also act as your bodyguards by the way." ”
Jones smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, you are a general who leads troops, and as for the assistant you are talking about, you want to serve as a battlefield doctor after studying surgery with me, I can't figure out what you should pay for these apprentices?" Or should I pay these assistants-bodyguards? ”
"It's a pleasure to talk to a smart guy like Dr. Jones, so let's cancel each other out, it's called win-win, to in
Do you understand? In addition, I will help you to provide more customers and security guarantees, such as the eunuch who came today, if he dares to threaten you again, I can make him disappear forever. ”
"In this way, I am really a little tempted, so let's go, dear Liu, please give me some time to think about it, okay?"
Dr. Jones was obviously impressed by Liu Ziguang, and the fact that he had a few military assistants meant that he could leave such trivial tasks as buying groceries, cooking, stealing, and buying corpses to others in the future, and these assistants might as well go around preaching something, a proposal that he couldn't refuse.
Liu Ziguang rushed back to the residence in a hurry, his eyes regained his vision, and he got acquainted with Dr. Jones again, but it was really a good thing, when he walked to the door, he saw Peng Jingrong waiting for him anxiously, and when he saw him coming, he stood up and greeted him: "Go, your face is saved, Miss Hu introduced a plastic surgeon from North Korea, come with me to have a look." ”
Liu Ziguang suddenly took off his glasses, looked at Peng Jingrong with two shining eyes, and smiled: "You look so good today." ”
Peng Jingrong was stunned for a moment, and she didn't notice that the small flower fan fell to the ground, "You.... Are your eyes better? ”
