Article 27
Tang Xiaoqing walked out of the pharmacy with the silver, feeling happy in her heart, this time she sold a total of five taels of silver, the same price as the wild boar, she only took a small part of the medicinal materials this time.
"Five taels of silver will make you happy to be like this, I have never seen the world." Duanmu Qi sneered on the side.
"Thou hast seen the world, and wilt thou take out the money now? Don't talk about five taels of silver, even you don't have five copper plates. Tang Xiaoqing snorted coldly and walked forward.
She suddenly felt that this person was not worth saving, not only did she not catch the money, but she also fought against her everywhere.
Duanmu Qi touched his nose and chased after him, and on the way back, the two happened to encounter a robbery.
"Hand over the money, and I can spare your life, or you will die." Two strong, masked men stood in the way, holding machetes in their hands, pointing at them and saying fiercely.
Tang Xiaoqing stepped back in fear, without a look of fear in his eyes.
"Two big brothers, I don't have much silver on me." Tang Xiaoqing pretended to be aggrieved, revealing a pitiful look.
"How come there is no silver, you just didn't sell the medicinal herbs and got five taels of silver?" One of the big Chinese said angrily.
"It's just, don't try to fool us here." The other big man snorted coldly.
Tang Xiaoqing raised his eyebrows, looked at the two people in front of him and recalled that when he was in the pharmacy, there were many people gathered outside to watch the excitement.
She searched in her memory, and finally fixed on the two of them, then looked up at the two of them and said, "I already know who you are, if you don't want to be arrested by the government, leave quickly." ”
"Don't fool us here, hurry up and hand over the silver." Although Dahan's tone was a little weak, he still didn't believe that this little girl would recognize who they were.
The corners of Tang Xiaoqing's mouth were slightly hooked, and his tone was chiseled: "You have a mole on your lips." ”
She pointed at another big man, "There is a scar on the face." ”
The two big men glanced at each other, and immediately threw away the machete in their hands in fright, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please spare us once, we are forced to do such a thing." ”
If you can, who wants to block the road and rob as a robber, not only will you be wanted by the government, but you will also have to hide everywhere, if it is not for the fact that there is an old mother in the family who is seriously ill and needs to be arrested, how can you make such a decision?
Tang Xiaoqing wanted to go over and help the person up, but Duanmu Qi grabbed her wrist.
"It's not clear what is going on, so don't go alone." Duanmu Qi said cautiously, who knows if this will be a bitter ploy of the two, the purpose is to let them go over and win it in one fell swoop.
"We really didn't lie, if it weren't for the fact that the old mother in the family was seriously ill and needed to buy medicine, we would never have taken this road."
The two big men took off the black cloth, and sure enough, everything was exactly the same as Tang Xiaoqing said, one of them had a mole on his lips, and the other had a scar on his face.
Tang Xiaoqing pushed Qi Mu's hand away, walked over and helped the two up, "Take me to see your mother." ”
She is now half a doctor, and they all say that the heart of the doctor's parents, since she can't sit idly by when she encounters such a thing, she can only do her best to do her best.
The two big men glanced at each other, and immediately kowtowed to her with both hands, "Thank you, girl." ”
Duanmu Qi didn't want her to be nosy, but when he saw someone who insisted on doing so, he could only follow her.
The two followed to the dilapidated courtyard, looking at the rickety wooden door in front of them, as if it would fall down at any moment.
Walking into the room, it was pitch black, there was not even a window here, Tang Xiaoqing's brows were furrowed, it is strange that people in such a place do not get sick after living for a long time, there is no ventilation at all and there is a musty smell.
"Why don't there be windows here?"
"It's already nice to have a place to live, where to be picky." One of the big men stood by with his head down.
Another big man took out a flint and steel and lit the only candle in the room.
The room was lit up by the firelight, and the old woman on the bed finally woke up, and her voice was extremely weak, and she said, "Son, is that you?" ”
"Mother, it's us." The big man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the old woman's hand.
Tang Xiaoqing noticed that the old woman was blind, she couldn't see at all, and her ears were not very good.
"Why did you come back so early today, did you eat?" As she spoke, the old woman went down to the ground to cook for them.
Dahan hurriedly stopped her and pulled her back to the bed, "Mother, my eldest brother and I are not hungry after eating." ”
"Yes, mother, we specially invited a doctor to come and treat you this time." Another big man also came over and said.
As soon as his words fell, the old woman immediately became anxious, "No, I am a dying person, there is no difference between seeing and not seeing, you don't spend any more money, don't buy medicine, you keep it and marry a daughter-in-law later." ”
"Mother knows nonsense, your illness will definitely be cured."
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place, Tang Xiaoqing watched the two big men cry in front of her, and there was really something bad in her heart.
"Mother-in-law, I don't need money for medical treatment." Tang Xiaoqing was still kind-hearted in the end, and walked over to catch the pulse of the old woman.
After the diagnosis, Tang Xiaoqing's face was extremely ugly, and the two big men immediately looked at her with expectant eyes.
"What the hell is going on with my mother, is there any way to treat it?"
Tang Xiaoqing didn't know what to say, and wanted to get up and walk out for a long time, one of the big men comforted his mother, and the other went out.
"What the hell is going on with my mother, you should give me an accurate word." When Dahan saw her like this, he knew that there must be something wrong with his mother's health.
Tang Xiaoqing still decided to answer truthfully, and then said: "Your mother's illness is very serious, and she has no power to return to heaven at all. ”
This old woman has been bedridden for many years, and with the recent lack of qi and blood, even if she is treated, it will be delayed.
When Dahan heard this, he regressed again and again, he knew that his mother's condition was very serious, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
After the blow, Dahan sorted out his mood and arched his hand: "Thank you, girl." ”
After thanking him, the big man turned around and entered the dilapidated house, where laughter came from inside.
Tang Xiaoqing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, it turned out that people still have to obey birth, old age, sickness and death, which is a fact that no one can change.
"It's not your fault, maybe death is a relief." Duanmu Qi saw the person with a tangled face, and comforted him.
Tang Xiaoqing didn't speak, and after returning to Tang's house, he locked himself in his room, lying on the bed and no one knocked on the door.
In this short life, she doesn't know what will happen to her, let alone when she will die, although her superb medical skills can save people, but it can't save people who can't die.
"How do you go out and come back like this." Huang Ailian looked anxiously at the closed door, for fear that the people inside would do something stupid.
Duanmu Qi briefly recounted the matter, Lin Yao shook his head and sighed lightly: "The little sister is kind-hearted, I'm afraid it's because she can't heal the old woman well, so she is depressed." ”
"This stupid girl, it's not her fault that she can't save people." Huang Ailian felt even more sorry for Tang Xiaoqing.
When several people were anxious, the door was opened from the inside, and Tang Xiaoqing walked out expressionlessly.
Huang Ailian saw the person who came out, took his hand and comforted: "Xiaoqing, I won't blame you for this matter, don't be sad." ”
Lin Yao was also about to comfort her, but suddenly remembered that something was still stewed in the pot, so she hurriedly ran to the kitchen, and kept shouting, "It's over, it's all mushy." ”
Tang Xiaoqing chuckled, in fact, she didn't drill the horns, but she felt sad for a while.
Duanmu Qi saw that there was no one who was fine, so he was relieved to leave.
Tang Xiaoqing pulled her mother into the room, took out a small box from the bed and opened it.
"This, this is ......" Huang Ailian's eyes widened in surprise.
"This is the money earned from the previous treatment, as well as the money earned from selling wild boars, plus the ...... from selling medicinal herbs this time."
"I'm asking you what you're going to do with the money." Huang Ailian interrupted her words, saying that money should not be exposed, especially so much silver naturally has to be put away, how can it be taken out casually.
"Mother, let's take this silver, go to the town to rent a small yard, and move to the town to live." Tang Xiaoqing felt that Huangjiacun was becoming more and more isolated from them.
Sometimes the water from the well is deliberately put down, and there are even people who put dead rats in front of her house, and maybe moving them away will stop them.
When Huang Ailian heard her words, she resolutely vetoed: "No, you earned all this money, we can't ask for it, you can keep it for yourself as a dowry." ”
"But ......"
"And it's good that we live here, we don't have to go to town and waste it." Huang Ailian directly snuffed out her thoughts.
She knew that Xiaoqing felt sorry for them being isolated, but they had long been accustomed to such things, and it was not the first time, but it had not been so excessive before.
Huang Ailian closed her box, and then said in a serious tone: "Next time, you are not allowed to take out this silver, you have to keep it alive, don't lose it." ”
"I know my mother." Tang Xiaoqing knew that her mother was stubborn, and no one could change what her mother decided, so she didn't say anything more, and she had to stop it.
Tang Xiaoqing made time and began to work on the fifth brother's cold disease, so she also deliberately ran to find Tang Wuhan.
"Fifth brother, how are you doing?"
"It's still the same." Tang Wuhan is willing to go out of the room now, but he is still not very willing to talk to others, and he will occasionally answer a few words when others ask.
"Fifth brother, don't worry, I studied your cold syndrome, and now it is divided into three steps, the first is to pre-soak the medicine for seven days, this is to drive away the cold in your body."
As for this medicinal herb, she could only take it out of the space, and it just so happened that the medicinal herbs she had grown could come in handy.
"What about the remaining two?" Tang Wuhan knew that he shouldn't have too many illusions, but when he thought that his little sister had cured so many people one after another, he should also be able to cure his stubborn diseases.
"If the medicinal bath is effective, the second step is acupuncture, followed by drinking medicine, which requires a process." Tang Xiaoqing briefly explained the process, of course, the truth is not so simple.
"Okay." Tang Wuhan saw hope again, and his heart that sank to the bottom was raised again.
In the past few days, because of the lessons taught to the people in the village a few times before, now in addition to being isolated, the Tang family has nothing to do.
Tang Xiaoqing went back and forth to the town several times to sell medicinal materials, which also gave the shopkeeper Lin of the medicinal herb store a certain understanding of his medical skills.
