Chapter 16: The pawnshop is robbed
"Old lady, it's the villain who is embarrassing you. Life should be cheaper, death should be more expensive, this is the rule. Besides, you see, there is a crack in this jade pendant, I'm afraid that it accidentally knocked on it. The shopkeeper pointed at the void and said with a smile: "The carver is not worth mentioning, for the sake of the face of Anxian County, add three taels." If you die, I will be scolded by the owner and give you fifty taels of silver. ”
"Nonsense, what's the crack?" Mrs. An shook her head: "Don't die, don't die, it's too little." ”
The shopkeeper pushed the jade pendant in front of her, and said kindly: "Then it won't be done, why don't you try another house, old lady?" ”
Another? He is the only one in this ghost place, where is there any other family? This is clearly taking advantage of the fire to rob! Mrs. An was so angry that she trembled but couldn't help it, she wanted to take the jade pendant and leave, and the only seedling grandson in the family was waiting to buy medicine to save her life, if she relied on this profiteer, she really couldn't bear this breath, and thirteen taels of silver, it was really not enough to buy medicine for Maomao.
An Yi saw the greed and calculation in the eyes of the shopkeeper clearly, and said coldly at the moment: "Great court, this jade pendant is worth a few hundred taels of silver, although the pawnshop is a million profits, but it does not kill people like this." Don't forget it, let's show our face and don't go to find someone to mortgage it, borrowing money is better than being slaughtered like this. ”
Mrs. An was reminded by her, and immediately came to her senses, and said with full confidence: "Yes, yes, I'll take it to find Chen Dahu or the county master." As he spoke, he was going to collect the jade pendant.
"Okay." The shopkeeper didn't care, and he made a gesture to go inside.
Mrs. An knew that what was more momentum at the moment was the momentum, so she took the jade pendant and walked out, because she was still waiting for the shopkeeper to call her back to negotiate the price, so she didn't return to her arms. Who would have thought that before the door, two big men dressed in red and green suddenly walked in quickly from outside, snatched the jade pendant in her hand, and shouted: "Debt repayment!" Bao Liang will not pay back the money he owes us, so he will pay off this jade pendant for the time being! ”
The sudden change occurred, Mrs. An and An Yi were both startled, and when they came back to their senses, they immediately stepped forward to grab the jade pendant. An Yi reacted quickly, and hurriedly grabbed the old rope on the jade pendant and resolutely refused to let go; Mrs. An was fierce, so she beckoned to the two big men with the rattan cane in her hand, and scolded loudly: "Where did you come from! In broad daylight, he dared to rob the daughters of the official family! Aren't you afraid of lawsuits? ”
The two big men pushed An Yi to the ground with just one push, and then grabbed Mrs. An's crutches and threw them far away, and said loudly: "I'm afraid! Fear! Anxian Cheng is only afraid that he is even more afraid than us! It is only natural to repay debts, and he will naturally have to pay back the money he borrowed from us! If you can't afford it, you should take something to pay off your debt. His wife and daughter are official dependents, we don't dare to move, and the house where we live is the county government and can't be sold, isn't it only to use this thing to pay off the debt? ”
This is a family heirloom, and it is also Maomao's life-saving money, how can you take it away from them without knowing it? Mrs. An glared at the old man with big eyes and rushed up, just hugged the arm of the big man holding the jade pendant, and screamed bitterly: "Who knows where you are robbers!" Give me back the jade pendant! Give me back the jade pendant! It's life-saving money! ”
The big man in the red robe sneered and grabbed her hand and said, "Robber?!" Lao Tzu Xing does not change his name, he does not change his surname, and he is called Wang Hu in the east of the city! I borrowed money from Lao Tzu, and I haven't lived yet! After saying that, he pushed Mrs. An and walked away with the jade pendant.
Mrs. An's head hit the door frame, and her head was bleeding, but she couldn't care about it, so she only opened her hands and shouted and cried bitterly on the street: "Robber! Give me back my jade pendant! There is no reason, there is no reason! Before An Yi came over to support her, she had already rolled her eyes up, and fell straight to the ground with her eyes crooked.
"Grandmother, grandmother!" This is a sign of a stroke! An Yi thought of what was said in the medical book, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly and carefully put Mrs. An flat, desperately pinching Mrs. An's people, but she never saw any reaction, so she had to ask the shopkeeper and the guy in the pawnshop for help: "Help us!" My brother is waiting at home for the money to buy medicine to save his life. ”
Who knew that the shopkeeper and the man just shook their heads, but persuaded her: "Miss An, since Ling Zun owes them money, then don't say more, just go and get the IOU back." ”
An Yi saw that they were determined to refuse to help, so she had to look at the people around again, and before she could speak, she heard someone whisper: "No wonder this Anxian Cheng is getting poorer and poorer, it turned out to be Wang Hu who provoked this Yinzi money." He is also confused, how can this Wang Hu be easy to get along with? Who in this city would dare to provoke him? ”
"That Wang Hu is a cousin of the Huang family in Feilong Pass, and he is used to being domineering, even the county master doesn't pay attention to it. A few days ago, someone forced his family to ruin him, and no one dared to come out and squeak. Anxian Cheng is poor and crazy to provoke him. ”
Anxian Cheng borrowed money from Yinzi? An Yi wanted to cry without tears, didn't he know that sentence? Yinzi money, one to pay three; Profit rolls profits, turning over year after year; Borrow for one year, repay for ten years; It's not over for a few lifetimes! He's good, not only is he so poor that he goes around on credit and he owes usury! Listening to these people, this Wang Hu is still a local tyrant who can't be provoked.
An Yi had no choice but to ask the woman who was closest to her to watch the excitement: "This aunt, please help me go to the county government to find An Xiancheng, just say that my grandmother fell and fainted, let him come over quickly." Another young man was invited: "Trouble the little brother to go to the hospital for me, and ask Aunt Wu to come for treatment, can you?" ”
The woman and the young man were going to hide in the crowd, but they were directly approached by An Yi and had to reluctantly respond. An Yi hurriedly thanked her, at this time, the pawnshop shopkeeper and his buddies saw a group of people all gathered in front of their door to make a commotion, worried that Mrs. An would die here with three long and two short deaths, so they hurriedly took the initiative to provide a spring stool and hot tea, ready to step forward to help An Yi help Mrs. An to pick up and put on the spring stool.
"Thank you for your warm support." An Yi hurriedly blessed everyone, and politely refused: "I have heard every day that the old man suddenly faints and falls to the ground, and it is difficult to move at will, in case it is unfortunately a stroke, it will be difficult to deal with it properly." ”
Everyone knew that she often walked around Wu Jing's medical hall, and they felt a little reasonable when they heard her say this, and they didn't dare to cause trouble by acting rashly, so they only watched from the sidelines. I don't know if the person who went to deliver the message for An Yi lost the letter, or An Yi was worried about Mrs. An's illness and felt that time passed too slowly, and An Yi waited more and more urgently, just afraid that a long delay would make Mrs. An half-dead or die, which would make it worse.
Coincidentally, yesterday Wu Jing taught her how to first aid stroke patients, and she has also practiced on human models for a long time, so she should not recognize the wrong acupuncture points. Thinking about it, An Yi took out the needle box given by Wu Jing yesterday with trembling hands, and decided to give first aid to Mrs. An first.
When everyone saw An Yi take out the silver needle, they all whispered, saying everything, and the most was questioning. A young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, handsome eyebrows, wearing a green shirt watched the excitement with great interest, heard the incident clearly, and did not forget to ask the people around him a sentence or two when he encountered something he didn't understand, and after listening to the story of the An family, the young man in the green shirt shook his head, hugged his arms and said: "Little girl, you can think about it, this is human life, don't mess around, who is responsible for what happened?" ”
