Chapter 17: The Hall of Rejuvenation
While pouring him wine, Wanran chattered: "Son, a thousand taels of silver, the slave knows, what you have in your hand is silver, but you are not so generous to a little country prostitute, right?" ”
Mu Nanyun raised his wine glass, and the brilliance in his eyes could not be hidden, "What do you know?" She's probably the one I'm looking for. ”
"Who?" The eyes of the peach blossoms were wide and watery.
Mu Nanyun's expression froze, "You shouldn't inquire, don't ask more." ”
Suddenly he was immediately silenced.
And Mu Nanyun's eyes are becoming more and more deep and unpredictable.
After Qu Xiaobai went out, he took out two ingots of silver, and put the rest into Yang Ling's arms, unable to hide the ecstasy in his heart, and was about to jump up. Five hundred taels of silver! When she saw that situation yesterday, she only felt that her heart was about to be half cold. But I didn't expect five hundred taels to come so easily.
At first, Yang Ling didn't understand why Xiaobai put the silver on him, but it soon became clear that five hundred taels of silver was not a decimal number, and it would not attract attention if it was placed on a fool.
It is true that Qu Xiaobai also understands that these five hundred taels have just encountered a big wrong, and it will not be easy to make money and make a living in this war-torn country in the future.
carried the silver and pushed the wheelbarrow, but Qu Xiaobai was in no hurry to go home.
She inquired with the pedestrians on the road whether there were any doctors with better medical skills in the town, and learned that there was an old doctor surnamed Li, whose full name was Li Jingwen, and his medical skills were very good.
Yang Ling muttered: "Go home." He didn't know where she was going to take him, and he was suddenly afraid that she would be a demon again. If he goes to another kiln to sing music, he can't stand it!
Qu Xiaobai really didn't act as a demon this time, "Brother Ling, I heard people in the village say that before you were three years old, you were not stupid, not only were you not stupid, but you were also very smart, and then you became stupid for some reason." I want to take you to see a doctor to see if he can cure your disease. ”
If she could really cure his illness, her burden would be lighter, wouldn't she?
Yang Ling couldn't speak for a while.
He wasn't really stupid before, but not before he was three, but before he was sixteen. When he was very young, someone told him to play stupid, because his identity is special, and only by pretending to be stupid can he save his life. That mysterious person, who has a high level of martial arts, said that he would teach him martial arts, and he asked him to worship him as a master, and he wanted to learn it very much, so he obediently pretended to be stupid and called him master very obediently.
When he was sixteen years old, he injured the back of his head in a fight with someone, and since then he has become stupid, until He Qu Xiaobai was thrown into a broken house, and his head was hit again, and he regained his senses.
Whether it is really stupid or fake stupid, the people of the Yang family have never thought of taking him to see the doctor, because he is in the Yang family, he is just a dispensable burden, an item that can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver per month, and it is a guarantee that Yang Xingmao can be righteous for a long time.
But because of the fight three years ago, he was injured, and all those people died, and no one handed over the silver to Yang Xingmao's hands, and Yang Xingmao's Li Zheng also did smoothly without human support, so he had no effect.
Yang Xingmao hated to kick him far away immediately, and he did that a few days ago.
Qu Xiaobai, a girl who married him when he was stupid, knows that he is stupid and never abandons him, is she stupid?
His stupid daughter-in-law.
Qu Xiaobai pulled him to find Li Jingwen's medical center, not far behind the bazaar, on a street with a black plaque with a few bronzing words: Rejuvenation Hall.
In ancient times, the medical hall was nothing more than a name such as Huichun Hall Renhetang, which not only demonstrated medical ethics and medical skills, but also could be recognized as the name of the medical hall at a glance, and this one was no exception.
The store inside is not big, there is only a young man grabbing medicine, there is no doctor sitting in the hall, Qu Xiaobai asked the guy: "Excuse me, is Dr. Li here?" ”
The medical hall is famous, but the young man is not a bully, and said with a smile: "Our husband is sitting in the back, do you want to see a doctor?" ”
As soon as the young man said that he wanted to see a doctor, Yang Ling showed a very frightened look, shook his head and said that he would not see it, Qu Xiaobai persuaded him: "Good, let's let Dr. Li take a look, the illness will be cured, and you can farm with me to live when you are sick." ”
"Farming."
Yang Ling showed that he was very interested in farming. If Qu Xiaobai knew that the farming he said was not the farming she said, but farming on her, she would probably kick him to Nanshannan!
The young man also saw that this man had a bad brain, and led people back to the hall with an embarrassed and polite smile.
In the hall at the back, there was an old doctor with a white beard, and there were more than a dozen patients lined up in front of the old doctor.
It was a kind old doctor, pointing to the line, signaling her to line up.
Qu Xiaobai looked at the doctor from a distance, he was very careful and serious, and his complexion was also very gentle, and he had a good impression of the doctor in his heart, and when she finally got to them, she pressed Yang Ling on the seat and took the initiative to tell the doctor about her condition: "Doctor Li, my husband's brain, I don't know why, has become much duller than before, please take a look." ”
Although she said it very tactfully, Li Jingwen heard it very clearly, and the people in line behind it also understood it very clearly, and a large series of strange eyes converged on Yang Ling's body, Yang Ling was very hurt and aggrieved, and a voice in his heart shouted: Daughter-in-law, I'm not sick, you are spending money in vain!
How Li Jingwen's medical skills Yang Ling didn't know, for the sake of insurance, he deliberately used internal force to block the flow of blood and qi in his body, Li Jingwen diagnosed the pulse for a long time, his face gradually deepened, Qu Xiaobai was very nervous: "Doctor, how is it?" Is there any salvation? ”
Yang Ling: Daughter-in-law, how can you speak, I'm not terminally ill.
Li Jingwen thought about it for a long time, and said very gently: "Well, this Langjun's illness is not a day or two that can be cured, little lady, you have to be prepared, it may take a long time and spend a lot of silver......"
Li Jingwen didn't speak, and Qu Xiaobai jumped up happily: "Doctor, what do you mean, his illness can be cured?" That's great! Fools, our illness can be cured! Doctor, we'll treat you as much as you want! Please give us the best medicine! ”
If it can be cured, she is willing to sing a few more times!
I don't know how happy I am.
Little fool, in fact, strictly speaking, she has only known him for two days, and she will do whatever it takes to be a new acquaintance, if you think about it, this is outrageous.
But where did Qu Xiaobai have time to think about it, she had been carried away by joy.
Yang Ling knew very well in his heart that this Li Jingwen was also a master of fame and reputation. But he couldn't stop Qu Xiaobai from grabbing medicine, so he could only watch as the money she sang was used to catch medicine for him.
Li Jingwen prescribed seven doses of medicine, and seven doses of medicine was eighteen taels of silver, Qu Xiaobai didn't blink his eyelids, and he happily paid the silver.
What she thought to herself was that, after all, it was a medicine that could cure diseases, and it was worth spending more money.
When leaving, Li Jingwen also instructed him to continue to come to check the pulse and take medicine after eating, and he could not stop. Qu Xiaobai naturally agreed to all of them.
I bought the medicine, and by the way, I bought the casserole for decoction of medicine, and the wheelbarrow was already full, and there was no place for her to sit again, but since she had the silver in her hand, she still went to buy some more things.
For example, the gauze paper for pasting windows, curtains, paper for pasting walls, etc., I also bought some meat and eggs, but I didn't dare to buy too much because of the hot weather, just to satisfy the greed of fools.
Because the fool had caught fish in the river before, she bought a fishing net, and planned to go back and catch some more fish with the fool and sell them in the bazaar, in exchange for some loose silver flowers.
After everything was bought, the big set was dispersed, and Yang Ling carried her to the car again and pushed her back.
Because the car was full, she only got a small space the size of a palm to stay, and fortunately she was thin and not so cramped to sit.
Along the way, I met several people from the village who came back from the market, and everyone teased, "Yo, fool, this is a rich man, buy so many things!" ”
"A fool still knows that he feels sorry for his daughter-in-law, it's not bad!"
"Fool, carry your daughter-in-law around your neck and go home!"
Qu Xiaobai said a few words unceremoniously, and Yang Ling was about to hit people with a stone again, but she was held back. It's just a matter of taking advantage of a little quarrel, it really hurts people, and she doesn't have so much money to treat people now.
There is no way, a penny is difficult for heroes, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Wait, if I Qu Xiaobai has a developed day, you won't even dare to look up!
As a last resort, the two of them did not take the road in the village again, but took a long detour from the field and went back to the hut.
But it is precisely because of this that Qu Xiaobai found that a lot of houttuynia grew on the ridges of that field. She was interested in Chinese medicine in her previous life, and she read many books on Chinese medicine, she knew that Houttuynia cordata was a good medicine, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" said that it could dissipate heat and poison carbuncles, sores and hemorrhoids, prolapse the anus, break off the disease, and detoxify.
"Modern Chinese Medicine" also said that the leaves of Houttuynia cordata can be used to treat sores, eczema, low back pain and other diseases, and it can be used as a bath, its roots are chewed, and it can also prevent the onset of coronary heart disease angina. In short, it has a great effect!
It's still the turn of spring and summer, the roots of Houttuynia cordata haven't grown yet, and it will take some time to pick them, and Qu Xiaobai almost can't wait.
In her previous life, she never worried about money and other things, her top-level singing skills made her appearance fee frighteningly high, and her family background is good, her father is an entrepreneur, her mother is a national first-class actor, and her father has been waiting for her to have enough fun to inherit the family business.
Alas, it has now been reduced to the hard work of trying to eat three meals a day, which is really lucky.
When I got home, it was already early afternoon, and the sun was still shining brightly, shining warm in front of the door.
Qu Xiaobai took down the two catties of scallion pancakes he bought from the car, peeled a few green onions, poured out a little sauce, put down the small square table and small square stool he bought, and put it in the sun in front of the door. I'll eat at noon, and after eating, we'll paste the curtains and wallpaper, and I'll make you something to eat in the evening. ”
