Chapter 55: Helping Others to the End

Lao Zhou and the woman nodded, looked at the master seriously, the master glanced at Zhou Shengxue who was lying on the hospital bed, and said: "First, your son's condition has improved, but he needs to recuperate for a few more days, is he going to school?"

Lao Zhou said yes, the master nodded and continued: "Ask for a leave, let him recuperate at home for a period of time, in addition, you can apply to be discharged home tonight, you can buy a big rooster and put it at home tomorrow morning, or buy a black dog, these two animals, I believe you have also heard, I don't need to say more, second, within seven days, wash his body with mugwort leaves, drive away the evil qi that originally stayed, otherwise the evil qi enters the body, and the consequences are unimaginable, you must remember this clearly, third, every fifteenth day of the new year, Bring some paper money and incense to the river to worship during the New Year's holiday, but you should pay special attention to one thing, don't get too close to the river when worshipping, and if you feel anything uncomfortable, recite the meditation mantra in your heart, the one I just taught you."

When the master said this, Lao Zhou nodded and said, "Lingbao Tianzun, comfort the body?" Is that so, benefactor".

The master snorted, and Lao Zhou asked again: "Can you go to worship by the lake and the river, or can you only go to the river?"

"Anything, as long as there is water and the water is spacious." The master replied.

After Lao Zhou and the woman took what the master said to heart, the master glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back first."

The master and I stood up, and Lao Zhou also stood up and said, "Well, this, benefactor, how much does it cost."

"Money? What money". The master said suspiciously.

"You have helped us so much, our family is also poor, and we can't repay you with anything valuable, so let's do it, I still have more than a thousand yuan on me, do you think this can work, I will definitely make up for you when I have money in the future, really."

After Lao Zhou finished speaking, he took out a plastic bag from his pocket, which contained a thousand yuan in cash, Lao Zhou counted it, and just wanted to hand it to the master, but the master refused him, and said: "Lao Zhou, instead of giving me this thousand yuan, it is better to buy some supplements for your son, right, you can take back this money, they are all people living in the same city, and it is appropriate to help each other."

But Lao Zhou looked embarrassed, insisted on giving it to the master, and the master didn't want it, pushing and shoving for a long time, and Lao Zhou took the money back.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you so much, otherwise I'll give you gas money." Lao Zhou said.

"I don't need any gas money, don't be polite to me, don't say no, it's not early, we have to leave, take good care of my son." The master said.

Lao Zhou nodded, so he had to take the money back, and when he was about to open the door of the ward, he saw the doctor before him walk in and said, "How is it, how is your son's condition, has he woken up?"

After speaking, the doctor walked to the side of the bed, listened to Zhou Shengxue's heartbeat and pulse with a stethoscope, touched his forehead again, and suddenly smiled and said: "The body temperature is normal, the heartbeat is slow, it seems that our medicine is working."

But after the four of us heard what the doctor said, we all looked a little embarrassed, but we didn't show it, the doctor came over and said to Lao Zhou: "This is the hospitalization fee and medical fee, you go and pay it, this child will be in the hospital for a few days for observation."

Lao Zhou took the list of expenses with a blank face, glanced at the expenses on it, was stunned directly, and shouted: "100,000!" Why is it so expensive, my son has just moved in for two hours, why is it so expensive".

Lao Zhou looked at the list in disbelief, but heard the doctor sneer and said: "Heh, what do you think, the medicine we use for the child is the best, don't you see that it has already worked, when the child first came in, the child's hands and feet were cold, and now that the medicine has been used, it has returned to normal, and you are still too expensive"?

Lao Zhou couldn't speak, looking at the list, the woman didn't know what to do, this 100,000 yuan may not be worth much in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Lao Zhou's opinion, this is the same as 500,000 and 1 million.

Seeing that the two of them did not speak, the doctor was impatient, and said, "Okay, you should go to the first floor and pay the money, otherwise there are still many people waiting to use this bed."

After speaking, the doctor walked out of the ward directly, Lao Zhou faced the huge sum of 100,000 yuan, and his heart was relieved, and he pulled it up again, and said: "This.... What should I do, Lan Fang, how much money is left at home."

"Plus the cash you have, it's only 50,000 yuan, what if it's still 50,000 yuan, Lao Zhou, why don't you borrow it."

"Borrow? Whoever I borrow from, they all think I am poor, and they are afraid that if I borrow money and can't pay it back, who will borrow me, alas"!

After Lao Zhou finished speaking, he sighed heavily, sat on the chair, pinched the list tightly with both hands, lowered his head, I glanced at the master, the master shrugged his shoulders, took out a card from his pocket, walked to Lao Zhou's side and said: "There are 500,000 in this card, you take it first, give it to the child."

Lao Zhou raised his head, looked at the card in his master's hand, and hurriedly postponed it and said: "Benefactor, don't, I can't afford this card, I will find a way, there will be a way."

"What else do you have to do, tell you to take it, don't talk about anything else." After the master finished speaking, he directly stuffed the card into Lao Zhou's jacket pocket.

Lao Zhou just wanted to take it out and return it to the master, but the master stopped him and said: "If you are really good for the child, take it, even if I help your family."

Lao Zhou looked at the card in his hand, didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he trembled his hands and said to the master: "Benefactor, there is no way to repay the great kindness, I will work hard to make money and return it to you."

The master smiled slightly and nodded, I also knew what the master meant, it was nothing more than to let Lao Zhou feel burdened, Lao Zhou looked at the card in his hand, stood up with the list of expenses, and was about to walk out of the ward, but was stopped by the master.

"Lao Zhou, where are you going?"

Lao Zhou was stunned, glanced at the list and said, "Benefactor, I'll pay the money."

But the master laughed, walked to Lao Zhou's side, took the card and stuffed it back into his jacket pocket, and took the list again, Lao Zhou looked at the master incomprehensibly, the master grabbed the list with both hands, and tore it directly, Lao Zhou suddenly panicked, and said: "Benefactor, what are you doing."

The master threw the waste note in the garbage basket and said: "Who said that I gave you this card, I asked you to pay the money, and the 500,000 yuan was for you to use to supplement the family, don't worry about the hospital, you can take the child back directly now, no one dares to stop you."

I looked at the master, smiled at the corner of my mouth, and then looked at Lao Zhou and the woman, the couple was completely speechless at this time, the master patted Lao Zhou's shoulder, and said: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go, pack up your things, I'll go out with you, I'll see who dares to block the way."

Lao Zhou was urged by the master, didn't think about it so much, nodded like a chicken pecking rice, cleaned up with the woman, picked up the child from the hospital bed, and walked out of the ward with us.

People passing by around thought that the child was getting better and was going to be discharged from the hospital, but in my eyes and the master, it would be another slap in the face.

We went down the stairs to the first floor, Lao Zhou carried his son on his back, but happened to see the doctor who had just been consulted, the doctor was also stunned for a moment, and came over and said: "Is the money paid, didn't I say that the child will stay in the hospital for a few days for observation, what are you doing, don't you want the child to recover"?

Lao Zhou just wanted to speak, but the master stood up and said to the doctor with a smile: "I'm sorry, the child is already well, we haven't paid the money, and now we are going to be discharged from the hospital, please get out of the way."

The doctor was stunned and looked at us for a while before he said, "What? Want to leave without paying the money? You should think this is your own home, this is a hospital, and the child can be discharged, but the money must be paid, otherwise I will call the security guard."

"Doctor, your 100,000 yuan is too expensive, we can't afford it, and we haven't done anything, why do you want 100,000 yuan, is a bottle of medicine worth 100,000 yuan?" Lao Zhou said.

"Too expensive? Electricity, water, bed, and medicine are not money? If you think it's expensive, what hospital will you come to, what child you will save, and let him fend for himself."

The doctor's words were a little ugly, Lao Zhou and his wife were also very simple, as soon as these words came out, Lao Zhou and his wife didn't know what to say, and we gradually surrounded people.

The master's face sank, and he said: "Your surname is Wang, how did you get admitted to the medical major, how can you talk more stinky than dung, I think you don't want to call Wang Neng, it's better to call Wang Ba, it's in line with your temperament, Doctor Wang"!

The master's words scolded Dr. Wang in a daze, and he woke up and shouted: "Hey, I said you, how can you scold people, hey, everyone come and see, our hospital has carefully treated and cured this child, this person not only thanked him, but also scolded people in turn, what kind of truth is this, let's evaluate it."

After the doctor surnamed Wang shouted, there were more and more onlookers, and Lao Zhou and his wife also panicked in the face of this battle, but the master was calm and calm, and said: "Don't you want to mix here"?

"Why, who are you, threatening me? Ouch, I'm so scared, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, look at you like this, and threaten me, stupid."

After the doctor surnamed Wang finished speaking, I knew that this person was completely abolished, because he scolded who was not good and dared to scold the master, I turned my head to look at the master, the master's face gradually sank, and said with a smile: "Is it a big-tailed wolf, let's wait and discuss it again, call your dean, and I will talk to him."

When the words fell, Dr. Wang continued to say in a mocking tone: "You still call our dean, our dean is busy, and there are no idlers, you either pay the fee, or go to jail and watch it yourself."
