Chapter 194: The First Deng'en and the Town {7}
"Hey, that's a long story."
The melon farmer was so distressed by this that he pulled off the straw hat from his head to reveal his bare head, and then told the reason with a splash of saliva.
He said he used to run a small clinic in the area.
And the illness that the villagers came to see him was not a major illness, but was generally nothing more than a hot-headed typhoid, cold and other minor illnesses.
He is very good at this kind of small illness and disaster, so every time he prescribes a little Chinese herbal medicine to the patient, he can make the patient recover his health within a few days.
It's easy to say, but in fact, there is no fixed time for people in the countryside to visit their homes.
So almost whenever someone knocks on the door, he gets up from the bed and treats them.
Although this kind of life of not making much money but living day and night is hard, he is still happy.
A few years have passed smoothly, but who knew that a while ago, strange things suddenly happened in the Kang family's house.
Not only did the wife of the Kang family fall ill, but even the master of the Kang family also got a serious illness.
Because of this, the Kang family sent people over to disturb him.
To be honest, he really didn't dare to take on such a low-income and risky job like this.
His worries were twofold.
The first is the fear of an accident that will cause an accident.
When the time comes, don't say that you can't get the consultation fee, it is estimated that even this old life will have to be taken in.
It's not worth it to lose your life for this little thing.
The second is because the Kang family's popularity and reputation in the town are too poor, so even if they are lucky enough to cure their illness, then they will definitely offend the villagers around them.
In this way, I am afraid that he will not be able to raise his head in front of the villagers in the future.
Because of some concerns in his heart, he was unmoved in the face of the Kang family's harassment several times.
And the reason for his shirk was that he was not good at learning and art, and he did not dare to go to the Kang family mansion to treat people easily.
The servants of the Kang family saw that he was stubborn, and then they left in a huff.
But before they left, they put down their cruel words, saying that once their master was cured from a serious illness, the first one would be to make him look good.
Looking at the back of the departing slave of the Kang family, instead of feeling relaxed, he also showed a little worry.
He knew that because of this matter at the moment, the Kang family would definitely hold a grudge against him.
Every time he thought of this, he frowned.
But who knew that this matter had not subsided, but one day suddenly another group of people brutally broke into his medical hall.
Judging from the dark black clothes of these people, he immediately recognized these guys as the family members of the Thunder God Villa, the largest force in the vicinity.
Finding out about this situation, he couldn't help but secretly complain: Hey, this is really afraid of something.
Just drove away a local snake, and now a stronger local dragon has flown for no reason.
Although he was apprehensive, he still pretended to be calm and asked what the visitor was doing.
The person who came didn't talk nonsense, and directly said that the old owner of their family had been plotted against not long ago, so he was seriously injured.
They were desperate to find a doctor, so they had to run to this medical clinic closest to Thor Villa.
Speaking of this, the melon farmer couldn't help but shake his head, and then I had to follow them to the Thor Villa to treat the old owner under pressure.
When I got there, I realized that the old farmer's injuries were far worse than they had said.
I saw the old farmer lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, his two nostrils only spurting out, and rarely inhaling in.
And the culprit that prompted him to become this form was the half-cut sword body that pierced his chest.
Seeing this scene, I secretly said in my heart that it was not good: this old farmer is very old, and if he does not take the half-cut sword out of his chest in time, I am afraid that even if he bleeds, he will be killed.
But this is easier said than done, because once the hand is not well controlled, I am afraid that the old owner will die on the spot.
I was still secretly frightened on the spot, but unexpectedly, the surrounding family members and the son of the old farmer began to urge me to hurry up and heal the old owner's injuries.
To be honest, even though I am a skilled doctor, I am still afraid that the horse will accidentally cause a fatality.
So I told the truth that the old owner's injury was too serious, and if there was a trouble, I hoped they wouldn't be angry with me.
I told the truth, but they didn't follow it, and said that if I couldn't heal their old owner, then I would wait to be buried with the old owner.
When I heard this, I was so frightened that I begged them to let me go down the mountain.
When the group heard this, they were not furious, and they were about to beat me up, but the young owner of the village stopped them in time.
Although the young owner didn't let people beat me, he still scolded me for being a deceptive and a thief with a gloomy face, and said that even such a small injury could not be cured, so what should I be.
With his order, the medical clinic that I had worked so hard to run for many years was completely closed.
As for me, I have become the dejected appearance I am now.
After telling the story in his heart in one breath, the melon farmer was already sitting on the thick dirt with a dejected face.
"I knew that things would get to such a point, I really shouldn't have easily agreed to them to go up the mountain!"
While he sighed that it was really difficult to eat a bowl of rice in this world, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Hey! I think there are so many talented and virtuous people in this world, but the wealth of these people is at your fingertips.
But I hung the pot to help the world and save countless people, but who knew that when it came, I ended up deceiving the world and stealing my name.
I really don't know if God deliberately played a big joke on me, or if this world needs a down-and-out person like me to reflect the infinite glory of the rich and noble. ”
His tone was sad but a little unwilling, and he seemed to be still feeling remorse and struggle for what had happened that day.
Seeing his depressed appearance, Xiaobao and the others knew that this incident must have dealt a big blow to him.
"Hey, people live for a lifetime, who can guarantee that their life will be smooth."
Uncle Cheng went over and patted the shoulder of the melon farmer who was secretly crying, "As long as you have a breath, you should use all your courage to make a comeback!" If so, you will not be in vain in this world! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, the mountain in the east can still stand up if it falls, and with your ability, are you afraid that you can't do a big mountain!"
Wang Tao is not as good at speaking as Uncle Cheng, but he also knows that he should give this discouraged melon farmer a little encouragement at this moment.
So he didn't care whether what he said was right or not, he just imitated Uncle Cheng's tone and said such a clueless sentence.
"Haha...."
The melon farmer burst into tears and laughed, he shook his head helplessly, but as if he was thoughtful.
"Hmph, what you stupid guy said is funny, but what the implication is in it..."
"Hehe, Brother Wang Tao's words are really incisive."
"Oops, I was really defeated by you."
After hearing Wang Tao's words, Cuihong, Xiaomei, and Xiaobao couldn't help but complain about him.
Wang Tao was very proud of being praised by others, and when he raised his neck and was about to say a few more words, he was unexpectedly directly stunned by Uncle Cheng's brain.
"Come on, praise you a few words and you're still breathing, hurry up and follow me to Thor Villa to see the situation."
After Uncle Cheng said this, he quickly sped up his pace and ran straight to the hillside in front of him.
Seeing this, Xiaobao and the others didn't dare to slack off, and they followed in a hurry.
Seeing them running farther and farther, Wang Tao was relieved.
The first thing he reacted to was: "Uncle Cheng, wow, Uncle Cheng!" We can't buy watermelons yet! ”
Since separating from the melon farmers, several people led by Uncle Cheng have traveled all the way along the mountain path.
When they passed by a ruined temple on the side of the road, Uncle Cheng couldn't help but stop.
I saw that the temple in front of me was a little damaged, and even the window paper had been scraped.
There is nothing unusual about the broken temple, but the many red charms posted on the temple wall are very eye-catching.
When Uncle Cheng stood here looking at the broken temple, Xiaobao and the others also hurried to catch up.
They saw Uncle Cheng in a daze, so they turned their heads to look at the broken temple beside the road with curiosity.
As a result, Xiaobao immediately noticed a strange phenomenon.
If nothing else, it stands to reason that as a temple, there must be a statue of a god enshrined in it.
In order to show the grandeur of the temple, its structure must be made of vermilion tiles for the roof and the golden wall for the exterior.
However, the temple in front of it is ingenious, not only is it a black tile roof, but even the walls are dark gray.
"Brother, this temple not only has a strange appearance, but even the surrounding area is not a single grass, what do you say is going on?"
Cui Hong's eyes stared solemnly at the locked gate of the broken temple, and asked Uncle Cheng with confusion.
"This..."
Uncle Cheng smacked his lips as if he wanted to say something, but his two eyes rolled slightly and forcibly changed the topic: "Put this matter aside for the time being, you can follow me to Thor Mountain Villa for a while." ”
"Hmm."
Emeralds nodded, then turned and left.
...
"Bang bang bang!"
A dull and powerful slamming sound suddenly sounded outside the red lacquered door.
At the same time, the four figures were already standing here and began a long wait.
"Hey, what the hell are these old boys doing in there? I've been knocking on the door for so long, why hasn't anyone come out to open the door for us! ”
Wang Tao bent over and squinted through the narrow gap, and kept peeking into the door, but the door was opened from the inside without warning.
"Oops, hey, hehe..."
"I'm rubbing, who are you, are you the real murderer who wants to assassinate my old owner!"
Due to his own inertia, Wang Tao was caught off guard and directly threw the person who opened the door to the ground.
And the strong man who was knocked to the ground was shaking the stubble on his face and glaring angrily at Wang Tao.
The incident came too suddenly, causing Wang Tao's brain to short-circuit for a while, and he didn't know how to answer the strong man's question.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds.
Just when Wang Tao was stunned, the strong man had already waved his fists and knocked him directly to the ground.
