After a while, a middle-aged man about forty years old came out, wearing a black gown with medicinal incense. The man looked at the two girls, but he was a little surprised, and looked back at his little apprentice. If his apprentices had seen such people in the past, most of them would have been kicked out, but today they have a good heart.

"Who's sick?" The doctor was not dissatisfied, and looked at the two young girls who were still in good spirits and asked.

"Trouble the doctor to help me look at my legs." Xiao Xia said and took a few steps forward.

The doctor looked the little girl up and down, she was very young, but the spirit in her eyes could not be ignored. No matter what his identity is, it doesn't hurt to take a look, he is not a doctor who hangs the pot to help the world, nor is he black-hearted.

"Sit down, I'll show you, are your legs born or acquired?" The doctor took Xiao Xia to the room in the back hall for special consultation, asked her to sit down, and began to touch her bones.

"It's been almost two years since I fell from a tree, and my family didn't have money to treat me at that time."

The doctor touched it for a long time, and finally shook his head. "Little girl, I won't lie to you. Your leg was just out of place, and it would be nice to find a doctor to correct your bones for a month or two. Now it's troublesome, because you are young, you grow fast, and the misaligned bones grow out of place for two years. If you want to treat it, you need to break it first, then reconnect it again, and then let it slowly open, which may take a year or two. ”

Xiao Xia heard that she was not worried as long as you could cure it, she was still young and still had time.

"As long as the doctor can cure it, I don't know how much it costs?"

"After the new connection, you have to change the dressing frequently, and it will take about ten taels of silver to say the least." The doctor thought that the little girl would definitely not be cured, and when her leg was just broken, it could be cured for a few dozen dollars, but there was no money, so where could she take out ten taels of silver now.

"Okay, I don't know what I need to prepare, when I'm ready, the doctor will start the treatment when he has time." She can't take out ten taels of silver now, but according to the doctor's wishes, she shouldn't need to take out ten taels at once. There are still some gold ornaments in the space, as well as a few diamond rings and jade, if not, go to the county seat and do something.

Xiao Xia saw the doctor's surprised expression on his face, thinking that he thought he didn't have any silver, so he took out a tael of silver from his arms. "I paid for the consultation first."

The doctor was a little embarrassed when he saw that Xiao Xia saw through his thoughts, and shook his head again. "Forget the consultation fee, I can't cure your leg."

"The doctor is afraid that I won't have the money to heal?"

"That's not it, I can't cure it. Although I know how to treat it, it takes a lot of experience to break the leg bone and reconnect it, otherwise if you don't get it, even if you are connected, you will still be lame, so what's the point. ”

Xiao Xia was very disappointed when he heard the doctor's words, there is only one medical center in the town, do you want to go to the county? It takes a day just to get to the prefecture on the road. In the future, she needs to change the medicine from time to time, which is really inconvenient with her current situation at home.

"Don't be discouraged, girl, you come on the first day of next month, and a doctor who is very experienced in docking bones will come to my medical hall to sit in the hall, and he will definitely be able to treat your leg."

"Thank you, doctor, I will definitely come on the first day of next month." It's really a twist and turn.

"You don't have to prepare anything, just come and go." The doctor saw the little girl's happy appearance, even if she was dressed in tatters, she was very pleased.

Koharu was also very happy to hear this, and almost knelt down, but was stopped by the doctor.

"Doctor, I don't know if you have any 100-year-old ginseng for sale here?" Xiao Xia didn't forget about her mother, but she also knew that it might be difficult to find ginseng.

"You girl is still looking for a hundred years of ginseng, I haven't seen it in so many years as a doctor?" The doctor shook his head.

"How much silver does it cost to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng?" Xiao Xia thinks that this doctor is still good, and he can talk about it.

"Why don't you have to pay a hundred taels! It's not something you can think about, so let's heal your legs! ”

When Koharu heard this, he felt that there was hope again, and he just wanted to shed tears, thinking that this was outside and he didn't dare to drop it.

When Xiao Xia heard this, it seemed that he still had to hurry up and make money, and shouted three times loudly in his heart, money, money, money.

"Thank you, doctor, I will definitely come on the first day of next month."

When the two of them left the hospital, Koharu's face was sad, and the joy of coming to the town was gone.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to make money. You think, even now we can't eat ginseng. Xiao Xia hurriedly comforted her sister and told her again.

"My sister shouldn't tell anyone about my leg treatment."

"Why? Is this a good thing? Koharu was puzzled.

"If grandma asks where the money comes from to cure her legs, how do we explain it?"

"Alright! Can't Daddy say it? Koharu asked expectantly.

"I can't." Xiao Xia replied categorically.

"Okay!" Koharu felt that he had a lot of secrets that he couldn't tell when he came out.

"Don't be sad, we only have a little time now, let's hurry up and buy things, we want to buy cloth to make clothes. Just now I saw a dim sum seller and a candy seller, so we bought it for Xiaoqiu. Xiao Xia pulled Koharu into action again.

The first time Koharu bought something, he was a ten-year-old kid who forgot all his worries. I bought two boxes of pastries and two packets of candy, and it cost twenty-five yuan. Koharu has candy in her mouth, and it is funny to be happy, nervous, and worried.

The two came to the embroidery workshop again, bought two feet of cyan cotton cloth from the proprietress, and bought the cloth head for selling the remaining cotton cloth, and two of them were muslin cloth, intending to make clothes for Xiaoqiu. I bought eight catties of cotton, and spent a total of 150 yuan. Xiao Xia put the cotton in the package, but it was actually put in the empty inside, in case it was turned out when she got home, it was not necessarily her own. The proprietress looked at Xiao Xia's package a little strangely, these eight catties of cotton are not old and young, why is it just like that?

The two sisters finally bought their things and hurried to the place where the ox cart was parked, but when they arrived, fortunately the ox cart had not left.

"Grandpa Niu, this is the car money." Xiao Xia took out four cents and gave it to Grandpa Niu, who was sitting in the car smoking a cigarette pouch.

The old man took the money, nodded, and continued to smoke.

"Xiao Xia, have you sold all your mother's purse?" Mrs. Liu has also come back, seeing that the two little girls are each carrying a package, she knows that she has also sold something, but although she is curious, she does not inquire about what she bought.

"Thanks to Grandma Liu's help, my mother's purse is sold, four cents a piece! After changing the money, my sister and I bought some cloth and went back to let my mother make clothes. Xiao Xia replied happily.

"Then I bought a lot, and your mother's embroidery work is also very good, what did you eat at noon?"

The two of them shook their heads, and they had been busy for two hours, so that there was time to eat.

The people sitting in the car thought that the two dolls had no money to buy food, although they sympathized with each other, but every family was eager to break the two halves of a penny, and the kind-hearted baby who bought food for other people's children in the town, and his own baby may still be hungry now.

Shen Zisheng, who was also sitting in the car, had already come back, holding the newly bought book and looking at it, he also heard the conversation in the car, looking at the two thin girls, he was very sympathetic, thinking that there were still two copper plates left in his pocket, so he turned around and went to buy two vegetarian buns and came back.

When Shen Zisheng handed the hot buns to the two sisters, the people in the car looked at them in surprise, but they didn't say anything. The people in the village have a good evaluation of him, he is a good boy, and he reads well. Because the two girls are still young, they don't have any special ideas when they look at them, and knowing him is a kind move.

Shen Hui, who happened to rush back, saw it, and was crazy with jealousy.

"You two girls, I won't learn well after just a while, and I know how to hook up with people at a young age."

Xiao Chun and Xiao Xia were also surprised by Shen Zisheng's purchase of steamed buns for them, and were about to refuse, this steamed bun is not something that every family has to eat, and this person dare not accept it. But before the two could speak, they were inexplicably scolded by Shen Hui.

Shen Zisheng also frowned, he had almost no impression of Shen Hui before, but now he felt that this girl was very annoying.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by hooking up with someone?" Xiao Xia tilted her neck and asked curiously.

Shen Hui also knew that she had lost her temper, so she quickly changed her words. "How can you let Brother Zisheng buy you buns to eat, I'm really hungry, and the family doesn't give you food."

Xiao Xia felt that he was a person who had experienced the end of the world, and he couldn't cure a teenage girl, so he would live two lives in vain. She has long seen that her sister-in-law seems to be interested in this son-in-law, and she wants to destroy her image in front of the person she wants, depending on how you pretend.

"Brother Zisheng, thank you, although grandma planned to starve us to death a month ago, but with the help of the whole village, we have been able to eat enough this month. Thank you brother for the buns. ”

Shen Zisheng didn't know why his heart suddenly became warm when he heard her call her brother, and he wanted to listen to it a few more times.

When the people in the car heard Xiao Xia say that their grandmother planned to starve them to death a month ago, they remembered the joke of the Shen family that day, and looked at Shen Hui's eyes with disgust.

Shen Hui didn't pay attention to that, she was angry when she heard Xiao Xia call Shen Zisheng's brother, and when she saw that Shen Zisheng didn't object, she looked even more angry. yelled loudly: "Brother is also called by you?" ”

This voice made everyone on the street stop and look at her, but she didn't know it.

"I'm sorry, I should have called uncle." As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and lowered his head.

"It's good to know, don't go out in the future, people think you don't have a tutor." Shen Hui felt very unsightly when she saw Xiao Xia's playful and cute appearance, and decided never to let this girl go out in the future.

"It doesn't matter what it's called, we're not even distant relatives. I bought this bun for you, eat it while it's hot! Shen Zisheng felt that it was not pleasing to call his uncle, or it was better to call his brother.
