Chapter 14: The Temple Massacre
Su Yijin was startled, escaped from the crowd with difficulty, saw Zixu sitting in the center of the temple, and hurriedly asked, "Zixu, what is going on?" ”
When Zixu saw Su Yijin, he said excitedly: "Boss, where have you been?" We searched for you everywhere, but we didn't hear from you. ”
"Am I not back?" Su Yijin patted his head, "What's going on?" Why are so many people here? Why do you kneel down when you see me? ”
Zixu touched the back of his head and smiled: "Boss, you are famous." Xiao Wu's father is really as you said, sobered up, and now he can still help the family. As soon as the common people heard that you had healed him, they all said that you were a fairy descending to earth, the Bodhisattva was reincarnated, and Hua Tuo was reborn. ”
Su Yijin touched her head wistfully after hearing this, she would rather not have such praise, she just wanted to live a low-key life, if she attracted people from the Su family because of this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
So she stood up and shouted at the bustling people, "Everyone, be quiet, please listen to me." ”
Sure enough, with her bright voice, everyone suddenly fell silent.
"Everybody get up. The man has gold under his knees, and I can't afford to kneel on your knees. ”
But no one got up, and one of the elders said, "Girl, if you don't agree to us, we won't be able to kneel for a long time." ”
God, is this begging her for help, or is it threatening her to help? Su Yijin was angry in her heart and said, "If you don't get up, I'll leave." He made a gesture of leaving.
Hmph, threat, who wouldn't?
Zixu had already seen her intentions, so he accompanied her to act, and immediately stopped her and said, "Boss, don't go," and then looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and said, "You still don't get up?" Do you really want to force our boss away to be willing? ”
The common people stood up reluctantly, and it was still the old man who said: "Girl, please save my child, because of his illness, he can't marry a daughter-in-law, and he can't inherit the lineage of our Zhou family, I am ashamed of my ancestors." ”
Su Yijin sighed and waved her hand: "Uncle, you listen to me first." I'm not a living bodhisattva, I can't cure madness, and Xiao Wu's father wasn't cured by me, it's just a misunderstanding, everyone is about to disperse. ”
Zi glanced at her in confusion, obviously she was a skilled doctor, why should she deny it? However, he didn't plan to ask more, but just helped her say to the crowd around her: "Everyone disperse, we are just a beggar, we don't know how to heal, let's find another master." ”
The people were all shaken after hearing this, and they were going to leave, but the old man surnamed Zhou stubbornly said: "The girl can save Xiao Wu's father, why don't you want to save my son?" I already know it well, Xiao Wu's father was cured by the girl, I am ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors, it is better to die. After saying that, he slammed his head into the wall of the ruined temple.
said that it was too late, but fortunately, Zixu reacted quickly and stood in front of him, preventing a tragedy from happening.
And Su Yijin instantly felt tragic, but she just didn't want to cause trouble, why did she almost cause a bloody case?
Looking at Zhou Laoweng who was squatting on the ground and crying bitterly, Su Yijin was forced to be helpless, so she had to say: "Okay, uncle, I promise you to go and see your son, but I can't guarantee whether it can be cured or not." ”
Old Man Zhou burst into tears and smiled, nodded again and again, his wrinkled old face smiled, and finally his grandson was hopeful.
When the rest of the people heard that Su Yijin could save Zhou Laoweng's crazy son, they immediately rushed over and asked Su Yijin to save their family.
Zixu commanded the brothers of the beggar gang to stop the crowd, and Su Yijin said to everyone: "Don't worry, come one by one, I promise you that you will try your best to save everyone's family." Then he looked at Zixu: "Can you write?" ”
Zixu nodded, not knowing what she meant.
"Register the families of those who need medical treatment on a piece of paper and learn more about the family's financial situation." Su Yijin glanced at Chaozi, she is a doctor, a doctor who has become a beggar, she can't treat all of them for free, although the drugs are extracted from the smart bag, but it is natural to earn some living expenses. Therefore, she asked Zixu to record the economic situation of each family in detail, and the poor can be free of charge, and those who are financially comfortable can appropriately collect medical fees, which is reasonable and legal.
After two weeks of busyness, I finally went door-to-door to see all the "crazy" patients, according to modern diagnosis, it is "schizophrenia", and the patients who sought treatment are basically male patients, mainly young and middle-aged, just when Su Yijin felt surprised, I later learned that many daughters of ordinary people who have "madness" are either beaten to death by their families, or married far away to poor areas, or sold to low-cost kilns. In this era, men are inferior to women, and even being sick is treated differently.
Because "crazy patients" often cause trouble on the streets, scolding and beating people, the yamen also turns a blind eye to the private treatment of such patients at home, and as long as they do not cause them trouble, they are happy to see such patients disappear.
Faced with this situation, Su Yijin was both helpless and angry, if one day, she had money and power, she must build a psychiatric hospital in this strange dynasty to treat these "crazy women" who were tragically abandoned.
After being busy for two weeks and earning only ten taels of silver, Su Yijin lay tired in the grass of the broken temple, and glanced at the "Mr. Settler" beside him: "Divide all this money among the brothers, the brothers have worked hard to help restrain those patients during this time." ”
Zixu glanced at the list on the paper and said, "Boss, this batch is over, and now there is another batch of people, and they will also let you go for treatment, as well as the son of the boss of the King of the Splendid Pavilion, the younger brother of the shopkeeper of Wufu Lou Ning...... Now your fame is getting bigger and bigger, and many people are coming here. ”
Su Yijin patted her headache on her head, the last thing she wants now is fame, she originally wanted to live in this dynasty in style, but she never thought that everything was led by the nose, she didn't like this feeling, and she hated this feeling even more
"Zixu, if I leave this place, will you leave the capital with me?"
Zixu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Su Yijin to ask this question, thought about it, and said: "Boss, wherever you go, I will follow you, anyway, I have nothing to worry about, and there is no place for me to be nostalgic in this capital." ”
"That's what you said." Su Yijin patted her thigh, she wanted to leave this place before her identity was revealed, with her medical skills, she could survive anywhere, "Go, take the brothers, let's leave now." ”
"Now?" That's too much of a rush, isn't it? Zixu was completely unprepared, "Boss, the brothers still have families to take care of, and they may not be able to join us." ”
"Then the two of us." Su Yijin immediately stood up, wanting to pack some clothes, but found that there was nothing to pack.
Zixu just wanted to stop her, how could she give an explanation to her brothers before leaving, but at this time, a group of people in gorgeous clothes and brocade clothes walked towards the broken temple violently, and the white-bearded old man led by him stared at Su Yijin deadly, and raised his head in disdain.
A young man beside him said, "Master, she is Lin Yishu." ”
Su Yijin and Zixu glanced at each other blankly, could it be that these people also came to her for treatment? But this posture is obviously not good.
The white-bearded old man proudly leaned his hands behind his back, squinted at Su Yijin, and asked, "Will you cure the 'madness'?" ”
Su Yijin was very uncomfortable by him, and said, "I didn't say this." ”
"Presumptuous, dare to be so unreasonable to my master, do you know who my master is?" The young man who had just spoken angrily rebuked her.
"If you don't say, how will I know?" I really like to play tricks.
"You ......," the young man said proudly, "My master is Li Fangsheng, a famous doctor in the capital, and Li Fangjun, the head of the Gongzhong Hospital, is my master's younger brother." ”
"Hehe," Su Yijin sneered, "My brother is not as good as my younger brother, and he dares to be so public, and I am also convinced." ”
knew from the beginning that they were deliberately here to find fault, so Su Yijin was naturally not polite to them.
"You ......" The young man's face flushed, and he hurriedly looked at his master.
Although Li Fangsheng was also angry enough, he still pretended to be demeanor and glared at his apprentice: "It's really useless, stand obediently in the back." ”
Su Yijin sat down in her thatched pile again, looking at their group coldly, not knowing what tricks they wanted to do.
"Today, I brought all the famous doctors in the capital over, just to want to know, why can you, a little beggar, cure a disease that we can't cure?" Li Fangsheng's eyes never left Su Yijin, and he always felt that this woman seemed to be a little familiar.
"My lord's praise," Su Yijin smiled faintly, "You have so many diseases that can't be cured by divine doctors, how can my little beggar be cured?" Everything is just misinformation among the people, and everyone must not listen to rumors. ”
"Rumors?" Li Fangsheng's young apprentice said again at the master's behest, "Lin Yishu, don't leave everything clean, many of the patients you have treated are no longer crazy, I'm afraid this is not a rumor, right?" ”
Su Yijin clapped her palms: "Thank you for your affirmation of my medical skills, I can promote myself again in the future, my medical skills are affirmed by Li Fangsheng's apprentices, and there must be many patients looking for me." ”
"You ......" The young apprentice couldn't say anything to Su Yijin every time, and gritted his teeth angrily.
Li Fangsheng was not as calm as his apprentice, and said calmly: "Since you admit that those patients were treated by you, how did your medicine come from?" ”
Su Yijin didn't understand what he wanted to express, but he unconsciously began to panic in his heart.
"This is a medical secret, Mr. Li's skills are not as good as others, do you still want to learn my medical skills now?"
Li Fangsheng was cold-blooded all his life, took out a pill from his apprentice's hand, and said with words: "This is the pill you gave to the patient, we have checked, and many of the ingredients in it are not produced here at all, and there is no record in even the medical book, saying, who are you?" ”
Damn, it turns out that they came prepared, of course you can't find out the medicine after a few hundred years, Su Yijin forced her calm, and said proudly: "You can't find out, you can only say that you have no ability, what do you have to do with me?" ”
Li Fangsheng saw that the time had come, and said coldly: "Come on, arrest this demon girl for me." ”
A group of strong men with swords immediately stepped forward, and Zixu and his beggar brothers immediately surrounded Su Yijin in the center, and the two sides were tense with a posture of imminent war.
"You beggars are not harmed by this demon girl, she can cure diseases that ordinary people can't cure, and there are medicines that the world can't produce, obviously she is an outlier, it must be the kraken that disappeared three hundred years ago to make trouble again, what are you still doing to protect her?"
When everyone heard that Su Yijin was the incarnation of a kraken, they hesitated, panicked, and looked at Zixu one after another.
Zixu's eyes were resolute, and he firmly protected Su Yijin behind him and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, how can the boss be a kraken?" It's just nonsense. ”
Su Yijin looked at Zixu's back gratefully with tears in her eyes, but she didn't expect that at this time, there were still people who could believe in her and protect her.
When the beggar brothers heard Zixu say this, they immediately regained their high-spirited momentum and confronted each other cautiously.
Seeing that the beggars were so persistent, Li Fangsheng's fierce eyes flashed, and he turned around and took a step back.
The strong men with swords and the unarmed beggars fought together, and soon, the battle was obvious, the beggars suffered heavy casualties, Su Yijin couldn't watch the brothers die for themselves, and immediately shouted: "Stop me, I'll go with you." ”
