Chapter 145: Wounded Soldiers
Mu Jiu reflexively looked down, only to see a ragged old woman holding her trouser legs, pitifully begging, "Kind young lady, please give me a bite to eat." ”
Mu Jiu thought to himself, didn't everyone who asked for food be at the door of the restaurant, how could he come to the door of the silk shop.
But seeing that the old woman's breath was very weak, she gave birth to sympathy, took out ten copper plates, and prepared to put them in the old woman's broken bowl.
The old woman shook her head, "Please Miss buy me a bun." ”
Rose was sensible and stood in front of Mu Jiu vigilantly, but she had no intention of driving away the old woman.
Only then did Mu Jiu notice that there was a steamed bun shop not far in front of the silk shop.
"Wait a minute." Mu Jiu squeezed over, bought five buns and folded them back, and put them in the old woman's hand together with the lotus leaves wrapped in the buns, "You slow down." ”
The old woman was so excited that she burst into tears, "Thank you, kind young lady, you will definitely be blessed in the future!" ”
Mu Jiu was noncommittal, and no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.
After the old woman finished speaking, she kowtowed to Mu Jiu and turned around, but she limped in another direction with difficulty.
Mu Jiu paid a little attention and found that the old woman's feet were new, wasn't she beaten when she was begging?
Mu Jiuyu couldn't bear it, and walked over to support the old woman, "Mother-in-law, where are you going, I'll send you over." ”
The old woman was surprised, and subconsciously retracted her hand, "Miss, don't get your clothes dirty, I'll just walk over slowly." ”
Mu Jiu insisted on holding her, "It's okay, old woman, it's fate that we meet, don't you just happen to know a little bit of medical skills, I'll send you back, and by the way, I'll show you a leg injury." ”
The old woman choked with excitement, "Miss! You're a good guy! No one has ever looked up to my wife so much! ”
"Mother-in-law, don't say that." Mu Jiu was a little embarrassed.
As she herself said, seeing each other is fate, she has not met so many beggars on the street, let alone can manage them all, but the old woman grabbed her, and she couldn't sit idly by.
At least the old woman had to heal her leg injury.
After Mu Jiu made up his mind to go back, he began to make pills and medicinal wine for bruises and swellings, treating both internal and external treatments.
"Miss, you will be a good person and have a good reward!" The old woman wiped away a handful of tears, "My wife has no place to live, so good people don't drive her away, and she lives in a sheltered place outside the wall over there." ”
Mu Jiu didn't dare to take someone home casually, so he thought of temporarily placing the old woman in a specialty store, "Mother-in-law can go to my house for a few days?" ”
The old woman was surprised, but refused, "Thank you Miss for your kindness, I have a son at home, and I have to take care of him." ”
Mu Jiu was even more surprised, having a son can make his mother fall like this, it can be seen that he is unfilial, or the old woman has done something hateful, just like Mrs. Mu, poor people must have something to hate.
Mu Jiu's brain was supplemented, and the old woman explained, "My son has been paralyzed for a long time, and I can't leave her alone." ”
Mu Jiu is a good person to the end, and he will take care of it, "The old woman will take me to see, maybe I can help something." ”
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she was very happy, "Thank you, girl!" That's great! ”
Because I was in a hurry to move forward, I almost fell.
Lin Changsheng held the cloth on his shoulders with one hand, stepped forward with an arrow, and supported the old woman with the other, "Mother-in-law, pay attention." ”
The group walked slowly to the corner that the old woman had said.
As she walked, the old woman explained, "My son used to be a small soldier guarding the border, he was seriously injured in a battle, and when he came back, he could barely stand up, and then he couldn't get up because he didn't have money for treatment. ”
As he spoke, he kept wiping his tears.
Mu Jiu was suddenly angry, "Isn't there a military doctor in the barracks who treats wounded soldiers for free?" After that, I made sure that I couldn't go to the battlefield again before I was discharged and went home. ”
The old woman just wiped her tears, "I heard that there was no money in the barracks, and the military doctor couldn't come up with medicine to treat it, so he sent people back." ”
"And where did your son go before he was a soldier?"
"I don't know, I heard that it was far away, and the court sent my son back with a little travel expenses!"
Mu Jiu and Lin Changsheng glanced at each other, and they had thoughts in their hearts at the same time.
The place that the old woman was talking about was a gap between two large houses, the place was small, but it was really sheltered from the wind, and a pile of grass was spread on the ground, even if it was a place to live.
His son was wrapped in a pile of tattered clothes, and his face was as thin as a dead wood without life, and he could not find a little life to live.
Only by the slight pulsation of his neck could be seen that he was still alive.
"Zihao! We've met great people! The old woman was so excited that she dragged her injured leg and quickened her pace.
Her son didn't have any mood swings at all, and said weakly, "Mother, don't toss, let me go, you will live better alone." ”
The old woman wiped her tears, "Zihao, you are my mother's life, if you leave, how will my mother live!" Why do you say these discouraged words, we didn't do anything hurtful, we will always meet good people with good luck, this girl is a doctor, you let her see first, maybe she can cure you, you can stand up in the future, like a normal person, my mother still points to you to provide for me! ”
The old woman babbled a lot, but her son was indifferent, and he didn't even look at Mu Jiu, it is estimated that if he hadn't been unable to move, he would have chosen to commit suicide a long time ago.
The old woman wiped her tears, "I'm sorry girl, my son is ...... He wasn't like this before, he's afraid of dragging me down! His name is Wu Zihao, which is the name his father gave him, and everyone he knew before called me Wu Po. ”
Mu Jiu can understand, "My surname is Mu." ”
After speaking, he stepped forward and lifted those dirty old clothes, touched the wrist of the old woman and son, and carefully diagnosed.
"I'm ......" Wu Po was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, "Girl, wait, I'll clean it up first, it's too messy here......"
"It's fine." Mu Jiu had seen a dirtier environment than here, and he had seen patients who were even more smelly than Wu Zihao, but he could bear it.
Wu Zihao was even more embarrassed than Wu Po because Mu Jiu lifted his clothes.
"I ......"
"Don't move, I'll look at your wounds."
Lin Changsheng suddenly threw the cloth on the ground, ran over and squatted in front of Mu Jiu, and held Mu Jiu's hand, "I'll come." ”
Mu Jiu gave him a blank look, "You know how to treat?" ”
Lin Changsheng stubbornly blocked Mu Jiu's eyes, "I'll help you see the condition of the wound, you can prescribe medicine." ”
Mu Jiu, "......"
Can that be the same!
Push Lin Changsheng away, "Don't make trouble." ”
"You can't look at other men." Lin Changsheng insisted on standing in front of Mu Jiu.
Mu Jiu's expression instantly turned cold, and he stared at Lin Changsheng in a very serious tone and said, "Lin Changsheng, I am a doctor, there are no men or women in the doctor's eyes, it is my duty to carefully inspect his wounds, you can leave if you are not used to it." ”
Lin Changsheng was stunned for a moment, his eyes were scarlet, as if he had struggled violently, and finally walked behind Mu Jiu without saying a word.
Only then did Mu Jiu roll up Wu Zihao's clothes, revealing a black scar.
"You still have a wound on your thigh?" Mu Jiu asked.
Wu Zihao glanced at Mu Jiu incredulously, and then a light seemed to flash in his lifeless eyes, "Can Doctor Mu see it?" ”
Otherwise, why do you diagnose the pulse first, Mu Jiu rolled his eyes, "Do you take it off yourself or will I help you take it off?" ”
Lin Changsheng clenched his fists and turned around, slamming his fist the wall behind him, he used all his strength to not smash on Wu Zihao!
If you take off your pants, wouldn't you be looking at it!
Wu Zihao pulled down his pants with difficulty, revealing a six-inch-long wound that had suppurated and emitted a foul smell.
The wound in winter is not easy to heal, but it is not easy to suppurate, Mu Jiu knew it in his heart, and instructed Lin Changsheng, "Put his pants on and carry him back to the inn." ”
Inn?
Wu Po hurriedly waved her hand, "I can't help it!" Can't spend so much money on Miss! ”
Mu Jiu automatically picked up the cloth on the ground and walked out first, "Rose, you put the cloth on my shoulder and help the old woman back." ”
She is like a leader who gives orders, orders are given, and Rose obediently obeys them.
Lin Changsheng glanced at Mu Jiu resentfully, "Jiu'er, if you don't bully me like this, you have to give me a little benefit." ”
Mu Jiu turned his head and raised his eyebrows slantedly, "What benefits do you want?" ”
"Don't chase me again."
Mu Jiu took a deep breath, "Then you go, I'll let Pang San come over later." ”
"No, no, no, I'll hug it!" Lin Changchang wrapped his arms around, picked up the fluttering Wu Zihao, and followed.
Back at the inn, Laifu was taken aback, and wanted to say where the beggar came from so stinky, but seeing that Mu Jiu's face was not very good, he still held back and asked the shopkeeper to heat his hands.
Mu Jiu bowed slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the trouble, but I'll deal with it quickly, and ask the little second brother to help boil some hot water." ”
Laifu was embarrassed, "It's okay, it's okay, I've already asked Xiao'er to boil water, girl, this is ......"
"He was a small soldier guarding the border, and he came back from a serious injury and had no money for treatment, so it became like this, and I happened to be able to cure him, so I brought it back."
When Laifu heard that it was a soldier guarding the border, he was in awe, thought for a while, and said, "In the future, the girl will often come to Qizhou, why not buy a courtyard." ”
Mu Jiuzheng had this intention, but thinking that the store had only opened, and he didn't have too much energy, so he had to put it aside for the time being. ”
Laifu smiled, "Don't say anything else, the news of my Laifu is the fastest in Qizhou City, there is a good yard in the alley behind your store, although you can't do a store, but it's very convenient to live there, but the price is a bit expensive." ”
Mu Jiu, "I thought about it and went up first." ”
The upper room was gone, and Mu Jiu asked for two middle rooms to settle the people.
Lin Changsheng knew Mu Jiu's character, so he didn't say much, took the initiative to carry water, and helped Wu Zihao take a bath.
Mu Jiu asked Rose to go to the ready-to-wear store to buy two sets of men's clothes and two sets of old people's clothes, and changed them for the mother and son.
The mother and son who changed into new clothes no longer have a sour smell, look younger than ten years old, and their spirits are much better.
