Chapter 150: In this world, there are too many things owed to the Ninth Master
These three conditions, just looking at each of them seems to be nothing. Although it is inevitable that people will feel that the doctor surnamed Bai is a bit domineering, considering Dr. Bai's ability and fame, this request is also reasonable. In these years, anyone who has real skills will more or less have some 'small problems'.
But when these three conditions appear at the same time, it can be said that it is quite harsh. There are very few people who can do it.
First, pay for the exaggerated and high consultation fee. There's not much to say about this, and it doesn't cost money to see a doctor. A contemporary famous doctor like Dr. Bai is not too expensive. After all, Dr. Bai is the one who can give you a life-saving life!
In order to live, no matter how much money you spend, it is not spending.
Second, it is not enough to be able to afford the consultation fee, but also to be useful to the fifth master. This is also easy to understand. Although Dr. Bai has a reputation as a miracle doctor, he himself is a very cold and ruthless character. In his bones, he really doesn't have much feeling for life and death. No matter how pitiful and sympathetic the person is, in the eyes of Dr. Bai, there will still be no emotion. He often said that people are going to die. What does it matter if you die a little earlier or later?
Therefore, the people who go to Dr. Bai for medical treatment can't even see Dr. Bai, and they will be blown away. All the patients who will become Dr. Bai's patients are actually patients selected by Fifth Master Quan for him. If it is useful to the fifth master, the fifth master will order Dr. Bai to save people and treat the disease.
Thirdly, it doesn't matter how serious the illness is, whether it's cancer or near death. As a principle, the patient has to go to the door to find Dr. Bai before he will accept the treatment. If Dr. Bai is allowed to come to the door, then Dr. Bai will not care about this patient.
Because Doctor Bai is a person who will never leave the castle of the fifth master. When this castle was built, Dr. Bai stayed in it for many years, and never left it during this period. If you want Dr. Bai to come to the clinic, this is something you don't even think about. There is simply no possibility.
As a result, Dr. Bai not only agreed to continue to help Jiu Ye see a doctor, but also decided to visit the doctor in person?!
Butler Liu was so surprised that he forgot to send the fifth master away. It wasn't until Fifth Master Quan's back had disappeared in the Ming Mansion that he closed his eyes in disbelief, showing a little sign of coming back to his senses.
"Ninth Master, what about Fifth Master?"
When Steward Liu came back to his senses, where was the shadow of the Fifth Master in the living room?
Ming Huaijiu leaned weakly on the arms of Butler Liu, and said angrily, "The five masters have all gone away." I told you to send him off, but you couldn't even hear my voice. β
He had a very uncomfortable throat and wanted to ask Butler Liu to help him get a glass of water, but he didn't hear it.
But this can't be blamed on Steward Liu, because Ming Huaijiu's voice is too small. The small ones are worse than the buzzing sound of mosquitoes.
If it weren't for the fact that Steward Liu has been by Ming Huaijiu's side since he was a child, what Ming Huaijiu says now, it is estimated that Steward Liu would not have heard it very clearly. Just like a babbling milk doll, milk doll speaks, and it is difficult for strangers to understand. But mom and dad can understand. With this is a truth.
Ming Huaijiu is not in good health, and he can't do without people around him. But Ming Huaijiu is also a quiet person, and he hates strangers at home even more. It is rumored by the outside world that this is because Ming Jiuye's personality is also arrogant, his appearance when he is sick is very terrifying, and he doesn't want to show others his terrible and desolate appearance. So he didn't even want a servant at home. Only Butler Liu was left alone.
In this huge Ming Mansion, in addition to Steward Liu, there are only a few necessary nurses and doctors left.
Butler Liu pulled a pillow and put it behind Ming Huaijiu's back, "Ninth Master, then you sit here for a while, and I'll pour water for you." β
Ming Huaijiu shook his head weakly and gently, he even made such a small action as lifting his eyelids.
"It's rare that the fifth master of Quan is willing to let go, help me go to bask in the sun......"
Always confined to the bedroom, not even in the sun, even if he is a healthy person, he should be suffocated, right?
Looking at Ming Huaijiu, who was sitting on the sofa with a thick blanket on his body, Steward Liu felt an indescribable sour feeling in his heart.
The Ninth Master ...... He is such a big man of more than 1.8 meters, sitting on the sofa, just a small group. It's just skin wrapped in bones, and there is not even a little flesh on it.
He looked at it, how could he not be sour?
Just a few months ago, when he first returned to the capital, Jiu Ye still looked like a normal man, although he was a little thin.
Right now......
Even if he didn't look at Grand Steward Liu's expression, Ming Huaijiu could read Grand Steward Liu's thoughts from the fluctuations in the air.
Ming Huaijiu tugged at the corners of his mouth, pulling out a weak, but indifferent smile.
This smile, as if he has looked down on the world. It's just that the corners of his mouth are slightly curled, but it seems to reveal a certain unwillingness in his heart.
"What is there to be sour for me, isn't it already normal?"
The weak Ming Huaijiu had to rest for a long day even after finishing a whole sentence.
"After all these years, you haven't gotten used to it."
He's used to it.
Steward Liu pressed down all the sourness and closed his eyes fiercely, "Ninth Master, since Doctor Bai is willing to make a move, it means that he must be somewhat sure." Otherwise, even if it was the order of Fifth Master Quan, the white doctor would not let go. You...... Just rest assured! β
"For Dr. Bai, I have always been very relieved."
Resisting the discomfort of wanting to cough, Ming Huaijiu's pale face gradually became a little bloody.
Butler Liu couldn't bear to see him like this again, he turned his head slightly, an old man with gray hair picked up a man who was more than one meter tall and eight meters tall, it was so easy. It's like holding a small child, and it seems effortless.
It is conceivable how weak Ming Huaijiu's body is now.
Helping Ming Huaijiu to the wheelchair, Butler Liu pushed him to the kitchen, made him a cup of ginseng tea, and then pushed Ming Huaijiu to the steps of the vestibule.
With a thick blanket on his legs and a cup of steaming ginseng tea in his hand, Ming Huaijiu was sitting in a wheelchair, facing the sun, his face was pale and bloodless, and his lips were also purple. But his expression was so peaceful and quiet. On Ming Huaijiu's face, it is difficult for you to find the slightest trace of anger and gloom.
The sharp anger and difficulty in getting along with patients who have been ill for a long time have never been seen in Ming Huaijiu's body.
He just sat there peacefully, with his eyes closed and basking in the sun. The corners of the mouth even hang a shallow curvature.
It seemed that he would be able to live one more day, and he would feel satisfied that he would be able to live like this, even if he lived like this, and there was no such life as a human dignity.
Butler Liu sat on the steps next to the wheelchair, quietly accompanying Ming Huaijiu.
They...... Let's just be a grandfather. The two of them, for so many years, have always relied on each other like this.
Jiu Ye likes to be quiet, he is an old man, and he can't toss if he wants to.
But if you think about it carefully, the ninth master is so young and old, how can it have nothing to do with his illness?
In the memory of Steward Liu, Ming Huaijiu has never had the vitality that belongs to teenagers and young people.
He was always sitting there sickly, either reading a book, or in a daze, and more often looking at the sun outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Butler Liu suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart.
Why!
Why was the Ninth Master born to suffer these sufferings? Why can't the Ninth Master live like a normal person? Why...... The Ninth Master even ran recklessly once, and God refused to fulfill him?
This world owes Xiao Jiu'er too much, too much......
"Uncle Liu......"
"Huh?" Butler Liu wiped his eyes with his sleeve indiscriminately, and leaned over with concern, "Ninth Master? β
Ming Huaijiu slowly opened his very beautiful, but no brilliance eyes, "Butler Liu." β
The title was quietly changed back again.
"When did you say the sky in the capital would be clear?"
Butler Liu also raised his head and looked at the sky, which was foggy and gray.
The sun was also blocked behind the layers of haze, faintly emitting its light.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm like the sun behind this gray."
"Hmm. How so? β
"No matter how much smog is in front of me, I won't give up...... Ahem, ahemβ"
"Ninth Master, stop talking." Butler Liu hurriedly helped him smooth his back, "The air outside is not good, I'd better help you back to the bedroom to rest." β
Ming Huaijiu, who has always been very obedient in this regard, shook his head stubbornly this time.
He...... He didn't know how many times he would see the sun, and he didn't want to waste a second.
For others, it is the sky that can be seen as soon as you look up, but for him, it is less than once you look at it.
It's like running, it's just such an ordinary thing for others, but for him, it's so out of reach.
He didn't have much time left, at least the sky, the sun, let him take a few more looks.
The relationship between Steward Liu and Ming Huaijiu is that they don't need to say anything anymore, they will understand each other's meaning.
Sighing lightly, Steward Liu just turned around and went back to get another cloak for Ming Huaijiu, draped it on his shoulders, and then continued to accompany him to bask in the sun.
One old and one young, just sat there quietly and harmoniously.
It looks like a skillfully composed landscape painting.
I don't know how long it has been, Ming Huaijiu has tilted his head and sat in a wheelchair as if he was asleep, and Butler Liu lightly planned to push him back to the bedroom.
"Steward Liu."
Continuing to push the wheelchair towards the Ming Mansion, Butler Liu said 'um', "Ninth Master, you command." β
"Help me pay attention, the fifth master took the initiative to come to the Ming Mansion today, and he definitely didn't just want to tell me the news that Dr. Bai decided to make another move. He must have had something else in mind. β
"Got it. The ninth master rest assured. β
"Also, don't hide anything from me if there's something out there. You should know my character, you let me know, I'm just a brainstorm, if you hide it from me, I still have to worry, and I will be cranky. It's better to tell me just about something. I'm weak, but I'm still conscious. β
"Ninth Master......" Butler Liu shook his eyelids, and before he could think of how to explain, Ming Huaijiu had already spoken again.
"If you don't tell me about the things in the factory, I won't know, right?" Ming Huaijiu didn't mean to blame Steward Liu, he just shook his head gently, "That is the fifth master of Quan, he has already set his sights on my family's factory, how can I not know any news at all." Next time, you don't want that. β
knew that Butler Liu was thinking about his body and didn't want him to think too much. But that ...... After all, it's not someone else, it's the fifth master of Quan!
He can't afford to take it lightly.
"Over at the factory, you go and clean it up. Don't let the fifth master of Quan worry. β
"Yes, Ninth Master."
"Whatever Fifth Master Quan wants, you give him something."
"Understood."
"If we want to gain a foothold in the capital, we have to rely on the fifth master Quan."
"Ninth Master...... Stop talking, your face ...... Please, get some sleep. Well? Don't let Uncle Liu worry about you anymore. β
"Do I have a bad face? Scold...... Uncle Liu, you're making a fuss again, when is my face good, good......"
"Ninth Master !!"
