The water in the porcelain basin was cool and cool, but there was no cold, Huo Roufeng's swollen and painful ankles were soaked in water, and he didn't feel anything at first, but it was only a moment, and the original pain gradually dissipated, and even the red and swollen places were also swollen.

Huo Roufeng took the cloth towel handed by Uncle Wang, wiped the water droplets from her feet, put on her shoes and socks again, got up and respectfully saluted the young man: "Thank you for your son's help." ”

The young man was still smiling lightly, but his eyes did not look at her, but he said to Wang Bo: "White porcelain bottle, two coins, bring it to him." ”

Uncle Wang responded, poured out some medicinal powder from the white porcelain bottle, wrapped it carefully in paper, and handed it to Huo Roufeng: "The medicine that Gongzi gave you just now can only relieve the pain for a while, you can use this medicine to soak it twice more when you go back, and you will ensure that it is okay." ”

Huo Roufeng took the medicine, took out a golden bean from the small purse he carried, and said to Wang Bo: "This is the diagnosis gold." ”

Uncle Wang was a little stunned, then looked at the young man, and saw that the young man was reading again, so he motioned for Huo Roufeng to go out.

Huo Roufeng turned around and looked at the young man again, the young man in the light seemed to have a flow of light around him. Huo Roufeng remembered the white jade Guanyin in the Buddhist hall at home, which was peerless and unstained with a trace of vulgar dust.

After leaving the cabin, Huo Roufeng asked to pay the consultation fee again, and Wang Bo lowered his voice and said: "Although my son-in-law is good at medical skills, he is not a doctor who hangs the pot to help the world. ”

A golden bean can buy several acres of good paddy fields in the countryside.

Huo Roufeng felt that she was really vulgar, but there was no way, who let her only have golden beans on her.

She said to Wang Bo very seriously: "My father said that he can't owe any money for medicine, if he knows that I don't pay for medical treatment, he will definitely beat me." If Ling Gongzi doesn't want this money, just use it for good deeds, in short, I won't take it back. ”

Of course, the second master Huo under Jiuquan did not say anything like not to owe money for medicine, but the Huo family is a merchant, and since childhood, his father and sister have said that if you can settle things with silver, you don't owe favors.

Uncle Wang was about to excuse himself, and a Qingyue voice sounded in the cabin: "Take it." ”

Huo Roufeng raised her eyebrows, took the opportunity to stuff the golden beans into Wang Bo's hands, climbed the ladder with her hands and feet, and stood on the embankment.

There was no longer a crowd of people on the road, and the men in strong suits holding lanterns in twos and threes seemed to be patrolling, and when they saw Huo Roufeng coming over, a man stepped forward and asked, "Whose child?" Why are you here on the big night? ”

Huo Roufeng heard that his tone was not good, and hurriedly made a pitiful appearance: "My brothers took me to visit the flower boat, there were many people just now, and I was separated from them." ”

She was just a child, and the man didn't doubt it, but just scolded: "Hurry up, this is not where you came." ”

Huo Roufeng agreed, and she ran away, until she ran more than half a mile, she felt a faint pain in her ankle, and secretly said that Uncle Wang was right, her feet were indeed not good.

She looked around to see if there was a mule cart with legs, and saw Zhang Shengping and Huang Ling running over panting.

"Ninth Master, where have you been, I can be regarded as finding you!"

Huo Roufeng saw that the two of them were sweating and anxious, and suddenly didn't want to tell them about the encounter with the teenager, she sighed and wailed: "My foot is broken, it hurts, I can't walk, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ”

Zhang Shengping and Huang Ling didn't care about asking anything else, and they went to find the hospital when they carried her.

Huo Roufeng hurriedly said: "I don't want to see the doctor, I don't want to see the doctor, Cai Qin has prepared medicine for me, just go back to the inn and use it." ”

Zhang Shengping and Huang Ling were suspicious, but they didn't dare to forcibly take the Ninth Master to the hospital, in case the Ninth Master cried, they couldn't coax it.

The two hired a car and accompanied Huo Roufeng back to the inn.

The next day, Huo Roufeng's foot injury had healed most of the time, but no one dared to let her out, she lay in the inn for a whole day.

But Huo San didn't have this leisure, Chang Sheng searched for most of the day, and only found a few carriages, and the Lifu who were still there when he unloaded the ship yesterday was not seen today, and it is said that they all went to unload military rations for Ningbo Wei.

There is no one to move goods, even if you can hire a carriage.

Chang Sheng was anxious and his mouth was full of bubbles, Huo San was also annoying, last night he went to the flower boat to have fun, but he was blasted out before he could do anything, his heart was on fire, he didn't sleep well all night, and when he got up in the morning, he heard Chang Sheng complaining to him, and he couldn't wait to beat Chang Sheng.

But Chang Sheng is a celebrity next to his father, and he can support but he can't beat and scold.

Helpless, he had no choice but to go to the street with Chang Sheng to see if there were any casual workers.

But for some reason, yesterday the bustling downtown is closed today, and even the beggars on the street can't be seen.

Huo San was curious, and asked Chang Sheng to inquire, and after a while, Chang Sheng came back: "Third master, it was not easy for the little one to knock on the grocery store on the corner, and the people in the shop said that the Taiping Society gave an order not to let them open the door to do business." ”

When he was invited down from the flower boat yesterday, Huo San had already heard of the name of the Taiping Society, but he never expected that it was not only the flower boat that was not allowed to do business, but even the shops on the street were closed.

"The Taiping Society won't let them do business, so they won't open the door?" Huo San asked, could it be that in Ningbo, this Taiping Society is even more powerful than the Chamber of Commerce in Hangzhou?

Chang Sheng nodded: "As long as you join the shops of the Taiping Society, they will not open at all, and occasionally those who have not joined the club can still open the door." ”

"The beggars on the street are also from the Taiping Society?" Huo San asked again.

Chang Sheng said: "I heard from the people in the shop that there are many people who join the Taiping Society, such as farming in the countryside, fishing on the beach, doing business in the city, and maybe the beggars have also joined the club." ”

Huo San thought about it, too, the beggars in Hangzhou also seem to have gangs.

He felt very unlucky, and he didn't know what kind of wind this Taiping would be pumping, the market would not close sooner or later, but when he was going to ship goods, he would order the market to close.

Chang Sheng said again: "Although the people on the dock also have joined the club, but after all, it is the territory of the Cao Gang, let's go to the dock and have a look." ”

The master and servant had to go back to the docks, but only a few old men were found, and the young and strong ones were all called to carry the military rations.

Huo San was helpless, and said to Chang Sheng: "Then wait another day, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and went back to the inn.

Chang Sheng looked at his back, so angry that he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the old man he hired to look at the goods came over and said, "Shopkeeper, your goods don't taste right." ”

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
