Chapter Twenty-Five: Healing
The old doctor took the burden handed over by Xiaobao and looked at it, which was basically some broken silver and copper plates, and the whole piece of silver was almost non-existent, and the copper plates accounted for most of the broken silver, and the copper plates were all threaded with ropes. In total, it looks like less than twenty or thirty taels, which is really not enough money for him to say. He also knew that they had no money, but it was true that he would spend a lot of money like this, and ordinary medicinal herbs were basically useless.
Looking at Xiaobao's expectant eyes, the old doctor still said to him: "Child, grandpa doesn't lie to you, your father's situation is very serious, and I think it is not easy for him to support it until now." With your father's current situation, it would be useless to take strong medicine, but these medicines are expensive and good, so you really don't have enough money. And in addition to taking medicine, he also needs to supplement nutrition to recover faster, otherwise if the nutrition can't keep up, it will be in vain, and even if it is good, it will be very slow and slow. So...... "the latter words he thought he didn't say, they should all know.
To be honest, he could see that it was all the money that their family could think of, but it wasn't enough to heal his father. They also have to live, and they can't invest all their money in this one place, and he is also very helpless, but he can't provide them with any other help other than that.
After understanding what the old doctor meant, Xiaobao turned his head, first looked at his father, and then at his grandmother, the corners of his mouth moved, but he still didn't say the words in his mouth. Then he lowered his head weakly, and he thought: Why am I still so young, if I am an adult now, would it not be like this?
Yang Xue also heard what the old doctor meant, mainly saying: Now Xiaobao's father is in a very serious situation, and he needs to use good medicine to treat it, but it costs a lot of money, and their current money is not enough to cure it, and the follow-up nutrition can't keep up. After she understood, she asked the old doctor, "Doctor, if you say how much money it will cost, be specific." ”
There wasn't much in the hospital at this time, just their group. Hearing her words, everyone looked at her, and she was still a little uncomfortable with so many eyes on her, but she still looked at the old doctor firmly.
Maybe it was because of her determined eyes, and the others unconsciously followed her to look at the old doctor. The old doctor came to his senses and said to her very seriously: "The cost of this medicine is at least about thirty-five taels, and you will not be charged for the consultation fee." But, as I said earlier, you have to give the patient some good food supplements, otherwise his recovery will take more time, and it will cost a lot of money. And this is already the minimal. ”
Knowing the specific money she needed, she asked again: "Then if you take good medicine and take good medicine as the doctor said, how long will it take for him to recover." "If that's the case, you'll be able to get out of bed and walk around a little bit in about half a month, but you still need help." If he is fully recovered to the point where he was not injured before, it will take three or four months, after all, you all know his condition. ”
After listening to the old doctor's words, she thought for a while and said, "Doctor, can you first use good medicine to save people back, and then use the money to grab the medicine first, and then use ordinary medicine first." They are now more than twenty taels and nearly thirty taels, and the difference is not too much, is this okay? As for the rest, let's figure it out later. The doctor thought for a while and said, "It's not that you can't, but I said it first, the medicines I prescribe are all matched, and if I change the dressings later, I don't guarantee that he will recover so quickly." Also, if you change to ordinary medicine later, there will still be some effects, and the effect may not be as good as that of good medicine, and the dose of medicine will be more and the time will be longer. Maybe you'll end up spending a little more, are you sure you want to? When it came to the back, the old doctor looked at the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family and said.
Yang Xue could hear that these words were not for her, but for the ancestors and grandchildren of the Du family and the village chief, so she also looked at them. It may be that there is a glimmer of hope, and the grandparents are a little happy, but because of the old doctor's later sentence, it will cost more money, so they have not decided for a long time. In the end, they agreed, and Zhang said to the old doctor: "Doctor, let's do it, at least you can save my son first, and then talk about it later." Doctor, you can prescribe medicine, thank you. ”
When the old doctor saw that they had decided, he went to prescribe the medicine, and after prescribing the medicine, he asked the medicine boy in the store to boil the medicine and bring it to him. After taking the medicine, the person is still in a coma, because the effect of the medicine does not work so quickly after taking the medicine, so there is no change in it. However, the old doctor also said: Now the patient is not suitable to move and has not woken up, so let him stay in the hospital for a few days, and then move back when he can go home. Zhang also agreed.
Yang Xue had expected this, but now that they had delayed a lot of time, it was time to leave anyway. So she said goodbye to the village chief and the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family, and a few people left after a few more greetings. In fact, it is mainly Zhang's to the effect that it means to thank them for their help.
Before leaving, the village chief said to send them, but they refused. But then she still said to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, your name is Xiaobao, right?" Seeing that Xiaobao nodded, he said again: "Then will you send my brother?" My brother still has something to say to you, so just send it to the door. Xiaobao glanced at Zhang, who nodded at him and looked at the village chief, who also nodded, and he said, "Okay," and then came out with them.
In fact, it was not a few steps from the inside of the hospital to the door, and she began to say to Xiaobao all the way to the door: "Xiaobao, my brother told you, remember what my brother told you before, don't think about selling your body anymore, I know what you just wanted to say but you held back, it's right." You have to know that just like the village chief said before, now you are the lifeblood of your family, if you are not there, how do you live, how do your father face himself. Now that you're a healthy person in your family, you have to take care of yourself, and you have to take care of your dad and your grandma, you know? You have to be there for them, you are their hope. There are ......" Yang Xue looked up at Li Bokang, Li Bokang immediately understood what she meant, stepped forward and blocked the eyes of the people inside.
Seeing Li Bokang's movements, she gave him an appreciative look, and then whispered to Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, this is five taels of silver, you take it, don't let others know about its existence, including the village chief." You keep this money in the future and use it to get medicine for your father and your life, take good care of yourself and your father and grandmother. You must remember not to let others know, and don't take it out now, so that you can use it at critical moments later? Remember! So saying, he took out five taels of silver from his body and gave it to him, and when he seemed to want to say something, he said, "You can't refuse." "Got it, brother." Looking at her determined eyes, Xiaobao accepted the silver and took it into his arms.
Seeing that he understood what she meant, after accepting the silver and putting it away, Yang Xue amplified her voice and said, "Be good, you must be obedient in the future and take good care of your father and grandmother." After speaking, he reached out and rubbed his head before turning to leave, and Li Bokang also followed quickly.
