Chapter 34: The Primer of Medicine
Except that on the surface, do not advertise your money, lest people with ulterior motives calculate!
At a deep level, you should also be a low-key person, and don't go around advocating yourself.
"It's all in my pocket! It seems that it won't be long before I can heal my father's injuries!" Li Dai said with a spring breeze on his face.
Four taels of silver is not much, it is almost half of ten taels of silver, as long as you work hard once or twice, ten taels of silver will be completely done, and there will be almost no big problems.
"I can't imagine that I can really get it together, but even if Ah Dai can get together 10 taels of silver, I'm afraid it's still a little troublesome. Zhang Gou smacked his lips and sighed, his face a little embarrassed.
Recalling what the other party said when he asked Lang Zhong for a consultation just now, Zhang Goudan had to open his mouth to remind him.
"What's the matter? Didn't Lang Zhong say ten taels of silver?" Li Dai said with a blank face.
Could it be that the treatment of Father Li's injuries was not ten taels of silver, but twenty taels, or even thirty taels of silver?
If that's the case, it will take even longer, at least Li Dai can't do it once or twice.
"According to Lang Zhong, ten taels of silver is the cost of the treatment and some other herbs, but there is one medicine primer that is a bit difficult to find, and we need to find it ourselves. Li San said with a wry smile.
After all that!
For a while, everyone was dull, and Li San was so embarrassed that his face was red, and he didn't know what to do.
As the third child in the family, he blames himself for his incompetence, not only can he not share the responsibility with his father and brother in the family, but he is not even as good as the sixth dumb who behaves in average on weekdays, which makes him deeply condemn himself in his heart.
But the difficulty now is that Dumb actually got four taels of silver, and even in the near future, he will be able to get ten taels of silver for treatment.
But the matter of the medicine primer still seems a little difficult to handle, right?
"I don't know what kind of medicine primer it is? Li Dai said in a deep voice.
Although he doesn't know what the medicine primer is?
But it shouldn't be too difficult to think about, so if you can't do it, let Baicao help you buy it, and at most you can buy it directly with some silver taels!
Of course, if he could know what the medicine primer was, he could completely let Xiao Yi and the mountain rat pay attention to it at ordinary times and make preparations in advance.
"Lang Zhong said just now, the matter of the medicine primer is not in a hurry, the key is to get together the matter of 10 taels of silver first, and it is not too late to look for it after treating a few curative effects. Father Li's usual deep-locked eyebrows and face that had been cut by the cold wind became more and more cold, and he shook his head slightly with a heavy heart.
He also knew that this was completely embarrassing for his sixth child.
It is said that the medicine is not in a hurry, but it is not that Lang Zhong thinks that a few people are wearing tatters.
At first glance, it is a poor person in the mountain, maybe Lang Zhong purely thinks that he may not be able to make up even ten taels of silver, so he is too lazy to take care of them!
"I see, so this medicine primer doesn't seem to be very important?" Li Dai said with a relieved heart.
He can be regarded as relaxed, the medicine primer does not seem to be so important, maybe the injury can be cured with or without the medicine primer, but it is just a little longer.
Lang Zhong also said that although there is no medicine primer for the time being, there is no guarantee that it will recur, and even if you are too tired, it will cause the injury again. The wrinkles on Father Li's forehead deepened, and the knots of the two eyebrows were locked together.
He naturally hopes to treat his injuries once and for all, the price of 10 taels of silver is too great, if he is told that he will recur or something, then it would rather not cost that unjust money.
They say that it sounds good, what can't guarantee that there will be a recurrence?
In fact, the understanding of this sentence is very simple, that is, it will definitely recur, and the injury is only a temporary recovery for a period of time.
"Doesn't that mean that it took ten taels of silver to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Old Zhang Tou said disheartenedly.
This is a complete waste of money, and it is not easy to make up for such an expensive treatment cost, but it does cost more money than it should have been.
"It does have this meaning, so it is still very important to find the medicine primer, but unfortunately there are too many people looking for the medicine primer to see a doctor, and that Langzhong may think that we mountain people are too poor to be able to get together ten taels of silver, so we didn't wait for us to ask the specific name of the medicine primer and sent us away. Li Erniu said listlessly.
In fact, during the consultation, not only Li's father felt this way, but other people also felt this way.
At first, Lang Zhong found out that it was the guest designated by the shopkeeper to arrange the consultation, and he attached great importance to it, so he immediately stopped his patients and personally received Li's father and Li Da.
Later, I found out that these mountain people couldn't even get together a tael of silver, and they knew that they didn't need 10 taels, so they looked worse and worse, was this a complete waste of his time?
As Lang Zhong of Baicaotang, he was very busy, how could he have such time to chat with a few poor mountain people from the mountains, and soon sent Li's father and Li Da away.
"Hey, it's no wonder that Lang Zhong is here for this, and it's mainly because of us, where would we have thought that Adai's three Tuxuan ginseng could actually be sold for four taels of silver, so after hearing the cost of ten taels of silver, I didn't have the heart to ask about the medicine primer. Father Li said gloomily.
After glancing at Lang Zhong's continuous consultation with other patients, Li Dai and the others also knew that Lang Zhong had no time to spare for a while, so he had to go back and gather ten taels of silver to come back for a detailed consultation.
Anyway, for the current Li Dai, it is not too difficult to get together 10 taels of silver, and it should not take a few days to get it.
"Old Zhang Tou, have we all taken care of the matter of the herb collection group?" Zhang Gou said lightly.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the crowd was rather dull, he casually talked about the herbs that Lao Zhangtou brought for sale this time.
These herbs are all herbs brought by the Shanlong Village medicine collection team for several days, some are dried herbs in the sun, and some are fresh herbs that have just been picked for a short time.
However, the limelight of selling herbs this time was snatched away by Dumb, and in any case, there was no more valuable herb sold by Dumb.
"Deal with it, when you were in there just now, Ah He asked someone to send the herbs from his carriage, and they are still setting up a stall over there! Do you want to go and have a look?" said Lao Zhangtou slowly.
At that time, Dumb went inside to negotiate the price of three Tuxuan ginseng with Luan Yage, the eldest lady of the Baicaotang main hall, Lao Zhangtou chatted with the shopkeeper outside the door, and Li He arranged for Ah Dong and Ah Zan to send the herbs over.
The reason why the two of them came late was because they set off later than Lao Zhangtou and them, and Li He's carriage was faster than Lao Zhangtou's donkey cart, so they didn't have to get up too early, Lao Zhangtou himself was a donkey cart, and considering that they might have to queue up during the consultation, they naturally set off first!
After Li He and the others arrived in the town, Li He and Li E stayed in the market to sell their prey, and then Ah Dong and Ah Zan drove the carriage to bring some herbs.
"My father and brother are still injured today, and I am afraid that they will collide in the market, otherwise I will wait until the next time I am cured and come back to wander slowly. Li Dai shook his head slightly and refused.
Li Dai is now like an arrow, but he doesn't have time to hang out with them, not to mention that time is pressing, he hopes to deal with his father's and brother's injuries as soon as possible, and the soul of the ancient power has not been dealt with well.
If there is a little contradiction in the bazaar, not to mention alarming the government, it is accidentally bumping into my father and brother, it will be hurt even more, I am afraid that Dumb will regret it for the rest of his life!
He has been detained by the ancient power in his dreams for a lifetime, and has accompanied the other party through countless scenes, and he has long been determined and mature, so how can he be distracted by a little distraction.
"Okay, just say hello to them on our way back. Old Zhang Tou pondered for a while.
Lao Zhangtou thought about it and felt that it still made some sense, after all, Dumb's father and brother were so seriously injured, how could they be out for a long time, if there was an accident on the road, then Lao Zhangtou would be more or less unhappy, and he would accompany him all the way to the town.
But seeing that the situation of Dumb's father and brother is indeed not very good, and even when the road is a little bumpy, Lao Zhangtou is still a little nervous in his heart, will the injuries of the two of them be aggravated because of the bad road conditions.
Since Dumb strongly opposes going to the market, Lao Zhangtou naturally can't object, today's situation shows that Dumb is a big benefactor, and the important income of the hunting team in the future may depend on Dumb.
Lao Zhangtou naturally did not object, and he also attached great importance to Dumb's opinion.
"Adai, do you want to go to the market and buy something for your seventh and eighth sisters?"
Father Li still loves Li Qimei and Li Bamei's two youngest daughters.
In the past, when I wasn't hurt, every time I came to town or something, I would buy something good for them to take home, so that the two of them could miss it a little at home.
Besides, when they went out this morning, when everyone came to town, they said that they wanted Li Dai to bring them some delicious food.
"I don't need it today, this time I finally got together four taels of silver, if I am lucky, maybe I will be able to get six taels of silver next time, so that I can make up the consultation fee of ten taels of silver, so as not to delay the time and effect of treatment." Li Dai shook his head slightly.
Although they mentioned buying some delicious food to bring to them when they went out, Li Qimei and Li Bamei also seemed to be a little sensible, knowing that their father's and brother's injuries were very serious, and the top priority was naturally to treat the injuries of the two.
In the end, the two thought about it, hoping to buy gifts for their father and brother after their injuries were healed, and for the time being, they only needed Li Dai to make some grilled fish for them to eat.
Compared to when I was hungry and hungry for a full meal, I was already satisfied.
"Well, that's fine, I've wronged you. Father Li's two eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, and he said with some shame on his expression.
I knew in my heart that this was for him and Li Da's injury.
I don't want to spend money at will until the injury is healed, so as not to be embarrassed to find that after spending some money, I find that I just lack it!
