Chapter 14: Backsliding
There are many people sitting in the hall of the Lu family, there are men and women, old and young, all wearing new clothes, the adults are chatting there, and the small ones are playing next to them, full of the joy of the New Year.
Seeing the three of them enter the house, the people in the hall looked at them.
"Daddy, someone brought it. As soon as the man surnamed Lu entered the door, he said to an old man in a wheelchair in the living room.
Chu Chen glanced at the living room, then swept his gaze over the people in the living room, and finally, his gaze fell on the old man in a wheelchair, this old man was Old Man Lu. Old man Lu looked to be in his eighties, full of silver hair, and his tiger eyes were powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, Chu Chen only swept away.
With the words of the man surnamed Lu, the eyes of the people in the living room all looked towards Chu Chen.
"Big brother, are you sure this kid can heal Daddy's leg?" a man said to the man surnamed Lu, with a look of disbelief and faint displeasure.
"His second uncle, Xiao Chen has cured his father's paralysis, maybe he can also cure the old man's leg, anyway, Xiao Chen has already promised, that medicine will not be harmful to the old man. The man surnamed Xiong said to the middle-aged man who spoke with a smile, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, this is the old man, quickly take out the medicine and give it to the old man to try." ”
Chu Chen nodded to the man surnamed Xiong, answered with a "yes", and then walked towards Old Man Lu.
"Old man, stretch out your hand. Coming to Old Man Lu, Chu Chen squatted down and said.
Old Man Lu looked at Chu Chen and slowly stretched out his right hand.
Chu Chen stretched out his right hand and pretended to take his pulse, which he did by learning from those ancient doctors on the TV to treat patients;
Chu Chen pretended to give Old Man Lu a pulse, and when the people in the hall saw this, they couldn't help but look at me, I looked at you, and they all felt that they had underestimated this kid, I was afraid that this kid really had some medical skills.
After more than a minute, Chu Chen let go of Old Man Lu's hand, then stood up, shook his head with pity and said: "Old man, I'm afraid that this leg is difficult to treat, the meridians are not smooth, and I have taken a lot of messy medicine, alas, I'm afraid it can't be cured." ”
"Xiao Chen, then you try the medicine to the old man first. When the man surnamed Xiong heard Chu Chen's words, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he hurriedly spoke.
"It's okay to try, but my medicine is very precious, and I can't buy it with money, and when the time comes, I give it to the old man, and I can't cure it, so won't I lose a lot." Chu Chen replied with an embarrassed expression.
"Xiao Chen, didn't we say it was okay when we came? Regardless of whether this medicine can cure the old man's leg or not, the money your family owes me has been written off, do you want to regret it?" Seeing Chu Chen's appearance, the man surnamed Xiong was suddenly a little displeased, and said.
"Okay, since I promised Uncle Xiong, then I'll give it a try. Chu Chen sighed, and then said to the middle-aged man surnamed Lu: "Then please ask Uncle Lu to take me to the kitchen, and I will dispense medicine." ”
"Okay, follow me. The middle-aged man surnamed Lu frowned and said.
So, Chu Chen followed the middle-aged man surnamed Lu to the kitchen, and Chu Chen asked him to prepare a cup of warm boiled water.
The middle-aged man surnamed Lu prepared warm boiled water for Chu Chen and put it on the table.
"Please also ask Uncle Lu to go out and wait for a while. Chu Chen couldn't help but say when he saw the middle-aged man surnamed Lu standing there motionless.
The middle-aged man surnamed Lu frowned again, and after glancing at Chu Chen lightly, he turned around and left the kitchen.
After the middle-aged man surnamed Lu left, Chu Chen took out two Zhu Guo from his pocket and put them in the water cup, and then found a chopstick to mash the Zhu Guo, after the Zhu Guo was mashed, it completely melted into the water, and even the color of the water did not change in the slightest, but Chu Chen had already seen it once, and he didn't feel strange.
Chu Chen walked out of the kitchen with the water cup, came to the front of Old Man Lu again, handed the water cup to him and said: "Old man, the medicine has been prepared, you drink it and try it, if you feel pain in your legs after eating it, it means that the medicine has an effect, if you don't feel it, it means that this medicine has no effect on you." ”
Old Man Lu took the water cup and hesitated, but still drank a glass of water.
"Xiao Chen, how long will it take to see the effect?" The man surnamed Xiong couldn't help but ask after Old Man Lu drank it.
Chu Chen took the water cup from Old Man Lu's hand, thought about the time after his father drank the medicine at that time, and said, "It's more than a minute." ”
So, everyone stared at Old Man Lu, and suddenly felt that time seemed to have slowed down a lot.
Chu Chen also stared at Old Man Lu tightly, he didn't know if Zhu Guo had any effect on Old Man Lu, if it didn't work, he wouldn't have the money to pay off his family's debts, Bodhisattva bless, you must let Zhu Guo have an effect on this Old Man Lu. Chu Chen prayed in his heart.
In the waiting of everyone, in Chu Chen's prayers, finally, a look of pain appeared on Old Man Lu's face, and then Old Man Lu shouted: "Pain, it hurts me to death!"
"Damn, what kind of poison did you little cub give my father!See if I don't kill you!" Hearing Old Man Lu's painful cry of pain, suddenly, the man who was called his second uncle by the man surnamed Xiong immediately shouted at Chu Chen, his face was hideous, and he was about to beat Chu Chen severely.
"His second uncle, don't be impulsive, Xiao Chen said just now, this medicine has an effect!" The man surnamed Xiong hurriedly stopped between Chu Chen and the "second uncle", and said to the man, if Chu Chen is beaten by the Lu family here, the Chu family will definitely not let him go, the Chu family does not dare to provoke the Lu family, but he is just a small businessman, and the Chu family may not be afraid of him.
At this time, the people around him also came to persuade this man, so they didn't let this man come over to beat Chu Chen.
Chu Chen glanced at the man coldly, and then said to Old Man Lu, "Old man, is it a leg pain?"
"yes, it's the leg, it's painful. Old Man Lu nodded and said, "Quickly bring me painkillers!"
"Old man, this pain will only hurt for three or four minutes, it won't hurt anymore, and your legs can walk on the ground!" Chu Chen said.
"Daddy, just bear with me for a while. A middle-aged woman spoke, and after that, the others spoke one after another, persuading Old Man Lu to wait a while.
Old Man Lu was sweating in pain, and he looked like he was a little prostration, but it was indeed as Chu Chen said, only after more than three minutes, the pain disappeared, and Old Man Lu didn't cry out in pain, he collapsed in a wheelchair, gasping for breath, and it took about ten minutes before he calmed down and slowly opened his somewhat cloudy eyes.
"Old man Lu, you go down to the ground and take a walk to see if you can walk. Seeing that Old Man Lu opened his eyes, Chu Chen said to Old Man Lu.
"Daddy, come down and try it. The middle-aged man surnamed Lu walked over, squeezed Chu Chen aside, and helped Old Man Lu up.
The man who was shouting to beat Chu Chen just now also came over, and the two of them helped up Old Man Lu in the wheelchair one by one.
With the support of his two sons, Old Man Lu got up from his wheelchair and could really walk!
"I can walk, I can really walk!!" Seeing that he could really walk, Old Man Lu suddenly became excited.
The people of the Lu family were suddenly overjoyed, and they all went to Old Man Lu to congratulate him. Chu Chen was squeezed out of the crowd.
A few minutes later, Old Man Lu was helped to sit on the sofa in the living room.
"Old man Lu, you have to rest well these days and don't go around. At this time, Chu Chen had a chance to speak.
"Good. Old Man Lu said with a smile.
"Since Old Man Lu is already well, then ask Uncle Lu to give me the money according to what is written on the voucher. Chu Chen set his eyes on the middle-aged man surnamed Lu and said.
"The banks are closed today, and in a few days, I will personally send it to you. The middle-aged man surnamed Lu glanced up at Chu Chen and said lightly.
"The banks are closed, but there are ATMs. Chu Chen said: "Give me 20,000 yuan first, and then talk about the rest after the New Year." ”
"Will my Lu family lose your money?" The man who was about to beat Chu Chen just now suddenly shouted at Chu Chen: "My brother said that he would send it to you in two days, so let's leave quickly!"
Chu Chen glanced at the man, and then at the other people in the living room, all of whom were fucking blind to him, even the old man Lu was only sitting there, and the man surnamed Xiong didn't look at him. Rabbits and dead dogs are cooked, birds are all hidden,!!
"In that case, forget it, then I'll go back first. Chu Chen smiled, and after speaking, he walked towards the door, and when he walked to the door, he turned back and looked at the person in the living room: "Oh, by the way, Old Man Lu still needs to take medicine twice, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, otherwise I am afraid that this leg will not be able to walk tomorrow." ”
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he opened the door, put on his shoes and went out without the slightest hesitation.
