Chapter Seventy-Five: Stealing Food
After that, the divine doctor got up and went to the inner courtyard of the house to call a hunchbacked old woman, pointed at Zhang Feng and said, "This child is Qu Weng's apprentice grandson, he is here for treatment, you clean up the room and let him live temporarily." ”
The old woman squinted her eyes, walked around Zhang Feng, sighed slowly, and muttered: "The old one died here, and the little one is going to die here too?"
This was said strangely, and the tone was calm, and Zhang Feng was stunned when he heard it.
He looked at the doctor suspiciously, but the doctor looked at the flower field outside the house as if he wanted to avoid his gaze, and then walked out of the house without a sound.
After the divine doctor left, the old woman grabbed the long sword and bag from the ground, turned her head sideways and said to Zhang Feng, "Little ghost, come with me." ”
Zhang Feng let out a blank "oh" and followed her uneasily, walking through the corridor close to the inner courtyard.
Soon he came to a bedroom, which was poorly furnished and old, with ash on the walls and tables, and large cobwebs on the beams, and it was clear at a glance that this place had not been inhabited for a long time.
The old woman put down her bag and long sword and pushed open the window, "We haven't had guests here for many years, and you don't want to think that the house is old, many people can't live if they want to." ”
Zhang Feng said dryly: "Where did my mother-in-law say? How could I dislike it?"
The old woman glanced at him expressionlessly, bent down and walked out of the door, and after a while, she came back with a mattress, threw it on the couch, and said indifferently: "I still have something to do, you can clean up by yourself." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked away again, leaving Zhang Feng there alone.
Zhang Feng spread the mattress on the couch indiscriminately, sat stunned for a while, gradually felt tired, put his clothes on the couch, and soon fell asleep, and this sleep actually slept until noon the next day.
When he woke up, he felt empty and hungry, so he rushed to the kitchen, and saw half a plate of roasted meat on the kitchen counter, and estimated that it should be the rest of the people in the house, so he unceremoniously grabbed it with his hands and ate it, and finally he still felt hungry, but he could no longer find ready-made food.
Just as she was hesitating whether to cook something to eat herself, the old woman suddenly appeared and opened her mouth and said, "Little ghost, I can't see that you are actually a thief." ”
Zhang Feng grinned and said, "I've been hungry for two days, and you don't call me to eat, so I have to find something to fill my stomach by myself." ”
The old woman said, "You sleep like a dead man, how can I call you?"
After a pause, he said: "There are some dry goods in the hall that can be eaten freshly, you can go there to eat, and by the way, you can also help Xin'er serve tea to the guests, and you can find me when you are hungry in the future, but you are not allowed to run to the kitchen again." ”
Zhang Feng vaguely agreed, left the kitchen, and walked straight to the hall.
When he came to the hall, he was stunned for a moment. There, more than 100 people lined up in a row until they reached the path in the flower field outside the house. Most of these guys were well-dressed and of all ages, both men and women, with anxious looks on their faces.
Zhang Feng glanced at it and asked Mu Yixin, who was sitting on a chair in the hall, "What are these people here for?"
Mu Yixin glanced at him, and replied angrily: "Naturally, I came to seek a doctor." Grandpa went out of the customs ahead of time because of your business, and these people heard the wind and rushed here overnight to wait. ”
What Mu Yixin said was true, these people had indeed been waiting there for the night, of course, because they were eager to seek treatment, but more importantly, because everyone had heard of a quirk of the miracle doctor. The old man often chased away all the patients when he encountered strange diseases, and closed his doors to the public, and at one time he was out of consultation for three years, and many of them did not survive until he was re-treated.
At the moment, even the patients at the forefront of the queue were difficult to feel at ease, scratching their heads and sighing from time to time, and then they couldn't bear the anxiety in their hearts, and pleaded with Mu Yixin with a flattering smile: "Fairy, help urge the divine doctor, one patient has been taken away by the divine doctor for a while, and now it's time to replace the next one." ”
Mu Yixin's expression was gentle, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and she said politely: "Grandpa is the most taboo to disturb others when he is diagnosing his illness, I don't dare to urge him." ”
Zhang Feng was originally holding a plate of dried mountain fruits and chewing them slowly, watching coldly, but then he suddenly echoed: "How big is it to diagnose a disease, how can you be impatient? ”
The man sneered and said yes again and again, and asked, "This little brother has a powdered face, it should be a native of the Shui Kingdom, right? I heard that the medical skills of your Shui people are unique and can bring the dead back to life, why do you have to travel far here to ask the divine doctor to diagnose the disease?"
Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, then his face was slightly gloomy, and he said angrily: "I am a dignified man, how can I apply powder on my face?"
Mu Yixin pursed her lips and smiled, although the man already knew the gaffe, but when he saw that he could make a fool of the divine doctor, he made a mistake and deliberately joked about Zhang Feng: "Who said that a man can't put powder on his face? Which of the top five men in the world is not smeared with a thick layer of powder on his face? If the little brother really doesn't apply powder, then it will be amazing, and he will definitely be on the list of beautiful men in a few years." ”
Zhang Feng glared, snorted heavily, and didn't pay attention to the man anymore.
At this time, the divine doctor and a young man walked out of the next room side by side, and entered the hall, and the young man kept bowing to the divine doctor, and said respectfully: "If the old gentleman has to go to the wooden country Dengfeng City in the future, I will definitely be hospitable, and I will never dare to slack off." ”
The divine doctor raised his hand and said indifferently: "No need to be polite, you can go, there are other patients waiting for me." ”
The young man bowed down and exited the hall step by step, and when he reached the door of the house, he stood up straight, and suddenly, solemnly knelt down, kowtowed to the divine doctor, and said loudly: "The old gentleman's kindness today, Yucan will never forget it." ”
The divine doctor glanced at the young man tiredly, ignored it, and then stared at Zhang Feng for a moment, and said in surprise: "Is the injury on your shoulder all right?"
Zhang Feng shook his arm gently, "I can move, but it still hurts badly." ”
The divine doctor sighed and instructed Mu Yixin: "Xin'er, you can help him take a look at the wound." Then he beckoned to the man in front of him, turned and walked back to the next room.
Mu Yixin went to the pharmacy to find some Jinchuang medicine, returned to the hall, and said to Zhang Feng coldly: "Grandpa asked me to treat my injury, you can untie your shirt first, let me see how the injury is." ”
She had a good temper, but this bastard first cheated her father's elixir, and then almost killed her brother, and for such a person, she couldn't pretend to be kind on her face.
Zhang Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said with some disbelief: "Is it right here to treat your injuries?"
Mu Yixin said angrily: "Why not here? You are a boy, are you afraid of being embarrassed when you take off your shirt?"
Zhang Feng didn't expect this section, he was mainly afraid of the cold, but seeing Mu Yixin's indifferent attitude, he didn't dare to be verbose, and immediately untied the animal skin jacket according to his words and took off the plush clothes he was wearing closely.
The plush jacket was sewn by his father with a needle and a thread, stuffed with cotton wool and cashmere, and the fabric was woven of silk, which was warm and comfortable to wear, and he had always cherished it, and when he took it off this time, he found that the clothes had been torn a hole, and it was stained red with blood, he couldn't help but feel very distressed, frowned, and thought about washing and sewing it quickly.
Mu Yixin glanced at his shoulder slightly, "Your wound runs through the front and back, although the bleeding has temporarily stopped, but if you want to avoid leaving a trail, you still need to uncover the blood scab and pour these medicinal powders into the wound." ”
As he spoke, he placed a delicate wooden box on the table, and Nunu said, "This matter is not difficult, you can handle it yourself." ”
