Zhu Zheng had nothing to do, he was carrying the tail of the old scalper, leaving the tail for it.

Inadvertently raised his head, his eyes swept past a figure who hurriedly ran out from Buzhuang, he pointed in her direction, and hurriedly asked Chu Yuan.

"Chu family boy, can you see if that is your daughter-in-law?"

Chu Yuan was just a kung fu to turn back, and he almost missed her. Immediately annoyed that he was distracted, his long legs jumped off the ox cart at the right time, and he remembered to explain to Zhu Zheng.

"Second Uncle Zhu, I'll go and see ———"

After saying that, Zhu Zheng saw that the tall back was like an ox cart galloping, flashing many phantoms.

Zhu Zheng was surprised and envious, shook his head and muttered: "It's good to be young......"

He grasped the oxtail in his hand and put it back, and patted off the tail hair of the old cow.

sighed with mixed feelings: "It looks like it's really old......"

……

There is a winding alley at the end of the three shops in the cloth village, and there is another long and deep alley at the corner of the corner.

At this time, in the corner closest to the dead end, there was a skinny and gray-haired old beggar.

He bent his protruding kneecaps, and the whole person occupied less than a meter of position. Dying curled up, his face was dull, with more air in and less breath, obviously on the verge of twilight.

And beside him squatted a thin figure, he lowered his head, and reached out to pull the old beggar's drooping eyelids.

With a confused face, he said urgently: "Master...... You hold on, don't leave Xiao Qi alone......"

Hearing the choked voice of the child, the old beggar turned his neck with difficulty and tilted his head to look at him.

Because he had not had a full stomach for many days, and because of his illness, the old beggar's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

He tried to raise his head several times to see the face in front of him, but with great effort, he could only see a vague outline.

The old beggar slowly raised his thin hand with his finger bones, and grabbed the little beggar's immature hand in a random manner. Tearing off the loose skin of his face, he smiled ugly at him.

"Xiao Qi, don't be afraid... Okay, sir..."

After speaking, he suddenly coughed violently, and the little beggar sensibly reached out and patted his chest to calm him.

Fear and worry tortured his young heart, Xiao Qi couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down his eyes. After a while, the placket on the old beggar's chest was wet.

He cried, "Master... Father... Father... What's wrong with you? ”

There were three or two beggars lying on the ground around, and they didn't look back, so it was not strange to see this scene. I even felt noisy, turned over and covered my ears, and continued to sleep.

When Xu Wan approached the box that seemed to be bright but was actually dim, he stopped at the intersection and took in all the scenes.

The old beggar's knees were bent, and his torn trousers, which were too short, moved upward, revealing a festering and pus-draining wound on his calf.

A small part of the scab was crusted, and the remaining quarter of the area was a blur of bright red flesh, with yellowish pus accumulating between the flesh, and a few mosquitoes and flies fluttering their wings next to the calf, trying to get closer to the bloody wound.

Xu Wan was shocked and couldn't bear it.

As a doctor, I have been used to it for a long time, but whenever I see an injured person, I will always involuntarily feel pity and want to reach out to treat others......

At the end, Xiao Qi was still crying in a low voice, and his mouth kept calling: "Master... Father... Father... Don't scare me..."

The successive steps quickly stepped forward, and when a slender figure squatted beside Xiao Qi, the little beggar who was immersed in sadness didn't know it at all.

Xu Wan said softly: "You go to the ox cart parked outside the Buzhuang Gate to find a person named Chu Yuan... If your father is like this, he must be sent to the hospital immediately. ”

Xiao Qi turned his head sideways one by one, and when he saw Xu Wan's face clearly, his thin face suddenly showed weakness and regret.

His grandfather taught him to be upright and not to do petty theft, but he ...... Now everyone has stolen money.

Flustered and short-hearted, he stammered, "Why are you here...?" ”

Xu Wan teasingly lifted his eyelids to look at him, and said lightly.

"Your skills are not enough to pass, if you change someone, you will already be in the yamen at this moment."

Xiao Qi looked at her dumbfounded as if she was frozen by a nail, and she didn't dare to come out.

Although the old beggar didn't look clear enough, when he heard the conversation, he looked at Xiao Qi sternly.

He panted and asked, "Little... Little Qi'er... What did you do...! ”

Receiving the stern gaze that his master could see through at a glance, Xiao Qi lowered his head in shame.

From this, it can be seen that this old beggar is very strict with this little beggar. If he hadn't been forced to do so, he wouldn't have made such a move.

Xu Wan Zhengse said: "If you don't heal your wounds, you won't have a chance to scold him if you want to!" ”

As he spoke, there was another sound of hurried footsteps behind him.

Xu Wan and the little beggar turned around at the same time when they heard the sound, just touching Chu Yuan's condensed black eyes.

Xu Wan was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

Xiao Qi saw that it was someone she knew well, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.

Chu Yuan always looked at her heavily, obviously minding her that she had stepped into this dangerous place alone.

However, Xu Wan didn't seem to know, she said with a happy face: "It's just right, you carry him on your back and send him to the hospital." ”

……

In the nearest infirmary near the city gate was an old man with a goatee, sitting straight behind a square table, looking up just enough to face the door.

Chu Yuan stepped into the hospital with a ragged old beggar on his back.

The old doctor immediately shouted, "Send the people to the back room!" ”

He didn't show a trace of disgust and resistance, and treated it equally.

When Xu Wan followed him into the medical hall, he witnessed this scene and couldn't help but respect him.

The footsteps behind him were so light that they were almost imperceptible if they didn't listen carefully. But Xu Wan's ear power is better, and he still noticed.

She slowly looked back at Xiao Qi with a tangled face, and asked, "Why are you walking so slowly, I don't want to see your master?" ”

Xiao Qi struggled for a long time, nervously tugging at the corner of his clothes, and whispered: "I have to give silver for medical treatment... But I don't have any money. ”

Xu Wan instantly realized that her purse that was plundered by him had fifty yuan in it, otherwise she would have chased after her.

But when she saw someone who was having a more difficult time than her, her colleagues' hearts surged, and she suddenly felt that she had lost a small amount of money and saved her life, and she did not suffer a loss.

She couldn't see the little beggar cowering, so she simply picked him up and strode inside.

"What are you worried about these useless things for... Since I'm coming, I won't make it difficult for you......"

Xiao Qi was still discouraged after the previous lesson, and the next moment her mind was clear because of her words.

He stared up at her blankly, and muttered in a low voice, "Ye is right... Although there are many bad guys... But there are also well-meaning people..."

……

The old doctor used to be a traveling doctor when he was young.

I have seen injuries large and small, and this old beggar has not seen such a wound.

He treated the wounds of the old beggar, shaved off the rotten flesh with a fire-roasted knife, cleaned the pus, and sprinkled the wound with medicine that would heal the wound.

Then he glanced at the old beggar, who was not in good spirits, and bent down to give him a pulse.

The old doctor squinted his old eyes, and his face changed as fast as lightning.

He groaned, "How long has it been since he eaten?" I'm going to starve for a few more days. ”

When the words fell, he inadvertently saw Xiao Qi looking like he had just cried, and it was obvious that he was about to have another seizure, so he immediately tightened his heart and immediately made up for himself.

"But with the old medical skills, if you eat slowly and take a few pairs of decoctions, over time, you will definitely be able to jump around..."

Xiao Qi held back the tears in his eyes and nodded happily.

"Grandpa......"

After the old doctor learned that Xu Wan and the others were uneven, and drew a knife to help, he immediately expressed his admiration for their righteousness.

patted his chest and said that he would let his grandfather and grandson stay in the hospital to recuperate, and wait for the old beggar to recover before leaving.

When he was young, he was also a chivalrous man, which shows that he must not lag behind the rising star.

"You can rest assured, the medicine money is given, and the old man is usually alone, and the meal can be brought to them to cook more......

Xu Wan took out the copper plate and handed it to him.

With a grateful face, he said, "Then there will be more doctors." ”

Before leaving, Xu Wan found Xiao Qi and took him to the corner to talk.

"Give me back the purse."

Xiao Qi went out to steal today, and now that his father has been rescued by the doctor, he is already satisfied and grateful.

He lowered his head and said with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, sister, I'll give it back to you." ”

After he finished speaking, he reached out and lifted the hem of his shirt on the spot, took out the crumpled purse, and returned it to Xu Wan.

Said a little shyly: "My grandfather, he asked me to say thank you to you..."

Xu Wan held the purse, poured out the copper plate with a bang, stuffed the purse into his sleeve with one hand, and stuffed the copper plate into Xiao Qi's hand with the other.

"You have hidden these well, and you need to take them out and use them at all times."

"When I enter the city again, I will come to see you..."

Xiao Qi held the copper plate that filled his hands in a daze, and watched the figure go away......

At the same time, at this moment, he vowed in his heart that he would be a useful person in the future, and he would also help others out of trouble when he came out.
