Chapter 14: Life History
The doctor was benevolent, and the old gentleman who came out of the tent did not dislike the patient as a beggar and gave up treatment.
After carefully checking the pulse for a while, he then looked at the little guy's tongue, and then said: "It's not a big deal, it's just a cold, the wind and cold attack the lungs, I will prescribe a dose of Sanqiao soup, and go back and let the patient drink and rest." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his brush and prescribed medicine on the straw paper.
Hearing this, Cheng Nuo was much more relieved, in this Republic of China, where the average life expectancy is less than 35 years old, a small cold may kill someone, and now the little guy is just a cold attack on the lungs, which is already a blessing in misfortune.
But when he grabbed the medicine, Cheng Nuo was suddenly embarrassed to find that all the money on his body had been replaced with his hair and went out, and now he had no money.
Li Laosan guessed Cheng Nuo's thoughts, but he couldn't do anything, the money for pulling the car in the morning had been placed at home, and he didn't work in the afternoon, and his pocket was empty, he tilted his head and thought about it, and took the initiative to say: "Sir, why don't you wait here first, and I'll go home and get the money?" ”
"Forget it, it's such a cold day and it's far away, and it's not a way to toss back and forth." Cheng Nuo waved his hand and did not agree to this suggestion.
But if you don't pay for medical treatment, it's unreasonable to say anything, so Cheng Nuo took off the watch in his hand and put it on the counter.
"Old gentleman, please calculate, how much is the total amount of medical treatment and medicine, I didn't bring any money with me when I was in a hurry today, and a watch from the United States of America pressed this for you, and I will wipe the account again tomorrow, do you think it?"
It's already late at night, and you don't have to guess that the pawnshop has long since closed.
And this watch, in order to leave a commemorative memory when he returned to China, was specially given to him, and the value is not cheap, and it is helpless to press the watch here.
When the old gentleman heard this, he didn't raise his head, and looked at the medical book to himself: "You have collected the valuables yourself, these are all cheap medicines, so we won't accept them." ”
I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I haven't seen any kind of person the old gentleman, Cheng Nuo and they knew what was going on as soon as they entered the door.
Looking at Cheng Nuo's dressing and not looking like a person who is short of money, now he is willing to take out his watch and mortgage it, and it can be seen that he is a good person with a good heart.
Besides, this disease is a common disease, and the medicine is indeed not expensive, so I don't want to charge this money when I come and go.
As a result, seeing that Cheng Nuo was carrying the packaged medicine, he wanted to leave his watch, so he blew his beard directly and directly instructed the guy: "It's not early, send the guest quickly." ”
Cheng Nuo, who was pushed out of the door, felt helpless, so he had to put the watch back on and shouted inside: "Old man, when will you open the door tomorrow, and I will come to give you money again." ”
Unexpectedly, the old gentleman said angrily: "The door will be closed tomorrow, and we will not accept customers!" ”
Hey, this old man is a wonderful guy too.
Cheng Nuo couldn't help laughing, but he was looking forward to tomorrow's scene.
Now that the disease is known, the medicine has been obtained, and the only thing left is to take the decoction.
So a few people came to the previous inn as fast as possible, settled the little guy in their room, took the money and immediately gave Li Laosan some as today's wages, and he went back first after accepting it, after all, it was not early, and there were still a few people waiting at home, and they couldn't force people to stay.
In addition, the inn was also given some money as the use of the decoction in the kitchen, and the pots and pans plus firewood were all owned by others, and the money should be paid.
After decocting the medicine and helping the little guy to drink it, it didn't take long for the complexion on his face to improve, and the cough stopped temporarily.
It seems that it is really the right medicine, and the old gentleman is really powerful.
Suddenly, the little beggar who had been following him pounced, knelt directly in front of Cheng Nuo, pointed at the little guy on the bed, and kowtowed like crazy.
Just when Cheng Nuo was stunned, Bang Bang Bang had already knocked more than ten times, and his forehead was bleeding.
How can this be endured, seeing that posture Cheng Nuo doesn't pull anymore, it is estimated that he will die there.
Cheng Nuo hurriedly got up to assist the little beggar and persuaded: "The man has gold under his knees, get up quickly, I already understand the kindness." ”
It's okay not to help, as soon as Cheng Nuo helped him, he directly felt that the little beggar was fluttering, and he felt that in addition to a piece of skin, only bones were left in this body.
Take a closer look, okay, just fainted.
Alas, he didn't eat any of the two nests himself, and he ran with it for so long on such a cold day, and it was good to be able to hold on until now.
Pour some hot water and wipe the little beggar's face, and put him on the bed and cover him with a quilt.
Two poor little guys, you can sleep here in peace, and with me in the future, you won't be bullied again.
Cheng Nuo has decided to accept these two little guys, of course, not to adopt, but to adopt them as students to cultivate.
He is not Zhuge Kongming, if he can't do everything, he must do everything himself, what he can do is to continue to cultivate students to expand the team, and then use future knowledge to point them out, and when they all become bigwigs in all walks of life and have the right to speak, he can be justified as a scholar.
Looking at the two, Cheng Nuo even thought about what they would study: one to study physics and the other to learn chemistry.
"Plus I myself am studying mathematics, how do I say that, I am not afraid to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry all over the world, and then join the engineering children, sell some innocuous patents to Lao Mei to earn some small money, and then find a good place to lay a good foundation and live together."
Thinking about it, Cheng Nuo couldn't help laughing, he was leaning on the chair in his clothes, and he didn't even know when he would fall asleep.
In his dream, he seemed to feel someone covering him, and then he heard a rustling sound.
Suddenly, Cheng Nuo jumped up from the chair at once, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be the sound of the little beggar wiping the table, and he was also covered with a blanket.
Seeing that Cheng Nuo woke up, the little beggar was also startled, thinking that he had woken him up, and hung his head and didn't dare to look at him.
Holding the blanket, Cheng Nuo walked to the little beggar and said gently: "Thank you for the blanket you gave me, you didn't make a mistake, you don't have to look like this." ”
Only then did the little beggar dare to raise his head and babble to indicate that it was what he should do, no thanks.
Cheng Nuo also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the two of them better, in case they were abducted and trafficked, in that case, the first thing to do was to find their parents for them, instead of keeping them by his side.
Two chairs were pulled from the side, he sat one for himself and then one for the little beggar, and asked softly: "I have something I want to ask you, you just need to answer yes or no, yes to no, no to shake your head, do you see it?" ”
The little beggar nodded his head, then shook his head.
This confused Cheng Nuo, and I didn't know what the other party meant.
Without waiting for him to ask, the little beggar ran straight to the table, pointed to the pen and paper, and then to himself.
Cheng Nuo was pleasantly surprised: "Meaning, you can write?" ”
In this Republic of China, where the average literacy rate in urban and rural areas does not exceed 20%, Cheng Nuo has already made a plan to teach little beggars from scratch, but he didn't expect to be literate, so he hurriedly said: "In this way, I ask, you will write." ”
Now the little beggar finally stopped shaking his head and nodded in agreement.
Through the text, Cheng Nuo learned that the little beggar's original name was Wen Cong, and the sick one was Wen Hui, the two of them were dragon and phoenix fetuses, twelve years old this year, and their home was on the edge of the Yellow River in Henan Province. The family was originally relatively wealthy, with a lot of Yellow River floodplains, which can be regarded as small landlords, because the brother and sister have been in private school for several years.
Unfortunately, the Yellow River flooded last summer, washing away their family, and their parents died to save their siblings.
Later, following the fleeing team, I was confused all the way, and I came to Beiping City.
In order to protect her sister, Wen Cong never let her beg, what she was afraid of was that she would be caught by traffickers and sold for money, and her tongue was also caught and burned with tongs when she went out to beg for food.
Talking about this, Wen Cong blamed himself, blaming himself for not protecting his sister well and making her sick.
Cheng Nuo stood up at this time and hugged Wen Cong: "As a man, you are already great, don't you say it, Lao Li and I don't know that it was a girl until now, and the rest is not your fault." ”
At this time, Wen Cong's psychological defense line finally collapsed, and the tears on his face were like bursting the embankment, crying loudly.
Gently patting his back, Cheng Nuo was also thinking about it while sighing.
There are now three people in the family, and it is not a matter to stay in the guest house all the time, not to mention crowded, privacy alone is a problem.
It's time to look at the house, and the engineering plan is also on the itinerary.
