Chapter 69: A Familiar Scene

It is said that Rong Fei has been busy investigating the case in recent days, or going out early and returning late or even not returning all night, Yu Qingzhi in the courtyard next door is addicted to Tai Chi and can't extricate himself, Ji Rouer is really bored alone.

It's been a while since I came to Kyoto, but I've only had a rough look on the first day, so I thought I'd go out for a stroll and see the bustling scene of Kyoto.

Xuanwu Hutong is heavily guarded, and there are few people around. Out of Xuanwu Hutong through two narrow alleys, to a long street running north-south, the atmosphere is suddenly changed.

In the book, he used to use shoulder to shoulder and sweat like rain to describe the lively and prosperous scene, but Ji Rouer, who came to the long street, had a deeper understanding of these two words at this moment.

The clothes worn by people in Kyoto are also bolder than those in the remote city of Fencheng, and the colors are even more colorful. The shops at both ends of the long street are lined up one after another, and the sound of shouting and selling comes and goes. The types of goods sold in the shops and stalls are even richer, and most of them are things that Ji Rouer has never seen or heard of.

Without Yu Qingzhi accompanying her this time, Ji Rouer was less restrained, and she wanted to walk through the crowd like a curious baby, looking east and west to see if she was happy. I was happy to walk around and watch, but I saw a large crowd of people crowded in front of me, and there were quarrels and shouts coming from the crowd.

", don't affect my family's business."

"I beg you, I kneel and kowtow to you, please be merciful and save my mother-in-law. There are also two nursing babies at home, and they can't live without their mothers. Officials, you are gracious! ”

"We are doing business when we open the door, and it is natural to collect money for treatment, you poor ghost can't take out the money to save your mother-in-law, but instead you beat a rake and said that I don't save you when you die, how can there be such a truth in the world. If everyone is a scoundrel like you, I can't do it in this hospital. ”

"Daguan, my mother-in-law has been treated by you for a month, don't say it's money, even the house is worth to you, I'm already bankrupt, you can't say just don't care."

The noise didn't last long before the sound stopped, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Ji Rou'er stepped forward curiously, only to see a man in his forties kneeling in front of a medical hall called Qiancaotang and kowtowing incessantly, and there was a woman with a sallow face and a gossamer lying on the ground next to the man.

In front of the medical hall stood a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, open-chested and shirtless, waiting for the kowtow man. Passers-by looked at the man with sympathy or schadenfreude.

Ji Rouer was just outside the crowd, although she only heard a few words, she also understood the general situation of the matter.

It is nothing more than that the man's wife is seriously ill, and she has spent all her family wealth but has not been cured. Fearing the death of his wife, the man prayed for the hospital's kindness to provide free medical treatment.

Even though the couple is pitiful, the hospital is not wrong. The clinic is also a business, and it is also to make money to support the family.

Ji Rou'er was compassionate by the man's sobbing and banging kowtow, and walked up to the man and whispered.

"Don't be sad about this eldest brother, the little woman has studied medicine for several years, if the eldest brother can trust it, can you let the little woman see the symptoms for her sister-in-law."

"Ahh Girl, you... Can you? ”

Hearing this, the man turned his head to look at Ji Rou'er, with a look of surprise and suspicion.

The strong man guarding the gate of the infirmary sneered and glanced at Ji Rou'er with disdain.

"Is there any other way Big Brother?"

Ji Rouer asked with a smile.

The man was stunned, if he had any other way, he wouldn't be embarrassed here.

Now if you can't take out the money, you will definitely not be able to step into the door of Qiancaotang, in this case, it is better to try your luck and let this girl take a look, anyway, it is just to see, and it is not bad.

The man suddenly brightened up, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to Ji Rou'er.

"So... Excuse me, girl. ”

With the man's permission, Ji Rou'er then moved lightly to the woman lying on the ground and squatted down, brushed away the messy hair that covered the woman's face, carefully observed her complexion and tongue coating, and asked the man what symptoms his wife had, what diagnosis Lang Zhong of Qiancaotang had made, what medicinal soup he had taken, and so on.

"I... I don't understand, my mother-in-law will drink whatever Lang Zhong catches. It is also said that it is tuberculosis, and you must take medicine every day to survive, otherwise... Just..."

The man sobbed again.

Hearing that the man mentioned the word tuberculosis, Ji Rou'er's face became extremely ugly, but she didn't have the first seizure, grabbed the woman's wrist and began to check the pulse.

After checking the pulse, Ji Rouer already had a plan in her heart, took out the needle bag she was carrying from her arms, picked out one and pierced it between the woman's chest and abdomen.

"Oops... Girl, you only said that you would see the disease, but you didn't say that you would give the needle. ”

When the man saw this, he was a little anxious, and he was in a hurry to stop him.

At this time, the surrounding pedestrians also noticed this, and suddenly surrounded a circle of people, pointing and discussing.

Ji Rou'er was fast, and the silver needle had already pierced into the woman's body when the man spoke.

The man was suddenly a little annoyed and pushed Ji Rouer down.

"Ahem... Ahem..."

At this time, the woman, who had fallen into a coma like a gossamer, suddenly coughed continuously, and the cough became more and more severe, and she actually sat up with her arms and continued to cough.

The man didn't care about Ji Rou'er, and hurriedly patted his wife on the back.

"Ahem... Ahem... Vomit..."

The more the woman coughed, the more fierce she became, and after coughing, she vomited a large mouthful of yellow, green, and red phlegm.

After coughing up thick phlegm, the woman made a soothing sound, and her eyes, which had been closed, opened.

"Huh! I woke up. ”

Some passers-by were surprised.

Hearing this, the man hurriedly turned to his wife, and sure enough, when he saw that his wife had woken up, his eyes looked around a little blankly, and he muttered a question.

"Where is this, why are they looking at me?"

"How does it feel, it's a little better."

The man didn't care to answer his wife, and asked about his condition urgently.

"My body is much lighter, my breathing is smoother, and my mind is not foggy."

The woman let out a sigh of relief, her face visibly flushed, and replied clearly.

"God forbid! God willing, wow! ”

The man knelt down with his hands folded and kowtowed to heaven in thanksgiving.

"You are so ignorant, it is obvious that the little girl rescued you as a lady, why don't you thank people, but thank God. I haven't seen God prescribe medicine or injections to your lady before. ”

"If it weren't said that the poor must have something to hate, such foolish people deserve to die."

The crowd of onlookers couldn't get used to the man's behavior, and they made accusations one after another, sneering.

Only then did the man come back to his senses, remembering that he had pushed the little girl down in a hurry just now, and his face was even more red with shame, and he hurriedly turned around to help Ji Rou'er.

Ji Rou'er had already stood up by herself, dodged the man's hands stretched out to support her, went to the woman's side to check the signs, and asked how she felt now, but after a few questions about what was uncomfortable, she could take a look at her sore palms that were sand and gravel on the ground.

Fortunately, the skin did not break, and the pain gradually subsided. Ji Rouer dusted off the dust on the hem of her skirt, and then asked the man.

"Sister-in-law has a fever disease?"

"Yes, I had a fever a month ago, and my whole body burned red, and I almost burned to death. Later, it was the mother-in-law next door who told me to wrap the quilt and cover my sweat, and then I came back to life. But within a few days, this even more fatal tuberculosis occurred again, why is our family so miserable. ”

The man felt shameless and faced Ji Rou'er, lowered his head and kept silent, but the woman who was still in much better spirits replied.

"That's it. Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, you didn't have tuberculosis at all, but when you had a fever before, you didn't handle it properly, and the yang fire was accumulated in the lungs, and the qi was blocked by phlegm to cause a coma. The next time you have a fever, don't force yourself to sweat again, you are lucky this time, otherwise you will really die. ”

Ji Rouer said earnestly.

"Sister, my illness is cured?"

The woman asked, with a smile on her face.

"How can it be so easy, just now I just applied needles to dredge the qi orifice, but the yang fire that has accumulated in my lungs has not yet dissipated. I tell me a prescription, you go back and grab the medicine according to the prescription, and you will be cured in three to five days. ”

After that, Ji Rouer dictated the prescription and said it to the woman.

"It's... This old name of the drug, how to remember. ”

The woman is embarrassed.

"Get out of the way, Lao Dao has a pen and paper here, and the girl can write it down."

An old Taoist priest who set up a stall on the street to tell fortunes squeezed through the crowd and invited Ji Rouer to write prescriptions on his stall.

Ji Rouer thanked the old Taoist Yingying, and went to the stall to write down the prescription and give it to the woman, and told her some precautions.

The woman was now able to stand up and walk slowly, and learned from the crowd of onlookers what her man had done before, so she was so angry that she almost fainted again, and pointed at the man and scolded.

"You dog who has suffered a thousand cuts, the girl is kind enough to save me, not only do you not thank you, but you also push people with a wolf heart and dog lungs."

After scolding, he grabbed the man's ears and pulled them in front of Ji Rouer, and asked him to kneel and kowtow to apologize.

The man was not ambiguous, he knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word.

Ji Rou'er hurriedly dodged to the side.

"Girl..."

The woman took Ji Rou'er's hand, her face was full of guilt, and she stopped talking.

"Sister-in-law, don't mind, I said that I just helped, and I didn't charge for the consultation."

The empathetic Ji Rouer guessed the woman's mind and said with relief.

After thanking her for her kindness, the woman took the prescription and left by the ears of her father-in-law.

Ji Rouer looked at the backs of the two and smiled slightly, and was about to leave when a little beggar suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

The little beggar rushed to Ji Rou'er without speaking, and knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed.

Ji Rou'er didn't care about the dirtiness of the little beggar, and asked softly on his shoulder.

"Do you want to see a doctor too?"

"Aba, Aba, Aba..."

The little beggar nodded again and again, making a meaningless strange sound in his mouth, and gestured at Ji Rou'er with both hands.

Only then did Ji Rouer see that the little beggar had only half a tongue left in his mouth, and it turned out to be a mute.

When she was practicing medicine in Fencheng, Ji Rouer had come into contact with deaf and mute people, and knew some simple sign language, so she used sign language to ask the little beggar whether to see a doctor by himself or to treat others.

When the little beggar saw that Ji Rouer could use sign language, he immediately cried with joy, and his tears couldn't stop staying.

While crying, he replied in sign language that his sister had been stung by a scorpion, and then stood up and waved his hand outside the crowd, shouting Abba Aba.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and soon a passage was made to see another little beggar running over with a little girl with a messy hair.

Ji Rou'er's eyes instantly became a little trance.
