On this day, a patient came to the Hou Dashi Tuina Clinic in the North Gate of Puqi County, with a painful expression. Hou Dashi was looking at the pair of swollen wrists that Hu Xiangcai was stretching out to him on the stretcher, and he squeezed it heavily with his hand that only had a little effort, Hu Xiangcai frowned, "ouch" and called pain.

Hou Dashi let go of his hand and stopped pinching it for the time being, and asked: What caused it?

Hu Xiangcai replied, I don't know. I slept at home all night, and woke up like this morning.

Father Hu was so anxious that he raised his foot and stomped lightly, saying that this was really a strange thing.

Hou Dashi pondered for a moment and said, if you don't talk about the cause, this disease has become a strange disease.

Hu Xiangcai's body trembled and said, not only did my wrists swell, but my back also hurt hotly, as if I had been beaten, but no one came to our house last night.

Hu Decai and Hu Micai also stood next to the stretcher and watched, looking lonely to each other.

Hu Xiangcai looked up at the two of them and said, If it weren't for this strange thing, the two of you would collect the ramie money with me, and you should give it today.

Hu Micai and Hu Decai also expressed their understanding. They said, "Don't talk about it, let's talk about it when you're cured!"

Father Hu said, "I'm sorry for you, I wanted to ask two strong people in the village to help me carry Xiangcai here on a stretcher to treat the disease, but you two played well with him and were willing to do it for you, so I carried him from so far away from the village."

Hu Micai said, this is nothing? It should be.

Hu Decai said, I and Mi Cai are not considered powerful men?!

Father Hu said, yes! When the time comes, the wages for your stretchers will make the man who wants money well, and let him give you the money for the ramie business when he divides it among you.

Hu Micai smiled shallowly and said yes.

Hu Decai nodded at Hu's father.

At this moment, Hou Dashi came around and lifted Hu Xiangcai's back to see that there were blood marks on it, which made him feel very strange.

Hudas said, "It's like a stick." went around to Hu Xiangcai again, stared at him and asked, did you be beaten like this last night, and you didn't know anything about it?

Hu Xiangcai shook his head and said, I don't know, I woke up and felt pain in my body and back, especially in my wrists.

Hou Dashi said that unless you take anesthetic, you won't know the pain when someone beats you.

Hu Xiangcai said, I was a good person last night, can I take anesthetic? No one gave me the anesthetic at all. Even if I give me anesthetic, I won't take it.

A strange smile crossed Hou Dashi's face, and then he said, this is the first strange thing I have encountered in my more than 20 years of doing massage. As a rule, swollen joints in the hands and feet indicate that there is blood in the cortex, and it should be sucked out with a suction tube or cupping, otherwise it will not get better. If I use a suction tube with you to suck blood, I wonder if it will be okay? Because your disease is a special case.

Father Hu said, Hou Dashi, you should give him a suction tube according to the old rules of diagnosis and treatment of this disease!

Hou Dashi looked at Hu Xiangcai's swollen wrists like buns, blinked his eyes and said, you can't use the suction tube now, and you can't use the suction tube until 12 hours later. Now it doesn't work with the suction tube, and the bloodshot wrists will still be engorged.

Father Hu said, then there is only waiting. He looked at Hu Decai and Hu Micai and said, you two go back first! so that you may not be delayed, and you will always be waiting here.

Hu Decai said, then we will go first. Then he walked out of the clinic

When Hu Micai left, he turned around by a large margin, and even tripped over a pennant hanging on the wall with the words "Reincarnation Huatuo is magical" under the wall, he bent down quickly to pick it up, and said to Hou Dashi, I'm sorry...... And hung it on the wall again, but it couldn't be hung up, and it turned out that one of the nails that fixed the pennant on the wall was loose.

Hou Dashi took the pennant from Hu Micai and said, forget it, don't worry about it, I'll hang it.

Hu Decai looked at Hu Micai and said, You are too reckless to walk.

Hu Micai walked out of the door of the clinic without saying a word, only to see a bitter smile with apologies on his face.

A few days later, Hu Xiangcai's mother was the only one in Hu Xiangcai's house in Hujiazhuang, and she went to her son Hu Xiangcai's wing room from time to time to take care of it, and the most cared for was of course the earthen urn, because it contained copper coins.

This time she walked into the wing room and directly opened the lid of the earthen urn, and looked in by the light of the window, and found that there were not many copper coins inside, and the copper coins covered the bottom of the earthen urn reluctantly.

Hu Mu reached out to the earthen urn and touched a copper coin to come out, shook it a few times in front of her eyes, and said to herself, alas, it was originally full of copper coins at the beginning, but now there is only this left. All this money allowed Xiangcai to be cured, but his wrists were not good, and he is still being treated in the city, but he has changed clinics.

Suddenly hearing the footsteps outside the window, Hu's mother covered the urn lid, and walked out of the wing room to see, Hu's father just walked into the hall and came towards the wing.

Mother Hu asked, is the child's father coming back to get the money?

Father Hu replied, yes! If you don't take money, will Lang Zhong treat Xiang Cai?

Hu's mother said, now that I have changed to a clinic for bruises, how is this beater?

Father Hu's eyes looked at her melancholy, and said that it was a little stronger, and the Hou Dashi at the north gate only gave a few suction tubes to the wrist of Xiang Cai, and sucked out some bruises, and his condition did not improve at all. Now when I go to Liu Dashi's clinic in the south gate, it seems that the back scars on Xiangcai have been healed, and there are scabs on them. But his wrists still didn't improve. The first two times I gave him 4,000 hanging money, today I said that I took 500 hanging money.

Hu Mu said, there is not much money in the urn!

Father Hu said, I know, there must be 500 hanging money. Speaking of this, he walked into the wing room and went straight to the earthen urn, reached out to open the lid, grabbed a few handfuls of copper coins in it, counted for a while, made up 500 hangs, and then reached into the earthen urn and touched it, and said dejectedly, there are still 4 hangings left, what a hell!

Hu Mu said that if Liu Dashi wants you to take money tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it will not be enough.

Father Hu put 500 hanging money into the waist jacket, he said, if it is not enough, he has to use Lao Tzu's money.

Hu's mother said that she heard her son say that the 8,000 hanging money in this earthen urn was the money he earned by teaming up with the wealthy and wealthy brothers under the house to collect hemp, and now it has been spent, what should the son do if he has no money to share with them?

Father Hu said that if they talk nonsense, I, as a father, have to take out a little of my savings to compensate them appropriately. Then he turned around and went out, and then turned back to his wife and said, I will rush to Liu Dashi's clinic at the south gate of the county to take care of my son.

Hu Mu made a gesture and said, you go, you go, don't delay. Seeing that her wife crossed the threshold of the hall, only a distant back appeared, and she said sadly that her son suffered from this strange disease overnight, which made his dozens of years old father busy, and the money was spent, and the wrists were not cured.

At this time, the god of the family appeared in front of Hu Mu and said that this was retribution.

The door god jumped down from the gate and said, family god, what are you talking to Hu's mother, she is a human being, you are a god, although you stand in front of her, because of the different activity spaces you feel, even if her speech and demeanor, you can feel it, and your speech and demeanor, she is in the dark, neither heard nor seen.

The family god said, yes, I sympathize with this old man, but there is nothing I can do to help them.

And the god of the door said, "No one can help them, and their sons are guilty of great sins, and deserve this recompense."

Mother Hu walked around the room and kept chattering, people were afraid of strange diseases, strange diseases for a lifetime, and money was empty.

The god of the family said, Brother Door God, this old mother does not understand how his son's strange illness is born.

The door god said that she was mortal with the naked eye, of course, of course, it was not clear that his son was because he participated in the case of a group of strongmen robbing a boat of soybeans on the Chibi River and killing a family of seven who were escorting goods on the boat.

Generally, the wrist swelling and pain caused by bruises and injuries can be easily cured by the beater or Langzhong, but the wrist swelling and pain caused by the Yin Si torture cannot be cured unless it is treated by Yin doctors. Mo said that it costs nearly 8,000 hanging money now, and even if it costs 80,000 hanging money, it can't be cured.

And the god of the house said, Yes. Now it costs nearly 8,000 hanging money, and this number is also a certain number of retribution for Hu Xiangcai. Do you know? Hu Xiangcai invited Hu Decai and Hu Micai brothers to do ramie business, and set up a ring to steal more than 2,000 catties of ramie from a pair of ancient old people's homes.

Isn't it? At present, Hu Xiangcai's wrist is swollen and painful and needs to be treated, and the 8,000 hanging money is basically spent. It seems that the murderous wealth cannot be kept, although Hu Decai and Hu Micai, who are involved in doing business and cheating people, although they have no pain or illness, they also can't get this murderous wealth.

The door god said, it is said that Hu Xiangcai's back also has scars from whipping, why is it almost healed now?

The family god replied, the whipping is not bad, if it is powerful, no matter how high the Yang doctor's medical skills are, it will not be cured.
