2. The scramble for the eel king
"Lao He Wang" is not very far from the courtyard of the old invalids, Hao Gang can already see Shen Daxia's fat figure patrolling the side of "Lao He Wang" in the courtyard of the old invalids, and in the distance are a few gangsters walking towards Shen Daxia. Everything is the same as in memory, in a few minutes, Shen Daxia will be lying on the ground screaming, and the harpoon in the gangster's hand will be stuck in Shen Daxia's heels.
Hao Gang cheered up, and there was no longer a feeling of vomiting in his chest, and he rushed towards Shen Daxia with all his strength. Hao Gang prayed in his heart while running: run faster, hope it will be time.
Shen Daxia lowered his head and carefully observed the aquatic weeds and mud marks at the water's edge, since he and Hao Gang inadvertently found the huge "eel king" here, he and Hao Gang have been preparing for several days, if it wasn't for Hao Gang's delay in the high school entrance examination, the eel king would have been captured by the two of them.
The gangsters were closer to Shen Daxia than Hao Gang, and Shen Daxia's mind was on the water's edge, and because of the partition of a piece of corn, he didn't pay attention to the few gangsters who came from afar. can be called a gangster, he is definitely not a good person, and he must be extremely curious about some strange signs, Shen Daxia's actions at the water's edge naturally can't escape the eyes of the gangsters, they know that the stupid fat man must have found something good.
In the long-standing legend, "Lao He Wang" is mysterious and eerie. Legend has it that when the road was built in Tashan Village, a big vat was dug out in the ground by this pond, and the people who knew the goods said that this vat was the coffin of the monk who had attained the Tao, called the sitting tank, and the descendants mentioned this place again and deliberately called the old and the vat, and it became "Lao and Wang" after shouting for a long time.
Because of this eerie legend, most people are reluctant to come close here, Hao Gang is not afraid, and often takes Shen Daxia to play here. Hao Gang has a piece of bluestone, which was picked up by the side of "Lao He Wang", crystal clear, warm and delicate, the old invalids said that this is jade, let Hao Gang put it under the bed and raise it well. Shen Daxia has been blushing at Hao Gang's stone for a long time, as long as he has time, he always has to take Hao Gang to Wangbian to look for a while, and this is how the eel king found out.
Hao Gang, who was running, saw that Shen Daxia had already raised his body, holding a struggling eel in his hand, and put it in the bag excitedly. The gangsters also saw the eel, if it was usually this matter would have passed, the children in the countryside who have not gone into the water to catch shrimp and touch fish, but this is a big yellow eel, it seems that it must have passed two catties, and the two-pound yellow eel can be called the eel king.
If it weren't for the village doctor who offered 100 yuan to buy more than a pound of eel king, a few people who usually steal chickens and dogs would not be bored enough to run to this gloomy place, but also thought that this place was remote, and felt that if there was an eel king in Tashan Village, it could only come from here.
A yellow eel in the eyes of Shen Daxia, in the eyes of a few people with a small waist, it is not a fish, but a pile of writhing banknotes, seeing that there is only Shen Daxia, he immediately has the idea of grabbing a handful, and after grabbing it, it is nothing more than fighting, as a gangster, who is afraid of fighting.
Shen Daxia, who turned around, also saw the ill-intentioned little waist, pouted and ignored it, and walked in the direction of the old invalids' small courtyard with the bag. Xiao Waist blocked Shen Daxia's way with a harpoon, and the other person also saw Hao Gang, who was not far away, and greeted him, the situation was two against three.
Shen Daxia is prepared to catch the eel king, and the yellow eel is worth it when it is alive, so he takes the net pocket, and the small waist is here to try his luck, plus he is afraid of this place, and he is holding a harpoon, Shen Daxia, who has no guy in his hand, feels that he can't beat it, so he wants to run, and the small waist raises the harpoon, "If you dare to run, I will dare to fork a few holes in you." ”
Shen Daxia believed that Xiao Waist had done it, and Xiao Xiao had not done something similar, and the remaining gangsters came over excitedly and prepared to tear off the bag in Shen Daxia's hand, with greed flashing in his eyes. The thug didn't pull the bag in Shen Daxia's hand, Shen Daxia took a step back and smiled at the small waist, Hao Gang had already stood beside Shen Daxia, still two to three, but Shen Daxia was not afraid, because Hao Gang came.
Of course Xiaoxiao knows Hao Gang, as a scholar in Tashan Village, Hao Gang's reputation is very loud, Xiaoxiao knows that things will not go as he wishes, but he still wants to try. "Hao Gang, you give me something, I'll buy it for 20 yuan, I have an emergency."
"I'm sorry, this eel is worth 100 yuan, and I want to take 100 yuan." Hao Gang now knows the news of Dr. Tu's reward, originally after Shen Daxia's accident, Xiao Waist robbed the Eel King and hurt people A lot of trouble, Xiao Waist fled for many years. There is no good stubble in Tashan Village, if it is just broken skin and bleeding in the fight, no one thinks that it is a big deal, but if it causes trouble and hurts people and causes disability, it is to exchange a leg, and even the parents of the small waist dare not have an opinion on this exchange. But so what, Shen Daxia's health can't be replaced.
Seeing the small waist that was still eager to try, Hao Gang patted the waist of his pants, and the appearance of the gun could be seen inside.
Xiao Waist finally didn't dare to bet.
It's no secret that there are still privately hidden guns in the countryside in '86, and Xiaoxiao has played with it himself. Seeing Hao Gang, who had a tough attitude, the three of them retreated, wanting to turn around and leave.
Hao Gang didn't want to let it go, "Dare to go to Shanqian Village to make trouble, and want to leave without leaving something?" "Hao Gang is Shanqian Village, Xiaoxiao is Shanhou Village, although they both belong to Tashan Village, but they are far away from each other and are not close to each other.
Xiao Waist turned his face back again, "What do you want?" ”
"Either keep the harpoon, or bet I won't dare shoot." The face of the small waist was flushed, and the harpoon in his hand was shaken and clenched, and finally put it on the ground, "Okay, let's go." ”
The first word was said to Hao Gang, and the latter sentence was said to his accomplices, without even saying a cruel word. People who are used to being ruthless believe that others will be as ruthless as themselves, and Xiaoyin believes that Hao Gang can do it.
Shen Daxia looked at the small waist who had walked away with the bag, and asked Hao Gang with a smile: "What do you want him to do with a fishing fork?" ”
Hao Gang looked at Shen Daxia's heels, "This murder weapon is not in my hands, I don't worry." ”
"How is this handled?" Shen Daxia asked Hao Gang with the bag.
"Exchange money, and I'll take you out into town." Shen Daxia, who has never been to Haichuan, told Hao Gang that his second biggest wish at present is to go to the city, and his first wish is, of course, to be a hero.
It's all Hao Gang's harm. When Hao Gang found "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" from a picked up "Wulin" magazine, Shen Daxia never stopped. In order to practice martial arts, Shen Daxia once made three plans: preparing to go to Shaolin Temple to become a monk, preparing to go to Inner Mongolia to find the seven sons of Jiangnan, and preparing to go to middle school to learn Teacher Liang's martial arts.
In order to be able to steal Mr. Liang's martial arts, Shen Daxia, who has always been lazy, has insisted on getting up early for a long time, and every morning Hao Gang is still a little sleepy, listening to Shen Daxia's bold words in his ears.
Teacher Liang would practice martial arts there on the playground every day. Teacher Liang's name is Liang Zedong, it is said that he is a martial arts family, there are several students in the class with good grades, and he is deeply loved by Teacher Liang, so he accepted them as "apprentices", and took them to learn routines every morning, playing boxing and playing sticks, attracting many students to steal teachers. Teacher Liang teaches routines in fact, but there are rumors in Tashan that stealing teachers will be gouged out and chopped off, so he doesn't dare to blatantly look at it, so he can only sneak down on the side of the playground wall to steal learning, which also causes the fat Shen Daxia to always cower like a thief now. There are people every day by the broken wall of the playground, but the people who come every day are almost different, and there are really not many people who can have the perseverance to persevere. Hao Gang doesn't need to steal the teacher, Teacher Liang has secretly taught Hao Gang a lot of things, Shen Daxia can't do it, at least so far, he hasn't learned anything.
Dr. Tu not only has the surname Tu, but also practices medicine with Tu, which are all folk secret recipes that are not working when they are not working. However, the medical level of the doctors in Tashan Village and even Haichuan Hospital is really not high, and since many diseases cannot be cured by the hospital, patients report the idea of dead horses to Dr. Tu, which makes Dr. Tu also have a great reputation. This time it was a very wealthy person in Haichuan City who was looking for a soil doctor, and it was said that he was rich and unkind, but he got sick and spent a lot of money in the hospital, but he didn't get better, so he asked for a local doctor. The price of the soil doctor is not high, and he can cure 200 yuan, but he can't cure 100 yuan, in fact, this 100 yuan is the money to buy the eel king. Dr. Tu's abacus is very shrewd, he earns a hundred if he is cured, and there is no loss if he is not cured, no wonder people outside say that there are no stupid people in Tashan Village.
When Hao Gang and Shen Daxia walked to Dr. Tu's house, they saw Dr. Tu seeing off a young man with a smile on his face, and a little voice came from the wind, "... Don't do it. ”
"What did he say don't do it?" Shen Daxia has always been fast-talking, and he didn't care about the sad face of the soil doctor, and pointed to the distant figure and asked.
"You can't buy a suitable yellow eel for a hundred yuan, and the eel king can't cure that person's illness without weighing more than a pound." Doctor Tu seems to be a little sure, and he also knows that he should choose an eel king of less than a catty, and sure enough, the diseases that were cured before were not all due to luck.
Shen Daxia grinned and raised the bag in his hand, "Bring a hundred yuan, the Eel King has found it for you." Doctor Tu stretched out his head to look at it, and was overjoyed, and handed Shen Daxia ten sheets of unity.
Hao Gang pointed to the eel king and said to Doctor Tu, "Do you want to use this to treat that family's facial paralysis?"
Dr. Tu was surprised and asked, "How do you know?" ”
"Guess."
"Can you guess so accurately? I don't believe it. Dr. Tu didn't believe Hao Gang's words at all, and without a certain foundation in traditional Chinese medicine, it was impossible to guess facial paralysis just from King Eel.
This speculation surprised Dr. Tu, there were still people in the poor countryside of Tashan who could know the principle of home remedies, and he was immediately impressed by Hao Gang, and his attitude was much better.
Hao Gang definitely won't tell the truth to Doctor Tu, he still has to fool Doctor Tu to take them into the city. Shilin Group originally had an employee who was paralyzed and had been treated for a long time, but later he was cured with a home remedy for yellow eel, because it was rare, so Hao Gang remembered it very clearly.
"You're not sure you're going to be cured, are you?" Hao Gang felt that Dr. Tu should not be sure enough to cure the patient, and if he was completely sure, he would not pin his hopes on the eel king. Whether it is an ordinary yellow eel or an eel king, the treatment principle of facial paralysis is the same, but the efficacy of the eel king is a little stronger.
Doctor Tu was silent, Hao Gang said to the point, he is not a real doctor, just to make a living, he stubbornly copied a few ancestral home remedies to treat people, and when he encountered a changed environment, he didn't know how to be flexible.
"Take me, I might be able to help."
