Chapter 14: Awakening

The spoon touched the bottom of the bowl and made a crisp sound, scooped up half a spoonful of the liquid medicine, gently sent it to Bai Ruoqing's mouth, and broke his lips and teeth to let the liquid medicine flow into the stomach.

The process was very long, spoonful after spoonful, and it took half an hour for Chen Changsheng to put aside the empty bowl that had been fed the medicine.

The liquid medicine entered the abdomen, and the pain on Bai Ruoqing's face improved significantly.

"Thank you." Looking at Bai Ruoqing, whose face was gradually ruddy, Chen Changsheng was a little apologetic, took out Baiwen from his waist and handed it to his second sister-in-law.

"Save it, this is the first course of treatment, if you want to completely cure it, you need at least ten courses." The second sister-in-law took out her own fifty wen, and the doctor was benevolent, so she wanted to return the remaining money to Chen Changsheng.

"You don't have to exchange the money for me, sister-in-law, just give me medicine." Chen Changsheng wanted to push away the second sister-in-law's hand holding the money, but he felt that the force on the second sister-in-law's arm was a little heavier, and he forcibly broke Chen Changsheng's palm.

"This medicine must be dispensed on the same day, if it is one more day or one less day, the effect is a world of difference."

Chen Changsheng also saw a lot of prescriptions, most of them were herbs for five or six days at a time, but he had never seen such a strange prescription, and he was about to ask, when he heard a weak voice sound: "Where is this?" ”

Chen Changsheng didn't bother to ask, and hurriedly looked towards the bed.

I saw that Bai Ruoqing had already opened his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings suspiciously, and gradually focused his eyes on Chen Changsheng, who was looking at him, and said, "It's really troublesome for you to be saved by you again." ”

"The most important thing for a businessman is integrity, since you gave me money, I saved you." Listening to his sincere thanks, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but think of using Bai Ruoqing as a prop, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said things against his will.

Bai Ruoqing didn't see Chen Changsheng's abnormality and continued: "Anyway, thank you." ”

"Ahem!" The second aunt's cough from time to time broke the awkward conversation between the two and said, "Since you're awake, let's leave." ”

The sudden eviction order made Chen Changsheng's expression a little stiff, but he quickly regained his composure and discussed with the second aunt: "She is an injured person, isn't it a little bad to rush the patient directly, so I will go out to find a place to live first, how about I come to take her?" ”

"Okay." The second aunt thought for a long time before reluctantly responding.

"I'll be back soon." Chen Changsheng instructed Bai Ruoqing, who was lying on the bed, and left this exquisite wooden house.

With no burden in his heart, Chen Changsheng's mood relaxed a lot, and his eyes kept looking at the surrounding houses.

The bricks and tiles are not much inferior even to the towns, and there are trees in the courtyard that hang over the walls and on both sides of the road.

Half an hour passed, Chen Changsheng walked almost the entire village, and finally found a satisfactory courtyard at the west end of the village, quiet and small.

"Knock knock!" Chen Changsheng stood in front of the door in a regular manner, knocking on the door three times.

There was no movement in the courtyard for a long time, and his fingers were a little sore, just when Chen Changsheng was about to leave to find another place, an old man ran over from a distance on the village road in the east and shouted: "Are you trying to steal my things!" ”

As he spoke, the old man put his hands into a horn and called out to the villagers in the neighborhood.

"This is your courtyard? I want to rent for a few days. Chen Changsheng pointed to the courtyard with one hand, and took out a few copper coins with one hand to signal.

"It's okay, renter." The old man's voice came out of the old man's throat, hoarse and loud.

"If you want to live, you can live, no one lives anyway. The old man's voice was a little vicissitudes, and he took out a rusty iron key from his bosom.

After years of wind and rain, a layer of reddish-brown rust grew on the keyhole of the wooden door, and the key did not move as the iron key was inserted.

"How so?" The old man lowered his head in confusion, pulled out the key, blew on the keyhole, and pounded again.

Listening to the clattering and writhing sound, the old man's face was left with beads of sweat, and the green tendons on his shriveled hands burst out.

"I'll do it." Chen Changsheng opened the old man's struggling palm, held the end of the key that still had residual warmth, and exerted his strength violently.

The key was easily twisted along Chen Changsheng's movements, and with a "click", the wooden door made a screeching sound and slowly opened inward.

The door opened, and Chen Changsheng was able to see the scene inside.

Behind the door is a quaint little building, which has no problems other than the dust that has been accumulated for many years.

In front of the small building is a small bamboo forest and a bluestone table, which looks particularly elegant.

"If you're satisfied, you can take the key, and give it back to me when you're leaving." The old man's voice came, and Chen Changsheng, who was obsessed with observing the surrounding voice, came back to his senses and said, "I'm so satisfied, thank you." ”

"It's good to be satisfied." The old man turned his back and walked back as he spoke, and said silently from an angle that Chen Changsheng couldn't see: "If he was still alive, he should be so old." ”

The old man gradually moved away, and Chen Changsheng stepped into the courtyard and cleaned up.

"Such a good courtyard must be very expensive, when I get better, I will earn money to pay you back." Bai Ruoqing, who was lying on the bed in the small building, looked at the bamboo forest in the courtyard through the open door, turned his head to look at Chen Changsheng who was sitting on the edge of the bed and said.

"Well, then you must pay me back." Chen Changsheng looked at the sunset gradually left outside the window, and responded lightly.

It's always good to leave a little thought.

"Go to sleep." The sunset completely submerged into the mountains, and it was getting late, Chen Changsheng locked the wooden door, and pressed his things against the door, and said to Bai Ruoqing, who had his eyes open.

Saying that, Chen Changsheng was already lying in a corner of the small building that was covered with thatch by himself.

"Hmm." Bai Ruoqing, who was lying on the bed in the dark, answered, and the room fell into a deathly silence.

"How much will it cost me to be cured?" In the dark and silent room, Bai Ruoqing's voice suddenly sounded.

"You have to know what this is for, I'm afraid that I can't afford to be sold by me, don't worry, I'm not going to be a trafficker."

"No, I just want to know how much it will cost, is that little piece of broken silver I gave you enough?" Bai Ruoqing's words were a little unspeakable, but he continued: "I always think you are a very shrewd person, but I don't know why you are stupid to do something unworthy this time? ”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng, who has been in the mall for many years, and his heart is like steel, didn't know how to answer, and the insignificant "I used you as a bait but I never said it", he could only say in a hearty voice, "Sleep, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow." ”

This voice was very harsh, so frightened that Bai Ruoqing didn't dare to ask anything more, so he could only close his eyes and wait for the quiet like a dream.

Chen Changsheng looked up at the beams and pillars on the roof of the building, not knowing what to think about.
