212. Selling medicines
At this time, the Han family in Jingshi, Han Jingxi has been using the communication charm to contact Song Li since he woke up, but Song Li has not responded, and he is very anxious.
"Li'er won't have an accident, right?" Han Jingxi put away the communication charm, his face full of worry.
He woke up and found himself lying in the hospital, and asked the doctor to know that he had returned to Earth, so he immediately contacted Li'er, but Li'er never responded, he was quickly discharged from the hospital and returned to Beijing, sending someone to find Li'er's whereabouts, but it has been a few days, and Li'er still has no news.
"Li'er, where the hell are you?" Han Jingxi raised his eyes and looked out the window, with a tear glinting in his eyes. No matter where Li'er is, he'll find her.
The town is bustling with people coming and going.
Song Li carried a bamboo basket on her back and walked down the street, and finally she saw a Chinese medicine shop and walked towards it.
Walking into the Chinese medicine shop, a smell of medicine rushed to your face.
Song Li looked at the Chinese medicine shop, the area of this Chinese medicine shop is not very large, rows of medicine cabinets are placed against the wall, and the small drawers are in order, and the names of various Chinese medicines are pasted on them.
An old Chinese medicine doctor is sitting behind the counter, taking the pulse of the patient, and behind the patient there are several patients waiting to see a doctor, and two clerks are holding the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the old Chinese medicine doctor for the patient.
Song Li didn't come forward to disturb, walked to the side and waited.
At this time, a middle-aged woman led a little girl in, and it could be seen from the little girl's face that she had facial paralysis, and her mouth was crooked and her eyes were very slanted.
"Mom, I've done acupuncture several times, and it's still like this, how can I get married if it's always like this in the future?" The little girl's eyes were red, and there were tears in her eyes.
At the beginning, when I was paralyzed, my family had no money to see it, so I finally had money to go to the hospital to see a doctor, but the old Chinese medicine doctor in the hospital said that it was too long to see it, and the medical expenses of the hospital were still expensive. She felt distressed when she thought of the money that had been spent.
"This old Chinese medicine practitioner is well-known for his medical skills, and he will definitely be optimistic." Liu Chunhua also inquired in many ways and learned that there was an old Chinese medicine doctor with good medical skills in this pharmacy. And it's also much cheaper to see a doctor than a hospital.
The girl is now almost twenty years old, and the other girls in the village are all married at this age, only her daughter has no one to look at because of facial paralysis, which is sad for their family. You can't never marry your daughter all the time, and the family will raise her for the rest of your life.
As Liu Chunhua spoke, she noticed Song Li on the side, "Aren't you that distant relative of Su Xuefen's family?" You're coming to see a doctor, huh? ”
Song Li also recognized Liu Chunhua as a person from Hongxing Village and shook his head.
"Then what are you doing at the pharmacy?" Liu Chunhua heard that Lin Yuzhen and Mrs. He went to Su Xuefen to make trouble today, and they were all sent away by this ugly girl. It seems that this is also a powerful person.
Song Li pointed to his throat and shook his head.
Liu Chunhua then remembered that Song Li was a mute, pursed her lips, and turned her gaze away.
After seeing a few patients, the old Chinese medicine doctor looked at Song Li and saw that she didn't step forward, "Don't you see a doctor?" ”
Song Li shook her head and asked Liu Chunhua's mother and daughter to step forward.
Liu Chunhua took Xu Xiaoyan to the old Chinese medicine doctor and pointed to Xu Xiaoyan's face, "Doctor Yang, you can show my daughter if her facial paralysis can be cured." ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor glanced at Xu Xiaoyan's face, "How long has it been?" ”
"It's been more than a year."
The old Chinese medicine doctor frowned, "Why has it been delayed for so long?" ”
Liu Chunhua and Xu Xiaoyan showed a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
"Your facial paralysis has dragged on for too long, and it is unlikely that it will be completely cured, otherwise, you should prescribe a course of acupuncture first and see the effect."
"How much is a course of acupuncture?" Liu Chunhua is most concerned about this. Although there are some savings in the family now, the money is left for her son and grandson, and she is reluctant to spend too much on her daughter.
"Ten dollars a course of treatment."
"What? Ten dollars? ”
Liu Chunhua looked at Xu Xiaoyan's face and hesitated for a moment, "Xiaoyan, or we won't be cured." "Ten yuan, their family can't earn it for a month, and the eldest daughter-in-law will make trouble with her again when she finds out.
"Mom, I want to cure it." Xu Xiaoyan's eyes flashed with tears, and she looked at Liu Chunhua pleadingly. She dreamed that her face could be restored, and now no one in the village looked at her, and even the old bachelors in the village thought she was ugly. She didn't want to wear this face for the rest of her life.
"But it's ten dollars." Liu Chunhua thought about it and was still reluctant.
"Mom, I'll work hard to earn money, so you can pay for it for me." Xu Xiaoyan grabbed Liu Chunhua's arm tightly. She didn't want to give up even the slightest hope.
Liu Chunhua looked at the old Chinese medicine doctor, "Doctor Yang, can you treat half a course of treatment first?" ”
"Even one course of treatment may not be able to cure her face, and half a course of treatment will definitely not work." The old Chinese medicine doctor has also seen such patients, so there is no expression on his face.
He has seen people who regard money as more important than life, and if they get sick, they will only delay, and in the end, they will lose everyone.
"Then we're still dead." Liu Chunhua gave the old Chinese medicine doctor a consultation fee of five cents, and pulled Xu Xiaoyan away.
Xu Xiaoyan cried and refused to leave, and was finally dragged away by Liu Chunhua.
Song Li looked at this scene and shook her head speechlessly.
When there were no more patients, Song Li stepped forward and sat down in front of the old Chinese medicine doctor, she pointed to her throat, and then pointed to the paper and pen on the table.
The old Chinese medicine doctor immediately understood what Song Li meant, took a pen and paper and handed it to her.
Song Li smiled at the old Chinese medicine doctor and nodded, took the pen and paper, and wrote on the paper, "I have a decades-old Ganoderma lucidum here, and a bamboo leaf green snake, do you need it?" ”
After Song Li finished writing, he handed the paper to the old Chinese medicine doctor.
"Show me." The old Chinese medicine doctor had been wondering in his heart before, Song Li didn't come to the pharmacy to see a doctor or dispense medicine, but she didn't leave, and now she finally understands that she came to sell medicine.
Song Li took the bamboo basket from his back, took out a lingzhi from it, and handed it to the old Chinese medicine doctor.
The old Chinese medicine doctor took the Ganoderma lucidum and looked at it for a moment, "The quality of this Ganoderma lucidum is good, but the year is shorter, I will give you a maximum of fifty yuan, can you see it?" ”
Song Li nodded. It was about the same price she expected.
The old Chinese medicine doctor looked at the snake in the snakeskin bag again, "This snake will also give you fifty." ”
Song Li nodded in agreement.
The old Chinese medicine doctor asked the clerk to bring a hundred and hand it to Song Li.
Song Li took the money, thought about it, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper again, "I have a set of stitches here, a thousand yuan, do you need it?" ”
The old Chinese medicine doctor was drinking tea, and when he saw the content on the paper, he almost sprayed, "A thousand yuan and a set of acupuncture?" Little girl, you're too whimsical, aren't you? ”
Song Li picked up the pen and wrote again, "You can test it with your own eyes and then consider whether you want it." A set of stitches suddenly flashed through her mind, and she felt that the price of that set of stitches was far more than a thousand.
