Lao Wang saw that Ma Wen was so sure, so he believed him a little, after all, who is not afraid of death?

After dinner, the three of them rented a carriage and rushed to Xiangyang City, usually Lao Wang went to Xiangyang to move goods to take about an hour, this carriage was much faster than manpower, less than half an hour to Xiangyang City.

Lao Wang knew that the dock workers were usually injured, and the overseer would take them to the Renchangtang Medical Center in the south of the city for treatment, so Lao Wang asked Ma Wen to go all the way to the south of the city.

After a while, Renchangtang arrived, and Ma Wen helped Lao Wang to walk in.

"Doctor, doctor, help me see," Ma asked

The doctor walked out with a smile, and when he saw the doctor's goatee and skinny, he said, "Please do the three."

The doctor said, "It must be an old man who is going to see a doctor, right?"

Ma asked, "The doctor has good eyesight and good medical skills."

The doctor said, "You're welcome, what are the main symptoms?"

Lao Wang said, "Cough, mainly coughing, vomiting blood as soon as I cough, chest pain"

The doctor checked the pulse, touched Lao Wang's chest, looked at the blood he vomited, then shook his head and said, "Which one is a family member?

At this time, Atsui stood up and said, "I'm his daughter."

The doctor said, "Okay, come here."

At this time, Ma Wen also followed, and the doctor said, "The patient is here just now, it is inconvenient to say, you go back to be better for the old man, and get more delicious food and drink."

Atsui was surprised and said, "What do you mean?"

The doctor said, "The old man has a severe pulmonary accumulation and is unable to return to heaven."

After hearing this, Acui was suddenly angry, and she was a little swaying, Ma Wen hurriedly helped Acui up, and whispered, "Don't let Uncle see it"

The doctor nodded and said, "The young man has filial piety."

At this time, Ma asked, "Doctor, how much time is left?"

The doctor said, "If you don't care about anything, it's only a few days better, not more than ten days."

Atsui immediately grabbed the doctor's hand and said, "Doctor, please think of a way."

The doctor gently pushed away Atsui's hand and said, "I'm sorry, even if Hua Tuo is alive, there is nothing he can do about it."

Then the doctor said, "However, we can find a way to continue for a while."

Atsui said, "Okay, how to continue?"

The doctor said, "Dispense medicine and drink, but I said ugly things ahead, this medicine is very expensive, after all, it is a continuation of life, you think about it"

Atsui didn't think about it, and directly agreed and said, "Okay, let's buy it"

The doctor said, "I'll prescribe a prescription for you."

After a while, the doctor brought a prescription and saw that it read: nightshade, almond, banxia, kelp, curcuma and many other Chinese herbs.

Seeing this, Ma Wen was just some ordinary medicinal materials, not very expensive, but when he paid the money, he was surprised, the money on his body was almost not enough, and the doctor's words were even more thunderous

"At this time, the seven-day dosage will be taken after three days, and I will be able to survive ten days, and then I will prescribe a second course of treatment."

Ma asked, "It's only been seven days?"

Atsui hurriedly took the medicine and thanked her repeatedly.

The three of them walked to the village again, and when they got home, Ma Wen paid the balance of the carriage, he touched his pocket, grabbed it out, and slowly opened it, and a copper plate was very dazzling lying on Ma Wen's palm.

That night, when Lao Wang fell asleep, Acui sat quietly at the gate alone, and Ma Wen also walked out and said, "What's the matter?"

Atsui said, "I can't sleep, I just happened to have something to do with you."

The horse asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Acui said, "I'm sorry for you to take care of my father, I'll ask Aunt Zhang next door tomorrow to see what work is in the village?"

Ma asked, "What kind of work can I do in the village?"

"Doing laundry and cleaning, I want my dad to live longer."

Ma asked, "What do you want? I'll go to work, and you take care of your father."

Atsui said, "Where are you going to work?"

Ma asked, "Go to Hanshui to transport"

Atsui said, "This... This..."

Ma Wen interrupted Atsui's words and said, "What is this, this, my seven-foot body, can't I carry it?"

Atsui said, "But... You're a guest, huh?"

Ma asked and sighed, "Well, I'm just a guest, but in my eyes, you are my family."

After listening to Ma Qian's words, Acui was immediately ashamed, and said "Brother Xiaoyi, I didn't mean that."

Ma asked, "I don't care what you mean, Uncle saved me, and the grace of dripping water will repay the spring."

Atsui said, "But... You can't bear it."

Ma asked, "What's unbearable, it's all seven feet in the body, in addition to the uncle, who else is there in the village to carry it?"

Acui said, "There is Uncle Zhang from Aunt Zhang's family next door, as well as the Ermao brothers at the head of the village, and Uncle He on the other side."

Ma asked, "Okay, I'll go and talk to Uncle He."

On the second day, Ma Wen walked to Xiangyang with Uncle He, and Uncle He asked, "Xiao Yi, have you joined the old Wang family?"

Ma asked and said, "Uncle He, you are laughing, Uncle Wang saved me that day, and the grace of dripping water will repay me, and now they are in need of money, I am not a rich and noble person, I can only sell some strength"

Uncle He said, "You are really a rare young man, I look at you, and Acuilang are talented and beautiful, it is better for you two to simply walk together, this girl also has to take care of"

Ma asked, "Uncle said that he was joking, I have always regarded Atsui as a younger sister, and besides, she is still young."

Uncle He said, "What's the matter, other girls got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and a baby like Acui was born at this age."

Ma asked and said, "Hehe, Uncle said he was laughing."

The two of them were you and me, and an hour seemed to pass quite quickly, and soon it came, and everyone couldn't help but say something, and walked to the deck.

Ma Wen learned that today it was a rich merchant unloading rice, which was clean and not rough like salt.

Lao Wang's illness pressure suddenly pressed on Ma Wen's shoulders, he no longer disliked the unsatisfying meal, no longer disliked the dirty water, in order to repay the favor, for Acui, no matter how hard and tired he was, he had to persevere.

Ma Wen has been thinking about Zhuge Qingzi in his heart, and he can't wait to fly to the South China Sea immediately, but at this time, people's lives are at stake, and Acui can't take care of them alone.

Thinking of this, Ma Wen picked up another bag of rice, but his feet slipped and the rice fell to the ground.

When the overseer saw it, he ran over angrily and said, "What are you doing, what are you doing, if you can't move it, get out of here."

Ma Wen hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I accidentally ......"

Before Ma could finish asking, the overseer kicked Ma in the stomach and scolded, "Fuck, if you don't do well, get out, do you know how much a bag of rice costs? If your turtle grandson gets wet, do you know how much you will lose?"

At this time, Uncle He was just about to get on the boat, and when he saw this, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Lord Overseer, don't be angry, the young man is ignorant when he just came."

The overseer said, "Forget it if you don't know what?" By the way, who brought it? Why do you seem to have seen it?"

Uncle He said, "Lord Overseer, he is a relative of Lao Wang, you know, last time I worked for a day, Lao Wang was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, this kid is here to earn some money for medicine for Lao Wang."

After speaking, Uncle He stuffed a few copper plates into the overseer, and the overseer took it and turned it upside down, pinched it and said, "Okay, I won't bother with Lao Wang when I see Lao Wang's face, it's not easy to make money, so I won't be punished."

After hearing this, Uncle He hurriedly asked the horse and said, "Don't come over quickly, thank you, Lord Overseer."

Ma Wen said with a smile, "Thank you, Supervisor, thank you."

At this time, the supervisor said, "But the state has national laws, family rules, and other punishments still have to be there."

Ma Wen looked up at the overseer, not knowing what kind of punishment he was going to inflict.

Ma Wen's arm muscles kept trembling, his heart was pounding, he was not afraid, he was enduring it, he really wanted to kill this overseer at this time to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But the overseer didn't think so, he had been rampant on the docks for many years, how could a yellow-haired boy do anything to him, and then he saw the overseer punch out, right in the face of Ma Wen, due to inertia, Ma Wen fell to the side.

After the overseer finished blowing, he walked away happily with the copper plate in his left hand, and did not forget to say "If you don't work hard next time, you will get out of here."

Uncle He hurriedly went to help Ma Wen ask, and he saw that Ma Wen's mouth was bloodshot, so he hurriedly wiped off the blood for Ma Wen.

And Ma Wen clenched his fist with hatred, his eyes were fixed on the overseer, and Uncle He also saw it in his eyes, so he reached out and held Ma Wen's hand and said, "Forget it, we can't fight him, and we still rely on him to eat."

Ma Wen thought about it and sighed, he thought that Lao Wang was still recuperating from this job, and Ma Wen could only hold back, so he said, "Okay, Uncle He, I'm fine, let's continue to work" After speaking, Uncle He went to the deck again, and Ma Wen reluctantly carried the bag of rice.

Finally stayed up until the evening, everyone lined up and waited for the overseer to pay the wages, and when Ma asked, the overseer did not forget to bully him, without waiting for Ma Wen to stretch out his hand, the overseer let go of his hand, and the copper plate in his hand suddenly fell to the ground with a bang, Ma Wen did not dare to stare at the overseer, so he could only bend down to pick it up.

He knew that every copper plate was the continuation of Lao Wang's life, Acui's hope, no one knew how much Ma Wen hated the overseer at this time, if the internal strength was not lost at this time, the overseer would be torn apart.

Everyone shook their heads when they saw this, and those who didn't know thought that Ma Wen was weak and incompetent, without dignity, they were all dignified seven-foot men, how could they be bullied by him in the face of such a bully?

And those who knew about it could ask Lingma, and they were all impressed by the humiliation of the old king's father and daughter.

When leaving, the few people who didn't know still didn't forget to sneer at Ma Wen

"Useless thing, phew"

"It's a shame"

"Shame, why don't you kneel and kowtow?"

.........

Ma Wen didn't listen to it, he lowered his head and continued to walk, and he didn't know how long he walked before he entered the village, Ma Wen said, "Thank you Uncle He today" After speaking, he wanted to give Uncle He a few copper plates.

Uncle He hurriedly pushed it away and said, "Xiao Yi, no need, Lao Wang and I are also neighbors, I can see Lao Wang's condition, you have earned him life-saving money, what am I?"

Ma asked, "Then thank you Uncle He."

Uncle He said, "You're welcome, go home and have a good rest, and I'll call you tomorrow to work."

Ma Wen said happily, "Okay".
