This time the sprain was more serious, Xiao Jinyan couldn't lift his whole arm, and with a little effort, he grinned in pain, and the three of them discussed it, but decided to find a doctor.

The mountains do not know the length of the sun and the moon, the three of them crossed the Minjiang River, transferred from the Wujin ferry to the land, and arrived in Chengdu a day later, which was the tenth day of the first month.

Chengdu is the country of abundance since ancient times, although it is not comparable to Suzhou and Hangzhou, but it is the first city in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and it is an important strategic fortress in the southwest.

On the rivers and lakes, Chengdu is a gathering of Qingcheng faction, Emei faction, Tang Sect and other first-class sects in the world, as well as Qingyang Palace, known as the ancestor of the world, according to the incomplete records of Xiaosheng Jianghu, there are more than 30 small and medium-sized sects registered, the relationship between these sects is complicated, and their respective spheres of influence are constantly changing.

Twenty years ago, taking advantage of the change of the new emperor, the king of Shu rebelled, and later Yuwen Tianlu quelled the chaos, the officialdom of Shuzhong to the end, all the officials above the fifth grade were wiped out, and all the subordinates below the five grades were charged with the army and distributed.

After the three of them entered the city, they inquired about it and came to the best medical hall in the city.

When an apprentice at the door saw three people, he came up and asked, "Are you here to seek medical treatment?"

"Not bad. ”

"Then you're the right one, Doctor Xu of our medical hall, but Xu Daxian, the divine doctor of Suzhou City Security Hall, was reincarnated!"

Zhao Lanjiang sighed, "So it's called the Fetal Protection Hall?"

The apprentice said with a blushing face, "What is the Baoyi Hall, is it the Baoyi Hall?"

Zhao Lanjiang frowned, "Look at this word, it's obviously written to protect the fetus." ”

"What do you know, these three words, but the handwriting of Tang Bomao, the first genius in Jiangnan, our Doctor Xu spent thirty taels of silver on the pen. ”

Li Chengcheng said, "It seems that the silver is not enough, and a few strokes are missing." ”

"Is it interesting to tangle this?" said the apprentice with a displeased face, "Are you here to seek medical treatment, or are you here to find fault?"

Zhao Lanjiang pointed at Xiao Jinyan and said, "This is my brother, who accidentally sprained his arm, and specially came to ask Xu Shen for healing." ”

The guy looked at the three of them dressed up, not to mention the countrymen, it was better to even call Hanako, and hummed twice, "Come with me." ”

When the three of them came to the inner hall, a middle-aged man with fairy wind and bones and a red face full of light, wearing a Taoist robe, was treating a man. I saw him stretch out his thumb and put it on the connection, nodding his head for a while, shaking his head for a while, frowning for a while, and sighing for a while, which made the person who saw the doctor look extremely nervous.

"Doctor Xu, what kind of disease do you think I have?"

Doctor Xu said slowly, "Your pulse is very disordered, in addition to dizziness, nausea and vomiting, do you have any other symptoms?"

The man said, "I am flustered, by the way, I love sour!"

Doctor Xu nodded and asserted, "In my opinion, you are happy." Don't worry, I'll prescribe you a few pills to protect the fetus, but the price is a bit expensive. ”

The man stood up and said, "You're fucking happy! I'm a big man, I have a fart!"

As he spoke, as soon as he lifted the table, he was about to hit someone, but the miracle doctor called out again and again and dragged the man out.

Zhao Lanjiang snorted coldly, "Doctor Xu, hehe." ”

Xiao Jinyan also shook his head secretly, these days, if you don't have the name of a miracle doctor on your head, you can't mix in the rivers and lakes, and you are embarrassed to say hello when you go out to meet your peers, but in the whole world, in addition to Doctor Xue, how many people can afford the name of a miracle doctor?

The divine doctor Xue Bao has unparalleled medical skills, and he also once entered the court to cure more than a dozen noble concubines and Niangniang for flower willow disease, and also taught lessons to the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital. As for the Xu Divine Doctor and his ilk, most of them spent money to post a small advertisement on Xiaosheng Jianghu and find a few nurseries to act, and they became the so-called miracle doctors.

Doctor Xu got up from the ground with a dissatisfied face, muttered while sorting out the medicine notes, and when he saw the three of them, he immediately changed his face, like a high fairy, stroked his goatee, and asked, "You three are here to see the disease?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded.

Doctor Xu said, "The consultation fee is ten taels, and the medicine fee is calculated separately, and there is no credit, otherwise there is no need to talk." ”

"Ten taels, and the cost of medicine is calculated separately?" Xiao Jinyan was speechless, "Why is it so expensive?"

Doctor Xu said leisurely, "Expensive, naturally there is a reason for being expensive, I think you have also heard that I am the reincarnation of Xu Daxian official of Baoan Tang, back then, this doctor also sat in Putian Medical Hall, and of course the consultation fee is more expensive." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "I see. ”

Doctor Xu added, "This divine doctor has been practicing medicine for 30 years, and he has treated not 10,000 patients, but 8,000, and less than 3,000 people have died, to be exact, 2,999. ”

Xiao Jinyan's face sank, "Are you asking me to help you make it up?"

Doctor Xu said with a smile, "You can't even pay ten taels of medical fees, and if you want to make it up for me, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." ”

Xiao Jinyan took out ten taels of silver from his arms and shook it in front of him, these were the silver that he exchanged for Tang Ao's small golden sword that day, and now it was almost spent.

When Doctor Xu saw the silver, he immediately smiled on his face, and even moved a stool, "Please sit, please sit!"

Xiao Jinyan just sat down and was about to speak, when Divine Doctor Xu stopped, "Don't say it yet, let this Divine Doctor help you check your pulse first, let me guess, what disease do you have?"

Doctor Xu stretched out his thumb to take the pulse, Xiao Jinyan said that your way of taking the pulse is so strange, Doctor Xu said, "What do you know, this is called one-finger Zen, Suzhou Doctor Xue has heard it, this is how he takes the pulse." ”

Xiao Jinyan said that the six-fingered divine doctor Xue Shenyi has no thumbs.

Doctor Xu's face sank, "You still can't see a doctor?"

Xiao Jinyan was silent.

Doctor Xu began a new round of frowning, sighing, and shaking his head, and took a deep breath for a long time, "In the future, if you want to have fun, you want to go to a regular place, not to worry about money, young man, it's for the sake of your body!"

Zhao Lanjiang wondered, "What do you mean?"

Doctor Xu rolled his eyes up and said, "You two old men accompanied him to see a doctor, and it seems that he is not married, don't you have Hualiu disease?"

Xiao Jinyan couldn't cry or laugh, "Doctor Xu, I'm twisted." ”

"I understand that I'm not young, and there are some postures, so it's better not to try them easily. ”

Zhao Lanjiang took three steps and made two steps, came up and lifted the table, and splashed the ink that wrote the prescription on Doctor Xu's body, and Doctor Xu said urgently, "Hey, why are you still annoyed when I said?"

Zhao Lanjiang raised his fist and was about to fight, but Doctor Xu retreated and shouted, "Do you want to make trouble, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, you blatantly commit murder, is there any royal law?"

Zhao Lanjiang said that my fist is Wang Fa. After that, he stepped forward and beat him fatly, and Doctor Xu was still stubborn, "Do you know who is covering this Baoyi Hall, and when you come here to make trouble, you obviously don't want to live." ”

"Xu Jiangshan, the hall master of Qin Han Hall, is my second uncle!"

Zhao Lanjiang was a flurry, obviously he had never heard of this Qin Hantang. Doctor Xu thought he was scared and said, "Why, are you afraid?"

Zhao Lanjiang laughed, walked up to him, and said, "Say hello to the second uncle for me!"

After that, he kicked Doctor Xu out of the distance, and the pain made Doctor Xu grin on the ground.

Zhao Lanjiang pulled up Xiao Jinyan and walked out of the "Fetal Protection Hall" with Li Tingcheng. The guys came over, "Divine doctor, are you okay?"

Doctor Xu said angrily, "Is it okay?" My second uncle asked you to cover here, why didn't you go up just now?"

The guy said, "That big man is vicious, we are afraid that we can't beat him, as long as we wronged you." ”

"Send someone to follow him, I'm going to find the second master and let him avenge me!" Doctor Xu shouted.

Before the three of them went out, they saw an aunt squatting at the door coming forward, "Young man, are you here to see the disease, right? Let me tell you, this Xu Jiale is not good at medical skills, and it is expensive to see a doctor, I have a friend who opened a medical clinic, the same disease can be treated, it only costs half of the money, and it is to treat the disease first and then give the money, why don't you come with me?"

With his previous experience, Xiao Jinyan said, "It can't be a liar, right?"

"Young man, don't bring such insults, I'm just a warm-hearted aunt, although the three of you look okay, but at my age, do I still want you to do anything? It's not that you are outsiders, you came all the way here to see the disease, not to mention the money spent, the disease has not been cured......

The aunt chattered endlessly, and the talk was endless.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Since that's the case, let's try it." ”

The aunt said that you still have vision, and immediately took the three of them to turn east and west, came to an alley, drilled in, and drilled back and forth, making the three of them dizzy and unable to find the north.

Zhao Lanjiang asked, "Where is the south?"

The aunt said, "I don't know." ”

"I don't know, you brought us here, it won't be a plan, right?"

Aunt said impatiently, "We Chengdu people, has always been only divided into front and back, left and right, not divided into east and west, north and south, aunt, I have lived here all my life, and I have not figured out where is the east and where is the west, you ask me, how do I know?"

Zhao Lanjiang said, "It's really unreasonable!"

Li Chengcheng reminded, "What she said is true. ”

Most of the buildings in Chengdu Mansion are built by the mountains, not as good as the south of the Yangtze River or the north, the houses are built in the south and north, and the roads are mostly winding, and there is no distinction between east and west, north and south.

After a stick of incense, the three of them came to a grass hall in a corner, and above the wood door, there was a signboard hanging crookedly, which read, "Cao's Veterinary Hall." ”

In the dustpan in the courtyard of the thatched cottage, there are a lot of herbs in the sun, and on the mud wall, there are a few black things, which are shriveled up, and I don't know what they are. An old man in gray is nailing a horse's shoe.

Xiao Jinyan saw that he was a veterinarian, his head was big, and he turned his head to leave, but Zhao Lanjiang stopped him and said, "It's all here, don't you take a look?"

Xiao Jinyan said that this is not a joke?

Zhao Lanjiang countered, "In these days, people who treat people are not good at seeing diseases, find a veterinarian, maybe there will be a miracle?"

The aunt pushed the door in, "Old man Cao, I brought you a patient." ”

The veterinarian surnamed Cao didn't raise his head, "Don't look, Mama Li, how many times have I told you, I'm a veterinarian and don't treat people." ”

Aunt Li said with a calm face, "The surname is Cao, don't be ignorant, don't look at this, don't look at that, give a group of animals all day long, you can make a few dollars, you haven't paid rent for half a year, what do you use to pay money to my mother?"

The three of them suddenly realized that the veterinarian surnamed Cao owed Aunt Li's rent, and this woman did everything possible to fool the three of them into coming to him for treatment.

"I told you, I'll pay it back. "Soon, I will have a large amount of money in my account, and I will return the money to you at that time." ”

Aunt Li said, "Which time did you not say that, and which time did you pay it back?"

"This time is different, this time it's his Tang family's work. ”

"Which Tang family?"

Not long ago, someone from the Tang family found me and asked me to give them a pair of poison. ”

Aunt Li sneered, "Everyone in the world knows that the Tang Sect in Shuzhong is the ancestor of poison, even if they prepare poison, they still need to find you a veterinarian?

Veterinarian Cao saw where Xiao Jinyan and the three of them were standing, and waved his hand at them, "Please go back, I only treat animals, not people." ”

Zhao Lanjiang said, "It's all here, you treat my brother as a brute, show him it, don't worry, we will pay for the consultation." ”

Xiao Jinyan drooped his face, "How do you talk? Even if you rush to the doctor, we can't find a veterinarian?"

Veterinarian Cao snorted coldly, "If you say this, even if you are a beast, Lao Tzu will not give you a look." As he spoke, he pushed Xiao Jinyan and deliberately put a force on his arm.

"Ouch!" Xiao Jinyan shouted, "Are you the one who has your heart?"

Veterinarian Cao clapped his hands, "I see that your right arm is drooping and unable to be raised, it should be that the two acupoints of Neiguan and Quze are damaged, and these two acupoints are injured at the same time, if you guess correctly, it is caused by excessive force." ”

Zhao Lanjiang's eyes lit up, "He deserves to be a miracle doctor!"

"Corrected, I'm a veterinarian, not a miracle doctor. ”

"It's a god veterinarian!

Veterinarian Cao said coldly, "It's not a big problem, it's just that twenty years ago, Lao Tzu swore in front of the statue of the ancestor that he would never treat others again, so let's ask another master!"

What a strange temper! Xiao Jinyan thought to himself, looking at this person, he could see the location of his injuries at a glance, and his medical skills should be good, but he had this strange problem.

The three of them saw that it was useless to stay here, so they turned around and left.

"Wait!" veterinarian Cao said suddenly.

The three of them turned around, only to see him striding over, his eyes staring directly at Lu Gongzi behind Xiao Jinyan, as if he had discovered a treasure, while looking up and down, he nodded and said, "What a peerless donkey!"

Lu Gongzi looked at him obediently, and retreated backwards again and again.

Veterinarian Cao turned around and asked, "Little brother, is this donkey for sale?"

Aunt Li said, "The surname is Cao, you have the money to buy a donkey, but you don't have the money to pay my rent?"

Veterinarian Cao said that I didn't buy it now, I just asked. said to Xiao Jinyan again, "You can make a price." ”

Xiao Jinyan said in his heart that this donkey was covered in leprosy, lazy, skinny, and couldn't even sell it for three taels of silver in Suzhou, so how could this veterinarian look like a baby? However, he didn't want to sell Lu Gongzi, so he reported indiscriminately, "Five hundred taels." ”

Veterinarian Cao nodded and said, "It's not expensive, it's really not expensive!"

Lu Gongzi seemed to understand people's words, and when he heard Veterinarian Cao point out its value, as if he had found a confidant of a donkey, he actually broke away from Xiao Jinyan and ran towards Veterinarian Cao in small steps. That look, it seems that he has met the Ming Lord, and he will follow him in the future, and he will not eat fragrant and drink spicy food? No, the food in Shuzhong is too spicy, and it is okay to eat fragrant food.

"Isn't it expensive?" Xiao Jinyan hahazed, "Don't say five hundred taels, one hundred taels, you take it away, don't thank you!"

Veterinarian Cao said, "Do you know that this is not an ordinary donkey?"

"Of course you know, a leper donkey!"

Veterinarian Cao said, "You underestimate this donkey too much, this donkey has a lot of background." Among all things, the dragon is the most lewd, and the pig dragon and the donkey mate to give birth to a worm (Yinte, four tones), this leprosy donkey, is the offspring of the oyster. ”

When Lu Gongzi "heard this", he suddenly felt a sense of confidant, we also have a noble background, okay? Is it good for you to be a dragon son and a grandson? You, surnamed Xiao, don't give me food every day, and let me gnaw on the door panel in Suzhou City, which is really unreasonable!

Lu Gongzi took a few steps back, for fear that Veterinarian Cao would not want it, and tried his best to please Veterinarian Cao. I saw it jump lightly on all four hooves, and walked out of a set of dressage steps, the posture was extremely beautiful, and finally, with a bend of its hind hooves, it sat at the door of Cao Veterinarian, and refused to leave.

Xiao Jinyan slapped him in the face, "What's wrong, it's floating?"

Veterinarian Cao was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and said, "Money, I don't have it, it's better like this, I'll help you heal the injury on your arm, and you give me this donkey, how about it?"

"This ......" Xiao Jinyan hesitated, after all, they had lived together for many years, and he was a little reluctant to let him give away Lu Gongzi.

Zhao Lanjiang said, "It's decided!"

Lu Gongzi has always been afraid of Zhao Lanjiang, and at this moment, he actually cast a grateful gaze at Zhao Lanjiang.

Doctor Cao Beast was afraid that Xiao Jinyan would regret it, so he came to his side and grabbed his arm, making Xiao Jinyan grin in pain.

Veterinarian Cao said that it is good to endure it.

I saw his hands flying, tapping a few times on several acupoints on his right arm, and then began to push hard. Xiao Jinyan felt a little pain at first, and then a stream of heat came from above his right arm and came to the two acupoints of Neiguan and Quze.

After a while, I felt the sensation in my right arm, and the pain disappeared. Zhao Lanjiang saw Cao's method of treating injuries and asked, "Do you know martial arts?"

Veterinarian Cao didn't have a good airway, "I said I wouldn't?"

After another cup of tea, I heard a rattling sound, and the two acupuncture points returned to their positions, Xiao Jinyan shook his right hand, the pain was gone, and he couldn't help but praise, "What a miracle doctor!"

Zhao Lanjiang corrected, "Divine veterinarian!"

Xiao Jinyan said again, "Even if Xue Bao and Xue Pipi come in person, I'm afraid they won't heal my injuries so quickly." ”

Hearing the names of Divine Doctor Xue and Poison Saint, the face of the surnamed Cao changed slightly, and he deliberately pretended to be calm, and said, "Okay, if you cultivate for another three or two days, you will have no problem." ”

The three of them thanked each other again and again.

Veterinarian Cao said, "This donkey belongs to me." ”

Seeing that Lu Gongzi had an expectant expression, Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to nod although he was reluctant.

Veterinarian Cao was overjoyed, returned to the cottage, and after a short time, took out an iron object from the house, one foot long, and the end was in the shape of a scimitar, like a hook knife for digging wild vegetables, and sharpened it on the whetstone.

Li Chengcheng saw the black and shriveled things hanging on the wall of the grass hall and asked, "Veterinarian Cao, what are these things?"

Veterinarian Cao said casually, "Horse eggs and sheep treasures are all mundane things. As he spoke, the knife was polished.

Zhao Lanjiang asked again, "What kind of tool is this?"

"Geding. ”
