Chapter 11: Visiting
The person who opened the door was a half-hundred-year-old man, wearing a blue-gray costume, he opened the door only in a sideways position, a pair of eyes seemed sleepy-eyed but the perspective was always wandering in Bai Xiaosheng's hands, waist and the cage behind him, cautiously beware of Bai Xiaosheng, one of the old man's hands was always hidden behind the door, Bai Xiaosheng knew that there must be something like a stick hidden behind the door, as long as the old man in front of him thought that the person was not good, he could immediately swing the stick.
This old man is obviously a guard or a housekeeper and the like, although he is more than half a hundred years old, his voice is still dry, and there is no ordinary old man who speaks vaguely, the door of the medical hall is a copper-clad wooden structure, coupled with the screen structure of the gate, even ordinary young people are a little difficult to move, but the old man is holding the door with one hand and the shoulder is only slightly sinking, obviously the old man also has some kung fu.
Bai Xiaosheng arched his hand: "Under Bai Xiaosheng, if you have something to see Sun Lao, please ask the old man to make a convenient report." ”
Hearing Bai Xiaosheng call his master "Old Sun", the old man at the gate muttered for a moment, his own master put aside his identity, his medical skills are a must in Songmen City, and there are countless people who come to seek medical advice every day, but anyone who opens his mouth must be "Doctor Sun" or "Doctor Sun", and it is rare to call "Old Sun".
The old man looked at the young man in front of him again, this young man was carrying a cage, his shoulder bones were thin, not like a Jianghu guest, but a little like a scholar who was rushing to take the exam, with a delicate face, clear eyes, and not like a scheming person, but knowing people and knowing the face but not knowing the heart, this kind of face can not see the bottom is the most suspicious, the identity of his own master is precious, it is better to be careful.
Thinking of this, the old man shook his head: "The master is not a guest today, you can go back." As he spoke, he closed the screen door. Bai Xiaosheng was a little dumbfounded when he saw this, he was not the kind of fierce and vicious Jianghu guest, and he didn't look like a person with a tiger in his heart, even if he stayed in the wild village overnight, there were people willing to receive him all the way, why was the old man in front of him ready to give himself a closed door as soon as he met? At the moment, he threw the cage to the opening of the screen door and blocked the door: "Old man, please slow down!"
Seeing that the door was blocked, the old man reflexively copied the stick hidden behind the door: "What do you want to do?" Bai Xiaosheng arched his hand: "I really have something important to ask for below!" Seeing Bai Xiaosheng's box cage blocking the door, he thought that he would use some means, and he also frightened the old man, but the result was still a request. Originally, it was very unpleasant to be disturbed by someone early in the morning, and in addition, he was frightened, and the old man suddenly felt a little impatient: "Who came here to find my master who doesn't have something important to ask for?"
Just when the old man and Bai Xiaosheng were at a stalemate, a slightly hoarse and vague voice came from inside the house: "Who is at the door early in the morning?" The old man hurriedly replied: "Old man, ...... old man" Before the words were finished, Bai Xiaosheng shouted first: "Old Sun!
The old man at the gate widened his eyes, he had been watching the door for so long, and the people who came to seek medical treatment and medicine were all polite to him, like this unreasonable boy in front of him was the first one, and immediately waved his stick to catch up: "Get out, there are more people who have a relationship with my master, do you have to see my master one by one? If you don't leave, I'll call someone!"
"Lao He. Sun Lao's voice came from the house, although the sky is hazy and slightly bright, but the house has not opened the window, it is still dim, the sound of the soles of the shoes rubbing the ground is long and short in the house, and then a dull sound of impact accompanied by the old man's painful snort sounded, hearing this voice, the old man's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly dropped the stick and turned around and went back to the house: "Oh, my lord, why did you get out of bed by yourself." ”
As soon as the old janitor ran into the house, there was no one guarding the door, and Bai Xiaosheng also took this opportunity to sneak into the house.
......
The entrance to the general residential house is a small vestibule, the front hall is left and right to the living room, and then to the back is the kitchen and latrine, the medical hall is nothing more than to expand the lobby, put some drawers and wooden cabinets as medicine cabinets, and the main hall of the lobby is used as a place for consultation.
As soon as the housekeeper who was called Lao He by Sun Lao returned to the lobby of the house, he saw Sun Lao sitting on the ground with his hands on the legs of the table in the lobby.
Lao He hurriedly ran up to help: "I said master, why did you get up by yourself." Hey, you see it's bleeding. Lao He helped Sun Lao to sit on the main seat in the lobby, and saw that there was a slight blood stain on Sun Lao's forehead, so he hurriedly took out a clean sweat towel from his arms and covered it for Sun Lao.
"I'm fine...... Hiss lightly...... "Sun Lao's collision was originally a skin injury, but the room was dim, and the blood flowed down the forehead was weird and scary, Lao He was in a hurry and directly pressed the sweat towel to the wound lightly, which made Sun Lao gasp.
Sun Lao took the sweat towel from Lao He's hand to cover the wound: "Who was making noise outside the door just now?"
Lao He just wanted to answer, but he heard a crisp voice behind him: "In Xia Bai Xiaosheng, I have seen Sun Lao." Lao He turned around and saw Bai Xiaosheng in white standing behind him, and he was anxious on the spot: "Hey, I said, how did you sneak in? Did I let you in? I told you that you were trespassing on the house! Go out! If you don't leave, I'll really call someone!"
Seeing this, Sun Lao opened his mouth and stopped: "Okay, Lao He, the person who comes is a guest, you don't have to be like this." "But the old man ......" Lao He wanted to say something, but Sun Lao waved his hand to stop Lao He's words: "We are a medical hall, there is always a time to open the door, can you stop him for a while, can you stop him for a lifetime?" Lao He was speechless for a while, and could only bow his head and reply "yes", but he did not leave, but stood sideways beside Sun Lao, faintly separating Bai Xiaosheng from Sun Lao, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Bai Xiaosheng, if Bai Xiaosheng had any suspicious movements, he could protect his master behind him.
All kinds of methods emerge in an endless stream on the rivers and lakes, and the way of poison and mechanism is quite famous, and it is necessary to guard against it.
Bai Xiaosheng arched his hand: "Don't be surprised by Mr. Sun, under Bai Xiaosheng, I once had a relationship with Mr. Sun in Shiji, I don't know if Mr. Sun still remembers?" Mr. Sun nodded: "Of course I remember, Mr. Xiao fainted at that time and was still the pulse of the old decay, don't stand, please sit." ”
Sun Lao stretched out his hand to lead Bai Xiaosheng to the seat under the hall, and when Bai Xiaosheng took his seat, Sun Lao slowly spoke: "The old man has a lot of connections with the Shi Ji family, and the Shi Ji master offended Mr. Xiao a few days ago, and he looked at Haihan. Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly: "Master Shi is arrogant and free, quick to speak, so that he admires in his heart, where can he blame, he only hates that his body is too weak, and he can't withstand a gust of wind, and thanks to Sun Lao's help, I thank you here." This slightly self-deprecating remark caused Sun Lao to laugh twice: "Where is it, the old man is just taking people's money to see a doctor, and now he is relieved to see that the little man is still healthy." ”
According to the usual practice, the two sides should pick up the teacup and take a sip before starting to get into the topic, but obviously Lao He did not treat Bai Xiaosheng as a guest, and was still wary of him, how could he leave his master to prepare tea? So Bai Xiaosheng could only cough, indicating that he was about to enter the topic. Mr. Sun is also a good person, and he can see that Bai Xiaosheng has something to say, so he spoke: "Mr. Xiao has something to ask the old man, but it doesn't hurt to mention it, the old man will definitely know everything, so he should make amends to the little gentleman for the big boss of Shi Ji." ”
When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he smiled happily, and immediately opened his mouth: "Is Sun Lao serious? Then Bai Xiaosheng's next sentence made Sun Lao's face change.
"I would like to ask Elder Sun about what happened fifty years ago. ”
