Prologue Chapter 32: Tai Chi Descends the Dragon and Fights the Peerless (5)
The guy said yes and walked out of the counter. Xu Pu hurriedly led him to the door. When the guy saw the tattered sea of clouds, he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't say anything, bent down and picked up the sea of clouds, walked into the medical hall, and put him on a chair by the wall.
When the doctor saw that his back was close to a tattered beggar, he couldn't help frowning, looked at Xu Pu again, and said, "Little brother, do you want to treat him?"
Xu Pu nodded.
"Then you have silver taels with you?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Pu immediately froze. As a little prince of the palace, he rarely goes out, and even when he goes out, he is accompanied by his subordinates, and he never brings silver taels. Along the way, he only thought about treating Cang Yunhai's injuries, but he forgot that it would cost money to see a doctor.
When the doctor saw that he was stunned, he understood, and said, "Looking at the clothes on your body, you must also be the son of a big family." Are your parents around? If so, ask them to pay the bills. ”
Xu Pu shook his head: "They are not nearby. ”
The doctor said, "Then do you have any relatives here?"
Xu Pu shook his head again: "No." ”
The doctor let out a long sigh and said, "If I don't have the money, I can't do anything." ”
As he spoke, an old man in his outer costume walked in. When the doctor saw it, he hurriedly said, "Li Yuanwai, please take a seat." How did you eat the medicine you prescribed last time?"
Xu Pu saw that the doctor no longer paid attention to him, so he walked to Cang Yunhai's side. Looking at the unconscious sea of clouds, I suddenly remembered my deceased father, and I couldn't help but feel sad, and tears came out.
At this time, I saw Cang Yunhai's body move. Xu Pu thought he was awake, wiped away his tears, and called, "Uncle!
But when he saw Cang Yunhai open his mouth, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Xu Pu was shocked and shouted: "Uncle!
Cang Yunhai did not react again.
Seeing Cang Yunhai vomiting blood, the doctor frowned, and ordered the man: "Agui, quickly carry that person out." lest he die in the infirmary, and ruin my reputation. ”
Ah Gui agreed, came over and picked up the sea of clouds, came outside, put him on the sled, and then said to Xu Pu: "Let's go." If you don't leave, the gentleman will come to catch up. ”
Xu Pu looked up at Agui, sad and angry. Ah Gui ignored him and turned around and went back to the hospital.
Xu Pu stood beside the sled and thought to himself: That's it! This uncle is seriously injured and in danger, and I am penniless, so I can neither treat his injuries nor have food and lodging, and sooner or later I will inevitably die. Fortunately, with him by his side, he is not lonely on Huangquan Road, and he may be able to reunite with his father. I just don't know where my mother is now, whether she is alive or dead.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Pu felt a sense of tragedy in his heart, pulled up the sled, lowered his head and continued to walk forward, ready to find a corner where no one was, and wait for death silently.
After walking a short distance, I suddenly heard a woman in the shop on the side of the street screaming: "This is a full golden hairpin, how can it be worth ten taels of silver, right? I only take five taels, and you don't accept it?"
Hearing this, Xu Pu suddenly raised his head, and saw a big plaque on the door of a shop on the street, with the book "Zhouji Pawnshop", and four big characters flashed with golden light.
Seeing these words, Xu Pu was like an initiation, and he suddenly became enlightened.
He reached out and took out a piece of jade from his bosom and looked down.
This piece of jade is carved from the best Hetian jade, with a flying dragon embossed on the yang side, and four characters embossed on the yin side: "Pure heart Ruopu".
This jade jue was originally a pair, but when Xu Jizhong and Lan Yu made a marriage contract for their children, Xu Jizhong asked someone to carve it. One relief is a dragon and one is a phoenix, which was given to Xu Pu and the blue painting screen respectively, thinking that the dragon and phoenix are auspicious.
Later, the Lan family was executed, and the marriage contract of the children was empty. But Xu Jizhong remembered that this thing was left by the deceased, so he still let Xu Pu take it with him as a commemoration.
At this time, Xu Pu saw the pawnshop on the side of the street, and immediately had an idea, and said secretly: My father said that he had asked someone to make two pieces of jade, and it cost a total of three hundred taels of silver. This one jade jue is worth one hundred and fifty taels. Don't say it's one hundred and fifty taels, even if it's only fifty taels, it can also cure this uncle. This piece of jade is useless to carry on the body, so it is better to treat it as it and exchange it for silver to treat this uncle.
After making up his mind, Xu Pu put down the sled and walked into the Zhouji pawnshop.
As soon as I entered the door, I passed by a woman with a golden hairpin in her hand. Presumably because she disliked the lack of silver and was not willing to do it properly.
Xu Pu came to the counter as tall as himself, raised his head and said to the person inside: "Sir, I want to be a pawn." ”
Inside was a middle-aged man with thin eyes and a mustache, who looked down at Xu Pu and asked, "What should you be?"
Xu Pu held Yu Jue in his hand and handed it over: "Be this." ”
The gentleman took it, squinted his eyes and looked at it over and over again, nodded slightly, and asked, "How much?"
Xu Pu said: "Fifty taels." ”
The gentleman said expressionlessly, "Ten taels." ”
Xu Pu said: "Sir, take a good look, this is a high-grade Hetian jade, it cost more than a hundred taels to do this." ”
The gentleman said, "Ten taels." If it is not appropriate, please come out. With that, put Yu Jue on the counter.
Xu Pu hesitated for a moment and said secretly: "If it's inappropriate, there will be no money for treatment." Although ten taels is less, it can solve the urgent need. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's done." ”
The gentleman nodded, took a pen and wrote the pawn ticket, took out ten taels of silver, pressed it on the pawn ticket and pushed it out.
Xu Pu took the silver as a ticket, put it in his arms, got out of the pawnshop, dragged the sled, and returned to the Rejuvenation Hall.
At this time, the staff member had left, and there were no other guests in the Rejuvenation Hall, and the doctor was sitting behind the table, slowly sipping tea.
Xu Pu entered the room and said to the doctor, "Sir, please see a doctor for my uncle." ”
The doctor looked at him and asked, "Do you have any money?"
Xu Pu took out a piece of silver, held it in the palm of his hand, and showed it to the doctor.
When the doctor saw the silver, he nodded, and ordered, "Ah Gui, go and bring in the sick outside." ”
Ah Gui answered, turned out from behind the counter, went to the door, carried Cang Yunhai into the medical hall, and put it on the chair next to the wall.
The doctor sat down on another chair, put Cang Yunhai's arm on the table, stretched out three fingers on the ruler, and began to check his pulse.
Xu Pu stood aside, looking at the doctor's face, and felt nervous in his heart.
I saw that the doctor's face gradually became solemn, and later, even his brows were tightly wrinkled, Xu Pu's heart couldn't help but rise, and asked, "Sir, does my uncle's illness matter?"
The doctor said: "This person's viscera has been injured, his meridians have been damaged, his qi and blood are deficient, and his true yuan has declined greatly, and it is unbelievable that he can live until now." ”
Hearing him say this, Xu Pu hurriedly asked, "Can that still be cured?"
The doctor slowly stroked his beard with one hand and said slowly: "It can be cured, but it takes a lot of work." ”
