Chapter 38: The Vicissitudes of Life (1)
As the saying goes, "every family has a scripture that is difficult to read", and for the Huashan catastrophe, Shangguan Yaohua, the final victor, is no exception. On the way back, he always kept a straight face, and his mood was extremely irritable, and the accompanying soldiers did not dare to talk to him, so as not to catch fire.
The incident began nearly a month ago. At that time, Shangguan Yaohua rescued Ping Ruoyu and took her to Beijing with the owner of Pingzhuang for medical treatment, and since then they have parted ways with the father and son of the original owner. As soon as the two entered the capital, they inquired along the way, even the most deserted medical halls and pharmacies, and always held a glimmer of hope.
However, the owners were either troublesome or worried that the patients would die in front of their own stores, which would damage their reputation. pretended to give Ping Ruoyu a pulse, pretended to be sorry, and said: "This girl's injuries are too serious, and she can't be saved." If you can apply the elixir of the world, you can barely prolong your life for about three days. I also ask the two of you to mourn and handle the funeral for her as soon as possible. ”
He expected that in this way, the other party, under the grief, would definitely pin his hopes elsewhere, rather than retreat to the next best thing, and begged him to give him some empty words of "three days to continue his life", and the truth was not expected.
I asked nearly ten companies in a row, and it was still the case. Shangguan Yaohua was annoyed every time he heard those cookie-cutter words, and he brushed his sleeves away on the spot, the owner of Pingzhuang was originally Ping Ruoyu's legitimate father, so he looked like an old servant with luggage.
After asking most of the capital, the two were kicked out by a pharmacy. Standing on the street, just as the red sun was scorching, the eyes of the owner of Pingzhuang revealed a desolation of twilight, and he sighed lightly: "That's it, Yaohua, I know that this is destined to be the result, and it is the same if I run a few more, so why bother to deceive myself again? I am very grateful for you to do your part for Yu'er." Alas, it is true that I have done too much evil earlier, and I have been haunted by evil thoughts for many years, and Yu'er can't wake up, which is the retribution that the sky gave me. To be honest, this punishment is not unjust, but if it is true, why should it be reported to Yu'er?"
Holding the corner of his forehead with his palm, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Yu'er sleeps very peacefully, and it can be called a gift to be able to leave unconsciously and painlessly in her sleep." Let's follow what the group of doctors said, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and let her settle down!"
Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense, it's all fucking bullshit quacks! You also believe their nonsense? And you, too, give me a lot of affection as soon as possible! I want to save her, all out of my own considerations, is it still to win your gratitude? In a huge capital, is the boss all a waste of people who eat and wait for death? I don't have the slightest ability, and I dare to go to the feet of the Son of Heaven to show off? I just want to try it one by one, and whoever dares to give me a word of nonsense, I will cut off his head with a knife!"
The owner of Pingzhuang sighed: "This ...... Why are you so ......" If you want to say whether you care about Ping Ruoyu or not, it seems that his father is not as good as an outsider.
Shangguan Yaohua's temper was already hot, and even if he touched a few nails, he was in danger of exploding at any time, and the owner of Pingzhuang was upset and didn't want to be bored. The two walked not far away, and they were confronted by another medical hall. Shangguan Yaohua once jokingly said that the capital is really full of disasters, so he has to open medical halls everywhere in case of emergency. The most popular business in these years is not the boss of the bank, but the doctor.
At that moment, the two of them had no intention of saying much, Shangguan Yaohua kicked the door open, strode in, and put Ping Ruoyu's body across a wooden bed, ignoring the doctor's gloomy face, and said hurriedly: "My friend is seriously injured, you hurry up and show her, but is there any way? I don't believe that it really can't be cured!"
The doctor saw that he was violent, and he was afraid that if he couldn't really cure this patient, this young man would be angry and would tear down the small medical hall. Half to cope, half to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters, casually put on Ping Ruoyu's wrist, two fingers alternately and gently tapped, wrinkled two eight-figure eyebrows, shook his head, first pretended to show concentration, and said after a while: "This girl is injured for some reason, and she has greatly damaged the true yuan, but I am afraid that the operation in her body has failed...... Poor thing! With my years of medical experience, she is the most seriously injured!"
The owner of Pingzhuang's heart immediately tightened, for fear that he would spit out a few bad news from his mouth. Shangguan Yaohua raised his hand and slapped it on the table, and said, "It's all nonsense! If she is not seriously injured, why do we still come to you with all kinds of trouble?
The doctor smiled and said, "This little brother, your heart is too anxious, I only said that she was seriously injured, but I never said that I couldn't save her? But is it...... It's true that she is seriously injured, but it can be said that she is hanging on the door of the ghost and hanging, is the situation...... That's very dangerous! Even a living immortal can't be saved in a moment, this ...... That's going to be a bit of a problem......" he said, rubbing his chin with his thumb, as if he was really distressed by this incurable disease.
When the owner of Pingzhuang heard that he could save his daughter, his attitude was so enthusiastic, he was overjoyed for a while, and secretly sighed that all the quacks he had met before had finally met him this time.
Looking at his expression, he was eager to kowtow to this doctor, and he was also willing. Said: "Doctor, you are really a wonderful hand and benevolent! Xu Shiyu'er should not die, and meeting you at the last moment can be called the creation of someone in my peace." To tell you the truth, we have inquired about the shops in the capital before, and those doctors are unwilling to ask for trouble when they see Yu'er's half-dead appearance, which is very different from you! If you can cure Yu'er, old man...... Thank you deeply, please bow to me first!" he said with a deep bow to the ground.
The doctor praised him a few words, and he became even more fluttering, thinking to himself what is the use of me receiving your great gift? Said: "It can't be cured in the hands of others, but for me's 'wonderful hand rejuvenation' and 'medical Xianhua magpie', it's just commonplace." Supposedly, supposedly supposedly you should have come to me first, supposedly, sir, no one in the city has ever mentioned my name to you?"
The owner shook his head. He was so anxious that he had already lost his mind, so he only knew that he followed Shangguan Yaohua, and when he saw the medical hall, he broke in, and where did he think of asking in the city, how many famous doctors were there?
Hua Que didn't hear his response, but he was not impatient, he still sang the drama by himself, and said seriously: "You're welcome, it's not that they are unhappy, it's really that their skills are not good, and it is me who has to bump into me." However, after this girl was seriously injured, she had to take care of her health, and the prescription prescribed to her must also add a few more elixirs that are rare in the world...... Hehe......" lowered his head, his fingers rattling on the abacus.
The owner of Pingzhuang has lived in seclusion with his ancestors since he was a child, and has never been in the world, so although his martial arts are extremely high, his experience in the rivers and lakes is scarce. On the contrary, it is better for Shangguan Yaohua to have different identities even in the scriptures, and he knows a lot about the rules of officialdom in the open and in the dark. As soon as he saw his thief's eyebrows, he knew the reason and sneered: "Don't say that those who have it or not, I'm afraid that what the doctor wants is this thing." With one palm outstretched, the thumb twisted lightly on the other two fingers.
Hua Que was overjoyed when he saw it, and praised repeatedly: "In the end, this little brother has vision! To tell the truth, it is the duty of a practitioner to cure diseases and save people, and it should not be measured by wealth." It's not that I'm bent on getting into the eyes of money, and I have to squeeze a little out of you. It's just that...... Nowadays, practitioners of medicine are bitter, prescribing and buying medicines, all out of their own pockets. If you don't rely on that little profit, you are destined to make ends meet, and you have to drink the northwest wind. Let the doctor live first, and then he can treat more patients, don't you say?"
The owner of Pingzhuang hurriedly said: "Okay! How much do you want, and ask Dr. Hua to offer a price." As long as you can cure Yu'er's illness, I'll be ...... Even if it is bankrupt, it will not hesitate!" As he spoke, he touched it in his bosom, wanting to find some gold and silver treasures, and first came to honor him.
Hua Que pretended to wave his hand and said, "Master Ping, if you say that, it's too outlandish." Practitioners are accustomed to seeing life and death, but every time they save a patient, they are afraid that they are happier than their family members. Your daughter is my patient, and her life has been temporarily entrusted to me, and I will be responsible for her......" He knew how to accept it when he saw it, and after stimulating the owner of the flat village a few words, he immediately stopped talking, and wanted to see what treasure he took out of his bosom.
Shangguan Yaohua was extremely dissatisfied with his hypocritical face, raised his hand to stop in front of the main arm of Pingzhuang, and said lightly: "No need." Doctor Hua, to treat diseases and save people, we should also look at the results after the fact. Isn't it suspicious that you can't do without the word benefit when you open and close your mouth? Anyone can say a few big words in your mouth, even louder than you. If it doesn't match your boasting, who are we going to ask for justice?"
The owner of Pingzhuang persuaded: "Yaohua, anyway, Ruoyu is already like this, no matter how it is, it will not be worse than now, let it be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe God is moved by our sincerity, and it can really give birth to a miracle?" ”
Hua Que smiled, and simply didn't say a word, just waiting for him to break the bill by himself, and the effect would be more significant. This kind of small business owner, in order to earn the most silver taels, often speculates more accurately than himself. Shangguan Yaohua had nowhere to complain about the fire, so he had to turn his head and sulk.
Unexpectedly, the owner of the flat village took a few digs in his arms, and everywhere was empty, and his face froze. In the life-and-death battle in Pingjiazhuang, he joined forces with the original owner to barely resist his daughter's attack, but he was also defeated and retreated, and a set of long shirts was stained with blood. At that time, he was not aware of the tribulation, but when he entered the city, although the blood of his clothes had turned dark red, it was very incommensurate with the peaceful scenery around him, but he looked like a few robbers who had just killed people and sold goods in a deserted place. I felt that this outfit was too conspicuous. Shangguan Yaohua forcibly pulled him to buy a few old clothes from the vendors and put them on for the three of them, so as not to be involved in the large amount of blood.
With the past savings of the four major mountain villas, they can be called rich and rival countries. However, this time he escaped in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to take a few jade pendants, and the only few pieces of broken silver were also unknowingly used in buying horses and living in the store. It is indeed not surprising that the owner of Pingzhuang was untrustworthy in the past, but it is rare that he has the heartache to change his past, and he is very guilty about it. Forced to put on a smiling face and said, "I'm really sorry, Dr. Hua, I don't have a lot of money today." Can...... You treat the little girl first, even if it is a sum of credit, and when you have enough one day, you will definitely repay it twice......"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Dr. Hua heard that he had no money in his hand, his originally enthusiastic smiling face immediately made a 180-degree turn, and sneered: "Like you, I have seen a lot of people who do everything possible to repay their debts, and all kinds of excuses are made up of nonsense, what is stolen by pickpockets on the road, what alms are given to the poor, what is used as a secret weapon, and the robbers are fought for 300 rounds, which can be said to be varied, but it is your most old-fashioned. If you give a sum of credit today, and tomorrow he gives a sum of credit, and when it is time to collect the debt, you will roll up the bunks and leave, and really tell me to drink the northwest wind? If you have no money, what kind of illness will you come to treat without money? She should be sick and die! Go, go, hurry up and let me go now, don't delay my business!"
