In a dark and vast space, Luo Yin was looking for something in it.

He didn't know how long he had been looking, and he didn't know what he was looking for......

There was nothingness all around, nothing to be found, no light, no people, no sky, no earth. Everywhere he ran, there was the same nothingness all around, and nothingness terrified him.

I don't know how long I searched in the dark, and suddenly I couldn't stand in the void anymore, and my body fell towards the void, and the endless void seemed to have no end forever, and Luo Yin's heart swelled with unspeakable fear......

He opened his eyes suddenly, and instantly woke up from the endless fear.

I had that dream again, the dream I had countless times since I was a child, but when I woke up, I couldn't remember what I dreamed about, only the fear that went deep into my bone marrow.

After a while, he slowly came to his senses, and then he realized that he was still alive, and turned his head to look around.

I saw myself lying in a simple room, the door was wide open, and the sun shone in through the door, giving people a warm feeling. There was silence all around, except for the sound of insects.

His eyes glanced at his arm, and he saw that the broken arm was bandaged and tied with a plank, and he smelled a strong smell of medicine in his nose.

While Luo Yin was looking around, there were footsteps outside the door, and an old man in a coarse linen robe walked in with a bowl, only to see that his hair was black and white, and he had a goatee, looking about sixty years old.

"How is the little brother awake, how are you feeling now?" asked the old man, placing the bowl in his hand on the head of the bed.

Luo Yin struggled to sit up, but found that he was so weak that he couldn't sit up at all.

Seeing that Luo Yin wanted to get up, the old man hurriedly said, "Don't move yet, you still have a high fever, and the injuries on your body are very serious, and you need to recuperate now." ”

"Uncle, may I ask where this is?" Luo Yin only remembered that he walked out of the woods and found a village outside the mountain forest, and then he couldn't remember anything.

The old man said: "The old man's surname is Zhou, and he is the only doctor in this Zhoujiazhuang, and you are in my house." ”

"Thank you Dr. Zhou for saving me, otherwise I would have died. Luo Yin thanked.

Doctor Zhou said: "I heard a sound at the door yesterday evening, so I went out to have a look, and found that you fell at the door of my house." I don't know if you walked to the door by yourself or if someone put you there. I saw that you were seriously ill, so I brought you back. ”

"After some examination, it turned out that you were not only sick, but also seriously injured, with a broken arm and serious damage to your internal organs. Look at you dressed like a scholar, but what kind of beast have you encountered?"

Luo Yin replied: "I was attacked by a bear in the woods, and I was slapped by the bear, and I finally escaped with my life. ”

Doctor Zhou pointed to Luo Yin's arm and said, "No wonder I found a few blood marks on you, it looks like it was left by some beast." And your arm must have been broken by a huge force, and you were hit hard in the chest. However, it is good luck to be able to escape under the bear's mouth. ”

Luo Yin asked, "Doctor Zhou, I don't know if my injury matters?"

Dr. Zhou pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, handed the bowl that had just been placed at the head of the bed to Luo Yin, and said, "Drink the medicine first." ”

Luo Yin took the bowl and drank all the medicine in one breath.

Doctor Zhou took the bowl and put it down, and said: "You have three injuries, the first is a broken arm, I have already helped you take it up, it's no big deal, it will be healed in two or three months." The second is a scratch on the buttocks, the wound is not deep, it has been medicated, and it will be healed in a few days. ”

"As for the third place, it is internal injury, which is more troublesome, you must know that human organs are very fragile, and your internal organs are very seriously injured, and they have not been treated in time, so the current situation is very bad. ”

"Is there a way to heal it?" Luo Yin hurriedly asked.

I know my own situation, and when I saw the bear paw slapping at that time, if I hadn't blocked it with my left arm, I was afraid that I would have been slapped to death. But even if he blocked it like this, his left arm was still broken under such a heavy blow, and his internal organs were seriously injured, so it was lucky to survive.

Dr. Zhou said: "The internal organs are very difficult to treat, and they need to be carefully recuperated with daily medication. ”

Luo Yin said gratefully: "Then it's troublesome Dr. Zhou, as for the cost of this diagnosis, I don't know how much it costs?"

Doctor Zhou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is not in a hurry, it is okay to give it slowly." By the way, I'll bring you your book basket. So saying, he walked to the corner of the wall, and brought the book basket and placed it beside the bed.

"You have a good rest first, and I will bring you food and medicine. After saying that, Dr. Zhou left.

Luo Yin lay down for a while, struggled to turn sideways, and took out the items in the bookbasket one by one with his uninjured hand, only to find that the coil he was hiding at the bottom seemed to be much lighter.

He hurriedly took out the package containing the silver, counted it carefully, and found that only twenty taels of silver remained, and the remaining nearly thirty taels of silver were gone.

Randomly, he put the things he had taken out back into the basket one by one, wondering who had taken his money.

It was possible for Dr. Zhou, but why didn't he take it all and keep twenty taels for himself? Or did someone take the silver and send him to the door of Dr. Zhou's house?

Thinking about it, it is possible to go to both, so you can only put it aside for the time being and take care of your illness first. Fortunately, there are still twenty taels of silver left, otherwise he can't even afford to pay the medical expenses, and as for whether he will be able to go to Chu State in the future, he can only wait for the future.

Since then, Luo Yin has lived in Dr. Zhou's house with peace of mind, and has taken care of his body under his care.

Dr. Zhou's medical skills were really good, and his fever subsided within two days. Since then, Luo Yin has actively cooperated with the treatment in strict accordance with Dr. Zhou's requirements, and the injuries on his body have gradually improved.

When he was better and able to get out of bed and walk around, Luo Yin knocked on the side to inquire about the lost silver. But judging from Dr. Zhou's reaction, he didn't know anything about the silver at all. Luo Yin had to rule out his suspicions and focus his investigation on other people in the village.

However, after inquiring around the village, I did not hear that anyone had suddenly gained a large amount of money, nor had I heard that anyone had suddenly become rich, so I had to consider myself unlucky.

It's been a month since I came to this village in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Dr. Zhou came to help Luo Yin diagnose the pulse, and after cutting the pulse, he said to Luo Yin: "The injury to the internal organs is basically healed, as long as you don't exercise vigorously, there will be no big problem." As for the broken arm, it will be at least another month before the splint can be removed. ”

When Luo Yin heard this, he was overjoyed, he had been delayed here for too long, and he had to hurry up on the road, otherwise he would definitely not be able to catch up with Qingyang Mountain by the time the three-year period arrived.

After thanking Dr. Zhou, he was about to ask to leave when a person walked in at the door. I saw that it was a young man, looking about twenty years old, with a simple appearance, and a pheasant in his hand.

The honest young man walked up to Dr. Zhou, held the pheasant and said, "Doctor Zhou, I hit a pheasant today, and my mother ordered me to send it to you, thank you for bothering to treat my mother a few days ago." ”

After being polite to him, Dr. Zhou accepted the gift and asked, "I heard last month that you sent your mother to the city for treatment, but is it better?"

The honest young man said: "The doctor in the city showed my mother and prescribed a lot of medicine, and after more than half a month, it will be much better, and I will return to the village after I am cured in the next few days." ”

"It's good if you're sick, you bring your mother tomorrow, and I'll show her again." Dr. Zhou said.

The honest young man agreed, and glanced at Luo Yin, and it happened that Luo Yin was also looking at him at this time, the two looked at each other, and the young man hurriedly lowered his head.

Luo Yin's heart moved, and he had some doubts. After the young man left, he asked Dr. Zhou, "What kind of illness did this little brother's mother have, so she let a miracle doctor like you go to the city to find a doctor?"

Doctor Zhou said: "This child's name is Zhou Tai, and he is a well-known filial child in our village, with a calm and generous personality, and he is very good to everyone. His father died early, and his mother relied on his mother's hard work to grow up. ”

Saying that, he sighed, "A few months ago, his mother was seriously ill and came to me for healing for a while. It's a pity that this disease needs a lot of precious herbs, his family is not well-off, and he can't afford to buy these herbs, and I don't have those herbs, so his mother can only drag it out day by day and wait for death. But somehow last month he suddenly took his mother into the city, saying that he was going to see a doctor in the city. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yin had already guessed where the money for his medicine came from, most of it was stolen from himself. It's just that I should be angry, but I can't be angry.

After lunch at noon, Luo Yin asked Dr. Zhou about Zhou Tai's residence and planned to go to his house to ask for clarification.

When I came to Zhou Tai's house, I found that his family was quite poor, with only two thatched houses, and life must have been quite difficult.

Luo Yin knocked on the door, and after a while, Zhou Tai walked out. When he saw Luo Yin standing at the door, his face was frightened, but he soon showed a relieved expression.

Zhou Tai closed the door, walked to Luo Yin and knelt down, and said, "I'm sorry for you, it's me who stole your silver to treat my mother." As long as you don't report to the official, let me do anything, otherwise my mother won't be able to survive if I am arrested by the official. ”

Luo Yin stared at him for a while and said, "You sent me to Dr. Zhou's house?"

"I sent it, I just came back from the field that day, and when I saw you walking and falling to the ground, I sent you to the door of Dr. Zhou's house. I was fascinated for a while, thinking that you might have money on you, and wanted to steal some money back to treat my mother, so I ...... Just ......" Zhou Tai knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said.

Luo Yin sighed and said: "Thirty taels of silver is not a lot of money, there should be a lot left after seeing the doctor, and I won't report it to the official if I return it." ”

Zhou Tai heard Luo Yin say that he could not report to the official, so he hurriedly took out the silver from his pocket, and said to Luo Yin guiltily: "There are only so many left, the medicines prescribed by the doctors in the city are very expensive, and the money is almost gone......"

Luo Yin looked at the fact that there were only about four or five taels of silver left in his hand, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and reached out to take the silver back.

After thinking about it, he took two taels of silver and handed it to Zhou Taidao: "That money should be your reward for saving me." As for the two taels of silver, you can take it and buy some delicious food for your mother, she just needs to make up for her body when she is sick. ”

After saying this, he turned around and left, leaving only Zhou Tai kneeling on the ground and thanking him.

Although Zhou Tai stole his own silver this time, if he hadn't found himself seriously injured and sent himself to Dr. Zhou, he would have died long ago.

Therefore let the money be repaid for saving his life.

As for why he gave him another two taels of silver, it was because he thought of his parents who were separated from him by two lifetimes.

After his illness and death, I don't know if the second elder is okay.

He said silently in his heart: "Mom and Dad, don't worry, your son is still alive, you have to take good care of yourself in that world......"
