Chapter 409: Something Happened in a Small Town (2)
The two of them looked at each other, and they were both surprised, Lu Xiaoyuan said: "Three taels of silver?
The young man sobbed and said, "I'm looking for the cheapest medical clinic nearby, and some medical centers cost ten taels of silver." β
Zhou Yingqi said: "Famous doctors gather here, and there are not a few medical centers, how can the cost of medical treatment be so much higher than that of other places?"
Suddenly, I heard a person say coldly: "People open a medical hall to make money, Tonghu Mountain is very famous, and there are countless rich people who come to seek medical advice, of course they ask for a price." β
Lu Xiaoyuan turned his head to look and saw that it was a white-bearded old man who spoke, and said, "In this way, how can ordinary people afford the medical expenses?"
The old man sneered: "In the past, some people wanted to move ordinary people out of this place, but they gave up because of the rugged mountains and the long distance. Ordinary people are all sick and dead, and the vacated space will not be able to build a few more medical centers and make more money?"
Lu Xiaoyuan said angrily: "Is it possible to ignore the lives of the people in order to make money? They raised the price and forced the people to die of serious illness, what is the difference between this and killing people!"
The old man said: "The children and grandchildren who build bridges and repair roads, and the children and grandchildren who kill people and set fires, what reason can be said, as long as you can be rich and rich, what is the way to really kill people and kill people?" sighed and left.
Lu Xiaoyuan looked at the young man and said, "Little brother, since we met is fate, let's go, I'll accompany you to the hospital, and I'll pay for the medical expenses." β
The young man was stunned, only to say that he had heard it wrong, and when Lu Xiaoyuan said it again, the young man was convinced and thanked him again and again.
He and Lu Xiaoyuan carried the middle-aged man, walked not far, and came to a medical hall, the signboard and faΓ§ade were a little old, but the lobby was full of people, and there were five doctors sitting behind the medicine cabinet, who were administering. As you can imagine, other medical centers are even more overcrowded.
Lu Xiaoyuan looked at the full hall of patients, and was secretly complaining, when a receptionist stepped forward and said, "This son, who came to seek medical treatment?"
Lu Xiaoyuan pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "It's this uncle who suffers from emphysema." β
After a brief check by the reception staff, he said, "He is very ill, and he can't be delayed, so can the son go through the convenient door?"
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "That's very good, thank you." β
The man led him to a wooden sign and said, "There are forty-two people waiting at the moment, which number is the son?"
The wooden plaque lists numbers from one to fifty, each number corresponding to a different amount of silver taels, "one" after "five hundred taels", "two" corresponds to "four hundred and eighty taels", and so on.
Lu Xiaoyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I'm going to add it to the sixteenth, do I have to pay two hundred and ten taels?"
The man smiled, "Exactly." β
Lu Xiaoyuan was angry and funny, picking and choosing, and said, "I want the twentieth." β
The man shouted, "Someone on the twentieth has been plugged." β
As soon as he finished speaking, there were complaints and curses in the hall, and dozens of angry eyes shot over, and Lu Xiaoyuan saw that these people were full of resentment, and he knew that his own gasai had delayed their diagnosis and treatment.
A six- or seven-year-old girl sighed when she saw the old woman, and asked with concern, "Grandma, are you sick again?" knelt on the bench and caressed the old woman's back with a pair of small hands.
The old woman put her arms around the little girl and said, "No." Ping'er, let's go back later, are you afraid?"
The little girl bent her arms and said seriously: "I'm not afraid, you see, I have muscles to protect grandma." β
Lu Xiaoyuan saw it in his eyes, struggled for a long time, and said, "Forget it, let's wait." β
The three of them watched the patient until it was dark, and finally it was their turn. As soon as the square-faced doctor walked to the straw mat, a guy came in from outside and shouted, "Doctor Yang, you have bought your duck vermicelli soup." β
Lu Xiaoyuan saw that the doctor had the intention of taking a step, and hurriedly said: "Doctor, this uncle is very sick, please treat him and prescribe medicine as soon as possible." β
The square-faced doctor rolled his eyes, waved his hand at the guy, and said, "Put it on the cabinet." He turned around and walked towards the inner room, leaving behind a cold sentence: "Carry it to the inner room." β
Lu Xiaoyuan and the young man carried the person in and put him on the bed, and the square-faced doctor was about to check the pulse, but the middle-aged man started to get sick, spit out a mouthful of yellow water, turned over and over on the bed, and moaned endlessly.
The square-faced doctor smelled a stench, frowned, waved his hand and slapped the man's face, and said angrily: "Don't move, be honest!"
The man was very uncomfortable, his mind was blurred, and he still kept moving, and the square-faced doctor was even more annoyed, and pressed his hand on the man's chest, and said loudly: "Can't you hear it, don't move!"
Zhou Ying saw his rough movements, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, can't you be polite? He is already in pain, why are you working so hard?"
The square-faced doctor stared, his face sank, and he said sharply: "What are you here for?
Zhou Ying's voice lowered and said, "I just let you ....."
The square-faced doctor didn't give up: "Are you here to treat the disease or to find a ballast?"
Lu Xiaoyuan picked him up and said, "We're here to find ballast, are you satisfied now?" stretched out his arm and threw him out.
The doctor's back hit the hard floor, and the bones of his whole body seemed to be broken, and he shouted, "Come on, someone's making trouble.....!"
As soon as he shouted, more than a dozen men in Tsing Yi armed with short sticks arrived, and the person led by him came to Lu Xiaoyuan and said sharply: "Why are you beating people!"
Lu Xiaoyuan said: "It was he who first treated the patient badly and then yelled at my companion before I did it." The patient paid and waited for several hours, could it be that he came to see his face? A man of low moral character like him did not deserve to sit here. β
Many of the patient's family members who were onlookers had been angry with the doctor, but the patient was hanging in his hand and didn't dare to turn his face with him.
The leader was speechless and sneered: "You are amazing." As he spoke, he reached out and pulled Lu Xiaoyuan's collar.
Lu Xiaoyuan sideways to dodge, grabbed his wrist, and with a little force, the man screamed like a pig, and involuntarily fell to his knees.
The rest of the people saw that the leader was at a loss, and his fierce face was revealed, shouting and raising a stick to beat, Lu Xiaoyuan's claws poked out, and a whirlwind of air hit the big man in Tsing Yi, they couldn't hold it, the iron rod took off his hand, and flew down at Lu Xiaoyuan's feet.
Lu Xiaoyuan sneered: "You are even more powerful. With a wave of his hand, the iron rod on the ground was stirred by the air current, and swirled and hit the men, "Oops, bang, wow" The sound rang out repeatedly, and the men were knocked to the ground. After all, he didn't use all his strength, otherwise these people would not have escaped the scourge of splitting their heads.
