Chapter 5: Pain and Humiliation
In the inner room, Yun Yi, who hurriedly ran into it, looked at Hua Ruo's painstaking pull of the pale mica that fell to the ground and cried bitterly, only to feel a dizziness in his head, and an inexplicable pain poured out of his heart like a tide, so painful that Yun Yi almost suffocated, and his hands and feet were a little soft for a while: "No"
"Auntie!" Then the fat man who came in saw such a scene in the house, his face also changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help mica, and his fat fingers probed Mica's snort, and then hurriedly said: "Don't worry, there is still gas! You look at it, I'll call the third uncle." ”
The fat man, who was busy getting up, ran outside with great strides like the earth shaking.
"Mother!" Yun Yi, who screamed in pain, hurriedly stepped forward and threw himself beside Mica, picked it up with tears in his eyes, staggered to the side of the bed, and carefully placed it on the bed.
"Brother, mother, she'll be fine, right?" Hua Ruo on the side was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, looking at Yun Yi with teary eyes, and asked nervously.
Yun Yi, who was kneeling in front of the bed, shook his head and said busily: "No, my mother will definitely be fine, I will definitely not."
After a long while, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps and the anxious shouts of the fat man, a gray-haired, emaciated old man came panting with a dilapidated medical kit on his back.
"Hurry up, third uncle, hurry up and show the eldest lady!" the fat man said hurriedly, and as he spoke, he dragged the third uncle to the side of the bed.
The third uncle, who didn't know when one of the shoes fell, shook off the fat man's hand angrily, looked at Mica's face, and suddenly his face became a little solemn, and he didn't have time to put down the medicine box, so he hurriedly sat sideways on the edge of the bed, stretched out his thin hand and began to take the pulse of Mica.
"Third uncle, how is it?" the fat man asked anxiously.
"Don't be noisy!" The third uncle, who had lost a few teeth and was a little leaky in his speech, glared at the fat man and took his pulse seriously.
Hua Ruo on the side hurriedly pulled the fat man: "Brother Fat Cai, don't make a mess, let the third uncle help my mother take a good look." ”
"Come, take it for me, take it!" After only a moment, the third uncle, who was frowning, hurriedly handed the medicine box to the fat man, opened it, and took out a cloth bag that looked a little worn out and opened it, revealing some dense silver needles inserted in it.
The third uncle, who took the silver needle and pricked it at several important acupuncture points on the mica body with a serious and solemn face, felt the pulse of the mica again, and then shook his head and sighed.
"Third uncle, is it my mother, she" Hua Ruo said, and tears flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"I said earlier, your mother is sick from hard work and can't move, what happened to make him angry like this?" the third uncle frowned and asked.
The fat man glanced at Yun Yi, who was depressed, and then said carefully: "Third uncle, Xiaoyi owes money in the gambling house, and today the gold ingots are looking for you, and the eldest lady should have heard the sound of talking outside, so it's so."
"What?" When the third uncle heard this, he immediately glared and pointed at Yun Yi: "What a thing that is not angry! I have no rule for this disease, please be smart!"
As he spoke, the third uncle, who was huffing, closed the medicine box, picked it up and was about to get up and leave.
"Third uncle!" Hua Ruo couldn't help but kneel down with tears: "Please, save my mother!"
Yun Yi, who stood up suddenly, suddenly came to the third uncle and stopped him.
"What's the matter, you stinky boy still want to be rough with me?" the third uncle couldn't help but glared when he saw Yun Yi's menacing appearance.
Yun Yi, who knelt down suddenly, said in a deep voice: "Third uncle, please save my mother!"
"You" The third uncle who was stunned still said angrily: "Why did you go early? beg me now, it's too late!"
"Oh, third uncle, you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even if you look at Hua Ruo's sake, you can't ignore it!" The fat man hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the third uncle and said, "Third uncle, please, why don't I kneel down for you too?"
The third uncle directly shook off the fat man's hand: "Don't come to this set! The old man is not a fairy, can he still come back to life?"
"Third uncle, is my mother really hopeless?" Yun Yi looked up at the third uncle with red eyes.
The third uncle, who glanced at Yunyi, was slightly silent before saying, "If you can get a hundred years old ginseng, there should be hope to save your mother's life." ”
"Hundred-year-old ginseng?" The fat man was stunned when he heard this: "Third uncle, are you kidding? Don't talk about hundred-year-old ginseng, even if it is one or twenty-year-old ginseng, it's not cheap! Hundred-year-old ginseng, it seems that I have only heard that there is one in the town's Baicaotang, right? That is the treasure of the town store of Baicaotang, I heard that last time someone offered a thousand taels of silver, the Baicao Fairy was not sold!"
Yun Yi, whose eyes lit up, got up with his hands clasped and hurriedly walked out.
Seeing this, the third uncle, who was stunned, couldn't help but squint his eyes flickering.
"Hey, Xiaoyi, why are you going?" the fat man hurriedly chased after him, and grabbed Yun Yi in the courtyard and said busily.
Yun Yi said in a deep voice: "Go to Baicaotang and ask for a hundred years old ginseng!"
"Are you crazy? What about a thousand taels of silver! You should be a thousand dollars? Where are you going? If you don't have any money, can the Hundred Herb Fairy give it to you?" the fat man said angrily.
"No matter what, I must get a century-old ginseng to save my mother," Yun Yi, who said in a deep voice, directly shook off the fat man's hand and rushed out the door.
"Crazy!" The fat man, who was stunned and muttered, reacted and hurriedly followed: "Hey, wait for me!"
On the streets of Panlong Town, people come and go very lively, and Yunyi soon came to the largest and only pharmacy in the town - Baicaotang.
"Brother Yun, buy medicine for your mother?" The young man behind the counter looked up and saw Yun Yi and couldn't help but smile.
Looking at the guy with burning eyes, Yun Yi said directly in a deep voice: "I want a hundred years old ginseng!"
"What?" the guy was stunned, blinked slightly, and asked uncertainly, "What do you want?"
"I said, I want a hundred-year-old ginseng!" Yun Yi said almost like a roar, instantly quieting the entire Baicao Hall.
Not far away, the emaciated old man who was sitting on the Taishi chair with a small teapot and squinting and tasting tea couldn't help but open his eyes and glanced at Yun Yi: "Do you want a hundred years old ginseng?"
He is the shopkeeper of Baicaotang, and he is also the doctor who sits in the hall, and Chang Baicao, nicknamed 'Baicao Fairy'.
"Yes!" Yun Yi turned his head to look at him, and said in a deep voice.
"Oh, then how much money are you going to pay?" Chang Baicao sat up slowly, got up and walked slowly to Yun Yi, looked Yun Yi up and down, and continued to ask with a smile.
Yun Yi said: "I have no money, only this life!"
"Boy, are you going to make fun of me?" Chang Baicao's face sank.
"Doctor Chang, my mother is seriously ill and urgently needs a century-old ginseng to save her life, please be merciful. As long as you can save my mother's life, my Yunyi's life is yours," Yunyi said busily.
Chang Baicao, who was stunned, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and turned his head up and laughed.
Chang Baicao, whose laughter slowly subsided, couldn't help but reach out and tap Yunyi's chest and sneered: "Boy, filial piety is commendable! It's a pity that you can't even afford a single ginseng of my hundred-year-old ginseng." Get out of here, don't get in the way of my business!"
Chang Baicao, who was speaking, slapped Yun Yi's chest casually, and Yun Yi flew out with the whole person.
Peng fell Yunyi, who was on the street outside, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but he still gritted his teeth and hurriedly covered his chest and got up and knelt outside the Baicaotang: "Doctor Chang, the heart of the doctor's parents, please show mercy and save my mother's life, I Yunyi will remember your great kindness and repay it a hundred times and a thousand times in the future." ”
"A hundredfold and a thousand-fold repayment? Just you?" Chang Baicao tilted his head and drank the tea in the small teapot, slowly came to the door of Baicaotang, shook his finger at Yun Yi and sneered: "Boy, if you don't have money, you won't have a hundred years of ginseng to buy." Even if you die on your knees here, it's useless. ”
Glancing at the crowd of onlookers around him, Chang Baicao couldn't help frowning and snorted coldly: "What are you arguing about here?" Get out, get out of here!"
"Doctor Chang, who made you angry?" With a clear laugh, the crowd automatically parted.
Looking at the handsome boy who walked with a folding fan in his hand surrounded by a group of thugs and servants, Chang Baicao couldn't help but smile a little politely: "Yo, isn't this Young Master Jin?"
"Doctor Chang!" Jin Yuanbao returned the salute to Chang Baicao casually, and then looked surprised when he saw Yun Yi: "Ouch, isn't this my future brother-in-law?
Seeing this, Chang Baicao's eyes flashed and smiled: "What, Young Master Jin, do you know each other?"
"This is my future brother-in-law, Doctor Chang, what's going on?" said Jin Yuanbao with a smile.
Chang Baicao said: "Oh, that's right! He wants to come to me to buy my hundred-year-old ginseng, saying that he wants to save his mother." But he doesn't have any money, and you say that I'm not a good hall here, so how can I give it to him for nothing?"
"Oh, that's what you said," Jin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and then looked at Yun Yi with a flash of eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, future brother-in-law, you said that we are almost a family, why don't you tell me that my mother-in-law is sick? You beg him to beg me, you just kneel down and beg me, and I will immediately buy that hundred-year-old ginseng for my future mother-in-law, how about it?"
