Chapter Fifty-Nine: Dr. Zhang
The next day, early morning.
Xiao saw that Xue was still asleep, and Su Ling'er suddenly woke him up in a hurry, and she said with an anxious face: "Oh no, Brother Gu's body suddenly began to get hot!"
Xiao Guanxue hurriedly got up and went over to visit, but saw Gu Changtian's face as white as paper, drenched in sweat, and a pair of fleshy lips that were even more dry and cracked, he couldn't help frowning and said, "His wound has deteriorated, we must call him a doctor immediately!"
"However, this is a ghost town, will there be a doctor?" Su Ling'er looked at Xiao Jianxue very anxiously.
"Anyway, go out and try your luck, you take care of him here first, and I'll go out to find a doctor right away. Xiao Kanxue said this, and hurriedly left the Penglai gambling house.
At this time, the number of pedestrians on the street had gradually increased, but everyone who passed by the Penglai Gambling House couldn't help but glance inside, and everyone wanted to see if Sun Jiu was inside.
Xiao Kanxue asked if there was a doctor in this town when he saw people along the way, but no one dared to answer, and everyone heard his question, so they left in a hurry, which made him very annoyed.
Xiao Guanxue had no results all the way, and only got Zhang's iron shop, wanting to ask for some news from Zhang Laohan.
His sudden appearance really startled Zhang Laohan, and Zhang Laohan said with a frightened face: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Xiao Kanxue glanced at Zhang Laohan very suspiciously, and said with a smile: "In broad daylight, where did the ghost come from?"
"If you weren't a ghost, how could you escape from Sword Capture Villa alive?" Zhang Laohan still couldn't hide his fear.
"Look at me, where do I look like a ghost?" Xiao Guanxue couldn't help but turn around in place.
Zhang Laohan had the courage to touch Xiao Guanxue's hand, feeling that his hand was warm, and then he said with joy: "You are really a person, you are really a person!"
Xiao Guanxue smiled faintly: "Dare to ask the old man, is there a doctor here?"
When Zhang Laohan heard this, he suddenly turned around, walked to the stove, and said coldly: "I am here to make iron, only iron, nothing else, you better go to another house to ask!"
Xiao Guanxue looked at Zhang Laohan very suspiciously, and couldn't help asking: "Why are you so scared when you mention the doctor? A friend of mine is seriously injured, if there is no doctor, he will probably have to worry about his life, but I beg the old man to look at the thin face of the younger generation and give him a clear way!"
"It's not that I don't help, but if I help you, I'm afraid my old life will be gone!" Zhang Laohan sighed helplessly after speaking.
"Why is this?" Old man, please speak bluntly, if someone is in trouble, you must stand up to help!" Xiao Guanxue said very decisively.
"Don't hide it from you, you said, there is indeed a doctor in this town, but he never dares to see a doctor privately. Zhang Laohan slowly turned around and sat down very weakly.
"Why is that? How can he support his family without seeing a doctor?" Xiao Kanxue wondered.
"Childe doesn't know, this person is also forced!" Zhang Laohan sighed when he said this, and then said: "It's all the Sword Snatching Villa, this village is too domineering! Everyone who wants to see a doctor in the vicinity has to go there to pay the 'medical tax', and only after paying the money can they go to the doctor to see a doctor." โ
"There is such a thing?" Xiao Guanxue opened her mouth wide in shock.
"There is also a tyrant here, that is, Sun Jiu of the Penglai Gambling House, this person suppressed the people, specializing in collecting taxes and silver for the villa, and now she somehow left the Penglai Gambling House, according to the old man's speculation, she may go to the villa to pay the silver. I don't want you to meet her at the villa, so I don't know. Zhang Laohan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he said this!
"This Sword Snatching Villa is too domineering!" Xiao Guanxue said angrily.
"Childe whisper, so as not to get into trouble!"
Zhang Laohan said that he got up in a hurry, stretched out his head and looked out of the door for a long time, and then said boldly: "If the son really wants to save people, you can wait for Sun Jiu to come back, and then go to the villa to pay the 'medical tax', and then ask a doctor, so that you can be considerate!"
"If that's the case, wouldn't my friend have given his life in vain?" Xiao Guanxue said this, and hurriedly knelt down for Zhang Laohan, "The younger generation has the courage to implore Mr. Zhang, please inform the doctor of his whereabouts, save my friend from trouble, if he is deeply grateful, he will be repaid in the next life!"
Zhang Laohan hurriedly helped Xiao Guanxue up and said: "Don't force the son, the old man really doesn't dare to be!"
"If the old man doesn't agree, the younger generation won't be able to kneel!" Xiao Guanxue said and knelt in place very resolutely, letting Zhang Laohan help each other in every possible way.
Zhang Laohan was so helpless that he had to say with his heart crossed: "The old man has lived for such a long time, and he is tired of it, if he can save someone's life today, it will also be regarded as accumulating yin virtue!
When Xiao Guanxue heard this, she hurriedly stood up.
"From here, go south, go west at the second alley, and when you reach the end, you can see a thatched house, which is Dr. Zhang's home. Zhang Laohan said.
"Thank you, uncle!" Xiao Guanxue hurriedly bowed to Zhang Laohan again, and then went to Dr. Zhang's house.
When Xiao Kanxue rushed to Dr. Zhang's house, Dr. Zhang was making medicine, and he didn't notice Xiao Kanxue at all, so Xiao Kanxue casually said "Dr. Zhang" so scared that he almost threw away the medicine pestle.
"Who?" said Dr. Zhang.
"Me!" Xiao Guanxue walked over slowly, "I'm here to ask Dr. Zhang to see a doctor for my friend, this is ten taels of silver!"
Doctor Zhang glanced at the ten taels of silver in Xiao Guanxue's hand, and didn't pay attention to it at all, but said, "Have you ever paid taxes and silver in Sword Snatching Villa?"
"No, I didn't. โ
"Then what are you doing here?" said Dr. Zhang, waving his hand, "Go and pay the tax and come back!"
"The matter is urgent, and I haven't handled it, can Dr. Zhang go to the doctor first, and then I will pay the tax and silver later?" Xiao Kanxue explained.
"No!" Dr. Zhang said, picking up the medicine pestle on the ground and only caring about pounding the medicine.
When Xiao Guanxue heard this, the long sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath and landed on Dr. Zhang's neck: "If you want to leave, you can go quickly, and if you are later, your head will fall to the ground!"
Dr. Zhang hurriedly threw away the pestle in his hand, and said with a frightened face: "I'll leave now!"
Although if you go, you will die, but if you don't go, you will die immediately, and he knows this very well in his heart, so he cooperates so much.
Xiao Guanxue and Dr. Zhang soon arrived at the Penglai Gambling House, right at the door, Dr. Zhang said that he didn't want to go in, and in desperation, Xiao Jianxue had to repeat the old trick, which forced Dr. Zhang in.
Dr. Zhang walked into the Penglai gambling house tremblingly, checked Gu Changtian's injuries in a cold sweat, and then, with shaking hands, wrote a prescription, but he couldn't even go down the stairs!
"What about his injuries?" Xiao Guanxue asked very calmly.
"External injuries are easy to treat, but internal injuries need to be treated. Dr. Zhang said.
"Doctor, why are you so scared?" Su Ling'er really couldn't figure out what was worth being so frightened here.
"It's the first time I've come to this kind of place, so I'm inevitably a little scared!" Dr. Zhang said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Xiao Guanxue couldn't help but glance at Su Ling'er and said, "It can be seen that Sun Jiu is still here!"
Su Ling'er couldn't help but say angrily: "Isn't it just a bully, it's really a sin!"
"Don't talk about it, you don't know anything about it!" Dr. Zhang said with great trepidation.
"Doctor, don't be afraid, with us here, Sun Jiu won't dare to trouble you!" Xiao looked at the snow road.
"The two of you are not afraid of Sun Jiu, but you can't be afraid of old decay!" Doctor Zhang swallowed his saliva when he said this, "When it comes to Sun Jiu in this town, even a three-year-old baby doesn't dare to cry at night, let alone be said to be old!"
"Since Sun Jiu is so scary, why do people still come here to gamble for money?" Xiao Guanxue asked.
"Sun Jiu called someone, who dared not come? I knew that he was here to lose money, but those who didn't come would have to lose their lives!" Doctor Zhang couldn't help but cry in his eyes when he said this, "What a sin!"
"Then the government doesn't care?" Su Ling'er said angrily.
Last year, a group of officers and soldiers said they would come to arrest her, but before they could reach the town, they were wiped out! Since then, no one has come to take care of this idle matter!" Zhang Laohan said.
When Xiao Guanxue heard this, she couldn't help but say angrily: "If Sun Jiu doesn't get rid of it, there will be no peace!"
"Childe, don't talk like that! Thinking that there are many people in the Sword Snatching Villa, the two are definitely not opponents!" Zhang Laohan couldn't help but persuade.
"There are so many of them, where do the daily expenses come from?" Su Ling'er couldn't help but ask.
"Who in the whole town doesn't pay taxes to the villas? What's more, they also loot big families everywhere, just like bandits! Alas, pity those people!" said Dr. Zhang, with tears in his eyes.
At this time, I suddenly heard a gong ringing on the street, and a person wearing a red power suit ran around the street, shouting: "Good news! Good news! From now on, Sun Jiu will be replaced as the owner of the Sword Villa, and all miscellaneous taxes will be exempted from all the future! Everyone will tell each other!"
When Dr. Zhang heard this, he hurriedly ran to the window to watch, and after listening for a long time, he still said with a blank face: "I heard me right, right?
Xiao watched Xue for a long time, and said with great certainty: "You heard it right!"
Dr. Zhang suddenly fell to his knees and prayed to the heavens: "Thank you, thank you!"
"Isn't this Sun Jiumo's brain in water?" Su Ling'er said with a smile.
"Perhaps, she is here to buy people's hearts!" Xiao looked at the snow road.
"In that case, the income of the villa will be cut off, and I will see how she can support the villa!" Su Linger said with a smile.
"Sun Jiu has nine eyes, I think since she dares to do this, she must have her way to make money!" Xiao Guanxue said lightly.
When Dr. Zhang said this, he suddenly stood up and said very happily: "No, I have to ask again, if that's the case, I will set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate what I say today!"
"Doctor, what should I do about my friend's injury?" Xiao Guanxue hurriedly grabbed Dr. Zhang and said.
"I've already treated his external injuries, and it is estimated that he will heal in less than a month, but his internal injuries will not work!" Dr. Zhang said.
"How long does the internal injury last?" asked Su Ling'er.
"His true yuan has been lost too much, his true qi has been seriously lost, and he must have fought with people, and he has also suffered serious internal injuries, so he can only slowly adjust now, and he can't be anxious. Dr. Zhang said.
"How long will it take?" Xiao Guanxue said impatiently.
"One year as fast, two years as slow!" Dr. Zhang said.
"What, is there any other way?" said Su Ling'er very earnestly.
"The old man is only capable of this, and there is really no other way!, unlessโ" Dr. Zhang said, suddenly shaking his head, "That's almost impossible!"
"Unless it's something, you say it!" Su Ling'er glared at Doctor Zhang coldly.
"I heard that in order to build the 'Quanqingguan', the supreme real person once sold a 'Juyuan Dan' to the Sword Snatching Villa at a price of 300,000 taels, if the two sons can get the 'Juyuan Dan', then your friend's injury is bound to heal soon!"
When Dr. Zhang said this, he shook his head again, "However, this kind of thing is tantamount to pulling teeth from the mouth of a tiger, and it is really not easy to do!"
Xiao Guanxue couldn't help but glance at Su Ling'er and said, "It seems that 'Juyuan Dan' is still the key!"
"But, where did you find this Juyuan Dan?" said Su Ling'er and lowered her head in annoyance.
At this time, Dr. Zhang suddenly picked up the golden camellia on the table and said with a happy face: "Where did this flower come from?"
Su Ling'er glanced up at Dr. Zhang and said, "Why are you asking this flower?"
"The girl doesn't know, this flower is one of the main medicines for refining Juyuan Dan, I dare to say, even if there is no Juyuan Dan, but with this flower, the old decay can also prepare a dose of decoction for your friends to recuperate, I can't think of two months, the body will be fine, but this flower is precious, can be met but not sought, where did the girl get it?" Dr. Zhang said very happily.
"I don't know, it was left by a passerby!" Su Linger said.
"Please, girl, contact this passer-by quickly, if there is this flower, not only will your friends be fine, but I am afraid that more people will benefit in the future!" Dr. Zhang said and couldn't help but sniff the remnant flower.
"Can you please ask the doctor to leave the prescription first, and then he can find this flower one day, and then follow the prescription?" Xiao looked at the snow road.
"This is not difficult, the old decay will write it immediately!" Dr. Zhang said and wrote down the prescription for treating internal injuries.
At this time, Xiao looked at Xue and said: "Doctor, please go back first, we will find this flower in the future, and we will definitely tell each other in person!"
Dr. Zhang's eyes rolled and he smiled: "The old man retires!"
Waiting for Dr. Zhang to come out of the gambling house, Su Linger said, "Brother Xiao, isn't he going to Guangxi?"
"That's right, I'm about to go to Guangxi to find this flower! If the chance is lucky, I might as well take the opportunity to meet that 'eight-fingered thief'!" Xiao Guanxue said this, and smiled faintly.
When Su Ling'er heard this, she glanced at Xiao Guanxue very gently, and said in her heart: "In this way, you can go all the way with him!"
