Chapter 31 There is a strange doctor in the deep street
The deep alleys are filled with objects from the past, such as old buildings, broken stone slabs, and moss in the corners of the walls.
Although the sun is a bit strong outside, it is very cool here.
Zhang Ruochen and Jiujiu turned left and right, and finally stopped at an old pharmacy.
"What they said should be here."
This "they" refers to the orchestra and his group. After having dinner in a restaurant yesterday, Zhang Ruochen first asked them which pharmacy is better in Hangzhou.
They first chattered a lot, such as "Huichun Hall", "Miaoshou Pavilion", and "Renxin Hall".
Zhang Ruochen wrote down one by one, but at the end, when the few people were full and drunk, they were about to disperse.
Su Bai patted Zhang Ruochen on the shoulder and said, "If the Taoist priest wants to ask for a doctor, he can try it deep in the old street."
So, after Zhang Ruochen went to Huichun Hall, he came here straight.
"Senior Brother, is this here?" Jiujiu looked at the plaque that was about to fall off the door and frowned slightly: "Senior Brother, let's go to Miaoshou Pavilion or Renxintang to have a look."
After hearing this, Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "Huichuntang treats patients like slaughtering people, but mine is a meridian problem, and the treatment costs are quite expensive. The two you said are as famous as Huichuntang. I think I am so sad. Senior brother, I only have 825 taels of silver now, which is enough?"
Jiujiu quickly lowered her head, then suddenly raised her head and took out five hundred taels of silver notes from her body: "Senior Brother, do you see if you have enough?"
Zhang Ruochen stared at the silver notes in her hand, then looked at her with a slight squint: "Where did it come from?"
When he spoke, his tone also increased a lot. Five hundred taels of silver was nothing to a wealthy person, but for ordinary people, how many people have enough for a family to live for a long time?
Jiujiu's previous background should not have such a huge sum of money, so the problem is.
Where did this money come from?
Thinking of a certain possibility, Zhang Ruochen felt that he should ask carefully.
"This, Sister Yaoyao forced this money to me. She said it was a small amount of money and bought me candied haws. I didn't know how to read it. I thought it was really just a small amount of money. I also said that if I didn't want it, I just looked down on her." Jiujiu was frightened by Zhang Ruochen's serious expression and said timidly: "I, I'll give it back to her now."
"Since it was given by her, there is no need to. Keep it yourself. Thank her next time."
When I heard that Jiujiu’s money was given by Chu Yueyao, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the child did not do bad things, otherwise I really didn’t know how to deal with it.
Hey, why do I feel like a father?
"Senior brother was injured because of me. The money needs to be treated for the senior brother." Jiujiu said with a strong desire.
"How can you use your money to collect it yourself," Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said with a smile. This child is pretty good and knows how to care for people.
But I also sighed that the gap between the rich and the poor is so big. The 500 taels of silver is just a small amount of money, and I just gave it out casually, but I was exhausted and I had to work hard to make my body more than 800 taels.
This is, malice from the world.
"Then..." Jiujiu wanted to say something else.
Zhang Ruochen rubbed Jiujiu's little head and said softly: "No need... then this way, hide it and take it out when we are really at a loss."
Jiujiu nodded: "Well, then I will hide it well, without spending a minute, and without seeing anything."
"Let's go in, let's see how this clinic is. When you go back to teach you how to study, you don't even know what it says on the banknote..." Zhang Ruochen said as he walked into this dilapidated clinic.
Looking at Zhang Ruochen's back, some tears oozed out of Jiujiu's eyes.
"Can I read, can I also read? I just think of the children of rich families."
...
As soon as I entered the door, an old voice came. I looked over and saw an old man with white hair and wrinkles on his face.
Zhang Ruochen hurried forward and bowed.
The old man glanced at Zhang Ruochen, then glanced over Jiujiu behind him, and finally stopped at the sword on Zhang Ruochen's back.
After pondering for a moment, he spit out three words.
"Three hundred taels."
"Three hundred taels?" Zhang Ruochen was puzzled.
"That's right, three hundred taels, no charge for more, no selling for less." The old man pointed to a table and said, then turned around and entered the door and fiddled with his medicine.
Zhang Ruochen became more confused and became more interested. Before I could say what I wanted to do, you asked for money.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were faint and said, "Hang Hu to save the world, paying attention to looking, listening, asking questions and touching. As soon as I entered the door, the doctor asked for money. Is it inappropriate?"
This is true for Zhang Ruochen. If he has a good cultivation, if he encounters a bad temper, he will probably have already cursed him now.
The old man obviously heard what Zhang Ruochen meant and smiled and said, "You have been broken for most of your meridians and you should have lived a life soon, but your spiritual realm is still OK. If you force yourself to turn the world, gather spiritual energy, and condense your true energy. Therefore, you only need to continue practicing like this, and you can recover by yourself after six or seven months. But during this period, you feel that it is a bit long and not very satisfied..."
"I have always been direct, eighty taels."
The old man saw his physical condition at a glance. Zhang Ruochen's heart changed slightly, but there was no strange look on his face. He said calmly: "What the doctor said is very true. I really have something to delay and need to recover as soon as possible."
After careful consideration, the price here is indeed much lower than Huichuntang, and it just happened to be able to bear it.
So on the table the old man pointed to, he put down the silver and sat down and waited quietly for the old man.
Jiujiu did not sit down, but looked at everything in the room curiously. This was her first time in the clinic. There was no doctor in the village before.
At this time, a sad cat moan suddenly sounded outside, and then a few sounds of tiles hitting the ground.
The sound of the cat's meow is not nice and very harsh.
The sound of tiles is not nice and abrupt.
Jiujiu felt a little scared inexplicably and leaned towards Zhang Ruochen.
"Don't be afraid of little girl, this is just a cat next door making a mess." The old man took out several medicinal materials from several medicine cabinets, prepared them into a large bag, and handed them to Zhang Ruochen: "Give it, you can clear the money and goods."
Looking at the various medicines handed to him by the old man, Zhang Ruochen smiled even more inexplicably: "Doctor, don't you explain how to use them?"
"As the saying goes, nine out of ten doctors, how to use this thing, as a disciple of the Taoist sect, wouldn't you know?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled, didn't say anything, then put away his things and turned around and left with Jiujiu.
When he reached the door, Jiujiu suddenly asked, "Senior brother, are the doctors in the big city so... magical?"
Zhang Ruochen looked back at the plaque that was about to fall and said, "No, he may just be weird."
Of course, weird people are often strong in some aspects.
Zhang Ruochen felt that it was correct that he did not turn against him.
I know my purpose before I even entered the door.
Prophet before you know?
