Chapter 44: Harvesting
Doctor Xie naturally saw Lu Quan's hesitation, but he was just afraid of causing trouble for him!
He was right about Lu Quan, he was a good person!
Dr. Xie coughed slightly and lowered his voice to explain: "It's more convenient for me to take it back than for you to take it back. My home is a pharmacy after all. It's a store for business. As long as it's for medical treatment, I can't refuse it. Is it possible that others come to see a doctor?
Do I want to question all eight generations of my ancestors?"
This means that Lu Quan can rest assured that it is much safer to send it to the pharmacy than to his home.
"Send it to the pharmacy."
Lu Xiangge opened the curtain from the outside and came in, gently tugged on Lu Quan's sleeve, "If anyone asks about it then, please ask Uncle Xie to help cover it up."
Regardless of whether this man could be saved, the fact that he was so seriously injured shows that what he encountered was not a trivial matter.
Not to mention bringing it back and causing trouble to the family, it's hard to say whether it will cause any trouble at that time.
Send it to the drugstore, where it will be taken care of by doctors and store clerks. They only need to pay some money.
When the time comes that this man is alive and knows how to measure, he will naturally repay the money Lu Quan paid for the medicine. Even if he is dead, at least if the government asks, Doctor Xie will help cover it up, and Lu Quan will not be found if anything happens.
As for whether this person would thank Lu Quan and give him more silver gifts now that he was alive, Lu Xiange had never thought about it.
I am thankful to God if I can rescue the person and revive him safely.
But be sure not to add extraneous ramifications.
She was standing guard outside and did not hear what Doctor Xie said to Lu Quan, but her words hit the mark exactly what Lu Quan wanted to say.
Seeing that Xiao Si also asked Doctor Xie to take the person back, Lu Quan no longer hesitated.
Even if he is a good person, he still knows that this is the safest way now.
"Then I will help you send the person to the pharmacy."
With that said, Lu Quan was ready to help the person up with his hands.
"Need not."
Doctor Xie quickly stopped him, "His wound has just been sutured and he cannot move vigorously."
Hearing this, Lu Quan was dumbfounded. He couldn't move it and had to put it on his family's boat.
Then how to send it to Xie's pharmacy?
Doctor Xie pointed to the bifurcated river on the other side: "Paddle the boat to the back river. There is a Earth Temple over there. Just put the person in the open space next to the Earth Temple."
"Okay... okay?"
The Earth Temple is outside the town. It is overgrown with leaves and weeds, and few people pass by it on weekdays.
If you send people to the Tutu Temple, it will be much further away than from here to Xie's Pharmacy.
"Send it to you if I ask you to. Don't worry about the rest. Just remember to pay for the medicine."
After saying that, Doctor Xie didn't wait for Lu Quan to set up the board. He grabbed the branches on the shore and used his strength to swing ashore.
When Lu Quan rowed the boat to the Tutu Temple, he placed the man on the flat ground beside the Tutu Temple. He looked around for a long time but saw no one coming.
"Xiaosi..." Lu Quan asked hesitantly, "Is this okay for this person?"
Lu Sheige didn't know whether it would work or not, but there must be a reason why Dr. Xie ordered it to be sent here.
"Dad, let's go."
"Why."
Lu Quan responded, thought for a moment and took out all the copper coins he had on him and put them in the hands of the injured, then turned around and boarded the boat, punted away.
When I went to Nanyang Town today, Lu Quan brought some money, not much, less than a hundred coins.
These ninety-eight coins were all the belongings of the Lu family, and Lu Quan took them out and gave them to the injured.
On the way back, Lu Sheige comforted Lu Quan: "Dad, don't worry. I think this man is a lucky man and will not die."
"What do you know."
Lu Quan touched Xiaosi's head worriedly, "Dad is not worried about his life. Doctor Xie said that if he can be saved, he will not die..."
What he was worried about was why Doctor Xie said he was a member of the Hongying Army and sent him to the Tutu Temple.
The boat sailed far away, and Lu Quan was still looking at the Earth Temple.
The grass was lush and green, but not a single person was visible.
Could it be that Dr. Xie lied to him when he asked him to leave the person at Tutu Temple and said he would come to pick him up?
Just because this person is a member of the Hongying Army, did Doctor Xie do this on purpose?
"I thought, don't you have some money with your mother for medical treatment and life-saving? Dad went back and asked my mother for it. First, I would give Dr. Xie 10 taels of money to buy medicine for treatment. We can't help but let Dr. Xie pay for the medicine after we saved people."
Hearing this, Lu Quan couldn't help but stop and sit on the boat and think deeply.
There was indeed no money left at home, and this man was even more seriously injured than Xiao Si had been.
When Xiao Si was injured, the family still had some money left over, but these days, the family only has these ninety-eight copper coins.
This money is not enough to grab two sets of medicine, not to mention that this person is still at Dr. Xie's place, and he has to be taken care of by someone to eat, drink, and take medicine. It also costs a lot of money to eat and take medicine.
It was a lie to say that he didn't want to move, but Lu Quan still didn't agree: "I have to go back and ask your mother about this."
Ask your mother?
Asking your mother is probably out of the question.
It's not surprising that Lu Xiangge thinks this way, she actually has some understanding of Qiu and Lu Quan's personalities these days.
Lu Quan is the kind of good old man who is good at everything. I heard that when he has money on him, he will never refuse anyone as long as he asks to borrow it.
If you lend it out, you won't ask anyone to return it.
Even if his family's life is difficult and he doesn't have a good meal, he can still save a bite of his own food and give it to those who pass by the wild dock to escape the famine.
Qiu is different from Lu Quan. She is also kind, but only when she has the ability to spare.
Especially the bag of silver that Lu Xiangge gave her. She was not willing to touch it even when Lu Xiangge was sick and took medicine. She said she would leave it to Lu Xiangge for use. How could she give it to others now?
When the father and son returned to Ye Pier, before they had time to discuss with Qiu, they heard a commotion on the other side of the embankment.
"Someone said that a Hongying Army was brought into the town and they didn't know where they were hiding. The pavilion chief came to inquire and said that if anyone harbors a Hongying Army, they will be... severely punished..."
Li Guangguan, who was watching the excitement from the dike, was running home and learning to talk. Before he could finish his words, Lu Quan's face turned pale and he fell to the ground so weakly.
No, you're not here to find him, right?
Lu Shege stepped forward and supported Lu Quan: "Dad, I'm hungry. Let's eat first."
Lu Quanqiang's hands and feet were trembling so much that he could not speak. He forced himself to be helped into the cabin by Lu Xiangge. He sat down and could no longer stand up.
"Little Four."
Lu Xiaoqing, who was making clothes in the cabin, saw that Lu Quan looked wrong and immediately got up and came over, "What's wrong, dad?"
Lu Xiuge blocked Lu Xiaoqing and winked at her: "Dad has been rocking the boat for half a day and is very tired. Sister, go and bring the food to the boat for dad to eat."
It was already past meal time, so Qiu warmed the rice left for Lu Quan and Lu Xiaosi on the stove, and led Lu Xiaoli and Lu Xiaoyu to dig wild vegetables on the lake beach.
Only Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaowu, who was still sleeping, were left at home.
Soon, Lu Xiaoqing, who had gone to serve food on the stove, turned back and said, "Pavilion Chief, let's get on the boat."
Lu Sheige did not take the two large porcelain bowls from Lu Xiaoqing's hands. Instead, he turned around and lifted the curtain to look outside.
