Tang Shiyue took a long breath angrily and ran all the way to find the village doctor.
She had been busy all day, and she was young and lacked strength. She ran over with Xiao Yao'er in her arms all the way. She was so tired that she couldn't even stand on her heels and said, "Doctor, my sister is sick. Please help me take a look!"
The village doctor stood up calmly and wiped his hands.
The village doctor’s surname is Chen. He is over fifty years old. He has a goatee and is thin. He looks like a scholar. It is said that this village doctor used to be a doctor in the town, but later he offended someone and returned to his hometown to become a doctor.
The village doctor has very good medical skills.
He sat down, calmly checked Xiao Yao'er's pulse, and said as soon as he put his hand on her, "Why did you send her here after it was so serious! If it were a little later, we could have collected the body directly!"
The words were unpleasant, but Tang Shiyue couldn't care less about being angry at the moment: "I went up the mountain and just came back. Doctor Chen, what do you think is the best way to handle it?"
The village doctor took his pulse, examined it carefully, lifted his clothes and pressed his belly, and then said: "It's not good! It's been burning for at least four or five hours, and the baby is too young! It's been delayed! It's not good.
manage!"
Tang Shiyue said: "Please, use whatever medicine you have! You must save my sister!"
"Just use it?" The village doctor raised his eyelids and said, "That's a big deal. Can you afford the money?"
Tang Shiyue also noticed something in his anxiety: "How much silver is needed?"
The village doctor looked at her coldly with a pair of slender eyes: "Your mother-in-law calls me over every three days to see a doctor. She always gives me a prescription but doesn't take the medicine. Although they are all from the countryside, I don't charge a consultation fee, but I don't charge a consultation fee."
I don’t have to be like Tian Tian’er, and you, even though you are cured now, you were suffering from three diseases and two diseases at the beginning. Your grandma is used to picking things with her hands, so she doesn’t know how much she owes me..."
Take advantage of the situation!
He was clearly taking advantage of the situation!
Tang Shiyue lowered her eyes, covering up the cold light in her eyes, and begged in a low voice: "Doctor Chen, the sick wait for no one, can you treat my sister first?"
"Why are you so anxious?" the village doctor said, "I am not saying this to settle old scores with you, but I just want to tell you that from now on, you will not be able to take advantage of me! If your sister is in the current situation, I can
Let me tell you clearly, even if I send you to the town hospital,
They must also be using the method of clearing the bowels and releasing heat... As soon as the medicine is applied, it will ease the bowels and purge the hot knots, and the fever will subside. It will be effective immediately. You are still grateful to him! In fact, these years old babies, this action
It’s a disgrace to my body and I won’t be able to adjust in a few years!”
He slowly washed his hands while talking: "Although my medical skills are not good, you can't find someone better than me. I have two methods. One is what I just said, which is to relieve heat through the intestines and only absorb the blood."
Two hundred articles, what kind of warming tonic will be done after that?
None of the medicines are very effective, so you don’t have to ask her to drink them, and I won’t cheat your money. The other kind is to dispel evil spirits through sweating and make the evil heat spread, supplemented by other supplements. Although it is a little slower, it is definitely not the best medicine.
It will hurt this little kid's fundamentals, so I only charge you three taels of silver."
Tang Shiyue kept observing his expression.
Taking advantage of the situation is a sure thing.
But he was extremely confident when he talked about his treatment methods. He probably wasn't deceiving people in this regard. At most, he was just selling cheap medicine at a high price.
Tang Shiyue lowered his eyes, and his voice seemed to be crying: "Doctor Chen, although I still have a little money on hand, my brother is about to hand over to Shu Xiu. Even if we don't eat or drink, Shu Xiu has to pay.
Yes, please forgive me."
"I understand you, but do you understand me?" the village doctor sneered. He thought for a moment and then pinched his beard: "Let's do it this way. I only charge you two taels of silver for medicine. I heard you are used to beating me."
For hares, just add five more hares!”
Seeing Xiao Yao'er's face flushed with fever and her hands and feet twitching from time to time, Tang Shiyue felt very distressed. She really didn't have time to argue with him, so she bowed her head and agreed.
The village doctor immediately waited for her to come up with the money, and even wrote an IOU, stating that Tang Shiyue owed him five hares, which he would pay back within ten days, and if he couldn't pay back, he would add one more every two days.
, and asked her to press her fingerprints.
Seeing that he had been taking his time, Tang Shiyue felt resentful and anxious, but could only grit his teeth and wait patiently.
The village doctor put away the IOU and then began to treat Xiao Yao'er. Fortunately, he had a lot of medicine at home, and his wife was also a skilled helper. Later, he also used wine and needles to assist, looking very skilled and determined.
Mrs. Wang also came in at some point, sitting next to her and crying. Tang Shiyue just watched quietly until the village doctor stopped her hand, drank the medicine, and the fever subsided slightly.
At one o'clock, the village doctor said: "Okay, she will stay with me tonight. You can leave one of you to take care of her."
Tang Shiyue nodded, "I'll stay and take care of you." She looked at Ms. Wang with a calm expression: "Go back early."
Mrs. Wang cried twice more before she went back crying all the way. It was already late at night, and she could still hear the crying even after she had walked far away. The village doctor couldn't help but said: "I'm crying like this. I don't know, I thought I was a child."
Dead!"
Tang Shiyue didn't say a word, lowering her head and listening to the village doctor's instructions.
After the village doctor gave the instructions, he closed the door and went to sleep. Tang Shiyue touched the little sister's forehead from time to time and saw that she was humming like a puppy. She was obviously very uncomfortable, and she felt distressed.
Mrs. Wang is really the best. Xiao Yao'er has always been obedient and worry-free. She doesn't need to coax at all, she just takes care of her. That's all she can't do! Listening to her words, Xiao Yao'er spent a whole day burning
!If it were a little later, it might really burn to death!
So, what the hell is the use of such a mother-in-law!? Is it just to add trouble?
But regardless of whether it is useful or not, whether it is a hindrance or not, she can't touch her because she has her own mother's name.
Tang Shiyue grinded his teeth, lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and put aside the problem for the time being.
Fortunately, the people in the village only knew that she sold Hedyotis for ten taels of silver, and no one knew about the more than eighty taels that Granny Sun gave her. She spent more than five taels on shopping for groceries that day, and now she went out for another two taels. After that, everyone
In her eyes, she didn't have much money.
Therefore, you must be careful in the future. No matter what you sell, don’t go with the villagers. The big news will spread all over the city, and even the village doctor will take advantage of it!
Of course she can make a fortune, and she must make a fortune, but it is not possible at this stage. Now, in the eyes of others, she must be difficult and miserable before she can take the next step!
But the town is too far away, and it would be difficult for her to sneak there alone without going with the villagers...
She suddenly thought of Qi Jing again. How did he usually go to town? He was good at walking, so why not ask him to help sell whatever he got in the future? Give him a commission?
There were still many things to think about in her heart, but her young body could not hold on any longer. Her eyelids kept trembling and she fell asleep without realizing it.
When the village doctor and his wife got up in the morning, Xiao Yao'er's fever had subsided, and she opened her eyes drowsily and called her: "Sister."
Tang Shiyue hummed and asked a few words in a low voice. Seeing the village doctor's wife lighting a fire to cook porridge, she went over and said, "Ms. Chen, please add more rice and give it to me and my sister in two bowls. If you want to make something to eat, please give it to me."
Give us some."
The village doctor's wife rolled her eyes: "My dear, we also need money to buy our rice. Our head is too weak to farm, and the people in the village are always late when they see a doctor. The days..."
Tang Shiyue said calmly: "We will give you money."
"...It's been a really hard life... huh?" The village doctor's wife came back to her senses, she was a little embarrassed, and then she said with a smile: "Okay, I'll add some more rice and make biscuits this morning. The little lady will be with us.
Let’s go together.”
Tang Shiyue thanked her lightly. (To be continued)
