On the bluestone street of Hongfeng Town, due to the rain, there were fewer stalls on the street. There were only a few breakfast shops facing the street, which propped up raincloth tents and exposed steaming steamed dumplings.
A middle-aged man wearing a green gown, holding a black briefcase in his hand, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and his hair parted and combed meticulously, hurried past on the bluestone slab.
"Oh, Doctor Liu!"
Suddenly he heard someone calling him, he stopped, pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked at the person.
He immediately recognized him as Uncle Jiu from Yizhuang outside the city.
In Hongfeng Town, Uncle Jiu is very famous.
"Oh, it turns out to be Uncle Jiu."
Doctor Liu quickly and politely bowed his hand to Uncle Jiu.
Then he looked at the person behind Uncle Jiu.
Ren Tingting, now the richest man in Hongfeng Town, is also a well-known beauty. Ever since Mrs. Ren’s incident, she has often been seen running to Yizhuang outside the city. She is familiar with Uncle Jiu, and Uncle Jiu is also very protective of her. It’s not surprising.
.
The strange thing is that she was holding a six or seven-month-old child in her arms, and she didn't know whose it belonged to.
Next to her is the talented scholar Qiu Sheng, the disciple of Uncle Jiu.
Finally, his eyes rested on an unfamiliar face.
Wearing a light-colored suit, there is a butterfly-shaped brooch on the collar. The butterfly is woven with gold wire and inlaid with large and small red and sapphires. It shines brightly. At a glance, you can tell that this person is either rich or noble.
"I, Zhou Yang."
Seeing Doctor Liu looking at him, Zhou Yang introduced himself.
Today, Zhou Yang changed into a light blue casual suit. The elasticity is very comfortable. It feels like he is not wearing anything when he wears it. It does not hinder physical activities at all.
"Mr. Zhou."
Doctor Liu cupped his hands towards Zhou Yang.
Uncle Jiu asked Doctor Liu: "I heard that the hospital in town has a new machine that can see the inside of the human body. I wonder if I can give Wen Cai a check?"
"Oh? What happened to Wencai?"
Doctor Liu looked at Wencai.
Wencai was listless at this time, his face was pale, and his eyes looked lifeless.
His eyes squinted feebly, but suddenly some inexplicable brilliance burst out. Looking along his gaze, well - a long-legged young man holding a printed paper umbrella and wearing a simple and elegant blue high-cut cheongsam.
Sister, while admiring the long street of spring rain, she walked gracefully and slowly on the bluestone street.
Uncle Jiu felt angry and raised his hand, but seeing Wen Cai's appearance looking so pitiful, he finally refused to fight.
"Master said I have parasites and wants to check it out."
Wen Cai noticed Uncle Jiu's movements, quickly straightened his eyes, and said to Dr. Liu.
Uncle Jiu did what he did last night and drew a few disease-dispelling talismans and spring rain talismans. This morning he burned the talisman water and gave Wencai a pinch of his nose and drank it down. Although Wencai woke up, he still looked sick and had a face.
There was no blood on it either.
The usual methods didn't work, so I took Wencai to the hospital first to see the machine that could see into the human body that was being spread around the town these days.
"The machine doesn't work well. It broke after just a few uses. It was imported from abroad. If you want to repair it, you have to ask those gringos. How high will the price be? Our town hospital is collecting money everywhere. Wait.
That ghost guy is here, I don’t know when!”
Doctor Liu said.
"ah?"
Uncle Jiu obviously didn't expect that the quality of the machine that the town hospital used as a publicity stunt was so poor.
"How about, let's go get a blood test first."
Doctor Liu said: "I just go to work, let's come together."
"Oh well."
Although the machine was broken, it was still there. Uncle Jiu reluctantly walked towards the town hospital with Dr. Liu.
After struggling all morning, Wen Cai's face became even paler after a tube of blood was drawn, his lips were so white without a trace of blood, and he felt groggy.
The doctor struggled for a while, but couldn't explain why. He just said that Wen Cai was suffering from a lack of blood.
Not getting the desired result, the group had no choice but to return home.
"Crackling..."
When everyone returned to Yizhuang holding umbrellas, the raindrops fell more and more heavily. The raindrops hit the umbrellas, making a crackling sound, and the road became a little muddy.
When they returned to the door, several people's feet were covered with a thick layer of mud.
"Huh?"
Just when Uncle Jiu stepped forward to open the door, Qiu Sheng suddenly gave a suspicious sound and walked towards the corner.
Zhou Yang and others looked in the direction where Qiu Sheng was walking, only to find that there was a person curled up on the ground!
It's no wonder that a few people didn't see it just now. The man was covered in mud and almost integrated with the ground. If Qiu Sheng hadn't accidentally glanced over there, it would have been difficult to see him.
"Why!"
Qiu Sheng held up his umbrella and reached out to slap the man on the face.
"no response."
Qiu Sheng turned around and said to the people who were looking at him.
Then he stretched out his finger and touched the tip of the man's pen: "There is still life."
"Help in!"
Uncle Jiu gave an order and opened the door.
Qiu Sheng looked at the muddy water on this man's body with some disgust, but still stretched out his hand and took the man's arm, dragging him up.
Zhou Yang put away the paper umbrella in his hand and handed it to Ren Tingting. He went up to Qiu Sheng and put a hand on the man's other shoulder.
The two of them supported him into the small courtyard and placed him on a chair with a backrest under the eaves.
Uncle Jiu took a wet towel, wiped his wrist, and pressed his fingers on his wrist.
After a while, Uncle Jiu stood up: "She's fainted from hunger. Give her some water first. Qiu Sheng, go and cook some millet porridge. When she wakes up, give her some porridge first, and then...
Qiusheng, don't be careless, she is a girl. After drinking porridge for a while, Tingting, please take her to take a hot bath. This girl is weak and has been exposed to the rain. If she has a fever again, it will be difficult to cure."
Qiu Sheng went to cook porridge, Ren Tingting went to heat hot water, and Wen Cai sat beside him sickly, staring at the rain in the yard in a daze.
Uncle Jiu held the umbrella again and went out, not knowing what he was going to do.
Zhou Yang took out a glass bottle in his hand.
This was just when he was in the town hospital. Zhou Yang bought a box of glucose water and kept it in his pocket so that he could quickly replenish his physical strength when he consumed too much.
Zhou Yang wiped the man's mouth with a wet towel, wiping away the mud and water, revealing two lips that were white with the cold.
Pinch open the person's mouth, pour a small amount of glucose water into her mouth, and the glucose water will flow down the esophagus.
"Hmm~"
There was a slight moan, the sound was a little hoarse.
The man's body had some reaction.
"Water~"
Zhou Yang saw that this person was somewhat conscious, so he squatted in front of her, reached out to support her head, and brought the glass bottle to her mouth.
After a few sips of glucose water, the man finally fluttered his eyelashes and opened his eyes.
