The weather is gloomy and the wind is getting colder. There were snowflakes floating outside the window, one in two or several.
"Exceptor Cao, the weather is about to change and the cold wind is coming. Winter is no longer suitable for acupuncture treatment. Wait until next spring and I will cure the paralysis in your legs."
In Caojiazhuang outside the capital, local doctor He Yinyang said after giving Cao Yuanwai acupuncture treatment.
"After Dr. He's treatment, my legs are much better. I'm still a little uncomfortable. I'll ask Dr. He to give me some treatment when the weather gets warmer next year."
After saying that, Yuan Cao stood up, took out a tael of silver, and handed it to He Yinyang.
"Executive member Cao, we will do the diagnosis today and we will not collect money. You can also give it to me at the next time of treatment."
"How can that be done? Can I let you run away in vain?" Cao Yuanwai gave He Yinyang the money and said, "A doctor also has to support his family. Your son is also ten years old, right? He, doctor, you're welcome."
He Yinyang knew Cao Yuanwai's temper, so he had no choice but to keep the money in his pocket. He picked up the medical box, slung it over his shoulder, and walked out the door.
"Mr. He, let me see you off." Mr. Cao also walked out. His legs were much better.
As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw several detectives standing at the door. One of them shouted: "Who is He Yin Yang and Lang Zhong?"
"You are a villain." He Yinyang put down the consultation box and replied, "I wonder what your orders are?"
Another detective said: "What did you do in Caojiazhuang?"
"The villain is here to give Cao Yuanwai acupuncture." He Yinyang explained.
"Is it illegal for a doctor to treat a disease?" Mr. Cao became angry.
"Exceptor Cao, are you sure Dr. He is performing acupuncture on you?"
"It's absolutely true!" He Yuanwai finally became angry and his tone became serious.
"Mr. He, I am Capt. Zhang. Please follow us to the county magistrate's office. The emperor has announced to the world that the doctor is not allowed to do acupuncture anymore! If you knowingly commit a crime, your crime will be increased!" A police officer said with a stern tone.
"Master Zhang, I really don't know that acupuncture has been banned." He Yinyang felt aggrieved.
"Let's go to the county government office and explain to us adults." The two detectives, one on each side, picked up He Yinyang and left.
"Mr. Cao, please put away my medical box. I'll come as soon as I go." He Yinyang turned to Mr. Cao and said.
"Mr. He, don't panic, I will find a way to save you!" After Cao Yuanwai finished speaking, he sighed deeply.
In the second year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, He Yinyang was arrested and imprisoned.
The reason turned out to be to treat common people with acupuncture.
This was like a thunderbolt among the local people, and they immediately exploded.
Dr. He has been treating blind people from all over the country for more than ten years and is deeply trusted by the villagers.
But no one knew why the emperor issued an order not to allow acupuncture to treat diseases.
Yuan Cao mobilized the villagers to go to the county government office to argue yin and yang.
However, the local magistrate Zhou Yuan held the black gauze hat tightly and sentenced He Yinyang to three years in prison.
Cao Yuanwai took He Yinyang's wife Xin Tao and son He Ziran to the county government many times to beat drums and complain.
Mr. Cao even spent a lot of money on it.
But He Yinyang is still trapped in a cage and cannot escape.
Who reported him? He Yinyang thinks about it every day in prison.
That day he went to Yuan He's house. Apart from his family, only Yuan Cao knew his whereabouts.
But Yuan Cao was obviously with him, so how did the county government know that he was at Yuan Cao's house?
On this day, He Yinyang's wife Xin Tao came to visit the prison with her ten-year-old son.
Xin Tao brought him clothes and quilts to keep out the cold.
"Madam, it's hard for you to take care of your child alone." He Yinyang apologized infinitely.
"My lord, Mr. Cao spent a lot of money to rescue you. Just wait." Xin Tao comforted He Yinyang.
"Madam, not many people knew that I was at Yuan Cao's house that day. Did any police officers come to our house to ask you that day?"
"It was cold that day, so we didn't go out, but we didn't meet anyone asking where you were going."
"Other than Mr. Cao, who else knows where I am going?"
"You suspect it's Yuan Cao? You treat him, why does he want to harm you?" Xin Tao's face was full of doubts.
"I'm just guessing. Yuanwai Cao treats me well and always gives me more medical fees than others."
"Cao Yuanwai is still spending money to save you. Mr. Cao, don't think too much."
"Okay, I'll just wait to go out and meet you in three years."
"Ms. sir, don't worry. Mr. Cao often goes to help us now. The family is doing well." Xin Tao told He Yinyang not to worry.
"Dad, I don't think Yuan Cao is a good person." Before leaving, his son He Ziran suddenly said something.
He Yinyang was shocked. How could a ten-year-old child say such a thing?
He Yinyang felt very guilty when he thought that he could no longer teach his son medical literacy.
"There are some medical books under dad's bed. If you like, you can read them." He Yinyang told his son.
It's just that his son is only ten years old and can't understand this yet, so he is a little anxious.
Xin Tao said, "Let me teach him how to read and write first. I will read your medical books in a few years." After saying that, he took his son and left.
That night, He Yinyang couldn't sleep for a long time thinking about his son's words.
He remembered the first time he went to see a doctor at Cao Yuan's maternal home. He was newly married at that time.
My wife Xin Tao is very interested in acupuncture, so she wants to learn it too.
When he arrived at Cao Yuanwai's home, He Yinyang treated Cao Yuanwai's cold and heat syndrome.
Mr. Cao asked his servant Uncle Zhao to bring tea and water, and he was very enthusiastic.
Before leaving, He Yinyang saw Mr. Cao looking straight at Xin Tao and said, "Mr. He, your wife is so beautiful!"
Thinking of this, He Yinyang suddenly sat up and no longer felt sleepy.
Could it be that all this was designed by Yuanwai Cao?
Could it be that Yuan Cao likes his wife Xin Tao?
In fact, Cao Yuanwai's illness is not serious and can be cured or not. Then why did he ask his servant to treat him that day?
After the treatment was over, why didn't I see the servant again?
Later, the county police officers came.
That servant must know the truth. He Yinyang fell asleep after thinking about it.
Spring is here in a blink of an eye.
Xin Tao took her son to visit He Yin Yang in prison again.
Xin Tao is not yet thirty years old, her face is rosy and she is still very beautiful.
He Yinyang blamed himself in his heart for not being able to take care of their mother and son.
But he clearly saw that his wife and son were doing well.
He Yinyang thought of Yuanwai Cao again.
"Did Mr. Cao accompany you here?" He Yinyang asked.
"Ms. sir, why are you so smart? You already know it before I say anything." Xin Tao was very surprised.
"Mr. Cao must have taken great care of you mother and son, right?"
"Yes, we have given money and gifts. We, mother and son, are living well. Mr. sir, don't worry, we will wait for you to come out."
"Can I still go out?" He Yinyang murmured.
"Ms. sir, what did you say?" Xin Tao was angry.
"Dad, you still have to come out early." His son He Ziran suddenly interrupted.
"Son, I think so too, but it's not something dad can decide."
"Dad, that Yuanwai Cao often comes to our house, and the neighbors say he has a crush on my mother!"
His son's words hurt He Yinyang deeply, and he was so heartbroken that he could not speak.
"You kid, what are you talking about? Don't listen to those people's nonsense!" Xin Tao slapped He Ziran.
"Go back, don't come see me again." He Yinyang turned around and shed tears.
"Dad, we will come to see you again! I read your book, I can understand it in the future!" He Ziran cried and shouted, but was still pulled away by his mother Xin Tao.
"Brother, your wife is very beautiful!" Wang San, an inmate next to him, said enviously.
"Oh, Wang San, maybe you won't be my wife in the future." He Yinyang couldn't help but sigh.
"Doesn't she behave like a woman?"
"No, she is very conservative. It's just because she is beautiful that maybe someone else is eyeing her."
"If she has you in her heart, you don't have to worry."
"But she comes from a womanly family after all, and the world is dangerous. Mother and son may not be anyone else's match."
"That's right. Your crime is indeed a bit far-fetched. Is it a crime to treat others?"
"The emperor said he was not allowed to use acupuncture to treat diseases, but he used it!" At this time, a tall and thick prisoner next to him stood up on Thursday.
"Thursday, are you still not a human being? Even if he gives people acupuncture, he won't go to jail, right?" Wang San also stood up, pointed at Thursday and said angrily.
"You are so fucking nosy, I will kill you today!" Thursday suddenly grabbed Wang San's throat.
Wang San also hugged Thursday and started fighting.
He Yinyang went up to start a fight, but he was very weak and was pushed to the ground by Thursday.
The fight alerted the jailer, and several people came in and took Zhou Zhou and Wang San away.
Later, only Thursday came back, and Wang San was transferred to another cell.
